but that he now needed a period of intensive care. our sports correspondent david 0rnstein reports. he is one of the greatest figures that football, indeed sport, has ever seen. the messages of support for sir alex ferguson from all over the world testament to the regard of which he is held. this was the 76—year—old week ago in high spirits and seemingly good health. last night news emerged he had been taken to hospital. a manchester united statement said... speculation began when his son darren, manager of doncaster rovers, was absent from their match against wigan athletic yesterday, with the club saying it was for family reasons. in a 26—year reign, sir alex ferguson led

manchester united to an incredible 38 trophies, famously winning the treble of premier league, fa cup and champions league in 1999, the same year he was knighted. well—wishers poured in. everyone at match of the day sends our best wishes to sir alex ferguson, who has had emergency surgery after suffering a brain haemorrhage. our thoughts are with sir alex and his family. sir alex ferguson's success at old trafford earned him legendary status. the hope is he will win this battle off the pitch as he did so often on it. david 0rnstein, bbc news. joining me now from barcelona is the football writer andy mitten. he's been the editor of the fanzine united we stand since 1989. thanks forjoining us. longevity to

match that of sir alex, in football terms. you first met him as a budding fanzine editor. you know him a long time. i first wrote to him in 1991 requesting an interview, and he wrote back saying he didn't like fanzines, but wrote back saying he didn't like fa nzines, but he wrote back saying he didn't like fanzines, but he had read errors and he liked it, i don't know why, because it was pretty terrible at the time! i had to come to this changing rooms after a game, knocked on the door of the changing room, something unimaginable now because of the security and the size of the club, and he walked through, a sea of stea m club, and he walked through, a sea of steam coming through the showers, and he said, now is not the time, let's meet in trondheim in a couple of days. i turned up at the nortel in trondheim, to commit with me, to go to big ghetto blaster to take the

interview. he started laughing at bay. after an hour of me asking hopeless questions, i said i had to go to go and see my mates. 28 years on i'm still working as a journalist, and i think my regret was in the very first interview that didn't take more of that opportunity. but as with many manchester united fans and aberdeen fans, he has changed our lives, enriched our lives. i have travelled the world chiefly because of that man. i have had incredible highlights watching the double teams he managed, revolutionised my local club, man utd, notjust the team but the entire club. from a team getting average crowds of 37,000 to probe with the biggest football club in the world. i echo the thoughts of everybody else and hoping that the mexican recovery. he is certainly in good hands and the salford neurological department. a building he was apparently involved in the opening ceremony of a few years back. in terms of his record of

achievement, it is unanswerable and terms and the rest, but there is quite a lot about the way he managed the team, and his role in developing the team, and his role in developing the club, as something more than a football team. he was given complete control in the areas he wanted, that wasn't areas like merchandise which manchester united were never shy looking at the potential of, but in terms of building the team, identifying players, pointing his staff. he arrived with 23 assistants, and by the end he had a personal staff of over 30 people, and yet he was always the first into the training ground. a very loyal man. many people have that argument with them. he was a strong man. he inspired respect and fear and admiration. and he was extremely successful at what he did, on a consistent basis. he didn'tjust build one great team, he built several. he made manchester united the best team in the world on two occasions. and that's why man utd

fa ns occasions. and that's why man utd fans and people in football have sent fantastic messages, from liverpool and city, big rivals, saying they hope pupils who gets better. that shows the huge respect in the world of football and beyond for sir alex ferguson. we saw he was in public for a big photo opportunity last sunday, handing over that trophy of commendation to arsene wenger. they seemed very warm to each other, given how relations had been on the touchline over the yea rs. had been on the touchline over the years. he looked in good health. he has not wasted the five years of his retirement, he has not gone fishing opened up his feet, he has been travelling the world, lecturing about leadership. people still want about leadership. people still want a piece of the fergie magic. he is in huge demand. he asked all offered to books. he goes to man utd games, he isa to books. he goes to man utd games, he is a regular meetings, he is very visible. he keeps a private opinion

when it comes to manchester united matters because he does not want to overs ha d ow matters because he does not want to overshadow the managers who have followed him. but as you said, he appeared to be in rude health, and that has been the consistent feedback i have had from people who have known him well and come across that he is still full of life, enjoying his retirement. i thought it was a class touch from man utd to arsene wenger last week, because he isa arsene wenger last week, because he is a great manager as well. they had their moments. it was like the two heavyweights at the end of the fight hugging each other. i thought it was a beautiful moment when arsene wenger walked alongside the man utd standard was applauded by man utd fa ns standard was applauded by man utd fans because you certainly would not have got that 15 years ago. and it was a good touch from ferguson. he respected arsene wenger pushing man utd, and making them notjust the best tea m utd, and making them notjust the best team in england but in europe and the world. without the brilliance of arsenal at that time i don't man utd would've got to the level they got it. andy, ending on a

really positive note there, and we waited to hear the latest from old trafford. let's get the very latest now with 0livia richwald who's at old trafford. no news, and of course no news is good news in this situation. that's right. the most recent information we have came from manchester united last night. still no updates. as far as we know he is still in intensive care. that is not unexpected given the brain haemorrhage in the surgery he has been through. it is very quiet here, the team played on friday. but there are tourists and fa ns friday. but there are tourists and fans on the concourse visiting the museum and going to the shop. and he is forefront in their minds at the moment. social media has been buzzing with messages, many of them from former players, including the

very famous cristiano ronaldo who played here for four years. very famous cristiano ronaldo who played here forfour years. he tweeted a picture of himself and sir alex, and tweeted, "my thoughts and prayers are with you, dear friend. be strong, boss." and another man synonymous with man utd, david beckham, he has also put on instagram a picture of himself with alex ferguson, and written, "keep fighting, boss, sending prayers to cathy and the family." and there have also been messages from big rivals. manchester city play later today and lots of the team have tweeted saying, "get well soon, so alex," including the captain. another great rival is liverpool football club. "a great rival and a great friend who supported us during one of our most difficult times. we hope for a full recovery. he has our full support." during his 26 years managing man utd he won't 38

trophies. he was known as a fierce disciplinarian with a no—nonsense approach. and everyone here is hoping that it is that determination to win that is going to help them win his latest and most personal battle. spain's high court has confirmed that one of britain's most wanted fugitives, who was arrested in barcelona on friday, has accepted his extradition back to the uk. jamie acourt was detained on suspicion of the large—scale supply of drugs. let's get the latest with tom burridge who's in barcelona. so tom we're now expecting the extradition to the uk to be quite quick? yes, basically yesterday jamie acourt appeared at a court hearing here in barcelona via video link in front of a judge in madrid at the spanish high court. what would've happened, because it was a closed session, he would have been asked

whether he accepts his extradition to britain or not. he could have opposed it, and extradition could have taken weeks. in the end he accepted it, and his transfer back to britain could be imminent. he was arrested under a european arrest warrant. that's why these procedures can be fairly quick. this was a long police investigation. intelligence led between officers here in spain and britain. eventually he was arrested at a gym in barcelona on friday. we understand when he gets back to britain he won't necessarily be arrested, it is not necessary because it is an exhibition, but he will be questioned by officers from the metropolitan police because he is wanted on suspicion of being involved supplying around of cannabis. the other thing to note about him is that he was one of the original suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence back in 1993. he has never been charged in connection with the murder of the black teenager, and he has always denied any involvement in the killing.

up to 1,500 junior doctors have had job offers withdrawn, following a mistake in the recruitment process. the royal college of physicians said the error meant medics who'd been scored on their suitability for posts as registrars were given the wrong marks. the college said human error was to blame in transferring data from one computer to another. the college has apologised and says patient safety had not been compromised. earlier, our correspondent andy moore explained the situation facing the junior doctors. everyone agrees, a terrible situation. these are junior doctors, they have completed their training. have done two years doctoring. finished their apprenticeship, as it were, and moving to the next step as registrars. completed exams, done the interviews. in the interview process, something went wrong. it seems to be human error, not computer this time. the wrong marks were transferred across and 1500 junior doctors offered jobs.

yesterday, those jobs were retracted. the royal college of physicians who organised the process say the whole thing will be looked at again. for individuals, they were told one month ago they had a job in a certain area. they and their partners are making offers on houses, planning to move. some of them are in tears, we have heard, and their colleagues. the british medical association is hopping mad on their behalf. they talk about, "we cannot express how u na cce pta ble we find the situation, the emotional and financial impact." looking at what steps they can take to rectify the immense damage caused. not ruling out that there may be claims for compensation. also complaints about the fact this was dropped late on a friday night just before a bank holiday weekend, so a lot ofjunior doctors complaining about that. presumably, some people away or finding it difficult to contact the people whose property they might be moving into to rent, who knows?

clearly complicated. what sort of time frame are people operating in? expecting to be starting these jobs in the next couple of months, or the autumn? in the short term. we have heard from individual doctors on twitter, ben hudson says, "speaks volumes for how the royal college of physicians values junior doctors, carelessly playing with people's future. life plans made on the basis of spurious offers. dumped at 4:16 just before a bank holiday." another: "i spent yesterday viewing houses." "i thought, finally, some stability." interesting to find out

if this was an absolute commitment or indication. cases of what it calls non—retractable offers. presumably most of the offers were retractable. i suspect the individuals and the british medical association may take a different view on that. the headlines on bbc news: sir alex ferguson is in intensive care after emergency surgery following a brain haemorrhage. some of the biggest names in sport have sent messages of support, including david beckham, signed by sir alex at 16, who wrote: "keep fighting boss". jamie acourt — who is wanted over alleged drugs offences — has accepted his extradition to britain, according an official at spain's high court. his transfer to the uk could now happen very soon. a 17 year old boy has died after being shot in southwark in south london — neighbours say bullets went through a window narrowly missing a woman in her garden. sport now, and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's holly hamilton.

in reaction to the news that sir alex ferguson. comments from fans, managers, clubs, and overwhelming amount of support. he's recovering from emergency surgery for a brain haemorrhage and remains in intensive care — however his former club manchester united say the operation went very well. just last weekend sir alex was on the pitch at old trafford presenting his rival arsene wenger with a commemorative vase. the scot is widely regarded as britain's most successful football manager, winning 49 trophies, including 13 premier league titles. the football association, fifa, uefa, clubs and fans have been sending messages of support. it is quite sad. local people are shocked. we hope he pulls through.

he means a lot to the club, doesn't he? i'm a leeds supporter but obviously i respect sir alex and what he has done for football. the greatest football manager of all time. i come from copenhagen, denmark, and i send him all the best wishes from danish supporters of united. he has done a lot for the game. he has got one premier league title every two seasons pretty much, which is unheard of for a manager. and obviously fans from all over the world, whether local fans or man utd fans, city fans or from any other team, they all feel the same way, you don't wish this on anybody. it's the final day of the championship in england — cardiff are a point ahead of fulham

in second place and automatic promotion. derby, preston or millwall could take the final play—off place. and two out of reading, birmingham, barnsley, burton and bolton will be relegated. all those games kick off at half past twelve. scottish champions celtic are just kicking off at hearts. last time the two met at tynecastle, the edinburgh side ended celtic‘s record of 69 unbeaten domestic matches with a spectacular 4—0 win. tony bellew says he hopes david haye will retire after he beat him for a second time. the former cruiserweight world champion stopped the former heavyweight world champion in the fifth round of their rematch in london last night. my first words to him, when he hugged me, i wasjust a bit emotional, i was on my knees on the canvas, and he came over to me and said "brother, you done me. " everything was right and you just beat me." i said to him, "please stop. "please stop." this is a very unforgiving sport. it is a young man's game. it is a young man's game for a fighter with the attributes

that david haye relies on. mark williams will face john higgins in the final of snooker‘s world championship. williams beat barry hawkins late last night in sheffield. it finished 17—15 to the welshman, who will be going for a third world title. he faces four—time champion higgins after he beat kyren wilson. whoever wins will be the oldest winner since ray reardon in 1978. 12 months ago i was really thinking about retiring, even two or three years ago, i wouldn't get into the quarters or semifinals of anything. what a season. ijust can't believe it. and if i win it willjust top the best season i've had for years and years, but if i don't win, it is still one of the best seasons i've had for years. and i've just got to go out there and enjoy it, and hopefully if it does go close, towards the end i don't collapse like a cheap tent again.

i keep using the word proud. i'm proud 20 years later that 20 years after the first one and ready to compete in another one. it can taste it feeling. mark has won it before, twice, he's going for a third, i'm going for a fifth, 18 years after he won it, 20 years after i won it. and my god, he is bald and i'm grey! that's all the sport for now. i'll have more in the next hour. a 17 year old boy has died after being shot in southwark in south london. officers including police firearms and air ambulance attended the scene on warham street but the victim, named by his family as rhyhiem ainsworth barton, was pronounced dead just before 7pm. no arrests have yet been made. we have heard from people living in the area but there was some kind of chase around the suburban streets.

this is a very residential area for the families, and yesterday was a hot and sunny day like today. this is a very residential area for the families. yesterday was a hot and sunny day like today and there were lots of people out with their children. what people are saying is that there was a chase involving a car and mopeds around the streets. numerous shots were fired, including one which they say narrowly missed a woman when she was gardening, and actually went through her window. the victim, named by his mother as rhyhiem ainsworth barton, she says he was on his way back from football practice and was trying to get a job mentoring young people in the area when he was shot. she said he was a good boy who was not involved in any sort of crime at all and was an innocent victim, she says, of increasing violence in this area. i spoke to a woman who lives next door to the house which was fired into, and she says it is an incredibly worrying time here. this is the first

time i have woken up and not felt safe in this area. it is sunny and kids play out on this open square every day of the summer. and now it is like their parents are not going to let them out. if stuff like that is happening. that is so tragic, because this isn't... this isn't a violent area, this is a really quiet, peaceful, inner—city suburban feel. afamily area. she really summed up the mood here — a few people have come up to me and asked what has happened, they are so shocked that another young boy has been killed in london. a 17 year old boy has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent after a woman was attacked with an electric drill in straban in northern ireland. the 38—year—old victim suffered a "very serious" head injury and is in a critical but stable condition in hospital. the teenager was also charged

with possession of an offensive weapon in a public place and theft of a drill. he is due to appear in court in 0magh on monday. a 20—year—old man has died after he being stabbed in liverpool city centre this morning. police and paramedics were called to hanover street in the city centre just after 4 o'clock after receiving reports of man with stab wounds. he was taken to hospital, but later died from his injuries. police are appealing for information. three men have been injured in east london by what has been described as a noxious substance. the met police say officers were called to reports of a disturbance on kingsland high street in hackney. three men aged 17, 22 and 27 were taken to hospital. police say no arrests have been made. theresa may has sought to reassure leading tory brexiteers about her plans for customs arrangements, after britain leaves the european union. the prime minister says she's determined to make a success of brexit, by taking the country out of the single market and the customs union. but talking to the bbc‘s andrew marr programme this morning

the business secretary greg clark said that a customs union was still on the table... 0ur political correspondent nick eardley has been explaining what has been said this morning. it is the big unanswered question, the reason we hear so much about this is because how we trade with europe after brexit is an issue that the government itself is not agreed on. senior ministers met this week to discuss it. they did not come up with a conclusion. it essentially comes down to two options which are left on the table. one is a customs partnership, that means a close relationship, meaning we collect tariffs, and depending on where goods end up, in the eu or the uk, we pay money accordingly. the other one is maximum facilitation, as frictionless as possible with technology allowing streamlined procedures.

but technology has not necessarily yet been used to show it works. a question for both of these things that greg clark admitted this morning. firstly the technology is not there yet, it will take a few years before it is. but also talking about that idea of a customs partnership still being on the table. some brexiteers had thought they had effectively killed this off. here's what greg clark said about it still being an option. every business that i talk to wants the certainty that the agreement is the right one. no one wants the certainty which is available at at any time of simply collapsing the negotiations and saying, we're not going to bother, we will accept frictions at the border, for example. no one wants that. it is absolutely right that businesses want to have certainty, but it needs to follow a constructive, professional engagement, informed by businesses for the purpose of the jobs.

but the partnership is still on the table, still a live option. can i ask... let me emphasise the importance forjobs to our country. you need to have in mind future jobs but also the very important jobs of people today. let's talk about how the opposition has reacted. there has been a debate in labour particularly in the parliamentary party about whether to take a harder line with the government over brexit, or effectively whether to facilitate it, because that is what the voters have said they want, and certainlyjeremy corbyn is thought to be more sympathetic to leaving the eu than some of his other parametric colleagues. john mcdonnell was on the andrew marr sofa this morning as well. yes, the conclusion that the labour party has come to to take all those views

into consideration is, it supports staying in a customs union — not the one we which create, which it argues will allow the uk to have some input into the deals that the eu negotiates. they believe that would solve some problems, like how we trade with europe, like avoiding a hard border in northern ireland, and john mcdonnell expressed some optimism this morning that some conservatives back as well. we want to negotiate a customs union. that will solve the northern ireland border problem which irving is intractable, you have demonstrated that. in addition it will get is the tariff free trade we wa nt will get is the tariff free trade we want and protect jobs and the economy. in that way i think we have got a deal to be had. and i think a numberof got a deal to be had. and i think a number of conservative mps will vote

for it. so he thinks some conservative mps will back labour. the problem theresa may has, there are some conservative mps who would be furious if that was what is agreed to. jacob rees mogg on itv this morning saying essentially that. it would mean abiding by many of the rules of the single market, wouldn't really mean leaving the european union. with less than a year to go, this is still to go, this is still a massive dividing line in uk politics. it sounds dry and to some extent it is, but it is the big issue that still needs solve. andrew marr is expected to make a

full recovery and return to the programme soon. 0ur full recovery and return to the programme soon. our best wishes to him fora programme soon. our best wishes to him for a speedy recovery. the conservative chairman brandon lewis says he will have a look at the case of the conservative councillor in pendle who was readmitted to the local party after having been suspended for posting racist material online. the council was asked to stand down after posting a racist image on facebook. photographs of prince louis have been published, photographed when he was just three days old.
