Itβs another wet and windy start in the capital, with grey skies hanging over the city and suits marching off to work. Iβm sure most are looking ahead to the long weekend. But until then, thereβs still a lot happening across the country and around the world that you need to know!
The headlines are packed with various domestic and international stories, with no one story really dominating that much – although we expect thatβll change later today when the US stock markets open.
For now, the Birmingham bin strikes, a potential UK-US deal and a splash of budget talks and celebrity gossip lead the headlines.
The sports headlines look at how agonisingly close Aston Villa came to overturning their second-leg goal deficit. Other headlines look ahead to tonightβs Real Madrid vs Arsenal second leg – the North London club go into the clash ahead thanks to a 3-0 win in the first leg.
