6:51 pm
with joy and pride at passing pele's goal—scoring world record. he had been level with the brazilian legend but fittingly the 36—year—old portuguese forward brought up 770 career goals with a hat—trick as juventus beat cagliari in serie a. his claim to now be top of the list is disputed though. patrick gearey reports. unlike many things belonging to christian 0tto rinaldo, you cannot trademark a hat—trick but if you could, yesterday's would be stamped with his name and a special number. for with those goals, rinaldo claimed that he had gone back the great pele pots are total of 767 official goals. in fact on social media, rinaldo set unlike others who said he had already beaten the record, he had waited because he counts goals pay based scored for the sao paulo seat team and the brazilian military team which was nice of them. fantastic speed... many of pele's goes don't survive on film. those that do are sometimes
6:52 pm
drained of colour and context and the actual number he scored is also a little fuzzy. the man or goat himself responded on is chagrined that he was only sorry he could not hug rinaldo after passing his record of goals and official matches. a lovely moment but that is a tricky phrase. some say pele actually scored 1283 goals but then a lot of those came in friendly�*s. a friend game though had a different meaning in and for pele's club, exhibition matches could be better business than official competitions. instead of 'ust than official competitions. instead ofjust making _ than official competitions. instead ofjust making a — than official competitions. instead ofjust making a journey _ than official competitions. instead ofjust making a journey to - than official competitions. instead | ofjust making a journey to another country to play one game, you make a journey to another country to play five or six friendly�*s and you packed the crowd and, and that's the way that you make your money. a friend we didn't have the kind of it doesn't really matter aspect that it doesn't really matter aspect that it does now. —— a friendly. but also the greatness of pele isn'tjust in his accumulation, it's in the fact
6:53 pm
that when it was really important, he rose to the occasion. find that when it was really important, he rose to the occasion. and there's another man — he rose to the occasion. and there's another man standing _ he rose to the occasion. and there's another man standing in _ he rose to the occasion. and there's another man standing in the - he rose to the occasion. and there's l another man standing in the shadows. this man paid for austria in the 193a world cup and some sources say he scored 805 goals in his career. again, some appeared to be for reserve teams and in amateur football. christian 0tto rinaldo might not need the caveats. another 36 goals would beat his mark. rinaldo is now 36 years old. but still striving, still scoring, still counting. christian 0tto rinaldo! patrick gearey, bc news. we will see if there any goals tonight at molineux. wolves against liverpool, 8pm kick—off, a five way for commentary on that. adil has been done for eight to fight about two between the world heavyweight champions tyson fury and anthony joshua. from sportsday and me and
6:54 pm
the rest of the team, that's all for now. —— a deal has been done. hello you are watching bbc news with me ben brown. let's bring you up—to—date on what has been happening at westminster where hundreds of protesters have gathered to pay tribute to sarah everard and also to protest about the government's controversial police, crime, sentencing and courts bill which mps are debating today. —— in the coming days. many marchers stopped traffic for a short time. the protest then moved to new scotland yard for a second night in a row. a lot of the protesters angry about what happened on clapham common on saturday evening. we can speak now to lord falconer, labour's shadow attorney general.
6:55 pm
thank you very much for being with us lord falconer. first of all your response to make a response will happen saturday evening on what happened to clapham common them. we have heard calls from cressida dick to resign, but the prime minister saying they have confidence in her. where do you stand on this? i saying they have confidence in her. where do you stand on this? i don't think she should _ where do you stand on this? i don't think she should resign _ where do you stand on this? i don't think she should resign but - where do you stand on this? i don't think she should resign but i - where do you stand on this? i don't think she should resign but i think. think she should resign but i think the offence on saturday in clapham that were badly handled. i think people have to understand that the water is even though there are coronavirus regulations, proportionate demonstrations are permitted and the best way to work at what is proportionate which depends on the facts in every case should be for the police and people organising the demonstration to work out a sensible means of having a demonstration to express what they feel. and the problem i think in relation to what happened on saturday was the organisers kept coming to the police and saying "let's talk about how we can have a vigil that expresses people's
6:56 pm
feelings but what happen." and the police can say no we won't because it will set a precedent which will allow people to have gatherings beyond those that are in breach of the coronavirus regulations. they are about to do that if it is a witch admit protest because that's one of our most basic rights. and having not agree to a sensible way of doing it, they then overreacted at the end of the demonstration at the end of the evening on saturday. it was a very bad demonstration of the police being to not listening enough and not allowing a lawful demonstration and then being much too abrupt with the demonstrators. and speaking about the right to demonstrate in a broader sense, that is what people, some people who oppose this police, crime, sentencing and courts bill say that it is being rushed, this legislation and they are worried about where it leaves the right to demonstrate and how protests are police in the
6:57 pm
future. what is your view on the bill? we know labour are opposing the bill. i bill? we know labour are opposing the bill. , ., , ., , bill? we know labour are opposing the bill. , ., , , the bill. i strongly oppose these measures and _ the bill. i strongly oppose these measures and a _ the bill. i strongly oppose these measures and a bill— the bill. i strongly oppose these measures and a bill designed i the bill. i strongly oppose these measures and a bill designed to | the bill. i strongly oppose these i measures and a bill designed to give the police yet further powers in relation to curbing demonstrations. the real issue that has emerged is the inadequacy both of the detail of our law and the enforcement of our law in relation to to sexual crimes and the use of violence by men against women. and what this bill focuses on much too much is things like curbing the right of people to demonstrate and it is appalling inappropriateness was revealed by the police using the powers they in fact did not have to try to curb demonstration with lots of people protesting against the violence that men are using against women and now they want more powers to do just that. itjust feels so inappropriate
6:58 pm

6:59 pm
through the day and behind this area of rain, this is a cold front, the skies get much clearer so scotland and northern ireland seeing the best of the afternoon sunshine tomorrow. it will start to feel a bit fresher, though, as the sunshine comes out across the north west. that's your weather.
