Thats all in review 2019, with me, mark kermode. Tottenhams premier league win over chelsea, appears to be have been marred by racist behaviour from the crowd. The referee stopped play in the second half, after an object was thrown onto the pitch. He was then approached by chelsea defender, antonio rudiger. An address made over tottenhams public address system then warned, racist behaviour is interfering with the game. Tottenham have now released a statement, which says, we are now conducting a thorough investigation which will include liaising with chelsea and their players for their observations. Any form of racism is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated in our stadium. We take any such allegations extremely seriously and shall take the strongest possible action against any individual found to be behaving in such a way, including stadium bans. Well, heres how the chelsea captain responded to the incident. What is clear is that we are first of all a club that is very active and we raise a lot of campaigns towards racism. We are very active in that, and every time we meet the premier League Referees before the game, we are told to report if any incident happens. After the red card, it happened. Antonio came to me and told me that he was listening to monkey noises in the crowd, and part of myjob as captain is to report it to the ref. There is an investigation now, and we have to work towards the eradication of the problem. It is an issue in life and in football, unfortunately, and we need to keep working on it. The manager of tottenham, jose mourinho, was also quick to condemn the events that unfolded. In football, im disappointed that things like that can still happen, but the referee stopped the game, spoke to the players, spoke to the captain, spoke to the coaches. I was losing and i did not want the game to be stopped but immediately when i knew the reason why the game was stopped, i obviously understood and accepted it and i think also the clu b accepted it and i think also the club is a very proud club in this kind of situation and the club, internally, will try to delete it. Earlier our sport correspondent, andy swiss, explained how procedure was carried out in the stadium earlier. Under uefa protocol, games can be abandoned if fans have already been warned twice before. What has emerged is that although there were three warnings, there were not three separate incidents, there was one incident and three warnings for that one incident but clearly this is another very worrying piece of news for english football. Weve seen a string of incidents in recent months in the english game, allegations of racist abuse from fans and we saw that at the Manchester Derby earlier this month and we saw it in the fa cup match between haringey and yeovil which had to be abandoned and this will clearly be a huge worry for those involved in the english games, the players, the authorities andindeed games, the players, the authorities and indeed the fans. In the past few minutes, cheslesas antonio rudiger, whom that racist chanting was directed at, has posted a picture on instagram, with the hashtag captions no to racism, hashtag please get some basic education. Well, joining me on the line now is rob hastings, a Tottenham Supporter who was at the match. Thanks for speaking to us, so what did you see and hear . Hello. I should say first of all the we were at the opposite end of the ground from where the alleged incident happened, so although i would say we did not see or hear anything, theres no way we couldnt do from where we were. The ref had stopped the game and was chatting to the players and then ran across to speak to the managers, so i sit with my father and we were singing what is going on here, and following the racist incidents that england have enjoyed an international matches, i suppose football fans are a bit more educated in terms of the protocols of what happens when these incidents occui. Of what happens when these incidents occur. So i said to my dad, the only thing i could think of is that someone thing i could think of is that someone has thrown something or somebody has said something racist. Because we now know that that is what the referees do when those things happen. So the referee ran over to the managers, spoke to them for a few seconds and then ran back and play continued. And i dont know how long afterwards it might have been a couple of minutes, and an announcement was made to the entire stadium saying along the lines of this is a security announcement, racist behaviour is interfering with the game and racism plays no part in football, Something Like that. And then, i dont know, maybe within 20 minutes, that announcement was played again another couple of times. Ive been a season Ticket Holder at spurs for only three years but ive been going to matches regularly for the past 15, i would say and ive never seen or heard anything racist, so its quite a shock when your own club is involved in this. There was an incident i think last season where somebody was alleged to have thrown a banana at an arsenal fan and that was equally shocking. But spurs, as a club, it has quite a jewish identity and so the club over the years has been, the club over the years has been, the fans, they have been the victims of racism over the years and its just disgusting and horrible to hear that your own club now is involved in this. And it obviously only takes one fan amid 60,000 to do something stupid and horrible to tarnish the name of the club and the fans and the whole community, i suppose. You did say plenty of the fans are pretty aware of what tends to happen in incidents like this. Is there a general knowledge about the so called uefa protocols, about the action that would be taken . Well, i dont know. I dont know the extent to which other people know about this, but the england game a few weeks ago, it was sort of quite widely anticipated that there might be racism in the away game there, so there was lots of Media Coverage about what would happen if a racist incident happened, and harry kane, who is currently the captain of totte n ha m who is currently the captain of tottenham and england, he spoke about whether to lead players off the pitch or not and england didnt do that in the end but racism is how everybody saw it on the tv in that match. So i think fans, some, like us might have spotted when the referee went to the manager and thought, whats happening here . But like i say, the fans i was speaking to after the match, everyone was just really embarrassed that it should be our club involved in this and obviously its something in wider society. Its notjust a problem in football and i suppose when lots of fans are together and they are very passionate in those circumstances, thats when some of these horrible things can come out, that its something that is a problem in society generally and it is sad that may be football provokes it sometimes. 0k, rob hastings, thank you for your time. Plenty more on this story in our sport bulletin, just after 8. 15pm. The australian prime minister, scott morrison, has defended his governments record on tackling Climate Change, as bushfires continue to rage across parts of the country. Under pressure for being on holiday when two firefighters died, hes now said there is a link between Global Warming and the ferocity and extent of this years fires. More than 100 are still burning in New South Wales, as our correspondent, Shaimaa Khalil reports. It feels like a deserted war zone. But this is the aftermath of the catastrophic bushfires that have ravaged New South Wales. In the village of balmoral, the devastation is everywhere. The prime minister, scott morrison, appearing for the first time today after fierce criticism of his holiday in hawaii, conceded that more needed to be done to tackle Global Warming, with scientists saying that drier conditions brought about by Climate Change have worsened the impact of bushfires. We must take action on Climate Change. We are taking action on Climate Change. There is no argument about the links between in my view and the governments view, and any government of this country about the links between broader issues of global Climate Change and weather events around the world. Russell scholes has been a volunteer firefighter for six years. He was out with his team, trying to control the blaze in the village, when his own house was burnt to the ground. So many of the brigade are tired. Thats the mental side of it, when you are continually battling something you cant beat. The only thing that will beat this is mother nature, when she decides to open the heavens up and put it out. So we cant. We are running out of water here. Catastrophic fires have subsided, but the situation is still extremely dangerous here. The roads remain closed off. Balmoral was one of the worst hit areas by saturdays fires, and the community is still very much in shock. Many have not returned to see what happened to their homes and what happened to their village. Just opposite the road from russells shattered house is a very different picture. Craig hurley stayed to defend his home during the fires, using up all the water reserves he had. Flames like a five or six storey building, just roaring all around you. Just scary as hell. You dont know what to do. Trying not to panic, but, yeah, we got the job done, so we saved most of the stuff. Australias bracing itself for a scorching summer and many are wondering where the next big fire is going to hit. Shaimaa khalil, bbc news, balmoral, New South Wales. A six Year Old Girl has opened a pack of Tesco Christmas cards, to find a message saying they were packed by prisoners in china, being forced to work against their will. Tesco says its stopped production at the factory while it investigates. Jon donnison has more. It was six year old schoolgirl Florence Widdicombe who had sat down at home to write out her Christmas Cards to her friends and family when she discovered one of the cards had already been written out. We were writing in them and on about my sixth or eighth card, there was somebody older who had written in it. The message read, we are foreign prisoners in shanghai qingpu prison, china, forced to work against our will. Please help us and notify human rights organisation. The first thought was it must be a prank, but on reflection we realised it was actually potentially quite a serious thing, and so i felt very shocked but i also felt a responsibility to pass it on to peter humphrey, as the author asked me to do. The family did just that and got in touch with the human rights journalist peter humphrey, who the message in the card had suggested they contact. He himself had spent time in qingpu prison for his part in an alleged corruption scandal. I spent two years in captivity in shanghai between 2013 and 2015, and my final nine months of captivity was in this very prison, in this very cell block where the message has come from, and these prisoners are living a very bleak daily life. There are 12 prisoners per cell and they sleep in very rusty iron bunk beds with a mattress not more than one centimetre thick. A tesco spokesperson said the company was shocked and it would never allow prison labour in its supply chain. Production at this factory has been suspended and an investigation has been launched. Jon donnison, bbc news, west london. The home secretary has met the father of harry dunn, the 19 year old who died in a car crash outside an raf base in northamptonshire in august. Priti patel said she wanted to reassure the family. The goverment is considering whether to ask for the extradition from the united states, of the driver charged over the crash, Anne Sacoolas. Duncan kennedy reports. The home secretary arrived in harry dunns home village to brief his family in person. Hello, good to meet you. Thank you. Inside, harrys dad, tim, said he welcomed the gesture. This is a Good Opportunity and thank you for coming to listen to what we need to say, and hopefully we can move forward and help other people if they ever get into this situation. Priti has come to try and hear from all of you. The fact that priti patel and andrea leadsom, the local mp, came here is a sign of how much impact the case is having. Harry dunn was killed last august when his motorbike collided with a car. Anne sacoolas, here on her wedding day, was charged this week with causing harrys death by dangerous driving, but she left britain, claiming diplomatic immunity. The home secretary said she would do all she could. It was a nice opportunity to hear from them about what they have been experiencing, what they have been going through, and to reassure them. It has been a very difficult and traumatic time for them. At the crash scene today, harry dunns best friends arrived to put up a Christmas Tree in his honour, and they say they all miss him terribly at what was his favourite time of year. Lawyers for Anne Sacoolas say she too is devastated by the tragedy but say she wont return to the uk voluntarily. Harry dunns family say that is unacceptable. Theyre concerned that they have one of the finest lawyers in america seeking to undermine ourfair, mature and well developed legal system, which has fairness at its heart. This will be a difficult christmas for everybody involved. Ajudge will now look at the merits of extradition, and then the home secretary will make a final decision. Duncan kennedy, bbc news, northamptonshire. The headlines on bbc news chelseas match at tottenham is marred after the crowd were warned three times over the tannoy about racist behaviour. Australias firefighters in the state of New South Wales are still battling to bring more than a hundred fires under control. Tesco has suspended Christmas Card production at a chinese factory after a six Year Old Girl in london finds a message claiming that prisoners are being forced to pack them. Sport and a full round up from the bbc sport centre. Quite a disturbing day in the world of football. Yes, we will get on to that in a moment. We should be starting tonight by talking about a brilliant away win for chelsea over spurs in the premier league, but instead, all the headlines will be about racism after an allegation of abuse by some spurs fans. 0ur Sports Correspondent is andy swiss. This all happened around an hour into the match after tottenham had a player sent off for a challenge on chelseas rudiger. Rudiger then said he had been the victim of abuse from the crowd. He told his captain, who told the referee, anthony taylor. An object was also thrown onto the pitch. The referee spoke to both of the managers after that and there was then an announcement over the public address system saying that racist behaviour from spectators was interfering with the game. You can see the referee talking to the players. That announcement over the public address system was repeated with about five minutes left of the match, and then again during injury time. Under uefa protocol, games can be abandoned if fans have already been warned twice before. What has emerged is that although there were three warnings, there were not three separate incidents, there was one incident and there were three warnings for that incident. Clearly, this is another very worrying piece of news for english football. We have seen a string of incidents in recent months in the english game, allegations of racist abuse from fans. We saw that at the Manchester Derby earlier this month. We also saw it in an fa cup match between haringey and yeovil which had to be abandoned. And clearly this will be a huge worry to everyone involved in the english game, the authorities, the players and indeed the fans. Andy, thank you very much indeed. Chelsea were winners in the game, 20. Well, in the last hour, spurs have released a statement. They say they are now carrying out an investigation and will be liaising with the chelsea players. They say that racism in any form wont be tolerated in the stadium and they will take the strongest possible action against anyone whos found to have carried out any abuse, including stadium bans. Lets hear from the chelsea captain, cesar azpuilacueta. We are told to report if anything happens. So in the game, after the red card, it happened, and tony came to me and he told me that he was listening in the crowd, monkey noises, and obviously myjob as a captain is to go straight to the referee and to report it. Now there is an investigation, and we have to work altogether towards the eradication of the problem. Elsewhere in the premier league today there was a big win for watford. But a big defeat for manchester united. A howler from david de gea gifted watford their opening goal, scored by ismaila sarr.

It finished 2 0, watfords first home win of the season, but theyre still bottom. United remain eighth in the table. Bath have ended a run of five successive defeats in all competitions after thrashing london irish in the premiership. They won 38 10, Anthony Watson with the second of five first half tries for the away side at readings madejski stadium.
