yesterday, you also asked me about the referee, i told you that i wanted them to be unnoticed and make the right decisions, he failed on both. it is a pity. my feeling is that today has been unfair and everybody has seen it, the match has been unfair, that is my feeling and i cannot lie, especially to our fans. today it has been unfair and everybody has seen what has happened. var denied coventry city arguably the greatest fa cup comeback in history — after trailing manchester united 3—0 in their semi final — they thought they'd scored an extra time winner to make it 4—3 — only for the goal to be ruled out for off—side. in the end... united won it on penalties — with their manager erik ten hag admitting afterwards that his side got away with it. with continued speculation around his future at the club after an indifferent season, he says he's confident his side can upset manchester city in next month's final. when we have a good plan and we have

major by two shots. a victory that now puts the 25 year old level with nancy lopez and annika sorenstam — the only other players to have won five consecutive lpga events. it is an amazing feeling because all the hard work and the doubt that i had in my head from 2021, you know, i worked through it, it has been an amazing feeling these past few weeks knowing that i can go on the stretch and if i stay in my bubble and i keep golf simple and let it flow, i can have so much fun out here. and it has been an amazing time, to get five in a row, my lucky number is 13 and for me to get it here in houston, for it to be a major feels even better. scottie scheffler is set for his fourth win in five pga tour starts. the world number one has a five—stroke lead with three holes

11:50 am
and that's all the sport for now. from me and a team that is all the sport for now. welcome back to bbc news. the metropolitan police commissioner will meet london mayor sadiq khan today — following a row over his force's handling of demonstrations. sir mark rowley has faced calls to resign — after an anti—semitism campaigner was threatened with arrest, at a pro—palestine protest. rishi sunak said he had confidence in rowley, but he needed to rebuild "confidence and trust" with the jewish community. louisa pilbeam reports. thank you very much. it's an incident that's prompted not one, but two apologies from the metropolitan police. jewish anti—semitic campaigner gideon falter wanted to cross the road through a pro—palestinian
11:51 am
march, but was stopped by officers. you are quite openlyjewish. it's a pro—palestinian march. i'm not accusing you of anything. i'm worried about the reaction to your presence. when mr falter disagrees, the officer threatens to arrest him, caught on camera by the anti—semitism charity he works for. i was being treated like a criminal for being jewish, and after we'd been stopped by police, people started shouting abuse at us and the police surrounded us and not them. they told us we were threatened with arrest, not them. there were people crossing the road left, right and centre in any direction they wanted to. the incident has led to met chief sir mark rowley apologising twice in three days. he's since been summoned to an urgent meeting today with the mayor of london, sadiq khan. it comes amid calls for the commissioner to resign. sir mark and the met have come under fire for the way pro—palestinian
11:52 am
marches have been accused of turning london into a no—go zone forjewish people. in a bid to mend those relations, he will also speak withjewish groups today. if i remain here, you will arrest me? mr falter has been invited to a private meeting with the met, which he has accepted. louisa pilbeam, bbc news. earlier i asked independent adviser to uk government on antisemitism lord john mann if sir mark rowley should stay in his post. he's one of the experts on counterterrorism in this country, the best the police has got, the most experienced. and that's by far the most dangerous threat that the country and the jewish community faces. and so i've spoken withjewish community leaders over the weekend, and there's no demand from them for him to resign. none whatsoever. he should stay in his post. and i'm pleased he's meeting thejewish community. in fact, there's a meeting taking
11:53 am
place within the hour and that a weekly meetings between the met now and thejewish community through the londonjewish forum, which is an excellent initiative from the jewish community and which is already having positive impact. he should carry on doing more of this. what do you make of the full video? i know that sort of short clips of this interaction between gideon falter and the police officer have been clipped up and broadcast very widely. there is a long sort of 15 minute version available. what do you make of the video and what does it tell us about the issues on the streets at the moment betweenjewish people and between these marches, these marches which are happening every couple of weeks? well, it tells me what i already knew, which is mr falter turned up to protest. he wasn't walked on the street. he was at the protest. they came with his security, came with his media operation, and he came to protest.
11:54 am
now people are allowed to protest, but the police are also going to need to be rational. if there's two sets of competing protesters and that's what this is, then they need to ensure there's a separation between them. i used to organize major demonstrations and go up to negotiate with the police. there are all sorts of complexities on how you do it, and i think some things can be done better. for example, i think the shop owners, the shop workers in particular, the customers who get disadvantaged when a splinter group break off and occupy a fast food outlet or some of the outlets in central london, i think the police could be more nifty on their feet in stopping that and arresting those people. but the police have a problem. you know, parliament hasn't given them powers. thejewish community is complaining about some of the other placards.
11:55 am
parliament hasn't given the police the powers that they need and the powers... in fact, sir matt rowley and saira khan, the extremism tsar in the past recommended to government they haven't been implemented and that's video, that's placards that's on both inciting hatred and on promoting terrorist organisations. and so i would say give the police and i have said give the police more powers and the police i think can they be held to account for using them. but if you don't give them the powers then you have a problem. he was speaking a little earlier, the independent adviser to the government on anti—semitism. that is it from me, but before then a look at the weather. hello again. yesterday was northern ireland's warmest day of this year so far. today, temperatures will be a little bit lower here. but by the time we get to wednesday,
11:56 am
we'll all be in some chillier conditions with temperatures below the seasonal average. there'll be the risk of night frosts and then we'll see some rain coming our way this weekend, particularly saturday night into sunday as low pressure comes back to our shores. but today we've got this weather front sinking south. you can see there's a lot of cloud around and that weather front is producing some patchy light rain and some drizzle extending from south west england, eastern parts of wales, the midlands, northeast england. we could also see the odd shower across parts of south—east scotland, but brightening up across much of scotland and northern ireland through the afternoon. and this is where we'll have the highest temperatures, 16 degrees in glasgow, we're looking at ten or 11 in london and norwich. the average in the far southeast is 1a or 15. now through this evening and overnight, this is the weather front, still producing some patchy light rain and drizzle. behind that, though, the skies do clear, it's going to be a cold night once again, colder in the north than last night, a little bit milder under all this cloud in the southeast
11:57 am
than last night. so a real change in fortunes. as we head through tomorrow, we still have this weather front draped across southern areas, producing cloud and patchy light rain, the clearance in the sky especially out towards the west. so we hang onto quite a lot of cloud in parts of the southeast through the day, but brightening up southwest england, wales, northern england, scotland and northern ireland. but we'll have a brisk wind coming down the north sea coastline and that will accentuate the cold feel. the temperatures are quite low anyway, but quite a blustery day really wherever you are. then for wednesday, again there'll be a few showers coming down this north sea coastline, getting into norfolk, for example. some of these could be wintry in parts of the highlands and the pennines, but more cloud around during the course of wednesday. but there will be some brighter breaks nonetheless. and these are our temperatures, seven to about 13 degrees north to south. as we move on through thursday
11:58 am
and friday, there'll be some showers around. temperatures rising a little bit through the weekend. but then that low pressure comes in saturday night and sunday, bringing some rain.
11:59 am
