i am really hoping that this is an opportunity to change at the very top, and i do notice that lord patelepared to undertake the hard work which is necessary to put yorkshire back at the pinnacle of english cricket. we all need to work together now and work hard to create this new wonderful dawn that is going to hopefully shine every morning at headingley, the most iconic cricket ground in world cricket. but with an exodus of the club's sponsors and headingley banned from hosting international cricket, rebuilding yorkshire's international reputation won't be easy. simon jones, bbc news. the coronavirus pandemic was particularly difficult for children. lockdown meant many of them couldn't play outside or meet with friends. that was certainly true for makenzy beard — a teenagerfrom wales. when she couldn't play hockey — she decided to take up painting. tomos morgan has been to meet her. there is good, isn't it. six out of ten. granddad _ there is good, isn't it. six out of ten. granddad bernard - there is good, isn't it. six out of. ten. granddad bernard witnessing there is good, isn't it.

i think| there has been a break there, i watershed, you have a change of chairman, lord patel who hasthis response. this has been going on for 20—30 years. we wouldn't have at this response three years ago in terms of the way sponsors have acted, that way the ecb acted as the story broke, so there is now an acknowledgement come i think a lot more is going to come out, yorkshire has set up a whistle—blowing hotline can i think we need to treat this as a reconciliation moment in the gain of cricket so that we can hear about the pain and then actually decide how is it going to move forward? what needs to change? i think it has to be a moment to see change. sports has to be a part of the answer in our society. we are looking for things that we do together, you know, emotional experiences, shared identities. cricket, sports, should have all of that. it's so painful when you hear someone like azeem rafiq saying that he would not tell his son to run for a game of cricket. that's an absolute tragedy. asian representation in this part down 40% since 2010. cricket has got a problem. thank you v

clear that yorkshire have a huge amount of work to do, and here's a statement from their new chair, lord patel bravery in speaking out should pave the way for other individuals who have been victims of racism to come forward. he has shown great courage and bravery and stick to his guns and to shine a light on what happened to him. but i must stress he has been at pains to say he is looking for cultural change within the game in a wider context. and he has said he's not looking to witchhunt certain individuals. now that he has had the courage to come forward, i think individuals must come forward if they believe that their experiences will help change organisations or county clubs for the positive. bbc asian network's ankur desai was asked what has to happen now in order for this to be a watershed moment in english cricket. better representation. you have got to look at the top level. the ecb who run the game in this country, they need to show more diversity, more people at the boardroom level but then filter down to coaching level and there is only one nation coach at the moment. it won't chan

but then on monday, the new chair, lord patel, said that azeem rafiq should be praised for his bravery had been suspended as part of a separate investigation into a tweet that he sent in 2010. azeem rafiq and also senior yorkshire officials will be giving evidence at digital culture media sport select committee hearing on the 16th of november. the farmer yorkshire chairman will be questioned by mps along with the chief executive of the former chief executive, mark arthur, so the latest in a long line of resignations at yorkshire cricket club over this racism scandal. jane. club over this racism scandal. jane, thank you very much. the husband of the jailed british iranian woman held in tehran, nazanin zagari ratcliffe says he is "stuck in the same status richard ratcliffe is on day 19 of a hunger strike camping quo" after meeting officials at the foreign office. richard ratcliffe is on day 19 of a hunger strike camping outside the foreign office to protest his wife's continued detention in iran. he said the meeting had been quite depressing and he had not been given much hope for her re

the appointment of lord patel is hugely positive.ree here, the oriental plane, is my particular favourite in this whole garden. that is because i planted it. last year on the 10th of december. i must say it is looking pretty good. what a pleasure and an honour to be able to do that! as john rightly said about the sun is beating down. it has been a cold start to the day, notjust here in london but generally across the country. forthe london but generally across the country. for the next few days what you will find as it will not be as cold busking on the money because they will be more cloud and by day we are looking at mild conditions for the time of year. what is happening again as we have a weather front clearing away from the south—east and another one coming in from the atlantic into the north west. where we have clear skies at night are the lowest temperatures. plaid big enough for drizzle. as the front comes enable me the way the showers. ? as the cloud enough. in the south we are looking at gentle breezes, if any at all the te

lord kamlesh patel of bradford has been appointed as the new director and chair of the club.ernational matches. it's after a report found former player azeem rafiq had been the victim of racial harrassment and bullying, but the club said they would take no disciplinary action. england captain eoin morgan has been asked about the crisis at yorkshire while speaking to the media at the t20 world cup: there is no place in our sport for any kind of discrimination and i think the actions of the board to yorkshire have indicated how serious they are about dealing with issues like this and obviously resulting in their actions. meanwhile, former england captain michael vaughan will not appear on his bbc radio 5 live show on monday after it was claimed he made a racist comment to a group of asian players. vaughan was named in yorkshire's report into azeem rafiq's claims of racism during his time at the club — something he "completely and categorically denies." a bbc spokesperson said the organisation "remains in discussions with michael and his team". in the t20 world cup scotland lost

yorkshire chair lord patel has said allegations made by individuals about their experiences need to becaptain eoin morgan says his side are looking forward to a repeat of the 50—over final they played at lords in 2019, when england won by the tightest of margins. i wouldn't say strong favourites. new zealand have a full strength squad. we've obviously been hampered with a lot of injuries throughout this tournament. we're playing really good cricket. and the guys are extremely excited about the challenge against new zealand and potentially, you know, the opportunity that might follow that. but we need to play really good cricket in order to beat the kiwis. they've got match winners throughout their team and that's been a big, i suppose, movement of their white ball side, they're sort of power packed, and that quite deep as well. there are a number of threats and number of match winners. and we also have a number of match winners as well. and, at the end of the day, it's trying to commit to, you know, what you do is as a team and we both do it a little bit differently. chelsea manager em
