the reimposition of a border on the island of ireland. the prime minister publishes an open letter to parents, saying he's "in awe" of the way they're coping with home schooling. confusion over coronavirus rules in maternity wards. midwives warn a lack of clarity means some staff are being abused. now on bbc news, it's time for sportsday. hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday. a good result at goodison for newcastle and relief for steve bruce after such a long wait for a win the chiefs are also back in the winning groove, but worcester pushed them close

and the euros gamble, we catch up with the fans who have had to decide what to do with their tickets for the summer tournament good evening. so many good stories in the premier league today. we'll show you how manchester city stretched their lead at the top in just a moment, but we'll start at goodison park where steve bruce's newcastle got a much—needed win, their first in seven weeks. callum wilson scored both goals in a 2—0 win. nick parrott reports. steve bruce had never won a premier league game in 11 visits to goodison park as manager so he will not forget this feeling. newcastle had lost the last five games and something had to change. graham jones joined the coaching

staff from bournemouth this week and there systems were tweaked. it succeeded in frustrating everton. it was midway through the first half before they could muster a shot on target. but newcastle looked more like scoring, testing jordan pickford. both teams�* top scorers were on a barren run coming into this match. everton�*s chances spurned. newcastle were guilty until they ended the seven—week drought in style. as they pushed for an equaliser, they left gaps at the back. on another day, wilson might have scored a hat—trick. but he was clearly happy with securing the victory with a second in injury time. i couldn't fault how the team played, the game plan, how we went about it was terrific. it has been a difficult few weeks. one thing that breathes a bit of confidence is a good team performance. all round today was excellent. despite winning, newcastle

are 16th in the table. they hope this will kick—start a climb from the relegation zone. it was 19th against 18th as west bromwich albion and fulham met at the hawthornes. a 2—2 draw doesn't really help either side as they look to get out of the relegation zone. it was a good game though, this was live on bbc one this afternoon. the baggies were trailing at half—time but turned it around and went 2—1 up through matheus pereira scored. but fulham, who are something of the draw specialists in the premier league, found an equaliser through two of their substitutes, a harrison reed cross headed in by ivan cavaleiro. manchester city extended their lead at the top of the table, for the time being at least, with victory of bottom side sheffield united. it wasn't as one sided though as the league positions

might suggest though — only one goal sperating the sides. good work from ferran torres setting up gabrieljesus. they are too deep at points clear. from my point of view, committee manager said it and there are 30 managers scratching their head and i'm scratching my head at the position we are in. we i'm scratching my head at the position we are in.— i'm scratching my head at the position we are in. we have a belief and a fi . ht position we are in. we have a belief and a fight and _ position we are in. we have a belief and a fight and togetherness - position we are in. we have a belief and a fight and togetherness that l and a fight and togetherness that hopefully we can pick up some wins between now and the end of the season and make it a little bit uncomfortable for the teams above us. one other result so far in the premier league and crystal palace have their first win in five. it came against a wolves side that haven't won in eight now. eberechi eze scored the only goal of the game on the hour mark. it's his third goal of the season sincejoining from qpr. arsenal are playing manchester united right now, they are into the second half at the emirates.

no goals yet at the emirates. it's an 8 o'clock kick—off between southampton and aston villa. big uspet in the scottish premiership, st mirren winning at the champions celtic for the first time in 31 years. ilkay durmas with the winner as they won 2—1. rangers have the weekend off and their lead remains 23 points over celtic who now have two games in hand. elsewhere, there were away wins for hibs and stjohnstone. third—placed aberdeen drew 0—0 at livingstone. there was just the one game in the women's super league. bristol city are still bottom of the table but they have their first win. 3—0 against brighton. they took the lead with a long—range effort from yana daniels. ebony salmon also scored before the break and added a second from the spot. brighton had kayleigh green sent off on the hour mark, but bristol fully

deserved the win and are nowjust two points from safety. in rugby union, european club competition has been frozen for the past two weekends, but the premiership is back in the swing. champions exeter got themselves a much needed win, 21—17 at worcester and gloucester pushed northampton close but could only come away with a losing bonus point. that finished 31—26 to saints, ben croucher reports. the waiting was finally over after a rare pause, things were tightly packed and again. having lost the latter, the brake seem to do extra good. a gray putting them ahead of worcester and they were under there. stuart hogg was best on the back wing, a move started by him finished by ian whitten and when devoto broke through to score a third try commencing the champions were on third form, but the attacker was brought back to earth. short—handed,

logic suggested plate say. when all woodburn tried to call his weight of trouble, junk weir was waiting. the deficit was just four. —— duncan weir. clinging onto the win and climbing to second. gloucester can only dream of these heights now, picking up where they left off, much to northampton�*s benefit. but a returning heinz means... gloucester are kept ahead. 12 minutes in three tries later, the game was up. there is a and sean eldon dorothy crossed twice in a 31 — 26 when without a premiership win since november, they everything again, but for some, the waiting goes on. we also have some pro 1a games. we will bring you the details and are 7:45pm sports day. let's have a quick look at some

trained today after being rested for the recent series in sri lanka. with most of the players in quarantine until tuesday, freshening up the squad has become more important. the ecb have been a really forward thinking, ifeel, for us as the ecb have been a really forward thinking, i feel, for us as an england group to rotate players in and out of this series and i'm sure times there are frustrations because you want to see the best players on show all the time, but it is just not possible with the amount of cricket and the amount of time spent in bubbles to keep people healthy doing that. it's the world championships this weekend in the sport of cyclo—cross, it's one of the most physically demanding forms of racing on a moutain bike. today was the women's elite race on the belgian coast of flanders where riders have to negotiate the beaches, the hill climbs and the mud. it was dominated by the dutch riders, with a 1—2—3 for the netherlands and lucinda brand taking gold and the world title.

there are british hopes in the men's race tomorrow. you'll also be able to watch on the bbc sport website. tom pidcock is a junior road race champion but enjoys the differnet challenge of cyclo—cross as he looks to make his name across all forms of the sport. you write off road on grass, sand, mud and then you also have hurdles and bridges and steps. when you describe it like that, it sounds weird, but it is good fun to watch. it is not my favourite discipline, but i'm not afraid to say that. i want to be rodwell champion, i want to be in the tour de france. i want to be in the tour de france. i want to be in the tour de france. i want to be a household name —— a road world champion. i want them to say, i'm the best, that kind of what i want to achieve.—
