year it was pretty well conclusive, in my opinion, since the nothings been done for top study should definitely continue. because they need to know what effect it might be having on the younger players coming through now. but more importantly, right now today or tomorrow whenever, immediately they should be putting something in place to take ca re of putting something in place to take care of these ex—players who suffered because of their careers. the pandemic has had a massive impact on all sport, but today, the culture secretary oliver dowden focused on football and the joint response in england to covid 19. the professional game is losing around £100million —a—month, it was one of the issues discussed in a virtual meeting. the return of fans was on the agenda, as well as diversity at the top level and the development of the women's game. our sports news correspondent laura scott has been across this story and joins us now. many of our viewers will want to know what was said about the potential return of fans? exactly. it wasn't so much what was

said at the virtual is some of that which is caught fans attention but what was said in a meeting that borisjohnson what was said in a meeting that boris johnson held what was said in a meeting that borisjohnson held yesterday what was said in a meeting that boris johnson held yesterday was senior and mps from the north. there was specifically conservative mps. he indicated in that meeting that it was one of his personal priorities to see fans return to sport as soon as possible. off the back of that oui’ as possible. off the back of that our understanding is that officials from the digital culture media sport have been exploring a range of possibilities and what might be possible when the national lockdown ends. one of those possibilities is that we could see different rules for different areas of the country. and the fans could return to stadia in areas where there are eight low infection rate. and possibly as early as next month perhaps even before christmas. today on the virtual summit the matter of the return of bands to come up because aside from a few pilot events which happened successful the turnstiles have been shut since march. and football supporters association

summarise their view this evening when they said fans need football and football needs fans. we've talked many times about clubs being in financial trouble, what's the latest on a bailout? it wasn't so much spoken about in the summit in detail because there was such a broad range of stakeholders there. what is clear is that the government wants to see this deal reached. because the negotiations have been going on for months now, there is pressure on both the primarily to get this sorted. but our understanding is that some clubs still see the date on the table as too late for them to sign up to and want to see the finer details was out there has definitely been signs of progress over the last week. both the primarily and the afl saying they are keen to progresses and press on with these negotiations. we could see it done within the next couple of weeks. certainly nothing signed as of yet.

the doll last in straight sets in a very exciting jewel against the austrian in the group stages of the finals in london. watching on. austrian in the group stages of the finals in london. watching onm was an absolute classic. what a treat that was. yeah, it was amazing. to form playersjust plain toe to toe from the back of the court. the power, the consistency of the heading, ithink court. the power, the consistency of the heading, i think there were about 65 winners combined from both guys into sets. such fine margins. they both had their opportunities but it was team who is able to come out on top. i had his chances he was a break—up served in the 2nd. out on top. i had his chances he was a break-up served in the 2nd. that's right. he had those chances. he was five —— right. he had those chances. he was five — — two right. he had those chances. he was five —— two on service of the double regular tie—break but couldn't close it out. with his competitive spirit you knew he would create opportunities. he did get that breaker served in the second set. but then it was team that responded extremely well he broke back had

love 40 on rough out in the no doubt 15 points in a row. it wasjust love 40 on rough out in the no doubt 15 points in a row. it was just the consistent quality, it was so difficult to know who was going to come out on top. i think again with the confidence that the team has really built in the big matches this year, getting the us open title under his belt, he now has belief in these biggest matches against the best players. huge congratulations to him. he's got so much pace now, has any? he was on the back foot on the lot of those rallies. has any? he was on the back foot on the lot of those rallieslj has any? he was on the back foot on the lot of those rallies. i think two. the biggest hitters and i think in these conditions it seemed that hits the ball a little bit flatter. he probably gets a little more speed through the court. i don't think rappa should be too disappointed. he's playing great tennis was up a course in the round robin that could be the final. still and with a chance. it's a must went mad for those guys to keep alive in this event. different performances and their first match. i thinks it's a pass to play well but team was too strong for him. difficult to start off against rough at

strong for him. difficult to start off against rough et al., and he'll be to respond and take off advantage of the round robin. he got another opportunity but i thinks it's a pass at the favour there. i agree. we will be back tomorrow. two o'clock on bbc two. it's probably still sinking in fort lewis hamilton that he has won a seven formula i world championship title. hamilton has putting just as much energy into his work off the circuit as he has on it. as the sports only black driver he wants to continually push for equality. we were always the only black family on the scene. honestly i thought by the time i get a film fleet not formula ijust me being there would break down barriers, open up doors and encourage it to be a more divorce submit diverse sport. i realise after 14 years at that has barely shifted. i tried to speak about in the past. there was always a bit of pushback and it wasn't the easiest

thing to speak about. i think particularly this year with the black lives matter movement been an awakening and an opportunity to use your voice. ifelt such awakening and an opportunity to use your voice. i felt such a responsibility to my niece and nephew who are biracial, to all the young kids particularly the black and minorities out there that potentially feel they don't have a voice. i have got to use this platform to help encourage. no one is doing the homework to find out why our sport is not diverse. i put together a commission to really try and find out what the barriers are. lewis hamilton speaking to cbs in america. more details on that story and all of our stories on the bbc website. all of our stories on the bbc website. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. you're watching bbc news. the bbc

understands that the informal labour leaderjeremy corbyn is to be readmitted to the labour party. he follows his suspension for downplaying a report into the parties head telling of anti—semitism. mr corbin originally suggested that the scale of the problem had been overstated by political opponents but earlier today on facebook he sought to clarify his remarks saying the concerns about anti—semitism were neither exaggerated or overstated. and that he had not intended to be little those problems. we can get the very latest from our political correspondent who is at west minister now. following that clarification earlier on, was it inevitable that he would be reinstated as a party member?” think it was inevitable not necessarily because of the statement but because people at the top of the party did not want this to become a kind of running sore. certainly to the left of the party were gearing up the left of the party were gearing upfora campaign

the left of the party were gearing up for a campaign to try and get jeremy corbyn reinstated. i think discussions were held behind the scenes before a disciplinary party ruling met this afternoon. certainly possible that they could have reached a different conclusion. some people are even on the left of the party have been pressing for him to apologise for his earlier comments. he didn't do that but he did do is issue a clarification. that clarification went along these lines, initially had said that the problem had been dramatically overstated by political opponents. it was that phrase which got him suspended from the labour party. sir keir starmer the current leader suggested that those that said the problem was exaggerated was part of the problem itself he supported that the problem itself he supported that the clarification said that concerns about anti—semitism were it not exaggerated. they were not overstated and mr corbin said he wasn't try to belittle those concerns. so he simply explained

that he believed the vast majority of labour party members were deeply opposed to anti—semitism. that's what he was trying to communicate at the time. it looks as though that clarification has helped them get reinstated. he was also reminded of labours values. but there will be people who believe that further sanctions should been taken against jeremy corbyn given that he presided over that period of labours history where complaints about how anti—semitism was handled in the party. a tickly controversial and that report that you mentioned from the human rights commission was described as a day of shame by the current labour leader sir keir starmer. tonight certainly the jewish labour movement who had complained to the party about his handling of anti—semitism said today's decision will simply embolden people who agree with jeremy corbyn and denounce the fact that they hadn't apologises up in the british board, the board of

deputy eight deputies commented today they were talking about a lack of leadership and they said his clarification was a pathetic non—apology. sir keir starmer really wa nt to non—apology. sir keir starmer really want to try a line under this toxic. in labours recent past. he still hasn't succeeded. i suppose just looking at keir starmer is a point of view he has been able to look pretty toss in this episode with the suspension ofjeremy corbyn. as you say, he's avoided a running battle on it with the hard left. that's right. basically keir starmer said two things following the suspension ofjeremy corbyn. firstly that he supported it because he did not agree that the problem had been exaggerated for stop he also made it clear that he was not interested in punching the left of the party. a campaign that was already under way with petitions and debates against party rules and party lines at local

level. atjeremy corbyn suspension. also been criticism from leaders who provide funds for the labour party that had the action taken against jeremy corbyn. i think it was always inevitable that they would try to reach some kind of arrangement that he wasn't suspended and longer—term. i understand that his disciplinary hearing was actually under the swifter procedures with the himself had introduced as labour leader. some people have been criticising the swiftness of his readmission to the swiftness of his readmission to the labour party and the fact that he seemed to get a bit of a wrap and the knuckle is an art reminder of the knuckle is an art reminder of the labours values. perhaps some further sanction or trading. it looks as though in a sense that keir starmer couldn't quite win because the minutejeremy corbyn was suspended he was going to be criticised from the left. the minute he's reinstated he is others including people in thejewish movement are going to say he hasn't been tough enough. ian, good to talk to you and bringing us up to date
