12:46 am
women's nations league on tuesday with plenty still to be decided, nowhere more so than at hampden, where england are hoping to beat scotland emphatically to book their place in the knockout stages. but there's more to it than that. england are trying to qualify for next summer's olympics on behalf of team gb, so defeat for scotland on tuesday night could actually benefit some scottish players who want to be part of the great britain squad. not that they're thinking about it that way is joe curry now reports. that way as joe curry now reports. it's been a qualifying campaign of twists and turns for the lionesses, but now they're one game away from taking a big step towards securing team gb a spot at next summer's olympic games. itjust so happens to be against a very familiar foe, scotland. not only do you have to win it, but you have to score like this. there's goals that come along with it. it's notjust how you win.
12:47 am
you win the game, and it's done. we're going to have to really go for it, you know, just let loose. from the very first whistle to the last whistle. you know, sometimes you win in a game and you try to see it out. now it's like, we have to just go hell for leather. england sits second in the group level on points with netherlands, who have a better goal. who have a better goal difference of three, whilst belgium are only one point behind. and what that means is that england know they need to beat scotland and potentially by a big score if they're to secure a place in the nations league semi—finals. but does that pose a conflict to the scottish players? that's because if scotland win tonight, team gb won't go to paris. so any scottish players would also miss out if scotland players have any hopes of featuring at the games. they'll benefit from losing to england. does that not make it all a bit awkward? i've played for my country for as many years. i have to know the girls that are sitting there to know the ones who want to be here, who are injured and can't be here.
12:48 am
i think it's absolutely just the question, anyone's integrity. and i think it's a huge insult to us. the rudest thing i've ever heard, | i scotland a scottish . player would be i think if anything, that's going j to motivate the scottish players more to not lose to - england, that people would even question their integrity. scotland have already finished bottom of the group and will be relegated but can still prove to be england's final hurdle off the campaign. jo currie, bbc news, glasgow. well, next to a significant moment in england in the men's game where the premier league has agreed a new record, £6.7 billion domestic television deal for sky and tnt to show up to 270 live games a season. england's top flight says the deal, which covers the four years from the 2025—26 season, is the largest sports media rights deal ever concluded. in the uk, sky sports will show a minimum of 215 matches a season, while tnt sports will show a minimum of 52 games.
12:49 am
the deal comes into effect 2025—26 season. unsurprisingly, sky sports, who've shown the premier league since 1992, are the majority broadcasters. again, 215 games they'll will be showing in total. the current premier league deal still has two years on it. so the deals that we're talking about now don't come into effect until the 2025, 2026 season all sunday, 2pm kick offs, they're going to be live. obviously they will put in place to help teams that play in europe, some as late as thursday night. one more thing, though, there had been speculation that saturday kick offs at 3:00pm there could be a ban... sorry, a lifting of the ban to show these games that won't happen this time around. and a big part of the premier league thinking is that they want fans to go to the stadiums and watch football, notjust sit on their sofas at home and watch. and obviously the clubs need supporting with gate receipts and everything that comes with it as well. bbc�*s match of the day highlights assured to more on that on the bbc sport website next to rugby, where referee tom foley says he's taking a break from the international game
12:50 am
because of what he calls the torrent of criticism and abuse he received after the world cup final. foley was the television match official during that game, and a yellow card for new zealand's sam kane was upgraded to red after tmo review. he'll continue to officiate domestically in england. and speaking to the bbc�*s jack killer, foley has been describing some of the abuse he's received. warning now that you may find some of what he says upsetting. what's quite frightening is that i think at last count, there were over 2000 messages. so 2000 posts against match officials from the world cup, which had reached what they would consider as prosecution threshold. now, prosecution threshold is threat to life. direct threats to life. threats of violence. threats of sexual violence and so on against us and against families. so that puts it into context the scale of the problem. some of the messages you have had have been absolutely vile. yeah. can you, without going
12:51 am
into a huge amount of detail about them, can you go into any detail about just the type of tone and language? that's been talking about family dying, a slow cancer death, and families being hoping that my family die in a horrific car accident. and there were literally hundreds. at the international ice hockey federation says it will be mandatory for players to wear neck guards at all levels of competition. the announcement follows the death of nottingham panthers forward adam johnson in late october after he suffered a fatal neck injury whilst playing. the english ice hockey association confirmed in october that wearing a neck guard will be mandatory during all on ice activities from 2024 onwards. a paris's deputy mayor says there'll be no safer place in the world than the french capital during next summer's olympic games. following a knife and hammer attack in the city on saturday, anti—terrorism prosecutors opened an investigation after a german man died and two others were injured. one man being arrested. paris plans to hold the opening
12:52 am
ceremony outside the stadium for the first time in the history of the summer games. deputy mayor pierre ramadan has told french television the city is confident to guarantee safety. meanwhile, the commonwealth games federation says they're in active conversations to find a host to step in at short notice following the gold coast decision to pull out of holding the games in 2026. the city hosted the games in 2018, but it's failed to convince federal and state governments to support the bid to hold the event once again. the news comes after the canadian province of alberta abandoned its plans to host the 2030 games. this has all been going on around trying to secure a host for the commonwealth games, getting a new one after victoria injuly decided that it was not going to be the host. and still, we're back to that same point. no host the commonwealth games. it does sound justifiable to be like, yeah, we can't possibly be spending that much money on
12:53 am
an event that at the moment not everyone is in love with. so what is it going to do for us? and cricket. england's women are preparing for the first match of theirtourof india. they'll play three t20 matches starting on wednesday and then a four day test from the 14th until the 17th of december. heather knight will lead both sides all round. sarah glenn says she can't wait to get started. it's something i've always looked forward to and wanted to be a part of. so i think this tour is more just for the games here. it's for me to develop my game and learn off others and how they go about it and the conditions here and see where i can take my spin bowling as well. so we want to be attacking and looking to take wickets, whatever the conditions is. i think it'sjust it's adapting to how we take those wickets, i think. so it's not really changing the mindset of front foot forward and taking wickets. we've kind of kept that mentality. so for us it's been able to do that in different conditions. so that's just something else that i can learn.
12:54 am
so that'sjust something else that i can learn. with me playing in india for the first time, i'm training there this evening, so i'lljust get to see what it's like and how to play around with that and then learn kind of what's the best way to kind of take wickets and still be positive despite the conditions. my response isjust keep talking to the youngsters about what i've experienced and then i speak to the senior players about what i can learn. and i think it's kind of a two way street, and i think i kind of forget that i think of myself as a senior player because ijust feel like a kid, big kid. but yeah, ijust think i keep learning from also learning from them as well and their experiences. and finally, tiger woods, seen here with another tiger, says it was fun to be back out playing competitive golf once again after taking part in his first tournament since withdrawing from the masters in april with an ankle injury, woods finished on level par at the hero world challenge in the bahamas, coming 18th in a 20 man field and says it is good to be back. i haven't done it in a while.
12:55 am
i haven't done it with my ankle the way it is now. and i was excited to each and every day to kind of get through it and start piecing rounds together again. i haven't done this in a long time, so it was fun to feel that again. and that is all your sport reminder much more. over on the bbc sport website, apart that is all for now. thanks for watching. goodbye. hello. it is starting to turn less cold. that process, the transition to mild weather has already begun but we're not really going to feel it until the end of the week and into the weekend. in fact, there's still a chance of some frosts. now, let's have a look at the big picture then on tuesday. so low pressure close by with a wind off the north sea.
12:56 am
so still a bit of an easterly, thick cloud and outbreaks of rain through the early hours across many parts of england and wales, maybe southern parts of scotland and into eastern northern ireland, but clear spells there in the north highlands and also around western parts of northern ireland. so a sharp frost in some spots early on tuesday, but not frosty in england and wales. and then here's the forecast for tuesday itself. in scotland and parts of northern ireland, it's a bright start with some sunshine in the afternoon. the rest of the country overcast, at least for the bulk of the day. chances are things will clear up a little bit in, say, the lake district, lancashire, wales in the southwest. but then that's towards the end of the day now, it's sunset soon, so i think the bulk of england and wales, let's call it a cloudy day with a chance of some rain. however, later in the day, on tuesday, towards the evening hours, skies will clear, the winds will fall light, and we've got a frost on the way. so still that nip in the air first thing in the morning on wednesday, with temperatures
12:57 am
perhaps as low as minus five in scotland and close to freezing if not below in the south. and the morning on wednesday will be very cold across many parts of the country, especially further east. could be some lingering fog, could feel quite raw during the day. so quite disappointing temperatures, again. four degrees, even could be optimistic in some spots, could be close to freezing. but out towards the west, we've got that warmth here, that mild air sweeping in, weather fronts coming in, bringing the outbreaks of rain. and that change really is under way towards the end of the week with a low pressure and westerly winds. now, this is the temperature anomaly map, so warmer than average or colder than average. and actually, you can see towards the end of the week and into the weekend, we've got these warmer colours indicating temperatures actually into double figures for some of us. so let's have a look at the outlook, then. midweek onwards, you can see a fair amount of cloud and some outbreaks of rain, but a steady rise in the temperature as we lose the easterly winds and transition to westerlies. that's it for me. bye bye.
