know anonymity lifted and we know more about what he and his lawyers are thinking because we have just had a statement through from them and we can bring that to you now. he says, due to the high level of speculation and misreporting in the media and elsewhere, i have asked my legal team to disclose my identity. i have done nothing wrong or unlawful and the concerns raised by the home office against me are ill founded. the widespread description of me as a spy is entirely untrue. this is why i applied for a review of the home office's decision in the first place and why i'm seeking permission to appeal the special immigration appeals decision for some it is also why i am revealing anonymity. i have been excluded from seeing most of the evidence used against me under a process which is widely agreed by those special immigration appeals commission is practitioners as inherently unfair, decisions are made based on closed

proceedings which have been described as taking blind shots at a hidden target, that was in quote marks. on their own fact—finding, even the three judges concluded there was not an abundance of said evidence against me. the decision was finely balanced and there was an exchange of activities will stop that has not been reported in the media. the political climate has changed and unfortunately i have fallen victim to this. when relations are goods and chinese investment is sought, and welcome in the uk. when they sell and anti—china stance is taken, i am excluded. sell and anti—china stance is taken, iam excluded. i sell and anti—china stance is taken, i am excluded. i am an independent, self—made entrepreneur. i have always aimed to foster partnerships and build bridges between east and build bridges between east and west, dedicating my professional life in the uk to building links between british and chinese businesses, my activities have played a part in bringing hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into the uk. i built my private life in the uk over two decades and i love the country is my second home. i

would never do anything to harm the interest of the uk. so this is the statement from yang tengbo who has been named today very much saying that he has fallen victim to the political climate at the moment and saying he has done nothing wrong or unlawful and describes these allegations of him being a spy as being entirely untrue. so we are going to bring more on that story throughout the day but firstly, let's catch up with all of the sports news and tanya jones. austrian striker has been rushed to hospital with a fractured skull after being attacked in vienna. his club have posted a statement saying he is expected to be out of action for several months after suffering serious head injury at the weekend. he was attacked by an unknown man and fractured his skull as he fell following what is described as a brutal blow. the 35 yard was examined at the scene before being taken to hospital where he will

much right across the country. on boundary of that, we have this almost stationary weather front bringing very high rainfall totals to parts of northern scotland, particularly the north—west highlands but elsewhere, mostly dry. variable cloud, some sunny spells, temperatures into low teens. we could be looking at up to 150 millimetres of rain across the north—west highlands by the time monday is out so that is likely to cause some issues as we have seen localised flooding in places. and that rain then starts to push northwards as we switch wind directions coming up from the south. this new area of low pressure, which will bring breezy and wet weather to northern and western areas as we go through tonight. milder here, but some chillier spots across the east and southeast of england where winds will be light and we'll see clearer skies tuesday, then it's a rather cloudy one. breezy, windy out west. outbreaks of patchy rain.

scotland. northern ireland, northern and western england and wales, but i think mostly dry up the shower further east and again, given some brightness it will be quite mild, but temperatures generally ten to 12 degrees. wet and windy weather spreads across the country during tuesday night. one area of low pressure clears away gradually. another one will arrive across southern parts of england and wales later in the day, but in between, should be drier with some sunshine around. still quite breezy. few showers across northern and western areas and signs of something a bit cooler beginning to dig in here. now, this next area of low pressure looks like it will swipe most of england and wales with wet and windy weather. as we move through wednesday night into thursday, it moves away, takes the mild air with it and then we're into this cold north north—westerly wind for thursday day itself. there'll be plenty of sunshine around on thursday, but it will be noticeably cold. scattering of showers, mainly in northern and western areas, and these will be wintry over the hills and temperatures back into single digits across the board. these values actually closer to what we expect this time of year, and it stays blustery for the end of the week and into the weekend with sunshine and showers again. these will be wintry on hills in the north.
