it affected the whole town, so everybody you talk to will say, oh, yeah, my great grandad, or my uncles, aunties... there is a connection for everybody. it's also the wider welsh culture that the club has new—found fame is promoting. ryan and rob have done absolute miracles, to be honest, to the welsh language. they are obviously learning what they can and things, and that's definitely seen an impact in how many people are learning the language right now. and life won't be the same for wrexham fans if they celebrate promotion tomorrow, singing the song. and who knows how many sequels this tale will have? mike bushell, bbc news, wrexham. time for a look at the weather. here's tomasz schafernaker. hi, clive.

i had to put my scarf on earlier today, and i think many others might have to dig out the thick coats in the coming days. it will turn chilly, even wintry showers across northern parts of the uk, but today, we have a tale of two halves. beautiful weather across scotland and northern ireland, but across england and way is, this sneaky weather front has been pushed england and way is, this sneaky weatherfront has been pushed in by quite a strong easterly wind. you can see on the radar where it has rained in the last few hours across parts of england, into wales as well, but the cloudless skies in place across scotland and northern ireland. it is also very gusty across the pennines in the north of england all the way from merseyside towards particularly cumbria, gusts of wind up to gale force. here is that tale of two halves. today in some parts of western scotland, high teens, perhaps nudging up to 20. by sunday, i was talking about coats and scarves, and the northerly wind, and scarves, and the northerly wind, and a really significant wind chill,

temperatures could drop by about 10 celsius compared to what we have today. early in the morning, single figure temperatures in the south, ii figure temperatures in the south, 11 degrees at best in london today. you can see through this evening, bits and pieces of rain still across parts of england and wales. eventually, early saturday will see that rain just about nudging into the southern parts of northern ireland and also scotland. where this sky is clear this coming night, we will see temperatures drop to around freezing or below. some mist and fog first thing across the south with the lighter winds, and then tomorrow, a distinctly different story across the southern uplands. wet, and rainfor story across the southern uplands. wet, and rain for northern ireland champion, but still fine weather in northern scotland. elsewhere, across the country, a mix of fine weather and showers. predominantly showers in the south, and sunny in the midlands. then the change occurs on sunday. low pressure with cloud and showers rotating over the uk, and around it come the cold winds. look at that blue colour spreading in from the northern climbs. the

temperatures will not be particularly low but the wind will be gusting gale force across the north, so with single figure temperatures it will really feel nippy along the north sea coast. it will not feel like 14 in london. i think it will be colder than that of the strength of the wind, but particularly chilly in the north. so how long will this nippy snap last? certainly into next week. i think beyond next wednesday, it looks as though temperatures will start to recover at least a bit. back to you, clive. thank you. a reminder of our top story... dominic raab has resigned as deputy prime minister and justice secretary, after a report on claims of bullying. rishi sunak says he has accepted the resignation. with great sadness. that's it, so goodbye from me. now on bbc one, let'sjoin our news teams where you are. have a very good afternoon.

hello, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme. not good enough! erik ten hag criticises his manchester united players as they crash out of the europa league. preparing for an emotional 26.2 miles — mo farah will run his final london marathon this weekend. and he's won the french open 14 times, but will rafa nadal be there this year to defend his title? we hear from the tournament boss, who's hoping he will be. hello and thanks forjoining us, here's your latest sports news. not composed and not good enough — the words of manchester united boss erik ten hag after their europa league exit last night. they lost 3—0 at sevilla in the second leg of their quarterfinal. the manager said they only had themselves to blame, and midfielder christian eriksen said the players took responsibility.

it was 2—2 after the first leg, but united went behind in spain when an error by harry maguire was punished by youssef en—nesyri. and he scored their third as well, this time after a mistake from united keeper david de gea. it finished 5—2 overall, not the best build—up to their fa cup semifinal against brighton on sunday. ten hag was pretty forthright with his assessment. we have to accept now. but it's unacceptable because everyone can... can see that the demands and the standard has to be higher in the club that's manchester united. so, plenty to reflect on for the players. and there's still one realistic chance for manchester united to claim a second piece of silverware this season, they play brighton in the fa cup semi—finals this weekend, followed by a crucial match in the premier league against tottenham four days later. can they put last night behind them? hugh ferris has been speaking to former manchester city and tottenham midfielder

michael brown. everybody is talking about the fact that they can win three trophies, finish in the champions league, but they are blistering in the premier league and now to get the result in europe that is damning, yes, they have had injuries, but they have a good squad of players that can certainly get better results. so there is a bit of inconsistency creeping in and we have seen that for a long period of time at manchester united, something we felt that was going away. now it sort of creeping back in towards the end of the season so they have to look at it carefully and this could be a difficult game against a really, really exciting brighton side. find really exciting brighton side. and there's a chance that now manchester united see the fa cup as their only route to anything of success because with that result against newcastle, their diminishing form in the premier league and now out of europe, the top four, silver were on the continent might not happen. the fa cup suddenly retain so much

"it's the second year in a row west ham have reached a european semi." they'll take on dutch side az alkmaar next. we've heard in the last half an hour or so that aylish mccolgan is out of sunday's london marathon because of a knee problem.

she was one of the stars of the commonwealth games in birmingham last summer when she won the io—thousand metres. mccolgan is the british half—marathon record holder and she was due to be making her debut in the event, but she said she was frustrated to have picked up a niggle in her knee. her mother liz mccolgan won the london marathon in 1996. meanwhile, one of the most recognisable names in the sport, mo farah, says he's expecting sunday's race to be �*emotional�*. the 26.2 mile run will be his last over that distance. the four—time olympic champion has already retired from the track and is now ready to stop competing completely this year. in london is home for me, it's where in london is home for me, it's where i grew up and has so much history and to be part of what we did in the super saturday at the olympics, that always stays with me and it carries

you through every race and for me, i'd love to be able to come back here and have your last race here and think of the crowd and the support, and london are special however and comes together. it's going to be a very emotional and i think i willjust try and observe it and go out there and enjoy it. england's georgia hall is top of the money list in women's golf this season but she hasn't won a major for five years and she's desperate for more success. she made a solid start to the chevron championship — the first women's major of the season. an opening round of 70 at carlton woods near houston in texas left her three shots behind leader, pei—yun chien, of taiwan. pei—yun chien, of taiwan. the world rally championship paid tribute to irish rally driver craig breen before the croatia rally got under way on friday morning. his hyundai team and fans held both

a moment of silence and applause for the 33—year—old who died last week after an accident during testing ahead of the event. his team mate thierry new—ville's car is carrying the colours of the irish flag in tribute. despite this crash the belgian currently has a 16 second lead over britain's elvin evans after four stages. there are five weeks until the french open — but there are concerns defending champion rafa nadal might not be there. he's won the tournament 14 times, but is struggling to recover from a hip injury and has already withdrawn from the madrid open. the tournament director is hoping he will be fit enough. she has been speaking to a times correspondent. it's a possibility for him not to be fit, to be 100% to come here. the only thing i know for sure if that is one tournament it is what misses this one. he wants to be underscored and he wants to be able to defend his title. we are five weeks away

chalke is his name. he is a point of the newjustice secretary and downing street has announced that in the last couple of minutes or so and he replaces dominic rab who resigned from his post earlier and the other bit of breaking news we are hearing is that dominic raab and the prime minister has spoken to each other on the phone so to significant development is on that but we went crossing and dominic raab announcing by publishing his letter of resignation that he was going to resignation that he was going to resign asjustice secretary resignation that he was going to resign as justice secretary and resignation that he was going to resign asjustice secretary and then we have a rishi sunak�*s letter accepting the resignation and then the report into those allegations of bullying which were published and we are wading through that document now. we will get that in a second. we were writing to or waiting for the replacement for dominic raab and alex chalk is the man who comes in

and he is the mp for cheltenham. he previously served for a junior minister at the ministry of defence and he talks about his commitment to cheltenham and living there, and now his team in the constituency office will continue to work diligently no doubt for the people of cheltenham, but he has anotherjob as well on top of that. he will move to the justice department to head up that department. let's go back now to allegations of bullying that have published in this report about dominic raab. we have been might waiting months for it. what are you? my waiting months for it. what are you? my colleague courtney will tell us. it's a 48 page report and very dense and my colleagues are going through it line by line but i have a few parts to show you and it's all about dominic raab's so—called interruptive leadership style and the way that manifested in behaviour, physical gestures and

meetings were deemed to be threatening, although the report noted that dominic raab didn't intend to be intimidating and wasn't aware he being intimidating but all of this, to characterise all of this, we need to start with this definition in the report about what bullying actually is. it's not a legally defined terminus of the purpose of this report, the civil service definition of bullying is that "the legitimate, reasonable and constructive criticism of a's performance will not amount to bullying. it is intimidating or insulting behaviour that makes an individual feel uncomfortable, frightened, less respected or put down." that's the key question here. and if wejump down." that's the key question here. and if we jump forward to the conclusions of this report it describes dominic rab's conduct during this time as "on occasion as abrasive in the sense of a personal style which is and feels intimidating or insulting to the individual, but is not intended to
