england, wales and south—west england, wales and south—west england but still many areas, especially wales and england would like to see some more rain and it is there tomorrow, slowly moving east, across east anglia and the south—east in the afternoon although a brief amount of rain after a dry start to the day. look how things are in the afternoon. for most places, sunny spells, and a few heavy showers. it is a windy day, very gusty and the winds could be disruptive in places but it's more likely to be a typical blow we autumn day, and it will turn cooler with the passage of the rain with temperatures in the south actually taking a dip in the afternoon. as we go into the evening and into thursday, the blustery showers are going to continue and a spell of rain moves south on friday and then into the weekend, it's very clear to see which is the dryer day, it stands out. that at the moment looks to be saturday. time to

anfield is set for a big night of european football — as liverpool host rangers in the champions league — the first time the sides have ever met in a competitive match. and as british boxing gets set for another installment of benn versus eubank, chrisjunior says he can't shoulder his father's concerns about him having to drop weight to fight connor. i cannot let his worries affect me because at the end of the day i signed the contract and the fight is happening. well, long for something a bit different this tuesday evening. the inaugural bbc green sport awards, the first time that awards like this have been held. we are here as part of a two—day summit being held by
6:34 pm
you have teams, athletes and organisations all trying to put sustainability at the heart of what they do. what does that mean? sportsmen and women using their profile to try to raise climate awareness and promote a greener future for you and me and everyone. beyond this room is what they are doing really going to create an impact and have the ripples that they are hoping? we will ask those questions in the next half an hour. five awards are on offer, lydia campbell has more. from the depths of the oceans to the heights of the mountains, this is our world. heights of the mountains, this is ourworld. but heights of the mountains, this is our world. but it is changing and not for the better. there's plastic in the ocean and forest fires and flooding are on the rise. so what can support due to play a part? the bbc green sport awards are about highlighting athletes and
6:35 pm
organisations using sport to help protect the planet. sport stars have an increasing role to play in bringing societal issues to the forefront according to the massachusetts institute of technology, sport stars are more influential than those in politics and the arts. there are five bbc awards recognising contributions and you will hear the stories behind them as we celebrate the people in sport helping to build a more sustainable future. lots of people having their canopies at the moment, having a few drinks and preparing themselves and getting ready for the awards themselves a little later on this evening. we will be able to watch them live, or highlights of that at 8:30pm on bbc news channel. but i can reveal the winner of the young athlete has gone to a man who has been called the
6:36 pm
answer to greta thunberg for football, norwegian footballer morton boyce b. and i'm pleased to say that he joins us now from berlin. congratulations on winning this award and from people who have not been following your work as an eco warrior to tell us about some of the things that you've been doing. in the last seven or eight years i have been going through this journey and finding out what i can do. when i was 18 i figured out that i wanted to do everything possible to fight the environmental crisis and since then i've been asking what i can do as an individual and that went from changing myself to actually trying to build a movement in football where we try to use football to
6:37 pm
change the world because i think football can make a huge difference. and it could be a fundamental part of solving the environmental crisis. when you are here i knew that he cycled from the training complex to the stadium and you got the club to put solar panels on the stadium roof. these are tangible and practical benefits that you have added. i would love to know what reaction has been like in the dressing room. you were known i think as green boy! how has it been trying to get your team—mates on board? in trying to get your team-mates on board? . , , , ., , trying to get your team-mates on board? . , , , . , . trying to get your team-mates on board? ., , , ., , ., ., board? in the last seven years a lot has happened _ board? in the last seven years a lot has happened and _ board? in the last seven years a lot has happened and when _ board? in the last seven years a lot has happened and when i _ board? in the last seven years a lot has happened and when i started i has happened and when i started speaking about this in 2015 my team—mates were pretty much just laughing at everything i said. in the last three or four years there's been a huge shift in the players
6:38 pm
have started to realise that they have started to realise that they have to care about this as they see the changes and feel summers are getting hotter. pre—season is more difficult because of the heat and all these changes they feel in their body and they start to realise this is a big problem. so i feel that the players are starting to engage but there is still a lot of work that has to be done and i'm trying to activate these players to start to fight this because they can make a big difference. let fight this because they can make a big difference.— big difference. let me ask you, some --eole big difference. let me ask you, some eo - le will big difference. let me ask you, some peeple will say _ big difference. let me ask you, some peeple will say it _ big difference. let me ask you, some people will say it is _ big difference. let me ask you, some people will say it is all _ big difference. let me ask you, some people will say it is all very _ big difference. let me ask you, some people will say it is all very well- people will say it is all very well this happening in a summit at wembley stadium but will it have any impact beyond this room with government leaders, will it break through to these leaders who need to make the changes. and thinking about your norway team—mates are made an incredible impact on the english premier league, is it also about

getting those names involved as well if this is going to push them further? ~ ., , ., , if this is going to push them further? ~ . , ., , ., , if this is going to push them further? ., , further? we need as many as possible and the more — further? we need as many as possible and the more and _ further? we need as many as possible and the more and better— further? we need as many as possible and the more and better players - further? we need as many as possible and the more and better players than| and the more and better players than the better. the bigger stars are the ones who have the most influence and we need to get the players on board to use their influence and influence people who are not already convinced. and that is where football has a fundamental role in reaching out to people and gaining support in a bigger group of population because policymakers need more support for green changes and thatis more support for green changes and that is where the players can help. using their voices and reaching out to people all across the world. and we are speaking about players with platforms in every corner of the planet and that is the key and white is so important to get players from all over the world on board with this. and of course better players and the more audience they have the
6:40 pm
better. so the most important thing i can do for the climate is to get as good as possible in football and keep on using my voice. congratulations again and we have to leave. you're in berlin and top of the bundesliga at the moment and we wish you all the best of the campaign in germany and what you're doing in terms of climate awareness. the young athlete of the year there, the award winner here at the bbc green sport awards. five awards on offer and let'sjump green sport awards. five awards on offer and let's jump straight to another award winner. sale gp have won the team award this evening in the category in and around the screen sport awards making sure they have an impact and influence beyond the sport itself and i can tell you that two times olympic champion and three times world champion hannah mills is with me. i spoke to her a short time ago about the work that

6:43 pm
forjurgen klopp, he'll be looking for one of their big european nights there. it's not been going their way in the premier league, they sit 9th, 11 points off the top of the table. and for rangers, they're second to rivals celtic in the scottish premiership and have lost their first two group games. chris mclaughlin reports. it isa it is a world—famous club with scots woven through the heart of its history. and yet liverpool have never played a competitive match against one of scotland's biggest clubs in rangers. the scene is set for what could be a cracker. it is auoin to for what could be a cracker. it is going to be _ for what could be a cracker. it is going to be very _ for what could be a cracker. it 3 going to be very difficult, this team perform really well in the premier league. i think it is still one of the best teams in europe. if you look at all of our opponents that we face in the last season in
6:44 pm
europe and also this season, probably this is the stronger side. looking round earlier this is a rangers squad who go back into champions league action after heavy defeats. but domestic form is on the app. the home side have tasted recent success in european club football is biggest competition and the man in charge knows that scottish football is improving. rangers and celtic are the standout teams in the league, that is not news, but how will they do in europe? and rangers last year in the european league were exceptional. and in the home game you can see how the atmosphere can give you the advantage in the game and that was very impressive. {lin advantage in the game and that was very impressive-— advantage in the game and that was very impressive. on match day three and field resurgent _ very impressive. on match day three and field resurgent rangers. -
6:45 pm
and there'll be commentary of that game on bbc radio 5 live and bbc radio scotland extra. there will also be updates from tottenham's game in germany. antonio conte's side look to bounce back from a disappointing defeat in the north london derby when they face europa league holders eintracht frankfurt. and the spurs boss has defended his style of play after the weekend's loss to arsenal. it is important to try to have a plan and put players in the best possible situation to exploit their characteristics. otherwise it can happen that you can concede defeat. it's happened a lot of times. now we all know it's been an incredible year of women's football, with significant moments and performances, in both international and domestic leagues all around the world.
6:46 pm

sports platform, will inspire government leaders and key decision makers to make profound seismic change around climate awareness. that is the ambition in here, there are still inevitably doubts about whether it will carry beyond a summit like this and whether profound change can come from this but there is no doubt about one thing, that this is a step in the right direction and support has the power to create lasting change if teams and organisations come together. will the work here lead to anything profound? we have to wait and see as i say at a teddy pm you will be able to watch the award ceremony at 8:30pm. from all of us here at these inaugural bbc�*s green sport awards, thank you for watching and good night. hello there.
