points that would lift them into those all important play off places. local derby matches can weighted down with history, but none more so than this one between nottingham forest and derby county. thanked by the fact that their best years are in the past, and in both cases, given to them by that man brian clough. you have got two managers trying to motivate a new group of players to embrace all of that. frank lampard will do it by tapping into his recent playing experience. he knows what it means to be part of a much of this intensity. as for the new man in charge at the city ground, martin o'neill, he was a big pa rt ground, martin o'neill, he was a big part of those glory days. it isn't just another game. this is a derby game that means a lot to fans, and a lot to players, and a lot to managers. this is notjust another game. and i haven't described it like that ever in my time, and i don't intend to start now. it has to be big for us, we have to feel that. that is what derbies are all about,
6:52 pm
andi that is what derbies are all about, and i felt it from the minute that we took the job, my father made very clear to me we took the job, my father made very clearto me in we took the job, my father made very clear to me in and around the town. yeah, we have to. in the context of where we are in the lake and how important it is for us as a few points up forgrabs, important it is for us as a few points up for grabs, we have to do everything. you cannot hide away from the fact that this game has something extra. the the pastors are very well, but for fans, it is about the here and now. there is a on this evening, because both of these cops have their eyes on the championship and promotion to the premier league. derby county are closer, but defeat tonight would not be fatal. there is may be a bit more on it for nottingham forest. defeat this evening for them and it really does begin to look a very long way away indeed. whatever happens, it will be intense. the sacking of claude puel as leicester manager has prompted plety of debate over who will come in to replace him. with brendan rodgers, rafa benitez and roberto martinez three names in the frame. jane lewis reports.
6:53 pm
in relaxed mood on the training ground, despite renewed speculation over his celtic future. it is odsonne edouard to take it it himself. that is magnificent! brendan rodgers's move to —— link to a mate with leicester city, certainly did not have any effect on the pledge yesterday. and according to wa nt the pledge yesterday. and according to want today, it will not have as they prepare for tynecastle.|j to want today, it will not have as they prepare for tynecastle. i think if you have a top manager, there will always be speculation when jobs come up, but obviously, we would love him to be here. we have got a group of furs that are shown how focused they are over the last two yea rs focused they are over the last two years and what they are capable of, so years and what they are capable of, sol years and what they are capable of, so i think we are alljust coming in, and we willjust be as focused as normal, and go on to do the best for the club as always. it won't really distract us from a job. no distractions, and according to these two former old firm captains,
6:54 pm
leicester city should also be a no—go for rogers. leicester city should also be a no-go for rogers. i don't see why brendan would not continue its quest for glory at celtic. he has won seven trophies since she has been there, why not go and when another seven? i would have thought that would be his focus. as far as you mentioned about hitting a ceiling, no, ithink mentioned about hitting a ceiling, no, i think the challenge is always there, season an aunt out for celtic to win competitions, and brendan rodgers and celtic are a great fit. three of the premier league is obviously a fantastically, and i think most players of managers want to be there but for brendan rodgers to be there but for brendan rodgers to be there but for brendan rodgers to be at celtic, which is an unbelievable football club, playing in europe need an anti—red, winning trophies, there is a massive attraction. i think, trophies, there is a massive attraction. ithink, if trophies, there is a massive attraction. i think, if you are asking me, ithink attraction. i think, if you are asking me, i think the celticjob is asking me, i think the celticjob is a biggerjob than the leicesterjob. and whether he stays or not, one thing is for certain, while his
6:55 pm
success at celtic continues, so to such speculation. and as we know the great and good of hollywood were recognised at the oscars last night, and well we thought this perfromance was unmissable. this is canterbury footballer mobolaji dawodu, who showed up late for his team's match. by way of punishment, he had to sing in front of his team mates. and it's fair to say he rose to the occasion. forget bradley cooper and lady gaga. a star is born here in the heart of the salters lane stadium changing rooms. give that man a gong! that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening.
6:56 pm
let's get more on the labour party announcement that it will support or put forward an amendment on a public vote to prevent a damaging tory brexit being first on the country. jeremy corbyn is giving details at a meeting of the parliamentary labour party at westminster. speaking to hugh edwardsjust party at westminster. speaking to hugh edwards just before that meeting, halladay ben said his pa rty‘s meeting, halladay ben said his party's leadership appears to have made a logical conclusion based on a lack of progress. if we are going to be told that labour will be backing a second referendum, then this is clearly, a very, very significant moment indeed, because we are at a time of crisis in the country. the prime minister continues to put up bring herjob back. we have no idea what she is actually seeking from the european union, whether it will be enough to win the support of our backbenchers, and moreover, we could leave with no deal stop and
6:57 pm
therefore the number one priority for all of us is to ensure that no deal is taken off the table, and thatis deal is taken off the table, and that is the purpose of yvette coopens that is the purpose of yvette cooper's amendment, that we will come to vote on wednesday. but even if you buy some time by extending article 50, the question is, what is it for? and if parliament remains deadlocked, and i say this as someone who has not wanted a second referendum so far, but i do acknowledge is that the only way to resolve it is to go back to the british people, and ifjeremy corbyn is about to make that announcement, lam sure is about to make that announcement, i am sure it will be welcome in the labour party by the many members who support this debt. go back to the british people. and i suppose lots of people would then say come up with what? i presume... my collea g u es with what? i presume... my colleagues put forward a proposal in which the prime minister's deal would go through parliament, but its implementation would be subject to a
6:58 pm
vote by the british people. i think, under that scenario, the vote would be, if you want to live with the deal the prime minister has negotiated, you vote for that, and if you reject that, then united kingdom will be remaining in the european union, because the prime minister's deal is the only one that has been negotiated, even though it has been negotiated, even though it has been negotiated, even though it has been overwhelmingly rejected by the house of commons. so, i suppose that would allow the prime of such a bitter duel to the public, and she can continue the case that she has, that she thinks it is a good deal. those who think it is a bad deal, full of uncertainty about the future, and you look at the economic damage we are already seeing, even before brexit happens, and no deal would make it much worse, then the public would have the opportunity to say, yep. public would have the opportunity to say, yep, that is what we had in mind can be voted by a narrow margin to leave, or, you know what, on balance, we don't think that leaving a such a good idea after all. but it
6:59 pm
would then be in the people's hands in the circumstances. after the record—breaking want today, a chilly night. very continental right now the weather, warm afternoons and a dramatic drop in even down to single figures. by the early hours of tuesday morning in many parts outside of town, it will be close to freezing or below. so, a touch of frost on the bid tomorrow at least for some of us. in city centres, i expect it will be around about one, two, three degrees. there is no reason why tomorrow, the temperatures won't be very similar to what we have today, give or take very similar to what we have today, give ortakea very similar to what we have today, give or take a degree here and there. again, the mid, high teens widely across the uk, and one or two spots could nudge up to around about 20 celsius, which is what we got to today. on wednesday, anotherfine day, and then slowly towards the end of the route, it looks as though it
7:00 pm
is going to cool off. jeremy corbyn says he will support calls for a people's thought if the government reject his plan for a future relationship with the eu. but does it help the prime minister? very soon, the brexiteers could be faced with a stark choice. her deal, delay, a second referendum, perhaps no brexit at all? president trump is airborne on his way to north korea. and all options on the table after a weekend of violence in venezuela.
