Page makes history with two 147s in one match
Jackson Page has become the first player to make a maximum 147 break twice in one match. Page's achievement also secured him the £147,000 Triple Crown bonus. The 23-year-old Welshman had made his first 147 on Sunday, during the eighth frame of his third-round World Snooker Championship qualifying match against England's Allan Taylor. Resuming the match on Monday, leading 8-1 and needing only two frames to complete victory, Page racked up another maximum to clinch a 10-2 win. "I'm over the moon," Page told BBC 5 Live Drive. "It's a bizarre sort of feeling really." "I knew the bonus was up for grabs [for the second 147], so I went for it from the first ball and managed to make it happen. "I felt the same way as I did winning matches and in the deep end of tournaments, the same sort of pressure. As soon as the 15th black went in and I was on the yellow, I knew it was going to happen." The world number 35, who turned professional in 2019, had never previously made a single maximum break in his career. Monday's win has earned him a place in the final round of qualifiers. Page reached the tournament proper for the first time in 2022 and caused an upset by beating former finallist Barry Hawkins 10-7 in round one. He also qualified for the final tournament last year, but was well beaten 10-1 in the opening round by Ronnie O'Sullivan. Page told 5 Live that the money would help as he has a three-month-old son and has recently bought a house. But he said there would not be too much celebration, with a steak dinner on Monday night before practice on Tuesday. Page will meet England's world number 30 Joe O'Connor in the final qualifying round for a place in round one at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield. While Page progressed, there were upsets elsewhere in qualifying as 2015 winner Stuart Bingham and former UK champion Stephen Maguire both lost.

Anna Foster replaces Husain on Radio 4's Today
Anna Foster is to join BBC Radio 4's Today programme as one of the programme's main presenters, following the departure of Mishal Husain in December. Foster is a former Middle East correspondent and has also previously presented BBC Radio 5 Live Drive and Radio 1's Newsbeat, as well as the corporation's flagship TV news bulletins. She will present many editions of Today from Salford, as part of the BBC's efforts to better represent more areas of the UK beyond London. In a statement, Foster said: "There are few more exciting opportunities for a journalist than presenting Today, and I'm thrilled to be joining the team. "I've always loved making important, agenda-setting, engaging radio, and there's nowhere better to do that. It's such a beloved programme to so many people, and I can't wait to be a part of it." The BBC said that, in addition to presenting Today, Foster would "continue to play a key role in helping to lead the BBC's coverage of foreign news" and will still be seen on TV news bulletins for major stories. Bosses are reported to have been keen to ensure the presenter replacing Husain had a similar level of international reporting knowledge and experience. "She brings important international reporting experience at a time when it is needed so urgently by listeners to Radio 4," said the station's controller Mohit Bakaya. Foster is one of several correspondents and presenters who have co-hosted episodes of Today in recent weeks following Husain's departure. Simon Jack and Jonny Dymond are the most frequent stand-in presenters on Today, however the Sunday Times reported bosses were keen to appoint a female host to replace Husain to maintain gender balance on the programme. The other current presenters of Today are Emma Barnett, Justin Webb, Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson. The BBC's director of live and daily news, John McAndrew, said Foster had "tremendous range and rich, varied experience" spanning more than 20 years, after she joined the BBC in 2002. As a foreign correspondent, Foster has reported on the Turkish earthquake, the Israel-Gaza war, the Ebola outbreak, the famine in South Sudan and the conflict in Ukraine. Husain joined the Today programme in 2013, but left the BBC last year for a new role at Bloomberg. Barnett 'thrilled' as she joins Radio 4's Today Mishal Husain bids farewell in final Today episode
