Former Australian cricketer Brett Lee has bravely fronted television cameras in India just hours after trying in vain to save the life of Dean Jones.  Jones, 59, died of a 'massive' heart attack in a Mumbai hotel on Thursday, leaving the cricket world in shock and mourning the loss of one of the game's legends.  Jones and Lee were in the city as part of Star India's commentary team for the Indian Premier League, which is being played in the UAE because of coronavirus.  Jones collapsed in the lobby of the hotel as he walked beside the former fast bowler, who desperately tried to revive him with CPR until paramedics arrived.  He was rushed to hospital but couldn't be saved. Lee, distraught by the loss of his colleague and friend, courageously returned to television for Star India's coverage of the IPL little more than three hours later. Jones would have normally appeared alongside him in the studio, which they called the 'dugout'.  'I think the thing w

A minister has blasted the BBC for failing to support pensioners during the pandemic and calls for free TV licences to be extended to 2022.   The broadcaster agreed to take on responsibility for funding over-75s TV licences, which had previously been free.

President Donald Trump took swings at Chris Wallace days before the Fox News host is to moderate the first presidential debate – accusing Wallace of being 'controlled' by the left. The president has long complained that he gets unfair treatment in debates, and his team spent months seeking to negotiate better terms as he prepares to face Democrat Joe Biden stage. But with a prime-time clash set on dicey topics as the coronavirus, race, and social unrest, Trump opted to go after the moderator with the ability to sift questions and pursue follow-ups.   'He'll ask me tough questions and it'll be unfair, I have no doubt about it,' Trump predicted. 'But he'll be controlled by the radical left. They control him,' he said in an interview with Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade on Kilmeade's radio show Thursday.  Trump went on to tout the ratings that Trump brought Wallace in their July interview.  'Chris likes me because his world is all about
