millwall's with the issue head on. millwall's matches against qpr. before tonight, they'd stopped taking the knee. their manager said the club's actions matter. this club is so proactive in this area, it's not about token gestures commits about positive action. i understand the position can i really do, because i think it's become too easy where these shows of support become... taking the knee provides opportunity for people to have a discussion around those issues. i think there is real value to kids sitting at the table and asking their mother or father why are the players taking the knee before games? and having their pa rents before games? and having their parents explain the issues to them and that is where i think real long—lasting generational change comes from. this charity won't stop beyond covid. in 2021, they will keep having conversations. in the fight to show racism the red card, one man isn't going away. joe linsky, bbc news.

time now for some of the days other sport stories and: newcastle united's training ground has reopened after last week's outbreak of covid—19 at the club. their premier league game at aston villa on friday was postponed after a "significant increase" in cases. players were tested yesterday but it's not yet known if saturday's game against west brom will go ahead. a crowd of over 30,000 watched the final t20 international between india and australia in sydney. australia won the match by 12 runs but india had already wrapped up the series beforehand. the test series starts next week. and after his marathon uk championship final defeat to neil robertson in the early hours of monday morning, judd trump was back in action at the scottish 0pen today and the world number one showed no signs of fatigue as he beat switzerland's alexander ursenbacher by four frames to one in milton keynes. after his epic win on sunday night, neil robertson withdrew from the scottish 0pen. if you were up watching you'll know
6:47 pm
the uk championship produced a final to remember — neither robertson norjudd trump were ever more than one frame ahead. it went right down to a decider which started at around quarter to midnight, and 67 minutes later, at five to one in the morning, robertson won it. he spoke afterwards to my colleague sarah mulkerrins. my my brain was really wired after the match and i couldn't get to sleep until probably about five o'clock in the morning. so i woke up about 20 times during the night, sort of, waking up, whether or not i wonder loss, which actually happens a lot with boa rdman and loss, which actually happens a lot with boardman and athletes in general, that after big game, and doing your sleep, you've got the sort of moments where you wake up spontaneously and every time i woke up spontaneously and every time i woke up to spontaneously and every time i woke my spontaneously and every time i woke up to my saw the trophy there to kind of reassure me that i did in fa ct kind of reassure me that i did in fact when, because sony the other night, it looked as though i wouldn't when. and i think towards the end there, it looked like the scene at the end of rocky two, where
6:48 pm
we are both just clinging onto the ropes, and whoever could hold on the longest would win. inexperience can i don't think i everfelt longest would win. inexperience can i don't think i ever felt playing a match before, because they are both very attacking players and like to win frames quite quickly, but, yeah, the pressure and everything that we we re the pressure and everything that we were playing for, and even without the crowd, actually commit felt as though there was a crowd there, just with how important the occasion was. yeah, i couldn't believe it at the end there. in terms of it mentally for you, and you mentioned the type of player you are and how you like to ta ke of player you are and how you like to take control of the frames. you know, how difficult was it for you in that final frame to be able to concentrate and to make those judgements that you have to make? yeah, that's it. i think that, you know, when you are playing frames, i know, when you are playing frames, i know holding your concentration is really important. i think that early on in the frame, i had like, it was only a 20 odd point lead, but it
6:49 pm
made me probably a little bit more cagey than what i wanted to. i didn't really want to let go of that lead wherejudd didn't really want to let go of that lead where judd was didn't really want to let go of that lead wherejudd was maybe a little bit more the aggressor and trying to make these happen, and i wasjust trying to control the frame. so it's quite a different outlook to howl usually play. i guess when it's 9— all, and you put so much effort and in how well a plate, especially during the week, ijust sort of really was desperate to not to lose that frame. you know, i really felt forjudd at the end there as well, because i think, you know, whoever would've lost that match would be struggling to sort of get a good night sleep over the next few weeks because it's one of those matches where maybe you are only part of the few times of an your career, and if you can avoid being on the losing end of them from very good because i've had one of those defeats before, 2006, the world championships, i it took me months to kind of deleted from my brain. so, yeah, it was nice to be on the right end of it.
6:50 pm
a happy man there. after a year out of the ring, anthonyjoshua's preparing to defend his world heavyweight titles against kubrat pulev in london on saturday. joshua's not boxed competitively since he regained his titles in that rematch against andy ruinr last december. speaking to steve bunce, he's also been talking about his chances of taking on tyson fury and why this weekend's fight isn't his ideal choice. the fight i want, you know, anytime anyplace, anywhere, you know, the fight i anyplace, anywhere, you know, the fight i want, i will fight anyone. it's the fights i want, whoever it is, ijust it's the fights i want, whoever it is, i just want to fight. but, it's the fights i want, whoever it is, ijust want to fight. but, yeah, i have to get out of the way, it's at the end of the day. you know, he isa at the end of the day. you know, he is a tricky customer. he's not going to be an easy fight. it's a skin, i'm ata to be an easy fight. it's a skin, i'm at a level now where i can't ta ke i'm at a level now where i can't take easy fights or warm—up fights. it is what it is. ijust got to roll with the punches. i'd rather have a
6:51 pm
nice warm up fight before, because i've been out of the game for a year, but it is what it is. no problem. that's a tough mentality that we have to have anytime, anyplace, let's get it on. antony, we can sit down with you without asking you a question. 0n june ten commit was announced that you would have two fights with tyson furey next year. that was six month ago. where are we? fury has got massive potential, and i was saying earlier, like me you know, management wise, promotional wise, you know, it's up and down. two fights announced, nothing happens. the fights on december the 5th, nothing happens. that's why it's awkward and hard for me to know exactly what i'm doing when it comes to him. you know, imagine i'm now set to fight fury three months away, and into weeks before the fight, he pulls out. this is the type of character i'm dealing with. so i'm just going to bide my time. when he's ready, he knows where i am. i'm keen, i'm a straight shooter, i don't mess around. if he wants the fight, he knows, he knows i will
6:52 pm
fight. he knows i will fight him. and i say the longer he leaves it, the worse it is. so if he wants to come to me now because i'm still developing and learning... exciting news from motor racing's female only challenge. it's going to be part of the british grand pre—weekend. silverstone is one of eight grand prix venues adding the championship to its support billing 2021. it's all part of growing the global reach of the sports, even more important after the 20/20 season was more important after the 20/20 season was cancelled because of the pandemic. i'm joined now season was cancelled because of the pandemic. i'mjoined now by season was cancelled because of the pandemic. i'm joined now by alice powell. thanks for joining pandemic. i'm joined now by alice powell. thanks forjoining us on sports day. how big for you is this personally and for the w series? it's a huge achievement, the w series, something that i'm really excited to be part of for next year. it's only its second year and it's a rty it's only its second year and it's arty on an f1 support built him eight races and a fantastic tap took my calendar including the british grand prix as well. so i can't wait
6:53 pm
to get started. and i saw you say on twitter, you haven't stopped smiling since the dates were announced. as well as silverstone, which circuits are you most looking forward to raising? it's difficult to pick one, to be honest. silverstone, of course, having the fans there, hopefully, you know, once things are all sorted out, will be able to have the fans there next year which will just be incredible for stopping, there are some of the best fans in there are some of the best fans in the world. so it will be great to have them there, but also looking forward to the red bull rings, for spielberg and austria is a tract that i definitely wanted to drive for a long time. racing in front of those incredible dutch fans as well and making the trip across the seas to america to raise in mexico. so it's so difficult to pick one. i'm assuming, alice, you are relishing the 2021 season more than ever, bearing in mind, that the 2020 season was cancelled. what's this year been like for you?” season was cancelled. what's this year been like for you? i hadn't been racing for the past 11—5 years. so actually, i was sort of used to not really racing. so this year has
6:54 pm
not really racing. so this year has not been too bad in terms of that, but now the w series for next year, ijust but now the w series for next year, i just can't wait to get started. alice, it's 1111 years since a female driver took part in an f1 race. how close are we getting to that happening again, do you think?” think we are really close now, and with the likes of w series really promoting females in motorsports and also giving drivers like myself who didn't quite have the funding to continue up the ladder to formula 1, the opportunity to get back out racing again, it's really within touching distance now. alice powell there, for he is not reason, 20/20 was supposed to be her return, but than the w series was shelved because of the pandemic, so we are wishing her the very best for 2021. finally, before we go, here is another sporting return, this time it's surfing, after 17 months out tyler wright scored a perfect 10 in the quarter—finals of the maui pro in hawaii against fellow australian stephanie gilmore.
6:55 pm
the two—time world champion missed most of the 2019 season through a post—viral illness which left her largely bedridden. however on the first day of the 2021 world surf league championship tour — it was as if she'd never been away as she swept aside lakey peterson in her heat before beating the seven—time world champion gilmore in the quarters. that's all from sportsday. you can follow all of tonight's champions league games on five live or the bbc sport website, man united at rb leipzig, chelsea against krasnodar. we'll keep you updated throughout the evening too. but from me and the team goodnight. hello there. there was some sunshine earlier today through the midlands, southeast england and east anglia. it's still quite a cold day, and off a lot colder though where the fog
