This, because the cfl has been so divided as to where it sits on this particular and everything that Colin Kaerpernick stands for. Does this signal any likelihood of a return to the sport for him, or a mellowing of relations . I think the most important thing that happened with him recently twofold, one he did a video showing that he still works out and is ready to play and can play. And two, more importantly, donald trump made a comment about him the other day that was a moderate comment, after all the things he has said about kaerpernick. He said he should be in the nfl, so maybe someone will give him a chance. I am still sceptical, but that would perhaps ease kaerpernicks return a bit. Thats all from sportsday. Well have more throughout the evening. To stay tuned, see you later. Youre watching bbc news. The cabinet secretary, sir mark sedwill, has responded to a letter he received from Jeremy Corbyn asking for guidance around the possibility ofan autumn for guidance around the possibility of an autumn general election, saying he would ensure the full and proper application of rules in the pre election period if one were to happen before the brexit date. Jonathan blake is joining happen before the brexit date. Jonathan blake isjoining us from westminster, how much clarity if any does this all add to the overall picture . Not very much, just to take you back to last week when you mentioned Jeremy Corbyn wrote to the cabinet secretary, and effectively the head of the Civil Service in charge of the machinery of government across whitehall and all different apart dust departments. Mr corbyn was worried about one possible scenario which could unfold when mps return from their break next month. If a vote of no confidence is called in the government and that is lost, and a different government cannot be formed by the opposition, mr corbyn oi formed by the opposition, mr corbyn or anybody else, then a general election would have to follow the stop the Prime Minister has set the date for that and there has been speculation number ten would or could allow it to be held just after the brexit deadline of 31 october, meaning that during the election campaign, the uk would leave the eu on that date as is the legal default at the moment. And mr corbyn was worried the government would be able to do that, so he wrote sir mark sedwill, describing that possible scenario as an unprecedented, unconstitutional, and anti democratic abuse of power by the Prime Minister. Now he has replied, and in a brief letter to mr corbyn, ill read you a bit of what he said. They are set out in the chapter he said. They are set out in the cha pter two he said. They are set out in the chapter two of the cabinet manual, let chapter two of the cabinet manual, let me assure you i am ready to ensure theirfull and let me assure you i am ready to ensure their full and proper application according to the circumstances at the time. So not being droll at all on his interpretation of the rules are what they may mean in that specific course of events. He goes on to say that the timing of the uks withdraw from the eu is a matter of the European Council and under article 50 of the lisbon treaty and parliament. So effectively, i think he may well be saying that it is nothing to do with him. It is the legal default, as the result of the article 50 process, which parliament voted to trigger it more than two yea rs voted to trigger it more than two years ago. Now the uk will leave the eu at the end of october, but this reply from sir mark sedwill to Jeremy Corbyn will not do anything to dampen the speculation and the fears among some mps when they return from their summer break here at westminster that the government may be willing to use all means at its disposal to make sure that it happens on that date. Jonathan, thank you very much. Jonathan blake at westminster. The us rapper mac asap rocky has been found guilty. He has been ordered to pay damages to the victim. From stockholm, our correspondent is on the line. So a bit more about the man and what has happened in court today . Yes, asap rocky certainly known but not a household name. He is now in sweden after one of the most high profile court cases in years. It has dominated the news the last month or so, ever since asap rocky gone into a fight outside a burger bar while he was here in sweden as part of his european tour. Now he has never denied that fight, but said he acted in self defense because he and his entourage were being followed by the victim and his friend. But in court, thejudge did not buy victim and his friend. But in court, the judge did not buy that. This victim and his friend. But in court, thejudge did not buy that. This is thejudge did not buy that. This is the statement that we got given both in swedish and in english, and it says here, there was not a situation in which they were entitled to use violence in self defense. There was no sign they we re self defense. There was no sign they were subject to a current or imminent attack. One other key point in this case was whether or not bottles were used. The victims lawyer said that was how he sustained his injuries, but the judge said there was no evidence to show there were bottles used by anyone. Asap rockys lawyers have said he is pleased with that part of thejudgement, but overall disappointed with this guilty verdict. Thank you very much, mattie.
