evening on bbc news. with the news that both the poisoned spy and his daughter are recovering in hospital, we'll be asking two scientists — if nerve agents are so deadly, how is it that sergei and yulia skripal appear to be no longer critically ill? as the police are accused of losing control of the streets of the capital, we'll hear from the mp who chairs the youth violence commission and, martin freeman stars in the horror anthology ghost stories — as a play it left audiences on the edge of their seats. we'll find out whatjames king made of the big screen version in the film review at 8:45pm. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster. the headlines this evening. gold for katie at the commonwealth games, that no scottish double for her family as her brotherjohn archibald

could only take silver on the track. j°y could only take silver on the track. joy for wales in the weightlifting, a first gold medal for them on the gold coast. it's been 20 years in the making. i knew i could do it, it was all about putting the performance together on the day. another good day for england's swimmers but gold for sarah vasey isn't enough to keep on top of the medal table. also coming up, any early movers on the masters leaderboard, the early movers on the masters leaderboa rd, the second—round early movers on the masters leaderboard, the second—round under we at augusta. -m lam—mm the ig— i: title might ,, -, , ,, :— title might be” , ,, 7225; title might be theirs premier league title might be theirs tomorrow. good evening. so much coming up over

the next half—hour. we'll be live at the next half—hour. we'll be live at the masters later in the programme and also the etihad stadium ahead of the derby. first let's bring you up—to—date with the commonwealth games, 17 gold medals on the second day of competition, england knocked off the top of the leaderboard by hosts australia but a good day of the home nations, on the gold coast, mike bushell. a wet old night here, the rain has been falling thick and fast, medals have been pouring in and australia claiming on tv that it has been their might. hard to argue with that, they won the last relay to underline their dominance in the pool to underline their dominance in the pool. but it has been a good day for the home teams with england getting gold in the pool and the velodrome, scotland's katie archibald taking gold in the velodrome and the first wales gold medal in the weightlifting. the welsh way in

sport is strength of mind and strength of body, gareth evans is a weightlifter with the speed of a fly half, all for his country and family. you sat to fight for funding just to make his third game is that all he had come for was the gold medal and he earned it in his own way. it has been 20 years in the making. i knewi way. it has been 20 years in the making. i knew i could do it. way. it has been 20 years in the making. i knewl could do it. best day of your life? i can't take that away from my little girl. i can't wait to show that this, i can't wait to see her with it around her neck. it's not often that katie archibald ta kes it's not often that katie archibald takes the limelight on her own, this was a solo gold, at one stage she was a solo gold, at one stage she was half a second behind her australian opponent but over 3000 metres it is who can cope with pain and the best. this means so much. it's embarrassing sometimes, with

the scottish jersey, i feel uncomfortable sometimes but with this event it means so much. a busy night for the family. her brother john got silver, beat into second place by charlie tanfield england, a man with a smile to watch the talent. john put up the good fight, i was like, can i hang on but i managed to take it home and i was really happy, to be honest. in the pool england set the early pace, their summers springing surprises, for sarah vasey, any medal would have done that with a good sprint gold can be in touching distance. have done that with a good sprint gold can be in touching distancem was pretty mental, this time last yearl was pretty mental, this time last year i got my first british title and now i'm commonwealth champion. crazy. alice tai already has the world record in s mine backstroke but gold always than certain other commonwealth games. despite england's efforts australia lead the medal table, the freestyle relay

moving them five gold medals in front. away from home the man to watch is chad le clos. you might remember his father! he is the most down—to—earth beautiful boy you'll ever meet in your life. his crying like me! i love you. he arrived at the olympics but it could be at the commonwealth wiki is remembered, if 50 metre butterfly gold gives more medals than australian legend ian thorpe and that lot more to win. for his father's beautiful boy this could become a beautiful games. in much better weather 20 miles south of year and beach volleyball cup edition made its commonwealth debut and for scotland it was a chance to get into a different environment, they train on a chilly beach in edinburgh and when it's too cold they have been in a barn. it seems they have been in a barn. it seems

they have been in a barn. it seems they have reaped a harvest, scotland's men won and there were men defeated grenade. the other person making the headlines today has been anna hursey, a—level years old, the table tennis player from wales, they say she's one of the star of the games and it's hard to argue, but she won the doubles and she's helped wales get through to the quarterfinals of the table tennis. how far can they go and what a school assembly it will make when she goes back to secondary school where she's onlyjust started. quite a star. we saw some action in the pool a star. we saw some action in the pool. robbie rennick represented scotla nd pool. robbie rennick represented scotland at three games, your gold medal was a few years ago. let's look at what happened in the pool today. chad le clos is a global star with his and began to world titles,

he was a winner of seven medals in glasgow, another seven would make him the most decorated commonwealth average of all time. although it was average of all time. although it was a big ask because after his gold in the 50 fly he had to go back 20 minutes later and he couldn't do it in the 200 metres freestyle. is one of those summers that can bounce every 20 minutes, racing and back every 20 minutes, racing and racing, i've seen him do it, i was quite surprised today to see him not doing so well in the freestyle, he didn't have anything in that last hundred metres. he said he couldn't flush the lactic acid out of his legs in time. i guess you can relate. when you get older it takes longer to recover and in the last few years, chad has been a young boy, going from race to race, not producing as much lactic acid. now

he's getting a bit older and perhaps not as invincible as he thought. he can still equal that autumn could have 18, north medals. it seems to be the swimming. we got a glimpse of adam peaty. starting back, he says is all about defending those titles. adam peaty is another of the league to everyone else, you started at the commonwealth games, winning gold and ever since he's been smashing the world record. it'll be exciting to see he races tomorrow because we are hoping to see him around 57 seconds, this talk of project 56 but for me, i think that's realistically a tokyo

2020 target. adam is concentrating on the european championships this summer, i'm not so sure... it's an outdoor pool and it rained during his semifinal, don't you summers like it warm indoors? it's right, every summer will not be lying if they say idv don't want to race outside when it's windy, they will all say, that is fine, to see a level playing field, but the majority of swimmers are training indoors so having all these winds destructions, the rain lashing down, it's not ideal racing conditions, i think that is why we are not seeing some of the world—class conditions, it's not an ideal stadium, we have seen it's not an ideal stadium, we have seen monsoon rain, it's not an ideal stadium, we have seen monsoon rain, wind and everything. yes, we have had four seasons in one day sometimes although it has still been great

raising, thank you, thank you for joining us on sportsday this evening. merited the first golf major of the year, the masters. fascinating first the return of sergio garcia with his title defence sinking, and a late charge from god and speed to top the leaderboard. no doubt stories to come in round two, already under way, eilidh barbo can bring us up to date. hi eilidh. day two has been very interesting. plenty of stories out there, let's look at the leaderboard, overnight leaderjordan spieth has had a tricky morning, no longer at the top of the tree, that position is shared by eight including matt kuchar who came so by eight including matt kuchar who came so close to his first major at the open in the summer. further back

at two under par rory mcilroy alongsidejordan at two under par rory mcilroy alongside jordan spieth, he at two under par rory mcilroy alongsidejordan spieth, he has had four dropped shots through his first eight holes today. let's look at jordan spieth's card. it started off pretty much as badly as you could have hoped for. he did so well yesterday and if you make a flying start its spread eagle is a field that the pin on the front is in a very awkward spot in the windows of the left. it has caused absolute mayhem, a lot of bogeys, jordan spieth started with a double bogey, and then bogeyed the par five, spieth started with a double bogey, and then bogeyed the parfive, and has struggled since. as you can see they are out in a0. it's a com pletely they are out in a0. it's a completely different today. the wind isa completely different today. the wind is a little fresher and the pins are tucked away but i think that first hole has set a lot of people off on the wrong foot. also on two under par rory mcilroy, you scrambled

yesterday, those last three goals in particular, he's had to scramble a bit today, he's not done badly today. level par is a good score. but he made a couple of good up and dance from awkward spots. he's going along nicely, hanging on in there, that's what you've got to do that augusta. tiger woods hasjust teed off, his tee shot was a beauty. henrik stenson is next to go out, and you can follow all the action, you can follow it on the bbc five live and the bbc sports website and we have live coverage of day three live and uninterrupted, 730 bbc two and 630 on sunday. we hope that you canjoin us

and 630 on sunday. we hope that you can join us for what looks like a very very thrilling masters this year. many thanks indeed. still to come on sportsday a first home soil much for phil neville, the lionesses ta ke much for phil neville, the lionesses take on wales in southampton with top spot in their world cup qualifying group at stake. a quick look at a couple of today's of the headlines, conor mcgregor the fighter has been charged with three cou nts fighter has been charged with three counts of assault and one of mischief following an event in new york. he was one of a group of men alleged to have vandalised bus containing rivalfighters alleged to have vandalised bus containing rival fighters yesterday. the former champion turned himself into police and he's set to face a judge shortly. mcgregor appeared to be throwing a trolley at a bus, it injured two fighters who have been

taken off the undercard on saturday. this is the fight game, mean things said, people get in each other‘s faces, grab each other, it is normal. we always contain it and handle it as part of the business but what happened today, was criminal. disgusting, despicable, makes me sick. and we as an organisation needed to make sure that this never happens again. kimi raikkonen beat sebastian vettel by 100th of a second to clock the quickest time of the day in graphic version before this weekend's bahrain grand prix, but red faces and the pit crew because they sent him out without putting his wheel on properly. lewis hamilton only managed fourth, more than half a second down. now this could be the weekend that manchester city clinch

the title. it manchester united tomorrow and they will become premier league champions with six games to spare, that would be a record. but beating manchester united will be tough and this also comesjust united will be tough and this also comes just three days after their humbling at liverpool in the champions league. at the etihad stadium, david ornstein. good evening david. they are going to be champions, we know that they are champions, we know that they are champions elect but just champions, we know that they are champions elect butjust a few doubts have crept in after what happened three days ago, they concealed the deal tomorrow by getting three points. yes, far from ideal preparation for city, short time to prepare whereas manchester united have had a week and they won't want to lose this match. for pep guardiola, will he rest players before the second leg against liverpool on tuesday or try to wrap up liverpool on tuesday or try to wrap up the title and take the momentum with them? willjose mourinho have

learned from what liverpool did to city and impress them with a more attacking game that gives his players more freedom against his old adversary pep guardiola? manchester united have won their last four league games, their best run in more than a year league games, their best run in more thana yearand league games, their best run in more than a year and they haven't lost on their last two visits to the etihad stadium. it should be a fascinating contest with local bragging rights at stake. for so many years might just as footballing landscape was ruled by the red of united. but the rise of their neighbours has been unrelenting and no blue the colour, city the dominant force. their local national superiority poised to be confirmed with the premier league title. i'm so happy with what we have done so far. at home, the people who come to the stadium, to support the guys because they deserve it, they deserve all the credit, they deserve it because we are defending the club as best as possible. it's in the etihad stadium

that city will help to celebrate an historic achievement, never before as the premier league been one as early as april seven nor have the champions of england being crowned with as many as six games to spare. this side is something, i've never seen this side is something, i've never seen anything like it before. the football that has been played is amazing. every player has the confidence and the ability to play the way pep guardiola once. this is probably the best manchester city side that has ever been. commentator: ito grabbed magnificently... with their dazzling style pep guardiola's man have drawn comparisons to some of the greatest teams over the years, beaten only once in the league, 16 points clear of second placed manchester united. to understand that, with the points we have, normally we would be in the fight for the title. and we are not, because city have a very good number

of points. that makes it very, very difficult for the second placed team to be fighting for the title, which we are not at this moment. defeat by liverpool midweek dented city's european aspirations but they'll have a second chance on tuesday and will approach that game in the highest of spirits if they can clinch the title with victory over their arch rivals. it is a big "if"! some curious news regarding these teams has emerged in the last hour. acclaim from pep guardiola that during the january transfer window was offered paul pogba by manchester united and henrikh mkhitaryan. really? and try to explain this as best i can. the agent representing paul pogba and henrikh mkhitaryan gave an interview on march 25,

describing pep guardiola with whom he's had a temperature is relationship before for his management of another client, zlatan, while he was at barcelona and guardiola managed barcelona, calling him a coward and a dog. this question was put to guardiola and in january, he said two months ago sweepers in january, january, he said two months ago sweepers injanuary, he was offered paul and mkhitaryan, both of whom who had fallen out of favour with jose at manchester united. he didn't say much more although he did say he'd turned down paul pogba because he'd turned down paul pogba because he was too expensive, although a great player. this will stir the pot before the match and dominate the headlines tomorrow. but in terms of the match, it's got the makings of a classic. perfectly succinct, david. you very much, david ornstein, thank you very much, david ornstein, at the etihad stadium, before the big one tomorrow. a big match tonight on the south coast is a qualifierfor

tonight on the south coast is a qualifier for the world cup tonight on the south coast is a qualifierfor the world cup between england and wales, the first time phil neville has been at home as manager of the lionesses. wales top the group. jo is at the stadium. 25,000 people expected on the south coast of the biggest clash of qualifying group one so far. wales currently top the table with ten points from the opening four matches, and beaten, as england in second, wales have one point advantage of england, england have a game in hand. england boss phil neville says his players want to approach this like a derby, something he will know all about. wales is just the shock says the tea m wales is just the shock says the team can't get too emotionally involved in who they play. it is an important game, that's the kind of thing i feel about this. i get that it is england and i understand the hype and i can appreciate that. but for me it is another game and a campaign that is going so well for us campaign that is going so well for us right now and we wanted to keep

going well. so i'm preparing for this is if i would prepare for kazakhstan or bosnia. the name of the team is irrelevant. we have to get the points we need, that's the most important thing to do. it's a big world cup qualifying game, the games in america were great to me as a learning curve, learning about the standards that we are competing against, there are three points now, they are top of the group and we have to make sure by end of play on friday that we are back on top of the group where we believe we should be. the stats between the groups don't make pretty reading for wales, eight times they played and eight times england have won but could be tonight that family wales get one over on the lionesses? full coverage on bbc two, kick off at 7pm.

included england's women have lost the first match in their one—day series against india, losing by one wicket in nagpur. urbanist daniel wyatt and tammy beaumont made 71 that england were bowled out for 207. they pushed india tours thanks to teenage spinner sophie eccleston who took nine wickets. although the hosts reached their target in the final over. penny moran was there. de vita england in this first one—day international in nagpur in a match that echoes the world cup final at lord's in july. match that echoes the world cup final at lord's injuly. england once more scoring a meagre total and just when it looked like they were going to win, india are almost getting home. this time india did win. anya shrubsole, stand in captain in place of the injured heather knight was understandably disappointed. it was always tight at the end, credits to india today, i think we showed immense fight again today to get a total on the board and drag ourselves back into the

game. unfortunately it was not enough but if we can take a lot of things we did well in this came into the next one we will be doing well. the next one—day game is a game at nagpur, england will be desperate to put right what went wrong, they couldn't quite get over the line, sophie eccleston, 18, taking 4—7, really impressive from her, interesting to see if england decided changes are required to change england's fortunes. henry moran, bbc news, nagpur. that'sjust about it, the bbc sport website, all the highlights of the commonwealth games, with test commentary of the masters second round. have a great weekend, whatever sport to follow, we'll leave you tonight with memories of the sporting great, a giant on the oche, eric bristow, the crafty cockney who died last night aged just 60, he had a heart attack in liverpool at darts tournament.

the reaction of the crowd and the players as they learned of his death. from all of us at the bbc sports centre, good night. singing there's only one eric bristow # only one eric bristow... commentator: it's double ten. eric bristow! from stoke newington! he becomes the 1980 champion of the world. just! off he goes like a rocket. singing # there's only one eric bristow! # there's only one eric bristow! # only one eric bristow!|j # there's only one eric bristow! # only one eric bristow! i want to set up such a high standard, by the time i've finished when someone else comes along and they think he will be the new eric bristow, we will see

how bloody good years! he's got to do the business. —— how good he is! thursday not quite as sunny across the uk as per expectations, in fact some rain as well and the skies are hazy, a picture from london early on, up a—level, despite that temperatures reached 17 celsius in st james's park and temperatures reached 17 celsius in stjames's park and making it the warmest day of the year. you can see how cloudy it has been across a number of areas. all this cloud of england was quite thin. the rain bearing clouds were earlier in the day across western areas and that's where got that last bit in the mild and the cooler air, wind is still coming in from the south, still mild airon top of coming in from the south, still mild air on top of us, the warmest weather across europe, into the 20s. the weather for weather across europe, into the 20s. the weatherfor tonight, weather across europe, into the 20s. the weather for tonight, southerly winds, and bit of rain expected

early on saturday across south—western england into wales, the north—west of scotland as well but for most of the uk it will be dried tonight and temperatures will be five or 6 degrees. through saturday the wind is still coming in from the south, dragging in a fair bit of cloud and some rain in the forecast as well. so not an ideal day because they will be rain in the morning, it should clear out of say bristol by late morning and then moved to wales into merseyside, across yorkshire into newcastle but it looks as if most of the afternoon across much of scotland the weather will be tried, some showers in the north, aberdeen 1a, you've got that rain from newcastle and middlesbrough trying out into the second half of the afternoon, apart from this blob of rain which will be sweeping this part of the country, it's not that bad, many of us will

have bright dry weather. on sunday remember the weather at this stage, still coming in from the south and we have southerly winds, again on sunday the thinking is that they will be cloud across the uk, probably more rain moving across almost the same area from the south through the midlands into yorkshire as well. again a relatively mild, 15 degrees in london, 13 degrees in edinburgh and a quick look at the weather early next week, not a lot changes, still a fair bit of cloud and some rain from time to time. this is bbc news. the headlines at 7pm: richard osborn—brooks, arrested on suspicion of murdering a suspected burglar, has been released without charge. sergei skripal, the former russian

spy, is no longer in a critical condition and is responding well to treatment. the foreign office has refused his niece a visa to come to the uk and visit her relatives in hospital. the met police commissioner offers reassurance to londoners after a string of murders. we have not lost control of the streets. i can understand why some people are very worried at the moment, particularly in some areas of london. palestinian sources say israeli troops have killed at least six people and wounded more than 400, in renewed violence on gaza's border with israel. campaigners have hailed the introduction of a tax on sugary soft drinks. also in the next hour, controversy at the sumo wrestling.
