celtic remain seven points clear at the top of the scottish premiership. their old firm rivals rangers won 2—1 at home to hibernian. but celtic enjoyed a thumping four—nil victory at motherwell. odsonne edward scored twice for celtic, but the pick of the goals was the third, a rocket from callum mcgregor. that's celtic‘s 11th consecutive domestic away win. elsewhere there were wins for st.johnston, kilmarnock and ross county. while the match at the foot of the table between st.mirren and hamilton finished 1—all. to rugby league as the super league has voted at a board meeting today to have more influence to prevent controversial signings in the future. this follows israel folau's move to catalans dragons. the australian rugby player has not played for 10 months after being sacked by rugby australia for homophobic comments. but he's being given another chance in rugby league, something he grew up playing, after joining catalans dragons. however, several clubs have backed

hull kr's threat of legal action over the deal as they are worried about the potential damage this move could have on the league. with more on this, here's our rugby league correspondent dave woods. i think today was a reflection of how disappointing the game is as a whole. but the cattle and dragons had signed israel against the wishes of the rfl, this typically gets out. most of the rfl, this typically gets out. m ost clu bs of the rfl, this typically gets out. most clubs as well but a reflection that they can do very little about it now. the dragons, outlined today by representatives outlined why they've made the signing and what they've made the signing and what they expected. the club obviously i can, tell them that they were not happy that this had happened. and looking for ways as they heard, i somehow vaguely framing a way of stopping these controversial signings from happening again. whether they can find that framework

remains to be seen. the rfl is the body besides whether a player can be registered, they want more power than that. is not a case of presenting preventing him from signing another year. we had led to believe that 12 stipulated that to get at here is discussed in the overall said no we did not want to sign them. they also went into rally away from that same date they want to sign him. perhaps not every a pet would the result of that. it is difficult without all of the clubs at the rain. it is one club going to comment to the rest of the clubs saying that we want to sign this player and had a clubs want to say we can't send that player because that makes it a better team. as to oui’ that makes it a better team. as to our disadvantage. it is mired and a lot tea m. our disadvantage. it is mired and a lot team. as to our disadvantage. it is made in erotic confusion. it is made in erotic confusion. journalist steve brady is based in france and covers the dragons and he says the reaction there has been very different to the uk.

my my own personal opinion, the team practically he looks up at that i have seen them. he is moving around a lot. he is a big unit, captain seth that you see him in my lab. he is very keen to play. he just wants to play. we have been told, not to ask certain questions, the clubs promised that should israel speak co ntroversially promised that should israel speak controversially like he has in the past, there will be a immediate termination of his contract. i did not think we will be hearing any more and snuck views on homosexuality are the legend. i think what we will see i strong and talented same bass player who has a contract with collapse came up with himself. he will hit the season writing and put himself back on his helmet of australia. let's take a look at some of other stories grabbing the headlines. anthony watson's calf injury will keep him out of england's six nations match with scotland this weekend. after missing the france defeat on sunday, the winger aggravarated it in training yesterday and sat out of the squad session today.

mo farah‘s struggling with injury too. he's got an achilles problem and will not defend his london half marathon next month. and, odion ighalo says he was so intent on moving to manchester united that he took a pay cut. the former watford striker joined united on loan on transfer deadline day from chinese club shanghai shenua. mark williams has limped his way into the second round of snooker‘s world grand prix. williams was given permission to wear a slipper—style soft shoe on his left foot because he's suffering from gout. the three time world champion still beat barry hawkins 4—2. meanwhile ronnie o'sullivan is through to he quarter finals. now to some worrying news coming out of shanghai as their sports authorities have recommended to suspend all sporting events in the city — as a result of the coronavirus.

the number of cases in china has now jumped to more than 2a,300 with almost 500 deaths so far. the move casts even more doubt on the chinese grand prix, that's in shanghai on 19th april. well here is the shanghai circuit, where it's believed that the race will have to at least be postponed. but with a record of 22 races this season, finding a new date could be tricky. and it's not the only race that's being questioned with the inaugural vietnamese grand prix on the 5th april also at risk. the capital hanoi is about 100 miles from the chinese border. that leads us onto the tokyo 0lympics, as 0rganisers are "extremely worried" about the possible effect of the coronavirus on this summer's games. the ioc said they were in contact with the world health organisation and had full confidence that tokyo 2020 were in control of the situation. 20 cases have been found in tokyo.

translation: i'm seriously worried that this pending at casket disease could throw cold water on the momentum of the toys and games. i hope that it will be stamped out as soon as possible. the tokyo 2020 committee will co—ordinate with ibc, seeks the japanese government and the tokyo metropolitan government to tackle this issue felt thoroughly. this weeks olympic basketball qualifiers have been moved from china to belgrade due to the coronavirus. great britain women are hoping to qualify for the olympics for the first time and one win could be enough for a place at tokyo 2020. our olympic sports reporter nick hope is in serbia for us... a few years ago did not even the british went and thought limbic qualification would be possible because they said we had no support. scott ba eza because they said we had no support. scott baeza seating of a set of very impounded to london 2012, all of that support from your case participated in this case. he had

just survived on a shoestring budget despite that they had achieved possible winning the silver and finishing 500 basket. that's a caring family here at the olympic qualification event. if they can achieve a result pickets in a place that tokyo 2020 of the next few days at the chance farm days i could transform each at this point. to get to the actual pics, if that doesn't change thing what can? it's really not amazing for us not only what he said to get to expect to prove that gp basketball deserved that we deserve to get funding. but we have done already. with a little bit more support, we might do more. great britain has to face great britain and china that was the original host and china that was the original host a switch to serbia because of the carotid virus. it might be seen as advantage of for many nations

because of the change plans and i britain as an advantage. it could happen to the i was about it. britain as an advantage. it could happen to the i was about itm britain as an advantage. it could happen to the i was about it. it was like i had family members in the same as that is? yes but it is this place do not worry about it. try not to baby it not exist to everyone else. this is a great opportunity. i did not want desire is to stop us from our goals. now we're back on track. serbia isn't much closer, we have much time to prepare, i am happy about this. you're playing at the top level we know it's going to be hired is not going to be a good and we have to fight for it. that is not mindset going into every game. everything is going to be a war. he once had to get. we are not the other ones i went back to get. we are excited that we going to go out with a plate with a passion that would play with. they opened their

campaign against tamara. the preparation that could be a good time to play them. basically they went they are plan based on its missions here. it could all began to south korea on saturday. they are going to be loved great britain in that world and world rankings. if great britain can read that line one to three could be to in tokyo 2020. finally to the nfl where kansas city was packed before it got underway though, we must tell you that crowds witnessed a dramatic car chase. a joyrider decided to take a spin on the parade route, before being stopped by armed police. two people were arrested, and thankfully there were no injuries. well after all the drama the chiefs celebrated their first super bowl win since 19—69, taking an open top bus parade through the city, before holding a victory rally at union station. the chiefs defeated the san francisco 49ers 31—20 on sunday after they came back

from 20—10 down scoring 21 unanswered points in the final quarter led by mvp patrick mahomes..... that's all from sportsday. enjoy the rest of your evening. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political commentator & former conservative party press chief, giles kenningham and political writer & academic, maya goodfellow. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.

is the headline dominating the front of the sun. they say town halls have been ordered by the government to raise the unionjack in honour of ‘scandal—hit‘ prince andrews birthday asa as a but expect making a lot of headlines as a quest for acquittal and president trump and the child. the guardian has a picture of him looking very serious. he looks a bit late but of course he wasn't think. he isa late but of course he wasn't think. he is a teflon chance that he once again its demise. i put the money on the fact that he is going to win again another number. now it has really wiped out how to attack him. kratz there is what happens in the election here. the democrats are letting laughed looking for a quite ha rd to defeat letting laughed looking for a quite hard to defeat him. the backdrop of what is happening in the d economy is doing well, he had a good set of cards to play. a smart body is on

hand walking back for a second term. he has defied political conviction that we are in a world where presidents are being broken up day by day. send accents when it's not that surprising. it's been a very good at week for ila. in the pages title lies. as predicted in what democrats are saying we knew it was not going to bed their way. we needed a two thirds majority and it was never going to happen. so it is not great for the day kratz telling him the election but is also not surprising. what are started happening when they were saying we have to do this because it is the right thing today. one of the interesting things i thought that has come up, the mitt romney is the first senator and history to vote to re move first senator and history to vote to remove the president of the party that he has part of. i did not think it is an inconsequential thing it is

incredibly interesting. we read much that has been in the uk politics but is happening here in time that is very different. we see what happens in terms of the democrats primaries who's going to pick up support. it is not clear what has happened because it does mess in our life. not clear and he will be transferred. we'll have to wait and see. he last for democrats. he had been at following apart beached they we re been at following apart beached they were focused on his record. he had not focus on his record, they have done when they say they had plenty of time to do that this is a much more monumental is now play straight into the thompson campaign. i tried to say here. meantime they focus on the policy. but not backed up now they have much to say. i think they have completely screwed up here. they protect this was going to

happen from the start saying you can't impeach him. that is exactly how it has played out. what do you make out about the playbook to lend the stated beginning to nancy pelosi think they are not going to engage, and she was now the true of it thanks she said. i agreed to an extent that it is a risk in terms of playing into a narrative he wants. what he wanted to say. i also think they are quite a way out. what the polling suggested that a crack and republicans alike don't really answer engaged in interesting times of peace and process. some people tried to set up a a narrative that he wants to start. it is not happy democrats positioned themselves. what are the things that was learned from the last us election, it is partly being learned from some of the things that have happened to countries in europe, it is actually onlyjust going after the

politician. only just going
