but can't properly begin work until he gets his visa sorted. amorim says interim boss ruud van nistelrooy did a great job and he'll be talking to him about his future role with the club when he gets to old trafford. i feel ready for the new challenge. i'm not naive, i know that it's going to be very, very different, very tough, but i feel that i'm ready. i'm in peace now. i can focus on my newjob. i know how i am going to play in the beginning, india have told the international cricket council they will not cross the border into pakistan to play in the champions trophy next year — according to the hosts. ongoing political tensions mean the two countries have not played each other outside of men's major tournaments since 2013, while india have not played in pakistan for 16 years. meanwhile, india head coach

gautam gambhir has hit out at former australia captain ricky ponting ahead of india's trip to australia for the border—gavaskar trophy. ponting has criticised india's virat kohli, who has been out of form in recent times. the australian said that any other player wouldn't have survived in the team had he scored just two hundreds in five years. what does ponting have to do with indian cricket? i think he should think about australian cricket and, more importantly, i've got no concerns whatsoever for virat and rohit. i think they are incredibly tough men. they've achieved a lot for indian cricket and they will continue to achieve a lot in the future, as well. i think, for me, the most important thing is that they still work really hard and they're still passionate, they still want to achieve a lot more and that is something which is very important. the hunger in that dressing room is incredibly important for me and for the entire group of people, as well, in that dressing room. i feel there's a lot of hunger, especially after what has happened in the last series. in the last few minutes, casper ruud has beaten spain's carlos alcaraz in their first—round match at the atp finals in turin.

the norwegian broke alcaraz�*s serve twice in the first set to win it 6—1, before taking the second 7—5. also in action later on day two are alexander zverev and andrey rublev, following american taylor fritz�*s 6—4, 6—3 win over daniil medvedev on day one. home favourite and world number one jannik sinner was also victorious in the first round, overcoming australia's alex de minaur in straight sets. i feel like every match, it is very difficult to play against him, he is a great fighter, you have to earn every point you play, but i still feel like that, you know, that every time we play against, he changes a couple of things, so i have to be very aware, you know, so it is very difficult. the denver nuggets extended their winning streak to five straight games by beating the dallas mavericks. the game went down to

the wire, but a brilliant, history—making performance from nikola jokic secured the win for denver 122—120. the three time mvp made his case for another one — with a dominant line of 37 points, 18 rebounds, and 15 assists — numbers no other player has achieved in nba history. from nikola jokic to nikola jovic, who came off the bench to score the winning points for the miami heat as they beat the minnesota timberwolves 95—94. his foul shot with under eight seconds to play was the difference for miami, who raise their record to 4—5. and that's all your sport for now, you can keep up with all the latest news on the bbc sport website and app. for now, though, back to you, lucy. let's return to our main story, the annual un climate conference, which has kicked off with its present warning that the world is on its road

minister, sir keir starmer, attended commemorations with emmanuel macron. is the first british to do so since winston churchill in 1944. the pair observed two minutes of silence before visiting the arc de triomphe's tomb of the unknown soldier to remember those killed in conflicts. and this is ypres in belgium, where crowds of people observe the day with their traditional walk through the streets. in the uk, the tower of london is being lit up with a poignant light show in remembrance, the display includes poppies, but also images of those who served, along with music from the time. tim muffett went to see it.

during the darkest hours they fought and died — for their country, their loved ones and for us — the generations that followed. now at the tower of london, in the darkness, they are being remembered with light. this is such an important site historically, over a thousand years of history. so when we actually place artwork in here, we are trying to create art historic content that works with this living, breathing space. artist and sculptor peter walker created the stunning visual effects. the poppies behind us is really a way of placing us back in the first world war. it allows us to walk in the footsteps, as it were, of the soldiers. as they walk through so we can take people on an immersive journey through remembrance, but also on very personal reflection to drive remembrance. we're using the words, the sounds, the music of that era. their flowers, the tenderness of patient minds. _ we have some recitation by eddie redmayne of poetry, which is really beautiful. who thinks ofjune's first rose today? - only some child, perhaps.

the tower of london has played a key role in our national story, at various times a royal residence, a prison and of course, home to the crownjewels. the white tower, the most famous building here, was built in 1078 by william the conqueror. one part of the tower�*s history that's known very well is the presence of that special group who've guarded it since tudor times — the yeoman warders — or beefeaters, as they're nicknamed. all of the yeomen here at the fortress are all veterans. we've all served at least 22 years in the armed forces. so we come from the tri—service background. we've all attained the rank of warrant officer and hold a long service and good conduct medal. what's it been like looking around and seeing these incredible projections? it's such a poignant time of year anyway. but to see the poppies come alive, dancing on people as they walk past you is, it's very emotional, actually. it is that time to reflect and to remember.

as the world wars pass out of living memory, reflecting and remembering feels especially important. at the tower of london, it's being done in a spectacular way. tim muffett, bbc news. these are live pictures from the cop conference centre in baku, and you can go to the bbc news website where we have summarised the latest from us climate envoyjohn podesta, climate envoy john podesta, talking climate envoyjohn podesta, talking about what he thinks will happen once donald trump comes to the white house. after the very gloomy conditions of the last few weeks, things are starting to brighten up, some sunshine through the rest of the week, i

am not promising it will be completely sunny, but it will be often dry. a few showers in the mix, through the rest of today, the odd shower in some areas, breezy and eastern parts. furtherwest, areas, breezy and eastern parts. further west, areas of high cloud, but decent clear gaps in the sky as well, temperatures 10—12 , for most of us, maybe 15 in the south—west on the channel islands. through this evening and tonight, it stays quite windy across eastern parts of england, but elsewhere, under clear skies, with light winds, temperatures will drop away, close to freezing in towns and cities, just below freezing for some spots in the countryside, and with that, they could be fog patches around wales, north—west england, western scotland, most especially northern ireland, under some of that, where it does develop, it will be slow to clear through the day tomorrow. increasing chance of showers across east anglia, the south—east of england and the channel

islands. most other areas are seeing spells of sunshine, temperatures may be just 8 degrees in glasgow, 12 there in london. if we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this area of high pressure stays just about in charge, but we will see the cold front pushing down from the north, that is going to introduce more in the way of cloud across scotland, quite widespread fog across northern ireland through the morning, replaced by cloud through the day, pushing southwards as we go on into the afternoon. with that, just the odd spot of rain, temperatures 9-12 in odd spot of rain, temperatures 9—12 in most places. by thursday, some large areas of cloud, some sunny spells, and temperatures again generally in that range between nine and 12 degrees in both locations. as we head towards the end of the week, uncertainty about the forecast, but it looks like high pressure will retreat, we will see a frontal system pushing down from the north, potentially an area of low pressure developing over the

weekend, so that will turn things more unsettled, and then behind that, it looks like things could turn a fair bit colder.

live from london, this is bbc news. colleagues, we are on the road to ruin. the latest un climate conference gets under way in azerbaijan — with a warning that this year is on track to be

the hottest on record. president elect trump makes more key appointments — ahead of his return to the white house injanuary. keir starmer becomes the first british prime minister to attend armistice day in paris since 1944, as cities across europe fall silent to remember. and cycling 40 miles fora dumpling? we look at the social media trend that overwhelmed a small tourist city in china. hello. i'm lauren taylor. the united nations has warned that 2024 is on track to be the hottest year on record, as its annual climate conference — cop 29 — begins in azerbaijan. these are live pictures from baku, where world leaders and heads of states are converging for the first time since reports that average global temperatures are expected to exceed 1.5 degrees celsius above what they were before the industrial revolution.
