International Snooker
The Rothmans Grand Prix The Final (Frames 1-8)
STEVE DAVIS V JIMMY WHITE was the popular forecast a week ago. Steve Davis , the holder, is always the favourite, but with TERRY GRIFFITHS. ALEX HIGGINS and DENNIS TAYLOR he will have done really well to have qualified. Jimmy White had a comparatively easy draw, but TONY KNOWLES was a danger and one of the giant-killers might have caught the habit. International Tennis

Seven films on the love-lives of people round the world. 4: Parents and Children
What do people have children for? And now that they can choose whether or not to have children, do they really want them? Parents in Kenya, India, Italy and Hungary talk about how they plan their families.
Beside Lake Victoria , Kenyan men tell how children bring social respect; in Madras, an Indian couple restage their marriage so their children can be present; in Italy, a group of women explain why abortion is so much more popular than the pill; and in Hungary, parents calculate the cost of a second child, and decide to spend the money on themselves.
