6:38 pm
campaign for wales, who are fourth in group d, with just four points from four games. they trail group leaders turkey by six points and are three adrift of second—placed croatia, who have a game in hand. so, a win against bottom side latvia is all—but essential if they are to qualify automatically. well, northern ireland find themselves in a similarly difficult position. their 1—0 defeat to kazakhstan was their fifth in a row, and it leaves them second bottom of group h, withjust three points from their six games. they're ten points behind group leaders slovenia and denmark, with only the top two qualifying automatically. scotland though, are flying. steve clarke's side top group a, having won all five of their games, and they're on the brink of qualifying for the championships next summer in germany. well, scotland have the distraction tomorrow of the "not—so" friendly
6:39 pm
against the auld enemy england. hampden will host the 150th anniversary heritage match, marking the very first international fixture which took place between the two sides in 1872. in their 115 meetings, scotland have generally been the underdogs, but they are the in—form team after england could only manage a draw against ukraine. 0ur sports correspondent katie gornall is at hampden. there is an awful lot of excitement and optimism surrounding scotland here at hampton park, and with good reason. scotland as we've been hearing are interest has stick form at the moment, they have risen 20 places in the world rankings to 30th under steve clark. spain and norway in european qualifying, they could even qualify for the euros tomorrow night, that's if norway and georgia ends in a draw. right now all that is occupying the mind of steve
6:40 pm
clark, is the challenge of england. at that match will be the perfect barometer for how far his side have progressed. tote barometer for how far his side have progressed-— progressed. we had a good comfortable _ progressed. we had a good comfortable evening, - progressed. we had a good comfortable evening, then| progressed. we had a good i comfortable evening, then we progressed. we had a good - comfortable evening, then we see what we can do against a team that is always in the later stage of later tournaments, that's the benchmark we want to judge ourselves against, and we'll find out tomorrow night how close we are.— night how close we are. meanwhile entland night how close we are. meanwhile england travel— night how close we are. meanwhile england travel here _ night how close we are. meanwhile england travel here to _ night how close we are. meanwhile england travel here to glasgow - night how close we are. meanwhile england travel here to glasgow off| england travel here to glasgow off that boisterous atmosphere in poland. southgate admitted in the aftermath of that match that his side weren't quite at their best and they didn't click and attack. he was asked earlier hear what the approach would be for this game against scotland given that it's a friendly, that wasn't the sort of a cage and you can tinker around with the team. you can't fiddle around with the team, _ you can't fiddle around with the team, because we are playing a top-level— team, because we are playing a top—level side, be at full tilt and giving _ top—level side, be at full tilt and giving us — top—level side, be at full tilt and giving us a — top—level side, be at full tilt and giving us a really high challenge. so you _ giving us a really high challenge. so you can't overlay experiments
6:41 pm
because — so you can't overlay experiments because that would be ridiculous. now, _ because that would be ridiculous. now, england have a decent record against scotland but they know they will have to overcome a hostile atmosphere here at hampton park to come out on top against steve clark's side. it may be a friendly, but this is a celebration of football's old lists rivalry and a rivalry that is still as intense as ever. germany host the men's european championship next summer, but at the moment they don't have anyone to manage them. hansi flick was sacked after they lost 4—1 to japan in a friendly. it's the first time in history that a german manager has been dismissed and now, they're targeting a new coach to take them into the tournament with former bayern munich boss julian nagelsmann among the favourites. earlier i spoke to german football journalist constantin eckner who said things came to a head over the weekend.
6:42 pm
the outing against japan which was actually meant to be or intended to be like kind of a redemption game, after they lost to japan at the world cup. but that turned out to be disastrous for undefeated, also... that wasn't really the answer a lot of people wanted him to give. d0 answer a lot of people wanted him to tive. ,., , ., answer a lot of people wanted him to . ive. , ., , answer a lot of people wanted him to ive. , ., , ., give. do they have their eye on next ear 's give. do they have their eye on next year 's home — give. do they have their eye on next year 's home euros _ give. do they have their eye on next year 's home euros for germany? i give. do they have their eye on next. year 's home euros for germany? the attention year 's home euros for germany? iie: attention right year 's home euros for germany? "iie: attention right now year 's home euros for germany? iie: attention right now in year 's home euros for germany? i““ie: attention right now in the year 's home euros for germany? iie: attention right now in the football association is the european championship that is a big tournament, it is of course also from the perspective of publicity and general football association wants to generate a plus around this tournament, and you've got an national team that is struggling, not winning any games against
6:43 pm
notable opponents. the sense of urgency and that's why the association decided to fire the national coach for the first time in the first time in history.— the first time in history. there've been quite _ the first time in history. there've been quite a _ the first time in history. there've been quite a few— the first time in history. there've been quite a few big _ the first time in history. there've been quite a few big names - the first time in history. there'vel been quite a few big names linked with the position to replace him, which big names in particular today for you, and how realistic do you feel they might be? flit for you, and how realistic do you feel they might be?— for you, and how realistic do you feel they might be? of course some in entland feel they might be? of course some in england speculate _ feel they might be? of course some in england speculate that _ feel they might be? of course some in england speculate that europe . feel they might be? of course some | in england speculate that europe cup might be on the list, i guess the german fa would be up in arms, happy about becoming a national coach, but it's not a realistic scenario at this point in time at least. so they will approach the former bear and coach who is right now out of a job, enmity a summer who hasn't had a full—time coaching position in over 15 years but was the sporting director of the football association and who is regarded as one of the
6:44 pm
proudest football mines in germany just all around. the young prospect, he is only 36 which sometimes you might forget because he has been around for a couple of years now. if he is really interested in the job we don't know, may be a one—year dealjust coaching a team at the euros and then leaving again because he wants to pursue a career at the club level. but yeah, that's up in the air, these two names that will be approached by the football association. now, this man prompted a global debate about sexism and abuses of power in women's football, but finally, luis rubiales has resigned as president of the spanish football federation. he confirmed the news during a sit—down interview with talk tv�*s piers morgan, saying his role had become untenable. it follows spanish midfielder jenny hermoso filing a legal complaint against him for — what she has called — a non—consensual kiss during the women's world cup final presentation ceremony last month.
6:45 pm
earlier i spoke to spanish journalist antia andre and began by asking her if she was surprised at the lack of remorse from rubiales. steinway says the situation has brought everyone in the women's game together. we brought everyone in the women's game totether. . ., �* ., , ., , together. we don't want this to be the end of something, _ together. we don't want this to be the end of something, we - together. we don't want this to be the end of something, we want. together. we don't want this to be | the end of something, we want this to be the beginning of something. so everybody as a one's football group, we fought as journalists for the outcome to be what it is. and obviously the outcome is what we want but at the same time we want this to be the start of something rather than the end of something. we want to continue to have these conversations, feel comfortable to have these conversations. feel comfortable in your workplace to be able to stand up for whatever you think is right and i think that's where we will show in the women's game, together we are so much more powerful and together we can make change and this can be the start of something going forward where we can be united as a team to continue to push for what is right.
6:46 pm
they made the biggest achievement of their life. _ they made the biggest achievement of their life, and the focus had to be on that— their life, and the focus had to be on that for— their life, and the focus had to be on that for the following week instead — on that for the following week instead of them just being able to celebrate — instead of them just being able to celebrate and enjoy themselves, they have to _ celebrate and enjoy themselves, they have to focus on these kinds of topics — have to focus on these kinds of topics but— have to focus on these kinds of topics. but i think it shows that the powers with the players, i think what. _ the powers with the players, i think what, what has been proven now since the reaction _ what, what has been proven now since the reaction of everyone, i think it shows— the reaction of everyone, i think it shows that — the reaction of everyone, i think it shows that the players have a lot of power _ shows that the players have a lot of power if _ shows that the players have a lot of power if they are united and they speak— power if they are united and they speak up. — power if they are united and they speak up, and i think that is a positive — speak up, and i think that is a positive sign. regularly i spoke to auntie andre. any of the spanish and worldwide journalists that we are following this case, his behaviour was not a good one of course and in his statement he said that he didn't
6:47 pm
want to harm any more for spanish football, but the truth is he already did. so it wasn't really a surprise that he was trying just to keep him aware, morejudging from people in spain and it is of course, unfortunately not surprising that he didn't apologise to jenni unfortunately not surprising that he didn't apologise tojenni hermoso. is there a section of spanish society that feels that rubiales did nothing wrong?— nothing wrong? there is, i don't know if it's _ nothing wrong? there is, i don't know if it's 5096, _ nothing wrong? there is, i don't know if it's 5096, but _ nothing wrong? there is, i don't know if it's 5096, but you - nothing wrong? there is, i don't know if it's 5096, but you know l nothing wrong? there is, i don't| know if it's 5096, but you know in know if it's 50%, but you know in spain we are so divided about some social topics, feminism is one of them. and yeah, many overall men, they think that he hasn't done anything bad because it was a moment of euphoria. but i think it's not the behaviour of a boss and the boss
6:48 pm
of the spanish football federation, it's not a well behaviour but i am so sad to say, he hadn't done anything. that's the reason he hasn't it resigned before because he have many people supporting him. hagar have many people supporting him. how depressing is it that almost a month on from them winning come of the greatest achievement in women's football, the world cup, instead of spain celebrating the success of their players, this conversation is dominating. their players, this conversation is dominating-— dominating. that is so saddening because three _ dominating. that is so saddening because three weeks _ dominating. that is so saddening because three weeks after - dominating. that is so saddening because three weeks after that i dominating. that is so saddening - because three weeks after that world championship, we are still talking about him. we are still talking about him. we are still talking about tim beck to, he is the main character. i would like to say that they have enough... i think that wasn't enough and one thing i would
6:49 pm
like to say this, spanish football has one more than world champions. and i think they won, it won't be the last time they can have the time to celebrate another one. at the age of 36, novak djokovic is back to the top of the tennis rankings. to defeat daniil medvedev in three sets and win a men's 24th grand slam title, equalling margaret court's record. he is the oldest us open champion in the new era, he has now won the tournament four times. the new era, he has now won the tournament fourtimes. speaking tournament four times. speaking earlier on the tournament fourtimes. speaking earlier on the cbs morning show he spoke about the... to get his level in tennis.

impressive performance, despite that red card for tom currie. for all the delight there was from those three for drop goals in marseille for all the fans that travelled there, will be concerned now for tom curry who had really been built up by a lot of the press following england how he was going in that match, for him to place a little of it. that was a huge disappointment not only for him but for england france. that reputation around discipline and had contact, when pharaoh, the england captain he is now out and band for another game againstjapan. it's highly likely against japan. it's highly likely that againstjapan. it's highly likely that tom curry will receive a four match band. we will be expecting but likely reduced by two games, that disciplinary hearing will be heard tomorrow so we may hear the result
