hello and thanks for joining us on sport today. another day another victory for manchester city, they beat watford 2—1 at vicarage road to stretch their lead at the top of the english premier league to five points. goals from leroy sane and riyad mahrez had given the league leaders a comfortable 2—0 lead, but a scrappy abdoulaye doucoure goal with five minutes to go made for a tense finale. in the end though pep guardiola's side holding on for a win that maintains their five—point gap over second placed liverpool. my feeling is after five minutes or ten minutes later the game was really good, so aggressive, some incredible saves, but after that we forget to win the position and our buildup was not quicker than normal and our chances that we had, we missed it, and, like, we didn't score the third goal and they scored, 2—1, so in the last minute everything happened, so in the last minute if they scored 2—2 it would have been a surprise. in the night's other games bournemouth are up to sixth

after beating huddersfield while ten man brighton pulled off a stunning 3—1win at home to crystal palace. shane duffy sent offjust before the half hour mark. and three goals in 12 minutes means west ham are up to 12th after beating cardiff. the liverpool managerjurgen klopp has accepted a charge of misconduct for running on to the pitch after his side's 96th minute winner against everton at anfield on sunday. he was fined over $10,000 by the english football association and was warned about his future behaviour after he ran on to hug goalkeeper alisson after divock 0rigi's goal in sunday's merseyside derby. the german had already apologised for the incident and has now stressed it won't happen again. ido i do think that anybody thought it's massively wrong or whatever. but even the referee, they were surprised themselves, probably, that
1:47 am
somebody was running in that direction. so it is quite difficult. there is nothing to say about it. it happened. no problem with that. it's fine. let's carry on. russian athletes will remain banned from international competitions after the iaaf upheld the country's suspension into 2019. athletics‘ governing body banned russia in november 2015 because of evidence of state—sponsored doping. 0ur sports correspondent alex capstick was at the council meeting in monaco where the ban was extended. no great surprise that the iaaf meeting at their base in monaco has upheld the band. nine times they have looked into this issue, nine times they have decided against reinstating russia. they are determined not to blink until the russians have met all the conditions laid out in what they call their roadmap. the key issue in all of this is the sample is locked inside moscow's anti—doping laboratory. there was access to those examples
1:48 am
—— they want access to those levels before they can consider lifting the ban. it was iaaf at odds with groups like the international olympic committee who this year welcomed back russia after leaving them out of the pyeongchang winter games. and with a wada who in september did something similar. athletics is immovable. i have been talking to the president of iaaf, lord coe. immovable. i have been talking to the president of imf, lord coe. our philosophy from the very outset has been can we separate the clean athletes from the tainted system? so over 30 russian athletes are competing internationally. they are competing internationally. they are competing as neutrals. the remainder of that journey, which competing as neutrals. the remainder of thatjourney, which will be the reinstatement of the athletics federation, will depend on the full completion of that criteria. the big question, of course, is how long can this go on for? the russians have promised a wider that they will make available the samples in the lab by
1:49 am
the end of this year and assemble themselves by the middle of next year —— one. that was good enough for wider but iaaf is less convinced that they will deliver on those assurances. the kenyan marathon runner eliud kipchoge, and jumper caterine ibarguen of colombia won the iaaf men's and women's athletes of the year at a ceremony in monaco on tuesday. kipchoge, who shattered the world marathon record by 78 seconds in berlin earlier this year received the award for the first time. kipchoge's performance was the biggest improvement in the marathon since derek clayton in 1967. the biggest day in my life and it is really a big thing throughout my career. i am really a big thing throughout my career. iam happy really a big thing throughout my career. i am happy for those who believed in my story about working ha rd believed in my story about working hard andi believed in my story about working hard and i am believing in myself. a whole generation believes in themselves. and trusting what
1:50 am
they're doing. then they can more. —— then they can achieve more. also honoured for the first time was caterine ibarguen, who was unbeaten in all eight of her triple jump competitions — her triple jump win in rabat was the longest in the world in 2018. to the third and deciding test match between pakistan and new zealand in abu dhabi. the visitors were bowled out for 274 on day two. azhar ali then lead the response for the hosts — unbeaten on 62 for his third half—century of the series to put pakistan in the driver's seat — they ended the day three wickets down trailing by 135 runs. after australia and india drew their three—match twenty20 series, the two sides have their sights set on the four match test series which begins on thursday at the adelaide oval. in the build up, all rounder mitchell marsh has been responding to a lot of criticism particularly from former test legend geoff lawson — who said marsh should be left out by the selectors. hello. how are you? look, his
1:51 am
comments are his comments, that is his opinion. all i can focus on is preparing for this test match and preparing for this test match and preparing well for the summer, doing my best. that is all i can do. people are going to say what they are going to say. but i am looking forward to seeing him. india have never won a series in australia so the hosts are still favourites to win the four—test series according to batsman ajinkya rahane — even without steve smith and david warner who were banned for a year in the aftermath of march's ball—tampering scandal in south africa. i feel anything, the players ifeel anything, the players at i feel anything, the players at home are i feel anything, the players at home a re really i feel anything, the players at home are really good. australia still the favourite to win the series. we're not going to take lightly at all. yes they miss steve and david warner, but you see their bowling, they have a really good bowling attack. i feel to win the test
1:52 am
series can be test matches you need to have a good bowling attack. i still feel that australia is the favourite. winning one gold medal at the winter olympics is tough enough, but ester ledecka completed a unique achievement in 2018. her nomination for the bbc‘s world sport star award comes after she won gold in the women's super giant slalom on borrowed skis no less and then days later won the parallel giant slalom on her snowboard. details of how you can vote comes after we see why the 23—year—old czech is on our shortlist. music plays. you can vote for your favourite

leading 3—1 over mark king in only 50 minutes. he closed out victory 6—2 in york and will meetjoe perry in the last 16. ding junhui is also through to the last 16. he came through the all chinese battle against zhou goo—dong by six frames to four. that is all the time we have left for now. 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. yesterday was a lot colder for many of us and in fact temperatures dipped below freezing quite readily after dark across scotland, so we awake to a hard frost with freezing fog. for many, the cloud has rolled in over the last 12 hours, introducing a milder theme in southern areas but when that mild air comes into cold air we have seen some wintry issues over
1:55 am
the hills of wales. they will move into the hills of northern england and perhaps the midlands, southern scotland for the rush. a hard frost in the north. that is where we got that area of transition where we could have icy conditions and some snow over the hills. further south it will be quite grey hill fog because we have a lot of low cloud. low—level fog will clear eventually in the north and then it is bright and dry for many of us, much more cloud through the day ahead with outbreaks of rain, hill snow for scotland in the afternoon because we hang on to that cold air. further south it is milder. that mild air will continue with us through wednesday night with yet more atlantic weather systems running in. this time they are dragging the mild air right across scotland as well so temporarily we lose that cold air here through the course of thursday but we pick up the cloud. outbreaks of rain and that may ease for a time but there is more to come from the west later. there will be leaden skies for many. brighter perhaps in northern and eastern areas and it a mild day for scotland included
1:56 am
northern ireland. however, the rain is the next developing area of low pressure and that could turn out to be a deep area of low pressure with potentially disruptive wind and it will pull in some cold air to northern scotland as well. a lot to think about for friday. there is more heavy rain, the potential for blizzards in the north of scotland and the risk of severe gales. gusts reaching 70 or 80 miles an hour. that is through the course of friday. from the start of friday through to the end it looks like a windy day across the board. that area of cloud and rain in the north turns to snow in the hills and possibly wintry across the pennines as well and a windy day throughout. there will be peaks in those gusts of wind and we could have more rain waiting for saturday.
1:57 am
on friday it starts relatively mild but as we get the north—westerly wind in temperatures will tumble once again. and this is the weekend. as we go through the weekend we have further areas of low pressure to come in so it remains unsettled times and a windy picture. welcome to bbc news — broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley — our top stories. the ayes to the right, 311, the noes to the left, 293. more brexit trouble for theresa may — 3 big defeats for her government in parliament — but the british prime minister is insistent. the choice before parliament is clear. this deal, no deal or the risk of no brexit. two senior republicans briefed by the cia now say they are certain the saudi crown prince ordered the killing and dismemberment of jamal khashoggi.
