but as you are trolling frames. but as you are trolling through trying to look at the important titles and there were tournaments i have forgotten high had made a 171 at the tournament. you talk openly about the end of your career and you say you cannot overstate the career that yips played in your career, sojust explain what it means. it was a gradual thing, it explain what it means. it was a gradualthing, it started explain what it means. it was a gradual thing, it started ten or 12 yea rs, gradual thing, it started ten or 12 years, certain shots would creep in where i couldn't deliver the queue through, no acceleration and my right hand was tightening too much going through the shot. i didn't know what it was. i just going through the shot. i didn't know what it was. ijust kind of thought i needed to practice more or maybe i wasn't focused properly. but thenit maybe i wasn't focused properly. but then it just maybe i wasn't focused properly. but then itjust got steadily, slowly, steadily worse. it was devastating to the point that it was the main reason i retired. i couldn't play snooker the way i used to and the
6:51 pm
way i was capable of. since being a pundit and working on snooker and you are used to people saying this is the greatest ever, that player is the greatest ever. you kind of note that you used to do that, but people forget. when i looked up the old videos, i thought, forget. when i looked up the old videos, ithought, i forget. when i looked up the old videos, i thought, i was all right at this game, i could play a bit. ronnie o'sullivan, you have played against him, is he someone who could reach, match or surpass your records? i think it will be very difficult for ronnie to win eight titles. he is on fire at the moment so titles. he is on fire at the moment so he needs another three. he is probably one of the fittest player in snooker. he could play for another ten years and he's capable of winning another three, no doubt about it. when he is at his best coming he is the best. but there are so coming he is the best. but there are so many players playing at the same level of high standard snooker so it
6:52 pm
is getting more difficult for one player to dominate. who is exciting you at the moment? i love watching ronnie, and players i prefer commentating on more because they play the way i used to play and they play the way i used to play and they play the way i used to play and they play the right shots. i love watching judd trump. he is as close as the way i played, he loves to go for everything. china—macro, he is impeccable. former manchester united and real madrid player david beckham has revealed the name of his new major league soccer team. it will be called club internacional de futbol miami, or inter miami for short. the club also unveiled its crest, which it says celebrates miami's "international, diverse, inclusive, creative and ambitious spirit." beckham was awarded an mls franchise in miami injanuary — the club will make its league debut in 2020. we are new team but we are a city
6:53 pm
with a lot of history and that is what we wanted to create with this crest. but the authenticity of the south american flavour that we wanted. we also needed the modern twist as well because this is what miami is all about. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. the un refugee agency says migrants crossing the mediterranean are in more danger than they were in the past. while the number of people arriving europe has fallen significantly, the number of deaths

has risen sharply due to traffic is taking greater risks trying to bypass greater surveillance from the libyan coastguards. this author is a goodwill ambassadorfor libyan coastguards. this author is a goodwill ambassador for the un refugee agency. his book was inspired by migrant journeys refugee agency. his book was inspired by migrantjourneys and tells the stories of a father telling his young son the stories of his childhood in syria as they wait for a boat to take them across the sea in search of a new life. he spoke to hugh edwards earlier.“ like millions of people around the world, when i saw those photographs of that young boy lying on the beach and his body being picked up by somebody who did know him, did know his name, the sound of his voice, did know what his laughter sounded like, i was gutted. i am a father, i have a son and a daughter and when i saw those photographs, immediately i couldn't help but feel bludgeoned to think what a nightmare his father must be going through. that was the
6:55 pm
impetus to me. i always wanted to do a story around refugees and migrants who are taking these desperate journeys across the sea so sea prayer was inspired by this tragedy. it is not about him, but but it is about the same families who have made the agonising choices and thousands of them have perished and the missing at sea since the drowning. it is a reminder, something that is calling attention? you call it a prayer, but what is the purpose of the prayer, what are you asking people to reflect on when they read the book? it is the third anniversary of the tragedy. all the agencies have put out a report called the desperate journey. it shows the numbers of refugees and migrants coming to european shows have decreased. the journey is more lethal than ever. that story has not
6:56 pm
ended. people are still being driven from their homes by war, by terra, by persecution and people are still dying at sea for little more than a measure of sanctuary and a measure of dignity. this book is to pay tribute to those people, but also to remind all of us of the collective outrage we felt, the indignation we felt when we saw those photographs and remind us there is much more to be done. your many fans, if they are expecting a novel, as they have enjoyed in the past, that is not sea prayer is it, your concept is very different? this is not a full-length model it is a short, illustrated book. it is beautifully illustrated by the artist, dan williams. i am indebted to him for his gorgeous illustrations. it really speaks very poetically to the plight of this
