: what iwhat is still will be coming in off what is still quite a chilly sea. tomorrow, for example, east coast of england, iii degrees, with some shelter in south wales, highs of 22 are possible. right now we have got a band of cloud which will continue to work southwards through the night, but for the majority it is dry with some clear spells and after what has been a relatively warm day, we have had 20 degrees or more in parts of highland scotland, overnight tonight, the temperatures will drop down to freezing, only briefly. tomorrow we will have some of the best of the sunshine i think across the north and the west of scotland although it will be quite windy in the far north. for northern ireland, england and wales, some cloud at times, equally some sunny spells, but as i have already mentioned, the highest temperatures will be where we have some shelter from the wind, south wales and south—west england. 0n south wales and south—west england. on friday and at the weekend, the

high pressure hose eastwards, the wind direction will tend to shift around a bit and at times they're of our coasts, where the wind is coming off the chilly sea, aberdeen, for example, just 13 degrees, feeling quite cool despite the sunshine, but with some shelter, going through the weekend, some of us are likely to see temperatures up to 22—23, it will stay mostly dry with some thanks, ben. 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 hugh farris. the headlines a season evening... and other england squad without raheem sterling, but it is one of the other players, ivan

welcome along to sportsday. a strange football season is coming to an end. followed by the fa cup and shame and seek final, but in mid june there will still be some international games to fill in before all is said and done. gareth southgate has named his squad for england's euro 2024 qualifiers against malta and north macedonia. raheem sterling is one of those left out, whilst in comes both lewis dunk, the brighton centre back whose only other international appearance was in 2018, and also crystal palace's average esa, the one uncapped player who is very strong despite the timing of the fixtures. isa is a very odd situation, it comes 19 days after the premier league game

ends —— season ends, so gareth southgate says they'll manage the players loaded and trying to keep them fit and prepared for that. but not only has he got players not playing football, he has quite a few of his squad, the manchester city players, involved in the champions league, so they'll play that final a couple days before the england squad join up and prepare for that match. so it'll be interesting to see what he does, but gareth southgate says he does, but gareth southgate says he was always going to name a strong team. they started the campaign really well against italy and ukraine, and they don't want to let it slip — although these matches are against malta and north macedonia, countries on paper who they should beat, he said they want to back up the good start today in european qualifiers, by naming the strongest squad in getting the points on the ward. h0 squad in getting the points on the ward. ., , ., ., ., , , ward. no place for ivan toney, this is the first england _ ward. no place for ivan toney, this is the first england squad - ward. no place for ivan toney, this i is the first england squad announced since his eight month band for breaching betting rules — yet it was interesting to hear southgate, who

could have perhaps dodged the question or equivocated about a potential international future for ivan toney, he didn't at all? he definitel ivan toney, he didn't at all? he: definitely didn't, he actually asked him the question about ivan toney — gareth southgate was very strong about the band that ivan toney is being given, he said he doesn't think that's how rehabilitation should work, but he did allude to once the striker gets back to playing, if he's in good form and scoring goals, he will be considered for the european championships in germany next year. what bothers me is we've got to look after people, and he's injured at the moment, but does he do about getting _ the moment, but does he do about getting fit? i don't like the idea that we — getting fit? i don't like the idea that we just leave somebody, that they are _ that we just leave somebody, that they are not allowed to be part of they are not allowed to be part of the football community. i don't think that's how we should work, i don't _ think that's how we should work, i don't think— think that's how we should work, i don't think that's how the best rehabilitation programmes would work _ rehabilitation programmes would work. but he knows that we picked him because we felt, until there was a charge, _ him because we felt, until there was a charge, he — him because we felt, until there was a charge, he should be allowed to

play. _ a charge, he should be allowed to play. and — a charge, he should be allowed to play, and when he comes back if he plays _ play, and when he comes back if he plays well, — play, and when he comes back if he plays well, we will pick him.- plays well, we will pick him. gareth south . ate plays well, we will pick him. gareth southgate on _ plays well, we will pick him. gareth southgate on the _ plays well, we will pick him. gareth southgate on the future _ plays well, we will pick him. gareth southgate on the future of - plays well, we will pick him. gareth southgate on the future of ivan - southgate on the future of ivan toney and how he thinks the band should be dealt with. one of the big names missing from this england squad was raheem sterling. southgate said it was a mutual desertion and sterling doesn't feel like he would be fit enough to get the level needed for england —— a mutual decision. the manager said they want to get points on the board to make sure they are in germany next summer. we will hear from gareth southgate before the end of the programme. five mentors is your city squad players who could be on the field. brighton are guaranteed football for this time, whilst pep guardiola says he's expecting an inevitable drop off and his team after securing the title over the weekend, but he also insists he wants those 115 premier

league financial charges against the club to be dealt with as soon as possible. city denies any wrongdoing in a case that's been predicted to take years to resolve. if it happens, it happens. so let's 90, if it happens, it happens. so let's go, come on, 24 hours, sit down and talk, both sides and lawyers present. don't wait two years, do it quickly, come on. as soon as possible, for the benefit of everyone. but i know there are many because cases around the world, but hopefully we can do as soon as possible. hopefully we can do as soon as ossible. , , hopefully we can do as soon as ossible. , _ :, , :, possible. finishes junior is not -la in: possible. finishes junior is not playing since _ possible. finishes junior is not playing since his _ possible. finishes junior is not playing since his first - possible. finishes junior is not playing since his first game... | possible. finishes junior is not i playing since his first game... he was sent off but even though the red league had the red card rescinded, carlo ancelotti says the forward has a knee injury and that's why he's

not playing. guy, yesterday we had arrests, now the league have punished the club who supporters abused viniciusjunior on sunday. that's right, valencia are facing a sanction which involves five games with their stand at the stadium being closed down for those five games, also a 45,000 euros fine. because of the racist abuse some of their fans aimed at finishes over the weekend, the club itself has responded rather angrily over the weekend, saying this is an unfair and disproportionate sanction against the club, it says it has already banned for life the fans who are involved and this is unfairly punishing all the other fans who were not involved in the racist abuse. the club did also say it condemns

racism and the racist abuse that took place on sunday. it’s took place on sunday. it's interesting _ took place on sunday. it's interesting because finishesjunior interesting because finishes junior and interesting because finishesjunior and his fans interesting because finishes junior and his fans have wanted a proportionate reaction from the authorities. what this has had is an extra day reaction globally to the abuse he's been suffering. —— viniciusjunior. abuse he's been suffering. -- vinicius junior.— abuse he's been suffering. -- vinicius junior. there has been a ulobal vinicius junior. there has been a global story. _ vinicius junior. there has been a global story. we _ vinicius junior. there has been a global story, we heard _ vinicius junior. there has been a global story, we heard from - vinicius junior. there has been a i global story, we heard from gareth southgate early on talking about this, he said it's a disgusting situation, but he also said the fact that it's been such an international story and it's gone round the world so quickly, he hopes that will bring about some real change in terms of racism in the sport. you have to remember that this really first came to life on the international stage because the brazilian president talked about it at the g7 summit after the game took place, and

brazil has been very much involved in talking to the spanish authorities, criticising spain in many cases. the statue of christ the redeemer in rio dejaneiro, the lights were dimmed for a time on monday night in solidarity with the finishes, as well. so it's been an international story, we heard today from the un's high commissionerfor human rights talk about it, as well —— viniciusjunior. the feeling that there is an international dimension to the story has been contributing a lot to the pressure on spanish authorities to act firmly and swiftly. authorities to act firmly and swiftl . , , :, ~ authorities to act firmly and swiftl. , , :, ~' authorities to act firmly and swiftl. , , ., , authorities to act firmly and swiftl. :, , . swiftly. guy, thank you very much indeed. it could be the last chance for dundee united to save themselves from relegation, three points separate the bottom three going into the night's game involving two of them, looking ahead to the penultimate games and also the possibility of dundee united going

down. that's the question on everyone's clips here, because it's a distinct possibility. there's only three sets in the scottish premiership and its bottom side dundee united here at home to third bottom kilmarnock — if dundee lose to kilmarnock and ross county winning against stjohnstone, those two results would mean dundee united would be relegated this evening. it is tight at the bottom of the table, if they can cancel out all the other noise by simply winning this match tonight, then they know they will live to fight another day. we're not expecting steven fletcher to be fit to play, and we understand there may be a big role for the substitute goalkeeper, young jack newman, 21 years old, there's questions about the usual keeper starts tonight or whether jack newman will be put in for what will be the biggest match of his

career. dundee's premiership future could be on the line this evening. and matters further up the table, european places could be sorted out today, and before the weekend? absolutely, and that will happen if aberdeen win tonight, if they win at home to saint marron and hartz failed to beat rangers at ibrox, that'll be a tough test for glasgow. they are forth, chasing third place, aberdeen have a couple point cushion, making a real good go — recently confirmed as aberdeen's manager for the recently confirmed as aberdeen's managerfor the next recently confirmed as aberdeen's manager for the next couple years, they did a fine job and what would it mean for him to get through? is the guarantee of group stage football next season, third place in the premiership, getting a crack at the premiership, getting a crack at the qualifiers for the europa league, and if that doesn't go exactly to plan, not to worry too much because there's that guaranteed

parachute of the conference league group stage football right up until the new year. that's the carrot for aberdeen or hearts, likely to clinch that third place pot, and that could be decided by two results tonight. if aberdeen win and hearts don't, then it's barry watson's site and supporters who need to look at the passport. the weather is better in dundee than madrid this evening. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. ruben sellars ruben sella rs has ruben sellars has been their third manager of the campaign which will finish with them bottom of the perley table, there close to announcing the appointment of russell martin as his replacement. he's resigned as manager of the dutch club psv eindhoven despite leaving them to the cup and the potential second—place finish. the former striker has left with a game to go of their league season. and

frank kirby's chelsea contract has been extended by a year to 2024, she was part of the euros but will miss this year's euro cup for the lionesses as she suffered an injury in march. —— a knee injury in march. hopes are still high, garrett thomas finished in the pinkjersey today but the headlines came from the final sprint as the home favourite alberto dunn az came out with the tightest of finishes. michael redford reports. this year's jerrod this year'sjerrod italia has been taunted by the weather and its withdrawals. but the finish line is now in sight. every stage matters that little bit more, especially for two british writers, garrett thomas has a lead to protect, the pink jersey to keep hold of. for mark

cavendish, a chance of yet another sprint to victory. that opportunity would take a while to arrive. for long periods, this was a stage that felt flat, almost futile until the final moment. as the kilometres ticked down, the speed read and up. but not for cavendish, he was of the pace. milan definitely wasn't. charging through the field, he splinted for the line —— sprinted for the line. 50 splinted for the line -- sprinted for the line.— splinted for the line -- sprinted for the line.- the - splinted for the line -- sprinted i for the line.- the slowest for the line. so close! the slowest of sta . es for the line. so close! the slowest of stages had _ for the line. so close! the slowest of stages had suddenly _ for the line. so close! the slowest of stages had suddenly got - for the line. so close! the slowest of stages had suddenly got the i for the line. so close! the slowest i of stages had suddenly got the most frantic of finishes. much more comfortable for thomas who finished comfortably in the palatine. he finishes that keeps the overall lead with four stages to go. michael redford, bbc news. it's an invitational match and caps won't be awarded, but there's a good deal of intrigue about the game between the barbarians and a world 15 at twickenham on sunday.

that partly because of the team announcements today, with a notable selection on either side. israel folau will start for the world 15. the controversial wing was sacked by rugby australia four years ago for making anti—gay comments on social media. and a week after his own international retirement, alun wynjones will captain the bar—bars. 0ur rugby reporter sara 0rchard has been to see their coach eddie jones today. alun wyn jones alun wynjones leaving out the barbarians was always going to steal all the headlines. the coach of the barbarians, eddiejames, admitted he didn't know about that big retirement announcement, and his playing namesake hasn't even spoken to the press today, which a lot of people were disappointed, they wanted to hear from people were disappointed, they wanted to hearfrom him. but eddie jones described alun wynjones as a player he hated coaching against, but he loves having on his team. he added it was a very easy choice for him to select the welshman as his captain on sunday. he him to select the welshman as his captain on sunday.— him to select the welshman as his captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we — captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we got, _ captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we got, so _ captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we got, so he _ captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we got, so he was - captain on sunday. he was one of the first ones we got, so he was always l first ones we got, so he was always in. it's interesting because when your coaching england against wales, wales are fairly traditional of a

rival. and he was the sort of player that you hated when you coached against them, but when he got on his team, you love him. this against them, but when he got on his team, you love him.— team, you love him. as far as the world 15 is — team, you love him. as far as the world 15 is concerned, _ team, you love him. as far as the world 15 is concerned, israel- team, you love him. as far as the world 15 is concerned, israel fell. world 15 is concerned, israel fell out has doc is playing and there's been a fierce debate over the last few days as we knew he would be involved about his participation. he was involved about his participation. he: was famously sacked by rugby australia back in 2019 for making anti—gay comments on social media. he's actually expected to represent congo at the fast approaching world cup later this year after he switched allegiance. steve hansen said yesterday that his selection could be seen as a positive thing, because the rugby football union have decided to fly the pride flag over twickenham this sunday will stop now even today the rfu chairman has made a statement online saying that the rugby football union supports the lgbtq plus community. we mustn't forget that a number of

the england women's players who are part of that community, including their captain, marley packer. sunday itself will mark the first time eddie jones itself will mark the first time eddiejones himself itself will mark the first time eddie jones himself will walk itself will mark the first time eddiejones himself will walk back into twickenham after he was sacked by the rugby football union as the england head coachjust last england head coach just last december. england head coachjust last december. i asked england head coachjust last december. iasked him how england head coachjust last december. i asked him how he was feeling about walking back into the door, and he did tell me he is going to love it. the eliminators between the super giants in the mumbai indians who finished third and fourth respectively in the table. mumbai batted first, cameron green led the way, topping 41 is mumbai... england's chrisjordan amongst the wickets as the super giants were bowled out for just 101 wickets as the super giants were bowled out forjust 101 in the last few minutes. mumbai will play the gujarat titans for a place in the

final on friday. jan sportsday, today in cricket, josh tung has been added to the england's squad. the four—day match starts a week from tomorrow. —— at lourdes. honda will return to formula 1 and three years' time as engine partner for the aston martin team. they pulled out of the sport at the end of 2021, but honda said today that f1's pursuit of carbon neutrality by 2030 was the key factor behind its decision to reenter officially. liam smith's rematch with chris eubanksjunior has been postponed again. he had already been pushed back from 17 june. smith beat eubanksjunior in january as a nine minor injury.

a near £16.5 million loss in 2022, the governing body of tennis also contributed to the deficit of inflationary pressures with the cost of turning on tournaments rising significantly. men's and women's tourfind the significantly. men's and women's tour find the lta a total of £4 million for preventing them from appearing, a decision which has been reversed. french open qualifying, not a good day for british players in paris. harriet dart is out, beaten in the second round. dart took the second set but the world number 175 rallied back in front of the home crowd to progress to the final round of qualified tournaments. katie boulter also out, she came from a set down 5—2 and decided to force a tie—break against ashley

kruger, but lost10—6. force a tie—break against ashley kruger, but lost 10—6. those results means there will be no british women in the room and garros this year. the nfl�*s presence in the uk has been growing in increments over recent years, given the jacksonville jaguars back to back matches in london. whilst it could help pave the way for a future franchise here in the uk, it seems the direction of travel is notjust one way. the nfl academy in loughborough is attempting to provide the sport with players plucked from outside america, in the latest example,... the leafy sports grounds of loughborough university are far removed from the nfl�*s glitz and glamour. but foramerican removed from the nfl�*s glitz and glamour. but for american football hopefuls, this is where the journey can begin. it's here at the nfl academy that counted players from the uk and beyond come to hone their

called unified football. the british team will take part in the special olympics next month, and joe wilson has been to meet them. these footballers have an intellectual disability — and these don't. put them together in a team, and where's the difference? that's unified football, great britain's squad. i never thought i'd be able to get to this point in my life, because i struggled with finding jobs, struggling in socialising, so i never thought i'd get the opportunity to come here. some people feel like they're not welcome in a group with people that haven't got an intellectual disability, so they shut themselves away. so it's nice to interact with people to make you feel like you're welcome. the mainstream players here are students from the university of hertfordshire, selected so the football ability standard through the whole squad is similar. the principle really is this is the quickest way to promoting social inclusion. so, breaking down barriers and just getting people on the pitch together with no responsibility other than playing football together. building friendships just happens so much quicker. it's the best form of coaching i've ever done. and look — the england manager.

the fa provided their training base, the league managers' association the expertise. but gareth southgate was also here to learn about unified football, as he told me. it's not a concept i'd heard of previously. but the idea that we all gain from mixing with and learning from each other i think is really rich. and i can see the excitement of the team and and also the challenge for everybody of how can we work together, how can we find ways of working together that i think will go way beyond what happens in the next few weeks for them as a team and into their everyday lives. can we see the training sessions? scotland's manager steve clarke is [ending his support, too. something big must be happening soon. you're going! next month it's the special olympics in berlin. here's the moment whenjack venturini discovered he'd been selected.

even chewie's celebrating, look! i was just in tears. my dog was jumping all over me and everything. but i was so happy to be picked for great britain. and yeah, just outstanding to be here with all of the lads. that's it. play to win, play for britain. but most of all, play for unity. joe wilson, bbc news, st george's park. we will follow their progress with great interest. that's all from sportsday. coverage against brighton city in that big night in scottish league, and if you want to see the full england squad announced by gareth southgate today, it's right there for you. that's it, bye—bye for now. hello. we've seen some spectacular

sunrise and sunset pictures over the last 24 hours, like this one from warwickshire. now a lot of the cloud you could see here is actually aeroplane contrails — in other words, the water that comes out of the back of aeroplane engines turns to ice crystals to make these clouds. now the contrails can last for many, many hours if there's a lot of moisture in the atmosphere seven miles above our head, the height aeroplanes fly — that's exactly what's been going on. however, through today, we've seen those contrails blow towards france, at the same time, we've had some drier air seven miles up in the atmosphere working across england and wales. in other words, those contrails are not going to be quite as widespread, nor as long—lived over the next couple of days. now, today, we've seen lots of warm weather. the temperatures quite widely across the midlands, south and east wales, southern england reached the low 20s, and we've got more of the same to come, as well. now, overnight tonight, we'll keep clear skies, just a few patches of cloud drifting southwards across parts of england. the skies clearing in scotland to give some colder weather here, with temperatures dipping down into low single figures in the coldest areas

as we head into the first part of thursday morning. but essentially, the weather won't change a whole lot over the next few days, thanks to this big area of high pressure. the winds continue to come around that from the atlantic, so temperatures aren't going to change a great deal either. thursday then, perhaps a little bit more in the way of cloud across central and eastern england, but still some spells of sunshine. and at the same time, there should be more in the way of sunshine to look forward to in scotland. wherever you are, our temperatures are likely to reach the high teens to low 20s pretty widely, and will likely peak at around 23 for southeast wales, the west midlands, and southwest england. how warm's 23? well, compared with warm spells we've seen over recent mays, 23 kind of puts us right at the bottom of the pile. more often than not, more spells at this time of year bring those two pictures into the mid—to—high 20s. now for friday, there's again little overall change in the big weather picture. a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine around. this time, probably less cloud for eastern england, a bit more cloud for scotland, where there could be an odd passing spot of rain in the northwest.

but for the vast majority, it's dry and it's warm in the may sunshine, with temperatures again in high teens to low 20s. and this fine, sunny, settled spell of weather is set to last throughout the bank holiday weekend and into the early part of the new week, as well. that's the latest, bye for now.
