and he said, "oh, god, no, no, kay." >> reporter: investigator edmunds saw david too. and law enforcement tends to see things a little differently, especially with husbands. >> at the hospital, you meet him in person, you see him? >> right. his wife's on life support, you know. and he's pretty distraught. but i just, still, i just got a weird feeling. something wasn't right. i couldn't tell if it was, overboard or if it was just -- i couldn't put my finger on it but there was something that was bothering me. >> reporter: so even though the husband had an alibi, that out of state business trip. >> he's on your radar and you both know that? >> yes. so i'm watching him pretty, pretty close. >> reporter: by that point edmunds was trying to determine exactly what had happened on hot springs drive. he had his team take pictures of kay, collecting any physical evidence from that confrontation in the house. and they came up with something, a bit of human hair found under kay's fingernails. it just might be from her attacker. >> she had defense wounds to her -- to her arms, to

but edmund won the third, and found himself on the brink. now, everyone has always known that kyle edmund has the power. but the most important thing in tennis is what you do with your head. the muscle between the ears. the very best players manage to stay calm, even to get better when it gets close. and this was very close. he's done it! hang on, wait and see. match point decided by a hawk—eye replay. as andy murray described it on twitter — wow! i know what it feels like to be andy murray for the last eight years... laughter and when you're on these type of stages, you know, reaching the last stage of the best tournament in the world, it's obviously very pleasing, but of course, i want to keep going. kyle edmund may have peaked on the other side of the world, but he was made right here, in yorkshire. as an eight—year—old, you mayjust have spotted him on one of these courts. and it's here in beverley where you will find a man who was hitting against kyle edmund as a boy. he's always had the ability. i mean, last year, he did always

coming up: cilic ends edmund's remarkable run in melbourne. not on the shortist and forced to apologise for sexists tweets — why phil neville was the fa's leading candidate for the england women's job. he fitted to 80 what i had been looking for, and the moment that i spoke to him, i was really sure from that first moment that he was the right man for the job. why curling will be a family affair for the scotland team at the winter olympics. yes it was unchartered territory for kyle edmund at this years australian open the farthest he's been at a grand slam, but the semi finals is where that journey ended for the british number two following a straight sets win by the world number six marin cilic this morning. hywell griffiths is in melbourne. what 82—mac weeks it has been for kyle edmund. he arrived here, unseeded, and unheralded. those people focusing on andy murray's injury. but in the last two weeks he has really made a name for himself, impressing many people with his impressive game and his mental strength, particularly in that quarte

edmund now faces world number three grigor dimitrov. whatever the outcome, britain seems to have a new star to celebrate. david ornstein, bbc news. tottenham lost ground on their top four rivals as they were held to a 1—1 draw with southampton who remain in the relegation zone. harry kane was on the scoresheet again but both sides will feel it's an opportunity missed, in their efforts at opposite ends of the table. james burford reports. greatness recognising greatness, football continues to pay its respects to cyrille regis. how southampton would take his goal—scoring ability now. in the relegation zone, saints will take any luck they can get and they certainly got a slice of good fortune early on. but that lasted barely three minutes. harry kane, rarely far from the headlines, heading home for tottenham's instant reply. premier league goal 99 for spurs. conditions certainly played a part and set pieces were all the more important. southampton inches away from going back in front. the game will be particularly memorable for this yo

kyle edmund could barely stand after his last match in melbourne. now he has reached greater heights than ever before. the mercury was at a merciful 26 degrees but early on it looked like andreas seppi could prove too hot to handle. 27 places separate them in the world rankings. on court, it was much closer, with the italian taking the first set on a tie—break. at 33, seppi has a decade's experience on edmund and at times, it showed. the briton was broken first but a change of footwear led to a change in fortunes as he went on to level the match. winning five games in a row saw edmund grow in confidence and seppi's stubborn resistance drained away. it took almost three hours to set up the biggest match of his career but edmund isn't getting carried away. you know, i have to believe i'm going to win and believe in my game and stuff so that is the way i've approached it, one match at a time and i will continue to do that. whatever happens next, edmund will climb the rankings and give hope that britain has found a successor to andy murray. nick parro

having come so far, for edmund, there was no coming back. the croatian was at times quite brilliant. the young brit's journey was at an end, but everything suggests there is plenty still ahead. did not get my best out on court, but so many positives i think override the whole two weeks. i have to focus on that and be pleased with what i've done. watching it this morning by sue barker and john lloyd. i asked them ifa hip barker and john lloyd. i asked them if a hip injury might have hampered his chances. he really needed to be 100% to challenge against marin cilic. his opponent can move all over the place, and when your movement is hampered, and you can't get your shots, i'm afraid the writing is on the wall fairly early on. he had it at any second set, but he was not able to do that. maybe he would have got back in it, but cilic was the better player, today. nerves as well, john. with the scale of the occasion getting to him a bit at the start of the match? maybe, but i think he handled it well. i don't think he was overwrought about being o

edmund's endurance impressed many. who described it as the biggest win of kyle edmund's career? none other than andy murray, via twitter. well, there are 16 men left in the australian open. kyle edmund is one of them. now, quick, while you can — find some shade. joe wilson, bbc news. it's proven to be one of the stars on the court. it's proven to be one of the stars on the court. familiarfaces in familiar faces in the crowd as nick kyrgios booked his spot in the last 16. that is will smith courtside this time. taking a comfortable and prime spot on the rod laver arena. will ferrell on the rod laver arena. will ferrell on hand earlier to interview roger federer. and with temperatures well over a0 degrees in the day out in melbourne, kyrigos benefited from playing in the night session. he was clearly pumped up out on court as he beat the former finalistjoe—wilfried tsonga, to set up a match with grigor dimitrov next, kyrigos the only australian in the men's draw. he's nojoke my favourite he's no joke my favourite actor, he's nojoke my favourite actor, i get asked if one person

there is a lot of work for kyle edmund to do. you can listen to the ha rd edmund to do. you can listen to the hard work he's put a on the court right now on 5 live, and there will be highlights at 4:45pm on bbc two this afternoon. this is interesting. shops, cafes and businesses will offer free water refill points in every major city and town in england by 2021. water uk says its scheme could cut disposable plastic bottle used by tens of millions a year, which is good because we all seem to be growing increasingly worried about the effect of plastic waste on the environment. with me now is water uk's chief executive, michael roberts. how will this work? companies, shops, businesses, cafes sign up to offer free tap water for people to fill up the bottles, they put a sticker on the window, we provide a national app so on the move you can find out where a free refill point is and top up. there are 30 cities across england doing this already, how is it going? it is going well but it is early days. we were inspired by the grass roots campaign that started in places like brist

now to see how edmund would cope. towering his way to the first set suggested it is not too much of a burden but the scale of the task ahead was laid bare as the bulgarian battled back to level the bulgarian battled back to level the match. now time for the true test of temperament and in the melbourne heat dimitrov was first to crack, leaving the door open for edmonds to batter his way through with the match now heading in his direction —— edmund. this was drama to the last, match point, the call was out but the decision was challenged and the agony of waiting and then the ecstasy of winning. he is through to the semifinals and if he can keep control of those nerves, who knows? edmund must have thought he would be facing rafael nadal in the semifinals of the world number one retired with an injury in his quarterfinal against marin cilic. yet been —— yet been 2—1 up but could not continue. cilic is the sixth seed and a former us open champion. there was also an upset in the women's draw is unseeded belgian e

under the most extreme pressure, in the most extreme conditions, kyle edmund peaked. one of the best rallies of the match. nothing much between the players in world rankings and nothing much between them on court. edmund was 2—1 sets down, but from this moment he took the fourth set 6—0. he‘s got it. fifth set, 12th game, both men stretched beyond previous limits, so who wilts? who wins. he‘s done it. edmund conceded that if the tournament had said it was too hot to play he would gladly have stopped, so was it unsafe? edmund is the kind of guy who normally lets his tennis do the talking. it‘s a tough one. it‘s professional sport. it‘s meant to hurt. it‘s not meant to be easy, that‘s the whole point of it. but yeah, i guess yeah, i mean, if people do start to become ill then it might be a concern, but as far as i‘m aware everyone is just getting through. and he is through. the australian open said they came close to implementing their extreme heat policy. edmund‘s endurance impressed many. who described it as the biggest win of kyle edmund‘s car

in melbourne, nowhere to hide for kyle edmund. one game at the start of the fourth set against his georgian opponent lasted 20 minute. just one game. under extreme pressure in extreme conditions, he peaked. nothing much between the players in world rankings and nothing much between them on court. kyle edmund was down but from this moment he took the fourth said 6—0. fifth set, 12th game. both men stretched beyond their limit. who wins? he would gladly have stopped if it was declared too hot to play. he normally lets his tennis do the talking. it is a difficult one to be professional sport and it will hurt. it will not be easy. yeah... yeah. if people do start to become ill thenit if people do start to become ill then it may be a concern but eve ryo ne then it may be a concern but everyone is just getting through. and he is. the australian open said they came close to implementing their extreme heat policy. his endurance impressed many. they described it as the biggest win of his career. there will be 16 man left in the australia

edmund excitement? we could do better! britain's kyle edmund has won the biggest game of his career to reach the australian open semi—finals and his first grand slam semifinal. he beat the world number three grigor dimitrov in four sets to reach the last four in just two hours and 49 minutes. it was edmund's 12th attempt to beat a top five player. he had to wait for hawk—eye decision to confirm the win. the british number one andy murray — who is currently recovering from a hip operation — tweeted in response to edmund's win — simply "wow". speaking afterwards, edmund says he isjust enjoying the experience... iam i am loving it right now! the way that i am playing. 23 years old, my first grand slam final, the first timei first grand slam final, the first time i have played on one of the best courts in the world. to beat a player like grigor dimitrov, i am aware of all of this, they are great feelings. you do not play in the semifinal or a grand slam every day, or on semifinal or a grand slam every day, orona semi

kyle edmund. i am used to yea rs of isn't it? kyle edmund. i am used to years of saying andy murray and now kyle edmund has come in. he will love the fact people are now talking about him in the same way. he says he knows what it feels like to be andy murray with all the attention, i hope he enjoys it and i hope it hasn't taken out too much energy for the semi—final against marin cilic. marin cilic is world number six, he already beat the world number three, edmund is the underdog but it isn't impossible, as we have seen this week and marin cilic has been known to have wobbles at crucial moments so to have wobbles at crucial moments so there's certainly a chance there. this is how delighted kyle was to have reached the semi—final after he beat dimitrov in the quarter—final. a five—time champion in melbourne thinks that the britain has a fighting chance against marin cilic. it is two steps away, you know? a lot of stuff can happen. you play one good one and the other guy plays one good one and the other guy plays one bad one, usually t

edmund now faces world number three grigor dimitrov. whatever the outcome, britain seems to have a new star to celebrate. david ornstein, bbc news. watford have sacked that manager this morning. tottenham drew them much, harry kane only needs one more goal two reaches 100 premier league goal. one late goal at tynecastle got hearts into the fifth round of the scottish cup. the rangers game was postponed. plenty more sport on the bbc sport website including how saracens scraped into the quarterfinals of the european champions cup. for me, goodbye. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, we are back with the late news at ten o'clock now on bbc1 its time for the news where you are. goodbye. hello. this is bbc news. i'm martine croxall. theresa may has said she'll set out plans in the coming weeks to crack down on company executives who enrich themselves while jeopardising their workers' pensions. writing in the observer newspaper, mrs may describes the practice as an unacceptable abuse that will be ended. earlier i spok

but edmund won the third and found himself on the brink. edmund‘s always had power, but now he has the composure to see things through when it gets close — and this was pretty close. he's done it! hang on, wait and see! match point decided by a hawk—eye replay. as andy murray described it on twitter, "wow!". i know what it feels like to be andy murray for the last eight years, or however long! laughter. when you‘re on these type of stages, you know, you‘re reaching the last stages of the best tournament in the world, it‘s obviously very pleasing but, of course, i want to keep going. kyle edmund may have peaked on the other side of the world, but he was made right here in yorkshire. as an eight year old, you mayjust have spotted him on one of these courts. and it‘s here in beverley where you‘ll find a man who was hitting against kyle edmund as a boy. he's always had the ability. i mean, last year, he always seemed to come off second—best really in tight matches. possibly down to the mental side, which is, the biggest thing

a ranking edmund can aspire to one day, once he's over the defeat. it's sad to lose, the run has ended. 0bviously frustration tonight with my performance. but, in the short term, i'm disappointed and i have to accept that. disappointing, yes. devastating? hardly. kyle edmund's shown here there's a lot more to british men's tennis than just andy murray. he's not the finished article just yet, but he should fly home happy. there, he's bound to be given a hero's welcome. at his old school in yorkshire, they're still pretty proud. hywel griffith, bbc news, melbourne. baroness tessa jowell was given a standing ovation in the lords this afternoon after delivering an emotional speech calling for new cancer treatments to be available on the nhs. yesterday the former labour cabinet minister gave her first interview since being diagnosed with a severe form of brain cancer last may. i hope that this debate will give hope to other cancer patients, like me, so that we can live well together with cancer. notjust dying of it. all of us for longer. thank you. applau

now edmunds looked for a way to link chris to the murder scene. and he got another helpful call from becky's brother jerry jacobs in jail. they had shown jerry photos of the murder weapon before. >> does that look familiar to you? >> no. i mean it's brand new. >> reporter: then in a follow up interview jacobs came back and told investigators he recognized the hammer. he said it came from becky's garage, a place chris often went to borrow tools. >> i've seen the hammer in the toolbox in the garage. >> hat toolbox? where are we talkin' about? >> in my sister's garage. >> reporter: sheriff's deputies found chris in front of the home becky had bought for him packing his truck for a weekend getaway. >> did he ask what was going on? >> no. didn't really say anything. put him in the car, we take him up to our office, and put him in the interview room. >> everything's not happened the way you said it happened, so i want you to really think long and hard and tell me -- you're a young man, right now. >> basically you just called me a liar. >> reporter: chri

kyle edmund could barely stand after his last match in melbourne. now he has reached greater heights than ever before. the mercury was at a merciful 26 degrees but early on it looked like andreas seppi could prove too hot to handle. 27 places separate them in the world rankings. on court, it was much closer, with the italian taking the first set on a tie—break. at 33, seppi has a decade's experience on edmund and at times, it showed. the briton was broken first but a change of footwear led to a change in fortunes as he went on to level the match. winning five games in a row saw edmund grow in confidence and seppi's stubborn resistance drained away. it took almost three hours to set up the biggest match of his career but edmund isn't getting carried away. you know, i have to believe i'm going to win and believe in my game and stuff so that is the way i've approached it, one match at a time and i will continue to do that. whatever happens next, edmund will climb the rankings and give hope that britain has found a successor to andy murray. nick parro

no pressure on kyle edmund, then. roger federer has also been speaking about the british number two. he could meet him in the final. he said that edmund can relax, as he has got some thing to lose. to me, it seemed that he is two steps away. a lot of stuff can happen. you pay one good one, and the other guy pays one bad one. normally there is no bad matches any more in semifinal, but, you know, it isa more in semifinal, but, you know, it is a good situation to be in. he can head in freely, with no act petitions whatsoever. you may never be in this situation ever again, to have no expectation. coverage is on sky —— live sports extra. shops all... she was also nominated for the bbc‘s sports personality of the

edmund is the ranking player. he got up to eight fairly slow start. we had a medical timeout to work on his shoulder to loosen it out. he came through with a perfect high rate. then he broke against the georgian whom he has met and played once before. then it was turned around. they breakpoint opportunity, asa around. they breakpoint opportunity, as a spit, the georgian hasjust broken as a spit, the georgian hasjust bro ke n kyle as a spit, the georgian hasjust broken kyle edmund in the first game of set free. could be a long way to go in this one. you mentioned nadal under the lights. great stuff. gigi salmon, our tennis reporter in melbourne. all the details on the website of who will be in action. a p—plater will be nick kyrgios. he'll face the number 15 seed, and former runner—up, jo—wilfried tsonga, and it seems the australian has always been a big fan of the frenchman. it was just the way he played his game. i liked his aggressive style dennis, a big serve, a big forehand. entertaining tennis. when i was 12i went to his practice sessions,

yes it is over and out for kyle edmund in australia. he lost the semifinal down in melbourne but what a remarkable run he's been on. more in halfan a remarkable run he's been on. more in half an hour. a remarkable run he's been on. more in halfan hour. in a remarkable run he's been on. more in half an hour. in the weather, the calm after the storm, lucy? it certainly is. a quieter day on the cards. but there are heavy showers to look out for. i'll have more of the detail also on extreme weather temperatures across the globe. also, water on tap — plans to set up thousands of free water refill points — in a bid to cut the number of plastic bottles that we use. hello everyone, this is afternoon live. i'm simon parole board coy. just a couple of hours ago — in a bbc interview — theresa may said the uk's relationship with the united states was "as strong as it ever has been" — and right now, she'll be finding out if that's true — as she talks to donald trump for the first time since their transatlantic twitter spat over extremism

the dream run is overfor kyle edmund. he was beaten in straight sets by world number six marin cilic. it was edmund's first grandstand semi. he showed signs of mixing with the well‘s best. from east yorkshire, to melbourne, kyle edmund, in every sense, has come a long way. his arrival has been a surprise to some. now, could his extraordinaryjourney continue? to go further he would have to stand his ground against marin cilic that is anything but easy. the travails of this tournament seemingly now taking their toll, kyle edmund outplayed from the start. the first set lost, there was to be some encouragement, first from his coat and then a disputed line call, a lengthy row, and fora disputed line call, a lengthy row, and for a moment it seemed like the spark he needed. that took him towards a tie—break. but once again the challenge of marin cilic was proving too much. having come so far for edmund there was now no coming back. the croatian at times quite brilliant. the young brit'sjourney atan end brilliant. the young b

and let's finish with kyle edmund. this isa let's finish with kyle edmund. this is a great story for british tennis, obviously andy murray is injured and kyle edmund has become only the sixth british man to reach a grand slam semifinal. so much was made last week that andy murray would not be there, johanna konta was our only hope and all of a sudden, for people with only a casual interest, up pops kyle edmund. if you don't follow every match on the taught you might not have heard of him but it is a fantastic achievement for him but what struck me, he did not stop playing tennis until he was nine years old and he is only 23. my daughter is seven at the moment, she started when she was forced it gives parents like me great hope! —— when she was four. and her mum and dad are heading out to see him. dad is already out in australia and his mum is following on. my favourite line was that he joked that his mum sent him to tennis lessons because he was annoying him to tennis lessons because he was ann ' him to tennis lessons because he was annoying her! the sam

and it is tough, as you say, against kevin anderson —— kyle edmund. they played at roland garros in the third round last year and he ultimately lost in five sets. the advantage for edmund, if he is one of these people who sees the glass as half full rather than half empty he can beat him in the opening round and he is playing well, assuming his ankle skier from last week's events in brisbane is not a major concern, he would find himself in a reasonably favell section of the draw after that —— ankle scare. a reasonably favourable section of the draw. england's one day side have beaten a cricket australia 11 team, in a warm—up match in sydney. just four days after that 4—0 ashes series defeat, the tourists switched formats and recorded a much—needed five—wicket victory. their opponents had just one full international in matt renshaw. having restricted the hosts to 258 for nine captain eoin morgan hit an unbeaten 81 to lead his side to victory. james vince and mark stoneman have kept their places in england's test squad for the tour of new ze

edmund found ways to break him and found himself level. urged on by the british fans, edmund broke twice in the side to secure the biggest win of his career. the pink will get another outing as kyle edmund showed us just how bright his future could be. just overall, for personal satisfaction, the hours you put in, the training, etc. so many things like that. those results just make itjust really feel good and worth it basically. really happy. another shock at the masters snooker — yesterday world number one mark selby was beaten, today china's ding junhui went the same way, beaten six frames to four by ryan day of wales. bbc sport's jason mohammed looks at the match for sportsday in the company of former masters champions steve davis and john parrott. thank you very much indeed. what another brilliant game we have seen today. centuries all over the place. ding generally led 3—0 and looked really comfortable. ding generally led 3—0 and looked really co mforta ble. rya n ding generally led 3—0 and looked really comfortable. ryan day

edmund now faces world number three grigor dimitrov. whatever the outcome, britain now seems to have a new start to celebrate. —— new star. that's all the sport for now. a former premier league footballer will be sworn in tomorrow as the new president of the west african nation of liberia. george weah — who played for chelsea and manchester city — told the bbc he was ready to meet the expectations of his people. his victory is the latest extraordinary chapter in liberia's emergence from the horrors of civil war. from the capital monrovia here's our africa editor, fergal keane. a fanfare for the people's man who rose from the slums to become an international football star, and now president of his country. how are you doing? george weah is the face of a changing nation. for the first time in over 70 years, power is being transferred between democratically elected leaders. can you possibly be as successful a president as a footballer? well, you only look at me as a former footballer, but i am a human being. i strive to be excellen

now to see how edmund would cope. powering his way to the first set suggested it isn't yet too much of a burden. the scale of the task ahead was laid bare as the bulgarian in the melbourne heat, dimitrov was the first to crack, leaving the door open for edmund to batter his way through. the match now heading in his direction. those nerves turned into a very british kind of excitement, but this was drama to the last. match point, out was the call, that decision challenged, the agony of waiting and then the ecstasy of winning. edmund through to the semifinals. if he can keep control of those nerves, who knows? he will face the world number four marin cilic on thursday. he beats rafa nadal, after rafa nadal was forced to retire with an ankle problem. more shocks in the women's game, elise mertens thrash the fourth seed to book their place in the semifinal. the world number 37 won 6—4, 6—0, winning on the ukrainian's server. is the first time she has beaten a top five player and goes into the semifinal ona player and

semi—final against for england's kyle edmund came to an end. semi—finalagainst marin for england's kyle edmund came to an end. semi—final against marin cilic was a step too far. the croatian was rarely challenged in the first. the second more competitive. marin cilic two experienced and in the end, too good. taking the match in straight sets to book his place in a second grand slam final out of three. marin cilic is waiting for the winner of the second final between roger federer and hyeon chung. and the contrast in experience could hardly be greater. federer — who beat tomas berdych to reach the last four — is the defending champion, and remains on course to win a record—extending 20th major. he's aiming to reach a 30th grand slam final and this will be his 43rd semi—final. by contrast chung is playing in his first grand slam semi—final. in fact, it's the first time he's made it past the third round of a major. the world number 58, who beat novak djokovic and both zverev brothers to reach the last four, still can't believe he thr

kyle edmund's rise has been steady, his form spectacular. it did seem that was about to change when against andreas seppi he lost the opening set and went down a break of serve in the second. he was quick to respond. a switch of shoes coinciding with a change in fortune. there was no looking back. a decade seppi'sjunior, there was no looking back. a decade seppi's junior, edmund is there was no looking back. a decade seppi'sjunior, edmund is the higher ranked and soon the gulf in quality became apparent. both men were struggling —— hoping to reach a grand slam semifinal —— quarterfinal. edmund became the first british man other than murray to make the last eight in melbourne since 1995. hopefully we have more british the future. for me, personally, i'm very happy to get through and i will keep doing my best. i know people are waking up at home at silly hours. i'm grateful for that. he now faces grigor dimitrov. whatever the outcome, britain appears to have a new star to celebrate. david ornstein, bbc news. there was just one game in

federer says edmund can relax ahead of his match, as he has nothing to lose. somebody is in the semifinals, to me it seems like it is two steps away, a lot of stuff can happen. you play one good one and the other guy plays one good one and the other guy plays one bad one, usually there are no bad matches any more in semifinals, but it is a good situation to be in and he can hit freely now, no expectations whatsoever. he may never be in this position ever again to have so little expectation on him. earlier, world number one simona halep beat karolina pliskova to reach the women's semi—finals. halep went 3—0 down in the first set but fought back. after saving a second break point she won nine games in a row on her way to winning in straight sets. she angelique l355? in the other women's semifinal, they will both be played overnight in the next fisher hours, a dries mertens will play caroline wozniacki. —— elise merton ‘s. the six nations is almost here. england are looking for a hat=trick of titles and travel to italy a week on saturday but there'll be

what a morning for kyle edmund! yes, great news to wake up to, and an incredible performance from kyle edmund, just 23 years old. i think after andy murray, who pulled out injured at the beginning of the tournament, and johanna konta going out in the second round, all british hopes rested on his shoulders. no sign of that pressure today, beating world number three grigor dimitrov, rather convincingly too, it must be said, despite the wobble in the second set. a bit of tension at the end, certainly, and he beat him for — six, 6—3, 3—6 injust two hours and a0 minutes, and looking very much at home. it makes a only the sixth british man to reach the last four at the grand slam in the open era, and it allows him to break into the top 30 for the very first time in his career. afterwards, he said it was an amazing feeling, and he said, now! it was an amazing feeling, and he said, now i know what it feels like to be andy murray for the last eight yea rs. to be andy murray for the last eight years. i think that is som
