hello, i'm olly foster, here's what's coming up on sportsday. the manchester united supporters�* trust can't rule out another protest, they have given the club's owners an ultimatum. the covid bubble is breached in the indian premier league, eoin morgan's kolkata side report two positives. it could be a classic for the crucible crowd tonight, selby has a three—frame lead in the world snooker final. hello and welcome to sportsday, i'm olly foster. there's been plenty of fall—out from yesterday's protest at manchester united. thousands turned up ahead of the match against liverpool to voice their opposition to the club's ownership. the game had to be postponed after hundreds broke into the stadium two hours before the scheduled kick—off.

let's cross live now to our correspondentjoe wilson, who witnessed yesterday's demonstration first—hand. joe, it got very ugly. in the last hour we have heard from greater manchester police outlining some of the injuries to their offices. some of the in'uries to their offices. , . . , offices. yes, what manchester united have said today _ offices. yes, what manchester united have said today is _ offices. yes, what manchester united have said today is that _ offices. yes, what manchester united have said today is that they _ offices. yes, what manchester united have said today is that they would - have said today is that they would work with greater manchester police to identify those involved in criminal activity. to identify those involved in criminalactivity. last to identify those involved in criminal activity. last night police were talking about two serious injuries, one officer slashed in the face with a bottle. they have now updated that to tell us about six officers injured during the clashes yesterday. we also have news of one arrest being made. what i have tried to convey throughout my reporting on this is the divergence really in their behaviour and also attitudes of people who came to old trafford yesterday. i still hear the voices

of those telling me they came to protest peacefully and didn't want to be associated in any way with those who found their way to the pitch. we should also say that manchester united have stressed that they have no intention of punishing those who came to manchester united to protest peacefully. yesterday wasn't just about the breakaway superleague, but perhaps the trigger, and we've heard from the manchester united supporters' trust. they have laid out almost an ultimatum.— they have laid out almost an ultimatum. , , . . ultimatum. yes, they want engagement b frida , ultimatum. yes, they want engagement by friday. that — ultimatum. yes, they want engagement by friday. that is _ ultimatum. yes, they want engagement by friday, that is the _ ultimatum. yes, they want engagement by friday, that is the direct _ by friday, that is the direct message tojoel by friday, that is the direct message to joel glazer. by friday, that is the direct message tojoel glazer. if by friday, that is the direct message to joel glazer. if you by friday, that is the direct message tojoel glazer. if you are one of the official supporters groups, what position do you find yourself in right now? the opposition to the glazer family is

entrenched. if there is one thing that unites the supporters of manchester united is the animosity towards the american owners and their belief the family are taking money out of the club and has no interest in even the football that goes on here. so that is entrenched. it is a deeply felt anger. but also is the feeling that after 16 years of peacefully protesting and raising those issues, what has changed? so does it take something extreme to get the glazerfamily does it take something extreme to get the glazer family to notice? that is an interesting perspective for the manchester united supporters' trust to hold and it's an interesting time to hearfrom ian stirling from that group. yesterday is about the strength of feeling _ yesterday is about the strength of feeling from supporters, i don't think_ feeling from supporters, i don't think anyone can be left in any doubt — think anyone can be left in any doubt about that and it is a fight for the _ doubt about that and it is a fight for the whole of football. you have seen _ for the whole of football. you have seen what's been going on at the 0ther— seen what's been going on at the other clubs as well, particularly from _ other clubs as well, particularly from the — other clubs as well, particularly from the big six. do i think

american super league have set in motion a wave of response and fan power if you like. i'm not sure if right now our football holds that. thank you. the premier league has condemned the criminal actions of that minority of protestors at old trafford. in the same statement, they have outlined measures that they want to introduce to stop a breakaway european super league re—surfacing. they said they would be holding the six english clubs accountable, and setting up "a new owners�* charter, that all club owners will be required to sign up to, committimg them to the core principles of the premier league." to this thought thatjoe was mentioning. —— to the sport thatjoe was mentioning. two more matches this evening. west ham will be hoping to move back

up west ham will be hoping to move back up to fifth with a win at burnley. we saw twin brothers arjun and amar purewal come up against each other at wembley in the fa vase final this afternoon. this was last season�*s covid delayed final and it was quite a game between northern league consett and hebburn town. amar equalised for hebburn, and though his side fell behind again, ollie martin scored the winner six minutes frome time, they won 3—2. it was hebburn town�*s first wembley final in their io9—year history. and they enjoyed it! let�*s have a quick look at some of today�*s other sports stories. wigan warriors prop tony clubb has been charged with using racist language by the rfl. he�*s alleged to have made a comment to a hull player on thursday. he faces a minimum eight—game ban if found guilty. netball�*s superleague leaders team bath have pulled further ahead in the table, after beating third—placed manchester thunder 44—41 in an incredibly close game. and new zealand have knocked world champions england off the top of the one—day

international rankings. eoin morgan�*s side have slipped to fourth overall, but remain top of the twenty20 rankings. eoin morgan is currently playing in the indian premier league, captaining the kolkata knight riders, but two of his team—mates, varun chakaravarthy and sandeep warrier, have tested positive for covid. today�*s match against royal challengers bangalore has been postponed. the ipl has pledged to carry on, despite the covid crisis in the country with the death toll over 200,000. the cricket broadcaster prakash wankakar spoke to me from pune. even though the hotel and everybody else is taking all kinds of precautions, it is very tenuous, isn�*t it? it�*s going to take one individual somewhere in that long change to be compromised —— in that

long chain. because of the nature of this virus, many times the individual himself or herself doesn�*t know they are infected. they will no doubt investigate it but i�*m hoping, at least from a sport perspective, that this remains an isolated example as we saw last year in dubai, and indeed on england�*s tour of india that there were these breaches of people infected and the authorities concerned were able to take the necessary precautions and let the game go on. i take the necessary precautions and let the game go on.— let the game go on. i suppose the difference here _ let the game go on. i suppose the difference here now _ let the game go on. i suppose the difference here now is _ let the game go on. i suppose the difference here now is of - let the game go on. i suppose the difference here now is of the - let the game go on. i suppose the difference here now is of the very| difference here now is of the very different conditions in india, and we have got this whole ethical question as well as to whether sport should actually be carrying on when the nation is struggling so badly and the death toll and cases rise. i can only say that if we go back over world history in various very difficult times, from wars to

whatever else, every individual tries i think in his or her own way to try and assuage and help. and i think for cricketers like sportsmen or other entertainers, does this provide a little bit of respite? does it allow people to take their mind off the doom and gloom? one can only hope that the discontinuation of the ipl if that is going to happen does actually provide a fillip to the social and support systems that can be augmented, though i haven�*t heard any clear evidence of how stopping the ipl will actually help the fight against covid. the world championship snooker final will be played to a finish this evening. mark selby leads shaun murphy by ia frames to ii. and yet again there will be a full house at the crucible, this is how the bbc�*s rob walker started proceedings this afternoon.

after an eight—month season of silence and social distancing, we are about to hear the crucible roar like never before. the first capacity crowd at a uk sporting event for over a year. let�*s look ahead to that final session now with hazel irvine and the team. it is the last day here in the crucible theatre, we have stephen hendry and the world number one at the momentjudd trump. lovely to have you both, and how would you assess the eight frames played this afternoon? i assess the eight frames played this afternoon? ~ , ., .., afternoon? i think you could tell the intensity. — afternoon? i think you could tell the intensity, the _ afternoon? i think you could tell the intensity, the pressure - afternoon? i think you could tell the intensity, the pressure wasl the intensity, the pressure was building from yesterday. it is the business day of the final now, the end is in sight. i think in the end shaun murphy will be not too disappointed as he was at the start of the day because there were stages in the final when it looked like mark selby was taking over and gone have had an unassailable lead coming

biggest win of dan evans�* career, beating novak djokovic in monte carlo equalled his highest world ranking. now time for madrid. a tricky opening match against france�*s jeremy chardy, tricky opening match against france�*sjeremy chardy, here he showed his true force of backhand which gave him a break of serve. but evans rallied and in the next game he had a break of his own. it would take the tie—break to separate them, evans showing force in his forehand as well as his fist bump. he had a chance to wrap it up in straight sets but chardy wasn�*t quite done yet. there was another tie—break, this time it was evans who blinked, one set all. the third set was anything but tight, as evans showed the kind of skill that saw him beat the kind of skill that saw him beat the world�*s best player. clay isn�*t a service that has always suited him but he finished with a flourish for his first win in madrid. that wraps it up from me and

sportsday. next on bbc news, ros atkins takes a look at the reality of life after brexit, four months after the end of the transition period. goodbye. since 2016 we have followed the brexit story. through the referendum, through the long process to find a withdrawal deal and then a new trade deal, and now brexit is a reality and i want to look at if promises have been kept. i�*m going to assess three different areas starting with fishing which accounts for 0.1% of the uk economy but has always played a big part in this story. to those who support it, brexit is about taking back control. it's brexit is about taking back control. it�*s an idea that resonated with fishermen and women. we

it's an idea that resonated with fishermen and women. we should be the guardians — fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own _ fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own seas, - fishermen and women. we should be the guardians of our own seas, not . the guardians of our own seas, not ministers we don�*t know, we haven�*t voted in, making decisions for us. borisjohnson argued more prosperity would come with more control. you have not would come with more control. you have got the _ would come with more control. you have got the eu _ would come with more control. vol. have got the eu commission sitting instead of us deciding how fish stocks of uk fish will be parcelled up stocks of uk fish will be parcelled up and divvied up so you take back control. but up and diwied up so you take back control. �* �* ., , up and diwied up so you take back control. �* 1, _ ., ., control. but did boris johnson and his government _ control. but did boris johnson and his government take _ control. but did boris johnson and his government take back - control. but did boris johnson and| his government take back control? the brexit trade deal reduces the value of fish that eu boats can catch in uk waters by 25% across five years, and it�*s estimated that by 2026 uk boats will have access to an extra £145 million worth of fish every year. that is a shift but definitely not taking back control immediately, and what happens beyond 2026 isn't immediately, and what happens beyond 2026 isn�*t settled. because of this, not everyone is happy. this is one fishermen before the deal.
