Some of the stories making the news

Carbon emissions and refugee numbers

Nick Marshall-McCormack

has all the sport.

Thanks very much. He was showered in

confetti and he lifted the trophy

high, what a night for Grigor

Dimitrov after he won the biggest

tennis tournament of his career at

the ATP finals in London. He had to

break David Goffin three times to

see to win but he only needed one

break to win the match. The third

set a tough encounter. It had the

fans loving the desperate

shotmaking. The crucial break was on

the sixth game and Dimitrov sealed

the win with his fifth match point.

Winning $2.5 million for his

trouble. He will finish the year as

the world number three.

Tommy Fleetwood has been crowned

European world number one golfer,

for the first time, after a dramatic

collapse from Justin Rose,

at the World Tour Championship.

Spain's Jon Rahm won the last event

of the season while Rose sacrificed

a one shot lead to throw

away his chance of winning enough

points to beat Fleetwood.

Our golf correspondent, Iain Carter,

was watching the action in Dubai.

No one would have seen this coming,

particularly when Justin Rose was

apparently cruising towards victory,

not just in the world tour

championship, but also in the race

to Dubai. A top two finish would

have got the job done. Rose went to

the turn in 32 and was looking very

comfortable throughout the entire

front nine. But at the 12, he

dropped a shot, at the 14th, he

found the water, and at the 16th,

more bunker trouble and that was

another drop-shot. It meant he

needed a birdie, birdie finish, he

found a birdie on the 17th, nearly

got that bunker shot but could not

find the Eagle he needed at the

last, only a birdie, finished in a

share of fourth place. And Tommy

Fleetwood who had a poor day round

in 74, he finished in 20 First Place

and had enough in the bank to make

sure he was the race to Dubai

champion.

I've been saying it for a

while that The Race to Dubai is

very, very cool.

2017 can never be

beaten, can it?

No, it's been a big one.

Baby Frankie arriving

safely, and he's great.

I'm going to get married

in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, I mean, it's been the best

year of my life by an absolute mile.

And, you know, on the course,

it's been great.

I've played some of the bestgolf

of my career and done things that

I've never done before.

What a cruel game it can be at

times.

I guess so. The 12th hole was a

disappointing estate with an eight

iron into the green and even going

down the par-5, everything was in

hand. Just hit a poor shot into the

water which I guess ultimately kind

of just put me chasing. And it was

tough to make something happen.

David Moyes's first match in charge

of West Ham was a 2-0 loss

to Watford on Sunday,

in the English Premier League.

Moyes was taking charge

since Slaven Bilic was dismissed,

and he made three changes

to the side thrashed

by Liverpool two weeks ago,

including the return of Andy

Carroll.

But West Ham's attack was weak

and their creaky defence was exposed

again by Marco Silva's men.

Will Hughes and Richarlison scored

in Watford's only second

home win this season.

Watford climb to eighth on 18

points with the win,

while West Ham are stuck

in the relegation zone.

We want to be in the Games. We

stayed in the game for most of it.

We made a couple of chances to get

ourselves goals, we did not get them

today. The girls change games. You

get them, it covers a multitude of

sins. We didn't take the chances

today so we have to play better,

that is what I think. I did not

really enjoyed bits of the

performance that if we had got the

girls, I think it would have turned

things round a bit.

And that's all the Sport for now.

Thank you, see you soon. A reminder

of the top story. The President of

Thank you, see you soon. A reminder

of the top story. The President of

Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe, has defied

his party by giving an address to

the nation in which he was expected

to announce his resignation, but he

did not. Many Zimbabweans are

reported to be baffled by the

President's move. He was given 24

hours to announce his resignation as

President, after the Zanu-PF party,

which he founded removed him as

leader.

In his televised address, he

insisted he will preside over the

Party Congress that is happening in

December. This is after the military

appeared to take power, although he

remains very much in the role of

President. Refusing to stand down,

defying those calls.

Plenty more reaction and analysis on

the BBC News website. That is being

updated all the time. This is BBC

World News today. Thanks for

watching.
