clearing and so this is how the day and did in east sussex. this is how it looks across the scottish highlands and if you could look at the radar picture shows for the rain has been falling and over the last few hours you can see this stripe of wet weather has been staggering its way south east into these are the places we have soggy weather out there into the southeast and northwest it's dry across the board and as we go through the night we push this further south and for most of us sylvia miles na and distal of the chilli across the front that ceased. we get into tomorrow and have the strip of cloud and patchy rain to contend with. not moving anywhere quickly and perhaps drifting for the north and west as a going through the day. to the north of that much more dry data we have had. a few showers and northwest is you can see from these black airasia will be gusty across the northwestern corner and for most places the wind is not as strong as they have been. though there haven't

having a decent afternoon into ridges run 12 degrees. sunny spells for but to the midlands and wales in the southwest will have bigger cloud eczema outbreaks of rain. east anglia and the southeast to me colder sunny spells. as a go through the evening there red across the southwestern corner is going to pep up southwestern corner is going to pep upa southwestern corner is going to pep up a little bit and will turn heavier and more persistent bout it will really only be the southwestern parts of the uk so your fireworks display is tomorrow night and actually most places should be tried that the similar story for them as well. this area of low pressure will still be spending its wayjust to the western side of the uk and further east more in the way of dry weather. monday shapes up like this and some clout in patchy rain across the western side of scotland. but again today they generally and for the spells of sunshine and look at that 60 degrees on monday pretty mouth the time of year and mild is actually how we some things up for the week ahead. wind and rain at

times but not all the time. that's all for me now. enjoy your evening. hello this is bbc news. the headlines. leicester city players and fans observe a minute's silence to honour the club's chairman and four others who died in a helicopter crash outside the club's stadium a week ago. in bangkok, a week—long buddhist funeral is underway at a royal temple, to honour the billionaire businessman and owner of leicester city football club, vichai srivaddhanaprabha. more than 70 business people have written to the sunday times demanding another referendum on brexit and for a public vote on whether to accept the terms of the uk's departure from the eu. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday with us.

the headlines this evening. leicester's players and staff remember their former chairman in their first match since his death in a helicopter crash. lacazette rescues arsenal as they earn a draw with liverpool. and england's autumn series begins with a win at twickenham with new zealand up next. yes, hello and welcome. the leicester players and staff embraced on the pitch before today's premier league match with cardiff — as theirformer owner, vichai srivaddhanaprabha was remembered by both clubs, a week on from his death in a helicopter crash at the king power stadium. it was the first game

since the crash which killed four others last weekend. goalkeeper kasper schmeical was in tears duirng the minute's silence. many of the players will now fly to thailand for the former chairman's funeral. our reporter eleanor roper is in cardiff. it has been an emotional afternoon here in cardiff. the matches started with a minute's silence which left some players in tears. it was in the 55th minute a goalfrom demarai gray which took leicester up 1—0. after he scored he revealed a top that said "for vichai". jamie vardy said ahead of this match they had been asked if they wanted the game to go ahead. he said yes they al wanted to be here and felt it was really important that they play today and that they wanted to make their chairman proud. we spoke to a few

fans who felt it was important here to represent the club. a few players are on their way to bangkok to thailand to attend the various funeral ceremonies that are now under way there. tuesday tuesday ahead of leicester's next premier league time against burnley this time at the king power stadium. we'll talk more about the match in the moment. let's hearfrom both players —— managers. we wanted to honour our chairman and when this game. i would like to congratulate my players. it was fantastic and outstanding. now is the first step,

we have to continue. what can you say, really? i don't think we will get another day like that, it felt surreal. i can't fault the effort, i thought the effort was there. football seemed insignificant today. demaria grey goal in the sceond half. and there was a huge outpouring of emotion as the entire team celebrated together before running over to their travelling supporters. that saw them hold on for the win as the players paid tribute in teh way they wanted with a win — it was the players who made the decision that the game would go ahead. now they will travel to thailand for vichai's funeral. arsenal drew with liverpool in this

evening's kick off, a superb goal from alexander lacazette cancelling out james milner‘s earlier effort — a result which moves liverpool a point clear at the top of the table. with manchester city so strong whoever losses match could find themselves looking away in the match. high—sta kes themselves looking away in the match. high—stakes meet high pressure and mistakes appeared to come from the officials. this goal ruled offside when replays showed it should have been given. arsenal suffer the same fate but this was more clear—cut. in their away kid liverpool was unfamiliar and it wasn't on likely player who scored for them. virgil van dijk has yet to score and the league oppose more threat than his more prolific colleagues. arsenal enjoyed more possession but it was liverpool who made it count through possession but it was liverpool who made it count throuthames milner. the fact he is ever lost a game he scored and posted the builders with virgilvan dijk scored and posted the builders with virgil van dijk going close again. but arsenal with a different

proposition and a thrilling finite thanks to alex. manchester city will be happy with the jar even though it would take them 2a hours. jose mourinho admitted he was the luckiest manager in the premier league as marcus rashford scored a late goal to ensure his side beat bournemouth 2—1, following a poor first half display. holly hamilton reports. manchester united find themselves in unfamiliar territory on the south coast in mid—table. bournemouth‘s unbeaten start home has propelled them to a unlikely slice pace. and they showed why they been so impressive in the first stages. early dominance was rewarded with this goal. united looking to avoid a fourth defeat of the season, level ten minutes before the break. alexis sanchez scoring his first since in september. a rejuvinated united saw them put

on the pressure in the second half. ashley young's free kick smashed the bar and theyjoin forces to keep the game level. mourhino couldn't believe it. marcus rashford turned 21 this week. he may have came late to the party but he definitely stole the show. holly hamilton, bbc news. top teams don't start as bad as we did. a defensive mistake cannot be the trigger for a chaotic defensive performance for 45 minutes. and i am really upset with that because it is not possible to be the lucky team all the time. it is a result that you don't deserve. tough one for us to take. we felt we produced a good performance in the first half especially when we were dominant and created chances. boyle possibly deserved to get more

than the one goal early lead that we did. possibly deserved to get more than the one goal early lead that we did. manchester united came back and showed that they are a world—class team. we would have loved to put the game bed in the moment when we were dominating. football does not work like that and we know one goal is a slim advantage and they showed their quality in the second half and their subs made a difference. looked like we defended enought to keep them out in the last seconds. newcastle have finally won a match this season. a 1—0 win at stjames' park thanks to ayoze perez. the victory moves them out of the bottom three until at least monday night. when huddersfield play fulham. a much needed boost for rafa benitez. it was important for everyone after ten games.

we went against good team that was doing well and had a lot of confidence. to win the way we did with everybody behind the team playing well with substitutions coming from the bench, i think it was very positive for everyone. west ham beat burnley 11—2 at the london stadium. it was one all at half—time — so a brilliant second half. club—record signing felipe anderson, bought for £112 million, yet to hit top form at west ham with two goals in the second half. javier hernandez adding the gloss with a fourth late on. here's today's results in full. everton beat brighton 3—1. arsenal and liverpool in action. norwich top the championship tonight after a 4—0 win over

sheffield wednesday. sheffield wednesday they move above sheffield united who lost away to nottingham forest. derby are in third after an impressive victory at home to birmingham. bottom of the table ipswich drew at home to preston, in paul lambert‘s first match since being appointed as manager. there were wins for reading and hull, both of whom are in the bottom three. celtic thrashed hearts as second played first in the scottish premiership today — the champions closing the gap to one point, as they completely outclassed their edinburgh opponents. daniel candeias came off the bench to score in the 79th minute with this stunning effort. he was also sent off in extra time after being shown a second yellow card. but it was alfredo morelos with the second goal in extra time to give steven gerrard's side

only their second away league win of the season — they're now five points off the leaders hearts. so celtic with that huge win — they remain one point off the hearts who are top of the table. david turnbull gave motherwell theirfirst premiership home win of the season with a 1—0 victory over dundee while the misery continues for dundee. it's four defeats in a row forjim mcintyre. mason bloomfield gave 10—man hamilton victory over livingston, while stjohnstone beat hibs1—0. to rugby union's autumn internationals, where england beat south africa in the first match of the series — while wales beat scotland in the inaugral doddie weir cup. a lot‘s being made of this and the next three matches to come with the rugby world cup looming next year. patrick gearey was watching. it's been a bad year for england, they were terrible in the six nations. the bad news around eddiejones‘ side, selections and injuries. it was important to getjust a win. the performance still not there just one year from that world cup. england have to play new zealand next week and australia this autumn. it's important for the belief and confidence that they got

off to winning start. picking the posters at twickenham is nearly as tough as picking the team. england's cast of players is currently changing, retired, dropped, injured. less than half of this squad finished the six nations with england. just a year to go to the rugby world cup is not the ideal time to experiment. but experiment they must. so onto twickenham's testing ground came not one but two captains owen ferrell and dylan hartley. as well as being co—skipper ferrell is their kicker. england spent much of the half defending their doormat eventually south africa would find a way through. he spotted it. despite that, england went into the break only two points down but the team talk couldn't wait for the dressing room, something had to change. momentum came from his boot. this carried 60 metres and carried england

and into the lead. south africa snatched it back. again england needed a response. brad shield who had not visited twickenham until yesterday and still hasn't made it as far as the try line. south africa would not crack but england forced enough fractures to give farrell another chance. ahead by one. a fragile lead and a lead with andre pollard. this standing between defeat and victory, relief but not all experiments bring clear results. in cardiff a new trophy for an old hero. the doddie weir cup named after the scottish international battling motor neuron disease. this season wales playing on the green grass of home. a move designed to conserve his energy with tries like this. when he gets going, he and wales... take some stopping. good win for wales.

disappointing for scotland were not travelling to well. the big game comes against australia. they had not beaten them since 2008, they can and that run if they can crack that then they will feel they are really onto something. still one game to come today over in chicago. ireland play italy and had a good record in chicago and they're expected to beat italy. ireland the six nations grand slam champions the team many people feel have the chance of really challenging for the webb ellis trophy in just under a year's time. in the pro1li, ulster survived a late benetton onslaught to snatch a 15—10 victory. second half tries by sean reidy and rob herring werejust enough for them to claim their second away win of the season. benetton left to count the cost of their failure to convert their chances. as ultster moved into second place. right plenty still to come on sportsday including the young rider carrying british hopes in a new sport for tokyo 2020 — freestyle bmx. and with more people turning to racing on simulators, we visit the uk's first electronic esports hub which has

opened in london. let's talk about the world gymnastics championships taking place in doha. alongside me a former european and world champion beth. we have to start with simone biles. 20 world medals. and an incredible routine on the floor. she has had a fantastic championships. took some time out after rio. she's been having an up and down championships but considering she is back in to support less than one year in the competing is absolutely fantastic. the height and difficulty that she is doing with the tumbles and four is one of her favourite piece and you can really see that when she was performing at today.

it was a stunning routine as we see from this. the gold medal there but a bronze for her on the beam which maybe she was not as disappointed about as some of her fans. i think she has had a tough time. at the end of the day we have to remember she has not been back long. she has not done many competitions and she was not disappointed so why are other people disappointed with that result? to still take away six metals from one championships has not been done in over 30 years and it is fantastic. six at medals as beth mentioned there. 0ne bronze, one silver and four gold. let's hearfrom her now. it has been an amazing week especially being back on the big stage again. it's been a long time since i have been such a big competition so i am really proud of myself and excited to go back on. reporter: you make it look so easy but as you mentioned you had not been in training for a full year yet. what has gone into this event? it has been a lot of work especially those times in the gym where you have to really gear down and put up with that and do those routines and sets.

i'm proud with the work i've done in this world championships and hopefully to improve for the next year. she is still 21 years old, 20 championship medals in total. she is the most decorated because she has more golds. incredible. the fact she is so young but i think it's great for our sport. she is not only a well—known name in gymnastics but i think she is a global superstar that can only do good for our sport. another name that you might not know but you may want to see him because he really is somebody who people love watching. he performed so brilliantly — the bars on his speciality, the flying dutchman is his nickname. tell us what is so great about this routine. the releases you see here, the fact he can combine them together, very few gymnasts are able to do that and the execution today was one of the best we have that there are seen. it's been a long—time

since he has stood on top of the podium since 2014. he was pleased to back up there. having only become a dad just a couple of weeks ago. a great few weeks then. gold medal in the bars and a quick mention for dom cunningham british interests at the gymnastics in world changes for britain's stability is first—ever whicheverjob final, and the fall. he was .009 away from picking up a metal. he finished in fourth and he was really disappointed but also really pleased with his performance. i think that will give him confidence going into 2019 in 2020. beth, thank you very much. bmx supercross has been part of the olympics since 2008, but come the next games there'll be a new discipline — freestyle bmx. it's been included to boost tokyo 2020's youth appeal and britain's leading contender isjersey rider alex coleborn. leading contender is jersey rider alex colborn. nick hope reports.

we have never seen anything at the olympics quite like this. riding gives you freedom and outside world and you just do what you love. i love the progression and when the new tricks and when pull it, you're buzzing. there is no otherfeeling. freestyle bmx and amongst a group of new urban events including skateboarding and three on three basketball which will make 0lympic debuts at tokyo 2020. it's an attempt to entice new younger fans to the games. the olympics you probably would not think bmx would ever be in it. but now with it being end, it's pretty insane really. it was not a thing when i started especially for me and for women as well. noq that we have been welcomed fully into the sport along with the guys, i think it is a really good thing. not that we have been welcomed fully into the sport along with the guys, i think it is a really good thing.

riders a judged on style originality and risk, something alex colborn knows plenty about. i have had a few injuries over the years. i knocked my teeth out, broke my hip in 2012 and other little injuries over the years. you overcome them. alex colborn put those struggles behind him by claiming silver at the first ever uci world temperatures last year and he is now targeting even more history by becoming jersey's first ever 0lympic medalists in any sport with freestyle bmx making its debuting tokyo 2020. many people have been to the olympics from jersey so it will be fun for a jersey boy find the five. getting on the podium would be great. winning a medal at next week concept which objects will keep him on track for tokyo 2020. you're watching sportsday — also making the headlines today... champion marc marquez took pole for the malaysia motogp despite crashing during a wet qualifying session at sepang. andrea dovizisio who's aiming to end the season as runner up to the spaniard also suffered

in the wet, ending up fifth on the grid. in triathlon — jonny brownlee finished third in the super mix in mallorca racing on his brother's bike as jonny‘s didn't arrive in time for the race. the younger of the two brothers earned his first super league podium of the season. novak djokovic has progressed through to the finals of the paris masters. he beat roger federer in three sets. he'll meet russia's karen khachanov — who beat the world number eight, dominic thiem in tomorrow's final. by winning a fifth world formula 1 title lewis hamilton, should inspire more youngsters to dream about following him into the sport. but the vast majority will not have the financial backing to get that far along the road, so now an increasing number are turning to racing on simulators. the uk's first electronic esports hub has now opened in london and to see how fast this side of racing is growing mike bushell went along to take the wheel. 0n the fast track to the top, james baldwin won five national karting championships. before taking the first steps onto formula 1, following in the tyre tracks

of lewis hamilton until... he ran out of money. which is why his career rounded the bend and took off in a new direction. usually the guys with talent get the money but not everyone gets notice. esports has its own market and fans and gets a lot of people the opportunity to compete at the highest level even if they are not born and spoon—fed into a very rich family. this sleepy muse in central london is the last place you would expect to take on a motor racing style of the future. this is where they train at one of the uk's first hubs for esports. james is hoping to become a full—time professional realising his racing dream with the veloce team. unlike other sports, you do need to have some skill

and techniques to real drivers and also surprisingly fitness. this is something people don't associate with gaming and i think it is important to know that myself and a lot of other drivers are in the gym three times a week, i have a diet plan, i have to be ready for any race or event. especially when it came to handling the wheel and pedals in the big simulator that many road—racing drivers also use for training. avoid the kerbs they will spin you off. i think you're being a little whimpish with this right now. because it feels so realistic. you do need the skills and technique. ijust went on the gravel, oh, that is only a simulator, you have to remind yourself on that.

the chair is shaking. it is throwing me about. it does feel incredibly realistic. luckily the future of esports is in safer hands than mine including former racing driverjack who switched to managing a team. you just saw the audience grow in this area and the level of competition. you are able to compete globally with hundreds of thousands of people across the world. it sort of blew me away. the audience is predominantly people online watching on their mobiles, tablets, computers, the viewership is now rivalling real sports. it's more engaging for teenagers and young adults playing these games themselves. going forward esports is hoping to recruit more female drivers and more beginners who can sharpen their skills without the danger. but no matter how safe this may be, try telling your brain that there isn't a wall coming at you at 120 mph. that was absolutely terrifying! sorry, it may seem i am overreacting. you totalled the car, my friend. i've written the car off. that is it

on sportsday. well today has been one for reflection. a minute's silence held before all premier league matches ahead of rememberance sunday next weekend. and extra poignance following the tragic events in leicester last saturday. goodnight. trumpet plays. applause good evening. mixed with a out that the saturday night. some dry weather but some rain in places as well. you keep the same sort of mix going into tomorrow for some rain at times. not for all of us. across the country it will be another mild day. things look out there at the moment with a stripe of wet weather at the beginning staggering south eastwards parts of the midlands, nor ayman as

well. northern ireland and scotland here. the sky is clear. it will turn chilly but a quiet night generally. into tomorrow this strip of cloth with rain will sit in place across parts of some central parts of the uk. the rain tapping up a little bit as we get into the afternoon. —— packing up. highs of 13 or 1a degrees. same out as we go into the week. wettest weather in the west. more dry weather further east. this is bbc news, i'm rachel schofield. the headlines at 8pm... leicester city players and fans observe a minute's silence to honour the club's chairman and four others who died in a helicopter crash outside the club's stadium a week ago. we have just come to support the boys because leicester has been through a tough week and we just
