a moment of quiet reflection in the midst of what has become a fierce political dispute. john pienaar reporting. you can followjohn on social media @jponpolitics. i'm also on twitter. now on bbc news, sport today. hello, this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: late drama as leicester score a 94th minute winner to close the gap at the top of the english premier league. signing off in style — world champion lewis hamilton wins the season—ending abu dhabi grand prix. and despite playing what he calls the worst golf of his career, pablo larraza bal wins the alfred dunhill championship

in south africa. hello, and the welcome to the programme, where we start with football, and the news that leicester city scored a late winner against everton thanks to a var decision — keeping them second, and eight points adrift of liverpool. kelechi iheanacho was the beneficiary as brendan rodgers‘ side went behind in the first half, but jamie vardy got the equaliser and in the fourth minute of injury time iheanacho sent the home fans wild, and his teammates, with a great strike for the winner. listen, var has got a lot of grief since it has come into the league, and the referees as well. but i think today was a real positive for the referees and var. i thought the penalty we got in the first

half, when you see it back, probably wasn't, even though it was given in the game. so that proved the right decision. and of course, graham, he could have very easily flagged early on, especially that moment in the game so late, because obviously the linesman's flag had gone up. but it was clear to see it was not a penalty from the var, and it gets us the three points. no—one can say nothing about the attitude of my players, about their commitment, about their ambition to come here and to show a reaction from the last game, because the last game was not good enough. we know inside our dressing room, and we showed that, i have to say, as much as you can in that situation. they know what we are doing, but to be behind the everton football club and to bea behind the everton football club and to be a professional in this foot ball to be a professional in this football club, they did it again. freddie ljungberg's first match in interim charge of arsenal ended in a draw as they were held 2—2 at norwich city.

ljungberg replaced unai emery who was sacked on friday but arsenal's poor run continues. it's eight games without a win now in all competitions. they had to come from behind twice at carrow road. todd cantwell had put norwich 2—1 up in first half stoppage time, but pierre emerick aubemayang scored his second goal of the game just before the hour mark to ensure it finished all square. arsenal are seven points off the top four. i think we started the game extremely well. we need to see if we can create more chances 7 more goals, when we play that well. i think everybody says we need to welcome our transition games. we had the ball and they counted twice and took the lead. that is something thatis took the lead. that is something that is easy for me as a coach, i can see that, but we have to work on it. disappointing, but we have to work on it. wolves remain sixth in the premier league after matt doherty‘s equaliser against sheffield united extended their unbeaten run to nine games. meanwhile, ole gunnar solskjaer says

manchester united's league position isn't a concern after a home draw with aston villa left them ninth after 14 games. these boys will improve and learn from this experience. of course we, as manchester united, as a club, we don't like to be position we are in, but that is the reality now. we just ta ke but that is the reality now. we just take one game at a time. wednesday, we've got a big game coming up, saturday again, so these boys are looking forward to every game and sometimes the inconsistency will happen with young boys. to italy next, and inter are top of serie a after a 2—1 win at home to spal on sunday. argentinian international lautaro martinez scored both the goals to take his tally for the season to 13 in all competitions. inter are now one point ahead ofjuventus, while spal remain second from bottom. juventus have now dropped down the table after they were held to a 2—2 draw at home to sassuolo. the italian champions went behind after a goalkeeping error by gianluigi buffon. cristiano ronaldo then scored from the penalty spot to rescue a point in what

was his first juventus goal since october. lazio are a further six points behind juventus in third place after their 3—0 win over udinese. serie a top scorer ciro immobile scored twice to take his tally for the season to 17. in spain, lionel messi was once againt the man for the big moment as his goal with less than five minutes remaining saw barcelona return to the top of la liga beating atletico madrid 1—0. marc andre ter stegen kept barca in the match with a couple of brilliant first half saves, while gerard pique hit the cross bar just before half time but with the rain coming down it was the argentine who scored the winner to lift the champions back ahead of real madrid and sevilla. that result means that sevilla stay third despite beating leganes i—o at home, while athletic bilbao are fifth with a 2—0 win over granada, and osasuna move up two places to 9th after a 4—2 win at

espanyol. breel embolo scored twice as borussia monchengladbach reclaimed top spot in the bundesliga with a 4—2 win at home to freiburg. they're a point clear of rb leipzig and four points ahead of bayern munich who they play next on saturday. in the day's other game werder bremen scored late to win 3—2 at wolfsburg. ajax remain six points at the top of the dutch eredivisie after coming from behind to beat fc twente 5—2. noa lang scored a hat—trick in bizarre circumstances. to avoid giving away an indirect free—kick, the twente keeper attempted to head clear a back—pass. he inadvertently headed the ball against another of his defenders though, gifting lang his third goal. he'd already wrapped up the formula one world driver's title for a sixth time, but lewis hamilton ensured he ended the season on a high with

victory at sunday's abu dhabi grand prix. the mercedes driver led away from pole position and cruised off in the distance, untroubled by anyone behind thereafter. red bull's max verstappen was second, charles leclerc‘s ferrari third but the day belonged to hamilton who dominated throughout to win the 84th grand prix of his career — moving him to within seven of michael schumacher‘s all time record. pablo larrazabal has won the alfred dunhill championship despite playing what he called "the worst golf of his career". the spaniard, playing with a badly blistered foot, must be wondering quite how he won it. his final round in south africa included six bogeys and a double bogey. he managed to find some form on the back nine though with three birdies on the final four. that was enough to finish on 8—under par and win by a stroke. it's his first tournament victory in four years.

to win in south africa, you know, i have probably as many south african fa ns have probably as many south african fans are spanish friends. so, you know, this place is like my second home. ifeel a know, this place is like my second home. i feel a little know, this place is like my second home. ifeel a little percentage of me is south african. so... home. ifeel a little percentage of me is south african. 50. .. applause. so me is south african. so... applause. so too win here, it is a dream come true. now i can quit golf! you know, idid it true. now i can quit golf! you know, i did it all. day four of the second test between new zealand and england is into the second session in hamilton. england resumed on 269/5. they are moving along nicely. joe root is well—placed, he is unbeaten on 215. england 437—5. ollie pope unbeaten on 67 as well. new zealand are 1—0 up in the two—match series. pakistan will head out for day four of the second test against australia, shortly facing a second consecutive innings defeat. mitchell starc took six wickets as pakistan were dismissed for 302

in their opening innings before being forced to follow on in adelaide. yasir shah had provided some fight with his maiden century on day 3, but eventually fell for 113 with babar azam making 97. pakistan reached 39 for 3 in their second innings, still 248 runs behind. world number one judd trump is through to the third round of snooker‘s uk championship and moves a step closer to completing the triple crown. he thrashed china's mei xiwen 6—1 to go through. victory at the tournament for trump would see him become the first player since 2003 to win the uk championship, the world championship and the masters title in the same season. china's number one ding junhui is also into round three. he beat the cypriot michael georgiou six frames to two to stay on course for his third uk championship title. in the nba the miami heat are now 14815 for the season after they came from seven points behind at

half—time to beat the nets in brooklyn. goran dragic led the heat with 2a points, as miami shot at less than 40% but held the nets to just 41 points after half—time. the slovenian guard also provided six assists in a match that saw his side score the last 10 points of the game to close out the win. that is about all we have time for. just to remind you, the new england patriots are currently in action in the nfl. that hasjust patriots are currently in action in the nfl. that has just got under way. for everything else, of course, you can go to our website, where you would pick up everything you could ever imagine, trust me. that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye.

hello there. we have more frosty weather around at the moment. not exactly in the same place as it was last night, mind you, because although we have this cold area of high pressure just drifting a little bit further south, allowing milder atlantic air to topple around the north of that, feeding its way into scotland and northern ireland. so for scotland, nowhere near as cold as it was last night. with the clearer guys for england and wales, this is where we will have a widespread frost to start the day today. plenty of sunshine at least to begin with. more cloud coming in on the south—westerly breezes for northern ireland and scotland. patchy rain for scotland, mainly highlands and ireland. this cloud may well work its way down through the irish sea and into northern parts of england and wales, leaving the sunnier skies towards the south and south—east. temperatures again, 6, 7 degrees, a bit milder in the far north of scotland where we have the rain. that's on the weather front there which will tend to push away through the evening. we still have high pressure dominating but it is centred more

towards southern parts of england and wales. here there mayjust be enough moisture and light winds to give us mist and fog returning overnight and into tuesday. particularly across parts of east wales and the south—east of england where it could lingerfor a while. should be a dry day by tuesday across scotland, some sunshine here, and across northern ireland. sunny spells for england and wales outside of the mist and fog. temperatures again, temperatures 6—8 degrees. as we head to the middle part of the week, a weakening weather front heads into the north—east from the atlantic. the centre of the high drifts further in to continental europe but still light winds and clearer skies overnight to bring a pinch of frost for england and wales and probably mist and fog and low cloud, quite a dull day for some. not a great deal of rain on the weather front as it pushes

across scotland towards cumbria. quite milder here but cold where it stays grey across central parts of england. by the time we get into thursday, the winds should be pushing away that mistiness and greyness and fog and instead, an active weather front will bring heavy rain into the hills of western scotland. some patchy rain elsewhere and dribs and drabs into northern ireland, the far north of england still dry and bright further south with sunshine but windy weather together with that rain in the north—west. keeping the temperatures up and blowing milder air across the whole of the country could make double figures even across south wales and south—west england. turning milderfrom the north over the weekend. ahead of that, more patchy frost and fog before it turns wetter and windier later on.
