6:33 pm
it's after he was again racially abused by opposition fans — this time during his side's 1—0 defeat at valencia. sunday's game was paused in the 70th minute as vinicius tried to point out fans in the crowd to the referee who he believed were abusing him, some with monkey chants. he was ushered away by team—mates and valencia players before being spoken to by the referee and his manager carlo ancelotti. vinicius was then sent off deep in stoppage time for his involvement in a mass altercation between the two sets of players. valencia say they'll investigate and "take the most severe measures". bbc sport understands two fans have been identified and are expected to be given permanent stadium bans by valencia. it was vinicius being told to leave. it's not the first time vinicius has experienced racism in la liga. far from it. there've been several incidents this season alone. in september last year, some pundits in spain criticised vinicius' goal celebration, in which he danced by the corner flag.
6:34 pm
he responded by saying "the happiness of a black brazilian in europe" is behind the criticism. in december, vinicius appeared to be subjected to racist abuse at valladolid while he walked past fans after being substituted. la liga says it has filed charges relating to the abuse to the "relevant bodies". injanuary, an effigy of the real madrid winger was hung from a bridge near the club's training ground before a game against atletico madrid in the copa del rey. atletico said the incident was "repugnant". in a post on social media last night, vinicius wrote... la liga says it will investigate and take "appropriate legal action" if a hate crime is identified. its president javier tebas says, "neither spain nor la liga are racist, it is very unfair to say that." he also defended their record tackling abuse and criticised viniciusjuniorforfailing to engage with the league when asked
6:35 pm
to discuss the issue. piara powar is the head of the european football anti—discriminatory body fare and has criticised la liga and tebas' response. to have made a statement like that tells us really that the scale of the problem that we face, because the problem that we face, because the administrators themselves don't understand what their responsibilities are and how they need to be moving forward to tackle these issues. he has received a gamma of racist abuse and it seems that nobody in spain knows how to deal with it, or indeed how to make a statement that doesn't blame him. for more, i've been getting the thoughts of spanish football journalist guillem balague. who says what happened 21 shows things need to change —— what happened to vinicius. he's not being treated the way he

hello. many of us have seen quite a lot of sunshine today, and in that sunshine, it felt quite warm. there is more of the same to come — some spells of warm sunshine through the rest the week. certainly, it is going to be staying largely dry, but there'll be some areas of cloud around at times as well, and actually, that cloud produced some splashes of rain across parts of southeastern scotland, northeast england. there was another area of cloud across parts of eastern england that brought a few showers. and then, also on the satellite picture, you can see this zone of cloud pushing towards northern ireland and scotland. initially, this will be quite high cloud, so we will see some areas of cloud through the night. an old weather front sinking down into parts of east anglia, the midlands, southern england — that could give the odd spot of drizzle, but broadly speaking, it's a drier night with variable cloud, clear spells, temperatures typically 6—10 degrees. it mayjust get a little chillier than that briefly in one or two places. into tomorrow, high pressure's still with us, the high centred

out in the atlantic, but extending its influence towards our shores. frontal systems, though, running across the top of the high, introducing more cloud into northern and northwestern parts of scotland, maybe northern ireland, too. could just be the odd spot of rain or drizzle. further south into england and wales, sunny spells, bit of patchy cloud bubbling up through the afternoon and a very small chance of catching a shower, but the vast majority staying dry. 11 degrees for lerwick, 20 for cardiff — it is going to be a slightly cooler day for some, but whatever the temperatures are doing, if there is sunshine overhead, uv levels are likely to be moderate or high — the sun is strong at this time of year. into wednesday, there will be more of that strong sunshine, particularly across england, wales. northern ireland and scotland seeing a band of cloud, maybe some patchy rain, but it is largely going to be dry. slightly warmer, actually — 21 for newcastle, cardiff, london, 18 in belfast and 17 in glasgow. later in the week, high pressure's still with us, but it is likely
6:59 pm
to shuffle its way eastwards and centre itself on top of us at least for a time. now, depending on exactly what this area of high pressure does and how it changes shape, we may, as we get into the weekend and next week, tap into some slightly warmer air from the near continent. there is some uncertainty about that, but it certainly looks like staying largely dry, feeling warm in any sunshine.
