time for a look at the weather. here's stav danaos. thanks very much, ben. good afternoon. we enjoyed some good, dry, much—needed dry weather this weekend. it was chilly, really cool for the time of year, for the rest of this week, we hold onto that chilly feeling air, our air source coming down from the north, mostly dry, but there will be outbreaks of rain. the best of sunshine towards the west. we hold onto this northerly airflow for the next few days, for most of this week, and the mildest air will stay in the atlantic. this is because we have this area of high pressure which has retreated westwards, meaning we are dragging down northerly winds. these weather fronts across the country today have brought some patchy rain. you can see the rain on the radar satellite here. affecting north—east of england, through the midlands and down into south—west and central areas. the best of sunshine across more south—eastern areas and across western scotland and northern ireland, where we will continue to see the driest of the weather and the best of the sunshine if any. we
1:31 pm
held onto grey, damp weather through central areas. that impact impact the temperatures. single digits for many through tonight, south and east. it will turn quite cold with a touch of frost here and there. certainly some sheltered glens across scotland, less cold where we have the cloud, but still with a chilly feel. tuesday, a little different. high pressure stays out towards the west. we continue with northerly winds, feeling and more cloud, if you share was to eastern scotland and eastern england where it will really feel quite cold at times, patchy rain across south—western elan. the best sunshine out west, as you can see, and that will show in the temperatures. the mid—teens for northern ireland, 16—17 for glasgow, and glasgow could therefore be the one spot of the uk for the next few days. wednesday, a similar story,
1:32 pm
thick cloud across northern and eastern areas, where it will be a slight north—easterly onshore breeze. best of any dry and brighter weather towards the west. the odd shower around any drizzle close to the north sea coast. a chilly day across the north sea, single figures, 6—9, just about double figures, 6—9, just about double figures for the west. little change for the end of the week. we are in between weather systems. still in the cooler air mass. this area of low pressure could sideswipe the south—west of the uk to produce a few showers. don't take this too literally, because the weather may change for the end of the week. it's one of those difficult stories to predict, because we are in between weather systems. still staying chilly for many. thank you very much indeed. and that's bbc news at one. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye.

hello and welcome to sportsday this monday lunchtime with me chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... what next for nottingham forest? the fa's investigating their post—match comments after the club accused the video assistant referee of being a luton fan following their loss at everton. former champion shaun murphy cruises into the second round at the world snooker championship but four—time winner mark selby is in danger of going out. and five out of five, no stopping nelly korda. who wins the first women's major of the year and a record—equalling fifth lpga tournament in a row. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. so many talking points after a dramatic weekend of football,
1:34 pm
not least nottingham forest's post match comments questioning the integrity of match officials after their defeat at everton. they accused the video assistant referee of supporting their relegation rivals luton and are now being investigated by the football association with possible repercussions to follow. forest were aggrieved that several penalty decisions went against them with the club's offical social media account saying... "three extremely poor decisions — three penalties not given — which we cannot accept. we warned the pgmol that the var is a luton fan before the game but they didn't change him. our patience has been tested multiple times. the club will now consider its options." all he incidents where forest wanted a penalty involved everton's ashley young. they felt he caught the back of their player's boot here when the game was goalless before then accusing the ex—england man of handballjust before the break. their third complaint was for this tackle on callum hudson—odoi, but none of them given.
1:35 pm
here's the forest manager nuno espirito santo speaking after the game. it's a very poor decision of anthony taylor, very poor decision of var. very poor decision. and it's happening to us over and over again. no, it's difficult to tell the players to ignore and keep on going, because it's very clear. we made a formal complaint saying that we would like to change the var situation, they didn't do it, and it's not good. the manager could face action from the football association too for his comments there. not surprisingly, there's been plenty of reaction to forest's social media post. the thoughts of their former stiker robert earnshaw to come but first here's the former premier league referee peter walton. it is unprecedented, and it shouldn't be allowed at all. if it
1:36 pm
came from a fan, you could understand it, but coming from an official club website, it is poor. the issue here is, if the referee is useless, he is useless, but he is not a cheat. it is a integrity issue. that is why our referees are valued around the world because we do not have that issue. some referees make wrong decisions, i have made wrong decisions but i don't do things on purpose. one thing we should not have questioned is our impartiality towards teams. so to name individual and accuse them of cheating isjust so to name individual and accuse them of cheating is just poor value in its entirety. going through the platform x was not the right— going through the platform x was not the right way, it wasn't the right way to— the right way, it wasn't the right way to do— the right way, it wasn't the right way to do it but you have to say that _ way to do it but you have to say that at — way to do it but you have to say that at the _ way to do it but you have to say that at the same time, i have not

1:38 pm
it is interesting because the implication was that nottingham forest had asked him to be removed from the game but i have been told that while there was a conversation between nottingham forest consultant under former between nottingham forest consultant underformer premier between nottingham forest consultant under former premier league between nottingham forest consultant underformer premier league referee, and the head of refereeing howard webb, on this issue of atwell and his suitability of var for the game, at no point was it requested that he be removed from the game. i don't think, given the lateness of the call on friday, i'm given how many officials have to slot into games, i'm not sure that request, even if it had done could have been accommodated. in it had done could have been accommodated.— it had done could have been accommodated. in terms of the football association, _ accommodated. in terms of the football association, what - accommodated. in terms of the football association, what are l accommodated. in terms of the i football association, what are we looking at in terms of timelines? it will be interesting because it seems to be a clear case of breaking the
1:39 pm
rules, of inferring that the officials have not been clear in terms of who they support and who they want to win games, and manipulating matches. that is very serious. it is automatic that there will be a charge, i wouldn't be surprised if it was today, it may be tomorrow, but i don't see it would be a long period of time because it is such a obvious area of controversy and contention. much more on it — controversy and contention. much more on it to _ controversy and contention. much more on it to come, _ controversy and contention. much more on it to come, no _ controversy and contention. much more on it to come, no doubt. - controversy and contention. much more on it to come, no doubt. thank you. we going to stay with the subject of var controversy — this time the fall out is in spain — where barcelona manger xavi says it's a disgrace that goalline technology isn't used in la liga like it is in the english premier league — after his side were beaten 3—2 at real madrid in el classico the score was one all when lamine yamal thought he'd restored barca's lead. he was adamant the ball had crossed
1:40 pm
the line but la liga doesn't have goalline technology and the video assistant referee decided it wasn't a goal. barca went ahead again before real once more levelled at 2—2, and then the home side won it at the death thanks tojude bellingham's stoppage time winner that puts real 11 points clear at the top of the table with just six games to go. yesterday, you also asked me about the referee, i told you that i wanted them to be unnoticed and make the right decisions, he failed on both. it is a pity. my feeling is that today has been unfair and everybody has seen it, the match has been unfair, that is my feeling and i cannot lie, especially to our fans. today it has been unfair and everybody has seen. four—time snooker world champion mark selby is in danger of a shock
1:41 pm
first—round exit at the crucible afterjoe o'connor, making his debut, took a commanding 7—2 lead. he only needs three frames to reach the last 16 this afternoon. no worries for the 2005 winner shaun murphy though, he's into the last 16 after a really impressive performance against china's lyu haotian. murphy was 6—3 ahead after yesterday's first session — and then today — won four of the next seven frames — 10—5 it finished. he'll next play scotland's stephen maguire. nelly korda equalled an lpga record by winning her fifth tournament in a row. she claimed the first women's major of the year at the chevron championship last night korda started the final round one shot behind south korea's ryu hae—ran, but came out on top after a three—under 69 on a windy day in texas. she ended up on 13—under to win her second major by two shots korda celebrated by leaping into the water — something of a tradition. nancy lopez and annika sorenstam are the only other players to have
1:42 pm
won five consecutive lpga events. it is an amazing feeling because all the hard work and the doubt that i had in my head from 2021, you know, i worked through it, it has been an amazing feeling these past few weeks knowing that i can go on the stretch and if i stay in my bubble and i keep golf simple and let it flow, i can have so much fun out here. and it has been an amazing time, to get five in a row, my lucky number is 13 and for me to get it here in houston, for it to be a major feels even better. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.
1:43 pm
you are watching bbc news with me sarah campbell. we start with one of our main stories — rishi sunak says his government's rwanda bill will become law — despite fierce opposition from the house of lords. speaking earlier this morning, the prime minister said mps and the lords will have to vote tonight, until the bill — to send some asylum seekers to rwanda — is finally passed. mr sunak said the first flight to rwanda would leave "in 10 to 12 weeks" — and the legislation will again be put before the commons in the coming hours. there has been a prolonged stand—off between the two houses of parliament for the past four months, amid concerns about how safe rwanda actually is for asylum seekers. mr sunak set out a timeline for his plan. the first flight will leave in ten to 12 weeks. now, of course that is later
1:44 pm
than we wanted, but we have always been clear that processing will take time and if labour peers had not spent weeks holding up the bill in the house of lords to try to block these flights altogether, we would have begun this process weeks ago. let's let's take a closer look at the controversial policy and the stakes. so far this year, more than six thousand migrants have made the journey across the channel from continental europe to england. under the policy, anyone "entering the uk illegally", could be sent to rwanda, with no limit on numbers. the government hopes the policy will stop people trying to make the dangerous crossing on small boats. the plan has been strongly criticised by human rights groups and the uk supreme court ruled the policy was unlawful. labour of course aren't impressed by mr sunak�*s plan. here's the home affairs spokesperson yvette cooper. this is costing the taxpayer half
1:45 pm
a billion pounds for a scheme that would only cover i% of asylum seekers. this is an extortionate scheme, they should be putting that money into boosting our border security instead, that is what labour would do. the safety of rwanda bill is central to mr sunak�*s plans to "stop the boats" — arguing the scheme would acts as a effective deterrent for people who cross the channel in small boats. effectively, the legislation would drastically limit the grounds for legal challenges to the rwanda scheme and it gives ministers the power to disregard some human rights law. here's our political correspondent harry farley with more on mr sunak�*s announcement. there are some interesting details there about when he expects flight to take off, he said 10—12 weeks as you said there. and some interesting detail about the work the government has been doing behind—the—scenes to ensure that this plan is ready to go and is operational as soon as possible.
