excessive profits out of a contract where there appears to have been abuse taking place. that's why i think there are very serious questions for gas to answer about exactly what has been happening. in the meantime, 11 staff and former staff at brook house remain suspended while allegations made against them are investigated. alison holt, bbc news. tonight's football news. tottenham have made an impressive start to their champions league campaign, beating the german league leaders borussia dortmund at wembley. there was a win too for manchester city, but liverpool's return to the competition proved less than straightforward, as our sports correspondent, katie gornall, tells us. for a club that cries out for a place among europe's‘s elite, three years out of the spotlight can feel like an eternity. the return of the champions league had anfield amplified. soon it would take their breath away. it's no secret where liverpool's weakness lies, and when their defensive frailties surfaced

early in the game, sevilla took advantage. the first blow landed after just five minutes. their strength, of course, is in attack and with pace and precision they hit back. roberto firmino making it look simple. now liverpool had a spring in their step. and luck on their side, as mo salah, with a little help, put them ahead. firmino might have had a second before the break, a miss that would later prove costly, as liverpool again allowed sevilla a route through on a night when they were generous hosts. the bright lights of wembley have done little to make tottenham shine in recent years. theirform here has led to talks of a jinx, but there is one way to settle the nerves. son heung—min gave them the perfect start. it spurred borussia dortmund into action. undefeated at the top of the german bundesliga, they brought out their best to equalise. but in harry kane, spurs have the man for the big occasion and two goals from him either side of half—time were enough for the three points.

wembley might be starting to feel like home. over in rotterdam there was no stopping sergio aguero and the tide of sky—blue as manchester city swept aside dutch champions feyenoord. two goals from defender john stones set the tone for a breathless start to their champions league campaign. katie gornall, bbc news. the usual reminder, newsnight is coming up on bbc two, here's evan. the official inquiry into the grenfell tower fire starts tomorrow. we'll look ahead to that and at whether austerity had a role in causing the fire. we'll also hearfrom ringo starr on his new album and on brexit. join me now on bbc two. that's newsnight with evan. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a good night. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'mjohn watson. coming up tonight: harry kane gets tottenham's champions league campaign off to a winning start at wembley. liverpool though are held at home to sevilla. and we look ahead to the big fight in vegas at the weekend between two of boxing's best pound

for pound fighters. three english sides in champions league action tonight. wins for spurs and manchester city, whilst liverpool were held to a 2—2 draw against sevilla at anfield. john bennet, ourfootball reporter, is with me to discuss all of tonight's results. we start with tottenham's victory against borussia dortmund at wembley, a 3—1win, harry kane with two goals to get their european campaign off to a winning start. tim hague watched the action. under the arch, it's been anything but a smooth move for spurs, but against the buoyant borussia dortmund, wembley would provide some happier times tonight. a goal came

after less than four minutes. the hosts were pegged back in quite some fashion. a fantastic first 15 culminated in another super strike. harry kane the man, as the keeper was beaten at his near post again. totte n ha m was beaten at his near post again. tottenham missed chances to enter the encounter at one end, but their opponents should have scored at the other. a slice of luck there, but spurs certainly took advantage of it, as kane proved once again that he is always able. not even a late red card forjan vertonghen could dampen the mood. this was a big result for spurs, who, for the first time ina result for spurs, who, for the first time in a while, look right at home. didn't they just. they didn't theyjust. they only didn't they just. they only won didn't theyjust. they only won one group game last season there, but

they are up and running. it is a tough group for them. real madrid in there as well. i think it is the toughest group in this season's champions league. i think wembley will start feeling like home for them. for real madrid, a comfortable victory for them. cristiano ronaldo made his comeback. he had a band domestically for pushing a referee up domestically for pushing a referee up and was sent off. he should have had a hat—trick. a superb performance for him. looks ominous for spurs. 106 and 107 goals in the champions league, so an easy wind. liverpool making a return to the champions league. only their second campaign in eight seasons. they will be disappointed that they were held at home at anfield too severe.

missed opportunities for liverpool. we know that seville are good side. this was a repeat of the final 2016. this was a repeat of the final 2016. this was a mistake by lovren. you worried for liverpool at that stage, but they got right back into it. firmino with the equaliser. then things started to go liverpool's way. mohammed saleem, deflected shot. they had a chance to make it 3-1. shot. they had a chance to make it 3—1. firmino missed a penaltyjust before half—time, which will prove very costly. the defending let them down. sevilla equalising just before the end. there were a couple of sendings—off. the sevilla coach was sent off. there were a couple of scenes wherejurgen klopp was

protesting, what did i do? what will make the headlines was a firework which was thrown onto the pitch, narrowly missing the referee. we can expect a lot more to be heard about that. a potential punishments to come the perhaps from uefa. manchester city, makes good reading for theirfans. they manchester city, makes good reading for their fans. they are top of group f. a comfortable wind against feyenoord in rotterdam. feyenoord, 16 years out of the champions league, but they were soon a goal down. look at this finish from aguero. lovely. great performance from manchester city against feyenoord, who won the dutch title this season for the first time for 16 years. gabrieljesus was on the side there. thenjohn stones, with

his second goal. a 4—0 victory for manchester city, and they are looking strong. pep guardiola has w011 looking strong. pep guardiola has won the champions league twice with barcelona. didn't manage to win it with bayern munich. they will certainly hope that they will get it this season. great start, because it's a tough group. also in that group, napoli lost, which is a surprise, so man city taking control. thank you very much. manchester united midfielder paul pogba is set to be out for between a month and six weeks with a hamstring injury sustained in last night's champions league win over basel. pogba went for scans on the injury today. it means he could miss the match with liverpool on the 14th october and league games against everton, southampton and crystal palace. there was one game in the championship tonight, where fulham beat hull, both sides with aspirations of making a return to the premier league. floyd ayite opened the scoring for fulham just before half time. hull equalised before stefanjohannson grabbed the winning

goal in the second half. the win moves them up to 13th, but remain seven points off the top. he's back in management. at 70, the oldest permanent appointment in premier league history. and roy hodgson has set his sights on keeping crystal palace in the premier league. he was named as frank de boer‘s successor yesterday. and has fond memories of time spent at selhurst park as a young boy. certainly, when i was on the terraces, i had dreams of playing for the team, and when i became a coach later on, coaching the team. but a lot has happened in between times. in someways, it's very rewarding to find myself here now. had a difficult time, of course, but it's a club that i've always loved and admired, and a club that i think

has huge potential. certainly a big job on his hand to come. valtteri bottas has extended his stay with mercedes for another year, and will race for the world champions in 2018. after impressing at williams, hejoined on a one—year deal injanuary, replacing world champion nico rosberg who retired. team boss toto wolf praised the chemistry between him and team mate leiws hamilton. essex are edging closer to a first county championship title since 1992. they declared on 369 for nine on the second day of their match against warwickshire. opener varun chopra made 98. warwickshire finished on seven without loss in their second innings — still 161 behind. lancashire — essex's nearest rivals — are struggling and following on in their match against somerset. if essex win and lancashire fail to win, essex will be crowned champions this week. well, three weeks on from the mayweather—mcgregor fight, we have another spectacle in las vegas this weekend. the eyes of the boxing world will be on these two, arguably two of the greatest current

pound for pound fighters. canelo alvarez and gennady golovkin meet in what is the most significant fight since floyd mayweather defeated manny pacquiao in 2015... couple of weeks ago we had that spectacle to take place, and now this is we'll fight. these are the two best middleweights in the division. i call it eight to nine rounds of the health for both guys. this isn't going to be a walk in the park. i think gennady golovkin is a monster. alvarez is a knockout artist. they are the most skilled boxes on the planet today now that mayweather has retired. you will see a realfight mayweather has retired. you will see a real fight on saturday. now, we like to bring something different on sportsday where we can. but i think as far as technique, balance, poise and skill are concerned this is going to take some topping. this is swiss freestyle skier andri ragettli who as part

of his training has set up what can only be described as a kind of assault course — with various balance ropes. he posted it online as he prepares to compete at the 2018 winter olympics. seeing is believing, and watched in its entirety... for now, though, enjoy. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are conservative authorjo—anne nadler, and political commentator jane merrick. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the metro says security is being stepped up at prince george's school after a break—in. the ft reports that the bank of england is wrestling with a dilemma over whether to raise interest rates despite stagnant wages and brexit uncertainty. the express leads on what it calls a plot by the european commission chiefjean—claude juncker to grab even more power. the i claims theresa may was forced
