east quite quickly, with some showers coming into the north and west, but compared with this week, really it day. with temperatures back down to what they should be at this time of year. does it last? no. the weekend brings in this low pressure which is the remnants of storm martin which will bring wet and windy weather at times to us as well as some rather large waves on saturday night into sunday. saturday brings another land of rain eastwards, slowing down as it approaches the south and east. brighter weather following on behind. temperatures about average. because it is bonfire evening. are we going to get any dry weather? probably, between our weather front which is starting to clear away and the next a group of showers coming in. a rather unsettled picture this weekend, some large waves on saturday night and into sunday and some rather large amounts of rainfall potentially in the south and east once again. we will keep an eye on that. and that is it from the

bbc news at six. it is now time to join our teens across the nations and good evening. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. our headlines this evening: a "national crisis". the cost of living takes its toll on sport, whether you're playing a part or putting it on. fuel has gone up, food has gone up, energy bills have gone up. people are really genuinely struggling. they don't know what to do, they don't know where to go. first the men, then the women, and now the wheelchair tournament is the third of the three rugby league world cups to get under way. while this one's nearly done, and england's lineup for their semifinal throws up a couple of surprises. also coming up in the programme: an iconic image of any football world cup, but maybe not this one.

why brazil's jersey might be jilted by their own fans. hello again. woke to sportsday on this thursday evening. the cost of living crisis could be about to have a huge impact on sport — both those providing it and those participating in it. many people can no longer afford membership of fitness centres, potentially affecting their physical and mental health, while dozens of leisure centres, swimming pools and gyms could be forced close this winter as a result of soaring energy costs. that could lead to a cut of 40%

in some public sector leisure services over the next five months, according to the trade body uk active, while that could go up to around three quarters by the time we get to march 202a. some of those that run the services say those cuts are inevitable because of hikes of up to 400% in their bills. and it's notjust the public sector, with private enterprises and charitable organisations also struggling to find the money to put on their sessions. our sports news correspondent laura scott went to see marcellus baz, who runs one of them out of his gym in mansfield. people have been really struggling and people have not recovered, and then you had further cuts to children's services, youth services. there have been cuts all over the place, and then with the cost of living crisis, it'sjust the place, and then with the cost of living crisis, it's just the last thing, it's the nail that hit you on the head. fuel has gone up, food has gone up, energy bills have gone up. people are really generally struggling. i don't know what to do, they don't know where to go, and this is why it is so important that

services like this continue to serve the community and help those people that really need it. i feel absolutely dotted, i really feel absently gutted, but as i know that the value a person gets from coming here, i know how this place can change their lives, places like this across the country can change peoples lives, and we have got to do something about it as a society, as a community, as a government. we've got to look at this and we've got to make changes. lipa nessa is from the youth sport trust, who have sent a letter to the prime minister saying there's a "national crisis" around sport provision and partication which threatens the physical and mental health of millions of people. we have heard one example just there from mansfield. tell us a little bit more about what you've been seeing and hearing over the last few weeks. there has been a lot going on in the nation so far. there is too much that we do not have time to speak about it, i will speak on a few

points. the younger generation are still bearing the brunt of covid and we are still left with scars, and unfortunately the scars have not healed yet, and we feel as though the government are letting us down again and again and again. we want a voice in these conversations that the government are having. why is there not a young person speaking up on our behalf? why are there not activists out there speaking on how we can help eliminate half of these problems, and actually, am problems, and actually, i know i am saying all of this, but i'm a grassroots football coach and i've seen this at grassroots level, to the point that i do not take a salary for coaching football any more, i volunteer my time so every child has access to sport outside the curriculum. and bring it back to the curriculum. and bring it back to the curriculum, unfortunately, schools are really, really struggling out there, they're struggling out there, they're struggling to make ends meet, and unfortunately they have to look in

other pockets to see where they can get funding from and i hope and i really do hope the money from sport and pe in schools are not taken. because if that's gone, what do young people have? you've outlined some of the problems and there will be myriad ways of attempted to fix it, it is impossible to think ofjust one, but you have sent a letter to the prime minister. what do you hope that governments, that other people can do to help sort this? i am governments, that other people can do to help sort this?— do to help sort this? i am here today because _ do to help sort this? i am here today because i _ do to help sort this? i am here today because i present - do to help sort this? i am here today because i present the i do to help sort this? i am here i today because i present the youth sports trust, as the chair of the youth board, but also a person of this generation around the uk, asking the prime minister to take urgent action and deliver on his pledges. ensure sports and physical activity is not taken out of young people's lives. we do not want to substitute any more, we have been

deprived of sport the physical activity, due to covid but also budget cuts. why do we have to suffer? we are not the generation that should be suffering and i think no one should be suffering, the why is it always us? why is there no leeway for us to listen to young people and apply it into policy? why is it we are always left out? and today we asked the prime minister to deliver his promises around pe and sport and protect its funding beyond this academic year mr prime minister, i'm speaking to you as a young person. please do something. i am waiting for your response. we young person. please do something. i am waiting for your response.- am waiting for your response. we are very grateful — am waiting for your response. we are very grateful for— am waiting for your response. we are very grateful for you _ am waiting for your response. we are very grateful for you joining _ am waiting for your response. we are very grateful for you joining us i am waiting for your response. we are very grateful for you joining us on i very grateful for you joining us on sportsday, that is lipa nessa from the youth sports trust. the rugby league world cup has reached its full capacity today.

the men's competition was joined by the women earlier this week, and now the third of the three tournaments has begun. and wheelchair rugby league is genuinely a sport like no other. matt graveling is at the copper box watching the opening match. matt, over to you. opening match indeed, it is _ matt, over to you. opening match indeed, it is spain _ matt, over to you. opening match indeed, it is spain versus - matt, over to you. opening match indeed, it is spain versus ireland. | indeed, it is spain versus ireland. despite being seated lower down the rankings, the irish about to enact this quite comfortably, i think it is fair to say. the last time i looked at the scoreboard, it was about 55—32, but the score is irrelevant today, and i will tell you why. this is the first sunday wheelchair tournament has been held alongside the men's and women's tournaments, so be huge platform for the sport for a little bit later, we will see the game between england and australia. a rematch of the 2008 world cup, and he had coached jones enough of the ossie's in town, got to be confident, though. ellery to be confident, though. very confident. — to be confident, though. very confident, but _ to be confident, though. very confident, but it _ to be confident, though. very confident, but it is _ to be confident, though. very confident, but it is the - to be confident, though. very confident, but it is the biggest challenge in world sport, is the

morning our time in auckland. claudia macdonald and hannah botterman are brought in for a meeting with the only remaining amateur side in the tournament. our reporterjo currie is in new zealand for us. here at the england team hotel in downtown auckland we have just had the squad press conference at head of their world cup semifinal against canada on saturday. simon minerals and making two changes. i am joined by world cup winner in 2013. he first of those changes is claudia macdonald coming back on the wing, with lydia thompson dropping out of the matchday squad altogether. what did you make of that? super the matchday squad altogether. what did you make of that?— did you make of that? super excited for claudia- — did you make of that? super excited for claudia. she _ did you make of that? super excited for claudia. she really _ did you make of that? super excited for claudia. she really takes - did you make of that? super excited for claudia. she really takes on i for claudia. she really takes on opportunities, she is a try scoring machine. as a back three, claudia is the most experience in that back three, normally a centre and a tent full—back, abby, injured, on the otherwing, full—back, abby, injured, on the other wing, so as a combo, all they are very exciting, i would've gone for a lydia thompson player in

a player to be picked in that position. a player to be picked in that osition. . . . , ., ., position. the canadians... how do ou see position. the canadians... how do you see this _ position. the canadians... how do you see this one _ position. the canadians... how do you see this one playing _ position. the canadians... how do you see this one playing out? i i position. the canadians... how do | you see this one playing out? i see encland you see this one playing out? i see england winning. _ you see this one playing out? i see england winning. not _ you see this one playing out? i see england winning. notjust - you see this one playing out? w" england winning. notjust like i want them to! but i think that the england pack is stronger. canada, the on the amateur side left in the tournament, so fitness may play a factor in the second half, but england will comfortably win this one. , , ., , ., ., one. this is quite a young england side, a lot — one. this is quite a young england side. a lot of— one. this is quite a young england side, a lot of those _ one. this is quite a young england side, a lot of those players - one. this is quite a young england side, a lot of those players have l side, a lot of those players have not played in world cup before. just briefly, how do they keep on and don't ahead skip ahead to a final? they “ust have to, skip ahead to a final? they “ust have to. you i skip ahead to a final? they “ust have to, you cannot i skip ahead to a final? they “ust have to, you cannot thing i skip ahead to a final? theyjust| have to, you cannot thing about skip ahead to a final? theyjust i have to, you cannot thing about the final, it is disciplines that. if you think about the final, you don't get there, because you are in the semi —— think about the final, it is as simple as that. semi -- think about the final, it is as simple as that.— as simple as that. thank you very much forjoining _ as simple as that. thank you very much forjoining us. _ as simple as that. thank you very much forjoining us. she - as simple as that. thank you very much forjoining us. she will- as simple as that. thank you very much forjoining us. she will be i much forjoining us. she will be part of the five live commentary team on saturday, bring you both

semifinals. and then having candidate is at 3:30am in the morning, so get your alarm set! —— england— canada. jo currie, thank you. not far away from there in australia, we're on the verge of the semifinals at the t20 world cup. and with only one match to play in the super 12 stage, none of the four have been decided. a combination of competitive teams and a capricious climate has prevented any of the teams in contention from sealing their place. south africa could have done that today in sydney but lost for the first time in the tournament to pakistan, who on the other hand had to win and launched a recovery after being 118—4 — with iftikhar ahmed hitting the biggest six of the tournament, 106 metres over the leg—side. they posted 185—9 and then took regular wickets to deny south africa in a chase — like some many in the tournament — shortened by rain. pakistan won by 33 runs on the dls method. so nobody�*s qualified yet from group

2, nor has anyone from group 1, which will get sorted in the next couple of days. england know that a win would practically guarentee their progress because their net run—rate is significantly better than australia's. however, it could still come down to a three—way tussle between the hosts, new zealand and england. here's bowler chris woakes. t20 is a fickle, fickle game, you need to make sure you start well and get into the game, because otherwise momentum can build and it can get away from you. yeah, really important we focus on the scene in front of us on saturday. they will be desperate to win as well, so we have to come in and put a performance in like we did against new zealand, and we will obviously try to do that. one of football's most decorated players has announced their retirement. gerard pique, who started his professional career at manchester united,

says he'll stop playing after barcelona's final pre—world cup match at the weekend. pique is a central defender that won 35 trophies in all, including four champions leagues with barca, as well as a world cup and european champoionship with spain. he says that "now that that child's dreams have been fulfilled, "i have decided that it is time to close the circle." well, pique's former team are trying to guarantee their place in the last 16 of the europa league. manchester united qualify from their group but need to beat leaders real sociedad to have a chance of taking their place at the top, which could be crucial. united lead of 1—0 at half—time, alejandra garnacho with a goal, his first for united. if united manage to win by two more goals, they go automatically through to the last 16. anything less and they'll finish second in the group. that would mean a tie against one of the teams dropping down from the champions league.

the task is simpler for arsenal. they kick off against zurich at 8pm, knowing they must match or better psv eindhoven's result to win the group and guarantee that place in the last 16. the dutch side are away at bodo glimt — that match also kicks off at 8pm. in the europa conference league, west ham have already won their group and booked their place in the last 16 with a game to spare. they play fcsb in romania in their final group match tonight. hearts' european adventure is over. they were already out before their final group match against istanbul basa ksehir. their campaign ended in defeat. youssouf ndayishimiye put the home side ahead in turkey, before serder gurler made it 2—0 before half—time. berkay 0zcan made it 3—0 — before nathaniel atkinson got one back for hearts. but they lost 3—1 and finish third in their group. you're watching sportsday. here are some of our other stories today. hull have appointed former player liam rosenior as their new head coach.

he replaces shota arveladze, who was sacked by the championship club in september. and his first game in charge will be at millwall on saturday with the team just above the bottom three. forest green rovers are one of several clubs whose players will be wearing yellow laces this weekend to demand an end to gambling ads and sponsorship in football. they are playing south shields in the fa cup, which is live on the bbc. and a new women's nations league will launch next autumn, with uefa announcing an overhaul to the international game in europe. teams will be split into three tiers and the top two of each of the league a groups will qualify directly for the women's euros. well, beth mead, part of the current european champions, of course, will be looking forward to that competition. the men's world cup, on the other hand, is a different matter, with the arsenal forward telling the bbc she had hoped the tournament wouldn't be going ahead in qatar. the country has faced criticism for its stance on human rights

and the lgbtq+ community. and mead admits qatar's values don't align with what she stands for. from the minute it was announced, i thought, is not the best idea. i think, obviously, the way they think and how they go is complete opposite to what i believe and respect, and although i am cheering for the boys, who are going to play football there, i still don't think it is the right place, but unfortunate money talks. any situation even of the teams being built and the number of people that have passed because of that, it is not an ideal situation, it's not something that i will be backing or promoting. we're a week away from gareth southgate naming his england squad for the world cup. and amongst those he might be biting his nails about is ben chilwell. the left back suffered a hamstring injury in chelsea's win over dinamo zagreb in the champions league last night. the defender pulled up in stoppage time, clutching the back of his leg, and left stamford bridge on crutches.

it's notjust england who are facing the prospect of having to do without players. germany striker timo werner�*s been ruled out today, while, with just 17 days to go now, tottenham's south korea forward son heung—min faces a race to be fit. he'll need surgery to stabilise a fracture around his left eye after sustaining the injury in their champions league win at marseille this week. spurs haven't put a timescale on the recovery of a player who's a huge deal in his home country. ifi if i put it one word, it is unimaginable for korean fans to play their world cup without son, and the news actually announced from tottenham at 5am korean time this morning. since then, all day, all media, all fans are talking about the news, and they are worried. they are talking about whether son can come back before the world cup or not, all day. it is notjust the

sports news for korea, it's the national news and all the country are worried about him. son is the best player for korea and only the best player for korea and only the best player for korea and only the best player but he is a symbol, and he is a spiritual leader of the team, symbol of the preparation for the world cup is based on son. —— symbol of the team, all of the preparation. if we think about it without him at the moment, it is unimaginable, so it is beyond worry, beyond chuck. when i see the games at the moment, players are at the moment, the players are worried about missing the world cup, and the fans are worried, so it is terrible timing and i believe this timing of the workup is sad. it is not for the fans, not for the fans, and it should not happen again, in my opinion —— this timing of the world cup is sad, it is not for the players.

so often a colourful part of any world cup, in qatar, you might see a lot less of the famous green and yellow brazil shirt. already an iconicjersey known the world over, in brazil itself, it has taken on a significance that means that some fans have decided not to wear it to the tournament — or indeed at all. dan 0gunshakin has the story. of the countless with full shirts throughout the years, few if any are more evocative than brazil's iconic jersey. palais, socrates, or mario, ronaldo, all epitomised the pitiful game and did so in the famous yellow. 0nce game and did so in the famous yellow. once a similar national unity, in recent years the shirt has come to represent something else entirely —— beautiful game. it entirely —— beautiful game. tit really starts with those mass to miss 2013, that happened in protest of the confederations cup. these began as nonparty political menstruation from. many people were wearing the yellow shirts and they were saying about my political party is resilient, and the right saw there an opportunity. ever since 2013, we've seen this tendency from

the far right to appropriate both the far right to appropriate both the flag and the yellow shirts as symbols belonging exclusively to that side of the political divide. the election victory of lula da silva has left the country bitterly divided. unbridledjoy silva has left the country bitterly divided. unbridled joy on the left and the despair on the right. the world cup has long been a unifying force in brazil, but the question is whether the yellow shirt can become a symbol for all again. the whether the yellow shirt can become a symbol for all again.— a symbol for all again. the world cu is a symbol for all again. the world cup is the _ a symbol for all again. the world cup is the biggest _ a symbol for all again. the world cup is the biggest symbol - a symbol for all again. the world cup is the biggest symbol of i cup is the biggest symbol of brazilian patriotism, so this is the moment where this whole debate about the yellow shirts takes on most significance, and it is going be fascinating to see what happens. this country needs to go through a process. it is not going to be possible, ifear, to bring everybody along with that, but the world cup, i hope, can bring a significant amount of people on both sides of the political divide together the wearing the yellow shirt together, sharing some kind of conception of a

future together. for sharing some kind of conception of a future together.— future together. for once the appearance — future together. for once the appearance of— future together. for once the appearance of brazil- future together. for once the appearance of brazil star i future together. for once the i appearance of brazil star neymar might not be the great unifier. the psu forward was a public supporter of former presidentjair bolsonaro. of former president jair bolsonaro. he of former presidentjair bolsonaro. he has put himself in the firing line. i think brazil's coach would much rather he had not done that, trying to play down the issue, saying everyone has the right to vote for whoever they want, what we do not want this to be an issue inside our camp. it will now be an inside our camp. it will now be an inside the camp because neymar has made it so, but i think was the team gets together, it is a long, long way from brazil, qatar, the team will be fully focused on winning the tournament, so i see this as much more a problem of the perception of the team in the eyes of some than the team in the eyes of some than the performance of the team on the field. ., ., .,, ,., ., field. football has the power to brini field. football has the power to bring people — field. football has the power to bring people together. - field. football has the power to bring people together. in i field. football has the power to l bring people together. in current brazil, that idea is going to be tested more than ever. dan 0gunshakin, bbc news. two of great britain's historic women's team are back to try and win more medals
