emergency package that's been announced for sports in england that have been affected by the absence of crowds because of coronavirus. rugby union is the biggest beneficiary receiving 135 million but not all sports are getting financial assistance. here's our sports editor dan roan: behind closed doors, the action continued from racing at chelmsford to atp tour finals tennis at the 02 arena in london but with no gate receipts since march, sport are facing an unprecedented financial crisis and today came a rescue kids to help them survive the winter. this package alone compares very favourably, we believe it is the most generous single package of any country around the world. you gave more than five times more than that amount to the arts in the summer so what would you say to those who think that's unfair? first of all, it is worth remembering we have provided well over £1 billion worth of support for sports already in everything like thejob retention scheme, various loan facilities. it is our assessment of working with the sport to see what they need to compensate them for that. sale sharks prepare for the new season this weekend, premiership rugby union clubs like this will share £59 million and for them it is a lifeline. in principle it is absolutely a necessity, we can't survive. and part of the fabric of everyday life is playing sport as a hobby and for us it is professional but we see what goes back into the community from professional sports. really warranted. ii sports will receive funding, most of its loans with rugby union the biggest winner, accounting for almost half of the 300 million bail out with horse racing getting a0 million, 25 million for non—league men's football and 3 million for the women's game. badminton was delighted to get £2 million while there wasi million for greyhound racing. but men's elite football is missing, the government exist after spending more than £1 billion in the transfer window premier league clubs can afford to support their counterparts in the football league. a deal is edging closer and they are even hoping that some fans could be back inside the stadium as soon as next month. there is a chance that in lower risk areas if we can do it in a safe way we might at least begin to start the process of seeing fans come back. people could be incentivised to have the test because if they test negative they would have a window to be able to go in and to see their home game, to see the side playing in the government would win because we get more people tested and see where the disease is. the news today is a major result for lots of sports but for imperilled swimming pools, gyms and community clubs, the future remains uncertain and demands for grassroots sport to be allowed to reopen from next month is sure to intensify. the manchester city manager pep guardiola has ended speculation around his future after signing a two—year contract extension that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2023... his current deal was set to expire at the end of this season. guardiola's won six major trophies sincejoining the club four years ago, including two premier league titles, leading the club to an unprecedented clean sweep of all domestic titles in 2019. football's world governing body fifa could impose transfer bans on clubs who don't meet their new rules around maternity cover. players will be entitled to at least iii weeks of maternity cover — on at least two thirds of their salary. it's less than what uk law outlines but is being described as "an essential step" for the sport in protecting female players. the proposed regulations need approval next month. england have been paired with rivals france in the group stages of next year's womens' rugby world cup. the draw, which took place earlier this evening, has put the two sides in pool c along with south africa and fiji. meanwhile, wales will face reigning world champions and hosts, new zealand, as

world and if we want to win the world cup, who had to play the best teams. —— you know france is one of the best teams. if they are in our pool, that isa teams. if they are in our pool, that is a task and that is what we will be focused on. the grandson of former england cricketer ian botham will make his debut for wales this weekend. cardiff blues flanker james botham will start in saturday's

on a strengthening westerly breeze. it starts off dry and chilly with early brightness in the east, very soon the cloud thickens with patchy rain spreading eastwards and light and patchy and a few heavier bursts across scotland and even some breif wintriness briefly over the highlands before that mild air moves in. the winds also picking up out across the northwest, gusts of a0 to 45 miles an hour. here it will be turning milder by the end of the day. i2, 13 degrees but further east, still quite chilly under that cloud and rain. heading through the course of the night, it does look like it will turn milder for all and it stays rather cloudy, drier for england and wales, scotland, northern ireland and a new cold front will be sinking southwards with outbreaks of rain and turning cooler with blustery showers but double figure values for most. into the weekend, that new cold front sinking southeastward across the country gradually, behind it the air will be turning cooler and along that cold front will be a band of cloud and patchy rain moving out of northern ireland into the southern scotland and heading south into england and wales. behind it, skies brighten up. sunny spells but blustery showers for scotland and northern ireland. it will be very windy here, particularly northern scotland with widespread gales. turning a bit cooler later in the day across the north but mild for england and wales and a bit of cloud around, 13—14 degrees. that cold front then moves southwards and ends up lingering across southern england on sunday but behind you will notice we are in the cool air mass, so it could be cloudy across southern england throughout the day but for much of the country actually bright on sunday with good spells of sunshine but it stays breezy in the north with further blustery showers across northern and western scotland and winds are lighter in the south. those temperatures lower than on saturday's eight to around ten or 11 degrees in the south.
