well, but a period of intensive care will follow. the focus will be on when he starts to regain consciousness, he will —— his neurological state will be consciousness, he will —— his neurological state will he were —— assessed repeatedly, and he will be transitioned only to an area of care which requires less support when he is starting to regain his independence and he is stable. trafford supporters spoke of their admiration for alex. he's a legend, and he has been for the whole club. even though he isn't running the clu b even though he isn't running the club now, i think a lot of people feel the. i am club now, i think a lot of people feelthe. i am a lead club now, i think a lot of people feel the. i am a lead supporter, club now, i think a lot of people feelthe. i am a lead supporter, but i have nothing but respect for sir alex and what he has done for football. this is where sir alex ferguson is revered the most, a stand is named after him, and there isa stand is named after him, and there is a statue in his honour. his status is legendary. he led manchester united to an incredible 38 trophies in 26 years, and all time great at the game at home and

abroad, renowned for his tenacity and fighting spirit. but now, sir alex ferguson faces perhaps his biggest challenge of all. we will find out how these stories are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 1030-iiz30 pm. covered in tomorrow's front pages at 1030-11130 pm. our covered in tomorrow's front pages at 1030—ii:30 pm. our guestare covered in tomorrow's front pages at 1030—ii:30 pm. our guest are tony grew and the journalist caroline frost. greg clark has confirmed that a so—called customs partnership with brussels after brexit is still on the table. it could mean britain collecting tariffs on behalf of the eu on all goods arriving in the uk that are destined for europe. he says any new deal must minimise friction, allow free trade agreements with other countries, and avoid a hard border with ireland. the proposal is fiercely opposed by leading brexiteers who says it effectively means the uk will remain in the eu. alex forsyth reports. when the big beast of government

gathered last week, they could not agree on a post brexit trade plans. several opposed the prime minister's preferred option, leaving some brexiteers to think they had killed off. not so, said the business secretary today. he came out arguing for a close customs deal with the eu, saying thousands ofjobs depended on it. if you compare... you need to keep in mind the future jobs, but also the very important jobs. and perhaps stoking tensions with brexit backing tories further, he said arrangements could take longer than planned. whichever option is chosen, it will take some time to have them put in place and available. so what are the choices? 0ne available. so what are the choices? one option, a customs partnership, would mean on the of brussels, the uk collects tariffs on goods coming into britain that are destined for the eu. the second, a highly streamlined arrangement with. ..

the eu. the second, a highly streamlined arrangement with... with technology and other schemes. that's what brexiteers favour, cleaning those who think it will not work are just scaremongering. this project has been so thoroughly discredited that you would have thought it came to an end by now. we trade successfully all over the world, the delays on goods coming into southampton are tiny, and we will have control of goods coming into this country. that prompted tough talk from fellow tories. i'm sorry, i don't think these ideologues represent the best interests of british business, and therefore our economy and the people of our country. teresa needs to assert them and see them off. the problem for the prime industries whichever way she turns, she is likely to upset somebody. number ten has officials working on the options, but this complex customs conundrum will not be easily solved with such deep divisions in her party. meanwhile, labour is convinced they can pile on the pressure by winning support for its customers plan. quite a lot of

conservatives will follow this. we remain within a customs union during transition period, we want to negotiate a customs union, that will solve the northern ireland border problem, which i think is intractable, and you had to subject —— prove that. intractable, and you had to subject -- prove that. overcoming barriers here is one thing, the premise or must then convince brussels of her plan. and with a crucial meeting of eu leaders injune, the clock is ticking. the fugitive james acourt could be back in the uk after he declined to fight his extradition from spain. initial crime agency confirmed that james acourt, who is wa nted confirmed that james acourt, who is wanted on suspicion of drugs offences, had not launched a legal challenge against the move. he was one of the official suspects in the murder of stephen lawrence. he has a lwa ys murder of stephen lawrence. he has always denied any involvement. tom burrage sent this update from barcelona. this is a long police investigation, intelligence led between officers here in spain and britain. and eventually he was

arrested at a gym in barcelona on friday. we understand that when he gets back to britain, he will not necessarily be arrested, it is unnecessary because it isn't extradition, but he will be questioned by officers from the metropolitan police, because he is one in on suspension of being involved in supplying around £4 million mac worth. james acourt was one of the original murder suspects of... but he has never been charged with murder the black teenager. he is always denied any involvement in the killing. the headlines on bbc news. 17—year—old boy is shot in south london. police appealfor information from the local community. tributes and messages of support for sir alex ferguson, who remains in intensive care after surgery for a brain haemorrhage. a new customs partnership with the european union is still on the table, according to the business secretary greg clark. afghan

promotion urged his side forward, the cardiff city stadium held its collective breath asjunior hoilett went close, but promotion was still in their hands, the celebrations continued, fulham now 2—1 down, a question of watching and waiting. a goal would have eased those butterflies. maybe they should have done better than this. the promotion party was only just getting going. relief for neil warnock. he says taking cardiff back to the premier league is his greatest achievement. well, that point for cardiff means fulham settle for a play off spot — they'll face derby county in the semi finals, while aston villa take on middlesbrough... the first legs are on the 11th and 12th of may... well, at the bottom of the table, bolton scored goals in the last three minutes to come from behind to beat nottingham forest — theyjump out of the relegation zone on the final day — but defeats for both burton and barnsley mean they go down to league one. manchester city have been crowned

premier league champions, with the trophy presented at the etihad this afternoon. but their truimphant season finished on a rather dud note on the pitch, as they were held to a goalless draw with huddersfield. adam wild reports. manchester city, premier league champions. rarely has a title been so richly deserved, rarely has it been so comprehensively won. such has been their dominance this season that this occasion was never going to be more than a celebration, a coronation, for one of the finest sides the premier league has seen. their final home game of the dazzling season began with a guard of honour. few would deny them their day in the sun. manchester city's brilliance has ensured that there would be, for them, no late—season drama. a brilliance only seen in flashes against huddersfield. the hard work done long before today. for the visitors, the battle continues. each point is now priceless in their fight to stay amongst

such esteemed company. so any drama was all there is, a well earned draw giving them their own good reason to celebrate. playing their part in pep guardiola's party, a celebration of that has been a long time coming. adam wild, bbc news. you never know what is going to happen, you don't know. just to prepare the team well, and the title is a consequence. but i was not sure, this season, the previous season and all my career in barcelona and munich, so i have respect, so now i am happy because we did it. the race for a place in next season's champions league has continued this afternoon. chelsea are still able to catch both spurs and jurgen klopp's liverpool, who antonio conte got the better of at stamford bridge, with a 1—0 win. it was watched by drew savage. antonio conte has been suffering

from difficult second season syndrome at chelsea, an affliction few managers seem to survive. it doesn't help when players get in each other‘s way at a crucial moment. bakayoko and giroud summing up their start of the match. liverpool looked the team more likely, and sadio mane, the man more likely, to score. the mood of a match can swing rapidly, a turn by victor moses, classic centre forward play by 0livier giroud. it was advantage chelsea. they were the better side from then on, but another goal was slow to arrive, despite the best and most spectacular efforts of marcos alonso. from then on, defending was the name of the game for chelsea, all about denying liverpool the equaliser that would have confirmed their champions league place. the last chance fell to teenage striker solanke, but conte's team had done enough. they still have something to play for. we must be pleased because i think

we played a very difficult game. great commitment of the players to follow our plan. then we have to operate. 0ne team could slip and we must be ready to get three points. it won't be easy, but we must do this. i hate the result but i am prydie much fine with the performance. i know! prydie much fine with the performance. i know i am the one who knows really exactly what the boys have invested so far, so i cannot be angry and not even disappointed. it was like we tried everything today and now we will fight again. we have one week to prepare the next game, which is very important at the moment to be honest. i am really happy about that, and then we play our final. there was an emotional day and a piece of history for those who went to the emirates stadium
