super league is set to scrap the current super 85 format from next season and move towards a "one up, one down" system. that's according to the new chief executive robert elstone who has set out his vision for the sport. he described the current format as "well intended" but says it's created too much uncertainty as david woods reports. robert elston is a lifelong rob really fine but spent the past 20 yea rs really fine but spent the past 20 years on the financial side of the door most recently as chief executive at everton. he comes into rock the sport which need direction and the healing of a few riffs. so what is his vision? we are accessible, community—based, it is an exciting product with tremendous players. we have real good positive strength, a sense of value and purpose of what we are all about and wonderful heritage. if we can ca ptu re all wonderful heritage. if we can capture all that and presented to fa ns capture all that and presented to fans and broadcasters then i'm optimistic that we can change it and

grow it and we can become the sport that fans want it to be. one area that fans want it to be. one area that he will look to change immediately is the link structure. four teams at the moment could be relegated at the end of every year and from next year he wanted to be just one doubts and one up from the championship. the competition format is important but not the be all and end all, it is the performance of the club and of super league and the governing body, all aspect of that for me far outweighed the competition structure. not to say that it competition structure. not to say thatitis competition structure. not to say that it is not important but when we are confident about what we want let's show some endurance and stick with it. so day one in the new job was facing the media. day two in other words is all about fixing the problems in the game. how successful he will be, we will have to wait and see. and before i go — let's return to russia, as we wish phillipe coutinho a happy 26th birthday. although his brazil team mates didn't get him much of a present. instead they pelted the barcelona star with

eggs, flour and milk! he did manage to get his own back though — with a little help from marcelo he managed to get some revenge on neymar in the end. i wonder who'll be left with egg on their face after this world cup? not long before we find out! that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. a last minute deal with tory remainers means that the government has avoided a defeat in the house of commons as mps vote on the eu withdrawal bill. mps have rejected an attempt to give parliament more powers over the brexit process. a very busy day at the commons.

our correspondent, clive myrie has been following the day's events and joins me now from westminster. theresa may perhaps feeling more confident that she will be able to go into those negotiations at the eu summit in the coming weeks. not feeling perhaps better hands are tied for the that was the suggestion that those people who believed that those amendments should be thrown out from the lords, that is what they felt should be the case today, that she should be free to negotiate the best possible deal on behalf of the best possible deal on behalf of the united kingdom. here the moment that that defeat was avoided. after mps rejected proposals to give parliament power to reject any brexit deal agreed between the government and the eu. order. order. the ayes to the right 324. the noes

to the left 298. the ayes to the right 324. the noes to the left 298. so the ayes habit, the ayes it. well that young is here. they have just kicked that can down the road. and the trust that those backbench mps have put on the government is that at some point mps will be willing, will be given rather some kind of meaningful say in the brexit process. they have not picked it down a very long road because this bill now goes back to the house of

lords. so the argument is that if the government does not stand by its wired the house of lords will simply put back in the original amendment saying we want a meaningful say at the end and so there is a safety net for those conservative rebels. they say to me that they went to the prime ministers office, a lot of comings and goings going on inside, they went to the prime minister ‘s office, 15 of them that they say they were egged on by others in the chamber and they did gilbert had the numbers to the government and the government would not have given away any confession unless that felt it was facing defeat. brexiteers as saying that we just promise to have a chat with them but it is not so simple because the lords are still to have another say. so they have to be careful here, the remainers say we trust the prime minister, she said she would sort this out and she has got to otherwise the house of lords will kick it back again. we just showing pictures now of the commons chamber, a point of order being discussed there. pretty much

all of the boats i think the government won today, is too is a feeling more confident now although she has more for —— more votes to deal with tomorrow? well i think she's trying to negotiate with careful path, not with the eu, that is separate, but with her own party and ultimately on one side she has these 15 or 20 conservative remain mps who say we want to stay closely aligned with the eu after brexit, it will be damaging to the economy if we do not and then she has the largest section of the party saying we need a clean break from the largest section of the party saying we need a clean breakfrom the eu, we need a clean breakfrom the eu, we need a clean breakfrom the eu, we need to take advantage of the opportunities. squaring the circle is incredibly difficult so every cautious steps has got to be negotiated and it is difficult to see how ultimately she is going to come up with a compromise. but i think the remainers feel that this will be a big concession because ultimately they did not like the idea of no deal, crashing out but no deal, that she comes to parliament

and says i did this deal which is maybe not very good or no deal. he did not like that option. if the confessions go ahead then that will mean that cannot happen. and the votes tomorrow on a customs union and on membership of the european economic area. how do you think that will go question marks the european economic area, they will not win that the question will be how many labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. labour mps rebel against their leaderjeremy corbyn. the labour leadership things that would be the worst of all wells, the so—called norway option, you pay your money, except immigration and freedom of movement and get no say in anything so movement and get no say in anything so they would be a sizeable rebellion on that on the labour side. on the customs union that has been touched again, the question is can the cabinet decided when they go to their away the day next month, can they decide which of those two options the gulf war and the bigger question, we'll either of them be ready in time. more crucial governments want —— more usual votes

for the government tomorrow and of course we will have coverage of that but right now i it has been very overcast day. at least for most of the afternoon. now the weather across the country has been varied with some sunshine around and tomorrow quite a bit of sunshine around as well but also some showers. later in the day the weather will go downhill. in the short term clear skies expected through the course of the night. temperatures will be around 10 degrees, i think across the country. a lot of rain and some strong wind and that will be piling into with the uk during the course of wednesday but not until later in the day so a lot of fine weather around and a few showers may be developing in some areas. but on the whole a decent day and then overnight and into thursday we expect heavy rain

to sweep across northern parts of the uk and with that also go force winds, it really is going to be rough across northern parts of the uk. you're watching beyond 100 days. a great leap forward or a rehash of a deal the north koreans had made years ago? donald trump says the world will be impressed with the work the singapore summit has delivered. but will the north koreans follow through on the commitments made? it all started with a handshake. kim jong—un speaks of his unwavering commitment to denuclearisation but donald trump makes the first big concession with the promise to stop war games on the korean peninsula. people are going to be very impressed. people are going to be very happy. and we are going to take care of a very big and very dangerous problem for the world.
