populations in the toll on breeding populations in the uk. with migrating seabirds about to return to our shores to nest from overseas, there are fears that the disease could start spreading again and we could see history start to repeat itself.— with just over two weeks to go, hundreds of military personnel were seen parading through the streets of central london last night, in a midnight rehearsal for the king's coronation. in military dress, they travelled in rows on horseback through the quiet streets in preparation for may 6th — when more than 6,000 men and women from the uk's armed forces will be involved. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. we have got more sunshine for most of us over the next few days, so we have got more of these blue skies to be enjoyed through the course of the

afternoon for most of us. yesterday was the warmest day of the year so far with temperatures reaching 21.2 in the highlands of scotland. where were the so toasty? that was down to the mountains themselves. most of us had brisk winds, but winds were blocked by the mountains to the sun's energy was concentrated, allowing temperatures to search. most of us, the wind meant that temperatures were not quite so high. more of the same over the next few days with this area of high pressure going nowhere very far for the next few days. although most of us will keep the sunshine this afternoon, there are a few exceptions. cloudier in the south—east of england for a time. an odd showers possible. also some cloud across the eastern coast of scotland and north—east england. around the coast, temperatures around 10—11, not feeling that warm. the highest temperature be further west. again, in the highlands

looking at temperatures climbing into the low 20s. some of you might turn out to be quite an easy today because it is very high levels of tree pollen. something like 25% of us are sensitive to that, so you might find a tissue or too handy. overnight tonight, if you match was in south—east england, but otherwise a dry night with tiptoes dropping down into low single figures. quite a chilly start to tomorrow. i think generally, although the weather is largely dry, there will be more cloud for england and wales. there could be an odd passenger work. most of us will keep fine and dry weather with the best of the sunshine returning through the afternoon across much of the uk, especially in the north and east. temperatures highest again across western areas, probably high teens into parts of western scotland. heading into thursday, there are some slightly cooler air working its way in. that will be mitigated to a degree by the factor will be much more sunshine. temperatures still struggling a bit across eastern areas of the country. again, the same story with those

higher temperatures across western portions of the country. through friday at the weekend, we start to see a change in the weather pattern. low pressure starts to become established so we will see outbreaks of rain. the rain initially spreading to england and wales on friday before becoming much more widespread across the whole of the uk through saturday and sunday. into next week, it looks like it is going to be quite cold by the time of year. temperatures in edinburghjust eight celsius. not looking great early next week. chris, thank you very much. dress with your latest forecast. —— chris. that's all from the bbc news at one, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, i'mjane dougall, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme: a shocking disruption by protestors, but extra security checks at the crucible allowed the world snooker championships to get back under way today.

crunch time at chelsea — lampard's side take on real madrid at stamford bridge, but is there any way back from their first leg defeat? emma raducanu has a huge challenge on her hands as she faces former french open champion jelena ostapenko on clay for the first time this year. hello and thanks forjoining us. here's your latest sports news. we're going to start in sheffield because the world snooker championships resumed this morning with organisers, fans and players relieved that, so far, there have been no further disruptions after protesters halted play last night. security around the crucible has been stepped up as a result of the incident, which saw two people arrested. we're joined by bbc snooker reporterjamie broughton, who can bring us up to date. jamie, you witnessed this unfold

last night, but what's the atmosphere like today? well, i think we have returned to a sense of calm today, order has been restored. last night we saw two protesters from the environmental group just boil protesters from the environmental groupjust boil run protesters from the environmental group just boil run towards the two tables. the man emptied a packet of orange powder on one table meaning the match had to be abandoned, but the match had to be abandoned, but the women were stopped from causing any damage on the other table as she was grabbed by the match referee. as protesters were ta ken away was grabbed by the match referee. as protesters were taken away and arrested by the police. there was a real anger over what was happening by the bands. outside afterwards the protesters had a few shouted at them when they were taken away to a waiting police car. and the woman replied to one person replied to one person said that what they were protesting about was far more important than one snooker match.

there are more security guards inside the arena, on the stairs and on the floor near the tables and spectators are only allowed to take very small bags into the arena. they are doing random frisk searches to some of the spectators. what are doing random frisk searches to some of the spectators.— some of the spectators. what has been the reaction _ some of the spectators. what has been the reaction from _ some of the spectators. what has been the reaction from the - some of the spectators. what has| been the reaction from the players and how much of a concern is security around the players? we heard security around the players? - heard from some of the players affected last night. they were very angry about what happened. mark allen managed to finish his match. he described the two protesters as idiots and he said he didn't want to talk about them because he thought it would give them more publicity. security is never an issue really we have heard the players talk about. given that the venue is so small and some of the crowd are close enough to touch the players, i'm sure the players have thought about it in the past. shaun murphy has said he has had some concerns in the past about

the level of security here. snooker is a soft target and i would hate, although i see it as an inevitability now, but i would hate for the relationship between the fans who come to watch our events around the world and the sport itself may change just that little bit now because i have been saying for a long time that our security protocols and access is too weak. one of the lovely things about the crucible as they say the crowd on the front row can literally reach out and touch the players or the table and play. yesterday we sought enacted in real life.— enacted in real life. unfortunately we have -- _ enacted in real life. unfortunately we have -- and — enacted in real life. unfortunately we have -- and fortunately, - enacted in real life. unfortunately we have -- and fortunately, we i enacted in real life. unfortunately i we have -- and fortunately, we have we have —— and fortunately, we have seen simply getting under today. first—round action has been continuing here. jack lisowski is playing well, knocking in breaks of

50, 68 and 78. elite 6-3. on playing well, knocking in breaks of 50, 68 and 78. elite 6—3. on the other table today are faster from gary wilson. he is 7—2 up. a highlight from wilson today was a break of 131. a couple of good matches in play. thank you, jamie. well, gary wilson and elliot slessor will be back at the table after 7.00pm tonight. wilson leads two frames to one. this afternoon we'll see masters championjudd trump in action. he's taking on anthony mcgill from 2.30pm. john higgins and david grace will be on table two. higgins leads 7—2 against the english qualifier. robert milkins againstjoe perry will resume in the evening session, that was the delayed match last night because of those protests we mentioned during their first frame.

many people have voiced their opinion on this one. how do you feel about owners going into the dressing room? a lot has been made of chelsea owner todd bohley�*s talk to the players, in which he's said to have told them their season was embarassing. many people have voiced their opinion on this one. not that frank lampard minded, he believes it can show the club's passion, although it was also put to him that the club is broken. chelsea sit 11th in the premier league despite spending more than £550 million on players. the champions league is the last competition they can win, but they trail real madrid 2—0 heading into tonight's quarterfinal second leg at stamford bridge. i'v e i've been here too many times at chelsea at stamford bridge in a midweek knockout game to understand that the atmosphere is going to be great and it is time for us to tap into that early in the game and nature will we engage the crowd

throughout because they can help us, for sure. that's why this two legged competition is the best out there. that's why this two legged competition is the best out there. manchester city take on bayern munich in their champions league quarterfinal second leg tomorrow and have received a boost ahead of kick—off with phil foden returning to training today. the 22—year—old has been missing since being forced to pull out of england duty last month to have his appendix removed. foden trained with a full—strength city squad this morning in preparation for pep guardiola and his players flying to germany later. city are favourites to progress against the german champions, they hold a 3—0 lead from last week's first leg. staying with manchester city and the club has submitted a planning application for the development of the etihad stadium, which could see the capacity increased from 53,000 to more than 60,000 seats. the proposals have been made to manchester city council as part of a bid to create what the club is describing as a "best—in—class" fan experience and year—round entertainment and leisure destination' for supporters. all—weather facilities,

a sky bar and stadium roof walk experience are all among the proposals. it's estimated to cost in the region of £300 million, would take three years to complete and potentially create more than 2,500 jobs. the immediate future of manchester united remains a big talking point after the value of the club's share price fell by more than 11% following reports the glazer family want to stay as owners of the club. recent reports suggest that could now be the preferred option of co—chairmen joel and avram glazer. the current owners revealed last november that they were seeking "strategic alternatives" for the club, which included the possibility of investment, but also a sale — the latter favoured by many united fans, who've protested against the glazer�*s ownership. it was thought the biding may go to a third round.

some better news for arsenal captain kim little, who yesterday was ruled out for the rest of the season with a hamstring injury, but today has signed a new contract with the club. the midfielder firstjoined arsenal in 2008 and has since made 290 appearances over two spells in north london. little has scored 164 goals and won six league titles as well as three fa cups and five league cups. arsenal currently trail leaders manchester united by three points in the wsl with the two sides going head—to—head tomorrow. manchester united manager marc skinner has been speaking to the media this morning ahead of that crucial match. he says the results could be pivotal in terms of the outcome of the title race, but he doesn't want his players to look too far ahead. as exciting as i think it will be, i think it will still go down to the last game stop it is a key game, by the way, i'm not downplaying that, but i still think there is a lot to go ahead first before we start

looking into that, but i'm sure us and arsenal are to be focused fully on trying to get the three points in this game. having skipped last week's billiejean king cup tie, emma raducanu plays herfirst clay court event of the year in germany later today. she's a wild card for the stuttgart open and faces a tough first match, having been drawn against the 2017 french open champion jelena ostapenko in the first round. it's raducanu's first match since losing in the opening round of the miami open last month, and only her third tournament since the australian open injanuary. the former us open champion is looking to build some momentum after her recent injury struggles as she builds up to the french open in may and wimbledon this summer. if she beats ostapenko, then third seed ons jabeur would await her in round two in germany. fellow britons liam broady and kyle edmund are also in action today in the men's draw.
