the rest of us, it for sunday. the rest of us, it depends where you are. there is a mixed bag on the way this weekend. let's focus on tomorrow. sunshine on the way for sure, but also some rain. we will look at that in a second. this is the satellite image, this area of cloud is over as right now and i think the broad message is that more northern and eastern parts of the country tonight and tomorrow we'll have some rain. this evening the rain will move through parts of yorkshire, lincolnshire, east anglia, into the south—east, but the rest of the uk should be dry over night with clear spells. temperatures in some rural spots could get down to 9 degrees but in most city centres about 13. tomorrow starts with a lot of cloud, best chance of sunshine in the west but then showers will develop with sunny spells. north sea coasts could be cool spells. north sea coasts could be cool, grey and rainy. in the hull,

the chance of thick cloud and rain. probably not even making 20 celsius. sunday, big day in the south—east, wimbledon, should be sunny spells. in germany the weather looks quite good as well, 25 with sunshine. closer to the north sea coast, thick cloud and outbreaks of rain. the broad message is west is best this weekend. 0n broad message is west is best this weekend. on monday, low pressure heading our way generating some showers, some could be heavy, some thunder, and it's a pattern we have seen for some time now. the outlook, unsettled in the north of the country, the high teens with frequent showers, butjust country, the high teens with frequent showers, but just a country, the high teens with frequent showers, butjust a hint that we could be entering something a little bit more dry and warm by the end of the week. that's it. now let's join our colleagues for the news where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm tulsen tollett. coming up... england's fans are gathering in berlin as we count down to the final of the european championship — we'll be live to the german capital shortly. meanwhile, tonight, a job to do for england's women as they face the republic of ireland in a key european qualifier. we'll be live there shortly. and it's thank you, and goodbye to james anderson — as he bows out of international cricket after helping england thrash the west indies. it is not really sinking in. i still think in my — it is not really sinking in. i still think in my head _ it is not really sinking in. i still think in my head i'm _ it is not really sinking in. i still think in my head i'm playing i it is not really sinking in. i still. think in my head i'm playing next week. i am sure at some point it will sink in. it's been incredible. i will have the latest at wimbledon, as collars alcaraz rolls into the final again, seeing off daniil

medvedevjust as he did one year ago. but will it be a repeat of last year's final against novak djokovic or can lorenzo musetti spring a surprise? good evening — welcome to sportsday. we have a lot to get through. over the next half hour, we'll be at lord's, wimbledon, norwich and new zealand, telling you everything you need to know on a busy day of sport — and a busy weekend to come. but first, we must begin in berlin where there are only two days to go now until england face spain in the final of the european championship. in the final of the beaten in the decider three years ago at wembley — can england get over the line this time around? 0lly foster is in berlin for us — and there's obviously still time until sunday — but are we seeing the atmopshere beginning to build?

it really is. you just feel it, 48—hour is until the final against spain. good evening. filthy, filthy weather in berlin. we had a lightning storm hanging over us for three orfour hours lightning storm hanging over us for three or four hours earlier, but the clouds have parted and we are seeing dozens upon dozens of england supporters flying in, piling of the trains here in berlin. today, the official allocation snapped up just over 10,000, say the england fa, tickets ranging from £1000 down to £95. there will be hundreds if not thousands year without tickets. some have them in the bollard to be war christmas, a group of lads picked up four tickets for £75 each. we saw 2000 to pounds some people paid on

an alternative market. a lady from sydney has spent 950 euros. they are piling into berlin because they want to be part of history. it is building _ to be part of history. it is building un- _ to be part of history. it is building up. interesting l to be part of history. it is building up. interesting you mention the fans. there's an estimated 200,000 who made the trip to germany since the tournament started. they've been remarkably well—behaved, it has to be said. yes, the uk football policing unit relatively happy. 66 arrests to date over the past month around all those matches, england arrests from their supporters groups. they been working closely with the authorities. there were 90 football —related arrests at the last euros which was dotted all around europe. they say does one thing they have notice which they don't like, and we saw gareth southgate pelted with empty beer

cups against the slovenia drawer. they say what has been reaffirmed to them is their belief drinking should not be allowed in the stands back in the uk. they say it is a part of the game they don't agree with, drinking in the stands. but 66 arrests out of all those tens of thousands of england fans who come to germany. the uk policing unit fairly satisfied with the low numbers. 0llie foster, thank you very much. alex, after the euphoria of the other night with the victory in the semifinal, it is a lot more focus and sedate for the team. that is ri . ht, and sedate for the team. that is riuht, it and sedate for the team. that is right. it is. _ and sedate for the team. that is right, it is, that _ and sedate for the team. that is right, it is, that the _ and sedate for the team. that is right, it is, that the overnight i right, it is, that the overnight after 0llie watkins scored the germatic winner against the netherlands in the semifinal. i managed to speak to a couple of

players and they said they were going to recover as best they could ahead of their game against spain on sunday. we got to hearfrom 0llie watkins today, behind me in the england camp media centre. i asked him what it was like scoring the goal and whether he always believed he would have an impact in the tournament. i he would have an impact in the tournament.— tournament. i had for belief in m self, tournament. i had for belief in myself. i _ tournament. i had for belief in myself, i knew _ tournament. i had for belief in myself, i knew i _ tournament. i had for belief in myself, i knew i would - tournament. i had for belief in myself, i knew i would score | tournament. i had for belief in - myself, i knew i would score when i went _ myself, i knew i would score when i went on _ myself, i knew i would score when i went on the — myself, i knew i would score when i went on the pitch. i manifested it, i went on the pitch. i manifested it, i worked _ went on the pitch. i manifested it, i worked very hard to get to the point _ i worked very hard to get to the point it— i worked very hard to get to the point. it has been an amazing feeling — point. it has been an amazing feeling but i'm not shocked. i've -ot feeling but i'm not shocked. i've got that— feeling but i'm not shocked. i've got that fire in my belly, ready whenever— got that fire in my belly, ready whenever i'm called upon. hopefully i whenever i'm called upon. hopefully | -et whenever i'm called upon. hopefully i get the _ whenever i'm called upon. hopefully i get the call to come onto the pitch— i get the call to come onto the pitch again and then hopefully i can produce _ pitch again and then hopefully i can roduce. . . ., , ., produce. that victory over the netherlands _ produce. that victory over the netherlands was _ produce. that victory over the netherlands was a _ produce. that victory over the netherlands was a historic - produce. that victory over the - netherlands was a historic occasion, but have they changed their day—to—day routine? that

the journey for southgate. before being manager, he had a develpoment role, and was then under—21s boss. 0ur sports editor, dan roan, asked him what would it mean to him to complete this last step and deliver that silverware to make the nation proud. i guess what thatjourney has taught me is what it means for english football, really. to have credibility on european, world stage. and i know what it means to people working every level, from leaf development all the way to senior football. leaf development all the way to seniorfootball. you do feel that responsibility as well as responsibility as well as responsibility for many others. just describe to responsibility for many others. just describe to us your emotions heading into search a mod to mental match. 0bviously into search a mod to mental match. obviously you have the experience of 2021 and the pain of defeat. does it feel different to it and can you draw on experience to help you? hate

draw on experience to help you? we are draw on experience to help you? - are definitely... hard to describe. there's a different field to reach the first final in 50 years was enormous. we are now in a different moment as a team, two tournaments on, big match experience. i guess there was less of a celebration perhaps, less satisfaction at reaching a final. i don't say it becomes a run of the male, but it is a little bit normalfor us. that statement in itself is a bit ridiculous given our history. it sounds like you need to win this time. ~ ., ., , time. we needed to win the last time, we didn't. _ time. we needed to win the last time, we didn't. of— time. we needed to win the last time, we didn't. of course, - time. we needed to win the last time, we didn't. of course, in i time. we needed to win the last l time, we didn't. of course, in the end, what i do know is how we will be viewed by others will be determined by the result on sunday. we'll be back with more football later in the programme but now to lord's where it's been the end of an era today — as record test

wicket takerjames anderson brought the curtain down on his england career. his final test lasted barely three days — as he, and his england team—mates swept the west indies aside winning the first test of the series by an innings and 114 runs. joe wilson reports. there was no jeopardy left in the match. the only real tension with england needing four wickets was how many were james anderson get? there wasjoshua da silva, anderson's final test match wicket. could his very last moment the other batch winning moment? there was a court and bowled chance for anderson which he put round. 0nly right chris anderson will share it, he took 12 wickets in his test match debut. seriously impressive. and then one last final ovation forjames anderson. he is dedicated his career to the discipline of test match cricket. i

club last year after eight years away, helping them to win the fa cup. catalans dragons have sacked three players with immediate effect for an incident deemed to be "highly unacceptable". siua taukeiaho, jayden nikorima and damel diakhate have all had their contracts terminated following a disciplinary process. now to wimbledon where it's men's semi finals today — and there's plenty of big hitters on show. defending champion carlos alcaraz has been up against the former us 0pen champion daniil medvedev, whilst seven—time champion novak djokovic is on court right now — against the italian lorenzo musetti. let's go to chetan pathak, who's there for us. thanks. it is fascinatingly poise,

think of the history novak djokovic is trying to make, and record a title, taking him beyond the 2a record. he is on the cusp of history, on centre court. he is when the first set against lorenzo musetti and there is djokovic bouncing the ball, ready to serve, trying to hold the game because it is 5—5. look at that, how many times have we seen it, back against the wall? the story of the match, djokovic winning the first set 6—4, musetti has been serving well, his first semi final grand slam, but djokovic finds a way to pounce on the weaknesses. he was beaten only once by musetti in monte carlo, an epic at the french open six weeks ago. djokovic has had knee surgery,

which is why he has a strapping on. it isn't causing him to many problems. he's got the first set, a lot tighter at the moment in the second set. for novak djokovic, who spoken to as time and time again about how special wimbledon is for him and he wants to level roger federer�*s eight titles, he's not scared of histories. look at the aces he's put down, he's a game away from going to— zero up. if he does it, he will set up a repeat of last year's final because carlos alcaraz is fthrough, the defending champion. there was a moment of controversy in the first set, daniil medvedev was serving for the first set, there was a call he wasn't happy, he said something to the umpire, and was given a warning for his conduct. he said he didn't swear, the umpire said he didn't swear, the umpire

said it wasn't enough for disqualification. medvedev focused his anger and took the first set. daniil medvedev taken the first set, a tie—break. alcatraz has a great record, but not here. medvedev lost lustre against carlos alcaraz last, but collars alcatraz so good, he levelled the match and run away with it. two good weather that. carlos alcaraz is 21, the far better player, winning in four sets. to get a taste of what the former british number one sam smith had to think about, i spoke to her short while ago. about, i spoke to her short while auo. , ., . , ., , ago. interesting match. it shows carlos alcaraz, _ ago. interesting match. it shows carlos alcaraz, even _ ago. interesting match. it shows carlos alcaraz, even though - ago. interesting match. it shows carlos alcaraz, even though he's ago. interesting match. it shows. carlos alcaraz, even though he's so young, _ carlos alcaraz, even though he's so young, can — carlos alcaraz, even though he's so young, can win when he's not at his best from _ young, can win when he's not at his best from start to finish. that is another— best from start to finish. that is another sign of greatness. it is a myth _ another sign of greatness. it is a myth champions play well in grand

title he doesn't have. he's lost the last two finals. could it be third time lucky? the great star in wheelchair tennis is out. alfie hewitt is wonderfully positioned to try and get the so far elusive wimbledon singles title. we will keep you up—to—date on that. nearby djokovic league 6—5, a game away from a 2—0 lead, with carlos alcaraz waiting. i from a 2-0 lead, with carlos alcaraz waitinu. ., from a 2-0 lead, with carlos alcaraz waitinu. . ., ~ waiting. i feell am there, thank ou waiting. i feell am there, thank you indeed- _ now — back to football and a huge night ahead for the home nations women's teams in their penultimate round of european qualifier matches. scotland are playing in slovakia right now. they're aiming to stay unbeaten at the top of group b2 having already secured a play off spot, but finishing top would see them return to league a in the nations league. they kicked off at six. and these are live pictures of the match. it is currently 0—0, stoppage time

at the end of the first half. these pictures are of northern ireland, first—place finish in the group would make sure for scotland. on this one it is 1—0 to northern ireland in this one. that is against malta, 17 minutes into work. as they look to go through to the first round of the play—offs in october for next year's tournament in switzerland. carry on bt putting northern ireland ahead after eight minutes. well, both england and wales are also in action tonight. wales are in croatia whilst england are the only home nation at home — playing the republic of ireland at norwich city's carrow road — and matt graveling is there for us. matt. welcome to a wet and rainy norwich, the last time the lionesses were here in 2022. they were held 0—0

against spain, the champions. five months after that match, the lionesses went on to win the european title. they come back to caro road, 27,000 people here, and they will try to defend the title. is been a stuttering start to the campaign, uncharacteristic forthem, campaign, uncharacteristic for them, who had campaign, uncharacteristic forthem, who had the massive unbeaten run. they have been boosted by the return of their goalkeeper. the lynas is no exactly what they have to do to secure automatic qualification —— lionesses. that is simply win here today against northern ireland, republic of ireland, beg you pardon, and when they go to sweden on tuesday they have to win it. their future is in their hands, they can get confidence from the great win in france last month. wales, meanwhile, they are unbeaten in league b. they are trying to get through to

switzerland by the play—offs. they've secured their spot in the play—offs but are trying to win the group, which would help them because they would be promoted to lead a next year. wales can be quietly confident because not only do they have a great goal difference but scored four goals against croatia in wrexham in april, beating their current opponents for— zero early in the year. that game kicks up at 715. all to play for, but you could hear the noise around me, some fantastic horns being blown and republic of ireland flags and saint georges crosses. it's always a fantastic atmosphere. this game kicks off at eight o'clock, and two games to take them to switzerland next summer to defend that european title. now to rugby union where it's another full weekend with all the home nations in action. england will look to bounce back from last week's one point loss to the all blacks when they face off

in auckland tomorrow morning. england have made a late change at fullback for the match at eden park, a venue which has been kind to the hosts as our rugby union correspondent chrisjones can tell us. here we are at eden park on a beautiful sunny day, sunny week in auckland. the england players taken their surroundings because it is the spiritual home of all blacks rugby weather new zealand record is formidable. 30 years, nearly 50 matches since i lost last a test matches since i lost last a test match at eden park. england are confident they can make sporting history come saturday.— history come saturday. there wouldn't be _ history come saturday. there wouldn't be much _ history come saturday. there wouldn't be much point - history come saturday. therej wouldn't be much point going history come saturday. there - wouldn't be much point going out if we weren't confident. you respect the opposition, you can only play well and trust you get a result. there is no game we go into thinking we can't win. that is true of any test team and any international team. i hope it doesn't come across the wrong way. yes, it would be an amazing way to mark the tour and a very unique opportunity. if

amazing way to mark the tour and a very unique opportunity.— very unique opportunity. if england are to make _ very unique opportunity. if england are to make history _ very unique opportunity. if england are to make history they _ very unique opportunity. if england are to make history they will- very unique opportunity. if england are to make history they will have l are to make history they will have to do it without george fairbank, their star performers in the first test. he's been ruled out with a back problem, so freddie stuart start, a more than capable replacement. how much will england miss the attacking edge? 0ne replacement. how much will england miss the attacking edge? one of many questions answered on saturday, join us at 805 for all the best coverage at eden park. the action gets under way this evening with a completely changed scotland looking to build on last week's win over canada. they face the usa in washington dc in just under five hours' time. then england are first out on saturday with that tantalising match against new zealand in auckland as they look to square the series. then wales will also look for redemption when they face australia in melbourne and ireland battle it out against south africa later in the day in durban. the life and achievements of rugby league legend and motor neurone disease campaigner rob burrow have been celebrated

at a civic reception in leeds. the former leeds rhinos star, who was diagnosed with the degenerative disease in 2019, died in earlyjune, aged a1. his family were among those to attend the reception along with around 180 guests, while thousands more watched proceedings online. i thinkjust to year here and here the tributes, if such a bittersweet day because i know how proud rob would be but i'm sure he's here in spirit. hearing the tribute and we knew he was special. when you live with rob he isjust rob to us, but hearing the tributes, for the city of leeds and the rugby community, it was heart—warming. the world's best male players are gearing up for next week's open championship in north berwick at the scottish 0pen. rory mcilroy is the defending champion. he's taken five birdies today and currently sits tied in fifth place at 9 under par.

that's three shots behind the leader ludvig aberg. play was abandoned during the second round of the penultimate women's golf major of the year due to lightning — the evian championship in france — one of the big movers today was england's georgia hall. four birdies and an eagle at the last have taken her to 6—under — six off the leader ayaka furue. just enough time to let you know what is happening at wimbledon. novak djokovic against lorenzo musetti, djokovic is 1—0 up, at a tie—breaker in the second set. it is currently 3—0 to djokovic against lorenzo musetti. djokovic is a seven time champion at wimbledon. and just enough time to let you know gareth southgate has had a terminal

named after him at gatwick. it is southgate terminal, and james anderson has gone, a1, 704 southgate terminal, and james anderson has gone, a1, 70a test wickets, he's retired. i will still be here later on, he won't be. goodbye for now. hello there, good evening. it's been cloudy and cool today across the uk, with temperatures for most of us below the seasonal average. some brighter skies — best towards the west — but it's helped to trigger off some showers, and some of those showers heavy and thundery, especially in southwest england. now, as we head through the weekend it's more of the same again tomorrow — it's cloudy, it's cool, some brighter skies, but also some showers, too. it will be feeling warmer on sunday, especially in the south, with more sunshine around. but always cloudier for these eastern coasts, including tonight. some showers across parts of east anglia drifting down towards central, southern england, as well.

cloudy towards the east coast, some clearer skies further west — but there will be plenty of mist and some hill fog developing into tomorrow morning. so, it's a cloudy, damp, buta mild start to tomorrow morning. now high pressure remains out in the atlantic — it drifts a little further northwards as we head through saturday. low pressure still spiralling away in the north sea. it's developing more of a northeasterly wind as we head through saturday, so more of those showers just coming onshore, and even more, i think, through the day on sunday, too. but it's cloudy towards eastern areas. the best of the sunshine will tend to be across southern england into wales, perhaps the western highlands, northern ireland, northwest england, too, seeing some sunshine. watch out for some showers that will also develop — they'll melt away into the evening. temperatures, again, disappointingly low for the time of year, just 1a—19 celsius. and on sunday, with low pressure, remains out in the north sea again. we will see more showers across parts of northern england, down through southeastern scotland. there'll be more in the way of sunshine, though, further west, again, across western scotland, down through england and wales, and we'll see some higher temperatures, too.

any showers, any cloud should melt away into the evening to leave us with a dry and a fine end to the day. now further east, in germany for the euros final on sunday evening, then, well, it's looking dry — some thunderstorms there at the moment of course, but it will be drying out. temperatures generally in the low—to—mid—20s. now, as we head through into the start of next week, well, it's not too long before we see our next area of low pressure drifting from the southwest, but because we're drawing in a south—westerly wind, then the air will turn a little warmer. so, temperatures will be rising, here's the outlook for our capital cities — still rather unsettled with some showers, and possibly some longer spells of rain at times, but a bit drier for most. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news. police search a house in west london as the focus into human remains found in two suitcases in bristol shifts to the capital. the justice secretary says plans to release thousands of inmates early are "the only way to avert disaster" in the prisons system. the man who plotted to kidnap, rape and murder tv presenter holly willoughby is sentenced to life in prison. and star striker 0llie watkins describes how it felt to score that goal to secure england's place

in sunday's final against spain. i knew when i was going onto the pitch that i was going to score. you know, i manifested it, i had worked very hard to get to that point. so it's been an amazing feeling, but i'm not shocked. hello, i'm tanya beckett, welcome to the programme. police say the human remains found in two suitcases left on the clifton suspension bridge in bristol were those of two adult men. detectives are still searching for a man in connection with the dumping of the suitcases, it's believed he travelled to bristol from london where a second crime scene has now been identified. danjohnson has the story. this is the man being hunted beyond bristol now after leaving two suitcases and the most awful discovery.
