About her path to success so far. Having played football at the highest level, ive had the exposure and equally i did an economic degree, worked for Deutsche Bank for years, made Investment Bank and now im full time at chelsea working with the commercial team. I still have the football input but now im learning about how the business is run as well. The board of directors as lewes fc is 33 female, the premier league says 50 of club boards have women on them, but the total number of female Board Members in the top flight amounts to around 11 . Those working to increase diversity on boards so it is critical to address the gender balance. If you want to get change and get more young women playing football which is a big driver for the fa, then every club needs to take ownership and that ownership is not going to happen unless you get different voices on the board and women are a very, very important part of our society and sport matters. As a Community Owned club, lewes say they want their board to reflect that. There is such a great mix of people. Weve got business people, weve got people who have worked in hospitality, people who are football experts and she combines a lot of the general expensive we have on the board so she is a two for one for us so it is great to have that. 40 of the fas board, the sports governing body in england, are women. Progress is being made and lewes, as ever, leading the way. From one decorated England International to another. Ben stokes is a little more decorated today too after being named the mens cricketer of the year. It follows that 2019 with his heroics at headingley in the ashes and his match winning performance in the world cup final. Hes with the rest of the england squad in Port Elizabeth ahead of the third test against south africa. Having some fun in training too by all accounts. Jofra archer isnt expected to be
fit to replace James Anderson so mark wood or chris woakes are most likely to come in. Captain joe root wants the team to Stay Grounded after victory last time out in cape town. From a young team, it is important that we dont live off that when for the rest of this tour. We try to exceed it and make sure we take this opportunity, get in front of the game, we drive it home. After that first innings when we got opportunities to do that, we were excellent at it. You can follow all the action with the guys and girls on the cricket social on the bbc sport website and app. Jonathan trott, Ebony Rainford Brent and Matthew Hoggard among the guests from eight tomorrow.

New zealand sounds nice at this time of year. Where are your its going to be a busy year for many of the british sportspeople, of the british sportspeople, trying to hit form

Jo currie has more. It is a huge year for gb hockey women. In just over six months time they will travel to tokyo to defend their olympic title. Before that though, they have to tackle the pro league which involves them taking on the other top eight teams in the world, either at home or away. Its a perfect test for a side who have struggled with their results over the last three years, since they won that olympic gold medal in rio. Speaking to the players today, they admit the pro league this year, they cant afford for it to be a wash out. Yeah, every game in the olympic year becomes a little bit bigger, it means a little bit more. Just because you can kind of go against someone in your Olympic Group in the last thing you remember is the last game you played against them. That is what all these Pro League Games will be, it is about getting a mental edge now. It is like a tournament, pro league is that the same, youve got to win your first game and i think
you go in and win it and it sets us up quite well. Double header, havent played that in a while, be a bit different after the christmas break but it is similar for them. Playing in heat, playing in humidity, itll be different again but everything is setting this up for olympic year. Great britain travel to australia on sunday for a double header on the 1st and 2nd of february before they hop over to auckland where they take on new zealand on the 8th and 9th. This is where the olympicjourney begins and they will be desperate to get off to a good start. New zealand sounds nice at this time of year. Warm too. A little chillier in switzerland where five british athletes have picked up medals today at the winter youth olympic games. Ice hockey has delivered two silvers and two bronzes in mixed team events with long track speed skater theo collins also winning silver in the mixed team sprint final.

A full round up again with austin at 10. 30. Hope you can join us then. Goodbye. You will be aware that we have been dipping into the house of representatives in washington as
they have been debating that impeachment legislation. There has never been a vote on what will become of that impeachment legislation. You can probably see the figures they which indicate very, very strongly partisan voting on both sides of the house. The figures when you break them down our two to eight to 193 in favour of authorising two articles of impeachment against President Trump to be transmitted to the senate. That clears the way for a trial in the senate, the house approves seven house candidates who will be serving as managers. Preliminary actions in the senate trial are expected to commence later this week. The trial will be the third over of a us president to reach that stage. As we have been emphasising, when it gets to the senate there is a republican
majority in the senate and it is highly unlikely with a partisan voting that the impeachment will go any further than the senate. There is every chance the president will be acquitted at that point. That is the stage we are at in washington. The taal volcano, one of the most active in the philippines, is continuing to expel ash more than half a mile into the sky. Nearly 40,000 people have been moved out of the area because experts say a dangerous eruption could happen within hours, but despite that warning some people have been returning to their homes to check on the livestock. Our correspondent Howard Johnson sent this report. Theyve declared a state of calamity here, and its clear to see why. But despite the continued threat of a hazardous eruption, some people are returning to their family homes. Margie and noel vergas own a small plot of land in the vicinity of the volcano. They grow vegetables and breed chickens for a living. But their lives were turned
upside down on sunday when taal began erupting. Translation about four in the afternoon, we panicked. We saw a huge smoke cloud coming from the volcano and we could smell something awful. Ash began falling, with small stones and soil. We evacuated because some people said that there would be a tsunami on the lake next to the taal. We became scared. Noel said he wanted to return to his house today to check on his livestock. But he found that many of his birds were in a sorry state. So, noel is showing me a fighting cock here, its a popular sport in the philippines. The bird is covered in dust and ash. He said a lot of the birds were affected when he left his farm to seek safety in a shelter, an evacuation centre. Other chickens are in a bad state. Ive seen one in the back with what looks like a broken wing. The Philippine Department of agriculture says that the thick ash has caused more than 10 million worth of damage to livestock and crops. So, noel is showing us his vegetable patch, where he grows a squash. He says the condition of these plants now is so bad that he cant harvest them, and that he cant take them to market for sale. Today, state seismologists say although the eruptions in the main crater have been weaker in the last 2a hours, residents evacuated from the 1a kilometre danger zone should not be lulled into a false sense of security and return to their homes. Compared to the stormy conditions we had earlier in the week, it has been a quiet story. Some showers around but many areas got to see some sunshine. As we head into this evening, the nexus of a work its way
in. There is an area of low pressure developing in the atlantic. For many, we finished the day with clear skies. As the night progresses, this band of rain pushes into Northern Ireland and western scotland, the showers was gradually fading before this rain pushes in. While we have got clear skies come out to the west, particularly, temperatures will rise as we draw up mild southerly air. This is how thursdays shaping up. Itll be wet and windy across the board and heavy rain accompanied by gales into the irish sea. Windy everywhere really as this rain transfers its way eastwards through the day that i perhaps staying largely fine and dry in the daylight hours. Temperatures remain above average for the time of year. That band of rain clears eastwards as we head through thursday night, we are under the influence of this area of low pressure and it is closer to that
area of low pressure through friday, it will have blustery conditions. Away from that, it is a clearing up day. Fine weather, sunshine showers in the south but they should ease and fate as we head through the afternoon. Temperatures down on thursdays values but weve got some sunshine to compensate. There is a change on the cards as we head into the weekend, it is going to turn more settled. For many areas, that means drier with lighter winds than we have seen over the past week. For saturday, here is the game changer, an area of High Pressure that is going to be building in and becoming established over the uk through the weekend. Saturday, weve got a north westerly flow bringing in one or two showers which could be wintry over the hills but otherwise it is largely dry, lengthy spells of sunshine around, frost and possibly patches of fog could be an issue as we head into the weekend that a good deal of fine, dry weather. Temperatures are little doubt on
where they have been recently but plenty of sunshine. Youre watching beyond 100 days. Let the trial begin. The articles of impeachment are on the way to the senate. Democrats in the house vote to send the two charges abuse of power and obstruction of congress to the upper chamber. The senate trial will be only the third ever of a us president even if he isnt removed from office he will still have been impeached. It will be held accountable. He has been held accountable, he has been impeached, he has been impeached forever. They can never erase that. Is america ready to elect a woman president . Last nights democratic debate raised the question. How much longer
