infections after those who returned positive covid tests after their win at norwich had them confirmed with pcr tests today. the club say the team won't travel down to london until the outcome of discussions with the premier league is known. there could be more disruption to come. the recent outbreak at tottenham puts their thursday game against leicester, who also have some positive cases, in doubt. aston villa and brighton have also been affected, while crystal palace manager patrick viera spoke about his fears that games might again have to be played behind closed doors. and today, manchester city boss pep guardiola has urged all his players and staff to get their boosterjabs. i am concerned not because they're going to cancel the break, i am concerned that the virus is ere and people suffering seeing with tottenham first and united

so there are many and some people here, the staff they have got it. right now, and we spoke with the players almost every day to be careful. staying with football, there were two attempts at carrying out the champions league last 16 draw today. the first one was declared void because of mistakes made that uefa blamed on a software problem. so, a couple of hours later, it was undertaken again. there's one tie that is the same as the first attempt. that's holders chelsea against lille, while the other english teams will face different opponents. liverpool will play inter milan, manchester city against sporting lisbon, while manchester united are taking on atletico madrid. for all the latest on that and the europa league and conference knockout draws, head to the bbc sport website. to formula 1, where the dust is settling on one of the most controversial endings to a season for years. today, it emerged that lewis hamilton said over his team radio at the end of the abu dhabi grand prix that the race had been "manipulated". hamilton, however, was magnanimous

speaking after the race, and max verstappen says he was congratulated by hamilton and mercedes team boss toto wolff. the new world champion was speaking earlier today, so was he upset by how the title became his? it just sums up itjust sums up the whole season in general. it has been pretty crazy and intense. so both teams, we gave it all to the end it. and i think it wasjust an amazing it all to the end it. and i think it was just an amazing battle. after things like this you are to look into what can we do or what should have been done. it's a big part of the whole season, this contest, so it is what it is. that's racing sometimes as well. and for me nothing can really change. we were still celebrating and we did win it on track. i and the team did not do anything wrong. wejust on track. i and the team did not do anything wrong. we just raced when there was a green light, so that also made it really enjoyable for us to be celebrating.

us open winner emma raducanu has tested positive for covid—19, meaning she'll miss this week's mubadala world tennis championship in abu dhabi. the 19—year—old is experiencing mild symptons and will isolate for ten days. she's scheduled to play in a wta melbourne warm—up tournament next month before the australian open. former england full—back danielle waterman has launched a new players' union for women in the premier 15s league. the women's rugby association will provide legal, medical and welfare support for members. waterman said it was important to look after players on and off the field. professional players could already join the rugby players' association, but this wasn't an option for the semi—professionals and amateurs in premier 15s. the countdown is on to the second test of the ashes, which begins this thursday in adelaide. england looking for a much—needed win after their big defeat at the gabba against australia. and the hosts have confirmed that fast—bowlerjosh hazelwood is out. he's suffering from a rib injury he picked up in last week's first test. the second match of the series

"the most spectacular and accessible opening ceremony in olympic history" is being promised by the organisers of the next summer games in paris. in a break with tradition, more than 160 boats will carry athletes and officials for almost six kilometres along the river seine. crowds of more than 600,000 are expected to attend for free. it will be the first time the ceremony will take place outside of a stadium at a summer games. now, finally, today was the day when the shortlist of six contenders was announced for the 2021 bbc sports personality of the year award. here they are.

tom daly. adam pt. tyson fury. in marotta economy. _ and that's all the sport for now. hello. well, tuesday is going to be generally quite cloudy, perhaps damp in a few places, nothing spectacular. it is december after all. you can see a lot of cloud on the satellite picture, but this little gap in the cloud that's over us right now has actually led to some clear spells across parts of northern england and northern ireland, too, perhaps the north of wales. so, i think these are the most likely areas for fog to form early in the morning. the very far north west of the uk, wet and windy first thing. the south of the country, really quite mild. look at these starting temperatures. ten degrees along the channel coast. so, this is the weather

map for tuesday. we have high pressure to the south, which will continue to build through the course of the week, but weather fronts are grazing the north west of the uk. so, for ourfriends in the western isles, it's going to be wet and windy at times. we are expecting some rain or so in orkney and shetland. perhaps a little bit of rain around the lowlands and south—western areas of scotland, but i think eastern areas, in fact all along the east of the country, i think there will be some brightness around. and temperatures typically around 7—9 degrees, but southern areas, london, cardiff, plymouth with the cloud and the murk hanging around, that mild air from the south, it will be around 12 degrees in one or two spots. here's the weather map for wednesday. so, again, high pressure in the south, weather fronts grazing the north, but increasingly these weather fronts will bring less rain as we go through the course of the week. so, more than anything, it's just an area of cloud with some dampness across parts of scotland and northern ireland. it's because high pressure is

starting to build in from the south. and look at these temperatures. double figures right across the board midweek. now, this high pressure is going to anchor across the uk thursday and friday, and i wouldn't be surprised if it stays here, well, all the way up to christmas quite possibly. this means generally settled conditions across the uk, light winds, some fog in the morning. still mild on thursday, but i think gradually what we'll find is these temperatures, even though we have high pressure, gradually these temperatures will ease down into single figures by the time we get to the weekend. but i think it's going to stay mostly settled for the rest of the week. bye— bye.
