in the united kingdom, to remain in the eu and they want their local voices to be heard. people make glasgow, they say. those people may be about to make a huge change. sarah smith, bbc news, glasgow. matthew bryce, a surfer who survived for more than 30 hours clinging to his board in the irish sea, has been described as "extremely is he was reported missing after he failed to return from surfing at westport beach in argyll. eight rescue teams from these areas were mobilised as part of the search for mr bryce from both scotland and northern ireland. he was eventually spotted by a helicopter after drifting 13 miles from shore. our correspondent, chris buckler, reports. after more than a day drifting in the water, matthew bryce was found by the coastguard, floating miles from land. he was still by the surfboard

he left the argyll coast on on sunday morning, but when he was finally rescued, on monday evening, he was halfway between northern ireland and scotland, and farfrom the beach near campbeltown where he'd gone for a day's surfing in blustery conditions. this picture, taken that morning, shows how challenging the waves would have been for surfers. he'd been surfing and when he attempted to recover to shore, we believe he suffered from some cramp and was unable to make his way against the tide. the current which flows through the north channel into the atlantic from the irish sea is very strong. you know, that would have had an impact on how far he'd been drifted out. the big waves around both scotland and northern ireland can carry big risks, but they attract many surfers, and being prepared and wearing a good wetsuit may well have saved matthew bryce‘s life. that length of time in our waters, you know, overnight in the darkness,

it must have been frightening for him. certainly, i think another night of that, i'm afraid, i just think we wouldn't have such a happy ending. after spending so many hours out at sea, it should come as no surprise that matthew bryce is exhausted. however, he's expected to make a full recovery and from his hospital bed he's thanked those involved in saving him as well as those who are caring for him them. those thoughts have been echoed by his family, they reported him missing on sunday. they say receiving last night's phone call that confirmed that he'd been found alive and well was like winning the lottery. he was 13 miles from shore when he was plucked from the sea, just as night was approaching and, in the words of the coastguard, "extremely lucky to have been found." chris buckler, bbc news on the north antrim coast. newsnight is coming up on bbc two, here's evan. tonight, the money thing — should we

be worrying about the deficit still? the taxes need to rise should public spending be cut further? the parties may not be giving much away, but no need for confusion, we will do our best to explain the state of the box. join me on bbc two. here, on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. have a good night. hello and welcome to sportsday with me, will perry. the headlines tonight: expunged from the record books — colinjackson, paula radcliffe and jonathan edwards could lose their world records. it's 42 hat—tricks for christiano ronaldo as he stars in the all—madrid champions league semi—final. and four months on from a from a career—threatening hand injury after taking on an armed burglar, petra kvitova is back on the training court. paula radcliffe has reacted angrily to new plans that could see some

of athletics‘ most famous world records rewritten, including her own for the marathon set in 2003. the proposals from european athletics are an attempt to address concerns over doping, as andy swiss reports. commentator: the crowd anticipating something special once again from jonathan edwards of great britain. august, 1995, and forjonathan edwards, a leap into history. it is a tough act to follow, but he has done it again! i don't believe it! it remains the triple jump world record to this day but for how much longer? under a new proposal, all world records set before 2005 would be erased, including paula radcliffe‘s marathon mark from 2003, because the drug testing back then did not match today's standards. the plan aims to restore faith

in athletics, but those set to lose their records despite doing nothing wrong are unimpressed. very disappointed, obviously. this is a broad, sweeping solution which they are just trying to push in, which yet again sees clean athletes suffering for the actions of cheats. european athletics believes record should now only stand if the athlete's samples are stored for retesting and that has only happened since 2005. some records have stood since the 19805 such as florence griffithjoyner‘s. they never failed drugs tests but no one has ever come close to them. after the recent russian doping scandal, some believe it is time to rewrite the history books. i feel great sympathy for clean athletes like paula radcliffe and jonathan edwards. it is about convincing the public that what they are watching is real. the iaaf will consider the idea in august. lord coe says he likes it.

but it will prove hugely contentious. will famous old world records like roger bannister‘s four—minute mile still be recognised? it seems the sport's rich history could soon be history itself. colinjackson‘s indoor 60 metres hurdles world best set in germany in 1994 would be scrapped under the new plans, and jackson thinks the repercussions for him will be significant. i personally think that the whole of my career is under threat with a statement like this that they have put out. many of my top performances we re put out. many of my top performances were done at major championships where i won gold medals, when i broke the world record for 110 meter hurdles, it was at the world championships in stuttgart, and i won the world title as well. if they ta ke won the world title as well. if they take that away from me, surely they

have to take the medal as well, because you can't have the medal without the performance. everything needs to be eradicated. itjust seems ludicrous as an idea. christiano ronaldo was the star of tonight's all madrid champions league semi—final as real took on city rivals atletico in the first leg at the bernabeu. it's the fourth consecutive season the sides have met in this competition, as patrick geary reports. madrid's is a local rivalry writ large. the banner sarcastically asks, atletico madrid, tell us how it feels. the reply would not be printable. here was the man who scored the winning penalty last time and the opening goal this time — cristiano ronaldo, of course. atletico madrid's normally mean defence had listened up a little bit, allowing artistic freedom to the opposition. —— had loosened up a bit. the next goal was appreciated by both sides. it is now, when it

matters, that the greats are at their best. this is ronaldo's stage. atletico madrid's was smashed apart, real madrid, football became an extension of their fans‘ bragging. in the semifinal, real madrid have three, and in the champions league, their star has 103. surely only he knows how this feels. manchester united have confirmed that zlatan ibramhimovic has had successful knee surgery in the united states. ibrahimovic‘s agent believes the swede‘s injury is not career—threatening and he'll make a full recovery. meanwhile, united left—back luke shaw will see a specialist to determine how bad his foot injury is. he has ligament damage and left the field after nine minutes of sunday's draw against swansea at old trafford. the efl has written to huddersfield to "request their observations regarding team selection" for saturday's 2—0 defeat at birmingham. huddersfield manager david wagner made ten changes for the trip to st andrew's, having already secured a championship play—off place. birmingham are battling it out with nottingham forest and blackburn for survival,

and tony mowbray, the blackburn boss, has questioned wagner's decision. england women's goalkeeper carly telford has rejoined chelsea ladies, following the liquidation of notts county. telford made her international debut for england ten years ago and has been part of two world cup squads. she signed for notts county back in 2014 from chelsea. celtic‘s dominance of scottish football has been reflected in the end—of—season player of the year nominations. with the league and league cup already secured, and a scottish cup final to come, some of their top performers have been recognised. but one aberdeen star hopes he and his team can prevent celtic getting a clean sweep, as alasdair lamont reports. have these men been the best four players in scotland this season? their fellow professionals think so, as the nominees for player and young player of the year gathered today, one man stood up from the crowd.

jonny hayes and his aberdeen side are all that stand between celtic and total dominance of the season's honours. you like if we can win it, we would be delighted, but we're not there to stop celtic, we are there to win it for ourselves and our club. we still have... moussa dembele‘s chances of featuring in the scottish cup final look in doubt, but he is not ruling out the prospect of appearing at hand and to capafine prospect of appearing at hand and to cap a fine per season for celtic. prospect of appearing at hand and to cap a fine per season for celticm isa cap a fine per season for celticm is a last game of the season, it is a final is a last game of the season, it is afinaland is a last game of the season, it is a final and the chance to make a triple, suffer me to have a chance to be part of it, it would be nice. if not, i willjust try to get fit and come back stronger. the ominous message to their rivals is that the whole team believe they can improve on their near—perfect season. whole team believe they can improve on their near—perfect seasonlj whole team believe they can improve on their near-perfect season. i am sure the manageable by a few more

players and add to the squad. if we can keep most of the team, i think we can keep going and improving. i think we definitely will improve as a team. i think we're getting better with each game as it comes, and that is down to the manager and his tactics and what he brings. brendan rodgers looking a safe bet too for manager of the year, celtic‘s stranglehold on silverware this season could soon be complete. two—time wimbledon champion petra kvitova returned to the tennis court today, more than four months after she was badly injured having fought off an intruder at her home who was armed with a knife. kivitova posted this photo of herself hitting a ball on a practice court in monaco on her facebook account with the words: "hello guys, i hope this picture makes you as happy as it makes me!" it was thought the injury could be career threatening. kvitova was initially expected to be out for at least six months, but last month said she has a "chance" of making the french open at the end of the month. mark selby admits it'll be difficult to match stephen hendry‘s record

of seven world snooker titles. he won his third at the crucible last night, beating john higgins to also become only the fourth player in the modern era to retain his title, and i asked him earlier whether he ever thought he'd reach this level when he was starting out in the game. my my goal was always to become world number one and to try and become world champion. i never thought it would be three times. you always keep believing that way, you are working hard and practising hard, and that is always your aim, to become world champion, the pinnacle of the sport. to manage to achieve it once was a fairy tale, really, but three times is unbelievable. playing john higgins in the world final, ten years after my first final, ten years after my first final, and i am playing john ten years on. to come out top this time was a tremendous occasion. john was saying that if anyone can try and match stephen hendry‘s record, he said it could be myself because of the age i am at and the standard of sticker i am playing at the moment. who knows? if i never win the world

championship again i could be happy retiring having won three titles. while i am enjoying it, i will be giving it my best. that's all from sportsday with me, will perry. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are alison little, deputy political editor at the daily express, and ned simons, deputy political editor at huffington post uk. the financial times reports that new demands driven by france and germany have raised britain's brexit bill to 100 billion euros. the metro leads with theresa may's claim to jean—claude juncker that she'll be a ‘bloody difficult woman‘

during the upcoming negotiations. the "i" leads on what it describes as "misleading warnings" about statins, saying thousands of britons are dying of heart attacks and strokes as fewer patients use the life—saving medication. the daily telegraph says it has learned that the government is mulling over plans to offer cash hand—outs to diesel drivers in a bid to encourage them to scrap polluting vehicles. the daily mail says the duke and duchess of cambridge are seeking £1.3 million in damages over the publication of topless photos of kate taken by paparazzi photographers in france. we will start with the daily express — keep taking your stat ins. a

number of other papers have this on the front page as well. lots of concerns about the side—effects of statins, but this report seems to suggest that those effects should not stop people from taking this life—saving drug. not stop people from taking this life-saving drug. the belief is that statins. .. life-saving drug. the belief is that statins... iam life-saving drug. the belief is that statins... i am doing a diane abbott! i knew!
