five live rugby union weekly podcast that the level of physicality in the modern game is unprecedented. i commentate on rugby and think, how didi i commentate on rugby and think, how did i ever played the sport, i know it is changed and it's got more physical and there was no contact in the game but the physicality, what these guys are putting themselves through every single week is just phenomenal. the 2028 ryder cup will be hosted at hazel teen national in minnesota. the course was the site of usa's victory in 2016. it will be the first american venue to hold the event between the us and europe's top golfers for a second time. so that's it from sportsdayjust a reminder that you can listen to michael vaughan and phil tufnell on five live at 7 o clock for more discussion around the ball tampering affair. as we've been hearing,

the united states and its european allies are expelling dozens of russian diplomats in a co—ordinated response to the poisoning of a former russian spy in salisbury. the us has ordered 60 envoys to leave, and diplomats are also being expelled from 16 eu countries, alongside the uk. in a moment we'll talk to our correspondent paul adams in moscow but first, adam fleming is in brussels for us. the list is getting longer, how unprecedented is this in terms of the coordination of this action? borisjohnson the coordination of this action? boris johnson tweeted the coordination of this action? borisjohnson tweeted this afternoon saying it was extraordinary and nothing like this had happened before, expulsions on this scale had

never been done in a coordinated way like this before. you are right the list is getting longer, in last hour oi’ list is getting longer, in last hour or $0 list is getting longer, in last hour or so we list is getting longer, in last hour or so we have had the addition of spain saying they are sending home two russian diplomats and hungary back one. the hungarian pro minister is often taught as an ally of vladimir putin so even he isjumping onto this combined action that is being taken by a group of eu countries. we expect the list to get longer tomorrow, because some countries it takes longer for them to get their ducks in a row so i let another cabinet meeting tomorrow with a deputy prime minister briefing them and the belgian cabinet will have a briefing and four belgian it is more complicated because they asked the host nation have russians not only russian ambassador to belgium enters embassy here they also have the russian delegation to the eu and russian delegation to the eu and russian delegation to the eu and russian delegation to nato and intriguing to see some of the countries that have

not taken action explaining why, a tweet from the spokesman for the maltese prime minister basically saying their presence in russia is so saying their presence in russia is so small that if they expel russian diplomats from malta then russia could expel all of the maltese diplomats from moscow leaving them com pletely diplomats from moscow leaving them completely unrepresented there was no is to the ground at all other some might say it is more because of the influence of russian money on the influence of russian money on the maltese economy. the austrians do not want to expel anyone because they say they're about to take up they say they're about to take up the rotating presidency of the eu in the rotating presidency of the eu in the summer and they want to remain neutral. people will say it is more for political reasons and that is excuse. for political reasons and that is excuse. yes, a massive massive diplomatic effort we have seen from the uk to get their eu partners to sign up to the eu, the uk line on this which is that russia is overwhelmingly likely they'll responsible for this and the best course of action is to expel russian diplomats and these people are

called russian diplomats but many of these governments these are undeclared russian intelligence agents, in other words spies posing as diplomats. paul, russia expected some kind of concerted action but would they have anticipated the scale we have seen? i don't think anyone did, frankly. observers nor government officials quite thought it would come together in this way. they will have been particularly surprised by the fact the americans went first and went heavy with this very large number of diplomats being expeued very large number of diplomats being expelled from the us and then throughout the afternoon and into the evening this procession of others, no, this is exactly what the british government was after and probably what the kremlin was hoping it would not see. the kremlin has been looking for signs of division within the eu hoping that not

eve ryo ne within the eu hoping that not everyone would feel the same way but as this day has unfolded it has becoming creasing the apparent or it ought to have become apparent to officials here that this is now an almost unanimous opinion that eve ryo ne almost unanimous opinion that everyone agrees with the assessment that there is no other logical explanation for the poisoning in salisbury and it fits into a wider pattern of russian behaviour something the british government has been keen to emphasise at all points. making sure this is notjust seen as points. making sure this is notjust seen as the particular matter of salisbury that something as part of a bigger pattern. one has sensed the reactions from people here anger and dismay and defiance, the kremlin spokesman said we are regretful these decisions have been taken, he said the russian response will be guided by the principle of reciprocity which we can assume means the russians will expel a similaror means the russians will expel a similar or exactly the same number of diplomats from all of these

countries involved and from russian politicians some colourful language including one from the chair of the foreign affairs committee in the upper house saying this was a dirty and shabby game and saying this was effectively a gang of thugs in the schoolyard ganging up on an random victim and only ganging up because they were a gang. that is the way to seen among they were a gang. that is the way to seen among politicians here. the prince of wales has praised the lake district saying visiting the area makes his ‘spirits rise' as he unveiled a plaque declaring the area a world heritage site. speaking outside the ‘theatre by the lake' in keswick, he said the area was "a particularly special part of the world." last year the national park joined the taj mahal, the grand canyon and stonehenge on the list of areas with world heritage site status after being backed by a unesco committee. now — you've heard of a hundred

and one dalmations — but how about 601 dachshunds? the sausage dogs and their owners gathered on perranporth beach in cornwall in an attempt to beat a record set on a south wales beach last year. 500 of the breed met on that occasion — but that total was easily surpassed by this gathering. "sausage fest", as the organisers labelled it, attracted 601 daschunds to the cornish sands. and the sun shone on them. time for a look at the weather. for many of us, a glorious start of the week, picture perfect skies across many parts of the british isles through this morning things have changed markedly for many western parts and to the rest of the evening and overnight will find a cloud

thickening or the while eventually the rain across western parts will gradually make progress further towards the north and towards the east and there will be some hill snow around but on the highest ground above 300 or 400 metres or so and not a particularly cold night. the hill snow comes under the grampians further south in the southern portion of the front eventually staggers off into the north sea still leaving behind a lot of cloud, the best of any brightness through wales and the south—west and temperatures responding as a consequence. you're watching beyond 100 days on pbs. 21 countries expel over 100 russian intelligence agents in response to the nerve agent attack here in the uk. the british foreign secretary says it stands in history as the largest collective expulsion of russian diplomats. the kremlin says it sees echoes of the cold war and promises to respond in kind.

president trump says "much of the stormy daniels stuff" is a "political hoax." but his twitter response so far has been uncharacteristically muted. a guy walked up on me and said to me forget the story. and then he leaned round and looked at my daughter. he said, what a beautiful little girl, it would be a shame if something happened to his mum.
