and what is it like to have cristiano ronaldo back at the club? yeah, that's a... a great feeling for me as a player. as a player, but as a fan of the club, as well, i think it's always nice when, you know, a club legend finds a way back to the club. and to be playing with him, you know, back at old trafford is a terrific feeling. and, hopefully, it gives us the push that we need to start winning these trophies. marcus rashford talking to sally nugent. time for a look at the weather... thank you and good afternoon. mother nature has been kind at the moment. the weather really is not bad at all and there. a fair bit of cloud around and we will be stuck with the cloud for the next few days but some sunshine too, not like it everywhere and the far north of the country has
1:31 pm
got a fair bit of thick cloud and around this area of high pressure, which will be dominating our weather for the next few days is also a lot of cloud. low pressure just where my headis of cloud. low pressure just where my head is in the atlantic. and a weather front is grazing the north of the quite substantial cloud across parts of scotland. especially the north—west highlands and the hebrides. the weather is quite wet. south of the lowlands, it is more or less the same. variable amounts of cloud and the further south, the brighter the skies will be. where the sunshine comes out, it will be 15-17. not the sunshine comes out, it will be 15—17. not much changes through the night because high pressure pretty much anchored across ireland. the weather wants to go around the area of high pressure, nothing really moves much from west to east or the other way around. we have a area of thick cloud with bits and pieces of rain sliding along the north sea coast tomorrow on tuesday. out towards the west and the south, that
1:32 pm
is where the brighter skies will be and be slightly higher temperatures, 17 in cardiff and may be 17 in glasgow and edinburgh as well. the high pressure is pretty much almost over us, certainly across england, wales and northern ireland on wednesday. again, across scotland, very close to these weather fronts which are grazing the north of the uk, bringing splits and spots but on the whole, the middle of the week isn't looking bad. again, with a bit of prolonged brightness, temperatures getting up to 17 in london, 15 in glasgow, newcastle, which is slightly higher than what we would expect to see this time of the year. thursday, there is a subtle change to the atmosphere. the cold front is approaching and behind the cold front, the winds switch direction. they come from the north and the bigjump direction. they come from the north and the big jump in the direction, northerly here, south—westerly here, where the south—westerly is, mild and bright and where the northerly is comedy temperatures start to drop and that bit in between, that is what we call a weather front. ——
1:33 pm
northerly is, the temperatures. this is the summary for this week. high teens, mid teens for most of us and a bit of rain in the north to start the week and end the week. that's it. ~ ., , the week and end the week. that's it. ~ ., a reminder of our top story... the soaring cost of energy, british companies call for immediate action from the government after warning that some factories could soon shut down. that's all from the bbc news at one so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, your wales manager robert page has promised an all out attack for

else is injured. manchester united's marcus rashford has been speaking for the first time about the racsit abuse he receieved after missing a penalty for england at euro 2020. —— racist. rashford, who received an honourary doctorate from manchester unibersity, came off the bench before missing his spot kick in teh final with italy. he's been speaking to sally nugent about the racism he faced afterwards and what the support he's received since has meant to him. there is never a time that racism is acceptable, or that you should acceptable, or that you should accept racism and get on with your life. but probably on the biggest stage, racism has been in front of us as young players, it was nice to see so many people supporting us without us even saying anything. derby county have appealed against the 12—point deduction they have received for going
1:36 pm
into administration. the punishment was automatically triggered when they went into administration last month, but the club argue it was because of the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, so the points deduction should not apply. derby are currently bottom of the championship table. andy murray beat one of the rising stars of men's tennis, carlos alvarez, to reach the third round of indian wells. murray was mixing up his game, producing an underarm serve in the second set. he beat the spaniard in three sets, but called the 18—year—old a world number one in the making. he plays alexander zverev next. murray was asked about the unusual shot and said alvarez was in the right position for him to pull it off. you know, he's going to stand that far back and i'm getting no love from the court and the conditions, why not try it and see if i can bring him forward a little bit? i wasn't expecting, obviously, to get an ace out of it but he was so far back, he didn't obviously react, wasn't expecting it.

ben stokes has posted a photogrpah of himself holding a cricket batjust days after a second opperation on his injured finger. the england all—rounder won't recover in time for the ashes in december, but showed good progress on his social media account. he captured the photograph. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. chris packham has said he will not stop campaign against hunting and an immortal day despite an arson attack outside his home in the new forest. the car was set alight in the early hours on friday, police are
1:38 pm
investigating. in his first interview since, he told bbc news were happening. two men, at least two men, masked and covered, parked a land roverfull of fuel at the gates of my garden and set fire to it which caused a significant explosion, damaging the gates beyond repair. very sadly, damaging an oak tree alongside the gates as well. we have cctv at the property, we've been working closely with police to make sure we complied with all their suggestions so we have footage of it but as i say, they were masked and wearing sunglasses and not easy to identify. we see this as an escalation of threats against us that have been ongoing for at least two to three years. in previous incidents, they have been tying dead animals against the gate and only recently i found yet another animal thrown outside the house so this has been ongoing. we have received written death threats and all sorts of unpleasant things through the post. again, i work closely with police and they have given excellent guidance on how to deal with these things and we have been complying
1:39 pm
but, as you can imagine, gathering evidence to find out who the perpetrators are is very difficult, and they have done their very best but until this point, we haven't been able to pursue any individuals although we have quite a good idea about who some of them might be. i have taken a financial hit, because they have harassed people who would employ me. i have found alternatives but there is no alternatives but there is no alternative if your house is burned down or your stepdaughter is beaten up down or your stepdaughter is beaten up or your partner, my partner, is
1:40 pm
heard as well. i don't know, where does it stop? i have to continue, and in fact i have an ever increasing urgent need to continue given the parlous state of the world, and also i am convinced —— conscious of the state of the natural world because of —— because environmentalists and even prince charles, as he submitted this morning, we feel a certain underlying sense of shame that we have not done enough quickly enough and both he and i are older gentleman and as a customer is not that we recognise that our time is running out and therefore we have to act with ever more energy and determination to make a differs while we have the opportunity. so of course i cannot back down and i will not back down, i may change my mind if i think one of the things i campaign for turns out to be wrong, we all should reserve the right, because i am asking other people to change there, but at this point in time the things i am campaigning
1:41 pm
against, fox hunting, illegal unsustainable shooting, so on, they would be beneficial to our natural world if we were to phase them out or stop them straightaway in some instances. so that is a mission that i have chosen to accept and it cannot be made impossible. our latest headlines. industries which are struggling with soaring energy cause have appealed for government action as more talks take place today with ministers and made a warning that some factories could soon have to shutdown. metropolitan police say they are taking no further action after a review into sexual abuse allegations surrounding prince andrew. one in six of the most critically ill coronavirus patients in hospital are unvaccinated pregnant women, according to new data from nhs

1:50 pm
in a way, you may not feel like you're in a university building at all. that you're in a structure that kind of is asking you, what you want to do here? we are sitting in the town house at kingston university, which is a building we realised as a result of an riba competition in 2013. the building is surrounded on three sides and that is an urban experience which connects the university back to the town. the university aspired to reveal the activities of the interior of the building to the wider public. i really love being in the foyeru because you watch the buses going up and down and you see people on buses looking in, and they probably say to themselves, what goes on in there? i must come back and have a look some time. for me, the thing that makes town house really special is the combination of things, i suppose it's the light, it's the space, is _ the views from the building.
1:51 pm
it's quite soft, ithink, actually, for a building that is predominantly concrete. it really lends itself to encounters between staff and student, student to students, and that's really important to us, that's the feel we _ were hoping to create with the building. the ceiling has these specially made acoustic baffles which absorb sound. they wall panelling itself is kind of striated. in this building, you have two different aspects, a library and a dance faculty, in the one space. from an acoustic point of view, you have to keep them apart but from an ideological and cultural point of view, you want to connect them, so that was the challenge of this project. we designed the surrounds to the staircase so they're overlooked, so people can actually work there by standing at the edges overlooking the staircase. because there is something really phenomenal about people watching. the building is a concrete building, it is a concrete frame. we have a thermally active system which allows the building to be cooled through that concrete. so not only is the concrete structure, but
1:52 pm
it's also environmental. for me, the one word that epitomises this building is open. it's very important to our students that they feel that this building is here for them and they can move into it and _ occupy it and use it the way that they want to. the town house contains two aspects, it contains town which has a civic dimension, and it contains house, which has a sense of belonging, sense of home. it's open and it is porous. it's a democratic space. with the economy opening up again we've been making greater use of our offices and public buildings, and as the weather gets colder more of us will be spending more time indoors. experts say getting the ventilation right could help reduce the risk of catching covid indoors. but is enough being done on that? let's speak to orla hegarty, an architect and
1:53 pm
thank you for being with us. first of all, how much has the pandemic changed thinking on architecture, in terms of ventilation and other issues? i terms of ventilation and other issues? ~ . terms of ventilation and other issues? ~' ., , , issues? i think we have been very slow to adopt _ issues? i think we have been very slow to adopt the _ issues? i think we have been very slow to adopt the principles i issues? i think we have been very slow to adopt the principles of i slow to adopt the principles of understanding disease spread, and i think the culture of understanding that architecture is very closely connected with public health has maybe been forgotten or fallen out of our memory in recent years. as we have moved was responding to the climate crisis, we have moved more toward sealing our buildings and compromising on the indoor air quality. which has caused the conditions that we see now where we have more risk of virus spread in poor indoor air conditions. we are all think about _ poor indoor air conditions. we are all think about climate _ poor indoor air conditions. we are all think about climate change i poor indoor air conditions. we are | all think about climate change with cop26 coming up shortly, the world's attention on that, but as you say we also have to think about better ventilation in buildings. the two thins are ventilation in buildings. the two things are intrinsically _ ventilation in buildings. the two i things are intrinsically connected, thatis things are intrinsically connected,
1:54 pm
that is the advantage of this in that is the advantage of this in that most governments have anticipated building retrofit as part of the climate response. more importantly it is measurable so when we talk about risk in buildings and pandemic spread, most people understand it is an indoor race, most people understand that the predominant risk is from inhaling the virus, so it is in the air, all of this is measurable in buildings, its architecture and engineering, and this history was very well—known in the past, it was used as a strategy to combat previous pandemic. we need to engage with this, and particularly as we come into the winter season now where people do not ventilate their buildings as well as they do in summer because they are concerned about energy—saving and comfort, that we are in higher risk conditions that we were a couple months ago. we really need to target the higher risk buildings in order to prevent those conditions developing where people become infected even in empty rooms where other people have been previously.
