hello, i'm tulsen tollett and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: the pressure builds on germany coachjoachim loew with yet another defeat — this time a 2—1 loss in paris to world champions france nathan lyon becomes australia's fourth highest test wicket taker. and johanna konta moves through to the second round of the kremlin cup in moscow as she starts work with a new coach. hello and welcome to the programme where we start with the football news that germany were beaten 2—1 by world champions france in the uefa nations league — a result that will do little to lift the pressure on managerjoachim loew. germany took the lead in paris through toni kroos from the penalty spot in the first half but antoine griezman‘s header pulled

france level before he added another from the penalty spot when blaize matuidi was brought down. it leaves france four points clear at the top of the group while germany now have to hope other results go their way if they're not to be relegated. translation: i think we were almost at the same level of the team which we can say was probably the best tea m we can say was probably the best team in the world right now. i can also see in the first half we could have gone to 2—0 but france has a lot of individual qualities and if we don't pay attention, we are already punished. that is what happened to us. even if i have to say the score is 2—1, the penalty is com pletely say the score is 2—1, the penalty is completely unfair. elswhere on tuesday gibraltar won for the second successive time after 22 consecutive defeats before that — they beat lichtenstein 1—0 while in league b, group4 the republic of ireland lost 1—0 at home to wales with 21 year old harry wilson scoring the winner from a free kick in the 58th minute, and the welsh were also without their star players gareth bale and aaron ramsey. it's not easy when you are missing

quality players like that and now have been results which have not gone oui’ have been results which have not gone our way. without gareth and aaron, there's a chance for the players to come in and prove it is not the case going forward and they did that tonight. we played some really good stuff and the thing i most proud about is that clean sheet, that will to defend and put their bodies on the line. take responsibility for every kick that is made on the field by us. that is myjob. and so that will not change and in terms of questioning, there is no question, i do question everything that happens in the field to look back again to see what we may have a —— may have been able to double a little bit better and hopefully that improvement, it continues.

madagascar have qualified for the africa cup of nations for the first time in their history. their 1—0 victory over equatorial guinea means they progress to next year's tournament in cameroon. and they celebrated with an icelandic hand clap. madagascar have reached the tournament the hard way — coming through the preliminary round, before finishing second in group a behind 2002 runners—up senegal. and senegal qualified top of group a after winning 1—0 in sudan with an 86th minute goal. they'll be joined by egypt who won 2—1 in eswatini. also qualifying from that group are tunisia. firas chawat scored both goals on his debut as they won 2—1 in niger. all the results and permutations are on the bbc sport website. brazil defender miranda scored the only goal of the match in the 93rd minute to win their friendly international against argentina in jeddah. the sa year old headed home skipper neymar‘s corner. elsewhere, belgium who finished third at the world cup earlier this year were held to a 1—1 draw against a much improved netherlands side. jose mourinho could face

a touchline ban this weekend if found guilty of using inappropriate language aimed at a tv camera in manchester united's last premier league match with newcastle. he's been charged by the english fa over comments made in his native portuguese as he walked towards the old trafford tunnel, having witnessed his side come from two goals down to win 3—2. it had been suggested defeat in the match would see the manager lose hisjob. he has until friday to respond to the charge. now to cricket and having faced calls to be stripped of the pakistan captaincy sarfraz ahmed made 94, to help steer his team to a respectable total of 282 on the first day of the second test with australia. the visitors salvaged a draw from the first test, with everything now hinging on this result in abu dhabi and craig templeton was watching. pakistan won the toss and deciding

to bat looked a good decision until it was time for nathan lyon. the offspinner first it was time for nathan lyon. the offspinnerfirst got ali it was time for nathan lyon. the offspinner first got ali and then produced a mesmerising display to ta ke produced a mesmerising display to take four pakistani wickets in four balls and in doing so he became the fourth most successful australian bowler of all time but then came the recovery, with a half—century and then from captain. ahmed was much maligned after the first test and this is how he responded. i —— australia was set 280 to the khawaja could only last for rovers and when the nightwatchman peter siddle followed, australia were left on 20/2 and needing a spark going into the second day. sri lanka and england meet in the third 0ne—day international on wednesday with the visitors holding a 1—0 lead after the first match was abandoned. dry weather welcomed the teams for training in kandy after sri lanka lost the rain affected second 0di by 31 runs and england all rounder

moeen ali says the conditions have proved difficult. it's not been as easy because of the rain. the pictures are a little bit tacky but it's not spinning massive at the moment but i'm sure going forward , at the moment but i'm sure going forward, it will probably spend quite a bit. i think going forward, we arejust going quite a bit. i think going forward, we are just going to have to keep it simple and use the pictures. tennis now and great britain's yohanna konta beat seventh seed elise mertens of belgium 6—3, 7—5 in the first round of the kremlin cup in moscow on tuesday. konta put on an impressive display in front of prospective coach dimitri zavi—arloff. the british number one is working with frenchman on a trial basis at herfinal tournament of the season. the 27—year—old has looked low on confidence for much of 2018, with her ranking tumbling to 44 and she next plays australia's daria gavrilova. roger federer is aiming

to reach 100 career titles and still enjoys the challenge of competition despite being "on the older side" he's said. the 37 year old joined the atp tour in 1998 and has since won 98 career titles with 20 of those grand slam events — so how does he see the future? average retirement age, i guess, is 32, 33—year—old, maybe a fat, and i am 37. i understand they call me old in life. i am still young but as a tennis player, i'm definitely on the older side and had to get used to it. on the tour, i was playing the likes of agassi and moya and tim henman and pete sampras and then you have to switch your mind around a little bit and appreciate that and realise the younger generation is knocking on the door and is excited to play against you. canelo alvarez says stepping up to super middlewight is a risk but one he's happy to take

as he prepares to fight rocky fielding for a wba title. the mexican won the biggest fight of his career against the previously undefeated gennady golovkin last month. but far from concentrating on defending the belts he took, he wants to win a world title at a third different weight. his opponent fielding is not in the same class as golovkin so alvarez will start as favourite. and he hopes to do it ten days before christmas in new york at maddison square garden. translation: yes, it will be different because it's a new weight, we'll have to see how i feel and my focus is always 100%. i have confidence in my experience, marco paparone in and buy capacity in the ring. i know it will be a challenge but that's what i like. i like to do that, take challenges. the nba regular season is underway with the philadelphia 76ers at the boston celtics in the opener. the celtics knocked the 76ers out in the eastern conference semi—finals last season.

it's 38—34 to the celtics. while the team that won the championship, the golden state warriors, led by steph curry are at home to oklahoma city thunder chasing a third successive title. i feel like there is ifeel like there is more in the tank and for me to continue to put the work in and coming to the championship and do whatever happens. i definitely want to stay at the top for as long as i can. to major league baseball where jackie bradleyjunior hit a grand slam homer at the top of the 8th inning to all but seal the win for boston red sox in game 3 of the american league championship series against the houston astros in texas. the red sox lead 8—2 while in the national league championship series the milwaukee brewers take a 2—1 lead into the 11th game of their series against the la dodgers in california shortly having won 4—0 in the third game on monday night. all happening, isn't it?

you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. we saw a top temperature of 21 celsius across the south—east of england yesterday. today is looking a little bit cooler, and that's because we've lost that warm southerly wind off the near continent. we'll also have a few showers, as well. it's not going to be completely dry today. that's because we've got these weather fronts moving very slowly south—eastwards. now, this one is going to bring a band of cloud to portions of england and wales first thing this morning. some spots of rain, in fact, on its southern edge in towards the west country there. it'll very slowly move south—eastwards as we reach the very early hours of this morning. temperatures holding into double figures, though, where we have the cloud. but ahead of it, under clear skies, it's going to be a pretty chilly

start to the day, but plenty of sunshine across the north and the west. this band of cloud, this weather front, very slowly moving south—eastwards, bringing quite a grey day, i think, into east anglia and the south—east. there could be some sunshine ahead of there towards kent. temperature—wise — 16, 17, maybe 18 celsius. cooler than yesterday, but temperatures across scotland and northern ireland will be pretty similar to how they were yesterday. now, on into thursday, we start to see this ridge of high pressure toppling off the atlantic. it's also going to bring some cooler air to most areas, particular central and northern parts, so could be quite a chilly start to thursday. temperatures down to freezing in some rural places. not quite as cold further south — that's because we'll have a bit more cloud around. thursday, apart from a bit of cloud across the south, any mist and fog patches will clear through the morning, and some cloud and breeze in the far north—west of scotland. it looks like a good—looking day, thanks to that area of high pressure, and some good spells of sunshine around.

temperatures reaching 12—16 degrees, that's closer to the norm. as we head on in towards friday, looks like high pressure continues to dominate the centre of england and wales. this could bring some wet and windy conditions to the northern half of the country. friday — a stronger breeze, more cloud for northern ireland and into western scotland, with outbreaks of rain. showery bursts of rain pushing across scotland through the course of the day, but most of england and wales should have a fine one, with lighter winds, good sunny spells around, and maybe a degree or so warmer across the south than what we saw on thursday. a quick peek into the weekend. it does look like it's a north—south divide. high pressure holds onto the conditions across england and wales, whereas we'll have lower pressure further north. so for saturday, which will be pretty similar to sunday, it looks like it will be a fine, dry day.

early mist and fog, clearing away, lots of sunshine around. scotland, northern ireland far north of england breezy and cloudy, with outbreaks of rain. temperatures range from 15—17 or 18 degrees across the south. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories: six weeks after an airstrike in yemen left dozens dead, including many children, a new focus on finding out how it happened. we have a special report from the scene. evenif even if the bus had been full of fighters, the risk to innocent life must surely have been clear, and there are questions about whether or not this was a war crime. all smiles as saudi's crown prince meets the us secretary of state, despite the international pressure over the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. eu leaders call for concrete proposals from the uk to break the impasse over brexit, ahead of a crunch summit in brussels.
