this will be a northern scotland. this will be a repeat performance tomorrow. it is high pressure keeping thing settled and dry, notjust tomorrow but through the weekend. just a hint next week some areas could see a little bit of rain. there is a chance of a night of catching a passing shower in the northern isles, cloudy in northern scotland. elsewhere it is clear at the temperatures will be dipping again. we are expecting a frost in many places and it could be coldest across eastern england, down 2—4 in the countryside. a meteor shower peaked last night and one lucky weather watcher got a view. there are other opportunities tonight. after the chilly start in the morning, temperatures will rebound in the sunshine. plenty more of so passing shower possible in the northern isles and there may be high cloud developing tomorrow, turning the sun a little hazy. winds are light away from the english channel, channel islands and it will be quite

dusty. there is some some warmth again, 18, i9 dusty. there is some some warmth again, 18, 19 and may be 20 tomorrow and that'll be the first time this month away far channel islands we have reached that high. pollen levels are high, and that is tree pollen and uv is strong too high. it is strong sunshine and if you are in a chilly breeze. high pressure still close by over the weekend. strong easterly breeze moving in and that will gradually cool things over the weekend. that will bring more cloud in, across eastern areas but throughout, it is staying dry. that's all from the bbc news at six. it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm kat downes. a revolution in football? amid the ruins of the european

superleague, fans demand more say, and managers pledge their loyalty. the soul of the sport belongs to the fans. and that's it. the premier league big six have pulled out, but what about the big names in spain? we'll take a look at how the embers of the superleague dream still glow in the country's biggest cities. the ioc say the olympics will stay protest free as rules banning demonstrations remain in place. good evening. another day of self—reflection for football as the game works out where it goes next after the latest incarnation of the european superleague

crumbled less than 48 hours after it was announced. all week, fans have been voicing their anger over plans for the so—called big six premier league clubs tojoin the league. today, we saw more protests. ben croucherjoins me now with the latest. it has all been really about fans voices —— fans�* voices being heard. we've heard protest outside the premier league masters. that haven't stopped their hands having their voice heard. this was that their training ground around 9am this morning. about 20 supporters broke in rather peacefully by the looks of things. this is them outside the front door of the complex. they were met by the manager. a couple of the players and the staff as well before they dispersed, making sure that

they dispersed, making sure that they made the old trafford board well aware of what they thought about these protests. they've also seen protest outside some of the matches. on thursday, we heard from more managers. carlo ancellotti — everton boss said he thought it was a joke. arsenal were one of those six english clubs. mikel arteta says their owner has apologised to him butjust listen to how passionately he feels about the fans voice. this has given a big lesson, and it shows_ this has given a big lesson, and it shows the — this has given a big lesson, and it shows the importance of football in the world — shows the importance of football in the world. and it shows that the soul of— the world. and it shows that the soul of the — the world. and it shows that the soul of the sport belongs to the fans. _ soul of the sport belongs to the fans. and — soul of the sport belongs to the fans, and that's it. during this pandemic, _ fans, and that's it. during this pandemic, for a year, we've fans, and that's it. during this pandemic, fora year, we've been trying _ pandemic, fora year, we've been trying to— pandemic, fora year, we've been trying to sustain this industry with no fans_ trying to sustain this industry with no fans in— trying to sustain this industry with no fans in the stadium, but when the fans have _ no fans in the stadium, but when the fans have to— no fans in the stadium, but when the fans have to come out and talk, they talk realty _

spain. so, that's the current picture in the premier league. after a week of protest, anger and division, how does football here move on from this? well, people power has had quite a moment over the last four days — fans�* voices have been raised and heard. perhaps it's time those who buy tickets, shirts, and a matchday pie had more of a say in how their clubs are run? kevin connolley has been looking at how its done in germany. at how it's done in germany. it might not look like it, but it is match day. in lockdown, shortly before kick—off, all is calm. before covid came along, things were different. cheering this is home to one of you're a's most passionate crowds. but fans don'tjust have a voice on the terraces here. for less than 70 euros a year, you can become a member with a voice and every big decision. german rules give 50% plus

supporters are not allowed to gather at there stadium for now. but it seems pretty clear they've never allowed the club to be sold to a foreign prince or a foreign oligarch. foreign prince or a foreign oligarch-— foreign prince or a foreign oliuarch. �*, ., . , ., foreign prince or a foreign oliuarch. �*, .,. , ., , oligarch. it's a club for the people and they make — oligarch. it's a club for the people and they make it _ oligarch. it's a club for the people and they make it different. - oligarch. it's a club for the people and they make it different. it - oligarch. it's a club for the people | and they make it different. it could generate more income, and that would ruin what this club is made of. whatever the challenges to come german fans are determined to use their power to put football onto the next generation in good shape. kevin connolly, bbc news, dortmund. that is how it's done in germany. earlier, i spoke to tom greatrex from the football supporters association and i asked him if the german model — 51% of the vote to fans — could be an option for english football to follow. well, it's certainly a model that ensured that supporters have influence over their clubs and

prevents owners and investors doing things instrumental to the club. i think it's something that's well worthy of consideration. it's one route to get to much better positions and it's something i'm sure the review that's going to start will look into.— sure the review that's going to start will look into. how else do ou start will look into. how else do you involve _ start will look into. how else do you involve fans _ start will look into. how else do you involve fans more _ start will look into. how else do you involve fans more in - start will look into. how else do you involve fans more in the - start will look into. how else do - you involve fans more in the running of the game?— of the game? there are various different ways _ of the game? there are various different ways in _ of the game? there are various different ways in which - of the game? there are various different ways in which you - of the game? there are various different ways in which you can | of the game? there are various i different ways in which you can do this. you can have a licensing system which other european nations have, you can have fans on the board of the club, you can have a series of the club, you can have a series of areas where changes can't be made without reference to either members or season—ticket holders, things like if you're on a move ground or change colours. so, there are different ways of doing it and that's what i think is important this review looks at and find the best solution for english football. what would you like to see come out of that family and review? what of that family and review? what we've like to — of that family and review? what we've like to see _ of that family and review? what we've like to see is _ of that family and review? what we've like to see is a _

of that family and review? “twat we've like to see is a recognition that supporters are important. it“s that supporters are important. it's very easy to say football is nothing without fans. well, the way of demonstrating that is to ensure that fans have a say in the way in which football is run and the way in which their clubs are run so they can be sustained for the future. that's the goal here, to have a healthy, vibrant, competitive english system of football, and the best way to do thatis of football, and the best way to do that is make sure fans are at the heart of the decision—making. that heart of the decision-making. that is the picture _ heart of the decision-making. that is the picture in _ heart of the decision—making. that is the picture in the uk. or english football specifically. it looks like fans it may be getting a little bit more power and there could be some revolution on the way, but what about spanish football? two of the clubs that signed up still haven't pulled out.— of the clubs that signed up still haven't pulled out. that's another ruestion haven't pulled out. that's another question entirely. _ all of the club in the top two tiers met today except for real, barcelona and atletico. they condemned the super league, saying "they unanimously and strong

rejected the plans for this competition. fans fa ns very fans very much having their voices heard. very much against this. they said sporting merit should be the only way determined to get into. they said football fans across europe can dream that there club can and excel and compete in european football. just to give you a sense of the strangeness of this all and the sheer anger, this was the placeholder ahead of the press conference. note — the black background and the "earn it" slogan we've seen some premier league teams wear in their warmups. in terms of getting into european football. ., ., , in terms of getting into european football. ., ,, , ., .,
