have to do last season. we had a regular team, not many changes. i think especially in our back line. for a long time we had a regularformation. and that helps you. you get the routines in. we have to wait for that. until that moment, we have to deal with it. as every team has to deal with it. it is not only us. i am sure when we get back to regular basics, we will play better. we have had many amazing players over time and i feel like we're at the stage where we have big characters in the dressing room where it notjust a case of, like some other managers where it has been a bit toxic at times. the boys are behind the manager and that is the be all and end all and i have said that in many other interviews, and that is the way it will remain to stay. we have amazing coaching staff as well.

people can get lost in translation and get carried away with what the players think and what they say behind closed doors, we just want to do well for the football club and that's as simple as that. bayern munich will be looking to bounce back from their surprising 5—1 thrashing at the hands of eintracht franrkfut over the weekend. the bundesliga side have already confirmed their place as winners of group a but haven't lost a group—stage game for more than six years. their head coach thomas tuchel confirmed that harry kane will play on his return to england and was at pains to point out how happy they were with signing the former tottenham hotspur star. they are always a dangerous team. my experience is always very dangerous to play manchester united. they have a certain aura, a certain mentality that makes them always very difficult to beat. they can endure difficult phases in their matches. ifeel this is part of the dna of the club that they can overcome difficult minutes, difficult phases in a match. arsenal forwards bukayo saka and gabriel martinelli missed

training on monday but midfielder emile smith—rowe was applauded onto the field by his teammates after returning earlier than expected from a knee injury sustained in october. having confirmed their place as group winners in the knock out stages with a resounding 6—0 home win over lens. mikel arteta is likely to rotate his team as they travel to the netherlands to take on psv eindhoven. psv sit ten points clear at the top of the eredivisie and have also confirmed their place in the last—16 as group runners up. they have been extremely dominant, not only this season but last season as well. huge credit as well to their general manager, coaching staff and players. when you look at their record they have here, it is incredible. we're going to have to be really good tomorrow to beat them. nigeria striker victor osimhen has been named african footballer of the year. the 24—year—old had been the frontrunner after being voted the highest—ranked african player in the 2023

men's ballon d'or vote, finishing eighth. he scored 26 goals last season to help napoli to their first serie a title in 33 years and becomes the first nigerian to pick up the award since nwankwo kanu back in 1999. barcelona star asisat oshoala made it a night to remember for nigeria, winning the women's player of the year title for a record—extending sixth time. she retains the award she won last year. to cricket and there's a surprise inclusion in england's 16 man squad for their their test series in india injanuary. somerset�*s 20—year—old spinner, shoaib bashir, is one of three uncapped players despite only making his first class debut in the summer. but the managing director of the england cricket team, rob key, says he's a player they're keen to develop we saw him in county cricket.

the way he bowled the ball and using the potential and you try to find a little bit about his character. then we had him on the lions for myself and brendan flew out to that lions camp for about a week and a bit. we saw them and tried to put them in conditions similar to what we were going to see. and someone like bashir, you think his ceiling is really high, life is always about how good someone;s good is, not how bad their bad is. he is very raw. he is going for experience as much as anything else albeit we won't be afraid to play him if required. i think this is the start of his journey where we will see hopefully a world—class spinner in the future. and earlier we caught up with annie chaive the county cricket matters editor to hear her thoughts on bashir. he is very tall, gangly, bags of enthusiasm. a good offspinner.

and he can bat a little bit. i think basically he has got a lot of potential and that is what they are gearing up behind, really, i think. we'll stay with cricket because when derbyshire�*s anuj dal received racial abuse on social media. he turned his anger into an 18 month quest to hold his abuser to account. the all—rounder now wants others to know that there's a path to restorative justice and how the process led to him receiving a written apology from his abuser. he's been speaking to our sports correspondentjoe wilson. anuj dal is a professional cricketer. he is a vice—chair of the professional cricketers' association, and he fought abuse — with restorative justice. that was a very satisfying feeling, knowing that i'd covered all bases, and i felt as though i needed to do what i had done to be able to move on from it. it all began last spring — in the wake of azeem rafiq's racism testimony, anuj spoke to me

eloquently about the opportunity for cricket to grow. then, on social media, anuj himself was racially abused. i remember we were sat together in a team meeting ready to go and play ourfirst game at lord's, against middlesex, and i was in full cricket mode, and all of a sudden, get a notification on my phone, i look at it and think, what on earth is going on? and it was, you know, just a direct racial abusive comment, directed to me, based off the piece that i did with you. anuj was supported by the professional cricketers' association, by the police and by counsellors from restorative justice. they found the abuser, they mediated and eventually communicated a form of apology. which left me with one big question. whether you think restorative justice worked, and the key thing is whether it worked for you? absolutely. yeah, it 100% worked for me. i feel comfortable knowing that i've put him through quite

a gruelling process, and a gruesome process, to actually go through it, and i've essentially turned his life around. the police have got a marker on him, through the process, he wasn't able to leave the country. there are going to be consequences for these individuals, and hopefully now encouraging more people to say, you don't need to hide in the shadows, you don't need to do... you don't need to brush it under the carpet. there is process in place, there is support network in place. anuj dal has a new contract with derbyshire, the best years of sport ahead of him, and the certainty of knowing he won hisjustice. joe wilson, 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. tuesday is going to bring a lot of cloud and the skies will look rather like the picture behind me. on top of that, shower clouds are expected as well. some of the showers could be heavy, the odd crack of thunder and additionally it will be quite windy around south western parts of the uk, but it's going to be relatively mild first thing. now the satellite picture shows fairly clear weather as we're in between weather systems, or we were during monday. but now the clear skies are giving way to this area of low pressure, which will be moving across the uk during the course of tuesday and will continue to affect our weather at least for a time on wednesday. so the forecast then through the early hours, we will have had some rain across northern ireland, southwestern scotland, the north of england too rain elsewhere, but also one or two clear spells and really quite mild in the south.

11 degrees in plymouth, about that in london. but for the most part, it's about five to eight degrees. so certainly no frost first thing. and the forecast then for tuesday. so here's that area of low pressure as it slowly barrels across the uk. here's the weather front spiralling into the centre of the low where the winds are actually really light. so any showers that circle within this low right in the middle could last for quite some time. they'll be slow—moving, very little wind to push them around. but just to the south, around the southwestern approaches cornwall, devon, central southern england, the winds really could be quite gusty, 40, 50 mile an hour winds around coasts. on top of that, an onshore wind here around eastern scotland and the northeast of england will make things really wet and it could last right until wednesday. now, on wednesday, finally, that low pressure pulls away out towards the west, high pressure builds. and that means there'll be some sunshine, for example, in glasgow, liverpool and in cardiff. but the east coasts could stay

quite cloudy, gloomy and feel chilly in that breeze off the north sea. here's a look at thursday and into the weekend, really. eventually, all weather fronts clear, high pressure starts to build from the southwest. but there is a lot of cloud stuck in this area of high pressure. so not necessarily all that sunny. and in fact, the northwest of the uk may continue to be brushed by weather fronts coming off the atlantic. so yes, for the majority of us, the weather settles down come friday and should stay dry and bright with a bit of luck into the weekend. but the north could be wet at times. bye— bye.

live from washington, this is bbc news. ukraine's president is in washington to make the case for more support for his country's war against russia. he'll meet with president biden on tuesday. anger and disappointment at the un climate conference in dubai amid concerns over the phasing out of fossil fuels. and the texas woman at the centre of a legal battle over abortion has now left the state to have the procedure. we'll speak with her attorney. hello. i'm sumi somaskanda.

thank you forjoining us. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky is back in washington ahead of high—stakes meetings on tuesday with hopes to unlock more us aid for the war in ukraine. this is mr zelensky�*s third trip to the us since the war began. it comes as the aid package that would include funding for ukraine has stalled in congress. his first stop monday was to the international monetary fund, which announced it would disburse another $900 million under its ukraine program. mr zelensky is set to meet with leaders in the senate, the house of representatives speaker mikejohnson and president biden with a message that aid to ukraine is urgent. let me be frank with you, friends. if there is anyone inspired by unresolved issues on capitol hill, it is just putin and his sick clich. but it's not clear if that

message will resonate with republicans.
