outnumbered the good, then she would end her life, tributes have been paid to the paralympic champion marieka vervoort. it's another champions league night, chelsea are already in action. in amsterdam, it is goalless right 110w. liverpool are also away tonight, mo salah is set to return against the belgian champions genk. also coming up in the programme: and the prince and prop forwards, wales have a royal visitor ahead of their world cup semifinal in japan. good evening, we'll look ahead to all tonight's european football in just a moment but we are going to start this evening with the news that paralympic champion marieke vervoort

has ended her life through euthanasia, she was 40. the belgian wheelchair racer had an incurable degenerative muscle disease, and she lived in constant pain, seizures and paralysis in her legs and severely limited her ability to sleep, she'd lived with the condition from the age of 14, despite that she triumphed in the 100 metres at the london paralympics in 2012 and also competed at the following games in rio in 2016. that was also when she spoke to the bbc in an emotional interview about her life and her decision to end it when the time was right. this morning when the nurse came for helping to wash and dress me everything was so painful, when i talk about real pain than i say that you have a lot of pain that you lose consciousness.

sometimes it's really difficult because my good days are getting smaller and smaller, more and more bad days and then the days that makes it really difficult and when the time comes and i have on the bad days then i think i have really good reason. when you are sure that you will have a soft beautiful death and you can do it with the people that you can do it with the people that you want that stay with you and it's

getting a lot of rest and gives a good feeling and that's why i think i'm still here, it gives a feeling of ease and feeling of rest on my body that i can choose by myself how fari body that i can choose by myself how far i will go. british paralympian kadeena cox spoke to the bbc earlier about vervoort‘s death. it is hard being a paralympic sport because we've all got our own struggles but you don't want anyone to go away from this point and lose their life i think within this country it's so different because we are not allowed to do that so it's quite alien for us to understand that but maybe for her it's quite a normal thing and it was the right thing for her to do. it was at the rio paralympics three years ago, that vervoort told the world's media that she intended to end her own life when "the bad days outnumbered the good". 0ur reporter mani djazmi was there.

it was an extraordinary press conference, it was in the same building as the swimming pool and while there were screams ofjoy and encouragement in the pool, in this i’ooiti encouragement in the pool, in this room down in the basement she was telling the world why she wanted to die. and she says every paralympic and has their hardships —— hardships to overcome but in the environment of the paralympics the paradigm beings are celebrated as superheroes by many people but she lay bare the stark reality of what life is like to live with chronic disability away from the adulation away from competition. the pain, agony, the fix, that the shares, she made that they are but she did it in a calm clear way which left everyone in the

i’ooiti clear way which left everyone in the room feeling nothing but admiration for her. of course as you say paradigm 0lympians are allotted for what they do this by disability and in the case but in the latest was so raw because she was admitting defeat that she was not going to overcome this illness, what legacy do you think she needs to sports in general? in a way she was not admitting defeat. she was taking control of her life and controlled overnight is something that many disabled people don't have. for her, i don't think it was a big decision to decide to die, i think the bravery was living with everything she did live with and quite frankly never mind competing on the track but how did she even exist. she did notjust exist. this is why i think

this state as a champion go so far beyond this point because she did notjust exist, she lived and in the end, she had complete control over dying and she did it on her own terms. she has died at the age of 40, a former paralympic champion. champions league football continues this evening, there were big wins for spurs and manchester city last night, we'll see how cheslea and liverpool get on this evening, both are away and chelsea match against ajax is just approaching half—time in amsterdam still goalless in amsterdam, pretty young side could take on the lassies and semifinalists. they had the best ofa and semifinalists. they had the best of a pretty exciting for us so far. they thought they had scored with quincy but that was it ruled out for

offside made a video assistant referee. it still goalless there. mo salah could return from injury for liverpool against genk in the champions league tonight. he trained with the squad yesterday after recovering from am ankle problem. liverpool are second in group e, their belgian opponents bottom with one point but they got that point against leaders napoli. we don't want to make things bigger than they are but they play good football and could be playing against company, they had big chances but they play good football, it's a brief team and they became the last year champion in the best trick is not easy, they lost a couple of players but they found others and they are a good team. so we just have to be here with the right mindset and for us it's an intense period, some of my players have paid 17 games at half a season in germany with international games so in germany with international games so it's no problem. we are not tired at all. that evening to you stephen.

0bviously liverpool's perfect record that slipped up at old trafford last weekend, they should be too strong for the belgians you would've thought. yes, i think so when you look at the belgian league they placed sixth in the league, they ripple over the weekend against manchester united which is like a derby for them the biggest game of united states and at the moment as well so i think liverpool will make some changes tonight rest and expect them to. they are sitting very, very pretty at the top of the league aren't they stephen? by the use and expect more to come from liverpool, they are not quite as thrilling as perhaps a blu stew. now, if we think how fluent they were a couple years

ago, they were unbelievable to watch. they scored a lot of goals but conceded a lot this season we are seeing a different side to them, are seeing a different side to them, a different mentality committee go into games where people are sitting at making difficult but they're still trying to find a way to win games and that is a sign of strength —— championship and that's what the difference is the with liverpool, they know they can't go on and blow everything out of the water like they did a couple years ago and conceived goals. that's what liverpool are trying to do this season liverpool are trying to do this season and trying to be tough to play against them so far they're sitting pretty at the top of the league but there is a long way to go. commentary of tonight's game is on 5live. liverpool's game at genk gets under way at 8pm, while you can also listen to full commentary of chelsea's game in amsterdam right now. let's have a look at some of the day's other headlines. ireland's hopes of playing at next

year's t20 world cup have suffered a setback after they lost to canada by 12 runs in abu dhabi. ireland have now lost two of their four matches so far in the qualification tournament that's being hosted in the uae. rory mcilroy has confirmed that he'll represent ireland at next year's olympics in tokyo. the four—time major winner from northern ireland represented ireland through his youth, but could have been part of team gb. dan evans has been knocked out of the swiss indoors tournament in basel. the new british number one lost in straight sets to the american frances tiafoe who will now face stan wawrinka in the next round. semi—finals weekend is drawing closer at the rugby world cup injapan. the welsh team met prince charles today ahead of their match against south africa on sunday. his royal highness attended a training session in tokyo and our sports correspondent andy swiss was there.

wea rers have had wearers have had a special visits are at their training camp here today. prince charles who has been here in tokyo for the interment ceremony of the new emperor, that happened yesterday but today he met up happened yesterday but today he met up with the wail of players, first of all he met warren gatland, the coach and captain, allan lamb of all he met warren gatland, the coach and captain, allan lameones as well before meeting up with the rest of the whales prayers, he was presented with a signed rugby shirt by the whales squad after receiving that prince charles said he wasn't sure that prayer would make everyone proud. he went to present one of the players with his rugby world cup because he has just arrived out here as an injury replacement so that's what a proud moment for him. of course we have both of his sons very keen and rugby fans, william is a patron of the w that allows rugby union there as harry is a patron of

the english rfu and he and the rest of the wealth players seem to enjoy themselves today. england are getting ready to face the all blacks on saturday. still to come on sportsday... the unlikely champions, we hear from the toronto raptors head coach, who cut his teeth in the uk. and back to school: the 15—year—old is studying for his gcses, but he's also just made his debut in the football league. last night, did not get home until late, it's been surreal really. the 115th world series is under way in major league baseball and the washington nationals have gone 1—up in the best of seven championship showdown against the houston astros. let's head live to houston now and speak to our reporter seth bennett, we're a few hours away from game two seth, it was a great start for the nationals who are making

their debut in the world series and recent history has shown that whoever wins game one usually goes on to win it. who stood out from game one? absolutely crucial to get that first victory on the board if you like and that's exactly what washington did. they had over the week while houston we re they had over the week while houston were busy fighting with the new york yankees to reach the world series, washington were already there, they can washington were already there, they ca n wrestle washington were already there, they can wrestle their parents and get them ready but it was not the perfect start. it was a problem for washington in the first innings they found themselves behind yuri coryell hitting a fine shot to the tent —— centre field and that gave the opportunity for a couple of runs to score and is exactly to start the study would have wanted. it was an orange stadium and allowed stadium as well and it gave that opportunity to really move forward but i've got

to really move forward but i've got to be honest, washington were brilliant the way they fought back and found a way to get back into the game and eventually take it 5—4 and ta ke game and eventually take it 5—4 and take that crucial one—game lead down into the second run. anybody else stand out to put a marker down for the rest of this series?” stand out to put a marker down for the rest of this series? i think there one name on the lips of everybody in that part of the world, he is not even 21 that she could not celebrate with a beer last night but he managed to hit a home run. he was absolutely terrific in the way that he approached every single at—bat and he managed to get that home run and he managed to get that home run and he managed to get that home run and he became one ofjust for under 21—year—olds that hit a home run in a world series and he also hit a double as well to give them that vital push they needed and that he was somebody that showed he had so much more than people anticipated coming in and he's going to be a superstar for the future. it was a

very impressive performance despite who not quite being at their best to have set down a marker for what they could achieve in this series. what of their players even saying he was going to take kids back home with him to bed last night to try to get a little bit of luck getting into game to and i don't know whether that's taking it a bit to car —— far. many thanks indeed. the nba is under way with defending champions the toronto raptors getting off to a winning start against the pelicans last night. last season they became the first canadian side to win the championship. their coach, nick nurse began his career even further afield. he's been speaking to our sports correspondent katie gornall.

it's been a wild ride for the toronto raptors, even more so for their coach. this was in canada celebrated last summer as he delivered the biggest prize in basketball in his first season in the nba. it was the pinnacle of a mere 30 beer —— 30 year coaching career that covered some miles and has its roots in britain. those things i was putting out in the finals those meetings i was using backin finals those meetings i was using back in 95, 96 in the british basketball league so it was going to come full circle and a similar way doing the same things at derby, but it was different time, different player, different skill level but very similar, basketball is basketball. british basketball fans remember him well. he spent 11 years in the lead to finishing on a high rate that brighton bears. he brought success to rate that brighton bears. he brought su ccess to every rate that brighton bears. he brought success to every club he coached. a trophies were lifted on a journey that started when he was a fresh

face player coach straight out of college. i think i first went to england as a 22—year—old and i was coaching that derby rams at the time asa coaching that derby rams at the time as a head coach and i wasjust trying to work my craft and figure out if i was any good at it and it was a kind of low—budget situation, low—budget team and i remember i was not old enough to drive the team than semi stacking centre had to drive the van and i sat on the passenger side and i remember the minibus and breaking down out in the middle of the country one time and wondering where am i and what the heck am i doing here and all those things. life has since changed dramatically. last year in a series of incredible victories saw his toronto raptors secure their first nba championship. yet in a lead to bursting with international talents,

british success stories are few and far between. it is a tremendous well the right —— where the whites point it seems like the uk is missing out on it. he still seems to be an infrastructure problem of enough kids having a place to
