here is the story of today's around. here is the story of today's rainfall. very wet again across parts of north—east scotland, some showers in northern ireland and some heavy and thundery ones pushing into wales and south—west england, and this rain moving across the east of england overnight. the rain in north—east scotland will start to fizzle as the night goes on. it looks like the temperatures will be in low single figures in a few locations but most places looking at lows of six to 10 degrees. there's quite a bit of dry weather as we start the day tomorrow. in southern england some outbreaks of rain to clear away, as they will, and that is a day of sunny spells and showers. some of those may have a rumble of thunder and some gusty winds with some of these as well. tending to ease away from western areas later in the day. temperatures 12 in stornoway, 18 in london, for the most part 1a to 17, very close
6:31 pm
to average for the time of year. there are mainly dry and, look at the clouds gathering that will move in overnight into wednesday. that is from the next system moving away which has rain followed by sunny spells and showers, and with the isobars close together it will be blustery on wednesday so quite windy day. more wet weather to come for some on thursday. friday into the weekend, high pressure trying to settle things down. there will still be some showers around and high pressure doesn't necessarily translate into warmth. we will keep you updated on that. reeta. 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. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun.

6:33 pm
hello, and welcome to sportsday. manchester city fans are gathering in the city centre to celebrate the team's title—winning exploits on what really was one of the most dramatic final days of the premier league season in history. pep guardiola described his team as "legends" after their comeback win over aston villa, which came in five frantic second—half minutes at the etihad. agony and ecstasy for the fans, who are on the streets as we speak. our reporterjoe lynskey is among them. the fans soaking in the atmopshere for this parade now. how are they feeling after that dramatic turnaround yesterday? well, gavin we are fighting through the noise here at the point where this parade climaxes here in manchester city centre. the players are on their way to this point to parade that trophy to the supporters
6:34 pm
who have gathered here and perhaps address those supporters directly because this time yesterday, these fans were being put through it by their football time. about 2.5 miles east of where i'm stood now, city trailed 2— 02 to aston villa with their title hopes fading away before what is now being called the five—minute miracle, a flurry of goals, two of them from ilkay gundogan it, they're inspired substitute, took manchester city to this fourth title in five seasons and that late finish at the stadium is why the supporters are here today. but at many points, they might have feared this might not be possible. when they score the second for most of that_ when they score the second for most of that point, it reminded me of the sergio aguero moment we thought it was, as_ sergio aguero moment we thought it was, as difficult city fan, we were finished _ was, as difficult city fan, we were finished and did not think we were

6:36 pm
not very often a manager of his stature display such a motion on the touchline. but clearly it still means so much to this football club here in manchester, and there is the added poignancy this year of it being ten years on from that first premier league title they want in 2012 when inspired by sergio aguero, they call it the 9320 season when they call it the 9320 season when they won the league on 93 minutes and 20 seconds. that was in 2012. in 2022, they are part of this incredible rivalry with liverpool and pushed on so hard by their northwest rivals. it still means this is certainly worth celebrating for these supporters. speaking to a recent former player and asked him exactly what it still means to the community of this football club. it means everything because even though— it means everything because even though there is a lot of success over— though there is a lot of success over the — though there is a lot of success over the last ten years, there is

6:39 pm
chances he can convert with that creativity to my manchester city have now in midfield. the other question will be pep guardiola. he has one year left on his contract and there are questions about whether he will continue and beyond that, everybody here at this stage will of course want him to carry on in hisjob was of will of course want him to carry on in his job was of the records to need to tumble for pep guardiola and his side. it is his 11th trophy in six years in england and at this year's title six years in england and at this yea r�*s title moves six years in england and at this year's title moves him up to second place for premier league trophies won behind only sir alex ferguson. patrick gearey looks dealt with the club goes next. city at the top of still lifting. for the for time in five seasons, they are the champions of england but they were taken to the brink by liverpool and on the last day by aston villa but for the manager that only raises his team higher.-

6:41 pm
still eludes them with the season the team is played without an out and out stryker. midfielder kevin abroad it is a top score in the leaks and they have sorted that problem by buying erling haaland. only 21 and already one of the best in europe. the billions offer solutions to many problems and now to the economics mean we will get more the same? it to the economics mean we will get more the same?— to the economics mean we will get more the same? it does repeat year on ear more the same? it does repeat year on year because _ more the same? it does repeat year on year because they _ more the same? it does repeat year on year because they are _ more the same? it does repeat year on year because they are well- more the same? it does repeat year on year because they are well set i on year because they are well set and unless— on year because they are well set and unless something drastic- and unless something drastic changes, _ and unless something drastic changes, they— and unless something drastic changes, they will— and unless something drastic changes, they will continue l and unless something drastici changes, they will continue to and unless something drastic- changes, they will continue to be well set — changes, they will continue to be well set so — changes, they will continue to be well set so i _ changes, they will continue to be well set so i think— changes, they will continue to be well set so i think looking - changes, they will continue to be well set so i think looking at - changes, they will continue to be well set so i think looking at the i well set so i think looking at the numbers we _ well set so i think looking at the numbers we can see _ well set so i think looking at the numbers we can see them - well set so i think looking at the numbers we can see them but. well set so i think looking at the i numbers we can see them but we well set so i think looking at the - numbers we can see them but we know about the _ numbers we can see them but we know about the club— numbers we can see them but we know about the club moving _ numbers we can see them but we know about the club moving forward, - numbers we can see them but we know about the club moving forward, is - about the club moving forward, is certainly— about the club moving forward, is certainly a situation _ about the club moving forward, is certainly a situation where - about the club moving forward, is certainly a situation where they. certainly a situation where they could _ certainly a situation where they could win — certainly a situation where they could win obviously _ certainly a situation where they could win obviously another - certainly a situation where they| could win obviously another few league — could win obviously another few league titles _ could win obviously another few league titles in _ could win obviously another few league titles in the _ could win obviously another few league titles in the upcoming i league titles in the upcoming seasons _ league titles in the upcoming seasons. ., , ., seasons. some of the faces have chanced seasons. some of the faces have changed with _ seasons. some of the faces have changed with the _ seasons. some of the faces have changed with the colours - seasons. some of the faces have i changed with the colours remained, a premier league area shaded light blue. patrick gearey, bbc news. could be a fearsome front line. you mentioned pep guardiola just then and how much of that is there still?
6:42 pm
he is had to feel these questions yesterday in the press conference and he said all he wanted to think about was the president. to go and play golf, to go out to catalonia and see his wider family. play golf, to go out to catalonia and see his widerfamily. but play golf, to go out to catalonia and see his wider family. but there is of course that image of him at full time as we alluded to in that is what city fans will point to for this genuine love, this genuine passion for the city that pep guardiola has and his love for this football club as he looks to lead them to even more trophies and that elusive champions league title, which he is still yet to win with this club. he is also been your six years and that is longer than he has spent and any other managerialjob. he has absolutely the credentials to keep going at this job of chorus and supporters would know that and of course he has this rivalry across the northwest from liverpool and his
6:43 pm
managerial rivaljurgen klopp and one that will really keep him motivated you would think going forward. one of the great premier league rivalries and for city to come out on top this season is certainly one that these family —— fans here will see as being worth celebrating. fans here will see as being worth celebrating-— fans here will see as being worth celebratina. ~ , , . �* , celebrating. absolutely and i'm sure the will. celebrating. absolutely and i'm sure they will. thank _ celebrating. absolutely and i'm sure they will. thank you _ celebrating. absolutely and i'm sure they will. thank you very _ celebrating. absolutely and i'm sure they will. thank you very much - they will. thank you very much indeed and enjoy the parade, joe. so, city fans understandably basking in the glory still after that final day drama. for their rivals manchester united, it must be a bitter pill to swallow. united finished down in sixth and a massive 35 points behind. optimism, though, perhaps for them. their new manager, erik ten haag, has been speaking to the press for the first time as united boss today. i don't see it as a risk. i think this club has a great history, and now let's make a future. and i am really excited to do that with the
6:44 pm
people around at the club and brace and the people in in the staff and we will go analyse the squad and we will go day today. work hard, 100% committed and i'm sure we will get that success. we always bring in every club we think about what is in the club, what is in the spirit of the club, what is in the spirit of the club and that is what we want to know. but also that's why they appoint me as manager as i have to bring something in the club dynamic. in the top and we want to achieve top, you have to demand what we are willing to do. as i said, i'm still in the process of analysing with no set conclusions i'm looking forward to work with these players in the decision before the squad was second in the league, so huge potential, so
6:45 pm
i think if we improve, if we work with them, i think we can get out more as we should from the season. for more on the end of the premier league season with reflections on that dramatic day for city as well as the relegation drama with leeds staying up, check out today's special football news show on the iplayer. kylian mbappe said he was planning tojoin a real madrid but kylian mbappe said he was planning to join a real madrid but the call of home has kept them with the french club pst until 2025. he is been speaking. last week, the decision to stay. i say first of all to the president of real madrid from paris because a lot of respect for him after the club,
6:46 pm

players but emma raducanu hasjust taken it now so we are heading into a decider there. so emma raducanu trying to make round two at the french open. finally another twist to what's proving to be an unpredictable season in formula 1. max verstappen, the current world champion, is back on top of the driver's championship after victory in the spanish grand prix yesterday. but could we be seeing some green shoots of recovery for mercedes after what's been an underwhelming start for them? lewis hamilton fought back up to fifth, and team—mate george russell was on the podium. let's get some more on this with f1 journalist inge stracke. how crucial was this victory for verstappen, and what does it mean for the title race? i think it was very important. it got him into the lead of the driver popped much cheaper ship and got his team into the lead of the constructor seamanship in the first on the season so it was quite important but you could almost call it poeticjustice because in melbourne and bahrain, max verstappen did not finish due to
