england have two on the list for the inaugral women's ballon d'or, we'll catch up with the squad ahead of tomorrow night's friendly against australia. we will have to have all our energy and show all our quality and it will definitely be a step up from playing brazil on saturday, that is for sure. also coming up in the programme... the youth olympics are under way in buenos aires with 12 very special guests. good evening to you. it's the first day of another international football break, we'll catch up with some of the home nations preparations and also the england lionesses who are facing australia tomorrow night, but we are going to start

with one of the big stories from the weekend and the continuing fall—out. ufc 229, not so much conor mcgregor‘s defeat to kabib nurmagomedov in las vegas but the brawl that followed billed as the biggest mixed martial arts fight in history. mcgregor, the greatest name in the sport despite almost two years away, was forced to submit in the fourth round, after the russian caught him in choke—hold. the champion then leapt from the octagon and started fighting with some of mcgregor‘s entourage, three of his party were arrested and later released and another man attacked mcgregor inside the cage. nurmagomedov apologised, pointing towards the provocation that he had been subjected to in the build up to the fight, but his purse has been held by the nevada state athletics commission who sanctioned the fight and he may face further punishment. it was an ugly, ugly night. in a moment will get the view from a former ufc fighter who was at the fight, but let's get the view from us, dave doyle from mma fighting.com.

speaking to me earlier he told me how ufc as an organisation should be held accountable. people are shocked and disgusted by what happened but at the same time, the ufc kind of playing with fire and got burned here. they made the legitimate grudge between conor mcgregor and nurmagomedov, into the entire promotion of the fight. konnor group committed a criminal act on nurmagomedov six months ago and they put it into the promotion of the fight. it is a bit like the usa played with fire and got burned. —— the usa played with fire and got burned. -- the ufc usa played with fire and got burned. —— the ufc played with fire and got burned. the bus attack by conor gallagher and his cohorts at a ufc

promotional event, in that hold build—up, surely the ufc must take some responsibility? surely they should but this is the fight business and it is a dirty business. and that footage that they use is propelling this to be the biggest money event in ufc history. so hopefully they learned a bit of a lesson for this but at the same time it is what it is and if they were to fight again it would be an even bigger event. in the short term where does this leave the champion, nurmagomedov, the nevada state athletics to mission withheld the purse for now and are investigating what went on. they are, he was scheduled to make $2 million and that does not include his pay—per—view revenue in nevada as of now has withheld the purse as they

launch an investigation into the event and what i expect to see happen is nevada has to walk a fine line here because if they are to be taken serious as a sanctioning body has to make the appearance of being tough on nurmagomedov and the appearance that they do not condone these actions. there is a $17 million game from this fight and they are getting nearly $1 million of this so they want to sound like they are tough on nurmagomedov and at the same time they are not going to make so top of a punishment or sentence that they drive them away and never have a fight in las vegas ever again. there is a lot of money at stake. that is dave doyle from mma fighting .com. well let's speak live now to former ufc fighter, dan hardy who isjust back home from the fight after working with our five live commentary team.

dan, you were in the thick of it, how much damage, if any, has been done to ufc do they care? i think ithink in i think in the immediate fallout it looks a bit damaging but in the longer run there will be more eyes on these part because people are interested in the narrative and although it is not a very pleasant story this continues the story along and will conor get a rematch between these guys and i think once the disciplinary action has been dealt with, i think this will go back to combat sports. there is a sense of the article when fighters have to sell a sport, there is a lot of money on pay per view viewings because the fighters take a cut of that as well. do you think it sometimes goes too far, konnor and are essentially threatened to kill nurmagomedov in the build—up to this. —— conor mcgregor. has the ufc

lost control of their fighters?” have seen this, the combat sports is the closest to real fighting we can get and these guys, it is on the line, it is warfor get and these guys, it is on the line, it is war for these people and i remember being in that situation. it is what it is, we are fighters at the end of the day and these two guys, the end of the day and these two guys, maybe it went a little too far but that more than anything is done toa but that more than anything is done to a cultural difference, what we would consider to be trash talking in the western world would not be interpreted the same and part of it isa interpreted the same and part of it is a cultural difference as has been highlighted. after two years away, mcgregor had the crossover fight with floyd mayweather, does ufc still need him and he was outclassed

a few hours ago. i think he can pick himself back up off the floor and dust himself off, his story is not over and there are a lot of interesting fighters and there may bea interesting fighters and there may be a strategy there, a potential title fight in the future and lots of fights with mcgregor but he is certainly not the best lightweight on the planet any more that is for sure. thank you forjoining us this evening. the 30 man list for this years prestigious ballon d'or is slowly taking shape the names are being released 5 at a time every few hours. that is how they do it and do not ask me why. it was first presented back in 1956, stanley matthews the first recipeint. denis law, bobby charlton, george best, kevin keegan, twice, and michael owen are the only british winners it's put together by the editorial staff of france football and voted for byjournalists across the world. cristiano ronaldo and lionel messi have won it five tiems each over the past 10 years, harry kane is one of seven

premier league players of the fifteen players we know so far. he was in the third batch of nominees announced this afternoon, he was also included in the 30 man list last year. he captained england to the world cup semi—finals in russia over the summer. he scored six goals. he got the golden boot. also on the shortlist chelsea stirker eden hazard — after an impressive world cup campaign with belgium and a fast start to the new season at chelsea. he was voted second best player at the world cup behind croatia captain luka modric, who's also expected to feature when the rest of the names are revealed over the next few hours. and manchester city's kevin de bruyne was among the second set of nominations after city won the premier league, carabao cup and community shield last year, and he also played a major role in helping belgium finish third at the world cup. in the past hour or so a list of 15 nominees have been released for the

first women's ballon d'or. two england players make the cut. lyon's champions league winner lucy bronze and chelsea star fran kirby. kirby scored the winner against brazil on saturday, both should be involved against australia in another friendly at craven cottage tomorrow nightjo currie has been with the squad today. the world cup is fast approaching and yesterday marked eight months until the tournament gets under way in france. but the lionesses have a few hurdles to step over before, namely hosting australia coming after a impressive win over brazil on the weekend. but the team down on her poses a greater threat. we have not played australia for a long time and she plays in australia and tells me all the time how physically fit they are and i do think they could be one of the dark horses to win the world cup. tomorrow night's match will be the lionesses first game in the capsule for four years and last

time out they were thrashed 3—0 i germany at wembley. a lot has changed not the least of which the training and recovery. and it involves inflatable unicorns. we started off with the ducking and training, throwing about so the unicorns are training, throwing about so the ui'iicoi'i'is are now training, throwing about so the unicorns are now the sword of our team and to relax and take your mind off foot ball for team and to relax and take your mind off football for a time, it just allows the team to be kids and have allows the team to be kids and have a few minutes of relaxation. someone will not be making a splash tomorrow is jill scott, the midfielder will not be making a splash tomorrow isjill scott, the midfielder who has been ruled out of the match with ankle problems and he says he is not too concerned losing one of his most experienced layers especially when he has williams poised. she is fantastic and the girls have so much

respect for her and when she walks into the room and speaks, they listen. the lionesses are only expected to play once more in 2018 in sweden have lined up in november, the players are under more pressure than ever before to impress tomorrow night. joe curry, bbc news, london. october and november is traditionally the sacking season in english football. cahirman and owners patience wearing thin by poor results since august and also two handy international breaks to find a suitable replacement. that's what aston villa are hoping anyway, they sacked steve bruce last wednesday following a 3—all draw with bottom club preston the previous night. favourite to take over, thierry henry with perhaps john terry as his assistant, who announced hsi retriement from football yesterday. dan bardell is from the villa view. evening to you, sojohn terry captained to the final defeat

against fulham last season, do you think that is a gamble?” against fulham last season, do you think that is a gamble? i have to be honest, in the season since o'neal left, we felt like absolutely everything and i think this is pretty much the only route we have not gone down over the last few yea rs not gone down over the last few years so not gone down over the last few years so henry, he is not the best player ever to play and he knows inside out having been there last season inside out having been there last season and so it sounds like a good, nation. to bring some expense with them but it was time for a change and we have to do something because the season is dwindling away. the outpouring of anger, and a cabbage thrown at steve bruce and you lost at the weekend again, and does some of the blame goes to be a pupil over the summer at board level, a lot of change wasn't there, financial westerns as well? i do not think it

helped but when the new owners have come in, it probably was not the right time to get rid of the manager, i think three weeks ago with the seasons started would be pretty catastrophic to get rid of so i think they wanted to give steve bruce a chance and we had a good season last season, 25 games we won andi season last season, 25 games we won and i think bruce had the chance to start the season but in all honesty we made a mess of it. the way he left the social in defence, we have to reckon the back ends of the club and one is on mode and we have had and one is on mode and we have had an absolute mess. we have to change, it can become poisonous i do not think there was any way but to get rid of the bruce. but fans will be quite pleased with that. dwight yorke a legend of the club has been

very forward and wants the job, he sent his cb off. i imagine that will bea sent his cb off. i imagine that will be a lot of cvs going into the villa park boardroom but i think celebrating in front of the fans, i think he is probably burned his bridges and the other two have not got any experience, they are more recently retired and yorke has had his chance and he has not done it. so it is not a realistic appointment. i think henry has been with the belgian team and they are some of the best layers in the world and so it is exciting and i hope it is one that goes through now. thank you for your time this evening, enjoy your international break and see if we get a new manager by the end of it. the fa are investigating comments made byjose mourinho at the end of manchester united's match on saturday. united came from two down to win 3—2 at home to newcastle. mourinho appears to have sworn in portuguese and made a gesture to the camera as he walked off after the final whistle at old trafford.

still to come on sports days the back bay... we'll catch up with dame kelly holmes in malawi and a project to help save lives through sport. -- still —— still to come on sports day... the youth olympic games are under way in buenos aires — a time to showcase a new generation of athletes. guests of honour in argentina are the the 12 thai footballers who were dramatically rescued after almost three weeks trapped in a flooded cave earlier this year. our olympic sports reporter nick hope is there. the olympics are about more than just sport, that is the message that organisers have been trying to get across since the games began on saturday here in buenos aires and in many ways the presence of the 12 tie boys and their kochi or exemplifies that. in the latejune and early july they were left fighting for

their lives after becoming trapped in an underground cave. the story spread around the globe and during the opening weekend here they were given a golden ticket to the games, after a cameo, they played and watched several sports and that the international olympic committee president. this is very special because these boys they are setting an example for the whole world of courage and perseverance. t0 an example for the whole world of courage and perseverance. to see them now in such a good mood, relax, but still conscious of what they had to sufferfor, it but still conscious of what they had to suffer for, it is very emotional. one of many positive stories to come out of youth olympics over the last two days but what of the sport itself? team gb hope to win their first medal little later. the type one champion is an action and we had a result today, calum young finished in the triathlon and later we will

also see the first ever olympic medals in breaking, which thousands we re medals in breaking, which thousands were qualifying yesterday. south africa's jordan smith were qualifying yesterday. south africa'sjordan smith has english grandparents so there are some bridge connection there. some of the worlds leading young growers will ta ke worlds leading young growers will take place behind me and there is live coverage of the youth olympics through the 18th of october on the bb -- bbc through the 18th of october on the bb —— bbc sport website. now let's have a look at some of the other headlines today. british number one kyle edmund has reached a career—high of 14th in the world tennis rankings. after reaching the china open semi—finals. andy murray is now number 262 in the world. the new zealand flanker sam cane will miss the autumn internationals that includes tests against england and ireland after fracturing a bone in his neck. he was injured during the all blacks' win over south africa on saturday haris sohail made a century as pakistan posted a commanding a82 all out on the second day of the first test agaisnt
