well, it's an exciting time if you are one of those lucky few who will be in the stands this evening at kings home. the original plan was to have 4000 people in here, but due to the recent changes in the government regulations, that was reduced to 1000. the club held a ballot on friday to see who would be the first fa ns friday to see who would be the first fans in six months to cheer on the cherry and right here in kings home. 0ne cherry and right here in kings home. one man who was very glad that they are is the chief executive lance bradley. lance, what does it mean to you to have fans back in here? it's fantastic. the gloucester fans we think are the best in the country, so think are the best in the country, so having them back into cheer the tea m so having them back into cheer the team on is exactly what we all want. to give me an idea of some of the measures you've taken tonight to keep people safe. we have been preparing for a long time to let fa ns preparing for a long time to let fans back in, so we have hand sanitisers everywhere, everyone's out their own time they need to arrive in, nobody is in groups of more than two. everybody is socially distance at least two metres apart. we have stewards everywhere to make
6:47 pm
sure that everybody‘s kept at a safe distance and all of the drinks and food are being served in seats so nobody has to get up to do that. so we have got a very comprehensive plan. from a financial perspective what is the impact from having to reduce it from 4000 to 1000? it's not really about the financial impact, what we are trying to do is to show that it's safe to have fans back in, and if we can do that this evening, that hopefully we will be allowed fa ns evening, that hopefully we will be allowed fans back in for our final home game of the season in september and the more people we can get back and the more people we can get back and then, the better. and if all those go well tonight and it goes to plan, what is your hope in the terms of what sort of numbers you might be able to get in for that kind of match? we've got plans where we could get 5000 people in socially distanced under the current regulations, if those regulations we re regulations, if those regulations were relaxed at all, than it could be more than that. so we are keeping oui’ be more than that. so we are keeping our fingers crossed for as many as possible. let's hope it goes to plan tonight. inc. you for your time. as

far as the match goes, gloucester could lead part of the kids into six place if they win tonight. most items will be on the match up where danny cipriani still has a good box of tricks at the age of 30 true and he's up against a young contender, marcus smith, kick—off is at 745. it's a rest day at the tour de france. slovenia's primoz roglic is still the man to beat, as the race enters its final week, after defending champion, egan bernal, cracked in thejura mountains yesterday. adam yates is up to fifth overall, the british rider is just over two minutes behind roglic. but yates has told sportsday that his main aim hasn't changed from what it was when the race first began. i still want to try and win a stage. it wasn't to be, but there are plenty of stages coming up, and there's going to be a stage when it goes ballistic and hopefully we can be in goes ballistic and hopefully we can beina goes ballistic and hopefully we can be in a position to take advantage of that. but you are still —— you've still got to have the legs. we will
6:49 pm
see, i guess. we've got a couple tricky stages, especially the mobile stages are tricky stages, especially the mobile stages a re really tricky stages, especially the mobile stages are really hard to climb, especially the final 6—7 ks, whatever it is. even after that, they've got over 4000 metres climbing, stage 18, even more. you have to back—up your performances and, again, like i keep saying to my son like a broken record, but i did good today, so hopefully that train continues. a great day for the yates family actually — adam's twin, simon, has won the eight—day tirreno—adriatico race in italy, finishing just 17 seconds ahead of geraint thomas. the final stage was a six mile time trial — thomas was fourth fastest, to move up from third place overall to second. yates was 22 seconds slower, but that was enough to win the leader's blue jersey. both riders are using this race to prepare for next month's giro d'italia, which will feature three time trials. it's been a great day in italy for british cycling. lizzy banks has won stage
6:50 pm
four of the giro rosa. while dutch rider annemiek van vleuten finished third, to keep the leader's pinkjersey the nine—day—long event is the biggest race in the women's cycling calendar. banks had been in a two—rider breakaway for more than half the stage, before succesfully attacking on the final climb into tivoli. it's her second stage win in two years at the giro. at one —— i won stage eight of last year, it was amazing, it was my first professional win, and it was really quite a different feeling because i'd never won a big bike race before, and i've not had another since then, so this when i had already tasted victory and i really knew that ijust had to win, i couldn't let the team down and come second, so i really gave everything on the final bits. yeah, it's a different feeling, but it's also just the same and i'm really delighted. and you can follow the progress of lizzy banks and the gb team at the world road cycling championships on the bbc.
6:51 pm
it starts on thursday, 24 september. there's full coverage on bbc sport. we've been hearing from england cricketerjofra archer, who's reacted strongly to criticism from former west indies bowler michael holding that england have forgotten about the black lives matter movement. holding spoke out last week after england players stopped taking the knee before matches. archer says the comments were "a bit harsh". he's also been talking about the abuse he has received on social media, saying more needs to be done to stamp it out. i'm not sure they know anything going on behind the scenes, so i think that would be, you know, a bit harsh for them to say that. i've spoken to tom and we've got staff members, we have not forgotten, nobody here has forgotten about black lives matter. i think it's a bit harsh for them to not do some research. as long as there is social media, as long as people are able to
6:52 pm
confront you commit will still go on, but all we can do is to, you know, try to reported and do its best because at the end of the day, i think best because at the end of the day, ithink i'm best because at the end of the day, i think i'm strong enough to deal with it, but what happens when they start affecting them, and we've got to try to stamp it out as much is possible right now. let's be honest, it's not been the easiest time for most of us, especially for those who love to stay active. but a new advertising campaign from sport england is highlighting but a new advertising campaign from sport england is highlighting the ways women in particular have been keeping fit during lockdown through real life stories. we're all familiar now with this girl can — this is their new advert. take a look. music.
6:53 pm
go! music. aneesa features in that advert, you may have spotted her, she joins us 110w may have spotted her, she joins us now on sports day. good evening. hi, good evening. now, it's a brilliant advert. you are one of the real women that features in this. you actually lost her job right women that features in this. you actually lost herjob right at women that features in this. you actually lost her job right at the beginning of lockdown and exercise and working out, that's really helped you, tell me how. yeah, because i lost pretty much my whole salary like on day one, i was a bit upset about it, so it took a while to get over it and to want to do exercise, and there were a lot of community—based rings going on on zoom, so i got myself involved in that, and i think that really massively got me through the lockdown period and then got me engaging with my kids markham it was
6:54 pm
just brilliant. i really enjoyed it. i think just brilliant. i really enjoyed it. ithinka just brilliant. i really enjoyed it. i think a lot of people will be able to relate to your story, of course, i mention the fact that it's real women in this campaign i'm seeing women in this campaign i'm seeing women breast—feeding, young mums, what is the key message in here, obviously it's about real women and what they are capable of doing. obviously it's about real women and what they are capable of doinglj think what they are capable of doing.” think it isjust what they are capable of doing.” think it is just showing that we all can do everything. i think with women, sometimes we think that we can't do things or there are so many things getting in the way, like i multitask a different things, i'm working, i have kids, i'mjust multitask a different things, i'm working, i have kids, i'm just doing so much and finding time to fit the exercise and and sometimes when we gaina bit exercise and and sometimes when we gain a bit of weight, we get even more deflated. so it's really hard to pick yourself back up and pull yourself up. again, girls like us who are quite curvy, we are not the norm from unnecessarily. so it's like we have to keep encouraging each other and motivate each other. especially if you are a mama or you area especially if you are a mama or you are a busy female. it's just really hard. ithink
6:55 pm
are a busy female. it's just really hard. i think the worklife balance and everything, it's difficult to get the right sort of balance of everything, basically. yeah, i love the campaign. i think it's awesome what it does and how it represents women. i'm really, really proud to be part of it. it's brilliant. that something we all know is women, we know that we should be exercising more, we know that it helps our mental health, we saw some statistics today from sport england that 65% of women know that they feel better whenever they are active, but some still find those excuses, what is your message to them? laughing while, i've got loads of excuses. you will not at 1.1 wasn't even getting up until 11 o'clock in the morning, and people are going over my bed insane get up. ijust say, like, it's small steps. you've got to pull yourself up and out of it and if you do a little bit, even if you do it like three or times a week and about two or three times a week and about two or three times isjust a times a week and about two or three times is just a slow build, because i've got to the point where i was like racing with my kids and trying to like compete with their set ups, and they are tiny so it was
6:56 pm
brilliant. really, really good. i think lots of women benefits. it's been brilliant to see you aneesa great to see the advert. i hope a lot of people are inspired by it -- hope a lot of people are inspired by it —— by hope a lot of people are inspired by it -- by it. hope a lot of people are inspired by it —— by it. thank you forjoining us on it —— by it. thank you forjoining us on sports day. thank you. superb. now, just before we go... if running 100 metres as fast as you can wasn't difficult enough, then imagine having to dodge a speeding cat on the finish line. this is what happened to the competitors in a race in istanbul over the weekend — in the balkan under 20 championships just as the athletes were racing towards the line. no one fell over and the cat made it unscathed to the other side. they do say cats have nine lives. for the record, the race was won by umut uysal of turkey. i don't think anyone was looking at him to be perfectly honest. we were alljust him to be perfectly honest. we were all just looking at the him to be perfectly honest. we were alljust looking at the cat. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. good night from everyone here. bye— bye.
6:57 pm
hello. a flow of warm air from the south has brought some very high temperatures across parts of the uk and indeed the channel islands. this picture came from weather watcher injersey — where temperatures got all the way up to 30 degrees. in fact, just a bit above 30 degrees. but plenty of other places, not too far behind, 29 just to the west of london, 26 there in lincoln. it was a bit cooler the further north and west you were because we had some extra cloud. you can see that here on the satellite picture. it did give some patchy rain through the day across parts of northern ireland and scotland. and if anything, as we go through this evening and tonight, that rain will pep up a bit. so some heavier bursts of rain drifting through here. could just be the odd shower into southwest wales, the southwest of england, and a few fog patches across some southern and eastern parts of england. a relatively mild night, lows between 10—14 degrees. tomorrow, another very warm day for most, particularly a cross england wales where we see
6:58 pm
a lot of sunshine. the odd showerfor the southwest, wales, maybe northern england as well. northern ireland will brighten up through the day with some sunshine and it will turn drier and brighter for many parts of scotland. the odd shower into the afternoon and some areas of rain continuing across the far north, particularly through the northern isles. could well turn quite misty and murky for some north seacoasts, but temperatures 21 degrees for glascow, 22 degrees in belfast, i think the highest temperature likely to be found in east anglia — around 30 degrees. but it's the last very warm day because as we head through the rest of the week, from mid—week onwards, well, it will stay dry, it will turn cooler as this area of high pressure builds its way in from the northwest. and with the winds around, high—pressure flowing in a clockwise direction, that will start to bring us some northerly winds and a much, much coolerfeel. you can see those northerly winds kicking in across northern areas on wednesday. a weak frontal system bringing cloud and some spots of rain, very little rain on that weather front and some areas of mist and murk for north seacoast.
6:59 pm
but look at these temperatures — 13 degrees in aberdeen, 17 in belfast and in hull. still warm down towards the south but not as warm, middle 20s looks like the highest temperature we will see. then as we head through thursday and friday, well, it stays relatively cool in the north. dry for the most part, a bit of rain in the far northwest and it stays dry further south as well, much cooler than it has been and breezy.
7:00 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is 0utside source. donald trump is about to touch down in california where unprecendented wildfires are ravaging the west coast. he blames bad forest management — his rival to the presidency thinks otherwise. if you give a claimant arsonist for more yea rs if you give a claimant arsonist for more years in the white house, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of america ablaze? a stunning discovery in the atmosphere of venus — scientists find evidence they say could indicate signs of life on the planet. the british parliament debates a controversial bill that would allow the government to break international law and override part of the brexit treaty.
