for now. good evening i'm tt and this is your sports news where we start with football. new tottenham manager antonio conte started his reign by overseeing a nervy 3—2 win at home to dutch side vitesse arnhem in the europa new tottenham manager antonio conte started his reign by overseeing a nervy 3—2 win at home to dutch side vitesse arnhem in the europa conference league. son heung min opened the scoring early on in a frenetic start as lucas moura also picked up a goal and the stadium was bouncing when a jacob rasmussen own goal went in with less than half an hour played it was turning into a night where records may be broken. but two goals from vitesse saw the teams head up the tunnel withjust the minimum gap separating them. after the break three red cards were handed out, two for the dutch after this one

to tottenham's cristian romero for a second yellow but conte's side held on to move second in the group with two matches remaining. there were also four british clubs in europa league action tonight. david moyes's one thousandth match as a manager ended in a 2—2 draw in belgium. west ham fell behind to an early goal at genk, but fought back to lead with less than ten minutes to go thanks to two excellent strikes by said benrahma. but all their hard work was undone just five minutes later when tomas soucek found his own net. west ham top group h. leicester came from behind to draw 1—1 with spartak moscow. they equalised from ryan bertrand's corner — daniel amartey got on the end of an ayoze perez flick—on. jamie vardy missed a penalty with 15 minutes remaining and that result means they're third in group c. rangers needed substitute ianis hagi to secure them a precious point as they came from behind to draw one all against brondby in denmark. the result leaves the scottish

champions third in group a behind sparta prague and they face the czech side next. celtic were 3—2 winners away to hungarian's ferencevaros in group g. after both sides traded early goals it wasjota who put the hoops ahead with this clinical finish and a third from 20 year old israeli international liel abada on the hour mark was enough to keep ange postecoglou's side in the hunt despite conceding a late second. bbc sport understands an agreement is close with eddie howe to succeed steve bruce as newcastle utd manager and it s hoped he will be in charge for saturdays match at brighton. the magpies have been managerless since steve bruce parted company with the club just over two weeks ago. unai emery opted not to leave villareall and the former bournemouth manager is now favourite to take the job at st james's park. former england captain michael vaughan says he was named

in yorkshire's azeem rafiq report but "totally denies any allegation of racism". an investigation found rafiq had been a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" while at the club. meanwhile sponsors and partners continue to cut their ties withthe county over their handling of the racism allegations. this afternoon harrogate spring water became the latest company to withdraw their sponsorship, while nike have said they will no longer be their kit supplier. yorkshire's board will meet tomorrow to discuss the fallout, having previously said it would take no disciplinary action against its employees, players or executives and has been called to give evidence to government ministers. it's been clear over the course of this investigation to we have had concerns of the manner in which decisions have been made and it's very clear, given the conclusion of the investigation and subsequent action that is been taken in respect of disciplinary action to those implicated, it is very clear that there's been a lack of realisation of the seriousness of the issue and

the implications for the wider games. and they are compelled to take these actions. on to cricket and at the t20 men's world cup, australia are up to second in group 1 after a comfortable victory over bangladesh. looking to bounce back after their defeat to england at the weekend, aaron finch's side gave bangladesh no chance at all, bowling them out for just 73. adam zampa getting five wickets. finch then starred with the bat, top scoring with a0 off 20 balls to help them reach the target in just over six overs. they now go above south africa in the table and play the west indies in theirfinal match. and talking of west indies. they are out — their defence ended with defeat to sri lanka in abu dhabi. sri lanka set them a target of 190 and took regular wickets to stifle their chase, this stunning catch from bhanuka rajapaksa one of the highlights. despite shimron hetmyer�*s 80, which included a late flurry of sixes, the west indies ultimately fell 20 runs short.

cameron norrie has lost in straight sets to the american taylor fritz in the paris masters. the world number 13 had been hoping to get through the third round, and qualify for the atp tourfinals in turin — which is still mathematically possible, but 2a year old fritz was too strong for him. taking norrie 6—3 in the first set and then 7—6 in the second. so it's the american who advances to the quarter finals and will face the favourite novak djokovic. defending champion and world number 0nejudd trump eased through to the quarter—finals of the english 0pen earlier this evening with a 4 frames to 1 win over scotland's ross muir. the 32 year old was in imperious form with this century in the 4th frame taking him to the brink and he finished the job shortly after to set up a last eight match with english compatriot mark king. and that's all the sport for now.

hello there. after the rather chilly conditions of the last few days, things are going to feel a little bit different as we head towards the weekend. some milder weather in the forecast, but with that quite a lot of cloud feeding and from the west. and for some of us through the weekend there is some wet and windy weather on the way. this one front has been working its way south and east and is introducing more in the way of cloud, but also introducing a westerly wind, so that is bringing a milder feel. a milder start to friday for many. the coldest conditions down towards the south and the east where the skies have remained clear. and that's where we will see the best of any sunshine through the morning. for many other places there is going to be a lot of cloud. that cloud, at times, producing some spots of light rain and drizzle. especially over high ground in western scotland. we will hold onto a little bit of brightness at times

across eastern scotland, northeast england, parts of east wales, the midlands and down towards the southeast. and the temperatures a little higher than they have been. double digits for almost all of us. ten to 13 degrees at best. as we head through friday night bonfire night of course, expect mild conditions. a lot of cloud, some spots of rain and drizzle, and then through the early hours of saturday expect some heavier rain starting to push and towards the western side of scotland. it will be quite a mild start to the weekend. seven, eight, nine, 10 degrees. but for saturday, well high pressure will hold on down towards the south, low pressure is pushing close to the north of the uk and this frontal system here will bring some outbreaks of quite heavy rain southwards and eastwards across scotland, and northern ireland. some of that rain eventually getting down into northwest england and north wales. ahead of that southern and eastern parts of england largely dry, but quite cloudy. brightening up eventually towards the northwest where it will also be turning very windy. but we stick with that milder theme. 12 to 1a degrees.

now through saturday night as this area of low pressure passes close to northern scotland, notice the white lines, the isobars squeezing together. there will be a swathe of really strong winds. quite widely it will be windy, but wind gusts could get up to 70 mph. even a touch more in the most exposed spots in northern scotland. but for sunday, we can expect more in the way of sunshine. showers continuing in the far north where we keep a fairly brisk breeze. it will feel a little cooler by this stage, but still top temperatures of ten to 13 degrees.
