the first two—minute silence was introduced by king george v. thousands packed onto whitehall after he said the country should stop to honour those who never came home. the silence remains at the centre of remembrance a century later. but this year the royal british legion wanted more than just a pause. it asked that we all mute our phones, switch off tvs and close our laptops to honour those who defended our freedoms and our way of life. daniela relph, bbc news. that's it from us. newsnight‘s starting in a moment on bbc two with emily maitlis. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. have a very good night.

hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm gavin ramjaun. a shock in the tennis in london. alexander zverev defeats the world number one, rafael nadal, at the atp finals. the pressure is on for non—league harrogate, they're losing to portsmouth in the last of the first round fa cup matches. and silver for kadeena cox at the world para athletics championships, but the medal triggers a relapse of her eating disorder. having so many people around me in so having so many people around me in so many eyes on having so many people around me in so many eyes on me, having so many people around me in so many eyes on me, kind of pushed me to do more extreme things, which is frustrating for me.

hello and welcome to sports day. i'm gavin. first, to a real shock at the atp world tour finals. alexander zverev has beaten world number one rafael nadal for the first time at london's 02 arena. nadal looked out of sorts. he'd been struggling with injury in the run—up to the event, and he was farfrom his best, as zverev, the defending champion, beat him 6—2, 6—4. nadal faces a tough task to make the semi—finals, with matches against stefanos tsitsipas and daniil medvedev to come — but that's a great start for zverev. this means so much playing here again after winning my biggest title so again after winning my biggest title so far in my career here last year, this means everything to me, and you know, i was looking forward to this match, you know, thanks a lot for

all the supports, everybody who came out. it was... this is why, this is why the adversary is the reason why, the goal of the beginning of the season the goal of the beginning of the seasonis the goal of the beginning of the season is to make it to london, because playing in front of all of you guys, playing in the 02 is something that we don't have during the year. this is so special. earlier, tsitsipasjust edged out medvedev in their opening round robin match. there was only one break of serve, tsitsipas winning 7—6, 6—4. both players are making their debuts at the event and this is the first time tsitsipas has beaten medvedev in five attempts. he described it as one of the toughest, most important victories of his career so far. and we'll have more tennis at the end of the programme, when we'll hear from the biggest names in the sport. 0 nto football onto football now. we've had a lot of fallout from liverpool's victory over manchester city and the video assistant referee.

the man in charge of its implementation. former referee, neil swarbrick, told us today, that it could be 2 or 3 years until they‘ re completly happy with how it's being used. pep guardiola was very animated at fulltime following city's defeat at anfield. two penalty appeals were turned down — but he won't face any action from the fa for that — he insisted there was no sarcasm as he thanked the officials. swarbrick said he can understand the frustration that the system causes, but they are getting more decisions right. we have been at this nearly three years now, and obviously we have officiated 70 games in the league cup, fa cup, for the last two seasons, trying to get experience, but that is nothing like doing 10 premier league games every weekend, we realise that, and we know we will be scrutinised and there will be people looking at our every move, but the position i'm in, i'm comfortable with where we are. i've no doubt there is room for improvement, in terms

of speed we will get there, but it has been a good work in progress for me. let's have a look at some of today's other football stories. neil warnock has left cardiff city by mutual agreement. he took over three years ago, and led them to promotion to the premier league in 2018 — but they went straight back down again last season and they're currently 14th in the championship. liam cooper is out of the scotland squad for this week's euro 2020 qualifiers. the leeds united captain suffered a groin tear in the win over blackburn on saturday. ellen white is one of four players who will be missing from the england squad for tomorrow's friendly in the czech republic. she scored in their defeat to germany on saturday but is being rested as she manages a knee injury. and here's how they came out

of the hat for the draw. it's only just finished as, it finished with a victory for two time champions in sports myth, they took the lead early on, and easy headerfrom a sports myth, they took the lead early on, and easy header from a few yards out there. portsmouth equalised soon after. brandon with a lovely strike here. curling into the bottom left—hand corner, check this out, an absolute screamer from ronan curtis giving portsmouth a 2—1 victory. their reward is a second round tied thomas o'hara gets aren't able to emulate some other non—league sides who caused shocks at the weekend. this is how they came out for the draw.

the full draw is on the bbc sport website. there were more medals for great britain at the world para athletics championships in dubai today, golds in the javelin and the highjump, as well as three silvers. kate grey was watching. it's been another busy day for great britain here in dubai. 0n it's been another busy day for great britain here in dubai. on day five of these championships, with five metals to report on some of the first came from joe butterfield in the club throw this morning. she managed to win silver, but it wasn't quite enough to take the gold, and she has been recovering from a shoulder reconstruction, which took place last year. so an impressive performance considering. there was a gold then this evening thanks to holly arnold in the javelin throw. she was the defending champion, but she was up against the current world record holder from new she was up against the current world record holderfrom new zealand. holly arnold managed to pull out a huge throw in the third round, and

was unsurprisingly emotional at the end of the event. i don't mean to cry, but yeah, it just means so much to be able to like have that full title and pb at the same time, so yeah, i'm really happy. the second goal of the day went to jonathan broome happy. the second goal of the day went tojonathan broome edwards in the high jump. he's went tojonathan broome edwards in the highjump. he's come second in this event at the last three world championships, but today, he was victorious. he got a little bit tricky towards the end of the competition with a new —— few knock—downs, but he eventually held it together and held off the tough competition from it was pakistan and was pleased to be standing on top of the podium. there are so many different emotions, elated, relieved, proud, excited. a bit underwhelmed for my performance, but, you know, so many different things. and i'm happy that i've gotten to this point. katina cox had to settle for a silver in the 400 metres. she didn't quite have enough in the tank to beat off russia, and will have another chance to go for

gold in the 200 metres later on in these championships. there was another silver this time for debutante thomas young in a photo finish, it was an exciting race, but he just finish, it was an exciting race, but hejust didn't finish, it was an exciting race, but he just didn't quite have enough to beat off his rival from china. he just didn't quite have enough to beat off his rivalfrom china. he will certainly be one to watch in tokyo next year. after being beaten into second place, kadeena cox admitted that being at the championships had triggered a relapse of her eating disorder. british athletics said they would continue to support her, and she'd be running in the 200—metres on wednesday. yeah, it's been a challenge. i won't lie, it's been tricky, just trying to deal with managing my eating. having so many people around me and so many eyes on me pushed me to do more extreme things — which it was a bad thing, i bought a load of laxatives on my way out here, which is one bad thing. and then i bought a lot of sweets, so i binged... yet, unfortunately it's part of the battle in my head, so yeah. now, as promised,

we return to tennis. there may have been defeat for rafael nadal tonight, and for roger federer yesterday, but the two of them, along with novak djokovic, are still the main draw in the game, after so many years at the top. sally nugent spoke to the big three last week, and she asked if any of them had plans to call it a day soon. i think there is a question, all of us stop or none of us stop. it's how it seems. i think i am the first to go, i am by far the older guy. but it will be interesting, i think we are all not sure how much there is left. but the great thing here is i think we all enjoy ourselves generally on the tour. i think it's a privilege that we are still so healthy and doing so well and actually still being so successful. how mentally tough is it to keep going? it's an individual sport, you can't rely on anybody on the court. you have to take responsibility. be able to sustain the impact on the body and the mind.

andy murray. of course. can you believe he is back in the court and what is your message. what he showed to everyone is his passion and love for the game, after all the things he went through he is able to win again. and to play that well. i think very soon he is sending a strong message for the kids and i think for everybody. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are asa bennett, the brexit commissioning editor at the telegraph, and sienna rodgers, who's the editor of labourlist. lovely to see you. we will chat in a moment, first, a quick look through to the front pages. the financial times says borisjohnson has been given a boost, after nigel farage's the announcement that the brexit party would not contest any of the 317 seats won by the conservatives at the last general election, while hinting he might withdraw even more parliamentary candidates. the guardian also suggests nigel farage is facing calls from brexit supporters to stand down further candidates. the daily mail quotes polling experts saying the move might still not be enough to hand the tories a majority at next month's election. the metro shows the prime minister sipping a beer on the campaign trail, suggesting he's

toasting the news. the daily express describes it as a gift for the conservative party leader. according to the daily telegraph, the brexit party is in retreat. they say mr farage bowed to pressure from within his own party to pull the candidates after conceding that splitting the leave vote would put brexit at risk. the daily mirror decides to concerntrate on the floods affecting parts of the uk. they claim communities in the north have been let down by the tories, who have spent most flooddefence cash in the south. meanwhile the times also carries a picture of the floods and they report the hs2 rail project should go ahead, despite costs ballooning to £88 billion, according to a review of the scheme seen by the paper.

those are today's headlines, let's start off our chats. sienna, do you wa nt to start off our chats. sienna, do you want to kick us off of the front page of the independent? yes, so nigel farge because troops with trays to stop referendum, so very much nigel farge was saying if this is in order to stop another referendum from taking place because thatis referendum from taking place because that is labour‘s main policy, and live damn‘s who knows what their policy is at the moment for brexit, it could be revoked, but also the people spoke. that is the main intention there. and there is some discussion as to, i mean who exactly does this benefit? does this give, is this, does this mean there is a tory majority basically on december 12, or does it not, because really, they are only standing down in tory held seats. now, obviously, tories need to increase the number of seats that they hold in order to gain the majority, and actually, it really needs the brexit party to stand down in those labour leaves seeds in the north and in the midlands, and that

is where it's going to have a real challenge, that rat hasn't really affected this so far, but perhaps it could. but, the paper also says labour may have to co—operate themselves hear. yes, i think that's certainly the reaction among remainders on scene effectively nigel farage, someone who is touring the bbc and other outlets saying that the dreadful new treaty was the reason why he might as well field 600 candidates across the country and if necessary, stop brexit. making people think that maybe he was happy to have remain in place, because he hated borisjohnson's deal so much. now, suddenly, suggesting that he's 0k deal so much. now, suddenly, suggesting that he's ok with it, really. that it is strong enough for him to sit back and if borisjohnson wins a majority for the deal, so be it. given this, dare i say, a parent leave alliance, although, for roche because of a unilateral leave alliance, so self pardoning as emma watson would call it, maybe jeremy corbyn needs to do something

similar. that's the idea of
