The new Formula One season begins on Sunday in Bahrain with plenty of changes from last season.  Seven-times world champion Michael Schumacher Alexis back, reigning champion Jensen Button has switched to McLaren and there have been rule changes too with fuel stops now banned and points awarded to the top ten places rather than the first eight of last year.  So how will Schumacher fare in the high-pressure cauldron of F1 at the age of 41, and how will the rule changes affect this year's Championship?  We talk to the former Brazilian motor racing champion and F1 driver, Alex Ribeiro         (right).

With the FIFA World Cup just 100 days away we talk to internationally respected football commentator, John Motson, to find out if he thinks an African team can win this year's competition and women's world tennis number one, Serena Williams, talks about her charity work supporting schools in Kenya.

Eddy Maillet from Seychelles has been selected as one of the 30 FIFA referees for the World Cup in South Africa.  In part two of our interview he talks about the pressure of officiating in stadiums filled with 80,000 people and his personal hopes for this year's competition.

cheruiyot_vivian_ken_610x500The World Indoor Championships take place in Doha from 12-14 March and we hear from two athletes looking forward to the event who competed in England recently.  Kenyan athlete Vivian Cheruiyot (left) is the reigning women's world champion over 5,000 metres and Christine Amertil won a silver medal at last year's World Championships in Berlin as part of the Bahamas' women's 4x400 metres relay team.

TuDo players have a moral responsibility to help the referee make decisions on the pitch or on the court, or should they simply concentrate on playing and let the referee get on with his job?  Former Manu Samoa rugby union international, Tu Nu'uali'itia (right), changed his views after a religious experience and believes this made him a better player.

Last month FIFA announced the names of the 30 referees selected to officiate at this year's World Cup in South Africa.  Among them was 43-year-old Eddy Maillet     from Seychelles.  Maillet has been a FIFA referee since 2001 and since then has officiated in almost 100 internationals including the high-pressure World Cup play-off match last year between Egypt and Algeria in Sudan.  Eddy Maillet talks to us about his delight at being selected for the World Cup and how he copes with the pressure of refereeing high-profile matches.
