southampton climb one place to 11th, three places above the cherries. today we were good. i thought southampton were good as well. it made for a great game. attacking teams going at it. there was no thought of any team settling for a point. it was a good effort for the premier league. we are disappointed not to hold on. but it is a much improved performance. ivan perisic fired unbeaten inter to the top of serie a on sunday with a hat—trick in a 5—0 win over chievo verona. perisic opened the san siro goal blitz after 23 minutes and added two more in the second half, while inter captain, mauro icardi, made it 16 for the season seven minutes before the break and defender milan skriniar found the net on the hour mark. luciano spalletti's inter are now the league's only unbeaten team after 15 games, after napoli lost 1—0 at home to champions, juventus, on friday. the story of the day perhaps
1:50 am
involved inter‘s city rivals, milan, when goalkeeper, alberto brignoli, snatched newcomers benevento‘s first ever serie a point deep into stoppage time to spark wild celebrations for his team and their fans after a 2—2 draw. gennaro gattuso only replaced the sacked vincenzo montella at the san siro last week and conceding that late goal leaves his side down in eighth place. they looked to be heading for victory going into the 95th minute of the match before a free kick, which was headed in by benevento‘s goalkeeper, brignoli. that secured the team's first point in the italian top division and brignoli is the first goalkeeper to score in serie a since 2001. elsewhere fiorentina beat sassuolo 3—0, bologna and cagliari drew 1—1, while a 90th—minute winner from felipe caicedo saw lazio beat sampdoria, 2—1. a big result in spain on sunday. 10—man getafe got a shock victory over second—placed valencia to leave barcelona five points clear at the top of the primera division. markel bergara's second—half strike won the day despite getafe having to play for more than an hour with ten men after mauro arambarri picked up two bookings

in the space of four minutes. translation: the roadmap will remain the same. we are waiting with a certain style of football. u nfortu nately, certain style of football. unfortunately, today, it could not be because of certain circumstances. sometimes, when you play against 10 men, it is almost more difficult. such was the case today. after the sand off it was impossible to play out kind of game. it was impossible to make any conclusions after a game like today. also on sunday eibar beat espanyol 3—1, while leganes make up ground on villarreal after they beat them by the same scoreline. in a little over two hours, day three of the second ashes test gets under way with australia in control in adelaide. when rain ended the second day's action, england were 29 for one in their first innings sill 413
1:52 am
runs behind the hosts, who declared on a42 for eight. shaun marsh made an unbeaten century. yeah, there were a few emotions. at around 90 we got a little bit nervous. just obviously extremely happy to get 100. to get 100 in an ashes is pretty special. so, england's choice to bowl first, having won the toss, looks to have been a mistake. the england coach, trevor bayliss, was asked if he and captain, joe root, regretted that decision. you would not do anything different. it is well documented, you know, one of our challenges is taking wickets on flatter wickets. joe root wanted to give our guys the best opportunity to take 20 wickets. as we have just opportunity to take 20 wickets. as we havejust said, on opportunity to take 20 wickets. as we have just said, on this occasion, it did not work out our way even
1:53 am
though i thought we bowled pretty well. confidence is a good feeling in the dressing rooms. it is not impossible to score runs. many batters made starts. it is not impossible to score runs and there isa impossible to score runs and there is a lot of time left in the game. not unusual for rain to stop play as we heard about in adelaide. but how about smog? a mix of smoke and fog caused three delays in delhi in the third and final test between india and sri lanka. the majority of the sri lankan players returned from the second day's lunch—break wearing facemasks, as the seasonal haze affecting the region thickened over the stadium. lahiru gamage and suranga lakmal both left the field at one point after finding it difficult to breathe. in scoring terms, sri lanka will resume on 131 for three in theirfirst innings. that was in reply to india's 536 for seven declared. india's captain virat kohli made 2113 his sixth double century in just over 17 months as india lead the series 1—0 and if they avoid defeat, they'll achieve a record—equalling ninth straight series win. in wellington, the west indies are facing an uphill battle to save the opening test

there were certainly enough gaps in the cloud in the first part of the night for our weather watchers to get a really good view of the night's super moon. after what had been a pretty reasonable day, especially so across parts of northern ireland, scotland, the north of england, probably the best of the sunshine here. that's not to say we start the new day with plenty of gaps around because we have weather fronts not a million miles away and there may be enough cloud for there to be the odd spot of rain across the far north of scotland, showers running through the western side of scotland and down through the irish sea. out east, bit of a concern about how dense some of the fog patches will be, not first thing, some may linger in east anglia, the south—east and central and southern england but elsewhere, a cooler not start, as you would expect for the start of the year and essentially it's a dry one. that's not the case for the north of scotland, quite breezy and wet here, especially in the northern isles. elsewhere, a speckling of showers for northern scotland and northern ireland but that's
1:56 am
the exception to essentially a dry rule, as i say, some of the fog may take time to get away from the south—eastern quarter. there may be more low cloud than i'm showing here, giving a rather grey aspect to the day. that prospect gradually drifting from west to east. if yourfog lingers, six degrees could be your high, elsewhere, eight, nine, ten. not a great deal happening during the evening, perhaps just freshening up the wind, that's a sign of things to come, especially for northern scotland, wet and windy fare here as we get on during the day on tuesday but elsewhere not a bad day, quite a quiet start to the week. notice monday and tuesday. however, we begin to change things quite markedly as we get on into wednesday. here across northern and western parts it's either wet and windy orjust for some windy, but at least it's coming from the south, that's your mildest day of the week by some degree. notice how we've got a lot of isobars here, hence that windy nature to wednesday, it becomes more widespread and crucially through thursday the wind begins to change direction. i'm just about to show you how extensive that change becomes in the latter part of the week, looked at that, cold air right down and across all parts
1:57 am
of the british isles, rather like the middle of last week. i'm going to show you the effect on the temperatures, see how through the day they begin to fall away, ten in norwich at the start of the day when you've got the mild air and wet and windy weather, and brighter skies later but the temperatures fall away. so the start of the week is mostly fine, then it gets wet and windy and certainly by the latter part of the week, it turns much, much colder. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones. our top stories: hours before the biggest—everjoint us—south korean airforce exercise gets underway, washington says the potential for war with north korea
