but he looked a little bit sad. he's now been checked over by vets here at the highland wildlife park. he's actually in fantastic condition. he doesn't seem to have suffered any ill effects whatsoever. i guess we have all of the peanuts in the bird feeders to thank for that. these guys don't realise what a stir their little pal has caused, but i'm sure they'll give him a good welcome back, now he's done monkeying around. iain macinnes, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's chris fawkes. p yesterday we had gusts of wind are well into_ p yesterday we had gusts of wind are well int. , p yesterday we had gusts of wind are well intu , , .,, ., well into seven dias, nothing unusual about _ well into seven dias, nothing unusual about that, - well into seven dias, nothing unusual about that, but - well into seven dias, nothing unusual about that, but the i well into seven dias, nothing - unusual about that, but the centre of the storm was hundreds of miles away, one of the most powerful storms there has ever been in the north atlantic, and it hit during the early hours for norway and sweden, bringing record—breaking winds, if confirmed

with premier league sanctions hanging over them. and elsewhere, some movement at bournemouth. they've drawn i—i tonight at west ham, but have announced they've signed a striker, and that may, simon have future implications for their top scorer, in demand, dominic solanke... well, that is right. yes, he is the luy well, that is right. yes, he is the guy who — well, that is right. yes, he is the guy who has _ well, that is right. yes, he is the guy who has come in this evening. bournemouth pushed out immediately after the _ bournemouth pushed out immediately after the game against west ham at finish _ after the game against west ham at finish but— after the game against west ham at finish. but he is a man and demand come _ finish. but he is a man and demand come like _ finish. but he is a man and demand come like i've been... the kind of number— come like i've been... the kind of number nine _ come like i've been... the kind of number nine that many clubs are looking _ number nine that many clubs are looking for— number nine that many clubs are looking for and i imagine number nine that many clubs are looking forand i imagine he number nine that many clubs are looking for and i imagine he will be very. very— looking for and i imagine he will be very, very much on a lot of top club's — very, very much on a lot of top club's radars as we move into the sunrnrer~ — club's radars as we move into the summer. . ~' club's radars as we move into the summer. ,, ~ , , . summer. strike is very much in demand. _ summer. strike is very much in demand. we — summer. strike is very much in demand, we will _ summer. strike is very much in demand, we will look - summer. strike is very much in demand, we will look more - summer. strike is very much in demand, we will look more at. summer. strike is very much in - demand, we will look more at those deals which is coming up at speed. on 0n15 on 15 minutes ago. thank you very much now. now it was only 12 days ago that crystal palace got thumped by arsenal and fans demonstrated their displeasure. "wasted potential on and off

the pitch, weak decisions taking us backwards" the banners read. well the board have responded by spending 18 million on blackburn midfielder adam wharton today — and bringing in colombia right back daniel munoz for 7 million. alex howell is across all things palace. alex — they've kept hold of the likes of olise and eze. bolstered the squad. is that enough to appease the fans? it should be, especially as both of these players sound like they could be exciting. the writeback is meant to be an attacking fullback and adam is one of the best young players to come out of the championships. on the flip side of that, some would say this business is what should have been done in the summer. without michael elysees, the fitness issues this summer, the club have been a little bit to light and they haven't had too many options. he was saying after the game mid week that without those two, they missed their quality and any club would but we

will have to see, these two players will have to see, these two players will come in, they've had the injury to check, so adam welten, they've had their issues at writeback as well, it could come in and it could be very positive for palace coming towards the end of the season. absolutely. for now, thank you very much. have they done enough business to make sure they stay up? i think with the manager they've got, the way they play, they are going to always grind results out. is there uncertainty? as there unrest with crystal palace? of course there is. we talk about the banners, we talk about the manager, the future, how do you attract players as well when you know the manager probably isn't going to be there long term? so it's an interesting situation. obviously walton will be delighted to go and take back to move. so i think that's an easy one for him to go and join the football club. i think it takes the football club. i think it takes the ball really well, takes the risks at times will stop —— or two.

certainly would be thinking that manchester united would have found a way of doing some business, so, again, just strange situations, managed to get a result. ashford as well, coming and getting that goal. yeah, i think they will be looking and saying, write, how do we do things on the pitch? without massive inconsistency with what they are doing. t inconsistency with what they are doinu. ., �* ~' doing. i don't think there will ever be a manager— doing. i don't think there will ever be a manager who _ doing. i don't think there will ever be a manager who says _ doing. i don't think there will ever be a manager who says i - doing. i don't think there will ever be a manager who says i don't - doing. i don't think there will ever i be a manager who says i don't want new players— be a manager who says i don't want new players and less they've got the perfect _ new players and less they've got the perfect spot, but as we see, it does not exist _ perfect spot, but as we see, it does not exist i— perfect spot, but as we see, it does not exist. i think united as it is the case — not exist. i think united as it is the case with other teams, seeing the case with other teams, seeing the likes— the case with other teams, seeing the likes of— the case with other teams, seeing the likes of luc shah coming back in, the likes of luc shah coming back in. these — the likes of luc shah coming back in, these almost feel like new signings — in, these almost feel like new signings for them because they had to go— signings for them because they had to go so— signings for them because they had to go so long without them. and we have seen— to go so long without them. and we have seen them play left back, and it is something which i'm sure some united _ it is something which i'm sure some united fans— it is something which i'm sure some united fans will have been quite unhappy— united fans will have been quite unhappy with. you united fans will have been quite unhappy with-— united fans will have been quite unhau with. ., ., , unhappy with. you mention marcus ashford. stan _ unhappy with. you mention marcus ashford. stan wallace _ unhappy with. you mention marcus ashford. stan wallace was - unhappy with. you mention marcus ashford. stan wallace was right - unhappy with. you mention marcus l ashford. stan wallace was right that if sir alex ferguson was still in charge with what's going on with him over the last few weeks, it wouldn't be a manchester united player any more. is that really the case do you think because you always ask me the

difficult questions. would there be a punishment? when he played so soon? is probably unlikely. brute a punishment? when he played so soon? is probably unlikely. we have seen erik ten _ soon? is probably unlikely. we have seen erik ten react _ soon? is probably unlikely. we have seen erik ten react too _ soon? is probably unlikely. we have seen erik ten react too much - seen erik ten react too much stricter situations. seen erik ten react too much strictersituations. he seen erik ten react too much stricter situations. he has come out and explain those decisions. so has marcus ashford. he is not really been playing well to what we expect from him. it's a little bit of things possibly going on off and on the pitch. he's a wonderful talent. manchester united desperately need him. we manchester united desperately need him. ~ , ., , manchester united desperately need him. . , . , manchester united desperately need him. . , ., manchester united desperately need him. . ,. , ., , him. we explained in depth as to why this window has _ him. we explained in depth as to why this window has been _ him. we explained in depth as to why this window has been so _ him. we explained in depth as to why this window has been so quiet. - basically financial fair play — now known as profit and sustainability — or psr if you're into catchy three letter acronyms. it's seen most clubs tighten their belts. maybe none more so than at newcastle — with all their saudi riches backing them too. katie gornall is at st james park — katie — tell us the impact its had. well, it has had a big impact because it's effectively left newcastle united with their hands

tied behind their back. as you say, they've got the riches of saudi arabia's pif fund they've got the riches of saudi arabia's piffund behind them but they are not in a position to use it because they are too close to that psr limits effectively in a position now where they have to sell in order to buy in this window. it's something the club and for it has been quite open about. it's fuelled speculation and a number of key players for them, the likes of kyran who is subject to a bed from buyer in munich. miguel ameron was linked with a move to al shabbat in saudi arabia. and gallon wales and was later removed to spain. newcastle united ultimately decided that those three were too important to let go but it's been the story of a frustrating window from the point of view of the fans. newcastle trying to keep hold of their key players rather than bringing a much window from the point of view of the fans. newcastle trying to keep hold of the key players rather than bringing much—needed reinforcements. key players rather than bringing much-needed reinforcements. katie, thank ou much-needed reinforcements. katie, thank you very _ much-needed reinforcements. katie, thank you very much. _ right — we're 45 minutes into the programme and we've not mentioned

the premier league leaders yet. mainly because they've not bought or sold anyone. but arguably the biggest football news of the month came from merseyside and didn't involve a player. let's head back tojoe. yes, no players are arriving at liverpool in this window, but few announcements will make an imprint on the future of this club quite like that imminent departure of jurgen klopp as manager. he's going at the end of the season along with his assistant pep ljinders, and their sporting directorjorg schmadtke. bbc radio merseyside's julia bold joins us. we've heard all the tributes tojurgen klopp, but how disruptive do you think it will be to lose not only him but much of liverpool's strategic backroom team alongside him, when it comes to identifying players to bring in? yeah, absolutely agree. it was interesting at the press conference last week— interesting at the press conference last week where he announced he was leaving~ _ last week where he announced he was leaving. nobody really focus too much _ leaving. nobody really focus too much on — leaving. nobody really focus too much on the transfer side and what it could _ much on the transfer side and what it could mean. that's possibly

thatis cloud out west, but it is the cloud that is going to be winning the battle, i suppose over the next few hours, progressively turning quite cloudy, a few patches of drizzle around, some rain into western scotland, but very mild air, again, flowing in off the atlantic. high pressure to the south, weather fronts to the northwest where it will be windy. gusts of wind reaching 50 mph across northern scotland where it will be damp and drizzly across western areas. elsewhere, a got to start the day, but given its quite windy, i suspect we will see some sunny breaks breaking their cost parts of east scotland to the east of the pains, about probably eastern parts of wales, maybe the eastern side of both antrim and downs. he might see some glimmers of sunshine. either way, it will be a very mild day. cooler temperatures coming up it's closer to average. sunshine and showers working in here. again, quite blustery for stopping in and wales having the thickest of the club at some patches of light rain coming and going. temperatures 1a degrees, again, well above average for this time of the year. the

average in london is nine. for sunday's forecast, again, the mild air with us. take our cloud this time. probably higher chance of seeing some damp weather at times. the far north of scotland getting quite blustery that some showers working in here. for most of us, temperatures again on the mild side. 10-14 temperatures again on the mild side. 10—14 celsius pretty widely. it then after this mild run of weather, there may be something of a to see the weather turns a lot colder next week, and for some of you, that means a return of seeing some snowfall. now, it's a little bit less certain just how cold it gets further southwards across england and wales, but it could be that we see some snow. for the time being, the models of picked up the cloud and outbreaks of cold rain at times.
