backis back is the reason we it is a dream. back is the reason we do exactly what we do. that is why we do this every day and push our bodies to the limits. why we pick each other up, push each other and train each other. world championship medals always mean a lot and to this family, they will be extra special. finally in sportsday, what are you doing this saturday? non—league slough town need a goalkeeperfor their fa cup tie at home to scholing. an injury crisis has left joint—manager neil baker taking to twitter to ask his followers for any recommendations. it got some serious and some not—so—serious responses, this gentleman saying he'd be all right to play as long as no one had any shots, and glyn here advertising his credentials as a headers and volleys champion.

let's speak to neil now. good evening, the suspense is killing me, did you find somebody on twitter? we have had obviously a high number of responses and i believe we have a couple of potential options. itjust shows the power of social media really. i was talking withjohn, power of social media really. i was talking with john, my joint power of social media really. i was talking withjohn, myjoint manager. we do it together and we were going through plenty of other options of goalkeepers and we spoke to a few in the last few days and we weren't really getting anywhere. with the fa cup, you have to make sure they are not cup tied and whatever else. we thought, why not, give it a go and hopefully it can reach out and maybe

find one or two people. we should hopefully have somebody coming in for saturday. that is fantastic, thatis for saturday. that is fantastic, that is for the squad as back—up, but they could be a hero, from one of your twitter followers to making their debut in the fa cup? you never know, jack turner is a brilliant keeper, he is a contracted keeper. u nfortu nately keeper, he is a contracted keeper. unfortunately he picked up a slight injury on saturday in the last minute of the game. his elbow is swollen and bruised and being the fa cup, we are allowed seven substitutes. we would be crazy not to have a back—up keeperjust in case jack had a problem. he could get into the game and have a problem and have to come off after five or ten minutes. we have to make sure we have somebody who is capable and we thought, why not? let's put it on the twitter universe and see what comes up. the twitter universe and see what comes up. it is modern—day football i guess and modern—day management.

neil baker, thank you very much. well done for embracing social media. we will be keeping an eye on your match in the second qualifying round. that's all from sportsday. keep an eye on the champions league results coming in. as we've been hearing — the prime minister theresa may has arrived in salzburg for dinner with eu leaders , she spoke to reporters on the way in , let's hear what she had to say. i will be talking with fellow leaders about the proposal we have put on the taser for our future relationship. it maintains frictionless trade and it is the only credible and the negotiable plan on the table that delivers no ha rd plan on the table that delivers no hard border in northern ireland and delivers on the vote of the british people. if we are going to achieve a

successful conclusion, just as the uk has evolved its position, the eu will need to evolve its position as well. i am confident with good will and determination we can agree a deal that is right for both parties. we will be talking about migration and this is a challenge for us all and this is a challenge for us all and the uk will remain clearly, wanting to work with others to do with the issue of illegal migration and the discussion tomorrow on internal security, i will be able to update my fellow leaders on the investigation into the brazen and reckless use of chemical weapons in salisbury. on brexit, are you encouraged by michel barnier‘s suggestion yesterday that perhaps it doesn't need to be a border on the island of ireland, it can be east, west movement with increased checks, is that a positive compromise for you? i welcome the fact michel barnier is recognising the need to find a new solution because the

original proposal put forward by the eu was an acceptable. we have always recognised that are unique circumstances that apply in northern ireland, for example in relation to checks for some agricultural products. but we cannot see northern ireland carved away from the england customs territory. regardless of where the checks would be, it would mean it would be a challenge to our constitutional and economic integrity. why shouldn't it be a second referendum, why should it be your way, the hard way to the cliff edge? there are prominent members, like the mayor of london who are trying to take us back to the square one. postponing the exit day. i want to be clear, this government will never accept a second referendum. the british people voted to leave the european union and we will be leaving on the 29th of march 2000 and i9. i call on the labour

leadership to rule out a second referendum and stop trying, stop trying to frustrate the brexit process. why shouldn't the british people be given the chance to have another look, now they have had two yea rs another look, now they have had two years two digests, what you must admit, has been a difficult process, why shouldn't there be a vote by the people to check this is what people definitely want to do? we help the referendum in 2016 and people voted to leave the european union. it is 110w to leave the european union. it is now believe a matter of trust in politicians we should deliver on the vote of the british people. thank you, prime minister. theresa may speaking in the last half an hour. we will have the latest at seven p: m.. two people have died as storm ali brings wind gusts of almost 100 miles per hour across parts of the uk. thousands of homes were left

without electricity and a major incident was declared in the scottish borders as the storm swept through the northern half of britain and ireland. it toppled trees and brought down power lines, and sent debris hurtling through the air. well, we can speak now to our correspondent, katie hunter, who's in dumfries, which had taken a battering earlier today. it doesn't look too bad now, but what has it been like? this is very much the calm after the storm here in dumfries this evening. but a major incident was declared a cross dumfries and galloway this afternoon, in response to the strong winds. a small number of people have been hurt, hit by falling trees and debris. although we understand no one has been seriously injured. the council took the decision it was u nsafe for council took the decision it was unsafe for peoples to walk home so they were in school later than normal until they could be picked. they're busy day for the emergency

services, four times as many calls as normal. the major incident that was declared earlier is now over. we understand there are thousands of homes without power, properties about power across the south of scotland. engineers are working to fix that and a number of minor roads are still close. but it is much better than it was in dumfries. katie hunter in dumfries, thank you. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen willets. good evening. storm ali has been battering the north of england. we have quite intense rain across england and wales as we move in tomorrow and potentially a deep area of low pressure with wendy whether into southern and eastern areas. the stronger skuse will be confined to the north and north east and actually it will be a cooler night

as the rain finally starts to fade away. just showers remaining across north and west. whilst in the south, it still stays warm and humid. still quite windy with quite a bit of rain around as we head towards the morning rush—hour. a blustery day with showers across the northern half of the uk and thursday but with the most of england and wales, except the south east, there will be a spell of wet weather. the amount of rain that will be in north wales and north of england and then the strength of the winds through the night is quite concerning. goodbye. you're watching beyond 100 days. a crucial 48 hours in austria. eu and uk leaders are meeting in salzburg to try to hash out a brexit deal right now. as he headed into the talks, the austrian chancellor warned that everything should be done to avoid a hard brexit. will christine ford testify before the senate over allegations that brett kavanaugh sexually assaulted her? will republicans vote to confirm him anyway? we just don't know,

but mr trump is sticking by his supreme court nominee. as you know brett kavanaugh has been treated very, very tough and his family... ithink treated very, very tough and his family... i think it's a very tough thing which is going on. also on the programme...
