spells of heavy rain. some sunny intervals in between times, perhaps a little cooler, highs of 16 or 17. but a big purse to come in the next 48 hours, but then friday into saturday, high—pressure tries to bother across the uk and it looks like we will see something drier, perhaps only briefly. potentially later next weekend we could be more showery but some such on here for you for friday and saturday at least. compensation for all the thunderstorms! and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye — the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. it isa it is a repeat of last years champions league semifinal but they don't want the same result. managers

burst into tears. welcome to the programme. he's says it's not revenge, but pep guardiola will be desperate to turn the tables on real madrid, after they put manchester city out of the champions league in the semi—finals last year. well, the two sides meet again at the same stage of the competition this year — who will make it to the final? real have won this trophy 14 times, city have never won it — but this time around, they have a secret weapon. olly foster is in spain for us, olly, real madrid have looked impressive throughout this competition, but manchester city have a goal machine in their squad now — will erling haaland

antonio ruediger comes in for the suspended minutes i will. so ruediger is one of the men charge for trying to keep erling haaland quiet. another change in the midfield three. luka modric came on as a subject so their talisman will be putting all the strings because he starts. federico by verity on one side and tony cruise on the other. and that feared front three real madrid. karim benzema, vinicius junior and rodrigo. what can erling haaland and others do to real madrid? i spoke to finds earlier today and they give me some slightly tongue—in—cheek responses. we are not afraid of erling haaland kevin _

city were cruising towards a final but to late goes from rodrigo force the game into extra time and then karim benzema it scores a winner in extra time and they lead a charmed life last season. religion came from behind against pse in the last 16 and then against chelsea in the quarterfinals stopped and then they went on to fairly comfortably beaten liverpool in the fetid paraspinal. when madrid as they always do at this time of year feel that this is their competition. as for the players from manchester city who me bear some of the mental scars from what happened 12 months ago, they have to put it out of their head. pep guardiola might say it's not about revenge but rodrigo certainly has that in his mind.

celebrations in the town of burnley are well under way, with an open top bus parade just beginning with the championship trophy. it's a fitting finale to their spectacular season where they won the title, and broke the 100 points barrier while doing so, under manager vincent kompany, who has signed a new five—year contract to stay with championship title winners until the summer of 2028, leading them back to the premier league at the first attempt of asking. richard askam is there for us. i feel like ifeel like i'm in i feel like i'm in one ifeel like i'm in one big claret and blue party that's what it is been all afternoon with the players gathering on the bike only in burnley throughout the evening. the open top bus will be leaving at 7pm where this party will continue. you can understand it, can't you? what a season burnley had. 101 points and he designed a new deal as well. new investments with the sporting super start jj what, a footballer who

burnley checked all the boxes, a hard—working tone and tough people were passionate and loving of their club. vincent kompany and his vision and the owner and his vision, the history and tradition and supporters, it is about honouring and respecting that. you don't want to come in and do something that is not true to who the club and people of burnley are. i think what we are most trying to do is showing what really burnley is about. i did a pub crawl yesterday on my way to the stadium on the web turf moor. ijust want to earn the trust of the supporters and what we have learned from talking to people, and it's fascinating being in burnley, they want people to understand how special the place is and how great the people are there. they want someone to help tell their story and want the world to know burnley is a special place and we are here to help tell that story.

in a case that's been described as a watershed moment, an american could face up to ten years in prison after pleading guilty to supplying performance—enhancing drugs to olympic athletes. eric lira is the first defendant to be charged under a new us law introduced following russia's state—backed olympic doping scandals. our sports news correspondent alex capstick has been looking into the story for us, i began by asking him how this doping case came to light. the act is named after the insider who uncovered, the whistle—blower, and the huge doping scandal in russia the stop he had to uncover that and eat now allows the fbi to go after people who help the cheats. the athletes and their entourages. in this case, eric lira is accused of assisting and handed band performance enhancing drugs to athletes like blessing okagbare, the

former olympic silver medallist who was withdrawn from the tokyo olympics i had of her 100 metre semifinal. eric lira admitted his guilt in the case and he's a doctor based in texas and he is going to be sentenced to jail, and it could be as many as ten years that he sentenced. this case is being described as a landmarkjudgment because it has never been used before. it's the first time a member of an athletes entourage is found guilty using the act. because previously it wasn't a crime to give burma performance enhancing drugs to the athletes. hat burma performance enhancing drugs to the athletes. ., , ., , the athletes. not everyone is in favour of the _ the athletes. not everyone is in favour of the new _ the athletes. not everyone is in favour of the new law, - the athletes. not everyone is in favour of the new law, are - the athletes. not everyone is in | favour of the new law, are they? the athletes. not everyone is in i favour of the new law, are they? it has been controversial. the world anti—doping agency has been resisting it. the us anti—job lead

agency was really behind it and wanted to push it through and has been at loggerheads with water and it is critical because it does allow in certain circumstances where there is it contravenes or is inconsistent with the wider code governing anti—doping rules and relations for decades. there are also concerns from the world anti—doping agency what it means from whistle—blowers. will they be keen to blow the whistle and inform scores of authorities if he could come under thejurisdiction of authorities if he could come under the jurisdiction of the americans? the madrid open has been accused of sexism after they gave their ball girls revealing new outfits to wear, while the ball boys were covered up. the organisers have also been accused of favouring male players over scheduling match times and stopping some female players from giving speeches

after winning performances. tennis correspondent stephanie myles has followed the tour to rome where the majority of the players are currently. they have been doing it for 20 years. for years you never hear a world about it but the skirt state had on originally were longer than some of the players were wearing. the problem was the tournaments response to it. the problem was the tournaments resoonse to it— response to it. there have been other issues, _ response to it. there have been other issues, having _ response to it. there have been other issues, having there? - response to it. there have been - other issues, having there? several of the female tennis players were upset regarding the scheduling of the messages and not being able to speak afterwards. the the messages and not being able to speak afterwards.— the messages and not being able to speak afterwards. the matches were scheduled late. _ speak afterwards. the matches were scheduled late. so _ speak afterwards. the matches were

big american agency, img, at no on the tournament and they have a public relations situation on their hands and so far they have nothing to say which means they are frantically breaking on a bit of damage control behind—the—scenes. time for a look at some of the other sports news stories making the headlines. england fast bowlerjofra archer is a doubt for the ashes series against australia this summer after flying home early from the indian premier league. the 28—year—old has been struggling with a long—term elbow injury. the first test begins in five weeks. andreas leknessund has become the first norwegian in 42 years to lead the giro d'italia. his second placed finish on stage four behind aurelien paret—peintre of france was enough to earn him the pinkjersey. britain's geraint thomas and tao geoghegan hart are sixth and ninth respectively, both almost a minute and a half off the pace. and scotland head coach gregor townsend has signed a contract extension until 2026. he's been in charge for five years and led the scots to a third place finish in the six nations this year,

and to their highest world ranking place of fifth. six months into british gymnastic�*s plan to overhaul the sport, the organisation says it's "on track", but there are few details as to how, in their report. the plan follows the damning whyte review, which detailed "systemic" issues of physical and emotional abuse in gymnastics, as well as some incidents of sexual abuse. our sports news correspondent katie gornall has been looking into this story, she spoke to me earlier and began by reminding us of the background to this story. british gymnastics plan to be transparent which is why they publish this report. they have completed, they say, 11 elements of the 14 points of their plan which they say keeps them on track to achieve what they want to achieve by 2025. this includes things like

changing the high—performance leadership, investing more in welfare, in fact they feel they have doubled their spending on welfare in some sports from 2022 are around £1 million per year. they added a new action plan as well to include parents abuse into account. one thing about the reform action plan when it was published, with the commitment by british gymnastics to publish the name of band coaches on their website. they have not done that yet which at some who campaigned on the issue will find frustrating but we understand it is close. the important thing is, and some in british gymnastics will say, it is a work in progress. they know they have to do the right thing and seem to be doing the right thing because of how broken the trust is an damage of the relationship between the membership and athletes and the governing body. back in 2021, british shooter amber rutter missed the tokyo olympics after testing positive for covid—19

on the eve of the games, leaving her struggling with anxiety and battling depression. she was ranked world number one at the time, but the exclusion meant she strongly considered quitting the sport. in her first broadcast interview in almost two years, she told nick hope that — despite qualifying for a place at the next olympics — she's now prioritising her mental health. you broke the mould of what was expected of a shooter. shooting is a male dominated sport, it's very much a stereotype of being a farmer but for me it was completely the opposite. i am from a city and i am a propergirly girl, i love my hair and make—up. i would turn up and i would be head to toe in a pinkjacket, sparkly gun but it was just getting my personality across and doing what i love in a male dominated sport.

you have won many medals. tell me about tokyo where you ranked world no 1. tokyo was the hardest time of my life. british shooter amber hill has withdrawn from the olympics after testing positive for coronavirus before her departure for the games. i was probably one of the favourites to win the olympics and it was the last test i had to do to be able to get on that plane and get out to tokyo, and that was the one where the faintest line showed up. i dropped to the floor, burst into tears telling my family that this journey for me was over with my bags all packed, waiting at the door to go at six o'clock the next morning to the airport. it was the worst moment of my life. in those coming months i probably started to take a dive with my mental health. i got myself into a bad place. i was crying every day. the anxiety i was feeling, i wouldn't sleep well.

i wanted to quit shooting altogether. i resented everything to do with the sport. it was just a tough time and a lot of sadness and depression. how did you work through the worst moment in your life? it's been a long process to work through. but what you can do is keep looking to the future and i feel like it has really given me a reality check. what have you learned? the idea of winning an olympic medal has changed for me. i would be lying to say it was everything i wanted to achieve because right now it is not. i am really happy with the idea of starting a family and getting married. i am really putting my happiness and my family and things i want to do with my life first and if the olympics fits into that, then it will fit into that.

we wish her the best of luck at the next olympics. let's take you back to madrid as we count down to the first leg of the champions league semifinal between real madrid and manchester city. i know he brought to steam news remind us of the teams again. i willi remind us of the teams again. i will aet remind us of the teams again. i will net to that remind us of the teams again. i will get to that in _ remind us of the teams again. i will get to that in a _ remind us of the teams again. i will get to that in a moment _ remind us of the teams again. in ii. get to that in a moment and it is been billing for notjust the hours in the bill up to this game but for the last three weeks since real madrid and manchester city came through their quarterfinals respectively against chelsea and bayern munich to set up this repeat of last years semifinal. the astonishing turnaround for the 14 time champions meeting manchester city here in extra time to reach that final. so, much anticipation aboutjust how carlo ancelotti and pep guardiola would approach this rematch. the difference being that

this is the first leg and not the second leg so will it be fairly cagey? manchester city, as expected, they have gone for ederson in gold stones and ds we think will be at the heart of the defence. i canjeep probably on the left with kyle walker on the right with the tough job of keeping viniciusjunior quiet. bernardo silva and erling haaland and jack grealish i talk. erling haaland with 51 goes so far for matches city this season and they are calling their manic viniciusjunior, the magician. he will be in the front three of current business at karim benzema and roderigo. kick—off here is at 8pm you will be able to listen on five live, build up coming shortly on five life, but lets us leave you with pictures of the 60,000 fans

making their way into the burn about stadium. hello there. we've seen a real mixture of weather today, some warm sunshine coming through, but some torrential downpours as well. we had some heavier showers earlier in the day in wales. that was followed by the sunshine as the downpours with some thunder in there as well swept into the midlands and it's been pushing down towards the south east. a+and this is where we still have this yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. so these areas into the evening will continue to get some very heavy rain in places and some thunder and lightning, possibly some hail as well. those downpours in the south east do slowly fade away overnight. and then we see more cloud coming in from the atlantic. that's going to bring in frequent showers into northern ireland, into western scotland. head of that, some clearer skies. and so temperatures could be as low

as seven or eight degrees into wednesday morning. for many eastern areas, though, it will start dry, but we'll see more showers breaking out and, really, for the next couple of days, we've continue to see this mixture of sunny spells and some widespread heavy and perhaps thundery showers. we've got the dry start for many eastern areas, but the cloud will build up through the day. we'll see the showers breaking out. those could turn heavy and thundery, more especially across eastern parts of england. before those downpours arrive temperatures here could reach 18 degrees. but with those frequent showers and more cloud in northern ireland and western scotland, it's only going to be around 15 degrees here. and that same area of low pressure is just going to dawdle its way southwards. come to rest across the uk in time for thursday. the winds probably not quite as strong in the south west of england by this stage. and elsewhere, the winds are going to be light. so the showers that do develop again through the day more widely will be slow moving, heavy, potentially thundery as well. drying off more in the afternoon in northern ireland with some sunshine but staying quite cloudy in the north east of scotland. so cooler here. elsewhere, temperatures

will be around 16 degrees. a lot of showers then developing again on thursday. but that main area of low pressure drifts away on friday. high pressure starts to build in, starting to settle things down by the end of the week. now, we're still close enough to low pressure to bring the risk of some showers in the southeast. and there'll be a chilly wind blowing in off the north sea, bringing with it more cloud. the best of the sunshine across northern and western parts of the uk. so temperatures here could get up to 18 degrees again, but rather chilly around those north sea coasts.
