one of my cricket heroes was always geoffrey boycott. and what do you know about geoffrey boycott?t the runs in the end. thank you. but the knighthood is proving controversial. this is mr boycott almost 20 years ago, heading into a french court to appeal a conviction of assaulting his girlfriend at that time, margaret moore. he lost the appeal. the court had heard she'd been punched in the face and body 20 times. women's rights campaigners say his knighthood is inappropriate. at a time when prosecutions and convictions are going down, it tells survivors that they are not important, and i think that's a terrible message to send women. geoffrey boycott gave his response on the today programme this morning. it's a cross i have to bear, right or wrong, good or bad. i have to live with it, and i do, because i'm clear in my mind, and i think most people in england are, that it not true. although the chief executive of women's aid has said celebrating a man... i don't care a toss about her, love. it's 25 years ago. speaking later, mr boycott expressed dismay at the media raising the issue

h e and what do you know about geoffrey boycott? he stuck to it and got the i’u ns boycott?troversial though, because in 1998 he was convicted in france of beating his then girlfriend, margaret moore. he has a lwa ys girlfriend, margaret moore. he has always denied the assault. you apologise if you've done something wrong. you put your hand up. i a lwa ys wrong. you put your hand up. i always do about other things. i've made mistakes in my life, but i'm not going to put my hand up for something i know i did not do. not going to put my hand up for something i know! did not do. but on radio four this morning he dismissed concerns from domestic violence charities. although the chief executive of women's aid said celebrating a man... i don't care a toss about her, love, that was 25 years ago. i am dismayed the committee has taken the decision to award the honour in this way. this type of honour makes you look at the whole person, not just type of honour makes you look at the whole person, notjust where type of honour makes you look at the whole person, not just where they have m

is now sir geoffrey boycott.dgment. one of theresa may has made a serious error injudgment. one of the theresa may has made a serious error in judgment. one of the things she was trying to push through was a domestic abuse bill and this seems to throw... it seems to fly in the face of that. we have somebody who was showing no remorse, a convicted perpetrator who has been honoured in this way. that cannot be right. you know what people have been saying today, those who have been defending it, they have been saying he was convicted, it was over 20 years ago, and that this award is for a very different thing, this is for his contribution to sporting life, and for that reason it should be respected. so what would your answer to those people be? all people in the public eye, and sportspeople in particular, are role models. people look up to them. that is not only for what they achieve in sporting world, but also for the rest of their lives was up certainly in terms of honour, this is for the whole person, and we have

mr green blood boycott mr trump boycott the saudis boycott anything before they even seen the play and then there's no opportunity for a gauge of it this is the time for engagement not for boycotts and when you start to boycott the arab world and the united states you're going down a very slippery slide going to be arab or miss. no but is well i caught tell the audience have would palestine his is an integral part of the arab world mr green blatt is someone who has is not only committed ideologically to the settler movement he is a contributor to the entrancement of the supplements regime which is illegal under international law in the heart of the occupied west bank so there was never a moment where this administration even made a slight effort to give the impression that it's has any inclination or any interest in being balanced in being objective butts the palestinian authority that have got to get with the program they live in a middle east that they essentially believe they are of the center of the middle east and their real they've really become a footnote in there are about to t

an image of the woman who mr boycott was convicted of assaulting is on the front of the daily mail. they call labour's plot to take britain back to the 1970s — with plans to boost union powers. the times reports that two british—australian women have been arrested and detained in an iranian prison, as tensions continue to escalate between london and tehran. and the guardian has calls from retailers and unions for urgent government action to help struggling high streets as store closures soar. they also have an image of four former british prime ministers attending a memorial service for the former lib dem leader, paddy ashdown. that is the flavour of some of the front pages. we are going to start off by asking, starting with the independent. no election until brexit is settled, says tom watson. you wonder how long he sees himself as labour's number two in ajeremy corbyn labour party. his statement, as we understand from this paper, is coming ina as we understand from this paper, is coming in a speech tomorrow. it seems to me it seems to me to be not what they agreed was going to be

defensive, —— sir geoff boycott.oversial for highly controversial. i have to say i was astonished when i heard that news, i must be very careful about what i say, sir geoffrey boycott has always made —— has denied the charges against him, though he was found guilty by a court in france. though he has always denied it. i was astonished, what did theresa may think was going to happen by doing this? did she think everyone would think it was a good idea, for a woman prime minister to put this forward as well, former prime minister to put this forward, i find breathtaking. what about you? exactly the same, i felt angry, i felt disgusted, and his big herself says that it is disgusting. i think that again, you have a female prime minister who is confidently stressing the fact that she has a feminist, and obviously, the first thing you think of anything of geoffrey boycott is the fact that he was found guilty for battering his partner. what did you think was going to happen? it looks bad for the tories as well because they h

there's a knighthood for geoffrey boycott, but criticism for his honour because of a convicition fort 21 years ago. jimmy anderson was just a spectator as the ashes slipped away but he's vowed to help win them back in two years' time. good evening. later we'll hear from geoffrey boycott at length, responding to the reaction there has been to his knighthood and the interview he gave to radio 4's today programme this morning. but first let's look ahead to tonight's match at st mary's. england can take another step towards euro 2020 qualification. our sports correspondent, natalie pirks, is in southampton for us. i asked her about the england team news. up front we were expecting marcus rashford being dropped to the bench. sancho has already got three goals a season in the bundesliga. he does not like confidence. gareth southgate said that he was not a player they wanted to hold back. qualifying is something every fan expects, three wins out of three, at the has been talked about the fact there is little challenge in theirs. this game tonight is expected to be the toughest they will hav
