Goalless, so that win puts newcastle top of group f after the first couple of matches. We had to try and unbalance them, we have to try and make it difficult for them to build from the back, we knew they would, that is the style, thats the philosophy of a brilliant manager, so had to try and unsettle them and if the crowd helped us do that. We delivered a really good pressing performance. We were man to man at the back against elite players, but for me, thats our best way, especially here, our best way to be successful and the players deserve a lot of credit for how the implement of that.

In his Conference Speech on wednesday, Prime Minister rishi sunak announced a plan to phase out smoking, saying it was the biggest Public Health intervention in a generation. His plan seeks to raise the legal age of smoking by a year every year, so that eventually no one can buy tobacco. But where might the Prime Ministers idea for a ban come from . Well, new zealand brought in its own significant anti smoking measures last december. It also implemented an annually rising smoking age, ensuring anyone born after 2008 will not be able to buy cigarettes or Tobacco Products in their lifetime. It will be accompanied by a range of other measures to make smoking less affordable and accessible, including dramatically reducing the legal amount of nicotine in Tobacco Products. The government is also significantly restricting where cigarettes can be sold to remove them from supermarkets and corner stores. The number of stores legally allowed to sell cigarettes is being reduced from 6,000 tojust 600 nationwide. New zealand is determined to achieve a National Goal of reducing its National Smoking rate to less than 5 by 2025, with the aim of eventually eliminating it altogether. Ive been speaking to ben youdan, whos the director of ash new zealand, thats action for smokefree 2025, a group that campaigns for Tobacco Control measures. I asked him how new zealands smoke free measures are going. We have seen absolutely huge decline in Smoking Rates in then we look at young people, for those who are 1a and 15, the smoking rate is now about 1 so its already incredibly low and weve seen some real success, particularly around recent policies around higher taxation, and also people switching towards vaping, which will put a big dent in the Smoking Rates here. It is these final and came policies that are the things that our government is really signalling when actually we need a line in the sand when tobacco has to end, its notjust about the last few smokers but generally having a horizon for smoking in the country. Its interesting that you mention vaping, because people watching this will know that this was something that cropped up yesterday in the aftermath of our Prime Ministers speech, because there is of course a lot of concern about the Health Impacts of vaping. So, how do you juggle impacts of vaping. So, how do you juggle that, how do you balance ensuring that people who are trying to quit smoking have access to vaping but also make sure that vaping but also make sure that vaping isnt accessible to people who are taking that up and scratch, really otherwise should be accessing it . ,. , � ,. , it . Yes, thats been a huge challenge. It . Yes, thats been a huge challenge, because it . Yes, thats been a huge challenge, because we it . Yes, thats been a huge l challenge, because we know, it . Yes, thats been a huge challenge, because we know, weve seen huge switching to vaping, particularly amongst our populations that have traditionally had very high Smoking Rates, so indigenous maori, particularly women, have had some biggest declines in smoking rate in a generation as a result of switching. Largely because for a long time we had no regulations, it was available to purchase all over the place, and its only very recently that the government alongside being much more aggressive on tobacco put in regulations around vaping, so we are battling with that challenge of making sure we still support people who are struggling with nicotine addiction from smoking to use a safe alternative. But making sure that particularly younger people are not taking up vaping, which is certainly happening, but not in significant numbers here. Ive also been speaking to professor Sanjay Agrawal whos chair of the Royal College of physicians tobacco advisory group. I asked him for his reaction to rishi sunak� s smoking crackdown. I think it is a Landmark Announcement and if we can follow in the footsteps of new zealand in the steps they have taken, it is to be congratulated. Preventing young people from taking up smoking is the single most important thing we can do and this announcement will support that. But in addition, we have 6. 5 million smokers in the uk and helping them to quit smoking is also really important, so the measures to increase the funding to local government stop Smoking Services is also really welcome. The entire package is an era defining set of measures that will allow the uk to be much more responsible for its Public Health and to prevent harm to the youngest and most Vulnerable People in society. I really welcome this announcement. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. For many of us, its been a pretty wet start to the day. Some heavy rain has been sweeping in from the west, pushing eastwards and its also rather breezy as well. Further south, though, after this mornings showers and drizzle, the rain moving away, Brightening Up across central and eastern parts of england, The Rain Moving Out of Northern Ireland, so itll brighten up here later as well. But still some rain pushing across parts of wales, Northern England and scotland. The wind will pick up through the day, particularly across the irish sea and also into western scotland. Through this evening and overnight, the rain continues into the northern isles. Weve got this trailing front across parts of england, wales and Northern Ireland, clipping southern scotland at times. But on either side of that, there will be variable amounts of cloud. Its not going to be as cold a start to the day tomorrow across Northern Scotland as it was this morning when temperatures were very close to freezing in places. So, a mild start to the day tomorrow. We still have this trailing front, if anything moving a little bit north with its rain. But on either side of it, there will be some sunshine and windy across the far north of scotland with temperatures in lerwick 13 degrees but creeping up in the southeast to about 22. Now, as we move from friday into saturday, this Weather Front has been giving us a real headache as to its position all week. This is what we think at the moment. It will be bringing Rain Steadily northwards across scotland. For the rest of england and wales and Northern Ireland and later in the day southern scotland, it will be a dry day with a fair bit of sunshine and feeling warm the further south that you are temperatures up to 25 or indeed 26 degrees. All this warm air is coming up from the near continent. High pressure trying to build in and push this rain away as we head in through sunday and into monday. How successful is it . Well, it will be across the far north of scotland, but it will also be windy on sunday. But for the rest of us, were looking at a dry day, a fine day, a fair bit of sunshine around. Temperatures in aberdeen, 1a degrees. Into the mid 20s, possibly 26, in the southeast. So, as you can see, well above average for the bulk of the uk for the time of year. But how long does it last . Well, in southern areas, it will last right the way into next week. But we do have a Weather Front sinking south and behind that well see some fresher conditions return with some rain.
