event in texas. and world number one angelique kerber is through to the last sixteen of the miami open. hello and welcome to the programme where we start with football and there were three groups in european world cup qualifying on sunday including world champions germany. they were away to azerbaijan where they continued their impressive form making it five wins from five played in group c winning 4—1 in baku. lutz pfannenstiel was there and he told me that it wasn't quite as easy as the scoreline suggests for the germans. the first 25 minutes azerbaijan played very good football. they did not make it easy for germany and it was quite a challenge. at the end of the day, the will class of the players gave us a clear victory. the first time in eight games that germany have conceded a goal so that would be disappointing? yeah, having

that record broken now, that is something for the statistics guys but at the end of the day it had to happen at one stage. azerbaijan, they scored out of nowhere and nobody expected them to do that. when you look at it, that is 44 unbeaten games on the road for germany now. quite an effort. the quality is so deep and they are a lwa ys quality is so deep and they are always bringing new players. against teams like san marino and azerbaijan, i think they want to test the new players. the game against england, there were some testing going and i think they are on the right way now that they have gone through all the combinations. that result means that germany still only lead group c by five points after second placed northern ireland continued their solid form with a 2—0 win at home over norway while the czech republic climb to third after they put six past

san marino. england were 2—0 winners over lithuania at wembley with jermaine defoe and jamie vardy scoring the goals. 34—year—old defoe was making his first england appearance since november 2013 and picked up his 20th international goal meaning england remain unbeaten at the top of group f with four wins and a draw. security was tight at the venue after last week's events in london. andy swiss has more. the buildup to the match had been overshadowed by the terror attack in london on wednesday. there was heightened security outside the stadium including armed police flags we re stadium including armed police flags were flying at half mast and before the match there was a wreath laying ceremony in the centre circle, followed by a one—minute silence around the ground which was impeccably observed. after that a motion before the game, the match itself was relatively uneventful. england took the lead after 20

it is not often that we get the best of the weather over the weekend, but that seems to be the case this time round. on sunday, we had a temperature of 20 degrees in highland scotland, aviemore, for example. but, for many of us on sunday, the skies were not quite as blue. we had some high cloud contaminating things. now, there is some cloud coming up from nearby france, but we are also filling in the north sea with low cloud, and it is that that is heading our way right now, particularly into parts of northern england, down into the midlands and wales. still got the high pressure in charge at the moment, and it is going to be pretty chilly, despite a bit more cloud. temperatures a bit lower across the southern half of the uk, where that stronger wind has now finally relented. any frost in the north will tend to lift fairly quickly, i think, across mainland scotland. one or two mist and fog patches, perhaps, but the sunshine coming through. a little bit more cloud by morning, perhaps, in northern ireland, and a change for england and wales, where we will start off a bit grey, misty and murky across the likes of north—east england,

perhaps into the midlands and into east wales. this is the main area of low cloud, spilling in from the north sea. south of that, the odd patch of mist or low cloud, but some sunshine as well, and most of us will see the sunshine burning through that cloud. it does take a while, though, where it has moved in off the north sea, and the odd patch may linger through into the afternoon, especially across the north—east of england and south—east scotland. so here, that low cloud will peg back the temperatures. 0therwise, with some sunshine, the numbers are similar to what we had on sunday. highest temperatures again in highland scotland, and this time in the south—east of england, where we don't have that cold, easterly wind. over the week ahead, though, we are going to find more cloud arriving, and the chance of some rain, especially in the north and west of the uk. but southerly winds, mind you, so still decent temperatures by day, and it won't be as cold at night, either. but the high pressure is shrinking away into the near continent. instead there is a massive area of low pressure out in the atlantic, and that will dominate our weather, to bring with it showers or longer spells of rain.

and the first signs of rain really arrive on tuesday. a bit of a dull start, ahead of the showers moving into the south—west, wales, northern ireland, later the midlands, northern england, and eventually southern scotland. north—east scotland still rather grey and cool, with the onshore breeze. maybe one or two showers in the south—east and east anglia, but some sunshine here as well, and this is where we will see the highest temperatures, and many places will be dry. and it could be that way again on wednesday. weather fronts coming in around that big area of low pressure threaten to bring more organised rain into the western side of the uk, but ahead of it, still largely dry and warm in the south—east. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm lebo diseko. our top stories: russia's main opposition leader is arrested along with hundreds of supporters as anti—corruption protests sweep the country. we meet two young boys in a hospital in mosul as the iraqi city continues to count the cost of the fight against is. he used whatsapp then killed four people.
