fade and under clear skies as the winds for light, we will again see some fog patches and a touch of frost. many places will get close to freezing in some places below freezing. frost and fog for some of us to start tomorrow morning. we are in a window of fine weather, low—pressure clearing eastwards. more weather systems waiting in the wings but a zone of fire to dry and weather. with some fog across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland, could be quite slow to clear. a few showers in eastern parts but for the majority of fine —looking day with lots of sunshine and the temperatures generally between seven and i2 generally between seven and 12 degrees. we will see rain approaching the south—west late in the day —— fine and dry. moving into devon and cornwall and the channel islands late in the day. it will start to turn quite chilly later on. into remembrance sunday, frontal

system start to push in from the south—west. ahead of that, sunday morning could be very murky with some widespread and dense fog which could be slow to clear. if you are going to any commemorations at 11 o'clock on remembrance sunday, across scotland rather murky and cold. the same goes for northern england but here we will have some rain as well and patchy rain further south across parts of england and wales. it will not rain everywhere all the time but the chance for some wet weather, the all the time but the chance for some wet weather, the rain all the time but the chance for some wet weather, the rain also all the time but the chance for some wet weather, the rain also affecting northern ireland and pushing slowly northwards and eastwards. across parts of scotland it will stay murky and quite chilly. but a little bit milder in the south—west corner, a sign of things to come next week. milder conditions but with that we will see some outbreaks of rain. thank you

hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm jane dougall. the manchester united ownership saga takes another twist, as sirjim ratcliffe�*s bid edges closer. emotional scenes as luis diaz's dad returns to his family after being held hostage for 13 days in colombia. i want to thank all the people, the families, and colombia for the great support they have given my family. thank you all. i love you all very much. and afghanistan's slim chances of reaching the semi—finals of the cricket world cup diminish after a rocky start against south africa. welcome to the programme. we start with the news that sirjim ratcliffe�*s deal to buy a minority stake in manchester united

could be completed during the international break next week. ratcliffe had already amended his initial plan to buy the glazers�* 69% shareholding — reducing it to a "majority" stake. however, it was only when he reduced it again, to an anticipated 25%, that the potential for an agreement increased. it is thought he will pay around £1.25billion, although it's not entirely clear what the structure of the deal will be. ourfootball reporter simon stone has more. i think ithink sirjim i think sirjim ratcliffe and the glazerfamily have i think sirjim ratcliffe and the glazer family have reached i think sirjim ratcliffe and the glazerfamily have reached i i think sirjim ratcliffe and the glazer family have reached i suppose an accommodation. it was initially felt that the glazer family would be willing to sell. the other main bidder released some information earlier this month basically saying that he had not been able to reach an agreement with the glazer family and the glazerfamily

an agreement with the glazer family and the glazer family wanted too much. jim ratcliffe has lowered his expectations initially from 69% down to 50% and now we think 25% and the glazes are willing sellers. and it will be willing —— interesting to see how it works out becausejim ratcliffe is not known for taking a back—seat but clearly this is only a quarter of the club and he also has sir dave brailsford, the leading light with the ineos cycling group, with him in every sporting enterprise, so what part will he play at manchester united when the deal is complete? well, at the heart of all of this are a lot of disgruntled fans. joining us now is dylan penketh from the manchester united fans website "united district". this has been rumbling on for almost a year now, since the glazers announced they might sell, what's your your reaction to today's news? it is long overdue, today's news,

but the timing makes sense because we're talking about a deal and transaction of over £1 million —— £1 billion and it's interesting to hear the strategic review announced last november has come to some kind of conclusion as explained by simon stone, it's looking to become an active shareholder in the club and although this might not be the change that many fans once or the perfect outcome of a strategic review, it is more change than we've seenin review, it is more change than we've seen in the 20 years that the glazer family have been in control of the club and hopefully for many fans it is the first step in ultimately what will be new ownership of the team. if and when the deal goes through, what would your priority be as a fan because there are clearly issue surrounding the stadium needing upgrading but there are clearly significant issues on the pitch. fild

significant issues on the pitch. old trafford is significant issues on the pitch. cir. trafford is in dire need of improvement or repair or building a new stadium which would be a very radical suggestion. as for the new training ground and facility and the football on the pitch this season, the club have lost nine out of 17 in all competitions which is a horrible start, but there has been improvement in recent years. they don't make the most effective decisions a lot of the time and sometimes the decision might be the right one or a lot of money has been wasted, so the material —— before the material changes are made before improving 0ld the material changes are made before improving old trafford, the plays on the training ground, i believe the club need to change their structure and this is what i'm hoping will happen first. currently the club have four people in the day—to—day making decisions that could be made by one sporting director or director of football which i'm hoping jim ratcliffe, assuming the deal goes

through, will bring in. because that will help alleviate the stress potential on erik ten hag because it's been said many times across the press that and the hundred day review and the structure will hopefully be put in place and that will hopefully mean that united will make those decisions and the club will move forward.— make those decisions and the club will move forward. we've run out of time, but thank _ will move forward. we've run out of time, but thank you _ will move forward. we've run out of time, but thank you for _ will move forward. we've run out of time, but thank you for your - will move forward. we've run out of time, but thank you for your input l time, but thank you for your input there. relief for liverpool winger luis diaz today after kidnappers released his father unharmed after holding him for almost two weeks in colombia. these were the scenes when luiz manuel diaz was reunited with his family. yesterday the guerrilla group, the national liberation army handed his father over to members of the united nations, and the catholic church, ending a 13—day wait for his release. diaz found out the news hours before he played for liverpool in the europa league last night. translation: first of all, i i want to thank god for having

to the cricket world cup now where south africa, who are already qualified for the semi—finals, are taking on afghanistan, who still had a slim chance to qualify for the final four, but that's now not going to happen. afghanistan chose to bat first but struggled initially — losing three quick wickets for just a5. however, they dug in and held on to rack up 244. azmatullah 0marzai top—scoring with 97, but he'll have been frustrated not to get his century. they needed to beat south africa by a38 runs to reach the semis though. in reply, south africa are 48 without loss after eight overs. now, imagine being able tojump as high as two double decker buses! well, those are the heights reached at the world trampoline and tumbling championships which get under way today in birmingham. great britain had their most successful championships last year — and bryony page was a huge part of that.

the 32—year—old has been speaking to the bbc about how high she can jump; experiencing the equivalent of the twisties, — where you lose your sense of where you are while in the air — and also her hopes of qualifing for the olympics this weekend. i love the feeling of spinning through the air. the speed at which you spin and rotate. you have that moment at the top of the jump where you are weightless. it's like riding a roller—coaster but you are in control of it. if i see a trampoline, ijust have to get on. iam i am proud that i am still able to kind of keep pushing my boundaries and i'm trying to raise the glass ceiling. when i was younger i had the problem of not having enough power or strength in my legs to be able to jump at the height and put enough rotation in to be able to spin fast enough to get this because i wanted to, so what i had was a weakness that led to a strength because i had to make the shape to

because i had to make the shape to be able to spin round.— be able to spin round. fantastic routine from _ be able to spin round. fantastic routine from bryony _ be able to spin round. fantastic routine from bryony page - be able to spin round. fantasticl routine from bryony page there. be able to spin round. fantastic- routine from bryony page there. how hiuh do i routine from bryony page there. how high do i feel— routine from bryony page there. firm high do i feel like i am jumping? people say is the same as two double—decker buses. it's a similar height to tom daly�*s hi di. —— hi drive. mental blocks, the yips, twisties, they are all the same terminology to describe what is going on. that is what happened with me and i kind of got lost in the air which is what simone biles was trying to explain, the twisties, and your body makes a decision without your body makes a decision without your mind catching up to save you but it's actually really scary because you're not in control of that so there is this frustration of the conflict going on in your brain as well as, i could do this yesterday, why can't i do it today? so definitely one of the lower points in my career but in some respects i'm really grateful i went through it because it made me a

stronger athlete. the world championships is a really big deal, it an olympic qualifying event so in the individual event is the one at the individual event is the one at the olympics and that takes priority but then we have the sink which is really exciting and we come back from a world cup and we got a gold and last year we got a silver for the women's team and we hope to make the women's team and we hope to make the team final and push for a medal so it's a really exciting competition to be part of and individually, i would love to make the podium again. and you can watch the championships on the bbc iplayer this weekend, starting at 3.30 this afternoon, including the women's tumbling 01 team final. you can also follow on the bbc sport website and on the red button today. but that's all we've got time for.

you're watching bbc news. i'm catherine byaruhanga. as we mentioned earlier, the chancellorjeremy hunt has distanced himself from comments the home secretary suella braverman�*s made yesterday. suella braverman wrote an article in the times newspaper where she accused the police of showing favouritism to pro—palestinian demonstrators. downing street says it had not cleared the the article and is looking into what happened. there are growing questions about whether the prime minister will keep ms braverman as his home secretary. live now to our political correspondent, hannah miller. it is day two of the row over the home secretary's comments. tell about the growing pressure on the prime minister to sack her. the latest we have _ prime minister to sack her. tue: latest we have had prime minister to sack her. tte: latest we have had from prime minister to sack her. t"te: latest we have had from the prime minister to sack her. tte: latest we have had from the prime minister's official spokesperson is

that he still has full confidence in the home secretary. we shouldn't read too much into that phrase, it's a kind of phrase used a lot in politics and you have to have confidence in a minister unless you decide to get rid of them but more than 24 hours into this now and it's starting to feel unlikely that there is going to be any movement from the home secretary on the prime minister today. that's not to say that it's not serious. jeremy hunt, the chancellor, has become this morning the most senior of suella braverman�*s cabinet colleagues to distance himself from her language publicly. he didn't go so far as to say she should be sacked and reiterated the prime minister has full confidence statement. at the same time because there are others, to quote one person, simply saying

what the public think. i think the focus for now on downing street is making sure the events over this we can go ahead without disruption. the spokesperson said for those who attend the protest to be mindful of the fear and distress in both muslim and jewish communities at the moment. figs and jewish communities at the moment. �* , , ., and jewish communities at the moment. ~ , , ., ., , and jewish communities at the moment. �* , ,, ., , ., , moment. as you mentioned, she does have the support _ moment. as you mentioned, she does have the support of _ moment. as you mentioned, she does have the support of some _ moment. as you mentioned, she does have the support of some people - moment. as you mentioned, she does have the support of some people in i have the support of some people in her party and she is a key unpopular figure in the conservative party. absolutely. tickly in terms of the right wing of the conservative party which is frankly why suella braverman is there, to please that side of rishi sunak. and to keep them onside. particularly is to say for example the stop the boats policy to have someone willing to go out there to create headlines by using language that other people
