Thats one way of putting it. And mr cohen gave evidence to a Congressional Group which looked into Donald Trumps finances knows the impetus of this and this investigation that the attorney general brought forward and as you highlighted there, he has been talking about giving evidence in which he claims he was told to inflate Donald Trumps assets. And this is what he been facing. It was interesting if there was a bit of a detour in sports. Talking about the Buffalo Bills and people who do not know, very big nfl team and mr cohen tried to inflate assets, donald trump wanted to buy the nfl team and he said they used Financial Statements with inflated assets to show donald trump is possibility to purchase the team.

From next year, the annual air miles of mens European Club football could be as high as 2 billion an increase of more than 30 . Thats the estimate of a new bbc sport investigation. The rise comes as a result of the extra 177 fixtures uefa is adding across the Champions League, Europa League and conference league. The bbc� s Sports Editor dan roan reports. Winning a european trophy is something that clubs and theirfans dream of. But with uefa set to expand the three mens Club Competitions it runs, the potential cost to the environment is now becoming clearer. The bbc has estimated teams and their supporters travelling to european away fixtures already rack up around one and a half billion air miles each year. But from next season there will be 177 extra European Club matches, taking the total to 981 each year. The projected air miles rises to almost 2 billion, equating to an estimated 480,000 tonnes of Co2 Emissions annually. Instead of being a positive force for good, theyre actually exacerbating the problem and actually pushing us closer to a real serious, like situation with a Climate Crisis or a climate emergency. I just think its the dereliction of duty. Uefa was criticised by campaigners for staging a pan continental euros across 11 countries in 2021, but has committed to a 50 reduction in Carbon Emissions by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2040. Its here at its headquarters on the banks of lake geneva that uefa has masterminded an unprecedented expansion in European Club football. But as the games Carbon Footprint has grown, scrutiny of its commitment to sustainability is now mounting. In a statement, uefa said the expansion came after an extensive consultation in which they listened to the ideas of fans, coaches, National Associations and leagues. And although they mandate the sale of away tickets, uefa added they have no operational control over the travel of teams and ticket holders. We are increasing the number of match, but we are providing all the clubs with a Carbon Footprint calculator to start to understand how is the Carbon Footprint and pushing them to reduce the emissions and always try solutions. One solution will be to not grow the competition, but another solution could be to engage all the clubs to come in this journey. Uefa says fans at next years euros in germany will be offered discounted rail tickets in a bid to reduce air travel. But one former executive at the Governing Body told us that for club games, more drastic action was needed to tackle a wave. That for club games, more drastic action was needed to tackle away fans taking flights. I you wont have an all away ticket l allocation during the group games, the knockout phase. And i would make an exception, obviously, for the finals. I think we need to look at fundamental Behaviour Change and i think that would be a good way to start. Spurs Playing Fulham in the premier league last night. The race to qualify for europe has increasingly come to dominate the domestic game at elite level across the continent. But it also shows the challenge in balancing sport and sustainability. Dan roan, bbc news. Zoe williams columnist for the guardian newspaper. Doug heye former Communications Director for the Republican National committee. Some interesting ideas, not having the way fans at games. That is going to be a tough sell. It the way fans at games. That is going to be a tough sell. To be a tough sell. It will be a very tough to be a tough sell. It will be a very tough sell and to be a tough sell. It will be a very tough sell and not to be a tough sell. It will be a very tough sell and notjust. Very tough sell and notjust financial but the value of the fixtures and i cant imagine, the results and the attention. And i think they really miss single lot of opportunities here because if you can normalise rail travel between the cities, you could see an old generation or an entire gender, the loyalty to trains of her plans which really isnt there and i feel like there are opportunities not being taken here to change the way people look at it. ~. , taken here to change the way people look at it. ~. , i. , ~. , look at it. What you make of this balance between look at it. What you make of this balance between support look at it. What you make of this balance between support and balance between support and increasing fixtures in keeping fans and that Carbon Footprint as well. I think it is difficult to keep everything on rail, i took this rail to amsterdam it was fantastic and that is to amsterdam it was fantastic and that is hard to do when you Start Talking that is hard to do when you Start Talking about places like munich and barcelona talking about places like munich and barcelona and i would typically be very pro barcelona and i would typically be very pro anything that makes the Tottenham Supporters stay at home we dont need Tottenham Supporters stay at home we dont need them in the general population as it is part that people stay at population as it is part that people stay at home, its going to be a pretty stay at home, its going to be a pretty tough sell. For stay at home, its going to be a pretty tough sell. Pretty tough sell. For not going to to that, i pretty tough sell. For not going to top that, i dont pretty tough sell. For not going to top that, i dont think. Pretty tough sell. For not going to top that, i dont think. And pretty tough sell. For not going to top that, i dont think. And thank| top that, i dont think. And thank you very much for that and we appreciate your thoughts on the balance between sport and the Carbon Footprint that it produces. Around the world and across the uk. This is bbc news.

Youre live with bbc news. Now its time for the panel. This is the part of the programme where panelists get to talk about whatever they want to talk about. The that grabbed their attention. Zoe, lets start with you. Its, zoe, lets start with you. Development in the case of either side of the pond may not actually have had and Scottish Government had the first period of Dignity Officer and last year, people were astonished when they found that given the job to a man and this characterjason grant. And probably not unfairly, there is a huge amount of outcry in no small amount of ridicule as a result of it. Unfortunately, what happened next was the powers that be bound to pressure got rid of jason grant was the powers that be bound to pressure got rid Ofjason Grant and he took them to court for gender discrimination. Today, we learned that they settled out of court for an undisclosed amount and an undisclosed finding. And i think that definitely speaks to the embarrassment on the behalf of the Decision Makers but also speaks to the complications around putting identity and the rates around the identity and the rates around the identity at the centre of the municipal Decision Making because as soon as you want a Period Dignity officer in the natural assumption is that it will go to a woman. But if you say you want, this is a job for which only a woman need apply, naturally as to notice that youre not allowed to do that under equal opportunities law. I think a small amount of foresight could have prevented the situation. But, it does hundred Something Interesting which will continue to come up. Thank you very much for that. Doug, over to you.

Ken wright first became involved at everton in 1989, as a board member, and became a major shareholder ten years later before becoming the largest stakeholder in the club in 2004, when he took on the chairmanship. He was also a well known theatre producer, with an acting role in Coronation Street which continued until 2012. If you asked me about the man, i would just say a warmer person, you would just say a warmer person, you would struggle to meet. He was bighearted, generous he would back causes that people would never know about, very wholeheartedly and i saw very much for handed how we cared for the hillsboro family with a needed support. I was the person that Bill Kenwright was. He had a deep love for his club and his city and throughout his life, never changed from that. Its also been an emotional night too at old trafford, as Manchester United paid their respects to their former captain sir bobby charlton, who passed away on saturday. As well as plenty of tributes outside the group from fans and the general public, the club held a special tribute to sir bobby which included manager erik ten hag laying a wreath in the centre circle, as well as players wearing black armbands and observing a minutes silence before kick off. Alex stepney played with sir Bobby In The Late 60s and early 705.

Bayern munich top that group, after Beating Galatasary 3 1 harry kane with their second. The win extends bayerns unbeaten run in the group stages to 37 matches and theyve won the last 16 of those. Arsenal appear to going top of their group theyre beating sevilla 2 1 gabrieljesus with the gunners second in spain, after Gabriel Martinelli had put them ahead. England crickets managing director rob key insists ben stokes is still committed to playing for the national team, despite turning down a long contract.

Key says stokes is expected to negotiate a longer deal next year, when a new cycle of broadcast rights starts. 0n the field of play, Quinton De Kock proved his worth yet again, as south africa made it four wins from five at the cricket world cup. Batting first, de kock hit 174 off 140 balls the highest score of the tournament as his side set bangladesh 383 to win. And, despite a century from mahmudullah, bangladesh fell well short bowled out 233, losing by 149 runs. South africa now second in the table, behind the hosts india, bangladesh drop to the bottom.

Everything else for the bbc sport website. Goodbye for the bbc sport website. Goodbye for now. Hello there. Well, the week ahead looks fairly unsettled, with low Pressure Systems bringing outbreaks of unwelcome rain, Weather Fronts, and that wet weather persistent at times. Turning windy by the end of the week as well. Earlier today, weve had outbreaks of rain working their way northwards through parts of the midlands, in towards the north of england. We do have a met Office Yellow warning for heavy rain through parts of the east midlands, in towards yorkshire and the humber. Whilst in itself that wet weather not particularly heavy, its falling on already saturated ground, so the potential for some further issues with flooding as a result. South of that band, drier with some sunshine through wales, in towards the South Midlands and the south east. Wet weather pushing in towards the south west later on. Sunshine and showers for Northern Ireland and parts of scotland. Brightest in the west through the highlands and islands. As we head into this evening, the wet weather across parts of the midlands clears and then Heavy Rain Pushing in towards parts of the south of wales, in towards devon and cornwall and tracking east through dorset, hampshire, the isle of wight, in towards sussex and kent. A further met Office Yellow warning in force because of that. Elsewhere, dry with clearest conditions in the west. Chilly in glasgow at three degrees. Perhaps a bit of mist and fog around as well under clear skies. Looking ahead to midweek, this is wednesday, you can see that area of low pressure pulling away, taking the overnight rain with it. Then, for many, its a quieter day on wednesday. Its a dry day for many, certainly through parts of wales, the midlands, in towards western scotland, Northern Ireland, as well. Drying up in the south. Cloudier skies across scotland compared with elsewhere, with some light and patchy outbreaks of rain in the east. Temperature wise, around about ten to 14 Celsius North to south. Then looking ahead towards thursday, that broad area of low pressure i showed you right at the start is still with us. Further Weather Fronts bringing yet more unwelcome rain. That wet weather persistent in nature at times, particularly in areas where we dont want it, so late on thursday, into friday, becoming concentrated across parts of the east of scotland. Elsewhere, showery outbreaks of rain almost anywhere, really. Temperatures around about nine to 15 Celsius North to south. Certainly, a very unsettled picture through the course of the week. Temperature wise, well around about ten to 15 Celsius North to south, but certainly rain at times. Thats the forecast for now. Tonight at 10pm. Israel and hamas under severe criticism from the un, as a freed israeli hostage speaks of her ordeal. 85 year old Yocheved Lifschitz spent two weeks in captivity her husband remains in the hands of hamas.
