why announce this now? i think it was a surprise because no one from the media knew about it before the german fa put out the press release today. i guess in a way it was a surprise, there are some rumours usually about these things, not this time. they kept it close to the vest, i think there was not really a perfect point for joachim low to make the announcement. i think he also struggled to make the announcement because if you remember in november at the german team lost against spain and they have he wanted to desperately to keep the job and stay at the helm of the national team and now he makes a different decision. he has switched his position basically in the past few months. i think it was more up to him making this decision now. going going into the euros, knowing that their manager is leaving, will that affect the squad? yes but maybe not in the way you think will affect the squad. if we remember, some people may remember in 2019 he decided to drop some of the veterans. by thomas miller. there were demands from the public from experts that he should maybe reconsider the decision. he didn't want to reconsider because these are 30 plus players come all the players, so he didn't want to move forward with them, but now he has the freedom to maybe select them for the freedom to maybe select them for the upcoming euros, the veteran players like thomas miller now because he didn't have to care about what is after that. he can just care about what one last tournament. who'll succeed him? my my pick is hines he flicked from bayern munich. it might surprise some people but he has worked under going between 20 2006 in 2014. —— hansi flick. he left the german fa and now at bayern munich. he his dream job is still being in charge of the national team. he was an assistant there. some people may not know that but there is tension between hansi flick and bayern munich and the higher—ups there. the club really taken his ambitions to seriously right but he might make them because he could be the next german coach.— them because he could be the next german coach. thank you so much for our time. the daughter of former scotland, manchester united and leeds defender gordon mcqueen has called for changes in the law regarding players heading the ball — after her father developed vascular dementia. hayley mcqueen says she wants better protection for footballers now that the risks are more widely known. it comes as a leading head injury expert told a parliamentary inquiry that football's new head injury substitute rules are a shambles. sally nugent reports. everybody pass my dad, they are there heroes. —— everybody pass my dad. i didn't realise he was other people's heroes as well. i don't think i really understood quite what he did until i was about maybe eight or nine. mcqueen! they have been moments where i'm like. _ mcqueen! they have been moments where i'm like, god, _ mcqueen! they have been moments where i'm like, god, i— mcqueen! they have been moments where i'm like, god, i can't- mcqueen! they have been moments where i'm like, god, i can't believe. where i'm like, god, i can't believe the thing they gave him so much love has now been so cruelly taken a lot of him away from us. the has now been so cruelly taken a lot of him away from us.— of him away from us. the only very recently made _ of him away from us. the only very recently made a _ of him away from us. the only very recently made a statement - of him away from us. the only very recently made a statement about l of him away from us. the only very i recently made a statement about your dad's diagnosis of vascular dementia, haley. how is your dad at the moment?

—— will it be me next? let's take a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. five ranger players have been charged by the scottish fa after a party broken up by police next month. the rages find the players and spoken with the scottish government and fa about the incident. —— in the rangers have. british number one dan evans will play roger federer at the qatar open, after beating jeremy chardy by two sets to one. he's actually been training with federer, who's taking part in his first tournament since last year's australian open. gareth davies comes in to the starting 15 for wales in saturday's match against italy in the six nations. he replaces scrum half kieran hardy who was ruled out with an injury. lock cory hill starts in place of adam beard. wales have won the triple crown and victory in rome would leave them one win away from a second grand slam in three years. 22—year—old swiss rider stefan bissigger won stage three of the paris—nice cycle race. bissigger posted the fastest time on the 8.6 mile time trial course by hundredths of a second, to take the overall lead. it's his first race as a professional and he'll start day four in the yellowjersey. sports coaches who have sexual relationships with 16 and 17—year—olds in their care will be breaking the law — that's under government plans to close a legal loophole in england and wales. it's one of a number of new measures being introduced to parliament today in an effort to overhaul the justice system. laura scott reports. when 16 and 17—year—olds go to school, the doctor, or are in the care of social workers, those in positions of influence cannot legally engage in sexual activity with them. the same hasn't been true when they go to after—school sports clubs or faith groups. i spoke to hannah, who was manipulated into engaging in a sexual relationship with her swimming coach when she turned 16. she says the law didn't protect her. we have preserve their anonymity by using an actors voice. looking back on that time as a more mature adult now, and just being able to see how wrong the situation was and how he abused his position of trust as a sports coach to gain my trust and use that to his advantage to initiate a sexual relationship, which shouldn't have been allowed to happen, and i feel really passionately about protecting children in sports environments going forward. that's why this change in the law is so important to me. the ministry ofjustice is due to unveil plans to expand child—abuse laws in england and wales, meaning sports coaches and faith leaders will be considered positions of trust. after what they called an extensive review. having looked at the body of evidence and some
