but he said, he gave us all a glass of rum and shouted no surrender and they all raced over the top. the eejits. how do you feel to this day when you hear the band playing? ifeel proud. i love to hear the band. derry‘s bandmembers doubled as stretcher bearers, and their part in the war has never been forgotten. every year, we would commemorate the battle of the somme, and we would parade to the cenotaph and lay a wreath in memory of the fallen. by the end of the war in 1918, tens of thousands of irishmen from the south had also fought alongside british regiments, but while they were away the easter rising had been launched by irish republicans to end british rule. it meant, coming home, southern ireland was no place for irish soldiers who served with the british army. they had to hang their heads, you know. they didn't come back as heroes,

which they should have. the opposite was the case. sonny's second cousin, john condon from waterford, was the youngest soldier to be killed. it's believed he wasjust 14. more than 1,100 men from this county alone lost their lives in the war. those that returned home faced shame and disgrace. for decades, the service of irish soldiers was almost wiped from public memory. i suppose there was a more or less an written consensus in this part of ireland that the entire episode of the first world war, it would be best perhaps if that was brushed under the carpet. sadly it continued right up until quite recently, when we had the peace process on the island of ireland. people were more willing at that stage to look back at what actually happened during the great war. to this day, many families in ireland are still discovering what their ancestors did in the war. it's only in later years now, a lot of people are mellowing, a lot of people are beginning

to see the truth. this memorial was established for the young john condon, so future generations will remember the thousands of irish soldiers who were once deliberately forgotten. emma vardy, bbc news, waterford. that's it from us for tonight. newsnight is coming up on bbc two with emily maitlis, who's in washington. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm sarah mulkerrins, coming up: late, late drama as manchester united overcome a ronaldo wondergoal to win atjuventus. when your luck‘s in, raheem sterling awarded a bizarre penalty as manchester city put six past shakhtar. and england's spinners

finally see the light — their best first innings performance since 2012 as the visitors take control of the first test in sri lanka. hello and welcome to sportsday. well, let's start in turin, where manchester united pulled off a remarkable turnaround to win 2—1 againstjuventus in the champions league. a wonderstrike from cristiano ronaldo had put the hosts ahead, that his first european goal for the italian side. but then, jose mourinho‘s side scored two goals in the final five minutes to steal the victory.

a dramatic night in turin then, and adam wild has the details. for manchester united, terror and will always hold memories of glory past but now a chance to create more. everywhere, it seems reminders of what they want ad. for his mama, luciano ronaldo would have to wait. juventus would pose a threat throughout. only oppose giving out to the brave. but all the while, getting closer. this effort hitting the bar, unaccustomed frustration for the italian champions. but then came ronaldo bust tadic and against his former club, a moment of breathtaking brilliance and beauty. ona night breathtaking brilliance and beauty. on a night to store the memories, a golf you will forget. but it may not be how this game we remembered. five minutes or many, perseverance and precision finally paid off. one bother putting united level. while that was a brat like a winner, the real thing was on his way. another

free kick in a desperate scramble and somehow it went in. somehow they wa nt and somehow it went in. somehow they want it. turin is somehow still special for want it. turin is somehow still specialfor united. want it. turin is somehow still special for united. adam wilde, want it. turin is somehow still specialfor united. adam wilde, bbc news. well, juventus only needed a draw to secure their spot in the knockout stages. they started the game five points ahead of manchester united. that gap is now down to two. valencia in third, they were 3—1 winners against young boys in the other group game. well, it was a little more straightforward for united's neighbours, manchester city. they were 6—0 winners against shaktar donetsk at the etihad. this their biggest win in the champions league, and they started fast. captain david silva opened the scoring just 13 minutes in. raheem sterling was causing touble for shaktar, through on goal, and then this. we could see a replay. penalty awarded for this. stumbles, stubs his foot, fell over. most in agreement it was comical, but serious as gabrieljesus scored the resulting penalty.

sterling did better later on, the best goal of the game by far. this just after the break to make it 3—0. by the end, it was gabrieljesus on a hat trick who made it 6—0. city were just minutes from reaching the last 16, but pavel kaderabek‘s late equaliser for hoffenheim at lyon, means pep guardiola's side will have to wait until the next match in france to seal their qualification. elsewhere, real madrid's caretaker coach santiago solari oversaw a 5—0 win at viktoria plzen. gareth bale one of the goal—scorers. real are level on nine points with group g leaders roma. bayern munich beat aek 2—0 at the allianz arena. they only need a point from their next game against group e rivals benfica to progress. england's cricketers are well on top going into the third day of the first test against sri lanka in galle.

they'll resume tomorrow morning on 38 without loss — a lead of 177. earlier, ben foakes completed a test century on his debut before england were finally dismissed for 3112 in theirfirst innings. they then dismissed sri lanka forjust 203, as our sports correspondentjoe wilson reports. for the cricket tour wrists, sri la nka for the cricket tour wrists, sri lanka in november is an attractive destination, especially when it stops raining. on a holiday is aware of ben stokes is meant to bait. he was taking six months off until england called him. there is an we need you to play. while today, he completed his century. 100 runs on his england debut. am i dreaming? well, frankly, it got better. having made 3112 in their first innings, england and boulder. they took two wickets quickly with the quick

bowlers. but in asia conditions, it is often spin bowler zhiwen matches, like this. jack leads the bowler here in his second test match. of course you know moto by now. sri la nka course you know moto by now. sri lanka 40—4 win da silva lost sight of his stumps. when the slow bowlers are on, building requires bravery as you were here. rotary burns on his test debut struck around the back of his neck as he ducked. there was lengthy treatment. he was in the end deemed ok. for moeen ali, he ended up deemed ok. for moeen ali, he ended up with four wickets, combining with that man foa kes up with four wickets, combining with that man foakes who took the catch asa that man foakes who took the catch as a gatekeeper and it's reluctant we re as a gatekeeper and it's reluctant were all out for 203. an two hours after being hit, roy curvers was batting and leading the second inning, 177 ad at the close. this was a five star game. joe wilson, bbc news. now the city of hanoi in vietnam

is over 1000 years old and boasts some of the world's most beautiful lakes, palaces and cultural museums. but there's going to be a new attraction in town soon, with the announcement that the city will host formula 1 races from 2020. it's the first new addition to the f1 calendar since us—based liberty media took over the sport from bernie ecclestone last year. i know it will be a wonderful addition to our rate schedule that we have in place this year and next year. we have made it a goal and a priority for us to try and host formula 1 races in what we believe are the most exciting and dynamic cities and countries around the world. it is clearly very important overall to our future. it is really important and really is the driving engine of the world's future. as it we re engine of the world's future. as it were to grow the sport in asia, we wa nt to were to grow the sport in asia, we want to be in countries we really think are going to be the engines of growth and the engines of excitement. it's an interesting development as formula one looks to grow in asia.

former f1 driver karun chandhok is from india and spoke to katherine downes about the announcement earlier. for the sake of the world championship, it is good to have a bland of future new countries coming to the calendar as well as traditional races. but also going to straight razors. hanoi will be on the streets of the city and i think that again will make it different. they very much located in the same way that abu dhabi or singapore do, which is an opportunity to put the city and the country on the map. an opportunity to attract tourism. the singapore grand prix this year him of the promoter told me that they has 16,000 people fly over from india for the race. they have got more tickets sold people from other parts of asia, which is exactly what they want because that benefits local businesses, hotels, restaurants, shopping all that sort. i think that is very much the agenda

ina i think that is very much the agenda in a honda wait for them to give them a platform for the seeding and them a platform for the seeding and the country on the global map. do you think hanoi will bump silverstone off the circuit? should british fans worried it will not be grande prairie in britain?” british fans worried it will not be grande prairie in britain? i do not think having the race in hanoi and sexy british grand prix, to be on us. sexy british grand prix, to be on us. i think it is two separate things. when the liberty media group took over and took executive charge of the sport, one of the things they talked about was more races on the whole. they talked about nudging the calendar up to 25 races, which probably will not be popular with my wife to 25 races on the road is hard work of the teams but fundamentally for the sport, that is will he want to take it. i do not think it is a question of what one replacing the other. i think the are two very separate things. when it comes to the british grand prix, they find a solution. as i said at the top, i

think having traditional races as silverstone, germany or monaco are so silverstone, germany or monaco are so important that they are part of the dna of formula 1. it will be a massive shame if we do not have these races on the calendar in the future. let's take a quick look at some of the other stories making the news. fifa president gianni infantino says any player involved in a european super league would be banned from international football, including the world cup. german magazine der spiegel said that leaked documents revealed clubs' plans to form the breakaway competition. but infantino says it's fifa's duty to "protect football". floyd mayweather has denied agreeing to a fight with kick boxer tenshin nasukawa in japan on new year's eve. mayweather says he only agreed to an exhibition bout in a non—televised event for wealthy spectators. he's apologised to his fans for what he calls "very misleading information". that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. good night.

hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the media editor at the guardian, jim waterson, and the victims commissioner and conservative peer, baroness newlove. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. today's midterm results make the front of the ft. the paper leads on trump's call for bipartisanship with the democrats, with the president saying there's scope for collaboration after they captured the house of representatives. the guardian has a slightly different take on trump's reaction to the democrat's grip on the house, saying the us president has

threatened a "war—like" response should they use their newly—acquired powers to investigate him. the republicans' tightening grip on the senate is featured prominantly on the front of the times, with trump hailing the party's success a victory and confirming that mike pence will be his running mate in 2020. the i focuses in on the record number of women and lgbt candidates making history being elected to congress. trump gets the hump — the president's heated exchange with the press earlier in which he lashed out at various journalists features on the front of the metro. a horrific story about a war hero fighting for his life in hospital after burglars viciously battered him in his home and left him to die is on the front of the mirror. the telegraph leads with an interview with prince charles ahead of his 70th birthday tomorrow. he promises not to be a "meddling" king.

and that interview on the front of the express. so much to discuss and let star in the us because of the midterm elections perhaps dominate the front pages in the wake of the democrats winning the house of representatives and the republicans being so successful in the senate. so an interesting headline in the guardian, i will start with you because it is your paper, jim. donald trump issues threat of worrilow response. one might say thatis worrilow response. one might say that is one way of reporting it because he did also call for a kind of collaborative bipartisa nship approach with the democrats as well. if you listen to everything he has said in the few hours we have had since the results became clear, you would find him calling for a warlike response, the community come together and everything else you
