We will have more on all of those stories. First, though, lets head to the bbc sport centre, round up the sport. Good afternoon. The england and both report have announced a new regulator sport and complete lead change the game. It is in response to a report earlier this or that outlined racism, sexism and elitism in cricket. Here is dan roan. The game has undergone a period of soul searching over the last free months, and nowhere has that process been more relevant or painful than inherent headingley, the county was engulfed in a racism scandal two years ago. It was heavily criticised for the way that it handled the allegations of its former player azeem rafiq, and it was fine hundred of thousands of pounds and docked 48 points in the County Championship by the ecb earlier this year, but this this scandal spreads well be on one county, because three months ago, the independent commission for equity in cricket produced a damning report that found that the game across england and wales had deep rooted racism, sexism and elitism. It urged the sport to reset and it gave it 44 recommendations. Medially at that point the ecb apologised and is valid to make Transformative Change and become the most Inclusive Sport in the country. Azeem rafiq, whose experience of racism led to major changes and sanctions at yorkshire, gave his reaction to the ecb response today. I think they accepted the recommendations, the clarity around they were going implement it and i think reading the response, theres a couple of positives, but on a large basis, i think it lacks a lot of detail. Disappointing and a little bit frustrating. Team europe captain luke donald says his side have their work cut out to win the ryder cup two years on from that Crushing Defeat overseas. The competition gets started on friday with the foursomes. Donald says its not out of the question that some of his players could feature in all five sessions, however says, even for a player in form, the schedule can be a real challenge. It isa it is a long build up, the ryder cup. These next few days, theres a lot of team dinners and practice in dealing with crowds, and its mentally pretty sapping. I remember as a player that you were really ready to go by friday, so im wary of some of that. I will certainly be considering that, but it is not out of the question that some people may play five. Australia have slipped to tenth in the world after their 60 6 thrashing by wales at the Rugby World Cup last night, their lowest ever world ranking. Having already lost to fiji, they will need to win their remaining group match against portugal and hope other scores go their way to stand any chance of advancing to the knockouts. The pressure is ramping up on the head coach eddiejones. He says they need to take a close look at australian rugby in general. Im a im a proud australian. I hate to see australian rugby do as poorly as we have been doing, particularly under my rain. I came back to try to help, but it is not on the wallabies and have to improve, we have to improve the entire system australian rugby. And that is not an excuse, but we have to have a really look at ourselves and see what we have to do to improve the way we are going about our rugby. In Rugby League Super league, Huddersfield Giants have signed winger adam swift from hull fc. The 30 year old has penned a three year deal at thejohn smiths stadium after scoring 36 tries in 55 appearances for the black and whites. Swift enjoyed his best season this summer to take the clubs player of the season award. And thats all the sport for now. We will see you later. Thanks very much. 0n the third day of their autumn conference, liberal Democrat Supporters have voted to retain a National Housing target as part of its policy, going against the wishes of Party Leadership. It is interesting and we will have more on that in a moment, but earlier in the day, the bbc� s helen catt spoke to the leader ed davey. He responded to allegations that his party is playing it safe with its new manifesto. I think our radical policies to have free personal care, to massively increase gps, so we take pressure off hospitals so people get a gp appointment, these are very different from the conservatives and i think single us out as championing the nhs and care. And theres reasons to do that in and of itself, so people get Better Health care, but theres another reason to do it, and thats our economy. Something people have forgotten about is that under the conservatives, weve seen a lot of people who are working, but they fall ill, they go onto long waiting lists, they cant see their gps and are not able to go back into the workforce. If weve got to grow our economy again, we have to sort out our nhs. And this is a link that hasnt been made. It needs to be made. I hear it from employers, i hear it from businesses. They want to make sure that people, their staff, when they get sick, can see a doctor quickly so they can return to work. So, actually, i would like to ask you about something that was in your Pre Manifesto. 0n the eu, it does say explicitly that eu membership remains our longer term objective. Does it . Well, ive always said that we are a pro european party. Ive always said that britain needs to be back at the heart of europe. But i equally have said that, at the moment, thats certainly not on the table. Youve been very clear about that, but were not talking about at the moment. I mean, this very clearly says in black and white, your longer term objective is to rejoin the eu. I think people will be puzzled as to why, if its here in black and white, youre reluctant to say out loud. I think i am talking about britain being closer to europe than the conservatives have done. This is about specifically membership. Because at the next election, im talking about what we would do in the next parliament. This is the Pre Manifesto that has been voted on by your members. Yeah, im very happy to go into detail. Listen, i mean, we voted againstjohnson� s trade deal because we said it would be damaging to our economy. Unfortunately, labour didnt, but Liberal Democrats did, because we predicted the damage it would do. And what weve been saying is in order to rebuild that relationship and rebuild that trust, we need to make sure that were bringing down the Trade Barriers that are damaging our industry, that are meaning that our farmers are having a tough deal. These are the sorts of things that we need to do as quickly as we can, but thats going to require a completely different approach to europe from the conservatives, rebuilding that trust, gradually rebuilding that relationship. And, forgive me, youve spoken about this at quite some length over this weekend, in a number of interviews, but it is that point, isnt it . If youve got this in black and white, that it says eu membership remains our long term objective, there are members of your party who want you to say that more clearly, and they wonder why youre not. And its that sort of question of, well, who are you not being straight with here . Are you not being straight with members, who think that is your long term objective because they voted it through, or are you not being quite straight with voters because you dont want to scare off perhaps those in leave voting constituencies . I wish the other parties would be as clear as we are on their policies. You know, we publish draft manifestos, we debate them openly. I give interviews with some detail. We have a four stage approach to rebuilding britains relationship with europe. Its a very serious matter because it deals with businesses, it deals with jobs, it deals with the security of our country, tackling crime. We could not be more detailed. I think the void in british politics is hearing from the other parties about what on earth they would do. Ed davey. Lets go live to bournemouth.

The leadership wanted it to be 150,000 social and council homes, and that came as something of an upset, there was quite a heated debate. Lets just check to the partys chief whip wendy chamberlain. Disappointed that went against the leadership . I am not disappointed. Went against the leadership . I am not disappointed. What i would say is it was not disappointed.

No cancellations are expected on tuesday, the 26th, saturday, the 30th of september, and he cancellations amount to around 3 of planned departures at gatwick over the period.

Easyjet will be the most affected, with ba and ryanair also cancelling flights. Around 30 of air Traffic Control staff are not available apparently and as a result, we have decided that we needed to take action from an airport perspective, and he goes on to concede there might be an increased risk of delays to other flights also this week, so that is important Breaking News from gatwick. 82 departures affected after a Covid Outbreak in air Traffic Control and they will try to work out, starting tomorrow, which actual flights are work out, starting tomorrow, which actualflights are going work out, starting tomorrow, which actual flights are going to be impacted.
