And how many do you think youre going to have here . Well, people living here and working here will be about 4,000 people. Nottingham, maidenhead a transformation is under way. It is a moment to think carefully. David sillito, Bbc News, nottingham. Time for a look at the weather, heres louise lear. Its all been about the rain so far this month, but today the emphasis has been on the wind and it has been quite significant, particularly in the last couple of hours. In Pembrey Sands along the South Coast of wales, winds in excess of 70 mph, thatis wales, winds in excess of 70 mph, that is very unusual for this time of year. Yes, there has been some rain around, some of the heaviest across wales and into northern england. This Low Pressure will stay with us through the night and even into tomorrow as well. The strong winds will continue to develop over the next few hours and shift their emphasis a bit further south, so first Thing Tomorrow it looks likely we will see strong winds continuing across the West Coast of wales but also through the Bristol Channel and the english channel, so we could see gusts of wind widely in excess of 50 to 60 mph and even inland up to 50 mph gusts as well. Windy started friday, a wet one in some places as the Low Pressure tracks eastwards bringing bands of showery rain. Western scotland and Northern Ireland perhaps a little drier but a windy day for all unfortunately, and i suspect if you are under the Cloud And Rain it is pretty irrelevant but temperatures on the thermometer up to 14 degrees. That low will continue to drift eastwards, and the isobars will open up. If we track the isobars to the North West and indication of whats to come for saturday. It will be drier with sunshine but dont expect the temperatures to pick up because of the wind direction. A few scattered showers across the south, temperatures of nine to 14 degrees. Yesterday i talked about an improving picture, we are still optimistic that things will certainly turn drier into next week but only slowly will we start to see the temperatures begin to climb. George. Louise, thank you. 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. Coming up on the programme tonight. Well have the latest on Day One of the us Pga Championship as the worlds best attempt to tame the tricky Kiawah Island conditions on the atlantic coast. After his resignation from West Brom is Big Sam resigned to his reputation as a short term fix. With 100 Days until the paralympics a groundbreaking initiative aimed at lifting the nation. Good evening. To Kiawah Island first, Day One of the us Pga Championship where the woprlds best are attempting to tame the tough conditions of the South Carolina course. It is though two more unfamiliar names are in a share of the lead, Scotlands Martin Laird and Englishmen Tom Lewis whove both started brilliantly. Kat downes is with me this evening. Kat youre covering the tournament this week. We will talk about the conditions in a moment, we spoke a lot about that in the lead up, but Martin Lead, a name perhaps unfamiliar to many, probably hasnt torn up trees as far as the majors are concerned. He has been there for a while. At one point, he was the only scotsman one point, he was the only scotsman on the tour, so he has been kind of holding his own, born in glasgow, and just absolutely riveting up ripping it up at the moment, early Days. You mention Tom Lewis is welcoming he has drifted away, just drop down to a type of third. But thatis drop down to a type of third. But that is Martin Lead there, birdie on 15th for thejoint lead, that is Martin Lead there, birdie on 15th for the joint lead, and then a birdie on 16 as well. Thats gave him the outright lead. He is now in a 4 Way Type for the lead with Keegan Bradley the 2011 champion and Brooks R who one in 2018 and 2019 as well. Now, Martin Lead, he last played pga, his best result was in 2012, a tie for 42, and of course, in 2012, the pga was played on the ocean course, so maybe he kept his notes in his bag and he has got them back out nine years later. This could farewell back out nine years later. This could farewell for back out nine years later. This could farewell for them over the coming Days, because you just want to have a good start and be able to build on that in the coming Days. Tom lewis, the leading englishmen at the moment, again, there or thereabouts, what we know about them . Are we surprised that he has produced this kind of golf on Opening Day . Produced this kind of golf on Opening Day . Produced this kind of golf on Opening Day . You mention the conditions Opening Day . You mention the conditions in Opening Day . You mention the conditions in the Opening Day . You mention the conditions in the course, Opening Day . You mention the conditions in the course, it Opening Day . You mention the conditions in the course, it is l Opening Day . You mention the l conditions in the course, it is so tricky. It is really going to throw the cat amongst the pigeons come in the cat amongst the pigeons come in the Opening Round of a major, you always see people up there that you wouldnt necessarily expect to. Tom lewis from garden city, 30 years old, this is his chip on the eight that wejust saw old, this is his chip on the eight that we just saw there, he has missed the cut at his last document previous pga tournament, so 2019, 2020, the only two that he has played out. He missed the of times. It is pretty surprising to see him up it is pretty surprising to see him up in the mix, given that he is in a five way tie third with the likes of henrik stenson, the 2016 open winner, Stewarts Income of the 2009 open winner, and collin, the defending champion. So he is robbing rubbing shoulders with the best. That is the Leader Board at the moment as you can see. Keegan bradley, brooks kept up, they have both won the title before kept up, of course, he is coming back from a Knee Injury in march. He had surgery in march. Everyone was really expecting them to be up there and challenging because he says that he is only hitting, you know, just about hitting his driver now without pay, but on the kind of ten out times without that. He has a really exciting young norwegian. He has really been setting it alight on the pga tour. Everyone has him pinned for a major, so good to see him out there, and call in from of the defending champion alongside Martin Lead. It looks like hes slipped, actually, from the lead. So it is all changing very quickly. Interesting as well, ray mcelroy, spoken so much about him in the lead up, but to over as things stand. Consistency has been the problem for him, hasnt to . He brought this Swing Coach Tojust him, hasnt to . He brought this Swing Coach to just try to break it down for him. Here he is on his first hole, which is the tenth, he started on the tenth, just going from bunker to bunker here, finally, those Sand Areas which are so deep, and a few of them, that one has been raked, but there arent rakes and most of them at the island, so sand everywhere, Big Swales by the greens, and that sand is such a trap because its flanks all the fairways, and it isnt manicured. So we have seen rory and some really tough spots. Hes been in the grass, digging it out at those kind of sandy wastelands. So, he is battling, i would say to over i think they said he was, its not too bad. He is still in touch. In think they said he was, its not too bad. He is still in touch. Bad. He is still in touch. In those conditions. Bad. He is still in touch. In those conditions, its bad. He is still in touch. In those conditions, its worth bad. He is still in touch. In those conditions, its worth pointing i bad. He is still in touch. In thosej conditions, its worth pointing up the course length, which is a which is playing extremely long. The longest in history. If which is playing extremely long. The longest in history. Longest in history. If they set it u. Longest in history. If they set it u to be longest in history. If they set it no to be the longest in history. If they set it up to be the long longest in history. If they set it up to be the long stick longest in history. If they set it up to be the long stick and longest in history. If they set it up to be the long stick and be l longest in history. If they set it i up to be the long stick and be its well over 7800 yards, which is an absolute monster. So we are used to seeing the top players preying on the Par Fives, seeing the top players preying on the parfives, bring on the Par Threes to pick up bernies. Thats not expected to be the case here because it is so long. We have seen them taking driver, five iron from not being anywhere near the green on Par Fives and having to really whack a three word on the par three. The 17th is an absolute animal. To really deep bunkers to the left of the green there. Its a really tricky hole. Its a really tricky course, and the wind is expected to switch around, so at the moment and its coming in from the east. They have played all of their practice rounds with that when coming in from the east, but at the beacon committed to so the posters which around come to the west. It will be an exciting few Days.

Having resigned as West Brom manager despite the clubs best attempts to keep him. He cut a frustrated figure after defeat in their final Home Game of the season, seemingly resigned to his own reputation as a short Term Manager. But having been relegated from the Premier League for the first time in his career. Is he still the go to man for a club in trouble . Lydia campbell reports. Last night, sam announced The End of his latest football adventure, he will leave West Bromwich at The End of the season and now has Question Marks over what is next.

He might describe himself as shortterm, but when he that i am. He might describe himself as shortterm, but when he first that i am. He might describe himself as shortterm, but when he first had as short term, but when he first had success at bolton, his tenure there was anything but. He sent eight seasons with the trotters, guiding them back to the top flight in 2001, and even having a european adventure, but despite being in bolton, his time there ended on a sour note and he resigned in 2007. Newcastle was his next port of call, but this time, it really was short term, only lasting eight months. A two Year Spell at Blackburn Rovers followed before four years at west ham, where he achieved a promotion and Premier League safety before leaving in 2015. Sunderland was his next destination and was perhaps his biggest challenge yet. They were 19 when he took over, but remarkably lead them to safety. His success at sunderland then paved the way for the most dramatic period in his career, first best. Excuse me, Cant Stop smiling because i got thisjob. Ive waited for thisjob for many, because i got thisjob. Ive waited for this job for many, many years. But than this.

What make you wonder, dont you . Difficult these four westbound. Very different story for leeds who flourished, and theirjoint owners, 49 enterprises who own a 37 stake in the club. Vice chairman told the bbc Sports Editor about successes coming, and started by responding to the criticism leveled at the american owners of the Premier League clubs involved in The Field super proposals. This idea isjust one groups path, but its not the only path. There are other ways that you can improve and involve evolve, and improve the Asset Value of the league or individual clubs. I dont know what thatis, individual clubs. I dont know what that is, you know, i can chicken scratch some ideas down on a piece of paper, do i understand where they are coming from . Certainly. I would love to, once i matriculate to a certain status, i would love to keep that status for the rest of my life. But do i go to the 49ers on her right now and say, hey, i have achieved this level of status as an executive . I now would like to be paid this amount for the rest of my life. Regardless of whether a Performing Duties well or not. Can i understand, can one understand why i would want that, sure, it gives me financial security for the rest of my life, writes . I my earning its . Know. Meg what you think the future is potentially for a club like leads united, a club with a huge Fan Base, a loyalFan Base . I united, a club with a huge Fan Base, a loyal Fan Base . A loyal Fan Base . I think this guy is the limit is the limit. I is the limit. I think Leeds United can be, is the limit i think Leeds United can be, should be, will be one of the biggest clubs in the world. I think this year, its evidenced by the fact that the confidence, flair, style that we play with is just entertaining football. I thank you see already from the first match, i think of you know, we played liverpool in the opening match, and you canjust see that it was just Everybody Yearning for Leeds United to be back in the Premier League
