2:51 am
he is yet to agree personal terms. if it goes through it will be a profit for city. they signed him two years ago £14 million. here is or our chief football reporter. what manchester city have been good at over the years is maximising income from player sales. i guess this is an example. $81.5 million this could be worth before the add—ones are met and that would be by a margin the largest sale in their history, which was previously £50 million, for stirling. a good deal for the sale though i think manchester would have preferred alvarez to remain at the club. the interesting point is that savinho was unveiled as city's

newest signing, 20. he's from brazil. he was excellent in girona's run last season that got them into this season's champions league. you would have thought initially it will be whether he gets more games than would have been anticipated. the head of rugby union's governing body defended the decision to sell the naming rights to twickenham. next month it will be called the allianz stadium. the multiyear deal is worth over £100 million with the insurance firm. what do you call this? for some it's the home of rugby, headquarters, certainly twickenham. well, no henceforth this will be the allianz stadium. you sold the soul of the home of rugby by renaming it after a commercial partner. i mean, a bit of truth in that? fully understandable. i don't believe we've sold out.
2:53 am
it's an iconic stadium, the home of rugby, ebbs experiences are incredible. people love it. we have great matches with the red roses in september and the autumn internationals. we believe this will help us build on the legacy. it will take us into decades. it's money we need to invest back to the game. we had a trough time coming out of covid. the game is under pressure. we saw three professional clubs go out of business last year. that was painful. this is money we need to invest back to the community to keep the pipeline going. will this ensure that doesn't happen again? will it ensure that no other club goes to the wall? it's part of a total coffer. we invest across a range of initiatives. we work closely with premiership rugby on the future sustainability of the game. we have programs to protect against that. this money, allianz were clear that for them this investment had a priority to get
2:54 am
into the community again. of course, the point of naming rights is that people use the name. after well over a century of being twickenham, that might be a hard habit to break. i suppose time will tell. a reminder of the top story: shock in the men's1500m, hocker taking gold, one of two american medals on the track, which moved them to interest top of the table above china. australia third, france fourth. they have won surfing gold to take them up there to the table. no golds for great britain on day 11 but they stay fifth, a total of 21 golds can be won on wednesday. you can follow every twist in paris on the bbc sport app or the website. from me and the rest of the team, goodbye.

hello there. there was some sunshine around on tuesday. there will be again on wednesday, and it looks like it should be a dry day across east anglia in the south east this time, whereas on tuesday the rain that we had here was much slower to clear away. but it has moved away together with that weather front, we've got low pressure bringing some wetter, windy weather towards the northwest of the uk, but we've all got this west or southwesterly wind that's blowing in cooler and fresher air, so these are the temperatures first thing in the morning. it'll be a cooler start to the day through the midlands and eastern parts of england, with some sunshine around as well. there will be some sunshine around on wednesday. we're also going to find some showers too, particularly across the northern half of the uk, where the winds will be a bit stronger. and some heavier rain and more persistent rain could affect northern and western scotland in the morning, followed by lots of showers, some of them heavy in the north.
2:56 am
sunshine and showers for northern ireland. some showers near these western coasts of england and wales will get blown further inland across wales and northern england, but a good chance of staying dry towards the southeast. here we've got the highest temperatures, not quite as high as tuesday, but still 23 degrees, 18 in the central belt of scotland. that low pressure bringing the stronger winds in the north, and those showers will pull away overnight, but it allows more weather systems to come in from the atlantic. so we're going to find the cloud increasing and thickening through the morning, outbreaks of rain beginning to arrive, likely to turn wetter in the afternoon across northern ireland, northern england and up into scotland. towards the southeast and the east anglia, there will be very little rain at all — a lot of cloud, yes, but temperatures again 23 degrees. generally, though, those numbers are a little below average for this time of the year. now, that wetter weather that does develop tends to move away towards the north and west overnight, leaving us with some drier prospects for friday. there still could be a weather front hanging around here across southern england during the morning, with a little rain. that then moves away,
2:57 am
we get some sunshine following on behind. showers coming into the north, particularly across the northwest of scotland, and those could be quite heavy as well, those temperatures not changing a great deal for northern areas, but it should warm up a bit through the midlands towards the southeast of england. quick look ahead to the weekend — very mixed weather, chance of some rain at times, but on sunday and particularly monday, signs of something much, much warmer across southeastern parts of the uk.
