hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines tonight. behind for a fleeting moment... but fabianski's fumble helps record—equalling liverpool move four wins from the title. tyson top of the world... but will it bejoshua next for the new wbc champion... we hearfrom the two men trying to make it happen. and new questions over mo farah's relationship with his banned former coach have been raised in a bbc panorama programme. hello again. the scoreline says something very familiar... a liverpool win. ..

but for m second half minutes they had to contemplate something very different. in the end, sadio mane got the crucial goal in a 3—2 victory over west ham. one that puts them just four away from the premier league title. but the game turned on a fabianski fumble when a first league defeat of the season might have been on the cards. our correspondent katie gornall reports. side by side, but in the premier league, they are poles apart. while liverpool have turned the title and a one horse race, west ham are threatened with relegation and revolt. like balloons and a protest against the club owners. 52 point separated the two sides to kick off, not so much a gap as a goal. that's up not so much a gap as a goal. that's up like balloons. after eight minutes, they made it even bigger. with every possible step stacked against west ham, set pieces gave them the best chance of success.

city upsetting the top. liverpool look to reassert themselves but were frustrated by the fingertips of bobby on ski. west ham level at the break. for them and will get even better. —— fingertips of fabianski. liverpool have yet to drop a point at and liverpool have yet to drop a point atand fail liverpool have yet to drop a point at and fail in this was the script. pablo causing chaos in the area and in the stands. now the pressure was unlivable. —— cost a point at anfield. went to the story slipped away. when a moment to lose your grip. end of the goal was coming, the crowd could sense it. and then saturday or monday was presented with the chance he couldn't miss. —— deciding on my knee. a record equally 18th when in a row from the verbal and while they were pushing closer to many expected, and i think this is that it seems cannot them off course. —— their 18th when in a i’ow off course. —— their 18th when in a row for the verbal and while they we re row for the verbal and while they were pushing closer to many expected, and i think this is that it seems cannot them off —— sadio money. so liverpool now 22 points clear of champions man city and four wins from guaranteeing the title.

as well as matching city's record of top flight wins in a row, they've also equalled their own record own record of 21 successive top flight league victories at home — set in 1972. two people that won't throw even a single punch. or at least they shouldn't. could play the crucial role in determining whether there'll be a unification fight between britain's two heavyweight world champions. the promoters of tyson fury and anthonyjoshua are already trying to get their man the best deal... fresh from winning the wbc belt, tyson fury may instead have to face deontay wilder for a third time if the american triggers a rematch clause in the next 30 days. while anthonyjoshua has a mandatory challenger lined up. so let's hearfrom both eddie hearn. and first fury‘s promoter frank warren. we we re we were trying to make that fight for the last two years and all her and kept saying what's it have to be 1730 in favour of ajay. —— in all eddie hearn kept saying was 7035 top 5050 now. no problem with that. this

is about the box office and the fans. more importantly the fans. they want to see the fight and we will make it happen once we know where it types in the rematch class in which we know where anthony joshua's mandatory fancies are and will make a decision and eddie hearn can spout off as much as he wants us up can spout off as much as he wants us up if he wants to put his fight on in the uk or outside of the usa, he has to deal with us. it is remarkable for britain to even have a world heavyweight champion. but they have two at the same time, and every bill in this sport muh moment for the sport, from our point of view, the fight we want more than anything is the undisputed fight. the person who owes the key to that as tyson fury. if we can get that next, we are absolutely all in on that fight. you have a guy in tyson and i know you have a guy in tyson and i know you have a guy and anthonyjoshua because he sorta called me asking how we make this fight happened. i've already spoken to tyson fury and his advisers and i really believe there is genuine want for

this fight to happen. let's not michael brown or make it about you guys. let's give the fans what they wa nt guys. let's give the fans what they want to see in a moment for the sport in this country that we will never forget. —— let us not muck around. six nations organisers say they're "monitoring" the coronavirus situation "very closely" — with the final two rounds of the tournament potentially under threat. italy is exerpiencing the largest outbreak of the virus in europe. and the weekend's women's match against scotland was postponed. england are due to travel there in the final round of games. meanwhile 0spreys and ulster‘s matches in the pro 1a on saturday have been called off. and in football inter milan's europa league game on thursday will take place behind closed doors at the san siro. kobe bryant's widow is suing the owner of the helicopter which crashed and killed her husband, teenage daughter and nine others. it comes as thousands attended a public memorial at the la la kers staple center where he spent most of his career. vanessa bryant's alleging wrongful death — claming the pilot

was careless and negligent by flying in cloudy conditions and should have aborted the flight. children under 12 have been advised to no longer head footballs during training in england, scotland and northern ireland. the new football association guidelines will also be phased in for kids up to the age of 16 to ‘mitigate against any potential risks'. it's after research by glasgow university showed former players were three and a half times more likely to die from brain disease. the welsh fa are not enforcing the advice yet and are instead waiting on findings from their own review of childrens football later this year. while we don't know exactly the reasons for the field study data, whether it's heading or head injuries, we can assume it is head impact so this is a sensible and pragmatic approach to reduce that overall burden and at the same time improving, continuing to improve, head injury management. now time for some of the other headlines this evening. india will host the archery and shooting events at the 2022 commonwealth games, six months

before the main event in birmingham. india had threatened to boycott the games after shooting was initially excluded. world number one novak djokovic is into the last 16 of the dubai tennis championships. he beat turkey's malek jaziri 6—2, 6—1. and four time tour de france champion chris froome's comeback isn't going to plan at cycling's uae tour. he's three minutes and 46 seconds behind australian caleb ewan who won the second stage. froome is racing for the first time since breaking his leg at the criterium du dauphine last june. defending champions australia have got their first win of the women's t20 world cup — after beating sri lanka by five wickets. it wasn't easy for the hosts by any stretch... with sri lanka making 122 from their 20 overs — with captain chamari atapattu scoring 50. she hit two sixes during that innings — and one might have sailed over the fielders' heads. but not one fan in the crowd... some serious committment

to take the catch. australia were really struggling early on in the run chase... but they eventually reached their target with three balls to spare. india are top of that group after beating bangladesh by 18 runs. they scored 142 for six — but did have a moment to forget in their innings — as deepti sharma and veda krishnamurthy got their communication all wrong. it didn't affect the result though — bangladesh scoring just 124 for eight — two wins from two for india. sir mo farah repeatedly denied to us anti—doping investigators that he received injections of a controversial legal supplement to try to boost his performance ahead of the 2014 london marathon. but interview transcripts obtained by the bbc‘s panorama programme reveal that farah later changed his account to investigators, saying he'd forgotten. the programme also reveals new allegations about mo farah's former coach, alberto salazar, who is now banned from the sport for doping violations. mark daly has this exclusive report.

three, two, one... mo farah's first—ever marathon in 2014. two days earlier, he'd been given injections of a supplement called l—carnitine, which wasn't recorded on his medical notes. injections like this weren't banned as long as they were under the legal limit of 50 millilitres. a year later, mo farah's coach, alberto salazar, was under investigation for doping violations. farah was interviewed by us anti—doping investigators at this hotel for five hours, and he repeatedly denied having had l—carnitine injections before the marathon. if someone said that you were taking l—carnitine injections, are they not telling the truth? definitely not telling the truth, 100%. i've never taken l—carnitine injections at all. are you sure that alberto salazar hasn't recommended that you take l—carnitine injections? no, i've nevertaken l—carnitine injections.

after the interview, mo farah met uk athletics official barry fudge, who had also spoken to usada. mo farah then rushed back in, just as the investigators were packing up. he then changed his account and told them that he had in fact received an l—carnitine injection ahead of the london marathon. no records are kept, and you would ask the question, well, why? clearly, if he's taking medicines to enhance performance, there is ethical questions that that raises. i think this is something that should be looked at in some seriousness. uk athletics and lawyers for mo farah said his injections were well within the allowable limit. mo farah's lawyers added... before the injections were given, e—mails show uk athletics officials were worried whether it would be safe and within the spirit of the sport.

despite this, barry fudge flew to switzerland to collect the supplement from a contact of salazar‘s. i'm shocked, because you kind of go, what is that all about? and you're an employee of uk athletics, so uk athletics, why would you allow one of your staff to do that? uk athletics said... mo farah split from salazar in 2017, but questions about his influence persist. mark daly, bbc news. that's all from sportsday. coming up next on bbc news it's the papers. but from us it's goodbye.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn stevens, the deputy political editor at the daily mail, and polly mackenzie, who's the chief executive of the cross—party think—tank, demos. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. tomorrow's financial times leads on market turmoil caused by the coronavirus — investors are running for cover, it says. the guardian leads on the conviction of harvey weinstein — the hollywood mogulfaces jail after he was found guilty of rape. the daily telegraph gives much of its front page to a shot of the disgraced move producer. it also has the story that britons returning from holiday in italy will be told to self—isolate to reduce the risk of spreading the coronavirus. the i also leads on the downfall of weinstein. it says today's judgement is a vindication of

the me too movement — with campaigners hailing a "new era ofjustice" for victims. "arrogance of a munster" is the way the daily mail reports the weinstein case. the paper also has the story of a suspected murder and suicide at a cottage where boris johnson lived as a child. and tomorrow's times says that weinstein could face up to 29 years behind bars — calling his conviction a "watershed" for abuse victims. let us have a closer look at some of these. we will start with the daily telegraph. the striking image, polly, of harvey weinstein straight on. weinstein guilty. yes. harvey weinstein has been found guilty of two of the counts of sexual assault and rape that he was up for. some of the other acts he was found not guilty but it really is a watershed to see the most powerful man in the

hollywood just a few years ago, somebody who only a few weeks ago was talking about making a comeback. he still is protesting his innocence. and his lawyers say he will appeal, but at the moment he is absolutely a convicted rapist and faces a lengthy prison sentence and i think faces a lengthy prison sentence and ithinka faces a lengthy prison sentence and i think a lot of people who have been victimized by powerful men, most exclusively men over the last decade, will take heart from this because the women who testify and the women who came forward have been through hell. they have been bullied and accused of lying, and harassed in the media. and they've had their day in the court and have been proved successful. john, do you think it will encourage others?|j hope think it will encourage others?” hope so. and you you think the me too movement started out of the allegations against harvey weinstein in 2017. a couple years ago. in some ways, i feel that things

in 2017. a couple years ago. in some ways, ifeel that things have changed a lot since then but in other ways, we all know people, powerful people, within westminster who are still whispers about them, people know that their reputations are bad and we know they have done bad things but they still manage to get away with it. so if some people who have suffered see this and see these victims were very brave and came forward, they make sacrifices to speak out against this awful man who can only be described as a munster, if they take courage from this and who are willing to come out to stop other people, they can only bea to stop other people, they can only be a good thing. do you think that is likely? you say that you both know of them i don't know if you know of them i don't know if you know that since a reputation. there isa know that since a reputation. there is a sense of powerful people in business and the media and and westminster of a sense that not perhaps that they are as harvey weinstein is don getty of raping people, but it is that sense of abusing power. —— found guilty of

raping people. being intrusive
