Emmanuel macrons party has a big majority. Despite the strikes and the slide in the polls, the president s team is pushing on. We are starting with tough measures because we found a budget which was really a huge problem for our country, so we had to take tough decisions. Better to take them now than not to take them at all.

And theres good news for fans of cristiano ronaldo, because portugal will be in russia next year. They knew a win over switzerland would take them through as group winners. An own goal and this from andre silva gave them a 2 0 win in lisbon and resigned the swiss to a play off spot. The netherlands were in need of a miracle seven goal win over sweden if they were to finish second in group a. But it wasnt to be despite a 2 0 win at home. Aden arjen robben put them ahead from the penalty spot. The dutch miss out on the world cup while sweden will be amongst the teams in the play offs. France ended up as winners in group a, above sweden they wrapped up qualifying with a 2 1 win at home to belarus helped by goals from Antoine Griezmann and olivier giroud.

They must now play either panama or honduras for a place in russia. It was meant to happen and we deserved it. It was a tough game. We believed and we knew that it was going to go to the end.

The var system is due to be used in england for the first time injanuary for fa cup televised games at premier league grounds. We have a fast flowing game of football, we want to harness technology. We have to do it in a way that is sympathetic to the flow of the game. Part of the training is honing the skills. If we can do something in 30 seconds rather than 40, 20 rather than 30 and we will not impact on the flow of the game and we can still have the advantages. There was a good win for aljaz bedene at the shanghai masters, he beat the italina Paolo Lorenzi in straight sets to reach the second round. It wasnt such a good day for fellow brit kyle edmund.

Olympic gold medal winning hockey player Helen Richardson walsh has suffered with depression throughout her career. Shes been speaking to us about her experience and how shes been dealing with it. There were periods of times when i found that i was always really upset, really emotional, crying quite a lot. That is when you start to think this is not normal, this isnt right, to be feeling like that consistently and just getting upset for no apparent reason. So i think that was when it really struck me that, 0k, that was when it really struck me that, ok, i need to do something about this, i need to try to find help. Actually, itried about this, i need to try to find help. Actually, i tried to deal with that in a positive way by writing a blog, particularly for my second back injury. Actually, in doing that, it cannot open myself up to my team mates and the rest of the squad. It kind of opened myself up. It allowed them to know what is going on in my mind. When we turned up going on in my mind. When we turned up to training, they were not thinking should i go over and speak to helen or leave her today, im not sure what to do, they could kind of know a bit more and be a bit more aware. Even if it was just looking, i know what is going on, a shoulder, a hand on the shoulder, that support really helped me. That came from the opening up to them.

You can see if they do on the bbc sport website from 1 30am. Now time for the papers. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are deborah haynes, defence editor at the times and jessica elgot, Political Correspondent at the guardian. Great to see you both. Thanks for coming in. The Financial Times says that theresa may has risked upsetting both sides of the Brexit Debate by refusing to say how she would vote in another referendum. There are reports that the nhs pay cap is to be scrapped amid looming cuts to health services. The telegraph talks about glenna paltrow and angelina jolie, alleging they we re and angelina jolie, alleging they were sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein when starting in hollywood. The sun also leads on those claims. The express has an interview with a former home office chief who says more than i million illegal immigrant is are unlikely to ever be removed from the uk. The guardian says runny eggs are back on the menu for pregnant women, decades after the salmonella crisis. The times leads on an article by the chancellor, in which he refuses to commit billions of pounds in the budget to plan for no deal on brexit. And the macro pitches the duchess of cambridge for the First Time Since she revealed she was expecting her third child. We will begin with the telegraph, the hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein. It seems like more and more people are coming out and speaking about their own experiences. In the case of the male actors and producers that he worked with, some of the female ones that did not experience this, they said they heard the rumours and did nothing and they are sorry about that. It is bizarre, really, this whole thing seemed to go on for 30 yea rs whole thing seemed to go on for 30 years and nobody felt able to say anything about it . Doesnt that speak about the awful culture that has been allowed to exist, that you have actresses as world famous as Gwyneth Paltrow and angelina jolie, who have literally kept silent all this time about the abuses that they say they suffered. I think it brings it home to you when you have household names like that, the idea ofa household names like that, the idea of a young Gwyneth Paltrow, she has spoken about it today, talking about when she was 22 being asked into a hotel room where wine steam was and being engaged in mass archers. Weinstein. And brad pitt confronted him and said not to touch her again. He then went and laid into Gwyneth Paltrow and told her never to tell anyone. So she said that she has felt that she has had to keep this secret all the time. And she has finally had the strength to come out and tell people. Because one woman had the courage to come out a view days ago in the article in the new yorker. He denies all of the allegations, although he has gone into counselling, apparently and says he is hoping to move forward. Do you think it is possible for him to have a second chance, given that some of the allegations now centre on rape . Yes, and the board of his Reduction Company do not think it is possible. He has been sacked from that. Once these kind of allegations are on the front pages of the papers, the sheer weight of the amount of people that are talking about this, and it should be said that it about this, and it should be said thatitis about this, and it should be said that it is notjust massive hollywood stars, it seems to be a litany of sony people that he has a p pa re ntly litany of sony people that he has apparently worked with over the yea rs. Apparently worked with over the years. Of so many people. Once it is out there and the floodgates have opened, people start feeling brave enough to speak out about it, it does not seem to me that you can salvage any kind of career from that. Nor should you, salvage any kind of career from that. Norshould you, if salvage any kind of career from that. Nor should you, if they are correct. Indeed, the company itself that he founded with his brother, they may have to change the name a p pa re ntly they may have to change the name apparently because it is going to be too tainted, the damages as the result of this . You hope that maybe it will change the culture. I have nothing to do with hollywood, but you do hear about the auditioning sofa, that thing. The casting couch, where it comes from. Maybe it is a wake up calland where it comes from. Maybe it is a wake up call and things will change. The front page of the
