that's normal in basic school from age seven to 16, so there's no setting or streaming. teachers in estonia are given remarkable freedom in how and what they teach. the inspections don't even come into the classroom and there is relatively little testing. but it's that belief in levelling up that is crucial, the head teacher told me. if you are teaching a different level of abilities then you are segregating them and we don't want to segregate any people in the world, like we are doing in the schools. that is my personal opinion. this is one of the main things why estonia is successful. the students tell me there is a culture of striving in this young country. we have to be educated to get on with ourselves and i think every

estonian feels the need to be independently sufficient. the technology really helps us with ease of access. if you need study material, we have our e—library. maybe it is because there are so few of us that we want to represent our country. estonia's education success doesn't seem to have a human cost. music is in every school, studied by everyone up to 16. the teenagers here report being happier than those in the uk. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, tallin. that's it. newsnight is getting under way on bbc two. now on bbc one, time for the news where you are.

later, i have received the sixth one ina later, i have received the sixth one in a totally different and special moment in my personal life with my wife and my three sons. the usa midfielder megan rapinoe won the women's award after leading her country to the women's world cup title, scoring six goals in the process. rapinoe was co—captain at the tournament this summer where the usa lifted their fourth world cup. rapinoe took the trophy ahead of england's lucy bronze in second. herfellow american alex morgan came third. imean, i i mean, i can't believe i'm actually the one winning it's in this field. it's been such an encoder will year and women's football is lucky to have every single one of these amazing players every single year. it pushes me to be the best player i can “— it pushes me to be the best player i can —— is been such an incredible yearin can —— is been such an incredible year in women's football. the draw for the fa cup third round was made earlier — it's the stage when premier league teams join the competition.

and there is a real classic to look forward to. number 16. everton! liverpool already home to everton. so the merseyside derby is the stand out tie and, of course, they also meet this wednesday in the premier league. jurgen klopp‘s reds are eight points clear at the top of the league, while everton sit two points above the relegation zone with pressure mounting on boss marco silva. it isn't the only all—premier league tie, though — wolves will face manchester united at home, while arsenal will host championship side leeds at the emirates. holders manchester city are at home to league two side port vale. chelsea are at home to nottingham forest, whilejose mourinho's spurs travel to championship middlesbrough. full details of all the ties are over on the bbc sport website. meanwhile, there was a shock in tonight's tie

in the fa cup second round. solihull moors looked like they were cruising, 3—0 up with less than half an hour to go against rotherham. but the league one side staged an incredible comeback — michael smith with the equaliser and then the winner in stoppage time. 4—3, it finished to rotherham. they'll face hull city next. after a controversial 1—0 win over preston north end at deepdale. the game looked destined for a draw, until kyle edwards went down in the box in the 89th minute. substitute charlie austin made no mistake from the spot, sending goalkeeper declan rudd the wrong way to seal the win. it's a fifth successive victory for west brom — and sends them back to the top of the championship above leeds united. brendan rodgers has distanced himself from the vacant manager's job at arsenal. he's the bookies' favourite to replace unai emery who was sacked on friday, with freddie ljungberg in charge for the time being. the leicester city boss let slip over the weekend that he had a release clause in his contract

with the foxes. i have a contract until 2022 here. thus far, and i know managers are losing theirjobs, but the club have not indicated to me they are going to sack me. i think they are pretty happy with how we are working. like i said, i'm very happy so i have no need to look elsewhere. and i think logic would tell you — and i know sometimes this gossip and speculation is not always logical — but why would i want to leave leicester city at this moment in time? the manchester city manager pep guardiola says that sergio aguero definitely won't play in the manchester derby this weekend. the argentine striker suffered a thigh injury in the match against chelsea last month — and hasn't recovered fully. guardiola says aguero won't be ready in time to face manchester united at the etihad this saturday. before that, city take on burnley tomorrow. let's take a quick look at some

of the day's other sports stories. the dispute between former wallabies full back israel folau and rugby australia has gone to mediation. folau's seeking £7.5 million after his contract was terminated, following a homophobic message he posted on social media. adam gemili has been restored to the top level olympic funding programme by british athletics. he downgraded to relay funding last winter but has been moved back up after the world championships earlier this year. england are in action, on the final day of their second test against new zealand. the finished their first innings on 476, with new zealand chasing them. the home side are now back in the lead in hamilton. it is currently 155—2 in their innings. ross taylor and kane williamson with have centuries for

the black caps. the formula one season came to a conclusion this weekend. lewis hamilton had already wrapped up his sixth world title a few weeks ago, but he cruised to victory in the final grand prix yesterday in abu dhabi. our formula one reporter jenny gow was at the race — and spoke to us about hamilton's future, after rumours he could join ferrari at the end of his mercedes contract. anything is likely when it comes to lewis hamilton. he can do what he likes. yields all the cards. as a driver and formula i, he is hugely successful. as a brand, he is very important to formula i and to the macro mercedes want to do everything they can to keep him. the head of motorsport for mercedes, he reckons it when he 5% chance of him leaving to go to ferrari, and there have been chats about the fact lewis hamilton has met up with the ferrari chairman. that is neither been

denied or agreed to, so i suppose we have to watch the steaks. it is important to say at this point in time, lewis hamilton is doing his contract negotiations with mercedes, so contract negotiations with mercedes, so how much of this is generated by lewis to try and drive up his price, his likability, his contract details? and how much of this is actualfact? yeah, we wait and see. jenny gow there. anthonyjoshua says he chose to reinvent himself after defeat by andy ruinr and feels different going into saturday's rematch. joshua lost his three world titles to ruiz injune in a shock defeat. this fight will take place in saudi arabia, but the lack of a home advantage doesn't bother the british fighter. i don't know about home advantage because it's a fight, isn't it? especially at this wait, this

heavyweight division. wherever it is, i'm going to go with the mindset ofa is, i'm going to go with the mindset of a winner. it's a dream come true that onjune of a winner. it's a dream come true that on june one, of a winner. it's a dream come true that onjune one, i made my dreams come true, all this hard work and dedication i've been doing since six years old. it finally paid off and i know still have more history to do, and that will be december seven. can't wait for that fight! there's been a shock at snooker‘s uk championship — where world number onejudd trump has been knocked out. he was beaten in the third round by the veteran nigel bond — who's ranked 98th in the world. 54—year—old bond, who reached the 1995 world championship final, was 3—1 down in the match — but won five successive frames to take it 6—3. he's the man of the moment and i'm 5a. what am i doing? i have played some good stuff really. took a little bit to settle, but once i settled, i felt good out there. in tonight's evening session,

there were wins for mark allen and neil robertson, whilejohn higgins beat ian burns 6—1. now, she may not have won the ballon d'or tonight, but arsenal's vivianne miedema was a worthy nominee to be featured in the top ten. and yesterday, she showed why she was included. arsenal beat bristol city ii—i — miedema scored six herself and set up four of them. arsenal went top of the women's super league in knost ballpark to the work of the dutch woman —— in no small part. here's miedema. never in doubt for the dutch international. just too easy. miedema again. lisa evans!

it's another for miedema. mitchell! emphatic, prolific. brilliance from arsenal. yeah, absolutely incredible, that performance. before we go. now, you may think being a 20—time grand slam tennis champion means you'll be minted. and you would be right, because roger federer is not only made of money but the money is made from his image. he has become the first living swiss person to feature on one of the country's coins. the swiss mint has released these pictures of the very special coin being made. the 20 franc coin went on sale on monday and the website struggled to cope with initial demand. it will be followed by a 50 franc version next year.
