and finally, huddersfield town defender mathiasjorgensen has offered to buy every fan who travels away to southampton on saturday a christmas drink as thanks for their "amazing" support this season. we had a long stretch of games where we didn't get results that we or the fa ns we didn't get results that we or the fans wanted, but still after losing 4-0 at fans wanted, but still after losing 4—0 at bournemouth, we had people standing, clapping and cheering us on. that was it. that was when i started thinking if there was something i might be able to dojust to show that i and we appreciate that. this says something different that. this says something different that we are usually told about footballers. you are supposed to be selfish people. is that a myth? definitely. it's how you want to portray people. it is easy to say that football men play ——

footballers play football and get a lot of money. we are just normal people who enjoy the life that we've been given. sometimes you get to actually show that. so a christmas tipple for every travelling huddersfield fan. the gesture could cost the denmark international more than £8,000. well done to him. i wouldn't want to be the balm and when that round comes in! that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. well, let's get more on the news that the prime minister has said she expects the leak of information by former police officers , relating to pornography being found on damian green's parliamentary computer, will be "properly investigated". the first secretary of state

was sacked last night after an inquiry concluded he had made "misleading" statements. and in a separate development this evening, an investigation has cleared the international trade minister, mark garnier, of breaching the ministerial code, by asking a member of his staff to go into a sex shop for him. well, we can speak now to our political correspondent, emma vardy, who is across both stories and joins us live from westminster. let's talk first of all about damian green. what has been said in the aftermath of his departure today? there's been a variety of reaction to damian green's sacking. what is notable is this growing backlash to the police lea ks notable is this growing backlash to the police leaks that led to his downfall. what cost damian green his job in the end was that he lied about not knowing about the police

finding pornography on his computer. the cabinet enquiry later found he had been told on two occasions about this, and that he had misled the public. damian green has since admitted this. but the reaction from tory mps is anger about the way police behaved. jeremy hunt said this calls into question the behaviour of police in a democracy. theresa may was questioned about this today. this has very much overshadowed her trip to poland today. she was asked this afternoon what she thought about the police's role in the damian green saga, and she talked about the change in thought at westminster after this. more recently, as issues have arisen in uk parliament, i brought together leaders from all parties to make sure that in parliament people would

feel it was a workplace where people felt they had no cause for concern, and would be able to raise any concerns they had, be it sexual harassment or other concerns like fleeing. the leader of the house of commons, the leader of the house of lords, representations of all parties, are all working on this. you asked whether the police had questions to answer. there are two issues that that may be addressing. i suspect you may be referring to the question of the attitude of the police in the case of damian green. asl police in the case of damian green. as i said in my letter to damien yesterday, i share concerns that have been raised about comments that we re have been raised about comments that were made by a former police officer, and i expect that issue to be properly investigated, be taken seriously and be properly looked at.

this may have some way to run. the suggestion now that those former police officers should be charged with misconduct in a formal office, because that charge was leaked. theresa may is certainly going to feel the loss of damian green. he will be difficult to replace in terms of somebody with his authority and his loyalty to her. we hear that mark garnier has not broken the mr ruto code. that's right. mark garnier was also under investigation. his former parliamentary secretary claims that back then he had used an offensive name with her, and that he asked her to go and buy six toys. that's why mark barnier was under investigation. that has come back today. the enquiry found that while

it was not mark garnier‘s intention to make the member of staff feel uncomfortable, that was the result. mark garnier has since apologised, and the prime minister's view is that a line should be drawn under the issue. perhaps not the same serious level of consequences we saw with damian green, but another outcome of this six scandal that has engulfed westminster over the last few weeks. thank you very much. very quiet weather in the run—up to christmas, which is good for people who have travelling to do. the best of the sunshine across scotland today. the many areas, we've been stuck under rather grey and gloomy skies, not much sunshine around at all. but it's mild. we have mild air

because of the position of the jet stream, to the north of the uk, keeping the colder air away for now. with the cold air, a lot of cloud, which will thicken up to give some rain and drizzle. very gloomy out there over northern ireland. wet weather heading its way into england and wales, with a lot of fog over the hills. a touch of frost over the central belt and one or two fog patches, but a very mild night for most of the uk. a grey and gloomy start foremost on friday. the rain and drizzle will edge away, so it should become drier. with the wind picking up in western scotland, that cloud will blow in here, said the best of the sunshine for north—east scotland. saturday, closer to

christmas, the wind is picking up across northern areas. a mild wind, and some brain for scotland and northern ireland. perhaps a chance of seeing some sunshine. the weather front across the north is going to hang around into the second half of the weekend. this is christmas eve. it looks like it's going to be quite wet, across western scotland in particular. a bit of drizzle over the hills of parts of england and wales. a breezy day on the hills, but very mild. is it going to be a white christmas? 0n the tops of the mountains, highland and grampian, you could see some snow. 0therwise, it is quite windy. it will be mild, temperatures around 11 celsius. you're watching beyond one hundred days.
