excited, and that it suited my passion and my drive to push this group of players and to be part of this federation with such a strong record in the last tournaments, to pushit record in the last tournaments, to push it over the line and to try to put a second star on the shirt. well, there you go. we know he has a very experienced operator in the media, because he is manage some of the biggest teams in europe, so there you go. he starts by quoting pele, saying what a great place wembley is. a smart move. he was alluding to the fact he will have to adapt to being an international manager. one thing is the fact that he doesn't have an awful lot to do. england's first matches in march. we know he has a very active brain and a sharp footballing mind. i hope he doesn't get bored! a lot of england managers. theirjob thinking, can they find enough good players? i

guess the issue for tuchel was which good players he leaves out, but that's a problem with a lot of potential. that's a problem with a lot of potential-— that's a problem with a lot of otential. . , , ., potential. certainly is. thanks, joe. and you can keep watching that press conference over on the bbc news channel. still to come on today's programme: olympians re—united. dame laura kenny catches up with former great britain team—mate katie archibald, who's preparing to compete again after missing out on the paris olympics. first it's time to join our colleagues with the news where you are. thanks, anna, and a very warm welcome to bbc london. good afternoon, i'm thomas magill. a woman living in sheltered housing in north london says she is afraid her council is waiting for her "to die" before carrying out repairs to where she lives. sharon lawson says the floors in her

bounds green flat are crumbling. haringey council has apologised and vowed to get the work done "as soon as possible". anna o'neill reports. 72—year—old sharon is a tenant in a precarious position. now, you must be careful as you come up the stairs, because it's got a post here. it says "use with caution and do not overload". well, it's a certain weight, but of course, i don't know what the weight is, and they don't know either. a year ago, the floor in herfirst—floor sheltered housing flat started to crumble. so i got up in the night, and my foot went through the floor. if i need an ambulance or police, they won't be able to come in here because of their weight. she reported it to her local council, who sent a number of surveyors round to look, each agreeing with the last that the floor was dangerous. but so far, no repairs have been carried out. and this is the balcony.

so again, you've got the "caution do not overload". the balcony started rotting three years ago and can't be used. sharon has been told she can't use the washing machine in case the vibrations weaken the floor further. potentially, it could go through the ceiling, yes. it could go through, potentially, because it's collapsing here. she's also been told not to have family and friends round for the same reason. for any other person but myself, you are overloading, really, because it's become worse, no exaggeration. as you can see here, it's collapsing. haringey council has apologised, but said the case had been held up for reasons beyond its control. it said in order to do the work, sharon would have to move out.

all sharon wants is to live in a safe home. this is what i've have said, "you're waiting for me to die". that's my wording to haringey council. i want a decent quality of life in the years i've got, and somewhere else, a nice, new home. some underground workers including drivers are set to strike next month in a dispute over pay. the union aslef says train drivers and management grade staff will walk out on the 7th and 12th of november. rmt members including station and signalling staff will also walk out on dates between i and 8 nov. an inquestjury�*s found "multiple failings" contributed to a colombian man taking his own life at an immigration detention centre near heathrow. the coroner at frank ospina's inquest says he was let down

by the state "in numerous ways" after he died at harmondsworth last year. the 39—year—old was sent there after he illegally took a job whilst waiting to start a university course in spain. the company that runs the centre says it's working with the home office and a health provider to address the coroner's concerns. the london assembly's calling on the mayor to do more to chase up drivers who fail to pay ultra low emission zone fines. latest figures show that more than £370 million is owed in unpaid penalty charge notices. in a letter to sadiq khan, the london assembly called for the collection of unpaid fines to be ramped up so investment in transport services does not suffer. like i said, i got made it very clear that it is about football and

is excited to be very quickly because i was not sure before we had this first talk if this is the world —— make role for me because this is the schedule and it is very different from club football. we found so many similarities are many things that suited my approach and my hunger to achieve special things. i always wanted to come back here to england and that was my big goal, i have the best memories of the coaches, the league and the players. the attitude towards the game and from the supporters that shape the players and the character of the players, it was one of a kind. that is why the offer came as the absolutely right time. we kept the momentum and within weeks, we found a vision to share the project and adventure that i am very happy to be a big part of and now, adventure that i am very happy to be a big part ofand now, i adventure that i am very happy to be a big part of and now, i have to live up to it of course i know that

until march and i will only show respect to my new role, to the country and of course, to every moving anthem but as this is a new update, i will take time for this decision. welcome back, congratulations. i have the pressure and it has a team that the _ have the pressure and it has a team that the england job rings. without something on your mind when mind when _ something on your mind when mind when parsonage decided not to take this role _ this role because a spotlight on private light —— —— pass managers decided _ private light —— —— pass managers decided not — private light —— —— pass managers decided not to take on this row because — decided not to take on this row because of a spotlight on private life and — because of a spotlight on private life and things like that? i am up for a big challenge, i am up for the task and i am up for the mid—18 months to work with his crew and be that these are all the reasons to jump in. the pressure on the personal side and the pressure that

comes from here or could arise if things do not go so well is never part of the decision making and i do not feel it so much. i feel it of course in the price is always a privilege and my love and passion for the game is always much more than the downside of it.— than the downside of it. from watchin: than the downside of it. from watching england _ than the downside of it. from watching england at - than the downside of it. from watching england at recent i watching england at recent tournaments, how do you think you can make _ tournaments, how do you think you can make the difference and turn the same _ can make the difference and turn the same as— can make the difference and turn the same as a _ can make the difference and turn the same as a trophy winners?| can make the difference and turn the same as a trophy winners?— same as a trophy winners? i think first of all. _ same as a trophy winners? i think first of all, we _ same as a trophy winners? i think first of all, we are _ same as a trophy winners? i think first of all, we are there. - same as a trophy winners? i think first of all, we are there. the - first of all, we are there. the group of players proved that they are there. the consistency of quarterfinal, semifinal, finals is impressive and it shows that we have players who compete in the strongest leagues in the world day in, day out so we have the ingredients, and to be fully trust that this is the moment to install may be from club football, patterns, behaviours, principles that may be help to push
