great britain's first four man bobsleigh medal at the world championships for 84 years. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. we start tonight with manchester city who've been charged by the premier league with over a hundred breaches of financial rules between 2009 and 2018. an independent commission will now investigate and will be able to impose a punishment if necessary. city say they're "surprised" by the charges and that their position is supported by what they call "irrefutable evidence." olly foster reports: for the past decade manchester city

has been a dominant force. they have won the premier league title six times. you can trace the turnaround to 2008, the abu dhabi takeover transformed the club but their spending has been under scrutiny. they were fined in 2014 for flouting uefa financial fairplay rules. three years ago they were thrown out of the champions league by uefa breaking the rules again accused of over inflating sponsor set rules. now, a four—year investigation has found up to 100 alleged breaches relating to every season since the takeover. between 2009 and 2018 they have been accused of... to 2009 to 2013... that was roberto mancini at the time. from 2010 to 2016... city say they are surprised by a further further accusation

that they failed to co—operate with the investigation and there is a comprehensive body of refuted irrefutable evidence. the bod has refuted irrefutable evidence. the body has a _ refuted irrefutable evidence. tue: body has a huge refuted irrefutable evidence. tte: body has a huge range refuted irrefutable evidence. t'te: body has a huge range of refuted irrefutable evidence. tte: body has a huge range of sanctions that range from find at one end of the spectrum all the way to a point reductions or even retrospective point deductions and i suppose expulsion from the premier league sense. in terms of seriousness, it doesn't get more serious than that and they will certainly be studying these charges very carefully and responding in due course. on the field their title defence is faltering, losing again over the weekend, the outcome of the legal battle they face in the weeks ahead could have huge repercussions for the club and the game itself. our sports editor dan roan has been following the story from the beginning of the premier league's four year investigation into manchester city.

joining us now from the etihad stadium. what do you make of today's developments? tl is stadium. what do you make of today's developments?— developments? it is potentially seismic because _ developments? it is potentially seismic because of _ developments? it is potentially seismic because of the - developments? it is potentially seismic because of the scale i developments? it is potentially seismic because of the scale ofi developments? it is potentially - seismic because of the scale of this unprecedented catalogue of charges that the premier league have hit manchester city works, as our leader said in his report, more than 100 alleged breaches of financial rules during every one of the 1a full seasons here at the etihad since that abu dhabi takeover in 2008 transform this club into one of the wealthiest and most successful in the world. let's not forget that this is a club that have won the premier league title six times since that takeover. they are the reigning champions, if they win this season and they are only a few points behind arsenal, then they will have secured the title five times in the last six seasons. they are the favourites to win the champions league as well. they recently were

called the richest club in the world in the latest financial analysis of european clubs. now, city seem confident, don't they? in the statement you heard detailed a moment to go, they feel that the timing is perhaps potentially linked to the regulator, which has been delayed of course, today, we understand, and perhaps the premier league wanting to demonstrate that they do have teeth, that remains to be seen. the premier league haven't responded to any such suggestion but there is no doubt that this could be hugely pivotable for the future of this club. ~ , ,., , hugely pivotable for the future of this club. ~ ,,., , ~ ., ., hugely pivotable for the future of this club. ~ , , ~ ., ., ., this club. absolutely. we await to see what the _ this club. absolutely. we await to see what the independent - this club. absolutely. we await to - see what the independent commission has to say. our sports editor at the etihad stadium. thank you. we're going to stay with football because two weeks ago it was everton sacking frank lampard. today another team fighting relegation leeds united have parted company with their manager. jesse marsch has been shown the door after less than a year in charge.

it follows leeds 1—0 defeat at nottingham forest which made it seven league games without a win. they're only above the relegation zone on goal difference. adam cottier has more: jesse marsch acknowledge the leeds fans with a ruthless expression after a seventh premier league game without a win. a sharp decline that has prompted the lead hierarchy to act, even though marsh stood defiant in the sight of his side's latest loss. ~ . , , ., loss. we are 'ust struggling to get the results loss. we are just struggling to get the results that _ loss. we are just struggling to get the results that we _ loss. we are just struggling to get the results that we feel _ loss. we are just struggling to get the results that we feel like - loss. we are just struggling to get the results that we feel like we i the results that we feel like we deserve. the work on the inside and commitment has been good. but from a result does that to put stress on the environment and then i have to take responsibility for that and i do. . , . ,, take responsibility for that and i do. . , ., , , ., take responsibility for that and i do. . , . ,, . . take responsibility for that and i do. . _, ,, ., ._ ., do. he leaves after less than a year in charue do. he leaves after less than a year in charge after— do. he leaves after less than a year in charge after struggling _ do. he leaves after less than a year in charge after struggling to - do. he leaves after less than a year| in charge after struggling to engage supporters the way his predecessor did. lead's only solace comes of progress in the fa cup, in the premier league because of a sin concern has lingered for such a time. with only four wins despite

always going to be difficult to replace them but it is entirely results based. if he had started the season and we would have been mid—table there would have been no issue there. people always want more but obviously, the position we're in now, it reached the point where it is more of a gamble to keep and then to get rid of them. i think that is what is motivating getting ready for now. mr; what is motivating getting ready for now. 3 ., ., _, ., what is motivating getting ready for now. g . ., ., �* �* now. my favourite comment on the bbc sort now. my favourite comment on the bbc sport website — now. my favourite comment on the bbc sport website when _ now. my favourite comment on the bbc sport website when asked _ now. my favourite comment on the bbc sport website when asked who - now. my favourite comment on the bbc sport website when asked who should l sport website when asked who should replace him. someone said, only one name in the frame he would stand for no—nonsense work them hard and they have become available, that person is catherine k would. one for the happy valley fans if you are out there. who would like to see come in and take forjesse marsch? tt’s there. who would like to see come in and take forjesse marsch?— and take forjesse marsch? it's hard to say because _ and take forjesse marsch? it's hard to say because he _ and take forjesse marsch? it's hard to say because he is _ and take forjesse marsch? it's hard to say because he is ultimately i and take forjesse marsch? it's hard to say because he is ultimately he l to say because he is ultimately he was going to make the decision. he has tended to go a different way with these choices. you can have a reputation. i would like to see another ambitious appointment. at

you'll remember they were minutes away from one of this season's great fa cup stories but wrexham and their hollywood owners were ultimately denied their happy ending, when sheffield united equalised late on to force a fourth round replay. these were the scenes at the racecourse whenjohn egan's late goal snatched a 3 all draw. this is why both sides go again at bramall lane tomorrow night and the winner will be at home to tottenham in the next round. wrexham's manager phil parkinson's been speaking today, and knows it will be even tougher winning away from home against championship opposition. there is hope for ryan reynolds and wrexham fans though, they've done that once already this season when they beat coventry in the third round: logic tells you of course, we had a great opportunity was to win the game at home. but equally, we played really well on the day. we'll be going there tomorrow to make a cup

tie and give everything we have got to try and get through. the owners set out to raise the profile of the area and the club and they have done that and now the challenge is can we go and show ourselves again at sheffield united. with the outcome of the game we will be looking for a performance. we have made another step forward tonight. next tonight to golf where the fallout between the dp world tour and players who want to play on the big money saudi backed liv series is coming to a head. today marks the start of a week long hearing that will decide whether the breakaway players can play where they like, when they like or whether the tour is right to suspend and fine them. our golf correspondent ian carter spoke to me a short while ago: well, it matters because the dp world tour want to know whether or not they can impose their own punishments on players who refuse to

follow regulations that they have in their rule book. the regulation at their rule book. the regulation at the heart of this is that you have to do, if you are going to play for a rival tour, you have to seek permission. you have to gain a waiver to do that. the players who went to play in the opening liv golf eventin went to play in the opening liv golf event injune sort that waiver, it was refused, they ignored the refusal of the waiver and they went to play. from that point, the dp world tour, formerly known as the european tour, sought to ban them from the scottish open and a couple of tournaments in america that were happening at the same time. they fined them £100,000, three of those players decided that they would appeal that and as a result of the appeal, the punishments were staved pending the full hearing which is now under way in london. what happens this week doesn'tjust have implications for golf, but for all sports. this is about how much control main

organisation bodies have over the players that play in their competitions. duncan bagshawe is a barrister who specialises in arbitration who's been telling me about the wider implications: the interest of various organisations, whether it is very large companies, governments and states or others in organising sporting competitions and bathing in the reflected glory of the legendary heroic sportspeople who take part of them is very strong. and so, if, in this case, it is decided that even the relatively limited sanctions that were imposed by dp world on the players who chose to play in conflicting tournaments organised by liv golf, even those relatively limited sanctions were not permitted, that could be taken as something of a green light to other organisations that want to set up rival leagues. tennis is a good example of a sport where the rewards

are potentially very large, financially as an important industry as a sport and we may well see, depending on the outcome of this case, some inspiration and encouragement being taken by potential organisers of rival tournaments.— potential organisers of rival tournaments. ., ., ., , tournaments. you are an expert in this area. what _ tournaments. you are an expert in this area. what is _ tournaments. you are an expert in this area. what is your _ tournaments. you are an expert in this area. what is your instinct i tournaments. you are an expert in this area. what is your instinct on | this area. what is your instinct on this area. what is your instinct on this in terms of what the hearing will conclude? tt t this in terms of what the hearing will conclude?— this in terms of what the hearing will conclude? if i had to express a view one way _ will conclude? if i had to express a view one way or — will conclude? if i had to express a view one way or the _ will conclude? if i had to express a view one way or the other, - will conclude? if i had to express a view one way or the other, of- view one way or the other, of course, i won't be sitting in the arbitration all week so i can't substitute my instinct for the judgment of the tribunal but if i had to an express in instinct one way or the other it would be the d sanctions that have been imposed fall on the right side of the line, they don't go so far as to be unfair or disproportional because they seek to control the players playing in conflicting tournaments and they don't seem to sanction them for any association with liv golf. more

there every single time we are risking our lives and it is, yes, there is a lot on the line and you don't know what you are going to get injured or hurt or whether it will be your last run. it is that dangerous and that thrill is just a whole different level. we have risen to the level to the point that it was great that we won a silver medal but we were disappointed not to win the title. that is where we are getting to and i wouldn't trade a day in athletics for the days i have had in bobsleigh at all.— had in bobsleigh at all. brand, we mention their _ had in bobsleigh at all. brand, we mention their funding. _ had in bobsleigh at all. brand, we mention their funding. when i had in bobsleigh at all. brand, we mention their funding. when we | had in bobsleigh at all. brand, we i mention their funding. when we think about britain we are not thinking about britain we are not thinking about lots of mountains and snow, how have you been able to punch above your weight on the world stage? tl above your weight on the world stare? , ., above your weight on the world stale? , ., ., stage? it is in quite tough over the last few years. _ stage? it is in quite tough over the last few years, we _ stage? it is in quite tough over the last few years, we haven't - stage? it is in quite tough over the last few years, we haven't had i last few years, we haven't had any funding for the last three years and it is just coming from this year. what we have done is just focus on the basics, tried to do all the simple things as well as we can and just tried to maximise and optimise absolutely everything that we have

got. so, we have got equipment that you just buy off the shelf and what we do is add things. we leave no stone unturned so we can try and get that advantage where we don't have as much funding or as much staff or anything else as these other countries. we have got to do all the other things that we can't necessarily afford to do to the best of our ability. that is how we get to that level that we are at the moment. ~ ., ., ., , to that level that we are at the moment. ., ., ., ., moment. well, congratulations again. it is been fantastic _ moment. well, congratulations again. it is been fantastic following _ moment. well, congratulations again. it is been fantastic following you i it is been fantastic following you across the season and having you come on and show us your medals. thank you. come on and show us your medals. thank you-— thank you. thank you very much. chairs. thank you. thank you very much. chairs- always — thank you. thank you very much. chairs. always great _ thank you. thank you very much. chairs. always great to _ thank you. thank you very much. chairs. always great to speak i thank you. thank you very much. chairs. always great to speak to l thank you. thank you very much. i chairs. always great to speak to the nu s chairs. always great to speak to the au s who chairs. always great to speak to the guys who have _ chairs. always great to speak to the guys who have been _ chairs. always great to speak to the guys who have been out _ chairs. always great to speak to the guys who have been out celebrating t guys who have been out celebrating last night. finally, and finally it's one of the most iconic landmarks in golf. the swilcan bridge between the first and eighteenth fairways on the old course at st andrews is thought to be around 700 years old. so not everyone is happy with the renovation works that's seen a paved area added

to the bridge approach. the bbc golf commentator ken brown says... while several golf fans replying to ken's tweet put their own spin on the photo, one golf society managing to photoshop a set of table and chairs onto the newly renovated surface. many others feeling it looks like a patio area. st andrews did respond to highlight why they saw the work as necessary this a photo of the wear on the ground and the mud on the approach, but the former open winner nick faldo said "would you rather leave with a bit of historic dirt on your shoes or a few cement mix scraps?" evenin even ina even in a week by gulf's future is on the line there are still other things getting people talking. that's all from sportsday. we will keep you updated on the website. but for me and the team for now that's it. goodbye.

hello. there is clear skies will allow temperatures to fall away quickly overnight allowing an early frost to develop. we have got a band of rain edging into parts of scotland and northern ireland. in the south, we could see temperatures as low as —6 in parts of england and wales. and also, i think the risk of some damp and quite wide frog affecting parts of southern england and east anglia. they could be some disruption as we head into the first part of tuesday morning. perhaps some frog lingering into the afternoon. that weak weather front will continue to drift southwards from scotland and northern ireland across northern england and wales. you could see a bit of rain from that but not much. most of us will have a dry day. wednesday starting with the mist and fog across southern areas. northern england too. a much windier day

eventually with some rain edging into the far north—west. on wednesday night it gets very windy for north—west scotland.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. this is outside source. two powerful earthquakes devastate turkey and syria, killing over 2,000 people. the first struck in the middle of the night. it's feared thousands are trapped in the rubble of their homes. the earthquake measured 7.8 and was felt as far away as lebanon and cyprus. translation: we've all heard the sound of the earthquake. l her sister is still trapped under the rubble. translation: there are 12 families trapped here i and no—one managed to get out. they are all inside here. rescue workers comb through the rubble in a race against time to reach survivors, with freezing temperatures forecast overnight.

and turkey issues an international appeal for help.
