certainly be the better day of the weekend. dry with some sunshine. still a bit disappointingly cool with more rain to come to close out september on sunday. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm olly foster, here's what's i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up for you on sportsday. goal coming up for you on sportsday. goal in 60 seconds — rangers have made a in 60 seconds — rangers have made a stunning start to the euro paris stunning start to the euro paris dust europa league campaign. dust europa league campaign. brittania fight back in barcelona, brittania fight back in barcelona, it's all level after the first day it's all level after the first day of racing in the louis vuitton of racing in the louis vuitton final. and british basketball final. and british basketball prepares for a new era — and plenty prepares for a new era — and plenty of new stars. of new stars.

welcome good evening. let's start with more on that developing story regarding the former fulham chairman mohamed al fayed — and the historic claims of sexual assault and rape against him. the bbc heard testimony last week from more than 20 former harrods employees who said the billionaire sexually assaulted or raped them. let's head to craven cottage, our senior sports news correspondent is laura —— laurie scott is there for us. there's been some really harrowing testimony from former harrods employees over the last few days. i know you've beenin the last few days. i know you've been in contact with fulham football club and those lawyers representing the survivors have now confirmed that the club will probably come into those investigations? exactly,

for arsenal and celtic, but let's get straight to the europa league — nine matches last night in the opening round of fixtures, nine more tonight. rangers are one of the two british clubs involved, and they have just reached half—time in sweden where they are facing malmo. his first goalfor his first goal for rangers in the first minute. rangers have a poor record rangers have a poor record against swedish opposition — against swedish opposition — still without a win in six attempts, still without a win in six attempts, but they have reached but they have reached the knockout stage five times the knockout stage five times in the last six seasons. in the last six seasons. they lead i—0. they lead i—0. malmo, the first of the eight teams malmo, the first of the eight teams rangers will face over rangers will face over the next four months — the next four months — they'll also play they'll also play tottenham in mid—december. tottenham in mid—december. spurs are narrow favourites ahead spurs are narrow favourites ahead of manchester united to win of manchester united to win the europea league outright. the europea league outright. it should be a straightforwrd start it should be a straightforwrd start for them, they're at home against for them, they're at home against the azerbaijani champions oarabag — the azerbaijani champions oarabag — but manager, ange postecoglou, but manager, ange postecoglou, admits while he's happy admits while he's happy to be back in europe, to be back in europe, the football calendar the football calendar is becoming too full. is becoming too full. i think we are getting to a real i think we are getting to a real

sort of dangerous level of what our sort of dangerous level of what our expectations are around players. expectations are around players. you know, instead of sort of focusing on one or two tournaments, it's about the calendar year, that's more of an issue, players don't get a break in between seasons any more, they use to. there is more tournaments, international and club

to. there is more tournaments, int the tional and club to. there is more tournaments, int the manager. club to. there is more tournaments, int the manager. this is an arsenal for the manager. this is an arsenal side that's absolutely stacked full of world—class players — yet they've delivered very little in terms of success and silverware in recent seasons. yes, they won the league cup last year but they haven't won the leeson 319, they haven't won the fa cup since 2016. they also failed to qualify for the group stage. so the fact that they are 1—0 down from the fact that they are 1—0 down from the first leg, there's a lot of pressure on them this evening. they built a squad that's big and good enough to win the champions league — but of course for that to happen, they have to reach the group stage. so if things don't go for them this evening, you imagine some of the asking, "what's the future of the club?" the manager admits the book very much stops with him. —— the buck. i'm responsible for the team's result — i'm responsible for the team's result. and very positive and optimistic about our chances this

season — optimistic about our chances this season. we are going into the game with really— season. we are going into the game with really high motivation tomorrow night, _ with really high motivation tomorrow night, and _ with really high motivation tomorrow night, and we are going to do everything in our power that we can do to— everything in our power that we can do to overturn it. and we know, for every— do to overturn it. and we know, for every action— do to overturn it. and we know, for every action we do here, we will have _ every action we do here, we will have a _ every action we do here, we will have a north bank that will probably double _ have a north bank that will probably double that effort for us, and that'll— double that effort for us, and that'“ be _ double that effort for us, and that'll be a really, really nice atmosphere if we can recreate that. paris fc were arsenal's downfall last season — they have a tall order if they're going to get it over manchester city tonight? manchester ci fc manchester city tonight? manchester city fc more — manchester city tonight? manchester city fc more straightforward - manchester city tonight? manchester city fc more straightforward than - city fc more straightforward than arsenal this evening. they travelled to paris last week and had to do it without their main striker bunny sure, because embarrassingly, the club forgot to file her visa paperwork in time. so the fact that they are at home tonight, they've got bunny sure back, and they have this huge lead — you would think there's no way they couldn't mollify for the stages. there's another british team that haven't faired too well in europe in recent seasons and

the last two occasions they've tried to get to the group stage, they've been knocked out in the qualification process. so tonight could be a big milestone for them. speaking of milestones — could be an historic night in airdrie for celtic. they know what they've got to do. , ., , celtic. they know what they've got todo. ,., , . .,, celtic. they know what they've got todo. , ., ., , ., celtic. they know what they've got todo. ., , ., . ., to do. history awaits for celtic, no scottish team _ to do. history awaits for celtic, no scottish team has _ to do. history awaits for celtic, no scottish team has ever— to do. history awaits for celtic, no scottish team has ever made - to do. history awaits for celtic, no scottish team has ever made the l scottish team has ever made the group stage of the women's champions league. they took a significant step forward towards doing that with a 1-0 forward towards doing that with a 1—0 win it on sunday's first leg. they are playing the ukrainian champions — both legs being played in airdrie because of the war in ukraine. you can expect a decent amount of scottish support in the stands this evening. but we have to accept that if all three british teams when their ties tonight, they'll then join chelsea in the last 16 in the group stage. that would be a quarter of the teams in the groups that are british, saying a lot about the strength of women's british football. the draw takes place tomorrow night.— place tomorrow night. that's something — place tomorrow night. that's something compared - place tomorrow night. that's something compared to - place tomorrow night. that's| something compared to what place tomorrow night. that's - something compared to what we had last season. absolutely fingers

crossed, thanks forjoining us. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. alex matthews will captain england for the first time when the red roses take on usa in their wxv1 opener in vancouver on sunday. marlie packer is being rested. the side also contains two debutants in centre phoebe murray and wing bo westcombe—evans. jack draper is through to the last 16 at the japan open. he beat mattia bellucci in straight sets. it's his first victory since defeat byjannik sinner in the us open semi—finals earlier this month. he'll now play polish second seed hubert hurkacz tomorrow. after 257 races, daniel ricciardo's f1 career looks to be over. the 35—year—old was already going to be replaced by liam lawson for the next race in austin, but the australian has now left the rb team with immediate effect.

we've had the first day of racing in the louis vuitton cup final off the coast of barcelona — and it's all square between ben ainsley�*s ineos britannia and italy's luna rossa, as they face each other for a place in the america's cup. in ainslie's own words, they made a mess of the first race after giving luna rossa too much of a head start, but they led from the off in the second and held on to make it 1—1. it's the first to seven with the next two races on saturday — should it go down to the decider in this series that would be on october 5th, this is a repeat of the last final in 2021 with the italians winning 7—1 — again, the defending america's cup champions emirates new zealand are waiting to face the winners. that will also take place in barcelona. england cricketers are back at lord's tomorrow for the fourth one—dayer against australia.

they kept the series alive on tuesday, with a win two days ago at chester le street. they trail 2—1 with two to play. very big win, obviously in the context of the series, trying to keep it alive. once we were 2—0 down, we wanted to come back. we've tried to win the series 3—2. i don't think we look at it in terms of pressure, but house or game going? and we felt as though we were playing in the right way, the right fashion — you've got to stay true to your beliefs as a team and how you play as a player, and i think we did that. ., u. play as a player, and i think we did that. ., _, ., , ., that. how confident are you in continuing _ that. how confident are you in continuing this _ that. how confident are you in continuing this turnaround - that. how confident are you in continuing this turnaround in i that. how confident are you in i continuing this turnaround in the series? , . ., �* continuing this turnaround in the series? , _, �* ., series? very confident, we've got the players _ series? very confident, we've got the players to _ series? very confident, we've got the players to do _ series? very confident, we've got the players to do it. _ series? very confident, we've got the players to do it. so _ series? very confident, we've got the players to do it. so as - series? very confident, we've got the players to do it. so as long i series? very confident, we've got the players to do it. so as long as we go and stay true to ourselves, there's no reason why we can't come off. caitlin clark's incredible rookie season in the wnba is over, after indiana fever�*s defeat in the first round of the play—offs against connecticut sun. but after the match, one of the sun players,

alyssa thomas, talked about the racist abuse she's received from the fever fan base. the indiana coach, christie sides, says her players have been targeted as well. the league has released a staement, saying they will take appropriate measures. i asked the washington posts cindy boren about clarke's debut season and why is has seemingly sparked such discriminatory behaviour. i'll go back to the beginning when she first started in the wnba. she arrived with great fanfare, they had to move all her games to bigger arenas across the country. wnba games are suddenly on national tv where they really hadn't been before. it was a very big deal, and there was an awful lot of resentment among other w nba players — and i think that's somewhat understandable, just from the point of view of, "we've been here for a decade or more playing in this league, and now all of a sudden it's a big deal?" there was some anger and hurt they — and what happened in

the first game, the opener of this series, dish and a carrington kind of smacked her in the eye — it was judged to be an inadvertent play, but it left caitlin clark with a black eye. and clark, again, gives back almost as good as she gets — as she should. so yesterday afternoon, she should. so yesterday afternoon, she revealed she'd received some really ugly, abusive e—mail, and that's where this whole alyssa thomas thing came out after the game when she was talking about what was going on, then the wnba weighed in, saying, "we've reported all this to security, and if we need to, we will get law enforcement involved. that's a statement — get law enforcement involved. that's a statement that _ get law enforcement involved. that's a statement that come _ get law enforcement involved. that's a statement that come out _ get law enforcement involved. that's a statement that come out with - - a statement that come out with — they really have to get a handle on this, haven't they? and yes, they say, the success is incredible and

the growth of women's basketball — but they've gotta stop it going down that road. , ., , ., but they've gotta stop it going down that road. , . , ., , . that road. they really do, they are somewhat fortunate _ that road. they really do, they are somewhat fortunate right - that road. they really do, they are somewhat fortunate right now - somewhat fortunate right now and that caitlin clark's season is over. so i would think some of that hate and vitriol, and nastiness would be tempered a bit going forward. people are accustomed to these teams, they know these players. there isn't the caitlin clark frenzy that there was all season long. i don't know how you get a handle on that, i really don't, but the wnba needs to figure that out. professional basketball resumes in england and scotland tomorrow, after a summer when its very future seemed in doubt. the league has been restructured with some frantic recruitment over the summer. among the new arrivals is the american charles thompson. for inspiration, he can to look to his father, who twice boxed for the heavyweight title of the world. our sports correspondent
