in a different tent right now. jon kay, bbc news, braunton in north devon. time for a look at the weather here's ben rich. good evening, the knights have started to get a bit chilly for camping in recent days and we will stick with some fairly chilly nights in the next few days —— the nights. bright skies and sunshine but also one or two showers, maybe not quite as many in the next few days as we had this afternoon. you can see them here, continuing to drift westwards this evening and tonight with further showers pushing in to eastern counties of england and a lot of cloud gathering in the north—east of scotland which will roll in through the night. of the odd patch of fog possible in the central belt, lowest temperatures in western scotland of one or 2 degrees, fairly chilly elsewhere but

nothing exceptional for this time of year. tomorrow, quite a lot of cloud in the north—east of scotland, still some showers further south particularly in the eastern half of england. the best sunshine in northern ireland, wales and the south—west. not quite as windy as it has been in the last couple of days but still pretty cool, 10—14 at best. similar on friday, some fairly large areas of cloud around, potentially thick enough to squeeze out the odd spot of rain or light shower but equally, there will be some brighter spells with highs of 11-13 . some brighter spells with highs of 11—13 . weekend looks predominantly dry, not always desperately sunny with a fair dry, not always desperately sunny withafairamount dry, not always desperately sunny with a fair amount of cloud and temperatures once again struggling, 13 or 1a degrees at best but a big change heading into next week because low pressure will take over, you can see frontal system is approaching and that brings the potential for some pretty heavy rain and brisk winds. make the most of the dry weather when you get it over

the dry weather when you get it over the next few days. that's all from the bbc news at six. so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s

hello and welcome to sportsday. project big picture is abandoned — a unanimous decision at a premier league meeting today — so whats next for the bail out of the football league? there are green shoots in lower league football though — as macclesfield fc launched yesterday, we'll hear how other clubs could rise from the ashes. the home nations are all in nations league action tonight — we'll be live at wembley where england take on denmark. also coming up in the programme.

inspiring a generation of "boss women" — the ugandan netballer blazing a trail in the superleague, and making the ultimate sacrifice to play elite sport in the uk. it will many people will be with their kids, but sometimes you need to make bigger moves. hello and welcome to sportsday. good evening — for the past week its been the most divisive topic in football — project big picture — put forward by the country's biggest clubs — more power to them, in exchange for a 250 million pound bailout package for sides further down the football pyramid. its been described as "project power grab"

by the culture secretary, and as "damaging" by the premier league itself. today, at a meeting — clubs voted to abandon the plan. which raises the question — what's next for the football league bail—out? where will it come from and will it come in time to save those lower league clubs who say they have just a matter of weeks to survive? lets let's speak to our sports correspondent laura scott who's been following this story for us today — never much support at the higher level of the game for this plan — what was said at this meeting? this was the first time of the premier league cloud selection got around the table with a virtual one, to discuss the project since the plans emerged on sunday. we understand that liverpool and manchester united were both on the call, albeit not the main proponents of project pick picture —— big picture. they said that they would

not endorse or pursue project big picture, but what they would do is work together on strategic plan on moving forward. and promoting a discussion of potential change in the status quo and what richard master is set on the back of the cults that perhaps there were systemic issues that had not been dealt with in the strategic plan will endeavour to address those but clearly over the last few days, there's been a lot of oppositions and in project big picture, there the association from the premier league and concerns about being potentially damaging and we heard from the chief executive today, and he said that he did not expect it to get much traction and should not be given much credence. we also heard, mentioned from the culture secretary who called in project power grab it and said that he thought it would, perhaps highlighted the failure of

football governments but, there was support from clubs we understand that the majority of them did back the proposals and again, the chairman did support. they have put forward some money, just tell us about the sums involved. and project big picture, there is a £250 bailout, and that has now been shelved and but we have isa has now been shelved and but we have is a £50 million rescue package which we understand will be made of £20 million in grants to league1 in league 2 clubs and then the b of £30 million reserve to ensure that no clu bs million reserve to ensure that no clubs go under and we understand thatis clubs go under and we understand that is more likely to be in the form of interest—free loans and it is important to mention and highlight that these are very much targeted at league1

highlight that these are very much targeted at league 1 and league at two levels. there is no guarantee for championship clubs concerns have been raised by premier league clubs that why should they finance their rivals in the championship? but also, there is a concern about wages in the championship exceeding revenue from number of clubs and that the money would not be wisely spent. 0f that the money would not be wisely spent. of the composition will be ongoing about any support to the championship and in the secretary has said that this £50 million rescue that is on top of the solidarity payments is what he calls a good start. thank you very much for that. our sports correspondent. well, let's get a view now from a football league club executive — the ceo of league two club mansfield town, david sharpe. what do you make of this latest development?

yes, our results also the belief in a herd the news that it will be very ha rd to a herd the news that it will be very hard to get this through with the majority of premier league clubs in the back of my head, and not feel added chance, for the majority of the fl clubs, it was very positive. but it has acted as a catalyst for this conversation which is great. if he had not brought it up and they're not broken, project big picture and isa not broken, project big picture and is a broken, we will be having these conversations today. so, it is going to act as a great way to move forward and it's going to be positive change and hopefully, hopefully in a few weeks, but have more positive news that we have heard today. it has gotten the ball rolling, this package with add—ons coming to around 70 odd. do you think they'll be enough? would be your solution to restructuring and the? i think the refinancing, the

majority of league1 the? i think the refinancing, the majority of league 1 and league 2 are very reliant on fans and additional income, whether it be alcohol spin, food, etc, hospitality. it does seem sensible, the champions league is a different situation and they have every right to question why they should be bailing out the championship that they have incurred huge losses a long time for covid—19. so, that a whole different picture. so as far as the one in week two are concerned, today is a positive day and hopefully we'll hear more positive news in the weeks to come. broadly, the efl clubs are in support of project big picture — that's because they are facing financial ruin as the coronavirus pandemic continues to keep fans out of grounds, and they need that bail—out from the premier league. but there are green—shoots in the lower leagues — macclesfield town was reborn yesterday as macclesfield fc,

after it was expelled from the league and wound up in september — could there be a way back for others? patrick gearey examines how a club can rise again from the ashes of ruin. after a brutal ending, the smiling face of the new fc, starting up less than a month after the winding up of the 0rton articles feel town. the new one will begin on for paul's letter but with the backing of a local businessman, the same badge and ground. single football club going out of business would be devastating for the community, the football fans. so when he asked me to get involved, ijumped at the opportunity because i want to see boys and girls club to this football clu b boys and girls club to this football club and watch new heroes being built. it is the fans journey, it is oui’ built. it is the fans journey, it is our journey, it's the built. it is the fans journey, it is ourjourney, it's the hold of michael fields journey, ourjourney, it's the hold of michael fieldsjourney, but ourjourney, it's the hold of michael fields journey, but is going to be exciting. the latest example of what is called a phoenix club.

forged among the ashes and anger of the order clubs financial ruin. last august, that was barry, expelled due to money problems. eventually, they decided to start again, build their own barry. singh people and seeing what is going on, i think once you pick up and get behind the team —— seeing. english footballs division ten. you see what everybody needed with the bailouts in the project big picture, etc, there is something wrong in football, so this is our way of carving out her own destiny by putting it back in the responsibility of the fence to be based on the shareholders to own and make decisions on it. including macclesfield, 11 clubs in the football league of reformed in the

past 35 years. to have made it all the way back to the league, formed 28 years ago when they were moved to milton teens. they begin in the ninth two year and begin the third, bring back to her old crowd at wimbledon, there from the very beginning. we need strong leadership, if you need leadership that's got skin like a rhino because people will always want to check the land and some will make a decision and that is very difficult. when you carry a football club right, you have a lot of fans, you're going to have a lot of fans, you're going to have so much fun on the way back up. of course, this little easier to understand it when it is gone so well for wimbledon, we retreat to the bottom of the will that he may kill, the well back it can be difficult. —— hill, the road back can be difficult. and you can find out more about afc
