lontinue driving in showers. we will continue to see more rain tonight. fading back to the north—west coasts. but also down across the midlands and wales and into cheshire, the cloud will thicken, bringing rain. mild for most of us. where we see the clear spells in northern england and eastern scotland, the temperatures may be a few degrees above freezing. tomorrow, the cloud in the south breaking up. the rain clearing from here. sunny spells and a scatters of showers. fewershowers. most in here. sunny spells and a scatters of showers. fewer showers. most in the north—west. fewer further south. top temperatures between 1a to 17, but cooler across the northern half of scotland. and looking ahead, to friday and saturday, low pressure still to the north, high pressure trying to move in, but this system easing away as it heads south. still a few showers around for friday and into the weekend. mainly across

northern parts. mostly dry further south and i think you will notice the temperatures creep up. thanks, sarah. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. let's ta ke let's take you back down to normandy where events have been taking place throughout the day to mark the 80 years since the normandy landings. you can see there are events taking place there. that is the french president on the left of the screen and his wife just arriving. they are meeting veterans from 80 years ago. anniversary events taking place throughout the day today. we have seen also soup the events here in portsmouth, the uk and also there you can see the french president and his wife also there in france we are expecting a thanksgiving ceremony, a

joint uk ceremony at the cathedral later this evening and there will also be a vigil at the cemetery that will light up in honour of those who fought on the beaches. we've seen earlier today, the king and queen officially starting events in portsmouth and we will see plenty more throughout the day tomorrow as well. the actual 80th anniversary of d—day promising to be another big day of ceremonies starting in normandy france there are at around 725 local time. that is the exact time the beach landings began back in the 6th ofjune of 19114 when troops from the uk, the us canada and france landed in normandy and attacked the german forces. plenty more coverage throughout the evening here today on bbc news and of course

throughout the day tomorrow. let's return now to the general election. the uk official statistics regulator is looking into claims by the conservatives that families would face a £2000 tax hike under a labour government. rishi sunak made the assertion repeatedly during last night's to be the fate sing independent treasury officials had calculated the figure. the abuse he has seen a letter from the chief civil servant which contradicts the prime minister's statement. labour set the claim was a lie. this afternoon torres insisted that they stood by their claim. secure storm had this to say. we stood by their claim. secure storm had this to say.— stood by their claim. secure storm had this to say. we have been very clear throughout _ had this to say. we have been very clear throughout that _ had this to say. we have been very clear throughout that all _ had this to say. we have been very clear throughout that all of - had this to say. we have been very clear throughout that all of our - clear throughout that all of our plans are fully costed in fully funded. that means no tax prices for working people. iwill spell that out. no income tax, no national insurance, no vat. you saw last night was a prime minister with his back against the wall, desperately trying to defend 1a years of failure

resorting. it was a insights of his character, to lies. i don't see that lately. two lies about labour�*s plans about health waiting lists, about attacks. lies from the prime minister. after last night, i think it is really important to appreciate that the choice at the next election is even more important because it is a choice between more of this chaos, division and now lies and turning the page and rebuilding with labour. conservatives richard graham says conservatives still has questions on tax. i conservatives still has questions on tax. ., �* ~ ., conservatives still has questions on tax. 4' ., , conservatives still has questions on tax. ~ ., , ., ., , tax. i don't know exactly how many fiuures tax. i don't know exactly how many figures came _ tax. i don't know exactly how many figures came from _ tax. i don't know exactly how many figures came from the _ tax. i don't know exactly how many figures came from the labour- tax. i don't know exactly how manyj figures came from the labour party directly and what figures came from the treasury. was quite true and i agree, is the presentation of them in the production of them which i think was the point of the treasury civil servant was making was done by

special advisers rather than by civil servants. that needs clarifying that i am sure the prime minister will be happy to do so. what more people are interested in is if the basic figure is correct as a calculation of what the labour party policy will cost. until i have seen something that actually refutes the figure, that is the point that needs to be addressed. most of my constituents do not want to see their taxes rising in order to fulfil what looks, frankly, like an unfit fillable dream of trying to meet net zero targets by 2030 with green energy policies. that meet net zero targets by 2030 with green energy policies.— green energy policies. that first leaders debate _ green energy policies. that first leaders debate took _ green energy policies. that first leaders debate took place - green energy policies. that first leaders debate took place in - green energy policies. that first - leaders debate took place in salford and greater manchester. 0ur correspondent has spent the day visiting the different constituencies in and around greater manchester. this morning she went to west howden which is in the constituency of golden west. this constituency of golden west. this constituency matters because symbols built west, so goes the nation it is

were more relevant than others and more time should have been given. i find it impossible to understand why you ask a question that may have three questions inside of it and that some turns around and says, just yes or no. i always believe that the politics of life cannot just be defined by yes or no. so was another story to go with it. it doesn't really show the true answers or the real discussion. itruihat doesn't really show the true answers or the real discussion.— or the real discussion. what issues or questions— or the real discussion. what issues or questions last _ or the real discussion. what issues or questions last night _ or the real discussion. what issues or questions last night because i or the real discussion. what issues j or questions last night because the studio audience, what questions resonated with you. what questions you thought, i would want to ask that as well? i you thought, i would want to ask that as well?— that as well? i think in general terms, i think— that as well? i think in general terms, i think they _ that as well? i think in general terms, i think they covered i that as well? i think in general. terms, i think they covered most of the hot topics now and you could see that. he could see also the crowd. i was not convinced the crowd was neutral and looking to work out where to vote. i felt it was very one—sided on one end and the other. you could see it. when an answer was given everyone thought, yes, it was

a great answer. so i thought the crowd could have been better. in the sense of being neutral try to work out what to do like i am at the moment. and also, the questions for me. ifelt when moment. and also, the questions for me. i felt when they talked about migration and the boats and everything else and ijust think that, there was a positive answer. it may not necessarily be the right and so that people want and then there was no answer given and it just tended to be a debate between them. , ., ., . them. the question for me which a lot of people _ them. the question for me which a lot of people watching _ them. the question for me which a lot of people watching will - them. the question for me which a lot of people watching will want i them. the question for me which a lot of people watching will want to | lot of people watching will want to know given that bolton west is a seat that almost reflects the way the country goes is, who did you vote for last time and who you think you will vote for this time?- you will vote for this time? voted conservative _ you will vote for this time? voted conservative last _ you will vote for this time? voted conservative last time. _ you will vote for this time? voted conservative last time. a - you will vote for this time? voted conservative last time. a lot i you will vote for this time? voted conservative last time. a lot of i conservative last time. a lot of conservative last time. a lot of conservative throughout my life. i think i have been virtually swayed once which is in the famous 1997 election. right now, i'mjust election. right now, i'm just not sure. i think i was very

disheartened with conservatives in the past few years since post—pandemic. but i have always believed that whatever party was in during covid and post pandemic was always going to have a tough time. the whole crisis that hit us after the next couple of years, i don't necessarily worry down to our uk government, the politics and everything else. i think it was and still is a really tough time. with the tax hikes and cost—of—living... you are still feeling it even though the economic figures show someone of an improvement. ig�*s the economic figures show someone of an improvement-— an improvement. 10% growth on year on ear an improvement. 1096 growth on year on year gouged _ an improvement. 1096 growth on year on year gouged by — an improvement. 1096 growth on year on year gouged by a _ an improvement. 1096 growth on year on year gouged by a wage _ an improvement. 1096 growth on year on year gouged by a wage rises. i on year gouged by a wage rises. while i agree with living wage in national moving which we have to move on but since i've earned my businesses i've seen 10% rises year on an huron. no tax breaks that could really help people, so our tax allowance what is it, £12,750,

necessarily thinking it is a debate between the labour in the conservative party but maybe even reform coming into the mix in some areas here. you covered this beat, what would you say are the big issues to watch in how this he and others will go. issues to watch in how this he and others will go-_ others will go. first thing to say is it is hard _ others will go. first thing to say is it is hard to _ others will go. first thing to say is it is hard to certify _ others will go. first thing to say is it is hard to certify any - others will go. first thing to say is it is hard to certify any of i is it is hard to certify any of the parties mention. there's a lot of disillusionment. speaking to voters across greater manchester, the wings that keep coming up is and waiting lists, cost—of—living. ithink people really struggled over the last few years and that perhaps it feeds into the essence of disillusionment that they don't really trust if it will make a difference and that politics will fix it which is a shame. those who that are really coming across. iloathed that are really coming across. what is the polling _ that are really coming across. what is the polling showing _ that are really coming across. what is the polling showing for most of the seats? �* , , ., ., the seats? there's been a few mega olls that the seats? there's been a few mega polls that are _ the seats? there's been a few mega polls that are done _ the seats? there's been a few mega polls that are done by _ the seats? there's been a few mega polls that are done by specifically i polls that are done by specifically asking people in the constituency, but projecting it on the

demographics and they are showing that labour are going to have a really good night and the lib dems may pick up a couple of seats. it is hard to say whether that will come true because as the polls tightened, some of those narrow majorities may allow the conservatives to keep the odd seat here or there. let allow the conservatives to keep the odd seat here or there.— odd seat here or there. let me mention reform _ odd seat here or there. let me mention reform before - odd seat here or there. let me mention reform before we i odd seat here or there. let me | mention reform before we wrap odd seat here or there. let me i mention reform before we wrap up because what i have found is quite a few people saying, will actually, it is not that we are contemplating whether to vote liberal or conservative, but now, nigel farage has entered the leadership, that they are debating about whether they should go for reform uk? is that something you are finding? i think it makes sense _ something you are finding? i think it makes sense because _ something you are finding? i think it makes sense because brexit i something you are finding? i think| it makes sense because brexit was such a big issue in a lot of these seats. so which had never voted conservative before, brexit was one of the factors that make people switch and i think reform uk is taking on those voters with them in a way that the conservatives perhaps have not been able to. but i think

there are a few hotspots in greater manchester where reform uk are likely to pick up some votes. thank ou ve likely to pick up some votes. thank you very much _ likely to pick up some votes. thank you very much for _ likely to pick up some votes. thank you very much for sharing - likely to pick up some votes. thank you very much for sharing your i you very much for sharing your insights. there you have it for the moment. lots of interesting seats. of course, as known in the greater of course, as known in the greater manchester area, seats that really could define how the next parliament looks. here are the candidates who have been selected so far to stand in the constituency of time not to get a look at all the sports news. hello and welcome to sportsday. another shock at the french open as fourth seed elena rybakina is knocked out by italianjasmine

paolini. india paolini. convincingly beat ireland by eight india convincingly beat ireland by eight wickets in the first match of the t20 world cup in new york. and delight for the dunlops as michael surpasses the record he shared with his unclejoey to become the most successful rider in the history of the isle of man tt. welcome to the programme. the french open is certainly delivering on upsets — another two top seeds are out. earlier today, the 2022 wimbledon champion elena rybakina was knocked out by italy's jasmine paolini. but then — in a shock defeat — second seed aryna sabalenka was beaten by 17 year old russian mirra andreeva. the teenager is the youngest slam semi—finalist since martina hingis

at the 1997 us open. joe lynskey reports. she is now semifinalist... six she is now semifinalist... six months a-o she mi-ht've lau-hed at months ago she might�*ve laughed at the possibility but forjasmine paolini, this year has been the breakthrough. at the start of it in grand slam she had not been passed round two. now here she faced on a champion. that was the first point of a quarterfinal match against elena rybakina. a former wimbledon winner now being outmaneuvered. elena rybakina came here having not yet lost a set when jasmine paolini took the first, she had last found her shots. 1—1 sets. jasmine paolini

28 and from tuscany and her first major quarterfinal and get found a way to win it. that result may have inspired mirra andreeva. 17 years old and her first quarterfinal, inspired mirra andreeva. 17 years old and herfirst quarterfinal, she breezed through four rounds to get an and now took on the second seed. she has promised but she has staying power reaching six semifinals in the past six grand slams and took the first set on a tight break. mirra andreeva went here to be the youngest major semifinalist since 1997. she levelled this match and then showed why she could be the sport because �*s future. a reach that rustled this match's momentum. just like you are match point, orto momentum. just like you are match point, or to have found a way to stay in it then found a way to take

charge. for her, like paolini, the year of the breakthrough keeps getting better. only one men's quarterfinal today — after defending champion novak djokovic pulled out of the tournament with a knee injury. the 37—year—old was due to play norwegian seventh seed casper ruud in the last eight — he gets a walkover into the semi—finals. hoping tojoin him there — is fourth seed alexander zverev of germany. he's up against australian alex de minaur who is the 11th seed — they get underway in paris shortly. you can listen to live commentary on bbc sounds. three—time french open winner alfie hewett has moved into the semi—finals of the men's wheelchair singles with a 6—love, 6—4 victory overfellow brit gordon reid. hewitt only needed 7a minutes to beat his compatriot and set up a semi—final. he's aiming to win his ninth singles title at a grand slam, having also won the us open on four occasions and the australian open once.

to the cricket and the t20 world cup, where india have got their campaign off to a great start, beating ireland by eight wickets. however, it was a day to remember for ireland bowler mark adair, he got virat kohli out forjust one in his side's chase of 97. patrick geary reports. new york, a strange new world for cricket. the sport has taken on the fight for pixels in a country that famously never really understood it. i always loved it was flat and it was so much easier to hit than baseball. i was so much easier to hit than baseball. ~' ., was so much easier to hit than baseball. ~ ., ., baseball. i feel like no one here knows what _ baseball. i feel like no one here knows what cricket _ baseball. i feel like no one here knows what cricket is _ baseball. i feel like no one here knows what cricket is but i baseball. i feel like no one here knows what cricket is but it i baseball. i feel like no one here| knows what cricket is but it feels like it _ knows what cricket is but it feels like it could be cool to get into. i did like it could be cool to get into. did not like it could be cool to get into. i did not know the cricket world cup was happening. _ did not know the cricket world cup was happening. no _ did not know the cricket world cup was happening, no. i— did not know the cricket world cup was happening, no. i did - did not know the cricket world cup was happening, no.— was happening, no. i did not and i and i was happening, no. i did not and i and i wish — was happening, no. i did not and i and i wish i _ was happening, no. i did not and i and i wish i did. _ was happening, no. i did not and i and i wish i did. those _ was happening, no. i did not and i and i wish i did. those who - and i wish i did. those who were aware headed _ and i wish i did. those who were aware headed to _ and i wish i did. those who were aware headed to long _ and i wish i did. those who were aware headed to long island i and i wish i did. those who were i aware headed to long island intended not to be neutral. ireland and india could draw strength from their diaspora to make this feel like an occasion, if unfortunately, not a

contest. facing india's bowlers anywhere is a challenge. doing so on anywhere is a challenge. doing so on a misbehaving drop in pitch proved beyond ireland's batterers who struggle to deal with each of the new new yorkers. the irish were 96 all out. never likely to be enough, though, mark adair did attempt virat kohli into extravagance, it would be little more than a momentum. this was not what the organise would have liked, only occasionally did rohit sharma go skyscraping and can certainly for his country, he retired hurt after being hit on the arm. but finishing with the razzmatazz. victory to india and that, as the local say, it was the ball game. now to football and the chairman of manchester city, khaldoon al mubarak has said he is �*frustrated' by city's achievements being accompanied by reminders of the 115 premier league charges lodged against them — charges which they deny. he says he wants the club to bejudged by facts — not claims and counterclaims. yesterday, it emerged that city

are taking legal action against the premier league over its commercial rules. khaldoon's annual interview, given only to club media is thought to have been recorded before that news was made public — as our chief football news reporter simon stone explains. the interesting thing is that manchester city have an issue in terms of the way that sponsorship deals, commercial deals are assessed by the premier league. they don't think the premier league should be getting involved in situations like this. as you say, the interview was done before the information about the legal challenge came to light. however, he in no way does reference the regulation around football by basically referring to the player welfare issue that we will see his

team play matches from august until july team play matches from august until july 2025 because they are in the club world cup and he basically says, that regulators should spend more time looking at player welfare than other issues around the game. there is a significant issue as well that remains at manchester city unresolved at this stage that is not what we have just been speaking on and that is the future of pep guardiola, anything on that? interesting because pep guardiola has won six titles that manchester city in seven years. he references guardiola's outside contribution not only to manchester city, but to the english game. but he does not have an answer on his future. in fact, he says he knows that guardiola is fully committed to every contract he has ever signed so that is to the end of next season and he said the

decision on his future will be taken together and at the right solution will be found for both pep guardiola and manchester city. so watch this space. malcolm clarke — chair of the football supporters association — thinks the lesson from what's happening with manchester city renews the need for a regulator, and he thinks football needs it as soon as possible. what we have always been told by the premier league is that is a strong regulatory body itself in his perfectly competent to manage its own affairs. this shows it is not. we have one of our major clubs which won the league for four seasons in a row challenging of all the rules of the organisation of which it is a member. we believe this illustrates the need for a football regulator which will have the power to act in the wider interests of the game. we need a regulator and we need it

as soon as possible. the challenge cup final will kick off seven minutes later than planned on saturday in tribute to leeds rhinos legend rob burrow — to reflect the number seven shirt he wore during his illustrious career. the england and great britain international died at the age of 41 after battling motor neurone disease for the past five years. wigan warriors face warrington wolves in the sport's showpiece cup final, preceded by the women's challenge cup final between burrow�*s beloved leeds and st helens. a minute's silence will also be held. michael dunlop is now the most successful rider to compete at the isle of man tt. he won the three—lap supertwins race today to take his tally of victories to 27. that's one more than the previous record held by his uncle, the legendaryjoey dunlop for 26 years. stephen watson was there. now michael dunlop, michael dunlop, is he going _ now michael dunlop, michael dunlop, is he going to make it? from now michael dunlop, michael dunlop, is he going to make it?— is he going to make it? from the very start. _ is he going to make it? from the very start, michael _ is he going to make it? from the very start, michael dunlop i is he going to make it? from the i very start, michael dunlop showed he meant business. and hit the front
