Hi Everyone, I am new to Electrics and thought I would ask for some advise on installing a new Ceiling light

1st the new light has the 3 basic conections live earth and neutral
the existing wires to conect to this are the confusing part
I have 3 red wires
I have 1 yellow and green
I have 2 Black
I have 1 black with a red sheath
not sure where to put the black sheathed 1 and the third red one

3 reds - Together in a connector (permanently live)
2 blacks - together in connector with Neutral of light
1 black with red sheath - in connector with Live of light
1 yellow/green - in connector with earth of light.
