League [00:00:18] United are up to third in the Premier League after hammering [00:00:20] Newcastle. Brendan McCollum wants Kevin [00:00:23] of Peterson to challenge him as the former England batter joins the [00:00:27] coaching setup. And Madrid's. laddering circuit [00:00:31] will be changed after criticism from formula one drivers and [00:00:36] of fans. [00:00:43] of [00:00:50] League United moved up to third in the Premier League with a thumping [00:00:54] 4-1 win over Newcastle on Monday night. Their opener was an [00:00:58] own goal that deflected off two. castle players before going in. A [00:01:02] couple of minutes later, Jaden Bogel was credited after tering header from [00:01:05] Dominic Carvet Lewind brushed off the top of his head, but on the stroke of [00:01:09] halftime, Calbit Lewing did get his name on the scoresheet. Noah [00:01:13] Okkaford got their fourth and th Newcastle got a late goal. It was a [00:01:17] mere constellation a night that belonged to [00:01:20] leads. There's always something to improve and this is more or less [00:01:23] good for the [00:01:24] a manager to have something to speak about about it, so it's it's [00:01:28] important that we stay humble and then..." are down to us and no, okay, we [00:01:32] can't allow to ourself to to be big time or to to get to [00:01:35] carried away, you have to do the basics and of course this goal that we [00:01:39] conceed was was avoidable, [00:01:42] of um, especially my defense roll would have deserved today clean sheet, [00:01:46] but doesn't take anything away, that our performance was top [00:01:48] of classed, that was tough match, tough [00:01:52] evening, we said that beforehand already that [00:01:56] the season will be picked with many [00:01:59] of challenges. [00:02:00] uh we [00:02:00] were aware of that and tonight we faced a big challenge uh tough [00:02:03] night uh we didn't wish to have that but we need to learn [00:02:07] out of it straight away the good [00:02:09] part is um that we play at home [00:02:12] now on on Saturday and we need to show the right reaction [00:02:16] straight away the video referee from Sunday's [00:02:19] Manchester derby and his assistant have not been appointed for next [00:02:23] weekend's Premier League games after the governing body [00:02:26] of admitted to an error of judgment in awarding earling winning goal [00:02:30] for City, his effort was initially disallowed on the field for [00:02:34] of offside, but following VAR intervention, it was [00:02:37] given. VAR was introduced in the Premier League seven years [00:02:41] ago, and football journalist Henry Winter says improvements still need to [00:02:45] come in the way the technology is being operated. It [00:02:49] works well in the Champions League, we just have issue here, and having [00:02:53] spent 3 billion quid in the transfer window, I think the Premier League clubs [00:02:57] could find a bit of cash down the back [00:02:58] of the sofa to invest. more and improving standards of refereeing, this shouldn't be about [00:03:02] a club by club thing, it's been interesting on social media this morning, fans [00:03:06] rightly saying, well hang on sec, did you [00:03:09] of make the same fuss about or did was there the same fus made about this [00:03:12] issue which affected us when VAR didn't help us, but [00:03:16] actually this should be a sportwide or premier league-wide issue, and [00:03:20] all the fans of all the clubs could who have all had issues [00:03:24] against them and have got incidents that they could [00:03:27] of highlight, just we need to improve it, have the so-called best [00:03:31] league in the world, we can argue about elements of it, [00:03:35] a tactical, technical and issue, are there enough superstars, but English [00:03:39] football has got the money to get this right, and the issue is [00:03:42] of not with technology, it's just got to be used properly, and that is the down [00:03:46] to improving the quality [00:03:48] of the individuals. Liverpool take on Tottenham [00:03:51] in the third round [00:03:52] of the League Cup on Tuesday, and their head coach Andoney Ireola [00:03:56] admits he shares the fans frustration after that nil draw against [00:04:00] Fullam at the weekend, having drawn their opening two Premier League [00:04:04] matches, they beat IPSwitch and then had a good win against Atletico Madrid [00:04:08] in the Champions League, but he feels the side took a step [00:04:11] backwards on Saturday. I understand the frustration [00:04:15] the [00:04:15] other [00:04:15] day because we were also frustrated, no, because I think we were coming from two [00:04:19] good games and we were considering okay, it's a step forward, you switch is a step [00:04:23] forward, Atletico Madrid and we wanted like no, now he's going to be step forward, [00:04:27] step forward, no, and [00:04:28] then a step backwards. the performance level is not like the two [00:04:31] other days and but this happens in football, i [00:04:35] think we have to accept it in terms [00:04:39] of there are gonna be up and downs in [00:04:42] in in this in this process, but we have [00:04:46] clear that where we want to go is more towards where we've [00:04:49] been, Atletico Madrid, which that's the kind of style, that's the [00:04:53] kind of football that we want, [00:04:57] and and I think we now is the keys like the consist. [00:05:01] like this: to [00:05:03] to former tributes [00:05:06] of are perform Czech to being Republic, paid West Ham and QPR goalkeeper Ludec Mclosco died at the age of [00:05:10] 64. country more than 40 times [00:05:14] and made almost 400 appearances for West Ham. He was [00:05:17] much loved by supporters who regularly sang his name long after he left the [00:05:21] club. He withdrew from cancer treatment in December [00:05:25] 2024, three years after his diagnosis. Days later [00:05:29] he returned to West Ham's London Stadium for a Premier League match and got [00:05:32] a hero's [00:05:34] reception. England [00:05:37] whiteeball head coach Brendan McCullen wants Kevin Peterson to challenge his [00:05:41] methods. Peterson has recently been appointed as a mentor [00:05:45] to the squad and joined up with them for the first time on Sunday ahead the [00:05:49] upcoming T20 and one day international series against Sri [00:05:52] Lanka. Peterson was very critical the England players during the [00:05:56] tour of India last year but Mccalum doesn't want him to [00:05:59] change. Yeah I ran Kiv um and said do you want to come and [00:06:03] help us challenge for a world cup he said I was just I was [00:06:07] criticising you lot not longer so I don't care about that so some of it's fear and and some [00:06:11] of it you know would' would need some explanation, but I have no problem with that. I [00:06:15] think it's healthy when you create an environment where you're able [00:06:19] to challenge, as long as you're always trying to think of what's right for the team and trying to help [00:06:22] the team to to achieve what you want, then there's there's no problem having [00:06:26] that that kind of that kind of challenge, energy brought to the group already [00:06:30] is has been immense, and you feel very privileged [00:06:33] for um for us to be able to have him as as resource [00:06:37] within our dressing room, he was obviously a brilliant cricketer, um, [00:06:41] he viewed the game quite. definitely [00:06:43] he was a winner um and he was guy who who left no stone [00:06:47] on turn when it came to his preparation and i think for us [00:06:50] we we're very lucky to have them as part of our support staff. [00:06:54] organizers the Spanish Grand Prix say they'll make changes to [00:06:57] the New Madrid circuit after criticism is its first race the [00:07:01] weekend drivers and fans complained about the lack of [00:07:05] overtaking opportunities on the new maddering with Audi [00:07:08] Gabrielle Borteletti selling he almost fell asleep and [00:07:12] champion Lando Norris, who was denied victory for McLaren by the [00:07:16] unfortunate timing of a virtual safety car, said there are some [00:07:20] obvious changes they should make. [00:07:23] England's Henry Pollock continues to play hard ball in his [00:07:26] negotiations over new contractor Northampton saints. [00:07:30] He insists he's open to offers from elsewhere when his current deal [00:07:34] believed to be worth around 1550,000 year [00:07:38] finishes at the end the upcoming season. The 21-year-old [00:07:42] recently. added boxing promoter Eddie Hern to his team who said [00:07:46] Pollock was seven figure player whose current pay [00:07:49] shocked him, [00:07:51] yeah obviously there's loads of different things are coming to place, I need to make sure that it's right for me to [00:07:55] stay here so we're still having those conversations at the minute, but um look I'm I'm [00:07:59] open to every kind of new new chapter um and whichever one I choose I [00:08:03] guess um I don't be right for me so I'm just a minute just um [00:08:07] still thinking about it wales get their women's [00:08:11] wxv campaign. underway against South Africa at Cardif Arms [00:08:15] Park on Friday. In the build-up to that, the Welsh rugby union [00:08:18] has hit back at claims on social media that the women's program [00:08:22] is financial drain on the men's game. Women's rugby [00:08:26] director Nadine Griffice says allegations that a men's professional [00:08:30] regional club is to be cut because of investment in the women's [00:08:34] games were embarrassing. I'm not going to lie, I'm really [00:08:37] disappointed and slightly embarrassed sometimes by some the comments that I read in terms [00:08:41] of... um the narrative around the women's game, taking money [00:08:45] from the men's game, it comes out of different budget line, this there's [00:08:49] five different budget lines, being men's women's a [00:08:53] stadium, community the [00:08:54] end game etc. and that [00:08:58] money does not come out of that men's game, but it's also a [00:09:02] misconception because the women's game actually generates revenue as [00:09:05] well, so we generated 1.7 million pounds last [00:09:08] year, you know, so in terms of where we on [00:09:12] where we want to get to, it is a strategic [00:09:15] priority uh, commercial growth within the women's game, [00:09:19] because that is our that is our growth area of rugby in [00:09:23] general, so if we look at the men's game, we are hitting ceilings in terms [00:09:27] of where a commercial growth opportunities are, there's only so much [00:09:30] more we can charge for tickets, there's only so many people we can get into the ground [00:09:34] etc. whereas our women's game provides us an [00:09:37] opportunity to really bring some serious [00:09:41] cash - and into wealth rugby as a [00:09:44] whole, but like I explained earlier, isn't just about that [00:09:48] commercial growth, it's about providing the community the [00:09:52] pathways and opportunities that any girl can play, but it's also bringing a new [00:09:56] audience into welsh rugby, so it's bringing people that [00:10:00] don't traditionally watch man's rugby into women's rugby and again it leans [00:10:04] into that commercial growth where we're selling more [00:10:07] jerseys where we are watching more games [00:10:10] and finally do... you know there was a world [00:10:14] black pudding throwing championships? it comes from the [00:10:17] 15th century war the roses between the royal houses of York [00:10:21] and Lancaster and is based a battle when it's a edged [00:10:25] both sides ran out of ammunition and started throwing food at each [00:10:29] other. This version sees competitors taking it in turns to her [00:10:33] black puddings at pile of Yorkshire puddings a tall [00:10:36] plinth. Apparently it was four-way split for the [00:10:40] title.

The main focus the heavy [00:13:00] thundery rain will be more towards eastern parts of northern [00:13:03] India and into Bangladesh and onto the Himalayas threatening some [00:13:07] further flooding. We got some wetter weather still affecting the main islands [00:13:11] of Japan on Wednesday. Sunnier skies though for the cream peninsula, [00:13:15] at the moment still dry for eastern parts of China.
