6:36 pm
something new and fortunately it's not for the new for us. in three games the second time happened and we played almost 60 minutes with ten players. the first 25 minutes for the second half fantasticjob. liverpool will have seen manchester city drop points earlier today — they‘ re hosting brighton in the late kick off. and they'll go top with a win this evening — they're 1—0 up, thanks to mo salah, this is another big test for brighton — but they beat manchester united last week, so don't count them out yet. and here's a quick look at the other results from today huddersfield — down to ten men — hung on to draw 0—0 with cardiff while harry maguire scored a stoppage time winner — as leicester beat southampton. that's all of today's games taken care of. three more tomorrow — and the big one on monday is manchester united against tottenham at old trafford. looking for to

6:38 pm
nick parrott reports: at spa the weather can be unpredictable. making the action unmissable. the green light came on before heavy rain in the final session. to suit the drivers to set a time before having to come back in to swa p a time before having to come back in to swap their slick tires for something more appropriate. lewis hamilton usually excels in the west, but even the world champion was finding it hard to get to grips with the conditions. his rival sebastian vettel set the time to beat but as the rain eased off hamilton pushed harder to take the top spot. the german had one last chance to topple him but could not. while that really was no surprise the cars lining up behind them is. two forces on the second row to state that the team is rescued from going out of business. that's a remarkable comeback and something he will need to emulate to
6:39 pm
stop hamilton running away with the championship. one of the toughest qualifying sessions i can remember. it seems to get harder and harder all year long. definitely, i don't know if they had it, it was very close. i was hopeful that i could make that's a slight difference and there were very quick on the straights but then the rain came and none of us have been driving this weekend and so i can't even driving this weekend and so i can't eve n ex press driving this weekend and so i can't even express to you how difficult it was. catalan dragons have made history this afternoon — they're the first french side to win rugby leagues challenge cup. they beat warrington wolves by 20 points to 14 at wembley — sparking wild celebrations. adam wild is there for us: it is extremely important. it's a real turning point for many in this

6:41 pm
and that indeed was the leads that they would not ever going to lose. before half time they got a second try, ben garcia showing just how determined they are to make that piece of history having its way over from close range. leading at half—time it started the second half in exactly the same fashion as that started the first. breida will crusting over a terrific try to extend their lead. then back came at warrington wolves. they really turned it on in the second half of. desperate to put behind them so those years of bad luck they have had over the last few years. george king of benefiting from this fumble to go over, that ballscrews back to 2012 and a guy penalty. just one try it towards the end but the dragons holding on desperately in the final moments to left that famous old trophy. it really was a quite

6:49 pm
terrain while trying to keep your composure. often that's walking up and down the hills that you just shot on which will affect her heart rate. but in order to shoot as consistently as possible you need that peaked to be consistent. for so for the next target there's 2a in order in the competition there can be both between five and 60 metres away. what is the about 15 or 20? it's a shooting in different slopes between trees, light and dark and so that affects your distance and judgement. even using a traditional longbow requires a surprising amount of strength to pull the string back. if you are inspired to give ago it must be done as part of an organised clu b must be done as part of an organised club session and numbers are increasing. it has shifted to girls and that is down to of the films that have come out recently. ike the
