6:42 pm
programme. not major surprises coming in. let's head back to the sports news studio for the rest of the day's news. thanks, 0lly. after the european club football season ends at wembley tonight. focus will stay on the contintent for the international game, and scotland have suffered a significant injury blow ahead of euro 202a with lyndon dykes ruled out of the tournament. the striker was carried off on a stretcher during training yesterday with an apparent knee injury. he played in all of scotland's qualifiers and has scored nine times in his 36 caps. there are only two centre forwards left in steve clarke's provisional squad ahead of the euros, which scotland will open against hosts germany on friday week. rugby union's premiership final will be between the two teams that finished as the best in the regular season. it'll be top. that's northampton who won last night. and bath, who beat sale sharks 31—23 in their playoff semi final this afternoon, having finished second in the table. ben croucher has more.
6:43 pm
eyes on the prize, well, next week's price anyway. bath and sale wanted to get their hands on it, to get the chance to even play for it, they needed brain, brown and sometimes the bounds of a ball. 13 points down by half—time, sale had reduced the arrears to just three. and after the interval came, he went flying down the wing, which usually ends one way. 0nly twice in the last decade has in away side one on apprenticeship play in ruffle seemed to help sale's momentum. driven on by a nine year absence from the final, now it was... whether they are prayers will be answered next week, northampton saints will have something to say about that. 28 years after they last lifted that trophy, the ultimate prize is now within bath's reach. ben crozier, bbc news. edinburgh have just missed out on the play—offs in the united rugby championship
6:44 pm

6:45 pm
in super league, wigan warriors kept the pressure on st helens at the top of the table by winning at warrington wolves. the defending champions had to come back from 12—nil down to win. a quick succession of tries late in the first half including this from kruise leeming helped turn things round to 19—18. a scoreless second half meant a win for wigan that puts them level on points with st helens at the top with a game in hand. 3—1 favourite city of troy won the 2a5th edition of the epsom derby this afternoon. the aidan 0'brien trained runner faded badly when also favourite for the 2000 guineas at newmarket last month but put that performance behind him to win comfortably with ryan moore on board. ambiente friendly finished second with 0'brien also training the third placed horse los angeles. novak djokovic will continue his campaign at the french open later. the world number one and defending champion is playing 30th seed lorenzo musetti in the night match on phillippe chatrier. one of only two courts that has had constant tennis today because of the rain

6:57 pm
closest to the high pressure today. we'll see the best of the sunshine across parts of scotland, although southwest england's also enjoying some sunny skies, almost cloud—free skies then in stirling earlier in the day. but we have seen quite a bit of cloud come down the north sea into parts of eastern england. but even so, there are still some breaks in the cloud, for example, here in essex. now, looking at the weather across east anglia, and southeast england, as well as that cloud, we have some fairly brisk winds, gusts running into the 30 miles an hour. thatjust knocks the edge off the temperatures to a degree. but still some decent weather to come for the most of the uk. sunny spells in northern ireland, lots of sunshine for south west england, western parts of wales also looking fine. and in the best of today's sunshine, we're looking at temperatures quite widely reaching the high teens to low twenties. and in thatjune sunshine, first day of summer, according to climatologists, it will feel pretty warm. now, overnight tonight, we'll have clear skies for most areas and it's going to be quite a chilly night. temperatures getting down into single figures, lows down to about five degrees
6:58 pm
in the very coldest parts of scotland and northern england. but another fine day coming up for tomorrow. again, for the majority of the country, lots more sunshine and probably more in the way of sunshine across eastern areas of england, given a slight change in the wind. at the same time, probably a bit more cloud for the far north west of scotland with a little rain getting into the hebrides temperatures more widely high, teens to low, 20 to 21 for aberdeen, 22 in london. and for monday, when we start to see a bit more of a change in the weather patterns across the north of the uk, this cold front bringing a bit more in the way of cloud. a few splashes of rain, mostly light and patchy, move south. with that, as we go through monday, with some sunnier weather following the cold front through. the cold front will bring some cooler and fresher air. so temperatures dropping by a few degrees across the north but still reach around 20 in hull, in cardiff and in london. however, into next week, the middle part of the week, we see some much cooler air arriving from the northwest and with that we'll see temperatures dropping further and there'll be some showers around, particularly
6:59 pm
across the northern half of the uk. some of the showers are likely to be heavy with some hail and thunder. bye for now. live from london. this is bbc news. in south africa, the ruling anc loses its majority for the first time since apartheid ended 30 years ago.
