boiling point when manchester city walk out —— and you sense it will be reaching. is this a match where you could justify buying a half and half a scarf? pretty much the same team that real madrid had a year ago. karim benzema with the winner in extra time a year ago stop that was after they equalised very late on in normal time. after they equalised very late on in normaltime. in after they equalised very late on in normal time. in the final they beat liverpool. what has changed for manchester city? £51 million has brought erling haaland who is on 51 goals and counting. you sense that he is chomping at the bit to go at the 14 he is chomping at the bit to go at the 1a time european champions. chatting to some of the real madrid supporters, they were fairly tongue—in—cheek saying that we do not fear erling haaland and we were keeping very quiet but they will have to have match of their lives,

2:48 pm
not true to who the club is and who the people of burnley are and that is the thing that we are most trying to do, to show people what real burnley is about. i did a pub crawl yesterday on my way to the stadium, working my way or the way up to turf moor, getting to know the supporters. i wanted to earn their trust. an american therapist faces up to ten years in jail after pleading guilty to supplying performance—enhancing drugs to olympic athletes including the banned nigerian sprinter blessing okagbare. eric lira has become the first person convicted under new laws in the usa aimed at tackling international doping conspiracies. he was found to have supplied drugs to okagbare in the build—up to the tokyo olympics in 2021. another frustrating injury blow for england fast bowlerjofra archer who's returned home early from the ipljust five weeks before the ashes gets underway. archer's been suffering with a long—term elbow injury and has made just five appearances

2:50 pm
that no rules were broken? it were in place but it has been deemed that no rules were broken?— that no rules were broken? it caused a stir at the — that no rules were broken? it caused a stir at the time _ that no rules were broken? it caused a stir at the time and _ that no rules were broken? it caused a stir at the time and nicola - that no rules were broken? it caused a stir at the time and nicola bulley i a stir at the time and nicola bulley had been missing for about two weeks that the dash at the time the lancashire police made public health issues and everyone at the time surprised about how much detail that statement went into and they had a news conference that morning to talk about the issues that she had, personal issues, but they would not elaborate and then five hours they released the detailed statement which talked about nicola bulley�*s struggles with alcohol and problems with perimenopause and that caused quite an outcry from women's groups and politicians and the lancashire police were heavily criticised in happened since then is that the commissioners office said it was going to carry out an investigation into why the information was made public and they have done so. we do not know the detail of the investigation but we only get the conclusion that was announced by lancashire police today and that is that the information commissioner's office is going to but no

enforcement action in place about the release of that personal information. they are obviously satisfied with the reasoning that lancashire police gave for giving out that personal information and we have not got the detail as to that but they are not going to take any further action about that. the reason it was _ further action about that. the reason it was so _ further action about that. the reason it was so damaging and there was so much concern about those details being released is that the investigation took 23 days and it prompted even more speculation about what might have happened to her? people will look back at the episode of nicola bulley going missing and herfamily being thrust of nicola bulley going missing and her family being thrust into the spotlight and wonder what happened when it came to some of the media coverage at the time. to be fair to lancashire police, they maintained they believed she had gone into the river at st michael's in lancashire on the day that she vanished which
2:52 pm
is why they were focusing their resources at that area and they never change their stance that that is what they believed had happened but it did not stop the speculation especially on social media about what may have happened to her as an alternative idea and some of those wild terrible idea really ran away with what people were thinking at the time. when lancashire policed who were coming under increasing pressure to elaborate, as to what they think had happened, and i think after two weeks of pressure, that is why lancashire police revealed that personal information about nicola bulley and her body was found about a week later after that information was released and the coroner is still investigating the circumstances surrounding her death but it was a very high profile episode in the uk about a missing person because there was so much terrible wild speculation about what could have happened to her at the
