side thatjust wants to get better�* where can they improve do you think? australia are next and i think that a key part of them being that so far in this tournament has been the reading of conditions and that is something that has the torah and clairs on the week! get more tired and hard at the bat on self assessing those conditions in understanding what a good score is without feeling like you have to go out and scored 200 each time which ended t20 game is a lot of runs. so understanding that is something that they have done really well so far and something they will have to continue to do as the tournament moves on. in continue to do as the tournament moves on-— continue to do as the tournament moves om— continue to do as the tournament moves on. . , z: , ., moves on. in the last 20 minutes or so, scott moves on. in the last 20 minutes or so. scott and _ moves on. in the last 20 minutes or so, scott and have _ moves on. in the last 20 minutes or so, scott and have lost _ moves on. in the last 20 minutes or so, scott and have lost again. - australia next on saturday scotland bowled out forjust 60 in their first super 12 match against afghanistan, echoes of that, they lost three wickets in the first over against namibia reaching 109—8 new zealand next week.

yes, three wickets in the first over, and they were fighting an uphill battle from that point namibia came out fired up as you can see in the pictures there. and scotland were really fighting an uphill battle from that point. they fought valiantly to try to get themselves back into the game but unfortunately they did not have enough runs. even though it became and it looked close in and namibia were in control for the majority of the game. were in control for the ma'ority of the name. ., , ., , ,, the game. lots of positives i guess the game. lots of positives i guess the want the game. lots of positives i guess they want to _ the game. lots of positives i guess they want to build _ the game. lots of positives i guess they want to build on _ the game. lots of positives i guess they want to build on that - the game. lots of positives i guess they want to build on that going i they want to build on that going into a break now, i don't think they have but using zealand until next week. but they want to take some of those positives into that. yes. week. but they want to take some of those positives into that.— those positives into that. yes, they have but a week-long _ those positives into that. yes, they have but a week-long break - those positives into that. yes, they have but a week-long break before| have but a week—long break before they have three games in five days. so it's important to go away and take stock of where they're at and come back for a those three games in five days invigorated with a real purpose to try and get better and put their foot and there is going to be an associate member upset at a major test playing nation and scotland would be hopeful they can

do that next week. josh cavallo has become the only current professional male footballer playing in a top division, to come out as gay. the australian midfielder, who is 21, plays for adelaide united in the a—league, and he made the announcement in a video released by the club and he has also spoken to the bbc today. it was a very long journey to the point in my life. i'm very happy with my decision to come out and i hope that one day i can inspire someone in the younger generation or someone in the younger generation or someone else behind the phone that is struggling and see if my story and see if it's ok. the world loves you. we're in 2021. it's a different time what it was before. it's more accepting and i've been nothing but getting good by the public. when i told my two coaches i already felt so much better and ifelt like everything was off my shoulders and acted play on a completely different level. so knowing that the world

the year and that's what the budget said. we'll have to wait and see. it's very broad in definition and i would say we need to be thinking aboutjobs and productivity and employment. that should be the height of the leveling up agender the government set itself and they can do other things around the edges. £5 can do other things around the edaes. , ., ., , ., edges. £5 billion for roads, is that all new money? _ edges. £5 billion for roads, is that all new money? it's _ edges. £5 billion for roads, is that all new money? it's difficult - edges. £5 billion for roads, is that all new money? it's difficult to - all new money? it's difficult to determine- — all new money? it's difficult to determine. it _ all new money? it's difficult to determine. it would _ all new money? it's difficult to determine. it would appear . all new money? it's difficult to i determine. it would appear about all new money? it's difficult to - determine. it would appear about 50% of that is additional and it looks like that will be additional to go outside of the big—city region and if the big—city regions are getting around 7 billion worth of investment in and transport systems across all different modes and about 5 billion going towards around 50% of that news and that will be proportioned to places outside of the city regions that have already got the investments through the separate announcements. to investments through the separate announcements.— investments through the separate announcements. ., ~' ., ., announcements. to your knowledge and this is a general— announcements. to your knowledge and this is a general points, _ announcements. to your knowledge and this is a general points, does _ announcements. to your knowledge and this is a general points, does the - this is a general points, does the government work effectively with local mayors and did they work

effectively with the government? they are going to have to work more closely together. the reality is we get the budgets and they get the announcements but turning those statements are not rhetoric into reality will i cry ? required government to work with local mayors and whatever their political persuasion and with councils across the country and that's not only about allocating cash and resources as important that at that age but it would be involved in responsibility to make the decisions that bring these different aspects together. how do we bring decisions on transport and innovation and skills and only that can be really done at the local level. it's not west minister whitehall that can make it happen. they will need to find a way to work more effectively over the months and years ahead. the chancellor — months and years ahead. the chancellor is _ months and years ahead. the chancellor is going to change the

we have long campaigned for abolition of sparkling wine separate tax and very delighted about that and for all sparkling wines what we weren't expecting today was announcement about the future regime and what it will look like and a review for 18 months and it's a game of two halves. we are not sure and that's because we broadly agree with the government that they should be taxing the amount of alcohol in a product and unfortunately reading the proposal is a bit timid and the new proposals mean those consuming the tax on beer will be between eight and 19p per year of alcohol whereas for whining goes up to 26p per unit and it stays an amazing 29p unit for spirits. it's a consultation to go to the end of
