That is absolutely prohibited under Football Association regulations.

The us Police Officer who arrested the world number one golfer Scottie Scheffler outside the pga championship last weekend, has been disciplined for not activating his Body Worn Camera during the altercation. Scheffler was arrested after trying to drive into Valhalla Golf Club in kentucky for his second round. The police say he illegally attempted to pass the scene of an accident where a pedestrian had been killed. He was charged with multiple counts, including Second Degree assault after an officer claimed he was dragged by scheffler� s car. But officials have said theres no Body Cam Footage to corroborate this and new police video released on thursday appears to contradict the officers allegations. Scheffler has a Court Date Set for early next month. We understand there are a lot of questions we understand there are a lot of questions. We we understand there are a lot of questions.

I thats it from me and the team. You can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website. From me and all the sportsday guys, its goodbye. Hello there. Conditions look a lot better for the next couple of days. We should see more sunshine around, lighterwinds, so it should feel a bit warmer as well. Friday, its an improving picture we should see sunshine breaking through across many areas. And for most areas, it should be dry, just a few showers across northern areas. Now, areas of low pressure is continuing to weaken, and the rain is fizzling out, so therell be barely anything on this Weather Fronts across scotland, northern england, as we move through friday morning. Should see plenty of sunshine developing across southern areas, and some holes appearing in that cloud further north. Just the odd shower dotted around, but many places will stay dry. Temperatures responding, as well lighter winds, more sunshine, i9 celsius, maybe 20 celsius, in the south, high teens further north. As we head through friday night, it looks like skies will clear pretty widely, so it will turn chillier. Just the odd shower across scotland, a bit more cloud here so i think double figure values in much of scotland and northern ireland, single figures for large parts of england and wales. So into the bank holiday weekend, its starting off fine and settled on saturday for most areas, and then, well start to see sunshine and showers through sunday and bank holiday monday. Weve got this Weather Front encroaching in slowly during the weekend but ahead of it, plenty of sunshine around. Will be a chilly start, a little bit of mist and fog around. This feature moving in from the continent could bring some cloud and rains east anglia, eastern england, and then, later in the day, this Weather Front moves its way into southwest england. But plenty of sunshine across the country, just the chance of a shower. A much warmer 20 celsius for many areas, up to 22 in the southeast. Now, as we head into sunday, this Weather Front starts to cross the country, destabilising the atmosphere. Itll be one of sunshine and showers, i think and through the afternoon, some of these showers could turn out to be heavy and thundery, some local torrential downpours in places. Temperature wise, because a bit more cloud around and some showers, i think were looking at highs of 18 19 celsius. And then, through bank holiday monday, again, sunshine and showers probably the heaviest of the showers on monday will be across the northern half of the country, a bit more of a breeze as well however, there will still be some decent spells half of the country, a bit more of a breeze as well coming in from the west. So, temperatures 16 17 celsius i think for many places. And then, for the upcoming week, i think it stays fairly unsettled low pressure always close by, showers or longer spells of rain. However, there will still be some decent spells of sunshine at times. Take care. Welcome to newsday. Reporting live from singapore, im steve lai. The headlines. Basing this converse punishment.
