threats or call for someone's death, thatis threats or call for someone's death, that is actually within the realms of abuse and harassment that is allowed by facebook. it wouldn't be allowed by facebook. it wouldn't be allowed for an ordinary member of the public but a public figure is treating differently online. and this coming from internal guidance thatis this coming from internal guidance that is been leaked to the guardian. i'm just so surprised. it's mad to think that a threat of violence would be allowed just because the person is in the public eye. and facebook in this document i think it's saying it's there because they want to allow discussion and they want to allow discussion and they want people to be able to reach that level of debate. and that can include critical commentary for that but i just include critical commentary for that but ijust think include critical commentary for that but i just think that's really damning information to come out about facebook.— damning information to come out about facebook. yes. and a public fiaure about facebook. yes. and a public figure might _ about facebook. yes. and a public figure mightiust— about facebook. yes. and a public figure mightjust be _ about facebook. yes. and a public figure mightjust be somebody - about facebook. yes. and a public| figure mightjust be somebody with about facebook. yes. and a public i figure mightjust be somebody with a large social media following. indeed, absolutely. ithink large social media following. indeed, absolutely. i think it's a staggering story. once again a call

because of the pandemic. but those rules are due to be changed at the beginning of next week, i believe. now, headlines coming up in about ten minutes or so but before that all these sports. good evening... hello, i'm tulsen tollett and this is your sports news where we start with cricket and england fell to a 66 run loss against india in the first one day international of their three match series in pune. having been in a commanding position chasing 318 for victory, they suffered a middle order batting collapse to surrender advantage as andy swiss reports. it's becoming a familiar sight — india all smiles, england left to rue and other chastening defeat. earlier, india's batsman had emerged brimful of confidence. when he went for 98, one of three wickets for ben stokes, england seemed to have real demand.
10:53 pm
but three and a half centuries from kale raul and david hunt helped india retrieve initiative, and a total of 317 it looked a decent one. not for long, though, asjonny bairstow injason roy got england off to a flyer it — in a flash, they put on 135, and victory seemed firmly in their sites. but suddenly, the wickets tumbled and the wheels came off. bairstow went for 94, and from there the innings fizzled away as india held their catches in their nerve. another emphatic win for them. for england, a game which at one point promised much but delivered only more disappointment. andy swiss, bbc news. the england captain eoin morgan was honest in his assesment of the defeat. we made mistakes and india bowled well. for the majority of today's game we played really well.
10:54 pm
it's a shame we couldn't build on the bowling unit's effort to restrict india to 318. two fantastic openers upfront. we failed to continue to build partnerships from there. that was what happened, really. the british and irish lions will tour south africa this summer after plans to host it elsewhere were all rejected. the possibility of switching the tour to britain and ireland or even hosting it in australia had been raised due to the covid pandemic but was ruled out. the three test series gets under way injohannesburg on the 24th ofjuly after a number of warm up games beforehand. aberdeen have confirmed that former player stephen glass is the club's new manager, replacing derek macinnes. glass started his career at pittodrie and made 131 appearances in an aberdeen shirt. he also played for newcastle, watford and hibs. glass has come from atlanta united's

10:57 pm
and it was like the king walking into a dressing room. charismatic, great aura about him, and a really top class footballer. he was a great fella. worthington. in the 1978—79 session, bolton struggled but worthington won the golden boot. worthington! and though he had many loves in life, football always came first. he kept playing for birmingham, leeds, sunderland, southampton, brighton — the list went on. he was into his mid—40s before he stopped. i've never taken the game seriously enough to not enjoy the game. i feel people take the game too seriously, i believe the game is there to be enjoyed. and for the fancy pay to come and enjoy.
