00:00Greetings from Wembley Stadium, sports editor Nick Westby here. I'm down in London for the launch of the Skybet and British Heart Foundation's Every Second Counts initiative to try and get 270,000 people signed up to CPR classes.
00:15What an initiative that is and it really does save lives, so get involved if you can. We've got plenty of stories coming up on that throughout the next few days.
00:23Also this weekend is sports weekend, it's the race to get to Wembley for the likes of Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers in the League 1 and League 2 playoffs.
00:31Plus we've got news of Leeds United, they can clinch automatic promotion this weekend but may have to come here to try and get to the Premier League in the playoffs.
00:39Hull City also trying to get to Wembley as well.
00:42Rugby League-wise it's another big weekend that James O'Brien sets the scene for and in cricket, Yorkshire County Cricket Club have another big game at Headingley this week as they chase that elusive first win of the county championships season.
00:55Snooker's World Championships is reaching a crescendo at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, Richard Hercock has all the news on that.
01:03And we've got a big interview with Aaron Fox, the Sheffield Steelers head coach, after his Grand Slam winning treble season with the Sheffield Steelers.
01:11I'm off for a kickabout on the hallowed turf of Wembley, you have yourselves a fantastic sporting weekend.
