in the frame that went off at sotheby�*s as soon as the girl with the balloon was sold. and as for why banksy chose glasgow — this is the reason. right outside the venue, for more than a0 years, glaswegians have been putting road cones on top of a statue of the first duke of wellington. banksy has declared it his favourite work of art in the uk. this is something, the cone on the head, that's been going on in glasgow since the mid—1980s. and local tour guides approve of his choice. fantastic, i go along with that, that sounds pretty cool to me. banksy�*s last glasgow show was in 2001, before he was famous. as soon as it finished the venue painted over his works. this show could tour the world. colin paterson, bbc news, glasgow. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich.

more sunshine? more sunshine? more sunshine, not much rain, some of have seen thunderstorms but there are other places where it's been dry for ages. this picture from a weather watcher in kent and kent is one of the places where it's not rained in some spots for 33 days, but there are other places across the uk where we have not had any rain for a the uk where we have not had any rainfora number of the uk where we have not had any rain for a number of weeks now. that will change a bit over the next few days. this chart shows the rainfall accumulation we are expecting over the next five days. the wettest weather likely to be of the west. you can see this quite patchy rainfall pattern. that shows we are going to have showery rain so there may be places that still don't see an awful lot but the change is going to come courtesy of this swirl of cloud here on the satellite picture a long way away from our shores at the moment so for most of us in the short—term sunny skies this afternoon. as few showers in

northern ireland, scotland and wales, the south—west, the odd one elsewhere, temperatures up to 27, 28, 29 and elsewhere, temperatures up to 27, 28,29 and tonight another quiet night for the most part, a bit of low cloud, mist—macro and murk here and there but some thunderstorms may start to move towards the far south—west of england by the end of the night. typically 9—i3 , i wouldn't be surprised if like last night some parts of eastern scotland got a little bit chillier than that. tomorrow, lots of sunshine around but a greater chance of showers for south—west england, parts of wales, may north west england, south—west scotland, northern ireland is well and these showers, where they do crop up, could be heavy thundery but again in the best of the sunshine, 26, 20 7 degrees again in the best of the sunshine, 26,20 7 degrees and a again in the best of the sunshine, 26, 20 7 degrees and a little bit warmer than has been for some north sea coasts. into the weekend our area of low pressure starts to make its move. it will be centred to the west of the uk so initially it will be western parts that see the wettest of the weather but there is the increasing chance of rain,

heavy, thundery rain at that, still though some spells of warm sunshine so for saturday some showers into western parts, some heavy thundery ones. further east, mainly dry with some sunshine. because of the extra cloud and showers it may be a little bit less warm in places but i wouldn't be at all surprised if some spots got a little bit higher than 25 degrees. into sunday, a bit of uncertainty about this but we could see showers and thunderstorms developing more widely and then pushing northwards, so the chance for many of us to see some rain but still feeling warm in any sunshine. hello. you're watching sportsday

solve the problem. blind footballer rainbow mbuangi says everyone should have an opportunity to be active. i definitely say that the way i feel playing football is free. i think being able to go and play on the football pitch, whether that is for a club or a country, ijust kind of feel free, and i always try and break down the barriers for someone with a disability. but, i think, break down the barriers for someone with a disability. but, ithink, in general, the search for any type of sports or activity, i think it is so niche that it is so hard to find. i think that money is one of many, but i would say the top three or four problems within disability sports. money being the factor within different things within that. one being equipment, for someone who is

blind, they have to go and spend about £50 on a football which just has some belting, which has some metal ball bearings in, and that is the only difference, and it is costing £40 more. you can get all the latest sports news from the bbc sport app, or at our website that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. hello, live from westminster. former prime minister borisjohnson has been found to have misled parliament and undermined the democratic process. borisjohnson had been accused of attending illegal gatherings during the coronavirus lockdown and this is something he'd lied in the house of commons. now, a
