of the year and he came into it in pretty good couple weeks ago, very good right at the world championships last weekend and so we came in with high hopes, so to lose at this point is still huge. not a career ending injury by any means, both younger writers coming through this departure, what is next for him? i would assume that is the end of his 2020 suite. next year, he may be able to do the tour de france and he will be at the olympics. he certainly in the olympic cycle of his career. one of the things you see in this year is that is a very good young writer and anyone in that position who does not get a good result in the year start, the contract after that. it could make

life difficult for him to the next 24 life difficult for him to the next 2a months. life difficult for him to the next 24 months. being forced back to the drawing board once again, the second time, losing it at such an early stage too. they lost their leader the tour de france and they've come to the sick and grantor of the year in three stages and they've lost a leader there, so, the team to receive the past few seasons commending these events, is now going hunting for stage wins or whatever they can get. not a team like us that have a big budget, level of strong writers and its number they need. officials needed to examine the photo finish to decide who won. eventually arnaud demare on the right of the picture was given the victory, ahead of peter sagan and davide ballerini. portugal'sjoao almeida retained the overall lead. to the french open then with some familiar names in action today.

but the focus is on one name you may not have heard of, argentina's nadia podoroska has made history by becoming the first qualifer to make it through to a grand slam semi final in over 20 years.. beating third seed elina svitolina in straight sets earlier.. britain's naomi broady has been part of the 5live commentary team today... and joins now.. it does leave this wide open. we talk about how wide—open it dispatch discussed show the extent that goes to and she is the first qualifier for 20 years i think it was stephenson in wimbledon, if she's doing her quarterfinal match later on this evening. which is remarkable because them could have a final with

the qualifier in the french open. looking ahead going two for two, still going against diego, still an interesting watch. such a fun match to watch. kids every ball back in the teams are really having to fight really ha rd the teams are really having to fight really hard out there and we must be getting tired by now i dread up in victory, but he's been on call for overfour victory, but he's been on call for over four hours and will see if he manages to get through at the moment. and, of course you still have profit —— roth failed to get through. the fourth set, the bidding on how late, roughly an adult could be postponed until tomorrow but we just have to wait and see the results. thank you so wait and see the results. thank you so much for your time. meanwhile, an investigation has begun into alleged match—fixing

in a french open women's doubles first—round match, the paris prosecutor's office has confirmed. officials began investigating at the start of the month after suspicions of "organised fraud" and "corruption in sports". the tennis integrity unit and international tennis federation have declined to comment. us soccer player kaiya mccullough was due to make her debut in the nwsl this season, but instead asked for her contract to be waived so she could pursue a career overseas. her reasons for wanting to leave — to escape covid and racism. jane dougall reports. i started kneeling for the national anthem and already very active in the black lives matter movement. she was just starting a rookie season for washington spirit when george floyd was killed. for her,

everything came to a head. it will make those reduced ray woke up —— days where i woke up crying and i would describe the rest of the day is distant in the cycle. i feel as ifi is distant in the cycle. i feel as if i cannot help anybody if i am not ina good if i cannot help anybody if i am not in a good place myself, mentally. she felt things are going going to get worse plus, she was trying to fearfor her get worse plus, she was trying to fear for her health because the rising coronavirus cases. she came to the conclusion that she can stay with washington or even america's. there has been a line drawn in the sand, especially with the election coming up and it is very tangible when you're in the states and especially as a black woman and sometimes it can be a bit nerve—racking and people just do not wear masks, do not social distance, do not take any precautions. it was really terrifying, especially as an

athlete. my career depends on my ability to run for 90 minutes and so covid—i9 is especially terrifying in that aspect because that could be in career ending injury. starting in her own protest so long ago, she felt exhausted emotionally.” felt exhausted emotionallylj thought felt exhausted emotionally.” thought that it was almost my duty to ta ke thought that it was almost my duty to take on the responsibility of educating teenage adults and inspire change and that can be really overwhelming especially trying to get your foot overwhelming especially trying to get yourfoot in overwhelming especially trying to get your foot in the league but you never played them before. i'll start to compartmentalize what was going on in the world and is focused on my sport and being a black woman, you can't do that. i can take off the colour of my skin. i can't turn off the feelings of grief that i feel as a morning with my communities. now moved tojoin in germany but in a

season moved tojoin in germany but in a season where she should be in the living her dream, she has felt like she is been forced to skip a nightmare. yesterday we told you about the fate of gunnarsaurus — arsenal's much loved team mascot.. who was sadly one of 55 redunancies announced at the club — after 27 years of service. well, today arsenal midfielder mesut ozil has offered to pay the salary ofjerry quy — the man behind gunnarsaurus, he posted this message on social media earlier — "i'm offering to reimburse arsenal with the full salary of our big green guy as long as i will be an arsenal player sojerry can continue hisjob that he loves so much." that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening.

the renowned british mathematician, professor sir roger penrose has been named as one of three recipients of this year's nobel prize for physics. sir roger's research into black holes has been recognised alongside the work of the american astronomer, andrea ghez and the german astrophysicist, reinhard genzel. earlier i spoke to sir roger about the achievement and began by asking him how he heard he had been given the award. you see, their messages that came in and they got dropped off and it was waiting between one message in the next. i did not know what was going on. idid next. i did not know what was going on. i did not know that it was the year of the nobel prize. so, i went toa year of the nobel prize. so, i went to a shower and the phone rang again and so, i had to come out and do...

yes, people always ask what we're doing at times, when you heard about the price. it's an amazing achievement and you had many amazing achievements in your life, but how does this rank? be a nobel prize winner? it's an honour. it is the prime one, of course. yes, there have been other impressive things the people have awarded me for blood, the nobel prize is very special and i am really honoured and i think it is a great privilege to be able to help someone. indirect consequence of the theory of relativity but this is a discovery made quite a long time ago, wasn't it? thousand 1964, yes. mathematical

piece of work, so i'm not sure if it goes into mathematics is such that it was for about a physical entity. i think the question was that although the model of the people had in mind wasjust although the model of the people had in mind was just before the war in 1939 when those two paid up paper that was of a general relativity, what happens if you have a cloud of dust and that collapses and those of the kind we call a black hole. but there was a very special in two respects, one was that it was called dust which means there is no pressure in the material, which actually works one way or the other. you can imagine if there is no pressure, there's nothing to stop it going in. and the other more important point was it was exactly spherically symmetrical. so, everything falls inwards towards the central point and there's nothing to

stop it and the fact that you can infinite density in the middle point, it is notjust a surprise. so, many people worry well, maybe if you had a bit of motivation where one way or the other instead of making this point of infant density, make it pretty dense. but that was an expectation i think many people had. at least, in the early 1964 and earlier. when quasars were observed, they were admitting a huge amount of energy and they were relatively small and so people did begin to wonder what would happen to a highly concentrated material, but then i think the idea was that they would switch out and there was also a paper at the time by two russians, and they had claimed and a general

case, you wouldn't get the singular states were things into infinity and crazy. so, they tried to argue that this was not a real thing to worry about. i do have a look at the paper andi about. i do have a look at the paper and i did not know that there was actually a mistake in the writing, which turned it around. i think it was discovered later. but, over time, ididn‘t was discovered later. but, over time, i didn't see mistake. all i saw was the type of argument they we re saw was the type of argument they were using and i didn't feel it was terribly convincing. and i needed to think about it all the fresh and that was where i began to talk about trying to imagine myself in a black hole and trying to work out with light rays did. is that when the moment of inspiration came to you? we are walking in the woods? that was more or less what i was formulating my general views on what

to do about it what kind of argument which you need in order to prove this or that. the sharp showers should ease between england and wales with some clearing skies and temperatures falling away as well. we keep some shares into the front of the scotla nd shares into the front of the scotland through the night followed bya scotland through the night followed by a brisk northwest wind and overnight lows between seven and 11 degrees, we stood up for his thing in the morning was showers continued in northwest scotland and they will linger throughout most of scotland, some sunshine around and should stay dry for many throughout the day. clouding with outbreaks of rain in south wales in southwest england, but in the sunshine, temperatures peaked 16 degrees, 61 fahrenheit. to the southwest, that brings a gear change to the story on wednesday night in the thursday. yet again, more heavy and persistent rain looks like across england and wales, may be skipping scotland, but it's going to bea be skipping scotland, but it's going to be a lot of wet whether the close
