quality spinner. it has been a disappointment to see the senior core of the team, alastair cook has found no form, stuart broad, joe root, none of them have found form. so, quite different reactions between the australian and british newspapers, as you could imagine given the sheer scale of the result. in australia, the daily telegraph in sydney has gone all out with both a front and back page. on the front it's quite simply god save the ashes and that the rivalry is dead. and on the front page of the west australian it says "we've ‘urned' it," as the ashes are regained, while the sydney morning herald caption it as "long may we reign over them." that is quite catchy. while in britain, the daily mail haven't held back by saying "how easy was that?" with former captain, nasser hussain, claiming moeen ali hasn't been up to it, while in the times another

former captain michael atherton says england's lack of fast bowlers is holdfing them back with the headline "too skilful, too ferocious." and in the daily express, it blames captainjoe root and former skipper, alastair cook, with a simple phrase of blown away. now to the nfl, and carolina panthers owner, jerry richardson, has put the franchise up for sale, as he faces allegations of workplace misconduct. richardson has been the team's only owner since it formed in 1993 and says he will sell up at the end of the season and the current coach has been paying tribute. he helped put the carolinas on the map. for me personally, having him help me grow as a coach, it has been tremendous. he has helped me and gave me every opportunity. he was the first owner of my nine interviews to give me a chance. that is all i can speak of. i know the
1:51 am
allegations are serious and there will be an investigation, and it should be respected. rapper, puff daddy, has expressed an interest in buying the panthers and becoming the nfl's first african—american majority owner. sean combs also said he would make hiring free agent colin kaepernick his first task. however, nfl writer, cindy boren, from the washington post, says he would need a lot more money for the deal to go through. i would say the chances of the sale going through are very, very good. i think this is going to have, no question about it, a possibility of happening. puff daddy said he wanted to purchase them and he would hire colin from the protest. and now colin from the protest. and now colin says he would join. that is interesting. steph curry said so
1:52 am
too. these franchises don't come up for sale very often and tend to stay in the family. i think that p diddy faces long odds of purchasing the team. even if he gets a bunch of others like mackerel and i think it will take a couple of million dollars. —— curry and others involved. i think he is a few short. that will be problematic. it will be interesting to see if nfl owners would approve him and colin. let's face it, others would have to approve to welcome him and others into their clique. rugby union and france's all—time leading scorer frederic michalak will retire at the end of the season. the 35—year old fly half who joined lyon last year said the physical nature of the sport is getting "more and more difficult." michalak who won european cups with both toulouse and toulon made 77 appearances for his country

and retired from international rugby two years ago. with france he won three six nations grand slams and played in three world cups. the president of ferrari says formula one's bosses are playing with fire if they deem ferrari's threat to quit the sport is baseless. the italian‘s are concerned with the direction the sport's owners are taking, saying they'll leave if they're not happy. sergio marchionne said those who run f1 are fighting against the dna of the sport and that if they think ferrari are bluffing, they're playing with fire. he also says they'll come back stronger next season after missing out on the title in 2017. there was a strong likelihood that if we continued on the part we started in australia, we would have got the championship. certain events stopped us from doing that. i think it was a great learning experience, especially in the second half of 2017. one thing i know for sure is
1:54 am
that the team has come out of that process much stronger, with a much greater strength of resolve for 2018 and the responsibility they have been the premier f1 team in the world. american, john florence, has retained his world surfing title. the 25—year—old was in a two way fight with brazil's gabriel medina at the pipeline masters on the north shore, but when medina was eliminated in the quarter—finals it meant that florence retained the title at his home break and he becomes hawaii's first back to back world champion since the late andy irons in 200a. what a surfer. that is it. top story, everton have moved to ninth

after a 3—1win over bottom—placed swa nsea after a 3—1win over bottom—placed swansea city. that is it. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello. high pressure can bring a fairly settled spell of weather at any time of year and certainly we have a high pressure dominating the scene across a good three quarters of the british isles, not doing just enough to keep the fronts at bay in the far north and north—west of scotland, as you will see. what it can mean is that we start the days on a fairly chilly note. that is not my great concern as we get into the first part of tuesday. it is just how dense the fog is going to be and how widespread that dense fog could well be. i am highlighting a number of areas there. bbc local radio is a good source of local information as to how it will affect your journey. on the bigger picture, there are islands of fog that we had quite widely across england and wales and that is not the only source of poor visibility.
1:56 am
obviously that frontal system coming in with the rain won't help matters, high ground helping to lift the temperatures, in fact down on the shores of the murray firth it will be 13 or 1a degrees. the peaks and western side of wales coming to the south—west could all be affected by some hill fog. despite the fact that the shield of fog lifts across southern england, it could linger in east anglia and the south—east for the greater part of the day. it could well be that we see a return of some of that fog as we start the new day on wednesday. more patchy perhaps, but still the odd pocket of dense fog and you only need one pocket to ruin your day. this frontal system makes slow progress down and across the british isles as we get on through the day on wednesday. bringing with it the possibility of some rain, i don't think there will be an awful lot,
1:57 am
although it may be enhanced. that frontal system waving its way across the heart of the british isles during the day. to either side, it is essentially still relatively mild, but as the frontal system comes further south, the milder airs will tend to be confined over the southern parts of britain, maybe something slightly colderjust making its presence felt across northern parts of scotland and into northern ireland. i think single figure temperatures but not perishingly cold, the breeze is coming across the top end of a new developing area of high pressure as we close out the week. then further south, that band of cloud, the old weather front tending to dissipate and maybe the odd spot of rain on the far side. but we close out the week on a relatively dry note. take care. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm mike embley. our top stories: taking on china and russia. president trump sets out
