women come, children come, people of every different race, colour, background, sexual orientation feel more welcome in the stadiums, that is what we had to work towards here in italy. so i think stadium development is a very important part but there are many other things that we can do and we are beginning to do here in italy to address the problem. what are you trying to achieve at the club? we have set out achieve at the club? we have set out a vision for a new, progressive, modern, young malan team playing ultimately in the most beautiful stadium in the world. in reestablishing itself both in the domestic game but also again in the international game. —— young milan. the team is transformed, we have to get a scheme in top—flight teams, we are unbeaten in the week since march, and this team is performing very well and what is an extremely competitive league.

life support. no more so than at the world at darts championships which sta rts world at darts championships which starts today, creates a print atmosphere but these are unusual times and we have to do the bestjob we can. indeed so and what sort of financial impact you think this will have on the organisation as a whole? everything is a disaster in life sport, isn't it? as the organisation fortu nately, sport, isn't it? as the organisation fortunately, i don't take all the credit but mostly i do, the organisation is brilliantly run. 0ver organisation is brilliantly run. over the years we have always safeguarded the players, always made sure that we are a legitimate, credible, transparent business that has sufficient funds to titus overthrew dark days. these are very dark days was attached to tide us over. we have had to put a few bob away for rainy day but it is pouring rain at the month but we are in no danger. we have four she continued oui’

danger. we have four she continued ourfull danger. we have four she continued our full calendar events or whether it isa our full calendar events or whether it is a snooker, darts, boxing, and we have not cut 1p off of prize money because we are in a position where we can afford to pay our way. for us, it is a kick and a sore spot if you like, but that is life. we can't ignore, we just if you like, but that is life. we can't ignore, wejust had if you like, but that is life. we can't ignore, we just had to get through it, so we carry on and push through it, so we carry on and push through and deliver. hearn, great to speak you, thanks for speaking to you. they returned their organiser of the world darts chamfer chip. britain's leading wheelchair tennis players are going head—to—head in a new team challenge at the national tennis centre. grand slam champions including alfie hewett, gordon reid, and jordanne whiley are competing in a three—day team competition. britain's number one, lucy shuker spoke to me earlier and told me how important the competition was for match practice. we find ourselves in such a strange times and we are struggling to get much competition. so by having this kind of event is fantastic. we are

enjoying it, mixing around, i got to play earlier, and it is amazing to see how it is coming through. there will be covert restrictions, we can see you wearing your will be covert restrictions, we can see you wearing your mass. will be covert restrictions, we can see you wearing your mass. what would those restrictions be and also whether be any fans watching you? we have not got fans. we have the rest of the team because we're split up into two teams and we have the rest of the programme here. it is different conditions to normal but i think we are making the most of the situation. some of us have not played competition for quite a few months. it's quite nice to get back ona months. it's quite nice to get back on a match court. i think this is probably a good time to explain the format of this competition for canned as well. all the world-class players in the programme, the lta created this competition so we have two teams. and we do not necessarily know who we are playing until the schedule has been done. but it is over three days and we are all mixing in and out and supporting

each other. we have the coach on court as well, so there is coaching allowed for yet everyone is embracing it. it's a great opportunity to do some competition. mick schumacher, the son of seven time formula one world champion michael schumacher, has spoken of his ambitions and his excitement at driving for haas next season. the newly crowned formula two champion made his debut in a formula one practice session last friday in abu dhabi. he's been speaking tojennie gow about his hopes for the future. it is not the best or biggest amount of money but i think that it is not holding us back from doing a good job next year. the team is so good and just bringing everybody together and just bringing everybody together and trying to create strength, the maximum out of everybody. and on top of that with me, i think we are going to be a good combination. i am really excited and look forward to it. just really keen on starting to

work with them now. talk to me little bit if you can about the moment you handed over yourfather‘s helmet douglas hamilton because that was a very emotional moment. my dad would done it himself and i will ta ke would done it himself and i will take us apart for now. and hopefully one day, who knows happens in the future, he will hand me his helmet 01’ future, he will hand me his helmet ori future, he will hand me his helmet or i don't know, just fun thinking. it was a nice moment and gesture from ourfamily it was a nice moment and gesture from our family to it was a nice moment and gesture from ourfamily to him and wejust showed every respect to what he has achieved. a lot of people think while he is only informally won because of his father but how do you counter that argument?” because of his father but how do you counter that argument? i am the one driving the car, and is not my name driving the car, and is not my name driving me. the name does open a lot of doors, it does open a lot of contacts but at the end, none of those people are bracing for me and i'm doing this because i want to do this, i'm doing this because i love the sport, the adrenaline, the feeling of driving fast and coming out on top at the end. i don't have any problem with being compared because i know why i'm doing it.

what are your expectations when it comes to being in formula 1, what you want to achieve for your self?” wa nt to you want to achieve for your self?” want to go far in this sport and i wa nt to want to go far in this sport and i want to put my footsteps same as my dad wanted to. i am short nobody goes into this sport and says i'm going to win everything and i'm going to win everything and i'm going to win everything and i'm going to be seven time world champion. it's something you cannot say. it is obviously a dream that you want to achieve but you can't say this is what is going to happen because there is so many things in this sport that can happen which you have to be ready for and to be honest i am just grateful to be in it and be able to set my first foot marks, do my first races, and see where the path leads me. if it does happen to be a very successful one, then i will be over the mode. and if it doesn't, well i still managed to get into form and do what i enjoy the most. so in any case, i'm very happy to be here. very much looking forward to

watching mick shoemaker next season. at molineux at half—time it is still 0-0 at molineux at half—time it is still 0—0 between wolves and chelsea. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. —— shumacker. you are watching bbc news with me ben brown. there is mounting pressure this evening on the government to cancel the vaccination of coronavirus restrictions over the christmas period. has joined two of the country my site medicaljournals in warning about the dangers of easing measuresjust in warning about the dangers of easing measures just when case numbers in many parts of the uk are increasing rapidly. it would earlier i spoke to annette gardner who spoke 17 days in intensive care in april with coronavirus. she slain how the illness is continuing to affect her health and how she has lost several family members because of the virus wasn't —— she explained.

what happened was my sister went into our parents who were not very well, called an ambulance because my mum was collapsed and my dad was not breathing very well upstairs. they were taken to hospital. my sister and i were then told to isolate at mum and dads house and five days later, my sister and i were both ta ken into hospital. and the next day, my dad died. and on the friday, the day after that, we was told that my mum was dying as well and we had to say goodbye to her on the phone. and i think two of your father's brothers have also lost their lives? my dad is one of four, and three of the boys have now died. it's an unbelievable toll it has taken on your family. but just talk about you and your experience with covid. i went into hospital, i was coughing, i got a high temperature, i was tachycardic.

i went in on the wednesday night and by the friday they said i was positive so i went on the covid ward and a few days after that i ended up in intensive care. so the first thing i remember is when they woke me up and took me off the ventilator and said that i had been on the ventilator for 1h days and then i was put in a big mask with oxygen and i was on that for another four days before eventually i came onto a normal ward after that. it was really bad. and what about your symptoms now? because i mentioned long covid, it is very common amongst people who have had the disease. what are your symptoms now? i am very breathless still. my lungs are damaged and also my liverfunction is not quite right. i just get very tired, i had a bad back so i have had

to have physio on my back because as they were turning me in intensive care, my back got a little bit damaged but that is getting better. but i'm still not at work, i couldn't manage to do my normal work so i'm off until at least the end of february. but i don't know how long it's going to be until i can feel better. and tell us everybody is talking about christmas plans at the moment and whether we can have a normal christmas or anything like a normal christmas. what are your christmas plans at the end of this absolutely ghastly year for you and your family? i'm going to spend christmas eve and a bit of christmas day with my son first and then i'm going to spend christmas day with my daughter and my other grandson. so i'm shared a bit between the two children because other than my daughter because i live on my own, my daughter has been my bubble. i will see my son and his family on christmas eve and christmas day. and it will be different because we used to spend christmas as a whole family with my mum

and dad as well, so it will be a very sad christmas. it is indeed but how important is it to you that you have that christmas, you have that time with loved ones? because the government as i mentioned is under pressure to maybe have a rethink on that relaxation over christmas? i think it's very important. i need to have the contact with the children. they have found it very hard, they have had to say goodbye to me a couple of times when i was in intensive care. they have been through so much. so, for us as a family, we are going to be separate and not together but at least i get to see the grandchildren and spent and give each of the support really because it is going to be a difficult time. and you have suffered so much this year. what is your message to people who don't always follow the guidelines or the restrictions on coronavirus, what do you say to them when you have suffered yourself so badly physically but also lost so many members of your family? ijust say please be careful,

just follow the guidelines. be sensible because at the end of the day, i could have died. i'm very lucky to be here, but the actually going through covid and how you feel and all the emotion behind it is not nice and i wouldn't wish it on anybody. good evening. we've got more wind and rain in the forecast through the rest of this week, so it's an unsettled outlook, certainly. through the course of tonight with got a weather front moving in bringing wet and windy weather particularly towards the west. further east, things are set to stay mostly dry through the course of tonight. so here is this area of rain. it's heading across parts of the southwest of england and wales, into southwest scotland, northern ireland as well. should be dry for northern and eastern scotland, and much of the eastern england through the courts of tonight. it's here that the temperatures will fall lowest. milder where you've got the wind and that rain in the west can be quite heavy at times. the wind gusts the real feature of the weather for the day

as this area of rain slowly moves its way eastwards. east anglia and the southeast largely dry for much of the day, and there will be some sunshine following on from the rest later on with further scattered showers. gusts reaching around 60 mph through exposed parts of the irish sea, 30 mph further east. so wherever you are, blustery conditions and temperatures between around 9—11 degrees. bye for now.
