was not the only guilty, was not the only responsible, let us say, of their situation. that is clear. i would say even florentino florez, and his board, were more responsible thanjulen and his board, were more responsible than julen lopetegui. and and his board, were more responsible thanjulen lopetegui. and even more responsible than the players. so it is the easier solution to sack the coach, but it is not the only solution. i thinkjulen lopetegui was not the only one. but who is the right decision? you can see to be passed when anita was sacked and the replacement of zenit into done. is it the right replacement? you see the three champion leagues in a row, yes, it was. champions manchester city

are back at the top of the english premier league after a 1—0 victory over tottenham hotspur at wembley. riyad mahrez, a former leicester city player, scored the only goal of the match after six minutes and dedicated his goal afterwards to the leicester owner who was killed in a helicopter crash along with four others on saturday. i was very close to him. very, very close. he was like a dad for us. for me. i have many, many memories with him. it was shocking and heartbreaking to hear this news... it's difficult to speak about it. you know, sad. in italy's serie a, inter milan closed the gap on leadersjuventus to six points after an impressive 3—0 win at lazio. inter bounced back from their 2—0 defeat to barcelona in the champions league thanks to a couple of goals from mauro icardi, ensuring inter moved into second in the table. have a look at this. this is one of
1:48 am
the two goals that icardi got. baseball next, and another parade is heading back to boston, as the red sox continue celebrating their fourth world series title in 15 years. their lethal combination of power and pitching proved too much for the los angeles dodgers as they wrapped up a 4—1 series win. chris mitchell reports. this is the world series trophy and it belongs to be boston red sox. the red sox win the world series. 5—1 the final tonight. and the best team
1:49 am
in baseball wins it all in 2018. understandably, everybody wants to get a look at the trophy. and you can hear the cheers, cardew? they are coming from over here. the fans are coming from over here. the fans are still here from boston. —— can't you? the are still here from boston. —— can't you ? the team are still here from boston. —— can't you? the team is fast becoming one of the teams in baseball's district. 119 wins in a season. that is really good. and think of the teams they beat on the way he, houston, the new york yankees, no less, and then the dodgers on their home turf, understandably the players are happy. it is a loss of winds. we are playing good ball. everyone was putting something to win the game. —— a loss of winds. putting something to win the game. -- a loss of winds. we had a loss of injuries on the team. everybody helping each other. we came out here and try to win the world series and we did it today. but who engineered
1:50 am
the red sox's success. david price stood on its mount and three windows fast balls that made it difficult for the dodgers to do anything —— and threw in those fast balls. this is what i envisioned. starting game to, this feeling right here, being world series champions. this is why a came to boston. and i am happy we we re a came to boston. and i am happy we were able to do it that why i came to boston. the boston red sox have 110w w011 to boston. the boston red sox have now won the world series four times this century. twice in clean sweeps. they are marketing themselves out as one of the greatest teams that baseball has ever seen. so the red sox are celebrating and lewis hamilton is still celebrating after becoming only the third man in history to win five formula one world titles. those involved in f1 have been reflecting on hamilton's achievement — and asking whether he can now go on to beat michael schumacher‘s record of 7. joe lynskey‘s been looking at the best of the reaction. well, lewis hamilton now ranks
1:51 am
alongside a true icon of formula 0ne, alongside a true icon of formula one, the argentinian who won his fifth world title at the age of a6, in the late 1950s. his contemporary stirling moss caught in the maestro. hamilton calls in the godfather. his record lasted for four decades. hamilton calls in the godfather. his record lasted forfour decades. no deals 15 world titles before michael schumacher matted in 2002. he then went on to win a six and seventh world title. hamilton becomes the burdyga to number five. world title. hamilton becomes the burdyga to numberfive. yaroomba he w011 burdyga to numberfive. yaroomba he won his first back in 2008 as a 23—year—old —— you remember. it was the second full season as a professional driver. at the time he was the youngest driver in history to become champion. hamilton then had to wait 60s before the second
1:52 am
world title in 201a. a period where he is rival this season, sebastian vettel, 1a titles in a row. the move from mclaren to mercedes into a deeper team really kicks that —— kickstarted and saw hamilton sustained at this period of dominance. he has reached that five total mark at the age of 33. that is the same age as michael schumacher when he won his fifth title in 2002. in his career, the german got 91 race wins, that is still 20 more than hamilton has managed so far. so does the britain have the staying power to try to match?” does the britain have the staying power to try to match? i believe lewis can go all the way. equal michael's record, no problem. i am so michael's record, no problem. i am so excited that a british driver, lewis hamilton, has had the opportunity and mercedes. what is even more exciting for me is that five world championships was the easy pa rt five world championships was the easy part for lewers. the next part is to do it next year, which i

believe can be a sixth and then hopefully a seventh. well, most people in f1 agree that hamilton has the talent, but the other question is whether formula one is still even his priority. jacqui stewart told the bbc last week that he can see him getting burned out and focusing more on his interests in the music and fashion industry. he had his face on a billboard in times square not long ago. the other issue that may face hamilton going forward is the opposition that he will start to base in the next two years. this is max verstappen who won the mexican grand prix, the raceway hamilton won the title. verstappen has already been on the f1 circuit for four yea rs. been on the f1 circuit for four years. he is one of a number of new drivers who could start to challenge. next year is going to be hard. ferrari have a new driver, charlotte clare, coming in, and pierre gasly is coming in. verstappen who won the race yesterday, he is phenomenally quick as well. the rivalsjust
1:54 am
yesterday, he is phenomenally quick as well. the rivals just keep coming for lewis hamilton. so it all looks to be thinking in for lewis hamilton ina to be thinking in for lewis hamilton in a season when he has won nine of the 19 races so far. but still be brazilian and abu dhabi grand prix to come this campaign, before the britain can perhaps start to assess just how much sporting history he wa nts to just how much sporting history he wants to make. we bring you some cricket before we go. rohit sharma smashed 162 and ambati rayudu a hundred as india thrashed the west indies by 22a runs in the fourth one dayer in mumbai. they put on 211 for the third wicket helping india reach 377 for 5. kemar roach taking 2 for 7a as the west indies struggled to contain the hosts. their reply was doomed from the start when they slipped to 20 for 3 in the space of seven balls, jason holder's unbeaten 5a the only resistance as they were skittled out for 153 in the 37th over. india lead the series 2—1. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, chetan pathak, and the rest of the sport today well, it looks like we are going

to hold onto the cold weather for a little while yet. for some of us, tuesday's going to start pretty frosty, particularly across western parts of the uk. if you live closer to the north sea, it probably won't be quite so cold, but i think chilly enough. so this is what it looks like very early on tuesday morning. you can see where the frost is, actually from south—western england, from plymouth, through wales, all the way towards western scotland and northern ireland. here, temperatures will be below freezing. they are already well below freezing in some areas. but closer to the north sea, there, east anglia, lincolnshire, temperatures should be above freezing. and we're just getting away with the weather because look at all of the wind and rain in the north sea. it's just skirting with norfolk, suffolk, possibly kent. much of the country through the day on tuesday actually not too bad. there will be quite a lot of cloud around, i think, across eastern areas. but the further west and the south—west you are on tuesday, the better
1:56 am
the weather will be. so, cornwall, devon, somerset, western wales should have a fine day on tuesday. have a look at wednesday now, and we are kind of in between weather systems. lots of weather fronts spinning around here. you can see one or the front of western areas of the uk, so there could be some spots of rain early in the day on wednesday. so this is halloween, approaching the middle of the day here. notice the southerly winds here across central and southern areas. that means that temperatures are expected to pick up a little bit. so not quite so cold. we could even get to around 13 degrees in london. but in the north on wednesday, still pretty chilly, temperatures into single figures. but once again, there will be a little bit of rain around across some western areas on wednesday. not an awful lot, but some of us will catch it. now, let's have a look at thursday's weather forecast. and actually some big
1:57 am
contrasts across europe, some bad weather affecting the mediterranean and the alps. a lot of snow in the alps by the time we get to thursday. look at the southerly winds pushing warm air all the way into scandinavia. so there will be huge contrasts across europe on thursday. some particularly mild weather across central and eastern parts of europe. but here you can see the wind coming off the atlantic from the north—west. slightly cold weather here in the uk. so that temperatures, after a brief rise i think in london, probably levelling back down to around 11 degrees. maybe some rain around on thursday. but i think on the whole it stays quite unsettled and on the chilly side. that's it. goodbye. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is martin stanford. our top stories: president trump is to visit to the scene of the pittsburgh synagogue attack but some jewish leaders say he should stay away.
