'than11o or 'than 16 or 15 temperatures no lower than 16 or 15 but we still have rain around for tomorrow and the same sort of areas which could affect northern ireland at times in my post to the central scotland area but it's mainly over the irish sea with some heavy showers in the north—west of scotland and into the south of the rain band scotland and into the south of the rain hand it's generally dry with brightness, bit rain band it's generally dry with brightness, bit of sunshine today but temperatures could get to 18 c. there will be heavy rain in places and with the weather front still on the scene overnight and into thursday the rain will keep going across northern and western parts of the uk, so we might start with some rain in northern ireland and it should turn showery and we will start with wet weather in scotland and it continues wet on thursday in southern scotland we see rain across wales and other western parts of england and some heavy rain over the hills and flood levels probably rising ahead of that towards eastern parts of england, temperatures will reach 17 in the sunshine but there is more rain around on friday.

nations in qualifying action tonight. and a storm at the t20 world cup, as south africa's players are ordered to take a knee, one of their stars opts out of their latest match. good evening, we'll start with the very sad news that the former rangers, everton and sccotland manager walter smith has died at the age of 73. he was a huge figure in the game but holds legendary status at ibrox where he won 10 championship titles across two spells. sir alex ferguson says he is devasted to lose a great friend and described his contrubtion to football as immense. alasdair lamont looks back at his career (vt)

and he's made me a better person. so i've got nothing but good words to say. it's going to be emotional in the next coming days and weeks. but the next coming days and weeks. but the best tributes i and we as a team can do is be united, get the fans behind us and try and win the game tomorrow. and that will be the best tribute. i think when you play aberdeen it's tough anyway because they're the team. and obviously what they're the team. and obviously what the news of today is going to make it even more tough, of course it is. but we need to be united, the fans, the players, the club everyone and do our best and the circumstances. as i say, the biggest tribute we can do is remember and honour him by trying to put in to a performance for him and his family. a very emotion steven gerrard paying

tribute. swiss dna in bedded in ibox. alan stubbs played for walter smith at everton and also against him in scotland whilst at celtic, and joins us live. whether it was the generosity he showed towards players or develop them or influence them in their management careers as well. what are your memories of him? my management careers as well. what are your memories of him?— your memories of him? my biggest memo is your memories of him? my biggest memory is that _ your memories of him? my biggest memory is that really, _ your memories of him? my biggest memory is that really, he - your memories of him? my biggest memory is that really, he fulfilled l memory is that really, he fulfilled my dream of playing for everton. he was the one given me the one given me the opportunity when when i thought that opportunity a pass. but i thought that opportunity pass me by when i got the phone call monday

to say there's a club of the north was interested and ijust didn't think it was everton. and when he told me it was everton i was so excited to go and meet walter at his home i couldn't think of enough. and the time as a rival when he was at celtic he was a very dignified and did things in the right manner. sometimes there is no intent of losing but he always had a way to respect the opposition. i think one of the most pivotal things he did and showed the togetherness that even though there are fierce rivals

that the picture of walter smith carrying tommy burns and scoffing at the funeral epitomised i think walter is a person 7 carrion. as a father, as a friend more than anything. father, as a friend more than anything-— father, as a friend more than an hina. . , father, as a friend more than an hin. ., , ., anything. scored so many goals for him in that — anything. scored so many goals for him in that first spell— anything. scored so many goals for him in that first spell at _ anything. scored so many goals for him in that first spell at ranges - him in that first spell at ranges called him a second father. it says something. you talk about rivalries will suffer a man who worked in two cities where two clubs in those two cities where two clubs in those two cities of liverpool players from celtic, liverpool have come forward and heaved so much praise on him today. itjust speaks praise has in it? today. it 'ust speaks praise has in it? ., ~ ., today. it 'ust speaks praise has in it? . ~ ., . ., ., �* it? yeah. i knew that walter hadn't been to well _ it? yeah. i knew that walter hadn't been to well recently. _ it? yeah. i knew that walter hadn't been to well recently. when - it? yeah. i knew that walter hadn't been to well recently. when i - it? yeah. i knew that walter hadn't| been to well recently. when i found the news this morning i was actually completely shocked. someone rang me

“p completely shocked. someone rang me up straight away after. i didn't know what to say. i didn't how to react to it because i was so shocked. i think everyone who will be spoken to about walter will only have good words to say about him because he was such, he committed a difficult time and even when it was so difficult for him he held himself in great esteem. what is achieved at rangers is nothing short of incredible. and rightly so he is an iconic figure of the football club. even throughout the generations, he'd always have no problem in stopping and spending time and chatting to you about everything. more often than not of the football his conversation was never about

football it was always about how are you getting on, how's the family? and that was the type of person that walter was. and that was the type of person that walterwas. he and that was the type of person that walter was. he was a special, special guy. i still can't believe that i'm actually talking about the fact that is passed away. he that i'm actually talking about the fact that is passed away.- fact that is passed away. he built somethin: fact that is passed away. he built something very _ fact that is passed away. he built something very special _ fact that is passed away. he built something very special at - fact that is passed away. he built something very special at ibox i fact that is passed away. he built. something very special at ibox and it was the lure of the rangers that took him away from scotland. he really turned around scotland's fortunes as well. got them rocketing back up the world ranks. got them being competitive away the neck again. in six months under sir alex ferguson at manchester united. so alan ferguson say how devastated he was today and really giving walter smith a of praise forjust what he achieved and that united team for six months. they won the fa that season. ., ~' six months. they won the fa that season. . ~ ., , ., �* season. yeah, i think what you've not in or season. yeah, i think what you've got in or about — season. yeah, i think what you've got in or about you, _ season. yeah, i think what you've got in or about you, and - season. yeah, i think what you've got in or about you, and walter. got in or about you, and walter certainly had an aura about him, walter used to walk many of them, he'll get everyone's attention

straight away. not many people could do that. and i'm notjust talking about in football circles i'm talking about in a wider circle to any sport or any profession. when walter walked in the room he commanded respect put up he was a wonderful person, notjust as speaking about football, he was a wonderful person. if you had a problem he would try hidden do his utmost to help you. whether that was personal or family issue. you utmost to help you. whether that was personal orfamily issue. you look at some of the names that walters had the pleasure of managing. one of speaks to mine is probably the biggest one in terms of gaza and how much he tried to help and take him under his wing. pictures showed you notjust

under his wing. pictures showed you not just walter the manager under his wing. pictures showed you notjust walter the manager but not just walter the manager but what walter was like as a person. i think that's the best way for me to talk about walter when i'm speaking about him. �* ., about walter when i'm speaking about him. �* . ,, about walter when i'm speaking about him. �* ., ,, ._ ., about walter when i'm speaking about him. alan stubbs, many thanks for shafinu him. alan stubbs, many thanks for sharing your _ him. alan stubbs, many thanks for sharing your memories _ him. alan stubbs, many thanks for sharing your memories of- him. alan stubbs, many thanks for sharing your memories of walter. sharing your memories of walter smith. one of the great managers in the game who reside at the age of 73. many thanks to you. we're down to the last 16 in league cup. three ties tonight, five tomorrow. they'll 7.65 kick—offs and it shoukld be a good one at the emirates, arsenal taking on leeds, radio 5lives alastair bruce ball is there for us. a place to lico quarterfinals is up for grabs tonight at the emirates stadium. a true sleep tonight trophy arsenal have only won twice in the us history. both underground leeds united have won ones beating arsenal in the final all the way back in 1968. arsenal certainly come into the game in filing federal and betterform. they are the game in filing federal and better form. they are unbeaten in seven games, they beat aston villa

by three goes to one here on friday night. leads have only won once in the premier league all season and are beset by injury problems as well. they have a huge game away to norwich at the weekend. this is the first time under their manager they been this far in the competition. it will be interesting to see what he decides to do is go out tonight was a place in the quarterfinals up for grabs and we got full commentary on bbc radio five live alongside former arsenal and leeds player dawson. cheslea against souithampton is another all—prmier league match tonight, but qpr from the championship are taking on league one sundnerland at loftus road. you'll have seen that the commonwelth games federation is dropping the number of compulsory sports from 16 to just 2 at future games. host cities will have to accommodate athletics and swimming but then have the freedom to fill the programme with different sports. that has caused huge concern among

several governing bodies. squash is one of those that regards a commonwelth gold medal as a pinnacle of achievement in the sport. we've all go to work hard in terms of making sure that we fit with the host cities. that we can bring value to them and that we are not too costly. so for a sport like squash that means that we need to be more flexible, more agile, creative. and ithink flexible, more agile, creative. and i think that squash is a sport that still not for many years because of course to be aware that were not olympic sport a commonwealth game is very important to us, it's the pinnacle for our sport. and we sat on the edge of olympic bids recently and less probably 20 years we've had to be innovative. it's force us to be so this is just perhaps applying that innovation, that creativity in a different context.—

that innovation, that creativity in a different context. there is some 'eo ard a different context. there is some jeopardy that _ a different context. there is some jeopardy that a — a different context. there is some jeopardy that a host _ a different context. there is some jeopardy that a host could - a different context. there is some jeopardy that a host could come i a different context. there is some | jeopardy that a host could come in and not choose to have squash. when people saw this news they did point to sports like squash, potential this could be some concern to those within squash. as the person at the top of this part, are you concerned7 yes, there is a risk in there. do we have some concern, it yes probably alongside all of those sports. we have a degree of concern. but we've got a new strategy that we been working on now for probably the last four or five working on now for probably the last four orfive months. i think that strategy goes a long way towards responding to strategies such as the commonwealth games federation. we are responding to that for the interest of our own game notjust the commonwealth games but i think it's about strengthening our own sport. it's about strengthening our own sort. ., ., ., sport. laura scott with the questions _ sport. laura scott with the questions they _ sport. laura scott with the questions they are. - laura scott with the questions they are. another busy night of

qualifiers for the 2023 women's world cup, northern ireland and wales are both in action later, england are playing right now in latvia ,jo currie is keeping across it all for us. scored lots of goals. they've only been playing ten minutes or so. pretty comfortable coming up leading to— zero. took them more than four minutes to take the lead. plenty of room on the edge of the box and for doing that four minutes later she scored a one second. wonderfully set “p scored a one second. wonderfully set up by kirby making herfifth tonight. there injune once again to smash it into the back of the net. disability news team captain is made three changes tonight. stokes and daily in, balls, england and not surprisingly best lead after the hetrick scored at wembley at saturday. 52nd birthday today so she'll be hoping for a clean sheet and a bit of a goal. hdiii she'll be hoping for a clean sheet and a bit of a goal.— and a bit of a goal. half the look

the last grand depart in the uk was in leeds in 2016. beijing 2022 has unveiled the design of the medals for the olympic winter games on tuesday — 100 days before the games begins. build up has been dominated by threats of overseas boycotts and coronavirus fears. cricket�*s t20 world cup continues and south africa have their first win in the tournament, but they beat west indies without their opener quinton de kock. the wicket—keeper batsmen opting out of the match in dubai after cricket south africa had sent out a directive insisting that all their players must take a knee before matches. patrick gearey reports. the idea was that this be a moment of unity. the first time the whole south african team took a knee but one man was missing. when endicott redrew from the scale after record

south africa told the game the gesture was compulsory saying it was... his decision they say it would be noted. it was soon noticed. his replacement couldn't cling on to lando simmons west indies main threat was the other man evan lewis, he smashed 50, might�*ve smashed more but boo—boo but didn't panic. the skipper trusted that they wouldn't all go for six. some might end up there. in lou of louis west indies had very little. their total of 163 was never likely to be enough. especially ones ada markram had his eye end. thanks to his muscular 50 the actual match was by some way the simplest part of south africa's death. in simplest part of south africa's death. , ., simplest part of south africa's death. ,., . simplest part of south africa's death. , ., ., ., , simplest part of south africa's death. ., , ., , death. in so far as me personally in the comment _ death. in so far as me personally in the comment to _ death. in so far as me personally in the comment to be _ death. in so far as me personally in the comment to be honest - death. in so far as me personally in | the comment to be honest probably one of my toughest days i've had to deal with as a captain. i guess if

there is a disagreement in terms of beliefs, and terms of view that's why we have conversations. i can't force anyone to see things the way that i do. neither can they force me. .,, that i do. neither can they force me. ., , ., that i do. neither can they force me. those conversations will now be had. me. those conversations will now be had- reports — me. those conversations will now be had. reports will— me. those conversations will now be had. reports will be _ me. those conversations will now be had. reports will be written - me. those conversations will now be had. reports will be written reasons| had. reports will be written reasons will be given. they will decide exactly how much weight they place on the knee. that issue has certainly overshadowed south africa's first win in the tournament. that issue has certainly overshadowed south africa's first win in the tournament. lets' get more on this from carlos brathwaite, who won the world cup for the windies in 2016 carlos, back injune, quinton de kock, briefly talked about his stance of not taking a knee my own personal opinion... he briefly talked about his stance about taking a knee he says my own personal opinion, no one forced to do anything. opinion, no one forced to do anything. no one is forced to do anything.

this seems to be the issue, cricket south africa giving the players no option. very awkward. yes, i see both sides of the point. on one hand i don't believe anyone should be forced to do anything. on the other hand it's a simple gesture to stand in solidarity, half of your team is black. and i know quentin de kock personally and ijust black. and i know quentin de kock personally and i just wonder what message will be sent in the dressing room as a leader as he is, as a talisman that he is. what would your black team—mates feel if you would get such a strong stand not to play for your country in the world tournament versus just taking the knee? the other side of the coin for me as i said is that no one should be forced to do something they don't want to do. and i think that this is embarrassing on the half of cricket south africa and should never have gotten to this stage in the middle of the tournament where you have to decide what mandate you're going to go with and you're going to ask person to do. not even asked tell them, they should been conversations

that had been had before the tournament.— that had been had before the tournament. ., , ., ., ~ tournament. really tough on africa's first black captain, _ tournament. really tough on africa's first black captain, huge _ first black captain, huge responsibility and symbolism they are with what he stands for. and he is taking over at the captaincy from quinton de kock. he should never have been put in a position. he's backed quinton, he said look, we've respected but how us move forward from here, you can see them playing again if cricket south africa stick by the guns. it again if cricket south africa stick by the guns-— by the guns. it will cause a division- — by the guns. it will cause a division. unfortunately i by the guns. it will cause a division. unfortunately it i by the guns. it will cause a l division. unfortunately it will by the guns. it will cause a - division. unfortunately it will take the shine of what was a fantastic performance on the field. after everything that happened, before the field. he does not deserve to be in that position as well. he's been a stalwart for south african cricket. he's took over from quinton de kock who was always or to be captain and to be a legend of the game. he had even less credentials than quinton de kock has done very well. for it to come to what it came to, it

cannot be a good feeling for him. and there will be some very important conversations to be had in the next couple of days. cricket south africa has taken their stand. they play cricket on the field, the players represent the board and it's for the players to make strong decisions, have good conversations, they need to unite. south africa has always been one to be a force in world cricket but never challenged from world tournaments. this is a good opportunity. how to get passes will say a lot for the tournament. definitely a story that's going to develop of the coming hours. as for the match much betterfrom the the match much better from the west indies. a collapse against england but they just fell short in this reigning champions you really want to see them step up a bit. it to see them step up a bit. ut couldn't get worse. but they've shown that they have taken the lessons from the first game. they improve their performance and i think that today that was less of

poor cricket by west indies and more good cricket by south africa. sometimes it's difficult in professional sports orjust hold your hand up and say well played to the opposition. i think today it was well played to south africa for the west in the play very well, they tried to start in a more composed fashion. they've got the game down to a situation that they wanted it to a situation that they wanted it to go into, 15th over. and then south africa clawed their way back and finish so well that they had less of a run added. even with the bad date decompose, walked home fantastic start.— fantastic start. commiseration to west indies _ fantastic start. commiseration to west indies was _ fantastic start. commiseration to west indies was that _ fantastic start. commiseration to west indies was that you - fantastic start. commiseration to west indies was that you just i west indies was that you just touched down from the radio booth in the last few minutes for the pakistan chase down that 135 victory against new zealand. they started off with that huge win against india to pakistan looking really good. l to pakistan looking really good. i don't know how they'll handle to pakistan looking really good. u don't know how they'll handle the weight of favourites was coming into this tournament pakistan's 18 that

you get a look out for. for everything that happened in new zealand playing at of tours to pakistan, pakistan i felt at a point to prove in this tournament. when you think about tournaments gone, pakistan is a fantastic tournament team. seems like south africa, bilateral series and then teams like west indies, pakistan and sri lanka who may not give the best show in bilateral series but always turns out for tournaments. this pakistan team has turned out. then;r out for tournaments. this pakistan team has turned out.— out for tournaments. this pakistan team has turned out. they really are impressive- — team has turned out. they really are impressive- it's _ team has turned out. they really are impressive. it's good _ team has turned out. they really are impressive. it's good to _ team has turned out. they really are impressive. it's good to see, - team has turned out. they really are impressive. it's good to see, is i team has turned out. they really are impressive. it's good to see, is it? l impressive. it's good to see, is it? a little bit of you backing pakistan.— a little bit of you backing pakistan. �* , , ~' a little bit of you backing pakistan. �* , , ~ , pakistan. anybody else you think is auoin to pakistan. anybody else you think is aoian to ao pakistan. anybody else you think is going to go the _ pakistan. anybody else you think is going to go the distance? - pakistan. anybody else you think is going to go the distance? i - pakistan. anybody else you think is going to go the distance? i think i going to go the distance? i think west indies is good to be tough for them. from that group of india, pakistan and new zealand. like i said new pakistan expected, india to have a leg up on the opposition. because of the recent ipl that seems to have done more harm than good. this game on sunday with india versus new zealand his whole qualifier with pakistan. for the

moment pakistan will be in the semifinals and potentially world. many thanks. woke up winner. you lots more to come with our five life colleagues. thanks forjoining us sports day. just a reminder of our top story the death of walter smith at the age of 73. legendary manager with rangers also known on scotland and everton tributes pouring in from across the game. for me and the rest of the sports a team that's it for this evening. it's going to say very mild or next few days temperatures widely 17 c with a were also defined heavy rain the next few days. particularly across western areas, the southern

uplands, northern pennines and then into west wales was up that heavy rain is going to lead to some flooding. we had a lot of rain across scotland through the afternoon, early evening. that rain band then moves southwards overnight into northern ireland for a while. then down across the irish see into the northwest of england. it will be some fairly broad south—westerly winds and a lot of clouds tonight. may affect northern ireland for a while the rain pushing up into the central bits of scotland. towards the northwest maybe some sunshine but a few sharp showers. south of our rain band across a good part of england and wales it'll be dry, bright may be a bit of sunshine coming through. and we could find temperatures perhaps even higher than they were during today.
