it's been 4 years since rory mcilroy won the last of his 4 major titles and the northern irishman isther a switch to the us pga tour could help a change of fortunes. that though would mean him handing in his european tour card which would have ryder cup implications. here's our golf correspondent ian carter. as it stands currently he is only looking to play into european tour events. to maintain your membership of the european tour you have to commit to play a minimum of four events so this could mean that rory mcilroy will turn his back on the european tour and give up his membership for next year. he would rejoin the tourfor membership for next year. he would rejoin the tour for 2020 which then would make him eligible for the next ryder cup. but what complicates the matter is the fact that the european tour brought in a rule saying if you give up your membership right then you will make yourself ineligible to bea you will make yourself ineligible to be a future ryder cup captain or vice captain. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other headlines. the former england, west

remember those old home videos of tiger woods and rory mcilroy as children — clubs in hand?ust qualified for the world championships in the usa next year after winning a junior tournament in paris. our reporterjuliette parkin has been to meet him. needless to say alexander says he likes hitting things hard. a perfect sport then for this young kent golfer who has just won the paris junior cup. no mean feat for a six—year—old. junior cup. no mean feat for a six-year-old. it was really far hole. there was tricky bunkers and water. it is a sport where world class talent is often spotted early. no prizes for guessing who this is. tiger woods, one of the most successful golfer of all time shot to fame at the age of three and chipping on to the sofa, a young rory mcilroy. alexander is coached in tunbridge, where he plays around three times a week. here talent is spotted and nurtured early on. a lot ofjuniors are at such a high standard from a young age. when i was younger, i got into golf at the age of three and a half, but it took until i was ten to become a member. alexander is a

rory mcilroy i best get my needles out then send us a mistress history will be stopping i know they willll those bullies, the swine. they will have to get past them. people have been marching peacefully. it is a everybody. we must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraid. must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraidli must stand up for ourselves. we can't go on being afraid. i know love but we all have got to be careful though. he has this large cast. in the first hour there are a lot of conversations and characters. everyone gets to have their see. some people might feel it is moving slowly to something we know is coming. because you get to know the characters and the issues and everything aired so clearly, by the time you get to the third act the massacre, it is terrifying. it has the impact of a paul greengrass movie and it has real epic sweep. some people have said some people said mike leigh is famous for dramas which centre on single characters. you forget mr turner or topsy turvy of the gilbert and sullivan operas. i thought it was powerful. people came out

it didn't go too well for rory mcilroy, though. shots off the pace. lewis hamilton might be world champion, but the formula one constructors‘ championship is still to be decided. first practice for the brazilian grand prix gets underway in sao paolo later. here is the maths. mercedes, hamilton's team, can seal it providing ferrari don't score 13 points more than them. mercedes have won it for the last five years in a row. west indies cricket has taken a bit of battering in recent years, but this is one of their prouder moments. the women's team won the world twenty20 in 2016, and are hosting this year's edition. it gets underway on friday, and the structure of the competition is simple. the ten teams are divided into two round—robin groups of five, with two teams from each group qualifying for the semi—finals. i think for any team, winning at home is a big deal, you know, you always want to win with the support of your fans, your families, you know, coming to see you. and i think, you know, for us it's a great deal. in case you mis

with the knowledge of what robert mueller has in his investigation and they don't know everything rory mcilroy has. i think as pam brown reported earlier today, there's some hiccups about whether or not they want to answer question regarding the transition. that's a curious development. early on, they demarcated the place they were going to draw the line, which was the inauguration. every else they thought was fair game for mueller to ask about. anything after was not. if they're drawing a new line, that's going to be an interesting new wrinkle in the negotiation with robert mueller's team. >> the president says he wrote the answers. personally wrote all the answers to the questions submitted by mueller. not his lawyers. could that be a problem? he can't blame his lawyers if anything goes wrong. when the president finishes the take home as i call it. when they submit this in the m coming days, he's going to have to attest to those answers. he best be very involved in making sure these are the correct answers. but we know behind the scenes, wolf, his lawyers have been working on this. we know h
