seize the aftermath, what we did seize the aftermath, very angry reaction from diakhaby and the valencia players. he left the field in protest, they did then later come back, although accurate you did take no further part in the match. valencia have gone on to say that the reason they came back onto the field, they risk being forfeiting points and potentially being forfeiting the match and then being forfeiting the match and then being docked points later on —— diakhaby did not take further part. they did support diakhaby yesterday, a number of their players taking this picture from their training ground, backing diakhaby and believing his account of events. we have heard from juan cala today, so seemingly both players speaking on the events. we seemingly both players speaking on the events. ~ ., ., , .~ ., _ the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning. _ the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning, he _ the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning, he put _ the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning, he put out _ the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning, he put out this - the events. we heard from diakhaby this morning, he put out this video | this morning, he put out this video on twitter, basically saying, reiterating the phrase that one colour was alleged to have used. he then went on to say it was intolerable, he said one of the

6:49 pm
the pandemic. in fact, they have said there has been no cases of current averments inside the country, although many observers dispute that claim, so nobody is allowed in, nobody is allowed out, and they decided their athletes should not go to the tokyo olympics because they need to be protected. and, alex, briefly, an indication other nations could follow? what was the reaction from the ioc? the other nations could follow? what was the reaction from the ioc?— the reaction from the ioc? the ioc issued a fairly _ the reaction from the ioc? the ioc issued a fairly critical— the reaction from the ioc? the ioc issued a fairly critical statement, i issued a fairly critical statement, actually. they said they had been trying to get in contact with the north koreans, by telephone conference, and that had not happened, so they had not received, they are saying, and official application from north korea under the other pic charter. this is what has to happen, this is the protocol. countries that cannot attend the games for any reasons, they need to contact the ioc and explain why, and the ioc will then sign that off, but that has not happened so far. in terms of other countries, as i say,
6:50 pm
most have expressed confidence in the japanese organisers ability to deliver a safe games. athletes around the world, or if course, are preparing for the olympics. they are expecting to go ahead. we have seen these playbooks introduced by the organising committee which detail infine in fine detail what athletes can and cannot do come restricted access to areas, apart from venues athletes areas, apart from venues athletes are competing in. all that is in place, around the world, people think that is enough for them, but there is concern if there is another wave, another surge of coronavirus, in japan, wave, another surge of coronavirus, injapan, that could alter things. clearly that was enough for the north koreans to put out — theyjust do not want to take that risk. so far, other countries prepared to go, there are still months to go, things could change, but as of now, the
6:51 pm
games are set to begin on july 23. alex capstick alex ca pstick speaking alex capstick speaking to me a little earlier. defending masters champion dustinjohnson has been paired with england's lee westwood for the opening two rounds at augusta, with the tournament getting under way on thursday. johnson is favourite to win the green jacket again as the current world number one, while westwood is in good form himself having finished second at the players championship last month. elsewhere, rory mcilroy will play alongside ryder cup team—mate and world number three jon rahm of spain. and don't forget, you can follow it all across the bbc. they will be updates on abc five live, sports —— radio five live, sports extra, from thursday. now, she is one of england's most successful cricketers. sarah taylor won two 50 over world cups, a t20 world cup as well, in a 13—year career but retired from the sport two years ago because of anxiety issues. after taking up coaching,

6:55 pm
long while to realise it was not to do with the cricket itself, it was all the off field stuff, in terms of me and my mental health, so now i am in a better place mentally. yes, i will have tojuggle in a better place mentally. yes, i will have to juggle and still deal with those emotions and feelings, but i do feel like i am in a better place to be able to deal with those. and was the most exciting thing for you, then? what are you most looking forward to? i know your coaching at the moment with sussex, but back playing, welsh fire? what is it you're looking forward to getting your teeth and the summer? batting with the landing _ your teeth and the summer? batting with the landing will _ your teeth and the summer? batting with the landing will be _ your teeth and the summer? batting with the landing will be nice, - with the landing will be nice, rather than playing against her, because she is ugly world—class —— batting with meg lanning. it is going be weird playing again, but due to get back on the field. stepping over the rope and the import of a team again, i am going to enjoy very much. bud import of a team again, i am going to enjoy very much.— to enjoy very much. and we are certainly going _ to enjoy very much. and we are certainly going to _ to enjoy very much. and we are certainly going to enjoy - to enjoy very much. and we are l certainly going to enjoy watching you return. sarah taylor, the very best of luck playing with welsh fire
6:56 pm
in the hundred this summer. and i probably should have asked sarah if she has ever had to deal with these conditions, playing in the past. i want to show you these conditions two days before the start of the county champion season. look at this — snow. a part of the great british weather. now, look at it. this was the snow into rum —— in durham today, and i am sure the players will be hoping that will improve the next couple of days. that is it on sportsday today. for me and the rest of the team, goodbye. well, after a cold day comes a cold evening and a frosty night,
6:57 pm
but here's the good news. over the next two or three days, it is actually going to turn a little less cold — not mild by any means. in fact, the temperatures will remain below the average for the remainder of the week and into the weekend, but at least we're going to lose that biting arctic wind. you can see the wind here just from the motion of the clouds. you can see the satellite picture looping here, the clouds moving in roughly from the north, due south, so that's where our weather's been coming from — sleet, snow showers, rain showers in places, too, and that gusty wind. but this is what it looks like through this evening and overnight, largely clear across most of the uk, and the winds are dying down too. in fact, that current of cold air is slipping out into the north sea. —i or —2 very early on wednesday morning in the south. could be as low as —1i or —5 in the glens of scotland. so, wednesday is looking something like this — lots of sunshine around in the morning, sparkling and crisp, the winds will be lighter. you'll notice that. but then in the afternoon,
6:58 pm
the weather changes. the winds shift, we will get this westerly breeze which is going to waft in some cloud, so it will end up being an overcast afternoon for some of us on wednesday. still chilly — 4, 5, 6 celsius. now, wednesday evening, we start to see a real change in the northwest here. in fact, the winds are coming off the atlantic — in fact, more out of the southwest — so that means that by early on thursday morning, we're generally frost—free. the weather has changed by then. no longer do we have the arctic winds from the north. and the reason for it is this weatherfront, which is sweeping to the north of us. you can see the wind arrows here blowing out of the southwest, so some outbreaks of rain and fairly cloudy weather across, broadly, the northwest of the uk on thursday. there's some sunshine and you'll definitely notice milder conditions in the south of the uk — temperatures of around 11 degrees, for example, in birmingham and in london. now, this slightly milder weather will only be temporary, because once this weather front clears through, we open up the doors to another blast, a resurgence,
6:59 pm
of colder air from the arctic. so, yes, it temporarily turns a little bit milder through thursday and friday, and then come the weekend, it looks as though it's going to turn a bit colder again.
7:00 pm
hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. the us hasjoined indirect talks aimed at reviving the iranian nuclear deal — three years after donald trump abandoned it. presidentjoe biden wants to return america to the landmark accord — but tehran says it won't meet the us face—to—face in vienna — until sanctions are dropped. translation: if america's will, i seriousness and honesty is proven. it could be a good sign for a betterfuture, a future of peace and security. also in the programme — it's day seven in the trial over the killing of george floyd — and another minneapolis police officer has given evidence that derek chauvin's actions during his arrest went beyond what was authorised.
