hello and welcome to sportsday. hello, thanks forjoining us. let's get straight to that story out of arsenal this evening. the club are set to appoint unai emery as their new manager. he'll replace arsene wenger, of course. our sports correspondent, david ornstein, is with us. david, you broke this story this evening. what do we know so far? it was about 7:45pm one we got the news that unai emery was now by far and away the leading candidate for the arsenaljob. he was said to be appointed and it is quite a shock because so many people thought that mikel arteta had thejob in the bag and that all arsenal needed to do was pressed the button and he would be the new manager. the former
10:33 pm
captain and of course assistant manager at manchester city. however there has been a turn of events. it will shock many people and has divided arsenalfans will shock many people and has divided arsenal fans already. unai emery is 46 years old and has led psg to the french title as well as domestic cups in his four seasons at the club. he led sevilla to the europa league title. he did fail to get past the last 16 of the champions league at psg despite having a hugely expensive squad. his english is not fluent. but could be an issue but he does come in and he will be unveiled later this week. they have gone for experience rather than bringing in a fall —— former player. it seems like this has come out of left field. it was made by
10:34 pm
three men, those executives put their chosen candidate to the board. iamof their chosen candidate to the board. i am of the understanding that unai emery was the unanimous choice. the board of directors and the owner then makes the decision and they have decided to go with what many people will say is a safe pair of hands, compared to mikel arteta. and we should hear from hands, compared to mikel arteta. and we should hearfrom unai emery later this week. let's hearfrom we should hearfrom unai emery later this week. let's hear from a former arsenal player, ian wright. unai emery had a load of money to spend at psg. emery had a load of money to spend at p56. he is meant to be coming to arsenal with 50 million and a bunch of players that have been very much playing in second gear. his coaching ability is going to have to really get going. instantly. and he's going to have to find some gems in the
10:35 pm
transfer market. ian wright mentioning the budget. £50 million is the figure he bandied around. is he used to working with that kind of money? not at all. at psg, they had one of the richest squads in the world. but at sevilla, there were financial restrictions placed on unai emery and he won three europa league titles. there will be that budget could be supplemented by outgoing players. it could actually be higher than that at the end. he will have to work in a continental model with others making the decisions alongside him. it is a new system for arsenal after 22 yea rs decisions alongside him. it is a new system for arsenal after 22 years of arsene wenger and unai emery is the man they think is the right man to lead them forward. not the only news from arsenal tonight. the club's confirmed santi cazorla will leave them when his contract ends this summer. despite making 180 appearances for the gunners, he's not played since october 2016 because of an achilles
10:36 pm
tendon injury. he'll reportedly train with his old club villarreal in spain before next season. now, what a week it's going to be for liverpool, and we've been hearing from jurgen klopp today ahead of their champions league final. he's urging his team to be brave on saturday night against real madrid. klopp and his players rerturned from warm weather training in spain today, and will head to kiev for the final later this week. and after today's open training session at anfield, he revealed he thinks liverpool can cancel out madrid's vast european experience. it is an advantage to be more experience but you can level it with desire, with readiness, with attitude, with workrate, and that is good. but is what i love in football. eni aluko says she hasn't ruled out a return to the england women's team, but admits it's not her call. the striker hasn't played for her country since 2016. and last year, the fa apologised to her for racially discriminatory remarks made by former england manager mark sampson.
10:37 pm
he's since been sacked and replaced by phil neville. aluko, who scored 33 goals in 102 games for the lionesses, is leaving chelsea ladies this summer for a move abroad, but she says that shouldn't prevent a recall. i don't think moving abroad would be a negative for any potential england recall. but if i keep scoring goals and playing well and getting my name out there then it is up to phil neville. it is up to him what leaders. england's cricket summer starts this thursday at lord's with the first of two tests against pakistan. back in the test squad for the first time in 18 months isjos buttler, who's cut short his stint in the indian premier league. hers‘s our sports correspondent, joe wilson. how do you bat in test match cricket? as lords prepares for the first test of the summer, there are of the way things used to be done.
10:38 pm
jos buttler not playing many forward defences in the indian premier league but it was his boundary hitting that impress the selectors. jos buttler a key selection in the squad at a time when english cricket in general is trying to engage people and excite people. it struck me thatjos buttler ‘s role in the tea m me thatjos buttler ‘s role in the team is very much to do that and that was a point i put to him when we spoke earlier today. try and be positive and score runs. that is what the game is about. however fashion you do that. great cricketers from all generations have done it in their own way. i think thatis done it in their own way. i think that is what has been asked of me is to play the way that suits me and in my fashion. but the bigger picture that you have asked about, i don't think that necessarily affects me what i think that is something about cricket as a whole in england and
10:39 pm
around the world at the minute, especially the team. the team needs to engage with the public and make cricket very popular. interesting thatjos buttler said shane warne actually gave him some tips about getting back into test match cricket but he reckons there is an open—minded selection process these days, which helps to explain the presence of a 20—year—old spin bowler in the squad. english cricket is investing in raw talent to try and get rid of the stigma of such a disappointing winter. paul gustard has backed england to win next year's rugby union world cup, despite leaving eddiejones‘ set—up. it's been confirmed the defence coach willjoin harlequins as their new head of rugby after england's tour to south africa next month. the premiership club have agreed to pay the rfu compensation for gustard, who's worked with eddiejones since 2016. his departure means england will be without a permanent defence and attack coach with the world cup injapan just 15 months away. opportunities do not always open at
10:40 pm
the time you want it to do. as i said, the fact that harlequins are such a big club, the fact they have underperformed, there is real potential year and i believe i can make a real difference. it is right for me and my family and i know the pa rt for me and my family and i know the part i have played with england at the progress we have made and i know what i have contributed. and i will be as happy as everybody else involved in that organisation and the rest of the country when we lift the rest of the country when we lift the world cup in 2019. britain's jay clarke has taken another step towards featuring at next week's french open. the 19 year—old is through to the second round of qualifying after beating india's ramkumar ramanathan in three sets in paris, and will play former grand slam quarter—finalist bernard tomic next. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. unai emery is set to be named
10:41 pm
arsenal ‘s new manager. much more on that online. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator, lance price and the deputy political editor at the sunday times, caroline wheeler. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro is going to start us off with some pride and joy, their front page dominated by an official royal
10:42 pm
wedding photograph of the duke and duchess of sussex. another official photograph appears on the daily express but that is above the news that boris johnson express but that is above the news that borisjohnson has tonight ruled out a snap general election to break the deadlock over brexit. the telegraph has a crackdown on wood—burning stoves. ministers are to announce that new plans in a drive to reduce poor air quality. we will be talking about any moment. a boost for ba rclays will be talking about any moment. a boost for barclays and the financial times. the times is reporting on the opening of the grenfell tower enquiry. we have been reporting on that all day on the bbc. families of six of the victims killed in the fire nearly a year ago have given emotional tributes on the first day of proceedings. meltdown on the railways. the
10:43 pm
biggest timetable change in decades, they say. they say it causes chaos across the country. the daily mirror is looking at a new study that scientists claim exposure to bacteria is the key to preventing childhood leukaemia and i think that is where we will start. this seems to be... it isa is where we will start. this seems to be... it is a major study. and it isa to be... it is a major study. and it is a serious study. this is notjust some quack medical story. it seems pretty seismic. yes and actually i ama pretty seismic. yes and actually i am a mother of three and i have been through many an illness with my children and you kind of blame yourself for not having used antibacterial and their fans kept your house very sanitised and what this is saying is to be exposed to james is a good thing because it builds up their immune system and it means they have actually got a defence when they get something like flu so they can fight it off. those children that are kept in a more clea n children that are kept in a more clean and sanitised environment are
10:44 pm
much more likely to find it difficult to fight off those illnesses when they get them, which is really interesting because if you think about what we do as parents in those first few months and even yea rs, those first few months and even years, where we sterilise like mad, bottles a nd years, where we sterilise like mad, bottles and worry absolutely about whether or not a dummy falls on the floor or whatever. what this is saying is a bit of dirt, a bit bacteria is actually good in the long run and so it might see these things changing now around the practices we have around sterilisation. it is also for me a personal celebration of the fact that i have always failed to keep my house tidy. and with having had three children, we have had a ten second rule that has largely become a two—minute rule in terms of food falling on the floor. this may lead toa falling on the floor. this may lead to a more relaxed attitude around germs and children. the scientists who have devoted the last 30 years
10:45 pm
to this was in the studio earlier on. is the practical assumption now that parents should actuallyjust chill out a little bit on keeping everything neat and clean and he said yes because we evolved in a particular way and yet we have changed our habits so dramatically in the last 20 years or so. and it has much wider implications.
