another weather system putting in from the west as we go into thursday. this will bring cooler air later in the day, but more rain across england and wales to start with, turning to sunshine and some wintry showers in the west later, and it will feel like february. thanks, matt. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm olly foster. the real deal — kylian mbappe gets his dream move and madrid get the most—wanted man in football. manchester city slipped up at the weekend, but win at home to brentford tonight — and they'll be a point off the top of the premier league. the yorkshire chairman colin graves explains why he has never personally apologised to azeem rafiq for the abuse he suffered at the county. also coming up on sportsday...

ready for take—off — or have world athletics caused a storm in a sandpit with their long jump proposals? leave with their long jump proposals? the event alone, y one leave the event alone, you know? no one sitting at these championships watching events happen is going, "i wish they were doing something different." good evening. we're not in a transfer window, but one of most anticipated deals in football has been agreed. barring any hitches, kylian mbappe will be a real madrid player next summer. we reported last week that the the 25—year—old france captain had told paris saint—germain that was leaving. he joined as a teenager from monaco and, after seven years with the club, he is their record goal—scorer
6:34 pm
with 244, and is heading for a sixth league title. it's no wonder that real have been courting him for the past few seasons, and they have offered a five—year deal earning him just under £13 million pounds a season, plus a £128 million signing—on bonus to be paid over the length of his contract. the spanish football writer and broadcaster guillem ballague explains why the time is right for mbappe to make the move. he 25, he's given a lot of years — what is it, seven years — to ps6, and i think he feels obviously it's time to exporting wise, make a step forward. one club that is close to
6:35 pm
his heart, he actually admires christiano ronaldo and the white shirt, he's always said that — more ronaldo than the white shirt — but it's something he feels he's got to do to be closer to when the bell and door, the individual words he doesn't get it psg. door, the individual words he doesn't get it ps6. i think he was quite upset that he hasn't in the last 2—3 years been any closer to winning it, and with real madrid certainly he'll have the opportunity to do so. but also the contract that finished at psg meant he had to decide, will i get a longer contract when i'm 27? do i stay or go now? psg many young but competitive, and he feels he could adapt to it very well , when more things, or trophies. and real madrid have been there waiting
6:36 pm
for him. he played it very cleverly and have sent a message to kylian mbappe, they want haaland next, they're coming for you. so the stars have aligned. we've also heard from real madrid's former president, ramon calderon — he says a move to madrid is about more than what mbappe will earn. is notjust the money, i think deserve _ is notjust the money, i think deserve the money they are earning. mainly— deserve the money they are earning. mainly it's_ deserve the money they are earning. mainly it's the glory, the titles. when _ mainly it's the glory, the titles. when they come here, they know that his reputation will be broadcast all around _ his reputation will be broadcast all around the world. i know mbappe in this case _ around the world. i know mbappe in this case is— around the world. i know mbappe in this case is already well known, but when _ this case is already well known, but when they— this case is already well known, but when they come to real madrid, the image _ when they come to real madrid, the image is— when they come to real madrid, the image is strengthened much more, in my opinion _ image is strengthened much more, in my opinion. he's an amazing player, he's very—

6:38 pm
point above arsenal, to get up to liverpool and lots of games to play. but the reality is, since we can lost against aston villa, we've been better. let's get more on the match — alastair bruce—ball is there with 5live and sent us this from the etihad stadium a short time ago. so three days on from the 1—1 draw against chelsea on saturday night, manchester city renew their pursuit of both liverpool and arsenal in this title race when they take on brentford here tonight — 18 they be in london a couple weeks ago thanks to a phil foden hat—trick, but also the team did a double over them. ivan toney scoring twice here. interestingly britain are the only team erling haaland has faced in his premier league career and not scored against. his radar was unusually a ride on saturday night, nine goals on shot in the game against chelsea but couldn't find the back of the net. if manchester city win tonight, they are point behind liverpool at a
6:39 pm
point ahead of arsenal, will brentford start the night five points above the bottom three. no one really gave them a chance last season either. there are two more champions league matches tonight — the first leg between psv eindhoven and borussia dortmund in the last 16, and also inter milan and atletico madrid. there's commentary of that match on 5live, and ian dennis is at the san siro. it's undoubtedly the tie of the last 16, last year's runners up against atletico madrid, free scoring in the group stages. commentary on bbc radio 5 live tonight, and with me as pat nevin. both sides have done externally well in the group stages, it'll be an intriguing two games? i it'll be an intriguing two games? i think both very improved sides. i don't _ think both very improved sides. i don't know— think both very improved sides. i don't know what to expect from atletico — don't know what to expect from atletico madrid, they've been very safe for— atletico madrid, they've been very safe for a — atletico madrid, they've been very safe for a while. but i think there's— safe for a while. but i think there's more strength and depth now than they've had for quite some

6:48 pm
rafiq's testimony led to the county being fined £400,000 for failing to address systemic use of racist or discriminatory language over a number of years, and some of the period in question covered grave's initial tenure at the club. here's our sports editor dan roan. this was the first time collin graves had spoken since he was reelected as the yorkshire chairman following a vote by members earlier this month that effectively approved a financial takeover package by a consortium that graves was holding up. the reason it's controversial is he formally presided over a period of time during which the county has admitted that they failed to address systemic use of racist language —— formerly presided. graves has always maintained he was never aware of any racist behaviour, but he was
6:49 pm
criticised by the ecb for suggesting that some incidences where banter, as he put it. and his return as chairman at yorkshire has been criticised by some who believe it's a backward step. one of those is azeem rafiq, whose allegations of suffering racism at headingley first sparked a huge scandal that led to the financial crisis at the county that has seen graves return. now he has apologised for the racism scandal and regretted what he previously said— but he did face questioning from mps today on the culture media and sport select committee and was asked specifically why he hadn't apologised directly to azeem rafiq. i’gre why he hadn't apologised directly to azeem rafiq-— azeem rafiq. i've apologised in my statements — azeem rafiq. i've apologised in my statements to _ azeem rafiq. i've apologised in my statements to everybody _ azeem rafiq. i've apologised in my statements to everybody who - statements to everybody who experienced it. to mr rafik, i had the opportunity to talk to him, i would. — the opportunity to talk to him, i would, because he should not have

and western areas by the end of the night. and here it is, this area of low pressure — a fairly deep feature with quite a few isobars on the chart, indicating windy weather with gales certainly around coasts of irish sea, northern and eastern parts of scotland could see the strongest gusts. the rain splashing its way eastward through the morning. into the afternoon, starts to push out into the north sea. skies brighten up behind it, but it does remain blustery for all areas. some showers running into northern and western scotland. but it might hang back, i think, across eastern england with regards to the cloud and the rain. but these temperatures again above the seasonal norm, 11—13 celsius. as we head through wednesday night, it's dry for a time, then we see another area of low pressure gathering force out west that will bring a band of showery rain into northern and western areas. that rain starts to pep up as it begins to cross england and wales. again, a fairly mild night to come across the south, something a bit cooler working its way into northern and western areas. that's a sign of things to come as we head through thursday, as this low pressure system,

with its heavy rain and strong winds across the south spreads across the country and pushes on in towards the north sea, it starts to open the floodgates to a much colder west—northwesterly wind. you can see that's evident here with the blue colours, not particularly very cold, but certainly colder than what we've had over the last week or so. so a rather unsettled, wet day to come, i think, for much of the country, certainly england and wales on thursday, windy in the south. as the rain pulls away, the colder air starts to move in. so those showers begin to turn wintry over the higher ground of northern and western hills. and notice the temperatures as well — it will be noticeable. 5—9 celsius — factor in the wind, it'll feel colder than that. it stays fairly unsettled into the weekend. sunshine and showers again, these wintry over northern and western hills, and nights will be turning colder with some frost. highlights from london fashion week. we'll be here later
