spoken to the of the game. i have spoken to the india camp. they do not intend to put up any kind of complaint about that incident. so as far as they are concerned, it stays there. just something that will follow steve smith around and be a big talking point i think particularly on social media. golf's governing bodies on both sides of the atlantic have moved to distance themselves from the us president donald trump. the pga of america voted to move the us pga championship in 2022 from the trump national course in bedminster. following on from that announcement, the r&a have said that turnberry will not stage the open championship until they are "convinced that the focus will be on the event" and not the owner. ben croucher has this report. it is an age old argument that sports and politics should not mix. often a source of conflict in a really inseparable but not when it comes to donald trump and golf with widespread condemnation of the

events in washington last wednesday, those running the sport in the us feel hosting the pga to bishop at one of his courses is wrong. it's become clear that conducting a pga championship at trump bedminster would be a detriment to the pt eight brand and it would put us at risk on oui’ brand and it would put us at risk on our ability to put on many programmes and sustain the mission. he cannot tweet his reactions these days but a statement from his organisation said they were incredibly disappointed and is a breach of a binding contract and they have no right to terminate the agreement. in another blow, the governing body in the uk issued its strongest statement yet to his other major course at turnberry would not host the british open —— the open chevy ship in the near future. host the british open —— the open chevy ship in the nearfuture. they would draw away focus from the players in the chapin ship. they have not hosted the men's open since 2009 but his behaviour because controversy at the women's tournament six years later. there

we re tournament six years later. there were fears if the open went to turnberry it will be out of control of the rna actively because of political protests being so huge. trump himself at the 2015 women's open, he was so out of control that the r&a would be tried for any comment about a repeat. comments about illegal immigration also led to the 2015 pga to bishop of golf be moved from trump national los angeles and the women's us open was held at bedminster, his historical views women drew criticism as well. this is something that will take away from focusing on the players that we because it is going to be a huge part of the discussion that it is his course and what that means. and it's becoming a very political issue that i know a lot of players wish it would not have become. sport and politics would never be able to be truly separate. golf though is proving it can distance himself from donald trump.

well, let's head to the usa to get more reaction from this decision. cindy borenjoins us from the washington post. lovely to have you with us, sandy. when you think of the relationship between golf and trump in the usa, did this feel like a big statement? it's a huge statement. against donald trump in several org —— important areas to him. hits him in his heart. he plays golf all the time as everyone has noticed. he could use the money. his courses are not especially profitable right now after his presidency. he needs his courses to turn a profit. and it hits him on branding. this is business saying you are toxic. we don't want anything to do with the trump name and the trump name is all over all of these courses. and it is both american and uk officials saying this. and then when you

mention the branding and the terms around it, we have seen the statement from trump or get saying there is a contract there. what sort of fallout are we going to see play out here? anyone who has had any business dealings with donald trump knows that there is generally a lawsuit involved it somewhere. so i will be willing to wager that there will be willing to wager that there will be willing to wager that there will be a lawsuit by the trump organisation about this. i'm not sure he will have much standing but they will probably take it to court. it and then when you look at particular legal last week and the changing attitudes potentially on different sides of the political spectrum in the usa, what do you think this will do in general to the news in the usa? i think that probably afterjoe biden is sworn in as president, it will die down again

as president, it will die down again a bit. social media organisations have already taken away the president's microphone. i think it probably won't really come back as an issue. i think that the president might try to make it one, but i think it probably is dying down and the bottom line is money and the golf organisations knew they were going to be hit hard and it'sjust not worth it to be in business with the president. and then finally before we let you go, this is golf in particular but i wonder across the senses in sport in terms of the usa, how have things shifted over the last week? you have seen protest. you have seen athletes speaking out as they have all summer since the george floyd killing. it is not quite as vocal as it was. i think people are still in shock a little bit and i think we are also beginning to learnjust little bit and i think we are also beginning to learn just how close this came to being a real major catastrophe. i think the details are

still emerging. really appreciate your time. journalist with the washington postjoining us. your time. journalist with the washington post joining us. thanks. now, here on sportsday, we've been keeping a close eye on the sailor pip hare, who's racing single—handedly non—stop around the world in the vendee globe. this past week, she almost had to retire. one of her rudders broke in the middle of the southern ocean, but remarkably she fixed it in a break between gales. she says she's drained, utterly exhausted, but still fighting. this is from james burridge. it had all been going so well for pip hare, the leading british sailor in the vendee globe. then in the middle of the southern ocean, in treacherous seas, a serious problem. two hours ago, just did a routine check of the boat and i discovered that the port router stock was cracked. and i'm at now far off

losing the rudderfrom cracked. and i'm at now far off losing the rudder from the cracked. and i'm at now far off losing the rudderfrom the port side. so myjob now, racing is suspended. i am... i am devastated. but these things happen. it happens. and i cannot change that. all i can do is find a solution. what happened next was extraordinary. in a big swell during a gap between gales, pip hare summoned the strength to change the routers, a job that would normally take for people. after chatting through her task with her tea m chatting through her task with her team back home, she completed it on her own and an hour and a half.|j think is probably the hardestjob you can do without retiring from the race. so it's right up there and operations and repairs that you can do and still be in the race. if we do and still be in the race. if we do it, we change the rudder on

lincoln that we use scissor lifts and probably for people and that's in perfect conditions and when she did it it was snowing and she still had 15-18 did it it was snowing and she still had 15—18 knots of freezing cold wind. there is ac state. everything is slippery, her hands are numb, everything is wet. it really could not be a harderjob it really. everything is wet. it really could not be a harderjob it reallym everything is wet. it really could not be a harderjob it really. it is difficult selling at the moment. it is difficult conditions. today is super its quality and in the squalls we have had horizontal snow. and braced for another week of really challenging sailing. and it is tough but i am living my dream. so i'm still going to throw everything i have added and at some point the sun will come out. the last few days have understandably ta ken will come out. the last few days have understandably taken a huge physical and mental toll. but pip

hare is made of tough stuff. she is still sailing, still fighting and heading towards cape horn. she is amazing. pip hare on her journey. non—league chorley and league two giant—killers crawley town will find out their next fa cup opponents in a double draw for the fourth and fifth rounds this evening live on bbc two, iplayer and the bbc sport website from 7pm. crawley stunned leeds united 3—0, with nick tsaroulla among the goal—scorers. he's got quite a tale to tell and has been speaking to newsbeat‘s betty glover. he has involved in a serious car crash including other problems. it is almost like your life flashes before you would on the pain that you go through, especially the last few years, sort of really hit me. it was him up like a relief. it was

like wow what have ijust done? was him up like a relief. it was like wow what have i just done? did you get told that you would not be able to play football again? there we re able to play football again? there were some doctors who said they were totally unsure of the injury full submitted not know how long it would last or if it would ever go away. i mean it was a lot of sleepless nights because of the pain. i could not run for longer than like 5—10 minutes without being in agony. so it was a very dark and difficult time. especially i've been playing football since i was six years old and is all i ever wanted to do and it was taken away from me. and it was very hard to deal with. so that's why i just feel very was very hard to deal with. so that's why ijust feel very blessed to be able to be on the football pitch and do what i love doing. well done to him there. that draw for the fa cup fourth and fifth row will be on bbc two, the iplayerfrom

seven p: m. . that's all from sportsday. stay right up to date with all the latest breaking news on the bbc sport website and latest news in terms of the impact on sport with coronavirus is that the european cup competitions and rugby, the champions cup and challenge cup, have been suspended. the french authorities not wanting their clubs to ta ke authorities not wanting their clubs to take part for the moment. more on the breaking story on the website. and from me and the rest of the sports a team, we will have lots more throughout the evening. enjoy it. bye—bye. good evening. last week's bitter cold has been replaced for the start of this week with something a little milder. quite a lot of cloud around today, as you can see by this weather watcher picture from cambridge, but those temperatures held up for many around eight, nine, ten degrees.

and that said, we had some colder air into the far north east. it brought some snow and some rain into scotland, particularly out to the west. now, this weather front here is the dividing line between that colder air pushing across from the north and moving that milder air further south. so, as we go through the night—time, we'll have clearing skies across scotland and northern england. a blanket of cloud and rain sits across england and wales primarily, and here it will stay mild, 8—9 degrees. but with clearer skies, temperatures falling below freezing, icy stretches could be an issue first thing. there could also be a few wintry showers as well, but primarily dry with some sunshine through scotland, northern ireland and northern england. our weather front continues to linger across the far south west, but here it will stay rather drab, but on the mild side. 10—11 degrees can't be ruled out. further north, it's a cool afternoon, 4—5 at the very best. now, this contrast with the feel of the weather is set to continue through the middle of the week, and it will turn the weather

story a little tricky. because this triangle here is the dividing line between this milder air. we've got this south—westerly flow, and as that continues to bump into the cold air sitting across the eastern half of the uk, on the leading edge, we'll see some sleet and snow. primarily to higher ground, but at this stage, we can't rule out that there could be some sleet and snow at lower levels. it will turn back readily to rain through the middle part of the afternoon as the milder air kicks in, but look how cold it is further north and east. and through the night, those temperatures are set to fall away again, so we could have a wintry mix through wednesday night into the early hours of thursday morning. eventually we expect that milder story to take over, but it's certainly worth keeping abreast of the forecast through wednesday and thursday, particularly across the north and east of the country. on the whole, thursday will turn milder and stay on the wet side. by friday, cloudy and cooler once again.

hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. donald trump has been accused of inciting an insurrection in an article of impeachment filed in washington. president electjoe biden says he's discussed impeachment proceedings with senators. democrats have also put forward a resolution demanding that vice—president pence strip mr trump of his powers. the person that's running the executive branch is a deranged, unhinged, dangerous president of the united states. outside the us capitol, security has been tightened after trump supporters invaded the building last week. in the uk, england's chief medical officer has warned that the next few weeks will be the "most dangerous time" of the pandemic as the government continues to ramp up covid vaccinations across the country. and in indonesia, a huge underwater search operation is taking place to try to retrieve the flight
