welcome along to sportsday... we'll start in manchester where thousands lined the streets to bid a final farewell to one of england's greatest ever footballers, sir bobby charlton. the funeral of the 1966 world cup winner and manchester united legend took place at manchester cathedral. the bbc�*s sports editor dan roan has more. a final farewell for arguably english football's greatest ever figure here at the stadium where he's immortalised thousands, paying tribute to sir bobby charlton earlier as his funeral cortege past old trafford, home of the club where he made more than 750 appearances. members of united's youth teams forming a guard of honour as the hearse drove past the ground, adorned with images depicting a glittering career. he's a gentleman and a legend. you know, i mean, he had time for everybody. manchester cathedral. meanwhile, a thousand guests, including the fa president, prince william, legendary former united manager sir alex ferguson, and a host of other footballing stars, past and present, arriving for a private memorial service. one of sir bobby's former team—mates paying this tribute. i never thought in my dreams as a kid that i'd come through and play for manchester united. but playing with bobby charlton, something special, was it? with many more gathering at the end of the funeral procession to showjust how much he meant to them. charlton's coffin, accompanied by his family, was carried into the cathedral for a service celebrating a remarkable life. a survivor of the 1958 munich air disaster. over the next decade, charlton reached the very top of the game. world cup winner with england in 1966, european cup winner with united two years later, renowned not only for his goal scoring and skill, but also his decency and class. the speakers did fantastic. bobby charlton was a wonderful, humble man. and i'm in manchester maybe because of bobby charlton with today's service, followed by a private wake at old trafford, the world of football was left to reflect on the loss of a truly legendary figure, but one that will never be forgotten. dan roan, bbc news. alexander zverev often saves his best tennis for the atp finals — he's been the men's singles champion twice in this event, now he's made the perfect start to this campaign by beating world number two carlos alcaraz. zverev is the world number 7 and hasn't won a grand slam singles event, but he's taken the first steps to a third title here. the wimbledon champion alcaraz had taken the first set but zverev responded and came back to win in a final set decider. it's the spaniards third defeat in a row — the first time that's happened since 2021. i get along with him well. i have no issues, but obviously, yes, it's always nice to beat the best players in the world, and he's definitely one of them. and yeah, it's, it's, yeah, it's special to to win on thos court again. i think it's a close match, but i couldn't take the chances that i that i had. you know, this this guy has one of the biggest serves on the tour. and, you know, he had a few break points that he couldn't i couldn't take. and i think that that was the the key of the match. staying in the red group and 2020 champion daniil medvedev beat fellow russian andrey rublev. but rublev here on the bottom of the screen totally lost his way in the second set. his serve was broken after he slipped here on this point, and he wasn't letting it go easily. rublev won just one more game after that, medvedev coming through in the end 6—4, 6—2. novak djokovic received this trophy on monday after securing the year—end number one ranking for a record—extending eighth time. djokovic needed only one match win at the atp finals to be sure of keeping the top spot and the 24—time grand slam champion secured it in his opener, beating holger rune in a contest spanning more than three hours on sunday and into monday morning. and he was very keen to thank all his team for their achievements too. obviously the crown of the season, finishing the year as number one in the world, i think is a dream of every tennis player. it's one of the most difficult things to do in our sport. obviously, you know, winning grand slams and being number one in the world are probably the pinnacles of the sport. it's been a very long, long year, you know, forfor all the players. and to be able to stand here is a blessing. and i want to thank my team who is here, my coaching staff, everybody. physiotherapists, fitness coach. gordon. everyone who has been on this road with me. it is a team effort even though i am standing by myself here on the court, but i cannot wait to be celebrating with them. so this is tremendous success and achievement and i am very proud of it, obviously. emma raducanu has pulled out of an exhibition match in macau next month as she continues her rehabilitation from hand and foot operations. the 2021 us open champion hasn't played since april, but is still hoping to return to the tour injanuary. the men's cricket world cup semi finals take place on wednesday and thursday this week, but we've known for sometime that england won't be involved. they won their last two games, but lost six out of nine matches played in total in what has been a feeble defence of the trophy they won back in 2019. so what's gone wrong with england and the 50 over game? we've been speaking to managing director, rob key. well, you want to mark out of ten, it'd be right down the bottom, to be honest. i think for the side that we are, for the players that we've got, the quality that we've got, we've underperformed massively for lots of different reasons. we've overthought things. we've gone away from our style when it's really mattered. it's all well and good talking about how you're going to play a certain way. how you going to be on the front foot and play aggressive. but when it really matters, you've got to do it. and then at other times you've got to soak up at the right time. and we've almost done the opposite when it's needed. so i think in both departments with bat and ball, we've been well below par. and i'd be surprised if anyone really on our side feels that they've given an account of themselves, of, you know, yourjob is about maximising your potential and plan to your ability. whether you win or lose is one thing you know, you can't always guarantee success. but what you what you've got to try and do is make sure you're playing to the best of your ability. and we've been a long way off that. and so who's responsible? whenever it's been, you know, a question for me about who what are we going to focus on here? is it going to be 50 over? is it going to be t20? is it going to be test cricket? i've always chosen test cricket, you know, right the way from the end of the world t20 last year when there was a choice over test cricket in pakistan, who got the best players? i've always the one who said, sorry, test cricket gets that focus at the moment. then the same thing in south africa when there's a test series going on in new zealand, i've always chosen test cricket, so really i hold myself to at the top of that list. it's not easy for coaches and captains when you haven't got the ability to plan and have your best team. that's not their fault. so i feel like it's harsh if i turn around and blame the captain and coach when i hold myself accountable for that. all right, matthew mott, you've talked about responsibility. will you be ruthless with him? i mean, does he have yourfull support? yeah, he does. the coaching is pretty simple. you know, yourjob, yourjudged by your results, but you're also judged by the way that your players go and play and they haven't done that at all. matthew would be the first one to say that, but as i said at the start, i find it a position to be in where i'm blaming matthew for this. when, you know many conversations i've had to say to him, "right, matthew, sorry, you're not "going to have your best team. "you're not going to havejoe root, "ben stokes, all of these people, "because the test team is going to get that." you know, and i'm sorry that's going to happen. so the first time it goes wrong, i'm not going to sit here and go, actually. right. you should have done this. you should have done that. we'll have some pretty honest conversations as you do in these things and say, right, what you're going to do to improve this. but as far as i'm concerned, you know, he gets my full backing and an opportunity to try and turn it around. us presidentjoe biden honored the stanley cup champions vegas golden knights in a ceremony at the white house on monday, marking the return of an nhl tradition. the golden knights are the first nhl team to visit biden at the white house since the tampa bay lightning in april 2022, when they celebrated their back—to—back titles won during the pandemic in 2020 and �*21. the 2022 champion colorado avalanche were unable to make a visit work last season because of scheduling conflicts. six years ago the idea of a championship team playing on theice championship team playing on the ice in the big desert of vegas, think about this. who would've thunk of it, as they say. it seems like a pipe dream. but the team ownership had faith. predicting a playoff run in three years into stanley cup and six. that's all the sport for now. you can get all the latest sports news on the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.com/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello. storm debi swept eastwards on monday, bringing some of us some very strong winds. you can see this hook of cloud and rain. it was on the southern edge of this hook where we saw a swathe of very strong winds across parts of northern ireland, north wales and north—west england. in fact, it looks like blackpool may have seen its strongest wind gust in nearly ten years. there was quite a lot of rain around as well. storm debi now clearing eastwards, but further frontal systems following from the west. it does stay quite unsettled. and one band of heavy, perhaps thundery rain and squally winds clipping close to the south of england and the channel islands as we go through the morning. it could be some quite intense downpours in places with some very gusty winds. that wet and blustery weather then tending to clear eastwards through the morning. further north, a band of cloud and rain across parts of northern england, up into scotland. that making some northward progress through the day. although the far north of mainland scotland and especially orkney and shetland holding on to some sunshine. and then through the afternoon much of northern ireland, england and wales will see a mix of sunny spells and hefty showers. still quite blustery for some of us — highs of eights to 1a degrees. during tuesday night we'll see further showers or longer spells of rain. i think the wettest of the weather will be found across some central parts of scotland. temperature—wise, generally between five and eight degrees. so we'll start wednesday morning with cloud and some outbreaks of rain across parts of northern ireland, north wales, northern england, southern and central parts of scotland. and some of that rain will continue through the day. but elsewhere, actually quite a lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine, not too many showers. the winds easing just a touch and temperatures again between eight and 13, maybe 1a degrees. now, thursday's weather chart is quite a complex one, one weather system trying to approach from the south—west, another one a little bit further north. there's some uncertainty about which of these will win out and end up on top of the uk for thursday. but either way, we're expecting some outbreaks of rain to push eastwards. it may be that we have some quite strong and blustery winds. temperatures again generally between eight and 13 degrees. and an early look at the weekend weather, it does look quite unsettled. there'll be showers or longer spells of rain. low pressure firmly in charge, it could be quite windy as well. welcome to newsday, reporting live from singapore. i'm monica miller. the headlines: joe biden says gaza's main hospital must be protected. doctors at al—shifa hospital say they fear around 30 newborn babies needing intensive care treatment could die. lots more i had on the programme. including... the shock return of former prime minister david cameron as foreign secretary, as rishi sunak�*s cabinet reshuffle continues. and iceland braces for a volcanic eruption as more than 500 earthquakes hit the country's south coast. live from our studio in singapore, this is bbc news — it's newsday.
