for a child's health than something like computer games. a child is more at risk of sitting in front of an xbox or a play station for hours and hours, eating unhealthy food, eating sugary drinks, not in an active environment of sport. the risk to his health is much more than the risk it is to a player, girl or boy, who is playing by player, girl or boy, who is playing rugby within the environment which is looked after and coached properly. all we need to do is make sure we do everything we can to make that risk as minimal as we can and ta ke that risk as minimal as we can and take in tackling out of rugby is not going to do that. taking tactfully out of rugby is going to take away the enjoyment of why people want to play the game and what you will have then, if you have less people wanting to play a sport like rugby they are then going to be doing nothing. are we going to stop children playing out with their friends on the street, running in the yards or during lunch break at

school? playing on their bike? i was climbing trees and building tree houses at eight years old, what about hockey, will we bring in rubber sticks? there has to be common sense. if you don't want your son or daughter to play rugby then you can stop them playing rugby but don't take that enjoyment away from the majority of people. 99% of people who have reacted to this news today have been in total support that rugby is the great sport that it is for that reason and they wa nted it is for that reason and they wanted to remain that way. as long as we do we possibly can to minimise those risks in the contact sports think that is important. donna creighton has become the latest british bobsledder to launch a ‘crowd—funding bid' in an effort to make next year's winter olympics. the former skeleton slider moved to bobsleigh in march in the hope of being fast tracked into the gb team, but after british bobsleigh withdrew funding for the women's programme, creighton started a crowdfunding campaign. she was inspired by team mate misha mcneill, who reached her £30,000 target on monday. and it was the fight that everyone

was talking about when mixed martial artist conor mcgregor took on former boxing world champion floyd mayweather in las vegas and it seems mayweather wants a way to remember it himself, every day. and he's done it in some style, installing two eight—foot portraits of him and conor mcgregor made out of broken glass in his new £19 million beverly hills mansion. given that the fight earned mayweather a few hundred million dollars it seems only right that you pay homage to that in some way. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. president trump's is due to hold a news conference with

the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy. let's ta ke let's take you over there, i think thatis let's take you over there, i think that is the rose garden where both leaders will appear of course this comes leaders will appear of course this co m es after leaders will appear of course this comes after the revelation that at least six of president trump's closest advisers including his daughter and son—in—law breached regulations, that is rex tillerson, breached regulations by using private e—mail accounts to discuss official business which is something mrtrump official business which is something mr trump levelled at hillary clinton and wanted her locked up for. one wonders what journalists are and wanted her locked up for. one wonders whatjournalists are going to be asking in relation to that controversy. that is the north korea crisis as well continuing. and the controversy crisis as well continuing. and the c0 ntrove rsy over crisis as well continuing. and the controversy over american footballers and national basketball

association players kneeling during the singing of the national anthem before games. a lot of those sports star is doing so. not standing to comment on the state of race relations across america. president trump has said they should be sacked for not standing during the singing of the national anthem. but one of the president's advisers there, kellyanne conway. the scene in the rose garden. the president appealing with mariano rajoy, the spanish president. they have had talks today. but mariano rajoy is not going to be attending an eu head of state summit in estonia in a couple of days' time because of the contested independence referendum due to take place in catalonia over the weekend. many over there in

barcelona looking to secede. the authorities in the dread say it's something they are not going to allow but we could well actually get both leaders walking out in the next couple of minutes. anyway when we do get it we will bring it to you when we can. the attitude of older generations toward young people is that they're lazy and social media obsessed. that's according to a survey into the perception of generation z — those aged between 16 and 22. the young people who took part in the survey, which was commissioned by bbc newsbeat, said it wasn't entirely true, with almost four in ten of them describing themselves as hard working. generation z are also more optimistic about their future compared to other generations — with 25% saying they'll have a better life than those older than them. today, teenagers are often told they'll struggle for work and should give up on the hope of ever owning their own home, but a survey by ipsos mori which spoke to 1,000 16—to—22—year—olds and 2,000

from older generations suggests a quarter of generation z are optimistic about their future. i spoke to this group in birmingham. success, ithink, is measured in a different way for our generation. it is almost like if you are able to make a living or survive off let's go straight to the white house and that press conference from donald trump. i am greatly honoured to welcome president mariano rajoy of spain and it's a great honour to have you at the white house. thank you very much. we have just concluded a very productive conversation on a crucial range of economic and security issues. before we begini economic and security issues. before we begin i would like to take a moment to send america's hearts and players to the people of puerto rico and the us virgin islands. both have been devastated and i mean absolutely devastated by hurricane maria and we are doing everything in
