hello everybody. we lost our sunshine today. cloudy looking skies in swanage and they had six millimetres of rain. compare it to the month of may where they had barely any traceable rainfall at all. the rain has been fairly light and patchy as it continues to sink its way steadily south and it will continue to do that overnight tonight. we have seen some rain gci’oss tonight. we have seen some rain across the country, but that is clearing away. it is notjust been the rain, difference with the feel of the weather. yesterday we saw temperatures mid to high 20s. today, many places have seen temperatures are good 10 degrees down. the cloud and rain will continue to sink steadily southwards. keep quite a lot of cloud through the night and temperatures will fall away. tomorrow starts off rather great when you pull back your curtains. hopefully the club will some sunny spells come through and a scattering of isolated sharp showers. possibly

some of them with lightning and temperatures struggling with 11 to 18 degrees at the very best. a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather and we do it all again on friday in terms of showers but they could be more heavy and widespread, merging togetherfor longer spells of rain, particularly gci’oss longer spells of rain, particularly across eastern scotland by the end of the afternoon. dodge the showers, keep some brightness you might get 70 degrees if you are lucky. the winds will strengthen into the north—west where we will see gusts of a0 to 50 miles an hour. the winds will be a feature for the start of the weekend as well. it really does look like we are heading for a cooler weekend with plenty of sharp showers and blustery winds on saturday. just that little

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm sarah mulkerrins. coming up... the bundesliga will take no further action against jadon sancho and other players after anti—racism gestures during matches last weekend. and as west indies get ready to come to england for their test series — three players opt out — over coronavirus fears. the captain of the american team — steve stricker says fans will be cheated if it goes ahead. welcome along to sportsday this evening. as protests continue around the world following the death of george floyd in police custody in the usa, sport too is having it's say.

sport too is having its say. today, the bundesliga in germany said there would be no further action against jadon sancho and other footballers following anti—racism gestures last weekend. sancho, who plays for borrusia dortmund, revealed a t—shirt with the message justice for george floyd — and had received a booking for it at the time. he was one of a number of players to show messages of solidarity. in a statement, the bundesliga confirmed it would take "no proceedings" against the players concerned " and they will maintain this policy for any further displays." meanwhile, lewis hamilton, has spoken out for the second time this week, saying he is "completely overcome with rage" at events in the usa. in a statement he said "this past week has been so dark. i have failed to keep hold of my emotions," "i have felt so much anger, sadness and disbelief. " he goes on to say that we shouldn't be surprised because "those of us who are black, brown or in between, see it every day and should not have to feel as though

we were born guilty or fear for our lives based on the colour of our skin"(ani well, our reporter nesta mcgregor has been across this story and getting the views of some more black british athletes today. he was in studio earlier and we began with whether there is a sense from athletes that this might be a defining moment in how society faces up to racism. the black lives matter movement has been around since 2013 and some will say the issues have been around for much longer. the issues are not new but what is new this time around is the global reaction and the sheer magnitude of... the sporting world has played a major part in that.

lewis hamilton, serena williams, the entire liverpool football team. what seemed before like a conversation happening quietly in the room and other people ignoring it, it's now feels like the entire room is having that conversation. when we look at sport, how does it operate within the sporting landscape? sport, how does it operate within the sporting landscape ?|j sport, how does it operate within the sporting landscape? i think a lot of the athletes and sport stars we have been speaking to have made exactly that point that, for instance, the amount of black football managers in the uk has been an issue for years. as you go inside the boardroom, the lack of black faces. the point that some are making as how can the people empower change things if, for instance, they don't understand the plight of those making the claims. i thought it was a lot of the athletes that i black a lot of people at the top of the organisations are not and now people are thinking, this is strange and is

something we need to talk about as well. obviously, i can only really talk about this, but i know a lot of sports other people have spoken about it in other sports as well. how does real change come about?|j hate how does real change come about?” hate to be cliche and say only time will tell, but we have seen things before you where this is a hot topic for a minute before you where this is a hot topic fora minute and before you where this is a hot topic for a minute and then it is forgotten about. there is a chance 110w forgotten about. there is a chance now to see, in six months, has anything changed ? now to see, in six months, has anything changed? are people still sharing the hashtags, are was still having these conversations? i also spoke to a team gb sprinter who said it isa spoke to a team gb sprinter who said it is a generational thing and doesn't want to be having the same conversation that his parents had with his children. everybody wants to have optimism for things to change. particularly for me with, you know, we are expecting our first child, i don't want to have to have

the same conversations with my son that my mother had with me 40 years ago, because that is not where we should be at and that is not progress. yes, i should be at and that is not progress. yes, lam should be at and that is not progress. yes, i am optimistic and i optimistic that changes can be made. there is so much that needs to be done and so many bodies and groups that have power that don't use it. it is going to be a long road.” think his words really resonate. it isa think his words really resonate. it is a long braid but we have seen ids and nike come together —— long roads. —— adidas. who knows? that could be a change. now, we're expecting a decision this month on whether the ryder cup will go ahead in september in wisconsin. but the captain of the american team, steve stricker, has been having his say.

he thinks fans will be cheated if it goes ahead without them and said it would be a ‘yawner‘ with no one there. let's get the latest then from our golf correspondent iain carter. this is certainly bumping up the pressure on the pga of america and the european tour because we have heard big names in the past, the likes of rory mcilroy, and the top three players in the world, all saying they wouldn't want to play in a ryder cup that did not have spectators. now we have the american captain weighing into the argument and he did not mince his words. he was speaking on an american radio station and said that the fans are who make a ryder cup. he said that to cheat the wisconsin fans out of actually being able to go there would be a crime. very strong words indeed. he is from wisconsin. the match is due to be played in september. officials are going to decide this month what they are

going to do. there i financial imperatives at play, and logistical problems as well. if it is delayed a year and runs into 2021 when already on the schedule you have the female equivalent of the ryder cup and the presidents cup when the americans ta ke presidents cup when the americans take on the rest of the world outside europe. all sorts of problems have to be resolved here, but it certainly feels as though he isjumping on but it certainly feels as though he is jumping on the but it certainly feels as though he isjumping on the bandwagon, which isjumping on the bandwagon, which is suggesting that, really, you cannot play the ryder cup this year if there are not going to be fans present. let's take a quick look at some other stories making the news. tottenham say they've have had one positive coronavirus result in the latest round of testing by the premier league. that person will now self—isolate for seven days. this was the only positive result after nearly 1,200 players and staff who were checked in the latest round of testing. manchester city have reminded their midfielder phil foden of his responsibilities after he appeared to break social distancing guidelines by playing

football on the beach. he was pictured having a kickabout and having his photo taken with fans at the weekend. even though premier league players are back in contact training with their clubs, they've been told to stick to government rules at all other times. newcastle united have been criticised by a supporters‘ group for not communicating season ticket plans. the newcastle united supporters' trust has also accused the club of a dereliction of duty for not annnouncing plans for refunds, with games that are set to be played behind closed doors. now, three west indies players have chosen not to travel to england for next month's test series because of coronavirus fears. batsmen darren bravo and shimron hetmyer and all—rounder keemo paul opted out of the touring party for the three test series. 0ur correspondent joe wilson has more. i'm sure west indies could have done with the experience of the players

on the torah, and they could have used the all—round potential. —— on the tour. i wonder if we should be surprised that just three the tour. i wonder if we should be surprised thatjust three players have decided not to come. in
