good books this free, i am in the good books this evening. though showers will continue to climb their way steadily north and west across the liverpool and manchester areas, but they will peter out this evening and the sharp showers in scotland are fading away as well. we keep a little bit of low cloud out to the west, but once again it is going to be another incredibly humid night for trying to get a good night's sleep as the temperature is holed up at around mid—teens for many of us. we start off tomorrow again dry, settled and sunny. we need to keep an eye on a few scattered showers, but on the whole pure showers around for england and wales and not the heavy, widespread thunderstorms. a different story to the west of northern ireland and in north—west scotland, some of those thunderstorms once again could be quite torrential. another warm day generally across the country, temperatures a degree or so down. a subtle change in wind direction
6:31 pm
tomorrow will mean eventually we are starting to feel less humid and there will be a lot of dry weather in the forecast. all this rain is not dampening spirits here you can watch the parade on bbc news it starts at seven o'clock this evening but right now it's time for the news where you are, goodbye. welcome to the programme. as manchester city celebrate their treble win with an open—top bus parade through manchester city centre — thousands of fans are here to celebrate their historic success. city are only the second english men's team to win the perfect treble of the champions league, the premier. due to reports of adverse weather conditions and localised lightning storms, which are expected to reach manchester city centre shortly, the start of the trophy parade will be delayed until 7pm.
6:32 pm
we can see some live pictures from the streets of manchester city centre now i think you can probably make out some lots of blue flags but also quite a few umbrellas. people taking cover from the also quite a few umbrellas. people taking coverfrom the rain under the awnings of the shops on the sides so like you can see, a slightly bedraggled looking manchester city centre. but people are still looking like they are in the party mood not to be dampened by that weather. we are expecting obviously that open top bus to weave its way through manchester eventually making its way to oxford street where we are expected to see the squad and pep guardiola arrive and celebrate in front of the fans on stage. the timing, like we mentioned earlier, have slept. we are constantly getting updates as to when we might expect that parade to get going but for now committed city fans are still just out on for now committed city fans are stilljust out on the street leaning
6:33 pm
against the barriers waiting for their heroes to give them that heroes welcome which they clearly deserve. after that treble success which have seen them just the second english men's team to achieve the feet of the fa cups, the premier league and the champions league. after man city won that game against inter milan. still scenes of jubilation on the streets of manchester people battling against the elements. people battling it against the elements but clearly they are out to have a good time regardless if they get the drizzle coming down on them. we will be keeping across those live pictures as the crowds build. as we hopefully see the parade start to get under way we are keeping across those pictures. we will keep in mind but we are now able to speak with our
6:34 pm
presenter. well an extraordinary day in manchester and may be a typical manchurian day because of the weather and it has been torrential rain for the last little while many of the manchester city fans who have been writing these streets art looking for shelter under trees or in doorways but they are still determined to mark this moment is stay because of course it is the first time in their club's history that they have won this treble. quite an extraordinary feat to have achieve and of course it culminated on saturday at that champion the�*s league final. it is the first time in the cups history but not the first time in england of course because 2a years ago back in 1999 manchester united achieved the same fate. but manchester city— now most definitely turned the city blue. and they are just waiting for this parade to take place so that they
6:35 pm
can start their party in earnest. and like all good parties there has been something of a delay to it beginning. that is the way with most of the parties though, isn't it? you probably hear the constant signs of the horns of the fans lining the streets and the parade was scheduled to begin around now but because of the adverse weather conditions and because of the threat of lightning it has been delayed slightly. but when it does beginning, the route will start from tiedeman street travelled to st. mary's gate and work its way through cross street, if you know manchester then you will note some of the names of these streets and will be familiar to you. before you will finish on the corner of the princeton street and that is where the players and all of the squads and of course their manager, pep guardiola will stand in a stage and present those three trophies to their waiting fans in that is when
6:36 pm
their waiting fans in that is when the party will start properly. as the party will start properly. as the open top bus, we hope it will be, we suspect it will be, it depends perhaps because the players might not want to get absolutely soaked the way that the fans have done. but it is supposed to be an open top parade. if that is the case then we are hoping that we will be able to see those three trophies displayed jubilantly by the whole of the squad in their manager. but as thisjourney is about the squad in their manager. but as this journey is about to begin let's talk about t's journey to get those three sharpies. we will start with the premier league because of course that was a bit of a struggle. it didn't look even at christmas as though manchester city were going to win the premier league because arsenal had been top for so long. with little chance of catching them at that point and then it did seem
6:37 pm
to click for pep guardiola and as arsenal began to throw away points, around the end of april that's when city gathered momentum. and it culminated in the manchester city. we have since lost a few camera pictures but again it's because of these weather conditions. again it has not stopped the manchester city fence because the hordes are continuously going along the streets of manchester —— horns. the rain seems to have eased a little as well. we were talking on the premier leaguejourney well. we were talking on the premier league journey because as we were saying, arsenal did seem to be top of the league for so long, but then itjust of the league for so long, but then it just clicked for of the league for so long, but then itjust clicked for pep guardiola. and arsenal started to throw away points around the end of april that is when manchester city gathered momentum and it culminated in the victory over arsenal at the eddie had greeting them for— one in that
6:38 pm
ended any hopes of arsenal getting their first ended any hopes of arsenal getting theirfirst premier ended any hopes of arsenal getting their first premier league title in 19 years. a cut their lead at the top of the table at that point to just two points and pep guardiola's side still had two games in hand. and then they won it in may. it was as close as that. it was right up to the wire. right up to the last month when arsenal lost i— 02 forest and cd were just unstoppable. confirmation at that point that were champions for the fifth time in six seasons. but it's the take a look back, as we have said, it seriously was not all fun and games for pep guardiola. ii point he was getting pretty angry with his players and even the fan. injanuary pretty angry with his players and even the fan. in january there was something of even the fan. injanuary there was something of a turning point, a moment where pep guardiola himself said to his players and his fans, he was furious after 13's li—2 victory over tottenham because if you
6:39 pm
remembered they were to i can stare down at half—time. many of his supporters booed the team off at half—time as they walked on the tarmac and that really was unlike them. and he was very critical of them. and he was very critical of the fans and his players and he said, they were silent for 45 minutes in the buddha because we were losing and may be as the scene as our team they are so comfortable winning four primary leaks in five years. —— booed because we were losing. that reaction was devastating his city on the sean's first and second half beating them 4-2 first and second half beating them li—2 and was almost certainly pep guardiola's way of colonising those concerns at the club. —— galvanising. now we can see here thatis galvanising. now we can see here that is the open top bus parade with the players on top a little break up of the picture but is to be expected of the picture but is to be expected of the picture but is to be expected of the weather as bad as it is he could see them with the flags waving. you can almost see bananas on the top as well butjust stopped
6:40 pm
at the momentjust greeting the fence, waving. ithink at the momentjust greeting the fence, waving. i think we can see the trophiesjust fence, waving. i think we can see the trophies just amongst that but you can see the blue bus with treble winners and across the top of it. and the fans... just starting to cheer as they arrive. this is the stage show as well where the fans have gathered in oxford street. looking like they are waiting for the players to arrive. let's just pause for a while and we will be able to hopefully hear some of what they are saying as they with the players to arrive. i’zfe they are saying as they with the players to arrive.— players to arrive. i've got a feelin: players to arrive. i've got a feeling as _ players to arrive. i've got a feeling as well _ players to arrive. i've got a feeling as well that - players to arrive. i've got a feeling as well that they i players to arrive. i've got a - feeling as well that they might be a little brat lubricated. had a few beers _ little brat lubricated. had a few beers on — little brat lubricated. had a few beers on the way. i

6:43 pm
studio: we are so looking at live pictures on the streets of manchester. they seem to be battling the bad weather. we can see people still lining the streets, the crowd is steadily growing in spite of that weather. people really excited to welcome their heroes. that open top bus and do in the coming hours at least to make its way through the city all the way to that stage on oxford street where we have that life event. we are keeping eyes on when that bus is going to get under way, on itsjourney. the fans to give a heroes welcome to those players. we can still see the street. you can probably see they are glistening it looks like it may have stopped raining for now but it has been a downpour which is why it has been
6:44 pm
delayed. we heard there was a thunderstorm, some lightning and basically weather conditions which meant they were not safe to continue with the parade. i think we are able to speak to our correspondent katie now. hi. we have been keeping an eye on the parade, do we have a sense of how the timings have slipped and is that having any impact on the mood of the fans out on the streets? i think the timings have been assessed and looked _ think the timings have been assessed and looked at because the weather is as we _ and looked at because the weather is as we can _ and looked at because the weather is as we can see quite atrocious out there _ as we can see quite atrocious out there i_ as we can see quite atrocious out there i am — as we can see quite atrocious out there. i am actually based in satford — there. i am actually based in salford right now and the piazza outside — salford right now and the piazza outside is — salford right now and the piazza outside isjust almost salford right now and the piazza outside is just almost turned into a lake, _ outside is just almost turned into a take, such — outside is just almost turned into a lake, such as the strength and the ferocity— lake, such as the strength and the ferocity of— lake, such as the strength and the ferocity of the rain that has fallen in the _ ferocity of the rain that has fallen in the last— ferocity of the rain that has fallen in the last ten or 20 minutes or so. i don't _ in the last ten or 20 minutes or so. tdon't think— in the last ten or 20 minutes or so. tdon't think it _ in the last ten or 20 minutes or so. i don't think it has dampen the idon't think it has dampen the spirits— idon't think it has dampen the spirits of— i don't think it has dampen the spirits of the fence but there are four lads— spirits of the fence but there are four lads playing football outside

the weather situation we are seeing now. this is slightly happier times before we knew that delay was going to come. because of those adverse weather conditions mentioned. katie, can i ask you, we have to talking about how big an achievement this treble is only the second english men's team to achieve this. for context just how hard men's team to achieve this. for contextjust how hard is it? for them to have gotten to this place when the three major trophies. it is when the three ma'or trophies. it is such a rare _ when the three major trophies. it is such a rare event as you have mentioned. there have only been to english _ mentioned. there have only been to english clubs, city and manchester united to have completed the treble and i think— united to have completed the treble and i think several teams across europe — and i think several teams across europe to — and i think several teams across europe to do it in their own domestic leagues but you have to remember that domestic leagues but you have to rememberthat premier domestic leagues but you have to remember that premier league is a very difficult league to win as well~ — very difficult league to win as well~ i— very difficult league to win as well. i think that adds an extra element — well. i think that adds an extra element to it as well because it is such a _ element to it as well because it is such a competitive league probably one of— such a competitive league probably one of the — such a competitive league probably one of the hardest leagues is not one of the hardest leagues is not

players as they passed by on the bus which we do not yet have exact timings for but we are expecting that to come. we will let you know as soon as we have the specifics on that. forthe as soon as we have the specifics on that. for the time being katie, stay there but i think we are able to speak to a manchester city fan. joining me now is hoang truong. thank you forjoining us on the programme. can i ask first of all what does it mean to you for your club to win the champions league and by doing that capping off winning the treble? to by doing that capping off winning the treble? .. , by doing that capping off winning the treble? ., , ., , ., , the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk _ the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in _ the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in yet. _ the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in yet. i _ the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in yet. i was - the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in yet. i was 11 - the treble? to be honest and still has not sunk in yet. i was 11 years| has not sunk in yet. i was 11 years old when manchester city one the playoff final to be gelling on penalties. our member watching it on tv very well and of course that was the same year manchester united won the same year manchester united won the treble and 2a years later, there were so many emotional ones running
6:51 pm
through this and i was just waiting for the final whistle to blow in when it did blue i wasjust like wow, we actually did it. to win the treble is just incredible and it just still has not sunk in yet. talk me through. _ just still has not sunk in yet. talk me through, where _ just still has not sunk in yet. talk me through, where were you watching the final and what were your emotions like on the night? i the final and what were your emotions like on the night? i was at home and l— emotions like on the night? i was at home and l was— emotions like on the night? i was at home and i was with _ emotions like on the night? i was at home and i was with my _ emotions like on the night? i was at home and i was with my family, - emotions like on the night? i was at home and i was with my family, i i emotions like on the night? i was at. home and i was with my family, i was watching the game, that was just so much because i have to give credit to inter milan first and foremost because i thought they played very well that night. they prostrated they were so aggressive and in their duels and to not give city any hope of playing out. and ijust thought, is it going to be one of those days. but i just is it going to be one of those days. but ijust kept on believing and believing and win the gold came it was just so fitting that rodri scored because he was wearing number 16 to deliver the first champions league for manchester city just
6:52 pm
16 to deliver the first champions league for manchester cityjust like sergio wearing number 16 when city when the first ever premier league title back in 2012. i think itjust feels like the stars were aligned to everything was connected. you mentioned _ everything was connected. you mentioned rodri. _ everything was connected. you mentioned rodri. he was amazing on the night. who were the other standout players do you think were able to wrestle the game back into manchester city's control and deliver the wind?— manchester city's control and deliver the wind? ., ,., ., , deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it — deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it is — deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it is a _ deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it is a team _ deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it is a team game - deliver the wind? there are so many. of course it is a team game and - of course it is a team game and i don't want to single anyone out. but at the same time i cannot look past ruben diaz he was pretty much the foundation of that day. he was just nonstop talking throughout the match to make sure everyone was doing every theirjob and i thought he was so composed that might as well, nathan, and i think edison also the amount of unjustified criticism he has got with his shot stopping produced two outstanding saves and i
6:53 pm
think one, the last saving injury time as well to make sure city got their hands on the trophy. so i have to say those guys but i thought the whole team as a collective were phenomenal that night. haifa whole team as a collective were phenomenal that night. how much of that collective _ phenomenal that night. how much of that collective mentality, _ phenomenal that night. how much of that collective mentality, that - phenomenal that night. how much of that collective mentality, that team i that collective mentality, that team spirit, how much of that due to the impact —— the input rather of your manager, pep guardiola? i impact -- the input rather of your manager, pep guardiola?- impact -- the input rather of your manager, pep guardiola? i think over the course of — manager, pep guardiola? i think over the course of the _ manager, pep guardiola? i think over the course of the years _ manager, pep guardiola? i think over the course of the years after- the course of the years after suffering so many eliminations and i think pep guardiola has learned to adapt to the champions league. it was all about domination and the tournament but domination can be a disadvantage because he can dominate so much of the game but you get one counterattack or one bad moment and you were out of the tournament. with eliminations to monaco, liverpool, tottenham, leon in the final loss to chelsea in that semifinal loss to real madrid. i think to win a
6:54 pm
tournament such as the champions league you have to be able to embrace the suffering and to build the mentalfortitude to embrace the suffering and to build the mental fortitude to win a tournament like this. because it is such a hard tournament to win. this is something i will not take for granted to win the champions league and i will never ever take it for granted at all. i and i will never ever take it for granted at all.— and i will never ever take it for granted at all. i will ask a cheeky ruestion granted at all. i will ask a cheeky question obviously _ granted at all. i will ask a cheeky question obviously match - granted at all. i will ask a cheeky question obviously match the - question obviously match the achievement of manchester united in 1999, their own treble feet two. does that make your achievement this year all the sweeter that you're able to match that of your arch local rivals?— able to match that of your arch local rivals? ~ . ., ., .,~ ., local rivals? michael to take away manchester _ local rivals? michael to take away manchester united _ local rivals? michael to take away i manchester united to's achievement 24 manchester united to's achievement 2a years ago because they have been exceptional black thank no one ever thought it would be possible and shows you how difficult it is and we are only the second team to do it if
6:55 pm
you look at other teams around europe, barcelona won the treble twice. real madrid has not done that, byron munich have won the treble themselves so we still have some way to go to eclipse manchester united because i still have to acknowledge that manchester united are the bigger club in terms of overall time. but i think the last ten years if you look at the successes there's pretty much a no contest. i successes there's pretty much a no contest. , , , .,, ., ~ contest. i suppose people would like to find problems _ contest. i suppose people would like to find problems and _ contest. i suppose people would like to find problems and i _ contest. i suppose people would like to find problems and i would - contest. i suppose people would like to find problems and i would just - to find problems and i would just play devils advocate, on the one hand this should take a lot of pressure off of the city's shoulders the some of the champions league, has been the goal which is all we seem to bejust has been the goal which is all we seem to be just out of reach to and that defeat from chelsea a few years ago, not that the question is off do you think you will be easier to keep on winning in the future or is it hard to sustain that level of
6:56 pm
