instinctive emotional reaction, and what ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney have been going through so publicly is essentially what every single man, woman and child that you could see on the streets of wrexham have been going through, for some of them, their entire lives. they are intrinsically emotionally linked to their football club, as so many are across this country and indeed the world because of generational ties, because of geographical ties. there are so many things that get you into a football club, and that's often, and there are exceptions, but that's often a pond you set up for life. it's what all of us here in sports news subscribe to, it's why we bring back people to find out what emotions they should bring the maccabee feeling about their football or rugby or cricket club, because of the emotional ties that somehow

appear. it might sound like it's some sort of cynical desire on behalf of the hollywood —based owners, but if they have felt it, they know that others can too, and it's either a lesson other clubs met want to follow or a lesson hollywood folks will want to follow, as well. but they've been able to distil down a washable series, but also a washable trophy parade, as well, seeing those people on the streets of wrexham celebrating. they have been able to find it, harvested, and show everybody what it is. and andy is one of those fans who will be feeling it to a great intensity today and against boreham wood later. those are for the people lining the streets of wrexham, and that's why it's the story we have been following this evening because

so many associate there for a ballclub with something that is deep within them, deep inside them, and i have to talk from experience now, there's often a lot of disappointment along that road. so there'll be many notjust wrexham fans will be enjoying the that a lot of that disappointment is wiped away because of what's happened at wrexham, and i'm sure andy will be able to say it in a lot more elegant ways than me, why the emotional core is there for him, but it's evident and it is something that two blokes who act for a living have been able to find and show a lot of people who don't know anything about football on either side of the atlantic. hugh, thanks very much for being with us for the last hour and a bit, i know you have to go back and do some other work. i want to bring andy back again, your thoughts on hugh there? he's talking a lot of

and government buildings and around westminster and the uk. she attracted controversy early this year when she announced she was resigning from her post in government and the civil service because she had approached to be a chief of staff for the leader of the opposition, sir keir starmer, leader of the labour party in the uk. now what happened as a result of that was the government were pretty unhappy with this announcement, they worried there could have been a period of overlap between when she was still working in government, but also speaking to the opposition party at the time, so they ordered an inquiry run by the cabinet office into what they said was an unprecedented situation. we've had an update today from the deputy prime minister about this inquiry, but to be honest it doesn't really shed much further light on the situation. it doesn't clarify whether or not any rules were broken as part of this appointment process. it does say that she didn't engage or make representations to the

government inquiry into this. what will be more significant though is what the advisory committee on business appointments, which is a committee that examines anyjob roles that people in government might take up after they leave, what their conclusions are. bbc has been told that she is fully cooperating with them, and i think their findings of this will be key to whether or not she can take up this role working for the opposition, or if she does take it up, how long she may have to wait between what she has done and taking out that future role. now labour or insisting that no rules have been broken, and the shadow chancellor rachel reeves this afternoon was saying they look forward to welcoming her to the labour party. forward to welcoming her to the labour party-— forward to welcoming her to the labour party. thank you for that. lu let labour party. thank you for that. lucy let b. _ labour party. thank you for that. lucy let b. the — labour party. thank you for that. lucy let b, the nurse _ labour party. thank you for that. lucy let b, the nurse accused i labour party. thank you for that. lucy let b, the nurse accused of| lucy let b, the nurse accused of murdering seven babies and trying to kill two others has been giving testimony today. she cried in the

witness box and insisted she was just looking after babies, and she said she was traumatised when she was arrested. she denies all the charges against her. judith bortz was in court and sent us this report. in court room number seven, all eyes were on lucy let be. she said herself, "you can't be accused of anything worse. now time came to hear directly from her. leaving her defence, ben myers casey put questions to lucy let be. her parents have been at court there at the trial and sat at the public gallery as their daughter began her stint in the witness box. ben myers began asking the question of the heart of the entire case.

there was complete silence in court as lucy letby spoke clearly, looking directly at the jury. and sitting just yards away from the parents of some of the babies she's accused of attacking or murdering. the nurse is accused of killing seven babies between june 2015 and 2016. accused of killing seven babies betweenjune 2015 and 2016. and of attempting to murder a further ten. she denies all the charges. she was taken off duty when doctors of the hospital raised their suspicions, but it was another two years before she was arrested in her house was searched. ben myers casey asked the nurse how she felt when she realised what she was being accused of. the nurse started to cry in the witness box and said... ben myers asked... lucy letby answered...

the prosecution has previously shown the jury several handwritten notes explaining that they were found by the police when they searched lucy letby�*s house after her arrest. on one of them, she had written, "i don't know if i killed them. maybe i did. was go on another, or barrister picked out some phrases to show to the court. ben myers said... lucy letby replied... lucy letby told the court it was noticeably busier at the countess of chester neonatal unit during the years she's accused of harming babies. she said the unit seemed to have more babies with complex needs and no increased staffing to cope with it. she was asked why she had searched for the parents of babies

on facebook. she answered he was out of curiosity, and they were on her mind. the nurse will continue giving her evidence later this week. judith moretz, bbc news, manchester. that's it from me and the team, here's the weather. hello, lots of interest in the weather forecast over the next few days, a big weekend coming up. in the short term, the belt there is relatively quiet, try for us and a bright day to come for many parts of the uk but not everywhere. at the moment an area of high pressure over us, but it has been quite a cloudy high, look at the extent of the cloud, you can see the brighter cloud, you can see the brighter cloud there, across more northern and central areas, round coastal areas particularly in the southwest, it hasn't been too bad at all, some prolonged spells of sunshine. through this evening and overnight, it's more southern and central parts of the uk that get the clear spells, could also turn chilli in some areas. no rich at two celsius, but

out towards the west a little milder dust norwich. first thing on wednesday. on wednesday, broadly speaking it's the northern half of the uk that will be cloudy most of the uk that will be cloudy most of the time, even some rain there in western parts and central areas of scotland too. the best of the weather out towards the west and southwest, this is what the high temperatures will be, 17—18 c. not bad on the north sea coast, newcastle around 15. then a change occurs on thursday, we see a weather front moving in from the southwest, initially in the morning it brings rain to southwestern areas, so cornwall, devon, somerset into wales, perhaps nudging into the midlands during the course of the afternoon, but elsewhere should be dry. but there will be an easterly breeze, so quite chilly in places like newcastle and aberdeen, the high temperatures will be further south. skipping now to the weekend, it is a very important weekend. low

pressure, weatherfront it is a very important weekend. low pressure, weather front after weather front and plenty of heavy showers, and the risk of downpours, yes, almost any day. but it will be very tricky, at least at this stage, to forecast weather showers will occur. there will be showers around, no doubt about that, and a few downpours too, but i think the best advice is to just be prepared for the showers because they won't go everywhere, there will be sunny spells and the weather icons on the website, on our apps will change from day—to—day as that's just the nature of the shower forecasting. that's it from me, bye—bye.
