Changing Faces says names like Fishlips and Freakface reinforce

:00:30.:00:31.

negative views of people with facial disfigurements like scars, spots or

:01:28.:01:36.

chances? Well. BBC Sport presenter Will Perry joins me now. Will, can

:01:37.:01:44.

:01:45.:01:47.

this morning early and cruised through, six to one, six to one, 61,

:01:48.:01:58.

63. He is fourth in the world and he's playing the 112th in the world.

:01:59.:02:04.

But he had back surgery in September. So it is good for him.

:02:05.:02:09.

And in blistering heat. And overall, can he do it? He would have to play

This is one that he needs, along with the French Open. We mention the

heat. 43 degrees down there. It is like going on the beach, putting on

:02:40.:02:46.

a big coat, and simply melted water bottle on the court today. Someone

:02:47.:02:52.

has fainted, someone has been ill. How do they cope? They train in the

Far East and to buy, so they're used to the temperatures. But to go and

:02:59.:03:04.

play at their heat for five hours, it can be uncomfortable.

:03:05.:03:14.

Sticking with sport Arsenal are back on top of the Premier League this

:03:15.:03:17.

morning. They leap-frogged Manchester City after a 2-1 win over

:03:18.:03:20.

Aston Villa last night. Jack Wilshire sent them on their way and

:03:21.:03:24.

then set up Olivier Giroud for the second. Christian Benteke pulled one

:03:25.:03:27.

back for Villa but it wasn't enough to halt the gunner's impressive run

of form. This period of the season is very important. Everybody is

focused. I'm glad that we did it today. Another away win. Away we

:04:08.:04:10.

stage. Afterwards the Real Madrid star revealed Rio was desperate for

:04:11.:04:18.

him to come back to the Red Devils. Rio Ferdinand is a good friend. We

:04:19.:04:23.

played together for many years and we are neighbours. He is a fantastic

:04:24.:04:30.

guy. He tried to change my mind. Finally to the incredible journey of

:04:31.:04:33.

a seal who wound up in a farmer's field, 50 miles from the sea. Search

:04:34.:04:37.

and rescue teams tracked the pup down in a field in Appleby, Cumbria.

:04:38.:04:41.

They believe the seal must have swum inland by mistake. After a bit of a

:04:42.:04:45.

struggle to get the creature into a special container he was eventually

:04:46.:04:48.

released at a spot popular with seal colonies.

:04:49.:04:55.
