Now there's a fresh appeal for the sibling's return.

This is the moment, according to Brazilian police, when

Cheshire businessman Ray Whdlan left his hotel through a side entrance.

When police arrived at the Copacabana Palace Hotel in Rio

We have an arrest warrant for him so he is officially a fugithve.

the house. Mr Whelan was briefly arrested

earlier this week then At that time his company

Match Services criticised It described Mr Whelan's arrest

as "arbitrary and illegal." "The police have not attempted to

investigate the facts and have consequently procedded to

misrepresent the relevance Swiss based Match Hospitality is

wider investigation into thd alleged The police already have

11 other men in custody. Detectives claim they are p`rt

of a gang which has made millions selling tickets at this

and previous World Cups. They say they hope to speak with

Mr Whelan soon. Earlier I spoke to the BBC's sports

correspondent Ollie Foster, What has been the reaction to the

news. Because we've had no football for a couple of days, it has made

the front pages. Ray Whelan has fled arrest.

It is deeply embarrassing bdcause all the organisation's top

executives stay there. It h`s been big news without any football to

talk about. So what developments have there

been? Well Ray Whelan is a lan at large. The police say he is on the

run. He handed in his passport so it is believed he is holed up hn Brazil

somewhere. Local media has said his lawyer has been in contact with the

police. We understand from the chief

investigator that if the police do recapture Ray Whelan he would not be

allowed out on bail. As you said, he is still on the run. How is the

investigation going to go on now? They are looking to expand the

investigation. They have looked at 50,000 phone calls from a month out

of which they have only man`ged to analyse 25,000. 900 between Ray

Whelan and the chief ticket tout. They have arrested 11 other people.

They feel the football authorities may have some questions to `nswer.

dogs. They continue to do this. They take enjoyment from it and they even

What they want to do is turn it into beer. It's very traditional Bali. It

makes fantastic beer. The ydars we've had to have second`best

really, with low nitrogen or levels. Most brewers have had

until now, supplies of an dhstant unlimited. The idea here is to keep

production local. A lot of this Bali goes around the world but this goes

35 miles up the road to Burnley This brewery is famous for the

Pendle 's witches ales. What does it taste like Chris DiMarco swdet

biscuit. A very nice flavour you can really taste it. Real ale f`ns will

be sampling the new brew in the autumn. It's not going to bd loaded

on a wagon or taken on a bo`t to the other side of the world. Thhs is

going to stay in the area and be turned into a beer that may end up

thinking good riddance, or `re I think some will be thinking good

riddance. After those indiscretions. Spoken to plenty of fans who have

wished him well and think hd be difficult to replace. There will be

lots of Liverpool fans who have this shirt. He scored 31 Premier League

goals. There are reports from Spain that he could be introduced to the

Barcelona crowd as early as the middle of next week. He won't be

able to play to them until late October because of the ban. As for

Liverpool fans, here's what some of them had to say. The biting

incident, he did it again. Ht's not on. It's a shame. He's been one of

our best strikers. I think ht was the media that played on thd biting.

What has Suarez had to save himself? He has said he leaves Liverpool with

a heavy heart. He said he ldaves for a new life. He said about the

brands, you have always supported me and my family will never forget it.

We will always be Liverpool supporters. Brendan Rodgers said

they letting go with great reluctance. These are the vhews of

the former Liverpool striker John Aldridge. With him going now, here's

the type of player is very hard to replace. He's irreplaceable.

Obviously, they have to go out and find another goal`scorer solewhere.

Stuart Pollitt has been meeting the man who put Tiger up for thd week.

Summer 2006 and the most famous sportsm`n in the

It was ready for Tiger, but could anyone get close to him.

Tiger became almost like an urban myth.

If somebody had seen Tiger ht was almost like sighting a xeti

Somebody had been run over by Tiiger's car.

He was staying in this housd, he was staying in that housd.

The rumours about where Tigdr was staying stretch from the Isle of Man

He was actually staying at this secluded farmhouse.

The house is Paul Lee's homd, which he is currently renov`ting.

Paul has arranged rentals for dozens of golfers but ndver one

which involved a visit from a management company, Group 4 security

I phoned the management company and said, I need to know who's going

They said, we can't tell yot but it is somebody special, he is

the world's number one but we are not going to say what his n`me is.

We did think, well, we bettdr go and buy some new furniture.

They said, don't worry it's absolutely fine.

When he did arrive, Paul was given an insight into

People just bring everything in in bags, but as I say, everxthing

He had a bag for every day, labelled?

And obviously including, on the Sunday, , the usual redshirt.

Paul you even lent Tiger your mountain bike to go riding

Yes, Tiger and his wife would take the bikes and follow the tr`ils

through the woods, which wotld take them a good 15 to 20`mile bhke ride.

At the time of the morning you are really not

One member was walking his dog one morning on the hill and

He apparently stopped Tiger and said, Oh,

And when the golf did get started, Tiger meant business.

Stuart will be looking at that next week as part of our courage from

Royal Liverpool golf club. Ht will be interesting to see if and when

Luis Suarez comes back here and isn't wearing this but is wdaring a

Barcelona shirt. That wasn't to to pasture earlier was it? If only it

was. It was Paul who is a btilder. He has a point.

She's just 12 years old, but this talented Liverpool school

girl is making quite an impression with her music.

Millie Courtney has been wrhting and performing songs

Her unique style and strong voice have won hdr fans

And she's enjoying success and recognition

By day she is an ordinary schoolgirl from Liverpool. But 12`year`old

Millie has an extraordinary voice. I've always wanted this to be my

career. Like my job. But I never thought it would come this puickly.

A musical talent that is taking Liverpool and the world by storm. My

dad said I used to scream a lot as a baby. Maybe that had somethhng to do

with it. Millie is a regular performer at the world`famots cabin

club and she already has de`l in place. At the end of gigs pdople

come over and say how fantastic years. She is even getting ` bank of

going. It's fantastic. I will look out for

her to see her again. We bill by her records. Not only is Millie making

an impression with her boys, she writes her own songs taking

inspiration from a number of musical greats. She also takes insphration

from her favourite singer, Nashville superstar Taylor Swift. I think

she's very honest in the wax she comes across. Millie is fast

becoming a Nashville superstar herself. Two tracks are being

invited to the number ones but on a national radio station.

She has a great career ahead of It's the weekend coming. We've had

such a good week of whether but it can only go downhill from hdre.

Hopefully on Sunday we went to need our wellies. But you may nedd them

later on on Saturday. It's been a very decent end to the week. We ve

seen some glorious sunshine this afternoon. A test they drivd. It had

temperatures in excess of 20 Celsius.

A band of rain will drive`in on Saturday evening. As we sat head

into Sunday it will be mostly dry full stop for the week ahead, I

think we can safely say it hs going to be a mixed bag of change`ble

conditions. For the weekend, yes we will see some rain. Fingers

crossed, we will also see some sunshine on Saturday. It is going to

be fairly humid in one or two spots. Plenty of late evening

sunshine today. As we head hnto Make the most of your weekend,

wherever you are. Use the BBC Weather App to stay

one step ahead of the weather. Imagine if you could

talk to the animals. Zoologist Lucy Cooke

is going to show us how. This is the first example we know of

of infrared communication. This is amazing.
