thank you, laura. misery of headingley. thank you, laura- laura _ misery of headingley. thank you, laura. laura scott. _ the education secretary nadhim zahawi has apologised for what he called the mistake that led to the government u—turn on reforming the commons standards system. the conservative mp at the centre of the row, owen paterson, resigned, after the government changed its mind about blocking his suspension from parliament for breaking lobbying rules. let's speak to our political correspondent ione wells. ione, the government says the u—turn is the right thing to do and it begs the question why they tried to do what they did in the first place. that's exactly right. some mps and ministers never thought it was a goodideain ministers never thought it was a good idea in the first place to try and overhaul the system, tojudge mps' conduct and overturn the suspension of owen paterson. now that this u—turn has happened, there has been a big backlash with some mps feeling like they were hung out to dry yesterday by their own bosses. this morning the education se

but the ramifications of this remarkable saga now extend well beyond headingley. dan roan reporting, who's at headingley, and says yorkshire county cricket club is in absolute turmoil. the way that things have unravelled here, sophie, the nature of the implosion at yorkshire is like nothing i can recall in sport. in the space ofjust a few days�* time, this club has lost pretty much all of its sponsors, its right to host international matches, its chairman, half of the board, there is allegations against two of the biggest names to play here in recent years. tonight, there is another revelation around the head coach, andrew gale, being investigated by both yorkshire and the ecb over an alleged anti—semitic tweet in 2010. and the fear, i think, is that this case has perhaps exposed an ugly side to the game. certainly, when you look at professional football, this sport seems to suffer from much less diversity, and underrepresentation of non—white players, a fear, perhaps, as a result of this, that it has exposed that this sport is in some way out of kilter with

no international matches at headingley. that's good to be a | at headingley. that's good to be a big financial penalty for the club. i begin to be able to get through it and how difficult a decision was not to make in particular the section on international matches? it’s international matches? it's unprecedented _ international matches? it�*s unprecedented action and clearly significant financial implications for your check county cricket club. right now the implications for the wider game is far more substantial. this is an implication for what cricket stands for, the values we hold as a game and the message we want to send to dance across this country and overseas. this message is really clear that we will not stand discrimination and racism has no part in our sport. so stand discrimination and racism has no part in our sport.— no part in our sport. so what is our no part in our sport. so what is your check— no part in our sport. so what is your check county _ no part in our sport. so what is your check county cricket - no part in our sport. so what

laura scott, many i thanks indeed, live from headingley. as laura was mentioning, so many from within the game have come forward to pass comment. the former england spinner monty panesar spoke to the bbc today. it is an interesting debate, because some people are saying that if you call an australian and ozzie, a new zealander key we, british persian brits, but a pakistani or british asian, why can we not because of the p word? i think that is a distinction that needs to be made here, you cannot advocate it is ok to use the p word because it is termed as banter, because people will search using it and a lot of people will get deeply offended, especially the british asians, so this is very much about rafiq and how yorkshire have dealt with his case, and they have actually have not provided the support he was looking for, and it was brave or gary ballance to come out, but i think yorkshire had made a complete mess of this and really did not understand context of this situation, the allegations that rafiq made, and when you get the companies w

the ecb has banned headingley from hosting england matches, but hutton said the governing body should have done more to support the investigation. i heard a statement last night from the ecb that they repeatedly offered to help me and yorkshire county cricket club through this investigation. that couldn't be further from the truth. yorkshire batsman gary ballance had admitted repeatedly using a racial slur towards rafiq about his pakistani heritage, but a panel regarded it as "friendly banter" and no action has been taken against any member of staff, sparking outrage. do you accept that conclusion that they reached? that it was friendly banter? is that how you would deem that expression, that phrase, towards a colleague? no, if you are using that language, it is completely unacceptable... so why was there no action taken? because you have not seen the context of the whole of the report — and the club had legal advice that actually, that was not something that you could take disciplinary action in relation to. is ballance the only current member of staff that there has been an allega

amid more resignations at headingley today, hutton blamed senior management who, he said, resisted change after a report found rafiq had suffered racial harassment. there was a failure by many in the club to accept its findings or understand them or recognise them and since then that has been incredibly frustrating. the england and wales cricket board punished yorkshire by banning headingley from hosting england matches, but hutton said it should have done more to support the investigation. i heard a statement last night from the ecb that they repeatedly offered to help me and yorkshire county cricket club do this investigation. that could not be further from the truth. yorkshire batsman gary ballance had admitted repeatedly using a racial slur towards rafiq about his pakistani heritage, but a panel regarded it as friendly banter and no action has been taken against any member of staff, sparking outrage. do you accept that conclusion that they reached? that it was friendly banter? is that how you would deem that expression, that phrase, towards a colleague? if you are using that language,

our sports editor dan roan reports from headingley. it's the most successful club in the history of county cricket, but yorkshire is now engulfed in a racism scandal centred on former player azeem rafiq. an independent panel found the spin bowler had been the victim of racial harassment and bullying while at the club. yorkshire apologised, but took no action against any member of staff, and political pressure has been intensifying. what we've read is deeply shocking and one of the most disturbing events in modern cricket history, in my view. i can think of very few reasons why the board of yorkshire cricket club should remain in place. after a leak of the investigation�*s findings, it emerged that a current yorkshire player repeatedly used a racially offensive term towards rafiq about his pakistani heritage, but the panel regarded it as friendly banter, sparking an outcry. tonight, after mounting speculation, former england star gary ballance revealed he was the player concerned. in a statement the yorkshire batsman said... earlier,
