welsh or the belgian games, so he has come back and he broke those coronavirus rules, the rule of six when he attended the parties. that is why initially, he had not taken any part. he's got a slight hamstring issue, we understand, so he will not play any part tonight at all. and he was described as a warrior, a soldier and he played extremely well against belgium, but he will miss tonight snatch because he will miss tonight snatch because he needs to attend his own hearing from the fa after they charged him backin from the fa after they charged him back in may with bedding irregularities, essentially when he moved from spurs to madrid, they alleged that there were a regular betting patterns and he insists that neither he nor any when he is associated with have ever profited from bedding football matches. they said there was something out of my control and another distraction for me to plough through and boy, some good news is that henry kane is

available for tonight. he is starting another match and there we re starting another match and there were some stories around that he was injured and he did not play against the welsh and he came on in the 66th minute on sunday, but garrett southgate said he was not sure where the stories came from because his fitness is not even an issue. he said, we never missed a player, never lost a player ever in a training loading and we pride ourselves on looking after the player. if england were to be denmark tonight, they would still be top of the group with two matches left to play. meanwhile, one of england's matches which had been scheduled for next month now won't go ahead? yes, sadly new zealand were due to come here in november and they've now announced that he will not be coming. a mixture of a lot of the players would have to miss their domestic seasons for a while with a two week quarantine if there were to fly here and back to new zealand. they said for many, it could be financially a real problem for them

to miss some of the football and of course, the commercial flights that simply are not running it will be very difficult for them if they came, they would have to potentially have a much weakened squad. their chances as friendly but in the face belgium and the return fixture. they said they will announce a new opposition in due course. enjoyed the action tonight and sure we will speak to you after the whistle. scotla nd ta ke scotland take on the czech republic gci’oss scotland take on the czech republic across the bbc. now all this month at bbc sport we're celebrating as we mentioned, as well as england, all of the other home nations are also in nations league action this evening. wales are away to bulgaria in sofia, the scene of that racial abuse suffered by england.

northern ireland face norway in oslo, and scotland take on the czech republic at hampden park. now all this month at bbc sport we're celebrating black history month by bringing you some powerful stories from across various sports. today we hear from a rising talent in netball‘s super league. as a child, mary cholhok had to flee war—torn south sudan for uganda — the country she represented last year at the world cup in liverpool. she plays her club netball at loughborough lighting, where it's been a much more challenging 2020. mary's 3—year—old son yasson is back home in uganda, but she last went back to see him injanuary, and because of lockdown and the uncertainty around the netball season, the mother and son are facing up to 18 months apart. daryl hammond reports. iamto i am to rise above challenges, still just 23 but in life, she has had a journey. as a child she fled the war in south sudan and crib in neighbouring uganda. now she's in ( plays in the top flight. but since lester's world cup, everything has changed. she is stuck waiting for the season. not being backed uganda since january and that is where her son is. everyone was so confused and

so son is. everyone was so confused and soi son is. everyone was so confused and so i was, and i was like wow, i'm going to spend six months or whatever without even seeing my child and next time i see him, will be next year after the season. so, it was quite late, a bit of a let down to him because when i come in, we are going to do this and that and there was quite emotional for me as a mother. sometimes, you have to sacrifice something to achieve something bigger than it. so many people will choose to be with their kids and see how they grow, but sometimes you see you need to make bigger decisions for that. she has looked to reach the top of the sports and she was a child. but that is not easy in africa where opportunities are rare and her pa rents a re opportunities are rare and her parents are not convinced. they were really harsh about it. i had to

stink out sometimes and i got a sports scholarship and i had to go somewhere for like year. my degree. only the second person to turn professionalism that ballplayer and despite other young girls —— inspires other young girls to follow in her footsteps. what it's like to be in uganda,. and so many people there do not know if they're still suffering, they got to open their eyes that it could be my vision to really educate them, like, why don't you achieve this, why don't you grow asa you achieve this, why don't you grow as a successful woman, a boss lady rather than just being a woman married to someone. mary has been locked on so far from home and she doesn't think she will go back until nextjuly until

doesn't think she will go back until next july until the doesn't think she will go back until nextjuly until the end of the season. nextjuly until the end of the season. but this playersjust nextjuly until the end of the season. but this players just making history and adversity. even when the obstacles get in her way, she still looks at her target. nowjust before we go we wanted to show you a world's first. two cliff divers have taken their sport to the extreme by becoming the first people to dive in underground caverns. if you haven't got a head for heights you might want to look away. this is constantin popovici diving into the depths of the salina turda. it's one of the oldest saltmines in the world and 120 metres beneath the ground in north west romania. he was joined by four time cliff diving champion rhiannan iffland from australia. the water is so salty it's 70% denser than the sea.

that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. now it's time for a look at the weather. you are watching bbc news. and we will stay with coronavirus as our main news story here. this evening. and the news that a last couple of hours that people in parts of the uk with high rates of covid—i9 will be banned from travelling to wales under plans announced by the first minister. he said that he will go ahead with this proposal and if the prime minister does not impose travel restrictions in england, it is expected that this band will

cover a ll is expected that this band will cover all of northern ireland, england's tier two and tier three and the worst affected areas and the scottish central belt which we knows about the affected areas were. so, let us discuss the proposals on the travel ban and how it might all work that enjoyed by the health minister for whales and hello, good evening. is this a definite, is this absolute concrete that it will come in on friday? we are acting on the basis that the prime minister will have the courtesy of the response to the tier two letters and we expect that there will not be any further response from him. we need to act because there is clearly the travel thatis because there is clearly the travel that is a factor in coronavirus spreading and the publisher people in evidence. we are going to take these measures, not just in evidence. we are going to take these measures, notjust protect whales, but also to protect all parts of the uk from a

high—performance area of the virus. it will mean that i hybrids area and whales, people are already restrictive in travelling to other parts of the uk. we want to be able to work on the reciprocal basis and going ahead and using our own powers to help keep people in wells safe. and will this apply to the whole of wales ? and will this apply to the whole of wales? because there are a few areas that are not affected by your own individual lockdowns and a lower prevalence, would not apply those counties? it is especially important for those counties that do not have local restrictions in place. it is already the law where they have to go to counties of local restrictions. those of a lower prevalence, what we have not needed to act yet, will be particularly protected at least at the very high prevalence of england from travelling in. we're looking at measures that will protect people and endorse it from high risk travel

areas like liverpool, whether the top tier or the extra measures beyond that. this is all about the evidence and public health that will be from the end of august to september continuing and have more strands of coronavirus into wales from travel within and outside. that is the reality of the evidence that we have and we are acting on that to keep people safe and many more difficult choices and this did not really need to be the difficulty that it's presenting if the prime minister had chosen to act in a different way to protect people in england and to act in a collegiate way with the other nations of the uk. and how will this be enforced and policed ? uk. and how will this be enforced and policed? while, the police have done this already in effect. your recalled in the first phase of coronavirus, we have kept local rules in place with guidelines to this. throat of the fire and the fury, we have actually had a very clear message that police enforced

and people were engaged, they were turned away and those people that wa nted turned away and those people that wanted to press on did receive a number of penalty notices. so, the police have already proven that they can police have already proven that they ca n e nfo rce police have already proven that they can enforce the sort of measures. and op people obviously that will already had and family members in wells for half term, for example. they might have a break and over the half terms school holidays. what you see those people? this is a difficult situation for everyone in the world. this is a part of a basket of measures that are introduced to keep people safe. and, i knew that many people are tired and frustrated by the restrictions of coronavirus that it has been led to for some of the virus itself has neither tired or frustrated. to for some of the virus itself has neither tired orfrustrated. we are asking people to carry on behaving an extraordinary way because the threat that we face is truly extraordinary too. to wells on

holiday is not going to be a reasonable excuse to travel, we will publish guidance to get the new rules will publish guidance to get the new rules we get them in place. so when they do have a reason to travel, they can check on the guidance that we will provide on the welsh government website. in the great majority of people in wells understand why we're doing this and supporting it the uk will understand that this is only about protecting people rather than looking to pick a fight on terms of borders or nations. it is actually about protecting people. and for hotel yea rs, protecting people. and for hotel years, business owners might lose business here? well, i am afraid that there are real challenges ahead and we think very carefully about the direct impact on businesses, whether the people are already making choices about whether or not to travel or to stay in different areas. we are looking for a financial package of support, and a partial step forward, but what we do think is that we need there to help businesses and jobs. the businesses

we talk about did not cause the pandemic, was out in a way that will bounce the economy and public health. because this is both an economic crisis, as of the public health crisis and we have to act in a way that helps us to save lives and protect the nhs and that underpins the approach we're taking to keep people safe and also that makes much better since the economy too. a bigger and deeper operate with more deaths would cause much more harm our economy. we must leave it there thank you very much for joining us, thank you all the latest coming up from seven. i will leave you for now. goodbye.
