english premier league match. nacer chadli's stunning free kick just after the hour mark had put tony pulis‘s side ahead before the algerian mahrez‘s strike with ten minutes remaining brought the sides level, although leicester still remain in the relegation zone and without a win in six premier league games. i think when you have as much possession as we did and then to go a goal down, you're always a bit obviously worried in terms of how it affects the players. i have to say we changed the shape and to a man they went about it and probably put they went about it and probably put the game at risk a bit too much for my liking, but also we showed the spirit that we've got and the resilience and also i think we deserved the goal. when we scored the goal actually i thought we became more comfortable and really disappointed we conceded the goal. but every game in this league is a tough game and, like i said, isaid

league is a tough game and, like i said, i said it before the game, look at leicester's bench and the players they've got on their bench, i'io players they've got on their bench, no matter the starting xi, every team outside that top six, there's not a lot between them and everybody's strong. it's a real, real tough league and every game unless you're right on it, you're not going to get what you deserve. in spain's primera division celta vigo have moved up two places to 10th after an iago aspas hat—trick helped his side to a comfortable 5—2 win over las palmas in the canary islands. it was aspas's 250th appearance for celta vigo and the victory came after goalkeeper ruben blanco was dismissed with more than half an hour remaining. and in italy's serie a, hellas verona have moved out of the relegation zone and up to 16th after romulo's goal proved the difference against benevento, who remain bottom of the table having lost all eight matches this season, scoring just twice and conceding i9. real madrid head coach zinedine zidane sees his european champions take on tottenham at the bernabeu on tuesday. zidane described harry kane as the complete player before

the two sides meet in group h of the champions league. the england international has scored 43 goals in 38 games for club and country in 2017 and zidane was asked if he could see kane as a real player one day. translation: well, i don't know what will be of kane's future but i can talk about the present. he's a fundamental player for tottenham, he's very good at everything and what he does is score goals. he's not a static player, he always finds space and he's quick. he's a com plete space and he's quick. he's a complete player, he doesn't seem it but in the end he is. manchester city boss pep guardiola is looking forward to meeting the serie a leaders napoli. he's dismissed suggestions that the italian club could rest key players and claimed he could name napoli's starting 11. city themselves are in fine form following their 7—2 thrashing of stoke city on the weekend leaving

them top of the english premier league. napoli's outspoken president aurelio de laurentiis recently claimed the italian side would consider resting players with one eye on a crucial match against domestic rivals inter this weekend. here's what the city boss had to say about that. i believe him, absolutely not. but he's travelling this afternoon in the same plane or maybe tomorrow in the same plane or maybe tomorrow in the private jet, i the same plane or maybe tomorrow in the privatejet, i don't know, but you can ask him if he's going to play. but in the last few games i think they've played the same lineup. ican think they've played the same lineup. i can announce you the players that are going to play tomorrow napoli against us. this is what league of ireland football club cork city's ground looks like after storm ophelia blew the roof off one of the stands at their turners cross ground. the team are due to play derry city at home on tuesday night, with cork needing just a point to clinch the title. parts of the roof were blown into surrounding gardens but the club has announced the game will go ahead as scheduled.

anthonyjoshua will defend his ibf and wba heavyweight world titles against carlos takam after kubrat pulev withdrew through injury. the bout is scheduled for the 28th of october at cardiff's principality stadium, with more than 70,000 tickets already sold. it will be joshua's first fight since stopping wladimir klitschko at wembley stadium in april england's cricketers fly to australia later this month for their biggest challenge, the ashes. the team will rely heavily on one of their most consistent and talented players, jonny bairstow. in his life, jonny‘s already overcome a challenge that few of us could imagine, dealing with the suicide of his father, when he was just a boy. he's been speaking to our sports correspondent, joe wilson. johnny bairstow is a world—class cricketer. for england he is a central, a rock, a batsmen and wicket—keeper, just like his father. david plese for england too and the link between son and father is unmistakable. that's a brilliant

catch by ba i rstow. unmistakable. that's a brilliant catch by bairstow. david bairstow played cricket for yorkshire for 20 yea rs played cricket for yorkshire for 20 years but he never saw played cricket for yorkshire for 20 years but he never sanohnny grow up. when johnny bairstow years but he never sanohnny grow up. whenjohnny bairstow was eight he returned one evening with his mother and sister to discover that his father had taken his own life in the family house. me and my sister we re the family house. me and my sister were both very, very young and in some ways, yes, were both very, very young and in some ways, yes, you do remember everything that went on because you will remember that. but at the same time there's bits of it that you choose not to remember, that you choose not to remember, that you choose to park. like i mentioned in the book, there's no reason to be angry for many years or anything like that. the comparisons with his father were inevitable once he became a cricketer, he only of ever imagined a career in sports. he's tried to stop asking questions about why his father took his own life but it's clear as he dealt with retirement, his wife's illness, david struggled with emotional pain he couldn't express. almost that

it's not culturally allowed to talk about emotional feelings and depression or whatever it might be, do you feel that's changed in your world in your experience as a sportsman? has that culture changed? i think there's a different view on it now definitely. i think there's obviously sports psychologists, yeah, doctors now, they'll see different things. but there's still not a single thing that you can say, right, you've got depression, because there's so many different aspects of it. you've got mental health issues, you've got anxiety, you've got this that and the other, you've got this that and the other, you can't say, right, you've got a snotty nose, you've got a cold, that's easy. i wonder if reading that's easy. i wonder if reading that book and maybe you don't like hearing you talk about it might make somebody think twice about taking in their own life. what do you think about that? if that could be a result from you writing about this and talking about it? it potentially

could do. everyone's going to react ina could do. everyone's going to react in a different way. people have had setbacks from early on in their lives then there's no reason why you can't go on and still succeed. you talk in the book about how your dad would be proud of you and what you've done in cricketing, of course he would, but i also reckon he would be proud of you in the way you've talked about this and dull with it in the book i think. who knows but i think... i hope so, i hope he would be proud of the way becky and i have turned out. thanks very much for your time. cheers. pakistan have beaten sri lanka by 32 runs in abu dhabi to take a 2—0 lead in their best of five one day international series. the hosts won the toss and elected to bat with babar azam notching a century and shadab khan's unbeaten 50 rescuing their innings while in response a middle order collapse for sri lanka when they lost five wickets for just 23 runs helped seal their fate with only skipper upul tharanga's unbeaten century providing any real resistance. the third match will be played at the same venue on wednesday. the nba season tips off

on tuesday with the champions golden state warriors at home to the houston rockets as they bid for a third title in four seasons. steph curry will feature in california as his franchise looks to become one ofjust a handful of teams to reach at least four consecutive finals. boston did it in the 1960s, and again along with the lakers in the 1980s, and miami achieved it from 2011 thru to 2014. it's tough to repeat. so the motivation comes from within. our quys motivation comes from within. our guys are motivation comes from within. our guys are very motivated, very competitive. for me it's more about pacing, pacing the guys. there are going to be times when we're lacking motivation and guys don't have energy, that's why we rely on our bench so much and that's why i have to figure it out and we have to figure it out as a staff, what are we going to do to either motivate them or get them to chill a little bit, because it's a long season. the talking point in cleveland has

been whether lebronjames will feature for the cavaliers on the opening night against the boston celtics, having sprained his left ankle more than two weeks ago. the 32—year—old, who's a three—time nba champion, has never missed a season opener. interesting nba season ahead indeed. that's all we've got time for on this edition of sport today. you can get all the latest sports news at our website, that's bbc.com/sport. or you oryou can or you can look at the leicester city draw with west bromwich albion. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. well, it's certainly been a very dramatic period on the weather front and the remnants of hurricane ophelia still barrelling across the uk. but the worst of the winds affected the south of ireland. our friends there experienced winds gusting up to nearly 100 miles an hour that even here in the uk, we had winds in excess of 70,

80 and even 90 mph. here's the ex—hurricane, what's left over. still very powerful winds. the core of that storm with some of the gale force winds blowing through the irish sea will still be moving across northern ireland, scotland and northern england during the course of tuesday morning. that nasty low still with us over the next few hours before it pulls out into the north sea and eventually the remnants of that into norway. travel disruption is still very much a possibility first thing on tuesday morning. particularly around the pennines, the north—east of england through the lowlands of scotland. we could get gusts of 60 to 70 mph. this is the scene around 5am. to the south, a different story, winds are much, much lighter. through the morning, very quickly the winds will ease. for most of us, in terms

of the weather over all, not a bad day. certainly by the time we get to the afternoon, just a scattering of showers here and there. wales and the midlands getting some sunshine. hazy sunshine in east anglia and the south—east and we still have some rain. a rogue weather front may bring some rain towards cornwall and devon and the west country. some of us mid—week will have some rain, from wales to northern england, the east coast to the north—west. to the south, maybe just a couple of showers. on balance, be prepared for a wet day in the north of the country on wednesday. still mild in the south mid—week. 18 degrees in london. fresher in the north of the country. the summary, stormy start first thing on tuesday and then quieter mid—week then it could turn stormy again. a reminder of some spectacular orange skies we have seen across the uk thanks to hurricane ophelia drawing up some smoke particles from

spain and portugal, from the wildfires there. also we've had some saharan dust in the atmosphere as well. here's a picture from the bbc earlier on. bye— bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: thousands of civilians flee the iraqi city of kirkuk after the goverment‘s army seizes control from kurdish forces. well, we've suddenly had to pull back. there was a sustained outburst of gunfire at the position up ahead. we can't be sure where it came from. a journalist who investigated corruption amongst politicians, officials and business people is killed by a car bomb in malta. three days of national mourning in portugal after at least 35 people are killed in deadly forest fires. and watching over the waves, shark—detecting drones take to the skies in australia to try and make surfing safer.
