it was another dramatic weekend at the top and bottom of the premier league — and there's more to come this evening, with leicester city taking on liverpool at the king power. leicester were resoundly beaten by fulham last monday and go into this one inside the relegation zone. victory, though, moves them out of the bottom three, but they face a liverpool side whose recent form has kept them in touch with the champions league places. they have just won, i think, six games on the spin. you look at that and you go, "yes ,it�*s a tough time to face them." they haven't won as many games on the road as they normally do.

i think in the premier league i think i'm right that they haven't only taken ten points in the last 30. we have got to make sure that we are a brighton or brentford for performance against them, who can get a result against them. arsenal captain martin odegaard says it's going to be �*very difficult' for his side to win the title — after losing 3—0 at home to brighton. a result effectively killing off arsenal's challenge for a first league title in nearly 20 years. it leaves the top of the premier league looking like this, with the gunners four points behind leaders manchester city, having played a game more. while not mathematically over — city could become champions without playing on saturday — if arsenal lose at nottingham forest. city then play chelsea on sunday. the word bottle it annoys me to be honest because it really did raise what arsenal has done this season. anyone would have taken up for and

never mind finishing second in going all the way to the end of the season, still being in competition with man city. at the end of the season, it seems to click into this mode where they just season, it seems to click into this mode where theyjust don't lose. barcelona's head coach xavi says his club are on the rise again after sealing a first la liga title since 2019. they beat local rivals espanyol 4—2 to seal it with four games to spare. but some espanyol fans invaded the pitch during barca's full—time celebrations, meaning the players took the party on to the dressing room. they are currently 1a points clear of real madrid, making this one of the most convincing la liga title wins of recent years, but it comes amid financial uncertainty at barca. they are set to move to a temporary stadium next season — while the camp nou undergoes extensive redevelopment. translation: it is bassa's league. a bar so that is going and coming back. we need to keep going, it was

great work from the team. i am here to help guide them and make sure they work as a group. jayson tatum's game—winning performance helped the boston celtics seal their spot in the nba's eastern conference finals after getting the better of the philadelphia 76ers. tatum's 51 points beat the game 7 record held by steph curry. the celtics won 112—88, and win the series 4—3. boston will now face the miami heat — the team they they beat in seven games in last year's conference finals, with the openig game later this week. and it's a rest day at the giro d'italia, but even without the riders out on the course the order at the top of the general classification has all changed today. that's becase the race leader, remco evenepoel has been forced to pull out after testing positive for covid. it means britain's geraint thomas now holds the lead — two seconds up on primoz roglic. tao geoghehan hart, who won this event three years ago, moves up to the third in the standings. and that's all the sport for now.

introduced generous changes to pension taxation. the bma said there had been hopes the latest pay offer by the government would address the previous loss in pay, but it represented another real—terms cut. details of the offer have not been revealed. so consultants have seen their pay fall in real terms every yearfor15 years, and it's really got to the point where it's having a massive impact on not only recruitment of consultants, but also retention. we're seeing consultants leave in large numbers, and this is having a really big impact on the nhs and on patients. the union is urging members to vote for industrial action. sources say this could involve action short of a strike. as for nurses, they're being balloted on taking further strike action in england. the royal college of nursing annual conference begins today. the leadership says members rejected

hello there. in contrast to last week, this week is looking much, much quieter. now it's quite a cold start to the week. it's quite chilly out there today. gradually, it gets a little bit warmer day by day over the week ahead. and whilst there are some showers around, its nowhere near as wet as it was last week. we've had this band of cloud overnight push south eastwards across the uk. that didn't produce much rain. following on from that, there are a few showers and we've got the winds more from the north or northwest, bringing in a chillier air. and within that chillier air we've seen the cloud building up today. for the most part, there's not a great deal of depth to the cloud, so there's a lot of dry weather around. but there's the chillier air. these are the temperatures that we've got. so 22 degrees in london yesterday, 15 today. a few showers dotted about late afternoon into the early evening, particularly across eastern scotland and northeast england.
2:57 pm
those will decay, though, overnight. skies will clear for the most part and the winds will drop as well, except in northern scotland where we've got more cloud and showers later. so here, not as cold as it was last night. otherwise, a chilly four orfive degrees, perhaps, first thing on tuesday morning, where many places will start dry and sunny. but we do have more cloud in scotland with some showers. that will move down across the country, bringing some showers into northern england. elsewhere, we'll see the cloud bubbling up and spreading out a little bit, but it should stay dry. the winds won't be as strong tomorrow. it won't feel as cold tomorrow. and those temperatures creeping up by a degree or so, up to 16 or 17 degrees. now, things are going to be fairly quiet because high pressure is going to be building in across the uk. now, around the top of that area of high pressure, we do have a weather front which will bring this rain into northern scotland on wednesday. 0therwise, plenty of sunshine to begin with. again, the cloud builds up and it could just be thick enough to give
2:58 pm
one or two light showers through lincolnshire, east anglia and the south east of england. but again, its continuing to get a little bit warmer day by day, 17 or 18 degrees, but still quite chilly across northern parts of scotland. we do have high pressure, though, extending across the uk through the rest of the week. that's bringing in these higher temperatures. but occasionally these weather fronts will move down from the northwest and this is where we're more likely to have some showers. but having said that, there aren't too many of those over the week ahead. some spells of sunshine at times. by the end of the week, temperatures are 19 or 20 celsius.
