now with all the latest sport here's... we'll start with football, because manchester city could go back to the top of the premier league tomorrow. they'll have to reverse their poor string of recent results though when they take on brighton. pep guardiola's side have lost their last three in all competitions and the manager says he does understand where things are going wrong. of course we are not used to playing three games in three different competitions but it is football, it happens. so we know the reason why we struggle but, yeah, looking forward to the game and after the international break, after that a few players will come back better and recover and for all the problems that we have, little problems that every player has, we will solve it. i hope so. dublin is the setting for friday night's installment in one of the big rivalries

in world rugby. ireland, the top ranked side in the world against the mighty all blacks. it's a fixture that has provided some truly memorable encounters over recent years. this evening promises to be no different. ireland of course, still looking to lay to rest the disappointment of that quarter final defeat to new zealand at last years rugby world cup. i haven't thought about it too much, personally. i've obviously reflected on that game and i know it wasn't near one of my best performances or where i can get to. it's all part of the journey and the evolution of a player and of a person. i'm sure that game, some of the lessons from it will lead to further development and growth for me. yeah, i'm looking forward to putting that into action. new zealand, fresh from that narrow victory over england last weekend, will certainly know they have a tough challenge ahead. they do though have plenty of motivation of their own, namely getting themselves back up to world number one.

ireland have been right up there not just the last few years i think the last ten years they have been leading the way in a lot of areas so, yeah, us as all blacks we like to be in the picture in terms of world number one so that is the crown they have at the moment and we owe them at home. england's paul waring broke the course record as he shot 11 under par to head the field at the abu dhabi championship. waring moved from eight under to 19 under overall with nine birdies and an eagle. he leads by five shots with fellow englishman tommy fleetwood one of four tied for second. i'v e i've got a nice lead at the moment but even before i tee off tomorrow someone might have caught me. while i am in the lead at the moment, if we are rational about it everyone is

still going to go nuts and fire a load of birdies in there. if i want to be on top come sunday afternoon i have to keep going in the way that i am and i know that. it is a nice thing for me to know that have to keep making birdies and we will add them all up after sunday afternoon. to cricket where pakistan have taken their one day series with australia to a deciding third match, after a thumping victory in adelaide. australia bowled out in just 35 overs for 163. haris rauf with 5 of the wickets. the batters then didn't waste too much time chasing that down, just over 26 overs it took them to win. the final match of that series is in perth on sunday. in the nba, chicago bulls lost their fourth game in a row, minnesota timberwolves beat them 135 points to 119 with anthony edwards scoring a game—high 33 points. meanwhile, giannis antetokounmpo scored 31 points and damian lillard

3a, as the milwaukee bucks ended a six—game losing streak by beating utahjazz123—100. the bucks were at least 11 points up throughout the fourth quarter. plenty more over on the bbc sport website but that's all the sport for now. he played a leading role in negotiations which led to the creation of a power—sharing government in northern ireland. the veteran diplomat will be at the centre of the new british government's attempt to formulate its approach to the draw administration.— draw administration. let's s - eak draw administration. let's speak to _ draw administration. let's speak to sir _ draw administration. let's speak to sir david - draw administration. let's l speak to sir david manning, draw administration. let's - speak to sir david manning, the former british ambassador to the united states and now... thank you forjoining us on bbc news. this is a really interesting appointment at an

interesting appointment at an interesting time. why do you think sir keir starmer decided upon jonathan think sir keir starmer decided uponjonathan powell to take on a crucial role at this time? i think it is because jonathan is think it is becausejonathan is such a talented individual. he has got enormous experience, as you already mentioned. he worked in the tony blair administration for ten years. he has got great expertise in international relations. he served as a diplomat before working for tony blair in the washington embassy. and i can say on the basis of personal experience, since i worked for jonathan, but he is an absolutely outstanding choice and i think his own expertise of the united states and of how government works makes him the standout choice for the role. it's an interesting time, isn't it, with the donald trump government coming in. you will have seen the widely reported comments by the foreign secretary with regard to donald trump. does that make for a

difficult start to a relationship? and how will jonathan powell navigates some slightly choppy waters? i jonathan powell navigates some slightly choppy waters?- slightly choppy waters? i don't think it does _ slightly choppy waters? i don't think it does actually. - slightly choppy waters? i don't think it does actually. i - slightly choppy waters? i don't think it does actually. i think l think it does actually. i think this has been overdone. my own view is that name—calling in politics doesn't determine the relationship. it is about policy, it is about the connections which the prime minister has now made with donald trump. we know he had a meeting with him in september. david lammy, i'm told, has met jd david lammy, i'm told, has met jd vance, the incoming vice president. it won't be about what was said several years ago or not said. it will be about whether we can use the connections that we have made to find common ground on policy choices, where we won't always see i do i. choices, where we won't always see i do l— choices, where we won't always see i do i— see i do i. just take us through _ see i do i. just take us through the _ see i do i. just take us through the role - see i do i. just take us through the role of. see i do i. just take us| through the role of the national security advisor and what he would be expected to do within the uk government. weill.

within the uk government. well, he willt within the uk government. well, he will try to _ within the uk government. well, he will try to bring _ within the uk government. well, he will try to bring together - he will try to bring together the different departments in whitehall around the big issues that ministers are facing, the country is facing, so that the prime minister has a clear view about what the challenges are and can conduct a debate at the very top of his government about what policies to adopt. and jonathan will facilitate that process and he will then also oversee the way in which the whitehall machine implements those decisions on a collegiate basis. but he is also going to be very important as eyes and ears of the prime minister in talking to his counterparts in other capitals. he will be a key link to washington because the link between 10 downing street and the white house is critical to the white house is critical to the bilateral relationship. it is also true in paris and in berlin, so the national

security adviser has this overall coordinating role but he is also very much involved in the day—to—day communications. in the day-to-day communications. ., ., communications. you mentioned there paris _ communications. you mentioned there paris and _ communications. you mentioned there paris and the _ communications. you mentioned there paris and the relations - there paris and the relations with europe. questions being asked about the trump administration might in fact change the uk's relationship with europe and perhaps bring those ties closer together now. well, it is an interesting area to speculate about, i think. the question on everybody�*s lips i suppose at the moment is can the eu close ranks. it is going to be difficult because there are simultaneous political and economic crises in berlin and paris and of course the french and germans are critical to the workings of the eu and to its effective coordination. but there is also the question about whether the arrival of a new trump administration will give an

impulse to and speed up our parchment here with european partners. a irrespective of the relationship with brussels. we'll see whether the prime minister and david lammy and his government will want to consolidate and move forward quickly with rebuilding relations with european partners that were damaged after brexit.— after brexit. much was said durin: after brexit. much was said during the _ after brexit. much was said during the us _ after brexit. much was said during the us election - after brexit. much was said - during the us election campaign by president—elect trump, including on the issue of tariffs, which many european leaders, including of course here in the uk are extremely concerned about. how should the uk approach the us administration with regard to really difficult and consequential issues like that for the uk?— for the uk? well, there are lots of them. _ for the uk? well, there are lots of them. you're - for the uk? well, there are lots of them. you're quite l lots of them. you're quite right, the economic issue of tariffs is one, the whole question of what president

trump will do toward security policy with security policy with nato and so on. i think it comes back to what we were talking about earlier, it is about engaging and having the best dialogue you can and making your argument. we won't necessarily always win but i think it is very important that we can engage at all levels and thatis we can engage at all levels and that is why the relationship between downing street and the white house will be critical. it is why the role of the embassy in washington is so important and luckily we have an ambassador at the moment who is very well plugged in to the trump team. but there will undoubtedly be strains and stresses. things like climate change, over middle east policy, over tariffs and over at nato and ukraine. this is why having the best possible dialogue bilaterally is going to be critical.— dialogue bilaterally is going to be critical. really good to talk to. to be critical. really good to talk to- we _ to be critical. really good to talk to. we will _ to be critical. really good to talk to. we will have - to be critical. really good to talk to. we will have to - to be critical. really good to | talk to. we will have to leave it there. the former ambassador to the united states now

imagination, he said there had to bejustice for what imagination, he said there had to be justice for what he described as horrific violence. the un report says that children between five and nine years old other population groups offering the most deaths in gaza. it says the high number of casualties suggests that israel is not distinguishing between civilians and competence bombing residential areas indiscriminately. among other possible war crimes, the report lists the october the 7th attack on israel and the indiscriminate firing of rockets by hamas. let's speak

to and unripe representative. take us through the current humanitarian situation at the moment, to northern gaza. i mean, even by the standards of the war that we have seen unfold over the last 13 months the situation right now in northern gaza is catastrophic. it is absolutely devastating. i have been in gaza city twice over the past week and we are seeing families who have fled the besieged areas, trying to find shelter anywhere they can in gaza city. two of the schools turned shelters that they were using were bombed yesterday. they were hit in strikes in gaza city. i visited and unwra school on tuesday, there was sewerage running down there was sewerage running down the walls of the school, children with nowhere to sleep or stay. 0ne children with nowhere to sleep or stay. one of the buildings
