—— who died after an asthma tack. usually significant recognising that air pollution is very extremely damaging and is dangerous. that is right. and her family welcomed the decision, she died in 2013, so they have spent a long time waiting for this ruling. it is really stark. it is absolutely tragic. and of course it is significant because it is, as you say, the first time air pollution has been ruled as a factor ina pollution has been ruled as a factor in a death. and it is something that her mother has been just relentless and tireless in campaigning to get this recognised. absolutely, and it is just incredibly admirable, this recognised. absolutely, and it isjust incredibly admirable, and i know from having worked for an empty before, from being involved in politics, that air pollution is something that people really care about —— worked for in mp. it is something nmp will have in their inbox all the time, something people are talking about, this is a climate crisis. we are going to have to talk about these things a lot more. we have seen the target become more ambitious recently, now we need to see action to make sure that we can reach those really ambitious targets. 0k, desperately sad as well, a number of the papers showing that stunning picture. let's and on the daily telegraph and the image, the daily telegraph and the image, the cambridge, but the store and wa nt to the cambridge, but the store and want to focus on is the minister for women and equalities will be speaking tomorrow at a think tank. —— the story i want to. just expect was race and gender means. what is liz truss about to say? liz truss is tomorrow going to set out what has been described as a pivot away from what was previously the brief of the equalities minister towards what she is going to redefine, as she says, and this, according to the readout from the speech, will be less focused on quotas, less focused on unconscious bias training, less focused on what she describes as things that were brought in by the left, by new labour, and what she says do not work, so we'll see what she says does work and i think... the preview says that there will be a pivot towardsjust the preview says that there will be a pivot towards just different the preview says that there will be a pivot towardsjust different ideas and different ways of measuring equality, but i think we are... the devil will be in the detail and see how that actually affects government policy and also the story, interestingly, point out that her department also had quite a high gender pay gap, according to recent figures, so i do not know if you will be addressing that tomorrow. we will be addressing that tomorrow. we will wait and see. sienna, why is she doing this? in the story, it says that apparently liz truss believes there has been an over emphasis on the campaign groups like black lives matter, and we've seen tory mps a lot of the time going on tv and trying to talk about how black lives matter is just a political movement and should basically be ignored because it is to left wing there are some seriously problematic comments made there that have been briefed, and as animation, it has been pointed out today her own department has gone backwards on equal pay, so that is not brilliant that she is women and a qualities minister but she is also responsible for international trade, sure he has been celebrating —— she has been elevating these trade deals. the pay to male employees has shot up under her watch, that is something she might like to think about. interesting to see how that speech will go down at the centre for disease control and prevention policy studies, the think tank. thank you —— centre for disease control —— for the time being, thank you very much and we would back with our paper review gets in around half an hour's time, so i hope you canjoin us hour's time, so i hope you canjoin us then —— we will be back. good evening. we'll start with the news that liverpool are on top of the premier league tonight. it's after a last—minute winner from roberto firmino earned them a 2—1win over tottenham. jose mourinho's side began the night ahead of the reigning champions on goal difference, but they fell behind as mohamed salah's shot looped in off spurs defender toby alderweireld. but spurs didn't take long to level, as son heung—min scored his 99th spurs goal from giovani lo celso's through ball. with the game looking destined for a draw, roberto firmino popped up with a fine header to clinch the win and put his side clear at the top. leeds thrashed newcastle 5—2 at elland road. the match looked set for a draw when it was made 2—2 after the hour mark, but leeds scored three goals in ten minutes, including this brilliant strike from jack harrison, securing them all three points. leicester were beaten by 2—0 at home to everton. richarlison‘s first half strike put carlo ancelotti's side ahead at the king power stadium, before mason holgate doubled the lead after the break. everton are up to fifth. but the pressure continues to build on mikel arteta after arsenal dropped points yet again. they were held to a 1—1 draw at home to southampton. to make matters worse, former arsenal player theo walcott gave southampton the lead at the emirates. but the home side managed to rescue a point when pierre—emerick aubameyang equalised for them in the second half. arsenal are just five points above the relegation zone. it finished 1—1 in the london derby between west ham and crystal palace. christian benteke, who was later sent off, had put palace ahead with his third goal in as many games. but a spectacular overhead kick from sebastien haller earned the hammers a point at the london stadium. sam allardyce is back in the premier league after being appointed as west brom boss following the sacking of slaven bilic. the 66—year—old has been out of the game for two and a half years after leaving everton back in 2018. allardyce has previously taken charge of seven clubs in the premier league and is yet to be relegated from the top flight. west brom are 19th in the table with just seven points. in other news, trials for concussion substitues have been approved by football's lawmakers, ifab, this afternoon. from next month, it means that clubs could get an additional substitution for incidents like this. you might remember wolves striker rauljiminez suffered a fractured skull after a clash of heads with arsenal's david luiz, who carried on playing for a while, after being treated on the touchline. it's set to be introduced by the fa for its competitions from january, with premier league clubs voting on it tomorrow. it's been a long time coming. i think there's been a general reluctance, particularly within the fa, to acknowledge there's even a problem. and i don't think they've done enough or acted quickly enough. and it takes a horrific incident like the luiz—jiminez one to actually make them do something. the football association is looking into a crowd—related incident at cambridge united, afterfans were heard booing players taking a knee against racism before last night's game with colchester. it follows similar incidents at both millwall and a home colchester game. cambridge say the actions of a "tiny majority" — in their words — is "hugely disappointing". people should really get the impression... not get the impression that this is normalfor cambridge, it really isn't, and it was a small number of people. the vast majority of our fans are completely opposed to racism in all its forms. we're an incredibly liberal—minded unit, and this was just so out of step. so it's disappointing, but we'll deal with it. sunderland have postponed their next three matches and closed their training ground for ten days following a covid outbreak at the club. their game at shrewsbury town, along with home matches against blackpool and hull city, have all been called off. eight players missed last night's draw with afc wimbledon. that game went ahead despite one player testing positive for coronavirus on monday. but now, a further four cases have been confirmed among players and staff at the club's academy of light training base. and exeter‘s heineken champions cup match at toulouse on sunday has been cancelled because of a covid—19 outbreak at the chiefs. glasgow's home game against lyon on saturday is also off because they played exeter last weekend. 20 warriors players are now self—isolating. 0ur rugby union correspondent chrisjones says european bosses are now going to meet to decide what happens next. because of fixture congestion, very little to no chance these games can be rearranged, so now a european cup panel will meet to decide how and whether and why a team couldn't fulfil the fixture and therefore how to allocate the match points. so more news on that in due course, what happens to those match points that would been played for in these games, but confirmation again that glasgow against lyon and toulouse against exeter have both been cancelled. that's all of the sport. bye for now. hello there. on wednesday, we saw a pretty deep area of low pressure sweep up from the south to bring rain and gales, particularly to western areas. today, though, it's looking a bit quieter. we're in between weather systems, so we should see a good deal of sunshine around. it'll stay quite breezy too, though, not quite as windy as it has been. so that's wednesday's low pushing away to the north of the uk. this feature will come in during thursday night. and in between, we've got a good slice of drier weather. there'll be a few showers around this morning, mind you, across southern and western areas, plenty of sunshine across eastern scotland, central and england, areas here staying dry all day. out west, we'll see further showers and the clouds will tend to build up here through the afternoon, and the outbreaks of rain will start to arrive across northern ireland, along with strengthening winds. it'll be quite fresh across northern and eastern areas, 9—10 celsius around average, but it will be turning quite milder further west as this band of rain and stronger winds spreads across the country as we head through thursday night. followed by further areas of cloud and showers to the south and west, and it'll be turning very mild across the south, with lows overnight 12—13 celsius. and after a chilly start in the north, it'll be turning milder there too. now this is the pressure chart for friday — and you can see we're back to very unsettled weather, this active weather front with lots of isobars on the chart, meaning wet and windy weather moving our way. so we'll start off a little brightness across the north east england, northeast scotland, but generally a rather cloudy, misty, murky day with some patchy drizzle across the east, heavy rain across western areas, chances of flooding for southwest england and south wales, areas which have seen lots of rain already. and it'll be a windy day, those gusts showing 30—40 mph for many, particularly across southern and western coasts. with our winds coming in from the south, it's going to be a very mild day for the time of year, highs of 13—15 celsius for example in parts of northeast wales. low pressure sticks around as we head on into the weekend, it'll send bands of showers into the northern and western areas. but there will be some sunshine around too, you'll notice the mild air starts to get replaced with those bluer tinges, so it'll be cooling down through the weekend. so a sunshine and showers weekend, most showers across western areas. and then, it'll be cooling down, and that'll be particularly noticeable as we head through sunday. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. fourteen people are found guilty in france's biggest ever terrorist trial — over islamist attacks on a jewish supermarket
