10:51 pm
the 20—year—old turk for £18 million. and the champions have confirmed the signing of ben davies from preston. he was out of contract in the summer and will costjust over £1 million with add—ons. all the latest is on the bbc sport website. rob wilson is a football finance expert and says the low levels of transfer activity may not be a one off. i don't think it's very surprising that we have seen such a reduction in spending. i think it's really easy to pinpoint covid is the reason for that. it has put a huge amount of pressure on finances up additionally cash flows with no match state revenue coming in. what i think covid is also done is really unmask the frailty of football's finances and what we are seeing perhaps now notjust a response to covid
10:52 pm
but actually a response to that years and years of overspending. which i think clubs are looking to become much more resilient with their budgeting processes and we are perhaps the manifestations of that in the market now. they have been over spinning for years and years and years, and the debts and leverage they build up has simply been accumulating, but because of their sporting performance has been so good, they haven't really shone a spotlight of what's really going on there. that will naturally have a knock on effect for the rest of the market. they want to be in to sign some of those really big players which then limits the amount of cash that's in the system to be recirculated through lots and lots of other clubs and of course, back again with dominoes, isn't it? as soon as you have one player, you are likely to see number of other players leave is welcome and if you don't push that first domino older, there will be less movement in the market. queens park rangers came from behind to beat watford in the championship. they fell behind to a penalty won by ismaila sarr just after half—time. that was converted by troy deeney. the hornets would have gone third with a win
10:53 pm
but they couldn't hang on. rangers equalised through charlie austin. and then in the final minute of normal time albert adomah made it two—one. qpr move up to seventeenth, while watford drop to fifth. discussions are continuing following events over the weekend of how best to tackle racism online. it comes as the manchester united manager ole gunnar solskjaer�*s called on social media companies to be stronger in tackling online racist abuse. greater manchester police opened an investigation after marcus rashford became the latest player to be targetted following his side's draw with arsenal on saturday. this way of discrimination on social media, we can't do a lot, can we? so we have to work with the platforms, and they have got to be more,
10:54 pm
stronger to make sure that we stop this. the bbc�*s social media and disinformation reporter marianna spring says the big platforms can't necessarily comply. i think that we have to remember that social— i think that we have to remember that social media sites are effectively companies that want to make _ effectively companies that want to make money, and clicks, users, lots of people _ make money, and clicks, users, lots of people wanting to engage in conversation from a those are good for social— conversation from a those are good for social media sites. about reputation that comes with racist abuse _ reputation that comes with racist abuse and — reputation that comes with racist abuse and other forms of disinformation or threats online is obviously— disinformation or threats online is obviously not good for them, but the overatt— obviously not good for them, but the overall aim _ obviously not good for them, but the overall aim of these platforms is to have as _ overall aim of these platforms is to have as many people using them as possible _ have as many people using them as possible if— have as many people using them as possible. if they were to introduce this idea _ possible. if they were to introduce this idea of— possible. if they were to introduce this idea of identification, that would — this idea of identification, that would obviously limit the number of people _ would obviously limit the number of people that make accounts. people often _ people that make accounts. people often run _ people that make accounts. people often run multiple accounts, and that may— often run multiple accounts, and that may not be allowed any more. so ithink— that may not be allowed any more. so i think it _ that may not be allowed any more. so i think it poses an existential threat, — i think it poses an existential threat, i_ i think it poses an existential threat, i guess, for some of the social— threat, i guess, for some of the social media sites, and that might explain _ social media sites, and that might explain in — social media sites, and that might explain in part why they are reluctant— explain in part why they are reluctant to enforce it, along with the fact— reluctant to enforce it, along with the fact that it could be difficult to enforce. it's been reported that the japanese government are planning to extend the state of emergency covering
10:55 pm
tokyo and other regions struggling to contain coronavirus outbreaks by one month until march 7. it would be just [i and half months before the olympics are due to begin. prime minister yoshi—hide suga has said he will make a final decision on the extension after hearing from an expert panel tomorrow. england's cricketers have been allowed out of quarantine in india, after the players who'd arrived from sri lanka returned negative covid—19 test results. they'll be able to train together as a full group for the first time tomorrow, with the opening test starting in chennai on friday. ben stokes, jofra archer and rory burns have already been training, having arrived in india separately, and they could soon be playing in front of fans, with reports that a 50—percent capacity crowd will be allowed in for the second test. we wa nt we want to play in front of crowds,
10:56 pm
that's for sure, but, yeah, obviously commit needs to be safe, and we don't obviously add to, you know, a problem, you know, which is affecting the whole world, so if it's safe and if it's good then great, but, yeah, we would obviously love to play in front of crowds as soon as possible. and that's all the sport for now. hello there. heavy snow is on the way for tuesday. the met office have issued an amber weather warning for this one across parts of northern england, where we're looking at around 10—15 centimetres of snow over the higher ground. it's more than enough to cause transport disruption. some roads will be shut, and we could see some power cuts as well. this area of low pressure, then, these weather fronts are pushing into cold air that's with us across scotland and northern england and will be slow to budge through the course of tuesday. so it's one of these situations where the rain is starting to turn to snow, and that will continue over the next few hours. now, the initial concerns will be across parts of northern england, where we cold be looking at around 3—8 centimetres building in.
10:57 pm
but across some of the hillier areas, you don't have to go too high up for this, we're looking at around 10—15 centimetres. i think sheffield could be one of the places that gets hit pretty hard with this. notice the snow isn'tjust limited to the pennines. across into cumbria, into southern areas of scotland will also see snowfall developing through the day, so we're more likely see some disruption in some of these areas as well. now, funnily enough, away from this band of snow, we've got some sunshine in cold areas of scotland. cold and frosty here. to the south, we've got some thundery ran pushing into the south west, but look how mild this is across these southern areas. temperature 12—14 degrees in cardiff and london. you ain't going to get any snow with that, but further northwards, that's where the cold airjust continues to loiter. as i say, transport disruption is more than likely. i suspect the a57 snake uass will be shot. the m62 could be affected. even parts of the m16 in cumbria and the a a71im in southern scotland. all areas that could see some issues.
10:58 pm
now we are not done with the snow just there because as we go through the night—time, tuesday night into the early part of wednesday, the snow pushes northwards into scotland. was of heavy rain across southern england could bring the risk of localised flooding. as a localised flooding from the rain in north west england as well. wednesday, we've got more snow to come in scotland. perhaps the heaviest migrating north of the central belt, causing some transport disruption here. but it's turning milder across northern england. temperatures about 9 degrees in liverpool and hull. still around double figures, ten degrees or so in london and cardiff. so a mild spell of weather really across southern parts of england, and that means that what's coming next week may well come as something of a rude shock. that's the latest.
