dad took that clark there and his dad took that piece of video and has been watched by more than 1 million time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. not a bad result weather—wise if you like spring warmth and sunshine and this was the scene in the north—west of wales, a beautiful day and temperatures in north—west wales today got close to 21 celsius and the warmest day of the year so far will stop 21 as well in northolt in the north—west of london and plenty of other places not too far behind. for most of us it's been a story of beautiful sunshine, patchy cloud in the west where it has been breezy and one or two rogue showers this afternoon but one or two across northern england and southern scotland and they will fade and overnight we look at clear, starry skies. at this time of year despite warmer days, the knights can still get quite cold and so it will be tonight with temperatures getting close to freezing and below in places, so a touch of frost or some and some fog patches across parts of south—east scotland and northern

england and especially through the vale of york but any fog should clear quickly and then it's another beautiful day with the wind is lighter than they have been today across western parts and possibly the odd shower if you squint at the map across eastern scotland and england and temperatures around where they have been, between 16 and 20 and may be 21 degrees and one or two places. for thursday, 20 and may be 21 degrees and one or two places. forthursday, england and wales will see more of the seine, sunny spells in a row shall add for northern ireland and scotland a bit more cloud, spots of rain in most places dry and between 15 and 19, may be 20 degrees. we will see the cloud lingering in northern parts as we had through friday and then that's expected to sink further south into the weekend, so perhaps a bit more cloud in the mix and a greater chance of seeing fog, but high pressure remains in charge, so through the weekend it stays mainly dry with spells of sunshine and a bit more in the way our cloud but next week a northerly wind is set to develop, a very different feel and there could even be some wintry showers. but that's a

long way off. that's all from the bbc news at six , so it's goodbye from me , and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

and ireland were looking at a bid for the 2030 world cup, before switching their focus to these european championships last month. patrick gearey reports. five nations, potentially 63 games and seemingly no competition. zero 2028 could be coming our way. unless someone else is waiting until stoppage time, a joint bid between the four uk associations and the football association of ireland will be the only folder on ua for�*s desk. it was only last month that they switch tactics. —— uefa. it it was only last month that they switch tactics. -- uefa. it would be a festival of — switch tactics. -- uefa. it would be a festival of football. _ switch tactics. -- uefa. it would be a festival of football. and - switch tactics. -- uefa. it would be a festival of football. and i - switch tactics. -- uefa. it would be a festival of football. and i think i a festival of football. and i think everybody involved would get behind it and it would be an amazing, again, it would be an amazing thing to see, i was maybe just too young to see, i was maybe just too young to experience that i'm going to the euros and 96, but every tournament is amazing when it is staged in one

of footballing rivalry behind them may have six years of working together. there might be a tournament to plan. patrick geary, bbc news. more now on this story from alex, joining us live now. there will be football fans around all of those members associations wondering how it might work for qualification and whether they might see their team there be. tell us how that well it worked out.— that well it worked out. there's never been _ that well it worked out. there's never been more _ that well it worked out. there's never been more than - that well it worked out. there's never been more than two - that well it worked out. there's i never been more than two teams that well it worked out. there's - never been more than two teams is automatically qualified. when it's been shared in the past, the two hosts have gone in automatically, but if we look at the euros last year when it was shared around those different countries, no one actually automatically qualified. teams had to qualify and then they had the option of the nations need to go through the playoffs as well. none of the five from the uk and ireland bid would automatically qualify, but, like you say, if the teams

increase from 2a to 32, the chances of getting into that tournament are a lot higher. of getting into that tournament are a lot higher-— of getting into that tournament are a lot hiaher. �* ~ ., , a lot higher. alex, we know there is an awful lot — a lot higher. alex, we know there is an awful lot of— a lot higher. alex, we know there is an awful lot of detail _ a lot higher. alex, we know there is an awful lot of detail on _ a lot higher. alex, we know there is an awful lot of detail on this - an awful lot of detail on this that we don't know yet, such a set out the timeframe for when we are likely to get more concrete information on this. 50 to get more concrete information on this. �* , , , ., ~ ., to get more concrete information on this. �* , ,, .,~ ., ., this. so i've been speaking to uefa about this today _ this. so i've been speaking to uefa about this today so _ this. so i've been speaking to uefa about this today so that _ this. so i've been speaking to uefa about this today so that the - about this today so that the deadline for expressions of interest, which is that phrase for these nations to put their bed and, and the announcements of who has expressed an interest are actually next week are being told that the reports are likely to be correct, but there is only one bed in town and that is the uk and ireland dead. in the announcement for the successful nations bed is in two weeks' time. it was mentioned that england might have to go through special hoops, it would be unlikely for them to host the tournament because of what happened at the euro 2020 final. it ua for president

actually said when there was rumours about them being involved in a bid for the world cup that that wouldn't be an issue and because it is a similar bed, his thoughts are expected to be the same and it shouldn't be a problem.- thank you very much for bringing us up thank you very much for bringing us up i'm sure that tournament will come around quicker than we expected. it's remarkable, isn't it, to think that the next world cup finals are nowjust eight months away. the choice of qatar has attracted a huge amount of controversy. the country has faced international scrutiny over the treatment of migrant workers ever since it won the rights in 2010. netherlands manager louis van gaal is part of a commission within the dutch fa which evaluates the ongoing situation in qatar with regards to human rights and is clear on why he thinks they were awarded the tournament. translation: everybody knows that i find this ridiculous. _ translation: everybody knows that i find this ridiculous. according - translation: everybody knows that i find this ridiculous. according to - find this ridiculous. according to fifa, they are going to play in a country to develop football there,

and you do that by organising a tournament in that country? well, that's nonsense. but that doesn't matter. it's about money, about commercial interest, and that is the only thing that fifa cares about. let's get an update on the chelsea ownership story now. we know the deadline for bids to buy the club is tomorrow, with the list of contenders then set to be whittled down to preferred bidders this week. today, the chelsea supporters' trust have urged the government to disregard any bid that does not include the issuing of a golden share for supporters. this would essentially give fans more represenation and power in the decision making of the club. and our sports reporter alastair magowan has been following this story for us. the chelsea support her trust has asked that basically the government to be tellers any bed that doesn't include a golden chair within it, and what that means is basically giving fans more of a say and how the club is run and they can stop the club is run and they can stop the sale of a club that might move

location, for example, or a change its club colours are christ. there has been a couple of beds that have been put in for chelsea that have mentioned this sort of thing. one of them is and it can become of the british property investor, he mentioned that he will include a golden chair, which will include fans, and he's made a bed of over £2 billion already, sir martin is the other, and he said he wanted to establish a best in class governance model with fans at the heart of the decision making, so those two are certainly in the running, as it were, in terms of putting the funds. where are we on the timescale and timeframe for all of these decisions to be made? 50 timeframe for all of these decisions to be made?— to be made? so the beds have all one in. to be made? so the beds have all gone in- the _ to be made? so the beds have all gone in. the next _ to be made? so the beds have all gone in. the next step _ to be made? so the beds have all gone in. the next step is - to be made? so the beds have all gone in. the next step is a - to be made? so the beds have all gone in. the next step is a short. gone in. the next step is a short list and we understand that will be about three or four different names that will then go forward. it will be a case of whether the final bidder is chosen from chelsea, but also the involvement the other thing

thatis also the involvement the other thing that is important in all of us is the government as well. they need to grant a licence for the saw to go through, ensuring that none of the funds, that's part of the deal when it comes to the sanctions as well, so they need to grant the licence, but the interesting thing will be who makes the final decision from chelsea and the chairman is very much involved, but there is a chance that he could pick the final person as well, because obviously he's handling it. the sanctions don't mean he can't decide who is the next owner of chelsea, and then politically it will be interesting to see how that plays out because obviously the starting point for all of us was inputting the club up for sale and the sanctions imposed by the government. so i think there's lots of issues to work there before we get to a point where we know who the next owner of chelsea is. we will continue to follow that story here. we're also following any developments on liverpool and manchester city's fa cup semifinal at wembley. that's because at the moment, engineering works mean there are no direct trains to london, from either city over easter weekend, when it's on.

the fa say that they are working to find a solution so that supporters of both teams are able to travel to and from the fixture with minimal disruption. in a joint statement liverpool's spirit of shankly group earlier our reporter austin halewood spoke to city fan harry winters. it's incredibly frustrating. there is a fine balance to be struck between the fact that there is a crisis in the sense that getting to wembley is a difficult now, and even more so if there is no trains available, but on the other side, you've got to make sure that the prestige of the fa cup, celebrating 150th anniversary of the competition this year, and it's an incredibly prestigious moment and the semifinal is an event which is a showpiece event and it's an an event which city back in 2011 was their first trip to wembley, and in that sense commits a memorandum moment which was incredible for me and said he fans. all fans deserve that, to have

that opportunity. you don't want to take that prestige and not —— away from it, but on the flip side, getting there is incredibly difficult for this game on this weekend. he like a change to be made to get to them easier, but on the flip side got to maybe look at look at moving it towards the northwest. the big stadiums here. england then themselves play games away from when now, so why do we need to play this game in the northwest at wembley four if there is a game that's going had at wembley anyway within chelsea, crystal palace, the sun can be played in the northwest. it's all about being sensible and caring for the fans, because this is an we can talk about so much, notjust the fans, because this is an we can talk about so much, not just for chelsea recently, but nearly a year on from the super league, in that sense, we always spoke about having more consideration looking after the fans and this is an example of that not happening. you mentioned the hope that it might move, but if the game does stay at wembley in the situation that we are currently in. lots of talk about this on twitter and social media,

all day, liverpooland this on twitter and social media, all day, liverpool and city fans, some of them suggesting that they might even boycott the game. could you see that happening? i might even boycott the game. could you see that happening?— you see that happening? i think that's unlikely _ you see that happening? i think that's unlikely considering - you see that happening? i think that's unlikely considering howl you see that happening? i think i that's unlikely considering how big the game is, notjust the fa cup semi final, but city and liverpool are two teams added in the premier league and in europe, potentially facing each other in the champions league final this summer. it's a game which has huge implications to it as well, city going for the travel. liverpool still searching to do that, so it is a massive game, particularly considering that they need just a few days before in the primarily, it seems as though you it's not a game you want to buy cat considering how big again it is, particularly when you think about the magnitude that pat guardiola has in the rivalry that has developed. that's just one of the stories that you can catch up on on today's addition setback of the football news show,

available on the bbc iplayer right now. it's a big week of european football in the women's game. with the champions league at the quarter final stage. bayern munich and paris saint—germain are in action right now in the first leg. real madrid kick off against holders barcelona at eight o'clock. arsenal play wolfsburg tomorrow. arsenal are the only english team remaining in the competition, thatis that is her 21st of the campaign. the club's leading goal scorer at the moment. she's continuing to do it, and later on at eight o'clock, we also have an all spanish affair. tomorrow, we are going to have arsenal and action because they are the english team remaining in the competition. they are going to host wealth spread, so looking ahead to that whom i spoke to the bbc sports reporter amory sanders. ——i spoke to bbc sport's emma sanders and we began with the all spanish affair later this evening — real madrid against holders barcelona. spoke to the bbc sports reporter amory sanders. they are the reigning champions. they are the reigning champions. they are the reigning champions. they are still the resounding favourites to end the season. it is how classical, but they did actually

have a derby match just earlier this month and thrashed them five now, so they will be hoping that they can put up a bit more of a fight this time around, but absolutely the favourites going into this round. aha, favourites going into this round. a great couple of days of competition across the women's champions league if we look to tomorrow, we have a leon who obviously are such a dominant force in women's football and have been for so many years. coming up against a given disdain were quite interesting. this team who was firmly at arsenal, they've been showing some real signs of progress and are looking the? been showing some real signs of progress and are looking they came from a tough _ progress and are looking they came from a tough group _ progress and are looking they came from a tough group to _ progress and are looking they came from a tough group to my _ progress and are looking they came from a tough group to my group i progress and are looking they came | from a tough group to my group that had chelsea and wolfsburg, so obviously chelsea got knocked out in the group event to set certainly earned themselves a bit of pedigree, but as you say, they are powerhouses, they wanted five times in a row before 2020, so they really know their stuff in the latter stages, so it will be a really, really big tie for them. we stages, so it will be a really, really big tie for them. we can hear from their manager _ really big tie for them. we can hear from their manager now. _ really big tie for them. we can hear from their manager now. we i really big tie for them. we can hear from their manager now. we knowl really big tie for them. we can hear. from their manager now. we know the mi . ht of from their manager now. we know the

of the other stories making the sports news today. rafa nadal faces a race against time to be fit for the french open which starts on 22 may. the spaniard will be out of action for between four and six weeks with a stress fracture of his rib. the australian open champ suffered the injury in his sentience wales semifinal defeat against carlos alcaraz. boris becker has been accused of "acting dishonestly" by failing to hand over trophies, including two wimbledon titles, to settle his debts, a court has heard. the six time former grand slam champion was declared bankrupt injune 2017 after borrowing 3.5 million pounds from a bank, the court heard. mr becker denies all charges. the trial is set to last up to three weeks. and european road race champion sonny colbrelli is "concious and ok" after needing a defribillator after collapsing at the volta a catalunya yesterday. the italian was taken to hospital in girona. his team — bahrain victorious — said colbrelli was continuing to have tests in hospital.

the president of world athletics, lord coe has issued a warning over the future of women's sport if sporting organisations get regulations for transgender athletes wrong. last weekend, american swimmer lia thomas became the first known transgender athlete to win the highest us national college title with victory in the women's 500—yard freestyle. she swam for the pennsylvania men's team for three seasons before starting hormone replacement therapy in spring 2019. i've been speaking to our correspondent alex capstick about this story. her name has been thrust into this long—running row, this debate over inclusion versus fairplay. critics arguing that trans— female athletes have gone through male puberty retained an unfair physical advantage which threatens the existence of female sports, and the

other side of the debates, people say that she has every right to participate, and that her success should be celebrated like everyone else inspired. should be celebrated like everyone else inspired-— else inspired. alex, we have had some time _ else inspired. alex, we have had some time and _ else inspired. alex, we have had some time and see _ else inspired. alex, we have had some time and see who - else inspired. alex, we have had some time and see who we i else inspired. alex, we have had| some time and see who we know else inspired. alex, we have had i some time and see who we know as else inspired. alex, we have had - some time and see who we know as the president of world athletics. what was he saying? he president of world athletics. what was he saying?— president of world athletics. what was he saying? he fought hard for the implementation _ was he saying? he fought hard for the implementation of _ was he saying? he fought hard for the implementation of rules i was he saying? he fought hard for the implementation of rules which require athletes with differences in sexual development to suppress their levels of testosterone for six months before they are allowed to compete. she refused to do that and said it was a violation of her human rights. the period for transgender athletes to suppress their levels of natural testosterone is 12 months, but each individual sports federation is allowed to come up with their own rules. the ioc has issued some broad principles, sebastian is convinced that testosterone is key to all of this, and he wants the ioc to come up with

some firm guidelines in order to protect the future of women's sports. as he says, these are his words, gender cannot trump biology. this issue, as you alluded to, it's not going anywhere, is it? it’s this issue, as you alluded to, it's not going anywhere, is it? it's not. peole not going anywhere, is it? it's not. people remember _ not going anywhere, is it? it's not. people remember the _ not going anywhere, is it? it's not. people remember the hubbub i not going anywhere, is it? it's not. people remember the hubbub at l not going anywhere, is it? it's not. i people remember the hubbub at the tokyo 0lympics last year and as with as time has come a criticism that her presence denied other female athletes a place in the competition. there is speculation that more cases are on the way, but right now, certainly at elite level, there aren't many examples of trans— female athletes, supporters of inclusion would tell you that women sport is not about to be overrun by transgender athletes. there are, as i said, there has been support for leah thomas and one of those supporters was erica sullivan who finished third in the 500 yard race.

she said she was proud to support leah thomas and she also wrote an article for newsweek that there are other issues such as sexual abuse, harassment, unequal pay, they are the real threats to them in not transgender athletes. fiur transgender athletes. our correspondent _ transgender athletes. our correspondent there. i transgenderathletes. 0ur correspondent there. now onto crickets. jason roy has been given a suspended two—match international ban and fined two and a half thousand pounds following an ecb disciplinary hearing details about the exact nature of roy's breach were not disclosed. the ecb said roy admitted to a charge of "conducting himself in a manner which may be prejudicial to the interests of cricket or which may bring the game of cricket, the ecb and himself into disrepute." meanwhile england's leading test wicket—takerjames anderson says he has "made peace" with being dropped for the west indies tour. the 39—year—old was left out of the squad for the current three—test series and says he's now focussing on the county championship.

when you start out of here, you know, how things are going and not being a part of that, this rebuild, whatever else, i guess it's a little bit tough, but generally, you know, i have made peace with the decision weeks ago. you know, it's completely out of my control. what i can do now is just get myself ready for the county season. as i said, those sorts of decisions, my england career, it seems out of my hands at the minute, so i've got to control what i can, and that is playing crickets, trying to work hard at my skills still, working hard in the gym, trying to get my body ready for the summer, trying to show people what i can do. ifeel like i'm in a good place, to be honest, physically and mentally as well, and i'm just looking forward to playing some crickets. ., ., �* , . crickets. over to women's cricket world cup _ in new zealand.

over to the women's cricket world cup in new zealand now, and australia made it six wins out of six by beating south africa in wellington. the aussie captain meg lanning scored a century as they chased down a target of 272 with 28 balls to spare. australia were already through to the semi finals, second place south africa still need one more win to get there. to india are third in the table after thrashing bangladesh in hamilton. india scored 229 from their 50 overs and bowled the bangladeshis out for just 119. when jockey rachael blackmore first took to the saddle, she only ever expected to compete as an amateur. but, seven years later she made history, by becoming the first female rider to win the coveted cheltenham gold cup. we caught up with her to find out what that victory meant. it's been an incredible 12 months, it really has. i felt that in cheltenham. i wasjust it really has. i felt that in cheltenham. i was just thinking to myself it's not even 12 months since

the grand national, ijust feel incredibly lucky. the way my horse quickened up after the last, he was just incredible, he was. i think i could have done anything on him in that race in the manner that he finished, but i suppose i dread them in the race last year and finished second, so i wanted to do something tactically a bit different, you know, to change it to come to see if that would work. heading down to the second, i didn't want to be outside in front of the horse, so i was kind of happy to sit and suffer and hopefully a gap would come and it's, yeah, you're probablyjust working on your instinct at the time, 50% of the time it doesn't work out, so you are lucky when it does. who trains about the horse that won last year and this year, and they were first and second again. in reverse order, luckily for me, this year. it's incredible to be writing for such a good trainer as well. it's just when

you cross the line you are just hit with so many different emotions you know commits such a special race, it was just a fantastic feeling. i've never been one to sit down and say i want to win x, y, and z everyjockey wants to win the big races and continue to do that. i don't said myself massive goals ijust try and keep going as best we can. myself massive goals i just try and keep going as best we can. amazing stuff from rachel _ keep going as best we can. amazing stuff from rachel blackmore. i'm i stuff from rachel blackmore. i'm sure there's plenty more history and record—breaking moments from her to come. paris angelman astilbe leading in the second half of that women's league champions league. you can find commentary on the bbc sports website. but for me and the rest of the team, had a lovely evening. goodbye. hello there. it's been a fine, dry, sunny day for most of us.
