i'm not too sure then play the open? i'm not too sure and let alone the qualifiers. that must be gone as well. love talking to be done but it's injeopardy at the moment. because we are in the middle of november of the players think about their off—season and how they're going to prepare but it's very difficult to understand when you are going to be able to travel, so were you are going to be able to travel, so were ring times for everyone and fingers crossed whether it's tennis australia or the local government to come up with a solution pretty rapidly. we've got used to this, the is where ted is now, such a shame, and having the us of a behind closed doors. the australian open is where iconic events, has great matches. a shame to lose it. we love the freshness that everyone comes to the australian open with, always see superb tennis but it looks like partners, teachers cannot travel as well. whether or not it takes place i don't know. it's such a driver for

the economy as well. so many people coming in and commit not coming at all. it's what we are all facing. let's go vaccines. absolutely. that could save it all. as for us today go with the zverev. he defeated diego schwartzman but still not the zve rev we diego schwartzman but still not the zverev we saw diego schwartzman but still not the zve rev we saw two diego schwartzman but still not the zverev we saw two years ago. there is glimpses we rightly focused a lot on the second serve and it was ok. he did not serve too many double faults butjust he did not serve too many double faults but just when he did not serve too many double faults butjust when he thought he was getting momentum in getting the strategy right from the back of the court, the controlled aggression suddenly a concentration would go and he was up a set in the breaking he felt like he could run away with that and put his confidence, but schwartzman hung in there and did wa nt schwartzman hung in there and did want to get it to a third set. at the end of the day zverev had just a little bit too much firepower for schwartzman. the challengers are not going to get any easier. and so

keeps his hopes alive possibly but he's got to play novak djokovic in today's time. but maybe that will release the pressure off of him there. the key to any sports person has the yips and can do something so straightforward as serve, they do it all their lives and suddenly does not happen. if there is the pressure released, like you say, if you are not expected to win. if there's nothing to lose it if you can go in with that aspect he can blow djokovic off the court, well maybe not blowing off the corp. he can certainly win as he has done before. the winner of that could go straight to the semi final. but not an easy match. no. medvedev has been impressive, he was disciplining last year and impressive, he was disciplining last yearand then impressive, he was disciplining last year and then played very well in his on the match. i think novak djokovic is the favourite but it would be good to watch. x-ray much and will be back tomorrow with dominic thiem. all the details on

the atp sport website. british table tennis number one liam pitchford has travelled to china after becoming only the third ever brit to qualify outright for the international table tennis federation finals. he faces brazilian hugo calderano tomorrow, but before that, has had to cope with some very stringent restrictions in the country where the virus originated. i spoke to him earlier and began by asking how he's coped with not being able to play competitively during lockdown. it was definitely tough. the first few weeks of obvious that i just come off the back of one of my best tournaments, playing really well. then going straight into lockdown not be able to play for pretty much a couple of months, really. was tough. obvious and mentally and try tough. obvious and mentally and try to keep on top of it physically. i have a table at home so i could play a little bit but it's not like normal practice. but yeah, just try

to keep active and keep doing what i needed to do until i could get back on the table stop by and forjessica to be able to go ahead. turning to the competition itself, you played hugo, but if you beat him this time you will face the world number one. yes provided he wins as well. it's a tough draw, probably looking at the draw it's one of the best outcomes i could have had. like you said i've beaten him a couple of times before but it's a turban with 16 of the top 20 players in the world competing so nothing is an easy draw. i'm quietly confident and hopefully i can play well and create an upset, and then have another shot at the world number one. how tough a match would that be? for me right now he's the

standout player in the world. i think he's come at the moment, his level is a step above everyone else. i played him at the qatar open just before lockdown, so my last term in the final. you have a chance and i lost 4—2. put him under some pressure though. hopefully if i do get to play him again it could be a different story. best of luck. after germany's heaviest defeat in almost 90 years, many are speculating over the future of their head coachjoachim low. germany were battered 6—0 by spain last night in the nations league, a far cry from the country's world cup win six years ago. patrick geary reports. ra rely rarely has there been calls for such germanic panic. the german men's national sites of the don't lose like they did to spain. this was the worst beating since 1931. so the 6—0

in seville will surely have consequent is for this team and the manager. afterwards it was clear it hurts. it was an evening were absolutely nothing came up for our team. so therefore we are all massively disappointed and really angry. you can massively disappointed and really angry. you can see massively disappointed and really angry. you can see in our duels and body language that we did not show up body language that we did not show up tonight. back in 2014, his journey to the embarrassing inflicting on but are still a humbling there will never be able to fully forget. the journey to the top of the world was much couple minted and copied. trauma facilities, academies and philosophies thought to be the best around. so on german television last night they were shocked. he said this must have been how brazil felt and that semi final. one of the players in a game called defeat a neck blow. added he could lose to spain but not like this, not 6-0. lose to spain but not like this, not 6—0. there were warning signs of elimination for the last world cup of the group stage was marked out as

the end of the cycle. the manager survived. and even though buyer munich a european club champions there's the feeling that the national team needs a bit of oomph. you can see in the full identity team has not won, they hate that about the team now because they think the german national team should embrace a kind of identity and a lot of people in germany ineffable community saying why can't we be like france? or england where so we be like france? or england where so many talents coming out of the academies. in the german newspapers already talking about a future when joachim low has gone. the pain in spain may have ended his 14 rain but this is a major tournament. this is germany, don't count them outjust yet. i'm sure include fans are sympathetic. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening.

sir keir starmer says he won't allowjeremy corbyn to sit as a labour mp — despite him being allowed back into the labour party. he had been suspended by saying that concerns about anti—semitism in labour have been overstated. i was talking to the liver in pen and he was party chair underjeremy corbyn, inc. gave me his reaction. it's a strange rebuilding of trust where jeremy corbyn was suspended by who, people are still unsure who suspended

jeremy corbyn. he was then asked by the general secretary in the national executive committee to appear before a panel of the nec, independent panel within the structures of the labour party. this panel listened to presentations from the commode written presentations from jeremy corbyn. he answered a whole number of his questions which we re whole number of his questions which were put before him from the general secretary of the party. and this panel whose job it is to scrutinise in great detail the information before them decided unanimously to reinstate jeremy corbyn before them decided unanimously to reinstatejeremy corbyn package of the labour party. here we see the following morning, ithink the labour party. here we see the following morning, i think it was keir starmer that has said he will

not reinstate the width. what does that really mean? does that mean that really mean? does that mean that for the first time i think labour party history we have a leader who basically overrules the democratic processes, and overrules the rule book of the union. because of what he sees as his right decision. i think it's really damaging to the labour party, and what i've caned today from lots of people who have known about this, people who have known about this, people who have known about this, people who would not normally supportjeremy, people who wouldn't are middle—of—the—road. people who would normally probably go the other way or really be wondering what on earth this decision has been taken. how he actually arrived at this decision. what on earth as it actually mean? and how's keir starmerjust actually mean? and how's keir starmer just overstepped actually mean? and how's keir starmerjust overstepped this? you kind of really have anybody in a

position in the democratic party like the labour party best overruling everybody and anybody, elected members, regardless of what they say after a hearing. people watcher understand what you're saying there but sir keir starmer was selected to lead the party, he would say he is leading at and set the disciplinary process does not have the confidence of thejewish community, and thatjeremy corbyn's remarks had undermined our work in restoring trust with ge jewish community. he's been keeping us under review, he's been keeping that quite clear about that. will make it clear we wa nt quite clear about that. will make it clear we want to do within the labour party. and labour leadership whether it bejeremy or keir starmer. the membership themselves, and the wider community. we want to see recommendations is limited immediately. we want to see the end

of anti—semitism and harassment within the party, and within society in general. i think what we need to do is move immediately in that direction. what keir starmer is doing by making that decision that more has not given any decision what has made the decision, not giving any reason why he made that rule on that decision, that his office with the lack of trust comes in. ordinary members are really concerned about what on earth is going on. good evening. and for a brief culture step of weather for tonight and tomorrow and it's changing wind direction. we've had this milder atla ntic direction. we've had this milder atlantic south—westerly where extending that through the night for much colder northerly blast. arctic air. with our southwest we will have quite a bit of rain to the date that would drag its heels clearing

southern and eastern areas, heavy showers followed behind and look how this turns into snow over the hills and mountains of scotland as that colder air digs in. could well turn not just a colder air digs in. could well turn notjust a bit colder air digs in. could well turn not just a bit wintry over the colder air digs in. could well turn notjust a bit wintry over the hills here, but a little icy as well as temperatures dropping close to freezing. particularly in the glands in the valleys. for the south temperatures holding up just in the valleys. for the south temperatures holding upjust about because of the strength of the wind but colder night last night and lots of showers initially. that's northerly wind with us for the day tomorrow but a brief culture step because our we bring an average of high—pressure system model and sealed to have the next set of alignment with affronts to bring in clavier skies whilst staying. transferring to a strong diseased areas through tomorrow morning with lots of wintry showers still coming down of the hills of scotland. showers elsewhere potentially some heavy with hail and thunder and tending to ease in intensity and frequency as regrowth of the day to allow sunnier skies to prevail for most. but it will help the

temperatures, our temperatures and a thermometer measuring from four to 10 celsius and well done today. if you the effect of the wind in the morning it will exacerbate the chill. really feeling it across scotla nd chill. really feeling it across scotland in particular. parts of northern ireland and northern england. as they say a brief cold snap because by the time to get into friday we are introducing our weather fronts of the atlantic again to the west or southwest winds, clavier skies, bringing some rain as with a friend working his way southward through saturday and sunday. not producing a much rain but still a lot of cloud. as he comes into thursday night and friday will see a smattering of snow over the hills north of scotland because the hills north of scotland because the cold air is still with us. looks fairly wet there may parts of mainland uk public northern ireland drying up later on the scene quite cloudy and feeling damp and cold because we have all that cloud around. there were different weakening as it heads southwards on saturday. clearing the south eventually on sunday. the warnings are online.
