hello there, and welcome along to the programme. it was always going to be a treat for the home fans in turin to see world number one jannik sinner in action at the atp finals, and he really turned on the style at the season ending event, to defeat taylor fritz. it was an entertaining 6—4, 6—4 win for the italian, who was pushed early on by fritz, but ultimately came out on top for his second win of the tournament so far. the win extends his great form on the indoor hard courts. sinner can make it three from three in the groups, when he takes on fourth seed daniil medvedev on thursday. fritz will be looking to secure a crucial win against alex de minaur in his bid to advance to the semi—finals for a second time. former champion daniil medvedev beat alex de minaur earlier in the day. the russian lost his first group game, but has kept himself in with a chance of reaching the knock—out stage. he won in straight sets and didn't face a single break point.

there was no stopping the womens champions league holders barcelona — who ran riot against st polten — winning 7—0. ballon d'or feminin winner aitana bonmati and keira walsh were among the goalscorers. a sensational display from arsenal saw them come away wth a 4—0 win away atjuventus. the victory continues the impressive spell under interim boss renee slegers. bayern munich won 3—0 against valerenga. and manchester city eventually overcame hammarby 2—0. bev priestman won't return as head coach of the canadian women's soccer team. it follows a report into the use of drones to spy on opponents at this year's paris olympics. priestman and two other team officials were banned for one year by fifa after new zealand complained that drones flew over their training sessions. on tuesday, canada soccer said they would not return to their roles and there would be ethics training for staff. they also said a case against former men's coach john herdman, who priestman worked with, would be opened over potential violations.

the formula e season starts in mexico next month. to date only three women have taken part in the series. last 18 of the top female drivers were testing the latest cars in madrid — in an effort to get more women on the grid. abbi pulling was one who impressed — as charlotte simpson reports. this is so important to me, if it wasn't for a test like this i probably would not have gone the opportunity to do this. despite having never stepped foot in a formula e car before, abbi pulling seemed at ease testing their brand—new car. it's incredibly fun, compared to the drivers there doing this full time but at the end of the day, happy with the first day and there was a good building block to press on. 18 of the world's top female drivers were invited to madrid to take part in the first all—female testing session. every three hours they

experienced the same cars that will be in formula e's upcoming season. the f1 academy championship leader, abbi pulling, topped the time sheets with a lap that was 3.4 seconds off the top male driver's best go on the same track. hope this is not the last and physically, took me off guard, it's quite demanding and so, yeah, few rounds in the gym, i think. it is been a decade since the all electric series has seen women take to its starting grid. we go green in beijing! why do you think we haven't seen a woman in formula e since its first season in 2014? very little opportunity to drive the car which is why we spoke to the teams and said we want a dedicated test they understand women do not have enough opportunities but they haven't really found the mechanical way of doing it, the mechanism to do it and this provides them with the mechanism.

while women have been absent from formula e for ten years, it's been 50 since a woman started in a formula 1 race. i really want and believe that there is no boundary for women to be able to compete at the highest level, all of the science tells us that. but there's thousands of young boys that want to be a formula 1 driver and maybe one makes it through, we need thousands of young girls coming through to find that one and i believe it will happen and i think it will take some time. with more opportunities than ever before, drivers will continue to push themselves as far as they can go in hopes of inspiring the next generation. hopefully it will show other girls that this is a viable destination for them. charlotte simpson, bbc news. to mini—league now, featuring some global names across different sports — where the greenest fans, take the honours! the green action league sees arsenal, and three other stan kroenke owned teams — the la rams, denver nuggets

and colorado avalanche — hoping to inspire their supporters to do more for the environment. i spoke to nuggets star deandrejordan, who is a vegan athlete, and believes travel in the league is a huge factor towards sustainability goals. for ourjobs, sometimes we cannot help that we do have to travel all these ways with all these flights so in my mind, i'm thinking, if i have to do this then, why not have some sort of change of my everyday life to be able to reverse certain things that i've done or that i'm doing right now in my everyday life that myjob requires me to do. but i feel the nba has done a greatjab of being able to help us find ways to better the environment and i feel like companies have done a greatjab with shipping and how they package and send goods to people to help them see the impact positively that they're having

on the environment as far as emissions go. you decided to go vegan, what were the choices that influence your decision that and has benefited? the only constant in life is change and growing up in texas, i was a big carnivore, barbecue and things like that and as i got into my nba career, i wanted to find ways that are advantageous for me to prolong my career to be in the best shape as possible and i'll try different diets to try to clean myself out and i went vegetarian and then i went plant—based and i felt the best at that time on that diet and i want to incorporate that into an everyday lifestyle and notjust a summer thing and it was extremely beneficial to me and i learned a lot. 14 years ago tottenham signed the brazilian international sandro for £8 million. now at the age of 35, he's been tempted out

of retirement by seventh tier harborough town — and is set to feature in next month's fa cup second round. over the weekend, he visited the leicestershire club to meet staff, fans and his new teamates. owen shipton reports. he has played in the premier league and the champions league but harborough town, even former brazilian internationals need to sing the initiation song. singing cheering look at that. he spent four years at tottenham hotspur before spells at qpr and abroad and brazil. for brazil, he played alongside some of the sports icons, players like ronaldino. he retired last year and now his back. and they say he is not getting paid a penny,

he is doing it out of the love of the game. it's an opportunity to help the players, the to bring change and i said, i'm in, guys. i would take this opportunity and i will do it. so, how do you go from latin america to leicestershire? it all happened after a chance meeting between sandro and the manager. at the moment we are like everton, down here is not great. it was as random as anything. i have a season ticket. ijust had a brief conversation with him in his career and what he's doing now and i literally said do you want to play for us, harborough town football club and said, yeah. and i thought he was definitelyjust being nice but then he did not go away and i thought, oh, he is still here. so, do i speak to your agent? and he gave me his telephone number and now he's here.

what a gentleman he is. there is a problem, when sandro retired, he was actually suspended and that is why he was in the stands for the draw on saturday. but he will be ready for redding next month when they play the lead one side in the second round of the fa cup. to get someone of his standing down here to play for harborough town it is, i just think the town of harborough. get out and support mand get behind it all. to come and play in this league for me is amazing. now i will prepare myself because i want to do good. it is a surprising signing, hopefully there will be able to spring another surprise on reading in december. a reminder of our top story. world number one jannik sinner has two wins from two

at the atp finals. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website at the usual address. see you soon! hello there. so far this week, it's generally not been as gloomy. there was some sunshine around for many places on tuesday, but some parts of northern ireland and southwest scotland stayed misty and murky all day. that fog is lifting as cloud comes in, lifting temperatures in the northwest but ahead of it with clearer skies in england and wales away from the southeast, it's going to be cold to start wednesday, temperatures close to freezing in places and a few mist and fog patches in northern england, the midlands towards the west country, too. those will lift through the morning, sunshine developing. it looks quite cloudy for western scotland, a bit damp too cloud for northern ireland, moving over the irish sea into north west england and north wales, but further

south and east we'll hang on to some sunshine — not a bad day. temperatures generally 11 degrees, i think, for england and wales. milder further north, typically 13 in scotland and northern ireland. those atlantic winds bringing in the cloud will push southwards behind that weak weather front overnight — that weather front bringing a little rain first thing in the far southeast. but following on from that much more cloud, so it's not going to be as cold to start on thursday. but sunshine, i think, is going to be harder to find. and in the far north of scotland, there could even be a few spots of rain returning here as well. temperatures going to be evening out because there's more cloud around, so typically 12, maybe 13 degrees. so quite mild, i think, on thursday. high pressure with us at the moment — starting to shrink away a little bit on friday. some stronger winds coming in ahead of this weather front, which will bring some rain into the northwest later on friday. stronger winds ahead of that, mind you. further south, though, we've got lighter winds. there could be some mist and fog patches lifting to give some sunshine, but temperatures across southern parts

of england and the midlands, parts of wales, 9—10 degrees. it'll be milder further north with those stronger atlantic winds. and that weather front bringing the rain in the northwest scoots southwards. not much rain on it at all, i think, on saturday, showers following, and then on sunday we could see another spell of rain developing and that'll push its way eastwards, mainly across northern areas. but as it clears away, the wind direction changes and we draw in some colder air. so some big changes on the way. i think through the rest of this week, we're likely to find more cloud around before we see a spell of wet weather over the weekend. but then as that clears away and things turn colder, we're likely to find some snow in parts of scotland.

live from singapore, this is bbc news. the us says it will continue providing arms to israel, despite aid organizations saying israel has failed to improve humanitarian conditions in gaza. china mourns after a car rammed into pedestrians, killing at least 35 people in one of the deadliest acts

of violence in the country in decades. donald trump says he wants billionaire elon musk to lead a new us department of government efficiency along with republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy. welcome to newsday, i'm steve lai. a us deadline for israel to improve humanitarian aid access in gaza has expired — without repercussions from washington. us ambassador to the un linda thomas—greenfield said while israel has "taken some important steps" toward addressing america's demands, their actions will continue to be monitored. last month, us secretary of state antony blinken gave israel an ultimatum of thirty days to ensure more aid trucks reached gaza daily or risk losing the supply of us weapons. as the deadline expired — the israeli army announced the opening of a new aid crossing into gaza, but un agencies still say israel has not done enough

to meet the threshold.
