10:34 pm
and i deeply regret the comments i made. it's certainly not the person who i am. i accept it was a mistake. i spoke to the bbc reporter who accepted my apology and hopefully we will all move on. that apology may not be enough, with reaction to the comments from the group women in football urging more action. he should certainly think about his position as manager because he has a big responsibility not only to his clu b big responsibility not only to his club into football in general. we already —— we are always being told eve ryo ne already —— we are always being told everyone in football is an ambassador. i'm not sure what the fa will do, i imagine not very much.

difficult to understand the reasons why i haven't been part of the setup. otherwise, samson kept faith with the majority of players who served so well at the world cup in canada two years ago. 19 players remaining from that third—place finish in canada. samson says they will be under a different kind of pressure at this around. we are expecting to go all the way, which is a different mentality to open. there is a lot of hard work to put in. one reason we've named the squad of these early as the players will get clear plans and guidelines about where they need to become july and they will have to go away and work hard. and guidelines about where they need to become july and they will have to go away and work hard. they will do that and it is a group who are so determined to win this tournament. they know everyday matters now. there will be fresh faces in this squad. four players making theatre debut including the striker, nikita paris and the manchester city team—mate demi stokes. stokes was unfortunate to have missed out on selection

"extremely proud and honoured to be scotland coach. to be scotland coach". she has previously coached arsenal ladies, became the first female manager in british men's senior football when she took charge of stirling university in 2014. the former british and irish lions captain brian o'driscoll thinks that sam warburton will lead the lions again when they face new zealand in the summer. warburton has lost the wales captaincy but was lions skipper when they won the series in australia 4 year ago. i think he has played brilliantly. i think you will absolutely be knocking on the door. sam is one of the more open positions, nobody is putting their hand up. i think he will fit in brilliantly. gatlin is a big fan of sam warburton and knows what kind of captain he is. sam is the kind of character that if they didn't go right and he wasn't selected for the test, he wouldn't throw his toys out of the cot.

brian o'driscoll speaking on the five live rugby union weekly podcast which is now available to download. athletics' world governing body the iaaf say it believes it's been targetted by the russian hackers known as ‘fancy bears'. they say the cyber—attack in february has compromised athletes' medical records and information regarding applications for therapeutic use exemptions. we uncovered this ourselves. so it wasn't something that just happens, we were looking at the safety and security of our systems. unfortunately during that process, we discovered that we had been accessed, we have now done everything we possibly could, put new systems in place and we have used some of the well's best people to help us do that. as i said, first consideration was for the athletes and that's why the statement contains very clear apology. loughborough lightning have gone top

this moment from her previous round. look closely. she marks her ball, picks it up, then puts it down in a fractionally different place, which is against the rules. nobody noticed at the time but a tv viewer spotted it, alerted the officials, who then interrupted her final round to give her a four shot penalty. is this a joke? no, not at all. thompson was in tears. instead of two shots ahead, she was now two behind. her disbelief shared by the watching tiger woods, who immediately tweeted, "viewers at home should not be officials wearing stripes. let's go, lexi. win this thing anyway." she came remarkably close. she battled back and on the final hole, had this putt to win. but agonisingly, victory slipped away. all because of that one eagle eyed viewer. i wasn't expecting that on whatever hole that was.
