is our weather front across north—west england down into wales, a few scattered showers, that front is going to sink steadily south and east, as we go through the night, so blanket of cloud and some rain, some pepping up blanket of cloud and some rain, some pepping up for a time across essex and kent and maybe into east anglia, behind it clearer skies and a few scattered showers, so a contrast in the temperatures. chilly start in scotland by contrast in comparison to the night passed. double digit into the south—east. early morning rain easing away, for the majority it will be a dry, settled sunny day, by the owned the afternoon more wet weather pushing into the far north and west. temperatures similar values to much of the week really, 11-17 the values to much of the week really, 11—17 the high. as we move into friday it is all about low pressure and low pressure stays with us for the weekend as well. so the isobars squeezing together the winds picking up squeezing together the winds picking up and there will be some rain round as well. so, it looks likely that

the wettest of the weather, the strongest of the winds in scotland, northern ireland, 40, 50mph gust, drierfurther northern ireland, 40, 50mph gust, drier further south northern ireland, 40, 50mph gust, drierfurther south and northern ireland, 40, 50mph gust, drier further south and east, temperatures again generally between 10-17, temperatures again generally between 10—17, rememberthat low temperatures again generally between 10—17, remember that low pressure i was talking about dominating the story and that rather messy weather picture, well it looks as though the plait will be one of sunshine, showers and winds for all of us, as we go through the weekend. sophie. sophie. thanks louise. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website, from the six team it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm laura mcghie. major issues in premiership rugby? wasps are set to become the second top flight club to go into administration within weeks.

a big mac katie mcknight ahead as i brought some of the permit ahead. england edge world champions australia to take an unassailable lead in their three—match t20 series. also coming up in the programme. ten yea rs ten years in the making, britain and savannah marshall and american clarissa shields said to renew rivalries again. and the remarkable rise of ufc fighter leon edwards — just the second british man to win a world title. improving to know you have zero champion. that is, anything is possible. hello and welcome to

sportsday, i'm laura mcghie. it's another dark day for premiership rugby, just a few weeks after worcester warriors' suspension and relegation to next seasons championship, financially troubled wasps have announced they are likely to go into administration "within days". wasps had been hopeful of securing new funding to help with the thirty five million pounds debt owed to bond holders — our sports editor dan roanjoins us live, and wasps have admitted there is likely to be insufficient time to find a solvent solution? how worrying times are these for rugby? that are these for rugby? is right, yes, the financial crisis that is right, yes, the financial crisis that is gripping english club rugby is indeed intensifying and wasps, they have confirmed effectively that they have run out of time and run out of money and it is likely that they will go into administration in their fixture against exeter at the weekend, they say, cannot be fulfilled. they are

one of the number of membership clubs that have gotten themselves into serious months of debts and what they do face is that the £5 million a bit of their struggle to pay back to bond lenders linked to the move here in the coventry of the southeast of 2014 and they've also been pursued by an unpaid tax bill of some £2 million and thought of millions of pounds and indeed, the government in the form of covid—19 loans and received during the pandemic. they have been in talks with potential interested parties and the billionaire of newcastle united in football is thought to be among those that have been holding talks with management here and despite being with the most famous names in the whole of rugby, six—time women's champion, the issue

that bleak statement today, three weeks ago, their first submitted their intent to go into administration and that bought them some time in the hope is that one of the potentials providing some bridging loan to keep them afloat but they admitted defeat and that but they admitted defeat and that but they admitted defeat and that but they do say that they're still confident that there could be a rescue deal and some fresh investments could be found. to worrying is this the sport of rugby? it is very worrying because the second is many weeks to face the prospect of automatic delegations and often going into administration and often going into administration and last week, for administration being suspended and premier ships and partly wound up their business and partly wound up their business and high court hearing, all staff

and all players made redundant and their contracts are terminated and they are lost their jobs with their contracts are terminated and they are lost theirjobs with them automatically relegated and this serves to reinforce the mounting concerns of the sustainability and the governance of club finances but two cases of slightly different it has to be said that there's been allegations of mismanagement on the part of two owners and allegations that they deny but also they have been facing an unpaid tax of £6 million alongside other debts and they will have growing concerns of they will have growing concerns of the impact of covid—19 of the amount of money that goes on salaries, who actually owns these clubs in the general profitability of the club game whether or not moore should've been done by the games authorities in premiership rugby in particular. 0nto a big night of champions league football and to ibrox where rangers

and liverpool meet again tonight. jurgen klopp�*s side won when they met last week in what was their first ever competitive game but although they're in a qualifying position in the champions league — domestically liverpool are struggling. they sit 10th in the premier league, and it led to a tetchy exchange during klopp�*s prematch news conference... this is a tough situation but it is a challenge we face is all these challenges we go forward. all of the people after last season, that we go again and be compete with everything but now it's not the case. i cannot promise that we will fly tomorrow but i can't promise that we will fight, definitely. untilsay until summons is over. until say until someonne says the fight is over. well, as for rangers, they are yet to score or take

a point from any of their three matches — sitting bottom of group a, with any champions league wiggle room gone. our sports news correspondent chris mclaughlin is outside ibrox. very much a manager under pressure and rangers bottom of group b, no goals, no points and rangers manager very much a man not under pressure and that gives you an idea of the expectations here in glasgow in the first foray into the champions league group stages for some time and they are playing well domestically, we know that liverpool and the thoughts of giovanni are ahead of the skin this evening. we need to attack but we need to defend really well _ need to attack but we need to defend really well because we are playing against _ really well because we are playing against this team and i think it will be — against this team and i think it will be a — against this team and i think it will be a very active game and as we always— will be a very active game and as we always play— will be a very active game and as we always play at home and again, ibrox crowd _ always play at home and again, ibrox crowd will— always play at home and again, ibrox crowd will definitely push us to

another— crowd will definitely push us to another good performance. ranges reall have another good performance. ranges really have to _ another good performance. ranges really have to go _ another good performance. ranges really have to go for _ another good performance. ranges really have to go for this _ another good performance. ranges really have to go for this evening i really have to go for this evening if they are to progress in the europa league, they need points badly. giovanni saying that they will go to to toe with liverpool and last week at anfield, 2—0 and the school captive much respectable in the rangers point view and at ibrox this evening, the stadium is well and very famous for creating noise, especially on like these. tottenham hotpsur play eintracht frankfurt at home in their pivotal group game this evening. spurs are currently second in group d, level with bundesliga side frankfurt on four points but are one point clear of last placed marseille and trail leaders sporting lisbon by two points. 5 live's alastair bruce—ball is there for us — a win for spurs will give their hopes of qualifying a massive boost?

yes, frankfurt and germany last week, and finished 0—0 in frankfurt had a few chances in tottenham had a majority of them cannot take the chances and have not really found full fluency at any point in the season but they are winning the majority of their games and the manager said, majority of their games and the managersaid, it majority of their games and the manager said, it is an important one tonight and sporting come here and a couple weeks' time and it's an tottenham prosperous times that if anyone can beat anyone, there's been pressure on this evening. tell anyone can beat anyone, there's been pressure on this evening.— pressure on this evening. tell us how they feel — pressure on this evening. tell us how they feel if _ pressure on this evening. tell us how they feel if they _ pressure on this evening. tell us how they feel if they can - pressure on this evening. tell us how they feel if they can beat. pressure on this evening. tell us - how they feel if they can beat them? if their way from home, i remember watching them in the europa league, their league form has not been great, they sit at eight in the bundesliga and the team beat them 3-0 at bundesliga and the team beat them 3—0 at the weekend and so, in that instance, that is not pointed to much but away from home in europe,

particularly last season but the season as well, the season came out and chief commander, the japanese international is the one i feel is the one to watch.— the one to watch. thank you very much for that _ the one to watch. thank you very much for that update. _ now, they may be flying in la liga but are they flopping in the champions league? barcelona need a win against inter milan this evening after losing to them in italy last week. that loss, left them third in their group c table, behind both inter and bayern, so they need to start winning if they're not to be eliminated at the group stage for a second successive year. 0ur reporterjohn bennett is here — how important is tonight's match for barcelona? it is massive for barcelona, there will be out if they lose and f to avoid defeat against victoria and they took a lot of gambles in the summer, barcelona, because they are in a perilous economic situation and he gambled on the fact that they

have a very successful season. so, not getting into the successful seasons of the champions league would be horrendous for them and surely, you would expect them to have to sell one or two key players in january if that have to sell one or two key players injanuary if that happens. so, it is huge for them and they are in good form in liga, they're in good form at home as well and they have not lost since may but the pressure is on for the head coach at the final step there are an awful lot of clubs on the cusp of dropping out of the europa league. they said it was boring but we are seeing a lot of giant struggling. juventus are the ones to watch, they needed a miracle in the last couple of games in the group to go through and they've got benfica and perry st. germain to be opponents in the loss last night 2-0, opponents in the loss last night 2—0, one of the worst results he conceived the disappointed players in the delighted fans, where the worst results in the recent history

and there is a real low at the moment. there is sticking by their coach, 7 million euros a year, so take a lot to pay him off in compensation. at the moment, he is staying as a manager but it is a crisis forjuventus. staying as a manager but it is a crisis for juventus.— staying as a manager but it is a crisis for juventus. crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with _ crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with benfica _ crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with benfica but _ crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with benfica but there - crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with benfica but there is l crisis forjuventus. they score a draw with benfica but there is a j crisis forjuventus. they score a i draw with benfica but there is a lot of uncertainty over kylian mbappe. lots of reports in france and spain that he wants to leave the club and in january, that he wants to leave the club and injanuary, he was said to be unhappy and he is clearly unhappy. now the tactics, he says he has more freedom plane for france and does not like playing is the number nine for perry st. germain and it's not like in a hierarchy of the club, they're denying all this and saying he is not for sale in that he is going to leave but this is something thatis going to leave but this is something that is going to ramble on and kylian mbappe has been working with the charity foundation and the town in france but no word from him yet

to confirm or deny these rumours but kylian mbappe is unhappy at perry st. germain. the football association of ireland and the republic of ireland have apologised for any offence caused by a pro—ira song sung by the players after last night's women's world cup qualifying win over scotland. footage released on social media showed the team celebrating in the changing room at hampden park after the match. in a statement manager vera po said "we apologise from the bottom of our hearts to anyone who's been offended" and that they will "remind" the players of their responsibilities. we are sincerely deeply sorry for what happened and it does not matter if the players meant anything or not because they did not mean anything with that, it is a celebration and that occurs. but that does not mean that occurs. but that does not mean that they should not be, not realising what they're doing. and it

is also not to put social media and if it's in a private room, it should not happen either. because of having respect for everybody and respect for the history. to cricket now and england won their t20 series against world champions australia with a match to spare in canberra. dawid malan and sam curran were the stars for england. australia needed 179 to win but fell nine runs short to give england an unassaliable 2—nil lead in the series asjoe wilson reports. reaching for the stars here just butler. what is the field or beneath the balljust as england struggled early on. they constructed the recovery with an impeccably timed 82. support from natalie and the ball was still travelling fast when he reached the crowd and not easy fielding, is it? trying to make the catch was david warner, he hit the

ground hard and passed a concussion test before coming out to bat. australia needed 179 to win, warner made just four and it was a shaky start. it soon, england were trying to restrain mitchell in the observed ben stokes not out but not six. midair magic. tim david continued the chase and t 20 cricketers throwing up but they would never beat this. david wright sam finished it behind in these winning moments build momentum. let's have a quick look at some of the the day's other sports stories and we'll stay with cricket. liam livingstone, willjacks and keatonjennings have been named in the england squad for the three—test series in pakistan in december. lancashire'sjennings played the most recent of his 17 tests in 2019 and has been rewarded for a fine county championship season. var will make it's debut in scottish football at hibernian�*s premiership meeting with stjohnstone. the start date was originally set for after the world cup

but after nearly three years of testing it has been brought forward to begin with the match at easter road next friday. the british ineos grenadiers cycling team have signed their first female rider — multi—discipline, multiple world champion pauline ferrand—prevot. the 30—year—old frenchwoman has won road, cyclocross and gravel world titles. and says she's targeting an olympic gold medal on home soil at paris 2024. great britain have won three out of three so far at the wheelchair rugby world championship. after victories over switzerland and germany, the paralympic champions beat new zealand 55—50 earlier today in denmark. they'll take on france in their fourth match tonight. it's an undisputed clash between two elite fighters, that has been 10 years in the making.

on saturday, britain's savannah marshall and american clarissa shields will fight there is a real sense of deja vu about this because a month ago, the mentor of the said piece media events, that the public workouts and press conferences and exchanged verbal blows before they got on the scales, the god information that the bible be postponed and they met in the sports bar and hostilities resumed. both fighters of the last information and overtraining, savannah marshall said when she got news of the postponement, it was horrible. i news of the postponement, it was horrible. ., ., , horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on horrible. i had done the full camp, l was on wait _ horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on wait for _ horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on wait for the _ horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on wait for the way - horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on wait for the way in - horrible. i had done the full camp, i was on wait for the way in and i was emotionally drained. i worked very hard — was emotionally drained. i worked very hard for this and not a lot of adrenaline and a week off to get out of bed _ adrenaline and a week off to get out of bed for— adrenaline and a week off to get out of bed for three days and then back
