there was no ambiguity. when i said are you staying or going, he said listen, it looks like a new challenge, that was very much indicating away from old trafford. i went back to him just to clarify that and that's the direction of travel. you've heard what amorim has said today. it sounds like could be a way back for rashford. do you agree? well, not according to your piece from justi. if he is not on the train, he was fit enough yesterday, so i was that he could travelled to know more but it seems unlikely to do that on the day of the game. so it was interesting what ruben amorim was saying but if you look at it from a perspective of his, he needs finances to actually develop the squad, develop the team. it a different tactical template now under him to what a lot of the players and the squad has been built for is more for 23133 and ruben amorim wants a plate 3&21. we need

to generate money under the financial fairplay rules effectively and the money he would get fore will be pure profit because he is an academy player. 0bviously along contract they should be able to get a decent sum for him. he depends obviously he will stump up the wages because marcus rashford is of good money and also pay the fee and who really in europe has got the appetite or the funds for that. there have been allegations of a lack of professionalism. do you have any insight as to the reasons why he's in the cold? ruben amorim alluded to that and he was fairly up front about that in terms of the attitude in training and on the pitch. i think united fans you just talk to wilt sort of say and confirm that his body language and games has not been right, trekking back, tactical issues like that but i don't think it is completely him the bad leg being painted or some united fans are fending him out to be. one of

his main focus is off the pitch has been feeding the nation's hungry kid from disadvantaged areas. that's not the greatest crime ever thrown at a footballer. �* ., . the greatest crime ever thrown at a footballer. �* ._ , ., , ., , the greatest crime ever thrown at a footballer. �* , ., , ., , ., footballer. always a pleasure to seak footballer. always a pleasure to s - eak to footballer. always a pleasure to speak to you — footballer. always a pleasure to speak to you thank _ footballer. always a pleasure to speak to you thank you - footballer. always a pleasure to speak to you thank you so - footballer. always a pleasure to j speak to you thank you so much footballer. always a pleasure to - speak to you thank you so much for your time. speak to you thank you so much for our time. . . to matters on the pitch, we're at the quarterfinal stage of the league cup with three fixtures tonight, including newcastle against brentford at st james�*s park. the home side might see themselves as slight favourites after their 4—0 thrashing of leicester in the league at the weekend, but brentford are in form, beating their opponents just 11 days ago in the premier league. 5 live's ian dennis is there for us with chris waddle. a place in the last miracle for is at stake in wonders thinking we have in prospect here at st james�* park. newcastle united against brentford. we know about brentford�*s strength at home but away from home they have to improve. at home but away from home they have to imrove. , ., , , ., at home but away from home they have toimrove. , ., ,_, , , to improve. obviously a few players not as confident _ to improve. obviously a few players not as confident when _ to improve. obviously a few players not as confident when they - to improve. obviously a few players not as confident when they go - to improve. obviously a few players not as confident when they go on i to improve. obviously a few players | not as confident when they go on the road and _ not as confident when they go on the road and i_ not as confident when they go on the road and i don't understand why. you do play— road and i don't understand why. you do play is _ road and i don't understand why. you do play is in — road and i don't understand why. you do play is in stadiums where the atmosphere is olympic but not on the

in the women�*s game, arsenal are hosting bayern munich in the champions league later, but manchester city have a huge task ahead of them. they�*ve travelled to spain to take on the holders barcelona. that group game is already under way, and it�*s the catalans who are ahead at the break. claudia pina with the breakthrough goaljust before half—time. manchester city are top of their group on 15 points, with barca two points behind them, but heading top as things stand. let�*s take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. sergio perez has confirmed he is leaving red bull afterfour years with the team. the 34—year—old mexican could only finish eighth in the drivers�* championship this season. it�*s expected that liam lawson will move up from the junior team to take his seat. perez said he would always cherish the success he and red bull achieved together. red bull team principal christian horner has been given a cbe by king charles for his services to motorsports. horner has led red bull�*s f1 team since 2005, winning six constructors�* championships. earlier this year, he was cleared of "inappropriate behaviour" following allegations made

against him by a female colleague. englishman marco penge has been suspended by the european tour for three months after a disciplinary panel found he had placed bets on multiple golf events. the dp world tour said 26—year—old penge did not bet on himself or during tournament days when he was competing. the panel decided that the integrity of the events had not been compromised. the world—number—ma was also fined £2000. a crisis is developing at england rugby, with calls for the chief executive and the chairman to go after it was revealed they received large bonuses despite losses at the rfu of more than a0 million. a special general meeting has been called, and it�*s understood there is talk of an historic no—confidence vote in bill sweeney and tom ilube before the end of the six nations. our sports correspondentjoe wilson

has been following this story. can you outline what�*s being discussed and how has it come to this? sure, i�*vejust come by sure, i�*ve just come by the talking and there is drizzle in the air may be just a and there is drizzle in the air may bejust a bit and there is drizzle in the air may be just a bit of revolution in the air. meeting taking place this meeting is an emergency meeting and is not what we will get to the stage of a vote of no—confidence. as you said, that might come in the new year but what representatives will be discussing this evening and they come in part for professional games but also broader parts of the rugby union family, is a simmering resentment that they will know is all around them and beneath them about the way that the game is being run in england right now. there are loads of issues at stake but a lot of the disharmony as you say will be aimed at chief executive bill sweeney and the financial package that was awarded to him whereby he earns over £1 million a year. that does include substantial bonuses at a time in context when the rfu of

recording losses as you say, or the national women�*s team is doing great with the men placement team is not people are being made redundant and of course in recent history those professional clubs, long—standing, have gone to the wall. so what are your key discussion this evening will relate to bill sweeney�*s wages and the simple question is he worth it? 50 and the simple question is he worth it? ., , , and the simple question is he worth it? ._ , , it? so many feel perhaps the buck would stop — it? so many feel perhaps the buck would stop with _ it? so many feel perhaps the buck would stop with bill _ it? so many feel perhaps the buck would stop with bill sweeney. - it? so many feel perhaps the buck| would stop with bill sweeney. how might he defend himself? he would stop with bill sweeney. how might he defend himself?- would stop with bill sweeney. how might he defend himself? he may well oint out might he defend himself? he may well point out that — might he defend himself? he may well point out that he _ might he defend himself? he may well point out that he got _ might he defend himself? he may well point out that he got in _ might he defend himself? he may well point out that he got in the _ might he defend himself? he may well point out that he got in the rfu - point out that he got in the rfu for the difficult pandemic times and may argue that his financial sentiment, although big, his wages might be comparable with others in the corporate world. he mayjust point out that the meeting is taking place in the stadium officially, that naming rights deal one he got over the line, controversial in its own way, but certainly reasonably lucrative. there are ways that he could defend himself and of course for any chief executive you might feel their position becomes untenable, resignation is a

possibility. you mentioned further down the line there is a potential certainly of a vote of no—confidence coming his way so there are ways that bill sweeney can and i�*m sure it will defend himself but right now it will defend himself but right now it seems there are an awful lot of people in english rugby union that he urgently needs to placate. shill he urgently needs to placate. all right, joe, thank you so much that update. the financial meltdown of london irish, wasps and worcester has left the british taxpayer out of pocket by more than £30 million in unrecovered covid loans. the three premiership clubs went out of business after taking more than a0 million in contingency funding from the department for culture, media and sport. worcester owed more than £15 million, but administrators paid backjust under 10 million. wasps�* administrators repaid just £300,000 of their £14 million loan, and no money from london irish�*s £11.8 million has been returned.

to cricket now, and india�*s third test against australia ended in a draw in brisbane, leaving the series 1—1 with two of the five matches to go. australia had a first—innings lead of 185 early on the final day at the gabba and tried to force a result with some attacking batting. it didn�*t quite work because 18 overs and 89—7 later, after the home side had left india a target of 275, they could only manage a couple of overs before the bad light and rain came. they�*ll next meet in melbourne for the boxing day test. and after the match, indian great ravichandran ashwin surprised everyone by announcing he is retiring from international cricket immediately. he only played in the second test and will head home mid—series. he�*ll be remembered as one of the the all—time great spinning all—rounders, playing 106 tests and scoring six centuries as a powerful lower—order batsman, but his bowling had him ranked as number one in the world for long periods. his tally of 37 five—wicket hauls is second only to sri lanka great muttiah muralitharan,

who heads the list of all—time wicket—takers in test cricket. ashwin�*s total of 537 wickets has him ranked the seventh—highest wicket—ta ker. he�*s just ahead of nathan lyon for now. and only one other indian bowler has more wickets, anil kumble. i had ihada i had a lot of fun. i created a lot of memories and even some of the last few years. the last bunch of 0ds in cricket. i wish people at the time, i won�*t name all of them, but others being part of the journey. most importantly those who think in those catches around the back. we managed to get those over the years. over the slip, it is! stokes is gone! — over the slip, it is! stokes is one! ., ., ., ., , gone! thanks for the “ournalist writinu gone! thanks for the “ournalist writing thingsh

don�*t forget that fight is live on five live and also you can follow updates on sport website. and finally, chinese snooker player zhang anda was closing in on a bonus prize of $1 million at the riyadh season snooker championship in saudi arabia when the lights went out. the tournament has introduced a golden ball which becomes active if a player gets a 147 break, triggering the chance to win the extra prize, but an electrical fault forced the game�*s suspension with zhang on 72. he returned to the table after 45 minutes, but fell short of the maximum a few shots later. who has a conspiracy theory there just to stop him from doing that? i�*m sure that was not the case. let�*s remind you of our top story before we go. marcus rashford�*s manager, ruben amorim, said he wanted to keep the striker despite leaving him out of his squad at the weekend. amorim said manchester united were better with rashford and that they would try to get him

back to the levels he had shown in the past. that�*s all from sportsday. thanks very much for watching. bye—bye. hello. it�*s been a pretty blustery day across many parts of the uk. some more windy weather to come over the next few days. on the satellite picture, you can see one curl of cloud, one weather system sliding away, but another one hurtling in from the south—west, bringing some heavy rain, some more brisk winds. and then as that weather front clears through, well, we will continue to introduce some colder air from the north—west. so as we go through the rest of the evening, some quite windy weather for a time through english channel coasts on the southern flank of this weather system that�*s sliding away eastwards. staying windy through the night in the north of scotland, and with that colder air digging in, we will start to see some wintry showers. particularly cold across

the northern half of the uk, but even further south, not as mild as it was last night. and then into tomorrow, well, that weather system clears away. we are all into these cold north or north—westerly winds. brisk winds, gusts of 40 mph or more quite widely. one or two showers in these western and northern parts, some of those wintry over high ground. top temperatures of 5—9 degrees, but when we factor in the strength of the wind, it will feel a little colder than that. now another change on friday. we will see another frontal system pushing in from the west. a band of cloud, some outbreaks of rain pushing quite erratically southwards and eastwards. some slightly milder air tucked in with this weather system, for a little while at least. 10—11 degrees, and then into the start of the weekend, a deep area of low pressure approaches the north of scotland. you see all the isobars, all the white lines here, squeezing together.

we are expecting some very windy weather indeed. the north and the west of scotland, the north coast of northern ireland, likely to see gales. gusts could reach 80 mph, so that could disrupt some pre—christmas travel plans. a real rash of showers, some wintry ones over high ground in the north. briefly a bit milder down towards the south, but on sunday, we�*re all back into the cold air. it�*s going to be very windy. widely gusts of 40, 50, 60 mph, lots of showers, some hail, some sleet, some snow mixing in over the hills. and, yes, it is going to feel quite cold out there. but then as we approach christmas, things should calm down. high pressure is likely to build. it is likely to turn largely dry by christmas day, and we�*re expecting things to feel very mild.

it�*s 7pm in london. this is the world today. a warning from the united nations that unless syria gets urgent support it could plunge back into violence. the conflict isn�*t over yet. we need immediate humanitarian assistance, but we also need to make sure that syria can be rebuilt. here, the prime minister defends his government�*s decision not to pay compensation to millions of women affected by changes to the state pension age. at least 13 people are killed in india after a ferry capsized when it was hit by a navy speed boat.

houston, we still have a problem. two astronauts stuck on the international space station have their return to earth delayed again. also coming up on the world today. we meet the 12—year—old pooch who has become england�*s ugliest dog. welcome to the world today an hour of international news from the bbc. the de facto leader has told us his country is exhausted by war and is not a threat to its neighbours. he let the lightning offensive that toppled the regime in syria less than two weeks ago the leader of hts the dominant group in the rebel alliance and said his group should be delisted as a terrorist organisation and called for sanctions on syria to be lifted. senior un officials have expressed serious concerns

about the situation in syria, more than a week after the
