and it's a particular issue as they, in many ways, face the humiliation in many ways, face the humiliation in ukraine and this is an attempt to win back perhaps credibility as well but also to send that message abroad. ,, ., but also to send that message abroad. ,, ._ , , but also to send that message abroad. ,, ., , , ., abroad. staying with the issue of ukraine. abroad. staying with the issue of ukraine- a _ abroad. staying with the issue of ukraine. a slightly _ abroad. staying with the issue of ukraine. a slightly unexpected i ukraine. a slightly unexpected centre ground for it now but the front page of the daily telegraph the sport and let's take a look at that. basically focusing in on wimbledon. the tennis championship, they have decided to ban russian and belarusian players. it's headline is interesting because they're saying this bit of a backlash from players and former players about this band. not just from and former players about this band. notjust from them but other tennis not just from them but other tennis players _ not just from them but other tennis players. wimbledon has decided to ban players from russia and belarus competing _ ban players from russia and belarus competing in this years championship

is inevitable that p start reconsidering these things and we look at the cost of living presence in the fact that people are considering for the considered to be luxury purchases, that takes its toll. and on top of that, particularly in the united states and canada, this is a saturation in the streaming markets, like netflix, amazon, disney plus, paramount, so many offerings are available now and it just many offerings are available now and itjust means there are fewer people to go for. the end result is a decline in 40% of the value of netflix and that equates to $55 billion lost which is a huge amount. lucy, where you this? are you fed up with the streaming services are you surprised by this? t with the streaming services are you surprised by this?— surprised by this? i was not surprised — surprised by this? i was not surprised because - surprised by this? i was not surprised because they - surprised by this? i was not. surprised because they really flourished during the lockdown when most of _ flourished during the lockdown when most of us _ flourished during the lockdown when most of us had absolutely nothing. just for— most of us had absolutely nothing. just for a _ most of us had absolutely nothing. just for a second, i don't know

quite a stir in court in the royal court has has been reported and i think this is all a part of the interesting game of grieving encounter briefing to be a scene play out in the last few years as the duke and duchess of sussex have established their new life in america, they have a surprise trip to the uk to meet the queen and they did not meet with prince william and prince charles and perhaps this much more to come out on that. and now prince harry is in the invictus games in holland and i imagine we will hear bits more on this ahead of the interview. lucy, we can see you again. same story but slightly different angle. are you coming or not than. what are they referring to?—

occasions, at this particular moment as the best person to succeed the queen in stowe, among every people, he has topped both prince charles and prince william on the choice is provided in that age division is really, really interesting because it has profound implications for the future of the monarchy. once the queen eventually passes, passes the mental onto prince charles, inevitably, there will be a pause and an element of reckoning as the public thinks, is this really what we want to happen. they will do everything they can to bring about continuity but among younger people, i imagine very serious questions will be asked.— i imagine very serious questions will be asked. joe, always good to have an answer _ will be asked. joe, always good to have an answer like _ will be asked. joe, always good to have an answer like that _ will be asked. joe, always good to have an answer like that up - will be asked. joe, always good to have an answer like that up your l have an answer like that up your sleeve and thank you for your insight as well.

that's it for the papers tonight. my thanks to lucy and joe — we will be back tomorrow — sportsday is next. goodbye for now. good evening, i'm chetan pathak with your sports news. manchester city are back on top of the premier league tonight, after getting the win they needed to move a point clear of liverpool. pep guardiola's side have beaten brighton 3—0 at the etihad, although the visitors held out for over 50 minutes before city made the breakthrough. that goal coming from riyad mahrez before phil foden and bernardo silva put the game to bed. with six games to go, the title remains in city's hands for now. if we drop two points, just draw, liverpool will be champion and if we win, we will be champion. so, the players, they know it,

so we went to try and hopefully the distractions don't make an influence in our plays. but we're not exactly with a tough game to have and every game is different. but like today, if we win our other games. we are going to celebrate it. arsenal have boosted their chances of champions league football with a 4—2 in at chelsea tonight. they're still fifth, but level on points now with fourth placed tottenham with the same number of games played. arsenal went ahead at stamford bridge afterjust five minutes before timo werner equalised for chelsea. arsenal were back in front through emile smith rowe but cezar apilicueta here pulled chelsea level again, 2—2 withjust over half an hour played. but arsenal were not done, nketiah scored his second of the game before bukayo saka's penalty wrapped up a cricial three points and brought arsenal's three

game losing run to an end. we have to win 4 matches and we have not done that in recent weeks and today, confidence and energy wise, it is it is quite exhausting. from the outside looking in, you play for fourth place, i would say, it's very exciting for my point of view. has been exciting for you and for us as well. and you know it's going to be difficult because of the games difficult. now it's manchester united. there was late drama at goodison park where fourth from bottom everton snatched what could prove to be a vital point come the end of the season. frank lampard's sidse made the worst possible start against leicester, harvey barnes giving the visitors the lead afterjust five minutes, but in the 92nd minute richarlison rescued a point, that 1—1 draw means everton are four points clear of burnley with the same number of games played. the good news is we get a chances to set the pace as well. we might get something from those. i am pleased because it's something

we have not been doing well enough, when we're not quite on our game, it's creating chances and at this stage, it can be a crucial point for us. we have to fight and have to show those qualities and show commitment and the players showed that. they certainly showed it and it's sensational in terms of his attitude. we got the point we deserved. wimbledon bosses say they've banned russian and belarusian tennis players because it's "their responsibilty" to play a part in government sanctions. wimbledon's become the first of the four grand slams to make the move. it means men's world number two and us open champion, daniil medvedev and the women s world number 4 aryna sabalenka will be among those to miss the championships. russian and belarusian tennis players have been allowed to play other high profile tournaments under a neutralflag and no national anthem. after the announcement both the mens tour — the atp and the women's tour — the wta released similar statements, criticsing the all england lawn tennis club for its decision. the atp says "we believe that today s unilateral decision by wimbledon and the lta to exclude

players from russia and belarus boxing management company mtk global has announced its ceasing operations in light of the us government's sanctions on founder daniel kinahan. kinahan, who left the mtk in 2017, was last week hit with global financial sanctions by the united states government. the news comes after former mtk president and ceo bob yalen resigned on tuesday morning. in a statement released on twitter, mtk global said "since leading

tyson fury and dillian whyte held an unsually amicable press conference at wembley earlier, ahead of their wbc heavyweight world title clash on saturday. they'll fight at wembley stadium in front of 96,000 fans on saturday night, with fury making a defence of the title he last won in february 2020. it is the first time the two have been in the same room together, mainly due to whyte's reluctance to attend any press events, however they managed to remain civil with whyte explaining it's all about mutual respect. it's about respect. you understand, it's true warriors. he knows, he understands the warrior code. he knows, you know, i'm the kind of guy that he swings and me, of guy that if he swings at me, i'll start swinging. but if he treats me with respect, i would treat them with respect. that's my life motto. you treat me with respect,
