just to name a few. in conjunction with the release of the book black arsenal, as well as celebrating their contributions on the pitch, the club also looks at the role those players had in building the relationship with the local and wider black communities. when i started all those years ago in the mid—19 70s, there was no black players, no black supporters, no plaque anything. i was the first one at arsenal to make it through and for our community, that was powerful. when you are getting 60,000 worth 70,000, you have to find a way otherwise you go under. he built up a commodity and felt safe within and there is a lot of black arsenal supporters and jeff to ask the reason why, it comes from
6:55 pm
somewhere and in my mind, that's where it came from. the relationship between arsenal and black identity is said to transcend football. music, food, culture, all areas the club is used to reflect its multicultural fandom. i'm a i'm a local fan i'm a localfan rather than an arsenalfanned and as i'm a localfan rather than an arsenal fanned and as a young kid, he gave a sense of recognition on the playground and what i realised is there is a transition in the early 90s where he ian wright emerged and often a much more direct form which for myself and people around me which conversations in the barbershop that suddenly became focused on ian wright and kevin campbell and beyond. people asked me, by arsenal, what makes arsenal different is you can trace the black connection beyond the pitch. tudor;r connection beyond the pitch. today there are different _ connection beyond the pitch. today there are different societal- there are different societal challenges for players and supporters, but the club's relationship with the community is

hours and three minutes away now. the website is all over that. you can also watch today at the test starting on there and bbc two at seven o'clock. and there's also the penultimate diamon league meeting oif the season in rome getting under way. your evening is sorted. from all of us here, goodbye. hello there. there will be some changes over the course of the weekend, but friday was a very pleasant day actually with the sunshine and light winds. high pressure in charge. but that's going to start to move away this weekend. a lot of the cloud that did bubble up isjust going to melt away this evening, leaving us with clear skies for many places. one or two mist and fog patches. there's a bit more cloud in the far southeast, and the breeze is picking up here. threatens one or two showers. that'll keep the temperatures a bit higher, but with clearer skies further north, it's going to be another chilly night, particularly in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures down to three or four degrees. this cloud that comes in from the south east will push a little bit further north into england and wales.
6:58 pm
still could be the odd shower around, particularly towards the southwest in the afternoon. a lot of places will be dry. we've got sunnier skies as you head further north across the uk. the winds will be a bit stronger, mind you, particularly across east anglia, the southeast and through the english channel. but with that sort of wind direction, it means this part of the country will be a little bit warmer. we're going to find temperatures getting into the low 20s for this area, and we could see a boost in those temperatures in the southeast as we see a bit more sunshine during the afternoon. and overnight, those temperatures aren't going to fall a great deal across southern areas. it could be a much more uncomfortable night for sleeping here. and that's because we're going to draw in a bit more warmth and humidity ahead of this weather front that's coming in from the atlantic. the high pressure slowly retreating across towards scandinavia. could be a few showers developing across some northern parts of england and east anglia with the threat of a few thunderstorms. and then, as we see a bit more sunshine across england and wales, we'll develop a few more of those storms into the afternoon. quite warm and humid air here.
