with us, now it is time to join our BBC News teams where you are.

:00:14.:00:17.

You are with BBC News. Two unarmed policewomen have been

:00:17.:00:22.

killed in a gun and grenade attack in Mottram in Greater Manchester.

:00:22.:00:27.

The officers have been named as 32- year-old Fiona Bone and 23-year-old

:00:27.:00:30.

Nicola Hughes. Detectives believe the call reporting a burglary might

:00:30.:00:34.

have been made by Dale Cregan who was already wanted for questioning

:00:34.:00:38.

about the murders of a father and son earlier this year. He is under

:00:38.:00:42.

arrest after walking into a nearby police station.

:00:42.:00:49.

A court in Paris ruled that a French magazine can't re-print or

:00:49.:00:52.

redistribute pictures of the Duchess of Cambridge sunbathing

:00:52.:00:57.

topless. The magazine has been told to hand over the pictures within 24

:00:58.:01:04.

hours. Inflation has fallen. The rate in August was 2.5% compared

:01:04.:01:10.

with 2.6% in July. In Afghanistan NATO commanders have

:01:10.:01:16.

suspended the majority of joint patrols with local forces in

:01:16.:01:21.

response to a spate of attacks by men wearing Afghan uniforms.

:01:21.:01:31.
:01:31.:01:33.

Hello and welcome to Sportsday. I'm Jonathan Legard.

:01:33.:01:35.

Kevin Pietersen makes his apology to Andrew Strauss and England

:01:35.:01:38.

cricket officials, but is left out of the squad to tour India this

:01:38.:01:41.

winter. Champions League football returns

:01:41.:01:47.

tonight. Manchester City begin their challenge against the nine-

:01:47.:01:51.

time winners Real Madrid. Britain's Emma Pooley misses out on

:01:51.:01:54.

the medals by seven seconds at the Road Cycling Championships where

:01:54.:02:04.
:02:04.:02:13.

she was world champion two years Good evening.

:02:13.:02:16.

Kevin Pietersen says he is disappointed at being left out of

:02:16.:02:20.

the England cricket squad to tour India. He has claimed that he had

:02:20.:02:23.

gone to great lengths to reach a reconciliation with the England and

:02:23.:02:26.

Wales Cricket Board, apologising to former captain Andrew Strauss and

:02:26.:02:31.

meeting the new captain Alastair Cook. For their part, the ECB had

:02:31.:02:33.

confirmed discussions have taken place with the 32-year-old, but

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:43.

made clear there were issues still So long England's match winner and

:02:43.:02:47.

hero Kevin peter sen's fall from grace can be measured by the fact

:02:47.:02:51.

that his emission comes as no surprise. Has his England career

:02:51.:02:57.

come to an end? Not necessarily, but he has to resolve the issues. I

:02:57.:03:00.

keep usings this phrase and I am not going to use it much more. I

:03:00.:03:04.

think we have, I think it is time to close that issue for a while

:03:04.:03:07.

because we are talk being the England side going abroad. Yes, he

:03:07.:03:11.

is one of the best batsmen in the world, but it is not just about an

:03:11.:03:16.

individual, it is about a team, about a unit and if there are

:03:16.:03:21.

issues, issues have to be cleared. A statement released by his agent

:03:21.:03:31.
:03:31.:03:49.

He also said he remains available to England. All this comes as the

:03:49.:03:53.

Twenty20 side prepare to defend their World Cup title in Sri Lanka

:03:53.:03:58.

also without Pietersen. We have known for a while this is a squad

:03:58.:04:02.

where we are coming with. So as much as everyone else can talk

:04:02.:04:06.

about it, we are focusing on what we have got in the dressing room.

:04:06.:04:10.

People like myself, I'm thinking how I'm going to score runs and

:04:10.:04:13.

focus on what I'm doing. If I start worrying about people that aren't

:04:13.:04:18.

here, that's going to put us in bad stead.

:04:18.:04:23.

With Pietersen the England team is better, but team unity isn't. So he

:04:23.:04:28.

remains out in the cold this winter, but the next hot topic is whether

:04:28.:04:32.

he is recalled for the Ashes next summer.

:04:32.:04:42.

Here's the squad in full. Ravi Bopara who has been left out after

:04:42.:04:49.

a poor run of form. There are places though for two uncapped

:04:49.:04:55.

players. Nick Compton of Somerset and Yorkshire's Joe Root.

:04:55.:04:58.

The former England bowler Angus Fraser, director of cricket at

:04:58.:05:01.

Middlesex, told me he wasn't surprised by the decision not to

:05:01.:05:03.

select Pietersen after the controversial turn of events during

:05:03.:05:05.

the summer. It was inevitable really. I suppose it is when you

:05:05.:05:08.

see the list of names and K Pietersen is not in it, it becomes

:05:08.:05:14.

reality, but the ECB made the correct decision. I think by

:05:14.:05:18.

selecting him, they would have set a dangerous precedent in many ways.

:05:18.:05:23.

The message that would have sent through the game that yes, you can

:05:23.:05:28.

behave poorly, you can maybe show characteristics that the people in

:05:28.:05:31.

charge of the England set-up are not look for, but it doesn't matter

:05:31.:05:35.

if you are a good player because we'll pick you anyway. I think the

:05:35.:05:39.

fact that Kevin will have to wait longer to get back in the England

:05:39.:05:43.

side will do everybody good in the long run.

:05:43.:05:45.

Before the start of this year's County Championship, Nick Compton

:05:45.:05:48.

was probably better known to a wider cricket audience because of

:05:48.:05:50.

his grandfather, the brilliant batsman Denis Compton who starred

:05:50.:05:56.

for England in the middle of the last century. But belatedly at the

:05:56.:05:59.

age of 29, and after averaging 99 in 2012, Compton junior is making

:05:59.:06:04.

headlines of his own at the highest level. You learn your game later on

:06:04.:06:09.

I think as a Test player. There is a a lot of good players and Andrew

:06:09.:06:13.

Strauss Strauss being successful. Hopefully that will stand me in

:06:13.:06:17.

good stead and I can follow in their footsteps. I think it is a

:06:17.:06:20.

game that you learn later on in life. I think you learn your game.

:06:20.:06:24.

You go through trials and tribulations and get to the point

:06:24.:06:28.

that I have now. I feel I am in a place where I know my game pretty

:06:28.:06:33.

well and I know what I can do. Over the next three weeks 12 teams

:06:33.:06:36.

will battle to become crickets Twenty20 champions and it all got

:06:36.:06:39.

under way in Sri Lanka today as they took on Zimbabwe in the

:06:39.:06:41.

opening game. The hosts batted first and opener Tillakaratne

:06:41.:06:44.

Dilshan hit five fours in his brisk 39 before a fourth wicket

:06:44.:06:47.

partnership of 92 between Jeevan Mendis and Kumar Sangakarra pushed

:06:47.:06:55.

Sri Lanka up to 182-4. Zimbabwe struggled to keep batsman

:06:55.:06:59.

at the crease. Ajantha Mendis shone with the ball taking six wickets

:06:59.:07:07.

for just eight runs. Sri Lanka raced to victory by a big total, 82

:07:07.:07:13.

runs. The Champions League group stage

:07:13.:07:23.
:07:23.:07:28.

gets underway tonight. Real under Jose Mourhino are struggling. They

:07:28.:07:38.
:07:38.:07:39.

suffered another defeat on Saturday. That was their second defeat of the

:07:39.:07:41.

season and they're already eight points behind leaders Barcelona.

:07:41.:07:44.

Jose Mourinho doesn't seem too concerned about his sides recent

:07:44.:07:47.

run of form, and has also backed City to win the Champions League in

:07:47.:07:50.

the not too distant future. Good work and spending more money and

:07:50.:07:53.

buying better players and building an incredible sport and the first

:07:53.:07:58.

cup is coming. The first championship was coming. The

:07:58.:08:03.

Charity Shield was coming and I don't know. If it is this next

:08:03.:08:07.

season, if he is with Roberto, if he is with somebody else in the

:08:07.:08:14.

future, but normally in the direction that the club is going,

:08:14.:08:20.

sooner or later they can win the big cup.

:08:20.:08:25.

He is not jealous, is he? City will travel with some

:08:25.:08:28.

confidence to the Bernebeu although Roberto Mancini is waiting on the

:08:28.:08:30.

fitness of striker Sergios Aguero. Mancini's side are unbeaten after

:08:30.:08:40.
:08:40.:08:42.

four games of the Premier League season. I think we did a good group,

:08:42.:08:48.

but it was not enough. I think this year the group will be more

:08:48.:08:53.

stronger than last year, but you know, I think that will be very

:08:53.:08:58.

difficult for all the teams. Among the Manchester City

:08:58.:09:01.

travelling party in the Spanish capital is the club's Football

:09:01.:09:03.

Development Executive Patrick Vieira, his playing days may well

:09:03.:09:06.

be behind him now, but he's still excited about the return of

:09:06.:09:09.

Champions League football and the prospect of playing Real Madrid in

:09:09.:09:12.

the Bernebeu. He may have retired as a player, but the prospect of

:09:12.:09:13.

watching his club playing Real Madrid carries its magic.

:09:13.:09:16.

The Champions League draw is tough. It is really hard. It is really

:09:16.:09:21.

difficult, but when you want to play top football, when you want to

:09:21.:09:26.

play championship football, you have to favour this team. For the

:09:26.:09:35.

fans having a chance to go to Madrid or even Madrid come to the

:09:35.:09:41.

stadium here, it will be fantastic. It is really exciting. It is really

:09:41.:09:51.
:09:51.:09:51.

exciting, I can't wait for the Champions League to start.

:09:52.:09:54.

Vieira's former club, Arsenal, are also in action tonight. They take

:09:54.:09:56.

on the winners of last season's French championship Montpellier.

:09:57.:09:59.

Arsene Wenger will have to watch the match from the stands because

:10:00.:10:02.

he's serving a three match suspension, but his side go into

:10:02.:10:06.

the game on a high after thrashing Southampton 6-1 at the weekend.

:10:06.:10:11.

are focused and there is a great desire to do well. I said on

:10:11.:10:18.

Saturday that in the coming weeks it will tell more about us, but we

:10:18.:10:22.

have a great desire in the team, that's for sure.

:10:22.:10:27.

Some domestic football news for you. Stoke City defender Andy Wilkinson

:10:27.:10:30.

has been charged with violent conduct. The Football Association

:10:30.:10:32.

have taken the action following an incident with Manchester City's

:10:32.:10:35.

Mario Balotelli in Saturday's 1-1 draw at the Britannia Stadium.

:10:35.:10:37.

Wilkinson was involved in an altercation with the City striker

:10:37.:10:40.

which was missed by refereee Mark Clattenberg, but was caught on

:10:40.:10:45.

video. Wilkinson has until 6pm tomorrow to respond to the charge.

:10:46.:10:48.

Two years after winning gold in the world cycling championships time

:10:48.:10:51.

trial, Britain's Emma Pooley missed out on a bronze medal by nine seven

:10:52.:11:01.
:11:02.:11:02.

seconds at the World Road Cycling Championships in the Netherlands.

:11:02.:11:06.

It was hoped that the climbs on the road race course would suit the 29-

:11:06.:11:08.

year-old, who's considering taking a break from cycling, or retiring

:11:08.:11:11.

completely. She was second fastest when she finished the course, with

:11:11.:11:14.

two riders still to go. Linda Villumsen of New Zealand then beat

:11:14.:11:16.

Pooley's time to leave her provisionally third. There was then

:11:16.:11:24.

a nervous wait before the defending champion Judith Arndt came through.

:11:24.:11:27.

The German rider, who was second in the Olympic time trial, finished

:11:27.:11:30.

fastest by more than half a minute, to retain her world title and

:11:30.:11:35.

relegate Pooley to fourth place. The future of Britain's women

:11:35.:11:43.

cycling seems in good hands. Eleanor Barker finished 35 seconds

:11:43.:11:50.

clear of the field to win the rainbow jersey. It just hasn't sunk

:11:50.:11:56.

in in yesmt it is insane -- sunk in yet. It is insane. I am so happy.

:11:56.:12:00.

But to win it in a quality field. When you look at the times, you are

:12:00.:12:06.

in the form of your life? Oh, yeah. I can feel it. For the

:12:06.:12:11.

first couple of KI felt really like "this is really hard. Finishing is

:12:11.:12:16.

a long way away." I got into a rhythm and just stuck with it and I

:12:16.:12:24.

had no idea what the time gaps were anything and I just rode my hardest.

:12:24.:12:28.

The Rugby World Cup organisers suggested that London's Olympic

:12:28.:12:32.

Stadium could be used as a venue. He said it depends on how the

:12:32.:12:35.

stadium is developed between now and then.

:12:35.:12:40.

It is very difficult to play rugby in stadiums where the seats are too

:12:40.:12:47.

far back from the the stadium. We need to see the final configuration

:12:47.:12:52.

before we can commit to the venue, but we would love to, because it is

:12:52.:12:56.

obviously for those lucky enough to be there, so special, magical,

:12:56.:13:00.

close to London, great transport links and it would be fantastic to

:13:00.:13:05.

take the Rugby World Cup 2015 into that stadium, but it has to work.

:13:05.:13:10.

So we'll wait to see and and we are working with the authorities to see

:13:10.:13:15.

what their final decision will be, but fingers crossed we will be able

:13:15.:13:24.

to include it on the list. David Haye handed back his boxing

:13:24.:13:34.
:13:34.:13:35.

licence to pursue a fight against Klitschko next year. He lost his

:13:36.:13:45.
:13:46.:13:47.

title to Klitschko's younger brother.

:13:47.:13:52.

The British bobsleigh competitor Simon Carter has been suspended

:13:52.:13:59.

after failing a drugs test. His ban will run until 3rd April 2014 which

:14:00.:14:04.

means he will miss the winner Games in Russia in January next year.

:14:04.:14:14.
:14:14.:14:18.

That's it. We're back with more in This is BBC News. The headlines:

:14:18.:14:24.

Two unarmed policewomen have been killed in a gun and grenade attack

:14:24.:14:27.

in Mottram in Greater Manchester after being lured to a house.

:14:27.:14:32.

The officers have been named as 32- year-old Fiona Bone and 23-year-old

:14:32.:14:36.

Nicola Hughes. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

:14:36.:14:39.

have won their French legal battle to stop further publication of

:14:39.:14:44.

topless photos of the duchess. A court ruled that Closer magazine

:14:44.:14:47.

cannot publish or distribute the images.

:14:47.:14:51.

NATO confirmed it is scaling back operations with Afghan security

:14:51.:14:56.

forces following a string of deadly attacks on its personnel by rogue

:14:56.:15:03.

Afghan security forces. Maryam is here with the business

:15:03.:15:06.

news and more on the inflation figures.

:15:06.:15:11.

Chris, thank you very much. More on the latest inflation

:15:11.:15:17.

figures. We look at what they mean for the wider economy.

:15:17.:15:24.

A rise in profits for Manchester United.

:15:24.:15:32.

We look at competition for unemployed young people by clothing

:15:32.:15:37.

giant Benetton. The latest inflation have inflation

:15:37.:15:42.

figures have been released. Today's figures show the consumers prices

:15:42.:15:49.

index fell in August to 2.5%, that's down from 2.6% in July. The

:15:49.:15:55.

Retail Prices Index which includes housing costs fell to 2.9%, down

:15:55.:16:03.

from 3.2% in July. Well, let's get more from Jeremy Cooke.

:16:03.:16:07.

So what's your take on the figures? Good news. The fact that the rate
