apologised and resigned from his presidency of the club, who have been ordered to play five home games without any fans. tom daley is back diving competitively and back winning. the olympic champion took gold at a tournament in edinburgh, topping the scores along with somebody else. it's daley�*s first major competitive event since claiming the synchronised title at the tokyo games. and he's now firmly got his heart set on securing a place in team gb for paris next year. i would be lying if i said i did not want to win another medal at the olympics, because that is what you are in there wanting to do. it would be all the sweeter to be able to dive in front of my kids, my husband, my mum, my friends, everyone, and paris is as close as it gets to a home olympic games in terms of distance, so i am excited about the prospect of it, but like i say, one step at a time. pakistan managed to end day two of their opening test in australia — unscathed — closing on 43 for no wickets in perth.

they still face a huge deficit though when they resume, after australia reached a87 in theirfirst innings — david warner making 164. but it was a good debut for pakistan's promising young young fast bowler aamerjamal, who ripped through the home side's tail, claiming 6 wickets. pakistan will resume 355 runs behind on day 3 at the optus stadium. meanwhile, england's women are heading for defeat in their one—off test in mumbai. already a long way behind india, who batted first, england collapsed in theirfirst innings from 108—3 to 136 all out. their bowlers are now doing their best to restrain india and have done well, taking 6 wickets so far but england are still more than a50 runs behind. onto basketball, and the suspended golden state warriors player draymond green has been offered support by the club's coach steve kerr. green has been banned indefinitely after striking phoenix suns player jusuf nurkic in the face. it's green's sixth career suspension and fourth

in 2023 alone. i think the suspension makes sense. to me, this is about more than basketball, it is about helping him, it gives them an opportunity to step away and make a change in his approach, in his life, and that is not an easy thing to do. baseball star shohei ohtani says he can't wait to get started with los angeles dodgers. the japanese player has moved to the dodgers on a ten—year—contract in the biggest deal in the sport's history. the two—time mvp has agreed to defer a big part of his wages to get round salary cap rules and help the dodgers achieve success. translation: ijust cannot translation: i just cannot wait to translation: i “ust cannot wait to 'oin the translation: i just cannot wait to join the dodgers- — translation: i just cannot wait to join the dodgers. the _ translation: i just cannot wait to join the dodgers. the same -

rest and get ready for buffalo. and that's all the sport for now. uk officials in france are preparing to fly home a british teenager who was found after being missing for six years. alex batty — now 17 — disappeared after travelling to spain with his mother and grandfather. the boy was discovered on wednesday, near the french city of toulouse. behind me is where the state prosecutor works. authorities have said this is now a british affair, it is up to the british police and the authorities to decide whether kidnapping charges have to be made. as far as they are concerned, this is now over for his family. alex is healthy, they do not say anything about his mental state, they do not about his mental state, they do not about where he has been over the

last six years, and in particular about where he has been in france. when he will be returned to the uk is also up in the air, they are saying as soon as possible. there is no direct flight between toulouse and manchester, so it could take some time, but officials are coming down here with british police, to see if they can get some answers on where his mother and grandfather are. we will probe not know the answers to that for some time yet, but there are no questions there are many questions that have to be answered. parents of children who died in circumstances linked to social media and gaming have accused the government of "watering down" online safety laws. it comes ahead of the legislation returning to parliament to be debated next week. our chief political correspondent, henry zeffman, has the latest.

he was a very caring, loving soul. he always put other people first. but he never understood that he was in danger himself at any point. breck was clever, helpful, looked after his triplet siblings, and he was my right—hand man. the bereaved families for online safety are parents bound together by loss linked to the online world. they were in the house of lords back injune to see this. all platforms will be required to comply with ofcom's requests for information about a deceased child's... that was a government minister promising to give bereaved parents and coroners new powers to get information out of tech companies where a child has died in a way that might have been linked to the online world. but now the families believe the government is watering that down, with it only applying in cases where a child has taken their own life. breck bednar, murdered aged just 1a by a fellow gamer he met online who then posted photos of his crime on the internet. olly stephens, a 13—year—old, was murdered by two boys, with social media at the heart

of the case. lorin and stuart were among ten parents who wrote a fortnight ago to michelle donelan, the secretary of state for science, saying they were devastated and bewildered by the government's callous change of position. i mean, we literally even celebrated, you know, as campaigners in a big group. and we felt so proud and pleased that the work that we had done had made these changes that were so important for other families. so then to find out that that moment was all false or fake is quite hurtful. and we're angry. you know, as a group, as individuals, we're angry. and it's not right to backtrack. it's not right to have something taken away that was already agreed on. you need to understand. you need to know what happened. no matter how traumatic or how brutal it is to hear, you need to hear it,

because that was your child. you raised that child, you loved that child and you thought you'd done a good job. but somebody else, through another medium, was able to step in and take your child. in a reply to the families, michelle donelan said she took the commitments the government had made incredibly seriously, but that she thought her proposals achieved their aims. cases of murder are not covered, she said, because an inquest would usually take place after criminal proceedings. she said the police have their own extensive powers to get information from tech firms. she concluded... "i want to ensure that we work together to get this right." so now it's back to the house of lords, where the legislation in question arrives next week. there the ministers will face baroness kidron, a film director turned campaigner on online safety.

i say this more in sadness than in anger that they have slipped up so catastrophically. the government's saying that it's only relevant to children who take their own lives because the police can investigate. i mean, first of all, how do you know what has happened to a child until you get the information? and indeed, the police can only ever investigate if they think there's a crime. lorin and stuart won't be the last parents to lose children this way. this government won't be the last to face these issues. henry zeffman, bbc news, westminster. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. dry for many of us over the next couple of days but heavy rain moving into the north and west of scotland. more details on that injust a moment. for the weekend, it will turn milder for many of us, south—westerly winds, pretty cloudy and rain particularly in the far north—west. the reason why for most of us it will be dry is this big area of high pressure building in from the south. today, we have this front affecting the far north—west of scotland
