:18:49. > :18:53.Time for sport now. Mark Bright joins me. A big footie weekend, but
:18:53. > :19:00.probably one where all eyes are on the managers? Yes, especially this
:19:00. > :19:06.weekend. A bad result and a bad run of form has fuelled speculation
:19:06. > :19:10.about the futures of Arsene Wenger and Andre Villas-Boas's positions.
:19:10. > :19:17.Meanwhile, Harry Redknapp is doing so well that Spurs fans are worried
:19:17. > :19:21.about him being poached for the vacant England manager's job. This
:19:21. > :19:27.weekend it is B68th north London derby. What better time to speak to
:19:27. > :19:31.someone who has played for both clubs? Top dogs at London's top
:19:31. > :19:35.clubs, but for how much longer? We asked a man who had played for
:19:35. > :19:40.Tottenham, Arsenal, and now lives in Chelsea, for his thoughts on the
:19:40. > :19:45.future. In your opinion, does Arsene Wenger still have a future?
:19:45. > :19:53.He is still the right manager to lead Arsenal. But the question will
:19:53. > :19:59.be, what do the board want from the club? Arsenal fans just want
:19:59. > :20:03.answers. Chelsea will be feeling the heat. They have lost just four
:20:03. > :20:07.of their last 14 games. If they drop to fifth in the table, they
:20:07. > :20:11.could face elimination from the Champions League. The pressure is
:20:11. > :20:15.on Chelsea manager Andre Villas- Boas. While many believe he could
:20:15. > :20:20.be out of a job soon, he says his priority is a strong finish to the
:20:20. > :20:24.season, meaning a win against Bolton tomorrow is crucial.
:20:24. > :20:30.Abramovich is probably definitely considering whether to move him on
:20:30. > :20:35.or keep him. I am sure his advisers will be around him giving their
:20:35. > :20:40.point of view. It is a sticky wicket now. Many Chelsea and
:20:40. > :20:45.Arsenal fans seem keen for change. The Spurs side have the opposite
:20:45. > :20:50.problem. They do not want their manager to go anywhere. Harry knows
:20:50. > :20:54.how to get the best out of a player. A player can be just ticking along,
:20:55. > :21:00.but he sees something different. Other managers might not see a
:21:00. > :21:05.particular player. They can't get that special ingredient out of the
:21:05. > :21:09.player to produce on the pitch, week-in, week-out. On Sunday,
:21:09. > :21:15.Arsenal host Spurs at the Emirates. It could be the last time Arsene
:21:15. > :21:17.Wenger and Harry Redknapp come face-to-face. Sol Campbell has
:21:17. > :21:27.played his fair share of North London derbies. What is his
:21:27. > :21:33.prediction? I would just go for a lucky draw. Police! -- please!
:21:33. > :21:37.You were so disappointed! What about the other fixtures? There are
:21:37. > :21:44.three London derbies. There are also QPR against Fulham. West Ham
:21:44. > :21:49.take on a Crystal Palace. And also, Charlton versus Stevenage. If you
:21:49. > :21:53.are not doing anything, get down and support Charlton. Busy weekend.
:21:53. > :21:57.This week, you were at Downing Street with others in the
:21:57. > :22:01.footballing world? Yes, it was a discrimination -- a discussion
:22:01. > :22:05.about discrimination in football. We were asked about the problem and
:22:06. > :22:09.a solution from the Prime Minister. They took a lot of notes, and it
:22:09. > :22:13.will be gathered together by the Football Association. In a few
:22:13. > :22:21.months, they will hopefully have some suggestions that came out of
:22:21. > :22:25.that meeting. Now, she has been with the Royal Ballet for more than
:22:26. > :22:30.half a century. Dame Monica Mason was just 16 when she joined as a
:22:30. > :22:35.dancer. Now, 54 years on, she is retiring as the director of the
:22:35. > :22:38.company this summer. Our reporter has been speaking to her ahead of
:22:38. > :22:43.an exhibition at the Royal Opera House celebrating her career.
:22:43. > :22:48.She was the girl they said who would out dance Nureyev, one of the
:22:48. > :22:51.most striking ballet dancers of her generation and now not just a
:22:51. > :22:57.director, but like a mother to the Royal Ballet, where she has worked
:22:57. > :23:00.for 54 years. Dame Monica Mason was born in South Africa, but moved to
:23:00. > :23:06.London the some of the Bolshoi first came to the Royal Opera House.
:23:06. > :23:10.Then just a teenager, but her destiny seemed set. I wandered up
:23:10. > :23:15.and down the street, knowing there was a performance happening. My
:23:15. > :23:20.mother let me come here on my own. We were living in Finsbury Park at
:23:20. > :23:27.the time. I was convinced that through a crack in the door, I
:23:27. > :23:32.might have seen the great ballerina. Of course, I didn't. But I was
:23:32. > :23:38.dreaming so wildly about what was going on behind those doors, and I
:23:38. > :23:42.could imagine what it must be like. An exhibition to celebrate her
:23:42. > :23:47.career during her farewell season is being held at the Royal Opera
:23:47. > :23:52.House. There are costumes she first wore when she joined aged 16 as the
:23:52. > :23:55.company's youngest member. But it was not long before she was spotted
:23:55. > :24:01.by director Kenneth MacMillan after she showed him her moves not on
:24:01. > :24:08.stage, but at a '60s party. I was probably a show-off, but not in a
:24:08. > :24:12.bad way. I think the story of me showing off at a party when I knew
:24:12. > :24:16.Kenneth MacMillan was watching, there was a bit of mischief in that.
:24:17. > :24:25.It was the start of rock in the '60s. We were twisting and doing
:24:25. > :24:29.all sorts of things. I think I got carried away. Teaching became as
:24:29. > :24:33.much of a vocation for Monica as performing. She takes the
:24:33. > :24:39.responsibility of passing on what she has learned from the great
:24:39. > :24:47.ballet directors seriously. biggest change when you stop
:24:47. > :24:51.dancing and have the good fortune to be offered a job on the staff,
:24:51. > :24:56.the biggest change is that you stop thinking about yourself and begin
:24:56. > :25:00.to think about others. Now in her seventies, Monica will step down as
:25:00. > :25:03.director in the summer, but has already been signed up to sprinkle
:25:03. > :25:13.her magic on a number of new productions. The exhibition will
:25:13. > :25:16.
:25:16. > :25:22.Now the weather. Peter is down by the river. This is Chelsea Bridge
:25:22. > :25:28.behind me. It is looking pretty good for a busy outdoor weekend.
:25:28. > :25:31.Mostly dry. We will just lose that spring-like warmth we have been
:25:31. > :25:38.getting used to. Temperatures have been up in the teens. On Saturday
:25:38. > :25:44.and Sunday, they will drop a bit. This evening, there is a lot of
:25:44. > :25:51.cloud. It will thicken up overnight and produce some drizzly rain. That
:25:51. > :26:00.rain will drop the temperatures. It is a weak weatherfront. You will
:26:00. > :26:05.see that from the minimum temperatures tonight. The slightly
:26:05. > :26:09.colder air is arriving from the north. Tomorrow, a dull, damp,
:26:09. > :26:19.misty start to the weekend. But it should brighten up. Sunny spells by
:26:19. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:30.the afternoon. By the time of these matches, there will be more cloud
:26:30. > :26:35.over west London. On Sunday, lots of sunshine over the Emirates
:26:35. > :26:40.Stadium. That is because the cloud will break up on Saturday night.
:26:40. > :26:45.Long, clear spells and perhaps a touch of frost for some of us on
:26:45. > :26:49.the grass. As we have seen, Sunday will BA sunny day in London. But
:26:49. > :26:54.the south-westerly breeze will start to blow some cloud across us.
:26:54. > :27:00.The outlook is for that south- westerly breeze to eventually blow
:27:00. > :27:05.us some welcome rain for the start of next week. Later in the week, it
