At liverpool onjune the 1st, after they agreed a deal worth more than £9 million, which gives you an idea which is how highly they rate arne slot. Also worth noting hes been announced as the head coach of liverpool rather than the manager as part of a new look structure under the new sporting director richard hughes. Why have they gone for him . He has enjoyed a lot of success. Last year, final won, but they finished the dutch league second. Theres quite a few similarities with jurgen klopp. He was a fairly unremarkable player. Hes been far more successful as a manager than a player. He has a reputation for playing dynamic, exciting football and being an excellent man manager who gets the best out of his players. He had the backing of klopp and urging fans to get behind the new man. But arne slot has a pretty tough act to follow.

Ahead of the paralympics this summer, a french Disability Charity says it is absolutely scandalous that more hasnt been done to improve accessibility on the paris metro network. With 100 days to go before the games start, campaigners are calling the citys underground system a black spot on its paralympic legacy. Our disability news correspondent nikki fox has more. The packed streets of this European Capital are going to get even busier this summer when the olympic and Paralympic Games come to paris. But for social media star arthur, getting around the city is not easy. It is my dream to take the metro. I think its a little bit shame that there is only one lane of metro for. I think in the International City like paris, its not normal. And according to one leading to Disability Charity, its profoundly disappointing. Translation the legacy is extremely weak and so, here, we are hoping for the success of inclusive games to trigger an electroshock effect, to make people understand that the daily life of disabled people is absolutely not the same as other citizens. Nicholas loves a night out in paris. But getting to this boat party was not a quickjourney. Bonjour because he cannot use the metro, hisjourney is because he cannot use the metro, his journey is longer and its stars by getting this trainer. Its accessible, so its doable. Although he told us he cant always count on the same kind of support hes had while we were filming. You think things might change . I hope so. I definitely hope so. In 2012, it was a bit better. The french government has invested 125 Million Euros to make paris more accessible. The committee was hoping the games would make more of a mark of the transport system. We wanted it to have an impact, but there is a Legislation Issue that doesnt allow it to happen. If the metro system is unacceptable, it does have an impact. Its made a number of improvements ahead of the games. If nicholas was another night out in paris, he will have to do this journey all over again. If he could use the metro, it would take him half the time. Its not going to stop him enjoying his life, though. You have to fight for your rights all the time, all the time. Nikki fox, bbc news.

The 14 time french open winner rafa nadal has shown up at roland garros, but his participation at the grand slam is still farfrom certain. The 37 year old spaniard emerged with his coach carlos moya to reacquaint himself with the famous red clay courts. He only reached the second round of the recent italian open. The tournament begins on sunday and it remains unclear whether the 22 time grand slam winner will play in what is expected to be his final season. Finally, a runnerfrom in the uk has started a record breaking attempt to become the fastest person to complete the countries three peaks challenge. 24 year old imogen boddy is running 422 miles over the uks highest mountains ben nevis in scotland, scafell pike in england, and snowdon in wales. The previous record from sea level to sea level is seven days and 31 minutes, and was set in 1979. Nicola rees caught up with imogen before she set off. You have to run 100km every day for seven days. Can you do it . I can do it, yes. Yes, she can at this stage, its all about the positive.

I think my biggest challenge is the point where youre four and a half days in. Coach chris is in charge of logistics. For months, hes had imo running 100 miles a week. Go all the hard work has been done it is by keeping her controls. Weve been out training in six inches of snow. Notjust about ignoring things we cant control, remembering all the hard work and being ready to go. Three big mountains. We started at sea level. Running through the next, Hiking Overand then running to the next. 420 miles, 16 marathons back to back, shot to reach the top of ben nevis, Starkville Park and snowden. Do you recognise that gate . Yeah. Cameron house. The Current Record stands at seven days, 31 minutes. It was set in 1979 by a british race walker. They underestimated how fast that woman could walk. She could walk at five minutes an hour and only take. She only took a 15 minute break. She only took a 15minute break. ,. , she only took a 15minute break. ,,. ,. , break. She is an inspiration and it will break. She is an inspiration and it will be break. She is an inspiration and it will be hopefully break. She is an inspiration and it will be hopefully a i break.

Imos mum and dad will be on hand with food and dry clothes. I think ive been making lots of these. Shes very headstrong, isnt she. Very determined. When shes running, she has a tracker and we will stop every 10km, so we will be at the designated spots every time with all the refreshments and. Change of clothing, socks. Ive trained unbelievably hard with a lot of practice. Nutrition and hydration. Its going to be unbelievably tough, so its definitely not going to be easy. I have absolute faith that she will beat this record. It will take every ounce of her strength. Two years ago, she ran the length of the uk, becoming the youngest female to complete the challenge. This time, shes aiming higher. Here i come nicola rees, bbc news. And the best of luck to her. Thats it from us. Bye bye. Hello. We have had some late spring sunshine over recent days, also a few showers around and well see a few more of them over the next few days. In fact, between tuesday and friday, the weather turns more unsettled. This is the rainfall were expected to accumulate and you can see, particularly across the northeast of scotland, some places will see close to 100 millimetres of rain by the end of the week, so things certainly turning more unsettled gradually. As for tuesday, after a bit of a misty, murky start, some scattered showers building during the afternoon, but they will be fairly hit and miss. I think tuesday will dawn with some sea fog across the far northeast of scotland, aberdeenshire towards orkney, also some mist and fog around some other north sea coasts, northern ireland, too. Some patchy rain i think almost anywhere by the afternoon, but the areas most likely to see it, perhaps some heavy showers for the southwest of england, 1 2 in the southeast, could be some thunderstorms around. Showers fairly few and far between across parts of wales, Northern England, but some heavy, potentially thundery ones likely tuesday afternoon across northern ireland, and a scattering of showers for central parts of scotland, as well. Some areas staying a little bit murky close to the north sea coasts all day tuesday, and that sea fog will roll back in across parts of scotland as we head overnight into wednesday. Well also start to see more persistent rain working in across this zone of Eastern England and central scotland. And itll be quite a mild night, with those temperatures staying well in double figures. Now, into wednesday and low pressure looks like itll move in from the near continent, and just push its way gradually further north across parts of Northern England and scotland, as well. So you can see the blue and green colours indicating the more persistent spells of rain were likely to see on wednesday around the east coast in particular. For northern ireland, wales, perhaps central and southern england, itll be a day of sunny spells and some scattered showers, but temperatures down a notch compared to recent days so highs between about 17 19 for most, but a little bit cooler close to some of those coasts. Into thursday, weve still got low pressure this time, it stalls across scotland in particular, so its feeding in more moisture for parts of highland, aberdeenshire, for instance, as well. Could be some localised flooding as those Rainfall Totals mount up. Elsewhere, some sunshine, a few scattered showers, especially around some of those north sea coasts, and it is that bit cooler. So the middle of the week, fairly unsettled, some showers on the cards. It does look like the showers become fewer towards the weekend, and for some of us, those temperatures will be on the rise once again. Bye bye. Announcer live from washington, this is bbc news.
