6:30 pm
for most of us, a dry day with blue sky and sunshine, this was shops earlier. a few sharp showers around towards the west. this evening and tonight, the odd shower around, not completely dry, but low cloud, some mist and fog, so it turns meike into the early hours of tomorrow. showers fading away from western areas, but our attention turns to the east with low cloud and showery rain in east anglia moving into the midlands. mild for most, but we could see lows of 3 or 4 across eastern scotland. that is how we start the day tomorrow, a lot of low cloud around parts of eastern scotland, eastern england and that will linger for some through the day. elsewhere, a cloudy and cool ear day with more showers cropping up, so they could be heavy and thundery for the south west of england towards northern ireland as well —— cooler day. showery rain further east, but it is hit—and—miss. you may keep the low
6:31 pm
cloud and sea fog around the coast of north—east england towards the firth of forth and that pegs back temperatures in the mid—teens. most of his in the high teens. tuesday evening, the rain works further north and it is courtesy of this area of low pressure. that pushes further north as we move through the day on wednesday. breezy conditions with those outbreaks of rain. that rain on wednesday could be quite heavy particularly for the north—east of england into eastern scotland. elsewhere, sunny spells and a blustery shower. temperatures coming down a notch, it does look fairly unsettled, some heavy rain especially in the north—east in the middle of the week. but for most of us, a little bit more optimistic towards the bank holiday weekend. thank you. let'sjoin towards the bank holiday weekend. thank you. let's join our colleagues for the news where you are. good evening. hello and welcome to sportsday —
6:32 pm
i'm gavin ramjaun. ahead of the curve and another title for guardiola, but how much longer will he continue to innovate and dominate in the premier league. in the premier league? in with the new for liverpool, who officially have their head coach to replacejurgen klopp as arne slot is officially confirmed by the club. and the build up begins for the paralympics — with 100 days to go, we hearfrom swimming hopeful grace harvey, as excitement builds. ifido my if i do my personal best and i get us forth i'll be happy with that. if it comes to being on the podium, i'm excited for that as well. also coming up on sportsday: the record breaking attempt at the three peaks... can imogen boddy get the better of one of toughest challenges in running. challenges in running? hello there, and welcome along to the programme.
6:33 pm
the plaudits and the accolades just keep coming for manchester city manager pep guardiola. an historic 4th consecutive premier league crown yesterday, adding to an ever growing collection of trophies since becoming a top—level manager in 2008, guardiola has won 12 league titles across three countries, six of those now, in england at manchester city. he also won the champions league as part of a famous treble last season. champions league success something which evaded him at previous side bayern munich in germany. but three bundesliga titles came during his three years in charge there, with three titles in spain before that at barcelona, where guardiola started out as a coach which included two champions leagues. it really is an incredible streak in such a short space of time, so how much desire and drive is there to keep going. patrick geary�*s been looking at what could be next for the man many call a footballing genius. champions again!
6:34 pm
repetitive, but endlessly innovative. six, count them six premier league titles for pep guardiola at manchester city, including an unprecedented four in a row. add to that last season's european cup and what worlds does guardiola have left to conquer? i had that feeling last season when we won istanbul. i said, it's over what i'm doing here? it's over. there's nothing left. i start to think about, oh, no one has done four in a row. why? and now i'm feeling it's done. so what next? it's about next season. right now, i'm not able to know exactly what will be the motivation to do it, because it's difficult sometimes to find it when everything is done. the immediate future is the fa cup final at wembley and the chance of a first double double. some place an asterisk around city's success because of the 115 premier league charges which hang over them. but guardiola's impacts in the game can be measured notjust in the trophies he's lifted, but the coaches he's raised. not least the manager of his closest
6:35 pm
challengers, arsenal, who last week told the bbc what he'd learned from his mentor. how hard you have to work regardless what you have earned in the past, or the quality of the of the players that you have and then maintain that will that ambition and enthusiasm every single day to be willing to do more and be able to transmit that to the whole football club. and pep is extraordinary at that. the guardiola's style of football has evolved from his roots at barcelona and been molded by the faster and more physical game played in germany and england. you know it when you see it. the pressing, the passing, the awareness of space, spectacular when applied by the world's best chance for doku number five. but everyone does it now. this was ninth tier darlaston town in fa cup qualifying, playing their version of the pep way. spanish football journalist guillem balague has seen it
6:36 pm
in his role as chairman of biggleswade town. domination of the ball, going through midfield, isolating the wingers with the full backs, that kind of thing. the fans are asking us to do that is transform the football culture in the world. you're talking about somebody that thinks ahead, that is ahead of the curve, that is at the forefront of a new way of understanding the game. guardiola himself has stayed longer in his role at city than he did at barcelona or bayern munich, but he has only one year left on his contract and has admitted he's currently closer to leaving than staying after this season. it'd be interesting to see him doing what he does, which is a constant correction of players that think they know everything. doing it constantly, every day, doing a little. doing it when they've just won a game, doing it the morning after, doing it through whatsapp videos, all of that with the national side.
6:37 pm
so perhaps there is one more way for guardiola to take on the world, but part of his success is you never quite know what he's going to try next. patrick geary, bbc news. it's all change now at one of city's title rivals liverpool, and it was only a matter of time before the club confirmed their new head coach. arne slot is the man to takeover from jurgen klopp, the club officially announced today. our correspondent andy swiss is here with me now. andy, we know this has been coming for a while. what more do we know on the deal, and what sort of boss liverpool will be getting? as you say, news we've been expecting for some time. finally, it is official. arne slot has signed a three—year contract. he'll officially start on june three—year contract. he'll officially start onjune one. this after they agreed a compensation deal worth more than £9 million, which gives you an idea ofjust highly date rate him. also worth
6:38 pm
noting that he has been announced as head coach of liverpool rather than a manager as part of their new look structure under their new sporting director for the why have they gone for arne slot? he's enjoyed a lot of success in his three years at feyenoord. last year they won the dutch league title, they won the dutch league title, they won the dutch league title, they won the dutch league cup. quite a few similarities withjuergen klopp. likejuergen klopp he was a fairly unremarkable player who's been a far more successful manager likejuergen more successful manager like juergen klopp more successful manager likejuergen klopp he has a reputation for playing dynamic, exciting football and for being an excellent man manager who gets the best out of his players he certainly had the backing of klopp on the pitch at anfield urging the fans to get behind the new man. one thing is certain, arne slot has a pretty tough act to follow. �* shoes to fill. well slot is just one of the new names to take charge of premier league sides
6:39 pm
in the coming weeks. brighton are on the hunt for a replacement, after roberto de zerbi announced his departure, ahead of the final day, having guided the club to the last 16 of the europa league. and west ham look set to appoint their successor to david moyes this week — moyes leaves after his second stint in charge of the hammers. i spoke to our football reporter simon stone on who'll be filling the gaps, starting at the hammers. former rio madrid and spain coach also did well for the and wolves where it last season he kept them in the premier league from a very unpromising position. ithink the premier league from a very unpromising position. i think this is been on the cards for a while. we know for a couple of weeks that david moyes will be leaving west ham after yesterday's game at manchester city. and even moyes who said he's taken somejob city. and even moyes who said he's taken some job offers are ready, he wants a break. and he has had his

6:41 pm
the premier league in the managerial fraternity, it looks as though there's going to be a lot of movement over the next few weeks. there's going to be a lot of movement over the next few weeks. the managerial talk spreads to the womens super league too — with title winners chelsea on the search for someone to takeoverfrom emma hayes. that's set to be the lyon boss sonia bompastor, but after her side play in the champions league final this weekend. jo curriejoined me earlier — and said how hayes — who leaves to take charge of the us womens national team, will feel, after clinching the title. pleased and relieved, i suspect. just two weeks ago hayes it all up and conceded the title race that looked like she may finish herfinal season at chelsea trophy list. after twists and turns in the title race going into the final day levelled on point with manchester city, a slight goal advantage. point with manchester city, a slight goaladvantage. old point with manchester city, a slight goal advantage. old trafford and beat manchester united 6—0 which no one expected to win by that much without the title was finally hers. it means that hayes can sign up the

6:52 pm
is running 422 miles over the uk's highest mountains — ben nevis in scotland, scafell pike in cumbria, and snowdon in wales. the previous record from sea—level to sea—level is 7 days and 31 minutes — and was set in 1979. nicola rees caught up with imo before she set off. so you'll have to run 100 kilometres every day for seven days. can you do it? i can do it, chris. i can do it. yes, you can. at this stage it's all about the positive attitude. imo boddy�*s set her sights on a british fell running record. she wants to be the fastest to complete the national three pea ks challenge. yes, huge challenge. i train unbelievably hard and i feel ready, but i'm nervous. i think our biggest challenge is actually probably going to be scafell pike, because that's the point where you're four—and—a—half days in at this stage so very fatigued. coach chris is in charge of logistics. for months now, he's had imo
6:53 pm
running 100 miles a week. sprint? go on, then go. all the hard work physically has been done, so now it's just keeping imo nice and calm, controlled. we've been out training in six inches of snow up ben nevis. now it's just about ignoring the things we can't control, remembering all the hard work that she's put in and thenjust being ready to go when it's time. yeah, three big mountains starting at sea level, hiking a big mountain, running to the next, hiking up a mountain and then running to the next. 420 miles or 16 marathons back—to—back. she'll have to reach the top of ben nevis in scotland, scafell pike in cumbria and snowdon in wales. do you recognise that gate? yeah, it's going to say i think i saw that. it's past cameron house, isn't it? the current record stands at seven days and 31 minutes. it was set in 1979 by british race walker anne sayer. don't underestimate how fast
6:54 pm
that woman could walk. she could walk at five miles an hour and took only a 15—minute break in a 14—hour day of walking. i think she's an inspiration and it's going to be hopefully a very cool thing to break. this was the support crew back then. today it's much the same. imo's mum and dad will be on hand with food and dry clothes. i think i'll be making lots of these. you will be. well, she's certainly very headstrong, isn't she? certainly headstrong. very determined. when she's running, she'll- have a tracker on her so we'll be following the tracker - and we will stop every ten kilometres and we will be at those designated spots every time - with all the refreshments and whatever's required. | change of clothing. socks. i've trained unbelievably hard and had a lot of practice with nutrition and hydration, but it's going to be unbelievably tough, so it's definitely not going to be easy. i have absolute faith that she will beat this record, but making a mistake, it will take every ounce
6:55 pm
of her strength, both mental and physical. imo has form. two years ago, she ran the length of the uk becoming the youngest female to complete the challenge. this time, though, she's aiming higher. three peaks world record, here i come! nicola rees, bbc news. good luck to herfor that good luck to her for that rather her than me. good luck to herfor that rather her than me. thank you very much. that's all from sportsday. hello. thanks forjoining me. it's been a warm monday and a fine end to the day for many of us with scattered, fairweather, clouds, hazy sunshine. the fairweather, clouds, hazy sunshine. clouds will coi showers the clouds will continue to and showers if they have informed where you are. satellite picture, the cloudiest guys have been across more central and northern parts of the uk so far. sati is in the cell. this is
