light rain. temperatures may be a degree also higher than today, 13—15 perhaps for good friday. heading into the weekend, high pressure is going to keep it dry for the most part with some sunshine at times. eventually these weather fronts, the second one there will come in from the atlantic and bring a change as we head into easter monday. full saturday we are going to find a chilly start, may be a touch of frost here and there but we'll see some sunshine. probably more cloud developing more readily spreading out a little more so not as much sun sign come through the afternoon but the temperatures could reach 14 in the temperatures could reach 14 in the central belt of scotland and 15 in the south—east of england and it should be a dry day. probably more in the way of sunshine on easter sunday. the southerly breeze will be picking up ahead of this rain that tries to arrive in northern ireland later on in the afternoon, but with the southerly breeze it's going to be the warmest day. it could make 16 degrees in merseyside and moray

1:35 pm
this for the sport? is a huge moment, because it v much it is a huge moment, because it very much sets a precedent for players who have in this instance argued that there are independent contractors will come that in a moment, anyone during this, liv golf, neverfarfrom moment, anyone during this, liv golf, never far from controversy, this is the saudi backed tour, first started with its inaugural event in june of last year, it was at that event when they through lots of money to some established players to come to the centurion club, to take part, and as part of that some of those players, they said to the european tour, we would like to compete, so they put in convicting event requests so it could take part. these were then denied. they do hugger anyway. as a result, dp world tour, runs the european tour, £100,000 fine, free blaze place it apart and they also banned them from the scottish open as well. these players were not happy, so what they went and it was appealed the decision, 16 players in total, it was only 12, because four dropped out. this appeal was heard by the
1:36 pm
sporting resolutions panel, panel of three people in february, behind closed doors, heard representations from the legal teams from these players, but today, around 10am, we heard from the panel, who said that they have upheld the dp world tour�*s decision to finance function of these players, in that they said the dp world tour acted reasonably, that they had legitimate and justifiable interest in protecting the rights of its membership, that the sanctioned members, this is a serious, committed serious breaches of the code of behaviour and they also said that the fines imposed, these £100,000 fines for players who breached the code of conduct, must now be paid within 30 days. henge breached the code of conduct, must now be paid within 30 days. have we heard anything _ now be paid within 30 days. have we heard anything official _ now be paid within 30 days. have we heard anything official from - now be paid within 30 days. have we heard anything official from the - now be paid within 30 days. have we heard anything official from the dp i heard anything official from the dp world tour? we heard anything official from the dp world tour? ~ . , world tour? we have, they were reluctant to _ world tour? we have, they were reluctant to speak _ world tour? we have, they were reluctant to speak when - world tour? we have, they were reluctant to speak when they . world tour? we have, they were l reluctant to speak when they said proceedings were still ongoing, but at 10am, when we heard about the decision from the panel, we had from the dp world tour chief executive and he, as you may expect, welcomes

the decision, he said, in deciding the decision, he said, in deciding the level of these sanctions, last year, we were simply administering a regulation, created by our members and then sign up to buy to them. they said by the clarity from today's decision, they will now focus on the rest of the 2023 schedule and carefully consider the details of the day's decision and take appropriate action in due course. this action could be quite severe for the players involved, because it could see the liv players face further bands from dp world tour events and possible the ryder cup. tour events and possible the ryder cu -. ., ., tour events and possible the ryder cu. ., ~' , ., tour events and possible the ryder cu . _ ., ~' , ., , . day one of the masters has begun in augusta — golf�*s first major of the year. and competition is fiercer than ever before, with golfers from the two rival tours — the pga and the saudi—backed liv tour — taking part. but aside from that, there's just one name on everyone's lips... rory mcilroy. can he do the grand slam? andy swiss reports.

1:41 pm
a record number of tickets have been sold for the friendly between northern ireland and wales in cardiff tonight. for wales, it�*s a chance to get revenge over the team that pipped them to euro 22 qualification. they�*re without striker kayleigh green who�*s injured. for northern ireland, it�*s their first match under interim boss andy waterworth. british equestrian, the governing body that oversees the sport from the pony club through to the olympics, has published a report, after questioning hundreds of people from either ethnically diverse or under—served communities. over three quarters of respondents agreed with the statement that they "felt under—represented in horse riding and its related activities", over half said they couldn�*t afford it and a quarter said they felt that racial discrimination was a factor affecting their ability to access and benefit from equestrian activity. jim eyre, the chief executive of british equestrian spoke to olly foster earlier. the whole purpose of the report and

so they was to understand those barriers to equestrianism and how we can make it more diverse. so i�*m pretty grateful for what it has unearthed and clarified. but because ofthe unearthed and clarified. but because of the costs. — unearthed and clarified. but because of the costs, isn't _ unearthed and clarified. but because of the costs, isn't it _ unearthed and clarified. but because of the costs, isn't it just _ of the costs, isn�*t itjust inevitable that it always will be seen as classist and elitist? i think there is a bit of deception there. it is expensive, looking after animals, and horses, there. it is expensive, looking afteranimals, and horses, indeed. people do make amazing sacrifices to do so. riding schools work really hard to make sure that they are accessible. family riding schools, across the country, they have got massive waiting lists, which is a really positive sign. but it is expensive. elite athletes have come from various backgrounds and so i will try to challenge the perception that it will try to challenge the perception thatitis will try to challenge the perception that it is classist, it is elitist. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app,
1:43 pm
orfrom our website — that�*s bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello and welcome to bbc news — i�*m luxmy gopal. the commissioner of the metropolitan police, sir mark rowley, has said he needs greater powers to root out rogue officers. he says he�*s diverted around 90 officers from tackling serious crime and terrorism to carry out investigations of wrong—doing within the force. the met launched a major review after the conviction of a serving officer for the murder of sarah everard. he�*s been taking calls from listeners on bbc radio london this morning. bbc london presenter eddie nestor started by quoting a poll commissioned by bbc london, which suggested more than 60% of people didn�*t feel confident that sir mark would be able to clean up the serious problems, and improve trust, at the met police.
1:44 pm
take a look. we�*ve got a bbc london poll today, specially commissioned poll, which determines that 63% of londoners don�*t have faith in you to make the changes necessary. when did you see the problems in the met and why should people trust you? so i came back out of four years very comfortable retirement to take this job on because i knew the scale of the challenge. i realised when i was outside policing how much i still care about it, how much it matters to all of us. and i was frustrated and saddened by what i saw and ifelt i could contribute. but it sounded like you can see it clearer from the outside than you could when you actually worked within it? you could see it because of the events that were unfolding. i mean, i spent the last six years of my 31—year policing career in the met. most of it i was leading the national response to terrorism. i was pretty busy during the isis times with with that and the sort of professional standards of the met was run in another area.
1:45 pm
now i wish i�*d seen more and i think all of us who�*ve led need to say to ourselves, why didn�*t we see more? but what have you come up with then? why didn�*t you see more? i tell you for why. because it�*s the first time. and, you know, there are all sorts of reports out today which has caused me to lose my beauty sleep about looking at numbers. but the one thing that seems to have come out more and more is a kind of analysis of you. and it kind of makes sense, doesn�*t it? because if i trust you, then i trust you to make the changes that are necessary. but the bbc london poll determined that 63% of londoners did not trust you to make those changes. how do you respond to that? i�*m six months into my commissionship. i�*ve said some very strong things. people are wanting want to see the action, aren�*t they? so i�*m not, i�*m not at all surprised by that. what they�*re seeing is an organisation that�*s going through some very difficult times. it�*s made some mistakes with some ghastly, ghastly consequences, and a lot of them won�*t realise
1:46 pm
there�*s a new commissioner even
