oui’ our weather pressure will be driving our weather fronts and some dry weather trying to move in across the north west. most places looking dry but some of the mist and fog could linger around may be eastern coast of england, parts of wales in the south—west and then the rain will arrive across the north west of scotland later in the day, so temperatures pegged back a bit, between 11 and 13 across the north west but for most of us, highs between 18 or 21 degrees, above average for the time of year. as we head through thursday, a lot of dry, settled weather and mist and fog clearing away. a little bit cloudy across the far north of scotland and some patchy rain at times and some isolated showers elsewhere but most places dry and warm, up to about 22 degrees in the sunshine in the south and we will stick with a high pressure bringing this mostly dry weather through friday and saturday, just a few showers heading in towards the west on sunday. 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. plenty on the way. nottingham forest lose their appeal against their premier league points deduction, as the struggling side battle to avoid the drop. can things get any worse for manchester united? another resounding defeat — they could be heading for their lowest ever premier league finish. and olympic marathon champion eliod kipchoge tells us about the impact of being wrongly blamed for the death of a rival. also coming up on sportsday — a first world snooker championship for kyren wilson, and he tells us he's not stopping there. i would not be happy with only one

world title. i want multiple, i think that's the way you to train your brain. hello there and welcome along to sportsday, and we start with news around the battle to avoid the drop in the premier league — a blow for nottingham forest fans. the club has lost its appeal, against a four point deduction, for breaking the league's spending rules last season. it leaves the league table looking like this. forest, with just two games to go, stay three points above luton, who are in the relegation zone, with burnley still five points behind forest and lying second from bottom. both burnley and luton are up against it, with their inferior goal difference. but still, the news provides some hope — given that if forest had had the deduction overturned, they'd both have been down today.

joining me our luton town fans and burnley supporter. welcome to both. it could have been an awful day for both clubs effectively, but is there some relief that the points deduction has been upheld? i think there's a little _ deduction has been upheld? i think there's a little bit _ deduction has been upheld? i think there's a little bit of— deduction has been upheld? i think there's a little bit of relief. - deduction has been upheld? i think there's a little bit of relief. i - there's a little bit of relief. i think there's still something to play for. there's also a hint of feeling like we've been sort of let down a little bit as well. but alas, we are still in it until the very end. . . ., ., we are still in it until the very end. ., ., ., ., ,., we are still in it until the very end. ., ., ., ., y., ., , end. natalie, what are your thoughts around the points _ end. natalie, what are your thoughts around the points deduction - end. natalie, what are your thoughts around the points deduction being i around the points deduction being upheld? some relief for you? i think there's a relief, _ upheld? some relief for you? i think there's a relief, but _ upheld? some relief for you? i think there's a relief, but i _ upheld? some relief for you? i think there's a relief, but i echo _ upheld? some relief for you? i think there's a relief, but i echo the - there's a relief, but i echo the sentiments that at the end for burnley's_ sentiments that at the end for burnley's perspective, a miserable season _ burnley's perspective, a miserable season. there's nothing else to do other_ season. there's nothing else to do other than— season. there's nothing else to do other than get excited about a

not massively favourite, but considering the chances in germany, to be fair, and a game where they actually showed up, they were far from their best. yet, they created absences. they only will lost 1—0, really, which is not the biggest of deficits. i think they are right to be favourite, they are confident, they can overturn the first leg result and qualify for the final at wembley. they've been very good at home all season pretty much in the league. it would be very rare for this side not to score in two games in a row. they will face a good side that plays with a lot of hearts, a good organisation, a lot of unity, they work with for each other a lot. i think psg's talent with the support of the fans would be incredible. i think it will make a

difference and they will qualify. who do you think will be the danger later on? we saw who do you think will be the danger later on? we sanadon sancho who do you think will be the danger later on? we saw jadon sancho have who do you think will be the danger later on? we sanadon sancho have a great game for dortmund. looking to seal the stamp on what would be his last campaign. seal the stamp on what would be his last campaign-— last campaign. you're right, it would be _ last campaign. you're right, it would be the _ last campaign. you're right, it would be the last _ last campaign. you're right, it would be the last game - last campaign. you're right, it would be the last game and i last campaign. you're right, it i would be the last game and paris because they wouldn't play here in paris if they qualified in europe. it's an incredible last game for him to play and for him to star in. he needs to deliver tonight and he needs to deliver tonight and he needs something very special. he scored loads of gold in europe. he's been the big star for many years. this is the end and these big games should belong to big players. for jadon sancho, it's the second leg of his battle. there was only one winner in the first leg, and that was sancho. it was good to see him

back at his best. one of the keys of the game tonight would be if psg can keepjadon sancho quiet. this is a massive opportunity for psg to have another final after they won four years ago. this is more consistency than any other team in the. it's not good enough either, at home. what's our good enough either, at home. what's your production _ good enough either, at home. what's your production for _ good enough either, at home. what's your production for tonight? - good enough either, at home. what's your production for tonight? my i good enough either, at home. what's your production for tonight? my head | your production for tonight? my head in m heart your production for tonight? my head in my heart say _ your production for tonight? my head in my heart say two _ your production for tonight? my head in my heart say two different - in my heart say two different things. i have to stay positive and optimistic, but objectively, i think this is psg's to lose. they are the better players. they should qualify.

i would say 3—1 psg, but i've started biting my nails already. it's not going to get better. brute it's not going to get better. we will see of— it's not going to get better. we will see ofjulian's for his actions come true. —— predictions. with just over a month to go now until the start of the men's euros in germany, police say they have briefed england's players on the threat of online racism, saying they will "take seriously" any abuse during the tournament. players like marcus rashford, bukayo saka and jadon sancho were all targeted after missing penalties in the final of the last championship. the warning comes as authorities prepare to send the biggest deployment of british police officers to an overseas tournament for more than a decade, with hundreds of thousands of fans set to travel next month. the most recent tournament saw qatar and russia — the most recent tournament saw qatar and russia for the world cups, so there _ and russia for the world cups, so there were — and russia for the world cups, so there were challenges about getting their both financially and logistically. this was the first one that's— logistically. this was the first one that's been really accessible since fans _ that's been really accessible since fans i_ that's been really accessible since fans. i think we can anticipate.

a reminder of our top story before we go. nottingham forest have lost their appeal against a four—point deduction, for breaching profit and sustainability rules in the premier league. it means the club stay three points above luton — butjust above the relegation zone, with two games to go. luton and burnley still have a chance of survival after the decision was upheld. forest take on chelsea on saturday, with luton at west ham... with luton at west ham and burnley facing tottenham. that's all from sportsday. thanks for watching. we'll see you again soon. hello there. despite some cloud across northern areas, especially across scotland, much of the country had a pretty decent day today with a good deal of sunshine around. it felt quite warm through the afternoon. that's how we're keeping things for the rest of this week. always a bit more cloud across this northwest corner with some rain at times, particularly the north and west of scotland. by far, the bulk of the dry, sunny weather will be across england and wales.

there may be the odd isolated shower here and there, but most places will stay dry. in fact, a pretty good looking week coming up all in all, thanks to high pressure which has been building in, killing off the showers, pushing away the weather fronts. it's left a legacy of cloud, though, and that's what we're going to see again across parts of the north of the uk and also some sea fog, some mist and murk here and there across north sea coasts in towards the irish sea as well, but generally dry for most with a few clear spells. temperatures 6—20 celsius. high pressure then dominates the scenes, gets a bit stronger across the country, so i think we'll see fewer showers for england and wales. but these weather fronts will bring thicker cloud, more of a breeze. outbreaks of rain to the northwest of the country, most places starting dry, a bit of mist and murk to start off with plenty of sunshine, england and wales, southern and eastern scotland, northern ireland. then we'll start to see splashes of rain with increasing breeze across the north and west of scotland into the afternoon. so, 13—14 degrees here, up to 20 for southern scotland, 21 or 22 in the warmest spots in england and wales, and winds generally light

coming in from the south. wednesday night, most places dry again with clear spells, with clear spells, variable cloud. stays quite cloudy, breezy with outbreaks of rain across the northern half of scotland through the night and temperatures again six to around ten degrees. so, for thursday, then i think we'll see more sunshine around across england and wales. bit of a cloudy start, then the sunshine really gets with the showers whatsoever — should stay completely dry. going and i don't think there'll be any issues with the showers whatsoever — should stay completely dry. a bit more cloud for northern scotland. the odd shower here, but southern scotland, northern ireland doing pretty well. temperatures 19 or 20 degrees here, 22 or 23, the warmest spots across england and wales. high pressure continues to bring fine weather on friday and into the weekend as well, but it starts to retreat towards the continent and allows low pressure to take over initially from the west as we head through the latter part of sunday. so it could be quite warm friday and certainly into the weekend across the south of the country.

by the end of sunday, we start to see a few showers, i think, pushing into western areas. take care.
