:00:17. > :00:22.You are with BBC News. Two unarmed policewomen have been
:00:22. > :00:27.killed in a gun and grenade attack in Mottram in Greater Manchester.
:00:27. > :00:30.The officers have been named as 32- year-old Fiona Bone and 23-year-old
:00:30. > :00:34.Nicola Hughes. Detectives believe the call reporting a burglary might
:00:34. > :00:38.have been made by Dale Cregan who was already wanted for questioning
:00:38. > :00:42.about the murders of a father and son earlier this year. He is under
:00:42. > :00:49.arrest after walking into a nearby police station.
:00:49. > :00:52.A court in Paris ruled that a French magazine can't re-print or
:00:52. > :00:57.redistribute pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing
:00:58. > :01:04.topless. The magazine has been told to hand over the pictures within 24
:01:04. > :01:10.hours. Inflation has fallen. The rate in August was 2.5% compared
:01:10. > :01:16.with 2.6% in July. In Afghanistan NATO commanders have
:01:16. > :01:21.suspended the majority of joint patrols with local forces in
:01:21. > :01:31.response to a spate of attacks by men wearing Afghan uniforms.

:01:33. > :01:35.Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Jonathan Legard.
:01:35. > :01:38.Kevin Pietersen makes his apology to Andrew Strauss and England
:01:38. > :01:41.cricket officials, but is left out of the squad to tour India this
:01:41. > :01:47.winter. Champions League football returns
:01:47. > :01:51.tonight. Manchester City begin their challenge against the nine-
:01:51. > :01:54.time winners Real Madrid. Britain's Emma Pooley misses out on
:01:54. > :02:04.the medals by seven seconds at the Road Cycling Championships where
:02:04. > :02:13.
:02:13. > :02:16.she was world champion two years Good evening.
:02:16. > :02:20.Kevin Pietersen says he is disappointed at being left out of
:02:20. > :02:23.the England cricket squad to tour India. He has claimed that he had
:02:23. > :02:26.gone to great lengths to reach a reconciliation with the England and
:02:26. > :02:31.Wales Cricket Board, apologising to former captain Andrew Strauss and
:02:31. > :02:33.meeting the new captain Alastair Cook. For their part, the ECB had
:02:33. > :02:43.confirmed discussions have taken place with the 32-year-old, but
:02:43. > :02:43.
:02:43. > :02:47.made clear there were issues still So long England's match winner and
:02:47. > :02:51.hero Kevin peter sen's fall from grace can be measured by the fact
:02:51. > :02:57.that his emission comes as no surprise. Has his England career
:02:57. > :03:00.come to an end? Not necessarily, but he has to resolve the issues. I
:03:00. > :03:04.keep usings this phrase and I am not going to use it much more. I
:03:04. > :03:07.think we have, I think it is time to close that issue for a while
:03:07. > :03:11.because we are talk being the England side going abroad. Yes, he
:03:11. > :03:16.is one of the best batsmen in the world, but it is not just about an
:03:16. > :03:21.individual, it is about a team, about a unit and if there are
:03:21. > :03:31.issues, issues have to be cleared. A statement released by his agent
:03:31. > :03:49.
:03:49. > :03:53.He also said he remains available to England. All this comes as the
:03:53. > :03:58.Twenty20 side prepare to defend their World Cup title in Sri Lanka
:03:58. > :04:02.also without Pietersen. We have known for a while this is a squad
:04:02. > :04:06.where we are coming with. So as much as everyone else can talk
:04:06. > :04:10.about it, we are focusing on what we have got in the dressing room.
:04:10. > :04:13.People like myself, I'm thinking how I'm going to score runs and
:04:13. > :04:18.focus on what I'm doing. If I start worrying about people that aren't
:04:18. > :04:23.here, that's going to put us in bad stead.
:04:23. > :04:28.With Pietersen the England team is better, but team unity isn't. So he
:04:28. > :04:32.remains out in the cold this winter, but the next hot topic is whether
:04:32. > :04:42.he is recalled for the Ashes next summer.
:04:42. > :04:49.Here's the squad in full. Ravi Bopara who has been left out after
:04:49. > :04:55.a poor run of form. There are places though for two uncapped
:04:55. > :04:58.players. Nick Compton of Somerset and Yorkshire's Joe Root.
:04:58. > :05:01.The former England bowler Angus Fraser, director of cricket at
:05:01. > :05:03.Middlesex, told me he wasn't surprised by the decision not to
:05:03. > :05:05.select Pietersen after the controversial turn of events during
:05:05. > :05:08.the summer. It was inevitable really. I suppose it is when you
:05:08. > :05:14.see the list of names and K Pietersen is not in it, it becomes
:05:14. > :05:18.reality, but the ECB made the correct decision. I think by
:05:18. > :05:23.selecting him, they would have set a dangerous precedent in many ways.
:05:23. > :05:28.The message that would have sent through the game that yes, you can
:05:28. > :05:31.behave poorly, you can maybe show characteristics that the people in
:05:31. > :05:35.charge of the England set-up are not look for, but it doesn't matter
:05:35. > :05:39.if you are a good player because we'll pick you anyway. I think the
:05:39. > :05:43.fact that Kevin will have to wait longer to get back in the England
:05:43. > :05:45.side will do everybody good in the long run.
:05:45. > :05:48.Before the start of this year's County Championship, Nick Compton
:05:48. > :05:50.was probably better known to a wider cricket audience because of
:05:50. > :05:56.his grandfather, the brilliant batsman Denis Compton who starred
:05:56. > :05:59.for England in the middle of the last century. But belatedly at the
:05:59. > :06:04.age of 29, and after averaging 99 in 2012, Compton junior is making
:06:04. > :06:09.headlines of his own at the highest level. You learn your game later on
:06:09. > :06:13.I think as a Test player. There is a a lot of good players and Andrew
:06:13. > :06:17.Strauss Strauss being successful. Hopefully that will stand me in
:06:17. > :06:20.good stead and I can follow in their footsteps. I think it is a
:06:20. > :06:24.game that you learn later on in life. I think you learn your game.
:06:24. > :06:28.You go through trials and tribulations and get to the point
:06:28. > :06:33.that I have now. I feel I am in a place where I know my game pretty
:06:33. > :06:36.well and I know what I can do. Over the next three weeks 12 teams
:06:36. > :06:39.will battle to become crickets Twenty20 champions and it all got
:06:39. > :06:41.under way in Sri Lanka today as they took on Zimbabwe in the
:06:41. > :06:44.opening game. The hosts batted first and opener Tillakaratne
:06:44. > :06:47.Dilshan hit five fours in his brisk 39 before a fourth wicket
:06:47. > :06:55.partnership of 92 between Jeevan Mendis and Kumar Sangakarra pushed
:06:55. > :06:59.Sri Lanka up to 182-4. Zimbabwe struggled to keep batsman
:06:59. > :07:07.at the crease. Ajantha Mendis shone with the ball taking six wickets
:07:07. > :07:13.for just eight runs. Sri Lanka raced to victory by a big total, 82
:07:13. > :07:23.runs. The Champions League group stage
:07:23. > :07:28.
:07:28. > :07:38.gets underway tonight. Real under Jose Mourhino are struggling. They
:07:38. > :07:39.
:07:39. > :07:41.suffered another defeat on Saturday. That was their second defeat of the
:07:41. > :07:44.season and they're already eight points behind leaders Barcelona.
:07:44. > :07:47.Jose Mourinho doesn't seem too concerned about his sides recent
:07:47. > :07:50.run of form, and has also backed City to win the Champions League in
:07:50. > :07:53.the not too distant future. Good work and spending more money and
:07:53. > :07:58.buying better players and building an incredible sport and the first
:07:58. > :08:03.cup is coming. The first championship was coming. The
:08:03. > :08:07.Charity Shield was coming and I don't know. If it is this next
:08:07. > :08:14.season, if he is with Roberto, if he is with somebody else in the
:08:14. > :08:20.future, but normally in the direction that the club is going,
:08:20. > :08:25.sooner or later they can win the big cup.
:08:25. > :08:28.He is not jealous, is he? City will travel with some
:08:28. > :08:30.confidence to the Bernebeu although Roberto Mancini is waiting on the
:08:30. > :08:40.fitness of striker Sergios Aguero. Mancini's side are unbeaten after
:08:40. > :08:42.
:08:42. > :08:48.four games of the Premier League season. I think we did a good group,
:08:48. > :08:53.but it was not enough. I think this year the group will be more
:08:53. > :08:58.stronger than last year, but you know, I think that will be very
:08:58. > :09:01.difficult for all the teams. Among the Manchester City
:09:01. > :09:03.travelling party in the Spanish capital is the club's Football
:09:03. > :09:06.Development Executive Patrick Vieira, his playing days may well
:09:06. > :09:09.be behind him now, but he's still excited about the return of
:09:09. > :09:12.Champions League football and the prospect of playing Real Madrid in
:09:12. > :09:13.the Bernebeu. He may have retired as a player, but the prospect of
:09:13. > :09:16.watching his club playing Real Madrid carries its magic.
:09:16. > :09:21.The Champions League draw is tough. It is really hard. It is really
:09:21. > :09:26.difficult, but when you want to play top football, when you want to
:09:26. > :09:35.play championship football, you have to favour this team. For the
:09:35. > :09:41.fans having a chance to go to Madrid or even Madrid come to the
:09:41. > :09:51.stadium here, it will be fantastic. It is really exciting. It is really
:09:51. > :09:51.
:09:52. > :09:54.exciting, I can't wait for the Champions League to start.
:09:54. > :09:56.Vieira's former club, Arsenal, are also in action tonight. They take
:09:57. > :09:59.on the winners of last season's French championship Montpellier.
:10:00. > :10:02.Arsene Wenger will have to watch the match from the stands because
:10:02. > :10:06.he's serving a three match suspension, but his side go into
:10:06. > :10:11.the game on a high after thrashing Southampton 6-1 at the weekend.
:10:11. > :10:18.are focused and there is a great desire to do well. I said on
:10:18. > :10:22.Saturday that in the coming weeks it will tell more about us, but we
:10:22. > :10:27.have a great desire in the team, that's for sure.
:10:27. > :10:30.Some domestic football news for you. Stoke City defender Andy Wilkinson
:10:30. > :10:32.has been charged with violent conduct. The Football Association
:10:32. > :10:35.have taken the action following an incident with Manchester City's
:10:35. > :10:37.Mario Balotelli in Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.
:10:37. > :10:40.Wilkinson was involved in an altercation with the City striker
:10:40. > :10:45.which was missed by refereee Mark Clattenberg, but was caught on
:10:46. > :10:48.video. Wilkinson has until 6pm tomorrow to respond to the charge.
:10:48. > :10:51.Two years after winning gold in the world cycling championships time
:10:52. > :11:01.trial, Britain's Emma Pooley missed out on a bronze medal by nine seven
:11:02. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:06.seconds at the World Road Cycling Championships in the Netherlands.
:11:06. > :11:08.It was hoped that the climbs on the road race course would suit the 29-
:11:08. > :11:11.year-old, who's considering taking a break from cycling, or retiring
:11:11. > :11:14.completely. She was second fastest when she finished the course, with
:11:14. > :11:16.two riders still to go. Linda Villumsen of New Zealand then beat
:11:16. > :11:24.Pooley's time to leave her provisionally third. There was then
:11:24. > :11:27.a nervous wait before the defending champion Judith Arndt came through.
:11:27. > :11:30.The German rider, who was second in the Olympic time trial, finished
:11:30. > :11:35.fastest by more than half a minute, to retain her world title and
:11:35. > :11:43.relegate Pooley to fourth place. The future of Britain's women
:11:43. > :11:50.cycling seems in good hands. Eleanor Barker finished 35 seconds
:11:50. > :11:56.clear of the field to win the rainbow jersey. It just hasn't sunk
:11:56. > :12:00.in in yesmt it is insane -- sunk in yet. It is insane. I am so happy.
:12:00. > :12:06.But to win it in a quality field. When you look at the times, you are
:12:06. > :12:11.in the form of your life? Oh, yeah. I can feel it. For the
:12:11. > :12:16.first couple of KI felt really like "this is really hard. Finishing is
:12:16. > :12:24.a long way away." I got into a rhythm and just stuck with it and I
:12:24. > :12:28.had no idea what the time gaps were anything and I just rode my hardest.
:12:28. > :12:32.The Rugby World Cup organisers suggested that London's Olympic
:12:32. > :12:35.Stadium could be used as a venue. He said it depends on how the
:12:35. > :12:40.stadium is developed between now and then.
:12:40. > :12:47.It is very difficult to play rugby in stadiums where the seats are too
:12:47. > :12:52.far back from the the stadium. We need to see the final configuration
:12:52. > :12:56.before we can commit to the venue, but we would love to, because it is
:12:56. > :13:00.obviously for those lucky enough to be there, so special, magical,
:13:00. > :13:05.close to London, great transport links and it would be fantastic to
:13:05. > :13:10.take the Rugby World Cup 2015 into that stadium, but it has to work.
:13:10. > :13:15.So we'll wait to see and and we are working with the authorities to see
:13:15. > :13:24.what their final decision will be, but fingers crossed we will be able
:13:24. > :13:34.to include it on the list. David Haye handed back his boxing
:13:34. > :13:35.
:13:36. > :13:45.licence to pursue a fight against Klitschko next year. He lost his
:13:46. > :13:47.
:13:47. > :13:52.title to Klitschko's younger brother.
:13:52. > :13:59.The British bobsleigh competitor Simon Carter has been suspended
:14:00. > :14:04.after failing a drugs test. His ban will run until 3rd April 2014 which
:14:04. > :14:14.means he will miss the winner Games in Russia in January next year.
:14:14. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:24.That's it. We're back with more in This is BBC News. The headlines:

:16:07. > :16:13.So what's your take on the figures? Good news. The fact that the rate
