manchester united we re kevin de bruyne. manchester united were briefly on top this afternoon. they beat struggling crystal palace 4-0. they beat struggling crystal palace 4—0. you think, i know it is early in the season, but four goals and they have closed the gap. how important could those four goldsby at the end of the season? goal difference might come into it. juan mata score the only goal and it was effectively over after that. two calls for marouane fellaini. romelu lukaku calls for marouane fellaini. romelu lu ka ku got calls for marouane fellaini. romelu lukaku got his calls for marouane fellaini. romelu lu ka ku got his 11th calls for marouane fellaini. romelu lukaku got his 11th goal, which equals andy cole's record, seven goals in his first seven premier league games. the best start to their season since 2011—2012. for jose mourinho it is looking really good at the moment. but challenges to come because they have got liverpool after the international break. some people are saying they had not played the big teams, but jose mourinho was delighted. a good performa

arena. —— concertina manchester arena. —— concert here at manchester arena. the youngest to be killed was just eight years old and many were paid who are collecting their children but tonight is about celebrating manchester and remembering those victims. the bands that are playing from the city ignored gallagher, rick astley —— noel gallagher. those who are at the concert when the bomb went off, it is about trying to replace the horrific memories of something more positive and some of the families have been here visiting the families have been here visiting the arena, senior refurbished to help them come to terms with what has happened. james allen is from the arena. i think it's going to be emotional for everybody. not only will we have our staff here, we will also have people that read heard on the night that have bought a ticket and came back. i think this is emotional for the whole of manchester. what we are hoping to do is give people confidence to come back to the arena not just tomorrow night but going forward and finding that they will have a safe

manchester city, makes good reading for theirfans. they manchester city, makes good reading for their fans. they are top of group f. a comfortable wind against feyenoord in rotterdam. feyenoord, 16 years out of the champions league, but they were soon a goal down. look at this finish from aguero. lovely. great performance from manchester city against feyenoord, who won the dutch title this season for the first time for 16 years. gabrieljesus was on the side there. thenjohn stones, with his second goal. a 4—0 victory for manchester city, and they are looking strong. pep guardiola has w011 looking strong. pep guardiola has won the champions league twice with barcelona. didn't manage to win it with bayern munich. they will certainly hope that they will get it this season. great start, because it's a tough group. also in that group, napoli lost, which is a surprise, so man city taking control. thank you very much. manchester united midfielder paul pogba is set to be out for between a month and six weeks with a hamstring injury sustained

manchester city thrashed 10 man liverpool 5—0. it was their best result against liverpool for 80 years and jurgen klopp's worst result since hejoined the club. adam wild was watching the match. the season may only be a few weeks old, but already a match with plenty of promise. two teams quick to catch the eye, so far attractive and entertaining. that was the promise. the reality was a little more complex. liverpool beginning the brighter, but it was city who got things started. given an opportunity, few are as reliable as sergio aguero. that was important but it is what happened next that made all the difference. liverpool forced to chase things. they did so with rather too much gusto. sadio mane shown a red card for this challenge, wreckless, and ultimately damaging. city unforgiving. with an extra man, one goal became two before half—time, gabrieljesus headed his first. his second after the break was little more than a gift. the only real mystery left was just how many were coming. leroy sane provided the answers. this made it

manchester united have just scored so manchester united have just scored so all that will change and we will show you that later at 7:30pm. at the bottom of the table, some fixtures coming up. west ham are in all sorts of bother. west ham and crystal palace have yet to play so they will try and find their first to play so they will try and find theirfirst points. to play so they will try and find their first points. but bournemouth really worry me, they are the team i have followed all my life, where are they going to get their goals and they going to get their goals and the points? there you are. you are right up to date. and manchester united just taken the lead against stoke with a clear half and i were left in that game. let's bring you up to date in the scottish premiership, and aberdeen couldn't regain their lead at the top of the table after a nil—nil draw at hearts, so celtic are still top. motherwell beat kilmarnock for their third league win in a row. rangers were comfortable winners over dundee. and ross county drew with partick thistle. third placed stjohnstone held on

both manchester city and liverpool will have the chance to move can see that the west both manchester city and liverpool will have the chance to move to the top of the premier league table for a few hours at least when they meet in the day's early kick off. extra incentive might be the opportunity to move above rivals manchester united. liverpool managerjurgen klopp has decided to leave out brazilian forward philippe coutinho, who's returned to training following liverpool's refusal to allow him to move to barcelona. he could have played 15 or 20 minutes, but again in the city game, maybe longer, but i think really it makes sense and by the way he agreed completely. it was not that he said no, i don't need training, i want to play or whatever. it was a good conversation. i play against a european club, jurgen klopp's team show me a lot and he is a top manager so the team is well organised to defend well and the conditions. when they regain the ball, they had amazing. strikerjodie taylor was named england's player of the year, at the football association's women's football awards yeste

chris mason is in manchester for us now. good evening from the centre of manchester where the prime minister and her husband had just swept into the conference centre in the last couple of minutes to be met by the president of the conservative convention. she will meet activists in the coming hours as they arrive here forfour orfive in the coming hours as they arrive here for four or five days of chewing the political fact. here for four or five days of chewing the politicalfact. the big question is the extent to which brexit will dominate the conversation after the second time ina conversation after the second time in a month that the prime minister's weekend has been dominated by an intervention from her foreign secretary. could the next few days bring unity to the conservative party? horribly not the issue of brexit dominates the agenda. the prime minister was to talk about domestic issues. her foreign secretary has other ideas. in an interview with the sun newspaper, boris johnson in an interview with the sun newspaper,

manchester city and shakhtar donetsk both got off to impressive starts in the opening round, manchester city beating feyenoord 4—0, shaktar able to beat napoli who are top of celia at the moment, ally mccoist, looking forward to this game, you'd expect manchester city to bid goals past anyone in the mood they are in at the moment. you would, they look on fire, calls on all areas of the park as you would expect. both teams had great opening games in their section and i'm really looking forward to the game, i am looking forward to seeing shakhtar donetsk, they are aside i have not seen a lot of the season. i think they have only had one defeat this year but manchester city will take some stopping at the moment. it's always a battle in ukraine, one area of concern for pep guardiola has been the injury to benjamin mendy, for all their money and depth of squad they don't have many left—sided defender, gael clichy and aleksandar kolarov left. yes, sod 's law, the one place, they have cover everywhere on the part except from that area and i'm thinking they will miss him to a certain degree

in the wake of this terrible event, manchester, evenin this terrible event, manchester, even in the immediate aftermath, has shown incredible resilience and solidarity, and a sense of community which has been seen worldwide. that is what is on show this evening and thatis is what is on show this evening and that is what the concert tonight is all about. as well as showing that manchester arena here is very much open for business. there are some really exciting events coming up. john legend is playing here soon, lady gaga and disney on is, it is about showing that this is a safe place to bring your family about showing that this is a safe place to bring yourfamily —— disney on ice. thank you. hundreds of thousands of muslim people fleeing violence in myanmar say the country's military has been burning their villages to the ground. the united nations now believes almost 300000 rohingya refugees have crossed the border to bangladesh, creating a humanitarian crisis on an epic scale. 0ur south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt, followed one family for a day to see how its coping. roshida is n

manchester city have missed out on a key target, alexis sanchez. there is also a bitter disappointment in alexis sanchez‘s camp, because he thought he was going to become a mentor is a city player. that is because a conditional agreement had been reached between arsenal and manchester city. conditional wire? because arsenal needed to sign a replacement, thomas lemar of monaco. however, thomas lemar turned the deal done, and that is where the whole story collapses. his refusal tojoin arsenal whole story collapses. his refusal to join arsenal meant that they were unwilling to sanction the departure of alexis sanchez to manchester city. he was at the club and become free agent next summer, when he could join manchester city, but for now, arsenal will keep him, and hope that he will help them to success this season. tottenham have completed the signing of paris st—germain defender serge aurierfor a fee in the region of $30 million. the 24—year—old ivory coast right—back has signed a five—year contract until 2022. swansea have re—signed st

the prime minister arrived in manchester a little earlier with her husband phillip. she's facing a new intervention on the brexit negotiations from the foreign secretary borisjohnson, who has called for a strict time limit on fully leaving the eu. our political correspondent chris mason has the latest. theresa may, already, before the conference had started, and on the issue of augustjohnson, it raises the whole question of her leadership again because borisjohnson‘s ambitions are nothing if not fairly transparent. and so by doing what he has done, notjust on brexit, but by straying onto territory way over the remit of the foreign secretary, student debt and public sector to pay, it raises the question which has dominated the margins of this conference which is ultimately about the shelf life of this prime minister. i think what we will get repeatedly from conservative spokesmen and women is a desire to speak about anything but brexit. talking about domestic political priorities. they are keenly aware that conservatives in this government will be defined and see th

the visitors had the better of the early play but manchester city lead, the only goal5 so manchester city lead, the only goal5 so far putting them one up. a liverpool player has just been sent off for a challenge on the goalkeeper. liverpool down to ten men and they're losing. mo5t 0lympic medalli5t5 wait until they've retired to launch their own academie5, but not james guy. the world champion is only 21, but he's looking to help develop the nation's next swimming 5uper5tar5 and will even fund the development of ten youngsters from around the country. bbc 0lympic reporter nick hope reports. james guy, back where it all began. trafford metro in greater manchester was his first club and his academy launch simply had to happen here. i was created here and this is where it all started for me. so first swimming lessons and without them today, i don't know where i'd be. going to get ten kids from the age of 1a to 17 and they will become part of the jj academy, which is quite cool, really. and these are the guys that are going and push you when we are tired and done. so hopefully when they

manchester united complete the trio of british sides in action tonight. and are making a return to the competition for the first time since 2015. basel provide the opposition in their opening game in group a. and having drawn with united on their two previous visits to old trafford they won't be taken lightly. the opponent has the same ambition that we have and the opponent can perfectly come here, as they did in the past, and give manchester united a bad taste. but we go to this match thinking we can win. we will go to the second match in moscow thinking that we can win. we go into this match thinking that we can win. the views there ofjose mourinho ahead of tonight's match. commentary of united against basel is on bbc radio from john murray at old trafford. i've seen english clubs falling foul of basel in the past and i've seen manchester united falling foul of them but here, chris, ithink manchester united falling foul of them but here, chris, i think the expectation is that united will and should get off to a winning start in the group? yeah i think b

that is worrying for manchester united on a good night for them. so, asjohn had said, there was a good win for manchester united on their return to the competition. they beat basel 3—0 at home, but their manager, jose mourinho, still thinks it's an open group. 3-0 3—0 against the wave of the game in this spirit. but as i was saying before, in fairness, this spirit. but as i was saying before, infairness, in this spirit. but as i was saying before, in fairness, in this group, any team can take points from another team. i think they can get it in moscow. anything can happen. it is an open group. shanghai sipg are through to the semi—finals of the asian champions league after an incredible game in guangzhou. elsewhere on tuesday, bayern munich saw off a io—man anderlecht 3—0 in their opening champions league group match. sporting lisbon had lost their last four matches in the champions league but they managed a 3—2 win away to olympiacos. there are full details on the bbc website. shanghai sipg are through to the semi—finals of the asian

it is a dream to be here again at a club like manchester city. we have fought a lot to qualify to be there because the gap was so close between us, between arsenal, between liverpool and between manchester united. and we have fought a lot to be here. we start our road, and from my experience in barcelona and bayern munich we know how difficult qualifying for the next steps, semifinals, quarterfinals, but always a way it was so tough. pep guardiola's big decision in terms of tea m guardiola's big decision in terms of team selection is whether to include the goalkeeper ederson, the brazilian received eight stitches to his face in the collision with liverpool's sadio mane on saturday but has been training with the rugby style scru m but has been training with the rugby style scrum cap over the last 48 hours, and he will look like better check if he takes to the pitch this evening. they are hopeful he will start. manchester city look to build on what has been a promising beginning from english clubs in the champions league this season following the w

manchester city. they can't stop scoring. 15 goals in the last three games, if you include champions league. next up they play crystal palace. let's hear from league. next up they play crystal palace. let's hearfrom pep guardiola. it's complicated, that's the champions league. just three days the next game, i didn't expect to win in this way. i am so happy for the players for their commitment. three more points, especially for the way we played. city is strong enough, we made some mistakes in the first goals we conceded but the first goal, everybody said to me, it is offside. the third goal was offside. the second goal, we made a big mistake. after half time we made some reaction but the first and third is offside. it's not a normal game. the next great repeal —— the next game is for crystal palace. from the terraces to the top job, roy hodgson‘s life now comes full circle. taking charge of crystal palace, the club he supported as a boy. these won't be the circumstances of which he once dreamed.

manchester city and manchester united are level on points at the top of the premier league. city's 5—0 thrashing of liverpool helped their goal difference but united remain above them despite the fact they could only draw 2—2 against stoke, a result that ended their perfect start to the season. iam not i am not satisfied with the point because i think we were the team that try to win, the team that were closer to winning, the team that got the result in the last 20 minutes to win the match. but i have got to say thatis win the match. but i have got to say that is the result that i accept. one thing trying to win, one thing trying to get the point, but they fought hard for that point. watford are up to fourth in the table thanks toa are up to fourth in the table thanks to a 2—0 win at southampton. daryl janmaat scored just after you came off the bench. marco silva is unbeaten in his first four games in charge. august is over so striker harry kane is back among the goals. he scored his 100th for spurs, before promptly adding another in their 3—0 win at everton. elsewhe

we are manchester and pride. it is one to be a challenging evening for this family who bought tickets for tonight despite having beenin tickets for tonight despite having been in the foyer when the bomb went off. scary, nervous. but we are going to enjoy it. we are here for the 22 people who died. we have to make memories, they cannot make those memories any more, can make? inside, the first people to sit in these seats since the bomb exploded in may. before the concert, greater manchester's may read the names of the 22 victims. saffie roussos. courtney and philip. wendy... and the poet, tony walsh, started proceedings. always remember, never forget. and to make sure that happens, the proceeds from tonight will go towards a permanent memorial for those who died. colin patterson, bbc news, manchester. with all the sport, ere's olly foster at the bbc sport centre. hello, there. england's cricketers have clinched the test series against the west indies. they won the decider at lord's by nine wickets with over two da

our political correspondent chris mason is in manchester ahead of the conference. he says it could be difficult for the prime minister. what's striking about his latest interview, you might argue about the foreign secretary talking about brexit is reasonable but because the uk's relationship with its nearest neighbours is in the remit of the foreign secretary. but in that interview in the sun, he expressed his own view on government policy beyond his cabinet remit. he talked about dealing with student debt for university students, for instance. he talked about public sector pay and in conventional times when prime minister commanded a majority and commanded the respect of her cabinet, any breach of collective responsibility, singing publicly from the same hymn sheet would lead to said cabinet minister being turfed onto the back benches. but these aren't normal times, given the prime minister approaches this conference humiliated after the reverse of the general election. chris mason. at ukip‘s party conference in torquay, new leader henry bolton has warned that m

let's back to chris in manchester. how many times can borisjohnson intervene in this way before theresa may has to do something? that is a very good question. i suspect, once again, downing street will be irritated by this intervention from borisjohnson. the irritated by this intervention from boris johnson. the fact irritated by this intervention from borisjohnson. the fact is able to do it consistently speaks to the political reality the prime minister finds herself in. what is striking about this latest intervention is not just the about this latest intervention is notjust the remarks about brexit where he went beyond what the prime minister had said in her speech in florence but he meandered once again onto territory way beyond the brief ofa onto territory way beyond the brief of a foreign secretary, talking about student debt for those graduating from university and talking about public sector pay as well. the simple reality at this stage right given the prime minister's precarious political reality, is their isra

the prime minister arrived in manchester a little earlier with her husband phillip. she's facing a new intervention on the brexit negotiations from the foreign secretary borisjohnson, who has called for a strict time limit on fully leaving the eu. could the next few days bring unity to the conservative party? probably not, if the issue of brexit dominates the agenda. as they reflect on a disappointing election result, the prime minister wants to talk about domestic issues but her foreign secretary has other ideas. in an interview with the sun, borisjohnson lays out four red lines for brexit. he says the transition period after march 2019 should not be a second longer than two years. the uk should not accept any new rulings from brussels during that time. no payments should be made for access to the single market. and there should be no shadowing of the eu after brexit, mimicking eu rules to ensure free trade. let us be creative as well as practical... last week in florence, theresa may tried to move eu negotiations forward with a speech suggesting compromises in some

scoring, not a problem for manchester city though. they go clear at the top, as sergio aguero‘s hatrick helps them to a 6—0 win at watford. and sebastien vettel is sensational in singapore. he takes pole position ahead of tomorrow's grand prix, but championship leader lewis hamilton can only manage fifth. also coming up in the programme: another huge fight night in las vegas approaches. we bring you all the build up to saul alvarez versus gennady golovkin — two of boxing's biggest punchers. we begin with the day's football and roy hodgson‘s return to management with crystal palace began in defeat to southampton. if the former england boss didn't know the size of the task facing him, he does know, as palace lost again. —— he does now. that's now five defeats from five, without scoring a goal, the first time that's ever happened in the top flight. adam wild reports. from the terraces to the top job, roy hodgson‘s life now comes full circle. taking charge of crystal palace, the club he supported as a boy. these won't be the
