which was quickly surpassed. rare piece of wedding cake here, at £2,200 on the telephone in china. 2,200. it's a little sliver of history. when that was given in 1947, rationing was still going on. mostly people who would have received a piece of cake like that would have thought, i've got to eat it. particularly if the queen has just sent it to me. whether there is an appetite to eat the cake is unknown, but the appetite to own a slice of royal memorabilia has seen this buyer spend thousands of pounds. jo black, bbc news. time for a look at the weather, here's tomasz schafernaker. very quiet on the weather front. not a lot to report this evening. i will show you a bigger map of the high pressure over us now in a second but

i wanted to see the headline for the rest of the week and this is what we had in the last few days so no real change and bonfire tonight means the mist and fog could be more prevalent tomorrow morning where we have that, but look at the high—pressure extending from the ukraine across central europe, the black sea, all the way towards the caspian sea and we are on the edge of the area of high pressure and the atmosphere to have stalled and the jet stream is over iceland and scandinavia so everywhere roughly to the south of the jet stream is where we have mild air so a huge area of high pressure with cloud underneath it but we are on the periphery of the high meaning the wind is coming in from the south and going from the south over us into scandinavia and then the other sides of europe and here are the winds on wednesday, just on the edge. look at the mild air spreading across the continent. when we get southerly winds to the lee of the

high ground, northern parts of wales, northern scotland, the moray firth, these areas are quite likely to have decent spells of sunshine or clear blue sky so we could see higher temperatures, 16 or so but where you are stuck under the cloud it will be more like 13 or 1a degrees are not pleasant and we will do that again on thursday because that high is still with us and for as long as the highs with us, the mild areas with us and these weather fronts are trying to push in but as they push into the high with the air sinking these weather fronts are squeezed out so no surprise that we see the outlook and it looks as though the computer forecasts are pointing to similar weather for the middle of the month. thanks, tomasz. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjaun. a taste of what's to come —

ruben amorim takes on manchester city in the champions league, his final home game at sporting, before joining manchester united. i don't wish a very well as you can imagine, because he's my arrival! but he deserves what he got, he deserves to be in one of the best clubs in the world —— he is my rival. alonso�*s homecoming, but can the former liverpool man's leverkusen side come away with the win at anfield? and a "brilliant challenge" awaits, in the words of celtic manager brendan rodgers, as his side face bundesliga high fliers rb leipzig. also coming up on sportsday — we're in saudi arabia, as the best in women's tennis play the wta finals, but have organisers sold out in the face of record prize money? and sir chris hoy tells us about the shock and horror his family have faced after announcing his cancer was terminal and how his diagnosis can help save lives in the future.

hello there, and welcome along to the programme. the champions league is back this week, with nine more games tonight. perhaps the most intriguing will be ruben amorim's final home game in charge of sporting before he joins manchester united next week. and what a team to face later — none other than united's big rivals manchester city. can the portuguese manager get himself in the good books before he arrives? he's focussed on the job at hand tonight, that's for sure — as adam cottier reports. in six days, ruben amorim will say his final goodbyes at sporting to start his new venture with manchester united. tonight, fans of his new club might take a keener interest in a match involving manchester city. a glimpse of the future, a game where the television
