Northampton v Bath - HIGHLIGHTS | SIX Try Rout at Franklin's Gardens | Gallagher Premiership 2022/23 No heat applied by Jack Mokepiece to the timing of the box kick and the interminable caterpillar. This is taken well by DeGlanville. What a line that is from Reid. Lovely support running and Bayless hits the gas on the outside. Lovely work from DeGlanville. This is one of the great tries from Barth this season. Bit of a swallow dive to finish. Unexpected out of nowhere and the back row is combining down that right-hand flank to DeGlanville in and Barth have the opening score. That's a beautiful offload from DeGlanville. Not sure about the swallow dive. There's work to be done there. Yeah the ground off swallowed him up. Robbie Smith to Angerscot Young. Incremental headway being made. Enough to satisfy the referee for the time being. Extra bodies applied. Still they rumb...

Israeli minister calls for Palestinian town to be 'wiped out' Driving into Hawara now feels like you're approaching the front line of a war. Every time I've been here, the high street has been busy with people. But now the metal shutters are down and almost every shop is closed. The town is teeming with Israeli soldiers. The IDF has deployed more units to the West Bank in an effort to calm the tensions. But they're not welcome here. Look at these flashbangs and smoke grenades, Sultan Farouk tells me. He points out the Hebrew writing on them. They were fired towards our house by the soldiers. Why? We had children inside and we were the ones being attacked. The car yard he owns is next door. I count 79 burnt wrecks. The riot started after two young Israelis were shot dead by a Palestinian whilst driving through the town on Sunday. This CCTV shows masked settlers pi...

Ukraine War: Is the defence of Bakhmut a distraction? I'm joined now by the former senior military intelligence officer, Philip Ingram. Good to see you again, Philip. Now, of course, Russian forces have made some advances in recent days in Bakhmut, but on the whole, there's been very little movement on the front line in recent weeks and months. Why is that? Yeah, well, exactly. Day 374 of Vladimir Putin's 10-day Special Military Operation. And the Russians, we keep talking about this spring offensive. They're probing the front lines in different places. Bakhmut will more detail that in a moment, but further north, up around Kramina and in the south, around Donetsk, they're trying to see where their weakness is in the Ukrainian defences. And they're not really finding any. The things that are influencing at the moment, the weather, the ground is softening up. ...

'I turned off Netflix and went to fight': The Scot who went to war in Ukraine As a mother, it was very, very tough. A nightmare. He wanted to go and help, and I totally got all that. But I didn't like this feeling. And I didn't expect it to still be so. raw. Feeling so raw after it. They thought their boy might not return home from the front line in Ukraine. But Douglas did make it back to the family farm in South West Scotland. The helicopters are the worst. And you'll hear the. By this point you're crawling up the wall going, not today, please not today. He had no military training, but still decided he had to go. I was sat here actually drinking a beer, watching Netflix. I made my decision, packed up the stuff and left my job an awful lot. I'm young enough, I can contribute to a better world. He was known as Soap, a video game character, who was now ...

Press conference: O'Neil on Lerma fitness, team spirit and Liverpool's attacking threat Afternoon Gary. Hi Mark. Obviously last week was a real blow for you and the lads and the club having played so well at times at the Emirates. How much of a psychological coaching session have you had to do with the lads to pick them up? Because conceding in that manner, in that style, when there was so much at stake, clearly the lads would have been disappointed. Have you had to kind of lift them in a psychological way? I think the moment in the dressing room right after it was the toughest aspect. So speaking to the group about how I felt about the game at that moment, understanding where they were emotionally from that. But moving past that this week has just gone back to Liverpool coming. So from Monday the lads were ready to work, ready to go. So there was absolutely no hangover what...
