The south west we have showers developing from a low Pressure Point here. It looks as though temperatures will sit close to freezing in many places so a chilly start and before i look at wednesday, lets look ahead and see the general trend and a couple of Weather Fronts to clear away, and this one will allow another area of High Pressure to drift down from the north and that will be quite significant because a north easterly flow will drive in a Cooler Air Mass across the country and a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather over the next few days. Back to wednesday, however, it looks likely it will start off with showers around across parts of cornwall, devon and into south wales and they will gradually drift north and they will gradually drift north and east along the m4 corridor. The low cloud, mist and murkiness perhaps just drifting but lingering along the north sea coast and some brighter skies out to the west, but a difference to the feel of the weather further north and we might see highest values of 14 in the south east if we are lucky but then the cooler air arrives through thursday and friday and a noticeable difference for all. Difference for all. George. Thank ou, difference for all. George. Thank you. Louise thats all from the bbc news at six, so its goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc� s news teams where you are. Hello and welcome to sportsday. Im catherine downs. Racings image crisis continues another image of a dead horse on the gallops, a jockey on top, while horses are moved from Gordon Elliots yard, with cheltenham just two weeks away. Part of the original liverpool Revolution Ian Stjohn has died at the age of 82. Well look back at his two great careers on the pitch and on the screen. And andy murray talks about the stress and motivation of proving his critics wrong every time he plays. Hello good evening. More disturbing pictures from the world of horse racing today as the sports image crisis deepens. Yesterday the grand National Winning trainer Gordon Elliot issued an apology, after a photograph appeared of him sitting on a dead horse on the training gallops. Hes been temporarily banned from racing in britain while the incident is investigated. Elliot has said it was a moment of madness. Today eight horses have been removed from elliots yard to train elsewhere including Cheltenham Festival favourite envoi allen. The festival is just two weeks away. And also today, a video has emerged of Amateurjockey Robjames climbing on a horse that died of a heart attack while training hes apologised too, saying his actions were wholly inappropriate and disrespectful, he say� s hes heartbroken by the damage hes caused. So with the controversial cheltenham and aintree meetings just around the corner, where Horse Welfare is always in the spotlight how damaging has this been to the sports reputation . Earlier, i spoke to the british horse racing authoritys director of Equine Health and welfare james given, and i started by asking him for his reaction to the images at the center of the storm. Im deeply saddened, and actually more than that, angry. Angry for all the people who work in sport whose values are just not represented by those images. Ive worked on it for nearly three decades now and i have never seen any behaviour that resembles this. Itsjust never seen any behaviour that resembles this. Its just in normas frustration that what this represents two people who arent interested in horse racing who get presented with these images is that its just unrecognisable to everybody who works in the sport and cares for horses very deeply.

He could give you a lashing and he could give you really some good advice. He was one of those players who you didnt mess with, and a lot of the other players would do because the saint was like that. Next to him was tommy smith.
