and the uk parliament tackles football — a new bill is introduced after calls for an independent regulator. sport and for a full round—up, here's the bbc sport centre. a football governance bill that will see an independent regulator oversee professional football in the uk has been introduced to parliament for the first time. the legislation would grant powers to a body, free from control of government and football authorities to oversee clubs in england's top five men's tiers and ensure long term financial stability of the men's professional game. it would include a funding deal for premier league clubs to give some of their money to clubs lower down the football pyramid. i see all sides and it is not for me as a government minister to be saying how much the premier league should be giving to the efl. what i would say is you need to make, it would say is you need to make, it would be helpful if you made an offer to efl and come to an arrangement between the two leagues.

if they do not do that, the regulator will do that for them. the gulf between tap _ will do that for them. the gulf between top and _ will do that for them. the gulf between top and bottom - will do that for them. the gulf between top and bottom has i will do that for them. the gulf - between top and bottom has grown to, it is a _ between top and bottom has grown to, it is a chasm _ between top and bottom has grown to, it is a chasm. the premier league turnover_ it is a chasm. the premier league turnover was _ it is a chasm. the premier league turnover was 45 million and efl was 34 a gap _ turnover was 45 million and efl was 34 a gap of— turnover was 45 million and efl was 34 a gap of 11 million, the gap is now 3— 34 a gap of 11 million, the gap is now 3 billion. it does not bridge or bowl _ now 3 billion. it does not bridge or bowl we — now 3 billion. it does not bridge or bowl. we want clubs to be able to thrive _ bowl. we want clubs to be able to thrive going upwards and downwards without— thrive going upwards and downwards without facing financial catastrophe. as a set, for us it is not about— catastrophe. as a set, for us it is not about efl versus the premier league. — not about efl versus the premier league. it — not about efl versus the premier league, it is about the magic of the pyramid _ to matters on the pitch and manchester united's breakthrough star this season kobbie mainoo has been called up to the senior england squad for the first time. the 18—year—old was originally named in the under—21s, but has been promoted to gareth southgate's team for the upcoming friendlies against brazil and belgium. those matches which will both be played at wembley will be england's final games before southgate names his squad for euro 2024.

meanwhile defender grant hanley has pulled out of scotland's squad for their upcoming friendlies against the netherlands and northern ireland. hanley had been set to return after an extended of time out after suffering with an achilles injury. no replacement has been called up to replace him. in the championship, birmingham city look set to return to a familar face, as they aim to move away from the relegation zone. they're poised to bring back former manager gary rowett as interim boss until the end of the season. if appointed, rowett will be birmingham's fourth manager of the season withjohn eustace and wayne rooney sacked, and current manager tony mowbray away from the dugout as he undergoes medical treatment. we're just a few moments away from a huge evening getting under way for chelsea's women as they aim to move a step closer to the perfect send off for outgoing manager emma hayes. they're in champions league quarter final action kicking off against ajax shortly. chelsea will be favourites for the tie, in a tournament they're trying to win for the first time with it being the last opportunity for hayes to lift the trophy, before she becomes the new manager of the usa women's team

at the end of the season. the management company of emma raducanu insist her back injury is �*nothing serious' despite it causing her to pull out of the miami open. raducanu was due to face china's wang xiyu in the first round today but withdrew to make sure she doesn't �*risk aggravating the injury' by playing in the tournament. the injury is the latest in a long line of setbacks that disrupted raducanu's season last year. meanwhile, great britain's davis cup team have found out who they'll play in the group stages of this year's tournament, which takes place in september. the 2015 champions will come up against canada, finland and argentina in manchester as they try to reach the knockout stages in malaga, later in the year. britain reached the quarter finals last year before being knocked out by serbia. world number one ronnie o'sullivan a step closer— world number one ronnie o'sullivan a step closer to winning his first world — step closer to winning his first world open title in tickets through to the _ world open title in tickets through to the last 16 after being the welshman by 5—3 frames. the welshman by 5-3 frames. the tournament _ welshman by 5-3 frames. the tournament taking _ welshman by 5—3 frames. tie: tournament taking place welshman by 5—3 frames. tte: tournament taking place for welshman by 5—3 frames. tt2 tournament taking place for the first time since 2019. names grand

potentially allow the government to hold another fiscal offence, another budgets, may be an audit and statement where they can potentially cut taxes at the start of september and hold an election in october, there are us presidential elections happening in november so probably it would be a good idea so there is not the destruction of what is happening in the states to maybe hold it in october. there are other others that 0ctober. there are other others that think it may be even later than that, may be holding the election in november as well, to give the maximum opportunity for the economic conditions to improve, for them to allow to get more asylum—seekers on flights we don't know at the end of the day. but you are right to say that the prime minister has not ruled out the 2nd of may which is when there are local elections, policing crime commissioner elections, may oral elections in various parts of england. logistically that would've made senseif logistically that would've made sense if they were going to hold it

in england's river wye. last year, the government's nature watchdog said the river's health was declining — with many blaming the rapid expansion of industrial chicken farms in the area. the food producer at the centre of the claims says they aren't supported by evidence. 0ur environment correspondent jonah fisher has the details. this was england's favourite river and now it's like something out of charlie and the chocolate factory. pete used to love taking his coracle out on the river wye. if you'd come here four years ago and we'd have been stood here, you could have seen the bottom of the river right the way across. it broughtjoy notjust to me, but to lots of people. but the joy for pete has gone. the declining health of the river means going out just isn't fun any more. it feeds my anxiety, my depression. it is damaging for my mental health. rather than coming off the river with a big grin and taking lots and lots of photos, which i then share, instead of that, i'm coming off angry. angry with who? angry with the people polluting the river. so, who's to blame? these guys are at least part of the problem. the last decade has seen a massive

expansion in chicken farming near the wye. and that means lots of chicken poo. and if too much of that is spread on fields as fertiliser, it runs off into the river and can turn it green. the use of huge industrial chicken sheds helps keep prices down at the supermarket, but with the decline of the river clear to see, the question now being asked is whether those who live and work along the river wye might be entitled to compensation. lawyers are targeting avara foods, the company that dominates chicken production near the wye. we're saying people who have property along the river, people who enjoy the river, people who use the river, they can all come forward. private property owners or have a right to have a legal right to be able to enjoy the river, be able to enjoy it without interference from pollution.

so this is the living room. and that's the view you get. the river wye in our garden. it's what people pay for. mark rents out a holiday home on the banks of the wye, and he's worried he'll lose out because the riverjust isn't an attraction any more. we can't, with all honesty, - say to people, help yourself swim in the river, because it's damaged. so let's wait and see how badly it affects our business. _ what are you hoping to achieve by being part of this group litigation? holding them to account. hitting them where it hurts — in their pocket, because thatj seems to be the only way. the only thing they understand. and getting restitution for the river. - somebody has to repair the damage. in a statement, avara foods said... jonah fisher, bbc news.

now how many of you remember this smash hit from the late 90s? #we # we will be singing when we are wending. # i get knocked down and i get up again...# it's a bit of an ear worm, but that is tubthumping by chumbawumba. the british punk band are in the spotlight once again, having demanded that the right wing new zealand politician winston peters stop using their biggest hit at his rallies. they say "tubthumping" is a song of hope for ordinary people not for politicians with what they called "bigoted views". they've told their record company to issue a legal notice. mr peters says there is nothing wrong with his party using the hit because it is not for commercial gain. winston peters has views that are at odds to everything that

chumbawumba stands for, he is anti—immigration, the rhetoric from him is egregious, and a lot of what he stands for in the way that he pushes his populist views which i think have a right wing element to them, and only cause hatred and division within communities. that song is specifically about different communities coming together in a pub in leeds, so everything he stands for is against that song. what about the freedom to use your music? some people might say it is flattering, that someone is using the music, even if you don't agree with it. we don't always agree with each other. what happened with the song, because of the nature of the song, the message is a universal message,

people don't realise the history of the band and what the band are trying to say with the song. and so it gets taken over by people who we would rather not use it or use it to promote their ideas and ideologies. it is not the first time this has happened. we have talked a lot about donald trump. i remember going to his rallies in the states in 2016 and you would hear the rolling stones and bruce springsteen, and adele, artists who did not want him playing their music at his rallies. the estate of sinead o'connor also says they do not want donald trump to use her songs. nigel farage used one of ours a few years ago, which was an appalling use of the song, which again we sent out a cease and desist letter. in terms of the other side of it, what will a cease and desist do, do they have to stop using it? to be honest, it is the fact

that we want to publicise the idea that we completely disagree with his ideology and viewpoint and we do not agree with him using the song. it is as much to publicise the idea that we stand against what he stands for and we do not want him to promote his politics with our song. it is good publicity for your song and i'm sure a lot of people will go to listen on spotify now. yes, but you get paid very little from spotify plays! you say politics and music should be mixed, but only if it suits your agenda? if it is a piece of art that we have created ourselves, i feel that we should have a say over how that is used and who uses it because it is our art and something we have created asa band. it's when it gets misused,

then i think it's within our remit to try and do something about it. once you sent the letter, what happens? does he have to stop using it? basically, yeah. if the process goes on, we have to sue him for using it and the process just goes on. rare bees living in the roof of national trust property plas yn rhiw in wales have been temporarily re homed. beekeepers have successfully moved five swarms of 50,000 welsh black honeybees to nearby hives while the house gets a new roof. 4,000 welsh slates from penrhyn quarry will be used for the first major re roofing project there in 200 years. black honey bees were believed to be nearly extinct by the early 20th century in all but the most remote parts of northern britain. let's speak to mary thoma, from the national trust. she is property operation managers at the manor house. the question

spoke to our host about how he believes people who are neurodivergent are being let down by society which was not built with that in mind. for most of my teenage and 20s, i thought that i was broken. i'm not a great fan of chris packham. that's a legacy of loathing myself because i was different. there seemed to be more people who were different than me and i didn't know anyone who was like me. so it was clearly me that was wrong. and somewhere upstairs amongst my, you know, sort of library of and catalogue of my life, there is a piece of a4 paper that says repeatedly, as if i was given lines at school, "everything i am is wrong." and i wrote that out. you know, i was obviously in a very dark place. i had mental health issues at that point, but that's where i was at. and yet even at that time, you know, i have good sensory capabilities, visuall, . . sensory capabilities, visually, i have a really good

memory, i'm good at putting things into patterns, but i couldn't identify that i had attributes. all i could see were my deficiencies and, you know, and there was no one there at that point to say, "listen, chris, actually, you are quite good at this because you're very, very focused, you're obsessionaly interested in things, you remember everything, and then you put all of that into somewhere where you can actually communicate it." that would have... that would have helped. so i think it's incredibly important that we focus on the abling aspects of that. i'm not one for advice, i'm not a health care professional, but people do ask me for my advice. and if it's parents with autistic youngsters or children, i do say something which might strike you as a little odd. i say, "look, frankly, just put them under a microscope, watch them with all the detail that you possibly can, and try and develop an understanding of the triggers that makes things go wrong. but equally, the triggers that make things go right."

because once you've identified those, then you can transform their environment to a place where they're less anxious, more capable, more able to explore the things that they are good at. one in five people are neurodivergent. give me a sense of how much of the population that is, and how much of a priority is currently being made in society. well, not enough, because if one in five are neurodivergent and we're not enabling them to maximise their capacity to be happy, fulfilled, employed, educated, socially stable, so on and so forth, then we're failing one in five people in society. that's not tolerable. why should they have less opportunity than anyone else? some of those people who've made quantum leaps in our thinking, our technology, engineering, art, whatever it happens to be, music, have certainly had traits which we could equate to being autistic.

temperatures keeping up at around 9—11 celsius across england and wales. scotland and northern ireland, around sixes and sevens. wednesday, then, we start off with rain in northern ireland — but the wettest weather looks likely to affect wales, northern england, and the midlands through the course of the day. it's not clear that we'll see rain as far north as northern scotland, so it might actually be a dry and bright day here, and a lot of cloud for east anglia, south—east england — could thicken up to give an odd patch of rain through the afternoon. but it will stay mild — 15—16 celsiusin the warmest spots. but it will stay mild — 15—16 celsius in the warmest spots. north midlands northwards, the weather will be cooler — temperatures around 10—11 at best. now, that cooler slice of weather across the north isn't going to last long, because we've got this slab of milder air moving in behind this warm front for thursday. and that is going to be bringing some more rain, particularly to scotland. and it's notjust wet weather, it's also going to be windy — with gusts across northern scotland reaching 50, perhaps 60mph. the rain trickles southwards

into northern ireland through the afternoon — but on thursday, across england and wales, cloud will probably thin and break to give some sunny spells. it will probably stay dry for wales, midlands, east anglia, and southern england. highest temperatures up to 16 celsius, so pretty mild. but it's all change again for friday — a cold front pushes southwards, introducing much cooler and fresher air, with those north—westerly winds following. so, weather—wise, our cold fronts bring some cloud and rain to england and wales during friday. the rain could be slow to clear away from south—east england. behind that the sun comes out, but there'll be loads of showers for scotland, northern ireland, and the north—west of both england and wales. the showers for these areas — heavy with some hail and thunder, and temperatures for the most part around about average, 9—12 celsius. it stays unsettled, then, through the weekend. loads more showers to come, and, as well as that, there'll be a chilly north—westerly wind. bye for now.
