is the area of low hours the issue is the area of low pressure moving in bringing some wet and at times windy weather on the southern flank across the northern half of the country. the best of the weather for tuesday across central and southern areas but drab and just gci’oss and southern areas but drab and just across the south—west and wales. heavy rain expected across south—west scotland and northern ireland later in the afternoon accompanied by gusts of wind in excess accompanied by gusts of wind in excess of a0 miles an hour. so not very pleasant day and temperatures subdued at ia, 17 degrees in the rain. they could peak at 23 celsius some sunshine comes out. when still a bit ofa some sunshine comes out. when still a bit of a mess, this trailing by the front continuing to produce some showery outbreaks of rain. it is allowing this southerly wind to dragon and the feel of the weather is going to change. behind that the westerly wind direction so the

weather front weakens producing some cloud and outbreaks of rain, 16, 20 2 degrees but i have that with that southerly wind and sunshine temperature is 25, 20 6 degrees. the real difference with the heat later this week in comparison to last week is it is going to be a bit more isolated across central and southern england with temperatures potentially peeking into the mid 30s again. if that is too hot and you still want some sunshine and warmth heads north into scotland. that's all from the bbc news at six — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are.

hello, good evening, girl watching bbc news with me, ben brown. —— your

watching. let's return to the news that the firm which bought the thomas cook travel shops has said up to 878 employees may lose theirjobs, because of new coronavirus travel restrictions. hays travel took on more than 2,000 former thomas cook employees when it went bust in october last year. we can speak to irene and john hays, the company owners, now. thank you so much for being with us. i know it is a very difficult day for you both. ispoke i know it is a very difficult day for you both. i spoke to you both a few days ago, and irene, you were saying how anxious you were to avoid any redundancies. but why have you had to make this decision? the position has changed so, so dramatically in a relatively short space of time. so obviously, when we heard the news about spain, we knew there would be a reaction to that on there would be a reaction to that on the basis that first of all, it was quarantined, then the foreign commonwealth advice that it wasn't

just to be the entirety of mainland spain, but the ballet rx and the canaries. that has had a major, major impact on customer confidence —— the lyrics. prior to ten days ago, we had a steady increase in sales for new bookings. and after the announcement about spain, following that about the spanish islands, those bookings are virtually dried up. john, is there any chance that the government will change that travel guidance? well, we hope so. we totally understand in the northeast of spain around barcelona and catalonia, all the way up barcelona and catalonia, all the way up to the board with france. there isa up to the board with france. there is a problem with spain —— border with france. and to stop people travelling there is definitely the right thing to do on health, no

gifts or buts. but on other parts of spain, the costa del sol, mallorca, ibiza, the incidence of the virus are fewer than the uk. the german government's reaction has been to quarantine people going to the northeast of spain, but allowing people to go to one of the other places i've just said. that's a much more targeted, sophisticated approach. irene, in terms of your approach,... approach. irene, in terms of your approach, . .. incredibly important. it was particularly at this time of year, it is still the number one holiday destination for families in july holiday destination for families in july and august, and the school holidays. and obviously the canaries are huge hugely important as we go

into the autumn and winter months where they have continued sunshine throughout the year. so it's impossible to overstate the importance of spain and the islands to our business. john, we know this has been a nightmare year for the travel industry in general. do you think it will be able to bounce back? we have 82 year plan, and we are looking a two—year period —— two year plan. obviously things are bad from 2020, but if you look at 2021 bookings, they are actually up on the same time last year. now we know a lot of those bookings were people who couldn't get away this year and booked for next year. but if we look ata booked for next year. but if we look at a two—year period, we are optimistic. good luck to you both and to the company. john and irene hayes there, who will possibly have to lose as many as 878 jobs. thank

you for your time this evening. your watching bbc news, now it's time for sportsday. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. fifa say they're 100% confident president gianni infantino won't face criminal charges over allegations of corruption. the pressure's off for the rocket, ronnie 0'sullivan — he storms to a record breaking first round win at snooker‘s world championship. and the transfer window like we've never seen it. we ask whether clubs will reign in their summer spending, in light of coronavirus.

hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. "there is no factual basis whatsoever for this criminal investigation" — the words from football's world governing today over attempts to prosecute fifa president gianni infantino. criminal proceedings were launched last week by authorities, after allegations the fifa boss broke rules in meetings with switzerland's top lawyer. both men say they've done nothing wrong. we can get some more on this now, with our football reporter simon stone, who's been speaking to fifa today. they're adamant there's been no criminal conduct here. what do these allegations relate to? well gavin, this was outlined by the fifa deputy general secretary alastair bell, talking to the bbc this afternoon. and basically he said it relates to a meeting that took place between the fifa president, gianni infantino, and the swiss attorney general. and

basically it was set up for gianni infantino to ensure the swiss
