he did comment to us at length and many thanks to the wigan warriors owner and chairman.gue starts this thursday. we've just had an fa cup weekend, the league cup takes over for the next couple of nights, the second legs of the semi—finals. aston villa and leicester are all square at 1—1 going into tonight's match at villa park. to go and get to a major domestic cup final, my first full season, would be magnificent. i know, just feeling how it was last season, the play—off final, what a great place it can be to go and what to feel good factor you can lift and that last—minute winner against watford last—minute winner against watford last week has given everyone a bit ofa last week has given everyone a bit of a lift spring in their step and the players are certainly looking forward to it. you've just got to stay calm. i think there are lots of emotions around these games but you have to play with emotion, of course, but then you have to play with that calmness and not overthink it as well so it will be a great occasion to perform well and hopefully get the result we want.

she says, i'm standing because i know too many people in places like wigan no longer feel they have a she is saying that there are many parts of the country that feel disaffected with westminster politics and the best solution to that is to get someone best solution to that is to get someone like her who is representing one of those areas in to sort out that issue. i must say, just phillips who announced she was standing a couple of hours ago it has quite a similar argument as well. she says that people have lost trust in the labour party, that's why it did so catastrophic catastrophically back in the election back in december, but she believes that she has that reputation for being a straight talking politician that she can fix that. she can persuade people of labour cosmic merits and win back some of those voters who have deserted the party. although, she does admit that won't be easy. it means we've got four candidates now, rachel, lisa nandy, just phillips, we also have already had emily thornberry and clive lewes. now that westminster is starting to creep back into action after t

so thats kris radlinski, wigan against warrington this evening. look out for this season. this man of course, israel folau. we've talked about sonny bill williams as one of the big cross—code global stars, folau is another. his move to catalans was announced this week, a huge amount of anger within the game about his signing after he was sacked by australian rugby for his homophobic views. he won't play this weekend, catalans are playing huddersfield, but he could play next week, potentially making his debut against wakefield. there will be lots of attention on him and on catalans dragons.

let's hear more now from wigan chairman and owner ian lenegan.d, let's do something positive to show our support for this environment but also more positively that rugby league is a respect based organisation that values diversity and inclusiveness. it is a decision for the club as to whether or not they can rehabilitate through counselling and education that player. that is for them to disciples of i think rugby league's record in terms of its attitude towards diversity and inclusivity is a spectacularly good and i don't think this should be viewed negatively. and that is why we are to be going to be doing the pride day on march the 22nd to show the public we are support for that community. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other headlines. christian eriksen has left tottenham for inter milan for a fee of around £17 million. the danish midfielder joined spurs in 2013 and was out of contract in the summer. spurs have taken up the option to sign giovani lo celso on a permanent basis. the 23—year—old argentinian initiallyjoined from span

and it's win number one for wigan on a night of drama and ill—discipline at the dw.uthless novak djokovic powers past roger federer to reach yet another australian open final. the biggest deal of the transfer window so far — manchester united could end up paying more than £67 million for bruno fernandes. and are these trainers creating an unlevel playing field for athletes? i'm wondering if we need to sets of records. we need to errors. before spring shoes and after spring shoes -- if spring shoes and after spring shoes —— if we need boats sets of records, we need two arrows. hello again. thank you for your company on sportsday. even before the super league season had started, we'd already had controversy, with the signing of israel falou prompting a good deal of anger, we've prepared to welcome canadians, with the first team outside europe represented, and one of the game's big characters will also be involved, as sonny bill williams spearheads the toronto wolfpacks challenge. tonight, though, two more traditional teams got things under way, with wigan beating warri

whether or not to stand, and tonight she's confirmed, in a letter to her local paper, the wigan postat she is indeed throwing her hat in the ring to be the next labour leader. her argument is that labour needs to focus on winning back its heartlands, areas that had voted labour for decades and stopped doing so back in december. let me just read you one paragraph on what she says. she says: "i'm standing because i know too many people in places like wigan no longer feel they have a voice in our national story." basically, she is saying that there are many parts of the country that feel disaffected with westminster politics, and the best solution to that is to get someone like her, who has represented one of those areas, in to sort out that issue. i must say, jess phillips, who announced she was standing a couple of hours ago, has quite a similar argument. she says that people have lost trust in the labour party, that's why it did so catastrophically at the election back in december, and she believes because she has that reputation for being a straight talking politician that she can f

and wigan mp lisa nandy has also joined the race and said the job should go to someone from what she called the neglected areas of labour's heartlands who could win back the trust of the party's traditional voters. political correspondent nick eardley has more. the wigan mp was another one of those people who had said over the christmas period that she was considering whether or not to stand and tonight she is confirmed, in a letter to her local paper, the wigan post, that she is indeed throwing her hat in the ring to be the next labour leader. her argument is that labour needs to focus on winning back its heartlands, areas that had voted labour for decades and stopped doing so back in december. let me just read you one paragraph on what she says. she says, "i'm standing because i know too many people in places like we can no longer feel they have a voice in our national story." basically, she is saying that there are many parts of the country they feel disaffected with westminster politics and the best solution to that is to get someone like her, who has represented one of those are

we are going to look at the wigan post, lisa for leader is the wigan post, lisa for leader is the headlines those saying she will step in. give us your political take on the labour leadership campaign. us your political take on the labour leadership campaignlj us your political take on the labour leadership campaign. i need to say this at the top of this, the daily mirror, quite a key layer in most leadership contest, like the sun is for the conservative contests. we are withholding judgement. we want to listen to all the candidates. what i‘m saying is a personal view. actually, i am quite a strong admirer of lisa nandy. i think she speaks a lot of common sense. she is very rooted in her constituency of wigan. she understands it. her majority went down in the december election. but she compared the neighbouring seats which all fell to the conservatives, she showed remarkable resilience and bucked the trend. so that one bit of a red while held up there. and, you know, she is for deeply about what labour needs to do to reconnect with communities like wigan —— red wall. and all the other ones

wigan mp lisa nandy is in the race.

whether or not to stand and tonight she is confirmed, in a letter to her local paper, the wigan postr hat in the ring to be the next labour leader. her argument is that labour leader. her argument is that labour needs to focus on winning back its heartlands, areas that had voted labour for decades and stopped doing so back in december. let me just read you one paragraph on what she says. she says "i'm standing because they know too many people in places like we can no longer feel they have a voice in our national story. " they have a voice in our national story." basically, she is saying that there are many parts of the country they feel disaffected with westminster politics and the best solution to that is to get someone like her, who has represented one of those areas, in to sort out that issue. eye must say, jess phillips, who announced she was standing a couple of hours ago, has quite a similar argument stop she says that people have lost trust in the labour party, that's why it did so catastrophically at the election backin catastrophically at the election back in december, and

so thats kris radlinski, wigan against warrington this evening. let me take you through one or two other things to look out for this season. this man of course, israel folau. we've talked about sonny bill williams as one of the big cross—code global stars, folau is another. his move to catalans was announced this week, a huge amount of anger within the game about his signing after he was sacked by australian rugby for his homophobic views. he won't play this weekend, catalans are playing huddersfield, but he could play next week, potentially making his debut against wakefield. there will be lots of attention on him and on catalans dragons. that story will rumble on. elsewhere, it will be a hugely poignant season for hull kingston rovers. many are tipping them to struggle on the pitch but all that is put into perspective as they continue to support their player mossy massoy who suffered a serious spinal injury in pre—season. his career is over, but the club and the wider sport will continue to support him in his rehabilitiation. the game of rugby l

the other, lisa nandy, ofa similarage, and mp for wigan.or labour to change direction, and particularly in terms of the leadership, and to move away, it seems, from thejeremy corbyn yea rs. it seems, from thejeremy corbyn years. she has used the phrase that labour needs to look for someone who has a skin in the game and understands and can relate to the working class communities and the heartlands in the north west of england and the north of england and elsewhere. that's so many labour seats fall to the conservatives are to the last election. and lisa nandy setting out her pets a little earlier on, making it very clear that the party needs to look for a very different leader now. what i do think has to change, and pop you have to do differently that we haven't done for the very, very long time, as actually have a leader who is capable of going out into the country and showing communities like mine, and in hastings, and in wrexham, and in italy, that we have skin in the game, that we get it, that we are rooted in those communities, and we k

but wigan had players of the character of bevan french.idn't. the warriors soon came back for more. sam powell was about to score their second try when chris hill intervened illegally. penalty try given. one look at the replay will tell you what is next. hill sent off, sam powell carried on. we can have an extra man but made little use of that until warrington got themselves in more trouble, mike cooper on the right guilty of a professional foul. yellow card, sin—bin. now his team had only i! men. defending became almost impossible. liam marshall over, we can clear, they never entirely co mforta ble. can clear, they never entirely comfortable. they chase this to the final second, but the warriors just about saw it out. this season promises to be eventful. novak djokovic was merciless in beating roger federer as he reached another australian open final, winning in straight sets against a man clearly struggling with injury. meanwhile, the women's final is something of a surprise. with more from melbourne, here isjohn watson. we have the wome

wigan mp. she does not have that taint of the brexit policy.xit done, even though she was a remain supporter. she's been very critical about the way the labour party is run for them here's what she had to say on sky news a few minutes ago. run for them here's what she had to say on sky news a few minutes agolj think there is definitely a disconnect between the labour party and the country and people in towns like mine. when brexit happened, we immediately went straight to a discussion about free movement, single market, customs unions, all of which are very, very important to people right across the country including wigan, but what we haven't understood is to take back control resonated like no other slogan in my lifetime. why did it resonate? because people lack the means to effect change in their own lives. we get details of a contest and how long it will run, five possible six contenders and it will be a crowded one. it is going to run and run. thank you very much. there is now "overwhelming evidence" that the costs of hs2 are "out of contr

we saw a record number of 16 women in wigan but there were 500 men in event. still signs there is still a long way to go. definitely. next year hopefully it doubles again and see more ladies come through. and you are helping, many women who are coming into the game, how important do you see your own rule for the next generation?” hope it is showing ladies i did it last year, i did it this year, just keep entering and one day you will get through. thank you for your time and joining us on the sofa. thank you once again —— congratulations once again. that's all from sportsday, have a lovely evening, bye for now. good evening. monday morning started frosty and foggy for some but that lifted and allowed for a beautiful sunshine by day, leading into some stunning weather watcher pictures being sent in as the sun started to set. this is norfolk, just as atmospheric, despite the cloud around. high pressure will dominate for the next few days. it will start to drift south and west, allowing more cloud to come in across the country for wednesday onwards. but for the ye

in the other championship matches, wigan stay in the bottom three despite their win at birmingham.l city. they've moved above fulham who lost at home to reading. huge win for stoke, 5—2 at huddersfield. wins for forest, boro and hull and the result of the day 6—1 for qpr at home to cardiff. blowing hot and cold this season. and away from the football. england's cricketers are having a tough time of it on tour in south africa. jofra archer is a doubt for the second test which starts in cape town on friday. the fast bowler bowler has soreness in his right elbow. he was also one of the 11 players affected by a sickness bug. that swept through the camp. the rest of the squad trained this morning. archer was there but didn't bowl. he took six wickets in the first test which england lost, so he would be missed. i don't think it changes anything. for me at least. you know, i think, the difference betweenjofra archer, there were bring in mark wood or something who also bowls 145 so it doesn't change much. it depends, we just have to see what happens. but it doesn't change much for you pers

in the other championship matches, wigan stay in the bottom three despite their win at birmingham. win at bristol city, they've moved above fulham who lost at home to reading. huge win for stoke — 5—2 at huddersfield. wins for forest, boro and hull and the result of the day at loftus road, 6—1 for qpr at home to cardiff. that included a hat—trick for nahki wells. england's cricketers are having a tough time of it, jofra archer is a doubt for the second test against south africa which starts in cape town on friday. the fast bowler bowler has an elbow injury. he took six wickets in the first test which england lost — he was also one of the eleven players affected by a sickness bug. the rest of the squad trained this morning, archer was there but didn't bowl. i don't think it changes anything, for me at least. you know, ithink they will probably... the difference betweenjofra archer, they will probably bring in mark wood or something, who also bowls 145, so, it doesn't really change much. you never know, maybe pace will be nice to face this weekend. it's all different, we'lljust have

the wigan mp lisa nandy said the role should go to someone from what she called "the neglected areas" back the trust of the party's traditional voters. and jess phillips, the mp for birmingham yardley, has also joined the race. on a visit to grimsby, she said the party needed a leader who could "take on" borisjohson and who was willing to "try something different". i'm standing because i think that we need more honesty in politics, and the labour party has got to be honest with itself, it's got to be honest with the country that if we can lose seats like grimsby, something has to change. more of the same won't cut it. ethical veganism — where people avoid all animal products and exploitation — is a philosophical belief and is therefore protected in law. that's according to an employment tribunal in norwich, ruling on the case of a man who claims he was sacked by the league against cruel sports for his ethical veganism. our legal correspondent clive coleman is with me now. jordi casamijana says that when he told his employers that some of their pension funds were invested in companies

that is the wigan mp lisa nandy and the batham mpjess phillips.ly thornberry and the shadow treasury minister clive lewis as the four candidates to so far declare that they will be standing in the labour leadership election. i think from lisa nandy we are likely to see an emphasis on the need for labour to rebuild in its labour heartlands, where they performed unexpectedly badly at the recently —— recent general election. she will say a summary general election. she will say a summary from one of those community she is well placed to make labour's case to voters. in her own words, she is somebody who thinks she is able to perform particularly well in the north of england. meanwhile, jess phillips, a long—standing critic ofjeremy corbyn, i think she will be appealing to those voters who want to see a clean break with the current labour leadership and fresh thinking and fresh ideas to ta ke fresh thinking and fresh ideas to take the party forward. john, for the moment, thank you. the climate change campaigner greta thunberg has changed her name to "

leicester beat wigan 2—0 whilst newcastle will need a replay after being held 1—1 by lower league rochdale3—3 at premier league watford whilst manchester united will need a replay too after a goalless draw at wolves. well, rochdale, who got that 1—1 draw at newcastle, are in the third tier of english football. they've now got a big money replay at st james' park to look forward to and their goal scorer, aaron wilbraham, was almost ready to play that match straight after saturday's game was over! it was a great feeling, just happy to come on and be involved. the second half seemed to go so quick, i could have on playing for another hour. i was not ready for it. i enjoyed it and it was great to get that goal. in spain, the champions barcelona are hoping to regain the lead at the top of la liga things weren't going to plan against bottom of the table espanyol who haven't won in their last eight league games. barca were losing by a goal to nil into the second half but luis suarez equalised and arturo vidal has turned the game around. it's abelardo's first match in charge of espanyol. earlier,

in response to the signing, wigan warriors say that their match against dragons will be a pride day in groups. keegan hirst, who plays for championship side halifax, the first openly gay rugby league player, posted this on social media: "i'm shocked and disappointed at the signing of folau. our great game is tasked with fighting against homophobia and standing up for the values it puts such high stock in. it shows none of the bravery, cameraderie or integrity the rfl expects from its players, staff and fans. " tennis australia says that martina navratilova and john mcenroe have breached tournament protocols after they staged a protest calling for the margaret court arena to be renamed. the 77—year—old australian, who holds the record for the most grand slam singles titles, has been criticized for her homophobic views i just felt that the conversation had stopped. i thought we got it going a couple of years ago and i thought tennis australia would do something. the government of victoria are the ones who make the decision, but nothing has happened and margaret keeps doubling down. roger

the wigan mp, lisa nandi, who opposed another referendum, said the party had airbrushed complexities my leave—voting constituents, are no more racist little englanders than my friends who voted to remain our liberal elitist, and we should never allow the tories to do that, to divide us, young against old. birmingham'sjess phillips also said the party needed to bring together the north and the south. our coalition of labour voters and labour members has two very big hearts in this game. we have got to send that fight to borisjohnson to make sure that in grimsby he is delivering exactly what he promised on the side of a bus, at the same time as making sure that in our london seats, people feel we are not going to turn away from europe. tell me what democracy looks like. this is what democracy looks like. the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornbury, who campaigned for another referendum said that labour had to unite now against the conservatives. we may well end up facing a no—deal brexit, and we have to take the fight to that, because in the end, what unites all of us is that we have

the wigan mp, lisa nandy, and jess phillips, who represents birmingham yardley, both said they wantedtrust in labour and win back voters in its traditional strongholds. this takes the total contenders to four, with others expected in the next few days. our political correspondent john owen is here. the big question ahead for labour now. that's right. these are two fairly high profile figures to have entered into the contest. in terms of what their respective pitches are likely to be to the labour electorate, jess phillips has been a vocal critic ofjeremy corbyn in the past. she has a reputation as an independent minded mp and a campaignerand independent minded mp and a campaigner and she will present herself as someone who is willing to ta ke herself as someone who is willing to take the fight to the conservative party, particularly in those northern seats. similarly lisa nandy will want to emphasise the need to appeal to the so—called labour apartments, those parts particularly of the north of england where the labour party performed unexpectedly badly at the last election resulting

candidacy to succeed jeremy corbyn in the last 24—hour is also an they are lisa nandy, the mp for wiganrmingham yardley and the joint foreign secretary emily formby and clive lewis to make a total of four candidates in the race. in terms of the pitch that they make to the labour electorate to decide who the leader will be, i thinkjess phillips, who has been something of a critic ofjeremy corbyn, a vocal critic ofjeremy corbyn over the yea rs, critic ofjeremy corbyn over the years, will be angling as somebody who can provide a fresh break from the current leadership, the new blood that the party needs to rebuild. she is an independent minded mp and a forceful campaigner so she will try to make a pitch in that way. lisa nandy will be making her pitch as trying to rebuild in its heartlands, particular in the north of england where labour seriously underperformed last general election resulting in some pretty widespread losses to the conservative party. she is pitching herself as somebody who already represents one of those communities and is therefore able to best sell labour‘s message to

second in the premier league, leicester are 2—0 with 2018 winners wigan, wolves beat manchester unitedon that one at the moment. england's bowlers came to the rescue again, leading the fightback on day two of the second test in cape town. having been bowled out for 269, james anderson and stuart broad took five wickets between them, while ben stokes produced some specatuclar catches as south africa were reduced to 215 for eight at the close of play. in cape town, a beautiful warm day, watching on, english knights were heating up too. into battle once more, jimmy anderson, but after yesterday's batting problems, today's opening stand was england's last. and anderson didn't, not for long anyway. all out for 269. now it may be one of the world's most picturesque grounds, but right then for england, things were not looking great. that was until stuart broad found the edge of peter milan's bat. the ball, the game suddenly moved quite some place. time then to get a grip of it. ben stokes and another brilliant catch from him. hamza, the latest batsman to wonder just how he does it. and while

also this afternoon — the gmb union has backed the wigan mp lisa nandy for the leader.illips putting the race? i'm sorry that she's gone, grateful to have in the contest and show real friendship to all of the other leadership candidates including me, and she said that she was setting out to speak truth, i think she has met a lot of ways in this contest and i think listening to that statement just now she was absolutely right that we need to speak to the country on their terms, notjust ours and we need to relearn how to connect with people again. i received it back to today, an important union, need those to get to the next stage. they said you were a breath of fresh air, what does that mean? we had a hustings of people from across the gmb with every reason and mission of the uk. what i got a really strong sense of is that they are a group of people who go out and fight every day against poor employment practices and to make things better for the people they represent, and what they really want to see is not more of the same, notjust changing the face of the top and actu

this is europe's largest food factory — heinz, in wigan — where they churn out a billion tins a year.ching it for tesco, but would like to go further. we're making the first move, but it's also the largest move. so, this represents about a third of our total shrink wrap in the industry. and of course, what we expect is that consumers will learn how to shop in a slightly different way and then, hopefully, we can learn how to eliminate shrink wrap from other retailers as well, going forwards. getting rid of all this plastic wrapping seems such an obvious thing to do. of course, it's just a tiny fraction of the plastic that still ends up in our shopping trolleys, but the pressure's now on to remove it. especially from young people. dear tesco, we are writing to you because we have a great concern about plastic pollution. these plastic wrappings are often unnecessary. these primary school children in kent have just recorded an open letter to all the supermarkets to do more. we look forward to your reply. they've got a mountain to climb. but there is lots going on — from waitrose trialling
