marseille obviously intended to take legal action. marseille obviously intended to take legalaction. only marseille obviously intended to take legal action. only three minors were arrested last night, the investigation goes on. a public prosecutor has taken up the case and both clubs have been summoned to a disciplinary hearing that will take place at the league headquarters on wednesday. what the punishment will be, of course, we do not know yet. maybe a lifetime stadium band for the troublemakers as they were caught on camera, so we will see what happened. as we speak, a high government officials having a right now in nice with the police to discuss yesterday's incident, and the latest news is that the popular stand for yesterday's trouble will be closed for at least four games.

you say it's shocking and shameful, and such a shame because all major football grounds are full again for the first time in 18 months, and this was the first time nice had a full house. it's kind of a derby match, as well, down there on the south coast — had there been history between these two sites, are there always fire rematches? kind between these two sites, are there always fire rematches?_ always fire rematches? kind of, as ou said, always fire rematches? kind of, as you said. it's _ always fire rematches? kind of, as you said. it's a _ always fire rematches? kind of, as you said, it's a darby _ always fire rematches? kind of, as you said, it's a darby between - always fire rematches? kind of, as you said, it's a darby between two | you said, it's a darby between two teams that are very near, nice and marseilles. so it's always kind of hot between the two, there is fire between marseilles and nice. but fans, as you said, have been waiting so long to get back into the stadiums — the return of fans was meant to bring joy, and this isjust very disappointing. and unfortunately, incidence of these kinds are not new. this is the second time that something like this has happened since the beginning of the season. just two weeks ago in mont tellier, and darby between

marseilles —— montpellier. one player received a bottle to the face, so it's shameful because football in france had been brilliant this season, and at a time of high immediate attention for ligue un, fans have brought shame to french football. i think we all agree today to say it is just unacceptable, and now there must be sanctions, of course. it unacceptable, and now there must be sanctions, of course.— sanctions, of course. it got slithtl sanctions, of course. it got slightly confusing, - sanctions, of course. it got slightly confusing, didn't . sanctions, of course. it got| slightly confusing, didn't it, because marseilles were very quick, with their president saying some of our players are injured, we cannot guarantee the safety of our players, and the rest referee is on their side — then nice said no, let's get this done in the last 15 minutes, so the french federation will be wanting to clear that up. apparently the league wanted them to be finished as well, the game? exactly, some players — finished as well, the game? exactly, some players were _ finished as well, the game? exactly, some players were injured, - finished as well, the game? exactly, some players were injured, so - some players were injured, so dimitri payet but also a formal

arson or —— former arsenal player who had strangled marks on his neck. so marseilles players decided not to come back to the pitch, and obviously, as you said their safety was not secured, they didn't want to finish the game. we must say that security in the stadium was obviously deficient, so the referee wanted to end of the game. at the league, with the support of local authorities, wanted the game to continue. police exley wanted the to keep fans —— actually wanted... so the players came back on the pitch, but marseilles players didn't. so an unreal situation when, after a long suspension, kick—off was given with only nice players on the pitch. so the match restarted with no marseilles players to take it, it was ridiculous, and the game was definitely cancelled just a few seconds later. it’s definitely cancelled 'ust a few seconds later._ definitely cancelled 'ust a few seconds later. it's quite farcical. you touched _

official engagements — amongst them, a visit to a city centre youth club. it's a dream come true, i keep saying this, when i was a kid, with my coach i said, "i'm going to be the mayor, i'm going to be the mayor." went to the olympics, "i'm going to be the mayor." come back, i'm the mayor! so dream's a reality, really. the role of the mayor involves encouraging young people and this group seemed impressed. we both do boxing. together and itjust... that's our dream, so we're - going to hopefully reach them. this inspired me a lot, and i can't believe he won the medal, a silver. i was proud, he should be proud of himself. . he made everyone else proud, it was the best he could do. i everywhere we've been today with ben, he's been inundated with people wanting to wish him well, telling him how proud they are, having pictures with him. and he's so good with the local community. he's happy to meet everybody. there were celebrations as ben met the crowds at wolves, time also for some new policies.

i've told people that the kids can have monday to wednesday, have a couple of playstations and a bottom grill, so i think i'm winning with the kids. the mum and dads, things like that, they're not agreeing, but if you can get the kids to vote, i think i'll get a couple of votes and you might see me there with the chain on, with the robes permanently. it could be a while before he swaps the boxing ring for the political fray, but this honorary mayor seems to have secured the popular vote. liz copper, bbc news, wolverhampton. he told the crowd at molineux yesterday that his next step is to turn professional. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. for now, goodbye. well, the weather's looking very settled over the next few days. it's been a fine day today,

and really, not an awful lot of change on the way. tomorrow, so, this week we're calling it "sunny spells, cloudy at times" — because that's the kind of weather high pressure builds. and the high pressure is over us right now, and it's not going to budge probably for around seven days or so at least. this is the satellite picture from earlier on. you can see various areas of cloud floating in this area of high pressure, but big breaks in the cloud, too — so some of us have had clear blue skies, others have been stuck underneath the cloud. for example, one bank of cloud here drifting on the wind off the north sea into eastern and central areas of england. so, for example, here first thing on tuesday, it will be fairly cloudy, whereas many other parts of the country will be waking up to sunshine. let's have a look at the morning and early afternoon then. so, this is around midday, central scotland in the very centre of the high—pressure, so the best of the weather here. here's a bit of cloud, which should break up

through the morning, now, notice spits and spots of rain around coastal areas, maybe where that cloud is thickest, so your local forecasts will concentrate on that. but this is the broad picture on tuesday. around 21 in london, maybe 23 expected in glasgow. and here is the high pressure on wednesday — just a suggestion of a cool front there in the far north of the country, which will be slipping southwards over the coming days. now, here's the weather map for wednesday, so high pressure centred here around western scotland. a little bit of a cool breeze there around the north sea coast. not too noticeable on wednesday, but by that time we get to thursday, i think we will see freshening winds on the north sea coast anywhere from aberdeenshiredown into east anglia. here's that breeze, you can see the wind coming from the north. a cool front here, that indicates thick cloud, and you can see that arc of cloud as this cool front, and i say "cool", i mean, it's really a cold front, but it's hardly bringing particularly cold weather. temperatures will be around about, say 16—17 celsius. the best of the weather will be towards the west at the country

around 21—22 celsius in the sunshine. so, here's the summary and the outlook for the week ahead, and you can see not a lot changes even into the weekend. not too hot, not too cold, for most of us, just right. bye— bye.
