6:33 pm

seve ballesteros�* record. it is really cool. i, i think everyone knows what seve means to european golf, to ryder cup players. you know european referred cup locker room all we have are quotes with seve, we had his shirt there 95, the last ryder cup he played. he means so much to european golf and for me to be mentioned in the same breath, i am very proud. in the same breath, i am very proud. well, earlier i spoke to our golf correspondent iain carter and i began my asking him about mcilroy�*s final round.
6:37 pm
it was stressful. it wasn't straightforward. it threatened to be early in his round, and at one stage she was two clear of field, three clear of erasmus who emerged as his closest challenger, and midway through the back nine, the dane has drawn level with mcilroy, now remember hoy guard beat mcilroy at the irish open. mcilroy at the irish open. mcilroy infamously coughed up the us open from a winning position, likewise the pga championship at wentworth so there was a lot of pressure on mcilroy coming down the stretch and the key moments really on the last three holes, a wedge to tap in range for birdie at the 16th. a brilliant tee shot into the difficult par three 17th. he said that was the most nervous he felt throughout the whole championship and two solid shots on to the green at the par five 18th. solid shots on to the green at the parfive 18th. to the par five 18th. to
6:38 pm
ultimately the parfive 18th. to ultimately win by two clear shot, although if erasmus holed for birdie when the five footer mcilroy had when he had two for it was a lot easier than if that had been the putintseva he needed to win. he that had been the putintseva he needed to win.— needed to win. he was very emotional. _ needed to win. he was very emotional, he _ needed to win. he was very emotional, he said - needed to win. he was very emotional, he said it - needed to win. he was very emotional, he said it has i needed to win. he was very i emotional, he said it has been an up and down year personally and professionally, how would you assess his 202a? i and professionally, how would you assess his 2024?- and professionally, how would you assess his 2024? i think up and down _ you assess his 2024? i think up and down sums _ you assess his 2024? i think up and down sums it _ you assess his 2024? i think up and down sums it up _ you assess his 2024? i think up and down sums it up perfectly l and down sums it up perfectly and down sums it up perfectly and i think the downs are lower than the highs, if you like, because as he admitted this week, he should be sitting here with a fifth major title. title. two shots ahead with five holes to play at pinehurst and missing short putintsevas, particularly the one on the 16th, that really stung him and ultimately he didn't win. then the disappointments in ireland. ant at wentworth as well, having said that, it is a year
6:39 pm
with four victories, this was a huge win, had he not won, i think there would have been potential for a think there would have been potentialfor a pretty think there would have been potential for a pretty sizeable hangover and he admitted as much afterwards, instead, he can draw a great deal of confidence that his game with stood the pressure, which was intense through the back nine of this championship, and it does give him a springboard into 2025. three horses have died at cheltenham this afternoon, including two in the same race. one of them was the winner here — named a buffalo soldier — who collapsed after crossing the finish line. meanwhile another horse in this race, and one competing after it, both died after sustaining fatal injuries. emma raducanu has given great britain a great start against canada in the quarterfinals of the billiejean cup in malaga. raducanu beat rebecca marino in the first of two singles rubbers. raducanu hadn't played since september and returned
6:40 pm
from injury to beat germany'sjule niemeier in the first round — and she powered through the first set 6—0. marino moved up a gear in the second half, but raducanu stayed in control to win the second set 7—5 and give britain a first point. energies in the second set rebecca — energies in the second set rebecca upped _ energies in the second set rebecca upped her- energies in the second set rebecca upped her level, | energies in the second set l rebecca upped her level, he started swinging on every ball, whether it was wide, fast, and serving great, a lot more first serves which made it difficult to get into her service game, apleased how i managed to fend off my own break points and to close it up. so if katie boulter beats leylah fernandez great britain will be into the semi finals. these are live pictures from malaga. they are in the first set, katie boulter has the break of serve. take my word for it she
6:41 pm
leads 3—2 against fernandez, who you may remember was the player player that emma beat in 2021. britain heading towards a place in the semifinals, and you can watch that on the bbc iplayer and the bbc sport website and app as well. jannick sinner has beaten taylor fritz in the final of the season ending atp finals. world number one sinner had yet to drop a set in turin and the italian delighted the home crowd by taking the first by six games to four. another straight sets victory for him to complete a great year. jorge martin is the new moto gp world champion. a third place finish at the final race in barcelona was enough for him to take his maiden title. reigning champ francesco bagnaia won the race, but the pramac ducati rider was in control
6:42 pm
throughout, to become the first rider from an independent manufacturer to be crowned champion in the moto gp era. i started crying a bit, it was really emotional race. thanks to my people, that is for them, it has been a long journey, big injuries but finally we are back here, thanks to the people, the fans, this is for valencia, a and hope we are can keep improving and enjoy the moment, this is the most important thing. now to netball, and england sealed a 55—47 victory over jamaica in manchester to lead the best of four horizon series 1—0, after the first match was drawn. the players will now travel to jamaica for the final two matches. katherine merry was watching the action with former england player serena kirsten. a wonderful atmosphere and
6:43 pm
england victory in match number two. serena kirsten it was an eight goal victory in the end how did they turn it round from the draw yesterday, to get that big win today. yes i think for me they adapted really well in the second half. forjamaicans it is going to be a grind, you are not going to beat them by 20, 30 goals, the injection was critical to, 20, 30 goals, the injection was criticalto, moving 20, 30 goals, the injection was critical to, moving pearson backin critical to, moving pearson back in to goal attack, just to keep us settled in the attack end was a genius move there and it opened us up, we were able to play with freedom and confidence. the rotational shooting circle was really effective, i think, shooting circle was really effective, ithink, in, it was giving the jamaicans a headache going into the last quarter. you talk about a headache, there is two more matches to come. the reverse fixtures are in the capital injamaica, you
6:44 pm
have played in front of jamaican fans, they will be buoyed and they have the bit between their teeth having lost here. . there is nothing like playing against an angry jamaican team. i have been there. there is nothing like playing injamaica, just there. there is nothing like playing in jamaica, just they will be stoked about the fact a large percentage of team haven't played against the jamaican team before, are about to go into deep within enemy territory, in one of the hardest plaices in the world to win a netball game, so i am really excited to see what this team is made of. in the second half of this series and looking forward to seeing how they, have they taken on the learnings? yes they have adapted win today to get the win, but it will be a difficult game. it is like a cauldron, it was so loud in here today but i am telling you it will be a thousand times louder come jamaica kingston. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other sports stories. in motorsport, 17—year—old american ugo ugochukwu became the first american to win the macau grand prix in 43

6:46 pm
on their way. four more players scored, all four scoring for their first scored, all four scoring for theirfirst time for the scored, all four scoring for their first time for the lions. they lead 5—0. that is pretty much it from us for now. that's pretty much it from us for now, but with lee carsley taking charge of his final international match as interim england boss — to be replaced by a german in thomas tuchel, and with the premier league dominated by overseas coaches, just where are the elite english managers? that was the subject of this week's edition of the football news show. hello. thanks for joining hello. thanks forjoining us again on the football news show. now last month when thomas tuchel was named head coach of england many asked where are all the elite english managers? we had a golden generation of players for we have had joachim gerard,
6:47 pm
flament and wayne rooney move in to management but at the top level? the likes ofjimmy gopperth terry and ashley cole, where is the next generation coming from? today we will find out where the english coaches are, where they are not, and what barriers there might be for coach at all levels, compared to our friends on the continent. a quote from don carson, carson, lee carsley, we need more british coaches in the premier league, the championship, to give that chance to show what they can do. the higher the level we can coachin do. the higher the level we can coach in the premier league and the champions league, getting those experiences, the more beneficial that will be to the game in general. he also says, they have to earn that right. to illustrate his point three of the 20 premier league managers are english, you have a welshman, a northern irish man. and when the premier league started 70% of the
6:48 pm
bosses were english. it is not just the men's game. only a third of head coaches in the wsl are english, two of the 12 are english women. what are the barriers to entry? what is stopping them progressing to the top.? it stopping them progressing to the top. ? it is a problem that needs fixing, we have a panel to debate this but delighted to have the first team coach at bolton for us, tell us about your journey and bolton for us, tell us about yourjourney and how bolton for us, tell us about your journey and how you bolton for us, tell us about yourjourney and how you got yourjourney and how you got your qualification and licenses.— your qualification and licenses. ~ . . licenses. with the coaching journey. — licenses. with the coaching journey. it _ licenses. with the coaching journey. it is. _ licenses. with the coaching journey, it is, for— licenses. with the coaching journey, it is, for me, - licenses. with the coaching journey, it is, for me, i- licenses. with the coaching| journey, it is, for me, iwas journey, it is, for me, i was fortunate enough that when they started to do my uefa b license, i was given an opportunity to come in there, twice a week, to work with the under 15s and here the football club at burnley, they are the managers, they allowed me to be round the first team which is a great learning stop and search. when we want more english coachesin when we want more english coaches in the game, do you think the cost of it, and the availability to go and do these
6:49 pm
courses is a factor in it? the license. _ courses is a factor in it? the license. it — courses is a factor in it? the license, it is _ courses is a factor in it? the license, it is expensive - courses is a factor in it? tue: license, it is expensive and courses is a factor in it? tte: license, it is expensive and i think we look at the likes of the spanish coaches, the portuguese coaches, they pay a fraction of what we pay, that is, it must put them in a more steady advantage position where we have £10,000 is not like, you canjust we have £10,000 is not like, you can just have it in your bank like that, so it is a sensitive subject. i hope the fa can come up with a better solution of helping former players and guys who want to get into coaching, to have a look at, you know, the fees of paying for a pro license. so we have established at the top level there is a dearth of english manager, what about lower down the leagues? i4 english manager, what about lower down the leagues? 14 in the championship are english, 15 british and much lower than the second tiers in spain, italy and germany. 16 english

6:52 pm
when graham potter was in there, probably don't get the praise they deserve, for the job they are doing. we want to make sure we do as well as we can for our own clubs, and hopefully that comes with reward. �* , ., hopefully that comes with reward. , ., reward. best of luck alex. thank you _ reward. best of luck alex. thank you for _ reward. best of luck alex. thank you forjoining - reward. best of luck alex. thank you forjoining us. i thank you forjoining us. cheers. we do have some very high profile coaches abroad. emma heyes at the women's national team. phil neville working in the wls. we can speak to lee bowyer, now the head coach montserrat�*s national team. just tell us about that journey and how you are finding it. tt and how you are finding it. tit is very good. and how you are finding it. tt is very good. something completely different and different to what i have done in the past, obviously, being in the past, obviously, being in england and managing in the
6:53 pm
championship, and league one. this is completely different because there is a lot of travelling involved, but you get to see different parts of the world, and it is good. what with have _ the world, and it is good. what with have you _ the world, and it is good. what with have you learned - the world, and it is good. what with have you learned ability yourself as a coach, during this period. what can other managers may be learn from what you are experiencing? just managers may be learn from what you are experiencing?— you are experiencing? just to broaden the _ you are experiencing? just to broaden the horizon, - you are experiencing? just to broaden the horizon, really, l broaden the horizon, really, like i know back home, in england and it is day in, day out and there are positives to that because you get to mould your team, that because you get to mould yourteam, but that because you get to mould your team, but the most important thing you pass on your knowledge, that is why i am here, football is the same all over the world so yes there could be a language barrier here and there, but football is football, and as long as you can break it down, and simplify it then that is the most important thing.- it then that is the most important thing. it then that is the most im ortant thin. ., . ,., important thing. from what you have experienced _ important thing. from what you have experienced during - important thing. from what you have experienced during your. have experienced during your time coaching in england, are there any barriers or many barriers to english coaches succeed? t barriers to english coaches succeed?— succeed? i think it is definitely _ succeed? ithink it is definitely becoming | succeed? i think it is -
6:54 pm
definitely becoming harder forker the english coaches to succeed, but if you get a good owner, that the, doesn't matter if you are british or foreign, it doesn't matter, every single football club up and down the country, want to be successful. the general theme of the programme is where are all the english coaches, we are not necessarily seeing a load in the premier league, so where are they, and where is the next generation coming from in your opinion? tt generation coming from in your oinion? , generation coming from in your oinion? . ., generation coming from in your oinion? , ., , , opinion? it is tough, because for some _ opinion? it is tough, because for some reason _ opinion? it is tough, because for some reason i _ opinion? it is tough, because for some reason i don't - opinion? it is tough, because for some reason i don't knowj for some reason i don't know why, i couldn't tell you why, but a lot of clubs now are leaning towards the foreign managers. i think it might have an effect because they, a lot of our clubs are owned by foreign people, so i think then they go to their own or they think that foreign coaches are bert than the british ones, but that isn't true, i don't think.
6:55 pm
i think that he we should be given a chance, and hopefully in the future, we start, other doors start opening for us. fascinating to see what happens. lee, rally appreciate youjoining happens. lee, rally appreciate you joining us on the show. where are all the english coaches then? well they are lower down the pyramid, even a few abroad, do more deserve a chance at your club. my thanks to my guest, if you enjoyed this there is more episodes to enjoy on the iplayer. see you again soon. bye. hello there. after a very mild first half of november, the weather for the week ahead will look and feel very different. already we've got colder weather with snow over the hills in northern scotland, not unusual for this time of year, but the colder air will push its way southwards bringing the risk of snow and ice to other areas
6:56 pm
and frost will become more widespread as well. through tonight we will keep some more snow showers over the hills in northern scotland but it is rain we have had further south and that will continue to push its way down into southern england. clearer skies following from the north and frosty overnight across northern ireland and northern england and particularly in scotland, with lows of —8, coldest night of the autumn so far. these areas will start sunny and fewer winter showers in northern scotland. we still have cloud and a bit of rain in the far south of england and more cloud pushing in across the uk bringing rain back into wales and the south—west and towards northern ireland. with the cloud coming in the temperature will not rise a great deal, perhaps only making six celsius in the midlands. the last of any mild air in the far south—west of england. for most it is colder air and the battleground
6:57 pm
between sees a weather front bringing wet weather in and an area of low pressure that is deepening and brings a risk during monday evening of some sleet and snow across some parts of northern ireland, but more especially overnight across north wales into northern england and perhaps up into southernmost parts of scotland. the bulk of the snow over the hills but snow in lower levels as well, and that will continue to fall into tuesday morning leaving behind some icy conditions and there could be a mixture of rain and sleet and snow pushing down across the midlands and other eastern parts of england as well, with that area of low pressure. windy conditions through the english channel but it will move away and we are left with the northerly wind again and that will bring more wintry showers to northern scotland and down the easternmost parts of england where it will be windy as well. that means a significant wind chill, feeling cold for all of us and if anything the temperature dropping through the day. temperature falling further overnight as the cold northerly wind pushes cold air down across the whole of the country, so wednesday starts with a widespread frost and a few icy patches but first frost of the week in the southern parts of england.
