— here's what he had to say when asked if there was evidence of institutional racism at yorkshire county cricket've not personally met anyone that i've not personally met anyone that i would consider races at yorkshire county cricket club, but i have seen the report and i have seen the allegations being upheld of acts that have been racist from people who are no longer at the club. more broadly than that, i would say that what i've seen is a culture that is locked in the past, a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if we could move forward. well, in a separate development, rana naved—ul—hasan has corroborated azeem rafiq's claim that michael vaughan made a racist comment to a group of asian players — a claim which vaughan "totally denies". the former england captain said he was named in yorkshire's rafiq report. vaughan is alleged to have told a group of asian players, including rafiq and naved, "too many of you lot — we need to do something about it." ex—pakistan bowler naved told espn he also heard the alleged comment. writing

you were a player at yorkshire county cricket club from 1993 until 2009.e us an insight because lots of people have talked about the culture at the cricket club. you were there for a long time. what was it like? it was an environment that you knew you had to work hard. it was an environment that, you know, you tried to win. i never felt anything but welcomed stop during your time there, you said you listened to what azeem rafiq said at the hearing when he talked about some of the racist comments that he had said to him, and some of the cultural issues at the club as well. were you aware of that during any of your time? he talked about cultural issues at the club and some of the racist comments sent to him. no, i never heard that. as i said before, i heard plenty of things in my 18 years as a player in the dressing room which i would not even consider to be acceptable now, and i would say any sportsperson that is out there from that era that says otherwise, i don't think they are telling the truth. there were things said and back on the day it wasn't deemed

it’s resignations, frankly, at yorkshire county cricket club.— resignations, frankly, at yorkshire countycounty cricket club. it's a dot-mac they are not understanding the i county cricket club. it's a dot-mac i they are not understanding the term that the key word cannot be categorised as banter and the hypocrisy of having having this word used for zimbabwean, and they said that if he was playing, they would put him into disciplinary action. the question actually is that the government and even sponsors are actually really unclear about where do yorkshire lie about this? do they have a firm understanding of the discomfort that the cause to the player and if so, why are they not people who have been accused to come up people who have been accused to come up and talk about this and tell us who they are. they obviously kept the report quite secret and they have given it to be investigated and they will take firm action because they will take firm action because they want to be dot—mac you know, they want to be dot—mac you know, they feel that yorkshire have brought the game into disrepute a

yorkshire county cricket club, i believe, is me, it has been my life, whether i am a player or not i am a senior former player, the captain. once you have played for yorkshire, you are always a yorkshire player and i'm sorry for the hurt he has gone through. hopefully, time can't ever be a healer in the situation he has through, but hopefully time can be a way of us making sure that yorkshire county cricket club never goes through this situation again, and never puts themselves in a situation of denial that they treated a player so badly. do you think you can repair that relationship with him? anything in life is can be repaired, i would like to get the stage where we can shake hands, talk about how to get cricket back on track, how to get yorkshire county cricket club back on track, can we both help, can we both help the club to get to a position that in five or ten years time we can look at this moment has been that moment that changed the game. i would love to be a part of that, and i'm sure azeem rafiq would also like to be a part of that. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm liz

county cricket. but the ramifications of this remarkable saga now extend well beyond headingley. dan roan reporting, who's at headingley, and says yorkshiret club is in absolute turmoil. the way that things have unravelled here, sophie, the nature of the implosion at yorkshire is like nothing i can recall in sport. in the space ofjust a few days�* time, this club has lost pretty much all of its sponsors, its right to host international matches, its chairman, half of the board, there is allegations against two of the biggest names to play here in recent years. tonight, there is another revelation around the head coach, andrew gale, being investigated by both yorkshire and the ecb over an alleged anti—semitic tweet in 2010. and the fear, i think, is that this case has perhaps exposed an ugly side to the game. certainly, when you look at professional football, this sport seems to suffer from much less diversity, and underrepresentation of non—white players, a fear, perhaps, as a result of this, that it has exposed that this sport is in some way out of kilter with trends in wider society. today, yorkshire issued a statement pledging that they

three board members including the chairman of yorkshire county cricket club have resigned over the club's handling of racism experienced by former player azeem rafiq. i would say that what i've seen is a culture that's locked in the past. a culture that finds it difficult to accept challenge and change, and that, in my view, it would be great if it can move forward. greta thunberg joins thousands of young activists marching through glasgow — demanding politicians take serious action on climate change. the campaigner has critisised leaders attending the cop26summit. we are tired of their blah blah blah. our leaders are not leading. this is what leadership looks like. a fifth teenager has been found guilty of killing 15—year—old keon lincoln who was shot and stabbed outside home in birmingham. in the united states — prosecutors in georgia have alleged an unarmed blackjogger killed last year came �*under attack�* from the three white men who confronted him. an experimental pill to treat covid—19 — new trial results show it can cut the risk of hospitalisation or death by nearly 90% in vulnera
