moment, beautiful blue skies. at the moment, beautiful blue skies. we have more high cloud for many areas so the sunshine is a little hazy. but the shower cloud is bubbling up and read rest of the afternoon, that brings a few isolated showers for some others. but most places will avoid any of those downpours for the afternoon. so we have got low pressure fairly close by. just sitting more towards the south. and we have a weakening weather front across parts of northern england, southern scotland. so that has brought little close, you can see that straight. showers in dumfries and galloway, one or two in dumfries and galloway, one or two in western parts of scotland and a few showers further south across england and wales. but for the majority of us, you will dodge the downpours. light winds, sunny spells, sunshine a little hazy, but lifting temperatures between 19 to 23 degrees. warmest weather up towards the north west of scotland. always a bit cooler close to this east coast because we have mist eunice and low cloud sitting close to the east coast. into the evening
1:31 pm
hours, any isolated daytime show as fade away and our attention turned to the east where the sea fog rolls in from the north sea across parts of eastern england, eastern scotland. also cloud across the north of scotland and into northern ireland as well. some clear spells, but mist and fog patches almost anywhere. but reasonably mild as we kick—off the weekend. saturday's weather not looking too bad, but we have this feature, this warm front pushing along the south coast of england and that could bring early rain to parts of south—east england. sitting across the channel islands for a good part of the day. elsewhere, early mist and sea fog around northern and eastern coasts, that should gradually burn back. sunny spells, a few showers and the parts of wales and perhaps the south west of england, the odd thunderstorm in mix. showers are fairly few and far between and top temperatures doing quite well, 18 to 23 degrees. coolest weather again across northern and eastern scotland and around the north—east coast of england. with that sea fog a little close —— so to clear. similar on
1:32 pm
sunday, some mist and fog around especially in the north and east, cool and cloudy day across scotland. further south across the british isles, looking dry and bright for most of us. light winds, sunny spells and again, reasonably one from the time of year, 20, 201 degrees typically. a little cooler around the north—east coast. into next week, we have low pressure trying to move in from a couple of directions. from the atlantic. but also, from continental europe. so thatis also, from continental europe. so that is a sign things turn more unsettled particularly through the middle part of next week. so we start largely dry, some rain around especially on wednesday, it could be quite blustery. a dip in the middle of the week as we see more unsettled weather arriving. of the week as we see more unsettled weatherarriving. but of the week as we see more unsettled weather arriving. but a hint things will turn drier and warmer to the end of the week and of course, the bank holidays looming as well. the weekend is pretty good, but the week ahead, not so good. thank you. that's it. you can keep up with all the latest

developments on the bbc website. but now, let's join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello. it was a hello, i'm adam wild, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on the programme... dramatic scenes at valhalla as the world number one scottie scheffler is detaind by police ahead of day two of the pga championship also this lunchtime, the most intense week of his life — jurgen klopp describes the build up to his final game in charge of liverpool. and, don't look now — tyson fury refuses to make eye contact with oleksandr usyk ahead of their world title fight in saudi arabia.
1:34 pm
welcome along, we're going to start in kentucky and some extraordinary scenes ahead of the second day's play at golf�*s pga championship. world number one scottie scheffler, detained by police trying to get into the course. the start of day was delayed. let's go straight there and speak to our golf correspondent iain carter. thanks forjoining us. what more do we know? pga officials have been quoted as saying that the situation surrounding scottie scheffler is ongoing but we do know the world number one golfer was detained by police officers who were dealing with a pedestrian fatality early this morning at around 5am at the gates at valhalla and that inevitably lead to major traffic problems and players and coaches teeing off today, scottie scheffler
1:35 pm
was amongst those, they were allowed on the property but scottie scheffler went around, it is reported, around the stacked up traffic and was stopped by police and ordered to leave his car and led away by two officers in handcuffs. we are now seeing documents being published of an arrest record, social media footage shows him being led away in handcuffs and the tee off times have been delayed by an hour and 20 minutes because of the impact on the accident and scottie scheffler was not involved in that incident but now we wait to see whether it will be possible with the world number one, the masters champion to continue playing in the tournament. he is in contention and shot a good round yesterday, just five shots off the lead but he has to be here and able to play at eight minutes past ten, so eight minutes past three as concerns as pst. when
1:36 pm
play gets under way... when play gets underway, xander schauffele is setting the pace. he posted the lowest score in pga championship history in his opening round, equalling the record at a men's major — after shooting a 62 at valhalla. he holed nine birdies in a sensational bogey—free round — which means he's nine under par at the top of the leaderboard with a three shot lead. it's just the fourth 62 at a major championship — the others were all at par—70 courses. valhalla is a par—71. schauffele, who is the world number three, is hoping to win his first major. it's a great start to a big tournament, one i will obviously always take, and it is just thursday. there are moments in time you feel you can control the ball really well and you are chipping well but it is tough to keep up over a prolonged period, buti well but it is tough to keep up over a prolonged period, but i would say
1:37 pm
it's close to it if not it. rory mcilroy, who won his last major ten years ago — which was the us pga — is four shots behind schauffele. he started brightly, bit of a mid—round wobble, then came a sparkling second nine which saw him finish on an impressive five under par. he's due outjust before 7 this evening a big weekend ahead, with premier league and wsl titles on the line. but sunday also marks the final chapter injurgen klopps nine year reign at anfield. the liverpool manager this morning was asked to try and sum up his final week at the club as he prepares to say goodbye. the most intense week of my life, definitely, and i have so often said goodbye this week. to so many people. yesterday the players said goodbye in their way, we had a little barbecue here that was really nice on the day before yesterday i was with the staff at chapel street
1:38 pm
and it was really, really nice. and in the stadium, after that, it was a goodbye celebration. it is a lot and i have a very emotional moments of course, in between. saying goodbye i don't think is ever nice but saying goodbye without feeling sad or feeling hurt or whatever, that would just mean that the time you spent together was not right or not great, and we had a great time, so it was always clear we would find it tough and i know it will be tough. meanwhile its been confirmed that midfielder thiago alcantara and defenderjoel matip will both leave anfield at the end of the season. spain international thiagojoined from bayern munich in 2020 and made 98 appearances. matip has played over 200 times and been a key figure in liverpool's premier league and champions league victories. both players, though, have missed large chunks of this season through injury. jurgen klopp, of course,
1:39 pm
not the only long term manager leaving their club this weekend. emma hayes has been at chelsea for 12 years but will take over as the new usa head coach after this season. tomorrow, her side can win the title — which would be a fifth in a row. in herfinal chelsea press conference, hayes was asked to sum up her 12 years with the club. people always like to pick holes out the things you don't do, but honestly what we have achieved is remarkable considering our starting point. we didn't have a history in women's football and we are now considered one of the top sides in the world. and to get that respect and be part of a club that bought into that, i'm probably most proud of those and then the people. and this is about human beings and over

time the winning has been important but it won't be my lasting memory to be honest. elsewhere, brazil will host the 2027 women's world cup after beating a joint bid by the netherlands, belgium and germany. this was the announcement a litle earlier at fifa's congress in bangkok. it will be the first time that the tournament has been hosted by a south american country and it's also the first time an open vote has been held to pick the hosts. member associations voted 119 to 78 in favour of brazil. norwich city have sacked manager david wagner in the wake of their 4—0 play—off defeat by leeds. last night's defeat leaves norwich facing a third successive season in the championship. wagner took over from dean smith at carrow road injanuary 2023 but has missed out on leading the club back in to the premier league. to saudi arabia next and saturday's much—anticipated undisputed heavyweight title fight between tyson fury and oleksandr usyk.

1:44 pm
joining me now is our political correspondent, nick eardley. he wanted to talk about tax, saying it would go up under labour and he wanted to cut taxes but he didn't say anything specific on that, no specific promise. h0 say anything specific on that, no specific promise.— specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees — specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees as _ specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees as it _ specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees as it was - specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees as it was put - specific promise. no cast-iron guarantees as it was put to i specific promise. no cast-ironl guarantees as it was put to the chancellor that he was going to cut tax but what was this all about? it was about trying to wrestle the economic narrative ahead of the general election and you might think that campaign is already under way given what we've seen over the course of this week but it could be six months away. what the chancellor is trying to do was say i am a tax—cutting chancellor and if i win power, i will continue to cut taxes and he was trying to say that labour would do the opposite and to fund spending commitments, he said labour would have to put up tax. all of
1:45 pm
thatis would have to put up tax. all of that is contestable and labour say all of their plans will be fully funded and costed. but it's all about trying to get on the front foot when it comes to the economic debate ahead of the general election. so what specifically was jeremy hunt saying and offering to people? none really. he was asked about national insurance that the conservatives have brought down a couple of times in the last year or so and was asked if he was going to do it again and he did say that if the space was there than the conservatives would like to bring another national insurance got before the election. if we can afford to go further, responsibly, to reduce the double tax on work this autumn, that is what i will do because over time we make no apology for wanting to keep cutting the double tax on work until it is gone. but only when we can do so without increasing borrowing and without cutting funding for public services or pensions.
