across tennis? hopefully the tennis world start speaking up for that - world start speaking up for that because i think the actions they took is not enough towards what's happening here. united we fall — it was another humbling experience on the pitch but are manchester united players really to blame. give it up the prince of persia hossein vafaei! give it up the prince of persia hossein vafaei! and we'll hear from the first iranian to play at the snooker world championship. good evening, welcome along, we'll start with that huge story that british tennis has banned russian and belarussian players from wimbledon and the other grasscourt tournaments this summer, such as queens, and nottingham and eastbourne becasue of the invasion of ukraine. the all england club say they want to play their part in limiting russias global influence in the circumstances of such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression. the former top 20 player and grand slam quarterfinalist alex dolgopolov spoke to me from kiev earlier about the decision. we are happy with the decision. as i said before, i believe if all the world is united and is trying to stop all of this and push the russian government and nothing is working then the only way this can stop is the russian people push the russian government. and i think is most of them continue living their normal lives, that's not really going to change much. they are not going to change much. they are not going to change much. they are not going to speak up, they are not going to speak up, they are not going to speak up, they are not going to see that something is wrong. and i believe the more people gets affected by this war not only ukrainians but russians the more they will change their mind and understand that they have to stop this. understand that they have to stop this, ., understand that they have to stop this. ., , , ., understand that they have to stop this. ., ,, ., , , this. some of the russian players bein: this. some of the russian players being denied _ this. some of the russian players being denied the _ this. some of the russian players being denied the right _ this. some of the russian players being denied the right to -

a quick look now at some of today's headlines. head coach tony smith will leave hull kingston rovers at the end of the season. the former great britain coach has been there since 2019. rovers are currently sixth in super league and also in the challenge cup semi—finals. smith's nephew — rohan smith is the new head coach at leeds rhinos. he previously coached bradford in 2016, joins the struggling rhinos from australian side norths devils. courtney lawes' is a doubt for england's july tour of australia after he dislocated his thumb playing for northampton. lawes who captained england during the six nations in 0wen farrell's absence was injured in last week's challenge cup defeat by gloucester. we're getting closer to the world heavyweight title tested theory and whyte. as can be a crowd. the fighters came had to do today. they've been dodging each other, at least whyte has put up any fireworks today? no. actually quite mild this is a first time the two fighters came face—to—face since the fight was announced. dylan whyte didn't turn off to the first press conference a few months ago because he was unhappy about aspects of the contract. the build up between the two camps have been very acrimonious with w wondered what would happen when they start each other today. they were very spiked doing that respect. tyson fury talked about the fact they've known each other for a long time and train together in the early 20s. he's paid dillon whyte respect by preparing hard for this because he is expecting a tough test on saturday night but up in front of 95,000 fight fans here at wembley stadium. mostly two fighters were quiet calm, it was interesting that their entourage, things that he did amongst them put up a bit of pushing and shoving it was tyson fury and dillon whyte that had to separate them. that is reasoning is our moment and tyson fury say so close to such a big occasion he didn't want anything to ruin the prospect of the cycle through. it was interesting that both men really understand the magnitude of what can happen on saturday night. dillon whyte has nothing to lose, he's been waiting it off a long time to get the opportunity to challenge the heavyweight title. i went to his camp in portugal a few weeks ago, of a note stone unturned and tyson fury said earlier today that he knows his and protect us both up he says the odds make him have it is a heavy favourite are wrong and paying dillon whyte at the service. aha, lat dillon whyte at the service. a lot of talk of the _ dillon whyte at the service. a lot of talk of the past _ dillon whyte at the service. a lot of talk of the past few _ dillon whyte at the service. a lot of talk of the past few weeks about the alleged organised crime boss and his association with fury. was furious about that?— furious about that? yet, only questions — furious about that? yet, only questions allowed _ furious about that? yet, only questions allowed about - furious about that? yet, only| questions allowed about that. furious about that? yet, only - questions allowed about that. it's really overshadowed the build—up to this event, these questions about daniel can handle it up the company he co—founded put out a statement just before the because doing a press conference saying it was ceasing operation for the point is the fact that he was doing unfair racism and scrutiny since he was sanctioned by the us government. they say another doing a number of won't work with any of their fighters any more of the organisation. they said despite the fact that he stopped working with him in 2017. some would overshadow the build—up saying it was very clear that tyson theories entourage didn't want to talk about this issue, they wanted them to focus on what is a huge i here on saturday night. history was made at the crucible today. hossein vafaei has become the first iranian to compete at the world snooker championship. vafaei came through two rounds of qualifying to make his debut before he took to the table, he spoke to our reporter jamie broughton. it's been a long journey for hossein vafaei to get to snooker�*s most iconic venue. he's been dreaming of playing at the crucible since he first picked up a queue at the age of six. everyone saying and never been here, everyone saying this is great venue for snooker. we all dream to play here and i think the crucible is the home of the snooker. if some players, they don't like to be here they must be on tough luck. so that is a reason. very big achievement for me and my country and the middle east players and believe that they can do this as well. i'm the youngest in whoever playing the sport. we've done it. and they can do it as well. a global tv audience of around 275 million people watch the world championship every year. but the pressure to do well from the fans in iran does not worry him. of course. that's put lots of pressure on me. but i like it, we are working hard to get a situation, that is the hardest to get in that kind of situation. you have to deal with it, all the top players deal with it and that's why they can show the good performance. the iranians first round opponent is the 2019 world championjudge trump. he's a great player, i think is one of the players still improving. ——judd he's a great player, i think is one of the players still improving. there's a lot of good players that were in the first round but he's one on the up. and one day i think he could probably break into the top ten at some point. i think with a bit more experience. it's a career highlight for every. player to act town these famous steps for the first time - in into this famous auditorium. but hossein vafaei isn't just happy to be here, he wants to make history as iran's first world champion. that's good to be very big not only in iran but all over the world with an iranian be in the world championship. i hope that happens and i'm trying my best to make that happen. how has his debut gone? pretty well againstjudge trump. the iranian lost the first three games for the bebop fought back, drew level trump made sure the tear had reese strained that. irenes 6—3. that match will reach its conclusion tomorrow evening. doing really well there, hossein vafaei. all on bbc sport website. you might have a set image of cheerleading, the half—time show in us sports, but the world championships take place in florida at the end of the week in what has become an international event. scotland has sent a 100—strong squad. tyrone smith met some of them before they set off. finalising their preparations. the scotland team perfecting their routines they hope can deliver success at the world championships in the united states. it certainly an exciting time for the sport which now seems destined for olympic conclusion at some point in the future. �* . . . conclusion at some point in the future. �*, , ., ., ., future. it's 'ust a recognition that we are future. it's 'ust a recognition that future. it'sjust a recognition that we are our own _ future. it'sjust a recognition that we are our own sport. _ future. it'sjust a recognition that we are our own sport. when -

across tennis? hopefully the tennis world start speaking up for that - world start speaking up for that because i think the actions they took is not enough towards what's happening here. united we fall — it was another humbling experience on the pitch but are manchester united players really to blame. give it up the prince of persia hossein vafaei! give it up the prince of persia hossein vafaei! and we'll hear from the first iranian to play at the snooker world championship. good evening, welcome along, we'll start with that huge story that british tennis has banned russian and belarussian players from wimbledon and the other grasscourt tournaments this summer, such as queens, and nottingham and eastbourne becasue of the invasion of ukraine. the all england club say they want to play their part in limiting russias global influence in the circumstances of such unjustified and unprecedented military aggression. the former top 20 player and grand slam quarterfinalist alex dolgopolov spoke to me from kiev earlier about the decision. we are happy with the decision. as i said before, i believe if all the world is united and is trying to stop all of this and push the russian government and nothing is working then the only way this can stop is the russian people push the russian government. and i think is most of them continue living their normal lives, that's not really going to change much. they are not going to change much. they are not going to change much. they are not going to speak up, they are not going to speak up, they are not going to speak up, they are not going to see that something is wrong. and i believe the more people gets affected by this war not only ukrainians but russians the more they will change their mind and understand that they have to stop this. understand that they have to stop this, ., understand that they have to stop this. ., , , ., understand that they have to stop this. ., ,, ., , , this. some of the russian players bein: this. some of the russian players being denied _ this. some of the russian players being denied the _ this. some of the russian players being denied the right _ this. some of the russian players being denied the right to -

believe for sure they are famous, and they should say something, you know? if they don't accept this and if they don't support this then that's another thing. they would stand up and say ok, we are against this war, we are against the actions of our country and just step away from those actions. and that's a another thing a decision like this would be tougher. but at the moment, i don't see them speaking out. the stand that british tennis is making on this, you are just can hope stand that british tennis is making on this, you arejust can hope i guess that the wta, the atp tour that they can follow suit as well. as it stands russians are allowed to compete in that. the french open as i'm speaking now, they will allow russian and belarusian players who take part. for russian and belarusian players who take art. ., , , ., take part. for sure, i said before that i think _ take part. for sure, i said before that i think tennis _ take part. for sure, i said before that i think tennis has _ take part. for sure, i said before that i think tennis has taken -

united. perhaps the appointment expected soon will bring a - expected soon will bring a revolution. the first rumblings felt today and the departure of two scouts but even radical change may not mean sudden improvement. united must hope that enfield is as low as it gets. there are four more premier league matches tonight, big one at stamford bridge. chelsea will be looking to consolidate third in the table, arsenal are in freefall and losing touch with the top four. alastair bruce ball is commentating for 5live this evening. in terms of the race for the top four, the pressure is definitely more on arsenal this evening for the chelsea sitting comfortably in third place in the premier league. a point so head of arsenal and manchester united with games in hand on the pair of them. arsenal start tonight in fifth place, three points behind the great rivals tottenham. this is their game in hand on them but don't forget, they were six points ahead of them with a game in hand in the middle of last month of they were six points ahead of them with a game in hand in the middle of last month of the year 2—0 win over leicester. premier games. they've been hard by injuries particular. the d squad death has been exposed a little and josie on the other hand have rediscovered their form somewhat. they are won their last three games, 21 games at all. competitions and there've only been three teams that have been in. namely manchester city, riau madrid and branford. arsenal are looking to join that trio this evening. that will put them level on points with tottenham, commentary on the game on bbc radio 5 live in the bbc at the photo will have an update on manchester cities game against brighton is able look to women that want to go back to the top of the table. liverpool's have been top of the table overnight, but manchester city would return to the summit with victory over brighton at home. the city boss knows that the reigning champions can't avoid any slip—ups with just seven games left to play. we are going to play every game a final to give opportunity to play another one, another one until the end. were going to challenge and in the end we are going to fight, for sure until the end we will lay good and get results. amazing what we are doing it knowing the situation that we have right now for the problems that we had in the seasons, many part of the season. made me so satisfied. i said ok, analyse or remember what we are as a team and go forward. a win for everton at home to leicester would see them move 6 poinst clear of the relegation zone. 14th placed newcastle will hope to continue their rise up the table and willjump above crystal palace if they beat them. fulham will be a premier league fixture again next season after securing promotion from the championship last night. after a three nil—win over preston it was party time at craven cottage, fulham podcaster sammyjames was there. sammy, there's every chance you'll win the title as well, a great season but what needs to be done this summer, to break this pattern of going straight back down, you are bracing his office you know what happened you get relegated next season. but need to do the summer to break this ridiculous pattern of going straight back down again? man going straight back down again? won thins going straight back down again? “firm things already been achieved, we going straight back down again? ignrr'f things already been achieved, we got promoted automatically rather than by playoffs and that's a huge advantage, gives full of a lot longer to prepare in terms of transferring and personnel right for next season. the gaps are very short particularly the year we did in 2020 when we were affected by the covid pandemic. i think that's a massive step for the plus i think we just have a better squad overall in a better manager in marco silver. i am confident we can break the cycle next season. stop the yo—yo. they'll be nice if we could do that. stop the yo-yo _ be nice if we could do that. stop the yo-yo end- _ be nice if we could do that. stop the yo-yo end. it's _ be nice if we could do that. stop the yo-yo end. it's boom - be nice if we could do that. stop the yo—yo end. it's boom time in west london. so much to look forward to with branford being there and renewing some of those old rivalries as well. i guess you take hope that you did have 13 straight seasons in the premier league before this yo—yo existence. we the premier league before this yo-yo existence. ~ ., ., ~' the premier league before this yo-yo existence. ~ ., ., ., existence. we did. it took a lot of eo -

back-and-forth on this one. i know it's reduced from something like i it's reduced from something like 7000, when you go to tournaments they usually are reduced stadium capacity. has she got a point? post of ice and games there due to play, they are sellouts.— they are sellouts. perhaps they do need a bigger— they are sellouts. perhaps they do need a bigger stadium. _ they are sellouts. perhaps they do i need a bigger stadium. international going off to a european championship is a huge moment in their career. you don't tell them they can be playing in front of for thousand fans. a lot of these players have played in front of bigger interest or clubs. you can understand when specially down the road you get old trafford selling out of the 70,000 fans for open again. the problem is backin fans for open again. the problem is back in 2018 when england was awarded this tournament it went to cities, stadiums and said who wants to host the games? they work with the clubs in the area that put their hands up on top of that stadiums have to have criteria, they want stadium started around the country to make it fairfor pants. according to make it fairfor pants. according to the english essay they've done the best they can do. the main problem is that three months out i don't think anything to change at this point. don't think anything to change at this oint. ., . ., ., , this point. nothing will change was that many thanks _ this point. nothing will change was that many thanks indeed. -
