and we have to understand and see now that not only is northern irish peaceis now that not only is northern irish peace is still quite fragile still and we must be mindful of that and politicians must be mindful of that, but we are also seen that the trade deal itself is very fragile. and in order to try to minimise some of the friction both in terms of trade and in terms of the social fabric of northern ireland, we are seeing michael gove now asking for more grace periods, i:e., longerto michael gove now asking for more grace periods, i:e., longer to try to let businesses deal with things like sps checks and all those checks on your fresh foods and farming exports. whether or not the eu is going to be receptive to that is going to be receptive to that is going to be another issue but i think given the climate at the moment around that decision on article 16, it would make political sense for them to be very sensitive here. , , ., , ., here. less and where we began with ca tain sir here. less and where we began with captain sir tom _ here. less and where we began with captain sir tom looking _ here. less and where we began with captain sir tom looking at _ here. less and where we began with captain sir tom looking at our- here. less and where we began with captain sir tom looking at our final. captain sir tom looking at ourfinal newspaper the sun which simply says, captain marvel. miatta, we have to replace him. who's going replace him? i replace him. who's going replace him? ~ , , ,

hello i am sir mclarens of the bbc sport centre. —— sarah mulkerrins. it's been quite the night of football — manchester united won 9—0 against southampton at old trafford, equalling the biggest wins in premier league history. it began badly for southampton. inside two minutes of his first start for the club alexandre jankewitz was sent off for this challenge on scott mctominay. and they never recovered. mctominay did though and got the sixth goal of the night. the saints lost another man to a red card before the end and the nine men conceded a ninth in the final moments, danieljames with the record equalling goal and taking his team level on points with leaders manchester city. sheffield united came from behind to win 2—1 at home to west brom, they're now only one point behind their relegation rivals. west brom started the evening four points above the blades at the bottom of the premier league table, and took the lead through matt phillips. but sheffield united fought back in the second half, chris basham eventually set up

youngsterjayden bogle to get them back on level terms. and the comeback was completed by veteran striker billy sharp — united have now won three games out of their last five, after failing to win in their first 17 premier league games. better managers than me has set up bout my team that we are alive and kicking and fighting and we are having a go and we have had a go tonight and we will have to have more of a go in the next 16 games. i will not stand here and say all of a sudden we are in a huge charge, how can we be in this division? but we are having a go, and if we make it difficult for the teams above, then let's do that and see where it takes us. most of these players haven't played at this _ most of these players haven't played at this level before. so, what they are finding — at this level before. so, what they are finding out is that there is no time _ are finding out is that there is no time you — are finding out is that there is no

premier league games, arsenal keeper bernd leno was later sent off for handball. in scotland celtic won 4—0 at kilmarnock. two goals from odsonne edouard were the key to victory. it brings celtic within 20 points of rangers with a game in hand. there were also win for wins for livingtson at aberdeen and hibs at st mirren. —— also wins for livingston. the government discussed the issue of head injuries in sport today with the culture secretary oliver dowden meeting several campaigners and former players who've been affected — like the ex—tottenham midfielder ryan mason, who was forced to retire because of a head injury. the number of former footballers being diagnosed with dementia is causing concern throughout the game — and aston villa manager dean smith says its something that needs looking into. i lost my father, obviously, down to dementia, so you're always thinking, myself and my brother, whether we might suffer
10:55 pm
from that, as well. there have been no signs, so thankfully we are very good. it is something that is in the forefront of our minds, that's for sure. yes, i've headed a lot of footballs, as well, so there is a worry and, along with the medical world, we are looking into it and we will try to diminish it slightly where we can. this year's six nations will go ahead as planned after france's sports minister said quarantine restrictions would be eased for the tournament. it kicks off on saturday with france hosting italy in paris. the government there has confirmed that uk teams travelling to france, or the french team re—entering, will be exempt from a seven—day quarantine period. cricket south africa have reacted angrily to australia's decision to pull out of their tour there next month, due to what they described as an "unacceptable" level of risk to their players. they cited the new strain of coronavirus
10:56 pm
spreading in the country. they were due to play three tests as part of the world test championship but cricket australia said it had become clear that travelling to south africa was not safe at this time. the south africans released a statement saying they were "immensely disappointed" and they had offered australia unprecedented covid protocols. the world of sport has been paying tribute to captain sir tom moore this evening. this is wembley stadium joining the nation in remembering and celebrating the life and achievements of the 100—year—old who died this afternoon in hospital. he had contracted coronavirus. the pandemic inspired him to raise record amounts of money for the nhs with his sponsored walking. and that's all the sport for now. good evening. we'll continue to see the snow falling through this evening and overnight and with temperatures close to freezing on the roads and pavements, it will be slippery.
10:57 pm
so, some fairly treacherous travelling conditions. the strong wind as well is blowing the snow around. you can get the warnings from the website. it's because we've got the milder atlantic air trying to come into that colder air in the north but gradually through the week, you'll notice the milder air is nibbled away at. and if you watch the wind direction, it's the easterly, and then we get it coming southwards on that northerly breeze and it's just stirring the cold air into the midst and that cold air, therefore, is heading southwards with time. so, i think by the weekend, it will be colder for all but at the moment, the milder air�*s in charge in the south. so, lots of heavy showers. they run northwards coming into that cold air and just enhance that risk of further snow, especially for the hills, but there will be some snow at lower levels — a few centimetres certainly for the likes of the central lowlands, pushing a little bit further northwards mostly over the hills in northern ireland where slightly milder conditions prevail as they will across the bulk of england and wales away from the far north. but look towards the south with the potential for more rain to come in here. so, rain onto saturated ground
10:58 pm
with river levels still high, and there are still numerous flood warnings in force. so, this is a concern for southern areas. there's some uncertainty as to exactly how far north it will come. it looks like we'll see a dollop of rain here through the first part of wednesday, and the milder air gets further north into northern ireland and northern england. so, we'll start to see the snow that has fallen thawing and again pushing into the river systems as well as the heavy showers and longer spells of rain that are following. but all the while, that easterly wind, it'll continue to fall as snow across much of scotland and possibly the far north of england as well where that cold air is established and particularly over the hills, and what a raw day it'll be with that strong easterly wind as well. and little changes as we move into thursday. that easterly wind is still established. so, pushing more snowfall up onto the hills here, rain further south where it's slightly milder air, and still lots of heavy showers coming in over the saturated ground as well. so, that ongoing risk of flooding with us through much of the week —
10:59 pm
but towards the weekend, that cold air, as i say, is filtering its way southwards. so, it'll be a colder few days to come by that stage. the warnings are on the website.
