it's the first time japan have beaten england in eleven years. 0rganisers of the world pa ra—athleticsce when they begin in london on friday to remember abdullah haya—yei. the para athlete from the united arab emirates who was killed while training at newham leisure centre yesterday. the 36—year—old died when a discus cage collapsed on him. the incident was witnessed by some of his team—mates. coaches and athletes from other competing nations... while the uae team have decided to stay and compete in the championships in his honour... the british and irish lions have arrived back in the uk after their dramatic drawn series in new zealand. after six gruelling weeks on the other side of the world, the squad touched down at heathrow airport this afternoon following a 2k hour flight. they were led off the plane by captain sam warburton, with the trophy that the lion's share with the all blacks. 0bviously, would have much rather have the win. the response from back home pretty positive. coming out of the talks, not many people thought we had much of a chance really. to come home with a draw
