paterson, bbc news. that brings us to the weather. drama in the skies. this picture sums it up today for that we have had sunny spells, dramatic landscapes and now it is all kicking off in northern ireland and north—west having that with thunder and lightning. a very big downpour, and lightning. a very big downpour, a lot of rain and not short space of time. i wouldn't be surprised if there was some flash flooding fault of the weather has been drifting in from the south, it is never really been called. here's the radio that shows us where it has been raining. and the lightning flashes, the lightning bolts are pretty self explanatory! let's have a look at the forecast for this evening. the thunderstorms will ramble away for a few more hours in some areas, rain in the north of scotland, not particularly thundery. by the end of the night, it will be relatively quiet, still a chance of some storms but i think many clear skies but mist and murk falling in places. not particularly cold, 7 to 12 celsius first thing on tuesday. have we any

wet weather in store for tomorrow? a weather front is approaching south—western parts of the british isles. through the morning into the afternoon the rain will become more extensive, you can see that expanding area of rain spreading northwards. to the east we are talking about bright weather at the very least, perhaps even sunny skies and turning quite hot for a time, just that one day in london at the 26 celsius so a very warm summary day. on tuesday evening, that raini talked about in the west will move further northwards into scotland, giving a wet end to tuesday. after that, the weather will continue to be very changeable, very volatile through the week. lots of sunny spells, you can see showers as well, very changeable picture for many towns and cities but staying i think on the warm side. thank you very much. that's all from the bbc�*s news at six, it's goodbye from me and on bbc we

hello and welcome to sportsday. the watershed moment for british footballers? the championship list says now is the right time to come out as gay. crunch final week in the premier league, the title race relegation fight and arsenal resumed their push for a top four finish. i! their push for a top four finish. 11 years after they dropped out, the stockport county are back we will hear from the manager. also coming up in the programme... after three hip operations, she finally concedes that she will not play again professionally. and we're going to speak to one of the

invincible is after the london lions completed the quadruple. the 17 euros as i am ready to be myself, be free and be confident with it all. the professional football association says they're proud of him in the feed is vital that we will promote an environment or people feel comfortable to be themselves and that football leads themselves and that football leads the way and removing any form of discrimination and prejudice. such a long time of lying and just processed and processed every day

just about how and when i want to do it and if he knows just the right time to do it i feel like i'm ready to help people and tell my story and i want people to know the real me and it has been a struggle but no, just to feel like i'm ready to be myself, be free and just be confident of the day or two of my sister, the day after, i scored four into shows how much weight off my shoulders it was.— into shows how much weight off my shoulders it was. presenting the bbc lgbt podcast- _ shoulders it was. presenting the bbc lgbt podcast. this _ shoulders it was. presenting the bbc lgbt podcast. this does _ shoulders it was. presenting the bbc lgbt podcast. this does feel - lgbt podcast. this does feel significant, especially when you look at the ridiculous period of time since the last active player in the uk to come out and i was just in. the uk to come out and i was 'ust in. �* , u, the uk to come out and i was 'ust in. �* , , , in. and feel significant because ou're in. and feel significant because you're absolutely _ in. and feel significant because you're absolutely right, - in. and feel significant because you're absolutely right, it - in. and feel significant because you're absolutely right, it is. i you're absolutely right, it is. everything about the people saying it's 2022 it is a footballer was playing in the championship and is gay, so what? what is the matter is

not good luck to him and let's move on? why is it newsworthy? three decades, this did not happen in british history for three decades, we did not have the sort of disability and it is a long road to get here and football has been changing in the uk we have seen lgbt supporters show up if seeing many share their stories and people come out at a non—league level people up and waiting for 17—year—old striker who, in all fairness many people may not even have heard about before five o'clock today to be that one, to take the responsibility and do such a momentous thing and it is extraordinary. he such a momentous thing and it is extraordinary-— such a momentous thing and it is extraordinary. he is a teenager at the very start _ extraordinary. he is a teenager at the very start of _ extraordinary. he is a teenager at the very start of his _ extraordinary. he is a teenager at the very start of his career- extraordinary. he is a teenager at the very start of his career and i extraordinary. he is a teenager at| the very start of his career and has a good 20 year career going forward.

eight months since _ confident about themselves. seven or eight months since we _ confident about themselves. seven or eight months since we spoke - confident about themselves. seven or eight months since we spoke about i eight months since we spoke about josh was the only current footballer in the world and professional league to come out and jake daniels mentioned tom daly is another inspiration about how he wants to be a role model. directly months and months again when we get to the start of this being the watershed, does this feel hugely important? it's the first male player in the uk and we cannot underestimate that. and football fans who have seen this from the lgbt community who have beenin from the lgbt community who have been in tears. this means a lot because they are seeing themselves reflected on a football pitch for the first time and they will be able to go to blackpool and watch on television and say, there is a gay man playing professionalfootball. man playing professional football. if man playing professionalfootball. if you can do that, why can't i do that? is for the knock on effects of this, you never know, you never know someone listening to this will feel i can tell my story tomorrow, you'll know whether they bake it away until

it in a few weeks' time, your end alone feel comfortable target but they feel happier and themselves and stop the thing i'm certain of that podcast is that the visibility breeds visibility. one man, jake daniels isn't going to solve homophobic chatting on the terraces, he's not going to change institutional issues that have existed for decades, but he has made an awful lot of people look at football and feel more welcome and included in more is if the beautiful game is a place for them. it is literally a game changing moment. we're into the last week of the premier league season and everything is still at stake from top to bottom and the race for champions league football is still a live issue as well. tottenham have got their noses ahead of arsenal at the moment, after wins against the gunners and burnley in the space of 3 days, but a top four finish

is still in arsenal's hands, they have a game in hand, that's tonight at newcastle. we'll get the latest from there in a moment but first here's the arsenal manager who has trust in his players. i'm lucky to have them and how they stand under difficulty and how much they're looking for to play on monday and how excited they are by the challenge ahead because we all know everything we've been through throughout the season and how much you had to fight to be in this position. and going to the situation, you learn a lot and more so than a victory and so, it is good to go through those moments sometimes. s it's great to finally have achieved the goal we sought out and they've given us everything. and everyone associated with the cloud of play their part in what is been a remarkable turnaround and form that

we needed. to stjames park then, an 8 o'clock kick—off and conor mcnamara is there with radio five live. this is been the first season since the mid—90s and of course, they want that to change next season and they want to be in the champions league. if left themselves a bit of work to do and we've got tonight and if it's sunday and arsenal might need to win them both. aha, sunday and arsenal might need to win them both. �* , ' . sunday and arsenal might need to win them both. . , ' . ., them both. a very difficult game cominu in them both. a very difficult game coming in tonight _ them both. a very difficult game coming in tonight at _ them both. a very difficult game coming in tonight at newcastle | them both. a very difficult game | coming in tonight at newcastle on the loss_ coming in tonight at newcastle on the loss to liverpool since the turn of the _ the loss to liverpool since the turn of the yeah — the loss to liverpool since the turn of the year. and everton were scrapping _ of the year. and everton were scrapping for their lives and at the emirates — scrapping for their lives and at the emirates and the fancy there but they have — emirates and the fancy there but they have left themselves a lot to do. . ., , ., ., ., they have left themselves a lot to do. ..,, ., ., ., ., , do. newcastle have done a lot but all the newcastle _ do. newcastle have done a lot but all the newcastle periods - do. newcastle have done a lot but all the newcastle periods want - do. newcastle have done a lot but all the newcastle periods want to | all the newcastle periods want to impress eddie howard be a part of whatever restructuring goes on in the summer and obviously brentford put up a good show and arsenal cannot rely newcastle doing them any favours. it’s

tomorrow, if they lose, then the title will be manchester city's with a game to spare. pep guardiola's side are 4 points clear at the top after coming from two—nil down to draw at west ham yesterday. if liverpool draw at saints then the title will surely be heading to city with their vastly superior goal difference. beat villa on sunday and the title is retained no—matter what. the liverpool manager says he doesn't expect city to slip up again, or is that klopp kidology. i don't know when city dropped points at the last time two games in a row, historically so i don't expect city to drop points but it has no influence on our game tomorrow. either way we go into the last match day are one point behind. it would be the perfect scenario from today's point of view and that's what we will try to do. everton are assisting merseyside police after brentford players ivan toney and rico henry claimed that their families

were racially abused at goodison park on sunday. they made the allegations on social media after the game that the bees won 3—2. everton say... it's the second leg of the championship play—off semi—final between huddersfield town and luton tonight. it's one—all after last week's first leg at kenilworth road. huddersfield are favourites to reach the final against either nottingham forest or sheffield united. but never write off luton, who were playing non—league football only 8 years ago. jonathan park is at thejohn smiths stadium. poised between his field in luton and the two teams played out at the road they scored first in a game with them taking it back in the first half and either the sites

featuring the playoff mix come the end of the season and frankly not many people, including fans of both sides, really. in the print leave just three years ago, theyjust, they were not on the team is eight years ago but bidding to become the first to play the premier league. there were the first division team but they got relegated the season before the premier league started and fans are travel here tonight really bullied by what it's been a remarkable season. they stand in the way and their manager has said that his into control their emotions because it will be a big cloud at the stadium tonight and says his players, the injury, he still has a few games in the tank. ready for tonight smash. the play at the nottingham forest at the playoff final in a couple weeks' time in that game is to— one in this game is

1-1 that game is to— one in this game is 1—1 and so to go all the way tonight, extra time and maybe even penalties comejust tonight, extra time and maybe even penalties come just have to wait and see. stockport county players have been parading the national league trophy in front of their fans today. they beat halifax yesetrday to secure the title and a return to the fooball league for the first time in 11 years. i spoke to their manager dave challinor. we spend most of the evening in the ground upstairs with friends and family and all the players and i know you went over and over the road, the sports back and forward, creating a chance to go up and not just with the cloud, goes through all the stretches that we go through ourselves and is supposed to say thank you and congratulations to everyone, really stop by the vendor an awful lot of the past decade and
