it tookjust eight minutes for o'sullivan to roar back into the lead. applause.y broke ding's resilience and the inevitable soon followed. commentator: what a final, what a contest! _ ijust had to come out and have a good head. this i thought, if i'm going to lose, just make ding earn it. big crowd here, leave blood sweat and tears on the table. iif i don't win, that isjust one of those things, but i came out here and gave it my all and ijust love competing. as most people get older, they start to lose their abilities, but o'sullivan keeps proving that age, to him, is just a number. nick parrott, bbc news. on to football now, and an entertaining day in the premier league, including a particularly high number of goals. six of them were at the etihad, where tottenham managed to grab a draw against manchester city. in a breathless game, it was 3—2 to city, until the 90th minute, when kuluskeki denied city victory. they now drop to third, three points behind leaders, arsenal. i think the team still has a strong belief but the first half was not good enough and the co

o'sullivan's father, ronnie senior, ensured ronniejunior got plenty of game time.e these stories of how — what was it, what would your dad do? he'd drop you off on the city road or something. yeah. and what — you'd just spend all day there, would you? yeah, literally, like, in the summer holidays, yeah — obviously summer holidays. he'd drop me off about10:30, 11:00. i'd play snooker till maybe 9:00, 10:00 at night, sometimes midnight. cos my dad obviously went in and he said, "look, this is my son," you know, "and there's the money. "he plays all day. "keep an eye on him," you know? and that's what they did. it's free childcare, weren't it? that's what he called it. you know, he said, "i was happy to leave you in there cos "i knew you were safe." you know, "i didn't want you on the streets "and stuff like that. "so, for you to be playing snooker in a snooker club..." it was good for him, you know? how quickly did you realise that you were going to be quite good? i always practised with people that were better than me, so my only goal was to beat that person. and th

and "it's a crazy game" for ronnie o'sullivan, who says he "can't be bothered any more" with snooker, despite making the last eight at the uk championship. you're very welcome along to sportsday, wherever you are watching around the world. let's start, then, with football as liverpool cruised into the europa league knockout stages with a match to spare as a 4—0 victory over lask confirmed their place as group winners. they fired out of the blocks and were 2—0 up inside 15 minutes, thanks for luis diaz and cody gakpo. —— minutes, thanks to luis diaz and cody gakpo. mo salah added a third from the penalty spot, before gapko made it four in stoppage time. and as toulouse didn't beat union saint—gilloise, it means liverpool cannot be caught at the top of group e. well, elsewhere, roberto de zerbi says it's a "historic day" for brighton as they beat aek athens to book their spot in the knockout phase of the europa league. the club are playing in europe for the first time in their history and joao pedro scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot to give them the victory. if brig

ronnie o'sullivan is generally regarded as the greatest player ever to pick up a snooker cue. a son of essex, he's broken record after record and he's as exciting away from the table as he is on it. a child prodigy, he became the youngest player to ever win the uk championships. he's compiled more century breaks than any other professional... cheering and applause commentator: i mean, the boy is such a genius, | he really is. ..and his unbeaten 147 time of five minutes and eight seconds is one of the most famous moments in all sporting history. what a break! what a fantastic maximum break that is! in 2022, he went after stephen hendry�*s record of seven world championship titles. he'll have dreamed of this moment, equalling. but what is the true price of victory for him? o'sullivan has battled addiction to alcohol and drugs, fought a continuing battle with his mental health and, at 16, had to overcome an unimaginable trauma — his father sent to prison for murder. but overcome it, he has. today, the father of three is still the number one player in the world — uncowed and outsp

mani o'sullivan. always. definitely.lution. yes, having a faulty smart meter can cause problems with your energy bill, meaning you could end up paying too much or too little for your gas and electricity. a smart meter sends your meter readings to your energy supplier automatically. so your bills should be more accurate than when you submit your own meter readings manually. and you should never get an estimated bill. as it stands, over 33 million have been fitted. that's 58 per cent of all homes and businesses in britain have one installed. and the government's target is to have smart meters in 80 per cent of homes by the end of 2025, saying this is crucial to making homes more energy—efficient. the roll out�*s not all been plain sailing though. latest figures show almost three million still aren't working properly and that's leading to customers being charged the wrong amount for their energy bills. it's something that's happened to paula and sharlene. our business correspondent, marc ashdown has more on their story and
