now, if you thought f1 was a bit predictable, that it wasn't that exciting watching max verstappen win race after race after race, you'd not be on your own, but allow the miami grand prix to be the antidote to that certainty of outcome as britain's lando norris picked up his maiden formula 1 victory. he capitalised on a mid—race safety car to stay ahead of verstappen and then impressively pulled clear to take the chequered flag for the first time. having joined mclaren in 2017, it was an emotional victory for all in papaya orange and the 24—year—old was quick to praise the team behind him. finally i have been able to manage to do it, i have finally been able to do it, i have finally been able to deliver for my team. a long day, tough race, but finally on top, some over the moon. i'm just proud,

really. i guess a lot of people doubted me along the way. i've made a lot of mistakes in my short career but today we put it all together, so todayis but today we put it all together, so today is for the team. i stuck with mclaren because i believe in them, and today proved exactly that. massive congratulations to lando. i won my— massive congratulations to lando. i won my first grand prix with mclaren, _ won my first grand prix with mclaren, i know how special it is to -et mclaren, i know how special it is to get that_ mclaren, i know how special it is to get that first one. at mclaren, well, _ get that first one. at mclaren, well, i'm — get that first one. at mclaren, well, i'm really, really happen for them _ norris�* win was a popular one in the fi paddock. indeed it's only the third time in 2a races that a man not named verstappen has stood on the top step of the podium. so was this race just a blip for red bull? what has the result done for norris�* standing in the sport. i caught up with our fi reporterjennie gow earlier. i think he has been so well regarded within the driver circles. we saw all of the drivers come up to him,

clapping, hug him. the reaction was amazing and i think it is because he is one of the best drivers out there, simple as that. getting this win after 110 tries will lead to more wins, will lead to a run of wins. wejust needed more wins, will lead to a run of wins. we just needed the confidence to win after the heartbreak of saatchi in 2021 where he lost that lead. more will come. he is right up there, he always has been, but he is right up there with all of the people that he fought with through the ranks in hisjunior career. mclaren bought a load of apps —— brought a load of upgrades to this race. where do we think this place is the f1 pecking order? are red bull really there for the taking or is miami just bull really there for the taking or is miamijusta bull really there for the taking or is miami just a bit unusual? that bull really there for the taking or is miami just a bit unusual? is miami 'ust a bit unusual? that is a ureat is miami just a bit unusual? that is a great question — is miami just a bit unusual? that is a great question and _ is miami just a bit unusual? that is a great question and time - is miami just a bit unusual? that is a great question and time will- is miami just a bit unusual? that is a great question and time will tell. | a great question and time will tell. the updates that mclaren brought all

go back to the beginning of last season. they were dead last. they missed all their targets through winter. they had to wait to that first upgrade package to even have a chance of scoring points. this upgrade package seems to give them three tenths each lap, which is amazing. if they can keep that going there will be another upgrade to good this season and if they can outfox red bull at their own game, they can bring that challenge. from a first—time winner in norris to a first time champion at the crucible, where either kyren wilson orjakjones will by crowned world snooker champion tonight. england's wilson led 11—6 overnight. when play resumed just after 1.00pm. jones hasjust jones has just taken the first game of the session to make it 11—7.

"wild" was how larson described it. want to know how tight it was? that tight. as always, stay up to date with the very latest over on the bbc sport website,

gray. to the women defrauded by peter gra . ., ., , , to the women defrauded by peter gra. ., ., , , . gray. how have they been affected? pretty badly. — gray. how have they been affected? pretty badly. to _ gray. how have they been affected? pretty badly. to be _ gray. how have they been affected? pretty badly, to be honest. - gray. how have they been affected? pretty badly, to be honest. all- pretty badly, to be honest. all three of the women dated him. on the face of it he seemed very charming. 0ne face of it he seemed very charming. one of the woman said he is the kind of guy you would want to take along to your mum. in reality, a very different story. he was sharon them with gifts but essentially he was grooming them. he was stealing their identity and then taking out loans worth thousands and thousands of pounds. for example, he went on a date with one woman, if she went to the bathroom he would go into your bag, take a photograph of her driving licence, and that is when the scan would begin. they all said they had a gut feeling about this guy, but the only reason tenuate was going on when they started to get letters through the post to say your loan has been approved and they you haven't applied for a loan. also money would disappear from their

accounts. hannah was the woman who was defrauded and natalie was her sister. natalie did some digging around in peter gray. she couldn't find any information about tim. she finally found an ex—girlfriend on facebook who said this guy is a con man. unfortunately for the family it was too late because hannah and her mother had lent him between ten and hannah had become pregnant by him. i will play you a clip not of hannah. you will first hear her sister natalie talking about the impact it had when they find what they were dealing with. it was shocking. as a family, we have never been around anybody like this, so it was completely alien to us. we were quite innocent to the fact that this could actually happen. you see these things happen on tv, you never believe it's going to happen to you, but, believe me, it can. when your family came to you and, natalie, as you said, we took this information to you. what was it like hearing that? oh, i felt my world l had just fallen apart.

i just thought, how am - i supposed to deal with this? i'm used to a family unit. i wouldn't have brought a baby up without it, i or without it feeling like a secure, livable home from birth parents. i ijust literally thought, what is the point? - how can i go on like this? these women met mr gray on tinder. what does the company have to say about that? _ , what does the company have to say about that?— about that? tinder says it takes these kind _ about that? tinder says it takes these kind of— about that? tinder says it takes these kind of scams _ about that? tinder says it takes these kind of scams very - about that? tinder says it takes i these kind of scams very seriously and say they use ai these kind of scams very seriously and say they use al to hone in on certain words or phrases that can give a clue to fraudulent activity. they also say that if you want to message someone, you can ask to see photo verified id before you make that connection. the woman i spoke to are still very concerned that there are still opposed in the

system that means this kind of thing could happen again to somebody else. there are always warnings about online fraud, romance fraud, but how common are these crimes and walk on people do to protect themselves? in the uk we have a law called claire's law and this is what these women used. you can go to the police since i am concerned about this person i am dating and the police will allow you to see records if they have an abusive past. this is how these women discovered the true story about peter gray. by that time it was too late. he is now serving 56 months in prison. they are not alone. in the uk last year 7660 of these kinds of romance frauds. the advices, follow the tender advice, ask for a photo id verification before you make that initial approach, before you get into

messaging someone. if you are concerned that someone in your life is doing this to you, don't be ashamed, these people are criminals and they are very good at it, so talk to a friend, family member. you can also get lots of advice on this if you go to the bbc website. thank ou so if you go to the bbc website. thank you so much _ if you go to the bbc website. thank you so much for— if you go to the bbc website. thank you so much for bringing _ if you go to the bbc website. thank you so much for bringing us - if you go to the bbc website. thank you so much for bringing us that. you so much for bringing us that story. you can hear the full interviews on bbc radio five live today, or listen to the 5mins0n podcast �*the women conned by a romance fraudster�* on bbc sounds. for details of organisations which offer advice and support if you've been affected by fraud, go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline. the brewing company heineken says it'll re—open more than 60 pubs that were closed in recent years.
