course they will be subject to quarantine restrictions ten day quarantine restrictions ten day quarantine and then they will have to get tested. the ecb, the england cricket board, have said franchises are responsible for getting players home. many players still out there, south africa, very quickly, arguably the most proactive governing body said they will ensure all players are expected back home. they have beenin are expected back home. they have been in touch with all of the different ipl franchises to make sure that happens. they will be subject to quarantine on returning home, as well. of course we have seen the benefit of these bio bubbles in allowing professional sport to take place at the moment, of course the problem is that when those bubbles are breached, we have a situation we have today. thank those bubbles are breached, we have a situation we have today.— a situation we have today. thank you for the moment. _ a situation we have today. thank you for the moment. let's _ a situation we have today. thank you for the moment. let's get _ a situation we have today. thank you for the moment. let's get some - for the moment. let's get some reaction from india now. i've been speaking to cricket journalist rica roy who is in new dehli 0n the one hand there is the

prime—time sports, the ipl, and on the other hand this huge national health emergency playing out. everyone thought it was inappropriate for that to be a tournament at this level, it's not just about cricket, but you know, the show, the razzmatazz, the whole announcement of the billion—dollar league and everyday there is a show of being a happy bubble, happy environment, where is through the society, ripping through our cities. —— covid is ripping through the societies. people are dying in hospitals, there is no place in crematoriums, people are gasping for breath. these are two contrasting pictures. breath. these are two contrasting ictures. ~ ., , , . pictures. will it now be difficult for the ecg. — pictures. will it now be difficult for the 3ch in _ pictures. will it now be difficult for the bcci, in terms - pictures. will it now be difficult for the bcci, in terms of- pictures. will it now be difficult i for the bcci, in terms of whether they rearrange this tournament, what window they can find for that, where they could have it? there's an awful lot of questions now. i they could have it? there's an awful lot of questions now.—

the other big ones as well, so i was confident going in. it even still, to come out on the winning end, it was tremendous, really. what to come out on the winning end, it was tremendous, really.— to come out on the winning end, it was tremendous, really. what are the coals was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? — was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i — was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i know— was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i know you _ was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i know you say _ was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i know you say you're - was tremendous, really. what are the goals now? i know you say you're not| goals now? i know you say you're not bothered about records, but what are the targets? i bothered about records, but what are the tar: ets? ., bothered about records, but what are the taraets? . . , bothered about records, but what are the targets?— the targets? i mean, i always set my coals the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every — the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season — the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season to _ the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season to try _ the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season to try to - the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season to try to win - the targets? i mean, i always set my goals every season to try to win at i goals every season to try to win at least one tournament a year. irrelevant of what that tournament is, because i've always had the standard of snooker were playing at the moment is probably the toughest it has ever been, so if you were to win one tournament a year, you got to class it as a successful season, so that's always my goal going forward now going to try to win one a year. but now, capturing the world champion ship now for fourth time, and to go back up to number two in the world, i think i'm quite close tojudd trump so my goal would be to try to capture the number one spot back. . , ., ., , �* back. en'oy the celebrations, i'm sure back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm sure ou back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm sure you have — back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm sure you have some _ back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm sure you have some more - back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm. sure you have some more planned back. enjoy the celebrations, i'm - sure you have some more planned for the week! . ~ sure you have some more planned for the week! ., ~ , ., , . the week! thank you very much. i could do with _ the week! thank you very much. i could do with some _ the week! thank you very much. i could do with some sleep! - the week! thank you very much. i could do with some sleep! thank| the week! thank you very much. i i could do with some sleep! thank you for 'oinin: could do with some sleep! thank you

forioining us- _ let's take a quick look at some other stories making the news. tom daley has won a second gold medal at the diving world cup in tokyo, a competition which serves as a test event for the olympics. he took gold in the individual 10m platform title. daley also won the 10m synchronised event alongside matty lee on saturday. british number two cameron norrie has withdrawn from the madrid masters because of blisters on his foot. he had been due to play serbia's filip krajinovic in the first round. dan evans is now the sole british singles interest there. and there will be crowds at the monaco grand prix weekend later this month. organisers say grandstands will be at up to 40% of capacity, with a maximum of 7500 spectators per day. we started with all the look ahead

to the big news in the champions league this evening with manchester city taking on paris st germain, looking to make a first champions league final. but some team news to bring you ahead of that second leg against psg. manchester city have made two changes from paris last week, they won 2—1 last week. there still no recognised striker in city as micro 11. the big news we have all been waiting for about psg is that kylian mbappe is only fit enough for the bench. so, interestingly, he has been replaced. there will be full text commentary on the bbc sport website. you can follow it all there and also on radio five live, there will be lots of commentary. all the

build up from 7pm, so in about seven minutes' time, with the team there on radio five live, and also commentary from 8pm, it's an 8pm kick—off. manchester city, a big week in the champions league for them, taking on paris saint—germain, leading to have someone from that first leg, so the second leg is a little bit later and then again tomorrow, chelsea are going to be in action against real madrid. we know real madrid are holding a press conference now so we will have lots of those interesting talking points from that emerging this evening, i'm sure we are going into the live text commentary, will have the build—up to that game on a sportsday tomorrow. from me and the team here, have a lovely evening. goodbye. good evening. more showers to come

in the next few days, and it will feel cold for the time of year, as well. yesterday'swet and windy weather swept through as the low pressure eased away. we have had a lot of showers following on behind that, and cold winds, too. the winds are actually coming down from the north, maintaining the chilly feel. they will be easing overnight, and a lot of the wet weather we have seen today will fade away as well, most of the wet weather moving its way towards wales in the midlands for a while. clearskies towards wales in the midlands for a while. clear skies will follow but increasingly wintry showers will arrive for the northern parts of scotland, it will be cold at night and last night, not as windy or wet widely. where we have clear skies, scotland and northern england, we are more likely to have a frost. some sunshine tomorrow, wintry showers will move them toward scotland, more showers for northern ireland, over the irish sea come into wales, and they will push their way towards the midlands and south—east of england in the afternoon. there won't be too many shares in the south—west of england and the showers may ease in wales.

some heavy, thundery ones with hale heading across the midlands towards the south—east, perhaps east anglia. reifer northern england, may be a bit drier in the north—east of scotland, showers moving down towards the central belt and south—east of the country. and it's a northerly wind, not as windy on wednesday, but temperatures may be 10 degrees in glasgow, 12 in london. below parfor the time 10 degrees in glasgow, 12 in london. below par for the time of year. winds tend to ease down further for many as we head into thursday, the weather front heading in from the atlantic, bringing more cloud into southern england for a while, perhaps some rain, more likely through the english channel, then some sunshine and showers, more frequent, heavy, blustery showers blown in across scotland, perhaps northern ireland, northern england could be a bit wintry of the highest round, 7 degrees in newcastle on thursday, 13 in cardiff. it could be a cold start to friday, lighter winds, likely to be a widespread slight frost. cloud will bubble up, some showers breaking out but not many, many places will be dry and temperatures across the border

should be a degree or two higher, but still in the 1a or 15. heading into the weekend, another area of low pressure will bring rain across many parts of the country on saturday, the winds will start to and from the south, if we do get some sunshine and south—east, the air will be a bit warmer and temperatures will be higher.

at it one last time. first, though, we hearfrom some of those challenging the so—called big five. among them — some familiar faces. welcome to the campaign — in underan hour... it's the final tv debate of the 2021 scottish parliament elections here on the bbc.
