theresa may has returned to the columns. i will be talking further to collea g u es i will be talking further to colleagues including dup to consider how we might meet our obligations in a way that can command the greatest possible support in the house. it but could perhaps see the point. but this is just sheer vandalism. it's not clear how exactly it will cost to clean this up but we are told it will be thousands this, white paint has also been thrown over the canada war memorial,

also in green park, and over this statue of winston churchill in mayfair. this is the fourth time in six years that the bomber command memorial has been vandalised. unveiled by the queen in 2012, it took years for bomber command to be recognised in this way, there were a few tantrums on the court in melbourne today but serena williams capture coal and proved that even after 23 grand slam titles, she is still very much the one to beat. it is not you any more, serena williams, simona had that honour,

for a match that was befitting a final. starting to play like a ranking suggested. she has not won in 23 major titles without the odd setback. she moved closer still to 24th. she was in today at least. she lifted her game to a new level. i didn't. for a record seven, he would need to

stay switched on. he was stretched but he had the answers in the first set. as roger federerfound out yesterday, these young stories just will not back down. novak djokovic had the perfect reply. a win in four said was not fluent but there still remains light at the end of the tunnel. if you are going to do the racket bricking thing, he had smashed it. what drove him to that point? the world numberfour met his equal in the former wimbledon finalist. nothing was out of reach. he broke more thanjust finalist. nothing was out of reach. he broke more than just the spirit of him. with a solitary grand slam quarterfinal, to show for his undoubted potential. yes, it made me feel better. i was

very angry sol yes, it made me feel better. i was very angry so i led my anger out. have you never watched my matches? he was not the only one with a not down. angry at a call in the final set tie—break and his defeat. he didn't hold back in sharing his views with the umpire. he did later say sorry. away from the drama of the single, jamie murray had entered into a war of words with don evans, saying he has made a hash of his career. evans husserl —— who served time out for a drugs ban, said he didn't have the attitude to make it in a single game. here is what he had to say about eva ns's comments. game. here is what he had to say about evans's comments. it isjust dumb really the question of the reason that we're on a doubles tour

that we don't work as hard as the single sky isjust that we don't work as hard as the single sky is just total nonsense and to come from someone who really has not applied themselves as much as he should and really has paid a hash of his career with his decision—making and to come out with those comments is just ignorant, decision—making and to come out with those comments isjust ignorant, i think. huddersfield town have confirmed their new manager. david whitener placed last week. what do we know about the new man? he's a former defensive at midfielder at 36 and becomes the premier league's youngest manager. he was also a second team coach and he was previously a youth team coach in international game in germany as well. joining as now is a good friend of mine. let's look at huddersfield, they are in irrigation

dogfight. we're not sure they are going to get out of it. why is he right person to take over at this time? i am not sure he is. i think huddersfield have looked for you david whitener or the closest thing they can get. they have gone back to they can get. they have gone back to the source. unlike david, he has to ta ke the source. unlike david, he has to take over not in the championship but in the relegation fight with huddersfield from the seemingly hopeless position. i can only assume that this is already very much an appointment with a view of rebuilding their club and rebuilding the premier league challenge becomes the premier league challenge becomes the next season because i think it would be very unfair on him or anyone else in this position to assume that safety can be achieved from this position. should we take the experience into account, the fa ct the experience into account, the fact he has perhaps not coached at this top—level? is that a factor that will affect his performance?

recently don't know because as you said, he has had limited experience asa said, he has had limited experience as a first team manager. that does not tell us a lot about how you is going to do in the premier league with what is clearly one of the wea kest, with what is clearly one of the weakest, if not the weakest team, very little money. it worked a miracle last season, before getting promoted so i think it would be almost unfair to hope that he could emulate what david has done. but i think that hopefully they have enough belief that the club has done so well when it comes to identifying young talent like the manager who is 110w young talent like the manager who is now at hamburg doing quite well. that they think he is good enough to get them back a big season. whether he can save them, and not so sure. get them back a big season. whether he can save them, and not so surelj had to ask, with this influx of german cultures, what is it about them? i think there is a number of

factors that come into play. best of all, they are used to working in an environment where the coach is really the coach so they're not going to come in and say, if meet these signings, i want to control these signings, i want to control the club, i want these people. that is hugely attractive to premier league sides of your mini not quite sure where the club is going or how long the manager will be there. they don't necessarily want a manager who comes with a huge shopping list of players. a lot of these guys have come through the system so they are familiar with working with young players and very happy to promote young players. they do all the things that are cost effective, especially for a club like huddersfield who have to look for someone who can promote from within 01’ someone who can promote from within or he has some ideas of bringing the best young players, so you can see why these type of managers are becoming increasingly attractive.

let's now get a quick round—up of the day's football news. there will be a protest at bolton tonight ahead of their game against west brom. the clu b of their game against west brom. the club are separate —— suffering from financial problems. wolves manager has been charged with misconduct by the fa after being sent off in the four — three defeat on saturday. he ran onto the pitch to celebrate with his players but he has until thursday to respond. ashley cole has responded with frank lampard in derby county. he has signed a deal on to the end of the season. he has until recently been playing for la galaxy. england's one—day cricket captain insists his team are now comfortable being favourites to win the world cup. the tournament which england have never won his staged on home

soil the summer. many people have the responsibility to make cricket relevant. 0nly many people have the responsibility to make cricket relevant. only one man captained england's one—day team. the 2019 successfully in your mind, does have to involve england lifting the world cup? i think at some stage over the next ten years, it would be a mess of me to say it would be disappointing if we didn't win some silverware. because everything has been building towards a? it always is, through every world cup, the aspiration is to lift the trophy at the end. i think with this group of players and with the age being quite young, this is the first

chance to live the sugar. eoin morgan leads the one day of the caribbean, in february. but after their recent form, everyone just expect england to win, right through to the world cup final in london mid—july. it's important to be inspired by that favouritism. you cannot be wilting underneath that? not at all. wearing that favourites tag is something that we have grown co mforta ble tag is something that we have grown comfortable with. previous series, public up until five or six series ago, we will not favourites going into any away fixture against big nations but the more successful we have been, the more confidence it has given us in wearing that favourites tag. meanwhile at this primary school, the enthusiasm was not quite matched by the fielding. coming up tonight, this is pretty

special, we meet the oldest hockey player. you are never too old to player. you are never too old to play in sport. it gives you live and it keeps you fit. after beating ronnie 0'sullivan, he has told us it adds to his uk title. he says beating the five—time winner is good for the future of the sport. everyone is a big fan of him but it is nice to compete against him. i have got to a lot of finals so it is pleasing to be of the beaten into mac finals when he is playing. it is good to have rivalries and when

ronnie plays me, it is nice to think i have a chance against him. athletes from across the globe will gather in abu dhabi for the special 0lympics world games later this year. that is for people with intellectual facilities. we year. that is for people with intellectualfacilities. we been to see the british team in training. meet the british men's special 0lympic basketball team. we'll have autism and says the sport has helped him develop important communication skills. i was proud to be selected and it's a great experience because we help each other out. we encourage each other what to do and i'd like to wina each other what to do and i'd like to win a silver or a gold medal if my team can do it. but this would be really, really good. in summer 2017, athletes from across the uk came to sheffield for the special olympics national games. 18 months on, they

are back in sheffield again, here at the english institute of sport. they're getting ready for the world games in abu dhabi in march. 128 british athletes are on the team taking part in17 british athletes are on the team taking part in 17 different sports. it might be a cliche to say that support changes lives but there are plenty here who will tell you that it is true. in our school, we wouldn't have any friends, we were left out, we didn't do sport because we weren't good at it. here now, it's really nice to have your friends who understand you and they will chew yuan in the racing and you will chew yuan in the racing and you will cheer them on in the racing and it's just amazing. will cheer them on in the racing and it'sjust amazing. i love that. this is not any sport wagon in big games are the paralympics, is more about giving everyone with an intellectual disability the chance to take part. but if you have not heard of special 0lympics before, no, you're not alone. we are the best kept secret in great britain at the moment. i

have worked in sport for a long time andi have worked in sport for a long time and i didn't know special olympics gb existed. that part of myjob, to make special 0lympics famous and to share the stories of the hugely inspirational athletes. everybody's got a berlin story to tell. they all like that story to end with a gold medal at the world games. iain henderson is set to miss ireland's opening six nations game against england and scotland because ofa against england and scotland because of a finger injury. it happened against the win against leicester on saturday. he is likely to be out for several weeks. at the world indoor bowls, he went on to win the set date — three. england's cricket selectors will have had half an eye on the big bash league in australia today. the new england patriot will take on

with the england yesterday. now, if you elect to receive, you kick a field goal or u—turn over the ball, the next score wins to the other tea m the next score wins to the other team can come back and have a field goal and it goes back and forth and we have seen that result. we saw the because patrick controversy because patrick did i make 2 controversy because patrick did i make his - onto fielfifiufifi‘fl elia ree fiééfi iii? fifé? fififfi fielfifiufifi‘fl elia ree fiééfi iii? fifé? fifiefi field fielfifiufifiifl elia ree fiééfi iii? fifé? fifiefi field yesterday which is
