so far this season — they're one of the premier league's lowest—scorers with just 13, and amorim wants to bring back some positivity. it will be, ijust it will be, i just want a clean game. that happiness to the supporters before the match. but after the whistle, it will be one more game, and we want to win that match. tottenham are also at home in the europa league later, facing a roma side in disarray — former chelsea and leicester boss claudio ranieri is their third manager of the season. spurs have won three and lost one of their games in europe so far and sit seventh in the table. again, notan again, not an easy circumstance, we had a red card after five minutes again, not an easy circumstance, we had a red card afterfive minutes in the first game. we played a lot of young players and we've given a lot

of players game time, which has been really good. the quicker you can, sort of, guarantee that kind of top spike, it leaves you that little bit of latitude, two less games, the second half, ithink of latitude, two less games, the second half, i think that certainly has to be our aim. 0ne one more football line. the former england and chelsea midfielder frank lampard has been appointed head coach at championship side coventry city. lampard's been out of work since his interim role at chelsea ended 18 months ago. he'd previously held the fulltime position at stamford bridge, as well as spells at derby county and everton. he's been given a two and half year deal. tennis now — and world number 2 iga swiatek has accepted a one—month suspension after testing positive for a banned substance in august. she was provisionally suspended and missed three tournaments but after she appealed, the itia, the body which looks after the games integrity, accepted that she had unknowingly ingested a substance known as tmz which had

contaminated her medication forjet—lag. she has eight days of the ban still to serve. she wrote on instagram this has been the "worst experience of my life, the only positive doping test in my career put everything ive worked so hard for my entire life into question. now everything has been explained, and with a clean slate i can go back to what i love most." play gets under way in a few hours time on day two of the first test between england and new zealand in christchurch — the city where ben stokes was born. and this man shoaib bashir was the star of the england side. although that came after new zealand's star man kane williamson had done his bit, his 93 runs taking the black caps past the 200 mark. his wicket opened the door for shoaib bashir to bring england back into it with four for 69. new zealand ended the day on 319—8.

i bowled plenty of balls out there, and that shows how much faith they have in me. so, yeah, 100%. just really enjoyed. sri lanka made history today, but not in the way they'd have wanted. they were bowled out for just 42 against south africa in durban — their lowest score. south africa were all out for 191 on the second day of the opening test, before the tourists crumbled. marco jansen returned career best figures of seven wickets for 13 runs. sri lanka were all out in just 13 and a half overs. south africa finished the day on 132 for three, a lead of 281 runs. there is more on all these stories on the bbc sport website and app, but that's all the sport for now. thank you. the metropolitan police is investigating at least five

people who may have assisted or facilitated mohamed al fayed 5 sexual offences. the force launched a new investigation after 90 alleged victims came forward — following a recent bbc documentary. al fayed died last year, but never faced any criminal charges. the current owners of harrods say they "wholeheartedly" support the police investigation. 0ur correspondent ellie price reports. mohamed al—fayed died last year. he never faced any criminal charges. now, more than five people who may have assisted orfacilitated him are being investigated by the met police. while al—fayed is no longer alive to face prosecution, we are determined to bring anyone who is suspected to have played a part in his offending tojustice. this investigation will look at what role those individuals may have played in facilitating or enabling his offending, and what opportunities they had to protect victims from his horrendous abuse.

i went back to harrods about a year ago...and i knew if i could walk through and come out the other side, i'd be in a good place to be talking to you. the bbc documentary which uncovered allegations of rape and sexual assault was released two months ago. since then, more than 90 women have come forward to the police. the timescale for their claims of abuse is between 1977 and 2014, with the youngest victim a 13—year—old. the met police isn'tjust looking at new allegations, but also looking back at old ones where no charges were brought against mohamed al—fayed. the force says it's already looked at 50,000 pages of evidence from those previous investigations, and it's launched a review about what was missed, and why. 21 alleged victims had already contacted the met in the years before the documentary. earlier this month, the force referred itself to the independent office for police conduct about two cases it investigated in 2008 and 2013. again, no charges were brought. harrods�* new owners have been

investigating since last year whether any current members of staff were involved. it's declined to give details of whether any action has been taken against any individual, or when that review might be completed — but it said it wholeheartedly supported the met police's investigation, and had an open, direct and ongoing line of communication with the met for the benefit of the survivors. ellie price, bbc news. steve knibbsjoins me now in the studio to discuss this. steve, tell us more about the investigation.— steve, tell us more about the investiuation. ~ , , . investigation. were they complicit investigation. were they complicit in his offence? _ investigation. were they complicit in his offence? and _ investigation. were they complicit in his offence? and of _ in his offence? and of the metropolitan police has made a report, victims of all fired going back to 1977 of rape and sexual assault. the youngest victim just 13 years old and this is on top of the

clients who we are proud to represent looking forward to the investigation into these troubling matters and we will continue to push for the survivors of the harrods scandal achieve the justice that they are searching for."- scandal achieve the justice that they are searching for." thanks very much. they are searching for." thanks very much- and — they are searching for." thanks very much- and of _ they are searching for." thanks very much. and of course, _ they are searching for." thanks very much. and of course, more - they are searching for." thanks very much. and of course, more on - they are searching for." thanks very much. and of course, more on the i they are searching for." thanks very i much. and of course, more on the bbc iplayer. tomorrow, mps have the first opportunity to debate and vote on a proposed law which would give terminally ill people in england and wales the right to choose to end their life. mps have been given a free vote, which means they can make their own decision rather than follow party instructions. i spoke to supporters of both sides of the debate, starting with broadcaster dame prue leith, who you might know from the great british bakeoff. she explained why she support the assisted dying bill. well, i think it's so obvious. i think that if you are dying of a terminal illness that you know

because that's the way those diseases go, bone cancer, motor neurone disease, that your life is going to end in tremendous pain and suffering or choking or drowning, then your last year �*s or last months will be fear and anguish, and so will it be for your family. but if you know that you can get out of it, that you can leave this life when things... the last two years, the last two months, whatever it is come you can actually embrace the rest of your life and have that time with your family. rest of your life and have that time with yourfamily. leaving people to...

would have a different opinion. dame prue leith there giving her arguments in support of the bill. to hear the other side, i also spoke to cardinal vincent nichols, who is the archbishop of westminster. he explained why he's against the bill. we are particularly concerned about the vulnerability of the poor and of those _ the vulnerability of the poor and of those who — the vulnerability of the poor and of those who might feel they are a burden— those who might feel they are a burden on— those who might feel they are a burden on others and are therefore exhausting — burden on others and are therefore exhausting themselves. it really should _ exhausting themselves. it really should be solved and assisted suicide, — should be solved and assisted suicide, because that's what it is. it suicide, because that's what it is. it enables— suicide, because that's what it is. it enables the state to provide them now, it enables the state to provide them now. the _ it enables the state to provide them now, the main point is showing dignity— now, the main point is showing dignity to— now, the main point is showing dignity to each other by caring and without— dignity to each other by caring and without that sense of understanding

of the immune system that can go into overdrive when both asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease flare up. 0ur health correspondent sophie hutchinson explains. every ten seconds, someone in the uk has an asthma attack and they can be dangerous. despite that, treatment has barely changed in the last 50 years — until now, thanks to a new trial. it used an existing medication, benralizumab, but in a different way — this time during a flare—up to calm lung inflammation — and patients have said it's a game—changer. i feel completely different, it changed my life, i can drive wherever i wanted, i didn't feel i'm going to get stuck because i can't breathe. no, it made all the difference in my life — completely changed my life. researchers gave patients with asthma and the lung disease copd injections during a particular type of common flare—up. the results published

in the lancet respiratory medicine journal found a failure rate of 74% when taking the current treatment of steroids, but that dropped to 45% with the new therapy benralizumab, significantly reducing hospital admissions and fatalities. it's administered by an injection, and if somebody gets a flare—up of their symptoms and they end up in hospital, that injection can be given there, but there is hope that, actually, it's the sort of thing that can be put into the hands of primary care gps, or indeed potentially it is something you can give to yourself at home. home treatment is only a possibility for the future at the moment, but those behind the trial believe they've had a real breakthrough. i am really super excited, we haven't had new treatments like this, actually, and we are at the british thoracic society meeting today and we know that there is a big buzz about these findings here in the uk

and across the world because this will impact everyone who suffers with asthma and with copd. researchers say next year a larger trial will begin, aimed at confirming the success of this treatment. sophie hutchinson, bbc news. the princess of wales was inside for her bucket list. they have released a statement saying... it was an honour to have met such a brave and humble young person. 0ur humble young person. our thoughts are with the parents and her brother at this unimaginable tragedy. the government is looking at ways to slash emissions from flights — in order to reach its legal 2050 net zero target — and next week its new �*jet zero taskforce' will meet for the first time.

a new documentary on bbc one explores how their plans could work, and what it might mean for ticket prices. 0ur climate editor justin rowlatt reports. wow! look at this! it's very batman, isn't it? futuristic planes like this — this one runs on electricity — could reduce emissions at a stroke, but full—sized versions are decades away at the earliest. a quicker solution could come from your local chippy. used cooking oil and other waste fats can be processed to make a biofuel mix called sustainable aviation fuel — or saf for short. like at this cutting—edge refinery in humberside, where the oil is processed at over 500 celsius. but waste oil is in short supply, and some is imported from as far away as asia. last week, the government ordered that alljet fuel needs to contain 10% of biofuel by the end

of the decade — it claimed that would save roughly 7% on emissions. but it doesn't come cheap. saf is about two to three times more expensive than regular aviation fuel. we need to see these initial plants being built, the technologies being proven, and the cost should come down over time. this could help, too. a brand—newjet engine — the world's largest — which rolls—royce says will be 10% more efficient than their current engines. and here at the hampshire hq of the uk's air traffic service, they're making flights shorter by straightening routes. the problem is, all these technical innovations will only cut aviation emissions by about a third, according to the previous government's jet zero strategy. the rest? well, that plan assumes it will be sorted by a combination of charging airlines for co2 emissions, and paying for carbon—cutting

investments around the world — but, once again, that will cost. i spoke to duncan mccourt — he is the ceo for an airline initiative called sustainable aviation. all these additional costs — what happens to them? where do they go? well, in this case, um, much of the cost will be passed to the consumer, but the government estimate... so ticket prices are going to rise under this scenario — i mean, it's... it's unavoidable, isn't it? let's just be honest about it. the government's calculation in the uk is that ticket prices will rise by a few pounds. is that profitable? to me, yes. major airlines easyjet and wizz air told the bbc they are committed to keeping prices low, with wizz air's environment lead calling on policy—makers to introduce measures to incentivise the green—energy transition. the government is unlikely to tell anyone not to fly, but our analysis of the last government's jet zero strategy shows making big cuts to emissions

is likely to lead to increases in ticket prices, and we all know what that would mean — many of us are likely to find we simply can't afford to fly as much as we used to. justin rowlatt, bbc news. you can find out more on the bbc website. it is also on the iplayer. a penguin at dudley zoo who lost her waddle has been saved by her keepers — by using a home—made baby bouncer. flop, a humboldt penguin, developed a limp which led to her being unable to stand without falling over. but, with the help of the sling and an adapted baby walker, she's now upright and able to enjoy her fish unaided. jessjones is one of the keepers at dudley zoo — she told us about when they first met flop.

the time, at that time we were moving and opting for isolation, she developed a limp, so we had the vet come to assess her, he then prescribed... and then, she unfortunately lost the feeling in her legs, we centre for x—rays, blood tests, the x—ray came back pretty clear, she was basically developing an infection. of course, this was a complete shock, we've never had this happen here before. so for us it was trying to look out there, get the research and find a

way to possibly help her in whichever way we could. ideas about a baby bouncer, custom—made, she was measured, and one of our keepers, she actually... she was a bit more hands—off, we didn't have to keep handling her while she was strengthening her legs. and then that obviously progressed to the walker, the treadmill and then therapy sessions with her as well. when it happened, it was looking very bleak, now the only thing that's really wrong
