we will get an update on monday from the bha about that, about whether racing can go ahead. go after a billy sharp hat trick but then incredibly they fell apart letting villa come back into the game and after two goals before injury time, andre green scored a dramatic equaliser in the 94th minute to make it 3—3. villa are up to 8th, sheffield united stay third. great britain's fed cup tennis team have qualified in style for tomorrow's final of their round robin tournament in bath. jo konta won her singles rubber against hungary in the last half an hour, following—up on katie boulter‘s win in the tie earlier. konta did it the hard way. winning in a final set tie break. emotional scenes in bath too! victory against serbia tomorrow would earn them a place in april's world group 2 play—off. it's week two of rugby union's 6 nations championship. scotland get things underway against ireland at murrayfield tomorrow. the women were in action tonight though and after a big defeat to england last week, ireland bounced back with a bonus point victory in glasgow. they put four tries pas

they believe the veterinary committee of the bha has clearly helped to restrict the spread of the viruseturn to racing on wednesday, and it is confirmed that two scheduled jump it is confirmed that two scheduled jump fixtures will take place as well as southwell and kempton, they are categorising individual trainers by the level of risk they have been exposed to. the ability of runners to return to racing from those yards will depend on the risk categories yards are placed in. so they are finalising overnight which category individual trainers will be placed m, individual trainers will be placed in, and that is likely to prove controversial, as you can imagine. trainers who hold race it this is now, in other words, an attempt by the british horseracing authority to ensure that they minimise any possible risk from horses. so in addition to the risk factors which have been outlined, as an interim measure, the british horseracing authority has ordered that no entries or declarations will be accepted from horses that have not been vaccinated in the previous six months. again, that would sug

it is all bha lead. they initiated the locked down upon discovering the virus. had six now. they also have other health checks regarding temperatures and things as they arrived on site. that is done by their own vets. how's it going this morning? what is the sense of the atmosphere from trainers and jockeys? a of relief, really. everyone is happy with how things have been handled. equine welfare must come first. everybody is delighted to get back on track. racing is worth {3.5 billion to the economy. to lose nearly a week of it is quite significant. thank you very much. as we say, racing getting back under way shortly after 2pm. at the weekend a series of rescheduled races will take place as the racing community tries to get back to what it does best, racing horses. of course. richard conway. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. spring is in the airfor spring is in the air for the spring is in the airfor the next few days. not clear blue sky everywhere today. still a fair amount of cloud. but more of us will see the sunshine for the next couple of da

the bha taking stock of the samples they have gathered. makea idea is that by this evening they can make a decision on whether racing can get back under way. richard, thank you. our top story this lunchtime... official figures show the uk economy last year grew at its slowest rate for six years. and coming up, calls for drastic action to be taken against social media sites if they fail to tackle dangerous selling by influencers. in the sport in the next 15 minutes, we look ahead to the third day's play in the final test as england look to open —— avoid whitewash against the west indies. insects first appeared on earth hundreds of millions of years ago, and have evolved into the most numerous species on the planet. but a major new scientific study has found that more than 40% of those species are vanishing fast, with an extinction rate eight times that of mammals, birds or reptiles. the use of pesticides and fertilisers, and the conversion of land to urban areas, are partly to blame. the study warns the consequences for the planets ecosyste

we will get an update on monday from the bha as to whether the racing can go ahead. they want to see what they have in times of equine flu and make sure there is no spread of the virus beyond what they already know about for the test taking place over the weekend, and we will find out on monday, the exact position as much as that bha can tell. to know whether racing can't proceed. that long—term gain, it is the most lucrative and cheltenham festival is an 32 days' time. until cheltenham festival begins, the biggest race, at the jockeys come at the ferry us, the bookmakers, and the ponchos, eve ryo ne the bookmakers, and the ponchos, everyone who wants to enjoy, they are all missing out and that is a huge industry that is effectively on hold until this issue is resolved. every player in this weekend's premier league and football league fixtures will wear a black armband as a mark of respect for emiliano sala. the body of the argentine footballer was identified yesterday after being found in the wreckage of the plane he was travelling—in after signing for cardiff city.

the decision initially by the bha has been a overreaction, what is your sense of that?at? i do not think so. i am not a bad cell it is really important to put that bit of information across before everyone sta rts information across before everyone starts worrying about it. the bha have been well advised and what they are doing and this is a virus as such has not happened in this country for ten years and they are playing a cautious high and late in the long term i think is the right thing for them to do. you mentioned island and they would be interested in the contest if you would like between the situations and island not least the stomach by how some of the rules are applied and will you help the viewers understand the difference is? if you take the two countries, they are run by their own bodies and their own board and they are very different. but ireland does is for island ‘s information and what english does is for their information. we are very open about what is happening in ireland have a different approach so i think them i think it works in both ways but they

we will be talking to the bha later in the programme.and he is set to become one of the highest—paid british player ever. ramsey has been at arsenal since moving from his boyhood club, cardiff, 11 years ago, but he has agreed a pre—contract agreement in turin worth a staggering £400,000 a week. last night ramsey announced the move to fans on instagram, saying he leaves with a heavy heart, and that he hopes to finish the season with arsenal strongly before heading on to the next chapter. paul scholes is the latest member of manchester united's class of ‘92 to enter football management. he is taking over at oldham athletic, the club he supported as a boy, and who sit nine points off the play—offs in league 2. the former england midfielder says he is not afraid to start his management career further down the football pyramid. ijust i just feel ready, ijust feel ready, really. i think there has been times in the past where it's been an option for me, but i never felt quite right. where it's been an option for me, but i neverfelt quite right.

very similar to humans and saw the bha have taken this action where they are restricting movement ofwe are in a fit state to resume racing and going into the pinnacle of the racing calendar the cheltenham festival. essentially if your horse is at home and it has developed a conical sign of the flute then certainly adjusting its exercise regime, making sure it does not catch a chill in this horrible weather is good and most horses roller, without treatment. there are about 10% of horses which will require veterinary attention and that they may develop attention and that they may develop a complication of the flue, the most common is secondary bacterial infection of the lungs. how does the size of the opec computer with previous ones? —— size of the outbreak? flu circulates like in humans outbreak? flu circulates like in hu ma ns co nsta ntly outbreak? flu circulates like in humans constantly and it migrates or mutates so the vaccinated horses no have seen a strain they have not seen have seen a strain they have not seen before and the vaccine will protect a vast majority but not 100%.

the bha are due to make another announcement on monday as to whether racing can continue beyond wednesdayck it down and we will be in effectively lock it down and we will beina effectively lock it down and we will be in a very clear position next week and if you were to ask me again about cheltenham i hope to be com pletely about cheltenham i hope to be completely definitive them, but i don't want to tempt fate frankly by saying that they could not be some risk but i am very confident that the action we are taking incorporation with the whole industry will ensure that cheltenham champion. —— can be on. it's been revealed tonight that the potential uk and irish world cup bid for 2030 is still in the pipeline with a meeting in rome between the five national associations scheduled to take place tomorrow. the talks are expected to include potential venues to put forward in the bid proceeds, with an emphasis on maximising the geographical spread of the tournament. the meeting is also expected to discuss efforts to gain backing from the british and irish governments in the women's league cup ar

the bha have got to be sensible and recognise the trainers will only do what is best for their animals that things will proceed like we hope they will on wednesday and racing can go on again. coughs and colds are rife at this time of year and for horses it is no different. the problem with this new strain of flu is that it is overriding the vaccine. there is no risk to humans and horses are expected to make a full recovery. however, the key is to stop it spreading. it is just five weeks until the cheltenham festival is due to get under way. so, it is a tense time this weekend as trainers wait to find out whether or not races are going to resume next week. this is all crucial training time ahead of the festival. the british horse racing authority are due to make a statement on monday. lizzie powell, for bbc points west at cheltenham racecourse. 50 years ago today the "boeing 747" took to the skies for the very first time ? heralding the start of what was dubbed the "golden age of travel". thejumbojet offered more space, more seats and greater luxury than ever before. it transformed avia

the bha is due to announce when meetings can resume this evening.here on the bbc news channel, but now we say goodbye to viewers on bbc two. the defence secretary, gavin williamson, has set out plans to modernise the armed forces so the united kingdom can redefine its role in the world after brexit. mr williamson said britain needed a bolder and stronger military, ready to use its power, or risk being seen as a paper tiger. he said china and russia had blurred the boundaries between war and peace. it will not always be the role of traditional western powers to act as the global policeman, but nor can we walk on by when others are in need. fax to talk but fail to act risks our nation being seen as nothing more than a paper tiger. we arejoined by we are joined byjonathan we arejoined byjonathan beale. tell is more. he said brexit was pretty‘s greatest opportunity to redefine its role in the world and he sees the armed forces as being key to defining britain‘s role in the world. he talked about a number of things, for example selling a new aircraft car

have assessed through the data collection, and we have worked tirelessly, not only our staff at the bham the usa, from michigan, what does it look like? apple made of glass? a frozen apple. that is exactly that. so we can do the weather now. some people might not have been watching a couple of hours ago, simon. it seems a long time ago. explain how that has happened. so andrew in michigan, he says he has found these, and what we think has happened is that this has been as a result of freezing rain. it is water which falls out of the sky and it is very cold and it freezes solidly on impact and it gives a glaze like that on the surface. the glaze has formed over these apples and the apples start to rot below —5, and so the apple inside has rotted away, and apples have a freezing point of about —2, we have heard, which is a bit lower than water, so as the temperature comes up the apple is defrosted and the marsh has dropped out of the bottom —— the mush. this is exactly what we think has happened. they have more freezing rain to come in the united states, as well. on the southern flank of
