6:33 pm
but first lets hear from the man himself. it is not a great feeling when you get a puncture because you are so far behind. you never catch up. u nless far behind. you never catch up. unless there is a safety car. but i was, like, know unless there is a safety car. but i was, like, - know what? people support me. even have come here to support me. even though i am in no man's land by will give it all. i want to make sure that i put myself, my skills to the test. every single one, that's what i tried to do. i dream big. i think that's a great thing for people to dream big. it doesn't mean you can't achieve that. it doesn't mean it is impossible to reach it. but the bigger you dream the bigger, the steeper the mountain you have to climb, and anything is possible. i'm here. i've won my fourth title. it's ha rd to here. i've won my fourth title. it's hard to believe it has happened. i
6:34 pm
was always grateful after my first. then the second came, the third came... then how i still had this sheer willpower to continue after a lot of the success we had. i felt a bigger, burning desire this year to win the championship. particularly as we are fighting another team. and i had as we are fighting another team. and ihada as we are fighting another team. and i had a difficult year last year. i was adamant i was going to better myself mentally, physically, and how i work with my aptitude, and how i work with my aptitude, and how i work with everyone, so myself with everyone, so i could put myself in the position| am in today. i in the position i am in today. i feel amazing. i've got a lot of love around me. my mum was here this weekend. i've got so many messages on my phone. it'll take me weeks to get back to everybody who has sent me messages. i really do appreciate all of the love and support i have. sojust how good is lewis hamilton? well — he's won the world title four times now. that's more that any other british driver. sirjackie stewart is next with three. hamilton is now level with sebastian vettel, who wasn't able to compete with him
6:35 pm
in his ferrari this season despite arguably having a more powerful car. he's also level with alain prost. onlyjuan fangio with five wins and michael schumacher with seven, have won more world titles. for a long time it seemed as though no—one would ever get near schumacher‘s record of 91 grand prix victories, but hamilton is second on the list with 62, ahead of great names like prost, vettel, senna and alonso. hamilton has won a0 races in the last four years. hamilton already holds the all—time record for pole positions, broken at this year's italian grand prix. at 72 and counting, who knows where that figure will stand by the end of his career? of course — stats don't tell the whole story.
6:36 pm
but over the season hamilton appeared calmer, more consistent and more reliable than his rivals he is unbelievably competitive. he's probably the fastest guy over one lap who has given a formula 1 car. lewis has seen the potential of being with the best support team. he is delivering. i look at him as an individual, a driver, he probably has more natural ability than anybody else. i have a lot of respect for him. his first world championship was very almost a premature one, but he has learnt so much. and he has developed so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving 1e has developed so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving for ias developed so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving for a 5 developed so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving for a team aloped so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving for a team that d so well. premature one, but he has learnt so muc driving for a team that is so well. into driving for a team that is almost unbeatable, mercedes—benz, the might of mercedes, with all of the might of mercedes, with all of the money, all of the big sponsors, and so forth. he has had to drive well. as he has developed he now is threading the needle more easily to
6:37 pm
achieve victory. last year was a yeari achieve victory. last year was a year i feel that he has a driver was great. he got everything together. he didn't make any mistakes. but he had a lot of liability issues, which cost in the championship. —— reliability issues. he's had luck on his side this year than in previous yea rs. his side this year than in previous years. he deserves it. four world championships. it's crazy. as soon as you get into that, you are looking at the stats, i think he is equal with prost. he looking at the stats, i think he is equalwith prost. he will beat looking at the stats, i think he is equal with prost. he will beat my record. but i think i've held at 443 years. records are made to be. it's another three years in the sport. seven championships. i don't think anybody thought anybody would beat that. but things are so competitive 110w. that. but things are so competitive now. i - that that. but things are so competitive now. i. that we have ferrari now. i like that we have ferrari challenging. it is so good for the sport. i'm sure lewis likes it, as
6:38 pm
well. not just racing sport. i'm sure lewis likes it, as well. notjust racing his team—mates. well. notjust racing his team-mates. he has been in a very good team with a very good package. nevertheless, at the end of the day, you've got to drive the car, you got to bring it to the finishing line. what an achievement for lewis hamilton. onto football... england's under—17's have returned from india following their world cup success, with lots of silverware. they came from 2—0 down in the final in kolkata to beat spain 5—2 on saturday. our sports news correspondent richard conway went to meet them at heathrow airport. we thought as the tournament went on, we looks like we got stronger and stronger. we improved that. all scorelines got bigger. beating spain in the final, that's an amazing feeling. i think he will say the same, to be honest. yes, everybody had the confidence we could win it from day one. we showed that, really. the goals.
6:39 pm
from day one. we showed that, really. the be. 5. from day one. we showed that, really. - the be. talking about from day one. we showed that, really. - the be. talki‘ clubs, it getting the chance with your clubs, the chance to perform, how important is it that you get those games?m is it that you get those games?m is important. i'm hopeful that it gives you the chance to improve. hopefully i will take it. that is what i am looking forward to do.“ it the same for you? we are both stilljust17. we've got it the same for you? we are both stilljust 17. we've got a it the same for you? we are both stilljust17. we've got a lot to learn. hopefully we can get minutes. under 17 level at the moment, is the dream to do it at senior level one day? yes. to bring the world cup back to england at senior level. the future is bright now. the under 20s winning the world cup. credit to the generation, they really are. they've been away for 35 days. the bond between them and the staff, we are all as one, has been incredible, really. it's been a privilege and an
6:40 pm
honour to be at a world cup. such a long time away from home, a different side of the world, completely different climates and culture. they take everything completely different climates and cultl‘ stride. (take everything completely different climates and cultl‘ stride. theye everything completely different climates and cultl‘ stride. they thrive thing completely different climates and cultl‘ stride. they thrive in ng completely different climates and cultl‘ stride. they thrive in the their stride. they thrive in the opportunity and they got their reward. what would be your message to their clubs as they come back home as world cup winners? we just have to keep doing what we are doing at youth level. we really want to focus on the controller balls, which is the training and the games. this is the training and the games. this is great recognition for the talent. if we keep doing what we are doing i am sure there will be more opportunities in the future. so a wonderful achievement for the england under 17's to match the world cup success of the under 20's and the under 19s who became european champions. but the same old question remains: can this success translate to the senior team? paul mcguinness has been appointed to a new role within the fa, trying to develop coaches, and he thinks that young english players can thrive, despite limited opportunities in the premier league.
6:41 pm
success with the youth teams, you know, gareth southgate will be looking at it thinking can i bring some young players along, or actually put a couple in the squad? because they are on a roll. if we put them in they may well do well. it is the purest youth development. you cannot sign a foreign player to get in the way. gareth southgate isn't just sat with the first—team. he can look at all the teams. he will be getting progress reports from all the coaches. it'll be a point of, well, this one is good enough. we always did that at club level. i would say to sir alex, you need to look at him now. if he did well he would go into the team. that's the process. i think that is what they are aiming to do here. train that club atmosphere. michael o'neill has named a squad of 27 for northern ireland's world cup play—off matches against switzerland next month. nottingham forest's jamie ward is back after missing most
6:42 pm
of their qualifying campaign with a calf problem. aaron hughes is available after misisng the last two qualifiers and sunderland's paddy mcnair is also back in the fold after 11 months out with a cruciate injury. the first—leg against the swiss is on nine november with the return match in basel three days later. malky mackay has named eight uncapped players for his first squad as interim scotland manager. ryan christie, paul hanlon, jason cummings and ryanjack have been called up for the friendly against the netherlands on the 9th of november at pittodrie. england, scotland, wales and northern ireland will all request permission from fifa to wear poppies during their matches next month. the request comes after the law was changed last month, allowing the home nations to wear a poppy if opposing teams and the competition organiser agree to it. all four nations were fined for displaying poppies during games last year. there's one match in the premier league tonight.
6:43 pm
burnley host newcastle at turf moor. sean dyche celebrates five years in charge of burnley today, making him the third longest—serving manager in the premier league. behind only arsenal's arsene wenger and bournemouth‘s eddie howe. dyche's success has led to his name being linked to other clubs, such as everton who are looking for a new permanent manager. i mentioned last week different links with different clubs have come around. flattened by the fact that what we all do is recognised. there are stories. it isn't mine. it is right i get asked about it. yet again another good club. i am respectful of all clubs and all situations. but i'm equally respectful of my situation here. they are doing well in the premier league. you need the experience —— and you have the experience you need to know what is going on in that amount of time. we were talking about the last year when we were in
6:44 pm
the championship. it's true that they now have this experience in the premier league. that means they have an advantage at doing well. can you go to another team and do well? i think so. i think he has proven that he can do it. well newcastle united are currently for sale. a little earlier our presenter olly foster spoke to shay given, who spent 12 years at the club. he has written at length about the stewardship of mike ashley in his autobiography. ashley has owned the club for over ten years and given believes it's important that when he sells its to someone who's willing to build the club. it's a great club to play football. i was there nearly 12 years of my life. the fans are just crying out for success. i think mike ashley, the club is for sale right now, and he wants its old. i think the fans wa nt he wants its old. i think the fans want it sold. they want new investment. —— you want it sold. they have things right with rafa benitez on the football side of things. if he can get support back, he can get the club challenging
6:45 pm
again, no doubt at the top of the league. is it a case for the fans anybody but mike ashley?” league. is it a case for the fans anybody but mike ashley? i don't think so. it needs to be the right investor. no point somebody with no money coming in. the infrastructure, the stadium, the training it is there, they just need the stadium, the training it is there, theyjust need the money to inject into the team. i'm not saying it's a bad team, butjust to get newcastle it's a bad team, butjust to get n ewcastle u p it's a bad team, butjust to get newcastle up and challenging for trophies, up in european competitions. they need a huge investment. it won't happen overnight. fans need to be patient. if rafa benitez is given the right backing i don't see why not. mike if rafa benitez is given the right backing i d owned e why not. mike if rafa benitez is given the right backing i d owned newcastle viike if rafa benitez is given the right backing i d owned newcastle for! if rafa benitez is given the right backing i d owned newcastle for ten ashley has owned newcastle for ten yea rs, ashley has owned newcastle for ten years, has he damaged the club?|j don't know. there has always been a feeling that he never wanted to be at the club. it seems strange because he bought the club, but he has come out and said that it is up for sale. but there has always been an underlying thing that it has
6:46 pm
a lwa ys an underlying thing that it has always been for sale. noises coming out of newcastle all the time that after a few years he didn't want the clu b after a few years he didn't want the club and was always trying to sell the club. i think the fans have had enough. they want to move the club forward. ashley wants to move aside. hopefully it will happen really soon. also coming up in the programme. a tennis match without any linejudges? hawk—eye technology could be about to take over. and we will hear from the women's cricket coach after his side battled backin cricket coach after his side battled back in the ashes. england have announced an 18 woman squad for the hockey world league finals in new zealand. the competition provides another test ahead of the hockey women's world cup in london next summer. there are four changes from august's european championships squad with erica sanders, olivia paige, grace balsdon and suzy petty all included. this team is incredibly exciting. it isa this team is incredibly exciting. it is a fantastically talented group of people. i spend is a fantastically talented group of people. ispend my is a fantastically talented group of people. i spend my entire time in
6:47 pm
training chasing after the speed, agility, just skilful players. as we move towards our league final we have new faces. a blend of youth and experience. i think what you will see is a fast, attacking, quick style of hockey. it's very exciting. this squad moving forward is really going to go places. england's women cricket coach mark robinson beleives that his sides victory over the weekend has ‘changed the mood' within the camp. england lost the first two one day matches, but their victory in new south wales has cut australia's lead in the series. the hosts lead four points to two, with england needing to secure nine points to regain the ashes. the next game is a test match worth four points starting on the ninth november. it was a good performance. there was a bit of tension around. there was a danger of us feeling sorry for ourselves. because things have not gone oui’ ourselves. because things have not gone our way. lots of disruption. we feel we've been on the wrong end of lots of things. there was a danger
6:48 pm
of starting to feel sorry for ourselves. that's a dangerous place to be. it's nice to be able to rally and change the mood of everything. there is no point turning up if you are not looking to win. you never turn up looking to draw or hang on. that's the wrong attitude. but sometimes you need to get a foothold onto the game, absorb pressure, sometimes you have to stand your corner and fight. we have to do that to launch again. that's the beauty of the long form of the game. sometimes you've just got to go head to head. against your opposition for long enough. you hope that they are wea ker long enough. you hope that they are weaker and you will get a knockout punch so you can pile on. that is the beauty of playing the long form of the game. watford striker troy deeney has been charged with violent conduct following an incident withjoe allen in his sides'1—0 defeat to stoke city on saturday. deeney had an angry exchange with allen in the dying minutes of the game at vicarage road. captain now faces a further charge by the football association. bath wing semesa rokoduguni has been

6:50 pm
next month at a tournament in milan, hawk—eye technology is coming in — which means line judges will be out. sara orchard has more. what would happen if technology took over where previously the human eye had been key. you cannot be serious! iam in had been key. you cannot be serious! i am in this incident could have been avoided because next month at a tournament in the land line umpires will be replaced by hawk—eye. instead of the players challenging for a decision we will be calling the system in real—time. as soon as the system in real—time. as soon as the ball bounces out you will hear a shout. for many the line umpires are important characters in the theatre of tennis, but the objective of losing them is to make the game fair. from players' perspective, it will allow them to focus on their game and worry less about the strategy of how many reviews they have left.
