arabian—backed takeover of newcastle united has today been completed. the premier league approved the takeover after receiving "legally binding assurances" that the saudi state would not control the club. there were jubilant scenes outside stjames's park, where fans had gathered to wait for the news. the sale went through after the deal passed the premier league owners' and directors' test, bringing to an end mike ashley's 1a—year spell as newcastle united owner. we have to try and stay patient but absolutely be excited, be happy because fans have had nothing relate to cheer for 1h years and now fans have not really mattered for 1h years and now that i'm sure will change. if any sets of fans deserve and i know i think it is newcastle united fans who were very close number of years

down in turin to beat belgium 3—2 and qualify for the uefa nations league final. romelu lukaku put belgium 2—0 up heading towards half—time, and it looked as though they were on the way to sunday's showpiece in milan. but a stunning second half from didier deschamps' side saw karim benzema and kylian mbappe take the game level before lukaku had a goal ruled out for offside. then in stoppage time, theo hernandez struck a wonderful left—footed goal passed thibaut courtois to see his side move through to the final, where they'll play spain. history will be made at saturday's world cup qualifier between england and andorra as an all—female team of officials will take charge. it will be the first time a senior england men's international match will have had all women officials. ukraine's kateryna monzul, refereeing the women's world cup quarterfinal here, takes charge of the england andorra match, while compatriots maryna striletska and svitlana grushko will assist. france's stephanie frappart will be the var official. monzu, became the first woman to officiate a men's top division match in ukraine in 2016. england's ross mcgowan set a course record 10—under—par to lead by a stroke after the opening round of the spanish open in madrid. two—time defending championjon rahm is nicely placed two shots further back as he looks to make it a third successive title. the world number one fired seven birdies and an eagle with just the one bogey in a solid round. the queen's baton relay for next year's commonwealth games in birmingham has officially been launched from buckingham palace. paralympic champion kadeena cox was presented with the baton by her majesty for the first leg of the 90,000—mile journey that will see 7500 bearers take the baton through all 72 nations and territories of the commonwealth, carrying a message from the queen that will be read out at opening of the games nextjuly. it was an absolute honour. firstly to meet the queen again and just to be able to have a quick chat with her. and then, yeah, just being friends is a diverse background, you know i'm a disabled female black person and i think that represents what this games is about and what birmingham is about and that diversity so to be able to start in this way i just thought was so special and made me feel really special and made me feel really special to be a part of it. looking forward to those commonwealth games he can get more on that and anything else on the bbc sports website that is all your support for now. hello again. thursday saw the arrival of some very warm air across the uk. temperatures leapt by about seven celsius. many of us had quite a bit of cloud, but we had some sunshine. for example, in north wales in denbighshire. and next door to this in flintshire, that was where the warmest places in the country was. 22 degrees celsius the top temperature. that is eight degrees celsius warmer than it should be at this time of the year. the october average is 1a degrees. now, we've had extensive cloud across the north west for both scotland and northern ireland. here, a slow—moving weather front has a bringing rain through thursday. more rain to come overnight into friday, friday night and into saturday, as well, for some across scotland and northern ireland cos this front is barely budging. furthersouthwards, well, we've got quite a bit of cloud reforming, some mist and fog patches turning quite dense. as well as that, there's a bit of drizzle around. so, quite a murky start to the day for many in england and wales, with that mist and fog and low cloud slow to thin a break. but eventually, come the afternoon, we should start to get some brighter weather through. the exception, well, for northern ireland and scotland, there's more rain here, heaviest in argyll and highland. and we've got a very weak weather front moving into east anglia and south east england. that willjust thicken the cloud up enough to bring occasional spots of light rain or drizzle as well. but otherwise, very mild again, temperatures running into the low 20s. now, this weekend, this cold front will start to push its way southwards. it is a weak front. it will bring some fresher air in from the north and west, which temperatures easing down a few degrees as we go through the weekend. now, saturday, again mist and fog patches to start the day across england and wales, but probably a better chance of seeing some sunshine through the afternoon. the rain in scotland and northern ireland actually starts to budge, so it should brighten up across the north west of both later in the afternoon, but the rain heading into cumbria and northumberland. that same weather front is this stripe of cloud across east anglia and the south east on sunday. might get an odd spit of rain, but essentially a lot of dry weather on sunday. again with some sunny spells around, a few showers in northern scotland with strengthening wins here. and the temperatures easing down. 1a—15 degrees scotland and northern ireland, the far north of england. still 17—19 across england and wales. but it will continue to get a little bit fresher, those temperatures coming back closer to average in the week ahead. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore. senate leaders reach a temporary dealer to raise the us government debt ceiling but are they just kicking
