vacant. second minute, 1—0, coutinho. hugo lloris has missed a lot of football for various reasons. he now needed a comeback in his comeback. what he got was this. barcelona's second goal. rakitic onto it! 0h, whata hit! now, remember tottenham have one of the best forwards in world football, don't they? here's harry kane with one of his own. so, lionel messi, back to you. lost sight of him again? there he is. 3—1 to barcelona. game over? well, no. erik lamela had a chance to shoot and took it. 3-2. spurs were back in it. but guess who was in the perfect place to win it? tottenham's mess — and messi's finish. six goals in north london. down in napoli it looked like there wouldn't be any. liverpool survived countless close shaves, especially this one. but the 90th minute is a brilliant time to score the only goal of the game.

still, it's early enough in the champions league to recover from one defeat. joe wilson, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two, here's evan. apart from examining the prime minister's dance moves we hear from david attenborough a0 years after his series life on earth are we asking how tv has changed, how the world has changed and whether we should stop eating meat and more. hello and welcome to sportsday. coming upforyou. britain is open for sport. big plans to bring world events to the uk are revealed. barcelona made to sweat but messi tidies things up

at wembley as they beat spurs. and liverpool on the receiving end of an italianjob as they lose to napoli. hello and welcome to sportsday. more on the champions league to come. but first news that uk sport intends to bid to host a whole series of high profuile sporting events over the next few years. a potential world cup bid received government backing last week and now it's been announced that further events are being targeted, including the ryder cup, cycling's grand tours and world athletics again. our sports editor dan roan told me the uk has a good track record already. 0ver

over the last few years, as you know, britain has been spoiled with the amount of evidence that has been hosted. the start of the tour de france and the rugby world cup, the list goes on. and a part of the reason for that is that britain has the confidence because the hose export a real it is quite adept at it. but accomplished and has a reputation for it. with brexit limning the government has realised that some of the things he can perhaps use to promote britain abroad and help unify the country. perhaps trade deals could spring from it. we have more support in the next two years the likes of the commonwealth games. even sooner next yearfor commonwealth games. even sooner next year for example and what we learned today was a whole new raft of sport events over the next day gave over 2020 onwards the likes of the football world cup and the government is backing that. the ryder cup and starts of all three

cycling grantors as well. perhaps in consecutive years this is what they are targeting and it does not mean they will be there for all of the events but the funding agency has got it in mind and they spoke to me earlier. a combination of reasons why would want to host events and it's about hosting this event and a huge pride associated with it and a real positive impact that we could have with the country during those events but also from and after point of view it's, if you can compete at a home event then in a statistically the chances are that you will be wars successful. and around the time that we would be more qualified for the perlic games. and for mr 66 point of view it's very important to do. and sporting motivations. one of the potential downsides for going for these bids? as was proving in

2010 when england was stimulated when it went for the 2018 world cup and only got to make votes. £21 million was spent today can do nothing. we were talking about bidding for another world cup you have to know about that risk. they're expensive to stage for these events and look at the finances of the olympic stadium. and so the taxpayer will have to pay for service and if you are to stage a major event you have to pay a licensing fee to the international federation of that can run into the millions of pounds. for birmingham concerns with the local authorities finances and whether or not the commonwealth games and made them even worse. they will tell you it is for that and generates resumes of conspiring against google playing sport and a feeble habit to be hosting the sports events and so they think it's definitely the right thing to do. as sa does not meet all of these events that it put on a big

list truss will be bid for but i think several of them will and certainly the one that they really wa nt to certainly the one that they really want to land as they say is the world cup in 12 years' time from 110w. wembley was the stage for spurs v barcelona tonight. and fans saw a wonderful, free—flowing game. a—2 it finished. barcelona the winners and spurs are now 2—games into their champions league campaign and have nothing to show forn their efforts. patrick geary reports. when barcelona are in town you don't worry about the electricity bill, but having turned the lights on spurs found they had no one at home. philip left aiming at the goal 100 euros little more than 90 seconds in. todd and settled a little but barcelona have talent everywhere, so just what you think you're safe if v011 just what you think you're safe if von did that in instead. that seems impossible even in slow motion. totte n ha m impossible even in slow motion. tottenham wearing has been in the wembley pitch damaged by the fight

here. just a moment for the harry kane to get out of his corner. to have been one for about four minutes and then barcelona went up again and then messi had arty hit the post twice. surely get over but the spurs a surge or more. tottenham believed. there was still fighting right into the final minute of the 90 but when messi get that they are the results are inevitable. liverpool were in italy facing napoli where the game was heading for a goal less draw until the home side struck late. nick parrott has the story. in the integrated liverpool look like they've been transported back the years. that was when roy hodgins sought a goalless draw in those days we re sought a goalless draw in those days were supposed to be long gone. this was only the second time this year his side failed to manage a shot on target in the first half. it is

plans were hampered when they were forced off. 0ne plans were hampered when they were forced off. one man who could rely on was allison and they might have trailed the interval. and he kept liverpool in the start of the second half as well. on the one occasion he could not make the savejoe gomez blushes. but they were relentless in their search for gold. why liverpool failed to the target for the first time since 2012. in the final they break the deadlock and a web of one us team that clean sheet. here's the rest of the results. favourites atletico and borussia both won in group a inter milan's win and spurs defeat means tottenham have no points and are 6—behind in group b paris st—germain scored six. shalke and porto won in group d west brom missed the chance to go back to the top of the championship but staged a late comeback to get a point at sheffield wednesday. adam reach put the home side ahead midway through the first half. anotherjust before half—time,

from jamie forestieri, made it 2—0. it looked like it would stay that way but with 86 minutes played joey pelupessy scored an own goal. and that sparked the baggies into life and a minute later harvey barnes got the equaliser. that result means sheffield united's win at blackburn takes them above albion into third, but on the same number of points as middlesbrough and leeds above them. forest and norwich both move into play—off places. aston villa are looking for a new manager after sacking steve bruce. the club have won only once in their last 11 games and are thirteenth in the championship. bruce, who had been at villa forjust under two years, is the first manager in the top two divisions to lose hisjob this season. andrew strauss has stepped down as england's director of cricket after three and a half years in the role. strauss had taken a break in may after his wife ruth entered a new period

of treatment for cancer. andy flower, who has covered for him, will continue in an interim role before a full—time replacement is found. the former england test captain says 2019 is "potentially the most important the game has had in this country" with the world cup and ashes series on home soil... those around him say he's done a good job. he's been incredibly instrumental in ourforward thinking and planning to the position of where we are at the moment. it's easily brushed over, but certainly you go back to the start of our summer in 2015, the direction given by him to myself, paul farbrace was the interim coach at the time, and all the selectors was to build something that will prepare you for the 2019 world cup. without that direction we would not have been allowed the freedom to play in that manner, because we can plan four years ahead.

new great britain hockey coach danny kerry took charge of his first game at the lee valley centre in london. gb took on belgium in a game that celebrated the 30—year anniversary of their famous olympic gold medal victory at the seoul 1988 games. a 2—1 victory for gb added to the celebrations. the winning goal. coming up in a moment, the papers. see you later. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are the political correspondent for the evening standard — kate proctor — and the editor of politics home, kevin schofield. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in — and there's one picture that makes all of the front pages — let's take a look. the prime minister is dancing to a new beat according to the telegraph — as she rebrands her brexit plans in her conservative conference speech. theresa may shimmying to the stage to abba's dancing queen makes the metro. and that picture makes the front of the independent as well. the financial times reports that theresa may's speech was laced with censure of her leading eurosceptic critic borisjohnson while the guardian picks up on the prime minister's suggestion

of an end to austerity in sight. get behind may is the daily express' message to its readers but strictly shambolic is the mirror's reaction to mrs may's performance. and the times reports that some schools have had to introduce compulsory photo id for children sitting the 11 plus exam after a few parents sent older children to sit the test for their siblings. right, let's get on with it. well, there's only one store in town according to the front pages. theresa may dancing to a new beat in the daily telegraph. what do you make of that? appearance to the tune of abba. i have to say it was a very funny moment and she came onstage and it took us all by surprise those

of us that were there today covering the party conference. it was so unexpected that theresa may of us that were there today covering the party conference. it was so unexpected that theresa may involve people would come out dancing before she had even started speaking. 0bviously she had even started speaking. obviously there was a low bar last year, the speech was terrible and it fell down. she was given a p a5 by a prankster. she lost her voice and coughed her way through the speech. yak and so to be a will to deliver the speech this year. anything would be better than last year, frankly. to come out in the way was pretty surprising and we were just saying before it will not have come from her it will come from a team around her, but she was obvious the game enough. a quick look at that. his dad for any but it missed the magical moment earlier on today. —— here is that. i mean, she danced

twice when she was in africa and she has a bit of a taste for it. that's where it has come from. she is poking fun of herself because it we nt poking fun of herself because it went viral, that video for dancing twice in africa and everyone was laughing at her because she's not very good dancer. it's whether you can watch that without putting her hands over your eyes. we would do quite like politicians that poke fun at themselves. yeah, and especially her because she's not noted for her sense of humour. she seen as being quite straightlaced and dour so it took us all by surprise when the music started blasting out and she comes jiving music started blasting out and she comesjiving onto the stage.
