15 years, where was the system in place to ensure that when you needed something like ppe, we end up with 72%... i think one of the real problems with this project is when you look at, my colleagues have released a 12 point plan which talks a lot about pride of place and national local spirit, there is some detail on the money. a lot of it is about that community feelings and building on the ones with that were created in the meat communities. what worries me about that is when we get back to our stories, is that we get back to our stories, is that we can't stop talking about pride of place anywhere until we're proud of ourselves as a country and we trust the government to deliver not only this, but any sense of a national or local project. that, i don't think, will be delivered —— delivered by

at murrayfield on saturday. forwards courtney lawes and jenny hill have both been ruled out. lawes is recovering from concussion, while hill has a foot injury. the lawes absence in particular proving a headache. it adds to england's leadership problems he's been deputising for regular captain owen farrell, who is out of the tournament. utility backjoe marchant recently tested positive for covid, which has left him doubtful. but propjoe marler will be available. he's returned to training following his covid—i9 isolation. celtic would overtake scottish premiership leaders rangers if they beat them at parkhead tomorrow. there was also the edinburgh derby tonight. hibs had a goal ruled out for offside against hearts, but after the break, they can thank goalkeeper kevin dabrowski for keeping them in the game. against the run of play, hibs almost pinched the points late on through kevin nisbet, but nil—nil it finished. elsewhere, and two games in the championship — millwall are hosting preston north end and swansea hosting luton — goalless in both of those.

arsenal have confirmed that their captain, pierre—emerick aubameyang, has left the club by mutual agreement. the former gunners captain has been pictured training with barcelona today, although the club has not officially announced his signing. aubameyang hasn't played for arsenal since a disciplinary breach in december, but scored 92 goals in 163 games prior to that sincejoining from borussia dortmund in 2018. tom brady's achievements in the nfl are legendary, earning him international recognition as a sporting great. after a little bit of misinformation over the weekend about his future, the 44—year—announced his retirement on tuesday. he leaves the sport with seven bowls rings in an astonishing career spanning 22 seasons. imran sidat has more.

one of the greatest careers and sporting history has finally come to an end. 22 years in the nfl, seven super bowl titles and over 600 touchdown passes later, tom brady has called it today. the 44—year—old has called it today. the 44—year—old has done it all in the game, and after mounting speculation around his future over the past few days, he confirmed the news in a social media post on tuesday. the american legend said... you nuke career �*s on draughted as pic 109, you nuke career �*s on draughted as pic109, but you nuke career �*s on draughted as pic 109, but it wasn't long before he established himself. this

partnership will go down as one of the greatest. together, the pair won six super bowls for the new england patriots, with brady seeminglyjust getting better with age. perhaps one of his greatest achievements was leading the tampa bay buccaneers to last year's super bowl. but after losing to the la rams last weekend, the three—time super belt and bp knew his time was up. tributes flooded in for a manner notjust by those in his sport, but from those far and wide. what does the future hold for brady? well, he will now take a well earned family break before deciding his next step. but one thing is for sure

— we may never see the likes of him in the nfl ever again. imran sidat, bbc news. golf's saudi arabian—funded asian tour will stage its first event in england this year. the centurion club in hertfordshire is set to host the £1.5 million tournament from the 9th to 12thjune — one of ten international events. the asian tour season starts on thursday and recently revealed it'd been boosted by a £148 million investment from the saudi arabia government's private investment fund. the prize will be $2 million at the club, and yes, it comes as a surprise to many of us in this room. but it's basically part of our strategy to make the asian two or more of a global tour. we have members from all over the world. 25 different nationalities playing on the asian tour. it's notjust for

asians, it's notjust in asia, and we will be playing in other destinations outside. we're three days away from the winter olympics opening ceremony in beijing. one of britain's best medal hopes is the snowboarder katie ormerod, in the slopestyle competition. she was the first british snowboarder to win the world cup title in 2020, and she thinks the conditions might suit her. since 2018, five had a few really good _ since 2018, five had a few really good seasons, including my best of my career — good seasons, including my best of my career i— good seasons, including my best of my career. i think having that success— my career. i think having that success and being on the podium realty— success and being on the podium really helps me to come into these games— really helps me to come into these games feeling really confident. i'm the trest— games feeling really confident. i'm the best snowboarder i've ever been, so “it _ the best snowboarder i've ever been, so “it really— the best snowboarder i've ever been, so i'm really excited to get stuck into it _ so i'm really excited to get stuck into it it — so i'm really excited to get stuck into it it is— so i'm really excited to get stuck into it. it is artificial snow here, but i _ into it. it is artificial snow here, but i grew— into it. it is artificial snow here, but i grew up in the uk, so it's all artificial — but i grew up in the uk, so it's all artificial. but it is different. it's actually running really well, a lot better — it's actually running really well, a lot better than i expected. and that's all the sport for now. from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the team, bye—bye. hello.

we've seen a weather front moving its way northeastwards through the night, giving more cloud, some hill and coastalfog, and also some rain — most of that is light and patchy. and to the north of that, it's still quite cold to start this morning in the chilly air. but for many, it's milder because of the introduction of atlantic winds and that cloud. now that cloud sitting on the hills and coasts, giving fog, as well, some drizzly rain continues particularly in the north and the west throughout the day. but some brighter skies towards the north and east, and also where the cloud breaks through across perhaps northeast england, east wales, the midlands, southern england. and it won't be as windy as it has been recently — still a fairly brisk wind around, but not as windy as we've become used to. and it's milderfor most, away from the north and the east. and it'll stay mild as we move through thursday as well, with further rain — more significant rain, i think, sweeping south on a weather front which will introduce that colder air once again, and the risk of some wintry showers.

welcome to newsday. reporting live from singapore, i'm karishma vaswani. the headlines... russia accuses the west of ignoring valid concerns over national security. the west makes a show of diplomatic support for ukrain, with britain's borisjohnson just one of three prime ministers visiting kyiv. we are also preparing a package of sanctions and other measures to be enacted the moment the first russian toecap crosses further into ukrainian territory. but, as the russians show no signs of pulling back from the borders, moscow says that any move to allow ukraine to join nato would be a hostile act.
