day, with rain pushing north across scotla nd day, with rain pushing north across scotland this evening, with more heavy downpours pushing north and east across england, wales and northern ireland and southernmost of scotla nd northern ireland and southernmost of scotland later in the night. with all that going on, overnight temperatures not going down too far, mainly in the racial for to eight celsius. tomorrow, sunshine and showers some rain in parts of northern england and southern scotla nd northern england and southern scotland to start the day. showers for wales, western england, and they will spread further east across england, particularly in the afternoon. some will be heavy, thundery, possible hail and gusty winds. at their strongest along english channel coasts and channel islands with gusts of a0 to 50 mph. temperatures much closer to the seasonal temperatures much closer to the seasonal average temperatures much closer to the seasonal average and, when the heavy showers move through, if you are outside, it will feel quite cool, low to mid teen temperatures. friday, sunshine and showers, but by saturday, with a gap between weather

systems, most places looking dry and more weather fronts coming our way for the second half of the weekend on sunday. friday, sunshine and showers. for the weekend, on sunday. friday, sunshine and showers. forthe weekend, saturday mainly dry, and on sunday we will see another spell of rain spreading across the country. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me. 0n bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

specific allegations about the conduct of the ballot to end the lower league seasons in scotland. an independent company have been deployed to investigate sunday's the head of the spfl has once again called upon rangers to come forward with any specific allegations about the conduct of the ballot to end the lower league seasons in scotland. chief executive neil doncaster said an independant company had been employed to investigate dundees‘ vote and found no wrongdoing. the rangers chairman douglas park has claimed the club have

whistleblower evidence that raises serious questions over the spfl‘s conduct. auditors deloitte cleared the spfl, but rangers have been granted an independent company have been deployed to investigate sunday's glasgow warriors head coach dave rennie has called for the pro ia season to be stopped and unbeaten leinster awarded the title. that's despite the sports‘ bosses hopes of still completing the competition manchester united have been given permission to have a safe standing section at old trafford on a trial basis. united will put 1500 barrier seats in place for the 2020—21 season and, if the trial proves successful, it's understood the club will look to install safe standing in other areas of the stadium. they have concluded though behaviour. i can understand how it looks those are the conclusions that we re looks those are the conclusions that were reached by that independent body. if anyone has any evidence to support any evidence bullying or coercion as is been claimed, then they should bring it to the attention of the chairman of the board. that's usual practice. it's extremely disappointing that we've had these vague generalised assertions, suggestions that have been some sort of coercion or bullying. people have evidence that that took place by any member of staff. i think have a duty to that to the attention of the chairman of the board. we have to deal with all of me and my team will be working absolutely want to be focused on getting the game back to, getting it back to health. and frankly, all of the infighting is a distraction from that mission. as he primarily

considers its plan for project restart lolita bosses have begun putting two officially returned to training. the aim is to behind closed doors. despite fears of a second spike in the virus in germany clu bs second spike in the virus in germany clubs in the bundesliga have already returned to training with the hope the games will begin on the 9th of may. however if that is to go insane testing is key as a league football generous one castro told me earlier. la liga has both a lot of tests, thousands of tests to give players, you know to test between trainings and before each match. that will be injune and before each match. that will be in june when la and before each match. that will be injune when la liga will be already play. but you know, the tests are very key point font la liga and also for the players. the players has say we've got to train, it's fine or going to play. it's hard but we have

to have tests. to know if we have positive or not in the coronavirus. why, because if we are positive we can not doing i cannot play. we cannot go to train, we cannot transmit this coronavirus to other players and to others, to other people and to our families. that's important to have tests. unlike la liga have bought these tests for the players. if la liga matches were to begin again would be behind closed doors, with the logistics before that or would crowds be coming to watch and again what would be the problems that would surface because of that? if la liga will begin to be played it would be of course, no doubt without people. without crowds. no doubt about that. even if la liga is playing in the next and

will be playing in september or may be in the beginning without audience. so no doubt here in spain that people won't be watching football in the stadium. only through the tv by tv. glasco warriors head coach has gone from the pro ia football season to be stopped and unbeaten for the title. that was despite the forest doing exports bosses hoping to com plete doing exports bosses hoping to complete the competition. manchester united has been given permission to have a safe standing section on a trial basis. united will put 1500 barriers in place for next season and if the trial proves successful it's understood the club will install safe standing and other stadiums. coronavirus has been named as the reason behind afc fyldes women's team folding.

it's thought to be the first women's side in the top a0 clubs across england to disband because of covid—19. fylde were ninth in the northern premier division of the national league — the third tier — when the season was suspended. arsenal's top scorer, vivianne miedema is very concerned about the future of the women's game amid the pandemic. she spoke to me earlier ahead of her involvement in fifa's nhs charities together cup. the dutch international also spoke about a possible return to the game in england, despite the men's league in the netherlands being declared null and void. i think definitely an women's football has been confident the last couple years this is a really hard situation because a lot of club, the usa situation because a lot of club, the us a few thought that losing out on a lot of money. i think if clubs need to cut anything it's can be women's football football. 0bviously for me not the right decision. i think after this match football. i'm sure you're aware that the dutch

men's league had finished. they've called time on it and said the narcotic train completed. is that something that you feel may be the premier league and angling nws l should do? i think right now where obviously, i would say a bit far ahead as we are only the u of k. i think the money that goes around holland has not yet comparable and what we've got in england. as i said before i think that's the safest option for us players and for eve ryo ne option for us players and for everyone around us. i think that's definitely probably an option to just cancel the league and start again next year. if that were to happen then it would be manchester city who would be awarded the title, just one point ahead of chelsea. after arsenal being in front for so many weeks and within touching point of the title again. is something that you would sort of regret if man city were to be the title?

0bviously, how did you holland that basically not rewarding anybody the title. into the champions league no 1's going to relegate and that's the way they done it. i'm not really sure if they are thinking about doing that way. especially on the men's side like liverpool is miles ahead of man city. so if they actually are going to crown a champion. i think would be really ha rd champion. i think would be really hard especially also on chelsea and our league because having a game played last than man said he has. that's is something i think in this situation we all need to accept and move on from. the president of the international olympic committee, thomas bach has admitted the postponement of the 2020 tokyo games means the organisation will have to shoulder "several hundred million dollars" of costs. the olympics and paralympics were due to take place this summer, but will now be held next year because of the coronavirus pandemic. president of world athletics, seb coe says any further delay may see the games called off altogether.

i think it's pretty clear that you couldn't go on forever postponing an 0lympic game. there comes a point where that you do have to start posing questions. i hope we are a little that yet. 0ur ambition is to get the athletes back into competition as soon as soon as we possibly can. but only when it is safe to do so. if it's not safe then you can't put them at risk. you shouldn't have to be putting those communities that you want to be enjoying the support at risk as well. so, at the moment it's really trying to create some structures that with best endeavours we are able to fulfill. but i don't think any of us really know what the next few months is going to look like. the england and wales cricket board are meeting today with the new 100—ball competition, "the hundred", likely to be postponed until next year. with players joining from all over the world — it was due to start at the oval

onjuly the 17th. cricket is suspended until the 1st ofjuly at the earliest. it's probably going to be too much to squeeze in. i think is getting the hundred in will be quite hard work. we want everything to be ready without the problems are the world and stuff. and before we go it's a problem facing many people — how to get a hair cut in lockdown. well the world's number one tennis player novak djokovic made the brave decision to let his partner have a go. here he is with his wifejelena and the dreaded trimmer. and there was certainly lots of hair on the floor afterwards.

but how about that a good job i think and he seems happy. we should have a look in the back maybe there's a square that we can't see. is he going to turn around? 0h, yeah. that might well have been a bit up the back but he couldn't see that she did it. i don't blame him for lent i don't blame appeals have ago. will have later for you throughout the rest of the union plus more and all of those stories on the bbc website. you're watching bbc news. the government's latest coronavirus briefing hasjust ended. let's take a look at some of the key points... the first secretary of state dominic raab confirmed the number of deaths in the uk due to coronavirus has jumped by nearly a000, to 26,097.

for the first time, this figure includes those in care homes and the wider community who died after testing positive for covid—19, in addition to deaths in hospitals. over the past 2a hours, there was an increase of 765 coronavirus deaths in the uk, in all settings. yvonne doyle from public health england said there had been a ‘slightly worrying' increase in road traffic. she said we've seen the highest working—day use of vehicles since the lockdown began on the 23rd of march. and dominic raab confirmed the lockdown will not be eased until ministers know the ‘real risk‘ of a second peak can be avoided — and he said scientific advisers will provide a report in early may mr raab also answered questions on getting tests for care home staff and residents. he acknowledged there had been a ‘distribution issue", we‘ve expanded the eligibility now that includes anybody in a care home with her isn‘t more staff. we have obviously a distribution issue there

is no sugar coating the challenges had with that. we‘ve help deliver at the local resistance form. we are getting the clipper service up and running and the military have also done an exceptionaljob. whether it‘s the supply which we are ramping up it‘s the supply which we are ramping up in the way i described in health secretary has explained or the delivery. we are doing everything that we possibly can. throughout the sum care workers have treat people in their own homes and feel they‘ve been let down even more so. they say and many cases they‘ve worked to breaking point are poorly paid and not acknowledge for what they do. joining me now is doctor jane townsend who is the chief executive officer of the uk home ca re executive officer of the uk home care association which represents 2000 home care companies. doctor townsend, what proportion of home

ca re townsend, what proportion of home care workers actually treat people in their own homes? well, there are about 650,000 home care workers across the uk. and it‘s about the same number as the number who work and care homes. so the workforce is split almost 50—50. and care homes. so the workforce is split almost 50-50. so that something that a lot of people don‘t realize. and how do people who work and go in and visit people in their own homes, helping they feel they‘re being treated in this crisis. own homes, helping they feel they‘re being treated in this crisislj think they feel forgotten. we‘ve been at the end of the queue for pretty much everything. the funding, the ppe, the testing, the guidance, the ppe, the testing, the guidance, the clinical support, the volunteering, the charitable donations you name it. where kind of in after slot, it seems. i don't know if you heard the foreign secretary speaking they are just before you. and he acknowledged that

they had been a distribution issue in terms of protective clothing, is that how it felt to your members? the problem that we experience from the outset was that our home care providers tend to have regular orders. perhaps not protective equipment from their business as usual supplier. and quite early on in march we announced they regular supplies to ppe were being directly directed to nhs supplies. so our normal route of acquiring ppe were being cut off. so we complained about that and were told that we could use the government systems. we could use the government systems. we could use the government systems. we could use nhs supplies but went home ca re could use nhs supplies but went home care providers went to them they said sorry, we are only supplying nhs providers. going talk to the national supply disruption response. so they went there and they said really sorry we can‘t help you because you‘re not nhs, you‘ll have

to go back to your business as usual suppliers. of course they didn‘t have any kit because it had all gone into nhs supply. so they were going round and round what we‘ve come to call... thing that seemed seems to breaking out. dominic rob talked about the platform that‘s probably for weeks away from being up and running. and then initially for an hour seven hotel suppliers were designated for social care. for example, one of our members linked me on tuesday saying they had contacted all seven of them and they had no supplies to give them. so that left our home care providers having to purchase their own ppe on the open market. and due to some local supply challenges it‘s like the wild west. and everybody is trying to get ppe. allegedly there

are sort of spotters at airports looking for consignments that look like they might be ppe and redirecting them. price gouging is going on. hope very very challenging. have things improved at all in this period of time? well, not really. pa rt all in this period of time? well, not really. part of the reason is normally in—home care you don‘t need to wear a face mask. only people who have looking after complex clients. now everybody‘s looking into face mask for every visit. and there basically aren‘t enough facemasks available. so that‘s a real problem for us. and some providers even considering filing notices to the regulator of the ability to continue to do home care because they can‘t do the ppe they need. ok, a very

difficult situation clearly. thank you so much for talking to us on bbc news. spain‘s prime minister has warned that his country faces a recession on an ‘extraordinary scale‘ as the country begins to restart its economy after one of the strictest lockdowns in europe. many fear the downturn could be much worse than the crash of 2008. damian grammaticas reports. in spain, the daily tally of the dead may be falling, but the lines of the hungry are lengthening. queueing for hand—outs to fill empty stomachs. a new wave of suffering brought by the virus is gathering force. norma, a cleaner, has lost all of her work. 300 euros a month is what she‘s left with. the poorest being hit hardest. translation: the people whose house i was working at told me, "don‘t come any more

until this is finished. " now i don‘t know if i can even afford to pay my rent. the little she gets she shares with her brother. his work submitting flyers to homes has dried up and there are four in his household to feed. even in the worst of spain‘s economic crisis, those on the margins could find odd jobs — not now. assistance from others is all that‘s left. translation: every day we pray for help for the nation's volunteers and thanks to god we're getting them. it is a miracle. a miracle is what many of spain‘s businesses need too. the plan is they will start reopening next month but customer numbers must be limited. cafes can only serve outdoors. businesses, shuttered for weeks, may struggle to survive. paco‘s come back to find the bills piling up,

more than he thinks he‘s able to pay. if his restaurant fails, the five staff he‘s kept on will be jobless too. translation: even when we open, i don't believe people will go out like before — they'll be scared. nobody knows what is going to happen. we're all scared. those fears are felt right across spain, even in the smallest places. this bullring should be full now. this was it exactly a year ago. the annual fiesta, people crowded in from far and wide. now, nobody. these events help sustain economies in towns like this, but how to restart them? events will be the last thing to reopen — just a00 spectators allowed, all spaced apart. translation: it‘s a day when, in a small village like this, many thousands come. restaurants, hotels, shops —

everyone will feel the impact. it‘s sad. spain‘s health emergency may be waning but an economic one isjust beginning to bite. damian grammaticas, bbc news. tributes are being paid two brothers, from south wales, who died side—by—side after contracting coronavirus. ghulam and raza abbas passed away within hours of each other at the royal gwent hospital — just weeks after losing their father from ill health. their families have pleaded with people to stay at home and stop the spread of the disease. colette hume reports. united in life, united now in death. brothers raza and ghulam died side by side in intensive care. they were just 53 and 59. at ghulam‘s home in newport, friends and neighbours come to pay their respects to his widow and two daughters. we were all hoping and praying

that he would fall through, and my uncle also. but allah had other plans. it gives us a bit of comfort knowing they were together. i mean, they were in the hospital beds together, next to each other. so it‘s hard, but then at least we kind of comfort herself thinking at least they are together now. a few miles away, the family of ghulam‘s brother raza are grieving too. he was the father of two sons and a grandfather. he and his wife nicola had been together since they were teenagers. he was nothing but a true gentleman with a heart of gold, and he would do anything to help anyone. i love you, raz. we will never forget you. and she has this message for those defying the lockdown. people going to beaches, having door—to—door barbecues, they do not realise how

dangerous this virus is. in a blink of an eye i've lost my husband and my brother—in—law. and i wouldn't wish this tragedy on anyone. please, stay away from each other, stay home and be safe. colette hume reporting now it‘s time for a look at the weather with nick miller hello. after that wet weather that some of us had yesterday that this afternoon sunshine came after a spell of rain much of the uk will see some rain at some stage of that i. heavy showers on the rain tomorrow. all because low—pressure is now in control of the span of wet weather coming in and of course welcome rain for many of us. in the gaps between the weather front sta rts gaps between the weather front starts when you get to see something drier and sonny are out there. overnight we will see another spell of heavy downfall pushing east across england and wales into
