a catalogue of areas have led them to this point, but as the manager says, again can change very quickly. our correspondent takes a look at the chances of staying in the top tier. leicester city are running out of time in theirfight leicester city are running out of time in their fight to stay in the primarily but on three matches left to play. they are two points from safety after 21 the defeats and 20 games without so much as a clean sheet. it's been a sharp decline that has left some fans anticipating relegation after nine successive, often successful years in the top flight. it often successful years in the top fliuht. . , , often successful years in the top fliht. . , , ., often successful years in the top fli.ht. , ., , ., , flight. it has been a few years in the making. _ flight. it has been a few years in the making. it — flight. it has been a few years in the making, it hasn't _ flight. it has been a few years in the making, it hasn't been - flight. it has been a few years in the making, it hasn't been a - flight. it has been a few years in| the making, it hasn't been a one season issues, it's been a series of bad decisions from the top all the way down to the pitch the last couple of years. we finished eighth or above and all of those seasons, that might sound out of the ordinary, but in reality, we mist out on contracts, transfer windows, leadership qualities within the

6:37 pm
it would take them above everton and leeds and after tonight there are just two games left for all the clubs down there. u nfortu nately for unfortunately for southampton fans, their time has run out. their defeat means they will be regulated. in a statement, sport republic said they were saddened and frustrated, but that their goal was to return to the premier league as soon as possible. financially, the club is in real difficulty after reporting pre—tax losses of 6 million this season. above finance expert keegan mcguire says relegation means they will have to tighten their belts. southampton are likely to see their total revenue half at the very least, and the reason for that is the premier league tv deal is hugely lucrative. southampton made £150 million last season from that, and thatis million last season from that, and that is likely to drop to just over 40. that is likely to drop to just over a0. sponsors won't want to pay as
6:38 pm
much to have their front of shirt if southampton are playing against barnsley compared to chelsea or manchester united. so i think they will struggle in terms of commercial income to match the link that they have had previously. in terms of ticket sails, st mary's will sell out in all probability, but you want to be able to charge the same amount for hospitality. less money coming in, so therefore you have got to make a cut back, and the cutbacks will be in the form of players, some of whom will have relegation contracts. at the main concern from my point of view is the potential loss ofjobs which arises when clubs are relegated. let's ta ke let's take it to spain. barcelona are the la liga champions for the first time since lionel messi left the club two years ago. their a—2 win over espanyol ensured them an unassailable ia—point lead over closest rivals real madrid, handing them the league title.
6:39 pm
but the match was marred by espanyol fans storming the pitch at full time, forcing the barca players to head for their dressing room. manager xavi described it as an emotional moment, particularly as the club is struggling financially. they say that it's great they can celebrate after such a tough period. thousands of fans around the city, because it is like an island in the middle of the ocean, an ocean of financial problems and now, suddenly, two la liga titles, one for the women, one for the men. this is something that allows us to say openly that this team has come back at least. we openly that this team has come back at least. ~ . ., ., at least. we will come to the financial issues _ at least. we will come to the financial issues in _ at least. we will come to the financial issues in just - at least. we will come to the financial issues in just a - at least. we will come to the - financial issues in just a moment, financial issues injust a moment, but has the difference in performance for the men's team then the changes thatjob he has made to the changes thatjob he has made to

of their fans as we can. a 3—0 victory over eagles on sunday gave them their 16th title in history. schoolchildren who weren't sitting exams were given the day off to enjoy the party. england under 20s have travelled to argentina for the world cup after winning last year's under 19 championship. they played theirfirst match under 19 championship. they played their first match against tunisia on monday. england under 20 coach ian foster says it's a huge event and can kick—start a football or�*s career. i think historically, the tournament, we've looked back — maradona played in his tournaments, messi played in it, and recently haaland played and it. we know top—end players have played in this competition, and it can be a stepping stone to a bigger, better
6:44 pm
things. we know the likes of conor cody and harry kane, these types of players have had experience with the under 20 world cup, and they'll all tell you how valuable it was in their development. we just want our players to get argentina and give a good account for themselves, and you never know where it could take you. meet the woman who lifts twice her body weight and has fought to change clothing rules empower women —— powerlifting for muslim women. bitten powerlifting for muslim women. aiken brint sti t ma powerlifting for muslim women. aiken bring stigma where _ powerlifting for muslim women. aiken bring stigma where you _ powerlifting for muslim women. «get bring stigma where you see the hit job and people can see it as a barrier, but it's more an empowerment than anything else. there is confusion at the very top of rugby league tonight as france — the host nation for the 2025 world cup — has confirmed they have pulled out of staging the tournament. 0rganisers now say they can't guarantee the financial viability of the tournament.
6:45 pm
it's been described by many as a disaster for the sport. joining us now is our rugby league correspondent dave woods. i asked him if this was a shock. there had been rumblings for a time, one of the host cities, evan yon, pulled out about a month ago. the french government had set conditions of financial viability, and they wanted reassurances on those, and they gave the organisers extra time to prove it, but they've not been able to, they've not been able to find anyone to underwrite the competition financially, and because of the financial restrictions that we all seem to be under at the moment, it was decided it was a risk that wasn't worth taking, so the international rugby league have decided to make the decision now to jettison the 2025 world cup. ishiliidi jettison the 2025 world cup. which sounds pretty _ jettison the 2025 world cup. which sounds pretty disastrous _ jettison the 2025 world cup. which sounds pretty disastrous for - jettison the 2025 world cup. which sounds pretty disastrous for the sport. who is likely to step in?
6:46 pm
it's disastrous for french rugby league. they were the first nation to host a rugby league world cup, the first ever — it was seen as revolutionary, but this will be the first time they've hosted the tournament sense, and it was a chance to grow the domestic game and bring them to the international table as a much more effective force. so that's been lost, and that's really disappointing. i think the next step now is the rl will convene on wednesday and take some soundings — the likeliest outcome will be knew world cup into a 25, but it'll be put to 2026 with the a favourites australia or new zealand to host, because you think about how strong the pacific nations are, tonga, samoa, finalists last year, fiji and papua new guinea, and huge swathes of support in both australia and new zealand would make it a very viable competition in 2026. so

6:48 pm
latch on and make french rugby league strong again as it was just before and just after the second world war. but unfortunately this opportunity has passed by. dame world war. but unfortunately this opportunity has passed by. dave wood s-teakin to opportunity has passed by. dave wood speaking to me _ opportunity has passed by. dave wood speaking to me earlier. _ he was forced to give up the pink jersey after becoming the latest victim of covid and the tour, and he admits it might be going back to the safety when covid was in place a few years ago sub villages go back to what we used to do, really, when covid was 2020—21 when we were in our own bubbles, wearing masks, this and that and public spaces, so i guess as a team we will go back to that sort of strategy, and i guess if everybody in the race does the same thing, then hopefully it will stop the writers met going home
6:49 pm
because it's a huge loss losing any rides, but especially world champion and remco, it's really disappointing for the race —— writer two. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. england name their team for the first test of the summer tomorrow, but could be without all—time record wicket takerjames anderson, who picked up a groin strain playing for lancashire. the first test against ireland starts on the first ofjune at lords, before the ashes later that month. ja morant has been suspended from all activities with the memphis grizzlies after brandishing a gun on social media for the second time in two months. back in march, he was caught holding a gun in a video that sparked a police investigation and an eight game suspension by the nba. roll number two carlos alcaraz crashing out of the last 32 stage

hello there. last week was pretty lively weather—wise — we saw some frequent thundery downpours in places. but this week is looking much quieter weather—wise. we will see those temperatures go up a little bit day upon day — and actually for most of us, not really much in the way of rain in the forecast. today then, it has been on the chillier side, that's because we've got this northwesterly breeze feeding in. and for most, it was a case of some sunny spells and patchy cloud, more scenes like these to come in the coming days. so through the course of tonight, then, i think most of those daytime showers will tend to fade away, leaving large parts of the country with some drier, clearer conditions. the only real exception being parts of scotland, where we'll see a bit more cloud and some showery outbreaks of rain. it'll be a chilly one under those clear skies, too, overnight lows, typically around 3—6 celsius across the board, setting us up with a chilly start
