6:31 pm
through this evening and tonight. rain for northern ireland, parts of scotland and pushing south—eastwards across england and wales and some snow developing over the high ground in scotland and with that, the risk of some ice. it will be quite a chilly night in the far north of scotland but further south, and extremely mild one, ten or 11 in southern parts of england and wales. tomorrow, band of patchy rain and cloud across the south were clear. another band of cloud and patchy rain across northern ireland and northern england. but in between and up northern england. but in between and up towards the north we will see some good spells of sunshine. it will be another mild day, 15 degrees at norwich. a little more chilly in the northern parts of scotland. so still some patchy rain in southern scotland, may be north—east england as we go through saturday evening. essentially, saturday night with this ridge of high pressure is a window of mainly fine weather. but then there is another weather system heading our way for sunday. that will bring rain, particularly across parts of scotland. some patchy rain may be in northern ireland, northern
6:32 pm
england, but further south, aside from some high cloud which could turn the sunshine hazy at times, a decent —looking day. it will be breezy, in fact quite windy towards the north but a very mild day for the north but a very mild day for the time of year, highs of 10—13. thank you. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm olly foster. will anyone buy manchester united? the clocks ticking, we are 3.5 hours away from the deadline for investors. england have the edge in new zealand thanks to four wickets for ollie robinson. england's women have a perfect record in south africa at the t20 world cup. we are with the squad ahead of their opener against india.

6:34 pm
to a sale. our sports correspondent andy swiss is here with me. even andy swiss is here with me. andy. i'm not sure wh waiting even andy. i'm not sure what we're waiting for. is it white smoke or a bugler to come up to at old trafford? any indication that any investors have come forward? it’s a investors have come forward? it's a aood investors have come forward? it's a good question- _ investors have come forward? it's a good question. there _ investors have come forward? it's a good question. there has _ investors have come forward? it�*s —. good question. there has been lots of speculation swirling around old trafford in recent weeks. as things stand, there is still only one person who has publicly said he is bidding. that is certainjim ratcliff who is the owner of the truck chemical country. he is one of britain's richest man. he is involved in other sports like formula 1 and cycling. we know about him and we are expecting a bit dramatic cuts qatar based consortium. qatar is becoming influential in world football having just hosted the world cup. qatar might have a view complications
6:35 pm
because the state owned, qatari sports investment group on paris century man who united could potentially face in europe. under ua for rules, to close with the same owner can't play in the same competition. our courts would have to prove there is no conflict of interest with that. there will be conflicts or concerns raised about qatar as human rights record which we heard about during the recent world cup. other pigs could emerge such as us bids or a bid from saudi arabia but the prospect of a qatari bid is getting a lot of attention. at, bid is getting a lot of attention. a saudi bid i am sure would have a list of inclinations with newcastle united ownership but will cross that when we get to it or if we get to it. we have the soft deadline of 10pm tonight. we know the grazers have valued the globe at around 6
6:36 pm
billion. that seems an awful lot but it has a global repetition repetition. a lot more than what chelsea went.— repetition. a lot more than what chelsea went. , . ., . ,., chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2.5 billion. chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2-5 billion- it — chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2.5 billion. it could _ chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2.5 billion. it could be _ chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2.5 billion. it could be the _ chelsea went. chelsea went for about 2.5 billion. it could be the most - 2.5 billion. it could be the most expensive takeover in sports and history. whoever buys the club would have to spend a couple of billion sorting out the trade—in stadium and other areas that need work. they would have to have deep pockets. as you mentioned, tonight, 10pm is this deadline, as you say, a soft deadline, as you say, a soft deadline which is wiggle room for potential bidders to come in over the next days or weeks. i believe this is the first stage of the process. you mentioned that chelsea takeover last year. they had to get that through quickly because of the situation russia. there isn't the same time imperative with manchester united but i think if i take does go through, if they want a sales to go
6:37 pm
through, if they want a sales to go through, there is a confidence that it has happened before the end of the season. it has happened before the end of the season-— i spoke to united fan natalie burrell, a regular contributor to the bbc podcast devils' advocateabout what she would like to see from a new owner at the club. the perfect owner would be someone who is committed to the football club. once it invests not only in the first theme but, i think, the economy and the women's team. the stadium, around the around the club. the manchester united foundation. i think we've had a lot of money put into the first theme but it's not always done correctly. someone needs to come in and have the proper football structure, but also have a structure to run this club the way it used to be. notjust taking money and doing it for their own gain. we know football is a business but, you know, your business know it works
6:38 pm
best when you invest in what you got. i want a less of investment into the football club and someone who cares for the best of this football club and not just themselves. football club and notjust themselves. the training ground isn't up to standard. we know other teams have passed us in that respect. we need to be invested in the best facilities, notjust the first theme but all the teams. i think if you're under 12 say you're doing well, then you know your first theme would be doing well. it is going back to that and looking after the whole football club. [30 going back to that and looking after the whole football club.— going back to that and looking after the whole football club. do you care who the owners _ the whole football club. do you care who the owners art _ the whole football club. do you care who the owners art when _ the whole football club. do you care who the owners art when it - the whole football club. do you care who the owners art when it comes l the whole football club. do you care | who the owners art when it comes to what they represent, perhaps question mark because we have had rainbow devils, the clothes as you beat you to post group saying they have a reservation should the group from qatar or saudi arabia come through. we from qatar or saudi arabia come throu~h. ~ . i. ., through. we want everyone to feel comfortable _ through. we want everyone to feel comfortable no _ through. we want everyone to feel comfortable no matter _ through. we want everyone to feel comfortable no matter what, - through. we want everyone to feel comfortable no matter what, so i through. we want everyone to feel comfortable no matter what, so toj through. we want everyone to feel- comfortable no matter what, so to me it doesn't matter if it's qatar or
6:39 pm
saudl it doesn't matter if it's qatar or saudi, then yet people with rightly raise these concerns and it's right that people listen to the rainbow derek devils and hear their concerns. it's right if they address those concerns if it saudi are qatari and notjust take loads of money. we need to look into everything, really, for the owner. and manchester united fund there. we are waiting to see if any investors come forward are they will make themselves by public by tomorrow night. we'll see if the title race takes another twist tomorrow. manchester city are ahead of arsenal on goal difference after beating them on wednesday night. city are at nottingham forest and arsenal have a lunchtime kick—off at aston villa, the gunner's manager has criticised the tight schedule they have some roads with champions league who plays on wednesday night and you cannot play and i think they
6:40 pm
should apply to any competition. following the same principle i think physiologically it is difficult to turn around on that. and get the best outcome and reduce the injury risk for players. a man who attacked the arsenal goalkeeper aaron ramsdale following full—time in the north london has been given a four year football banning order ramsdale was kicked in the back after arsenal beat spurs 2—0 in the premier league match on 15january. 35—year—old joseph watts appeared at uxbridge magistrates' court where he pleaded guilty to assault by beating. he has also been ordered to pay £100 in compensation to ramsdale and carry out 150 hours of unpaid work. from this weekend, the football association are going to trial the use of referee body cams in what is a world—first for the sport. the trial begins at grass roots level in middlesbrough and will be rolled out across three other amateur senior leagues across england over the rest of the season. it's being introduced as a measure to try and reduce abuse aimed at officials.
6:41 pm
body cams have been used in rugby union for over a decade and the decision to trial them in football follows a bbc survey which revealed almost 98% of the referees who responded had experienced verbal abuse from spectators, players, or coaches. a survivor of historical child sexual abuse at the hands of her former trampoline coach is demanding british gymnastics pay her back the cost of decades of therapy, after "catastrophic failures" in what she calls the biggest case of sexual abuse in the governing body's history. it comes after last year's independent whyte review found systemic abuse within the sport. our sports correspondent natalie pirks spoke to me earlier and described some details you might find distressing. emma whose voice a name we have change told the bbc she was raped and abuse from the age of five till she was 12 on at the olga jim on
6:42 pm
england's south coast. the gym was run by brian phelps. he sets up in the mid to late 70s. he was a british diver who run bronze at the olympic games in 1960. he was revered at the time he won gold at the commonwealth game, then next to commonwealth games as well. there used to be a basement in this gym which was decorated with disney characters and that is where emma said the majority of the abuse took place. we went through horrific things. every element of the worst that can happen to a little girl when they're in the hands of a paedophile. i didn't know anyone else was receiving the same treatment that i was there. i didn't discover until an evening in 2008. — when his face appeared on the evening news.
6:43 pm
until 2008, where he was finally jailed for nine years, serving six for his crimes. brian phelps told this court that he was a bit of a sex addict, but that none of his victims, aged between just six and 15, had ever said no or told him to stop. emma says she knows of 15 survivors of phelps' abuse, but believes there could be more. now with the help of lawyers, she's demanding british gymnastics pay her back for therapy and fund a centre to help abuse survivors. her magistrate said there is no case to answer after phelps was charge for exposing himself to a child at the swim pool. he moved to the south coast and set up these dreams with his wife. emma disclose her abuse to police in the early 90s. in the late 90s someone else came forward, that went nowhere. in 2003, the three women involved in that case, it did
6:44 pm
come forward in 2004, a year later it took british gymnastics to suspend them. it was another four years after that he was jailed. what years after that he was “ailed. what resonse years after that he was “ailed. what roespnse have h years after that he was “ailed. what response have you _ years after that he was “ailed. what response have you had _ years after that he was jailed. what response have you had to your report and your interview with emma? brian phelps, who lives with his wife in france, has also denied all allegations in this report and told the bbc he never even entered the basement. he added that in 2008, when he dived from fame as a sportsman to infamy, the child protection team looked for victims who'd slipped through the net with zero response. now with the help of lawyers, she's demanding british gymnastics pay her back for therapy and fund a centre to help abuse survivors. it's about redirecting the shame — the deep, deep shame that exists in ourselves and redirecting that back to where it belongs, which is everyone who was complicit in all of the things that happened to us. british gymnastics told the bbc it is truly sorry for any abuse
6:45 pm
that has taken place in the sport and said emma has received extensive one to one support from its safeguarding team. it added... this is the latest in a long line of stories we have covered about british gymnastics in the last three years. it comes after an independent review into the sport found there was systemic abuse in addition gymnastics. natalie pirks there. if you or anyone else you know has been affected by any of the issues in that report, help and support is available online at bbc action line england still have their noses
6:46 pm
in front in the first test against new zealand. it's certainly not going to last five days they bowled new zealand out for 306 and closed day two on 79—2 in their second innings, that's a lead of 98 runs. patrick gearey reports. between the bay over those gentle grassy slopes, england were digging in new zealand a hold. near the wegner tempted into a bad shot and darrell mitchell confused into not playing one. and good were well on top and more than 200 ahead. every key we run had to be hard to work for. there were english chaps everywhere and fell into chaps. a strategy that has transformed the experience of watching england. whatever the scene or score they will attack. ollie rockers and put

6:57 pm
sub that's all from the sub sportsday. that's all from the sportsday. good evening. friday certainly shaped up to be a tale of two halves. we started the day on a stormy note. otto whipped up the seas across scotland and northern england, as you can see quite clearly from the weather watcher picture. and there were homes without power across eastern scotland with gusts of winds recorded in excess of 80 miles an hour. and even through northern england, as you can see in lismore, we had 75 mile an hour gusts of winds in the morning. the winds have been easing down throughout the day and in actual fact, as the storm pulled away during the morning, we've had some lovely sunny spells coming through, blustery through the afternoon, but not too bad there's some rain to come through this evening and overnight heavy across northern ireland, pushing snow to the highlands of scotland before it drifts away, icy stretches likely.
6:58 pm
and then this trailing weather front across southern england, well, that could bring cloud and drizzle first thing that will gradually ease away in sunshine come through. still the risk, perhaps through northern ireland and maybe southern fringes of scotland have a few showers through the day, brighter but crisper further north. highs of seven to nine degrees, very mild indeed. 14 or 15, maybe 16 celsius, perhaps with the best of the sunshine. now, the high pressure stays with us for the second half of the weekend, but toppling across the high of these weather front. so a little bit more of a breeze into the far northwest and some showery outbreaks of rain through scotland now certainly more cloud through northern england and northern ireland, but the vast majority of england and wales will be dry, settled and sunny and with lighter winds around as well. on sunday, top temperatures between ten and 13 degrees moving out of sunday into monday. we keep that high pressure with us. things still relatively calm and because of the wind direction coming from a south—westerly, still that milder air source driving in across the country.
6:59 pm
but at this time of year, a south—westerly wind can often bring with it quite a lot of cloud and some poor visibility. so, yes, temperatures will be up for this time of year, but we will see quite a lot of low gray cloud, misty, murky, damp on exposed coast outbreaks of showery rain into scotland, the best of the sunshine, perhaps across central and southeast england, 16 celsius is 61 fahrenheit. similar story as we go into tuesday, but from wednesday onwards, low pressure might bring some showers or longer spells of rain and it will be fresher for all.
