in bahrain. it was hamilton's testing debut the pace of his mercedes replacement, 18—year old kimi antonelli. champion max verstappen and mclaren�*s lando norris both in action. and that's all the sport for now. let's return to that story. a top australian radio presenter has lost his job women's football team. marty sheargold said the matildas reminded him of year 10 girls —

those are a few of the less offensive comments. the host has since apologised. to �*mutually part ways'. football australia, as well as current and former players, have condemned the comments. before the programme — i spoke to the to co—host of the espn women's football podcast, the far out — angela christian wilkes. kind of commentary in sport and in women's sport. the degree of, i suppose, directness,

i know that chidiac posted on her social media and there was, whereas steph catley, so the matildas captain, was asked by the broadcaster about it and she was pretty, you know, to the point. and just saying that there's no place for this in sport and that it's pretty disappointing. so there's been a lot of responses from both athletes and yeah, just a lot of people in women's but clearly in australia. on the fringes? who have been in the game that spout this sort of nonsense. yeah. i think, what happens when someone

with a platform such as marty sheargold's, when they do come out and say something like this, it does kind of create this and misogynistic online and often in ways that target that a lot of that kind of experience for publicly facing women in sport, a lot of that is just routine. and it's kind of something that happens and obviously it's that whole thing of like,

of the comments on certain posts because you just it's still cup that australia hosts next year. how important for this not to have any sort of long term damage is the response we see now those who are involved in the game, those outside of the game. in terms of the response to this moment is perhaps for me than what was actually said. and i've been heartened somewhat by and addressed this very front on very directly. and, you know, said that this isn't okay. in combating the kind of negative effects that it can have. over the course of today,

ss marty sheargold has now — his position with triple m has been mutually terminated. and i think that's a really important moment as well, because that does send a clear message that you can say whatever you like on your platform, let's get back to our main cue starmer is heading washington 7 washington for 7 washington for that 7 washington for that crucial to washington for that crucial meeting with trump, meetingwithfltsnatdfrump. the president meetingwithfltsnatd’fiump, the president there �*in the �* in the week. with me is kathleen burk, emeritus professor at university college london and an expert on us politics. thank you for being here in the studio. as meetings go, i thank you for being here in the studio. imagine :ings go, i thank you for being here in the studio. imagine a igs go, i thank you for being here in the studio. imagine a more, i cannot imagine a more difficult for keir starmer. cannot imagine a moredifficult - for keir starmer.— one for keir starmer. no, a combination _ one for keir starmer. no, a combination of— one for keir starmer. no, a combination of anticipation | one for keir starmer. no, a - combination of anticipation and cerehihatieh efahticiuatieh ahe— ~ , ~ ,,. , i should have apprehension i should have
