monies going to building up industries here. my feeling is, you always used to start off with lots and lots of new policy ideas at the beginning of parliament and by halfway through half of them re—sunak were quietly dropped. sadly it's unfortunate if it happens to be your favourite of the one you're looking for. it'sjust your favourite of the one you're looking for. it's just not realistic particularly at home to get all through. look at the problems they are having getting ukrainians to come and live in this country. i do so many people who've opened their homes to ukrainians who still haven't got the visa. that's just one typical problem. perhaps if it's true and of course the interesting thing about this is, the idea doesn't have any proof that they are saying this is what may be happening, i'm sure that half the will go, i have to say is an old lady, half of them always did. you are definitely _ lady, half of them always did. you are definitely not _ lady, half of them always did. you are definitely not old it all. i don't know what you're saying. we are running out of time. daily telegraph, russian performance can

that's it for the papers. this hour. eve and emma will be back again at 11:30 goodbye for now. good evening. we start with a dramatic evening at the world snooker championship. there's no greater achievement in the sport than a11i7 break, and before tonight there'd only been eleven made at the crucible in its history. so what a moment for australia's neil robertson, the pre—tournament favourite, who sent the crowd wild with just the twelfth maximum in the history of this sport's iconic venue. it came at a crucial time in an epic second round match too, with robertson fighting back against england's jack lisowski. this match going on late into the

night. this match going on late into the night. remarkably robertson, despite making that 147, has ended up losing the match and going out. a gutsy performance from lisowski has sent him through the quarter 13-12. the small matter of a match with the four—time championjohn higgins next for the englishman. that sta rts starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a name like starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a game like that _ starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a game like that my _ starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a game like that my life. _ starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a game like that my life. the - starts tomorrow afternoon. never had a game like that my life. the share i a game like that my life. the share right at the end. i'm completely drained, get that everything i had come everything. is the best player in the world at the moment of the way he came back at me tonight, it felt like he was punching me. i was losing all the energy out of my body. but then i'vejust losing all the energy out of my body. but then i've just drowned losing all the energy out of my body. but then i'vejust drowned on the self i've learned in thinking about the hard work i put in. the 2019 winnerjudd trump has also been involved in a long and late night tussle this evening. his match with anthony mcgill also going right down to the wire,

with trump eventually sealing it 13 frames to ii. he'll face stuart bingham, the 2015 winner, in the quarter finals. remember the shortlived but highly controversial european superleague which provoked fury among football fans? and clubs such as bury fc collapsing through financial mismanagement? now the government hopes to put a stop to all that by giving english football fans a greater say in decision making in their clubs and appointing an independent regulator. joe wilson has the details. this is football outrage. fans who pay whatever it takes to support their club forgotten. the reaction when the richest clubs try to break away to join a european super league. elsewhere, clubs, so often the heart of communities, have been mis—run towards extinction. derby county, once english champions, on the brink of liquidation. bury fc, in existence since the 18805, expelled from the football league and in financial crisis. there are other examples.

the government now says an independent regulator must oversee the game. do you think we had reached the point where you simply cannot trust football to run itself? unfortunately, we have been waiting quite a long time for football to sort out some of these issues and unfortunately they have failed, so we have had to intervene. there is a lot of support for the changes we are announcing today from fans up and down the country. it was a former sports minister tracey crouch who led the funds review. her recommendations may have been accepted by government, but she knows the premier league rejects the need for an independent regulator. i think the premier league needs to accept there have been some failings in the regulations and with the structures they have overseen in the last, you know, 20 years and that it is now time for a reform. cheering and applause here's a football success story, brentford. their route to the premier league involved substantial investment, but when the club moved to this new and still local stadium,

the fans were consulted and the involvement of supporters at board level at brentford to maintain the club's tradition is one important example for football reformers. because while some clubs move toward sustainability, the general picture, supporters warn, is alarming. we looked at the 2020 figures and this is before the pandemic, remember, 52% of the clubs in the top four leagues are technically insolvent, so all those clubs are one bad owner or one bad decision away from disappearing altogether. so often we hear that fans are at the very centre of football. so often they feel distant from the decisions which affect them, the idea is to change that are not law yet. joe wilson, bbc news. on the pitch in the premier league and not a classic in any way shape orform but a valuable point for leeds united in their bid to avoid relegation. they drew 0—0 at crystal palace, a game of very few notable moments from selhurst park, although wilfried zaha almost grabbing the win

with ten minutes left. but the result means leeds are now five points clear of the drop zone having played one more match than 18th placed everton, while palace stay 14th. blackburn rovers thrashed lancashire rivals preston north end 4—1 at deepdale to end their five—game winless run and keep their hopes of making a return to the premier league after at a decade away. a cool lewis travis finish from just inside the boxputting the icing on the cake. they beat lancashire rivals preston north end 4—1 this evening to go within three points of the championship play—off places, with two games left to play. a cool lewis travis finish from just inside the box ended the derby as a contest, with chile striker brereton diaz hitting the top of the bar as blackburn went in search of more goals. victory moves tony mowbray�*s side up to seventh with two games left as they chase sixth—placed sheffield united. well, in 2a hours time the football world will be tucking into a titanic clash of real heavyweights

in the champions league semi—finals. pep guardiola's been speaking ahead of his manchester city side's first leg against real madrid, and he says they'll need two perfect performances. let's now try to be ourselves, compete good and will have to do to exceptional games to reach the final. and hopefully, we can do it, we can do the games, be ourselves and is it necessary to say how much we respect real madrid, how good they are. and that's all. and that's all the sport for now. hello. a few pockets of frost perhaps southern scotland northern and eastern parts of england to starts tuesday for the fair amount of sun out there but an area cloud both north and east of scotland running down at the north and england during the day will squeeze out a little light and patchy right here and there. northern ireland, wales, midlands southern england after early sunshine seeing kyle building put up the chance of an isolated shower, most dry, up to around 17 in the warm spot. it's

cool feel with the onshore breeze in easton scotland in northeast england and some spots into single figures for another day. cloud here because eastern parts going into wednesday morning. a touch of frost possible by then in scotland in northern england. cloud in the east on wednesday, will thin and breaking elsewhere if you start with some sunshine you can expect some cloud to build. it will continue to be dry still with the breeze on north sea coast, cooler than it is elsewhere and lots of dry weather continues for the rest of the week and into the weekend.
