they would not be needed if the uk quits the eu but stays in its single market and customs union. but mrs may says leaving those, too, is a red line for her. it wouldn't be delivering on brexit. the border is this stream here. the renahans have farmed here for six generations. their fields stretch over both sides of the border. the neath the republic burden and the uk. these are both your feels? both our fields. ireland will have the uk's only land border with eu and a busy one. 30% of milk from the north goes south to be processed. 50% of lamb does, too and from the south comes 25% of beef used in the north. the eu's proposal is that if any checks are needed, they will not happen along the line between northern ireland and ireland, but in the uk. northern ireland staying under most of the eu's single market and customs rules. but for theresa may and northern ireland's democratic unionists, who support her in parliament, any new border within the uk is unacceptable. however, the uk government has not

put forward any alternative legal text to the eu's version. that is the only one in the negotiations. mrs may hopes a future trade deal, built around the chequers plan, will make border checks unnecessary. but the eu wants a border guarantee now. without one, it won't agree an exit treaty. about that, the uk faces a no—deal brexit. this is the final point of our journey, the port of warrenpoint. we are in northern ireland, the republic is just over the water there and this handles a little more than 10% of northern ireland's trade. some believe technology can raise the borders, but both eu and the uk say it cannot remove the need for checks. so the dilemma, is there any border solution acceptable to the eu, uk, unionists and other brexiteers alike? the eu's hope now is to tweak its plan to make it more palatable by making any checks that would have

to happen here less obtrusive. the question is, could theresa may sell that to her party and mps in parliament? if not, any brexit deal may be in trouble. damian grammaticas, bbc news, on the irish border. and we'll have more key brexit questions coming up throughout the week. you can watch the series so far on the bbc iplayer. now on bbc one it's time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm sarah mulkerrins. coming up: another great european night for liverpool at anfield — an injury time winner from firmino against psg. tottenham were leading in milan but two late goals

cost them against inter. and stokes and hales are charged by the ecb with bringing the game of cricket into disrepute. hello and welcome to sportsday. let's start with the champions league, and the five goal thriller at anfield. liverpool do big nights in european football at home and this tie against paris st germain didn't disappoint. substitute roberto firmino scored at stoppage time winner to give jurgen klopp‘s side a dramatic 3—2 victory in their group c opener. well, our correspondent andy swiss is at anfield and watched all the drama unfold. yes, this match always have the

makings of a classic in this third link lived up to the billing. we are used to seeing those bombs bombing sta rts used to seeing those bombs bombing starts for liverpool. we saw that last season against rome and manchester city and again tonight. they took a two—goal lead in the first half, the first goal scored by daniel sturridge. making his first champions league start for six yea rs, champions league start for six years, not a bad way to make an impact. from there liverpool extended their lead after psg conceded a penalty. eric wijnaldum tumbling in the box and james milner coolly converted the spot kick as he a lwa ys coolly converted the spot kick as he always seems to do. 2—0 liverpool, but then psg came backjust before the break, a goal out of the blue really from thomas meunier. that gave psg hope at the break, two on

the score line at half—time, but the drama had really onlyjust begun because after the break liverpool had a goal ruled out, but ten minutes left psg equalised. it was batman, kylian mbappe—lottin who made such an impact for france at the world cup —— that man. he made it 2-2 the world cup —— that man. he made it 2—2 and at that point it seemed as if liverpool were going to be frustrated. it seemed as if in thought they was going to get that valuable point for psg —— in that day. just when psg thought they had that point in the dying seconds of stoppage time liverpool snatched another famous winner, roberto firmino. he was in doubt for the match because of an eye injury picked up against tottenham at the weekend, not a bad way to celebrate will stop roberto firmino stealing a 3-2 will stop roberto firmino stealing a 3—2 victory for liverpool and another breathless and breathtaking night here. i suppose we have been talking a lot about liverpool this season talking a lot about liverpool this season and their development as a

squatin season and their development as a squat in terms of bringing more resilience to the team and really grinding out bees matches. this would surely have pleased jurgen klopp. —— grinding out bees matches —— grinding out bees absolutely, because when liverpool took that lead and let it slip to a tie we thought it might be some of familiarfrailties to tie we thought it might be some of familiar frailties to snatched the winner. so important notjust in the scope of the three points but psychologically they will feel they have learned for him what they went through last season in the champions league. they made a storming start to the premier league with a 100% record, five out of five so far in the premier league and after this start to the champions league as well they will feel they have so much confidence going into the rest of the season, potentially a very tricky group for them, but they got off to the perfect start here tonight. aunties with at anfield for us, thank you very much. a stunning lead victory for liverpool —— and he swings at anfield. —— andy place. a stunning late victory

for liverpool then — but it was the opposite for tottenham. inter milan clinched a late 2—1 win on their return to the competition after a seven—year absence. christian eriksen had put spurs ahead early in the second half and they looked comfortable, but the home side hit back late on. ben croucher was watching this one. welcome to the disneyland of football, the odd description given to the champions league by the inter coach, but this was not peretz, but malign and no night for goofing around or much decent football in the first half. the best chance came to the harry kane, suddenly it looked like he... i thought disneyland was meant to be fun. the coach limit before the break will not have enjoyed what followed it. gretchen ericsson with the second chance, the extra touches doing nothing to deflect attention from spurs's confident display. the strikers that off scraps for most of the night, emphasis on the most. during the 85th minute he did this. the bold bid to win any game. they did not win this one. another did

though, two minutes into stoppage time and a showed to the night —— deny tottenham a fairy tale start to their european campaign. i'm happy with the performance, disappointed with the performance, disappointed with the performance, disappointed with the rest because i think winning ina with the rest because i think winning in a place like this and playing better and creating a lot of chancesin playing better and creating a lot of chances in the second half to kill the game, we did not. and of course at 1—0 the game is open. well in the other game in group b — lionel messi scored a hat—trick in barcelona's a—nil win at home against psv eindhoven. that brings him to 103 goals in the competition, more than psv, as an entire team over their champions league life. early days, barcelona top that group with inter second on goal difference. a quick look at the full list of results. a good 2—1 away win for atletico madrid in group a at monaco, and in liverpool's group —

red star belgrade, in their return to the compeition after a 26 year absence held napoli to a goalless draw. full details of all the games on the bbc sport website. leeds have stretched their lead at the top of the championship and are still unbeaten, eight games into the season. they won three nil at home to preston. there were also wins for aston villa, stoke, wigan and west brom, who are up to third after a 4—2 win over bristol city. and stoke city's second win of the season came against another of the sides who came down from the top flight last year. joe allen's goal sealed a 1—0 victory over swansea city, but it was a disputed finish with allen appearing to be offside when he put the ball in. the bolton defender stephen darby has retired at the age of 29, after being diagnosed with motor neurone disease. darby came through the youth ranks

at liverpool before moving to bradford in 2012 and joining bolton last summer. he hasn't played since december. manager phil parkinson said "this is heartbreaking news for stephen and his family, he's an outstanding professional and a fantastic person". england cricketers ben stokes and alex hales have been charged with bringing the game into disrepute, in connection with an incident outside a nightclub last year. stokes was cleared of affray after a trial in august. the all—rounder missed the ashes tour in australia last winter and now along with team—mate alex hales, who faced no criminal charges, but was with stokes at the time, will face a disciplinary hearing in december. england have appointed a new defensive coach — new zealanderjohn mitchell will take over until after the world cup injapan next year. mitchell was part of sir clive woodward's coaching team between 1997 and 2000.

he will leave his executive of rugby role at the south african super rugby side, the bulls, tojoin the england set up later this month. england'sjustin rose is looking forward to playing his first tournament as golf‘s world number one. rose reached the top spot last week and goes into the pga's season ending tour championship on thursday knowing a win in atlanta would also give him a first fedex cup. there's obviously a perfect spot to be. i believe the last few guys to win have come in second, maybe so it is kind of a nice spot to be. we all know and talk about it all year long, being in this position, top five guys. you have to play well this week. 0bviously five guys. you have to play well this week. obviously we have jostled for position and the bonus when it trickles down into born to be as high as you can do to win the fedex cup is about being in the right spot to win this is kind of what everyone is trying to time their run for and absolutely the last couple of weeks

i've done a greatjob of keeping me in opposition. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. the champions league is back. liverpool started well with a 3—2 win against psg, not too good for totte n ha m win against psg, not too good for tottenham losing 2—1 away at inter. full details on the website but for me in the west of the team it is goodbye for now. coming up in a moment as the papers. as for me and the rest of the team. coming up in a moment is the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political strategist, jo tanner and chief political commentator for the independent, john rentoul. welcome to both of you.

many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. be proud of your council houses —— that's the message from theresa may on the front of the telegraph, in a speech which it's claimed will signal a major shift in tory policy on social housing. meanwhile, the express has an exclusive interview with the prime minister who says her brexit plan delivers the freedoms that people voted for. the guardian reports on criticism from business leaders on the government's migration advisory committee report. the report proposes scrapping visas for lower—paid workers after britain leaves the eu. the inquests into the deaths in the westminster bridge terror attack features on the front of the metro — it reports that murdered pc keith palmer was failed by outdated security arrangements. the financial times leads on the continuing trade war between the us and china with china slapping new tariffs on sixty billion dollars of american goods. and the i says the bbc may have to revoke free tv licenses

for the over seventy fives as the corporation faces increased competition. let's dip into a few of those in the next ten minutes or so. take us to the ft and what they are saying about immigration in this report that's been widely discussed today. they are interestingly talking about the fact that theresa may is a p pa re ntly the fact that theresa may is apparently next week going to see cat —— seek cabinet approval of plans for a more restrictive post brexit peter greste amazed that regime, based on this issue of a report that was released today —— post brexit immigration regime. suggesting that there should be restriction on lower skilled workers and more high skilled workers encouraged. we have been waiting for some sort of move from the government, it is long—awaited the paper on what will happen with

immigration and part of the delay has been waiting for this report that was commissioned by the former home secretary amber rudd. and there was a suggestion that amber rudd had been looking for this report to do something in particular with regards to looking into european migration and actually it is kind of knock on what was expected —— not done what was expected, but it has caused quite backlash, concern about industry and many sectors that do need lower skilled workers post brexit and very concerned about who will take thejobs brexit and very concerned about who will take the jobs that are needed. quite strong language from concerned parties on that. absolutely. because asjoe says, it is unexpectedly helpful to theresa may in that she wants a fairly restrictive approach to immigration after brexit. she doesn't want to give preferential access to our labour market
