A former Tottenham Hotspur footballer, who was the victim of racist abuse during a womens championship match injanuary of this year, has told the bbc she has no regrets in reporting it despite sinking into depression as a result of online abuse. The Football Association found that renee hector was racially abused by Sheffield Uniteds sophiejones who was then banned for five games despite her denials. 0ur Sports Correspondent Katie Gornall spoke exclusively to hector and joins us now. What did she tell you, katie . She said she had no regrets. She felt it was important to take a stand about this, but it is clear that the whole incident and aftermath of it has really taken a toll on her, because there was a lot of attention around this when the news emerged. There hadnt been an incident like this reported in womens football before. It all dates back to a game injanuary when spurs, who were chasing promotion in the womens championship, were up against a field united for the first time in the season. At around half time, renee hector was going up for a corner when she heard monkey noises directed at her. She said she froze in shock when she heard them. She later reported that to the referee, and that set in motion an fa inquiry and hearing which resulted in sophie jones fa inquiry and hearing which resulted in sophiejones being found guilty of racist abuse and band for five games, and hit with a £200 fine as well. Another side to this, as sophiejones continues to protest her innocence. But there was a big backlash against renee hector on social media, the trolling online took its toll. Shes not spoken about any of this before, and she gave me her account of everything that has happened. It didntjust it didnt just affect it didntjust affect me, it affected my family at home, as well. I wasjust sort affected my family at home, as well. I was just sort of spiralling out of control. I started seeping into depression, really, because i think there was a lot of insecurities that i had already, and that wasjust highlighted for the world to see. The punishment was a five game band, £200 fine an educational course she needs to attend. It is now a six game band. Is that a fitting punishment for racist abuse . In my opinion, i dont think so. I think five games for someone is a month and a week of not playing football. Soldo and a week of not playing football. So i do think for any racist incident, whether it be men or womens football, i think the punishment needs to be a bit stronger because if anybody is thinking about making a racist remark or racially abusing someone, they need to know that they are going to be punished significantly. Has any of this put you off reporting racist abuse in the future . If the same thing were to happen to me again tomorrow, i would do the exact same thing. Because one thing i do know is i stayed true to myself. I was honest, and thats all ican do, myself. I was honest, and thats all i can do, really. Take Raheem Sterling for example, he is out there as an advocate to fight against racism in football, but it shouldntjust be against racism in football, but it shouldnt just be him. Against racism in football, but it shouldntjust be him. There needs to be more people stepping forward and helping to fight the cause. And thats what i felt like i wanted to do and needed to do, and i would do it all over again. Despite helping spurs get promoted, renee hector was released at the end of the season. She now has a new clu b of the season. She now has a new club and is looking forward to the start of the womens championship. As for sophiejones, start of the womens championship. As for sophie jones, she start of the womens championship. As for sophiejones, she has her contracts terminated at Sheffield United by a mutual consent. She is 110w united by a mutual consent. She is now left football, but she has also given herfirst now left football, but she has also given her first interview on this. In the hearing she was found to have lied to conceal wrongdoing, that was the wording from the hearing. But she continues to say shes not guilty. Is not nice when you put my name in google and it comes up on the bbc that im a racist and ive been charged with racism. I feel like thatis charged with racism. I feel like that is something that no one should ever go through. And like i said, i had people come to me in the streets and in the gym ifeel like if had people come to me in the streets and in the gym i feel like if this we nt and in the gym i feel like if this went to the police, it wouldnt have gone this far because i would never have been proven guilty. Because again, iwas have been proven guilty. Because again, i was charged in a category by the fa, its gone this far, and i feel like no one should ever be put through what ive been put through. Sophiejones ending sophie jones ending the sophiejones ending the interview there. Its the uefa super cup tonight, the match that sees the Champions League winners face the Europa League winners. So this year its liverpool against chelsea in istanbul, lets head live there now to speak to jane dougal at very early days in the season, but you never want to turn down silverware and particularly for chelsea who had that tough loss to Manchester United at the weekend. A chance of silverware . Why not . Weve just been hearing the cheers from the hundreds of fans behind me who have gathered behind the stadium, because both team coaches have just arrived. Its a huge amount of fans who have gathered here, not just from amount of fans who have gathered here, notjust from england but all over the world. Lots of different accents weve been hearing, all either with their liverpool strips on 01 either with their liverpool strips on or chelsea strips on. This is the First Time Ever that to english teams have met in the super cup final. The last english team to win it was liverpool in 2001. Its been in spainforthe it was liverpool in 2001. Its been in spain for the last five years and one by spanish clubs. We know this year it will be an english club who ta kes year it will be an english club who takes it on, wejust year it will be an english club who takes it on, we just dont know which one. Liverpool have had lots of success in istanbul, so this city holds a special place in their hearts. It was in 2005 that they won the Champions League. Jurgen klopp is very aware of that, and hes also starting to get a taste for lifting european trophies, so he has said he will be putting out his best side tonight. As for Frank Lampard, this isa tonight. As for Frank Lampard, this is a chance for silverware in only his second ever match as manager at chelsea. Dont forget in his first competitive match as a manager at chelsea, they lost to Manchester United. So to win silverware at this point in the season would do wonders for morale in both the players, fans, and Frank Lampard himself. It would also set the tone for the rest of the season. This would be a momentous occasion for european football because the referee and her two assistant referees tonight are female. This will be the first time ina female. This will be the first time in a mens major european final. Stephanie for a part will be refereeing alongside manuela nicolosi, an italian who works in league own, and michelle 0neill nicolosi, an italian who works in league own, and Michelle Oneill is the second assistant. But stephanie has already been Ground Breaking because she was the first ever woman to referee in france. Shes well known for her calm demeanour. Shes also incredibly fit, as well. So it will be very interesting to see how she takes charge tonight. As i mentioned, lots of fans gathering here behind me, we know theyjust started to file inside the stadium. Liverpool fans at the moment certainly outnumber the chelsea fans. But that being said, there are lots of fans from other countries. We look forward to this match. Jane dougal in istanbul, thank you very much. Well, history will be made at the super cup when Stephanie Frappart becomes the first woman to referee a major european mens game. She has already officiated in league un in france last season and also took charge of the womens World Cup Final in july. Lets speak to former referee Janie Frampton now. How significant a moment is this . It is absolutely momentous. For yea rs, it is absolutely momentous. For years , we it is absolutely momentous. For yea rs, we have it is absolutely momentous. For years, we have looked for this opportunity to see a woman on such a huge stage in mens football. I cannot still believe its here. Ive been asked this question for years and years when is the first time a woman will get on the league or premier league as a referee . When will the first woman referee a Mens International game . Here we are talking about it, its happening why do you think the moment is now . What is different . I think football has changed and become far more open and aware about women. And theyve almost set aside gender and looked at the skill sets. And i think thats taken some very strong decisions along the way with our decisions along the way with our Decision Makers at the top end of the game, because before they always used to say mens football, womens football, and as we know our international legalists are men and womens for the internationalists. And actually have this crossover now where theyve looked at stephanies skill sets and experience and said she has this on merit. Regardless of her gender. Where do we think the future will be for young referees coming through, potentially female seeing stephanie on the bigger stage . Will there be more women involved in the Grassroots Level . |j would involved in the Grassroots Level . would hope so. And i think Something Like this, we all need role models. And to see Stephanie Frappart up there, we have to see these women as role models now it makes it open to girls and women to think they can achieve the highest levels now alongside their male counterparts. So hopefully that will act as a recruitment and retention tool for Grassroots Level. Absolutely. Thank you very much forjoining us, Janie Frampton, former referee. An interim report from air accident investigators says the footballer Emiliano Sala had been exposed to harmful levels of Carbon Monoxide before a fatal plane crash over the channel. The report says it is likely the pilot, David Ibbotson, was also exposed to the gas, potentially reducing his ability to fly the aircraft. The footballer was flying from france to cardiff when the plane crashed. Tomos morgan has more on this. Today weve had a special bulletin release that seems to show that the toxicology tests done on emiliano sanas body show that the level of Carbon Monoxide was so great, he couldve caused a seizure, unconsciousness, 01 a couldve caused a seizure, unconsciousness, or a heart attack. They also believe that David Ibbotson likely would have also been suffering from exposure to the gas. No usually they say that a level of around 50 of the gas in an individual could generally be potentially fatal, and they found it was a level of around 58 in salas body back then. Responding to the news today, the family of the argentinian have again called on the aa ib to pull the wreckage from the water. So a full investigation of the plane can take place so they can fully understand what happened to the two individuals when that plane crashed back injanuary. Now with the organisation says they will continue to look into how exactly the gas was able to penetrate the cockpit of the plane, and theyve also now advised pilots to install carpet monoxide monitors so pilots can be alerted to any potential deadly threat in the future Carbon Monoxide. After losing the first test to australia, today was the day that england were to get their ashes campaign back on track. Day one of the second test at lords. But the weather had other ideas. Heavy rain all day forced play to be abdandoned without a ball being bowled, and sheltering under an umbrella for most the day was our correspondentjoe wilson. Shortly before az30pm local time, the umpires made the announcement, the umpires made the announcement, the decision which seemed inevitable from our first glimpse of the Weather Forecast here this morning. Player been in for the day. But the weather teased and tormented us at one stage, the empires were happy. The covers were off, we had a toss democrat coin toss scheduled for 3pm. But when it came across, the covers a re 3pm. But when it came across, the covers are back on in the rain return. But that gave. It was brucejordan return. But that gave. It was bruce jordan who performed return. But that gave. It was brucejordan who performed that honour and duty, and jordan is in many way archers mentor and cricket in england. Draw offer archer at some point tearing into dismiss these myths, that could be the dynamic of this whole ashes series. As for this test match, england 1 0 down and now having to win it in four days instead of five. And thats assuming there are no further interruptions for rain. We certainly cant guarantee it.

We are ready to play now. We didnt have a game a week ago, albeit a training game against attenborough. You can tell the players love to play and they are ready to play now. The standout name on the play she does Duncan Taylor, the saracens player has not appeared for scotland since the summer of 2017 after that nightmare injury. Its been two years with back, concussion, kneeling problems. Duncan has hardly played at all. But we made it clear from the outset that we value his ability in other areas, so that we value his ability in other areas, so much that they were able to take that risk on him.

Daisy now has a new connection with the nfl. You may member how he wrapped about saying no to the super bowl, but now his company rock nation have come on board to enhance the live game experiences and amplify the lea ks the live game experiences and amplify the leaks socialjustice efforts. What does that mean and how surprising is this partnership was my earlier i caught up with cindy from the Washington Post secular the nfl has been looking for ways to help along the partnership with players. On the one hand, owners are doing fundraisers with donald trump and supporting donald trump and his reelection campaign. But on the other hand, the nfl would like to kind of move along on the social justice like to kind of move along on the socialjustice initiative that is so important to players. That is what jayz important to players. That is what jay z brings to the table here, he has boycotted the nfl prospect super bowl shows, saying he wont do them. This may help get better and younger talent. The nfl has had some problems getting exciting talent on the super bowl shows ever since the call and cabinet controversy. Its sort of been mutually beneficial to most. But in a way because of all that, is it surprising that we are seeing these two entities come together . It was certainly an attention getting announcement. You look at jay z and wonder why he would want to get involved with the nfl . On the other hand, jay z is a pragmatic businessman. He has said you will do business with people that you dont always agree with, and hes going to get his ex book on the super bowl shows. The nfl probably wouldve preferred last year to maroon five, acts like rihanna or pink. Folks like jay z have said they would not do the half time show because of the kaerpernick thing. You mentioned collin kaerpernick, and i suppose thatis collin kaerpernick, and i suppose that is the big question around this, because the
