to boxing first, where emotional tributes have been flooding in for patrick day, who died four days after suffering a brain injury during his super welterweight bout against charles co nwell. as the boxing world comes to terms with yet another death, more questions about its safety are being asked. patrick gearey reports patrick day described himself as a nice guy with a fighter‘s soul. he had a degree, he had options and yet he chose to box. the sport he loved ultimately took his life. four days after suffering a brain injury in a fight against charles conwell in chicago,—day died surrounded by his family and friends. even in a sport defined by violence, such a tragedy produces shock. tributes from fellow

fighters fill social media, the most poignant that by his opponent, co nwell, poignant that by his opponent, conwell, on monday: pain in this sport is inescapable. i feel as though i pain in this sport is inescapable. ifeel as though i know pain in this sport is inescapable. i feel as though i know the guy because of the responses and the way people have written about him, you know? and like i said, last thursday i'll neverforget... know? and like i said, last thursday i'll never forget... they came over to me before the press conference with joe to me before the press conference withjoe higgins to me before the press conference with joe higgins and to me before the press conference withjoe higgins and he was so excited, you know? he was... he just... there have been other dark moments like this. patrick day's death was the fourth in a boxing match injust three months. something or there's simply too much risk in the ring for boxing to continue. medical association is right right welcome to bbc news — around the world consistently say i'm mike embley. there is no safe way to box. this is our top stories: after a visit from com pletely there is no safe way to box. this is completely avoidable and as long as the us vice president —

boxing goes on, then there will be turkey agrees to a five—day pause deaths and there will be people left in fighting in northern syria. with lifelong disabilities. britain and the european union shake hands on a new brexit deal — short of a full ban, some will call but there's doubt over whether the uk parliament will back it. for additional safety measures to be donald trump's chief brought in, such as a change to the of staff mick mulvaney told number of knockdowns allowed, but reporters aid to ukraine was held up those who know boxing well believe it to be ultimately a high—stakes for political reasons — then he said he hadn't. game of risk versus reward. if you look at boxing in the cold we do that all the time with foreign light of day, if you look at the facts, if you look at the way it policy. stacks up, there's no defence of it. fierce gun battles after the defence of it is in the ovidio guzman lopez — understanding of it. it's when you son of the mexican drug lord el chapo — is arrested. go and meet with people in a boxing gym in the worst part of the city, and you take their testimony, their tearful testimony about how this sport is save their life. those who run boxing say they'll work hard to make it say that and to learn any lessons they can, but this sport relies on the possibility of injury. it cannot avoid the chance of tragedy. it's a contradiction.

boxing killed patrick day, but in the words of his promoter, it also made him feel alive. patrick geary, bbc news. onto football and south america's governing body, conembol, have confirmed the venues for the finals of the two main club competitions in 2020. the maracana stadium in rio will host the final of the continent's premier competition the copa libertadores. the match is scheduled for 21st of november next year. the maracana was one of eight venues bidding to host the game, six of them in brazil. meanwhile, the final of the copa sudamericana will be played at the mario kempes stadium in cordoba, argentina. this year's finals are the first to played as one—off matches and not two—legged ties. there was one women's champions league match on thursday and it ended in a comfortable victory for last season's runners—up, barcelona. spanish international aitana bonmati scored twice as barca thrashed fc minsk 5—0 in the first leg of their last 16 tie belarus. the second leg is in

two weeks‘ time. we arejust over 2a hours away now from the rugby world cup quarter—finals. england and australia will start things in oita with some surprising team selections too. george ford has been benched by england whilst a centre who hadn't played international rugby before the world cup has been named in the australia team. colm harrison has the details. george ford may have been among england's most impressive performers through the pool stage of this world cup, but that clearly cut no ice with eddiejones when he named his side for the quarter—final on saturday against australia. the decision means that captain owen farrell moves from inside centre—back into the number 10 shirt with henry slade coming into midfield to partner manu tualagi. despite ford starting six of england's last seven matches, eddie jones had no qualms about dropping him for his biggest test as england

coach so far. well, i spoke to him this morning and obviously he's disappointed but he knows his role in the team. he's gotan he knows his role in the team. he's got an important role in the team and that's how we've spoken all along, we've got a squad of 23 and we look at it as a squad of 23, eve ryo ne we look at it as a squad of 23, everyone has a role to do and we've left a lot of good players, eight players out of a squad of 31, and they're all disappointed. but he's got a significant role for us to play. meanwhile, jones loop ‘s australian counterpart michael cheika raised an eyebrow or two himself when he named his starting 15 with the inclusion of 19—year—old jordan petaia for only his third. the first two, both at this world cup, were against uruguay and georgia and on the wing now the teenage queensland red will play a tier one side for the first time at outside centre. we didn't sit back and earmark this game for him to come and play at 13,

we just watched the games and made the assessments of each player as they went along. there were things we liked in what we've seen from jordan both on the field, in games and also in training. i felt this would be a game that would suit him. england and australia have met six times previously in world cups with three wins each, including one each infinals, three wins each, including one each in finals, but there's only room for one of them in the last four in japan. england will start as slight favourites. will know on saturday if they've justified that tag. colm harrison, bbc news. after that ireland have to do something they've never done at a world cup — beat new zealand and reach a semi—final. if they wanted some encouragement, though, they've won two of their last three meetings since 2015 and ireland head coach joe schmidt thinks experience will be key. there's a number of those players within the side that have contributed to a fair bit of history for us. obviously the first win

over the all blacks, first time we won at home against the all blacks, but a few other milestones along the way. a lot of those players that are selected were in australia last summer, were in south africa this summer before when we won in cape town. so the accumulation of those experiences together hopefully builds a bit of confidence, because you need to have some belief. you know, they're not a team that give you a lot of opportunity. they're pretty good at keeping the ball when they keep it and when they kick it, they kick it to put pressure on you rather than to give you a free shot. so you got to just adapt and adjust to what's happening in the game, and we've made a lot of changes since we last played them, so it will be interesting to if those changes work or not. "it's getting there" — that's andy murray talking about his hip injury and his tennis as he progressed through to the quarter—finals of the european open in antwerp.

it was a straight—sets win for him too over uruguay‘s pablo cuevas 6—4, 6—3. it's over 2.5 years since murray last won a title but he'll be favourite to reach the semis in belgium, with world number 2a3 marius copil next. gael monfils won't be repeating his run to the final from last year. he was a surprise casualty at the hands of 18—year—old jannik sinner. the italian cruised to the biggest win of his career 6—3, 6—2. it's his first atp tour quarter final. alexander rublev is one of two russian men through to the quarter final at the kremlin cup tennis in moscow. he beat egor gerasimov in three sets to join defending champion karen kachinov in the last eight. in the women's draw, there was a surprise as top seed elina svitolina was dumped out by veronika kudermetova. it was the biggest win of kudermetova's career, playing against a top five player for the first time.

hello. given that we've seen so much in the way of rain and some pretty hefty showers over the past few days, in manys parts of the british isles, you've probably forgotten there's anotherface to be had of autumn. it's the quieter, still, misty, sort of chilly starts to the days, and if that's the thing you've been hankering after, that ridge of high pressure will eventually topple its way towards the british isles, but you're going to have to wait until monday. no doubt about it, in the short term it's been this — the odd bit of blue sky and some pretty hefty showers, all thanks to a big area, not of a ridge of high pressure but quite the opposite, in meterological terms, a big area of low pressure and it's still the boss as we work our way through friday. some pretty heavy overnight rain quitting the scene from the south—east but lingering for a good part of the day through the north—east of england, perhaps into the south—eastern quarter of scotland.

following on behind, something a little bit quieter and drier for a time. showers predominantly there across western and southern parts and gradually some of them percolating away through the course of the day further towards the east. friday into saturday, the same area of low pressure and on the southern flank we may have another area of cloud and rain just skipping in from the near continent to get into the very far south—east. some areas will stay that wee bit drier, we suspect, but this banner of cloud will drag some rain across the eastern side of scotland into the north—east of england yet again, and elsewhere, there will be a peppering of showers. temperatures about 10—15 at the very best. and that temperature profile will be tempered across northern western parts given the strength of the northerly wind. on sunday, we see the same banner of cloud and rain slowly easing its way down into the north of england, leaving behind cold, bright conditions for the greater part of scotland and northern ireland in a straight northerly wind, so not overly warm. and even in the south, you'll have lost two or three

degrees, but sunday, a somewhat drier and brighter day away from that little occluded front in the scottish borders in the north—east of england, and we start the new week with that quieter look at autumn with the mist, the chilly start, some cold nights to come at least for a few days. there will be somewhat drier conditions to be had across the greater part of the british isles. watch out for mist and fog first thing, that could be a bit of an issue, but once the day gets going, a lot of dry weather, very little in the way of blue to speak of, maybe just one or two showers through the irish sea, and on the cool side despite the presence of the sunshine. tuesday still dry for the most part but you can see yourself — 00:12:42,992 --> 2147483051:43:06,211 waiting in the wings, 2147483051:43:06,211 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 more wet and windy weather.
