mean i sense on it it is best to steal the headlines hitting a grand slam home run that helped them are in a secure a nine seven when it seems meet again on thursday. you know it's a great honor for for us to come back here with the chiro and understand what he means to the mariners franchise i know what he means to baseball here in japan but he also means a lot to the fans in our entire group organization wide in seattle so we want to send him out here and front of his home crowd in japan the best way we can and you know just trying to give him every chance to tip his hat because he's certainly deserving of it. well mike trout set to sign a record breaking contract extension with the los angeles angels the twelve year deal worth four hundred thirty million dollars making it the most lucrative long term contract in baseball history twenty seven year old is a suit song when the american league's most valuable player over. there's

a danger in things like that when you when you sign players to long term deals. but you know you really have to know. organization wise before you do something like that that this is where you want to go and i don't think there's any question you know mike trout is worth if anybody is let's put it that way if anybody's words give a twelve year contract to mike trout is that guy. former world number one victoria azarenka has won our opening match at the miami open events had a start delayed by a day because of rain the three time form a winner is unseated this year was taken to three sets by them like a simple carver. as a rank or face caroline garcia in that round so. basketball star james harden has made more n.b.a. history he's become the first place record a thirty point game against all of the league's twenty nine other teams in

a matter of great personal regret for me. and of this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough your charge of the infighting your tired of the political games and the arcane procedural rouse tired of m.p.'s talking about nothing else but bricks it when you have real concerns about our children schools our national health service knife crime you want this stage of the bricks it process to be over and done with i agree on your side it is now time for m.p.'s to decide john howard has the latest from westminster. well to resume a prepares now to face the e.u. and its leaders in brussels and be issued formally with these all to make to you have your short extension if you want but only if you pass your deal first will in one sense that gives to reason may want she wanted another vote on her brakes

a hard border in the island of islands and all the violence so that could lead to their going to say the reason why is that actually what your intention is and they going to have to try to get some sort of straight answer from a because it's based on that on so that they don't have to consider whether or not to have another emergency summit literally in the two days will directed supposed to happen and potentially protect alan from a no deal by proposing an even longer extension to resume a prepared to go for that so many unanswered questions to the european point of view at the moment they're trying to get some clarity from sarees in may but at the moment this seems still to be no plan b. for what she proposed it proposing to do if she loses her deal for a third time. one of the most dramatic trials over genocide committed during the balkan war in the one nine hundred ninety s. has ended in the hague the former bosnian serb political leader radovan carriage
