Suzi Perry presents coverage from Spain of the final MotoGP race of the season. Valentino Rossi has already wrapped up his sixth world title but has unfinished business at the Valencia circuit, having come a cropper there in the past two years. In 2006, he led the overall standings going into the race but slid off the track on lap five, handing the title to American Nicky Hayden. And last year, the Italian superstar broke three bones in his hand in qualifying and then suffered engine failure during the race itself. Charlie Cox and Steve Parrish are the commentators.

Dave Woods presents highlights of England's opening game in the 2008 Rugby League World Cup in Townsville, Australia. The first World Cup was held back in 1951, but there have only been 11 tournaments since then, the last of which was eight years ago. Hosts Australia have lifted the World Cup nine times and are favourites to triumph once again. But England, under the stewardship of Australian-born Tony Smith, hope to at least reach the final - many of their squad have been part of the Great Britain team that beat New Zealand in the Test series last year and their star players are likely to include captain Jamie Peacock and newly-crowned Man of Steel James Graham.

With highlights of Australia's first match of the tournament against old rivals New Zealand, whom they beat in the 2000 World Cup final at Old Trafford, plus studio guests Ian Millward and former GB head coach Brian Noble.

Highlights from Australia, including England's match with Papua New Guinea.  I Digital viewers can see World Cup highlights through the week

Jake Humphrey presents live coverage from Wembley where the San Diego Chargers face the New Orleans Saints, the second NFL game staged in London. With NFL legend Jerry Rice.

Jake Humphrey presents coverage from Wembley where the San Diego Chargers face the New Orleans Saints. It is the second time that the National Football League has staged a competitive game in London, following on from last year's fixture between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, which attracted more than 80,000 fans and proved a huge success despite the damp conditions.

San Diego hope to emulate the Giants, who beat Miami and then went on to win the Super Bowl itself the following February. Last season, the Chargers reached the last four and are expected to win at Wembley against a New Orleans side, who are the sentimental favourites given the way their city has tried to rebuild itself after the destruction of Hurricane Katrina three years ago.

NFL Legend Jerry Rice joins Jake in the studio, with commentary from the CBS duo of Jim Nantz and Phil Simms.

American Fervour

BBC Two - The American Future: A History, by Simon Schama, American Fervour

Simon explores how faith has shaped American political life.

Simon explores how faith has shaped American political life and shows how, throughout American history, it has played a crucial role in the fight for freedom.

While the 2008 presidential campaign is in full swing, Simon Schama travels through America to dig deep into the conflicts of its history to understand what is at stake right now.

Simon explores the ways in which faith has shaped American political life. His starting point is a remarkable fact about the coming election: for the first time in a generation it is the Democrats who claim to be the party of God. It is Barack Obama, not John McCain, who has been talking about his faith. In Britain we have always thought of American religion as a largely conservative force, yet Simon shows how throughout American history it has played a crucial role in the fight for freedom. 

Faith helped create America - it was the search for religious freedom that led thousands to make the dangerous journey to the colonies in the 1600s. After independence was won, that religious freedom was enshrined in the constitution; America was the first country in the world to do so. Simon also looks at the remarkable role the black church has played, first in the liberation of the slaves in the 1800s, and again in the civil rights movement of the 1960s; neither would have happened without its religious activists. It is this very church that has been the inspiration for Barack Obama, who traces the roots of his political inspiration to his faith.
