hello, there. we start with the cricket world cup, where another convincing display from new zealand saw them make it two wins from two, to maintain their perfect record. they beat the netherlands by 99 runs, following up from their victory over champions, england, in their opener. drew savage reports. new zealand impressed in their first game against england, while the dutch had given pakistan a praet in theirs, but the crowd in hyderabad largely stayed away. they missed more quality kiwi batting. devon conway and will young got on top of the game from the start. rachin ravindra also impressed. seven different players hit a six — it's eight years since a team last did that at a world cup. a late flurry from mitch santner helped set

the netherlands a target of 323, which they've never managed in a 50—over game. and the dutch found themselves penned in by the new zealand bowlers, santner leading the way. the men in orange had to hit out, but when they did, it backfired, thanks to the juggling skills of a relieved trent boult. santner says he didn't bowl that well, but if you take five wickets for 59 runs, you're a hit with your team—mates. the netherlands finally ran out of batters three and a half overs before the end, a 99—run victory for a dominant new zealand. disappointment for the dutch and new zealand very happy with that win, but not getting carried away at this early stage. we knew that, you know, turning up we knew that, you know, turning up today honestly after the highs of beating england, we couldn't get too complacent. we know the netherlands are a good team, and they almost went pretty, you know, touched pakistan the other day, so it

was honestly nice to you know, get the w tonight, it's another two points, but you've got to move on pretty quickly in this tournament. we lost today, but i think we 'ust we lost today, but i think we just gave _ we lost today, but i think we just gave them too many runs. we should _ just gave them too many runs. we should not have changed 320. may be _ we should not have changed 320. may be 280, 290 would have been a decent _ may be 280, 290 would have been a decent chase. defending champions, england, are back in action on tuesday, when they face bangladesh. ahead of the match in dharamsala, captainjos buttler has questioned the sandy, patchy outfield, asking if the poor state of it impacts the integrity of the game. injuries can happen any time, can't they, on any surface, but i think it's definitely one where, you know, you're going to have to be a little bit careful, which isn't what you want to be doing, playing for your country. you know, you want to put your body on the line and be trying to save every single run or have confidence in the field. look, it's not as good as it could be or should be,

it's not as good as it could be orshould be, but it's not as good as it could be or should be, but it's going to be the same for both teams. we won't use it as an excuse. we will adapt to it. but yes, certainly if you are having to hold yourself back, its not a place you want to be as a team or player or in a world cup match. and cricket could get another global stage, as organisers of the los angeles olympics are asking for it to be included, for the first time since 1900. la 2028 also want flag football, which is a non—contact version of american football included. baseball and softball are on their list, as well, after their re—appearance at tokyo two years ago. squash and lacrosse are the other recommendations, which are subject to final approval by the international olympic committee, and that could come at a meeting in mumbai later this month. at the rugby world cup, there's been a huge boost for hosts, france, ahead of their quarterfinal against defending champions, south africa, on sunday. their captain, antoine dupont, has been cleared to return to training,

ahead of the match. dupont hasn't played since suffering a broken cheekbone, following a tackle during france's big win over namibia last month. he had surgery and he'll now make the call over whether he's fit enough to play, but their opponents say it won't affect their preparation. it won't affect us if he plays or doesn't play. we are going to prepare to play against a team and not an individual, so yes, i think there has honestly been a long said about him throughout the world. he is honestly a great player, but we will prepare as a team playing against a team of france, not just against him, so, but it's always good to play against one of the world's best. also today, rugby union's world governing body today announced a plan they hope will be a game—changer for the sport, when it comes to head injuries. high—tech mouthguards will be introduced from later this

month, and world rugby hope the data can go some way to managing concussions. our rugby union correspondent chrisjones explains how they will work. as we know, rugby union has been grappling with something of an existential crisis over safety in the sport, and technology is seen by the governing bodies as a way to safeguard rugby union's future. so a player would wear a mouth guard with bluetooth technology, and if they took a collision, then it would be transmitted to the pits eye doctor, who would be able to gather the data and see whether any of the force of the impact had gone above a certain threshold, and a player takes on average, say, 25 hits over a certain threshold per game, if they went over that, or had any that went so far over that it was a cause for concern, the player would either be permanently removed or would come off for a pit site assessment, a head injury assessment, a head injury assessment, the hia. so yes, it could be a very significant moment for the sport. there will be lots of devil in the

detail but the authorities feel it is a big step in the right direction. former england and manchester united star wayne rooney has been linked with the vacant manager's position at english championship club, birmingham city. rooney left his role as coach of mls side dc united over the weekend. seven—time super bowl champion tom brady is a minority owner of the side, who lie sixth in the championship. they sacked head coachjohn eustace on earlier on monday. carlos alcaraz beat britain's dan evans in at the shanghai masters but it was far from straightforward. the world number two came from a break down in the first set to force a tie—break against evans. and after taking the first point of that, with some great defensive work and a cross—court winner, the spaniard stayed in control to edge ahead in their third round match. evans was far from done, though. he broke alcaraz again early in the next set. but he was pegged back and lost the second, while serving

to stay in the match. two sets to love, in two and a half hours. alcaraz will play grigor dimitrov in the last 16. there was a shock, with world number six stefanos tsitsipas beaten by france's ugo humbert, 30 places below the greek in the rankings. this one went to three sets, and humbert took the decider, 7—5, to make it through to the next round, where face the american, jj wolf. max verstappen secured his third formula one world championship at the qatar grand prix on the weekend. it puts the dutchman level on titles with the likes of ayrton senna and sirjackie stewart. he spoke to karthi gnanasegram after his race victory on sunday. yeah i mean, of course very proud to achieve three titles. it is something i never imagined was possible when i started my career, but you know, here we are, and of course, definitely enjoying the moment. course, definitely en'oying the moment. ., ., ., _ moment. you have obviously incredible — moment. you have obviously incredible natural— moment. you have obviously incredible natural skill - moment. you have obviously incredible natural skill but i incredible natural skill but what have you learned from

try to be better every single year, every single race that you jump in year, every single race that youjump in the year, every single race that you jump in the car. christian horner said _ you jump in the car. christian horner said you _ you jump in the car. christian horner said you are - you jump in the car. christian horner said you are the - you jump in the car. christian horner said you are the mostj horner said you are the most competitive driver he's ever met, that's really saying something. where does that competitive edge come from, and do you realise you might be the most competitive person that somebody like christian horner has ever met? i somebody like christian horner has ever met?— has ever met? i guess it's in the family- _ has ever met? i guess it's in the family. we _ has ever met? i guess it's in the family. we like - has ever met? i guess it's in the family. we like to - has ever met? i guess it's in | the family. we like to always do the best we can, get the most out of it, that's how i grew up. always wanting to improve yourself. finally, england's matt fitzpatrick won the individual and team event at the alfred dunhill links championship in scotland. the tournament was reduced to sa holes after saturday and sunday were a wash—out. fitzpatrick finished at 19—under for his three rounds. that also gave him and his mother susan the best net score of 35—under to win the team tournament, by five shots. it was amazing. you know, we are asleep late last year and didn't quite play so well, and

this year she has played fantastic and i played really solid as well. ijust think, yeah, you just couldn't ask for a better week. congratulations to him and _ a better week. congratulations to him and his _ a better week. congratulations to him and his mum, - a better week. congratulations to him and his mum, susan. . that is all from us at the moment. we will see you again soon. goodbye. hello again. monday felt like another warm, summer's day — except, of course, it wasn't summer. no, its october. it's meant to be a lot colder than this. these blue, sunny skies sent temperatures soaring, particularly across england and wales — the warmest spot, east malling in kent, 26 degrees celsius. now, average for these cities at this time of the year is 15 or 16 degrees, so ten degrees above average. even the temperatures we had on monday were in excess of what we'd see in a typical july day, so that's why it felt like summer. now, you can see the clear skies that we had across england and wales, but lurking out in the atlantic, we've got more rain—bearing cloud around, and that's not good news for scotland, where we still have the bulk of the flood warnings

in force across the nation. it's here where, of course, we saw torrential rain and flooding over the course of the weekend, and with more rain developing over the next few hours, that's not going to be exactly welcome rain that arrives. further southwards, across england and wales, we keep those clear spells over the next few hours. one or two mist patches and a few fog patches developing, but it's a mild start to the day on tuesday. i think the biggest concern, though, will continue to be this area of rain affecting scotland. in the grand scheme of things, 50 millimetres falling from this weather front over the mountains of western scotland isn't a huge amount, but given that we've got flood warnings already in force, the ground saturated after what fell over the weekend, then this rain could cause some further extra issues. it does trickle southwards, reaching northern ireland and the far north of england, as well, late tuesday afternoon. south of that, it's very warm again. once we've lost those mist and fog patches, temperatures could hit 2a degrees in the warmest spots. now, tuesday night sees this band of rain pull away from scotland, so hopefully things will begin to improve here, to a degree. but we've got some heavier rain setting in place further southwards across england

and wales, and this rain band through wednesday slowly moves across wales, the midlands, into east anglia, perhaps not reaching the far south until after dark, where it will continue to be warm, with temperatures in the low 20s. but otherwise, those temperatures coming back down closer to average levels for october. now, heading into thursday, we've got some more rain moving overnight and into friday, affecting parts of england and wales. so rain, at times, probably best sums up the weather picture. that rain clears away into the weekend, with temperatures dropping back closer to the october averages.

live from washington. this is bbc news. more airstrikes hit gaza, as israel orders a complete seige of the area. we have a correspondent on the ground in gaza, where supplies are running out, and the destruction is clear to see. and the us defense department lays out how it's helping israel — and steps they hope will contain the crisis. hello. i'm caitriona perry.

you are very welcome. let's start with the very latest on the hamas attack on israel. prime mister benjamin netanyahu says that israel will use "enormous force" against hamas. the israeli defence forces report that more than 1,200 targets were hit in the gaza strips between saturday and monday morning, with more strikes continuing through the day and night. israel's defence minister ordered a complete siege of gaza, which would cut off food, fuel, electricity, and water supplies. the bbc�*s diplomatic editor paul adams reports that if israel wants to deal hamas a decisive blow, the grouund operation will complicate matters for civilians and hostages in gaza. the white house says it has no plans to send troops into israel, but pledged support for it as it fights back against hamas, releasing a statement along with four other nations condemning the attacks and calling for peace in the middle east. in other developments, the armed wing of hamas has threatened to kill israeli hostages if palestinian

civilians are not warned about impending air strikes.
