H and can fresh talks in florida smooth over the rift in world golf. Liv saudi backers have been meeting with senior players on the pga tour. Two wins away from the euros, a huge week ahead for welsh football. Good evening, Nottingham Forest have dropped into the Relegation Zone after being deducted 4 points for breaching the Premier Leagues profitability and sustainability rules. They were charged injanuary for going 3a and half Million Pounds over their 61 Million Pound threshold up to the end of last season. That threshold lower than normal, because they had spent two of the three years of the assessment period in the championship. Everton had a 10 Point Deduction reduced to 6 points on appeal, for breaking the rules up to 2022 and are waiting to hear what further action might be taken for their overspending last season lets get some more detail on the forest punishment from our sports news correspondent laura scott. Laura, in the last couple of hours weve had a really strong response from forest, very unhappy with the four points and also that the Premier League had wanted an eight Point Deduction. Absolutely, a very strong statement from Nottingham Forest saying they are extremely disappointing with the four point action which is significant because it drops them into the Relegation Zone, but the luton town. They are also very critical of how the Premier League have behaved in all of this. They are dismayed by the tone and contents of the Premier Leagues submission say it has harmed their trust and confidence in the league. They say the eight Point Deduction sought by the Premier League was utterly disproportionate, they say the Premier League give no consideration to the unique circumstances and mitigation put forward by forest. They make the point about other cubs who are coming up from the championship, inspiring ambitious clubs who not just want to survive in the Premier League, but to thrive against the big established clubs. They say this does harm to that possibility of clubs doing well when they have these rules in place. It is central to this whole case, the losses that they have accrued but particularly since they were promoted to the Premier League, the Spending Spree they went on, but also the sale of a player to talk to hospers in the middle of a Transfer Window. Saying they held out to get more money for him meaning they have now fallen foul of these rules saying this does not make since for an ambitious club to be had with his four Point Deduction as a result. This to be had with his four Point Deduction as a result. This say that could be damaging deduction as a result. This say that could be damaging to deduction as a result. This say that could be damaging to the could be damaging to the whole purebred because of where that forms in the Transfer Window in the cut off point for their assessment. Stay with us because we have had some reaction to the deduction from the city ground. Four oints can deduction from the city ground. Four points can mean deduction from the city ground. Four points can mean a deduction from the city ground. Fm; points can mean a lot at the back end of the season so the four points may not seem a lot, but if he could be the difference between relegation or not.

Still approaching that language of that strong statement from forest, everything appoints to an appeal but the have been talk about that.

Certainly a pretty chaotic situation where a lot of well. Certainly a pretty chaotic situation where a lot of the. Well. Certainly a pretty chaotic situation where a lot of the season is determined by what is happening with these financial rules rather than as the fan mention, what is happening on the pitch. I spoke to a former Chief Executive of everton saying, a leak exists and excels on its sporting integrity. He says, when you have a table that for many people will have asterisks next to certain teams come the end of the season, that that does a lot of damage to the integrity of that leak. He says the Premier League is in crisis and called on the hierarchy of the leak to come forward and explain to fans, why these rules are in place and to help fans understand them. But i think this leaves a very complex and probably situation where you have a clubs feet decided by lawyers in a boardroom as opposed to players on a pitch. Of course you have the possibility that forest could appeal this four Point Deduction. We are expecting that they will. We have everton still awaiting the outcome of a charge to do with their alleged transgressions of these rules, of course we have Manchester City facing more than 100 charges for alleged breaches and it leaves for an uncomfortable situation for the league as a whole. She says shes, had a blast but now its time to hang up the bike. Dame laura kenny retires as the most succesful female cyclist in olympic history, with 5 gold medals across three games starting at london 2012. No british women has won more in any olympic sport, and it was only a few months ago that she said she wanted to compete in paris this summer. The demands of having a second child last year had made that more difficult and she only had a slim chance of qualifying, so at the age of 31, shes told us about the relief she felt after deciding to give up the sport. I always knew that there would be a time that i would stop. Deep down, people were asking me what competition i was going to go to, what Training Camps i was going to go to, it was filling me with dread. I did not want to leave my boys. When you start getting those feelings, 20 a7, you cannot do it just 50 . You are either in or out. I got back into it street after giving birth and i was committed to going on and winning more metals.

Chances are times will be quicker, so you will have to be better than ever and that wouldve had to had been me yet i wouldve had to do it in a tighter timeframe than ever before so its like you are asking more of yourself after already having a second child in a tighter timeframe. There was just a lot that wouldve had to been perfectly in line for me to even make the team even to go on to win more metals. You look at what youve been through in terms of stuff off of the track and the trauma that has caused within yourself and your family, was there an element of being worn out with everything you have been through off the track .

Theres been so much reaction across social media to dame lauras retirement. Another 2012 olympic champion Jessica Ennis hill says, you are such a legend, always will be and you will continue inspiring enjoy this next chapter. Four time Tour De France winner chris froome Congratulations On A Spectacular Career Laura and mark cavendish, absolute legend mate. Congratulations doesnt even seem enough to say about what youve achieved. Thank you for everything you have done for british sport. And fellow dame, Paralympic Great sarah storey wrote, utterly brilliant from start to finish, so proud to have raced with you. And weve spoken to British Rowing great katherine grainger, who saw kenny overtake her olympic record of 5 medals. I dont know where you start with her achievements, what she has done, it has never been done before. That shows just how sensational and unique and incredible of an achievement she has done year after year. Its Notjust The Metals and titles that we will all remember and celebrate, but how she has done it. The sort of person she is. She has never changed and has always been fun and has had a incredibly down to earth attitude about it. And made it feel that this is something other people could aspire to do and be. I think that is one of her enduring legacies, is the incredible standard she said, but she actually brought so many people into her sport in general because of the way she did it. She has been so influential and inspirationalfor mothers who have come back who still want to be in sport but having children and a family but managing to balance so much. So the way she talks about following passion and still being the personal is an inspiration. Still being the personal is an inspiration. Over this error of metals and inspiration.

They| part of losing the country. They were phenomenal when it the big man looks moments of success. Because of what she is done and what she has achieved, she has created a host of new athletes and cyclists who want to come into the sport and emulate what she has done. I think what we have seen is this wonderful pathway that sport has been so successful that sport has been so successful that people like jason and laura, are setting the standard in showing what is possible has inspired other people to get on the bike. So there is so much new talent coming through british cycling and that his credited to partly the athletes who have come and gone in the past, but also the current set up where the potential is always being sought and found and developed and it is exciting thinking, when a great athlete retires, it is always site and we will miss something very special, but the doors open for someone to come in and replace that and that is exciting in its own way. Before we move on on sportsday, an apology, you will see in some rather random captions perhaps on your screen, it is out of our control we are trying to fix it very soon. Lets have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. Australians nick schultz held on to win the first stage of the tour of catalunya despite having two time Tour De France champion Tadej Pogacar bearing down on him. Britains Steve Williams was third. There was a big win for the world number 80, daniel wells, in the first round of the world open in china. The welshman knocked out Northern Irelands mark allen, the world number three, by five frames to three. Arsenal defender gabriel has pulled out of the brazil squad due to injury. The 26 year old had been called up for their friendlies against england and spain. A group of senior players on the pga tour have been meeting with officials from saudi arabias Public Investment fund, the pif, that bankrolls the Breakway Liv Golf series. Merger talks have taken place between the parties that could see an end to the rift in the sport that has lasted for the past two years i think it should have happened months ago. So i am glad it is happening and hopefully that progresses conversations and gets us closer to a solution. I see the two entities and i think there is a big disconnect between pif and liv. You have my car went over here and liv are out doing their own thing. So the closer we can get to pif and finalising that investment, i think that will be really good. Those talks are taking place in florida, the players championship was held at sawgrass, and our golf co respondent iain carter spoke to me about the meeting. I think this is a potentially significant development, the fact that the governor of the saudi arabia Public Investment fund is being given time to speak to the player representatives on the pga tours policy board. You heard rory mcelroy welcoming the development, no longer on that board. We spoke to patrick, one of the influential voices there saying that he felt it was going to be very much a listening exercise. He did not expect anything substantive to come out of the initial meeting, but if this is the First Step Towards some kind of saudi investment in the pga tour and potentially somewhere down the road, some kind of unification, some kind of peace deal if you would like in the wars that have been set the Golfing Environment over the last few years. This is potentially a significant moment in the saga. So many bridges have been burned up the best part of two years. It was only last summer that the pga tour players themselves felt a bit broadsided by the news of the possibility of a merger. This was one of the possibility of a merger. This was one of the key possibility of a merger. This was one of the key issues, possibility of a merger. This was one of the key issues, the i one of the key issues, the Announcement Injune of last year, of a Framework Agreement with the saudi arabia Public Investment fund blindsided the players. They did not see that coming and as part of the fallout from that, they have been giving greater representation and indeed the majority hand on the policy board of the pga tour. So anything that is negotiated by the management of the tour has to be ratified by the players. That is why this meeting is so important. Because the governor of pif will be trying to get this influential player voices on his side from a position whereby it was outright hostility in some quarters to the notion that a deal would be done with saudi arabia, given the extent of the about turn of the Announcement Injune of last year. There can be no simplistic solution when you consider what has gone on in the past, but it is the crux of it as rory mcilroy pointed out before the Player Championship which you have been bringing us common tree on, the fact that the best players are simply not playing against each other for most tournaments during the year outside of the majors. The tournaments during the year outside of the majors of the maors. The only time they come of the majors. The only time they come together of the majors. The only time they come together at of the majors. The only time they come together at the of the majors. The only time they come together at the majors. I of the majors. The only time they j come together at the majors. The first on the mens calendar is next month at the masters. We had to set a players championship which was a fantastic event won by the world number one, but i hesitate to say, asterisk, but the fact of the matter is that neither the masters champion northern us pga champion were there Becausejohn Rammed The Masters winner and the winner of the Pga Championship now compete on the liv tour and suspended from the pga tour. Certainly there is a big feeling within the management of the main tour is that they need these big players back on side, but how you achieve that position, given that they have taken money from saudi arabia and turned their back on the Rank And File tour members is the crux of the conflict that is going on at the moment. So i think the overall aim from this meeting would be to set up a process whereby, those gaps in position can be eventually bridged. Englands women start their first series of the year at midnight. They are in dunedin playing the first of five t20s against new zealand, theyll then play 3 one dayers. T20s are the priority this year though with the world cup coming up in the autumn. The early part of the tour is designed to give new players opportunities and look at our depth. We have obviously been for my point if you successful in t20 cricket over the past 6 8 months with a Clear Strategy on how we play. It is just whether anyone else can force their way into our best 11 or squad. Growing depth in our cricket is important.

They say their trust in the Premier League has been damaged after they push for an eight Point Deduction against them. They say they are dismayed at the tone of the Premier Leagues argument against them. So much more reaction to that story on the bbc sport website, but for me and the rest of the sports day team, good night. Hello there. Its felt quite warm out there for many of us today, particularly where weve had the blue skies and the sunshine, but the weather is changing again and changes are happening out to the west because this cloud is coming in from the atlantic. The winds are picking up. Were going to see some rain arriving as well. Ahead of that, weve got some mild air. It could make 15 degrees around the moray firth and 16 is quite likely in the South East Of England. We do see that rain coming in, together with stronger winds into Northern Ireland and well see one band of rain pushing eastwards overnight, followed by a second band of rain thats developing. That one could be quite heavy rain with gusty winds, gales likely in the far north of scotland. It will be a pretty mild night out there, milder than it was last night. Temperatures no lower than 9 or 10 degrees. Those two bands of rain that we start with in england and wales willjust tend to fade away and it will brighten up in many places, leaving just a few showers. A few showers will continue in Northern Ireland, but the earlier, heavier showers in scotland will move away, sunshine will come out and the winds will ease as well. Temperatures still reaching 12 or 13 degrees in scotland and Northern Ireland, but again peaking at 16 in the South East Of England. We could see a bit of Rain Developing In The South West Of England by the end of the day. That Weather Front is going to move back northwards again overnight and into wednesday, taking Rain Northwards too. Some of that rain for a while affecting Northern Ireland, perhaps some southern and eastern parts of scotland. Most of the rain more likely from the south west into wales, through the midlands and across northern england. Scotland and Northern Ireland turning drier and brighter through the day. Across the South East Of England it may stay dry, as well. Here it is still quite mild 16 or 17 degrees but behind the rain, to the north, things are cooling off a little bit now. Were all going to see some rain over this week ahead, but there may not be too much rain across the north east of scotland and were probably going to miss most of the rain in the South East Of England. Its going to be wetter in the west, particularly across Western Parts of scotland. As we head into thursday, we will see the winds picking up across Northern Areas and these Weather Fronts bringing more rain into scotland and Northern Ireland in particular. As we move into the end of the week and into the weekend, its staying windy, but the Wind Direction is changing, eventually coming to the north west or the north. That will bring Colder Weather and lots of showers. Live from london, this is The World Today with maryam moshiri.
