for burnley fans, have a100% record at home in european qualification. the prestige of any tournament is, when you play against the big names, and they have a history here and an knowledge of different variances in european football, that is in their favour slightly. but we have a freshness, and unionists about it, it isa freshness, and unionists about it, it is a new look for us to come and ta ke it is a new look for us to come and take these challenges on. leeds boxer, natasha gale says exhaustion was behind the "unacceptable conduct" that saw her suspended from boxing after the commomwealth games. she says the ban gave her the break from the sport she needed and she's now aiming for the world championships later this year, followed by the tokyo olympics in 2020. she's been speaking exclusively to our sports reporter, tanya arnold. having time off, i had quite a bit of time off and reflecting on it. you know, it was good for me to have the time. maybe my actions weren't
6:51 pm
the time. maybe my actions weren't the best at the time just because of the best at the time just because of the space i was in with my own head. inafunny the space i was in with my own head. in a funny sort of way, however tough it has been, it might have been a good thing they did that for you? i think so. been a good thing they did that for you? ithink so. ithinkl needed the break, i was exhausted mentally and physically. also, it gave me time to reassess my goals and what i wa nt to time to reassess my goals and what i want to achieve. but i guess when i look on it and i reflect, i have experienced that now so moving forward for the worlds, which i have never been to and for 2020, i have experienced what it's like to be on the big stage. i think i will be a better package and more prepared for the future. natasha gale, back in the future. natasha gale, back in the ring. 31 years after his first, markjohnston has now saddled more british winners than any other trainer, he's up to a record 4,194, and he's done it at york's ebor festival,
6:52 pm
with an outsider, poet's society, ridden by frankie dettori, who won a handicap chase to give the 58—year—old scot the record by himself, he had been tied with richard hannon sr who retired five years ago. his first win came in 1987 and times have certainly changed in the sport since then. my most abiding memory is coming home and watching teletext, just putting the results on teletext and having nothing else on the television all night. there was obviously no racing channels in those days. i had huge ambitions to train lots and lots of good winners. but i don't know if i was thinking about 4194. 4194, that is a lot of winners. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. more from the sports team later. now

back to our main story this hour and german business leaders have urged the two sides in the brexit negotiations to strike a deal and avoid what is known as a whole brexit. the german chamber of commerce has warned time is running out and the incentive is is costing german companies time and money. jenny hill reports from mosul, famous for its wine. in a region where it pays to be patient,
6:54 pm
they are getting tired of waiting. the wine has to be 100%... this man sends his german wine all over the world. but, just as he cracked the british export market, the bitter taste of brexit. i asked last time i import, "what impact do you think this thing will have?" "will we have to do anything?" and she said, "how should i know?" we have no clue. we don't know and... i think that is the biggest problem, that everybody is waiting for answers. what german traders fear most, unpacking a no—deal brexit. at this family firm, they import medicine, much of it from britain. they also spend time, money, preparing for the worst. if it would come to a no—deal brexit then we would lose the ability to source from great britain and therefore, we have to try to establish new supply lines in other countries. so you might actually end up taking business away from britain? oh, yes, that is not our decision. this country has built its economic success on a reputation for stability. no wonder then that germany's family firms are so unsettled by, not so much britain's decision to leave the eu, but by the uncertainty that decision has brought already to this, europe's biggest economy. the german business world worries, jobs, companies depend on britain.
6:55 pm
even so, few here would change the country's political stance. we here in berlin, we have never understood either in our talks in berlin or in brussels or in london what could be a softer stance of chancellor merkel, what could be a softer stance of germany. because the integrity of the single market is our major goal and we have two and we do want and we will preserve that adds no doubt about it. toasting them an uncertain future whose complexity, germany fears, may not be to the taste of even those who chose it.
6:56 pm
i wonder if we can toast the weather. we have seen cooler and fresher air pushing down the country. temperatures are set to fall lower again over the next 24 hours. in the cooler, fresher air you can see the speckled shower clouds and behind that band of cloud, which goes from heavy bursts of rain and as it moved southwards it is lighter and there shouldn't be much rain in the south—east and east anglia. the showers keep going in the north westerly airflow towards the north—west of the uk, but clearer skies elsewhere. a significant change in the south—east of england where it was 19 degrees in london last night. tonight, 12. single figure temperatures as you move further north. many southern and eastern areas start dry and sunny
6:57 pm
but many showers to come. a lot of them towards the north—west, western scotland, northern ireland and north—west england. they will be pushed further south and eastwards. there will be heavy showers, hail and thunder driven on by some blustery winds. very few places escaping the showers and if anything, temperatures a bit lower on friday. 15 degrees in newcastle for example, although not too many showers around here. friday night could be particularly chilly, especially in the scottish glens where this ridge of high pressure is coming in and it will tend to push away most of the showers into the north sea. that is where the stronger winds will be as well. a drier day, more sunshine on the way. a few showers here and there but a good chance of staying dry. showers lighter as the day goes on but disappointing temperatures for the time of year. then things change on sunday and change more quickly now
6:58 pm
because the ridge of high pressure doesn't last. weather systems coming in from the atlantic and they are moving in more quickly now. sunday looks like being cloudy with outbreaks of rain already in western areas by morning, heavy rain over the hills in the west and the rain will push eastwards and those temperatures really will struggle underneath the cloud and rain. 15 to 18 degrees. monday, bank holiday for many, it does looked dry and warm. you're watching beyond 100 days. british businesses should plan for customs checks and british drug makers should stock up on extra supplies. the government outlines contingency plans in the event the uk pulls out of the european union with no deal. the government still says this isn't likely but businesses and individuals should make preparations just in case. as his legal problems multiply, donald trump has an unusual reason for why he can't be impeached. i don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a greatjob?
6:59 pm
i'll tell you what, if i ever got impeached, i think the market would crash. attorney generaljeff sessions hits back at the president, promising the department ofjustice would not bow to politics. also on the programme...
