6:33 pm
six o'clock start, and it isjust the connection really between our foot ball clu b the connection really between our football club who we support, liverpool, and a heartfelt and hard for the connection. i work for the hospitals and what he did for the hospitals and what he did for the hospitals was absolutely amazing. putting flowers down for my family, my brother and system who are lifelong city fans, just feel the need to say thank you. a silence was held this morning leicester university. —— emma a minutes silence. at the montford university, the vice chancellor paid tribute. it is impossible to overestimate the impact they have had on our city. students signed the book of condolence after the silence. 0ne book of condolence after the silence. one is here unable king power scholarship. about 30 of us gathered on the stadium to leave a message to the family and make sure they know that he has meant so much
6:34 pm
for us. the sea of tributes keeps on growing. this tragedy is so raw for so growing. this tragedy is so raw for so many also the football family have come together, as you can see, and it is great to see. we are all still shocked, it is a really sad few days. he will never be forgotten. he was the king, he was the power. council buildings across leicestershi re the power. council buildings across leicestershire lit up in blue last night as a mark of respect, with tributes being paid as far away as bristol city football club. victoria hicks with that report. and it's just been announced that leicester's game on saturday in the premier league will go ahead. they play at cardiff. their first home game is a week later when they host burnley. two games do go ahead in the league cup tonight. bournemouth host norwich and you can hear commentary from nottingham forest at neighbours burton on bbc radio 5 live. both matches kick off at 7:45pm. it was no surprise when last night
6:35 pm
real madrid announced they'd sacked their manager, julen lopetegui. they've had their worst start to a season for 17 years. santiago solari, the b team coach, is now in charge temporarily. the contenders list for the permanent job includes former chelsea boss antonio conte, tottenham manager mauricio pochettino, and manchester united's jose mourinho. who'll land the top job at the bernabeu? patrick gearey takes a look. well madrid is often described as an institution. for some a palace, for some a prison —— real madrid. there are reminders of the glorious past and expected future. julen lopetegui would hardly have found his way around, sacked by spain on the eve of the world cup for taking the job and then sacked by real madrid yesterday. that is the brutality of the bernabeu the manager'sjob it is still one of the most coveted for football and for now it belongs to santiago solari, coach of the reserve team. how is this for a job
6:36 pm
application? translation: reserve team. how is this for a job application? translationzlj reserve team. how is this for a job application? translation: i have played, i have selected in the jersey until my last drop like many others at this club who have left already come or stu hart gastric or are still here. real madrid is great but it includes as all of these wonderful to work at this club. many feel they will look for a bigger name so feel they will look for a bigger name so who? resident fiorentina perez is known to be in a mire of mauricio pochettino who signed a new contract earlier this year but who has spoken of his low mood as spurs had not been able to beat the likes of manchester city. then there was roberto martinez whose stock has risen after taking belgium to third in the world cup. arsene wenger has been mentioned, he has not retired but the big favourite until recently was the former chelsea boss antonio co nte was the former chelsea boss antonio conte who is out of work but negotiations have apparently stalled. it seems like conte wants a longer contract and wants to bring his own people, fitness coach etc
6:37 pm
come into the picture while real madrid want him to work with the current staff and also accept eight shorter contract, probably because they had to pay lopetegui 20 million euros because they broke the contract and he had three more yea rs. contract and he had three more years. there will of course be pressure. the lead—in zidane led them to the champions league only backin them to the champions league only back in may but since then they have lost the goals of cristiano ronaldo also whoever comes in must lift the tea m also whoever comes in must lift the team from the despair of 85—1 defeated barcelona and their worst start to a season since 2001. it is a hugejob in every respect —— despair of the 5—1 defeat against barcelona. also coming up in the programme... at home both on and off the pitch. wayne rooney tells us how he's settling in stateside: i'm enjoying it, i think the team are playing really well and playing good football and hopefully that continues. she's won four olympic gold medals, now 11 world gold medals.
6:38 pm
simone biles adding her latest today, the team title at the world championships in doha. it's the first of six possible medals the american superstar could take home and all this with a kidney stone. not a bad return to comeptition after 18 months out. it's very special, because i've trained really hard this whole year and coming into the worlds, the whole team has trained hard to be where we are and were very excited. a wonderful team performance and a great performance from you that something were not used to sink a couple of mistakes! is always disappointing but we go back into practice and we have more finals to come. how different are you as a gymnast since rio? i feel! am mentally stronger and physically stronger as well. i know what i'm capable of when i step onto the mat. what would it mean to get a fifth
6:39 pm
all—around title? it has never been done before at world level.m all—around title? it has never been done before at world level. it would be really exciting so we will have to see what happens. beth tweddle is a three—time world champion herself. she says what biles can do as a gymnast is simply phenomenal: simone biles is an incredible athlete, one of the greatest of all time, notjust in our sport but across the board. itjust makes it exciting to be able to watch her. it would be very different if you took her out of the team. it gave a whole different mentality to the competition because at the minute, russia, china and the other countries are going, you know what, gold is taken, we can battle out for silver and bronze. it is a bit like usain bolt. for a long time he had the gold and you knew that would happen so who else was getting medals? it was an interesting race for the next few pieces, a bit like the boys competition yesterday, countries are chopping and changing
6:40 pm
but eventually it was a russia that took the silver medal, the first and they have been on the podium since 2011: at they have been on the podium since 2014 at a world championship. they we re 2014 at a world championship. they were really pleased and great to see them back. china were really far down after the third piece of apparatus but had some great vaulting and that brought them back to the bronze medal. what is it about simone biles and what she produces when she is competing that means that the usa are untouchable? why is it that, with her in the team, no one can get close? she has the difficulty, her level of difficulty is so difficult that even if she makes mistakes, the example she had a mistake on the beam to date but she scored 13.7 even with a huge mistake. most of the other gymnasts are struggling to score 13.7 with a clea n are struggling to score 13.7 with a clean routine. we know she is capable of more stuff than what she is performing so she is almost
6:41 pm
performing below the level. to her it is probably easier! and she makes it is probably easier! and she makes it look easy. 0n the fault, they played safe, she can do the half on with a double twist on the double twist off, she just did one and a half twists which almost gymnasts is a very difficult fault but for her, it makes it look like a walk in the park! just the easy once! -- ones. performing not to her best, there on the beam. that can count as a fault. and on the floor she bounced out. she had so much power and she was so frustrated with herself on the beam that she wanted to make sure she performed on floor so she did the double twisting double script which isa double twisting double script which is a brand—new skill for her and she did rebound out but because she has that level of difficulty she can get away with it on the floor and take that deduction. won gold in the bag for simone biles. is it a clean sweep when she has five more to win?
6:42 pm
i don't think it is a clean sweep when it is all done and dusted. we saw that she can make mistakes. well i would not say it was guaranteed, the others, she has more opportunity to win those titles. and all of this with a kidney stone which i understand is the size of a pearl. she has named it apparently! the pearl of doha! whether that is right, we read it on twitter! unbelievable she can compete, must be but are crippled in pain. she posted the message saying she would not let it get her down and you would be back fighting and she has come out and done it for the team so interesting to see how she plays the next couple of days. she has a rest day tomorrow while the boys do their all—around competition. as beth mentioned, the men are back in action tomorrow in the individual all—around event. james hall and brinn bevan will represent britain. they were part of the team that finished fifth yesterday but, as double olympic champion max whitlock explains, fifth is a result they're happy with. there is no point looking down on
6:43 pm
this, we are still fifth in the world and against great nations. i said before it would be a toughjob for everybody and to come top three is so hard. we are a small country compared with the likes of china and we re compared with the likes of china and were trying to push at the back of the door. what were doing is brilliant, because we came second a couple of years ago does not mean that fifth is bad. we can take a lot from it and improve the lot, there are mistakes we can pick up, get back to training and come back stronger. it's been a tough toil for england's bowlers on the first day of their warm—up match for the sri lanka test series. a sri lankan board xi racked up 392—9 injust 90 overs in colombo. england's seamers struggled in particular. england are likely to bat all day tomorrow in the hope of finding some form ahead of the first test which starts a week today, with moeen ali hoping that england's batsmen can copy the sri lankans' attacking approach.
6:44 pm
i think ithink in i think in the past sometimes we have come in at english players to the subcontinent and almost tried to back our defence too much. i'm not saying don't back it defence but it is about scoring runs here and having your options, whether it is sweeping, reverse sweeping them hitting over the top, we will have to do that. i would love three spinners personally, it would be great as a bowling unit. i think the combination would be right, left arm, rightarm, combination would be right, left arm, right arm, of spin and then you have joe denly arm, right arm, of spin and then you havejoe denly plane, joe root can bowl a few as well. that is probably the way we will go. time for a quick look at some of the other stories making the news today. chelsea assistant coach marco ianni has been fined £6,000 for improper conduct after the confrontation between him and jose mourinho when chelsea scored in injury time to draw with manchester united last month. mourinho had to be restrained after ianni goaded him. the nfl will stage four american football matches in london next year. wembley hosted three this year and will host two of the four next year.
6:45 pm
the others will be at tottenham hotspurs' yet to be completed new stadium. full—back mike brown has been left out of the england squad by eddiejones for saturday's autumn series opener against south africa at twickenham. number eight ben morgan has also been released. lock courtney lawes has been ruled out with a back problem. wayne rooney has been speaking about life after the premier league. he joined washington's dc united in major league soccer in the summer and has been a huge success. when he joined the team they were bottom of the table. but since then they have risen to reach the play—offs. rooney's 12 goals have played a big part in that and he told our sports correspondent natalie pirks that he's adjusted well stateside. it's been good. 0bviously different place to live but it's been great. i've enjoyed it, the family have
6:46 pm
enjoyed it, settled in really well and it's going well on the pitch so i'm enjoying it. are you missing anything about home? what about a decent cup of tea? americans don't do the! yes, the supermarkets have the international isles!|j do the! yes, the supermarkets have the international isles! i have visions of you searching for york city or something! you can get your normal cup of tea and even the small differences like a bar of chocolate ora differences like a bar of chocolate or a packet of crisps, that is a bit different. when you come across one, you have to enjoy it a bit more! what are the biggest lifestyle changes for you being here? what are the biggest lifestyle changes for you being here7m what are the biggest lifestyle changes for you being here? it is a bit more relaxing for us as a family. if you want to go to the supermarket or pop out and get a coffee, it is quite easy to do. at times in england it could be a bit difficult. but not that many recognise you, difficult. but not that many recognise you , or difficult. but not that many recognise you, or they are really
6:47 pm
respectful when they see you. i think that is definitely a big difference. and these are the boxes, presumably where your family sit and watch you. yes, they sit in the second one. it is a good view to see the game and also for the kids to relax while the game is going on which is nice. do you feel a bit more relaxed here? it is not relaxed, there is obviously pressure, pressure to perform and pressure, pressure to perform and pressure for me to come out here and perform. i'm enjoying having that pressure, playing the games, and obviously helping us get to the play—offs. and bringing more success in the next couple of weeks for the team. i'm really enjoying it, the tea m team. i'm really enjoying it, the team are playing really well, playing great football and hopefully that continues. and you can hear more from that interview with wayne rooney on football focus on saturday from midday on bbc one. last year there was a major discovery that changed women's football history. for years it was unclear
6:48 pm
who the first black player was but rigourous research uncovered the name of emma clarke, who made her debut in crouch end back in 1895. tonight there's a celebration of her life at the royal society of arts alongside a campaign for her to be honoured with a blue plaque. sara 0rchard has more. carter to attack on the left and goes for goal and scored! is the kind of attention women's football now enjoys but its history brings us to crouch end where emma clarke, britain boka first black female footballer made a debut in 1895. emma clarke was a pioneer —— britain's first black female footballer. the fact that she did it and was paid to pay a shilling a week and was making a living from football is incredible. this mock-up is the hope for her legacy are
6:49 pm
significant as it is black history month and tonight her life will be celebrated by women in football at english heritage appeal for more women to be nominated for the plaques. the scheme is driven by public nominations but at the moment we are not getting enough for women to be commemorated. we meet at the blue plaque for trina ballerina margot fonteyn. figures are judged on criteria to receive one of the jamaica lasting impact on society, been dead for more than 20 years and the london building in which they lived or worked should still survive. clark's story lacks an existing building. we have alexandra palace up there, it was a historical site where people played football and the wayne bridge —— are the women trained here and there is a lot of reasons this belongs here. women trained here and there is a lot of reasons this belongs harem isa lot of reasons this belongs harem is a problem in this heritage have seen before. it is a challenge although i would say that with the increase in online data, genealogical data, that's another thing, it is easier than it was.
6:50 pm
clark was a central character in the play—off side. happy to perform in because it clark would have performed in. the ball came towards me, my arms too late and my toes to wait it and it in need went in. there are so many women of colour who have been whitewashed from history and forgotten about and who stories have not been told and having a blue plaque for her would bea having a blue plaque for her would be a clear indication that she is fitted and what she achieved. finally, it's skydiving, but without the death—defying leap. this is the indoor skydiving world cup, held in bahrain last weekend. competitors fly through various rounds, showing off their moves against the clock. there are formation and individual events, including my favourite, the solo freestyle, where skydivers perform one minute routines set to music.
