there's been a concerted diplomatic push from the white house to try and smooth the waters. i think this joint statement is very significant. and i think it uk and france i think it significant that the both leaders and put out a statement say well, this could've been handled better. which is quite a significant concession from the us, i think. it contrast to borisjohnson was contrast to boris johnson was saying, when you got a difficult conversation to have everybody leaves it to the last minute, don't they? is that really the approach to international relations and diplomacy? i think thisjoint statement from president micron and biden does acknowledge that. the final story now in the daily telegraph. the low a picture of borisjohnson meeting a bust of winston churchill. a bit of trivia this is winston churchill who was the first ever honorary citizen of the first ever honorary citizen of the united states was on his bus looking down on borisjohnson the first prime minister to renounce your sedition act citizenship. i appreciate that point of trivia. rode all who was in the region born or worked in america his family is to share £500 million in eight netflix deal. i know

players and staff, whose jobs are now uncertain. the 12 point deduction means that wayne rooney's team drop to the foot of the championship table, on minus two points. administrators from the firm quantuma have been appointed, who say they are looking for interested parties and want to ensure the club continues to fulfill its fixtures. morris says the club has lost him "in excess of £200m" to date. english premier league and championship clubs will be able to offer licensed standing areas at their grounds from 2022, as part of a pilot programme. it would mean an end to the ban on standing in the top two divisions which has been in place for more than 25 years, following recommendations made in the taylor report into the 1989 hillsborough disaster. in recent years, campaigners have called for standing to be allowed in grounds once again. barrier seating has been developed to provide seats which can also be converted to standing areas. it's a tremendous day for us. it's 32 years since the taylor report was first published that saw the end of standing in the top two divisions, and it's been a real team effort from a huge bunch of people who have worked really hard on this for a sustained period of time. i think fans generally have really welcomed the news and could not be happier to hear it. europe's ryder cup team have been attempting to win over the hearts of the home fans, when the us take on europe at at whistling straits this week. the european team appeared in the traditional dress of the �*cheeseheads', a nod to the local nfl side, even though the us are favourites to win with all 12 of their players ranked inside the world's top 21. ian poulter is no stranger to upsetting the odds on foreign soil though, he was part of the famous �*miracle at medinah' back in 2012, the last time europe won in america. it's on you as an individual and as a player to work out how you can harness what they're giving, and obviously they're going to be giving 99.9% of the volume to the us team. so i think it's on each player to work out how he's going to use that energy to spur them on to get the best out of them. so, it's different. we don't always have it that way and this is going to be a new one, but i think there's the ability to use theirjuice. andy murray is into the quarter—finals of the moselle open in france, after beating canada's vasek pospisil in straight sets. murray, who's currently ranked 113th in the world, won 6—3 6—3. he said afterwards that his body feels good, he's gaining confidence, and the results are coming. next up, he'll play either france's lucas pouille... or top seed hubert hurkacz of poland. in netball, england have drawn level with new zealand in their three match series after victory in the second match in christchurch. the world champions held a narrow lead for the majority of the first half but the england roses rallied in the third quarter, and by the fourth they were in control. the final score was 55—45 in favour of england. the final match of the series takes place on friday. england are using the series to help them prepare for next years commonwealth games in birmingham. the four—times world time trial champion tony martin has finished his cycling career in the best possible way, helping the german team win the mixed relay team time trial at the cycling road world championships. great britain were fifth. an excellent combined effort from the germans saw them beat the dutch to the title — enabling 36—year—old martin to retire from the sport wearing the rainbow stripes of the world champions. and finally... there's been an update to some cricket terminology — as �*batter�* will now be used instead of batsman in the laws of the game. the mcc, which is recognised as the sole authority on cricket's laws, say the changes will take immediate effect. they say the new gender—neutral language will "help reinforce crickets status as an inclusive game for all". and that's all the sport for now. wednesday wasn't a bad day at all for the greater part of england and wales. but, quite a significant but they're just different wales. but, quite a significant but they�* re just

getting towards the western side of scotland. but was sunshine through wales the midlands and eastern england through the afternoon 22 possibly even 23 degrees. much of the weather action was be found
