wide are common, uk wide legislation around things like food hygiene, hygiene standards and food labelling. that's unacceptable to the scottish government and nicola sturgeon has said it's an effective veto over the scottish parliament and it is not something she will agree to. sarah smith, scottish correspondent at peterhead, thank you. britain's athletes have returned from their most successful winter olympics ever. team gb brought back five medals from south korea — one gold and four bronze — beating their previous record, as our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. flags at heathrow for everyone. a calm welcome home. cheering. but olympic medallist means a new status, even amongst old friends. commentator: lizzy yarnold next. the record investment at £28 million of lottery funding from uk sport brought five medals, including lizzy yarnold's memorable gold. i wondered what her legacy could be. there are many escalators in britain, but no skeleton courses to slide down. we are not a snow nation, we're not an ice nation. so the inspirational message i take to schools is that i grew up in kent and i loved sport and ijust wanted

to be an olympian. but i ended up going, doing my best, and coming home with a gold medal. and i was a normal kid from kent. commentator: absolutely stratospheric. the fact remains, if you want to excel in winter sports, you have to travel abroad. there are some olympic sports which are far easier to play in every town and city in great britain. like this one. british basketball has even been discussed in the house of commons recently. it has mass participation amongst young people but isn't considered likely to win olympic medals, and so doesn't get uk sport funding. we are in danger of losing national teams. it's got to be looked at now. it's notjust re—evaluating, not just talking about my sport, talking about all sports, the way they are funded. we are at a crucial point. some sports are given huge amounts of money and it is a very low participation sport.

uk sport exists to turn lottery money into medals, which everyone enjoys. but, like sliding on ice, the secret to funding may well be balance. joe wilson, bbc news, heathrow. that's it from me. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm holly hamilton. coming up on the programme: welcome home to the stars of this year's winter olympics, as team gb return to the uk. is this the end of ryan wilson's six nations? the number eight is cited for alleged foul play during scotland's victory over england. and living on easy street — former arsenal striker ian wright's damning criticism of his former club. hello and welcome to the programme and after sliding, skiing

and snowboarding their way to success, team gb have returned to the uk with their highest ever medal haul at a winter olympics. they touched down at heathrow this afternoon, greeted by family, friends and some excited fans. before they had a chance to unpack their bobble hats, our reporter, daniella relph, went to meet them. the plane touched down at heathrow airport just after the plane touched down at heathrow airportjust after 2pm this afternoon, and on—board was britain's most successful ever winter olympics team, with five medallists. they were cheered by friends, family and onlookers who had stopped to take a look at team gb as they arrived back. for some of the athletes, their return home was a whole new experience. the athletes, their return home was a whole new experiencelj the athletes, their return home was a whole new experience. i was pretty worried on the flight back, all of the media makes me anxious. it has

been all right. hoping to put snowboarding on the map. hopefully people will give it a shot. i did not expected. i would have been happy to make the finals, but i landed two of the best tricks i have ever done, so happy days. the success ever done, so happy days. the success at the games this year will be an inspiration to others to take an interest or take up a winter sport. lizzy yarnold retained her gold in skeleton. i spoke to her earlier. you have done this before. what is it like to come back here when you are greeted by your friends and family at the airport? it is com pletely and family at the airport? it is completely overwhelming, you don't realise how much the nation supports you until you walk in, and people ask you for selfies, and they say they were screaming at the tv, which means so they were screaming at the tv, which means so much. how about reflecting

on the success of the team, how do you look back on that? even if an athlete came forth, did not quite live out their dreams, everyone should be so proud because this moment, going to the winter olympics isa dream moment, going to the winter olympics is a dream that people have held for four or eight years. that is a lifetime of horrible training, they have done their best. i am proud of everyone, and to bring home five medals between us is a huge achievement. have you got another winter olympics in you? it is a hard question to answer at this time, but i'm enjoying the rest, enjoying showing people these medals. it is the first time i have worn them together. we will see what happens. there is some time for rest and they catch up with friends and family for tea m catch up with friends and family for team gb. for some of these athletes, there is a big decision ahead. well they have the funding at deflation to carry on to the next winter

olympics in beijing in 2022? scotland's ryan wilson's six nations campaign could be over after he was cited for making contact with the eye area of england's nathan hughes. the alleged incident happened just before half time during his side's calcutta cup victory on saturday. the number eight will face a disciplinary hearing on wednesday to answer for the offence which carries a minimum four—week ban. too many of arsenal's players are living on easy street, according to their former striker, ian wright. arsenal have received criticism for the manner of their defeat to manchester city in yesterday's league cup final and their former top scorer wants players to be much tougher to beat.

i want arsenal to start to challenge again, iwant i want arsenal to start to challenge again, i want us to start signing players who make it exciting again. we wa nt players who make it exciting again. we want someone who is going to lay down the law to people and the new manager, whether that will be, and the players who were now on easy street. some of them are renting out properties on easy street! it will ta ke properties on easy street! it will take them a few years to get back into that because everybody is progressing and moving forward, all of them. now some "great news for celtic, but sad news for scotland" — well, that's how brendan rodgers described scott brown's decision to step away from international football. brown says he feels he can no longer give his all for both club and country, and that's why he's ending his international career. jane lewis has more. flexing his muscles for club, but no longerfor flexing his muscles for club, but no longer for country. after 55 caps, round has bowed out. in a statement, he said... great news for celtic, it is sad for

the scottish team. going forward, a year is at that stage in his career where he wants to extend it at club level with the games he has. it is a sensible decision. he made his debut for scotland in a friendly against the usa on the 12th of november 2005. his competitive debut came against georgia in march 2007. as he became an influential player for his country, he was made captain in 2013. in 2016, he retired from scotland duty and had to be lured back two

months later by gordon strachan. but the new scotland boss will have to do without his services. the new scotland boss will have to do without his serviceslj the new scotland boss will have to do without his services. ijust hope it doesn't regret this decision. if we, fight for euro 2020 —— if we qualify for euro 2020 and he is not pa rt of qualify for euro 2020 and he is not part of that and you look back on that and say, i could have had an opportunity to play for my country ata opportunity to play for my country at a major finals, it could be a decision he regrets. regrets or not, scotla nd decision he regrets. regrets or not, scotland will have to move on without the man who has been their captain for the last five years. so are you ready for the world cup? no, not that one — with plans revealed today for an annual season—ending world cup of tennis. the competition would replace the existing format of the davis cup and will feature 18 teams and be played over seven days in late november. it's actually the brainchild of barcelona star gerard pique and could start as early as next year,

if approved by the international tennis federation. f1 engines have roared back into life after the winter break as the first day of preseason testing took place in spain. it was a difficult start for mclaren's two—time world champion fernando alonso, who lost a wheel on his car after six laps this morning. lewis hamilton was sixth quickest overall with red bull's daniel ricciardo setting the pace, completing 100 laps in barcelona too. the season starts in a month in australia. with heavy snow forecast for spain on wednesday, they are traded get as much testing in as they can. hats off to the boys. this morning was good, just the afternoon was so cold and we don't get any productive running. would i referred to have beenin running. would i referred to have been in bahrain or somewhere? yes. judd trump survived a tricky encounter with dwayne jones to move into the second round of the welsh open snooker.

the world number three won by four frames to three in cardiff, but only after welshman jones had fought back from 3—1 down to make it 3—3. trump then took the deciding frame. earlier, defending champion stuart bingham defeated the world number 108, chen zhe, by four frames to one in cardiff. there were also wins for 16—year—old jackson page, peter ebdon, ricky walden, liam highfield. that's all from sportsday. mark selby is in action at the moment. selby is leading 2—1. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are sebastian payne, political leader writer at the financial times and dia chakravarty, brexit editor at the telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro leads on the story of the five—year—old who died after being turned away from a gp appointment because she was late. tamara's express because she was late. tamara's ex press warns because she was late. tamara's express warns of the blizzards set to sweep the country. so cold, the sea has frozen at weston—super—mare. it is cold outside, but the financial times says there is heat on theresa may as jeremy financial times says there is heat on theresa may asjeremy corbyn plans an alliance with rebel conservatives as he plans to keep

the country in a customs union with the country in a customs union with the european union. the daily telegraph points the finger at the rail companies, saying operators are profiting from compensation and counselling services —— compensation from cancelling services for passengers. and the sun has gone with the great british flake off as snow is set to disrupt travel. let's have a closer look at those. welcome to sebastien and ten two. —— and dia. jeremy corbyn's big speech yesterday. we now know that labour is supporting a position where we

are to remain permanently in some sort of customs union. jeremy corbyn said was to be some form of customs union. where we allow the eu to do trade deals with the rest of the world on our behalf. but as far as jeremy corbyn is concerned, that is one way of getting around the northern ireland question, about having a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, and also having frictionless trade with the european union. but it is sebastien's story. just looking at this story here, do we think that some of these rebel tories will really side with labour? the ft seems to suggest they will be. the story is whether this will mean anything. jeremy corbyn is not in

power at the moment. the only way this matters is because of the parliamentary arithmetic. theresa may has a gossamer majority, so she has to do a deal with labour leaders and the dup and so on. this is so important for the future of
