likes of british sport has rarely seen. the state—of—the—art facilities including an equine swimming pool have also helped and those who know him best say his spirited innovation has made the difference. he would not accept what others were doing, he would always try something different. when the early days we had lard because he thought the horses should have more fat, which gave as more mice. he tried different things, he would never rest on his laurels. the family team will soon be record—breaking. when it comes to the art of winning, racing has found a new master. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. you are watching bbc news. more now

on the bbc decision not to appeal thejudgment of on the bbc decision not to appeal the judgment of the case brought by sir cliff richard against the corporation and south yorkshire police. the high court ruled the bbc infringed sir cliff's privacy. the bbc said at the end of the trial last year, the case last month, there was an important point of principle. is it surprising the bbc is not pursuing this? it was fran unsworth, the director of news and current affairs who said on the steps of the court that the case represented a dramatic shift against press freedom and the bbc was convinced there was a critical principle of press freedom at stake. they sounded bullish about the prospects of appeal and said they we re prospects of appeal and said they were looking at the appeal but they sounded bullish about the principles

at stake. what has happened since, they drew up 11 grounds of appeal and was a hearing injuly where they went back to the original trial charge and 11 grounds where they said he had made errors of law in hisjudgment. he said he had made errors of law in his judgment. he looked said he had made errors of law in hisjudgment. he looked at said he had made errors of law in his judgment. he looked at that perhaps not surprisingly he dismissed the grounds of appeal and dismissed the grounds of appeal and dismissed that application for permission to appeal will stop the bbc have the option to go directly to the court of appeal and before that they took they say legal advice from experienced counsel and were told if they tried to appeal they would not be successful, even though they say the advice they got, the judge did get the central principle of the case wrong when he said people who are suspects in investigations have a reasonable expectation of privacy and the media will respect that privacy. having said that, they said overall if you look at it, they would not win. some

privacy in this instance is quite rare, isn't it? that is the interesting story behind the case because over the years journalists worry about two things before publishing, contempt of court and defamation but since we have had the human rights act, over the past 20 yea rs has human rights act, over the past 20 years has been the developing law of privacy with cases like naomi campbell, that there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to our health, and a consensual sexual act in the case of mosley. it was the first time judge looked at the rights of someone who had not been charged and applied the privacy law to that situation and the judge found people in that situation have a reasonable expectation of the sea and a key reason is if you name someone and a key reason is if you name someone who is innocent, like sir
