Hello and welcome to sportsday. The world para athletics championships in dubai came to a close today. Once again the british team excelled themselves, winning plenty of medals and breaking World Records to finish third in the table. 0ur reporter kate grey is there following notjust gbs success but also the competition as a whole which is back in the middle east. 0n the final day of action, a first for the race runners, the event making its World Championship debut. And the british athletes certainly made their mark, with 81 2 in both women and mens categories. Its absolutely amazing, to be included in the world for the first time here in dubai. Its a chance for people like me to compete at the highest level. I remember watching london two years ago, wishing i could compete at the worlds one day, said to be here is unreal. The british tea m to be here is unreal. The british team has faced challenges when it comes to athlete welfare, but here at the stadium, there has been plenty of success, with established names topping the podium for stop Hannah Cockroft and sophie hunt, double world champions once again, breaking records in the process. And a taste of success for some new names, thomas young just a whisper from gold. People went out there and did their best. Sabrina, on her last throw, throwing a massive pv. Thomas young, wasnt expecting to win a medal and he just missed out on gold by 1000th of a second. These are tough World Championships. I know we can compete with the best so that is really pleasing to stop hosting a major championships in dubai meant there were obvious concerns about there were obvious concerns about the heat. But there are also british weather conditions that many had not expected. Crowds were another issue and where the atmosphere in the stadium for some sessions was good, on the whole, there was a disappointing turnout of local fans. This is not london and we were very aware of that. But actually, the support outside of stand, if you go into dubai, had been a few times, everyone knows what is going on and as with the excited. Finishing a respectable third on the overall table, now tokyo beckons as the british athletes refocus their attention from the middle east to the far east. Well, austin has joined me to look into it in more detail and austin, another Strong Performance from britains para athletes. But a new nation doing well there, as well . Yes vote will focus on team gb first. Games for them. They hit their medal target, Great Britain finishing third with 28 medals in total, 13 of them gold, once again china at the top, but the big mover is brazil. In issue dubai. Going back upon the gears and then four yea rs, back upon the gears and then four years, they were seventh and ninth in london and doha. And that leap is largely thanks to their legacy scheme after the real paralympics in 2016, there has been more money for a passport and more people taking part. The rio paralympics. They help other countries will have success help other countries will have Success Stories and theyre hoping to do that by taking their Success Story to different parts of the world. Going back to london, this was the crowd for the world parrots in 2017, compared to this week in dubai, its a stark difference. The world paras in 2017. But the Great Britain captain believes it has been a success. The people of uae have embraced para sport and i think its wrong not to have games in this part of the world, because you need to sprinkle that paralympic magic dust over the middle east, and sprinkle that paralympic magic dust overthe middle east, and im sure well find the next generation over here as well. And i think Everybody Needs to take account of the legacy of para sport. So every National Governing body needs to find more tgis, governing body needs to find more t615, t355, etc, notjust solely for the gold medallists. Well, taking the games to different places has also maintained para sports global appeal. In dubai 63 Different Countries have won medals over the 9 days of competition. Now if you compare that to the world athletics championships in doha just 2 months ago only 43 countires won medals. Well, next up. Para sportjourneys further east for a japanese double header with the paralympics in tokyo next year before the para World Championships in kobe in 2021. Now japan finished 21st on the medals table in dubai with only 2 golds and theyll be desperate for the legacy of their games next year, to see them shoot up that table, lizzie. Much like brazil have done this time. I would say its a safe bet there will be quite a few japanese para athletes doing well in kobe in 2021. 0nto football and after englands huge win over montenegro last night qualifying them early for euro 2020 the rest of the home nations have plenty of work to do to stand a chance of reaching next summers tournament. Wales, scotland and Northern Ireland are all in action tomorrow. Wales are in baku to play bottom of group e side azerbaijan. Wales have had a mixed campaign so far and are currently fourth in the table, although they do have star turns gareth bale and aaron ramsey available. But with time running out to qualify for only their third major tournament in wales history, their manager ryan giggs knows this is a must win match for automatic qualification. We are running out of games, so were just focused on tomorrow and winning the game. Its as simple as that. And the plays are ready, thats right for the players are ready, they are looking forward to the game and excited. Its a challenging game, obviously travelling, is a good result last time against croatia, so its not an easy game but the lads are ready. Asa easy game but the lads are ready. As a beach and had a good result last time. Seek scotland are also fourth in theirgroup, but unlike wales theyre a long way behind leaders belgium and second placed russia, so whatever happens in their final two games against cyprus and kazakhstan, their best hopes are in the play offs in march because of their Nations League results. Alister lamont reports from nicosia. Nicosia in november is decidedly less autumnal in scotland at this time of year. Thats one thing that ease the pain of being a travelling supporter right now. But the man in charge is helping for brighter days ahead for all concerned. Charge is helping for brighter days ahead for all concernedlj charge is helping for brighter days ahead for all concerned. I think within the group, within the training, when we get together, things are getting better. But until we start winning matches on the pitch, no one is going to see that. Scotlands supporters have long replaced expectation with hope and even that is wearing thin. Nonetheless, ending the campaign on a minor high is a must. To an extent, we have to win, but the performance is important, as well. He is trying to build a better record, better performance in advance of the play offs to come, so its got some impetus. Thats what were here for. If we can win this game, beat the guys in kazakhstan, we are in third place, that will help us Going Forward into the play offs. Help us Going Forward into the playoffs. Showing off some of the best players, this beleaguered squad has much to prove in the coming days. I think we owe it to ourselves and to the gaffer. Obviously fans have been brilliant, home and away, they travel with us everywhere, which is superb. And we know that because thats so close to him, how kind of proud they would be if, first, we get a few results and going into the big games and much, we do well in them as well. Victory for scotland over cyprus has not been given for a long time. Remember the injury time winner back in the halcyon days of the late 80s, all three meetings since then have been decided by a solitary goal including a match at hampden injune with a last minute winner. But find a way to win tomorrow scotland must if steve clarke is to finally build some positivity ahead of the euro 2020 play offs next spring. Northern irelands chances of qualifying are also hanging by a thread, third in the group of death behind germany and leaders the netherlands who theyre playing tomorrow. The match in belfast could also be Michael Oneills last home game in charge after he was appointed the stoke manager, although he would still manage them if they reach the play offs which is probably their best hope of qualification. After the last match between the two sides, netherlands coach Ronald Koeman said Northern Ireland were terrible to watch. I think the pressure was of us from the start. We werent expecting to qualify from this group with the to big names in it, but we still had the chance mathematically, so we have to go out there and give our all and see what happens. Given what Ronald Koeman said, without the extra motivation for the fans, if not the players . Yeah, i think youll get a good reception from the fa ns youll get a good reception from the fans on saturday, i think it adds a bit of fuel to the fire for us players, definitely. Well, while the premier league takes an international break, the fa are calling on supporters to get behind womens football and theyre taking advantage of the empty stadia to stage what could be some record breaking derby matches. Jo currie reports. So for the seasons weve already seen so for the seasons weve already seen several so for the seasons weve already seen several Womens Super League match is being held at grounds, people starting to embrace their womens sides, and they are being rewarded with huge fun numbers with the likes of manchester city, chelsea and west ham affecting tens of thousands of supporters when theyve held the matches at men stadium, this weekend its the turn of liverpool who are hosting the womens team here in a League Fixture for the first time for supper and its a big one, against everton in the merseyside derby. We wa nt to everton in the merseyside derby. We want to embrace the occasion and enjoy it, and i think thats something we will do. We want to put ona something we will do. We want to put on a performance. Especially for a merseyside derby, i think youve a lwa ys merseyside derby, i think youve always got that bit of fire in your belly, a bit more, than a usual game is obviously its a big occasion. This weekend are set to be a wonderful occasion for liverpools women but it comes at a critical point in their season. Currently bottom of the Womens Super League table, having gained just one point from their opening five matches. However the manager insists there is a calm atmosphere in the dressing room ahead of what will be their biggest game of the season, so far. I think it doesnt matter what age you are, whether youre i think it doesnt matter what age you are, whetheryoure men, women, it doesnt matter, its a derby. We have the ultimate respect for each other as pubs, but it is a fierce, feisty game at times. Ultimate respect for each other as clubs. Its important they keep class about them and control what they can control and term up and perform and not let the occasion but get the better of them. Liverpool hope this will finally kick start their season. Everton have started more brightly, three wins from their opening five games meaning they are towards the top of the table. And when they were out here on sunday, they will be starting as favourites. But it will be liverpool hoping this iconic stadium can finally inspire them to the first win of the season. Living onto tennis. Moving onto tennis. He may be world number one again but rafal nadal is still not guaranteed a place in the last four of the world tour finals despite beating Stefanos Tsitsipas today. Patrick gearey has the details. This was tenniss generation game, two men from two heroes. The old regime has proven difficult overthrow. Its a battle, particularly when men like nad al are under pressure. particularly when men like nad al are under pressure. Men like nadal. City press is already in the finals but produced shot for shot. Tsitsipas is already in the finals. He was soon doing all he could to keep up. Nadal has a 19 grand slams and a little pink gold medal, his body has been broken and repair, he has done it all, and yet doing it again so matter so much to him. Doing it again so matter so much to him. And olympic gold medal. He dragged this to a decider. Tsitsipass generation is sometimes derided as snowflakes but the young man battle, his resilience over the ove 1120 m e man battle, his resilience over the ove rco m e by man battle, his resilience over the overcome by nadals brilliance. No wonder tsitsipas wanted it to text, barely believable even on replay. A break at a crucial time, again, later, nadal finally break at a crucial time, again, later, nadalfinally finished break at a crucial time, again, later, nadal finally finished the contest. Still not enough to ensure a place in the last four, but he ranked on top of the row. The old one is still the best. Still to come on sportsday.

Several top british athletes are threatening to sue the British Olympic Association over sponsorship regulations. Sirmo farah, Katarina Johnson thompson and adam gemili are among those listed as claimants in a legal letter sent to the boa today. They argue their earning potential is being damaged. The biggest sort of restrictions for rule a0 is actually limiting what sort of sponsorship you can work with leading up to an olympic games. Its with leading up to an olympic games. Its very restrictive when youre in and around the olympic time, you cant really put anything on social media, you cant really work with brands, any marketing campaigns. And if you are going to work with anyone it has to be subject to approval by the poa, and it has to be submitted before may, and a lot of athletes dont even know if theyre going to the games untiljune. Wejust dont even know if theyre going to the games untiljune. We just want athletes to be able to get their own sponsors leading up to an olympics where they might not necessarily get this opportunity again. In their one moment, there is a restricted and they cant become well known because rule a0 stop them becoming well known. And its ridiculous. Its well known. And its ridiculous. Its really unfair and unjust and, yes, change needs to happen. The boa have responded this evening, saying their funding model is different to many other National Olympic committees, who receive direct government funding. Rule a0 is an ioc rule which we apply in our territory and is the protection that allows us to fund such activities for all athletes.
