in the league this year. moments into the second half, trent alexander—arnold made it 2—0 after hugo lloris could only parry sadio mane's shot. that sprung the home side back into life, as pierre emile—hojberg scored the goal of the game with this strike from outside the area. mo salah then had a goal ruled out for a handball in the build—up before mane restored liverpool's two—goal advantage. victory movesjurgen klopp's side back above spurs, four points behind league leaders manchester city, having played a game more. manchester united have condemned the racist abuse directed at their players on social media following last night's defeat to sheffield united at old trafford. the winning goal was deflected off axel tuanzebe, who went on to be substituted in the 83rd minute after starting his first premier league game of the season. abuse was aimed at him and anthony martial on their instagram accounts, with a number of users posting racist comments and symbols on old photos. in a statement, manchester united said...

that's a position the former newcastle goalkeeper shaka hislop, who's now honourary president of show racism the red card, agrees with. i was involved in a roundtable earlier this week with the department of culture, media and sport about government's own responsibility towards dealing and confronting social media companies and the abuse that's allowed to fester on their platforms. just as we link arms and have linked arms over 25 years in dealing with these issues, i think the moment calls for exactly that same approach and resolve even more today. cristiano ronaldo is being

investigated by italian police over a trip he allegedly took to celebrate his girlfriend's birthday. thejuventus striker and five—time ballon d'or—winner is accused of breaking covid—19 rules by travelling to a ski resort. under current rules in italy, travel between restricted areas is forbidden unless for work or for travelling to a second home. organisers of the tokyo olympics have said that staging the games without crowds is being considered. yesterday, the ioc president, thomas bach, dismissed speculation that the olympics could be postponed again or moved to another city. however, he did confirm that keeping the games in tokyo behind closed doors is a possibility. katie shanahan reports. despite recent polls indicating a majority of the japanese public feel postponing or cancelling the tokyo olympics would be preferable, the local organising committee have reiterated the stance of the ioc, saying everyone is pushing in the same direction to start the games on the 23rd ofjuly. translation: after talking i

with everyone and asking them about their thoughts, no one from anywhere raised questions or objections, and everyone wants to quickly make the tokyo games a success. there was a proposal to have a meeting in february with japanese ministries, the tokyo governor, the olympic organising committee and mr bach. tokyo is one of severaljapanese regions under a state of emergency and with restrictions. and an event scheduled for march is moved back to may. but with israel, denmark and belgium among the nation saying they will vaccinate competitors before the games, hope is rising that there will be some sort of normality comejuly. there will not be a lot of people in the olympic village and, like, right after you finish the competition, you go home. so i don't think there's anything to worry about because everything will be planned and it will be safe. one national olympic committee contacted by the bbc also expressed its solidarity
11:54 pm
with the ioc... the message is one of solidarity, and in whatever form they may take, the olympic games remain very much on the sporting calendar for 2021. katie shanahan, bbc news. next to cricket, where kagiso rabada has taken his 200th test wicket, but south africa suffered a late mini—collapse on the third day of the first test against pakistan in karachi. rabada took the wicket of hasan ali to become the third—fastest south african to reach 200. pakistan all out for 378 in the end. but south africa stumbled late on, losing three wickets, including aiden markram, who'd shared a 127—run partnership with rassie van der dussen.

they closed play 187—4, a lead of 29 runs. world number onejudd trump is through to the quarterfinals of the german masters snooker after beating joe perry 5—3. perry had led 3—2 at one stage and was close to taking the match into a decider at 4—4, but trump produced a clearance of 58, finishing with this black to set up a quarterfinal against ding junhui. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. we've seen quite a lot of rain recently, but it's been very mild for the time of year. these winds coming in from the south—west during thursday allow temperatures to nudge up to 14 celsius in pershore in worcestershire, so this is the warmest day of this month so far. now, low pressure's been responsible for bringing in a lot of rain at times, but the cold air has been looming across the northern half of scotland. so, here, we've seen quite a bit of snow to all levels. friday starts unsettled, rain, sleet and snow in the north, lots of showers in the south. but as a ridge of high pressure
11:56 pm
builds in, it looks like it'll be an improving sort of afternoon with the rain petering out in the north, the showers easing, perhaps a little brightness around. and again, mild—ish in the south, cold air in the north, which will be seeping southwards as we head on into the weekend. so colderfor all, including southern areas, and we'll see a mixture of rain, sleet and snow, too. now, you can see the extent of the cold air mass as we head on into saturday. to the south—west of the country, a new area of low pressure will be trying to push up against it. that means the band of rain will start to turn to snow. a bit of uncertainty to this. you'll have to stay tuned to the forecast, but at the moment, it's looking like parts of northern ireland, wales, through the midlands, probably the south pennines and into east anglia could see a mixture of sleet and snow, certainly some accumulations over the welsh hills. to the very far south west, it could be all of rain, because here we're just holding onto the dregs of the milder air there. but elsewhere, as you can see, much colder and plenty of sunshine in the north and the east. that area of low pressure then slips away into the near continent.
11:57 pm
a ridge of high pressure with light winds builds in behind, so a very cold start to sunday with some ice. and then another area of low pressure starts to move in, so it's almost a repeat performance for part two of the weekend. cold, frosty, icy start, lots of sunshine in the north and the east. for northern ireland into parts of wales, the midlands and the south, south west, a mixture of rain, sleet and snow which could cause some disruption. a colder day to come for all areas on sunday, including the far south west. now, an area of low pressure then dives south—eastwards again into the near continent, but we do see a legacy of cloud, a weak area of low pressure around, which will bring quite a cloudy day we think on monday. outbreaks of rain associated with this weak low, certainly for northern ireland, pushing into parts of northern england, wales and scotland. and again, because the air�*s still cold, there'll be mixture of sleet and snow, certainly to the high ground, maybe even down to lower levels in places. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, we start to see a change again. a bigger area of low pressure moves in. that'll bring some milder air, but some pretty wet weather to the whole country throughout the day. so a bit of an atrocious day, i think. as the rain bumps into that colder air in the north,
11:58 pm
we're likely to see some snow to all levels, certainly across scotland. but it will be turning milder for northern ireland, for much of england and wales. staying cold, though, across the north. now, the jet stream for the rest of the week will be pretty undulating. this is why we're going to see areas of low pressure constantly moving in from the atlantic. a fairly strong jet, that is. this area of low pressure towards the end of the week will bring further wet and windy weather, but it'll start to move away and we'll start to see higher pressure building in we think by the end of the week across scandinavia. and what that'll do is allow much colder air to start to seep its way southwards and westwards across the uk, so it could be turning much colder by the end of next week. so, this upcoming week, then, after a cold weekend, it will be turning less cold thanks to low pressure moving off the atlantic, bringing some wet and windy weather at times. a bit of snow on the hills in the north, and then there's an indication perhaps of it turning much colder again by the end of the week.
