the sport's next world cup was due to take place in france in two years�* time, but this afternoon the host nation has pulled out, with the sport now looking into alternative options. the international rugby league chair said... there is no secret as to how important the strengthening of france as a rugby league nation is to our strategic plans. they are of drawing as i can't guarantee the financial viability of the tournament. it is leicester city's turn to take centre stage as the race to avoid relegation continues in the premier league this evening. they face champions league chasing liverpool at the king power. leicester were resoundly beaten by fulham last monday and go into this one inside the relegation zone. victory for leicester moves them out of the bottom three but they take on a liverpool side who've just won six in a row, and who are hunting down a place in the top four. we have to expect a team who wants

at home to brighton. a result effectively killing off arsenal's challenge for a first premier league crown in nearly 20 years. it leaves the top of the premier league looking like this, with the gunners four points behind leaders manchester city, having played a game more. while not mathematically over, city could become champions without playing on saturday — if arsenal lose at nottingham forest. city's next league game is against chelsea on sunday. the word bottle it annoys me because it is ready to grace what arsenal took the season and going all the way to the end of the season and still keeping manchester city in contention. if it's any other club, you've got a chance, at the end the season they do seem to click and get to this moment where theyjust don't lose.

as the french leader hosts a conference aimed at persuading business leaders to put their money in france. in a tweet, french president hailed the tesla, twitter and space x chief exective, as he said "we talked with more on this our europe regional editor paul moss from oui’ newsroom. interesting timing, what is going on? . , ., , ., on? there are several things going on. first on? there are several things going on- first of— on? there are several things going on. first of all, _ on? there are several things going on. first of all, emmanuel- on? there are several things going on. first of all, emmanuel mccawl on? there are several things going i on. first of all, emmanuel mccaw has rather serious problems at home, he has had those manger protests. it has had those manger protests. it has made him one of the most unpopular presidents in french history. he has tried to shift the agenda by holding a conference tell

your investors to france. who is better to get than elon musk who is their riches or second richest man in the world. that is who you want if you are having an investor conference. it's as if you have an audience of rock and roll fans and get the rolling stones to come and see at your wedding. secondly, there is something else very important going on. last year, the us announced it was going to offer $400 billion also in subsidies for green tech knowledge e companies, people with electric cars. that's what a lot of people in the year of very angry because companies already upped sticks and said we will move to america, emmanuel macron was one of those he was most annoyed by the announcement of these, he flew to the us and met withjoe biden, try to persuade him to change his mind. he might as well as they of the journey because all we have seen that then is very minor tweaks.

perhaps, there is set�*s response. there may be a third thing going on, emmanuel macron seems to be the man you like to meet people who people don't want to meet. he went to visit president putin lasted to try to persuade him not to invade ukraine. this year, he went to visit china. critics said he was rather too polite and not critical enough but emmanuel macron did it anyway. sometimes i do feel that present macron doesn't to care much about what people think about who he meets. , ., , ., meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go _ meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go down? - meets. elsewhere, how is a meeting like this going to go down? this - like this going to go down? this noes like this going to go down? this goes much _ like this going to go down? this goes much the _ like this going to go down? ti 3 goes much the issue of the united states subsidies, the 400 billions

dollars worth going to technology companies. some political leaders, some countries they do nothing, we willjust some countries they do nothing, we will just carry some countries they do nothing, we willjust carry on with our unsubsidised approach in britain and hope that the companies come to european countries anyway. the second session was that the european union as a whole should compete for the us and other subsidies of its own. you are talking about a lot of money across europe if you are going to compete for the us and at 400 billion, a third suggestion was that emmanuel macron and other country leaders might individually try to be lower countries with subsidies. at the moment we don't know if emmanuel macron is that in mind but france is additionally a country that likes other subsidies, we will see whether mr mack is having tesla car

yes, the new era. you look very happy. yeah. i'm starting to cry when i see him. like all night, watching all the election. this is a moment of elation for supporters of a party that probably never expected to get this close to being at the heart of government. but some very tough days lie ahead. it's not even clear that despite the mandate this party's got that they will be allowed to take office. party leader pita lim duran ratt was quick to claim victory and to reach out to like minded parties for what he hopes will be a reformist coalition government. the sentiment of the era has changed. and it's right. it was the right timing that people have been through enough of last decade. today is a new day and hopefully it's full of bright sunshine of hope.

but his path to power could yet be blocked by conservative opposition in the unelected senate or by the election commission or the courts, which in the past have been used to depose elected governments. in other countries, when you have the largest two parties like this, combined with more than half of the lower chamber, you should be able to form a government. but in thailand, it's up to the referee agencies, and the referee agencies have shown themselves not to be impartial. so i'm sure that they will concoct something. it will be surprising if it becomes straightforward. there will be many days of uncertainty ahead in thailand as its people wait to see whether they get the government that so many voted for or whether they end up with something else. jonathan head, bbc news, bangkok.

have enough content for people to use streaming services in the future, they are the fun runners. they are going to allow you to have this take, plenty of hurdles to go before this finally gets approved. that is the idea of cloud gaming and thatis that is the idea of cloud gaming and that is why it has become such a hot topic when it comes to this acquisition. not many people are talking about cloud gaming services a couple of months ago but it is now the big discussion point.— the big discussion point. given that now the eu — the big discussion point. given that now the eu has _ the big discussion point. given that now the eu has to _ the big discussion point. given that now the eu has to adjust, - the big discussion point. given that now the eu has to adjust, the - the big discussion point. given that now the eu has to adjust, the uk i the big discussion point. given that i now the eu has to adjust, the uk now say no, i do think the eu are proving this will give microsoft the clout it needs to appeal against it? i think it is a significant decision because it is a second act out of a three act play when it comes to this

because the three main ones i need to worry about are the uk, the eu and the us. if the deal is not passing those three territories then it comes to an end. in the us, it works slightly differently, the deal is approved unless it is blocked. the ftc in america have got to take this to court in order to block it so that will happen later on in the summer. it is slightly different in the eu and the uk, it has to be approved first. what this does is that it places pressure on the uk's decision to block the deal because we are expecting microsoft to appeal that decision and so this decision will allow them to give them a bit more scope to ensure that appeal is successful. that can take quite a long time, it is quite a lengthy process. we might not find out what happens not appeal it will lemon later on this year. with one down,

one is a very serious? and the others currently are no and they are trying to overturn that decision. let's focus on turkey, where the country's currency the lira has hit a two—month low against the dollar, with an election run—off looming. turkey has been grappling with a cost of living crisis with inflation running at 44%, a key issue on the campaign trail. 0ur reporter victoria craig sent us this report from ankara. the currency has fallen monday as the cost of ensuring against a debt default has risen. these are all signs that investors are growing increasingly concerned about what a second—round presidential election in turkey might mean for the country's economic future. the economy was the biggest concern for voters for those down the country telling me over the course of the

past two months that it was the single biggest issue propelling them to the ballot box on sunday. 0pposition leader had pledged to return this country to more normal economic policy using interest rates to combat rising prices as most european and north american countries do. president erdogan by contrast has prevented the central bank from raising banks from heiss inflation. the cost of basic food and necessities have risen so much that in the grocery store, many people or can't afford to buy a basic fruit and vegetables that are left to rot on grocery stores shelves. investors aren't sure what another five years of president erdogan might mean for this country but they are betting it could result in more pain. the company behind vice and motherboard has filed for bankruptcy in the us. vice media group was valued at $5.7 billion six years ago , but could be snapped up forjust $225 million — if the firm can find a buyer.

streamline its business. there are other examples of digital only media outlets that have really suffered from the loss of advertising. when it comes to vice, what they are saying is that through this process, you are not going to see any change in terms of their output and they do believe that they will be able to emerge from bankruptcy a stronger and more lean company.— emerge from bankruptcy a stronger and more lean company. thank you, i know ou and more lean company. thank you, i know you will — and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep _ and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep an _ and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep an eye _ and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep an eye on - and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep an eye on that - and more lean company. thank you, i know you will keep an eye on that if l know you will keep an eye on that if there are any updates. that has risen to more than 100%. it is a third time in as many decades at the country has experienced hyperinflation and the prospect of collapse. the government will face intervention in the foreign exchange market and also open up imports of items such as food to discourage

melanoma is the fifth—most common form of cancer in the uk. it is largely preventable with the proper use of sunscreen. today, the charity melanoma focus is calling on the government to scrap vat on sunscreens to make them more affordable. new data from the charity has found that 50% of people think sunscreen is too expensive, and 10% don't use it at all because of the cost. it also found 67% of respondents would use sunscreen more if it was cheaper. the government told us while they keep all taxes under review, they have no plans to make changes here. but the charity says reducing the cost of sunscreen would be a cost—effective way of cutting the overall incidents of skin cancer and would save lives. graham satchell, bbc news. the reality tv show the traitors and its host claudia winkleman were among the big winners at the bafta awards last night. the late queen's tea with paddington bear

weather details. hello there. in contrast to last week, this week is looking much, much quieter. now, it's quite a cold start to the week. it's quite chilly out there today. gradually, it gets a little bit warmer day by day over the week ahead. and whilst there are some showers around, it's nowhere near as wet as it was last week. we've had this band of cloud overnight push south eastwards across the uk. that didn't produce much rain. following on from that, there are a few showers and we've got the winds more from the north or northwest, bringing in a chillier air. and within that chillier air we've seen the cloud building up today. for the most part, there's not a great deal of depth to the cloud, so there's a lot of dry weather around. but there's the chillier air. these are the temperatures that we've got. so 22 degrees in london yesterday, 15 today and a few showers dotted about late afternoon into the early evening, particularly across eastern scotland and northeast england. those will decay, though, overnight. skies will clear for the most part and the winds will drop as well, except in northern scotland where we've got more cloud and showers later.

so here, not as cold as it was last night. otherwise, a chilly four orfive degrees perhaps first thing on tuesday morning, where many places will start dry and sunny. but we do have more cloud in scotland with some showers. that will move down across the country, bringing some showers into northern england. elsewhere, we'll see the cloud bubbling up and spreading out a little bit, but it should stay dry. the winds won't be as strong tomorrow. it won't feel as cold tomorrow. those temperatures creeping up by a degree or so, up to 16 or 17 degrees. now, things are going to be fairly quiet because high pressure is going to be building in across the uk. now, around the top of that area of high pressure, we do have a weather front which will bring this rain into northern scotland on wednesday. 0therwise plenty of sunshine to begin with. again, the cloud builds up and it could just be thick enough to give one or two light showers through lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east of england. again, it's continuing to get a little bit warmer day by day, 17 or 18 degrees, but still quite chilly across northern parts of scotland. we do have high pressure though, extending across the uk through the rest of the week.

that's bringing in these higher temperatures. but occasionally these weather fronts will move down from the northwest and this is where we're more likely to have some showers. but having said that, there aren't too many of those over the week ahead, some spells of sunshine at times. by the end of the week, temperatures are 19 or 20 celsius.
