And england name their biggest ever athletics squad for an overseas competition next years Commonwealth Games in australia. Good evening, plenty to come. But we start with Stuart Bingham. The 2015 World Snooker champion has been banned for six months for breaching wpbsa betting rules. Just over half of the ban is suspended if he complies with recommended treatment for his gambling issues, earlier, i spoke to the head of the Disciplinary Committee not more and askedif Disciplinary Committee not more and asked if he felt the punishment was sufficient. I investigate the case and i put the evidence before an independent panel, chaired by Nicholas Randall qc, who is completely independent of the association. All the evidence is put before him, he has considered it and come up with the finding he has. It is fairto and come up with the finding he has. It is fair to say we asked for a 6 9 month ban but the panel felt the ban as it should was more appropriate. Why did you think it should be longer . It is quite serious, this case, because you have a top professional who has been betting on snooker over a large number of years and since august 2009, it has been against the wpbsa members rules, so it is serious because it does undermine the integrity of the sport if you have players playing within it who are betting on matches and tournaments they are involved in. So we did see it as a serious case. We dont have an actual benchmark, which is felt slightly more long and was appropriate but we do accept the ban as put down by the panel. There have been quite a number of these incidents in snooker. Does the sport have a problem with gambling . Im not sure we have a problem as such. There have been some recent cases where bookmakers have noticed they have players with accounts on them and they are betting on sport and quite rightly, they refer that to me for investigation. We do a lot of education with players. I meet all the new players on tour, give them an induction about the rules. By me players want a one and 123 is when there is a tournament and discuss there is a tournament and discuss the rules and every time there is a change to the rule, we write to them to do discuss it. So there is no reason for them not to know but maybe there is a culture among some players that when you are away, hotel rooms, betting is awake to. Isa hotel rooms, betting is awake to. Is a leisure activity and u nfortu nately, is a leisure activity and unfortunately, they may think they have a better chance betting on snooker. Everton caretaker manager David Unsworth says he wants the job full time. The former defender, who made more than 300 appearances during two playing spells at the club, has been put in temporary charge following the dismissal of Ronald Koeman yesterday. Unsworth had a successful spell in charge of evertons under 23 side, and will lead the side at chelsea in the league cup tomorrow night. Who wouldnt want this job . It is a Wonderful Football Club with amazing fans and it is a top job for absolutely any manager, myself included. The chairman has given me an opportunity, farhad has given me an opportunity, the board have given me an opportunity, to hopefully get a run of games where the performance levels go up and we produce some wins as well. From that, performances and results will dictate any future for me as everton manager. We need to win, and the chairman, farhad, the board, they want a winning manager, so that could be anybody. If you win, the job. Winning manager, so that could be anybody. If you win, thejob. So i certainly want to try and perform and win and help the players to get to the position where we can start winning games. Tonight, Jose Mourinho and his Manchester United team travel to swa nsea Manchester United team travel to swansea in the afl cup fresh from their first swansea in the afl cup fresh from theirfirst domestic swansea in the afl cup fresh from their first domestic defeat of the season. Their first domestic defeat of the season. There is full commentary on radio 5live and it will be watched by former wales strikerjohn hartson and our very own ian dennis. The weather conditions here in swansea 01 weather conditions here in swansea or almost identical to West Yorkshire at the weekend, when huddersfield fumbled Manchester United and that is the setback Manchester United must bounce back from an mourinho ready ripped into his players at the weekend. I wonder, when players are collectively criticised as they have been, what is the mood of a dressing room . It is not to much players being criticised, it is what he said about them. He questioned their application and their attitude and i think thats something that, you know, we know it is Common Knowledge that he lost the dressing room at chelsea when he started to dig players out because of their attitudes and he wont want to lose the dressing room at Manchester United. And i think players can sometimes take yum brands at the umbrage when the manager questions their attitude, but i think there will be several changes tonight. It was a disappointing result, the first game they have lost in the legal season so he will be disappointed by that. I think he will be looking for a reaction, of course, but also it is a chance for some of the younger players to come in and show him they can play at this level. They have already been here in the premier league this season here in the premier league this season and won. Here in the premier league this season and w011. From here in the premier league this season and won. From swansea perspective, their home form last season was one of the key structures, really, to build a platform in order to keep them in the premier league. This year, they have at home. They have struggled under the first time in the last, what, six seasons, i think this is their seventh season if i am right in the top flight, i am a little worried for swansea. I dont see many leaders amongst them. I think they made a couple of signings, the likes of Wilfried Bony, which i would question because Wilfried Bony in the last couple of seasons, he did very, very little at Manchester City, did even less at stoke and, you know, he is injured again at this moment in time and i dont know where you can find your shop is if you havent been playing regularly. Swansea have brought him in hoping they will get a good run of form out of him, if he can recapture some of the form he showed a couple of seasons ago, but he is two years older, they have lost sigurdsson, of course, who is having a tough time at everton, so i dont think the recruitment has been great. Tammy abraham has scored a few goals, yes. He is very young, and it is a lot of pressure on abraham to lead the line in the premier league in his first season at this level, so i think, for me, swansea city right now, they look a little bit soft in certain areas and they still have a lot to do under paul clement, a lot to show me still. John hartson will be part of our Commentary Team on radio 5live and a place in the quarterfinals is at stake. A difficult season so far for Crystal Palace but not as bad in the afl cup. Roy hodgson takes his Crystal Palace side to ashton gate tonight to face bristol city. Itsafamilairground for the former england manager, its a familiar ground for the former england manager, having been where he started his managerial career back in england 35 years ago. Alistair durden reports. Roy hodgson had already been a managerial success in sweden when he arrived at bristol city, but things at ashton gate were not as he expected. In 1982, the club was in financial meltdown. Eight star players had to rip up their lucrative contracts to prevent it from folding and hodgson was left to pick up the pieces. If the bristol public dont respond now, after seeing how close we have come to extinction, then they arent going to respond and that is going to make everyones task more difficult in the future. City survived and roy hodgson would later manage all around europe before getting the england job. 35 years on from his departure, he returns to ashton gate to find the club in much better shape. Its a lovely city and im delighted to see them doing well, but ive got to say i rarely do look back on my long career and think it was at bristol city where it all started, it was pretty much a memory which i think i am entitled to erase because i left a very successful clu b to because i left a very Successful Club to come to a club that, after three weeks of being there, we were told was going to be shut down. Now 70, he is the oldest manager in the english professional game at almost twice the age of citys head coach. It isa twice the age of citys head coach. It is a credit, really, because i know how much energy it takes to put into football management and to go like he has done for as long as he has is nothing short of phenomenal. Last season, johnson survived his own city crisis, but winter nights a win tonight and his side have a League Cup Quarterfinal for the first time in 29 years. So six games in total tonight. Middlesbrough make the long midweek trip to bournemouth. Arsenal welcome norwich to the emirates. Leeds travel to leicester while Manchester City welcome championship leaders wolves. You can follow all the build up and action from the league cup this evening with 5live final score on the bbc sport website and mobile app or by pressing your red button from 7 oclock. City against wolves is your commentary game. The first Edinburgh Derby of the season takes place tonight as hibs take on hearts at easter road. This will be the first time the clubs have met in the premiership for over three years. 0ur senior football reporter Chris Mclaughlin is at the ground. There is always Something Special about hibs versus hearts under the floodlights here at easter road. Both sides facing each other in scotlands top flight for the First Time Since 2014. Here to discuss the match is the former scotland striker and bbc sport pundit steven thompson. Where do you see this game being won and lost tonight . |j thompson. Where do you see this game being won and lost tonight . I think it will be a hard fought game and will end it will be a hard fought game and willend up being it will be a hard fought game and will end up being the draw. Hearts come into the game with form, back to back victories. Hibernian getting knocked out of the cup in the semifinal, i was surprised at how slowly they started the semifinal and tonight will be a different story, they will come out and try and attack hearts but hearts have defended really well under craig levine, they have been difficult to break down and they will be difficult to break down tonight. I am expecting a battle, maybe not the most quality you will see ina maybe not the most quality you will see in a football match but a real battle between the sides tonight. Isaid battle between the sides tonight. I said earlier, we get an atmosphere to the games, especially these midweek fixtures, but you expected to be that battle as opposed to a good game of football . |j to be that battle as opposed to a good game of football . I do and traditionally, the derby hasnt produced a lot of quality, it is the pace and tempo of the game that will be truly frightening and im pretty sure it will be a battle. Maybe one moment of quality from either side, they both have players that can win games, walker for hearts and Anthony Stokes for hibernian, maybe that will win the game but i think it will win the game but i think it will be a draw. Steven thomson, thank you. An intriguing fixture thatis thank you. An intriguing fixture that is going to be noisy, it has been sold out for the past two weeks. Hibs versus hearts in the scottish capital, kick off 7 45pm. There are two other games tonight. Hamilton academical take on Partick Thistle and ross county make the trip to stjohnstone. Wales women are taking russia right now ina wales women are taking russia right now in a world cup qualifier. The game kicked off at 5pm in st petersburg. Currently goalless in the last few minutes. Scotland face albania later on. That game kicking off at 7 30pm in paisley. That is the football wrapped up. Plenty to get through still to come in the programme we meet the ironwoman whos swam, cycled and run her way to a silver medal in the World Championships. And the flame Lighting Ceremony for the Winter Olympics in pyeongchang next year have taken place at the games origins today, ancient 0lympia in greece. England have named their Athletics Team for next years Commonwealth Games on the gold coast in australia. It will be the largest team england have ever sent to an overseas event. Heres david mcdaid. Yes, 75 athletes named today by team england for next aprils games and among them, greg rutherford, adam gemili and dina asher smith. She has won 0lympic bronze and world silva with the 100 relay team and she feels those experiences will mean she is aiming for the top of the podium in the gold coast. We have probably got a really good shot at getting the gold now. We have so many amazing sprinters around the world from other great sprinting nations, the bahamas, jamaica, other countries like that, so there will be stiff competition but coming off a world silva medal are definitely aiming forthat a world silva medal are definitely aiming for that goal. Dina asher smith one of the top names in the squad going to australia but cj luger, perhaps the best sprinter on the mends side in great britain, he is not on the plane ujah. Ujah has instead decided to prioritise the world indoor championships in birmingham next march. They obviously know the world, wealth games is on and we had the discussion, the opportunity is offered but we respect what the athlete wants to do and what the Coaching Team wants to do and they have to look at it in terms of the whole length of their career and actually pick, you know, where am i going, what do i see as my Key Opportunities in championships that will lead me to my best performances over my career . So we respect the decisions people make. Once fought backin decisions people make. Once fought back in the Commonwealth Games schedule this time is racewalking one sport. It missed out in glasgow in 2014 and one of the big medal hopes is the world record holder tom bosworth. You may remember him in the summer in the World Championships, he received three red cards on the maul and was distraught at having been disqualified. Understandably, he is keen to make much better memories this time around in australia. Ive had a lot of things to get over and move on and having a Commonwealth Games in april next year, so soon, that has been a huge help and having been selected for this team means i can now move forwards, learn from it. I will never forget that day ever but it will only make me better. Bosworth hopeful of getting among the medals. Glasgow 2014, england 127 medals in track and field but just five of them gold england won 27 medals. The feeling in a campy as they is that they can come back with more medals, more of them gold. Coach Warren Gatland announced his squad for the autumn internationals. Having not started a game for wales for more than two years, Rhys Priestland is back but there are no places among the 36 man squad for centre Jamie Roberts, the scarlets Scott Williams or long serving second row luke charteris. Tomos dafydd reports. He had been written off, damaged by abuse from fans on social media, Rhys Priestland took a break from the International Scene two years ago. The fly half hasnt started for wales since 2015, but now he is back, playing with confidence for bath, a player rejuvenated. The big challenge for us is to keep him being confident, to get him not reading social media and negative reports sometimes, because, you know, there is no doubt that obviously had a negative impact on him in the past. Scrumhalf rhys webb is included, despite being ineligible for next season due to the selection rules. Gatland suggested there could be a way back for him if there was an injury crisis. If there was that situation, a crisis at scrum half, you would like to think common sense would prevail and people would allow the situation to evolve, but at this stage, i dont know how that is going to eventuate and what would happen. And, you know, we are at the mercy, might be at the mercy of other people agreeing to Something Like that. Among the five uncapped players is the scarlet hadleigh parkes, born in new zealand, he will have lived in wales for three years by the time of the december game on the second against south africa and will qualify to wear the red jersey. The olympics rugby sevens silver medallist sam crosses also brought in. Raised today for his pace and athleticism. There are several familiarfaces athleticism. There are several familiar faces who havent been picked. Scott baldwin, bitten by a line in south africa a few weeks ago, said he could have lost his hand. Today, he lost his place, confirming his fears that a lack of by confirming his fears that a lack of rugby would harm his hopes. Luke charteris, Scott Williams and Jamie Roberts have a total of 215 caps between them. They all miss out. So does sam davies from the 0spreys. 0ther does sam davies from the 0spreys. Other players are not included because of fitness issues. Ross moriarty hasnt played since a back injury ended his lions tour. Sam warburton and george north are also injured. Coach Warren Gatland said they are not out of contention, but wa nted they are not out of contention, but wanted to try to expose younger players to international rugby, trying to strike a balance with being competitive this autumn and planning for the future, with the world cup two years away. The scotland head coach Gregor Townsend has also named his squad, including ten uncapped players. The scots face samoa, new zealand and australia. However, there is no place for edinburgh flankerjohn hardy, suspended by both club and country due to alleged cockayne use john macro two. Should drug cheats be made criminals . The government has ruled out criminalising doping in sport, after conducting what it calls extensive interviews with sports bodies and anti doping organisations. In a review published today, they say criminalisation would slow down the processes already in place, to tackle cheating. Well, we looked into this very carefully a nd well, we looked into this very carefully and conducted an extensive review into the issue around criminalisation and we genuinely believe that the
