of a fourth straight title. joe wilson reports. lando norris knew not what lay ahead, only who was behind. max verstappen starting from 17th, while lance stroll didn't even manage the formation lap. consequence — aborted start. confusion. some cars moved, others didn't. investigations began. eventually, well, they all started properly. norris lost ground straight away. see his orange mclaren, and george russell going past him into the early lead. rain, which had disrupted verstappen's qualifying, was gentle for a while. he moved rapidly. rain got serious. norris soon changed tyres. bad timing. red flag came, and everyone else did. can you see what's happening? verstappen had made so much progress on the resumption, this move meant he led, while norris slid further back. well, for the red bull team, it was a dream. verstappen completed a win that had seemed impossible. that felt absolutely decisive.

joe wilson, bbc news. so has interlagos provided the dutchman with the crucial stepping stone to becoming world champion again? well, verstappen was as astonished as those watching. you know, starting p17, i knew that it was going to be a very tough race, but we stayed out of trouble. we made the right calls, we stayed calm and we were flying. so all of these things together, of course, made that result possible. but i mean, unbelievable to win here from so far back on the grid, yeah. manchester united's new manager will bejoining a team that has had its worst start to a season since 1986, but they did at least manage to claim a point in their first match since ruben amorim was appointed. he doesn'tjoin the club from sporting until later in the month, though, and ruud van nistelrooy was once again in charge of the 1—1 draw against chelsea. united took the lead at old trafford through a bruno fernandes penalty, but only four minutes later a volley from moises caicedo meant the game finished all square.

it's an emotional rollercoaster. monday until today, it's been almost a full week where so many things happened, and my task was to steady the ship and to get results coming. but i think the players reacted very good on wednesday, and also today, and something to build on for the next two games. we knew that it was a difficult game for many reasons, we did the most difficult thing that, when you go down in this stadium, it's always complicated to come back. we score, we come back, and, after the goal, probably we try to win. the desire to win probably exposed too much ourselves, conceding some, you know, some chances. but overall, we are happy because we knew how difficult it was, this game. earlier, tottenham came from behind to hand aston villa only their second premier only their second premier league defeat of the season. league defeat of the season. villa had the lead villa had the lead going into half—time, going into half—time, but the home side scored four but the home side scored four

times in the second. times in the second. brennanjohnson's equaliser was brennanjohnson's equaliser was added to by two dominic solanke added to by two dominic solanke goals, with james madison goals, with james madison adding a late fourth. adding a late fourth. villa could have gone third villa could have gone third with a win but they stay fifth. spurs climb to seventh. with a win but they stay fifth. i keep saying we've got i keep saying we've got to stay true to the course to stay true to the course we're on, and whatever we're on, and whatever challenges we have along challenges we have along the way, we've got to dust the way, we've got to dust ourselves off and go again ourselves off and go again and this group of players and this group of players has done that. has done that. you know, disappointing, you know, disappointing, real disappointing game real disappointing game for us at palace. for us at palace. but with two big tasks of city but with two big tasks of city and villa to come, we made sure was finished in the match. and villa to come, we made sure by monday when we got back by monday when we got back in the building that, you know, in the building that, you know, we weren't going to feel we weren't going to feel sorry for ourselves sorry for ourselves and we were going to go back to and we were going to go back to being the team we want to be. being the team we want to be. we had again, good moments we had again, good moments and we had the chances to score and we had the chances to score the second goal, but they were the second goal, but they were more or less as well pushing. more or less as well pushing. and when they scored and when they scored the second goal with the second goal with the tight offside against, the tight offside against, one thing like tottenham, one thing like tottenham, it's very difficult it's very difficult when they are in advantage, when they are in advantage, when they are taking when they are taking and facing themselves for them and facing themselves for them was more difficult. was more difficult. we were close to score we were close to score the second one to draw,

but after the third goal, the second one to draw,

you know, as a captain and as a leader as well. i've not been at the best of my abilities right from the start of the series. yeah, with the bat as well. i've not been good enough. alex zverev won the paris masters title in barely the blink of an eye. the german will move up to second in the new world rankings. the straight—sets victory against the home favourite ugo humbert in the final tookjust 76 minutes, with zverev winning 6—2, 6—2 to claim the seventh atp 1000 event of his career. but for me, right now, it's about improving my game, and then the results, i will let them come. i will let the results come to me. you know, i cannot force the results. um, you know, i didn't come here this week thinking about, oh, i for sure want to win this tournament. no, i want to improve. i want to get better,

and i want to improve my game. so that's what i'm doing. and that's what i'm trying to do every day. coco gauff and iga swiatek both won their opening matches of the wta tour finals in saudi arabia, although in very different ways. swiatek beat the wimbledon champion barbora krejcikova in a decider after coming from a set and a double—break down, while the world number three beat fellow american jessica pegula in two straightforward sets, with her match taking just 75 minutes. the eight players are contesting a group stage in riyadh before the top two in each go through to the semi—finals. katie boulter felljust short of a third wta tour title of the year, losing in straight sets to the top seed diana shnaider in the final of the hong kong 0pen. the british number one will still head into the world's top 25, but was never in this contest, losing 6—1, 6—2 to the russian in little more than an hour. shnaider has now won all four tour finals she's played this season, across all three surfaces. england'sjoe marler has announced his retirement from international

rugby after winning 95 caps for his country. the prop left the england camp last week for personal reasons in the lead—up to saturday's eventual defeat against new zealand. here's a small part of marler�*s post on instagram. "i'm sad to say goodbye to international rugby, but i'm really proud too. time to exit one dream bubble to enter a new one. big love." 0ur rugby union correspondent chrisjones says the news wasn't too much of a shock. not a great surprise. age 3a, 95 caps. the last few years, it's kind of probably felt like every cap has been a bit of a bonus because he has retired from international rugby before and has been very honest about how hard he finds it going away from his family for long periods of time in camp. it's quite fitting that this week, his final week as an england player, he was embroiled in a controversy with his comments about the haka. always a colourful character, and despite those controversies over the years, he will be remembered as a highly respected team—mate and an opponent, and a fantastic loosehead prop.

one of england's all—time great front row players, five caps off a century and a british and irish lion in 2017. perhaps unlucky not to be a test lion, so he can reflect on a job extremely well done. and even though marler wasn't playing against the all blacks yesterday, that agonising defeat for england, you do wonder whether, if he had been on the pitch at the end, whether he'd have been able to lock up that scrum and give george ford the perfect platform. sadness that it's over for marler, but pride that it happened. and yeah, a wonderful career and one of england's best to ever do it in the front row. the moto gp championship will go down to the final round of its season after the defending champion, francesco bagnaia, won the malaysian grand prix on sunday. the race at sepang had to be restarted after this crash on the second corner ofjust the opening lap. bagnaia started from pole and a thrilling battle ensued with title rivaljorge martin. they swapped the lead several times over the opening three laps, before the italian

finally took control, staying in front to claim his 10th win of the season. but he still trails the championship leader martin by 2a points. from one motorsport to another. max verstappen's significant win at the sao paulo grand prix means that he has a 62—point advantage over his nearest rival, lando norris. if you want to do the maths, you can do it in your head, or you can head to the bbc sport website and app to find out more. but that's it. thanks for watching. bye—bye for now. hello. it's been a week devoid of sunshine for the vast majority due to cloud being trapped underneath an area of high pressure. that high pressure system stubbornly sits across europe for much of this week, but as it moves away eastwards at times and weather fronts get close by to the west, we should start to get

a bit more of a breeze as we go through the week. that will help to break up the cloud a bit more, so we should see a bit more sunshine come through later on, but that does mean some night time and morning fog patches are possible, and with southerly winds developing, it's going to be quite a very mild week — in fact, gets milder as we go through. notice on our anomaly chart, these deeper oranges and reds appearing in the north of scotland around the moray firth and also inverness — we could see temperatures six to seven degrees above average by thursday. it's here, though, we start chilliest first thing on monday morning after clear skies through the weekend. eight or nine degrees for many elsewhere. another very familiar picture there, rather grey skies, cloud trapped under this area of high pressure. 0n the edge of it, though, so we may see a little bit more breeze help to break the cloud across some of these western areas to allow some brightness through. but it's here there's a greater chance of one or two light showers. we could also bring in a bit more sunshine as well to the southeast and southern counties of england every now and again, but a cloudier day in the north east of scotland and temperatures as they have been through the weekend. now, monday night into tuesday, cloud sits in place.

where you get any breaks, temperatures could dip down into single figures. also, we could see some mist and fog with some clearer breaks towards east anglia and the southeast, but certainly into tuesday, not a huge amount change to begin with. but as we start to see this weather system get close by, it's not going to have a direct impact on us. but what it will do, it starts to bring in from the south more in the way of low cloud towards irish sea coast — could turn quite misty around these areas, damp and drizzly, too. and southerly wind also developing means northern scotland to get favoured for a bit of sunshine, maybe to the north east of wales, too, and still some sunny breaks possible towards the south and southeast. temperatures lifting just a little bit into tuesday. so it will be a mild day, fairly cloudy one. fireworks add a little bit of colour to proceedings in the evening for bonfire night, with most places staying dry and mild. as we go through the rest of the week, it's a familiar picture — high pressure to the east, but as these weather systems get a bit deeper towards the west, a strengthening southerly airflow. notice on our capital city forecast the temperatures lift. could hit around 17 or 18 around the moray firth

on thursday, but still to the south and east during the next few days, the chance of lots of cloud and some overnight mist and fog.

live from singapore, this is bbc news. the headlines... kamala harris and donald trump continue a swing state blitz as the us election enters the final straight. in spain, king felipe is confronted with frustration and anger from those affected by the flooding in valencia. forecasters say more rain is on the way. moldova's pro—eu president maia sandu claims victory in a pivotal election run—off seen as a choice between europe and russia.

welcome to newsday, i'm steve lai. as election day in the us draws closer, kamala harris and donald trump continue to focus on seven crucial swing states — the states that may well decide this election. donald trump is visiting north carolina, georgia and pennsylvania. while there mr trump told supporters that the us is a "crooked country" and reiterated his false claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. kamala harris is campaigning in michigan, an industrial state, and it's a crucial one for her to win. early on sunday, she attended a church service and then called in on a restaurant in detroit. here's some of what both candidates have been saying. here we are on the sunday before the election and i would ask in particular people who have not yet voted to not fall for his tactic, which i think includes suggesting to people that if they vote, their vote won't matter.
