that's maybe more on the players to take initiative to do that because it is like i said, it's lonely and i've been in many low spots where, you know, you have some negative thoughts which are, you know, you don't ever want to have, but that's golf. golf can do that to you and you've got to do your best to not let it do that. tiger woods, for the first time in his career, has had to rely on an invitation to play this week and despite struggling physically since his return from a car accident, he believes he's in the right shape to contend. i do. i do feel like i have the strength to be able to do it. it's just a matter of doing it. this golf course is going to test every single aspect of your game, especially mentally and just the mental discipline that it takes to play this particular golf course. it's going to take a lot. emma raducanu got her grass—court season off to a winning start with a straight sets victory over japan's ena shibahara at the nottingham open. the 2021 us open winner was playing in herfirst match since april, having opted to skip the french open to focus on her fitness. alex fletcher was watching. emma raducanu is back on grass after nearly a full two years. time for a return for emma raducanu. injury has disrupted her grass court career but no signs of nottingham nerves early on. a break of serve in the opening game. and one break soon became two. accuracy in abundance. and all too much for her opponents closing out the opening set injust 31 minutes. and despite breaking twice in the second innings, ena shibahara could not stop the inevitable game set matter of the final. 713 days after she lost steps onto a grass court. emma raducanu winning on home turf. alex fletcher, bbc news. finally — there will be more mothers than ever representing britain at the 2024 olympics and paralympics. our sports news correspondent laura scott has been speaking to four mothers vying for places at paris 2024. they're too young to understand, but there's a thread linking these boys — and their toys. their mums are all elite athletes vying for selection for the olympics and paralympics this summer. these four are part of a growing number trying to do both. you stop it! but when hockey playerjo pinner became the first in the gigabits —— gigabits squad to have a baby, squad to have a baby, she set about forming an athlete mums group chat, which now has 15 members. we're all different sports, and we've all had different pregnancies, different experiences., and i thinkjust that awareness that we're, like, we're not alone. what we've been quite good at is telling each other if there are inconsistencies in how we're being treated, or the benefits or support we're receiving. despite steps to make it easier for athletes to return after having children — like continuing their funding during pregnancy — challenges remain. i don't feel like it's offensive any more. i don't feel like you're going to not be supported. i just don't necessarily think that we've thought of all the right ways in which to support mothers. how have you found that return and how you view your body and how your body has responded to getting back to top—level sport? it's a journey, isn't it? laughter. i wouldn't say i'm back to where i would want to be, and i thought that i would be back by now. but, again, i think it's one of those things that is so unknown, like, you don't know how your body is going to react. and i didn't know how my body was going to react with having a disability, as well. some feel they've become even better athletes. so i'm actually faster than i was before. really?! amazing! i've actually pb'd all my lifts and most of my tests this year. i certainly came to respect myself in ways where i probably wouldn't have before. so what's the one area they think needs even more focus? pelvic floor is the go—to for me with that question. 24 months postpartum... you still need to be... ..like, if you get a cold and you're coughing loads, you probably will wet yourself and it's like — it sounds awful, but it's a normal thing, and i know there's so many mums — not athletes — out there that just think they have to keep quiet about it, and you shouldn't. they hope that by highlighting shortcomings in what they experienced, things will be better for the next generation of mothers. the biggest thing for me was making sure that, if i was going to be the guinea pig, no—one else had to go through this same journey and these same issues, which i think british rowing have dealt with really well, like maternity policies coming out. i'm really excited for that to come out, and for other people to also try and do the same journey and see how many mums we end up with on the team. while sporting success still drives them, having their children to come home to has given them a new perspective, and an acceptance that not everything goes to plan. laura scott, bbc news. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. it's felt quite pleasant in any strong june sunshine. but generally temperatures have been below par for this time of year and wednesday looks pretty similar to the last few days. some spells of sunshine, variable cloud and further showers mostly across eastern areas. i think there'll be fewer showers around on wednesday because this is a ridge of high pressure, will tend to kill the showers off. the winds will be lighter, but we're still got that blue hue, that cold arctic air hanging around for at least one more day before something milder starts to push in off the atlantic, but with wind and rain. so it's a chilly start to wednesday. temperatures could be in low single digits in some rural spots. these are towns and city values. a little bit of mist and fog where skies have cleared overnight, but it's here where you'll have the best of the sunshine, northern and western areas. a bit of cloud across eastern scotland, eastern england, one 01’ two showers. through the day, it'll be one of sunshine and showers, but the clouds will tend to build most of the showers eastern areas, tending to stay drier towards the west with the best of the sunshine. so it could be up to 17 or 18 degrees in the sunniest spots, but generally cool, ten to 15 or 16 celsius. and then as we move through wednesday night, any showers fade away, lengthy, clear skies. the temperatures will tumble against mist and fog developing. temperatures in rural spots dipping close to freezing in a few places. generally, though, in the towns and cities, we're looking at 4 to eight degrees. now we'll start to see some changes into thursday. we change the wind direction, we lose that cooler air, something a bit milder. but this frontal system tied into low pressure will start to bring wet and windy weather initially into northern ireland, spreading across the irish sea, into western britain and pushing its way eastward. so we start dry with some early sunshine across eastern areas and it should stay dry, i think in eastern england, eastern scotland until after dark. we change the wind direction despite more cloud around, 17 or 18 degrees. and it means thursday night will be milder. so a milder start to friday, but low pressure across the country bring stronger winds, sunshine and showers or longer spells of rain. some of these showers will be heavy and thundery, particularly across southern and western areas. but despite that, in the sunshine, it'll feel a little bit warmer, maybe 19 or 20 degrees. not much change into the weekend, low pressure dominates the scene. it'll be breezy at times. there will be showers or longer spells of rain again, some of them heavy and thundery. but in the sunnier, brighter moments, it'llfeela bit warmer, 19 or 20 degrees. and another thing you'll notice, it will feel milder at night. take care.

has the latest. the hottest abbreviation in tech these days is easily ai. apple is taking shot at redefining artificial intelligence into apple intelligence. the company unveiled a series of micro when related announcements at its worldwide developers concerts on monday chief among them a partnership with the artificial intelligence juggernaut openai. that will allow apple to integrate start up�*s cutting edge chat bot chatgpt into its devices including a superpowered series. the voice assistant will be available with chatgpt features for free later this year. other new additions include ai generated images of a mode help with proofreading in tone adjustment. these announcement are the big stand apple integrating ai features that have captured viewers attention and spending the big bucks rewarding terms that are not onlyjumped up but rewarding the ai bandwagon like nvidia that makes the chips that powers the ai revolution. overtaking apple itself to become the most viable company in the world by market value position. microsoft which has its own long—standing partnership with openai remains the most valuable. apple's entrance into the artificial intelligence space may be viewed as late, when compared to rivals like microsoft and google. but experts say this could herald in a new frontier for the technology. i have been speaking tojulie ask , an independent technology analyst. a few things stood out from the conference for me. first, with the announcement from apple that they are going to invent generative ai into so many of their devices applications and experiences the offer to consumers, they remind us with most of the valley with large language value is still at the application layer. they also remind us that generative ai isjust one portion of the experience. consumers do not go out and buy generative ai, they buy or invest in experiences which generative ai can make better. the third thing they remind us of this entry to the market is having access and owning a relationship with the consumers is essential for any kind of success and today apple has over two billion devices installed. where do you see the company now in the ai race, still playing catch—up? i would say yes and no. do not believe apple is late to the ai race, it is later at an expected to incorporate ai into its experience but apple has vintages of the companies do not. the first is when it comes to consumer pots personal contacts is so important and apple may have more context than any other entity. at the first iphone launch they had 16 native apps now it has at least 30 including my health information, my banking, my fitness, my e—mail, maps, my shopping, all the things that i do. so when we think about the usefulness of generative ai at a personal level, it is one thing to ask the internet, what is the best pizza to eat, it's a different thing to ask someone who knows me well. so i would say that is one of the first points. going further down the list, it certainly reminds us of privacy matters and apple is good at that. consumers do not buy technology, they invest in utilities into entertainment. consumers also would use love interface, this is not about chabad or a verbal interface with an application, generative ai will do things like create and analyse so apple is really showcasing the broad set of use cases in the way that generative ai can upgrade experiences. how are you seeing apple placed in china, it has been lacking, but do you see the demand for al making up for that? i think it will be hard with generative ai in china because these models will not translate one for one. it does not like they can't do something for translation, but they were not trained for chinese data, openai is not available in china, there is biases, issues with the language so i think we are still in a bit of a week and see in terms with these announcements need today for those consumers that own these devices in china. tesla ceo elon musk has reacted to apple's announcements. he says apple devices will be banned from his companies if it integrates openai at an operating system level. in a post on his social media platform x, he said allowing the devices would be an "unacceptable security violation". mr musk was one of the founders of openai in 2015. but he has since sued the company for allegedly deviating from its non—profit mission. turning to china, that makes most of the world's electric cars and ev batteries. a flagging economy has driven some chinese carmakers to expand overseas. but with cheaper chinese evs flooding the global market, the us has imposed tariffs on the vehicles. and the european union is widely expected to follow suit. hans greimel from automotive news gave us a sense of what's at stake. the us as you have just mentioned has a 100% tariff on exports from china and the eu is about to follow suit, although the import tariff rate is not expected to be as high. it is probably going to be around io—25%. that will probably be more than enough to offset the or to out cost the cost of exporting from china to the eu in terms of logistics and shipping. so that basically would reconfigure the cost equation that chinese auto—makers face. given the influx of cheaper alternatives to chinese evs something widely reported and talked about, what can china do in the current scenario? probably one immediate impact you will see is a shift perhaps from exporting from china to the eu, instead they will now consider building more factories in the eu, to build locally and that would be one way that the chinese will probably try to get around the idea of doing that. you see this already happening with volvo. volvo was exporting some vehicles from china back to the eu. now they are thinking about re—shoring, if you will, putting some of the factory capacity back in europe to feed the local market. over in the us, a senate panel is expanding a probe into bmw over its use of components from a banned chinese supplier. senator ron wyden found last month that the german carmaker imported at least eight thousand mini coopers into the united states, which contained parts from the chinese supplier. he is now inquiring whether the parts were found in any other bmw products. bmw did not immediately respond to a request for comment. the firm said earlier that it had "taken steps to halt the importation of affected products." lack of affordable housing is a big issue across much of the world and with an election imminent in the uk, the subject has never been more important. the uk has the highest housing costs in the english—speaking world. on average more than a quarter of disposable income is spent on housing. the bbc�*s economics editor faisal islam explores issues facing the housing sector. as the cost of living squeeze from energy and food costs starts to settle, there is no such luck with housing. mortgage and rental costs are still rising — the latter by record amounts. this is a long—term issue — basic supply and demand — as you can see at this new housing development in warwickshire. many of these new homes are going forjust over £300,000. that's bang on the average house price in this country. and we can see how that's changed over the past three decades or so — no surprise to see that line going up and up. what has changed has been the relationship with affordability. back in the late �*90s, five years�* worth of annual average income was more than the average house price. now, it's crossed over, the gap is massive and looks very difficult to bridge. it's all about house—building. successive governments over years, over decades, have made big promises on house—building, often not met. this is what's happened for england, over the past ten years, broken down per three—month quarter. a similar pattern across the united kingdom. the conservatives made a promise in 2017, a manifesto commitment in 2019, to meet a target of 300,000 homes per year by the mid—2020s, so that's about 75,000 a quarter. and then there's planning. yes, so, planning permission has therefore been refused. up and down the country, in lengthy councillors�* meetings just like these, now recorded on council websites... applause. ..there are the familiar sight and sound of new homes not being built, planning permission refused repeatedly. the two main parties do differ here. labour says it's willing to build on specific areas of the green belt that are not so green they call the grey belt. ultimately, both for buying and renting, supply not responding to demand means higher housing costs, the most enduring aspect of the cost of living crisis. more news on openai, it has appointed its first chief financial officer. sarah friar was formerly the ceo of social media firm nextdoor. the company also named a new chief product officer on monday. and that's it for this edition of business today. thanks for watching. hello and welcome to sportsday with me marc edwards. bringing you the action from day four of the european athletics in rome. teams from across europe begin to arrive in germany ahead of euro 202a. south africa squeeze past bangladesh in four runs in a final over thriller in the t20 world cup. hello and welcome to sports day with less than seven weeks ago until the olympics, some contenders have been an action ahead of the global extravaganza in paris. our reporter natalie pirks rounds up reporter natalie pirks rounds up the stories from the italian capital. up the stories from the italian caital. �* ., , _ capital. another busy night environment _ capital. another busy night environment with - capital. another busy night environment with yet - capital. another busy night i environment with yet another gold for host italy to keep them on top of the metal table. on a british point of view, there were two medals, a silver for charlie dobson in the men's from a hundred metre and a bronze in the women's pole vault finals. charlie, another personal best in what was a fantastic season so far. that he was over the moon could not be happier to take silver

google. but experts say this could herald in a new frontier for the technology. i have been speaking tojulie ask, an independent technology analyst. a few things stood out from the conference for me. first, with the announcement from apple that they are going to imbed generative ai into so many of their device applications and experiences offered to consumers, they remind us with most of the valley with large language value is still at the application layer. they also remind us that generative ai isjust one portion of the experience. consumers do not go out and buy generative ai, they buy or invest in experiences which generative ai can make better. the third thing they remind us with this entry to the market is having access and owning a relationship with the consumers is essential for any kind of success and today apple has over two billion devices installed. where do you see the company now in the ai race, still playing catch—up? i would say yes and no. i do not believe apple is late to the ai race, it is later than expected to incorporate ai into its experience but apple has advantages other companies do not. the first is when it comes to consumer personal contacts is so important and apple may have more context than any other entity. at the first iphone launch they had 16 native apps now it has at least 30 including my health information, my banking, my fitness, my e—mail, maps, my shopping, all the things that i do. so when we think about the usefulness of generative ai at a personal level, it is one thing to ask the internet, what is the best pizza to eat, it's a different thing to ask someone who knows me well. so i would say that is one of the first points. going further down the list, it certainly reminds us of privacy matters and apple is good at that. consumers do not buy technology, they invest in utilities and entertainment. consumers also would use a lot of interfaces, this is not about chatgpt or a verbal interface with an application, generative ai will do things like create and analyse so apple is really showcasing the broad set of use cases in the way that generative ai can upgrade experiences. tesla ceo elon musk has reacted to apple's announcements. he says apple devices will be banned from his companies if it integrates openai at an operating system level. in a post on his social media platform x, he said allowing the devices would be an "unacceptable security violation". mr musk was one of the founders of openai in 2015. but he has since sued the company for allegedly deviating from its non—profit mission. turning to china, that makes most of the world's electric cars and ev batteries. a flagging economy has driven some chinese carmakers to expand overseas. but with cheaper chinese evs flooding the global market, the us has imposed tariffs on the vehicles. and the european union is widely expected to follow suit. hans greimel from automotive news gave us a sense of what's at stake. the us as you have just mentioned has a 100% tariff on exports from china and the eu is about to follow suit, although the import tariff rate is not expected to be as high. it is probably going to be around io%—25%. that will probably be more than enough to offset the, or to out cost the cost of exporting from china to the eu in terms of logistics and shipping. so that basically would reconfigure the cost equation that chinese auto—makers face. given the influx of cheaper alternatives to chinese evs something widely reported and talked about, what can china do in the current scenario? probably one immediate impact you will see is a shift perhaps from exporting from china to the eu, instead they will now consider building more factories in the eu, to build locally and that would be one way that the chinese will probably try to get around the idea of doing that. you see this already happening with volvo. volvo was exporting some vehicles from china back to the eu. now they are thinking about re—shoring, if you will, putting some of the factory capacity back in europe to feed the local market. over in the us, a senate panel is expanding a probe into bmw over its use of components from a banned chinese supplier. senator ron wyden found last month that the german carmaker imported at least 8000 mini coopers into the united states, which contained parts from the chinese supplier. he is now inquiring whether the parts were found in any other bmw products. bmw did not immediately respond to a request for comment. intel has paused plans to construct a 25 billion dollar factory in israel, according to calcalist, an israeli financial news website. responding to the report, intel told the bbc that the industry often needs to adapt to changing timelines. the firm said its decisions are based on "business conditions, market dynamics and responsible capital management". it had received a grant for the factory from the israeli government in december amid the war in gaza. lack of affordable housing is a big issue across much of the world and with an election imminent in the uk, the subject has never been more important. the uk has the highest housing costs in the english—speaking world. on average more than a quarter of disposable income is spent on housing. the bbc�*s economics editor faisal islam explores issues facing the housing sector. as the cost of living squeeze from energy and food costs starts to settle, there is no such luck with housing. mortgage and rental costs are still rising — the latter by record amounts. this is a long—term issue, basic supply and demand. as you can see at this new housing development in warwickshire. many of these new homes are going forjust over £300,000. that's bang on the average house price in this country. and we can see how that's changed over the past three decades or so — no surprise to see that line going up and up. what has changed has been the relationship with affordability. back in the late �*90s, five years�* worth of annual average income was more than the average house price. now, it's crossed over, the gap is massive and looks very difficult to bridge. it's all about house—building. successive governments over years, over decades, have made big promises on house—building, often not met. this is what's happened for england, over the past ten years, broken down per three—month quarter. a similar pattern across the united kingdom. the financial crisis, the pandemic, rising interest rates and inflation all can be blamed, but mass house—building has only historically been done when government funds it, and the parties seem to agree there isn't the money. in the �*60s, local authorities were building a lot of social housing, and that has died down in the �*90s, and without this push, we can never get enough new builds. and then there's planning. yes, so, planning permission has therefore been refused. up and down the country, in lengthy councillors�* meetings just like these, now recorded on council websites... applause. ..there are the familiar sight and sound of new homes not being built, planning permission refused repeatedly. the two main parties do differ here. labour says it's willing to build on specific areas of the green belt that are not so green they call the grey belt. ultimately, both for buying and renting, supply not responding to demand means higher housing costs, the most enduring aspect of the cost of living crisis. before we go, more news on openai. it has appointed its first chief financial officer. sarah friar was formerly the ceo of social media firm nextdoor. the company also named a new chief product officer on monday. and that's it for this edition of business today. thanks for watching. hello and

misinterpreted while real madrid say they'll play "with pride and with the utmost enthusiasm". our chief football news reporter simon stone has more he gave an interview in italy in which he said that real madrid would have 12 european clubs do to play in the club world cup at the end of the 24—25 season would not be participating in it because basically, they had not been offered to play in it. i spoke to the european clubs association not long after her and said they did not understand where the comments had come from, 11 of the european clubs apart from real madrid who are competing in america next year are in the eca and as far as they were concerned, they were all competing and they did not understand the comment. then real madrid put a statement out in which they said that they had never spoken about not playing in the competition and that as far as they were concerned, they would be involved and then a few moments after that, and szilagyi himself put a statement out saying, his comments had not been interpreted the way they thought he would be. i'm not sure what he thought the interpretation would be putting on them but that is what he said so real madrid along with the 11 other european clubs will be playing in the club world cup at the end of next season. the t20 world cup now. bangladesh came close to a surprise victory. bangladesh's bowlers putting on a superb

day and now i know i can say i am world number one, it means a lot to me. it took some time, that is for sure. but it was a very nice feeling. the meaning of world number one i think is the biggest meaning we have in our sport. it is the best number you can have and as a set already, this is everyone's dream to be in this position and obviously it is an important grand slam and masters event and to be number one in the world is an achievement, what you build in one year time and now obviously we see how much you can stay there. that's all the time we have for now. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello there. for most of us, it has been a disappointing start to the week in terms of the weather. a frequent rash of showers, particularly across scotland. gusts of winds coming from the north and in excess of 30 mile an hour at times. temperatures struggled to get into double figures, but it was a slightly different story further south and west. just look at anglesey, beautiful afternoon, lots of sunshine and temperatures peaked at around 18 or 19 degrees. high pressure is continuing to nudge its way in from the west. so west will be best through the course of tuesday. there's still likely to be a few showers around, but hopefully few and further between. most frequent showers certainly are going to be across eastern scotland and down through eastern england. so sunny spells and scattered showers going into the afternoon. that will have an impact with the temperature 14 or 15 degrees. but again, with a little more shelter, a little more sunshine, 17 or 18 celsius, not out of the question. a few scattered showers moving their way through northern ireland and scotland. hopefully some of these will ease through the afternoon, but you can see those temperatures still really struggling, ten to 15 degrees at the very best. now, as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this little ridge of high pressure will continue to kill off the showers. so wednesday is likely to be the driest day of the week and make the most of it, there's more rain to come, but it will be a pretty chilly start once again to wednesday morning. single figures right across the country, low single figures in rural spots. but hopefully the showers should be a little bit few and further between and more favoured spots for those showers once again to the east of the pennines. more sunshine out to the west. temperatures generally similar values to what we've seen all week, 10 to 18 degrees the high. but the wind direction will start to change as we move into thursday. unfortunately, towards the end of the week, this low pressure will take over. we'll see further spells of rain at times, some of it heavy. but the wind direction will play its part a little. a south—westerly wind means that we will see temperatures climbing a degree or so. don't expect anything too significant because we've got the cloud and the rain around. but it's not out of the question that across eastern and southeast england we could see highs of 20 celsius. take care. live from washington, this is bbc news. the un security council backs a gaza ceasefire proposal, as us secretary of state blinken makes a diplomatic push in the middle east. the far right advances in the european union's elections, prompting fresh questions about europe's future. and jury deliberations begin in the gun trial of the us president's son, hunter biden.

fighting, after eight months of war. the resolution urges both hamas and israel to fully and quickly implement the three—phase plan. 14 countries voted in favour, and russia abstained. reactions to the resolution between the two parties have been mixed. hamas says it welcomes the endorsement, and that it's ready to work with mediators. a senior israeli diplomat said her country would continue to pursue its objectives. us ambassador to the un linda thomas—greenfield says the resolution shows hamas that the international community is united. colleagues, today this council sent a clear message to hamas. "accept the ceasefire deal on the table." israel has already agreed to this deal and the fighting could stop today, if hamas would do the same. i repeat, the fighting could stop today.

cleared when it mattered to win gold. the fastest time from anyone in the world this year. adeleke set a new personal best to come second. day 5 is the penultimate day and we have the women's 200 metre final. there is the women's 10,000 metres and women's and men's a00m hurdles and it means this crowd will get a chance to see a bona fide star, the world and olympic champion from norway karsten warholm. as natalie just mentioned, charlie dobson winning a silver medalfor britain in the men's a00m to gain his first major individual medal. this is what he had to say afterwards. i could not be
