the end of the rain petering out by the end of the rain petering out by the end of the night. where we have the cloud, double figures. so tomorrow, 3 double figures. so tomorrow, a cloudy start for most areas, still a few showers across parts of the north, but even here the sunshine will break through. chilly in the south and south—east, with the best of the sunshine through the day, temperatures up to 19 degrees. elsewhere, 15—17, so a little warmer. that is the theme into the bank holiday weekend, turning a little warmer, some sunshine but also showers for the second half of the bank holiday weekend. saturday probably the best day of the weekend, we are in between weather systems, and this one will encroach into south—western areas later in the day. a cool start on saturday, lots of sunshine around, showers developing in the afternoon, but most places dry, fresh south braces, a pleasant day to come. 19—20 across scotland, 21—22 in the warmest parts

of the south—east. it does change into sunday, bank holiday monday, the weather front crosses the country. we will still have sunshine around, but heavy showers, may be thundery once on sunday, pretty much anywhere as we head into a bank holiday monday it looks like the heaviest of the thundery showers were moved to northern areas. quite a bit of sunshine in the south, still quite warm into the new week, staying quite unsettled with sunshine at times, but showers or even longer spells. thanks, stav. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye. hello, i'm olly foster. here's what's coming up on sportsday — fantastic phil — we hear from the manchester city and england star on a stellar season that could get even better. lookman lights up dublin — we'll look back at the europa league final on a memorable night for atalanta and their london—born forward.

no luck of the draw for andy murray — he's got a tough start at the french open. also coming up on sportsday — big night of darts coming up with littler the main draw, it's the premier league play—offs in london. and steph houghton tells us about her tearful farewell to a brilliant football career. i have had an unbelievable career. my i have had an unbelievable career. my family have enjoyed every single minute with us as well and seeing them in the stands probably the ones that set us off, to be honest. evening. what a week it's been for phil foden. the manchester city forward named the premier league player of the season on saturday, scored twice on sunday to win his sixth league title. he was one of the first names

in england's provisional euros squad on tuesday, and pep guardiola will almost certainly start him in the fa cup final when city take on manchester united at wembley for the second year running. he is still only 23 and has won 15 major domestic trophies. our sports editor dan roan has been speaking to him about the season and their preparations for saturday. you don't know how much work goes in on the training pitch and how much the manager puts in. viewing the opponents games and coming up with tactics. after what people say that it can when they don't understand how hard it is to do what we have done the season. it's going to be a tough final. united did not make it easy with us at whenas derby, so we have to look forward to it and be at our best if we are going to win. given that you're from the local area, your in that robbery better than anybody. how important is it for the squad to have someone like

yourself who grew up near this club and he has a understanding of the history in terms of the team? does it mean a bit more to you that some of the players? i’d it mean a bit more to you that some of the players?— of the players? i'd like to think so. of the players? i'd like to think s0- being _ of the players? i'd like to think s0- being a _ of the players? i'd like to think so. being a academy _ of the players? i'd like to think so. being a academy player. of the players? i'd like to think| so. being a academy player and coming up with a special occasion counselling against united it we believe, definitely means a little bit more for me. b5 believe, definitely means a little bit more for me.— believe, definitely means a little bit more for me. as you know, the mana . er bit more for me. as you know, the manager has _ bit more for me. as you know, the manager has got — bit more for me. as you know, the manager has got one more - bit more for me. as you know, the manager has got one more year i bit more for me. as you know, the l manager has got one more year left of this contract was to be set after the title when he is now closer to leaving and staying so how's that would that see you make to see them depart and do you make the most of him while you still you think now? it would be really sad. i've do not know much apart from him so it will be strange when he does go but i don't want to think too much about it. ijust want don't want to think too much about it. i just want to enjoy don't want to think too much about it. ijust want to enjoy it now and the things we are doing now with him. ., ., , , ., the things we are doing now with him. ., ., , ,., ., . him. how does he improve world-class -la ers? him. how does he improve world-class players? give — him. how does he improve world-class players? give us _ him. how does he improve world-class players? give us a _ him. how does he improve world-class players? give us a perspective - him. how does he improve world-class players? give us a perspective from . players? give us a perspective from his side. what does he do that separates it from other great managers?— separates it from other great manarers? ., , , separates it from other great manarers? . , , , managers? peaceable thighs will be all feels like- _ managers? peaceable thighs will be all feels like. maybe _ managers? peaceable thighs will be all feels like. maybe other - all feels like. maybe other adventures complicated little bit

but with a manager, it's about playing and what you see sometimes in a field like that goes along way sometimes in the best advice to give it a season which is don't try and be phil foden. ifeel like that advice to gave me really well long way. advice to gave me really well long wa . , , , ., advice to gave me really well long wa. ,,,~m, advice to gave me really well long wa. ,, way. every span you speak to say the core players. — way. every span you speak to say the core players, yourself, _ way. every span you speak to say the core players, yourself, declan, - core players, yourself, declan, bernardo, harry, jude, all had great seasons and because of that there is a feeling this is the year and we will never get a better chance. do you feel like this is the year for us? i you feel like this is the year for us? ., ., ~ , ., us? i want to think so. the quality of -la ers us? i want to think so. the quality of players we _ us? i want to think so. the quality of players we have _ us? i want to think so. the quality of players we have got _ us? i want to think so. the quality of players we have got is - of players we have got is unbelievable. feel capable. definitely going on a willing and we have in previous tournaments that we have in previous tournaments that we have been so close to doing it. so, yeah, looking forward to it and excited it must be a headache for gareth picking a team because like you said there are so many players that had such good seasons. so it's going to be difficult for him, but i think it's good that we are all in front going into the tournament.

what a season it's been for phil foden. we also heard from the manchester united manager erik ten hag today, giving his pre—fa cup final news conference. even if they win at wembley, will that save their season? it's their only chance of playing in europe, in the premier league. it's their only chance of playing in europe afterfinishing eighth fa cup final is a big event, and we are there — fa cup final is a big event, and we are there. even in the season is not in our— are there. even in the season is not in our way, — are there. even in the season is not in ourwav, we _ are there. even in the season is not in our way, we are there. and we have _ in our way, we are there. and we have an— in our way, we are there. and we have an opportunity. it's never been easy, _ have an opportunity. it's never been easy, but— have an opportunity. it's never been easy, but we — have an opportunity. it's never been easy, but we have to go for and we do go _ easy, but we have to go for and we do go for— easy, but we have to go for and we do go for it — easy, but we have to go for and we do go for it. we have to believe it, as we _ do go for it. we have to believe it, as we did — do go for it. we have to believe it, as we did last season, as we know often _ as we did last season, as we know often against good opponents, we play our— often against good opponents, we play our best football. and i expect this to _ play our best football. and i expect this to do _ play our best football. and i expect this to do the same on saturday. there's also an old firm scottish cup final, the first in two decades, to look forward to on saturday. celtic can complete the double after winning the premiership title, but rangers are also

on for a domestic double after winning the league cup. their women's team are also in the final they play hearts at hampden park on sunday. sheelagh mclaren reports. four managers, three clubs, two trophies at stake. on saturday, celtic and rangers go head to head for the men's scottish cup final before hearts and rangers women battle it out the following day. brendan rodgers has had the edge over his arrival this season, coming out on top and two of their three meetings so far. but he is not taking anything for granted. flan taking anything for granted. can never have _ taking anything for granted. can never have that arrogance. it's not how we work. we have a humility in how we work. we have a humility in how we work. we have a humility in how we work. we respect every opponent that we play, whether it's rangers or whoever. every time we come here, we want to win the big

games in the big competitions and so if you finish a double off which would point to a really good season. it's always more than a trophy in this country between the two clubs, so it's— this country between the two clubs, so it's always the case. we need to focus _ so it's always the case. we need to focus now— so it's always the case. we need to focus now on— so it's always the case. we need to focus now on the now, on this moment and a _ focus now on the now, on this moment and a moment— focus now on the now, on this moment and a moment because if i look back at this— and a moment because if i look back at this last _ and a moment because if i look back at this last three old firm match ups when— at this last three old firm match ups when i— at this last three old firm match ups when i was with the team, we did not grah— ups when i was with the team, we did not grab the _ ups when i was with the team, we did not grab the moments in those games. rangers— not grab the moments in those games. rangers women are like the men looking to complete a cup double. while hearts are playing in their first ever final. filtrate while hearts are playing in their first ever final.— first ever final. we have got champions _ first ever final. we have got champions league - first ever final. we have got champions league footballl first ever final. we have got - champions league football look forward — champions league football look forward to— champions league football look forward to which _ champions league football look forward to which we _ champions league football look forward to which we did - champions league football look forward to which we did not - champions league football lookl forward to which we did not have last vear~ — forward to which we did not have last year. potential— forward to which we did not have last year. potential of _ forward to which we did not have last year. potential of a - forward to which we did not have last year. potential of a cup - last year. potential of a cup double. _ last year. potential of a cup double. and _ last year. potential of a cup double, and losing - last year. potential of a cup double, and losing a - last year. potential of a cupj double, and losing a league last year. potential of a cup - double, and losing a league title on -oal double, and losing a league title on goal difference _ double, and losing a league title on goal difference to— double, and losing a league title on goal difference to shows _ double, and losing a league title on goal difference to shows how- double, and losing a league title on goal difference to shows how close i goal difference to shows how close we came _ goal difference to shows how close we came to — goal difference to shows how close we came to a — goal difference to shows how close we came to a very— goal difference to shows how close we came to a very excellent - goal difference to shows how close l we came to a very excellent season actuallv _ we came to a very excellent season actuall . ., , ., , ., actually. for us, the final is a massive _ actually. for us, the final is a massive objective _ actually. for us, the final is a massive objective but - actually. for us, the final is a massive objective but when l actually. for us, the final is a i massive objective but when you actually. for us, the final is a - massive objective but when you are there you want to win. we don't want

called a general election yesterday. parliament will be dissolved next week, which means that there simply isn't enough time to get the bill through. here's our senior sports news correspondent laura scott. this will be a blow to those who were in favour of this regulator come in and wanted to be done as soon as possible they actively run out of time before the next general election. this billjust had not gotten far enough through the legislative process. it was still in the house of commons and needed to have really gotten to the house of lords of it was to have any chance to be exhilarated three. tracy krause, the former sports minister who led the family reviewed the have recommended the regulator, said it was unfortunate does this happen but she does say there is a bill, 100% ready to be put through. and she is confident that it will be put through, but she would like to see in the interim the premier league

and the efl sit down and thresh a neat financial sentiment. we have also heard from the efl cup and they said they are committed to working with the new government to stop any momentum being lost. we have not heard from the premier league that we understand that they have been concerned about a new regulator in the scope of it and its influence and propose power to intervene. with the new government, there will be the new government, there will be the possible to the can look again at the bill and make some amendments. what this all has to is it is certainly delayed the introduction of the regulator but has also potentially affected what the regulator could look like. laura scott there. let's have a quick look at some of the other football stories today. west ham's lucas paqueta has been charged by the fa for betting breaches. they allege that he deliberately got booked in three matches last season and one early this season to affect the betting markets. the brazilian, who denies any wrongdoing, has until the 3rd ofjune to respond to the charges. west ham have confirmed the appointment ofjulen lopetegui

as their new manager. the former wolves boss replaces david moyes on a two—year deal with the option for a third. vincent kompany looks close tojoining bayern munich as their next manager. the german club are in advanaced talks with burnley over a compensation package. the french open, the second tennis major of the year, starts on sunday. we've had the draw for the first round. it hasn't been kind to andy murray in what will almost ceratinly be his last season on tour. our tennis correspondent russell fuller is in paris. russell, stan wawrinka for murray, both three—time grand slam—winners. it's a rivalry that goes back almost 20 years, and they've got history at roland—garros. yes, remarkably and the murray and stan wawrinka being drawn together

means murray will have the same man three times in a row at roland—garros will so they met in the 2017 finals which stan wawrinka one before it murray's hip acted up. they played in 2020 and i'm not letting them and now has from the same man again. we know andy murray has had problems with his ankle but they have since recovered well but has not been able to make any impact in the first couple of tournaments back on clay. let's not forget that stan wawrinka, brilliant man that he is, is now 39 and is actuallyjust to 2—level match winners all season. katie boulter is the highest—ranked british player, but she's got a tough—looking path in the first week. seated for the first time in the grand slam, but her reward is probably the wrong word. she is up against an unseeded player but is a former world number two and katie bolter has never played in the main draw at the french before. harriet darr also in the draw for great

players in the draw but novak djokovic and carlos alcaraz and sinner were the person could been preferable. djokovic is not played much and both alcaraz and sinner if missed some of the run up tournaments.— missed some of the run up tournaments. . , . tournaments. thanks very much indeed. there's good news for british cycling. they have a principal sponsor for the first time in three years. the banking firm lloyds has signed a multi—year deal that safeguards the future of the men's and women's tours of britain. biggest chinless for british cycling is engaging with those who enjoy cycling in multiple different ways to more than the active travel, leisure or taking part in our score and making sure we can drive commercial revenue that can be reinvested back. a key part of that it is to make sure we are sustainable financial act in the future as the world changes around us and becomes more complex, that's really super important. and we are seeing new disciplines. we saw bmx freestyle debut in tokyo, will be

showcasing glasgow and i think presents some iconic images in paris. looking to step forward to have a younger audience in a different audience but also to celebrate all the people who enjoy cycling. let's have a quick look at some of the day's other stories. belgium's tim merlier on the far left pipped italy'sjonathan milan to claim his second victory in this year's giro d'italia. after 18 stages, slovenia's tadej pogacar still leads by more than seven minutes. geraint thomas is third. joe joyce will face fellow british heavyweight derek chisora on the 27th ofjuly in london. joyce is rebuilding his career after successive defeats to zhilei zhang last year, while chisora has not fought since last august. england's women are playing the first one—dayer against pakistan. they've set the tourists 244 for victory in derby, with alice capsey making her best one day international score with 44. in reply, pakistan are currently 130—4 off 30 overs.

i told myself of the beginning of the day don't get upset, don't get emotional but i think it's been the last few weeks have been in terms of for me probably held it together for a while and want to play that last game of football, used it on the pitch for the last time with your team—mates and obviously things did not go as well as you planned in terms of the leak. so looked a bit of a mixture of everything but ultimately i think more of kind of happiness as well. i think i've had an applicable career and my family have enjoyed every single minute with us as well and to see them in the stands probably were the ones that set us all to be honest. it’s that set us all to be honest. it's been an incredible career. you have won the lottery club level and your career from when you started out, it is the assent of women possible game as well so you've got along on that right as well. i as well so you've got along on that right as well-— right as well. i would every minute of it and to — right as well. i would every minute of it and to be _ right as well. i would every minute of it and to be honest i right as well. i would every minute of it and to be honest from i right as well. i would every minute| of it and to be honest from starting off where i was at sevilla and we had to pay to play and really embarked on thatjourney of how things have changed and been a part of the most critical moments in the

sport of lease last 15—20 years have been unbelievable. it is actually created how much the game is changed in my career has been a big part of that as well. which is unbelievable i think in terms of the lionesses, first being branded and called that and being part of that team in the tournaments that we have been a part of but also the ws l come to fact is live on tv every single week is where the game is at. it's quite scary how much the game can change especially over the next ten years as well. i especially over the next ten years as well. ., �* ,, especially over the next ten years as well. ., �* i. .. especially over the next ten years as well. ., �* i. ., especially over the next ten years as well. ., �* ., ., , as well. i don't you can have many recrets, as well. i don't you can have many regrets. but _ as well. i don't you can have many regrets. but you — as well. i don't you can have many regrets, but you had i as well. i don't you can have many regrets, but you had terrible i regrets, but you had terrible luck with injuries coming up with a broken leg and the acl. do you regret dummett and i know i can regret dummett and i know i can regret an injury but they just regret an injury but theyjust came in a bad time with the way that that impacted the england career to a certain degree?— certain degree? yeah, i think in'uries certain degree? yeah, i think injuries are — certain degree? yeah, i think injuries are part i certain degree? yeah, i think injuries are part and i certain degree? yeah, i think injuries are part and parcel. certain degree? yeah, i think injuries are part and parcel of certain degree? yeah, i think- injuries are part and parcel of the game and we all know that, but i get them make crucial times wishing to be every tournament year for a few

years, which was unfortunate. but i think now i look back and of course i could've probably play more england games but did not have them injuries, but that was not really guaranteed. and for me i think is a person to go through them setbacks and have to go through that adversity and a kind of be more resilient, i think that's what made that the person i am today. the past few ears that the person i am today. the past few years with _ that the person i am today. the past few years with the i that the person i am today. the past few years with the pull i that the person i am today. the past few years with the pull of i that the person i am today. the past few years with the pull of family i few years with the pull of family and your injuries, trying to get back to the very top, your husband steven's condition, how is that and have a seat?— steven's condition, how is that and have a seat? yeah, stephen is great to be honest — have a seat? yeah, stephen is great to be honest and i have a seat? yeah, stephen is great to be honest and obviously i have a seat? yeah, stephen is great to be honest and obviously those i to be honest and obviously those that have seen match of the day and what we've done on the last few months to raise money for the foundation has been and that was an amazing and in terms of mentally he initially strongly positive. and of course physically things are a lot different for us now. we don't really ever complained and i think that's the biggest thing about us as we are strong and are strong together. and i think when you get together. and i think when you get to a point where i am in my career in terms of i was sitting on the

bench and i was using a lot of energy to be the captain and be the leader and put all my energy into training with really maybe not getting enough reward, i think sometimes when you have someone like stephen with the condition that he has, i think things to get put into perspective quite quickly and for me i think it was time that i actually put a little bit more energy into my family and to being a part of his life a lot more in terms of being with him every single day rather than going away. so but other than that we are really good and in terms of our mental state is good and positive and trying to fight the fight as always. bill positive and trying to fight the fight as always.— positive and trying to fight the fight as always. all the very best to her, fight as always. all the very best to her. who _ fight as always. all the very best to her. who is — fight as always. all the very best to her, who is taking i fight as always. all the very best to her, who is taking her- fight as always. all the very best l to her, who is taking her coaching badges in the moment and says she wants to carry on doing punditry is well, so we will surely see much more of her in the game. after her retirement from play. that's all from sportsday. lots more on the website and the app but of course for now goodbye.

hello. for some of us, the rain over the last couple of days has felt relentless. we've seen more than 100 millimetres of rain falling in some locations in the space of 48 hours. this weather system swirled its way in from the near continent and then just sat in place, and so the rainjust kept on coming. and this area of low pressure is still going to be with us through tonight and into tomorrow, but it will be weakening. it will be loosening its grip, so the rain will continue to ease off. some heavier bursts of rain for a time across the northern isles. still quite wet for a while across central and southern parts of scotland. could see some further flooding issues here. broadly speaking, though, the rain continuing to peter out through the night. and where we see some clear skies, particularly down towards the south of england, it will actually be a little on the chilly side,

maybe down to five, six or seven degrees. but that's where we'll start tomorrow morning with some spells of sunshine. further north, a good part of wales, the midlands, certainly northern england, northern ireland and scotland seeing a lot of cloud. that cloud still producing some bits and pieces of rain and drizzle, but it certainly isn't going to be as wet as it has been over recent days. in the sunniest spots down towards the south—east of england, temperatures will get to 19—20 degrees. and actually it does look relatively warm for this coming weekend. there will be some spells of sunshine, but also some heavy and possibly thundery showers. now, most places will actually see some dry weather on saturday. this little weather feature here trying to nose its way in from the continent. that may bring some showery rain for a timejust clipping into eastern counties of england. also a frontal system bringing cloud and rain into south—west england, the south—west of wales, parts of northern ireland by the end of the day. but in between, there should be a slice of sunshine and just one or two showers. and where we have that sunshine, temperatures peaking at 20—21 degrees. now, as we head into sunday,

there'll still be some sunny spells around, but also some pretty hefty showers. they'll be quite hit and miss. some places may avoid the showers and stay dry, others will get a real drenching with some thunder and lightning mixing in. in the sunniest spots, though, temperatures again into the high teens, maybe up to around 20 degrees celsius. perhaps a little bit less warm on monday. still some spells of sunshine, but also some hefty showers, especially in the north of the uk.
