of eastern england heading into the first part of wednesday morning. it will still be predominantly dry for most of us. cool north—easterly winds with us and better prospects for the cloud break—up from the west and south. we should see some sunshine but the cloud might linger again toward associate in coastal counties. 15 or 16 if that happens but otherwise more widely we should see temperatures climbing into the low 20s. warning for hay fever sufferers, high levels of grass pollen tomorrow across parts of vineyard and wales so it could be one of those days. there is day the trend to sunnier weather continues. less morning cloud and more sunshine in the afternoon. another dry day. the highest temperatures will be across western areas of the country. we will see a change in the weather. increasingly humid at the weekend and then big showers breaking out and then big showers breaking out and some of us will see the first rain for many weeks.

6:34 pm
became a sport so splintered. golf is a sport unaccustomed to revolution but a year ago a new saudi back to take it along a very different trajectory. liv golf arrived on the scene lastjune off huge amounts of cash to the games top players to get them to take part in new events organised outside the two existing major tors, the bga and the dp world tour. immediately there was criticism of those who join for damaging their sport and accepting money sourced from a saudi regime that's been condemned for its human rights record. i that's been condemned for its human rights record-— rights record. i don't condone human riahts rights record. i don't condone human rights violations _ rights record. i don't condone human rights violations for _ rights record. i don't condone human rights violations for that _ rights record. i don't condone human rights violations for that i _ rights record. i don't condone human rights violations for that i don't - rights violations for that i don't know how i can be any more clear. they see the opportunity for liv golf to do a lot a good of the game throughout the world and i'm excited to be a part of this opportunity. i5 to be a part of this opportunity. is there anyway you wouldn't play on a moral basis the money was right, is there anyway wouldn't play? i

6:37 pm
all of the best players being taken away. they had to dig deep into their pockets to come up with their own string of lucrative tournaments to fend off the threat of liv. now we have this cordiality, we have disagreement and the calling off of expensive and lengthy legal action as well. it expensive and lengthy legal action as well. . , , ., as well. it really is an extraordinary - as well. it really is an - extraordinary turnaround. we as well. it really is an _ extraordinary turnaround. we see from the press release at the money might come from saudi arabia still but the pga tour might retain the administrative control, if you like. at the centre of this there are a group of players, some of which have been incredibly acrimonious towards each other. and now they will be in the same fields playing against each other again? we the same fields playing against each other again?— other again? we have seen that the -la ers other again? we have seen that the players can — other again? we have seen that the players can get _ other again? we have seen that the players can get along _ other again? we have seen that the players can get along fine _ other again? we have seen that the players can get along fine when - other again? we have seen that the | players can get along fine when they are playing for the biggest prizes. money is the massive driver here. the likes of rory mcelroy and sergio garcia bring the liv set up, they used to be best friends, mcelroy was
6:38 pm
a groom at garcia's wedding. they now don't speak. that sort of thing will be shipped to 1's side. what we wait to see is what shape men's golf is going to take going forward. they will be going forward with a significant cash investment from saudi arabia as part of the backbone financing it. aha, saudi arabia as part of the backbone financin: it. �* , ., financing it. a number of considerable _ financing it. a number of considerable questions l financing it. a number of i considerable questions that understandably are yet to be answered. one that rises to the top apart from the player issue is the competition issue. liv runs a 5k hole tournament over three days with teams. it's 72 holes individually in the pga and dp world tour will they play everything all of the time? they will have to thrash out the calendar. the dp world tour and the pga tour had said today that they see the merits in the team format. they see also that liv have been transformative liquid for golf. that's an extraordinary climb—down given how they have criticised the
6:39 pm
54 given how they have criticised the 5a hole four between two team element to it. the whole notion of liv being a worthwhile enterprise. now they're saying transformative. what i think we can conclude is that the complexion of men's professional golf going forward is going to radically alter.— radically alter. that is the analysis _ radically alter. that is the analysis of _ radically alter. that is the analysis of our _ radically alter. that is the analysis of our golf - correspondent for the the arm and the deal saying it will help move men's golf in a constructive and innovative fashion. the players or at least some of them seem less convinced. indeed they appear to have been blindsided by the announcement. saying... american golfer also said... and a six time

6:43 pm
eight life ban is hard to come by wound legally, it's always a challenge. in this instance i'm very pleased to see that the outcome of the commission today has delivered that. spurs have made their managerial move. they've appointed ange postecoglou, who signs a four year deal and joins from celtic — becoming the first australian to take charge of a premier league team. in fact his whole story is pretty remarkable. born in athens he left at the age of five to emigrate to australia with his family the chief bond with his dad was football and after watching and then playing for the team set up for greek immigrants, south melbourne hellas. he led them to two australian league titles. postecoglou did the same over a decade later with brisbane roar from where he took over the national job, taking australia to the world cup in 2014. and helping them qualify for 2018. then a move to japan where he would win thej—league title with yokohama marinos and pick up some useful information about talent that would help him in his most recentjob — celtic. five out of the six available domestic trophies went their way
6:44 pm
under postecoglou, including a treble this season. all of which recommended him to spurs, a club in a need of a re—set and according to australian football commentator simon hill, in need of a bit of big ange. this is a job that he is probably waited for all his life. he grew up watching england football, he's a liverpool fan as a child. and loves english football. he is ready for theirs. make no mistake. he'll set about this task in his usual manner. he'll set about this task in his usual manner. will be methodical, he'll pay great attention to detail. and things won't happen immediately. the celtic board stuck with him and you've all seen the end result. obviously, the premier league is the toughest competition of all to win trophies both in leak and cop. but he will have a plan already. and he's got a great roi for a player. he'll get the sort of random football that

6:48 pm
time that west ham 18 major european trophy. they won the cup winners' cup at wembley for the 1976, that was the last time they reach a major european final and 1980, that's the last time they won a major trophy of any description when they won the fa cup. it is a huge opportunity for west ham put them in the last couple of hours they've been holding their pre—match press conference. they are of course up against the italian side fiorentino and david moyes was askedif side fiorentino and david moyes was asked if there was anything about his opponents that scared him. i wouldn't tell you. what i will say is, i wouldn't tell you. what i will say is, i been — wouldn't tell you. what i will say is, i been usually impressed by fiorentina _ is, i been usually impressed by fiorentina. the form certainly sets after _ fiorentina. the form certainly sets after the _ fiorentina. the form certainly sets after the world cup has been very good _ after the world cup has been very good. they've already got to one cup final _ good. they've already got to one cup final 50 _ good. they've already got to one cup final 50 it _ good. they've already got to one cup final. so it tells you that they've -ot final. so it tells you that they've got something, the manager has done a really— got something, the manager has done a really good job doing thatjob job doing that job with job doing thatjob with fiorentina in a short— job doing thatjob with fiorentina

6:52 pm
it's looking bleak for that we haven't got official confirmation yet, that's expected in the next hour. what we do know is that the takeover wasn't completed by the four deadline as was widely expected, there seemed little chance for a while that that was going to go through. now we wait for news from the rfq, i understand their club financial viability group has been meeting in the last half an hour for that once it's approved by the rfq board i think we can expect confirmation that london irish have been suspended from the premiership. and repeat the fate we've seen with and with sir. —— rfu. rfu our meeting as we speak and if it does come to pass it will be the third club to go out of business is season and really a really dark few months off the field. and really a really dark few months off the field-— off the field. thank you. head to our website _ off the field. thank you. head to our website for _ off the field. thank you. head to our website for breaking - off the field. thank you. head to our website for breaking news i off the field. thank you. head to | our website for breaking news on that in the next few minutes as we
