for atletico madrid will stand. that's after fifa rejected the spanish club's appeal against the england defender�*s punishment for breaching betting rules. history has been made at the world indoor bowls championships open pairs final in norfolk. ellen falkner became the first woman to compete at this stage of the competition alongside greg harlow. they were taken to a tie break before losing to jamie chestney and mark dawes. the tennis world number one has prompted criticism from several of his peers after apparently sending a series of demands to the organisers of the australian open. novak djokovic has been told that he won't be given special treatment while he is one of 72 players having to quarantine in their hotel rooms. austin halewood has more. i think every player, to be honest,

arrived in australia under the impression that they would be a bit of a different tournament this year. it is important to put novak djokovic�*s comments into context. they all knew when they arrived in melbourne they would have to quarantine for iii days in their hotel. however, they did arrive under the condition that they would be allowed out for five hours each day to practice at proper facilities. but over the weekend, three of the specially chartered flights arrived in melbourne with a postive test onboard — and that's meant that all 72 players. the likes of victoria azarennka, kei nishikori, sloane stephens, and angelique kerber are now all forbidden to leave their rooms for two weeks. so it means we are going to be seeing plenty more of this over the next fortnight, with players training as best they can in their rooms. this was yulia putinseva hitting balls over her bed and against a wardrobe. now, plenty of the players aren't happy about this. australian bernard tomic and his girlfriend complained

about the conditions on social media, while world number—one novak djokovic has reportedly submitted a list of demands which have included less time in isolation and putting the players in private housing. but those demands have been firmly rejected by victorian premier daniel andrews. people are free to provide lists of demands, but the answer is no, and that was very clearly put, very clearly laid out beforehand, so the notion that there has been any change, the notion that people weren't briefed, i think that argument really has no integrity whatsoever and don't just take my word for it, you have got other players who i think in social media and on other forums have made it very clear that they were clear on the rules.

pretty much safe to say that was a flat note to the demands. considering what's going on, to you feel this should have gone on at all? , . , , ., ., all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis _ all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis at _ all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis at all. _ all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis at all. but _ all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis at all. but the - all? tennis fans will be grateful to watch tennis at all. but the 1200 l watch tennis at all. but the 1200 players, coaching staff being there at all has sparked lots of frustration with australians unable to return home due to the strict covid—i9 is tricked test restrictions in the country. well, the often controversial australian player nick kygrios — who has had a few gripes with djokovic over the years — has also had his say. he called him a "tool" on twitter and said that tomic�*s girlfriend has "no perspective". well, british wheelchair player gordon reid said everyone knew the risks before they came. there's a minority of the players who are — there's a minority of the players who are kind _ there's a minority of the players who are kind of— there's a minority of the players who are kind of kicking - there's a minority of the players who are kind of kicking up- there's a minority of the players who are kind of kicking up a - there's a minority of the players | who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a _ who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a lot— who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a lot of— who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a lot of times, _ who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a lot of times, that _ who are kind of kicking up a fuss. but a lot of times, that minority. but a lot of times, that minority are the — but a lot of times, that minority are the loudest _

for the atlantic, dutch athletic, and i asked her what this means for the leak. his team managed to hold on without him, now the big question is, will he be allowed to play? will he be cleared in time to play against the buffalo bills in the afc championship game next sunday? this is a major question in the test for the nfl's concussion protocols. we will learn more in the coming days about my home's concussion diagnosis. but we have to see how his body recovers and handles physical activity. the time limits pretty short. the game is sunday evening, there's not a tonne of time for him to get fully ready for this next game. for him to get fully ready for this next game-— next game. there's been a lot of discussion _ next game. there's been a lot of discussion about _ next game. there's been a lot of discussion about concussion - next game. there's been a lot of discussion about concussion in l discussion about concussion in britain very recently. can you outline the nfl's concussion protocol, please?— outline the nfl's concussion protocol, please? sure, the most imortant

temperature contrasts on wednesday, cold air becoming more widespread in scotland, still mild in england and wales. into wednesday night, our area of low pressure transfers to the north sea where it deepens. we get stronger northerly winds mixing in with that cold scottish air, and the rain turns to snow, even down to sea level. but the snow combined with strong winds, we are talking about blizzards and drifting. maybe some snow pushing in the parts of northern england and north wales as well. so we have disruptive weather on the way this week with heavy rain and flooding, may be severe flooding across parts of northern england and the midlands. as that clears through, the rain turns to heavy snow in parts of scotland wednesday night and into thursday, causing issues.
