the premier league, the efl, the spl are all on hold as well as leagues in wales and northern irelandsplaced fixtures. but it raises big questions about when the season will be completed, if at all, with liverpool desperately close to theirfirst league title in 30 years. uefa, which has suspended the champions league and europa league, is meeting next week to discuss postponing euro 2020 which could allow the domestic season to be extended into the summer. the chairman of the welsh rugby union has admitted their decision to postpone wales's fixture against scotland in the six nations tomorrow was made after seeing a raft of other sporting events being cancelled. the match was set to be the only six nations fixture taking place on the final weekend of the tournament after italy england and france ireland were previous postponed due to coronavirus concerns. as late as this morning the fixture at the principality stadium was still on. that was this morning, before we understood what the other sporting bodies were doing as well, in terms of the efl, i mentioned, the premier league, and in

the efl is continuing regular dialogue with the government and relevant health authorities. and, as and extent of the coronavirus outbreak in this country, a decision will be taken on the resumption of the league's fixtures. and on the financial side, discussions centered on financial relief for clubs in the short term, and while there is no one single solution, measures are to be put in place to immediately assist with cash flow via a 50 million pound short—term relief package. the international olympic committee president says preparations for this summer's games, will be in line with protecting athletes from coronavirus. the global pandemic has called into question this summer's tokyo 0lympics, thomas bach held a conference call with more than 200 athlete representatives earlier — something he says was very "constructive". we have a month to go and we will address these actions and we will keep acting in a responsible way in the interests of the athletes and a lwa ys the interests of the athletes and always respecting our two principles, the first priority being safeguarding of the h

matches across the premier league and the efl have been postponed until at least 30 april.t some teams have already had their pay cut, as they fight to protect jobs through the crisis. joe lynsky reports. it's the multi—billion pound industry that gets richer every year, but even premier league finances will be affected in a pandemic. the matches are off and supporters are at home, so now two top—flight clubs have cut down their staff. at mike ashley's newcastle, those behind the scenes have been put on leave. now tottenham, too, say they have to adapt. in a statement, theirchairman said... spurs are the eighth—richest club in the world, but now non—playing employees could go on the government's furlough scheme. for now, the players are still paid in full. footballers tend to get paid those multi—million—pound—a—year contracts, so it's easier in some ways to furlough your non—playing staff because their monthly takehomes are going to be much more in line with what we might consider to be average salaries, which means those government schemes can meet those requirements of n

the fa, premier league, efl, all scottish football and the women's game have all agreed on a postponement of april. this is the part of the statement that explains today's developments in english football. the fa's rules and regulations state that "the season shall terminate not later than the 1 june. however, the fa's board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season. additionally, we have collectively agreed that the professional game in england will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 april. bournemouth are one of the premier league teams desperate for the season to continue. they're in the bottom three, so if it were to end now with the current positions determining theirfate, they could be relegated. i think the remaining games of the season i think the remaining games of the season have to be played, left to give ourselves the best chance to prove that we can stay in the premier league and i'm sure it will be for the teams around us in the bottom three, they will feel the same come you look at the championship you ask the teams the playoffs

the fa, prmeier league, efl and women's game have all agreed on a postponement until the end of aprilement that explains today's developments. the fa's rules and regulations state that "the season shall terminate not bournemouth are one of the prmeier league teams desperate for the season to continue. they're in the bottom three, so if it were to end now with the current positions determining theirfate, they could be relegated. i don't think we'd be in that situation. i think that their remaining games of the season have to be played. we have to give ourselves the best chance to prove that we belong in that league. the other teams that are under us will feel the same. if you looked at the championship and to ask the teams in the playoffs, obviously, they wouldn't be happy there are only six points in it. how close they are to losing and getting automatic promotions. i think that opens up to new problems within football to end the season like that. however, i think the whole season being null and void is still a possibility, u nfortu nately, and void is still a possibility, unfortunate

well, we have the letter from the efl this morning to say that all of our matches were off until theback on, even then. and that then affected not just our even then. and that then affected notjust our games, but also things like player appearances, anything to do with the community, that has all had to stop, but training, we were allowed to make our own arrangements as to individual coaches, whether they would like to carry on training or not. we decided that the players staying at home, but they have a training regime which doesn't include gyms, it's keeping them safe. but also keeping them fed dish — — fete safe. but also keeping them fed dish —— fete —— fit. safe. but also keeping them fed dish -- fete -- fit. so they will do as much as they can at home, by the sounds of it. as well as being obviously and extremely disappointing time for all football fans, whoever they support, i'm assuming the impact for you economically is enormous. it is, because like many of the lower league clubs, we rely on people coming through our gates. we are an entertainment business that brings people

the fa, premier league, efl, all scottish football and the women's game have all agreed on a postponementement that explains today's developments in english football. the fa's rules and regulations state that "the season shall terminate not later than the 1june". however, the fa's board has agreed for this limit to be extended indefinitely for the 2019/20 season. additionally, we have collectively agreed that the professional game in england will be further postponed until no earlier than 30 april. bournemouth are one of the premier league teams desperate for the season to continue. they're in the bottom three so if it were to end now with the current positions determining theirfate, they could be relegated. despite their top flight status, their captain would be more than happy to support players fromm teams in lower divisions struggling financially. being a premier league player and like so many others, we are in a fortu nate like so many others, we are in a fortunate position, we are very privileged. it's like you said, further down the line, if that was an option, i'd be more than hap

meeting to discuss the situation was up in the last few hours they have discussed some measures, the efland relevant health authorities. as and when more information is known regarding the scale and extent of the coronavirus outbreak in this country, a decision will be taken on the resumption of the league's fixtures. on the financial side, discussion centred on financial relief for clubs in the and while there is no—one single solution, measures are to be put in place to immediately assist with cash flow by a £50 million short—term relief package. the international olympic committee president says this year's games are on course to go ahead as planned, but insists preparations will be in line with protecting athletes from the coronavirus. the global pandemic has called into question the tokyo olympics but thomas bach held a conference call with more than 200 athlete representatives on wednesday — something he says was very "constructive". we have still more than four months to go. and we will address this action. we will keep acting in a responsible way in the interest of the athletes,

you've been hearing about the suspension of the premier league, scottish premiership, the efl, and uefaeuropean matches next week. it's notjust football, of course — a major move from formula 1 today — the season is set to be suspended until may because of the virus. the decision to cancel the australian grand prix was made in the early hours of this morning after a mclaren team member tested positive in melbourne. the bahrain grand prix was due to be held behind closed doors later this month, but has now been called off completely. and the vietnam grand prix on 5th of april has also been suspended. it follows last month's decision to cancel the chinese grand prix, as well. meanwhile, england's test series against sri lanka has been postponed. all players and staff will return to the uk as soon as possible following the decision which the ecb said has been taken in "unprecedented times". the two—test series was due to begin next thursday. i think it's important to stress that none of the players are ill at all. in fact, they seem to have got through this last two weeks in sri lanka very

we have just had a statement issued by the premier league, the fa, efl and women's game are saying asl not start again until april 30 at the earliest. they had pushed back, they thought football might be able to be resumed on aprilfour but football might be able to be resumed on april four but that was not realistic. the collective bodies have agreed they are fully committed to trying to finish the season if at all possible. crucial to that being possible is that the fa have agreed to relax a rule that said the season shouldn't finish any later than june one. they send it will be extended indefinitely which will vastly improve the chances of those fixtures being able to be fulfilled. we have unity across english football today. they want to finish the season but it cannot start until april 30 at the very earliest and they have welcomed the decision also by uefa to have postponed euro 2020 by uefa to have postponed euro 2020 by one year. these are obviously unprecedented times and this decision is an unprecedented one for them to move the end of the season backwards. yes, unity across

it's the efl cup final at wembley this afternoon with manchester city bidding for a third successivere struggling in the premier league but say they have nothing to fear as underdogs. it's an opportunity, because nine years ago, i was becoming the manager of walsall in league 1, looking to keep them up. if anyone had told me in nine years, i would be sat here as a premier league manager with aston villa leading them into a domestic cup trophy, i would have said you're crackers. i see it as a massive opportunity. the lads have done ever so well to get to the final. we've always expressed, you know, the tradition of the cup for this football club. now we've got an opportunity against one of the world's best teams. two premier league games under way in the next half an hour. manchester united can go to within a point of fourth by winning at everton. tottenham and wolves aren't too far behind either. holders celtic are at stjohnstone in the last eight of the scottish cup. for the first time since the summer of 2016, heather watson will be a top 50 player when the tennis rankings are conf

but nonetheless, despite mounting pressure, as i say, both the premier league and the efl announced thatd as planned. it has been a day like no other, tennis tours, nba basketball, the australian grand prix, all postponed. and of course, there's a lot more to come. in britain, however, sport continues with cheltenham. today the government said they would look at perhaps cancelling sporting fixtures in the future, but rapidly sporting fixtures having to adjust to a close unheard of in peacetime. it has just been announced that the australian grand prix has had to be called off also, one of many sporting fixtures affected. it's been another terrible day on the markets with some of the biggest—ever day falls. the ftse had its worst day's trading in more than 30 years, closing nearly 11 % down. earlier i spoke to our economics editor, faisal islam about the impact the coronavirus is having. it is having an impact on the real economy, and this is where it's different from 2008. it's through the real economy that the markets are then reacting, notjust the stock markets, also the corporate debt

last few moments we've had a statement, a collective statement from the premier league, the fa, the eflt the earliest. they've also collectively agreed that they wa nt to also collectively agreed that they want to finish the season. they've committed trying to do that if at all possible. crucial to that is an agreement by the fa board to relax a rule that stated that the season should finish no later than the 1st ofjune, and they said they'll extend that indefinitely, which will vastly increase the probability of the fixtures being fulfilled. so thatis the fixtures being fulfilled. so that is all unity among professional football in this country and this was the second meeting in a week off the top flight clubs with the premier league's executive leadership team. these are unprecedented times, of course, and these are decisions that are being made at this meeting today. what are the chances of the olympics going ahead this summer? well, the international olympic committee's position remains unchanged, that it will go ahead. they've met with stakeholders via teleconference this week, the

the premier league, the fa, the efl and the women's game have issued a joint statement saying that theyll not resume until the 30th of april at the earliest. we have pushed it back from their initial plans date of the 4th of april because thatjust simply wasn't realistic in the circumstances —— planned date. crucial to the season being able to be completed is that the fa have agreed to relax a rule saying that the football season should finish no later than the 1st of june. the football season should finish no later than the 1st ofjune. they have decided today that it will be extended indefinitely and that will vastly improve the chances of the season being completed but there are no guarantees on when football will start again, but today we have seen unity across the game. pressure continues to build to postponejuly‘s olympic games in tokyo with one of britain's most decorated olympians describing attempts to keep the event on as "folly". yesterday ioc member hayley wickenheiser said assertions the games will go ahead regardless of the current spread of the coronavirus pandemic were de

has beenin today, they have said the efl has been in contact with nottingham forest and they say theyre taking this very seriously at the moment, as you might imagine. it asks a lot of questions about what else can happen within english football. we‘ve seen it in the champions league last night with a match played behind closed doors, and it‘s been put to a lot of managers about what would happen within the premier league in the championship, would you prefer the game to be postponed or played behind closed doors? the manchester city manager was asked about this before the game tonight, he feels strongly about it, and he said he would prefer it is postponed instead of being behind closed doors. this is for the people. like an actor going to the theatre and there is nobody in the theatre to act for. it is for the people. it makes no sense. wolves are meant to play olympiakos in the europa league tonight. a massive issue for wolves. wolves have releaesd this statement after their request was rejected by uefa. they said some things were more important than football and it was an unnecess

this includes the premier league, the efl, the scottish premiership and the women's super league. current season can be extended indefinitely meaning that there isn't now a deadline to get it completed. still very fluid in the world of football. as many clubs face financial uncertainty, manchester united are the latest club to announce that all casual staff will receive pay regardless of whether the remaining premier league games go ahead. it's expected to cover over 3,000 staff members and will cost around £1 million. the organisers of the monaco grand prix have announced that the race has been cancelled, and notjust postponed. it means that it's the first time since 1954 that no race will take place at the famous course. meanwhile the races in the netherlands and spain have been posponed. and the olympic flame has arrived injapan on a flight from athens. there are growing doubts that the tokyo games can go ahead as scheduled because of the coronavirus pandemic. quite bizarre watching the flame being lit for a games in so much doubt, seems a bit funny, but the ceremony was scaled

the premier league, the efl, the scottish premiership, all wales matches a face put bowman in football to include the masters. so fred ridley, the chairman, said the health and well—being of everyone associated had led them to that decision. a huge decision. earlier, the players championship in florida was cancelled after one round. here is our golf correspondent. this follows the decision to cancel the pga tour leading up to their masters so augusta national are following suit in a sense by postponing rather than cancelling their masters sol postponing rather than cancelling their masters so i think that is worth stressing. there is still the hope that somewhere in 2020, the first men's major of the year will be played, but who knows when that might be. it is a very fluid and dynamic situation at the moment and the organisers face huge headaches across the entire sport to work out across the entire sport to work out a schedule as and when it becomes apparent that it is safe to continue playing golf. rugby, and it has been confirmed by the organisers of the six nations that the game be

authorities and the government about what to do in the future and we know the premier league and the eflhakes at the games this weekend. there is increasing speculation that in the next couple of weeks or months games could be played behind closed doors, like what has happened already in italy and valencia in the champions league on tuesday. there's a story on the back page of the mirror, and some of the other papers, emergency meeting, speculation some premier league games could be played behind closed doors and there is a suggestion that olderfans, over 705, doors and there is a suggestion that older fans, over 705, will doors and there is a suggestion that olderfans, over 705, will be urged to stay away from grounds, tho5e olderfans, over 705, will be urged to stay away from grounds, those at mo5t ri5k to stay away from grounds, those at mo5t risk from the virus, but the government and the premier league are urging that story to be treated with caution at this stage because it's not official. 0ne with caution at this stage because it's not official. one of a raft of measures. . . it's
