and new regulations from cricket's governing body bans transgender women from competing in top level female competition.. welcome to the programme — lots to get through. but we start with football where wales�* hopes of automatically reaching next summer's european championship are over. they had to beat turkey and hope that croatia dropped points against armenia — more on that result shortly. as it happened, wales could only draw 1—1 with the group winners on a controversial night in cardiff. tomos daffyd was watching. soa so a frustrating night care for the fans of the cardiff city stadium. wales couldn't quite deliberate a victory they needed. in the end, a win would not have been enough, because

croatia managed to get the victory they needed to progress through to the finals, euro 2024. through to the finals, euro 202a. forfans, deep 202a. for fans, deep disappointment, 202a. forfans, deep disappointment, but all hope is not lost, they've still got the playoffs to look forward to. i was a bit disappointed. i think we deserved it. i really think we deserved it. i really think we deserved it. i really think we deserve death, but oh, well. how— we deserve death, but oh, well. how hopeful are you that wales could win another tournament? very helpful. we could win another tournament? very helpful-— very helpful. we could have aualified very helpful. we could have qualified earlier _ very helpful. we could have qualified earlier in - very helpful. we could have qualified earlier in the - qualified earlier in the competition, - qualified earlier in the competition, we - qualified earlier in the i competition, we didn't. qualified earlier in the - competition, we didn't. we relied — competition, we didn't. we relied on _ competition, we didn't. we relied on this _ competition, we didn't. we relied on this results, - competition, we didn't. we| relied on this results, which didn't— relied on this results, which didn't go— relied on this results, which didn't 90 our— relied on this results, which didn't go our way. - relied on this results, which didn't go our way.— didn't go our way. really disappointing, _ didn't go our way. really disappointing, really - disappointing, really disappointing. i think they played well. but they had lots of chances and unfortunately it didn't turn out very well for them in the end. but there we are. wales could have only dreamt of a better start. niko williams gave wales that will lead within the opening few minutes. the cardiff city stadium buzzing, that noise

damping down a little bit while news filtered through of croatia taking the lead, but wales kept creating chances. they were seemingly in control until a penalty was awarded to turkey. it seemed harsh decision and they made no mistake from the penalties spots and equalising i— all the final score. that wales will have a second chance via the playoffs, potentially to match as in march. they will find out which opposition exactly when the drive takes place on thursday. the drive takes place on thursday-— the drive takes place on thursday. the drive takes place on thursda . thursday. so, in the end, i draw in _ thursday. so, in the end, i draw in cardiff _ thursday. so, in the end, i draw in cardiff meant - thursday. so, in the end, i draw in cardiff meant that| draw in cardiff meant that croatia's result was irrelevant, but they did but they had to do. they when the drive takes place on thursday. so, in the end, i draw in cardiff meant that croatia's result was irrelevant, but they did but they had to do. ii—o did but they had to do. 11—0 with the only goal to secure the wind, which means croatia wouldn't do it and continue the record for qualifying for every european championship since 2004 and every major tournament since 2010. not to be for wales, who have to wait out there destiny. this is how the group finishes — croatia — in the end — comfortably taking

the second automatic spot. they finish four points ahead of wales, and just a point off group winners turkey. it means wales now have to secure a spot via the playoff route, the first of those games taking place in march next year. elsewhere, there was one other group matter to be decided, as first played second in group i. romania came out on top — beating switzerland 1—0 to win the group, while in group b — france's perfect record came to an end in theirfinal qualifier — as they drew 2—2 with greece. netherlands — who finish as runners up behind france — beat gibraltar 6—0. meanwhile, there was an emotional night in world cup qualifying as palestine were supported by more than 14,000 people for their match against australia in kuwait. the match was palestine's second since the start of the israel—gaza conflict. they did lose 1—0 — harry souter with the only goalfor australia — who are top of their group after successive wins. palestine are third. there's been a huge boost for

sarina wiegman and her latest england squad announcement. after suffering an acl and being out for a year — striker beth mead is back for the upcoming nations league matches against the netherlands and scotland. the 23 player squad also includes call ups for 20—year—old grace clinton and 19—year—old goalkeeper khiara keating. she is a character that brings positive energy, on—pitch and off—pitch. i think we have more players like that, but it's good to have back, of course, her experience, the way she plays. she's different than other players on the wing, so she brings different things, so that's good for the team too. so we have different opportunities again. so, yeah, i expect, on and off—pitch, that is going to give us some extra energy. in english domestic football, a premier league proposal to stop clubs bringing in players on loan from associated teams has fallen just short of coming into force. the idea was to prevent a club like newcastle temporarily signing someone from a team in the saudi pro league which is also owned by the country's public investment fund. 0ur sports editor dan roan was at the premier league meeting.

this premier shareholders meeting in this 5—star hotel in london, eagerly anticipated in recent times. club representatives to discuss, but one of the expected measures that people thought may well be brought and in fact didn't happen by the narrowest of margins. we've known for some time now that there are certain clubs that field there should be a temporary block, a ban on related party loans as they are known. that's where clubs can sign players on loans from teams that share the same owner. now it's known that the premier league were in favour of this temporary ban, it went to a vote earlier this afternoon, he needs a two thirds majority to be brought in, but in the event, only 13 clubs and voted for us and is seven against. had it been 14—6 in favour, the temporary ban would have been brought in and what this means is for example

newcastle united, you have an injury crisis, i doubt they can in the january transfer, look at the possibility of bringing in players that represent teams that have the same owner in saudi arabia, which is, of course, the pif, public investment fund, sovereign wealth fund of saudi arabia. there have been rumours that eddie howell may be looking at the possibility of bringing in former world player to help bolster his squad, he currently plays for al hilal in the saudi pro league and if he wants to if that's an option, and now appears that the could happen. newcastle united's owner had nothing to say on the matter though as she left the meeting. now to a huge shock in the davis cup — where defending champions canada are out — beaten by finland who have reached the semi finals for the first time. it did actually start well for canada — milos raonic, making his first davis cup

appearance in five years, beat patrick kauko—valta, in straight sets to put his team ahead in the tie. 0tto virtanen made it all square though — by winning the second singles match in malaga. the finn beat gabriel diallo in straight sets 6—4 7—5. and so it all came down to the doubles — where the pair of harri heliovaara and otto virtanen came out on top — beating alexis galarneau and vasek pospisil in straight sets to reach the semi finals. finland will play either australia or the czech republic in the semi—finals — they play on wednesday. new regulations from the international cricket council will limit the time taken, between overs, in men's white ball cricket to under 60 seconds. the governing body has also barred transgender women from playing in international women's matches — which come after a nine month consultation. and will be reviewed in two years' time. 0ur correspondent joe wilson has more. this has been and will continue to be a topic i think

which provokes strong opinions from many positions. it's a mode of issue. and what cricket is trying to do today, in line with other sports, are trying to do is to try and find a position of certainty and i propose perspective of fairness. to compete internationally in women's cricket you need to go through puberty as a woman. to put it from the other side of it i guess, there is now no facility to go through mail to female rent gender reassignment post puberty and then to plate women's international cricket. this does bring cricket broadly into line with the stance that international sports in general are trying to take on this issue. as we said, it is an emotive topic and it's one that has proven very difficult to find a position of clarity and fairness on. in a broader sense in terms of this issue of gender equality, i should point out another decision made today by the icc is that men and women umpires will now get paid the same whether they are standing in male orfemale international cricket. that appears to be a position of unfairness which is long

overdue being corrected. the icc also announced that sri lanka' suspension has been lifted. they had been banned in the wake of government interference in sri lanka's cricket administration — but now will be able to compete internationally again. the icc will however retain control over the board's funding. now to some amazing pictures from thailand where the stand up paddling world championships have taken place. attracting almost 900 entries from 52 nations, this year's event was the biggest yet with five days of competition in three different disciplines — sprint, technical and long distance — making up the schedule. the competition — which was first held in 2019 — is an annual event — organised by the international canoe federation and first held in 2019. and from racing on water — to a very different type of racing on grass. this is the inaugural edition of the mascot 0lympics involving characters from several spanish football clubs — which took place on sunday. there were six competitions

held including a 100m steeplechase and a 100 metre sprint — with the event taking place at the estadio municipal butarque — home to second—tier spanish side legan s. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. some changes in the feel of our weather over the next few days. tuesday brought temperatures generally around the average for the time of year. it was a little bit chilly in some locations. for wednesday, westerly winds introducing milder air and double digit temperatures for the majority. but then the end of the week will bring northerly winds and something colder. in the short term, wednesday morning brings high pressure

hello. some changes in the feel of our weather over the next few days. here and this cold front here, a wedge of warm or at least mild air. within that wedge of mild air, a lot of cloud, that cloud producing some rain at times, particularly across hills in the north and the west. that rain enhanced by a weather front in the north of scotland. pretty cloudy for northern ireland, northern england, north wales, the odd spot of rain. further south and east, a few brighter glimpses on what will be a breezy day, in fact, a windy one across the northern half of the uk. temperatures, though, in double digits forjust about all of us broadly 11—14 celsius. now, as we head through wednesday night, we will see this frontal system starting to journey southwards, outbreaks of rain with that. ahead of it, a lot of cloud, it is going to be very mild. behind that frontal system, we will just start to introduce something a little bit colder. it will turn increasingly windy, too, across the north of scotland. so here's our weather front for thursday.

it'll be moving southwards. it's a cold front you'll notice, that means the air behind it is going to be turning colder. so here's ourfrontal system — this is the dividing line ahead of it. a lot of cloud through the day on thursday. behind the weather front, sunny spells and showers. some of those showers turning wintry over high ground in northern scotland. gales developing in the far north here. it really will feel cold by the end of the afternoon. furthersouth, holding on to something milder. but by friday, all of us into these northerly winds, some showers which will be wintry, especially over higher ground in the north, perhaps even to lower levels in the far north for a time. some decent spells of sunshine, still 11 celsius in cardiff and plymouth, but most places feeling colder than that. in fact, when we factor in the strength of the wind, it will feel subzero for some parts of eastern and northeastern scotland. into the weekend, we stick with a chilly feel. there will be quite a lot of dry weather, though, and some spells of sunshine. bye for now.
