the construction firm, a large local employer. here, plans to invest in infrastructure and building are welcome. the question — how to pay for it? the numbers don't mean anything any more. they're kind of so huge, you just know it's a large number and it's going to take some sorting out at some point of the future. and perhaps not this generation, perhaps the next generation to follow and i do worry about that. there is understanding here of tough economic choices to come, but a government that's promised opportunity for all can't afford any area to feel left behind. alex forsyth, bbc news, rossendale. time for a look at the weather — here's ben rich. good evening. at this time of the year, if the day ends with clear skies like this, you can be fairly sure that you will have a chilly night. some chilly nights on the way over the next few, which will lead to frost and fog, and the days will not be warm, either. tonight, one or two patches developing, some extra

cloud lingering across south—east england and the channel islands, perhaps a bit of rain. temperatures evenin perhaps a bit of rain. temperatures even in the towns and cities getting down to around freezing. some spots in the countryside easily below freezing. so, some frost tomorrow morning. but high pressure is beginning to take charge of our weather. nosing its way in from the south—west which means a lot of dry but rather chilly weather over the next few days. still a band of cloud across the far south—east tomorrow. elsewhere, any fog patches should clear, to be followed by sunshine. but it is going to be quite chilly, temperatures in most spots stuck in a single digits. tomorrow night is going to be another chilly one with a touch of frost. a bit of rain in the far north—west, but elsewhere i think the fog is going to be a bigger problem, it will be quite widespread and dense on friday morning and flow to clear. one or

two spots might hold on to fog all day long, and if that happens, it will really feel chilly. into the weekend, something a bit milder trying to come into the south—west, but elsewhere, it stays pretty chilly, particularly further north and east. that's it. now on bbc one, we canjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. a special programme this wednesday night from the bbc sport centre with me chetan pathak as we pay tribute to diego maradona. a man who scored one of the greatest goals in the history of football.

but on a football pitch. his play described as god like. he himself described this iconic moment at the 1986 world cup as the hand of god, when he knocked england out of the tournament and led his country to the trophy. he scored 3a goals in 91 appearances for argentina, representing them in four world cups. he played too for barcelona and napoli — winning two serie a titles in italy. his achievements are many, his legacy unparalleled. we'll be in south america shortly for reaction there but first our football correspondent andy swiss looks back on the career of the man nicknamed the golden boy. he nicknamed the golden boy. was once described as half he was once described as half angel half devil. he was once described as half angel, half devil and at his best, he was out of this world. he has burruchaga to his left and valdano to his left... he won't need any of them. 0h!
