dame mary has personally funded a drone survey of sanda island off the mull of kintyre — one location where she believes bodies could be buried. and that's precisely on the location where the eyewitness identified? it is, it is. along with local historian graham, she says the results are worthy of further investigation. the characteristics of this scan are associated with a burial and perhaps with a mass burial. this weekend, relatives of those who died when hms dasher sank gathered in ardrossan. 80 years on, they still feel they want answers. i was four when dad was killed. and it's been a bit of a mystery ever since. it has, yes. the royal navy said the creation of a mass unmarked grave would run counter to admiralty policy on the burial of wartime casualties, but mary says
6:31 pm
she won't stop asking questions. well, it makes me very sad, and 80 years is a long time, and by the time 100 years comes, i won't be here, so i've got a limited time to find these men. dame mary richardson finishing that report from hugh pym. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. hello. most of us had a decent day of weather. there was plenty of sunshine around, light winds and sunny skies. this fine weather was down to an area of high pressure, here it is. we reckon this is the first one we've had for over three weeks, and it is already set to push off. looking at tomorrow, we are already back to the unsettled theme with more rain on the way. there are already places in the uk that have seen well over double the average rainfall this month and there is loads more to come over the next few
6:32 pm
days, so a change back to unsettled weather conditions i'm afraid. overnight tonight, although we start with clear skies and dry weather, as we go through the night this rain band moves in off the atlantic with the wind picking up, and eventually it gets into wales, western england and western scotland. it will lift temperatures towards the end of the night, whereas across eastern parts of scotland and england, a few areas of scotland and england, a few areas of frost to start the day tomorrow. a bright start across the north—east, but otherwise outbreaks of rain spreading it from the south—west. the weather does turn brighter, a mixture of heavy showers with brighter condition spreading into western areas through the day across western wales and england. milder, above average for the time of year but otherwise still a little on the chilly side. on wednesday we have the south—westerly winds spreading milder air in off the atlantic, but it is going to be quite an unsubtle day. the best of the weather in the morning across eastern areas with some sunshine, and in the west we start to see thundery downpours working on, some
6:33 pm
of them quite lively with the winds are strengthening, but look at the temperatures, we are looking at highs of 15 or 16 celsius, but after a dry day it feels disappointing with a return to rain. thanks chris. goodbye, now it's time to get the news and weather where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. who's to follow in the footsteps of antonio conte? as the search for a new man in charge of spurs begins, but will it work out this time? it's all to play for in the wsl as manchester city blow the title race wide open, after a cracking weekend in the womens super league. and gb's para—swimming squad — as they gear up for this summer's worlds, we'll be chatting to champion ellie challis on their hopes.
6:34 pm
hello there and welcome along to the programme. the questions over what next for tottenham hotspur continue to mount today after the club parted ways with antonio conte by mutual consent. it follows conte�*s extraordinary outburst, after their draw with southampton this month, where he called out the players, and the club's hierarchy, for their lack of fight, and ulitmately lack of success. cristian stellini, with ryan mason as deputy will take charge till the end of the season. joe wilson reports. football managers come and go but no one has played his farewell scene quite like him. what turned out to be his last media conference, he aimed to blame at practically everyone. i see selfish players,
6:35 pm
i see players that don't want to help each other. they don't want to play under pressure, they don't want to play under stress, it is easy this way. totte n ha m tottenham has this. 20 years, there is the honour and they never won something. but why? only, the fault is only for the club or for every manager that stayed here and i have seen the manager that tottenham had. well, don't overlook the 2008 the cup. that was something. marcio pochettino took spurs took the lead in 2019. but he was replaced byjose mourinho. mason was an interim manager and he is still at the club. all these managers have had harry kane, even he can't win matches alone. overseeing everything has been
6:36 pm
tottenham's chairman and sometimes in the eyes of supporters, the main problem. what we want to see from the club is a clear sense of direction, a clear strategy. we want to know whether club is moving forward, we want to see attractive football on the pitch and a clear commitment to building the club and competing for trophies. antonio conte came to spurs with an excellent reputation. he often displayed frustration. recall his handshake the became an arm wrestle. yet the maquis was not happy with the transfer window, he wasn't happy with the transfer window. probably didn't get the players he wanted or whatever. but they move on again and will be looking for another manager at the end of the season. they built a stadium worthy of champions. the structure is inspiring that the club's culture, if you believe the last manager, is billed to fail. believe the last manager, is billed to fail. so the search is on for another managerfor spurs — who are still 11th in the premier league, but a seemingly
6:37 pm
unhappy ship in north london. our reporter patrick gearey joins me in the studio. who are the main candidates in the running to replace conte? antonio conte has posted the football is passion. he says, i would like to deeply thank everyone at spurs who appreciated and shared my passion and intense way of living football as a coach. he also thanked the spurs fans and said it's been unforgettable to hear them singing my name. he said goes on to say our journey with us is ended i wish all the best the future. who are the names to replace and? short—term christian cellini, that is himself is very unusual he is conte is left—handed. attic was expected he would leave the club with him. he did take charge earlier when conte had to step away for medical reasons and had some success. spurs beat manchester city and chelsea in that period. those two will take spurs to the entrances and for the petard will be to finish in the top four. they have a big decision to make. a
6:38 pm
bbc sport poll found two big favourites for one is a romantic, mauricio pochettino, the former manager, took spurs to a champions league final. he still loved by many of the club fans copy is a connection with tottenham and still has a home in the area. he has spoken about wanted to come back to spurs sometime in the future and doesn't currently have a club. he is only 35, he is onlyjust left buyer in munich but has a reputation as being a tactically innovative coach who plays attacking football. that would appeal to daniel levy who spoken about spurs dna be all about that. whether it's other people, you can look at the embossed who is so impressed the season with football being played down on the south. the frankfurt bosses turned a really well—functioning premier league size for that is spurs want to completely change the way they play they could get henrique who was in charge of spain or barcelona other names could come into the frame. what spurs fans
6:39 pm
will be worry about is the summer of 2021 when they search for a manager for 72 days, the candidates came and went, they ended up with espiritu santo less went, they ended up with espiritu sa nto less than went, they ended up with espiritu santo less than five months later he was sacked. i santo less than five months later he was sacked-— was sacked. i remember that very well. was sacked. i remember that very well- thank _ was sacked. i remember that very well. thank you. _ let's have a quick look at some of the other football stories making the headlines today. fulham manager marco silva has been charged with misconduct for comments he made following his side's fa cup defeat at manchester united. the fa alleges silva's post—match comments "constitute improper conduct in that they imply bias and/or question the integrity of the match official, and/or bring the game into disrepute". newcastle united will trial safe standing at st james' park from the start of next season following a survey that saw 75% of the clubs fans in favour of it. premier league clubs were allowed to introduce licensed standing areas from the start of the current season. fifa president gianni infantino has announced a new agreed international match calendar from 2025. this will include an expanded 32 team club world cup and an annual

match between the champions league winner and the winner of an intercontinental playoff. to some international football then becuase both wales and scotland are in euro 2024 qualifying action tomorrow. wales are taking on latvia in cardiff. no wonder they are in a good mood... their campaign after a great start thanks to this man, nathan broadhead. early on his debut according to the captain, adam ramsey says the new players are showing they are ready to make their mark after some high—profile retirements. mark after some high-profile retirements.— mark after some high-profile retirements. , . , ., retirements. they are hungry for the -la ers retirements. they are hungry for the players come — retirements. they are hungry for the players come and — retirements. they are hungry for the players come and now— retirements. they are hungry for the players come and now make - retirements. they are hungry for the players come and now make own - players come and now make own history. from night to come in and get a winner in the last minute was brilliant. these moments are what we live for and you could see that with the celebrations with the fans at the celebrations with the fans at

6:42 pm
taking on spain at hamden. manager steve clarke has urged them to be "patient without the ball" and "very positive". his side beat cyrpus on saturday, while spain opened their euro 2024 qualifying with victory over norway. i get every game thinking of you to win. i done that since i was 17 foot of every single game. i don't think you can be professional if you think you can be professional if you think you gonna lose. we approach the game, we know we have to be disciplined, we have to be organised, we have to play very well. spain probably have to slightly underperform. if that happens and we can get a positive result, i don't see any other way of looking at a comic to be honest with what we have to be ready to out probably that we had at the weekend and dominate position. i think it will be different in this game but it's important for that we want to be competitive that promotion so we know where going to come up against
6:43 pm
three quality teams. we take in england as a family. we're trying to push the players to get better. the more you play against top—quality opposition the better you should get. we showed in the past that we're capable of getting results against good teams. that's what we have to do again tomorrow night. that's what we have to do again tomorrow night. so, while there's been no premier league or championship action recently — there was plenty of drama in the wsl, on womens football weekend and a real title race brewing. manchester city's 2—0 win against chelsea yesterday saw them leapfrog their opponents in to second — who having lost their first league game since the start of the season, are now down to third. it means the top four are separated byjust three points. huge relief, huge confidence. we felt the same when we beat arsenal. it gives you real confidence and momentum to go on and achieve big things. chelsea are still in the front seat, they are a good team, they know how to win. this is a good day for us but we got begin coming up day for us but we got begin coming up again next week.

i'm not here and say a negative word about _ i'm not here and say a negative word about my _ i'm not here and say a negative word about my players, i love them. i know _ about my players, i love them. i know how — about my players, i love them. i know how hard they pushed in the second _ know how hard they pushed in the second half. ithink know how hard they pushed in the second half. i think this isjust one game _ second half. i think this isjust one game too many for us. it's so hard — one game too many for us. it's so hard to— one game too many for us. it's so hard to win — one game too many for us. it's so hard to win a — one game too many for us. it's so hard to win a league when you're in and in all— hard to win a league when you're in and in all competitions and a game every— and in all competitions and a game every three — and in all competitions and a game every three days. i think today's performance reflected that. so it is delicately poised. with arsenal and manchester united still very much in the race. just how vital was that win for manchester city? our women's sport reporter isjo currie. manchester city boss garrett taylor said they would certainly be out of the title race that might make kevin's leg football difficult as well. they didn'tjust win it, they did it in some style. now the questions over chelsea because they've been on his great run the season but they have to been battling on four fronts. season but they have to been battling on fourfronts. they season but they have to been battling on four fronts. they lost the lead come final and heading into this game again city they've been playing in the champions league
6:45 pm
midweek. there picking up a few injuries along the way, they've only lost the likes of harter and kirby. the last bright midweek and in the game yesterday and hobbled off as well. it could be very exciting to see what happens at the top of this table because at the moment you can't tell which way it's going to go. i expect it will go all the way to the end of the season. manchester united, a big win for that man arsenal hammering spurs 5—1, united put in for mac pass was sampled up i was in gulf between the top teams in the division and the rascal met absolutely. the division and the rascal met absolutely-— absolutely. for so many years there's been _ absolutely. for so many years there's been a _ absolutely. for so many years there's been a top _ absolutely. for so many years there's been a top three - absolutely. for so many years there's been a top three in . absolutely. for so many years - there's been a top three in women super league of chelsea, arsenal, manchester city put up manchester united this year are really putting themselves for them until recently they actually had been top of the women super league. going forward, you can't tell which way it's going to go. these are the teams who have the biggest budgets. but when you look at the table, manchester united and manchester city are sitting first and second foot them is actually the teams in third and
6:46 pm
fourth, chelsea and arsenal who technically still have their destiny in their own hands in terms of this title race because they both have a game in hand. arsenal still need to play. i think it's the top four again. manchester city and manchester united or second, they can win in theory, all their games remain and still not win the title. title. it's wonderful to the league, we have a top four in aston villa and fifth, art that far off but won't be trending for the title of the season. this league is certainly getting the season. this lea-ue is certainly the season. this league is certainly getting the season. this league is certainly --ettin more competitive. getting more competitive. interesting times without looking at the battle of the bottom as well. there's really not match in it as well. any bottom six could get sucked into a fight for survival. who's looking most vulnerable on that front? similarly to the title race, the rays to not get relegated will go to the end of the season will go to the end of the race, the rays to not get relegated will go to the end of the season as well. only one team goes down from the women super league currently the team and relegation spot is leicester city. they've only got
6:47 pm
seven points, which is pretty woeful considering the fact they played 16 games this season. the teams above them are doing much better. brighton is the team and 11, they've only got nine points, reading place one above them. spurs were 12. this is very tight at the bottom. we've seen the likes of brighton and tottenham sacked their managers in a desperate attempt to try and pull their teams to safety. there is a golf at the top of the league. there is a whole load of teams underneath that could still get sucked into that relegation battle. a little bit later in the programme... we'll hear from the only woman in charge of a men's english football league academy on the future of women in the mens game. former scotland rugby union captain stuart hogg has announced he's retiring from international rugby after the world cup in france this autumn. hogg, who's scotland's record try scorer recently won his 100th cap, in a career spanning over a decade, that has seen him part of three
6:48 pm
british and irish lions tours. he made his international debut back in 2012 in the six nations — and the exeter player is hoping to be involved in a third world cup for his country in september. hogg released a statement earlier saying his career has been a privilege but. meanwhile, ireland captain johnny sexton looks likely to miss the rest of this season with injury. he was hurt during the closing stages of ireland's six nations title and grand slam—clinching victory over england in dublin nine days ago. the 37—year—old will undergo a procedure on the groin injury tomorrow, but is likely to miss the remainder of the season for club side leinster. four members of cricket scotland's equality and anti—racism working group have resigned over what they see as a lack
6:49 pm
of progress in tackling racism. the four walked out in protest, after chairman anjan luthra said last week that progress was being made. that's a claim rejected by anti—racism campaign group, running out racism. our correspondent chris mclaughlin has been following these latest developments. a very tricky week after what has been a very tricky year for cricket scotland. they thought they were making straight toward tackling the racism problem for the pet independent report last year finding four hundred and 48 separate instances of racism. the board completely gone, the new board game in —— completely gone, the new board game in -- 548. completely gone, the new board game in —— 548. the recommendations of the report was to sort out the governance around antiracism practices with a one of the groups that were set up, four of those members redesigned after the new
6:50 pm
chairman said that great progress had been made in tackling racism. they did not agree, including the four resigned is the current international player mac stood. clearly an issue for cricket scotland. no word from them today. this is a crisis on top of what has been a crisis already. the funding bodies sport scotland who have taken scotland under special measures at the moment say they respect the decisions of those that of step down and urging talks with cricket scotland. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today... english golfer georgia hall fell just short in winning her first lpga title in over two and a half years. she was beaten in a play off by france's celine boutier at the drive on championship in arizona. it's boutier�*s first lpga win since january 2021. bangladesh beat ireland in a rain—affected first of three t20 internationals
6:51 pm
between the sides. rony talukdar struck a career—best 67 from 38 balls as the hosts made 207 for 5 before rain ended their innings. when play resumed ireland struggled to reach a target of 104 off eight overs, falling 23 runs short. and somerset have signed australian batter cameron bancroft for the first four fixtures of the upcoming county championship season. he was the leading run—scorer in this year's sheffield shield with 945 and hit the winning boundary in the final for western australia. not long to wait now for the para swimming world championships in manchester, which start this summer. the british team was selected today with plenty of experience in the ranks, including breastroke world champion ellie challis, who told me the team have high hopes of topping the medal table on home soil following their success last year in madeira.

i think we're definitely an improving team. we lost a lot of swimmers over the years. we've got a younger team that we normally have. but it should be good. it means there's a lot of progression for the whole team. pym; there's a lot of progression for the whole team-— there's a lot of progression for the whole team. any championships or unfamiliar territory _ whole team. any championships or unfamiliar territory for _ whole team. any championships or unfamiliar territory for you - whole team. any championships or unfamiliar territory for you being i unfamiliar territory for you being in manchester, your home base, how you feeling about that? alter? in manchester, your home base, how you feeling about that?— you feeling about that? very excited for them it makes _ you feeling about that? very excited for them it makes everything - you feeling about that? very excited j for them it makes everything easier, to be honest with you because i know i am, i know the water, the pool, i know what i'm doing, i've been to the pool every day. i swim in it all the pool every day. i swim in it all the time. it the pool every day. i swim in it all the time. , , the time. it definitely gives me an advantage- _ the time. it definitely gives me an advantage. with _ the time. it definitely gives me an advantage. with the _ the time. it definitely gives me an l advantage. with the championships coming the year after the delayed ones in madeira, is there anything you've done in your training that has altered? it's a bit of a turnaround, a year rather than two. yes. we normally have a bit longer but i quite enjoyed it. i've got a

6:55 pm
she's been talking to alistair durden. yes! well done! you have a responsibility to open the doors for others. if you don't see it you are probably not going to be it. i hope it encourages more females to come into coaching, football, different roles. she is a trailblazer in the men's professional game. a former player herself she worked at non—league level while gaining her professional coaching badges. it hasn't always been easy. when i started the only role a female could do in football would be a medic or sports therapist. i used to walk in with a male colleague and he will be in charge. it is changing. a woman in football and it event for 600 delegates and 100 speakers of females working in football. it's across the game. the football league says it is committed to having more diversity in terms of gender and race. and hannah has praised
6:56 pm
forest green for taking a lead. football traditionally has been scared to do things any other way than how they have always done it. i'll employ this person because that's the way of always done it. they coach the same way when they were coached as players. the fact that they renamed the road another way is so inspirational and making the experience of players better because we have a more diverse workforce. looking at problems differently, making clubs more successfully, i don't know why we haven't done it sooner. hannah believes the next logical step is to see a woman coaching at first team level in the men's game. it will come sooner than you think. the success of the lioness having, her name gets bandied around at chelsea because she is good. there are loads of female coaches who could quite happily coach at this level, no doubt and i think it is ground—breaking to see that. she is shaping the lives of these young men at forest green but also the future of the game. at forest green but also the future of the game.
6:57 pm
that's all from sportsday. we will see you soon. take care. after a chilly start this morning most parts of the country are enjoying sunshine for that we have seen cloud increasing a bit across parts of england and wales, could give one or two light showers in the south. otherwise those temperatures as we head toward the end of the day, similar to what we had yesterday for the it will get cold quite quickly this evening where we have clear skies. as the night goes on we will see cloud increasing, some and that'll bring rain into western parts of the uk for the where the skies are clear or longer in eastern scotland in the northeast of scotland this is where we're more likely to have a frost, even to start with on tuesday morning for that tuesday will look and feel a bit different from today for that
6:58 pm
much more clout around, more of a breeze and that will bring wet weather now and again. nothing particularly heavy but we will see some patchy rain and drizzle pushing its way northwards in eastwards briefly snow over the scottish mountains later in the day for the replacing that cloudy damp weather with some sunshine and some sharp showers in northern allen for up temperatures of 40 degrees, elsewhere higher than today.
