john watson's been following the story today. how significant is this?ely significant when you consider that he is chained's big sporting superstar, he was hoping to return to the tokyo olympics later this summer to the tokyo olympics later this summer hoping to successfully defend his 200 metre freestyle title, but 110w his 200 metre freestyle title, but now in light of this band, we know that he wont be able to do that the full eight years and 28 years of age he won't be able to return to compete on till february 2028 so he will be 36 van, obviously his best yea rs will be 36 van, obviously his best years behind him. this is a career and be moments for him. worth pointing out as well that he's been found guilty of tampering with a sample, he had not actually failed any drug test which means in this insta nce we any drug test which means in this instance we won't be seeing any real awarding of metals retrospectively with —— which certainly could see british swimmers benefit those he beat at the world championships last year. but it has raised questions

john watson is there for us.k at what has been that men's final day. novak djokovic successfully defending his title, beating austria's dominic team and five thrilling sets. it extends his record to eight australian titles and continues the stranglehold of the big three in men's tennis. they've now one the last 13 titles. a walk through the corridor of champions would confirm the size of the task novak dominic thirm face. novak djokovic, a seven—time champion here, the best of the best. but thiem showed he could compete with the best, . .. but thiem showed he could compete with the best,... and advantage novak djokovic, and advantage that the serbian rarely let slip. thiem needed a reaction and he got one. even the defending champions stood to applaud. that momentum now changed, thiem winning the sats 6—2, the austrian now in control. momentum can swing on the smallest of margins. this point went in novak djokovic's favour, as did the fourth set, the final going to a decider was up and as so often has been the ca

john watson is in melbourne for us. what a performance once again from novak djokovic.itle. dominic thiem from austria pushed him close, the fifth seed, forcing him close, the fifth seed, forcing him overfive him close, the fifth seed, forcing him over five sets him close, the fifth seed, forcing him overfive sets in him close, the fifth seed, forcing him over five sets in this enthralling encounter. novak djokovic it only dropped one set coming into the final, which shows how close he was pushed. dominic thiem will be disappointed he did not get over the line. he was 2—1 up and surrendering cheap points in the fourth side. novak djokovic levelled the match and won it with that decisive fifth set. thiem will feel he will get chances to win a first grand slam title. surely that will come at the french open, the next grand slam. he has reached the last two finals, losing to rafi on the having beaten rafael nadal at this yea r‘s having beaten rafael nadal at this year's tournament, you wonder if the tide is turning in men's tennis. the stranglehold of the big three continu

this inquiry began in the wake of the cell —— savile scandal and also in intervention by labour mp john watsonat said there was a powerful paedophile network connected to number ten. this inquiry‘s first conclusion was that that was not true, there was no such network, but it says that when isolated examples of prominent people potentially being involved in child abuse came to light, the political establishment effectively did not do enough to deal with them. it says there was deference towards politicians and others when these concerns were raised, there were differences in treatment of wealthy and well—connected people and also a failure by almost every institution to put the needs of children first, and the safety of children. we are talking about isolated cases, in particular one, the liberal mp cyril smith in the 1960s was investigated by the police, accused correctly of abusing children in rochdale. the liberal leader in 1979, david steel, 110w liberal leader in 1979, david steel, now lord steel, was told about this by cyril smith, believe the allegations but did not act on them, the inq

watson. hello, john.es, and i guess not any premier league club, manchester united which i get is quite a statement in itself. tottenham and waltz, two other clubs that have installed rail to seating which paves the way for safe standing. they want to put 1500 seats in the north—east corner of the stadium with a view to then trialling it later this season. standing at matches currently isn't allowed in the premier league but bearin allowed in the premier league but bear in mind that fans do it anyway. so there is a bigger attempt to do it safely by installing more safe standing areas. this is one further step in the process. spurs and wolves are now allowed to put in the seats, what they are not allowed to do yet is put them in as safe standing areas. it is a bit of a sherrard and we would like to see it swe pt sherrard and we would like to see it swept away. i have been told by my expert these kind of seats make spectators safer therefore i will allow clu bs spectators safer therefore i will allow clubs
