david sillito, bbc news, malmo. now, welcome to my bar! before the weather, how often do you read the small print on anything you buy? well, a free bottle of wine has finally been claimed after three months, with news of the prize hidden in a privacy policy. the tax policy associates added the clause in february as an experiment, to see if anyone would actually read the full terms and conditions. the first person to spot it would get the plonk. it took three months! time for a look at the weather. here's ben. it feels more like some out there than spring today, sunny skies overhead and temperatures well into the 20s celsius. as we head into the weekend, will it last? it will at first, it's going to be warm. saturday is dry for many with some
1:31 pm
sunshine but on sunday things start to break down, the increasing chance of some thundery showers. this is what is going on right now, for most of us you can see not a lot of cloud out there. some cloud across the north of scotland giving some bits and pieces of rain but even here it is largely dry. further south, patchy cloud, good spells of sunshine, perhaps turning a little bit murky for some eastern coasts of england but the temperature is easily 22—24, may be up to 25 degrees. this evening, if you are heading out and about, it will be fine, sunny skies giving weird clear skies overnight and if the skies are clear you may get a glimpse of the aurora borealis, a lot of solar activity. in fact a solar storm heading our way so don't be surprised if you get a glimpse of the northern lights, particularly in the northern lights, particularly in the north of the uk, may be further south, perhaps not across the central and eastern parts of england where cloud will be rolling in and it may turn misty and murky as well. certainly not a cold night, a fairly warm start to saturday morning,
1:32 pm
certainly once the sun gets going. the area of cloud rolling back to the north again for most it's a fine, sunny, very warm day. however, there is a chance we'll see some showers and may be the odd thunderstorm popping up across scotland, particularly over high ground. that said, in the sunshine, glasgow for example likely to get 2a celsius, possibly the odd shower for western counties of northern ireland. the bulk of england and wales dry, highs of 25 but for some of the north sea coasts, maybe yorkshire, lincolnshire, the norfolk coast, we may see load cloud and mist in this at times. our area of high pressure tends to give way to these frontal systems pushing in from the west, the change quite erratic in nature. it's not going to happen all at once but we will start to see some showers and thunderstorms breaking out particularly across the western half of the uk. further east, parts of eastern england, likely to stay dry. sunday could be the warmest day,
1:33 pm
highs of 25—26 but that does not last. let me show you next week. we are back to spring showers, some rain at times, temperatures much lower than they have been, 15—18 degrees. enjoy the sunshine where you get it this weekend. that's it. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. but now let's join our news teams where you are. have a great afternoon. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this lunchtime... a disappointment, but one that might be short lived. will aston villa respond to missing out on a european final by reaching its elite competition next season? the man in charge of the team that beat villa is hoping his other club can stay in the premier league alongside them. we speak to the olympiakos and nottingham forest owner.
1:34 pm
after a week that's decided finalists in europe it's time to turn the attention to those in domestic football, with last year's runners up manchester united and opponents spurs attempting to win the women's fa cup for the first time. hello again. there are some surprise names in the finals of european club football this season and aston villa were hoping to be one of them. they fell just short ofjoining the likes of borussia dortmund and atalanta, losing to another — olympiakos — in the semifinals of the europa conference league. attempting to reach their first final in 42 years, villa were beaten 2—0 in greece last night. ayoub el kaabi adding two more to the hat—trick he scored for olympiakos in the first leg, as they completed a 6—2 aggregate win.
1:35 pm
but still, villa's disappointment might be short—lived. that's because unai emery�*s side are fourth in the premier league right now and need just one win from their remaining two matches to secure a place in next year's champions league. villa haven't played in the top tier of european football since 1983. we had the opportunity and we have two matches against liverpool and crystal palace to get fourth position. it's an amazing, amazing motivation, a very great motivation we have with our supporters. we have to be disappointed a little bit, but a little bit. and we have to react quick in our mind to focus for the match on monday. villa's conquerors meanwhile have made history in reaching the conference league final. it's the first in europe that olympiakos have reached. and their match against fiorentina will be played in athens just ten miles from their own stadium.
1:36 pm
the greek club's owner evangelos marinakis also owns nottingham forest, who remain in the thick of a premier league relegation battle after their appeal against a points deduction for breaking financial rules was rejected. and have been outspoken in their criticism of referees this season. for me, it's not fair. but as i said, very soon i will be speaking about it. it's not fair, and i'm sure it's not fair what's happened so far, with these decisions that have cost us a lot of points. this is something that has been repeated and repeated. and what we expect from the premier league and from the referees is to correct these mistakes. but we see this has been repeated and repeated to something we have a big concern. i think what i have done so far for forest, the
1:37 pm
investment and the time, i think we have achieved great things. and now we want to build an epic stadium and do a lot of things for nottinghamshire. it's a great thing, anything that inspires us. and we want to do more. and you will see in the years to come that we have also big dreams for forest. and it's the right thing to have such dreams. while forest continue to voice their frustrations at the premier league points deduction everton have withdrawn their appeal against the latest one they were given for breaching spending rules. they were docked two points last month for a second transgression, having already been punished earlier in the season. but after they secured survival they've decided not to pursue
1:38 pm
the appeal that was due to be heard next week. david beckham says the current manchester united team can be inspired by the treble—winning side he was a part of in 1999. a documentary�*s been released to mark 25 years since united became the first team to claim the premier league, fa cup and champions league in one season, and despite the club only being eighth in the table beckham's former team—mate gary neville insists it's only a matter of time before united start winning trophies consistently again. i hope ihope in i hope in three orfour weeks i hope in three or four weeks that this fa cup final against manchester city, which is such a tough game, we know how good city are, but if they can just defy the odds, who knows where that might lead to. in 1989 sir alex ferguson won the fa cup and it put the belief into him and a group of players who then went on to win the cup winners�* cup, a league cup and eventually the league title. it was building block by block and step—by—step and that could be just around the corner or it could be a few years away but they will win
1:39 pm
again, manchester united. it is inevitable. both manchester united teams are in the fa cup final of course. the men will play manchester city in a couple of weeks�* time. but the women, who�*ve never won their version of the trophy before take on spurs at wembley on sunday with former england goalkeeper rachel brown—finnis claiming united start as favourites. united lost to chelsea in last year�*s final but then beat them in the semis this time around. spurs haven�*t won the women�*s fa cup before either but brown—finnis, who lifted the trophy with everton in 2010, expects united will be doing the same this weekend. you know how good this manchester united team is. theyjust have to bring it on a more regular occasion. starting this sunday. it is hard to follow a champions league qualifying season, finishing third, top for most of the season. and there was always i felt going to be a bit of a drop—off. this team is only five years old, manchester united. it didn�*t have a team before that. so to be getting it so right so early on, a lot of credit goes to the club, to marc skinner, the fans the
1:40 pm
players. rory mcilroy had a solid opening round at the wells fargo championship in north carolina — an event he�*s won three times, at a place where he feels very much at home. he said the people of charlotte had treated him as one of their own since he took his very first tour title there 1a years ago. mcilroy fired a a—under—par 67 to finish the day three shots behind the leader xander schauffele. they�*re building up to the second major of the season, the us pga championship, which starts next thursday at valhalla in kentucky. andy murray has decided to bring forward his return from an ankle injury in the run—up to the french open. he has been out of action since late march and has confirmed he�*ll play at the challenger event in bordeaux next week before taking up a wildcard at the geneva 0pen. he plans to play at the french open for what is likely to be the final time — that starts on 26th may. murray turns 37 next week and he�*s expected to retire at the end of the season.
1:41 pm
meanwhile another former grand slam champion, dominic thiem, has announced he�*ll definitely retire later this year. he�*s just 30, but a wrist injury derailed the 2020 us 0pen winner�*s career, which also included three other major finals and a best world ranking of three. sprinter daryll neita says her goals are "through the roof" as she continues to work towards this summer�*s olympic games in paris. she admitted she�*d shocked herself in beating the reigning 100 metres world champion sh�*carri richardson with her win in the 200 at last week�*s diamond league meeting in suzhou. ahead of her latest appearance in doha tonight, which is live on bbc two from 5pm, neita insists the olympic podium is within her sights. he�*s learning a different sport, but louis rees zammit is drawing experience from his previous one as he begins his nfl career. the rugby union convert has compared new kansas city chiefs teammate patrick mahomes with dan biggar — his old fly half with wales — as he attempts to work his way into the super bowl champions�* regular season roster as a running back.
1:42 pm
you�*re looking at a quarterback and probably a fly half is probably the most similar position in rugby. patrick is unbelievable at reading a game. i think playing with dan biggar was probably my favourite time. he�*s one of the best tens to ever play the game. you can really see how they read the game so quick and are able to make decisions very quick as well. i think the comparison in that, is i would probably say patrick mahomes, he can read the game, he can read his queues, he can scan a defence quick and make plays as well. dan has done that since he made his debut. i think he was 18 for wales. louis rees—zammit, learning to run very fast with the ball in one spot having done it previously in another sport. there is panty more on the bbc website and app. thanks very
1:43 pm
much. —— there is plenty more. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. you are watching bbc news. five babies have died this year from hooping cough following a surge in cases that have been reported by health officials. they have been nearly 2800 cases in england this year. the uk health security agency says a decline in uptake of the vaccine and the very low numbers seen during the pandemic were both factors in the rise. a 22—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman was stabbed near a bus stop in edgware in north west london. the woman in her 60s was treated by paramedics but died at the scene. police say it was an isolated incident and no further suspects are being sought.
1:44 pm
the mother of a teenager who was fatally stabbed is calling for the devastating impacts of knife crime to be taught in secondary schools. 16—year—old max dixon died in hospital after being stabbed close to his home in bristol injanuary. his mum, leanne ekland, is campaigning for bleed—kit training to be part of the national curriculum. our home affairs correspondent fiona lamdin reports. i want max to be remembered for the child that he was, not the child that was killed by knife crime. lianne lost her 16—year—old son, max, just over three months ago. he was stabbed with his best friend, mason, close to his home. he was very popular. i knew he was popular because i worked in the same school as max. so everyone knew that i was max�*s mum. he was quite proud of that, actually. he always used to come and see me on break times
1:45 pm
and he was never embarrassed that i was his mum. you were close. the two of you were very close. very close. yeah, very close. i miss him a lot. every day, as soon as i walk out through my bedroom door, i see his bedroom door, and then it all hits me. so... but each day is a struggle. but i�*ve got to do something. that people don�*t tell, don�*t report or don�*t phone the police. leanne now wants to make bleed kit training compulsory in secondary schools. and tonight they�*ve brought the session to the football club, where max used to play. i've had multiple run—ins with knife crime as my mate's been mugged at knife point. and, obviously, we had the tragic events of max mason. i had another knife—related incident with being threatened with one. so i found it very sensitive myself. it taught me, like, the consequences. instead of piping down and just keeping humble, you've got to... sometimes you've got to be brave enough to speak up and just tell someone about it. didn�*t know, like, a stabbing looked like that. and it like... i don�*t know. itjust made me feel a bit weird. you need to know when to speak up and when to not really.
1:46 pm
but stuff like knife crime, you really do need to speak up
