one of the tracks. # she is beautifully unconventional, she seems to be place in the world, must be the best place in the world. that is beautifully unconventional from the mercury prize winning album. i saw how emotional you got. why does this mean so much to wolf alice? um, i don't know. ithinkl have always found being a musician, being a performer, the whole industry extremely intimidating. i have been scared about it and have not known what i was doing. but here we are, four best friends. we still don't know what we are doing, but we are here. it means everything. i don't know the answer to that question! i'm just so happy! don't know the answer to that question! i'mjust so happy! we are too happy to even talk about it right now. this is very much an award for an album. why does the
10:32 pm
album still matter in 2018? we are one of the last generations that grew up listening to albums on cds. that is how we got into music and it is an important medium. i think things will progress, but it is up to you. this is the trophy, hold it up to you. this is the trophy, hold it upfor to you. this is the trophy, hold it up for the camera. and there is a £25,000 prize which they say they would spend the rest of the evening deciding how to spend. colin, congratulations to wolf alice. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm hugh ferris. our headlines tonight: three wins out of four for british sides in the europa league tonight, with arsenal leading the way. they hit four against vorskla. rangers are the only team not to win. but their draw is an impressive one at spanish side villarreal. and widespread condemnation for wada,

who have reinstated russia's anti—doping agency after their near three year ban for state sponsored cheating. hello and welcome to sportsday. hello again. thanks forjoining us. three wins, one draw, a good start in the europa league for the british teams involved. and of the four, it was the four goals scored by arsenal that gave them the biggest win of the night. we'll hear about how the old firm fared in a moment. but first craig templeton watched the premier league pair. arsenal made the semifinals of the competition last season and with a hat trick of the league titles to

his name, they will be hoping for one better after a stuttering start against ukrainian side, the game was kicked into gear by an arsenal counterattack on the end of it. mkhitaryan spent four years playing in ukraine, maybe that's why he was able to find danny welbeck with such ease. mkhitaryan then repeated his trick again, he did the rest. arsenal have room for one more, with a result of breaching the tide defence to make it 4—0. ukrainians did have a final show of defiance. through his left foot and then they made it 4—2 with a final kick of the game. but it's the gunners who start theircampaign game. but it's the gunners who start their campaign with a victory. chelsea travel to greece without even hazard after the belgian complained of tiredness. so who will they turn to to provide the spark? well william is not a bad replacement and he's not a bad finisher either. 1—0, seven minutes
10:35 pm
gone. one finisher either. i—o, seven minutes gone. one man who could do with a goal is overall, he scored one this season goal is overall, he scored one this season and he was this close to number two. a new style of play which is easy on the eye, chelsea struggled to double their lead. the linesman got in the way of morata's moments with another grand showing he was at least level. he is named after the sister of alexander the great but surely he wouldn't have approved of this conflict between them. that continued on until after them. that continued on until after the final whistle, but he wants care as he makes it six wins from six. rangers have already played eight games before getting to this stage of the competition. while celtic might have rather been in a different one. patrick gearey tells us about scotland's night in the europa league. you can't blame rangers fans for enjoying the sun they've spent long enough out in the cold, eight years
10:36 pm
in europe, 43 seconds on till they went behind the villareal, the team known as the yellow submarine. but under steven gerrard, or rangers have lost only once and came back after the break. was this a penalty? they would be pleased it wasn't given. his first goal this year price list for the top. barely have they gather their thoughts and the good work was undone space and time for gerrard mari o, 2—1. rangers have found gold afloat this season, this move shows why. he did what he has done so often for northern ireland. rangers are back. it it was all new to them, he was deja vu for celtic were already played and beat them in champions league qualifying. it took until the final minutes of the first half, the celtics are really friends and they could not beat them. but, as they slept in, celtics swept forward. what might be
10:37 pm
a crucial goal in their group, leaving celtic and equal parts drenched and delirious. manchester city have picked up their first win of the women's super league season, thrashing everton 4—0 this evening. georgia stanway, claire emslie and two from england striker nikita parris against her old club gave city the win. in the championship, manchester united's first home league game ended in a comfortable 3—0 win over sheffield united women. anthonyjoshua claims it's hisjob to "show the non drug cheat is a stronger & better fighter" as he prepares to defend his world heavyweight titles against alexander povetkin. a russian who failed two doping tests in 2016. it's the weigh in tomorrow. this was all fairly jovial at the press conference today. a sell—out of around 90,000 is expected on saturday at wembley stadium. and joshua is surprised given it's not the big bout with deyontay wilder many were hoping for. skill was and technique was a part
10:38 pm
ofa skill was and technique was a part of a dead we can dig deep, so that a lwa ys of a dead we can dig deep, so that always turns real good, and we will do the same again saturday night. but our skills on the line and i think the one who's toughest will out victorious. it's a decision that's been called ‘treachery‘ and a ‘devastating blow‘. but wada have confirmed that the suspension of russia's anti—doping agency has been lifted. rusada have been banned for the best part of three years after evidence of state sponsored doping on a mass scale. but they've been reinstated, subject to certain conditions, with several leading anti—doping bodies and athletes objecting to the move. which was agreed by the wada executive committee today. ever since the compliance review committee last week recommended that its executive committee take this decision, it's been in the cards, having said that it still
10:39 pm
unquestionably the most divisive and controversial decision that they have made in its 19 year history because it's in defiance of an unprecedented outcry by athletes in the west and also senior figures within the anti—doping community, uk sport as well, all of whom were asking for the very least to postpone this decision. the reason for that is twofold. one, the scale of the crime that russia was originally accused of. remember, they were found to have subverted they were found to have subverted the entire under the open system. this is a remarkable doping conspiracy. state—sponsored allegedly, went to the very top, across 30 sports, a thousand athletes involved, sabotaging events as big as the 2012 games and such he 2014 winter olympics as well and get your they are as a result of the decision back in the fold, as effectively representative of a reinvention of russia to international sport. it could be for major sporting events like track and field team news and be back to full
10:40 pm
strength and competing under the nationalflag. strength and competing under the national flag. the second strength and competing under the nationalflag. the second reason is how this was done. we revealed the last few days not once but twice, attem pts last few days not once but twice, atte m pts to last few days not once but twice, attempts to compromise by senior leaders with the russians over two key criteria, i think it's that which has sparked such uproar among many athletes. danny cipriani wasn't picked for england's lastest training camp but he might still make the world cup next year. eddiejones says his decision to leave the gloucester player out of his plans was based on form. and not the player's recent admission to common assault and resisting arrest, for which he was fined. here's his reaction to some of our rugby reporter chrisjones' questions. so do you think the form for lester has been comparable to cipriani's but the fans have been saying differently? i think it's comparable. so it's been better than cipriani's? that's the judgement of mine. on his performance, the one
10:41 pm
more consistency from him, do you think he would focus on the flashy passes where as you want the performance with different components in place? performance with different components in place ?|j performance with different components in place? i think i performance with different components in place? i thinki have just discussed that, there are areas he needs to work on and he understands that. and you will go and work on them i'm sure he will. this time next week, we'll be eagerly awaiting the first tee shot at the ryder cup. but many players from both teams have a different, more lucrative prize to play for the fedexcup in america, worth around $10 million to the winner, concludes in atlanta. tiger woods heads the leaderboard after an eagle on the last. he's five under par alongside rickie fowler, whilstjustin rose, in his first tournament as world number one is tied for fourth on three under par with four holes to play. wigan warriors bolstered their second spot in superleague's super eight‘s with a narrow win over huddersfield giants. there was just a point in it until oliver gildart‘s try a couple of minutes from time earned wigan a 13—7 win.
10:42 pm
huddersfield crucially missed the chance to leapfrog wakefield in fifth. and the british number one johanna konta is out of the pan pacific open injapan. she was beaten in straight sets in the second round by donna vekic. konta was 4—1 up in the second set before the croatian fought back. that's all from sportsday. coming up next on bbc news it's the papers. goodnight. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
10:43 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former pensions minister ros altmann and the broadcaster david davies. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. and they have a similar tale to tell. the guardian says theresa may is left fighting to save her chequers brexit plan, and with it her authority as prime minister, after she was ambushed at the end of the salzburg summit by eu leaders who unexpectedly declared that her proposals would not work. the daily mirror says theresa may's brexit plan is in tatters after eu leaders bluntly rejected it. the daily telegraph says theresa may was humiliated by european union leaders in salzburg as they unanimously rejected her chequers plan as unworkable. the metro says the prime minister's brexit strategy was thrown back in herface as eu leaders boasted they are better prepared for a no—deal than she is. the financial times claims theresa may was ambushed by eu leaders, as they warned
10:44 pm
that her economic plan for brexit would not work and gave herfour weeks to save the exit talks. the daily mail says the prime minister warned she's ready to walk away from the eu without a deal. the daily express has a furious theresa may vowing not to back down in the eu negotiations after the bloc flatly rejected her plan for a brexit deal. and the times says the prime minister theresa is battling to salvage her brexit strategy and facing a fresh tory revolt after being humiliated by european leaders. in other words there is a theme. let's have a look through them in a little more detail. take us to the mirror. it's as much about the photograph and a story. mirror. it's as much about the photograph and a story] mirror. it's as much about the photograph and a story. , this photograph and a story. , this photograph with them with their backs roundly together and theresa
10:45 pm
may on the side just sort of looking on. it's all these men, i don't know why they did not find any of the woman involved, but it is really stark. there are some of. angela merkel is not there. but this is a vision of us against them. there are 27 countries and there's us. and this throws it into really sharp relief. theresa may looking lovely in her red jacket but facing the stony man of europe. it's really a crisis for theresa may. let's move on and show the guardian front page. and then obviously we can talk at greater length about what it all means. what's interesting about this, we were talking in the office about why you pick a particular image that define
