winter break to avoid fixtures being impacted by capped capacities. under new covid measures in scotland, outdoor sporting events can have a maximum of 500 people attending from boxing day for three weeks. that includes the old firm derby at celtic park on the 2nd of january. the winter break�*s scheduled to start on the 4th of january but clubs say it should be brought forward so that more fans can hopefully attend matches at a later date. wales had already made the decision to ban spectators from sunday which means horseracing's welsh grand national at chepstow will be held without spectators. there are so many people looking forward to that because last year we didn't have spectators, and, yeah, it's really, well, frustrating, deflating, disappointing, tough on the staff, a lot of works gone into preparing it. we've been working on preparing it. we've been working on preparing the site for at least a month, six weeks. no such restrictions in england at this stage course. liverpool assistant manager pep ljinders says it's absurd that they have to play two games in four days when the club's dealing with several covid cases and injuries. the premier league chose to fulfil its festive fixtures at a meeting yesterday, but lijnders says the league should listen to the doctors and scientists and not to managers and club officials when making decisions about how to deal with the virus: for me, they are not the managers. the experts are the scientists and the doctors. we should follow their guidelines and they should be asked in the premeire league should ask them, not the managers, they should ask them. it all comes from position number one above everything. if there's one common behaviour in this pandemic over the last years that we always acted too late. always. and that we were from one health crisis into another. the efl cup continues as normal. liverpool play leicester in the league cup tomorrow — arsenal are already through to the semi—finals after they beat sunderland 5—1 — the only non premier league side that was left in the competition. the gunners controlled the game from—kick—off and eddie nketiah put them ahead after quarter of an hour. nicolas pepe added another butjust a few minutes later the league one side pulled one back through nathan broadhead. rsenal re—stablished their 2 goal advantage after the break, putting the game beyond sunderlad with nketiah completing his first senior hat—trick as he added 2 more goals. and there was a special moment for 18 year old charlie patino here who made it 5—1 on his senior debut. tottenham head coach antonio conte says uefa's decision to effectively throw them out of the europa conference league is incredible and one that he doesnt understand. spurs were forced to forfeit theirfinal group game against french side rennes after they said they were unable to field a side because of a covid outbreak, and no new date to play could be agreed with uefa. it meant spurs were knocked out — but conte says the matter might not be overjust yet. very disappointed with the decision and i do not understand and i do not want to understand, but i hope that in the future, or in the next step, we look out and something can change because we deserve to play the qualification but not in this way because it is not our fault. a judge has found the formerjockey graham gibbons was responsible for the fall that left fellow jockey freddy tylicki paralysed from the waist down. the high court ruled that gibbons' actions were reckless. the incident at kempton in october 2016 left tylicki paralysed after his horse was brought down by the horse ridden by gibbons. the stewards on the night ruled the incident to be accidental. howeverjudge karen walden—smith ruled that, on the balance of probabilities, gibbons's actions during the race were "undertaken "in reckless disregard for the safety of freddie tylicki". australia have added uncapped fast bowler scott boland to their squad for the third ashes test in melbourne. boland comes in as cover, while fellow pacemen pat cummins and josh hazelwood also return. as for england — they'll need to re—group after going 2—nil down. but england coach chris silverwood is sticking by his selections so far and says he has no regrets and would pick the same again. looking at the experience they were having out there, i'm happy with the skill set of the tests and there'll always divided opinion. and not everyone is going to agree with you. that is the beauty of sports. and so, yeah, i've got no problem with that. and we have those outing this test i bet it was really good. and so, i've got no problem with that, to be honest. one player england would have hoped to have available for the ashes isjofra archer — the fast bowler was ruled out through injury. and there was a futher blow today, as it emerged he'll miss the whole of the winter schedule after a second operation on a stress fracture in his right elbow. england are due to tour the west indies later in the new year. archer, who last played for england in march, will now target a return in the summer. and formula 1 driver nicholas latifi has revealed he received death threats after crashing out of the abu dhabi grand prix. his wreckage meant a safety car had to be deployed, ultimately taking away the sizable gap lewis hamilton had built up over his rival max verstappen. verstappen went on to win the race and the championship, after catching up with hamilton behind the safety car. latifi says he was shocked by the scale and tone of the hate and abuse he received online. he added that he'd expected some of it and deleted social media apps off his phone immediately after the race. and that's all the sport for now. from me and the team here, good night. hello again. well, we're going to see some changes in our weather pattern through wednesday as this area of cloud that's just out in the atlantic starts to encroach. that will eventually bring some rain, particularly into western areas, with milder southerly winds spreading in as well. before we get there, though, it's a chilly start to the day with some patches of frost for central and eastern areas of the country. in some of the deeper valleys in scotland, we're seeing temperatures of, what, —9, —10 degrees, so a very cold start here. now, through wednesday, as i say, this area of rain is on the way, and it's going to be arriving pretty quickly in northern ireland accompanied by those strengthening southerly winds. so, it will be turning progressively milder here pretty quickly through the day. elsewhere, a few brighter spells across central and eastern england, perhaps for northern scotland, too, but generally a lot of cloud further west with that rain continuing to push its way northwards and eastwards through the day. top temperatures around about 4—7 for many, but as that rain bumps into that colder air, well, some of those valleys could still have temperatures below freezing. so, there is a risk, and quite a significant risk i think, of seeing icy conditions out on the roads through wednesday evening, either due to freezing rain or rain falling on frozen surfaces. now, for thursday, we've got another weather front that's set to move its way in. now, i think it may well start off with rather murky conditions across much of the country, a few mist and fog patches over the hills, and rain. well, that rain's going to be heavier, particularly swinging across northern ireland, northern england, into parts of scotland as well. very mild in the south, 13 degrees, but we're starting to get some colder air spreading into the far north of the uk. and for christmas eve, we'll continue to have those kind of temperature contrasts. another weather front, this one concentrating rain across northern ireland, wales and the south west of england, still with mild air here. further north, we've got those chillier conditions with wintry showers beginning to spread in across the northern isles. and for saturday, which of course is christmas day, we're going to have this battle zone somewhere across the uk. now, this is not set in stone. it could move a little bit further southwards perhaps over the next few days. for the north of the uk, we may well see a few snow showers, that is a possibility. the south west more likely to see cloudy skies, grey conditions, rain and mild weather. and there's a small chance we could see something a little bit more disruptive, but itjust depends where this boundary ends up being. at the moment, it's here. cold air to the north, milder in the south west, but watch this space. welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines — president biden announces new measures to tackle the omicron variant, promising free testing and 10,000 new vaccination sites. let me say again and again and again and again, please get vaccinated. it's the only responsible thing to do. borisjohnson says there will be no new restrictions in england before christmas as the uk government also announces more than $1 billion for the hospitality industry. the high court in london orders the ruler of dubai to pay more than $700 million in a divorce settlement to his ex—wife, princess haya ofjordan. and we take you back to a time when mobile phones looked like
