that we have seen for over a decade. there are signs of a change coming up there are signs of a change coming up in a few days's time. the high pressure with us start to loosen its grip and as we head into the weekend and eventually we will start to see milder air pushing in from the west but before we get there the weather could cause some disruption overnight with ice for parts of eastern scotland and northern ireland too. we do have showers at the momentjust running into some of these low temperatures, so things could get very icy. mist and fog patches to watch out for as well. for some of you a bit of a slow start tomorrow, as the day goes by a better chance of seeing drier weather pushing in. after the cold and icy start. another day where temperatures will struggle to get above freezing, plymouth is the exception, 7 degrees here as the wind picks up. a weather system will push through the english channel as we go through the evening tomorrow, we go through the evening tomorrow, we are watching that because at the

in qatar , here's what's coming up on sportsday gareth southgate says he's conflicted about staying on with after a difficult 18 months in thejob the world cup rolls on without england, we'll look at the final four here in qatar and i'm sarah mulkerrins at the bbc sport centre — also coming up in the programme. china's yan bingtao has been suspended from the world snooker tour as part of an investigation into alleged match—fixing.. and there's an historic victory for england's cricketers — as they win again to clinch the test series in pakistan. good evening , this time next week we will have a world champion.

the semi—finals that start tomorrow will be a hard watch for england's players if they can bear it, and gareth southgate, in interviews that he gave over the weekend following their defeat to the french, he talked about his fluctuating emotions to the french, he talked about his fluctuating emotions after going out of major championships , three of them now, and he needs time for the them to settle before deciding whether he should continue he also spoke about how difficult the last 18 months has been after their defeat in what has become clear though , is that he has a tournament record to rival any of his predecessors when it comes to games won, 11, more than sir alf ramsey, but off course a trophy has eluded

southgate's england, which is the b—all and end all, and opinion is split as to whether he should carry on. here's the former fa chairman greg dyke his record for england manager is significantly better than anyone has been probably since sir alice ramsey. been probably since sir alice ramse . ., ., ., , ramsey. you have to see we could say he's not with — ramsey. you have to see we could say he's not with us _ ramsey. you have to see we could say he's not with us enough. _ ramsey. you have to see we could say he's not with us enough. but - ramsey. you have to see we could say he's not with us enough. but then - he's not with us enough. but then you could also say someone who is ruthless don't get on with the players at all. he is clearly a very good national manager. and there is no guarantee we get someone better to replace him. it no guarantee we get someone better to replace him-— to replace him. it would certainly ut the to replace him. it would certainly put the fa _ to replace him. it would certainly put the fa in _

of having just crushed out of it workup. already as we see coming out of this despite coming out of this is positives are. that is all the players he is positives in the next euros that they fancy themselves to win. if they have to do that under a new manager with new ideas and new plans the whole thing is up in the air. so it is a ratio really crucial air. so it is a ratio really crucial a few weeks for england football. because it really is a southgate team. ., , , , because it really is a southgate team. . , , , ,�* team. that is his imprint isn't it? not to say _ team. that is his imprint isn't it? not to say that — team. that is his imprint isn't it? not to say that there _ team. that is his imprint isn't it? not to say that there isn't - team. that is his imprint isn't it? not to say that there isn't good l not to say that there isn't good managers out there there are. but the fa would like them to be english and that pool has diminished. so it would be difficult. not to say that someone couldn't take the steam on. but that the momenta, if you looked at it, it would appear to be seamless coming out of this tournament. 18 months to a new european championships with the same manager rather than new manager. it

would be a shame if gareth, which she would be in his rights to do, if it wasn't for him. mira; she would be in his rights to do, if it wasn't for him.— she would be in his rights to do, if it wasn't for him. why do you think it is different? _ it wasn't for him. why do you think it is different? what _ it wasn't for him. why do you think it is different? what do _ it wasn't for him. why do you think it is different? what do you - it wasn't for him. why do you think it is different? what do you think l it is different? what do you think has made him think twice over the last 18 months? he has made him think twice over the last 18 months?— has made him think twice over the last 18 months? he said what it is. aart last 18 months? he said what it is. apart from — last 18 months? he said what it is. apart from the _ last 18 months? he said what it is. apart from the general _ last 18 months? he said what it is. apart from the general tiredness l last 18 months? he said what it is. i apart from the general tiredness and fatigue you get coming out of a tournament for some parts of that is what happened between this year, preceding this tournament. meaning the difficult nations leak campaign and the reaction to that. he was booed by the home supporters when we lost 4—0 to hungary. he was booed and that has not left his mind. he was booed again when england lost in milan in september. and that has not left his mind either. he said to us on saturday some of the things said and written mixing things about what you want to go again. he and written mixing things about what you want to go again.— you want to go again. he has about two ears you want to go again. he has about two years on _ you want to go again. he has about two years on his — you want to go again. he has about two years on his contract. - you want to go again. he has about two years on his contract. that - you want to go again. he has about two years on his contract. that is l two years on his contract. that is what the fa at once. you think the

argentina, croatia, morocco and france are just one match away from the chance to play for footballs biggest prize. on tuesday argentina face croatia as lionel messi looks the puts on what could be his final world cup. it has been 36 years since argentina last work met won the trophy. a full year before the unit messi was born. but there are few teams with the resiliency of croatia. tough to break down and ruthless in a penalty shoot—out. if you want to beat them you better do it before it gets that. and they can take confidence from their last meeting. a 3—0 win over argentina on their way to the world cup final in 2018. translation: ~ ., 2018. translation: ~ . ., ., translation: we have faith that eve hinr translation: we have faith that everything will — translation: we have faith that everything will go _ translation: we have faith that everything will go well. _ translation: we have faith that everything will go well. it - translation: we have faith that everything will go well. it is - translation: we have faith that everything will go well. it is not . everything will go well. it is not easy to get here. we have had to play many games and do some but since the world cup in russia we are doing well.

we do prefer when there is football and it goods going again tomorrow. i will be back a little later in the programme lets get back to bbc sports centre because it has been a very busy day. let's get to the cricket then — where there was another thrilling end to a test match in pakistan, with england's men clinching the win in the second test in multan by 26 runs. the tourists began day four with the match in the balance, needing six wickets to win... a fantastic spell from mark wood almost got them there... he took three wickets, before ollie robinson got mohammad ali out to seal the victory and with it wrap up a series victory. it's the first time england have won two consecutive tests in pakistan. we all understand what we have achieved today. and to come to pakistan and win is obviously very difficult and it turned out to be

very difficult. it could not have gone any better for us in these first two games. it is another great game to be part of. so, history made in pakistan, a fantastic win for england and for captain ben stokes. earlier i spoke to alex hartley, former england cricketer, who is part of the test match special team. and she says stokes is going to go down in history and couldn't have said they want to play entertaining crickets and that is exactly what happened. there were twists and turns it was like being on a roller coaster. going into the england thought they were in control they would get a big wicket and win this game comfortably and easily especially after the previous three indians had gone. pakistan did not allow that to happen. but england did finally manage to get the breakthrough and when bike 26 months runs. the bowler was fantastic today. he is not bullock that was

recently. today. he is not bullock that was recentl . �* ., ~' recently. alex do you think you would have _ recently. alex do you think you would have predicted _ recently. alex do you think you would have predicted this - recently. alex do you think you - would have predicted this turnaround from this england test team in the last eight and nine months or so? i think nobody would have predicted this turnaround from this england test team in the last 89 months or so? i think nobody would've predicted it because the bulk of players are the same from what it has been the previous nine months there been a few changes but it is all about mindset. they have been the same team but their mindset is probably different. and that is what ben stokes and brandon mcclelland have implemented. the manager came in and said i saw the talented team that they had but they didn't have the confidence. he said he change their mentality to have fun while they were doing it. do their mentality to have fun while they were doing it.— they were doing it. do you think there is an _ they were doing it. do you think there is an element _ they were doing it. do you think there is an element of - they were doing it. do you think there is an element of you - they were doing it. do you think there is an element of you are l there is an element of you are allowed to fail? you are allowed to make mistakes? that only works if it's ok when it doesn't work out? everybody loses. this england team were losing anyway the fact that they were losing is a bonus. if they had kept on losing everyone it would be like they were losing anyway. we

always criticise english port number to what they do but this team have had a remarkable turnaround. they will lose at some stage because they can't keep on winning. it is how they bounce back and deal with losing and how they deal with the fact they might lose a test match. because test match wicket goes on for five days and about date four or five you know what position you are in. we haven't had that yet with this england team. we it would be interesting to see how they react when it does happen. what interesting to see how they react when it does happen.— interesting to see how they react when it does happen. what do you think big lten _ when it does happen. what do you think big ben stokes _ when it does happen. what do you think big ben stokes will- when it does happen. what do you think big ben stokes will be - think big ben stokes will be thinking about his tenure as england captain? he thinking about his tenure as england ca tain? ., �* , , , captain? he won't believe this but he could easily _ captain? he won't believe this but he could easily go _ captain? he won't believe this but he could easily go down _ captain? he won't believe this but he could easily go down as - captain? he won't believe this but he could easily go down as one i captain? he won't believe this but he could easily go down as one of| he could easily go down as one of the best england captains of all time. because they have prevented chris test cricket. we talk about how dry test match cricket can be. it's it can be tedious and entertaining not entertaining when it goes a certain way. we want fans

to come and watch test match cricket. everyone who watches test match cricket next time with england knows it would be entertaining. they have reinvented the wheel when it comes to test cricket. ben stokes will be feeling confident. hope comes to test cricket. ben stokes will be feeling confident.- will be feeling confident. how far do ou will be feeling confident. how far do you think _ will be feeling confident. how far do you think you _ will be feeling confident. how far do you think you can _ will be feeling confident. how far do you think you can bring - will be feeling confident. how far do you think you can bring this i do you think you can bring this england team?— do you think you can bring this encland team? ~ ., ~ ., , , ., england team? who knows question mark he might— england team? who knows question mark he might dump _ england team? who knows question mark he might dump crack - england team? who knows question mark he might dump crack and - mark he might dump crack and crashing down at some stage. i guess the real test will be with the ashes in the summer when lupe australia. one of the best test team in the world. but we played india and beat them when they came over. i think we are show striking a number of teams. this style of cricket that we are paying is good. good news too for england's women — after winning the one day series against west indies 3—0, they eased to a victory by eight wickets in their first t20 match. set a target of 106 to win in antigua, they reached it with over seven overs to spare, opener danni wyatt starred with 59 not out offjust 3a balls.

now to snooker where the start of this week's english open has been overshadowed by the news that china's yan bingtao, the world number 16, who was due to play today, has been suspended from the world snooker tour with immediate effect because of allegations of manipulating the outcome of matches for betting purposes. five other chinese players were handed suspensions by snooker�*s governing body last week. chair of the wpbsa jason ferguson says they are tackling corruption in the game. every sport, there are people behind the scenes in every sport, trying to corrupt live sport every day of the world, every night of the week, it is going on all the time, and that is not about whether you are in the uk or wherever you are, there are various markets around the world where betting goes on and we have seen it in every sport, whether that is football, tennis, cricket, or the

sports have had issues. this is our issue to deal with today and we will deal with it and we will bring it out into the open and suspend players, hence the ongoing inquiry. now, let's get more on this story then — our reporter shabnam younes—jewell is with me. shabnam, must stress that these are allegations. how troublesome is this news for snooker? it does feel like it is a bit of a worrying time for a snooker when you hear about so many players being investigated. yan bingtao is the seventh to be suspended for this allegation. we had five players last week. i lots of them are not household names so you want of hurt from them. that followed the suspension of another they are suspended back in october. so, it seems new information has come to life and yan bingtao who is probably the most high—profile out of all of them is not suspended. which is why this story has now come to light and

come to attention of people. it sounds concerning for snooker that sounds concerning for snooker that so many people are suspended. but that the same time the governing body shows was a bit shows just how hard they are cracking down on the sort of thing. they are suspended players and carrying out this investigation. they would say they are doing all they can to find out what is going on to get to the bottom of this scandalous. yan bingtao is a high profile player, young and has achieved plenty in the sport — makes it all the more shocking? at the age of 22. yan bingtao is one of the most successful players to come out of china. he is touted as a future world champion. he, and all of these young players are the future of the sport. that is what is

being said about them. china's loves snooker and would be disappointed to hear what is going on. we have to stress from all these players have not been charged yet. there are allegations they have the right to appeal. yan bingtao is the a master champion and at the moment she cannot play because he is suspended. he is spearheading this generation of chinese talent. which is really concerning for a player like that to be on dirt this kind of scrutiny. we will have to wait and find out exactly what has happened and if any charges are brought. at the moment, people who watch snooker and our friends are going to be sitting at home and being slightly worried about the future of the sport. what are the governing body going to do? at the moment all they're saying is they are carrying out the investigation. they are not going to say anything else and make any

comments unless there is a significant development for some of the reason they interviewed yan bingtao today because new information came to light. they're looking into it and seeing whether anything else comes out of this. i don't think you will hear much more from anybody until there is a significant development in the story. it's been a turbulent few months for domestic rugby union in england — and today, the rfu have extended the deadline for the planned takeovers at wasps and worcester. the two premiership clubs went out of business this season, and the game's governing body now expects a decision ahead of christmas. on the back of this, there's been news too of a re—launch of premiership rugby to tackle the issues facing the league. so let's bring in sara orchard, our rugby union reporter. what does this flexibility tell us about the futures of both wasps and worcester? well yes sir everyone had the 12th of december in their diaries to stop

it is a small reprieve from both clubs today as they try to finalise their takeover deals which are ongoing. it shows from the r you want this resolved in a positive way. as they to progress with those takeovers from their preferred bidder as it is worth remembered that both had previously applied and were denied insolvency that would have see them return to the premiership if they had been allowed the reason the rfu had put that deal on the takeovers is they need to talk about the championship which is the lead below that both clubs could be pain in. irate the lead below that both clubs could be ain in. ~ ., the lead below that both clubs could be ain in. ~ . ., rugby unveiled today and what have premiership rugby unveiled today in hopes of avoiding this happing again? they have plans that have been

brought up by the leader of the organisation. betterfinancial organisation. better financial regulation, a organisation. betterfinancial regulation, a better agreement with the rugby football union. i better vision for the championship, the lead below the championship the bird below that chart premiership. they want to see the return of promotion and relegation which was scrapped due to covert. we have to remember, it was only a few weeks ago that rfu and the premiership were in been accused of being sleep asleep at the wheel while were sister went into administration. so change will be welcome. and it is clearly needed. aha, welcome. and it is clearly needed. a lot of people beat speaking about how do we stop this? and clubs will be looking to get more people into washer product. which is part of the

proposals today which are being spoken about. i know they're taking some expertise from the area of cricket. it some expertise from the area of cricket. , , , ., cricket. it might surprise a few --eole cricket. it might surprise a few people or _ cricket. it might surprise a few people or others _ cricket. it might surprise a few people or others might - cricket. it might surprise a few people or others might think l cricket. it might surprise a few. people or others might think it's the idea. the announced a gentleman robert calder. who was instrumental in the founding of a hundred cricket. he has nowjoined premiership rugby as their chief growth officer as a league looks to build. fan base. as a relaunch in 18 months' time. while that may seem like a long time away. it is going to come around very fast and they have a lot to do in that period. thank you is sarah orchard for joining us. and finally, emirates team new zealand has set a new wind powered land speed record. pilot glenn ashby sailed their land yacht horonuku at 222.akph to break the previous mark by 20km.

the team is now awaiting ratification of the record. the team decided to take on the challenge after their victory in the last america's cup. ashby says he's confident they can go even faster... what's a way to end my contribution to sports today. as head back to olly foster. sarah we are fast approaching these semifinals at the world cup. just for much to go. yes there is a third—place playoff. the one match no one wants to play in. this evening. i wonder where all those tens of thousands of morocco

and argentina fans are hiding themselves away around the other side of the area. it is slightly late in the events but it's a very not terrible nocturnal city. we are in the final week of the tournament. let's have a look at some of the other world cup headlines neymar has released private whatsapp messages between him and his brazil team—mates to refute reports that their were rifts in the squad. he didn't take a penalty in the shoot—out defeat to croatia but he's revealed the messages he says �*to show how united we were' england still have a representative at the world cup, premier league referee anthony taylor has been retained by fifa, that doesn't guarantee a match though. 11 others have been kept on. michael oliver has been released from the pool of officials luis de la fuente has been officially appointed as new spain manager. his predecessor luis enrique was sacked last week after their defeat

to morocco last week. de la fuente , who's coached the spanish youth teams , says �*if there is anyone who knows the present and future of spanish football, it's me' he has been within the spanish and set up for the last nine years. he has been given a two—year contract to go through it to the next euros. that is our top story with gareth southgate go to the next european championship? he revealed that he is into mines after their defeat to the french. he has had a difficult 18 months so he would let all those emotions settle, he says before he decides whether to honour the last two years of his contract. that is just about it for us from sparsely. tomorrow we will have the build—up

to the first of those semifinals. argentina versus croatia versus before morocco versus france on wednesday. but for me olly foster and the rest of sports team that is all for now goodbye. tha nkfully thankfully snow might much of the issue as it was last night. a few flurries around aggressive north of scotland. a few lighter flowers to go with little cloud missing us across north indolence and more northwest. partly clear skies and are spread wide fresh. —15 in aberdeenshire. skies will be clear until tomorrow morning. little cloud and fog took cross columns across the pen ines midlands and north wales. have your snow shares in the north of scotland through the day

which would drift down clipping parts of five and into the borders. most other parts will have a dry day. with some sunshine and some sunshine would be hazy because we have a weather system getting enclosed by a just scrapes us bringing rain across the english channel briefly. if that gets close enough to the southwest of england we could see some snow here. we will keep you updated.
