good evening and welcome to tonight's programme. today, the world professional billiards and snooker association confirmed that ten chinese players have a case to answer in relation to alleged match fixing. among the players charged are some big names in the sport. liang wenbo, a finallist in the uk championship in 2015, has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches on the world snooker tour and approaching players to fix matches. he's also been charged with seeking to obstruct the investigation and failing to cooperate with the governing body. yan bingtao, who won the masters in 2021, has been charged with fixing matches and betting on snooker. and the former uk champion

zhao xintong has been charged with being concerned in fixing matches as well as ——seven other players have been charged with various offences connected with corruption. our reporterjamie broughton has more. this is the biggest match fixing investigation the sport has ever seen. the ten players charged type including two of the snicker�*s brightest stars. earlier today, including two of the snicker�*s brightest stars. earliertoday, i spoke to mr ferguson, the chairman, and he told me how this investigation started. find and he told me how this investigation started. and started and i took the _ investigation started. and started and i took the decision _ investigation started. and started and i took the decision to - investigation started. and started and i took the decision to ban - investigation started. and started | and i took the decision to ban him in early— and i took the decision to ban him in early october. that inquiry has been _ in early october. that inquiry has been very— in early october. that inquiry has been very detailed. i can tell you we have — been very detailed. i can tell you we have reached the end of that. that is _ we have reached the end of that. that is complete and we have now reached _ that is complete and we have now reached the stage of charges. how damauuin reached the stage of charges. how damaging is _ reached the stage of charges. how damaging is this _ reached the stage of charges. firm" damaging is this investigation into the sport? we

at night. and in real trouble, 1—4, love 30 down on his own serve, norrie managed to turn that third sat around, winning four sets and will not play another unseeded player in the third round of the czech republic, who has already knocked out a player. well raducanu's battle with coco gauff had been dubbed the blockbuster tie of the second round, but it ended in a straight sets defeat for the former us champion. gauff controlled the opening set, her power helping her take that 6—3. there were fears raducanu was hampered by an injury, but she burst into life and forced the second set to a tie—break. the final rally epitomised the match, a battle between two of the best young players on the planet, but gauff edged it to knock raducanu out. it means the briton hasn't reached the third round of a grand slam since her stunning 2021 us open win.

i still think, you know, i didn't necessarily play my best today and... although, in the second set i had chances and was pushing, it was still, i felt like i could have done better, myself, but...props to her, she is a great opponent and a great athlete. defending rafael nadal�*s tournament is over — he says he is "mentally destroyed" after losing to world number 65 mackenzie mcdonald in the second round he suffered what appeared to be a hip injury in the second set, crouching down, visibly in pain before seeking medical treatment. his wife was in tears. nadal showed his usual fight after but was still in discomfort, losing in straight sets, his earliest exit in melbourne in seven years. i can't complain about my life at all, so just in terms of sport and in terms of...

..injuries and... ..tough moments, no. i mean, that is another one. ijust can't say that i am not... ..destroyed, mentally, at this time because i would be lying. andy murray will be the first brit to get under way in the third round, when he takes on thanasi kokkinakis tomorrow. former british number one annabel croft believes the australian poses a huge threat, but thinks the fight shown by murray against matteo berrettini is a sign of a return to form for the three—time grand slam champion. he was incredibly talented. he has a very attacking aggressive style, massive serve. his whole life on the tour has been

completely hampered and halted in terms of his development of his game. he's onlyjust now getting back into the swing of things, back out onto her, but he will be hungry. he will want to take auntie marianne. i think it will be a terrific match, i am really looking forward to it. everyone will remember him in the finals of wimbledon, a huge serve, big weapon, someone who had beaten andy murray the last few times they'd met, but andy was saying how he felt better prepared, felt like he was playing better at tennis leading into this grand slam then before, and he is just so hungry to keep winning, and all of that heartbreak he puts himself there with all of the rehab, training after having a metalhead. that is what it was all about yesterday, and he will want to go further, and i do think despite the fact that he is up against an australian, they love him in australia. he's been in the finals here five times. these come so close to winning its. he has a much loved character in australia. i think it is going to be a night feature match. i don't know what the order of play is yet, but i think it will

be a terrific match. the premier league & football assocaition have been facing questions from mps as part of an ongoing investigation into sexism and inequality in football. the women and equalities committee has today heard evidence from broadcasterjacqui oatley. that paul was effectively banned for 50 years. we know all about that, but that is also the reason why there are so many sexist outdated views. —— football was effectively banned for 50 years. and i do believe that it is largely people of an older generation who grew up in that era of having wives, sisters, daughters who were not interested in football because, frankly, they weren't encouraged to be. today's meeting concides with the publication of a new report from durham university which describes men's professional football in england as the last bastion of male domination. it's been sent to football clubs across the country as well as football governing bodies and key politicians — dr stacey pope, who led the report has created a series

of recommendations to tackle what she's decribed as "pervasive sexism and misogyny in sport". while some women do attend live matches, others are not able to do so due to gender discrimination and an environment that is not safe in a welcoming and inclusive for women. and the severity of data ranges from sexist and misogynistic comments through to sexual harassment and sexual assault. can through to sexual harassment and sexual assault.— sexual assault. can escalate the evidence has _ sexual assault. can escalate the evidence has come _ sexual assault. can escalate the evidence has come from? - sexual assault. can escalate thej evidence has come from? these incidents that you are referring to, a lot of people, a lot of women will relate to that. and to have you been speaking to? relate to that. and to have you been speaking to?— speaking to? so the research is based on interviews _ speaking to? so the research is based on interviews that - speaking to? so the research is based on interviews that i've i based on interviews that i've undertaken with the female fans themselves and their experiences, where they have discussed how they are routinely required to prove their status as real fans are routinely required to prove their status as realfans in are routinely required to prove their status as real fans in ways that are simply not necessary for

men. some women it recorded examples of extreme hostility to their very presence in the stadium. so consequences for women have entered this traditionally men's space at the football ground is seen as something that when women are encroaching on men's area. it's causing some men to become threatened and intimidated him and as a result of that, some men are more likely to be challenging, and this was not viewed as a space for women who could be easily offended. amongst your recommendations can be also mentioned introducing a mechanism to identify and respond to sexism and misogyny. how would you see that happening? i sexism and misogyny. how would you see that happening?— see that happening? i have argued that clubs should _ see that happening? i have argued that clubs should be _ see that happening? i have argued that clubs should be required - see that happening? i have argued that clubs should be required to i that clubs should be required to sign up to a charter to pledge their commitment to tackling sexism and misogyny as well as confirming that they will take forward future mechanisms identified to address this and also to establish a national hotline to identify, report, respond to and remedy sexism

and misogyny in football. obviously alongside that, there is a need to think about when redesigning the stadium itself, and future, we need to think about crating women friendly inclusive environments. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. jofra archer continued his comeback from injury by taking a wicket and then pulling off a run out in his first over for mi cape town in the south african t20 competition. but cape town lost the match to sunrisers eastern cape by two wickets. south africa's second highest test run—scorer hashim amla has retired at the age of 39. no one has scored more than his 27 one—day centuries for south africa. amla's 311 not out against england at the oval in 2012 remains the highest test score by a south african. and baby news for great britain's most successful female olympic athlete dame laura kenny and her husband sirjason kenny who are expecting their second child.

she announced it in a post on instagram, saying... "today i felt like i couldn't hide away any more. the football association of wales has agreed a landmark deal that will see equal pay for players in the men's and women's senior national teams. the wales men's senior team have agreed to a 25% pay cut to enable a 25% rise for the women's team that will mean parity for representing their country. wales boss gemma grainger hopes that the historic announcement isjust the beginning. i think one of the most important things for this team is equality. so, as much as equal pay is important and we want to make sure that we had that landmark, equality and making sure that what we have here is equal. so the men's and women's team working on that same level of high performance. we have a

high performance plan here that we want to deliver, so that quality is so important to us. the women's game is growing, we see that at a domestic level, like you said, records are breaking, and that game, i think it's really important to recognise that these games are very different. we are talking about a game that is growing, and it is growing quickly. so really happy around the equal pay, but for us, it's about equality can it's about raising the standard so that ultimately, females, girls in the game can have access can have access to high standards to ultimately help them to perform on the page. more fa cup action for you this evening as cardiff city take on leeds united in the replay of their third—round clash. cardiff came close to beating the premier league side just over a week ago, but sonny perkins' late equaliser forced a replay. leeds haven't had a win since november and manager jesse marsch insists it's coming. i'm disappointed with the fact we haven't developed faster and better,

it's not a good look. much like a lot of people are taking chartered flights and private jets and stuff, they are above everything, they are above everyone else and they can do what they want, and they are separate from the overall cause of trying to tackle climate change, because we are all in the same fight together. these clubs in the premier league can be role models. they can sort of lead the way in this fight, and not, sort of, constantly be doing, you know, what is best for them rather than society as a whole. you what is best for them rather than society as a whole.— what is best for them rather than society as a whole. you don't want it to stay just _ society as a whole. you don't want it to stay just a _ society as a whole. you don't want it to stayjust a pr _ society as a whole. you don't want it to stayjust a pr parts, - society as a whole. you don't want it to stayjust a pr parts, you - society as a whole. you don't want it to stayjust a pr parts, you want to be doing and notjust seem to be doing. so for example, you are one of the signatories to one of those open letters to be for asking them

to drop that they were a carbon neutral event. —— fifa. so even at the highest level, there is still a problem where it is not going beyond pr. how much do you think that affects all elements of the game? i affects all elements of the game? i think it is stiff neck disheartening to a lot of people that care about it. ithink if to a lot of people that care about it. i think if they see that institutions like fifa that aren't doing, not showing integrity and they are not doing what they are doing, it is disheartening for the people lower lower down the pecking order. fans actually have a place and can hold a lot of influence in their club. some clubs are already starting to move in this space in this way. and it's only really going to be official because clubs that improve infrastructure, if they are making their stadiums more efficient, solar panels for example, having their own energy storage commitment in the long term, they are going to say the hell of a lot
