no wicket fell for more than two and a half hours. say it quietly: "maybe". but english optimism on this tour is no sooner formed than shattered. the end of woakes, and, ultimately, hope. england dragged this into the evening. still there, jos buttler, the adelaide barricade. for so long, he'd hardly put a foot wrong, until... 0h, he's thrown it onto his stumps. he has! watch the lights on the bails, hit wicket, the last in a series of backward steps. england's day five fight was too little, too late. australia win the test match! they go up 2—0 in the ashes. we can'tjust leave it to the last day and expect to pull - off an enormous feat, which is what it - would have been today. the disappointing thing about this week is that we made the same . mistakes as last week. we just can't afford to do that. it's 4,000 days since they will last won a test in australia. to regain the ashes, they must now win three in a row. patrick geary, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. as we head towards christmas, there's going to be some big changes in the weather. from the middle part of the week it turns more unsettled, that means some rain in the forecast, is a milder air as well and then a battle, just in time for christmas, because the colder air return? more on that in a moment. pretty chilly out there at the moment. we do have a lot of cloud around, not the mist and fog we have had recently, and some breaks in the cloud are likely across parts of scotland, wales and the north west of england, so these areas more likely to have a frost. temperatures will be close to freezing for many exceptin will be close to freezing for many except in the far south—west where there is more of a breeze, and in northern ireland where we have this blanket of cloud keeping a pretty grey during tomorrow. but hopefully a bit more sunshine to come across england and wales will stop some eastern areas though could stay quite cloudy and we will see cloud across southern scotland pushing its way into the central belt, so quite a chilly looking, gloomy day here. generally temperatures similar to today and near normal for this time of year. but the weather is changing, because the high—pressure that has kept it quiet and settled is moving away, and instead this big area of low pressure swamping the atlantic, and around it we have these bands of rain, which will start to arrive on wednesday. but we start to arrive on wednesday. but we start with a widespread frost in scotland, england and wales, a bright start, it does cloud over. in the west the wind picks up, that cloud bring some rain across wales, western england, northern ireland, into scotland, bringing in some out there for western areas but ahead of it to the east, will be quite a cold feeling day i think during wednesday. beyond then, an area of low pressure, one band of rain moving away, another one starting to come in for thursday. this will bring some wetter weather northwards and eastwards. the wettest of the weather pushing its way up into scotland, and as the rain clears away from northern ireland and much of england and wales, we should actually see some sunshine. in those temperatures finally get a boost widely, getting up to ii or 12 degrees on thursday. now, if you are going to be travelling on christmas eve, in the morning it could potentially be quite misty and murky, with some areas of fog before we get some rain into the south—west, but by the time we get to christmas, this is where the battle is taking place. most of us will be in mild air, but there is a block of colder air and the far north, and with some bands of wet weather coming in from the south—west, hitting that colder air, if it is going to be a white christmas, it could possibly be cross some parts of scotland. just before we go, on tonight's news at ten we have a special report from our moscow correspondent steve rosenberg, on the growing tensions between russia and ukraine. we don't know what the kremlin is planning, but what is clear, from what president putin has been saying, is that, 30 years after the fall of the soviet union, vladimir putin remains deeply resentful of how the cold war ended, with russia losing territory, influence and empire, and if mr putin has decided that now is the moment to try to reverse that, that is a huge challenge to russia's neighbours, and to the west. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up in sportsday... the premier league ploughs on — the festive fixtures will go ahead despite the covid cancellations. england's cricketers crumble again, and they'll now have to make history if they're to leave australia with the ashes. we have to absolutely believe and have that same attitude as i mentioned that that we went about today. because if we do that, i'm convinced we've got what we need to win test matches. and, with just six weeks to go, team gb has named their three—person team for short—track speed skating. good evening. the footbal programme was really hit hard by covid over the weekend. six of ten premier league matches were called off, as were 19 in the footbal league, and the women's super league was also affected. but for now, with the busy festive schedule upon us, there will be no break. 0ur senior sports news reporter laura scott is at the premier league headquarters, where there was a virtual meeting today of all 20 members. laura, it seems the show must go on? yes, despite the fixture chaos over the weekend and the calls from players and managers for a so—called circuit breaker, including a suggestion that continuing with games was a huge risk to players and staff, today those in charge of the 20 clubs agreed that the festive feast of football should go on. a statement from the premier league said that while recognising a number of clubs are experiencing covid—i9 outbreaks and challenges, it is the league's collective intention to continue the current fixture schedule where safely possible. they said the health and well—being of all concern remains their priority, and the league will continue to monitor and reflect public health guidance, always proceeding with caution. that's the announcement from today's meeting. joe linsky takes a look at the destruction caused to football this weekend. it was taught�*s first match for a fortnight. typically it was thrilling. there 2—2 draw was one of four top—flight games to go ahead. the rest this weekend and fell to covid. still, the premier league will carry on. a majority of clubs are against a break in the schedule. 0ne concession comes in the fa cup. like last season, there is now no replace — which means more gaps in january to fix games in, and spurs now have three to catch up on. in those two weeks off, they had a europa league conference game — postponed too. but you if i have now awarded that to wrens, knocking spurs out. —— uefa. in an ongoing debate about fairness, should games go on with players have just recovered? is the calm edition still fair? chelsea's

calls the vaccination journey. that's still below the figures in the top leagues in europe. in italy and germany, it's higher than 90% full zapata and while bundesliga crowds are at half capacity,

open to full crowds. but some already don't have a boxing day outing. games are off for cardiff, northampton and forest green, but the efl say they'll carry on where they can. so the top—flight and lower leaks go in the same direction — pressing on with the festive schedule when so much is still uncertain. joe lynskey, bbc news. and uptake in the numbers, though it league operative much saying

vaccination l had an update on the vaccination figures within the premier league since mid october when we learned that 68% of players had been double jabbed. that's now up to 77%, and the premier league have indicated that this is above the nhs average across england, 25—25 —— 25—29 —year—olds, which are vaccinated with a single jab. the average age of a premier league player is 26.9 years. and of course, this is the double jabbed figures, there are also figures that they've released for anyone with 1—3 jabs, of course the booster programme going on at the booster programme going on at the moment, in its 92% of clubs, staff and players have had i—3, and 84% of players are on what they would call the vaccination journey. asjoe mentioned in his report, this is lagging behind some leagues in europe, but clearly the premier league will be pleased the figure has gone up since october. they like it to rise even further. we've heard juergen clock in the last week or so saying the vaccination is a matter of solidarity and togetherness. other managers being slightly more cautious in their approach to vaccination, saying they wouldn't want players to feel forced — but of course, across the league there is an encouragement to get players vaccinated because it will help every democrat everyone in the sport. those figures out in the last couple of hours, that 77% of premier league players have now been double vaccinated. a , league players have now been double vaccinated. n, , ., vaccinated. many thanks indeed, laura. another test, another heavy defeat for england cricketers in australia. the captainjoe root says they have to learn fast from their mistakes. they lost the second test by 275 runs in adelaide — and the way they are playing, the task of winning the next three tests to reclaim the ashes would seem nigh on impossible. it was always going to be survival mode on the final day to try and protect their six wickets in hand. a 6i—run partnership betweenjos buttler and chris woakes for the seventh wicket gave them a bit of hope, but not much and they were all out forjust 192 in the final session. australia going 2—0 up in the series with three to play. if you look at the first innings in particular, i thought we were just a little bit short with the ball, we didn't challenge them enough, we allowed them to leave and they left very well again. so we knew they would look to do as they did in brisbane very well. we need to get the ball up there, as soon as we get that in the first innings, the first hour, the chances are created. how dangerous we looked — that's almost the benchmark, moving forward. we made a concerted effort to try and pitch— made a concerted effort to try and pitch the _ made a concerted effort to try and pitch

mistakes, but where do they start with just six days to go before the boxing day test when they want to be competitive?— test when they want to be competitive? test when they want to be cometitive? ~

can learn from it that they didn't already know. the fact is that england's batting is weak, their top bowler is fallible, ithink batting is weak, their top bowler is fallible, i think there's a stat that in the last 12 months, joe root has come into bat numberfour, an average score of 37—2. that is not a situation where the overs have done theirjob. so the openers are suspect. the keen thing for england as they've got to make more runs. people like joe as they've got to make more runs. people likejoe root have blamed the bowlers and, understandably, there are things that bowlers can do better. but if they make more runs, england, than the bowler�*sjob better. but if they make more runs, england, than the bowler�*s job will be much easier, and that is fundamental — if you play in australia, you've got to make big scores. australia do that very well, england don't. the scores. australia do that very well, england don't-— england don't. the bare facts of it is that england — england don't. the bare facts of it is that england have _ england don't. the bare facts of it is that england have never- england don't. the bare facts of it is that england have never come i england don't. the bare facts of it - is that england have never come from 2-0 is that england have never come from 2—0 down to win an extra series in history. this could be history making, but for bleary—eyed england fans at home, this is been a rather masochistic exercise and sleep deprivation. what's their motivation to do it all again on boxing day? iii to do it all again on boxing day? if you look back to 2006— 07 when england got beaten 5—0, there were players in that england team — they were in that 2006— 07 side, but the experience that they gleamed from playing australia then by acquitting themselves well, even in a losing quarter, it was vital because in 2010-11, quarter, it was vital because in 2010—11, those same players were dominant and helped win. even if england don't come back in this series, and i doubt that they'll be able to, there's a lot to be gained. and, to usejoe's word, learn— there's a lot to be learned from playing well in australia, so when he comes back in four years time, and number of displaying squad will hopefully be at their peak, and they'll be able to use the experience of this series to be able to really profit and prevail next time they are in australia. but in the here and _ time they are in australia. but in the here and now, _ time they are in australia. but in the here and now, when - time they are in australia. but in i the here and now, when australia's tales are up, which they are, they are an unstoppable force some thoughts? are an unstoppable force some thou~hts? , are an unstoppable force some thoughts?— are an

raw facts, australia with their - thoughts? yes, when you look at the raw facts, australia with their full - raw facts, australia with their full team available, i think they have seven genuine world—class match winners. england, in australian conditions, have two match winners. it's unbalanced, england also haven't had preparation that you need to play in australia — which wasn't their fault, it's covid, need to play in australia — which wasn't theirfault, it's covid, it's terrible weather before the first test, meaning hardly anyone had any batting or bowling practice. england have got excuses in a way, but the discrepancy in ability between the two teams is fairly large. it two teams is fairly large. it certainly seems that way so far. simon hughes, many thanks indeed. let's have a quick look at some of today's other headlines... rafa nadal has tested positive for covid—i9, after making his comeback from injury in an exhibition event in abu dhabi last week. the 20—time grand slam champion says he will have to reassess his schedule, according to his recovery. the australian open starts in four weeks. former tour de france winner geraint thomas has signed a new two—year contract with ineos grenadiers. after a difficult couple of seasons, mared by crashes and injuries, thomas says he's "still super motivated" he's been at the team since it was founded in 2010 geva mentor returns to england's 15—women squad for next month's netball quad series against australia, new zealand, and south africa, the roses are in good form after the recent series win overjamaica. the women's tennis association says it still woried that the two—time grand slam doubles champion, peng shuai, is being censored by the chinese state. she's given her first interview since accusing a top politician of sexual coercion and abuse. she told singaporean chinese—language newspaper that there have been "a lot of misunderstandings" about the initial allegations. i've spoken to the bbc�*s china correspondent robin brant. the most interesting thing is that she said during the interview, that her story wasn't true. she recanted what she had appeared to say back in that post, which is like china's twitter, back in november. she said in this interview the other day, "i have never said nor written that anyone had sexually assaulted me." backin anyone had sexually assaulted me." back in that posting, originally in chinese but translated to english in the first few days of november, she said that a senior chinese party communist party official here had forced her to have sex with him before they had a consensual relationship. so this isn'tjust her claiming that things were untrue or inaccurate, this is a recounting of the story. inaccurate, this is a

her safety, security, ability to speak freely, and her safety, security, ability to speakfreely, and her ability her safety, security, ability to speak freely, and her ability to live freely. this event in shanghai was clearly a managed event, she appeared alongside a handful of other sports personalities, gave this apparent interview, and she was gone. we've seen her at a handful of other events in beijing a couple weeks ago, they were also managed events, a tennis tournament, she appeared at a restaurant as well, and then we saw that still of her zoom call with the ioc president. they are managed events and their ongoing concerns about her safety, security and, crucially here in china in particular, her ability to speakfreely. we've had the draw for the knockout stages of the women's champions league. arsenal are the only remaining english side in the competition, and have the tough task of facing german club wolfsburg, who knocked out last years finalists chelsea. earlier, i spoke to our women's sport reporterjo currie. aside from the fact that chelsea aren't there because they were knocked out of the group stages — it was never going to easy, whoever arsenal played against. they were unseated for this draw, so again they were always going to be caught out against a team who finished top of their group. wolfsburg have huge european experience. last week, they beat chelsea 4—0. they are unbeaten in the league, so that should be a cracking game, but it's not easy for arsenal. f cracking game, but it's not easy for arsenal. j ., , cracking game, but it's

defending champions, very much seen as the best team in the world right now, they've got alexia protest amongst their ranks who've just been named their ranks who've just been named the winner and widely regarded as the winner and widely regarded as the best player in the world. they beat arsenal 4—0 and 4—1 in the group stages. should they get past them in the quarters, the need to get past barcelona for the final. it'll be a tough run in for them. do they deserve to win it? a look at the other side of the draw, who do we think is most likely to come through their quarters and semifinal?
