hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm sarah mulkerrins. coming up: time penalties at the russian grand prix cost lewis hamilton a record—equalling formula 1 victory. in another day of drama in the premier league, a jamie vardy hat—trick helps leicester to a big win at manchester city. but another late penalty from the video referee costs tottenham against newcastle. and there was no fairytale return to clay for andy murray — out of the french open in the first round. hello and welcome to sportsday. welcome along to the

programme this evening. tennis and football coming up on a busy sunday but we'll start with the russian grand prix. lewis hamilton started on pole, knowing one more win would have seen him draw level with michael schumacher on a record 91 race wins. but it was a frustrating afternoon in sochi for the world champion, as time penalties meant he could only finish third. here's our sports correspondent, joe wilson. these men control the russian grand prix. the stewards defining lewis hamilton's finish before he even began. they saw him practising starts in the wrong place — a dangerous place. park that for a second. commentator: lights out and away we go! the race itself began with the two black mercedes battling
6:34 pm
each other for the lead. hamilton lost it to valtteri bottas, and won it back. while, behind him, there was chaos. carlos sainz, and some signs. hamilton was first when his team found out he would be punished for the prerace errors. fancy telling lewis? the race itself, great little comeback from you. i didn't do much, ijust comeback from you. i didn't do much, i just held my comeback from you. i didn't do much, ijust held my position. never give up, was the winner's verdict. it's a busy day in the premier league. a hat—trick from jamie vardy gave leicester a huge win over mancehster city. city actually went ahead through riyad mahrez but the first
6:35 pm
of three penalties got leicester level. then in the second half vardy added another with a clever finish before adding another and completing a hat—trick from the spot. james maddison then scored this wonderful goal to make it 4—1, and though city pulled one back, leicester scored another penalty to make it 5—2. earlier in the premier league, another handball controversy denied tottenham three points against newcastle and leeds came out on top against their yorkshire rivals sheffield united. adam wild reports. rarely is the absence of fans more keenly felt than on derby day, especially in yorkshire. they haven't had a premier league derby there in nearly 20 years. but even without a crowd, such rivalry can provide inspiration enough. sheffield united looked almost certain to score here. leeds united's young keeper, with a quite illan meslier, brilliant save. an inspired performance made all the more significant when, withjust three minutes remaining,
6:36 pm
patrick bamford headed leeds a derby day winner, one worth the wait. at tottenham, waiting his turn, was gareth bale. spurs‘ star signing, still not quite ready. instead, he was left to what his new team—mates against newcastle. it was all going well enough. lucas moura putting them ahead. but try as they might, they couldn't find a second. and, for the second time today, the drama came late. very, very late. video replays here, according to the officials, showed this was a handball. callum wilson, firing in newcastle's equaliser. spurs managerjose mourinho, so furious he left. his players, just left furious. adam wild, bbc news. well, jose mourinho did come back for the post—match interviews but he wouldn't be drawn on the handball call. that's not for me to comment.
6:37 pm
fantastic performance, deserved the points clearly. so we lost two points. i think their goalkeeper made 11 saves, you hit the woodwork twice. you were fantastic, especially first half. yes, we were andi especially first half. yes, we were and i don't know, maybe deserved man of the match unless you want to give that award to somebody who is not a player. i think we have lost the plot with it totally, i really do and i think it loses the spectacle also. we are waiting around for three or four minutes, is it a penalty, is it not, and if that had been the boot on the other foot, i'm 1—0 up and i'm giving away a penalty like that, i would have been like, hang on a minute, this is ridiculous. so maybe we can do something about it. i don't know what it's like in the rest of europe and how it's interpreted but we seem to have these phases where we take everything literally to the letter of the law in the premier league and
6:38 pm
maybe we have two site now to it. —— we have to say no to it. west ham are at home to wolves later. match of the day 2 will have all the highlights later. there was a shock in the women's fa cup with everton knocking out chelsea at the quarterfinal stage. they came from behind to beat the reigning women's super league champions 2—1, valerie gauvin scoring to book everton‘s place in the semis, where they will meet birmingham on wednesday. their match against brighton went to penalities, after it was 2—2 after extra time. 4—2 it ended on spotkicks. and manchester city 2—1 win over leicester means that they will face arsenal in thursday's second semifinal. rangers continued their unbeaten start to the scottish premiership season with a 5—1 demolition of motherwell. rangers were 3—0 up by half—time at fir park, with james tavernier scoring twice from the penalty spot. cedric ittens also found the net twice after the break to ensure rangers will remain top of the table regardless
6:39 pm
of today's other results. elsewhere, celtic were 3—0 winners at home to hibernian to stay second. and aberdeen beat ross county by the same scoreline. andy murray is out of the french open after his first round defeat to stan wawrinka. murray looked barely a shadow of the player who reached the finalfour years ago, beating wawrinka in the semis that year too. the swiss 16th seed, who himself has struggled with injury in the last couple of years, took advantage of a poor serving day from murray, hitting a stream of winners in the straight sets victory. the match lasted a little over an hour and a half. before reaching the semi finals last year, british number one johanna konta hadn't won a match at roland—garros. she lost the first set against american teenager coco gauff and it's on serve in the second.
6:40 pm
two games all there. dan evans was in action against japan's kei nishikori. it was a hard—fought battle lasting almost four hours. evans took it to a tense decider, but nishikori broke to win 6—4 to go through to the second round. evans has lost on all three appearances in the main draw at roland—garros. county champions essex claimed the first piece of silverware from the english domestic summer, defying somerset in the bob willis trophy final. they had to bat out the final day at lord's to win, and did just that, taking the final courtesy of their superior first innings total. southern vipers won the inaugural rachael heyhoe flint trophy, beating northern diamonds by 38 runs. charlotte taylor took six wickets to finish the tournament as the leading wicket—taker. france's julian alaphilippe won the men's road race on the final day
6:41 pm
of the world championships in imola. great britain's tom pidcock came 42nd, more than nine minutes down. a little earlier, i got the reaction of chris boardman, former world champion time trialler and part of the bbc commentary team. he's a flamboyant character, incredible at reading the race, he made one move in the whole race and there was about 300 metres of road where he could have made it and everybody knows he will do it and it still makes it work so it will be a popular winch and that will he or won't he all the way down made it fantastic. he was really emotional, you could see what it meant to him. in terms of the british hopes today? their focus tends to be the tour de france which he has been successful m, france which he has been successful in, then it's a month off and it's difficult to get up again for the world is so it's a young team, tom mid—court is the main writer, with a
6:42 pm
lap to go he was in the top 30. a lot of top names went out before him, he will be happy on that. 0nly 21 and he will be on the podium one day. overall for the championships and how the british writers did? to have the championships at all is remarkable. i think imola did the championships proud, six weeks notice they got to resurface the roads and it was spectacular. fabio quartararo has moved to the top of the motogp championship after winning the catalunya grand prix. valentino rossi was challenging the frenchman for victory in barcelona, but he crashed out with nine laps to go. quartararo, who'd started from pole, held on for his third win of the season to move top of the standings. that's all from sportsday. we will see you again in the next hour. goodbye.
6:43 pm
hey, welcome to click. don't know about you, but the weather has turned very autumnal around these parts, and as expected, the restrictions are being tightened up as the numbers here rise. here we go, then. 0n the way into winter. lara, how are you doing? i have actually been a little bit under the weather this week. don't worry, not coronavirus, but it did get me thinking that if i'm ever unwell it would be quite handy to just have a spare version. so i have been working on a virtual version of me. i mean, we are a
6:44 pm
technology programme. yeah, we are, but we've always said is that the danger, right? if ever they create a convincing version of us, then we're out of a job, right? hi, spencer, i'm virtual lara. ok, you may not be fooled, but do you think anyone else will notice? what was that?! where did that come from? i was created by ai video generation platform synthesia. it seems that anyone can have a virtual them. what do you think? i think that is absolutely incredible. i think the only thing that didn't fool me was the lip sync. your mouth was doing something weird — like you had just come out of the dentist or something. but that is brilliant. can we bring up the real lara? what have they done here? have they basicallyjust reanimated your mouth? yes, well, it was quite frightening to see how wonky my mouth actually is. i've never noticed that before. but the purpose of this is that it could be used for something like corporate training videos where a familiar face or even calling people by their names could be helpful. 0k, how did you make it?
6:45 pm
well, i had to make a video of me presenting the exact same thing five times. now, to do this, i needed to follow their guidelines, which included sitting rather still, not moving my arms and not getting too animated — which, for me, felt rather unnatural. so i was expecting the end result to be a little bit strange as a result of that. but once you have made that video, they are able to use it with all your different mouth movements to add whatever sound you have given them, making it look as though you're actually saying it. now, they can do it using one of their voices or your own. and it also means that there is the opportunity to be able to give you different accents or even make you speak in different languages. american accent: hi, spencer, i'm the new virtual lara. she speaks spanish. si, si, excellent spanish. thank you. somebody who can tell us a little bit more about the purpose of this is synthesia's ceo, victor ripabelli. hello, victor. now, we have looked at your technology before on the programme.
