of injuries to heal themselves, because given the fact that they've got so much support, you can take it stage by stage so that you allow the body to heal naturally. any kind of surgery to heal naturally. any kind of surgery and then have an anaesthetic risk, but also at risk of being no damage or potentially scarring within the muscle later on. i think probably i would imagine the decision taking time is because they wa nt decision taking time is because they want to make sure they get it right, but there's also pressure on them from spurs themselves that tottenham's medical team was doing what's right for their team. there's that view of whether that's the consideration of the england team for the euros and 2020 this year anyway. it's difficult to know of course, but what you say the realistic target would making it for the summer for england rather than the summer for england rather than

the spurs in april? it's a toss-up for that. because of the importance of harry kane because of his international side. the one thing they don't want to do is push them to the point was that the problem and he breaks downjust for the international side. the responsibility for the recovery is a lwa ys responsibility for the recovery is always going to be tottenham hospers with a view from the international asa with a view from the international as a secondary factor. i guess harry kane himself will feel pressure from the media and supporters, i think you got to get on the field for, and prove that he's fit for the spurs for the international side. but it's going to come into consideration. betting companies with streaming rights for fa cup ties have said they would allow the games to be streamed on a free platform elsewhere. it's after the fa was criticised for its decision to sell the rights — via a third party — to seven gambling websites who, since the start of last season, have been showing fa cup ties on their websites and apps.

the fa says it's open to exploring the possibilities although they wouldn't want matches shown to clash with other tv broadcasts of live games. here's our sports editor dan roan. i think it gives the fa something to work with. it does create something ofan work with. it does create something of an issue, after all if you were to just live stream every fa cup match where does that put the broadcasters, the bbc and bbc and bt sport and they spent a lot of money on the rounds. they would want a discount. if this is to work the fa would need to stream matches but not the ones that bt and the bbc have it. that might be a one—way solution could be found. i think does give you some idea of the pressure that these bookmakers and indeed the fa find themselves in the wake of this controversy. the timing is

controversial. they struck the steel in 2017 before they try to distance themselves from the gambling industry by cancelling the partnerships with the ladbrokes and so partnerships with the ladbrokes and so they made an attempt to try and move away from gambling. this deal was done before that. and it's only 110w was done before that. and it's only now that i think it's really created this furore because it's contradictory with the mental health campaign at the president, the duke of cambridge is spearheading and which of course was given such publicity when all the games kicked off late in recognition of the campaign that he has launched. of course it's that which this arrangement seems to be a contradiction of. that the reason why it has become an issue right now. lets quickly take you through some of the day's other stories: nick cushing is to leave his position as manager of manchester city women to take up the post of assistant manager with new york city fc in the united states. cushing s final match in charge will be at home

to arsenal next month, with current assistant alan mahon then taking interim charge. jos buttler‘s been fined 15% of his match fee from the second test after swearing during england's victory at newlands. stump microphones picked up his expletives aimed at south africa's vernon philander. paul stirling top scored with 63 as ireland set west indies a target of 238 to win the second one day international in bridgetown. they're 46 for three from 13 overs in reply. the hosts won the first of the three odi's. and england's beau greaves has had a 16th birthday to remember. the teenager is through to the semi—finals of the women's bdo world championships in london after beating aileen de graaf of the netherlands 2 sets to 1. tim henman said it was hugely

disappointing as his great britain team exited the atp cup at the quarter final stage. the new nations tournament — being hosted in australia — treated us to an epic quarter final between britain and the hosts earlier — going right down to the wire in the doubles and it was very much a case of what might have been. joe lynskey was watching. one of the oldest rivalries and a brand—new competition. they had this to settle. jamie murray had this to settle it. it is long! for great britain it was one of four match points they let slip away, the climax that for the cloud, and watching team—mates, tapped an extraordinary deck. he true once again on his underarms serve to see it was spectacular enough to see nicka it was spectacular enough to see nick a curious and full flow. he drew once again on his serve to see

off—camera end. and with sydney behind them now australia look to press home. a semi final play would be sealed with a win in the next singles match, but britain's dan evans singles match, but britain's dan eva ns ha d singles match, but britain's dan evans had other ideas. a sensational swing. with the captain's support, evans thrust his team back in the tyre. it took him more than three hours to seal this most gutsy win on a tie—break. and so at match all the doubles were decided. evan's opponents went straight to concorde, still after that setback he had the slight touch. that when you're sent this match to a decider, first to ten points wins. but for every chance britain created, the home side would hit back. a beauty! at 17-16,

side would hit back. a beauty! at 17—16, finally australia broke through. there are probably the most stressful tie—breaker through. there are probably the most stressful tie—brea ker i've ever played in my life. definitely having a bit of red wine tonight. the atp cub sets tennis up for its new season. cub sets tennis up for its new season. if it goes on like this there will be some year ahead. mo farah says he would have quit his relationship with former coach alberto salazar sooner had he known what was to come from usada's investigation. salazer was banned for four years for doping offences. farah was speaking ahead of his plans to return to the track this year: i believe in a clean sport. ijust continue to enjoy my support and do what i do at the same time. had i known the news, what salazar was taking for years, if i had known that sooner i would have been the first one out. i wish i had known quicker. despite criticism over

its human rights record, saudi arabia is continuing to expand its reach into the sporting arena. snooker will venture to the country in october for the first time as part of a new 10 year deal with the world snooker tour. the chairman barry hearn has been speaking to the bbc about the controversial decision and his plans for the sport over the next decade: it's a massive statement because it shows, without getting involved in the political overtones of course we are all aware of the situation there but support knows no boundaries in our view and of course the gospel of snooker. we are notjust involved in doing a major two and a half million pound prize money event, we are there to create an infrastructure of snooker via coaching and academies and later visits, and universities. schools, trying to motivate a country. i want to be more involved in sport generally. there were

certain criteria from the outside and as faras certain criteria from the outside and as far as we as referees, and the saudi government said ok, we understand that. that's another small step forward where it can help. the bigger picture for us is establishing a global footprint to make sure that we are in literally every country in the world, and saudi arabia have signed up for the long term which is significant. it's an escalating contract for ten years. we have a chance now to really make a mark within that territory, we hope other territories will follow suit. that's all from sportsday. stay with us on bbc news, coming up in a moment, the papers.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the talk radio presenter, daisy mcandrew and director of thejohn smith centre and former leader of the scottish labour party, kezia dugdale. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the metro says the queen has been left heartbroken by the duke and duchess of sussex‘s decision to step back from senior royal duties. the express says harry and meghan have been ordered by the queen to sort it out, and quickly find a workable solution following their decision to quit their official positions. but the daily mail reports on the news that the duchess of sussex has already left the uk and travelled to canada, leaving prince harry to deal with the fallout over what the paper calls their "abdication crisis". the ft leads with international fears as western intelligence officials believe a passenger aircraft that crashed in iran killing 176 people was mistakenly

brought down by an iranian anti aircraft missile. and the guardian picks up on comments from the canadian prime minister, justin trudeau, who says his government "will not rest" until it gets justice following that plane crash in iran. 63 canadians were among those killed. that's the story that we will begin with and the ending, as is often the way, has marked up the front pages as it often does. it's chosen a picture to show the wreckage of this ukrainian airlines flight. it crashed shortly after take—off from tehran. hundred 76 people on board. imean, tehran. hundred 76 people on board. i mean, it's absolutely disintegrated. and of course, tonight as you were saying, this new angle as the brits now seem to think and believe that was fired by an

iranian missile. of course, nobody was saying it was intentionally fired because half the passengers on that plane were iranian. it would not make sense for them to deliberately shoot this plane down. trudeau saying i will getjustice for the canadians who are on the plane. the iranian saying this is psychological warfare on behalf of the brits and americans. clearly there will be a big disagreement and war of words. many of the black box which has been given up yet. it seems like there's an awful lot more that needs to come out about it. yes, we have not yet gotten the evidence that the authorities, the western officials seem to be basing their assessment on. the guardian says the ukraine jack downs by missile, western officials believe and of course as they say over that black box we looked at we won't for

sure. there will be say this is not the case. you see the word accident in the guardian. there were aiming at something and if it was not passengers that so i don't know if accident is particularly well— placed. 79 of accident is particularly well—placed. 79 of the people that died were iranian. behind it the largest nationality was canadian and that's whyjustin trudeau has stepped to the forefront of how the world is interpreting what's happening here and the demand for justice following on. the backdrop of course is the tension that has been there for sometime now between united states and iran. the tension that was massively excluded by donald trump's actions just a few days ago killing the iranian general and then course the de—escalation when everybody held their breath waiting to see what the reaction would be, and in fact although it was explosive it was quite tame as far as there being no casualties.

then of course this. which i think it probably will we don't know. it probably was an accident, a very, very damaging accident. we can hear all the echoes of de—escalation, this is opposite of de—escalation and if everybody jumps this is opposite of de—escalation and if everybodyjumps on this and says this with a deliberate act of war, if it was accidental that's exactly how wars start. with an accident that does not look like an accident. and what a mistake to make if it is something that happened, because this surface to air missile launcher locked onto a target. a p pa re ntly launcher locked onto a target. apparently we were talking to former director general earlier this evening, and he was saying some of the russian kids that the iranians could be using is not very reliable or accurate. what a mistake to make. in the guardian saying us media outlets pointed to clear evidence of anti—aircraft batteries being identified, so it could well be down

to faulty equipment or something much more sinister than that. to faulty equipment or something much more sinister than thatm to faulty equipment or something much more sinister than that. it was cnn or one of the american newspapers got hold of this footage, not professional footage, but footage that's been handed to them of what appears to be this missile hitting an object in the sky very close to where we know the plane went down. so that's what the so—called evidence is. that, as friends we know has not been handed over to the authorities and the newspaper and cnn still have it. that needs to be unpacked very carefully, but with this war of words everything one side says is disbelieved by the other side, we have artie seen them saying psychological warfare, you can believe anything they say. trying to pick your way through all of that diplomatically is going to be very difficult. but we do know is that with any kind of accident or incident it will be investigated very, very thoroughly. it's something that the aviation industry does better than anybody else. if
