weekend, you can keep up to date on the bbc news channel. good afternoon, it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news... good afternoon, we're starting with the news today that there have been some big changes at yorkshire county cricket club in the wake of the racism scandal. the director of cricket martyn moxon and coach andrew gale are among 16 people to have left yorkshire. it follows a report which found former player azeem rafiq was a victim of "racial harassment and bullying" at the club. yorkshire's new chairman lord patel said "significant change is required. the decisions were difficult to make, but are in the best interests of the club. a new director of cricket is expected to be appointed imminently. still with cricket and there's mixed news for england ahead of the ashes which start next week. importantly, allrounder ben stokes looks in decent form, hitting 42 in his first game for more than 4 months. it was just an intra squad warm—up game but stokes took two wickets and then hit 6 fours in 56 balls before retiring. not so good with the other batters — captain joe root and jonny bairstow falling for first ball ducks and hameed and malan only making single figures in the first innings. england's preparations have been severely hampered by rain the football association's chief executive mark bullingham has apologised for the disorder at wembley at this year's euro 2020 final saying "many suffered a terrible experience on what should have been an historic night". his apology follows an independent report by baroness louise casey in which she calls the disorder "a day of national shame for england" adding "there was a series of very near misses which could have led to a loss of life." the report details that around two thousand people got into the england v italy game illegally, particularly through disabled and emergency entrances. the report also said there was a "collective failure" in planning, including a "vulnerable" and inexperienced stewarding operation. it also cites the police deployment arrived "too late". football and after watching manchester united beat arsenal from the stands last night, united's new interim manager ralf rangnick has given his first press conference at old trafford. the german had plenty to say including admitting "it was a job offer he couldn't turn down" and saying that he's "not ruling staying—on as manager" beyond his initial six months in charge. imean, at i mean, at the time when chelsea contacted me last year or this year, in february, they only spoke about the option to become interim manager forfour months. so, it was in february, without any perspective to work in the long term together and here, now we're talking about six and a half months. we've also agreed upon a two—year advisory role after those six and a half months and in the end, to be honest, if a club like manchester united contact you for such a role, you cannot possibly turnit for such a role, you cannot possibly turn it down. right now, i'm fully aware that they might be looking for aware that they might be looking for a new manager. if they will then speak with me about that, we will see. it if they ask me for my opinion, and as you said, everything goes well with the development team, i might even make the same recommendation to the board that i did at leipzig twice, when i recommended to them that it might be a good idea to keep working with me for another year. the quarter—finals are underway at snooker�*s uk championships in york — later will see barry hawkins face world number 102 andy hicks and it's also jack lisowski against zhao xintong. but right now, the seven time champion ronnie 0'sullivan is taking on kyren wilson in a rematch of the 2020 world championship final, which 0'sullivan won. these are live pictures from bbc two. wilson has just taken the first two frames. the first frame, he had 92 on his break. the second break was 117. so, kyren wilson is looking very good against the experienced ronnie 0'sullivan. is the first six frame, he will win. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. you can follow practice from the f one, drivers are getting their first go on the new saudi street track ahead of the weekend's saudi arabia grand prix. good afternoon. you are watching bbc news. more now on one of our top stories... the independent report into disorder at the euro 2020 final injuly, which has concluded that disruptive fans and a lack of planning turned a glorious occasion into a day of national shame. commander rachel williams from the metropolitan police gave this statement a little earlier. through hindsight and baroness casey's analysis, it's clear that the events before the match overshadowed the anticipated incident following the penalty shoot out. whilst we had police presence in wembley across the day, we accept that the bulk of this was not present early enough to prevent scenes of disorder. it is a matter of deep regret that policing and all of those involved in the planning for the euro 2020 final did not foresee events before the match outside wembley and in central london. the pleasing events on the 11th ofjuly were truly unique when considering the consequences faced as a result of the global pandemic and government restrictions on gatherings. restrictions on public gatherings had significantly constrained the ability of police and staging officials to disperse crowds into fan zones. this is a risk that the met and other partners repeatedly raised on a number of occasions and is a critical area of concern to baroness casey's report. as hoards of fans descended on wembley, police were faced with an impossible situation. 0fficers did their very best to manage an unprecedented number of people who gathered in wembley way. we are clear and the report recognises that had our officers not taken swift, proactive and decisive action following the scenes of disorder, this match could have been abandoned. that was the response of the metropolitan police to that very strongly worded report. in the last hour, the death has been announced of the renowned stage actor, sir antony sher. he was 72 and had cancer. his death was announced by the royal shakespeare company. he was widely regarded as one of the country's finest contemporary classical

also heard from a statement read on behalf of arthur's mother, who said her life will never be the same again. in terms of what happens next, what is happening at the moment is that there is an independent review going on, looking at what contact social services had with little arthur in the months beforehand and whether anything could have been done, any opportunities, whether they were missed in terms of trying to spot what had happened but the court heard during the trial that arthur's paternal grandmother, she had spotted a bruise on arthur's shoulder some time before emma tustin murdered the six—year—old and she raised that but social services, the court heard, did look into it but no further action was taken. so this independent review will be looking at all of those issues and whether the contacts made with arthur was enough, whether there were missed opportunities. this all happened during the first lockdown in march of last year, and so that review, we don't know when that will conclude that they will clearly be talking to all of the authorities that were involved and whether any opportunities were missed. thank you for now. opportunities were missed. thank you for

lift the limit on compensation. there is usually a £700 limit on compensation for losing your power but we are just hearing from ofgem that is going to allow customers to be compensated for up to £140 for every day that they have no power. that is the compensation that can be claimed. £140 a day for every day without power. you will know that several of the energy companies have talked about the sheer scale of the problem is that they are dealing with. we know that members of the armed forces are on the ground, trying finally to give some support to the people who have spent so long without power and are still without power in very cold temperatures. alec baldwin, has said he doesn't feel guilty about the fatal shooting of cinematographer halyna hutchins on the set of his film rust in october — because he doesn't feel responsible for the incident. in an interview broadcast on us tv last night, he said he cocked the gun that killed ms hutchins, but didn't pull the trigger and that he didn't know who had put a live bullet in the gun. he admitted that his acting career may now be over as a result of the shooting. i sat on that pew right before they called lunch and i said, "this movie has made me love making movies again." i used to love to make movies. idid. you know. now, alec baldwin says he's not sure he'll ever work again after something went horribly, horribly wrong when he was rehearsing a scene, pointing what he believed to be an empty gun at halyna, as she directed him to do. i would never point a gun at anyone and pull a trigger, never. that was the training that i had. you don't point a gun at anyone and pull the trigger. even after halyna collapsed, and directorjoel souza screamed, it didn't occur to the actor that a live round was in the gun he'd been holding. he didn't experience what he described as the insanity—inducing agony of that realisation until much later. just as you disbelieved that there was a live round in the gun, you disbelieved that this was going to be a fatal accident. so you didn't know exactly how serious it was. at the very end of my interview with the sheriff's department, they said to me, "we regret to tell you that she didn't make it. she died." they told me right then and there. and that's when i went in the parking lot. i called my wife, to talk to my wife. the actor said he hadn't checked the weapon himself, but had put his trust in the 24—year—old armourer, hannah gutierrez reid. her lawyer said the set was sabotaged. that's a big swing. that's an enormous charge to make — that someone came and did something. for what purpose? to attack who? to discredit who? to harm me? the production? means, motive and opportunity. what was their motive in doing that? if somebody did that. it's overwhelmingly likely that it was an accident. one of the things her attorney has said is that she was hired for two positions on the film and therefore was stretched in an inappropriate way. did she raise any of those concerns with you? no, i assume that everyone who's shooting a lower budget film is stretched, myself included. and i got no complaints from her or the prop department. i'm not sitting there when i'm getting dressed, and ready to go to a scene, saying, "oh, my god. the prop woman seemed very harried today." i didn't get a sense of that from any of the people on the film. he spoke emotionally about meeting halyna's husband and son, who's just nine years old. i think to myself, this little boy doesn't have a mother anymore. and i know that in my life, i'm with my kids, and i'm doing quite well with my kids, my kids and i are having a great time. right until my wife walks in the room and then i become invisible. my kids all go and theyjump on top of their mother. and this boy doesn't have a mother any more. and...there's nothing we can do to bring her back. alec baldwin said he would do anything in his power to undo what had happened, but he said he did not feel guilt. someone is responsible for what happened and i can't say who that is, but i know it's not me. i mean, i honest to god, if i felt that i was responsible, i might have killed myself if i thought i was responsible. and i don't say that lightly. he said halyna hutchins was one of the loveliest women he'd ever worked with and she was as admired as she was loved. sophie long, bbc news, los angeles. much more coming up from 2pm. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav. hello there. it really has been a week of temperature changes, up and down. but today, we are in a slightly milder wedge of air, so less cold, i should say, for many bits milder in the south. but with that, a lot more cloud and outbreaks of rain. you can see the pressure chart looks pretty messy. quite a few weather fronts around. we've got more weather fronts poised to push in to bring some wet weather at times but we are in that less cold air through today, as you can see here, particularly for england and wales. but the cold air will make a return for the weekend. for the rest of today, it stays pretty cloudy for most of us, quite damp across southern areas. probably the best of any brightness will be across north—east england and scotland. here, lots of showers pushing to western scotland and we will see a batch of rain moving into south wales and south—west england later on. temperatures will reach 11 or 12 degrees across the south, little bit higher than the last couple of days in the north but still feeling quite chilly in places, where it's cloudy. tonight, a whole rush of showers pushed down from the north—west across many parts, in fact. clear spells in between. these will be turning increasingly wintry, particularly on the hills in the north. the weekend is looking colder for all areas and with low pressure nearby, we will see a mixture of sunshine and showers, which may have a wintry element to them. you can see this area of low pressure slipping into the north sea, bringing in the floodgates of some cold westerly winds and it will be quite strong as well, which will accentuate the cold feel. lots of showers, northern and western areas through saturday morning. some good spells of sunshine in the south, once the rain clears away. these showers will become more widespread into the afternoon. blown on by a strong north—westerly wind. these are mean wind speeds and gusts could be higher than that. top temperatures will be around five to eight degrees. sunday, probably fewer showers for the north and west thanks to a ridge of high pressure building in. with low pressure over the north sea, it is eastern parts of the country which could see showers are long spells of rain again with a wintry flavour to them. another chilly day despite more sunshine around with temperatures ranging from five to eight celsius. into next week, it stays unsettled with sunshine and showers are longer spells of rain. there is a potential of windy weather around the middle part of the week. this is bbc news. the headlines... the couple who killed and tortured six—year—old arthur labinjo—hughes have been jailed — his father for 21 years and his partnerfor life in prison
