the final bigot to fall. england were all out and the australian celebrations could start. england's hopes of winning back the archers —— ashes on home soil over but australia, the celebrations can begin for them. they have retained the ashes with one much still to play. a few nervous moments, no doubt, coming of headingley, we would be in a position again but i thought we learn from that. we held oui’ nerve, thought we learn from that. we held our nerve, fought really well against a team that fought really ha rd against a team that fought really hard that we knew they would. everyone is usually disappointed but you find yourself in a situation like today and you learn a lot about your team, but the guys around you andl your team, but the guys around you and i thought everyone showed a lot of courage, a lot of resilience, a lot of character. and everyone should be really proud of how we approached the day. we will look back at other points in the game and think maybe we could have been

better and most importantly, we've got to look forward to the next test match. get something out of the series. staying with cricket where afghanistan head into day 5 of their one off test against bangladesh as favourites to win the match — with the hosts needing 262 runs withjust four wickets in hand. rashid khan who picked up five wickets in the first innings has figures of 3 for 46 in the second innings in chattogram with shakib al hassan offering some resistance, the captain currently unbeaten on 39. charles leclerc made it consecutive formula one wins with victory at sunday's italian grand prix. the ferrari driver held off the challenges of both lewis hamilton and valtteri bottas, with leclerc becoming the first ferrari driver to win at monza, their home circuit, since 2010. adam wild reports. there is nowhere in formula i quite like monza. nowhere is the passion, the expectation more keenly felt than with those in the scarlet red of ferrari. it's been almost a decade since they had last home victory, all the high hopes now resting with charles leclerc.
1:50 am
at 21, he has the road ahead of him — but at monza, everyone else behind, including ferrari team—mate sebastian vettel, his hopes left in a spin. in trouble first on the track, and then for the way he got back on it. a penalty ending his chances. now leclerc just had to stay ahead of mercedes. where one is driven by lewis hamilton, that is quite some feat. hamilton would try again, only to find it ended any hopes he had. valtteri bottas couldn't catch leclerc‘s ferrari either, sparking wild celebrations off and on the track. monza, a town once more painted red. adam wild, bbc news. there are no words to describe the feeling. i think it's going beyond my dreams, a podium with so many people, so many red people, and

games in the system. but we set out to win this game because we dominated the game in possession, shooting goals, we played very, very well. in african world cup qualifying — liberia's teenage goalkeeper ashley williams saved a stoppage time penalty against sierra leone to send his side through. ethiopia also progressed to the group phase of qualifiers for qatar 2022 after an own goal from lesotho in their 1—1 draw away proved vital. tanzania and burundi finished level on aggregate with burundi missing all of their penalties in the shootout to crash out, and equatorial guinea's 1—0 win over south sudan saw them through 2—1 on aggregate. the quartet are the first nations through from the opening knockout round, which pits the 28 bottom—ranked countries on the continent in two—legged knockout ties. slovenian primoz roglic remains nearly 2.5 minutes clear of the field heading into stage 16

isaid to european tour so i'm over the moon. i said to my left, i am so happy to be the champion. but on 17 and 16, on 18 it was so difficult. i had a very, very good part of their servers nice to make the parts when it counted and that was the key this week was not the ball striking is excellent. i gave myself an awful lot of chances and that's my strength and i managed to keep this golf course under control all week. with the new nfl season underway new england patriots quarterback tom brady — now 42 — is looking to make yet more history this season. brady's patriots are out now hosting pittsburgh steelers in massachussets, while two of the favourites for the title this year the kansas city chiefs and the la rams both picked up wins. just enough time to let you know that nadal, 15—30, serving for the match was not website is a place to get the rest of it. bye for now.
1:55 am
hello once again. a pretty decent weekend for many parts of the british isles. however, i suspect the way that monday's going to start for some, that's going to be but a distant memory because if you are anywhere near that frontal system, which really doesn't want to move away very quickly from the british isles, then it is going to be a soggy old start to the day. this is how it's shaping up first thing with quite a bit of rain for the greater part of scotland, save the shetland isles, it should just about clear northern ireland in the first part of the day. it will be there to be had across a good part of england and wales. through the afternoon, we lose the intensity from the rain, save for the south—western quarter, best temperature of the afternoon about 16 or 17. pretty shabby for the time of year. the rain eventually clears away even from that south—western quarter, little ridge of high pressure building in. so that offers the prospect of a drier, brighter, chillier start to tuesday for sure. temperatures widely across central
1:56 am
and eastern areas in single figures. and it's a decent enough day but again, here we bring in some very wet and very windy weather to finish off the afternoon, across northern ireland and into the western side of scotland. we keep the sunshine further to the south and east well, we'll take those temperatures up by two or three degrees or so. from tuesday into wednesday, see the number of isobars we've got on the chart here, tuesday night, a really windy one across the northern half of the british isles and very wet, too. couple of inches of rain, top gusts around 60 miles an hour or so as we see it at the moment. this is wednesday, the weather front easing its way, weakening all the while, down and across england and wales. brighter skies following on behind but the wind will be a feature of the day, widely across the british isles. some of those gusts in exposed locations exceeding a0 miles an hour or so. temperatures — really not bad, at least the wind is coming in, and there's plenty of it, from the west and the south—west, helping to boost temperatures widely across england and wales, up to around about 20, 21 or so.
1:57 am
this little system was the remnants of a tropical storm that was sitting in the mid—atlantic and brings the prospect of yet more wet and windy fare, back towards northern ireland then onto scotland, to the north and west of england, the north of wales. again, generally speaking, the further south and east you are, the drier and finer your day will be. and warm, too, some of that tropical air really boosting the temperatures by this stage to around 22, possibly 23 degrees. once that system has quit the scene, then a high pressure is going to build in, not only for friday but for a good part of the weekend, for a good part of the british isles, though you'll notice it doesn't keep the front away from the northern parts of scotland.
