You have to analyse the game, the problems and then you have to move forward, but also give solutions for the problems. The team is moving forward, but yes, we had to make adjustments as well. Yeah, there were shortages in our game definitely, but i think also, there were positive points. At the end of the day, its only about results and we didnt get a result when we were looking for it.

Jersey reds� Premiership Rugby cup game against Ealing Trailfinders on friday has been cancelled after the Channel Islands club ceased trading last week.

To gymnastics now and the World Championships at which the first medals will be won in belgium later on tuesday. Max whitlock is a part of the Great Britain team in antwerp, as he marks his return to the sport. The three time Olympic Champion took time off after tokyo, where he won pommel horse gold. But says the decision to step away is one he has benefited from. My love for the sport has come back i suppose even more than it was before tokyo, which is nice, i have returned with almost a refreshed feeling almost like a younger version of myself, back where i was competing years and years ago, which is nice. So i think that has been really nice. But i think, yes, there is huge positives coming back and one thing particularly as gymnastics gives me such a real sense of purpose. Max whitlock there. And thats all the sport for now. Now its time for your questions answered. Welcome back to bbc news. And now, were going to take some time to answer your questions about the hs2 rail link. Its one of the biggest single uk Infrastructure Projects ever planned and, if everything had gone as originally hoped, it would have run from london, via birmingham, on separate legs to manchester and leeds. But the line to leeds has already been scrapped, and now there are Big Questions over whether the leg from birmingham to manchester will also be cancelled or delayed in the face of rising costs. Many voices, including several within the conservatives, say that pulling the plug on the project would paint the uk in a very bad light. The question has become a theme at the conservative Party Conference but the Prime Minister is maintaining that no decision has yet been made. I know theres a lot of speculation on this, but what i can say is ill approach this the same way i approach everything thoughtfully, carefully, across the detail, and making what i believe is the right decision in the long term for our country. So, no decision yet. Hs2 or high speed 2, to give it its full name was first announced in 2009, thats six years before mr sunak was first elected as an mp. So what are the pros and cons . Well, put simply, many of those who back the project, say that pullling the plug would send the world the message that the uk isnt a reliable place to make investments. And several politicians in the north of england say it would be a slap in the face for any levelling up plans, to spend billions improving links from the midlands to the south east and leave their region out. The main argument against its all to do with money. Costs have spirralled. And with the uk currently facing its highest taxes on record, the argument is being made that funds could be used elsewhere. Youve been sending us your questions, and weve assembled a panel of experts to provide the answers. With me now are lois norris, a barrister who lives In Manchester and regularly commutes by rail from there to birmingham and beyond. Jeremy acklam is a Transport Expert with the institution of engineering and technology. And theo leggett, our Business Reporter who covers all modes of transport for us. Thanks to all of you for being here with us. Lets get through as many questions in the next half hour as we can. Lets start with sylvia, In Manchester, whos contacted to say, why is it taking so long for the leg to manchester to get under way when construction between london and birmingham started a while ago . Lois, to you first of all, because you use this rail network all the time is that a question you regularly asked, as well . Time is that a question you regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel like regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel like we regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel like we wish regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel like we wish it i regularly asked, as well . Yes, it sometimes feel like we wish it would be here tomorrow. But i think in fairness to the scheme, manchester was the last leg to be built, first one to go, sadly. So although it feels like its a long time away in the future, i think thats one of the future, i think thats one of the points for me. Rishi sunak said today he would be thinking about it in the long term, but i dont think it was scheduled to take place at the manchester part until 2030 or after that. So it does feel a long time, but its an important investment for our future, time, but its an important investment for ourfuture, i time, but its an important investment for our future, i think. Jeremy, can i put the same question to you, why has it taken so long . 0ne to you, why has it taken so long . One of the reasons the whole project is taking one of the reasons the whole project is taking a one of the reasons the whole project is taking a long time in the uk, when is taking a long time in the uk, when compared to other lines in china when compared to other lines in china and when compared to other lines in china and france, is because we have a very china and france, is because we have a very crowded country. We have a lot of a very crowded country. We have a lot of land. A very crowded country. We have a lot of land. A a very crowded country. We have a lot of land, a lot of buildings that will get lot of land, a lot of buildings that will get in lot of land, a lot of buildings that will get in the way. You cant simply will get in the way. You cant simply not peoples houses downjust at a whim simply not peoples houses downjust at a whim. You have to go through a careful at a whim. You have to go through a careful Planning Process and it takes careful Planning Process and it takes time, thats why its complex in the takes time, thats why its complex in the uk takes time, thats why its complex in the uk. But with the right vision and meet in the uk. But with the right vision and project management, you can deliver and project management, you can deliver that, and project management, you can deliverthat, itjust and project management, you can deliver that, itjust takes and project management, you can deliver that, it just takes a while longen deliver that, it ust takes a while loner. , longer.

Turning to the next question, because it cuts to the core of the political argument, mick has contacted to say, why has the cost of the project risen so sharply . It seems to be ahead of inflation for several years. So thatis inflation for several years. So that is a really key question. Theo, to you first, what are the official explanations .
