[00:00:10] journalism. BBC Sport. Hello, I'm
[00:00:19] I'm Tanya Arnold. Here are the top top sports stories. Leeds United
[00:00:22] United are up to third in the Premier Premier League after hammering Newcastle.
[00:00:26] Newcastle. Brendon McCullum wants wants Kevin Pietersen to challenge challenge him as the former England
[00:00:30] England batter joins the coaching
[00:00:32] coaching set up. And Madrid's Madring
[00:00:34] Madring circuit will be changed after after criticism from Formula One
[00:00:38] One drivers and fans.
[00:00:54] Leeds United moved up to third in the Premier League with a thumping
[00:00:58] thumping 4-1 win over Newcastle on on Monday night. Their opener was
[00:01:01] was an own goal that deflected off off two Newcastle players before
[00:01:05] before going in a couple of minutes minutes later. Jayden Bogle was credited
[00:01:08] credited after a towering header header from Dominic Calvert-Lewin Calvert-Lewin brushed off the top
[00:01:12] top of his head but on the stroke stroke of half-time Calvert-Lewin
[00:01:14] Calvert-Lewin did get his name on on the scoresheet. Noah Okafor got
[00:01:18] got their fourth and though Newcastle Newcastle got a late goal, it was
[00:01:21] was a mere consolation on a night
[00:01:23] night that belonged to Leeds. There's There's always something to improve
[00:01:26] improve and it's more or less good good for the manager to have something
[00:01:29] something to speak about it. So it's
[00:01:32] it's important that we stay humble humble and are down to earth and
[00:01:35] and know, OK, we can't allow to ourselves
[00:01:37] ourselves to be big time or to get get too carried away. You have to
[00:01:41] to do the basics. And of course, course, it's goal that we conceded
[00:01:45] conceded was, was avoidable especially especially my defensive role would
[00:01:48] would have deserved a clean sheet sheet but doesn't take anything away
[00:01:51] away that our performance was top
[00:01:53] top class. That was a tough match,
[00:01:55] match, a tough evening. We said that
[00:01:59] that beforehand already that this
[00:02:01] this season will be packed with many many challenges. We were aware of
[00:02:04] of that and tonight we faced a big
[00:02:06] big challenge. Tough night. We didn't didn't wish to have that but we need
[00:02:10] need to learn out of it straight straight away. The good part is that
[00:02:14] that we play at home now on, on Saturday
[00:02:18] Saturday and we need to show the the right reaction straight away.
[00:02:22] away. The video referee from Sunday's Sunday's Manchester derby and his
[00:02:25] his assistant have not been appointed appointed for next weekend's Premier
[00:02:29] Premier League games after the governing governing body admitted to an error
[00:02:32] error of judgement in awarding Erling Erling Haaland's winning goal for
[00:02:35] for city. His effort was initially initially disallowed on the field
[00:02:38] field for offside but following VAR
[00:02:41] VAR intervention it was given VAR VAR was introduced in the Premier
[00:02:45] Premier League seven years ago and and football journalist Henry Winter Winter says improvements still need
[00:02:49] need to come in the way the technology
[00:02:52] technology is being operated. It It works well in the Champions League.
[00:02:54] League. We just have an issue here here and having spent £3 billion
[00:02:58] billion in the transfer window, I I think the Premier League clubs clubs could find a bit of cash down
[00:03:02] down the back of the sofa to invest invest more in improving standards standards of refereeing. This shouldn't
[00:03:06] shouldn't be about a club by club club thing. It's been interesting interesting on social media this
[00:03:10] this morning fans rightly saying saying well hang on a sec, you know,
[00:03:12] know, did you make the same fuss fuss about or did was there the same
[00:03:15] same fuss made about this issue which which affected us when VAR didn't
[00:03:19] didn't help us? But actually this this should be a sport wide or a
[00:03:23] a Premier League wide issue. And And all the fans of all the clubs
[00:03:26] clubs could who have all had issues issues against them and have got
[00:03:30] got incidents that they could highlight. highlight. Just we need to improve
[00:03:33] improve it. We have the so-called so-called best league in the world.
[00:03:37] world. We can argue about, you know, know, elements of it tactical, technical
[00:03:40] technical and issue. Are there enough enough superstars? But English football
[00:03:43] football has got the money to get get this right. And the issue is
[00:03:46] is not with technology. It's just just got to be used properly. And
[00:03:49] And that is down to improving the
[00:03:53] the quality of the individuals. Liverpool Liverpool take on Tottenham in the
[00:03:56] the third round of the League Cup Cup on Tuesday, and their head coach,
[00:04:00] coach, Andoni Iraola, admits he shares shares the fans frustration after
[00:04:03] after their 0-0 draw against Fulham Fulham at the weekend. Having drawn
[00:04:07] drawn their opening two Premier League League matches, they beat Ipswich
[00:04:10] Ipswich and then had a good win against against Atletico Madrid in the Champions
[00:04:13] Champions League. But he feels the the side took a step backwards on
[00:04:17] on Saturday. I understand the frustration frustration the other day because
[00:04:20] because we were also frustrated because because I think we were coming from
[00:04:23] from two good games and we were considering considering OK, it's a step forward.
[00:04:26] forward. This is a step forward. forward. Atletico Madrid and we wanted
[00:04:29] wanted like, no, now it's going to
[00:04:31] to be forward no. And then step backwards. backwards. The performance level
[00:04:34] level is not like the two other days.
[00:04:37] days. And but this happens in football.
[00:04:40] football. I think. We have to accept accept it in terms of there are going
[00:04:44] going to be up and downs in this
[00:04:48] this process, but we have clear that that where we want to go is more
[00:04:52] more towards where we've been. Atletico Atletico Madrid, Ipswich that's the
[00:04:56] the kind of style, that's the kind
[00:04:57] kind of football that we want. And
[00:05:01] And I think we now is the key is
[00:05:03] is like the consistency to perform
[00:05:06] perform like this. Tributes are being being paid to former Czech Republic,
[00:05:10] Republic, West Ham and QPR goalkeeper goalkeeper Ludek Miklosko, who died
[00:05:13] died at the age of 64. Miklosko represented
[00:05:16] represented his country more than than 40 times and made almost 400
[00:05:19] 400 appearances for West Ham. He He was much loved by supporters who
[00:05:23] who regularly sang his name long long after he left the club. He withdrew
[00:05:27] withdrew from cancer treatment in
[00:05:29] in December 2024. Three years after after his diagnosis. Days later he
[00:05:33] he returned to West Ham's London London Stadium for a Premier League
[00:05:36] League match and got a hero's reception.
[00:05:41] reception. England white ball head head coach Brendon McCullum wants
[00:05:44] wants Kevin Pietersen to challenge challenge his methods. Pietersen
[00:05:47] Pietersen has recently been appointed appointed as a mentor to the squad squad and joined up with them for
[00:05:51] for the first time on Sunday ahead
[00:05:54] ahead of the upcoming T20 and one one day international series against
[00:05:57] against Sri Lanka. Pietersen was was very critical of the England
[00:06:00] England players during the Tour of of India last year, but McCullum
[00:06:02] McCullum doesn't want him to change.
[00:06:05] change. Yeah, I ran Kev and said said do you want to come and help
[00:06:08] help us challenge for a World Cup? Cup? He said no. He said I was just
[00:06:12] just I was criticising you not long long ago. I said, I don't care about about that. So some of it's fair
[00:06:15] fair and some of it, you know, would would need some explanation. But But I have no problem with that.
[00:06:19] that. I think it's healthy when you you create an environment where you're
[00:06:22] you're able to challenge, as long long as you're always trying to think think of what's right for the team
[00:06:26] team and to try and help the team team to achieve what you want, then
[00:06:29] then there's no problem having that that kind of that kind of challenge.
[00:06:32] challenge. Energy is brought to the the group already has been immense.
[00:06:35] immense. And you know, I feel very
[00:06:38] very privileged for us to be able able to have him as a resource within
[00:06:41] within our dressing room. He was was obviously a brilliant cricketer.
[00:06:44] cricketer. He viewed the game quite quite differently. He was a winner
[00:06:48] winner and he was a guy who left left no stone unturned when it came
[00:06:52] came to his preparation. And, you you know, I think for us, we're very very lucky to have him as part of
[00:06:56] of our support staff. Organisers
[00:06:59] Organisers of the Spanish Grand Prix Prix say they'll make changes to
[00:07:02] to the New Madrid circuit after criticism
[00:07:04] criticism of its first race at the the weekend. Drivers and fans complained
[00:07:08] complained about the lack of overtaking overtaking opportunities on the new
[00:07:11] new Madring, with Audi's Gabriel Gabriel Bortoleto saying he almost
[00:07:15] almost fell asleep on world champion champion Lando Norris, who was denied
[00:07:19] denied victory for McLaren by the the unfortunate timing of a virtual
[00:07:22] virtual safety car, said there are
[00:07:23] are some obvious changes they should
[00:07:27] should make. England's Henry Pollock
[00:07:29] Pollock continues to play hardball hardball in his negotiations over
[00:07:32] over a new contract at Northampton Northampton Saints. He insists he's
[00:07:36] he's open to offers from elsewhere elsewhere when his current deal,
[00:07:38] deal, believed to be worth around around £150,000 a year, finishes
[00:07:42] finishes at the end of the upcoming upcoming season. The 21-year-old
[00:07:46] 21-year-old recently added boxing boxing promoter Eddie Hearn to his
[00:07:49] his team, who said Pollock was a
[00:07:51] a seven figure player whose current
[00:07:53] current pay shocked him. Obviously Obviously there's loads of different
[00:07:56] different things that come into place. place. I need to make sure that it's it's right for me to stay here so
[00:08:00] so we're still having those conversations conversations at the minute. But But look, I'm open to every kind
[00:08:04] kind of new new chapter and whichever whichever one I choose, I guess I
[00:08:08] I know it'll be right for me. So So I'm just at the minute just still
[00:08:11] still thinking about it. Wales get
[00:08:15] get their women's WXV campaign under under way against South Africa at
[00:08:18] at Cardiff Arms Park on Friday. In In the build-up to that, the Welsh
[00:08:22] Welsh Rugby Union has hit back at at claims on social media that the
[00:08:26] the women's programme is a financial financial drain on the men's game.
[00:08:29] game. Women's rugby director Nadine Nadine Griffiths says allegations
[00:08:33] allegations that a men's professional professional regional club is to
[00:08:36] to be cut because of investment in in the women's games were embarrassing.
[00:08:39] embarrassing. I'm not. Going to lie, lie, I'm really disappointed and and slightly embarrassed sometimes
[00:08:43] sometimes by some of the comments comments that I read in terms of
[00:08:47] of the narrative around the women's women's game, taking money from the
[00:08:50] the men's game. It comes out of a a different budget line. There's
[00:08:53] There's five different budget lines
[00:08:55] lines being men's, women's stadium.
[00:08:58] stadium. Our community, end of the
[00:09:00] the game, etc and that money does
[00:09:03] does not come out of that men's game.
[00:09:05] game. But it's also a misconception misconception because the women's
[00:09:07] women's game actually generates revenue
[00:09:09] revenue as well. So we generated
[00:09:12] generated £1.7 million last year, year, you know, so in terms of where
[00:09:16] where we are and where we want to
[00:09:18] to get to, it is a strategic priority.
[00:09:21] priority. Commercial growth within within the women's game because that
[00:09:24] that is our that is our growth area area of rugby in general. So if we
[00:09:28] we look at the men's game we are are hitting ceilings in terms of
[00:09:31] of where I can. Commercial growth growth opportunities are. There's There's only so much more we can
[00:09:35] can charge for tickets. There's only only so many people we can get into
[00:09:38] into the ground, etc whereas our
[00:09:40] our women's game provides us an opportunity
[00:09:43] opportunity to really bring some
[00:09:46] some serious cash and into Welsh Welsh rugby as a whole. But like
[00:09:50] like I explained earlier, it isn't
[00:09:52] isn't just about that commercial commercial growth, it's about providing
[00:09:55] providing the community the pathways pathways opportunities that any girl
[00:09:58] girl can play. But it's also bringing bringing a new audience into Welsh
[00:10:01] Welsh rugby. So it's bringing people people that don't traditionally watch
[00:10:05] watch men's rugby into women's rugby.
[00:10:07] rugby. And again, it leans into that
[00:10:09] that commercial growth where we're we're selling more jerseys. We are
[00:10:13] are watching more games. And finally,
[00:10:16] finally, did you know there was a a world black pudding throwing championships?
[00:10:20] championships? It comes from the the 15th century war of the roses
[00:10:23] roses between the royal houses of of York and Lancaster, and is based
[00:10:27] based on a battle when it's alleged alleged both sides ran out of ammunition
[00:10:31] ammunition and started throwing food food at each other. This version
[00:10:35] version sees competitors taking it it in turns to hurl black puddings
[00:10:37] puddings at a pile of Yorkshire puddings
[00:10:40] puddings on a tall plinth. Apparently
[00:10:42] Apparently it was a four way split split for the title. Congratulations
[00:10:46] Congratulations to all the winners. winners. You can get all the latest
[00:10:48] latest sports news from the BBC Sport Sport website and app. But for me
[00:10:52] me and the rest of the team here.
[00:10:54] here. Goodbye for now.

[00:15:42] very expensive, is so narrow. It It is a few years. We are in this
