1:34 pm
the wales players have set today as the final deadline to come to an agreement with the wru to agree terms of a new contract or they'll go on strike. welsh coach warren gatland is hopeful both sides can come to an agreement and delayed naming his team yesterday. rugby commentator gareth rhys owen explains some of the sticking points. specifically, the idea that wages would be reduced, but in addition to 80% basic guaranteed, 20% dependent on player performances. how many games they play, how many games they win. if you look at the context right now, rugby players are being told, day after day, due to concussion and injury, they need to manage their workload, they need to sit these games out if they are not feeling ioo%. these contracts are suggesting the very opposite. i don't think the union and the regions will come to an agreement today, but the hope will be
1:35 pm
that the players are given some assurances or some draft contracts that would appease them and allow this game to go ahead on saturday. england are looking to retain the arnold clark cup tonight when they face belgium at ashton gate. in a winner—takes—all match, the lionesses are on a record 28—match unbeaten streak under dutch manager sarina wiegman. despite rotating her squad throughout the tournament, wiegman is determined to add another trophy to her impressive cv as an international coach. we wa nt we want to win the tournament. we don't really know what the strongest ii don't really know what the strongest ii is at the moment, we don't have to know. but it shows that our team is good and it is hard to make decisions. england's leading wicket—ta ker james anderson has returned to the top of the international cricket council's test bowling rankings. at a0 years 207 days,
1:36 pm
anderson is the oldest bowler to hold top spot since australian clarrie grimmett in 1936. anderson returned match figures of 7—54 in the first—test win in new zealand earlier this week to end australia captain pat cummins�* four—year reign at the top. the england seamer has has 682 test wickets, third on the all—time list behind sri lanka spinner muttiah muralitharan and late australia great shane warne. the second test starts in wellington on friday. there are concerns that closure of leisure centres, gyms and pools because of the ongoing energy price crisis, will increase the risks of drownings and harm britain's long—term olympic medal prospects. that's according to double olympic swimming champion rebecca adlington. she has joined 200 sports organisations and athletes in signing a letter which has been sent to the prime minister today. it contains a stark warning that government plans to cut the sector's funding support in april will leave grass routes
1:37 pm
clubs struggling to pay to use facilities and may lose access, with some venues forced to shut permanently. it's going to happen, isn't it? across not only swimming but other sports as well — we shutdown for two years with covid, and now on the back of this, facilities are closing up and down the country. it has that knock—on effect for grassroots sports and then affecting the elite programme. there are fantastic sports that happen at the olympics, but it is one of those that we will start to see less and less, especially over the upcoming olympics, just because, how can people go to olympics for swimming if there are no swimming pools? that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport.

a british woman who joined the islamic state group has lost her legal challenge to regain her uk citizenship. shamima begum was fifteen years old when she travelled to syria, where she married an islamic state fighter. she was later stripped of her british citizenship on grounds of national security, but appealed against that decision. begum claimed she was a victim of human trafficking, we interrupt this story to bigger pictures from warsaw, where we see president biden walking into a meeting. he has been in the region all this week, paying, famously, a visit to kyiv earlier in the week. this all to mark the first anniversary of russian�*s invasion of ukraine. we know that he is speaking to a group who called themselves the
1:39 pm
bucharest nine, the nine countries who were on the eastern flank of nato�*s territory. these will be some of the members of that group. an extraordinary summit of the nato bucharest nine. we are expecting some words from president biden. he is being hosted by the polish president, but also meeting other nato leaders.
1:40 pm
just encase you are justjoining us now, we are showing you pictures live from warsaw, where president biden has been meeting nato leaders and, very specifically, the leaders of the bucharest nine, the nine countries on the eastern flank of nato�*s territory. he is, of course, on a visit of several days to the region. he was in kyiv the day before yesterday, on an historic visit, being flown in at some considerable security risk, meeting president zelensky. he has since beenin president zelensky. he has since been in poland, where he has had meetings with nato leaders. the
1:41 pm
meetings with nato leaders. the meetings today are with those countries which will be in nearest proximity to russia, and they call themselves the bucharest nine. these meetings have been happening, of course, while president putin has been giving his own version of events. he gave his public address yesterday, speaking about the west and saying that it was the west that had triggered the aggression in ukraine, ratherthan had triggered the aggression in ukraine, rather than russia. we have seen today a meeting between president putin and a top—level chinese diplomat, amid fears in the
1:42 pm
west that china is becoming closer to russia over this war. 0k, ok, we are going to leave that there. if president biden does come out and make a statement, we will go back to it immediately. let me take you back to our top domestic story. a british woman who joined the islamic state group has lost her legal challenge to regain her uk citizenship. shamima begum was fifteen years old when she travelled to syria, where she married an islamic state fighter. she was later stripped of her british citizenship on grounds of national security, but appealed against that decision. begum claimed she was a victim of human trafficking, and should be allowed to return to britain from the refugee camp in northern syria where she now lives. shamima begum's lawyers spoke outside the court after a judge said her appeal
1:43 pm
had been fully dismissed. firstly, to state what must be very obvious, that this is an extraordinaryjudgment delivered in an extraordinary way, in which the commission is clearly deeply troubled by the case it is having to decide, and by the limitations placed upon it by the supreme court. the implication, the outcome that we face is that no british child who has been trafficked outside the uk will be protected by the british state if the home secretary invokes national security. state if the home secretary invokes nationalsecurity. i state if the home secretary invokes national security. i think you would like to say number of things, daniel, but we have a number of collective things to remind you of when you read the judgment.

1:45 pm
suspicion that shamima begum was trafficked, that she was harboured by the traffickers until 2019, a credible suspicion that there were extraordinary failures within the uk in preventing her and herfriends from travelling. reading the factual underpinnings of what the commission considers to have been made out on her behalf, you would feel that there would be no way that she could not have succeeded in her appeal. but he will equally see repeated as a thread through the judgment how the commission invokes the supreme court's view that its role was limited and it cannot consider the merits of the case. it is limited to the most narrow grounds of administrative review. in consequence, you have a judgment in

1:57 pm
asking for nato to be more like finland, but finland ended up more like nato. i say to my fellow presidents i'm happy to be here with so many strong allies. the secretary—general has done an incredible job secretary—general has done an incrediblejob for a long secretary—general has done an incredible job for a long time. secretary—general has done an incrediblejob for a long time. i rely on hisjudgment incrediblejob for a long time. i rely on his judgment a great deal. the b9 was founded in 1919. as we approach the one—year anniversary of the further invasion, it is important that we continue to stand again. this is proof of how strongly we feel. that is why i wanted to meet all of you in person here today as nato's eastern flank, you are the front line of the collective defence. you know better than anyone what is at stake in this conflict,

1:59 pm
clear. article five is a sacred commitment that the united states has made, we will defend every inch of nato, every inch of nato. this is an important moment, i look forward to the discussion at the next steps we can take together, and to keep our alliance strong and further deter aggression. what is at stake is notjust ukraine, it is freedom. the idea that nothing like that has happened, things have changed rapidly. we need to make sure that we change them back. so thank you for allowing me to be with you and i look forward to our private discussions.
