newcastle thrashed tottenham 6—1 in the end. eddie howe�*s side were five goals up in the first half, and added a sixth after harry kane grabbed a consolation for spurs. that result means newcastle up to third in the table, with spurs�* top four hopes taking a massive hit. they're six points off the champions league places, with those above also having games in hand. all in all, a terrible afternoon for tottenham. i want to apologise to everyone, because the first 25 minutes were not enough for this type of game. for me, it was unexpected, this type of performance. but when we changed the system, we played much better, so maybe my decision to change system was not the right decision. the mood is good but everyone has got a very stable and balanced mindset, we are never too high, never too low especially
12:49 am
in this running. we have got seven really tough games and we have to take each won one by one, i know it is very cliche but we cannot look past the opponents at moment and tick them off and see where we end up. there was a massive result for west ham too — they beat fellow strugglers bournemouth 4—0. there were four different scorers for david moyes�*s side and it would have been 5—0, if var hadn't ruled out a stoppage time goal. west ham are up to 13th place in the table now, jumping above today's opponents and putting a six point gap between west ham and the bottom three clubs. it has probably been one of our best weeks. started last week against arsenal, then we meet again in midweek, and we scored two against arsenal, scored four in this game and midweek as well. overall, a really good week. i hope we can build on. we certainly didn't start the season well, but if we finish the season well it will bode well for what we have coming up.
12:50 am
there's not too much to be said about the performance today. we will review and move on to the next game. there are clear reasons why we weren't able to compete with west ham today. it shows how hard it is in the premier league, but if you're slightly off and you don't cope, this is what can happen. we reset and we get ready to go again on thursday. serie a champions—in—waiting, napoli took their lead at the top of the table back to 17 points againstjuventus. juventus have leapt back up the table after their 15 point deduction for false accounting was reversed and they are in third place despite losing 1—0 to napoli, thanks to a stoppage time winnerfrom giacomo raspadori. angel di maria had had a goal ruled out forjuve about ten mins earlier. inter milan's win over empoli has taken them into fifth place. romelu lukaku with two of inter�*s three goals. la liga leaders barcelona are 11 points clear of real madrid after beating

12:54 am
she was just here to learn. after an hour, it looked to us like she would have to drop out. not in her mind. look at the finish. look at the woman who had been training while fasting through ramadan, who had never run this far before. sifan hassan with one of london's most stirring debuts and one of its very best finishes. and she has been brilliant! sifan hassan is the champion! when i see the finish line, i couldn't believe it was the finish line. i was like, is that true? and, like, am i in a dream or something? now, two british runners finished in front of sir mo farah. his pace was a little slower than he had planned but for the final time, he finished. i definitely enjoyed it. without the crowd, honestly, i would have stopped. the crowd kept me going. i kept pushing myself. well, for marathon terms, from london... this is it, this is it. thank you so much. thank you, thank you. every individual has a story, a unique motivation, and in greater numbers than ever, they took part, for themselves,

12:56 am
hello there. the weather for the first few days of this week set to be really quite chilly for the time of year, cold enough even to see some areas of frost, as we'll see in a moment. now, what's going on? the area of low pressure that brought some of us rain on sunday is moving eastwards. as that happens, we get these cold northerly winds plunging southwards across the uk, those winds originating from somewhere north of greenland. well, that's not going to be warm, is it? so, right now, we're seeing the colder air arrive across northern scotland. showers here have started to turn to sleet. did have a few thunderstorms around london and south east england, but they've cleared out of the way. rain is starting to develop into wales. now, temperatures for the most part around 4—7 degrees as we head into monday morning, but colder than that in scotland, where we'll continue to see those wintry showers driven in on gale force
12:57 am
gusts of wind in the north. further south, we've got this area of rain in wales moving across the south midlands and southern england, so turning quite miserable, and around the northern edge of that, there'll be probably some areas that see temperatures limited to around 7—8 degrees celsius. so, feeling cold, but particularly cold across northern scotland on account of those strong winds. now, those winds fall light as we go through monday night and we're looking at a widespread frost in the countryside. temperatures get down as low as —5 celsius. i think that could be quite damaging for some of the tender plants that gardeners may have out, so gardeners might want to pay attention to that. a frosty but certainly start to the down tuesday, the exception in northern scotland where we'll see those sleet showers continue to be driven in on the brisk winds. cloud will tend to bubble up to a degree as we head through the course of the day and it will stay chilly. 7 degrees in aberdeen, that's 4 celsius below average for this stage of the year. heading into wednesday, we still have pressure high to the north of the uk, so a reasonably dry and bright start to the day
12:58 am
across northern and eastern areas, but still cold, a bit of hazy sunshine. in the south and west, well, we start to see cloud thicken and it may well be that we start to see some patches of light rain arrive as those temperatures slowly start to creep up. becoming a little bit less cold is probably the way to think of that. it's not really until thursday that we get some properly milder air moving in from the southwest. but as that happens and the south—westerly winds strengthen, well, we start to see outbreaks of rain spread in and that rain looks to be quite heavy across england and wales, it's already been a wet month for some and more wet weather to come here, staying cold in northern scotland. that's the latest.
