10:35 pm
when he is playing you can't take away that desire. elsewhere this evening lampard's former cloud chelsea are facing an uncertain future after their russian billionaire owner roman abramovich put plans to redevelop stamford bridge on hold after delays to the renewal of his uk visa. the bbc understands abramovich does not want to invest one billion pounds in an infrastructure project in a country where he's not allowed to work. our sports news correspodent richard conway has more. plans for a new stadium here at chelsea are on hold. it was that it would be replaced by new stadium, 6 million bricks, same architect that designed the beijing birds nest stadium, but that is now on hold and the reason is because roman abramovich has made a personal decision we understand, to halt the plans because of the delays in renewing his visa. there's been difficulties in that process, it's all in the context of heightened

diplomatic tensions between london and moscow following the poisoning of surrogate screwball, the former russians —— in light of that, he is a close ally of liber putin, the russian president has had difficulties renewing the visa, he's a israeli citizen but he can't work your, and that's because of that he is putting up plan, on hold. in terms of chelsea and the team, his investment and committed to backing the team remains unchanged. if the question of the stadium and it looks as if stamford bridge will not be redeveloped anytime soon. raheem sterling's manchester city team—mate fernandinho has accused some of the british media of ‘pursuing' the englnad forward, after he revealed a new tattoo of an assault rifle on his leg. sterling responded to criticism by saying it was in memory of his father who was shot and killed, to remind him to never pick up a gun. but some have suggested he should have it removed, or be dropped from the england squad for the world cup. the british press write about him,
10:37 pm
and you can see some pursuit against them, and he's a lovely and nice quy- them, and he's a lovely and nice guy. and every day, he's up and happy and i'm so glad to share the dressing room with him. and i don't know why the people treat him like that. let's head to paris now, where kyle edmund, the british number one, has made it through to the third round of the french open for the second successive year, but he is the last british singles player standing at roland garros. nick parrott was watching edmund's win today. fans used to be desperate for an autograph, now they want to show that they were there, keen to chart
10:38 pm
the progress of the kyle edmund. he was rocketed in winning his first match in paris and got to a blistering start. taking the opening set in half an hour. that must‘ve come as a shock which woke the hungarian up and he appeared to be a different player and the second set, showing off touches on the way to battering the brick and into submission. there was clearly something wrong with admin, the finger was fixed too late to save the set, but it saw the 16th seed rediscover his touch. in less than an hourand a rediscover his touch. in less than an hour and a quarter, admin powered his way to the third round equalling his way to the third round equalling his best performance of the french open, but improving on that will be difficult against his next opponent. the man who beat rafael nadal twice. cameron norrie though is out. he resumed his match with lucas pouille after it was stopped because of bad light last night. the british number three attempted to force a fifth set but lost the fourth on the tie break to the 15th seed.
10:39 pm
heather watson is also out. losing to the 16th seed, belgium's elise mertens, iin straight sets. she'd never reached the third round at roland garros before, and could only hold serve twice as mertens won 6—3 6—4 elsehwere this evening catalans dragons are the first team through to the semi finals of rugby league's challenge cup. they beat huddersfield 20 points to six in what was the giants' new coach simon woolford's first match in charge. catalans are nowjust 80 minutes away from their first final since 2007. england are waiting to name their team for the second test against pakistan until they know the results of ben stokes' hamstring scan. the all—rounder didn't do any bowling orfielding in today's practise session at headingley. england go into the game one nil down in the two match series, and having not won a test since the end of last summer. patrick gearey reports. these are the moments when the
10:40 pm
repetitive discipline is forged, repeated and trailed until their second nature and ara habit, bateman had developed an unwanted night, losing. joe groote lost six test and eight the latest sunday. everything about and around the team is question, ben stokes might not be fit. good job route has not had long to do well on helps us get straight back into it, not having too much time to think about things, it was very clear where he needed to improve from last week. good preparation, guys were tired, it's not going out of proving a point and putting a lot —— a strong performance as a group and showing real pride in the badges. early summer used to be a safe space, last time england lost the first test of the season, was against west indies and 95. there are echoes of that,
10:41 pm
skilled bowlers and haunted in the scotsman, but the pakistan team is unlikely tormentors, seventh in the world and unable to play test in their own country. they brought in was meant to replace the injured player, and expect the same result. will try to win and level best to win the series as well. they are a good team, they‘ re win the series as well. they are a good team, they're changing one or two so it's not a problem. cricket will take place in the shadow of the construction work and both team projects are right in very different places. pakistan has something remarkable to build upon and england for some time, have been making running repairs. that's all from sportsday. coming up next on bbc news it's the papers. goodnight. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:42 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are are media editor at the guardianjim waterson and the political strategist jo tanner. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times says the us is starting a trade war with three of it's biggest trading partners by levying tariffs on imports of steel and aluminium. the independent pictures a defiant looking donald trump,and says brussels will retaliate. the i also claims a trade war is on the cards with the eu, canada and mexico which have all been hit with huge levies. the daily telegraph has a story about a new breakthrough blood test that can detect ten types of cancer several years before a person falls ill. the daily express features
10:43 pm
the story of a terminally ill nurse thanking those who are paying for life extending treatment, which she claims wasn't available to her on the nhs. the metro raises the question of the "special relationship" between the uk and us following the tariffs. and the guardian reports the us are pushing its allies to the brink. so many of the front pages are leading with the us pressing ahead with plans to impose tariffs. i suppose we should start here, here it is. world trade war looms as trump hits allies with tariffs, but you wonder who winds, because this retaliatory tariff is introduced. that's the biggest fear now, is what's going to come next. the language is all about something we've heard suggestions of tariffs on peanut butter for example, we've heard suggestions of tariffs on peanut butterfor example, not quite sure where that comes from,
10:44 pm
but levi jeans, bourbon, quite sure where that comes from, but levijeans, bourbon, issues around harley—davidson motorcycles for example. ultimately, consumers will get caught up in this and is quite rightly mentioned, the special relationship, where does it leave it and it certainly seems like it's rather difficult to suggest we have a special relationship when we have ta riffs a special relationship when we have tariffs that are going to be slapped on. does not matter rain decides to do, because we are still in the eu, and that's the plot matters. yes i eu on our behalf is already retaliating with sanctions, sorry, trade levies, this is aimed at china though. it's part of the president trump's to start up protect industries in the states, and protect as he ran on the successful platform of steel production in the states. and in places that voted for him unexpectedly, and almost its
10:45 pm
collateral, and the fact that britain, which i remember18 collateral, and the fact that britain, which i remember 18 months ago, seeing theresa may in the white house with donald trump talking about doing a trade deal in talking about doing a trade deal in talking about post brexit and being friend of the line, the fact that we are 110w of the line, the fact that we are now left complaining and that we are collateral in something aimed at a country on the other side of the world does not say much for our standing. no, the bases on what he is doing, is national security to get around the w t o is doing, is national security to get around the w t 0 rule. is doing, is national security to get around the w t 0 rule. that's an interesting line thejustin trudeau in canada has taken real offence and called it an affront to canadians who served alongside americans and it's actually that he came out quite strongly tonight on the issue. it's all part of the way he did get it through in terms of legislation and the white house using it as a measure, but actually language has offended lots of people.
