Will finish without a bundesliga trophy after Bayer Leverkusen won the title at the weekend, ending an 11 year dominance by bayern munich. For me personally it is about trying to help the team in every situation, whether it is the bundesliga or the champions league, we have a great opportunity tomorrow night in front of our supporters to keep the season alive and to keep some hope amongst the supporters that we can achieve something special, even though it has not been the greatest season.

College basketball superstar Caitlin Clark has been drafted into the professional league as the first overall pick by the indiana fever. Clark is the all time leading scorer across mens and Womens College basketball, racking up the most three point shots ever in a single season a record previously held by professional player steph curry. She entered the wnba draft after finishing her final season as a senior at iowa university. This is the most Competitive League in the world, less than 144 places, so you have got to bring it every single night and i think that is what i will do and that is exactly how i lived my college career, every single game, i prepped the same way, i prepared the same way and brought the same fire and energy, and that is the biggest thing going into the next stage of my career. And thats all the sport for now. In the last few minutes, donald trump has returned to a court room in new york for the second day ofJury Selection in his hush money criminal trial. Hes been ordered by the judge to attend each day of the Jury Selection process, which began on monday, and could last all week. Mr trump has also been issued with a gag order relating to aspects of the case he had this to say to reporters before he went in. Thank you very much. This is a trial that should have never been brought. Its a trial that is being looked upon and looked at all over the world. Theyre looking at it and analysing it. Every legal pundit, every legal scholar said this trial is a disgrace. We have a trump hating judge. We have a judge who shouldnt be on this case. Hes totally conflicted. But this is a trial that should never happen. It should have been thrown out a long time ago. If you look atjonathan turley, andy mccarthy, all great legal scholars, theres not one that weve been able to find that said this should be a trial. I was paying a lawyer and marked it down as a legal expense. Some accountant i didnt know marked it down as a legal expense. Thats exactly what it was. And you get indicted over that . I should be right now in pennsylvania, in florida, in many other states, north carolina, georgia, campaigning. This is all coming from the Biden White House cos the guy cant put two sentences together. He cant campaign. Hes using this in order to try and win an election. And its not working that way. Its working the opposite way. So check that out. Legal expense. Its called legal expense. Thats what youre supposed to call it. Nobody� s ever seen it. Nobody has ever seen anything like it. So thank you very much for coming. I am now going to sit down. The voters understand it. All you have to do is look at the polls. This is a trial and the judge should recuse themselves. Thank you very much. Donald trump there arriving at court. We have a live page on the bbc website, by the way, they will be keeping that up to date with all of the latest developments from manhattan. The number of people out of work in the uk has risen. Figures from the office for National Statistics show the Unemployment Rate was 4. 2 between december and february, up slightly in the previous three months. But the number ofjob vacancies is still high. Theres been a rise in the number of people who are economically inactive, that is no longer looking for, or able to, work and that reflects a rise in the number of people who are long term sick. Dharshini david has the details. I would give anything to not kind of wake up every day feeling absolutely rubbish. 21 year old chloe lives with depression, Borderline Personality Disorder and autism. She took up work at 16 but that didnt last long. Currently a student, she is concerned about a lack of understanding. They dont really understand the complexity of mental illness. Its not something that. Although there are days that i cant get out of bed days and weeks and months that i dont get out of bed in a depressive episode there is also days and weeks and months i cant keep myself safe and going to work is dangerous for me. The number of young people like chloe getting personal independence payments from the government related to Mental Health disorders has tripled over eight years. But why . The pandemic definitely had a big one off effect. We saw a real big increase in the prevalence of people reporting a first Mental Health condition. And actually, The Cost Of Living crisis has compounded that further and there is some evidence pointing towards some causal impacts of use of smartphones leading to worse Mental Health. But i think its still really not clear. But the largest increase in the number of those on disability related benefits has been among older people who are more likely to suffer physical ailments for many reasons. Ruth, who is 59, survived Breast Cancer only to be struck by long covid, which has left her with complex problems from asthma and fatigue to arthritis and unable to return to herjob in a supermarket. Ok, this is me before i had covid and long covid. Id like to be back there again and not have that. But you cant change things, can you . It changes how you feel about yourself, the contribution you can make to society, the contribution to the family, the bills and everything like that. So its been very, very hard at times but ive had to come to terms with it. The minister here responsible for the Labour Market acknowledges that some have complex challenges but it is concerned things may have gone too far. The government argues that households are better supported by work rather than welfare. So its £2. 5 billion back to work plan focuses on just that, via, for example, Benefit Reform and occupational health. But that may not suit everyone. There is a record 2. 8 Million People not working due to illness. Over 700,000 more than before the pandemic. The public purse paid out £65 billion in benefits related to poor health last year. Official projections say that could top £90 billion by 2029 thats before the cost to households and employers. Employers, the government, health and education providers all have a role to play, enable those like chloe and ruth to work again, but many Public Services may face squeezed budgets. A complex prescription is needed to keep britain working. Now before we go, lets leave with this amazing footage of an extraodinary cat who is cleaning up englands streets one piece of litter at a time. Yes, thats right, this is tofu the Kitten A Stray adopted by Jane Sweet Last year. Since then shes spotted through her Security Camera the little cat repeatedly bringing random bits of rubbish home. You can see old crisp bags, cardboard containers, and even a roll of unused dog poo bags through his cat flap. Nextjob get him to drop it in the bin hello, there. Its not been as windy today. Theres still a number of showers around, mind you. If we look out in the atlantic, this is where weve got High Pressure at the moment. And around that, there is some cloud coming in. Well get some of that later tonight and into tomorrow. But ahead of that, weve still got these north to north westerly winds. They are feeding in this colder air and a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which could be heavy, had some threatening clouds already. Were going to find some heavier showers pushing into the South East Of England later on in the day. These are the temperatures. So were still below average. Could make double figures, though, across the central belt, and i4 perhaps in south wales. But there will be some heavier showers as we head towards the end of the afternoon. Those In The South East will move away. Well see another band of showers pushing across Northern England and wales and some further wintry showers overnight in northern scotland. But there will be some clearer skies around it as well and the winds will continue to ease down a bit, too. So it is going to be quite chilly out there with a frost more likely across the northern half of the uk. Heading into tomorrow, this is the cloud thats coming in from the atlantic thats going to bring a little rain to Northern Ireland and eventually into wales. But elsewhere, after a fairly bright and sunny start, well see the cloud building up. Well see more showers breaking out, not quite as heavy, not quite as widespread as weve seen over the past couple of days. But if anything, after that colder start, temperatures could be a bit lower in the afternoon, typically only ten degrees on wednesday afternoon. Now, that cloud comes on that Weather Front there, which sinks its way southwards around the High Pressure. Another Weather Front arrives overnight into thursday morning for northern parts of the uk. But with clearer skies and light winds across england and wales, there is actually a risk of A Touch Of Frost here. Sunny start maybe, but weve got More Cloud For Scotland and Northern Ireland. Some outbreaks of rain, the heavier rain over the hills of western scotland. Some of that rain pushes southwards into Northern England with the sunshine hanging on towards the south west with cloud elsewhere and temperatures typically around 12 degrees. Now, the Weather System bringing that rain is going to move very quickly southwards overnight and during friday. And then following on from that, we get the High Pressure thats in the atlantic, finally Building Back towards the uk, and that will bring us some much needed drier weather in time for the weekend. It could, though, bring a fair bit of cloud and its certainly not going to be as warm as it was last weekend. Live from jerusalem. This is bbc news.
