To publish the full report into the affair, many fear there could be more damaging revelations still to come. The lack of transparency doesnt end there. Saracens apparently choosing to accept automatic relegation rather than grant full access to their financial accounts. I think if saracens are serious about becoming open and trying to sort of claw back some of the goodwill or whatever you want to call it, then they need to make this public, they need to get all the dirty laundry out there and i think that will go some way to letting people start to forgive them. The dominant force in the english game, saracens dramatic downfall has sent shock waves through the sport. Their players must somehow now shift their focus from club to country but moving on from the sports greatest cheating scandal will not be easy. Dan roan, bbc news, twickenham. Both england coach chris silverwood
and captainjoe root have heaped praise on their youngsters following their innings victory over south africa in the third test in port elizabeth. Needing four wickets to win, it looked to be a quick morning session when three fell quickly ollie pope taking his sixth catch of the match to go with his first innings century. Kashav maharaj kept england waiting with an entertaining 71 but despite a 10th wicket stand of 99 he was last man out. Root was impressed by the maturity of the likes of pope and dom bess combined with the experience of ben stokes too. Right from the start, the opening partnership, challenging conditions and different conditions. Still challenging in many ways, it was quite hard to score. But at no point did they with them back in the game from there. At times where didnt quite happen as fluently as we want
to. But that partnership between ben and ollie was Something Else please to see ben continue to form hes in. And for a young lad like macklin to play that way and go through different gears in different stages, to really show everyone and he has shown quinces of it already but show eve ryo ne shown quinces of it already but show everyone that he belongs in this arena and on this stage. A young lad like ollie. Lets have quick look at some of the days football news. West brom failed to extend their lead at the top of the championship over leeds to four points, losing 1 0 to at home to stoke. Tyrese campbell scored the goal. His side are now four points clear of the relegation zone. The former england womens manager mark sampson has had a fa charge dismissed over the alleged use of racist language. Sampson is now a coach at stevenage. An independent commission has found that his case was not proven. And cardiff city fans will pay tribute to Emiliano Sala on the First Anniversary of the plane crash in which the argentine striker died. Sala was flying to cardiff from nantes when the plane he was in crashed into the english channel
on the 21st of january last year. To melbourne next, where after a couple of weeks of uncertainty the rain came, the smoke cleared, and the Australian Open started on time. There was a sense of deja vu on the Margaret Court arena, as the 15 year old american star, coco gauff beat Venus Williams in the first round. Just like she did at wimbledon last summer. Austin halewood reports. For coco gauff, this was the moment everything changed. An unknown 15 year old knocking Venus Williams out of wimbledon. The upset made her one of the sporting stars of 2019. From londons lawns to the hard courts in australia, a lot has changed in the last 12 months for coco gauff but a lot of things remain the same. Same round, same opponent and the same score. Coco gauff took control from the tie break. And taking control from there. Once again, a battle of the ages. Coco gauff was more than matched for everything the older pro had had. Venus had won four grand slam titles before coco gauff was born but she could not make that experience count. There were flashes of her best game but they were few and far between. Coco gauff wrapped it up in straight sets. Just like at wimbledon. The 15 year old claimed 619 places in the World Rankings in 2019. She is not finished there. My goal is to be the greatest and win as many grand slams as possible. I believe i can beat anyone. If it happens, i do not know. The great players, they do not fear anyone. As one of the greats
of the game heads home from Melbourne Park on day one, coco gauffs spectacular rise continues. Austin halewood, bbc news. Loads of other big names in action on a rainy first day at Melbourne Park. Roger federer went through to the second round with ease. Reigning champion, Novak Djokovic though was made to work a little harder. He had a bit of a wobble against Jan Lennard Struff from germany, and dropped the third set. But he sorted himself out to win the fourth and then the match relatively easily. Djokovic loves this tournament. Hes going for his 8th Australian Open title and his 17th grand slam win. Meanwhile, Serena Williams is chasing a record equalling 24th grand slam title. Shes through to the second round thanks to a rapid win over, anastasia potapova. They were on court for less than an hour. World number one, and home favourite ash barty is also through. What about the british
interests then . Dan evans is the first brit through to the second round after beating the american Mackenzie Mcdonald in five sets. John watson is out in melbourne for us. Of what was made about the opening of this facade a lot of this was made. The rain relief that lead tournament organisers had to deal with today. Lets discuss the british interest and dan evans. Russell four hour correspond with me. A big win for him in the british number one singles, coming from two sets down. That looked like it was going to be fairly straightforward when you saw the form of the two had been in recently. Seated here for the first time. Mcdonald had played one match since may after surgery on his hamstring. You would not have known it. He won the first two sets really aggressively, complete control. Evans was struggling. He said he felt a little bit sore and stiff today. He came through really, really well and one sets four and five fairly convincingly. He has come back from two sets
down to any grand match. We saw the rain affected things today. Really heavy rain and it meant we have not seen kyle edmund are likely to finish his match. Unlikely to finish his match. Frustrating for those in the locker room but they can be aware how desperately australia needs the rain at the moment. When it does come down in melbourne, it can come down very, very heavily indeed. As a result, good for content to be sent home early and not having to hang around. She looked at the forecast and there was unlikely she would play her game as she was on the court that does not have a roof. Hopefully we will be seeing more british playersjoining dan evans in the second
round tomorrow. We will speak to you again then. As russell was saying, the chance of more rain forecast over the coming days. More brelly weather for some people at the moment. Play at day two at the Australian Open starts at 11. 30 tonight you can follow all the latest on the bbc sport website. Thats all from sportsday. Coming up in a moment, the papers. Hello, welcome to our look at what is in the newspapers tomorrow morning. In me at the studio to look at the front pages the debbie
political editor of the given telegraph. I think i pronounce that right, and more so become a david davis, the writer and broadcaster. Youre both welcome. Lets assure the front pages we have in at the moment. The ft leads on the imf downgrading its forecast for Global Economic growth. The paper says it casts a shadow over the World Economic forum in the swiss resort of devils. Tamara s metro has got a place to get tough on terrorists from borisjohnson. Place to get tough on terrorists from Boris Johnson. And place to get tough on terrorists from borisjohnson. And putting a plan to end Early Release for dangerous offenders. The guardian forecasts perilous times ahead for the bbc as ward hall said he would stand down as director general. It carries a front page picture of a giant dust storm menacing the australian town in new south wales. The i newspaper leading the row over hs2 with certain mps in the north
against the High Speed Rail project. The mayor says jeremy against the High Speed Rail project. The mayor sasteremy bamber was jefferson and his whole family, new evidence shows that he is not guilty. And dragging its feet over trade talks with united kingdom. Lets kick off david. The metro, the end ofan lets kick off david. The metro, the end of an era, a rather bad pun i have to say facet the metro usually have to say facet the metro usually have good headlines but that is not one of the best i would say. It is, andl one of the best i would say. It is, and i want to be sympathetic like a lot of people who would with harry and meghan. I suspect theyre both very good people. I was lucky enough to know harrys elder brother rather better so years ago. If what is really behind everything in the 14 pages that one of the newspaper
said this morning on this story, if they really have got this desire for a more peaceful life, then everybody will wish them well. But one has to humbly point out that if there are other people in life who woos and have the awful tragedy of losing a pa re nt have the awful tragedy of losing a parent at very young ages. Is the level of scrutiny that harry talked about again last night really such a surprise to him . And if that is the case, when did it become a surprise . To become a surprise in this past. If he does want to do the job, he does want to do it, does any quiz ever from does want to do it, does any quiz everfrom his does want to do it, does any quiz ever from his speech does want to do it, does any quiz everfrom his speech present does want to do it, does any quiz ever from his speech present which was quite remarkable and it was hard to not feel moved whatever you think of the whole debacle he spoke from the heart there is saying that he
has been. This has been for him something that has built for a long time probably before megan, simply one w of the commentators who wrote a very good piece about how he told her years ago he wants to get out. I think the way it is been handled by some clever pr from canada or america or california and they dont really understand that this is not something where you can just do a glossy press release and be quite clever about it. David when you see one piece of pathetic that asks chilli you want to but you are not . Stuck away in all the endless coverage not only in the uk, i was in europe last week and it is all over the press in europe and of course in the states and in australia as well. I seen twice, three times this suggestion that harry reads everything both in the traditional media and indeed on
social media that seems to be ever written about him. A comment on the pieces that has been talked about a lot. If that is really true. Having had a good bit of experience in a different world of wacky football and sport of managers, i use to plead with managers do not read this stuff. Its kind of hard not to suppose, isnt it . Well, there were one or two people who were supposed to be thick skinned who were the opposite. Thats one thing, and i dont think harry doesnt appear to me to be particularly thick skinned, but he is also not particularly in this area resilient. And thats a different thing. Boris johnson, blitz on terror and this is following the attack in november at fish mongers hall in london bridge. Tough or treatment for terrace, borisjohnson promising
tough or treatment for terrace, Boris Johnson promising and tough or treatment for terrace, borisjohnson promising and he talked about that at the time longer prison terms, why detector tests to check that people have reformed when they want to be released. This is pa rt they want to be released. This is part of the governments hole we are tough on crime. Shades of tony blair. Borisjohnson, tough on crime. Shades of tony blair. Boris johnson, priti tough on crime. Shades of tony blair. Borisjohnson, priti patel have been very clear theyre going to on particularly violent offenders, Early Release and we are getting some indication of the measures theyre going to take doing that. I do find it the inclusion of lie detector tests which have widely discredited repeatedly slightly strange. This is in exactly the super clever blue sky thinking Dominic Cummings was talk about because it was tried in the 90s. This weekend we had one of your fellow newspapers saying boris, where is the beef . How many weeks ago was it that we had a general
election and of course we had christmas and new year, but this presumably is part of the beef. That was the mail on the sunday editorial. It was interesting because the point it was making we are quitea because the point it was making we are quite a few days into the first 100 days, 30 something days in and you would have expected announcements. I spoke to kyser cover the blair era as well and a penny back at that point, they were press releases announcing every week. And here instead, we have been pending and essence of what they would do with huawei, on hs2, a pending decision on. We have had the christmas and new year holiday so. The christmas and new year holiday so. Butl the christmas and new year holiday so. But i think part of what this is about is the honeymoon period of the great big maturity and breaking of the labour redwall which was a very big deal with that election and gave the government a huge mandate. That honeymoon period will end and
thatis that honeymoon period will end and that is why a
