today, the current top two in the premier league couldn't manage one. but the leaders came close to ending their horrible run at anfield. asjoe lynskey reports. inside anfield, this is the energy comes from. it is an atmosphere that have intimidated manchester city. twice last season, they were dismantled here. even their manager admits playing liverpool brings danger. it was one of the most anticipated games of the year but the first half of anti—climax. city ‘s lord the game down and dampened the noise. it almost panicked liverpool into an on forced error. with his back to goal, sergio aguero was brought down but no penalty. city have not won on the ground for 15 years but slowly they were starting to show their quality. murray is‘s flashing shot was the first sign of progress but his afternoon would get more significant. city went to increase

the speed with the pace of leroy from the bench. this time, the trip brought the chance. even in man city's collection of riches, mahrez is the record purchase. the money was spent for moments like this. in penalties, he is not the usual taker. sergio aguero watched sky it from the bench. fittingly, is the action this game will be remembered for, this expensive assembly producing a damp squib. for a while today arsenal were the closest team to liverpool and manchester city. after recording another victory in a winning run that's their best for three and a half years. craig templeton reports on their 5—1 win at fulham. arsenal travelled from north to west london looking for their ninth win ina london looking for their ninth win in a row. for their ninth win in a row, whereas fulham's return to the premier league has been less than plain sailing. conceding goals has been the problem and when

they sprung another leak, their opponents found the net. but they have a world cup winner. his finish gave fulham the equaliser. marketers looking for his first international appearance. called up again to the england squad this week but he had no answer. he was about to be upstaged. aaron ramsey had been on the pitch less than one minute but that was enough time to do this. simply sublime, 3—1. fulham are sinking fast and when that happens, you do not give pierre—emerick aubameyang space for two goals of his own. five games on the bounce, not a bad day by the river. —— 5—1 arsenal, nine games. so arsenal went third for a couple of hours. chelsea were top for the same amount of time after thei 3—nil win over southampton. premier league top scorer eden hazard was the main man once again. he got cheslea's first for his seventh of the campaign. ross barkley added their second, in the same week he earned a re—call to the england squad.

alvaro morata got a late third for maurizio sarri's side, who remain unbeaten so far this season. rangers have ended hearts‘ unbeaten start to the scottish premiership season. steven gerrard's side beat the league leaders 3—1 at ibrox. celtic meanwhile were 6—0 winners at stjohnstone. despite their worst start to a season in 20 years, they took a 5—0 lead by half time. four of their goals coming from wingerjames forrest in just 30 first half minutes, odsonne edouard and callum mcgregor with the other two. celtic are now up to third place in the table. mo farah has won the chicago marathon and broken the european record. as well as his own british record in the process. farah crossed the line after two hours, five minutes and 11 seconds despite far from perfect conditions. it's his first victory in only his third marathon. the four—time olympic champion was 37 seconds quicker than the european record and improved his personal best british record by a minute and 11 seconds. lewis hamilton is on the verge of a fifth

formula one drivers‘ championship. he could wrap it up as soon as the next race in the united states. it's after a peerless performance to win this morning's japanese grand prix — a race that saw rival sebastian vettel once again as the maker of his own downfall. ben croucher has the story. in a title fight that seems to have been defined as much by sebastian vettel‘s errors as it has by lewis hamilton's excellence, it would be hard to spin this one any differently. all season, the ferrari man has battled with hamilton for a better world title. the briton made a clean start he really never relinquished. vettel was on the charge, up to that of the first lap. kimi raikkonen and verstappen tangled at the chicane. he became fourth. but sebastian vettel‘s impatience got the better of him. with an overambitious lunge on verstappen sending his title ambitions spiralling out of control. although he recovered

from the back to finish sixth, hamilton was untouchable. i love you guys. i love driving the car, i love this track, i am so happy. his lead over sebastian vettel is up to 67 points, on the verge of a title that would be no less than he deserves however you spin it. sebastian ogier has become the most successful driver in the history of wales rally gb after winning the event for the fifth time. the frenchman came back from eighth position on friday to win in llandudno. ogier's hopes of a sixth consecutive world title have been boosted, with him nowjust seven points behind series leader thierry neuville with two rounds remaining. to motogp, and honda rider marc marquez has won the inaugural thailand grand prix to take a huge stride toward a third successive title. marquez snatched the lead from title rival andrea dovizioso right at the end of the race on the final corner to extend his championship lead to 77 points. there are four races remaining which means marquez can wrap up the series with a win

injapan in two weeks‘ time. enable, ridden by frankie dettori, won the prix de l‘arc triomphe for the second year in a row. the odds on favourite held off the charge of sea of class, to become the first british—trained horse to win europe‘s richest race twice. enable had missed most of the current season but managed to give dettori his sixth arc victory. in one of the most high profile fights in the history of ufc, it is scenes of brawling that will be remembered. not the victory of khabib over ireland‘s conor mcgregor. the fight was set to break the organisation‘s pay—per—view record. but after the russian attacked his opponent‘s camp, the sport has been left with difficult questions. patrick gearey reports. this was supposed to be the climax of the ultimate fighting championship‘s biggest night. millions watching as the defending

champion khabib nurmagomedov beat conor mcgregor. except to did not finish there. with mcgregor beaton, the russian‘s furious build—out of the russian‘s furious build—out of the octagon. both fighters were then involved in brawls. three members of khabib nurmagomedov‘s teamwork arrested and released.” khabib nurmagomedov‘s teamwork arrested and released. i do not understand. i do not understand how it people can talk about ijump on the cage. he talk about my religion, my country, my father. in the build—up to the fight, mcgregor had been punished for attacking a bus containing his opponent. the hysteria continued in the press conferences. at one stage, mcgregor threatened to put a hole in his opponenfs threatened to put a hole in his opponent‘s skull. though find it too violent to be classed as a sport, mma is increasingly popular around the world and it is supporters say to the unskilled. now, even the man who has overseen its growth admits that what happened as big as is damaging. it is bad for everybody, the sport, the brand. it is bad for

this level of the guys from both camps. by the's victory was announced, he had been escorted from the arena. it was judged too unsafe to present him with his belt. —— by the time khabib nurmagomedov‘s victory had been announced. australia pulled off the second—biggest comeback in test history to beat argentina in the rugby championship. the wallabies conceded two tries in the first four minutes. they trailed 31—7 at the break before scoring five second—half tries to secure a 45—34 victory. the largest comeback in international test history came in 2007, when chile trailed uruguay 27—0 at the interval. worcester recorded their biggest premiership win beating bristol by 52 points to 7 at sixways. the warriors ran in seven tries, the pick of them this lung—busting effort from josh adams, which was his first of the season. the victory lifts worcester to seventh above bristol, who drop a place to 10th. georgia‘s nikoloz basilashvili followed up his semi

denmark‘s lucas bjerregarrd won by a single shot to seal his second european tour title. we‘re around 20 minutes away from the game that could bring the first canadian side into rugby league‘s super league. toronto wolfpack have been working their way up the divisions in the sport. they now take on london broncos in what‘s called the million pound match. the wolfpack owner david argyle sez they‘re ready tojoin the big boys. —— says. this is a wonderful moment for the wolfpack, the london broncos, in fact all of rugby, to be playing in the million pound game, here. we have great support for players and coaches on the field and, importantly, our front office has delivered the infrastructure for our team to do so well. so, we are surprised. it was a five—year plan. it is nice to get there earlier. that‘s all from sportsday. goodbye.

if we want to take a quick snap these days, we tended to use one of these. but if you are serious about those photographs, this is still the camera of choice, the slr. of course, it is notjust the camera itself that is better, the sensor used to capture the images also larger. that provides the professional standard known as filtering, which is the equivalent in size to the old 35mm film. the mobile phone has clearly taken its toll on the compact camera, but the dsl had remained largely untouched until the last couple of years, when a new system called mirror last started to gain traction and respect. —— mirror list. digital single lens reflex cameras use a mirror system to bounce the light coming through the lens up to the viewfinder, so you can see

what you‘re shooting. but that has a few drawbacks. when you do take the shot, the whole mirror system has to flip away to reveal the sensor — that‘s noisy and can cause vibration. so, enter mirrorless. now the light hits the sensor directly, which also handles autofocus and exposure. and, in doing so, it‘s also able to offer other features, like face or eye detection. the newer full frame mirrorless cameras house larger sensors, capturing more light for a better picture. to do all of this, the viewfinder is no longer optical. it‘s a tiny electronic screen with a live feed from the sensor, which initially put off some professionals. but is this the moment that the dslr has finally met its match? dan simmons has been to the world‘s biggest photo expo, photokina, in germany, to find out. photography isn‘t about cameras.

it‘s about taking great pictures. but the introduction from heavyweights nikon and canon in the mirrorless full frame market is turning the heads of pros as well as enthusiasts. i am an extreme sports photographer and i had the chance for about two months to test the new eosr. this is canon‘s new system. on sale from tuesday, it will work with existing eos lenses and offers several big advantages over dslr. this new camera enables me to shoot scenarios that i couldn‘t shoot before. for instance, if i get really close to an athlete, he is in his zen mode where he prepares for a stunt, and it‘s quite critical. if i disturb him too much, he might lose his stunt and i might lose my picture. but eosr, i can put into silent mode and then it is really completely silent. it‘s like there is no noise at all. the only way you can understand that there is a picture being taken is a little flash

around the viewfinder. i was sceptical about electronic viewfinder. i was scared about how to work with that. but when the light drops it is a whole new ball game. it is like putting on nightvision goggles because you actually see more with this camera then you can see with your eyesight. you can shoot images and you can create compositions that i could never have done before. canon fans have been waiting for this new system for some time now. they watched sony introduce the world‘s first mirrorless model back in 2013. so why has it taken canon so long to catch up? well, you know, we come from a digital slr big leadership. we have to ensure that we offer people what they want. they wanted this full frame mirrorless camera two years ago, that‘s when they wanted it. i don‘t know when they wanted it, but we believe this is the right time. sony have been out for five years

with a camera similar this. it was a growing market. are you saying it wasn‘t worth putting it out earlier? it was maybe worth it, maybe not. were you ready to put it out earlier? we are ready today, clearly. but were you ready before? this is canon. if we come up with something, it must be the best. the best in mirrorless is understandably a bone of contention. so before i tell you why it might not be, let me tell you four good reasons why that might be the best. canon claim the fastest autofocus, at one hundredth of a second. —— one 200th. more autofocus points than any other system — more than 5000, if you need them. and the ability to autofocus in darker situations than any other camera in the world — minus 6 ev if you‘re interested. for the hard—core, they have a new zoom that is f2 throughout the range.

but is the eosr the best? nikon hasn‘t updated its famous camera lens f—mount system since it was introduced in 1959 — until last week, when it too went mirrorless. the new full frame z6 and z7 models are slimmer and lighter. an adapter allows them to work with existing nikon lenses, and they sport a visible wider z—mount, allowing more light to hit the sensor. the idea is to create lenses which are as sharp and perform at wider aperture. the new z—mount from nikon is more than 1000 times faster than the traditional f—mount. that is the speed the camera talks to the lens, and then the lens can then respond. exactly. to be honest, we are actually not using the speed yet, but that is looking forward.

i don‘t know what we‘re talking about — in five years to ten years — when you might have different applications. why could that be useful? —— is there any reason why we should keep dslrs in the future? definitely. dslr are still the ones that have, let‘s say, the longest battery life. sometimes you actually need the sturdiness and the weight. the mirrorless cameras will come there eventually. but remember it is probably what what you shoot that makes the biggest difference. it may not be the nicest lens or have superfast autofocus, but it is mirrorless. this is the zozo suit and generally you would be wearing it in the privacy of your own home. the aim is that it helps create 3d measurements of you so you can order custom—made clothes online.

around 400 unique markers are tracked by the phone‘s app. the company behind the suit, zoonown, although you may never have heard of it, is the biggest online fashion retailer in japan. a business which turned its founder, yusaku maezawa, from a drummer in a band into a billionaire. but he may be feeling a little distracted right now, as he has bought the first tickets for elon musk‘s 2023 spacex mission to the moon. he doesn‘t want to travel into space alone though. i met up with the avid art collector at the louis vuitton foundation in paris where his $110 million basquiat painting is currently on show. ever since i was a kid, i have loved the moon very much. after hearing about spacex, at what point did you start to think, "yes, i actually want to go and do this"? yusaku wants to bring artists along

with him, at his expense, to see how their experience inspires their work. maybe it will be a musician, a painter, a dancer, a film director, i don‘t know yet. so right now there are still a lot of things in question, a lot needs to be developed. how likely do you think it is that this is going to go ahead? do you trust elon musk?

you know him. do you like him? are you friends? would you like him to come? he is crazy, like me. is he crazy enough to want to go to the moon? i am very honoured to do that. what do you hope that you may come back thinking, feeling, or having learned?

how much does a ticket to the moon cost? i cannot say about that. but huge. hundreds of millions? you‘re not allowed to say. thank you very much. and safe journey. thank you. you want to go? really? i‘m i wasn‘t expecting an invite! that‘s it for this week‘s show. you can find the full—length

programme online. to keep of what we get up to two of the week, you can find us on social media and of course we will be back next week. —— get up to throughout the week. good evening. this weekend, we a lwa ys good evening. this weekend, we always promised you a tale of two halves and that is exactly what happened. what a difference a day makes. plenty of cloud, and some rain into scotland and northern ireland, in comparison to yesterday pretty miserable. further south, after a chilly start, some sunshine. a much better afternoon in parts of cambridge in comparison to

yesterday. it has felt quite pleasant. further north and west, we have kept the cloud, rain and noticeable gusts of wind in excess of 50 mph at times. that really is here to stay, not only through the night but into monday and potentially tuesday as well. it could bring a potential of localised flooding. cloud further south, so not as cold a night. we start of monday, still the potentialfor not as cold a night. we start of monday, still the potential for some rain around. it is not a wash—out to start off. the northern isles than far north—east of scotland may be dry and bright but there is more rain to come. itjust keeps feeding instead lay off the atlantic over the next couple of days. a south—westerly breeze will always dry in more cloud along west facing coasts. more sheltered further east with some drier, brighter weather in prospect. it does look as though, through monday, this weather front will bring some rain and it will meander its way north and south through the day on monday. some quite heavy across much of western

and northern areas of scotland. the best of the sunshine in sheltered southern and eastern areas and temperatures a degree or so up. similar story as we move out of monday into tuesday. still bad weather front bringing the potential for further wet weather into scotla nd for further wet weather into scotland and northern ireland. more cloud and more of a breeze. that south—westerly still driving in more warmth further south. with some sunshine, temperatures peaking at 20 degrees. if that is music to your ears, it looks as though the wind will change its subtle direction and bring some warmth. of it, we could, from the start of wednesday morning, see the potential for fog. hopefully, this wind will list that readily away, driving that weather front out of scotland as well. from wednesday and thursday, it looks like it will be warmer still even into the far north of scotland. this is bbc news.
