rob's children mesmerized by a story of friendship and kindness. 50, girls, we've had a special delivery. do you want to open it and see what it is? wow! oh, my gosh! look at this. wow. charlie mackesy has sent the family signed copies of his print. what does that picture mean to you? it means a really special time, because daddy will never forget the time that he finished this finish line with kevin. the say a picture paints a thousand words, don't they, and i think... that picture paints infinite words. it does. charlie mackesy is going to sell copies of this print for £30. he's donating £20 of each sale to help fund the new centre for mnd in rob's name. to give 20 of it to us isjust amazing. even if he gave us a lot less

than that, we'd still be grateful for it. if it was a pound, - we'd still be grateful. i am blown away by the picture created by the amazingly talented charlie mackesy. it shows love and care on a whole new level. thank you, charlie, it's the best picture i have ever seen. rob burrow there, ending that report by graham satchell. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. yes, lots of dry and bright weather to come today, but before that i thought we would look at yesterday, when we recorded 23.1; celsius in cardiff, the highest temperature of the year so far. but how does that compare with the recent mays? it is bottom of the league, recent mays have brought us much warmer weather, there has been no heat wave and there has been no heat wave and there will not be any time soon.

although warm weather is bringing up some sunshine, winds are coming from the atlantic rather than air from france or spain. looking at low to mid 20s over the last few days. cooler air across the country today and a little bit more cloud in the sky. those two factors combine to give a slightly lower temperatures but in the may sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm, the exception is northern scotland where a weak weather fronts will bring a bit of light and patchy rain, but not much. temperatures generally in the high teens some spots might sneak low 20. 0vernight, clearskies for teens some spots might sneak low 20. 0vernight, clear skies for the most part but another week weather fronts comes on across the north of scotland, it will not be significant, just say few patches, temperature seven to 9 degrees for most. we have rain coming across the north of scotland again, not much

from that, for most of the uk it is dry with further spells of may sunshine which will feel warm, temperature 22, maybe 23 towards parts of south and east wales, the west midlands and south—west of england. if you are outside for any length of time, it is worth bearing in mind the may sun is warm, high levels of uv, might be worth considering sun cream if you are outside for a length of time. thursday, more of the same, more dry weather and may sunshine and temperatures could creep up to about 23 celsius in the warmest spots. feeling warmer again. what about friday and the holiday weekend? high pressure is firmly in charge, the very warmest areas could see temperatures reach 2a celsius, the weather is set fair. but before i go i wanted to show you this, a typhoon which will become violent. where is

it going? guam. 180 mph, likely to lead to significant damage. thanks, chris. and that's bbc news at 0ne. time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are , goodbye hello, i'm sarah mulkerrins, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme. la liga has called for greater powers to take action in spain against racist behaviour. powers to take action in spain it follows wide—spread condemnation of the response to viniciuer�*s allegations of racist abuse at the weekend. 0llie robinson has given england a pre—ashes boost after being declared fit to face ireland in a warm—up next week, he had been struggling with an ankle problem. and suspended former wimbledon champion simona halep has criticised tennis�* doping authority after they delayed her latest hearing.

good afternoon. we begin with football and the ongoing story around racism in spain's top flight. la liga have today called for greater powers to take action spanish police have confirmed three people have been arrested after vinicius jr people have been arrested after viniciuer alleged he was a victim of racist abuse at the weekend. la liga have today called for greater powers to take action against racist incidents. the real madrid forward has been the target of racist abuse multiple times this season, and on sunday real�*s league match at valencia was paused in the second half after vinicius reported opposition fans to the referee. he went on to say on social media that the league "belonged to racists." in response la liga boss javier tebas claimed the player had not turned up to previous meetings scheduled to address the issue and should "better inform himself" before criticising la liga. former england and manchester city

player micah richards said he was disgusted by tebas�*s comments. javier has tried to make himself the victim in all of this. it's absolutely embarrassing the statement he's come outwith. it actually makes my blood boil. and that's part of the problem. that is actually part of the problem and it's notjust a football issue. it's just the life that people go through every single day. in a further statement viniciuer has called those who've sent him death threats as "inhuman". meanwhile in his hometown of rio de janeiro, the lights at the iconic christ the redeemer statue were turned off in solidarity with the player. pele�*s daughter is also among those to have also lent support to the player, saying spain, la liga and real madrid should be "ashamed" for not standing up for him. we'd had an updated

statement from la liga today in which they have "formally called for sanctioning powers to help it fight racism more effectively." they say... they added they feel "tremendous frustration at the lack of sanctions and convictions by the sports disciplinary bodies, public administrations and jurisdictional bodies to which it reports". newcastle fans may still be celebrating today after the club reached the champions league for the first time in 20 years. a 0—0 draw against leicester city last night was enough to guarentee them a top—fourfinish in the premier league and bbc sport's katie gornall was at the match. the celebrations have been a long time coming. after 20 years of waiting newcastle are back at europe's top table. their travels are about to get a lot more scenic. ecstatic.

i can't wait to go to some of these european games. i've been to madrid a couple of times for champions league games, so i can't wait to see us there in the black and white stripes. milan, barca, the names go on. it's something i've never experienced in my lifetime, but it's something that, it's a reality now. the atmosphere before kick—off gave an air of the inevitable. stjames�* park was ready for their manager to make history. at the other end leicester were fighting for their premier league lives. there could be no slip—ups. daniel iversen got away with one here. newcastle had ambition but not accuracy. so far, leicester's game plan was working. newcastle knew a draw would be enough, but they wanted more. it was turning into one of those nights. after dominating for so long, in the end newcastle were clinging on. it didn't matter. all anyone here cared about was where the night had taken them, not how they got here.

well, to discuss this achievement further i'm now joined by matthew raisbeck who was commentating on last night's match for bbc radio newcastle. matthew, it must have been an incredible night because for the fans this has been a long—time coming. its two decades since they last played in the champions league in ten years since newcastle had any kind of european football. i think in the more difficult times under the ownership of mike ashley, this would have felt1 million miles away and there will be a generation of newcastle supporters that have never seen a team compete at the top. they are back there on merit and it's a fitting reward for what's been a fantastic season. talk fitting reward for what's been a fantastic season.— fitting reward for what's been a fantastic season. talk to me about eddie howe- _ fantastic season. talk to me about eddie howe. we _ fantastic season. talk to me about eddie howe. we know— fantastic season. talk to me about eddie howe. we know that - fantastic season. talk to me about eddie howe. we know that he - fantastic season. talk to me about. eddie howe. we know that he came fantastic season. talk to me about - eddie howe. we know that he came in and around the same time as a new saudi owners who invested a lot of money into the club. what about the job eddie howe has done on the team and school squad to get them to

where they are? i and school squad to get them to where they are?— and school squad to get them to where they are? i think qualifying for the champions _ where they are? i think qualifying for the champions league - where they are? i think qualifying i for the champions league probably felt inevitable following the takeover but not this soon. they are way ahead of schedule. they have spent money on the transfer market, more than 200 million has been invested but they needed to do that last season to get away from relegation danger, which they did so successfully. then they added more quality last summer. but to get into the top four this year has seen them surpass all expectations. it isn't just about money and i think it's a triumph for coaching and management from eddie howe and his staff because if you look at the team that featured against leicester, seven of those players were there prior to the takeover, were inherited by eddie howe and he has improved the fortunes and careers of so many of those individuals and the likes of joel lynch, sean longstaff, have

been so central to what newcastle have done so well this season and not just have done so well this season and notjust individually. eddie howe has completely transformed their style of play from the defensive low block to a front foot, attacking, exciting team to watch and he is adored by the newcastle supporters and after this season, and last season keeping them up he's got so much credit in the bank. i season keeping them up he's got so much credit in the bank.— much credit in the bank. i wonder what that does _ much credit in the bank. i wonder what that does for _ much credit in the bank. i wonder what that does for potential - what that does for potential negotiations for new players over the summer. are you hearing anything, the fact newcastle are going to be in the champions league, that always adds to a club's status. i don't see them going back for any of the global superstars because that would be at odds with their strategic approach to transfers. and the message is always they are very conscious of the rules regarding financialfair conscious of the rules regarding financial fair play. conscious of the rules regarding financialfair play. but conscious of the rules regarding financial fair play. but the champions league means there will be more revenue coming into newcastle so they will have greater spending power than if they were in the

europa league for example. they need to add to their squad and will probably look at all areas because they'll need a group of players that will be able to be competitive in europe but also to cope with the extra matches in the premier league so they cannot lose any ground and try and stay in those top editions again next year.— former world number one simona halep has accused tennis' doping authority of "publicly stating one thing while privately doing another" after requesting a further delay to her hearing. halep was charged with a second doping offence last week over "irregularities" in her biological passport. the romanian, who claimed the wimbledon title back in 2019, has been suspended since october after testing positive for a banned substance at last year's us open. the second charge is separate to the one for which she is already suspended. halep denies the charges and said she is "extremely shocked and disappointed" by the attitude of the international tennis integrity agency. "i am entitled to a quick hearing. acting this way is contrary to my

rights," she stated on social media. in response the itia have said in a statement that they have proposed that both charges are heard together to avoid multiple hearings. and that to do this they "wish to provide all parties — including the independent tribunal — with sufficient time to consider the significant materials associated with the latest charge." the itia emphasise it is "ultimately a decision for the independent tribual and ms halep will have the opportunity to make her represenations to them." england seamer 0llie robinson is fit to play in the test against ireland at lords on the 1stjune after a scan revealed no damage to his ankle. robinson suffered discomfort during sussex�*s drawn county championship match with glamorgan at the weekend. he was seen using crutches and wearing a protective boot on his left ankle. a scan on monday came back clear which is a significant boost
