hello again. just two days ago pep guardiola said manchester city were playing well enough to win a unprecedented fourth premier league title in a row. now though he says his team are struggling. and if they are to win the league again, they'll have to do it from fourth, after losing 1—0 at aston villa. it was the manner of the defeat that perhaps was the most notable thing. erling haaland's two efforts in the first half were the only shots on goal city had all game. villa dominated throughout with leon bailey providing the winner, as they went above the champions into third. it leaves city six points off leaders arsenal. it is my duty, myjob to find a way to combat the situation because many years together we were able to find

last night at fulham, where the club's fans gave him a reception cooper said he didn't where the club's fans gave him a reception cooper said he didn't deserve amid newspaper reports he might soon be sacked by the club. but this morning he wouldn't entertain that prospect, saying it's not a good way to think. of course there is going to be a lot of questions and stories and whatever else said and rightly so and i respect that and that is the life of a manager and i don't think it should be any other way, but at the same time, you have to stay honedin the same time, you have to stay honed in on your day's work, where you are at in terms of the preparation for the next game which is saturday and really if i let anything else creep into my thought then that means i am not giving 100% to thejob and then that means i am not giving 100% to the job and that's exactly what i want to do. anti—doping prosecutors in italy have requested a maximum four—year ban forjuventus midfielder paul pogba after he tested positive for testosterone. pogba decided not to make a plea bargain with the country's anti—doping agency, so the case will now go to trial. four—year bans are standard but can be reduced if an athlete can prove their doping was not intentional or if they provide "substantial

assistance" to help investigators. pogba, who's now 30, has made no public comments on the case since he tested positive after a game in august. the bbc will show england's first two games at euro 2024 against serbia and denmark, as well as two of scotland's group matches. the opening match at next summer's tournament in germany between the hosts and scotland will be on itv as the two broadcasters announce how they've split the fixtures. itv will also show england's third game against slovenia, while the bbc have scotland's matches with switzerland and hungary as well as first choice for the quarterfinals. itv will have the first pick of the last—16 ties and semifinals. the 2023 big bash has begun with brisbane heat producing a commanding display to beat melbourne stars by 103 runs. colin munro's unbeaten 99 helped heat, who narrowly missed out on the big bash title last season, set their opponents 215 to win. it proved too much for stars at the gabba, as their wickets fell rapidly. mitchell swepson's dismissal of olly stone saw the stars

1:40 pm
ntando mahlangu! a name you may not have heard of, but this south african athlete is training for his third paralympics, and he's only 21 years old with gold medals and world records already, unlike so many british athletes who leave to train in warmer climates at this time of year. ntando has done the opposite and moved to loughborough. but why? i've had my fair share of summer, i think. you know, even my coach worries a lot when i when i train outside without a jacket on. i think, i love the cold a bit. it's a new scene for me. the most important thing for me to come provides opportunities. you come from south africa, you're the best, so you don't have really that competition that you know. so then when you get to the world stage and you actually have people that are better than you now,
1:41 pm
you know, you have to approach the race in a certain way. ntando was born with a condition meaning the bones in his legs did not develop as they should, significantly reducing his mobility. at only ten years old, he had a big decision to make. the doctor said, do you want to amputate your legs? and i said, yes. and we took the decision on that because it was becoming a problem for me to move around. after i amputated my legs, i then realised that actually ijust lost a part of me. so it was quite an emotional, emotional hurdle that i had to overcome. when i got my prosthetic legs, i started gaining the confidence. you know, i was invited to come to a fun run and i quite enjoyed it, hearing the wind whistle in my ear. and i knew that day that, you know, this is the sport that i that i associate myself. as you're fully warmed up, as you're fully warmed up... to continue to stay on top, ntando needs more than what the profile of para sport in south africa can offer him. the uk, however, can provide him opportunities and high

performance facilities, and loughborough university's athletics coachjohn mcdonnell is eager to support him. i don't see disability, i see ability. - ntando's an incredibly talented athlete. - i was probably more excited i than anybody else at the time he said he was going| to come and train us. and it'sjust, he's quite calm. rarways think. — i've got a really talented athlete. if i give them some technical input, they kind of do it once or twice - and they get it and then they look like they've been doing _ it all their lives. and ntando does that. i've broken world records, so for me it's no longer about myself. it's something bigger now. it's about other people. it's about giving other people opportunities. it's about putting a smile on other people, you know? it's no longer about ntando mahlangu. i've ticked all my boxes, but now it's about passing on the baton to the next one. he's notjust a sprinter. in paris 2024, he's going for gold in the long jump. but whatever the event, ntando mahlangu is a name you'll be hearing a lot more of in the future. you can get all the latest sports news on the bbc
1:43 pm
sport website and app, but from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye for now. you're watching bbc news, some breaking news. first some breaking news on itv and phillip schofield. the external review into the network's handling of a relationship between the then this morning presenter and a younger colleague has been published. the review, which started in may, was led by a barrister. it says itv made "considerable efforts" to find out the truth about an alleged relationship between phillip schofield and a runner on this morning in 2019 but was "unable to uncover the relevant evidence" until schofield's admission in late may. it goes on to say that phillip schofield "reluctantly declined" to take part in an external review into the circumstances surrounding his departure from itv
1:44 pm
because of "the risk to his health. the kc who led the review, jane mulcahy, added that she has been informed schofield's mental health has since deteriorated. the former this morning presenter left the network in may after he admitted lying about the affair. itv previously said it had investigated in 2020, but that both parties repeatedly denied the relationship. phillip schofield resigned and was dropped by his talent agency after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male itv colleague. the breaking news from itv that they have published that review into the itv and phillip schofield situation and see despite making considerable efforts to find out the truth about

an alleged relationship, they say they were unable to uncover the relevant evidence and go on to say that phillip schofield reluctantly declined to take part in that review, more on that later on bbc news. more now on the news that an inquest has ruled that an ofsted inspection is likely to have contributed to the suicide of the headteacher ruth perry earlier this year. ruth, who was 53, took her own life while waiting for the report to be published. the senior coroner, heidi connor, said the inspection "lacked fairness, respect and sensitivity" , and at times was rude and intimidating. mrs perry's death led to debates about how school inspections in england should be carried out. in the last half hour, we heard from julia walters, ruth perry 5 sister. ruth was a head teacher and also a wife, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a dearfriend to so many
