and in the other early kick—off, shakhtar donetsk came from behind to leave young boys still without a point. well, here is how the table looks. after four matches, liverpool leading the way with maximum points from their four games. aston villa are just inside the automatic qualification places. arsenal dropped to 13th, off that page, seven points from a possible 12. in other news, former manchester city defender benjamin mendy will receive the majority of his unpaid salary from the premier league club. the former france international was cleared of rape and sexual assault last year, having first been charged in august 2021. he was suspended without pay until he left city in june 2023. an employment tribunaljudge ruled that city were entitled to withhold his salary while he was in custody, but that an fa suspension meant he was unable to fulfil his contractual obligations and he should therefore be paid.

in a statement on social media, mendy said, "having had to wait for three years for my wages, i'm delighted with the decision and sincerely hope that the club will now do the honourable thing and pay the outstanding amounts without further delay so that i can finally put this difficult part of my life behind me". manchester city, meanwhile, said they will not be commenting. the international olympic committee says algerian boxer imane khelif is preparing legal action overfresh media reports that have led to more questioning of her eligibility to have competed in the female category at this summer's paris olympics. the report, which the ioc says are about unverified documents whose origin cannot be confirmed, have led to renewed controversy over the gold medal that khelif won. the ioc has repeatedly defended the boxer�*s right to participate in the female category. khelif won women's welterweight gold in paris, a year after being disqualified from the world championships for reportedly failing

gender eligibility tests. the world championships were run by the russian—led international boxing association, which was later stripped of world governing body status by the ioc over integrity and governance issues. to cricket — and ben stokes will not participate in next year's indian premier league after choosing to skip the upcoming auction. but former england bowler james anderson has put himself forward, despite not playing in the t20 format for ten years. england's leading test wicket taker retired from international duty injuly. he's been the side's bowling coach since then. he's one of 52 englishmen who signed up for the auction, which will be held later this month. to rugby union — and the british and irish lions have unveiled their shirt for next year's tour of australia, revealing that they will wear a darker shade of red. the shirt also features a pattern woven into the fabric symbolising the union of four nations and an old—fashioned, as you can see, grandad collar.

the shirt is unisex and will be worn for the first time by the women's lions tour in 2027. world cup winner maggie alphonsi was at the launch and said she'd love to be playing in it. it's incredibly important. to be part of such a historic team, a historicjersey, historic legacy is important as a woman because, you know, it's something that i've always watched. i've always watched lions. you know, i've had the privilege to observe them, and i've got a son and a daughter, and now both my son and daughter could one day play for the lions. so to think, come 2027, they're going to have their first tour to new zealand and we are going to be part of this is really special. and howden are doing a great job trying to make sure we bring it to life. and, yeah, come 2027, i'm very excited, but i wish i was playing, you know. i mean, i'd be quite old by then! but to be able to know that that is going to be a reality is going to be exciting. and, naturally, we'll be talking about what players
4:49 am
we think could play there. ellie kildunne is walking around and i think, "0h, she could totally be in that squad!" but we're in a stage now where we're bringing it together. even when we talk about thejersey, you know, it's about the players. but when we talk about the fans, it's a unisex jersey and we're bringing everyone together, and that's what we're all about — how do we try and bring a community together to be the very best? now, following the election result in the us, we're asking what impact will donald trump's return to the white house have on sport? the usa is one of three countries hosting the world cup in 2026, and the new president—elect has promised to sort out the rift between golf�*s saudi—backed liv players and the dp world tour. joe lynskey has been speaking to one us commentator about what we can expect. # ain't no doubt i love this land #. alex, you're a golf expert based in the us. donald trump has said this morning he wants to heal the country in the united states. can he find a way to heal the sport of golf? he's indicated that he wants to do that as well in different times that he's
4:50 am
talked about it. yesterday, which would have been tuesday night, bryson dechambeau, the us open champ, certainly liv participant, was on the podium with him in west palm beach. bryson dechambeau i is up here someplace. what happened to bryson? where is he? so there's a good relationship there with him, with koepka, with dustin johnson. so though he's got a lot on his plate, i do think that he will be focussed, when required to be focussed, on trying to help both sides, but i'm not sure what he can actually do. i think that's the key question, isn't it? we saw rory mcilroy have those sentiments this morning in an interview. obviously, trump has a great relationship with saudi arabia. he's got a great relationship with golf. he's a lover of golf, so maybe. what influence does the us president have over these negotiations? basically none, right? i mean, there's nothing the president can physically do
4:51 am
and say, "yasir, do this." but what he can do, he can maybe get the justice department have a different focus on how they will look at the pga tour pif deal. on a slightly different note, you're at the olympics in the summer, covering the golf there in paris. we saw emmanuel macron be a very visual presence at those games. do you think those global events, the la games towards the end of his presidency, the fifa world cup, do you think they're as important to president trump? i think the olympics are important to everybody. the world cup is much more important to the us now than it would have ever been before, and so i think trump will be involved, because let's be honest, where there is a focus and there's a camera, he will be there. don't forget, you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport app orfrom our website, where you can also find details of the latest one day international between west indies and england. but from me, will perry,

and the rest of the team at the bbc sports centre, goodbye for now. hello there. high pressure has dominated the weather story so far this november. it's brought a lot of quiet weather around, but at times a misty autumnal flavour. we barely saw the tops of the skyscrapers of the city of london on wednesday, but further north and west there were brief glimpses of sunshine and some warmth. temperatures in fermanagh peaking at 18 celsius. now that warmth is staying with us. so dawn, those temperatures not having fallen very far at all. 13 celsius in stornoway. the average overnight low at this stage in the year should be around 3 or 4 celsius here. so the high pressure just drifts that little bit further east. we're still tapping into this southerly flow. that's pushing the warm airfrom the near continent across us.
4:53 am
a little bit more of a breeze, though, out towards the west, and that has the potential maybe to break the cloud up a little bit in west wales and certainly across northern areas of scotland in particular. elsewhere, after a misty start, a lot of low grey cloud for much of central and eastern england, but it'll still be mild out there. generally temperatures 12—14 celsius, but we could see mid—teens, maybe even higher in the far north—west once again. into friday, subtle change in wind direction could bring a little more sunshine for some, a bit more of a south—easterly that could break the cloud up in a few spots. so once again we will be chasing cloud amounts around. but because the wind direction changing a little — slightly fresher feel, we're looking at around 10—13 celsius for many. as we move into the weekend, well, weather fronts are trying desperately hard to push in from the west, but obviously the highs blocking them and weakening them off all the time, so there's a risk of a little more cloud out to the west on saturday, the odd spot or two of drizzly, showery rain.
4:54 am
nothing particularly significant. another grey day, a quiet day, light winds and a pleasant feel out there for many. so we'll see top temperatures again between 11—14 celsius, perhaps 16, in the far south—west. into sunday, there is a greater chance of seeing a weather front producing some rain. now, again, the rain will weaken as it moves its way steadily eastwards, but it's a cold front and behind it it's introducing a slightly different air source, and that will bring some fresher weather. so the potential for some light rain on sunday. by the time we get into monday, a little more sun.
5:00 am
