9:34 pm
it goes as it seems down the line in a week or two towards the coalition, it will be good news for the european union and that is a stronger, not for or against russia and putin in particular but it is frustrating to watch the crises in one democracy after another when those who reject setting the pace. some will see it as waste of time but we know from us presidential elections between the results of the inauguration a lot of things happen inauguration a lot of things happen in the world is that a more subtle, a lot of things are happening in the interim. i’m a lot of things are happening in the interim. �* . ., , ., interim. i'm in a waste of time cam -. interim. i'm in a waste of time camp- duda — interim. i'm in a waste of time camp. duda and _ interim. i'm in a waste of time camp. duda and thomas - interim. i'm in a waste of time camp. duda and thomas to . interim. i'm in a waste of time i camp. duda and thomas to hate interim. i'm in a waste of time - camp. duda and thomas to hate each other_ camp. duda and thomas to hate each other and _ camp. duda and thomas to hate each other and there really wasn't an expectation that he was going to

9:38 pm
is difficult," but he did not think the war had reached a "stalemate." european leaders think it has in no question that support is ebbing away from a continued fight. but this president zelensky do to maintain the focus that is disappeared towards the middle east in recent weeks. i towards the middle east in recent weeks. ~ , , weeks. i think president zelensky defined modern, _ weeks. i think president zelensky defined modern, a _ weeks. i think president zelensky defined modern, a year— weeks. i think president zelensky defined modern, a year ago - weeks. i think president zelensky defined modern, a year ago a - weeks. i think president zelensky - defined modern, a year ago a number ten, i listened on the conversations between him and prime minister boris johnson and he is an extraordinary man. it was not for him in his inimitable communication skills, ukraine would've been lost already, i think. but it was always going to be a long haul and the challenge

9:51 pm
reduced to nine men after cristian romero and destiny udogie were sent off. james maddison and micky van de ven both off with injuries for tottenham. eric dierjust had an equaliser ruled out for offside too. butjust under ten mins left. to controversy at the cricket world cup now. angelo mathews became the first international player to be timed out after coming to the crease for sri lanka, in their defeat to bangladesh. the loss eliminates their hopes of a top four finish. in an tense affair that went ahead despite poor air quality in the indian capital. patrick geary reports. a murky dehli. the stadium sits at the middle of a problem. schools are off, building req has stopped them up at the cricket goes on. the world health organization rates the conditions is very unhealthy, both bangladesh and sri lanka have missed training sessions in recent days, both have questioned the safety of
9:52 pm
the match, when they did train, bangladesh wore masks and took precautions. 0ur doctors keep a close eye on players. some of the players can't turn up for practice because they are asthmatic. so they stayed indoors. and even for practice, we are very conscious, we train what we have to train and they go back into the dressing room. the international cricket council who organised the tournament say the air at the ground has been passed as safe by independent experts. fans, spinklers and air purifiers are used to improve conditions, so play began and sri lanka started hazily. with that style. this was the fourth and it brought to the crease angela matthews, but apparently, too slowly. he had an issue with his helmet, but the clock had been ticking. bangladesh were watching when two minutes past with matthew's not ready to back, they appealed. timed out. no—one has ever been dismissed that way in international
9:53 pm
cricket until now. matthews into history very reluctantly. matthews enters history very reluctantly. while others checked the dust year parts of the rule book, this man wisely got a move on which made a century helping sri lanka. innings closed, but the matter wasn't sri lanka's mood hardly improved by the presence of bangladesh's captain. the pantomime villain made 82 before matthews the bowler got some payback. 210 for three to score, matthews is more interested in the matthews was more interested in the time. by then, bangladesh were well on their way to victory. for sri lanka, this was still raw. it was an equipment malfunction, and i don't know where the common sense went because obviously it is disgraceful from bangladesh if they want to play cricket like that. obviously stoop down to that level, i think there's something wrong. drastically. bangladesh said that they simply played by they simply played by the rules,
9:54 pm
but by action and atmosphere, this was a game of shades of gray. so, drama in delhi. as patrick was saying by the time a team mate appeared with a helmet the on—field umpires marais erasmus and richard illingworth told mathews he was timed out. captain shakib al—hasan also appealed for him to be timed out. and explained his reasoning. 0ne one of our people came to me and said, he is out because he is not taken this stance within the timeframe and the umpire told me, call him back or not if he is out, i will call him back. we played together in cups and i've known him for a long time, it is unfortunate but it is within the rules. ronnie 0'sullivan is through to the last 32 of snooker�*s international championship.

to three in china, to set up a meeting with jak jones next. the world number one beat fellow englishman markjoyce by six frames to three in china, to set up a meeting with jak jones next. elsewhere, there were surprise exits for the world champion luca brecel and neil robertson. and that's all the sport for now. good evening. an unusually strong solar wind meant that last night's aurora borealis was seen as far south as kent, here in the uk. now, we've still got some clear skies, but the aurora won't be as strong tonight. we're looking out to the atlantic, though, now for our next area of rain to come in not for tomorrow, but for tomorrow night. so we've still got the low pressure with us, and that will continue to push showers eastwards across scotland, in particular as that lowjust drifts its way eastwards, it will pull those showers through the central belt, for example, and eastwards. but for many, as we go through the early hours, the showers die back to the coasts in the west, allowing the temperatures to dip away.
9:56 pm
there'll be some mist and fog, as well as some ground frost as we get towards tuesday morning. so the fog around for the rush hour, particularly across scotland, northern scotland, and then, it's another day of sunny spells and showers. but with a ridge of high pressure building in as the day goes on, that means that hopefully we'll see fewer showers for northern ireland, western parts of england, wales, and scotland as we go through the day, the odd one popping up further east, as well. and temperatures on a par with those of today, with slightly lighter winds. so not too bad again, but then, as we get into tomorrow evening, the temperatures will fall away ahead of our rain — so you can see the blue hue here, the frost developing in northern and eastern areas — but it doesn't last, because that next weather front pushes in. so we are talking about another spell of wet weather as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. so a fairly wet start to our wednesday morning across many parts of scotland, england, and wales. wet through the evening, early part of the night across northern ireland. another inch of rain,
9:57 pm
20—30mm — not good news. remember, of course, the ground is still saturated, the river is running high. it should pull away as we go through the early part of the afternoon from southern and eastern areas, but the timing a little bit uncertain at the moment. again, very similar temperatures, 9—13, but starting to feel a bit cooler in the north — and that's because we're sort of pulling in some arctic air around this area of low pressure, which will continue to feed in lots of showers through thursday and friday. so, slightly cooler before we see the return of the atlantic air perhaps into the weekend, and probably with it the next dose of rain. so, some rain tuesday night into wednesday, and it's sunny spells and showers, but it could well turn quite wet again through saturday and into sunday. as ever, we'll keep you posted, and there's more on the website.
