rather muddy into friday morning. and then on friday, dry for most of us, some rain out towards the north and west, always cloudy here, and again we have those humid misty conditions for irish sea coasts, but 29 even locally 30 celsius always possible across south—east england or east anglia. but it is a short lived warm spell, because as we head into saturday, we have got this weather fronts weeping eastwards, bringing the threat of some heavy thundery showers, and then on sunday, as you can see, the 0ranges turn a bit more yellow, so expecting some cooler viewing conditions, so the outlook for our capital cities here, pressure dropping over the weekend, and settled on saturday and possibly sunday as well. elizabeth, thank you very much indeed. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. goodbye.

sarah dawkins now... and sarah — we�*ve the seen the paris mayor, literally testing the waters, ahead of the games next week... how much of a concern will the athletes have around environmental issues?... it will be a huge concern for some athletes heading to both the olympics and the paralympics. we are here at the paralympics gb kicking out area where the athletes are gathering their amazing kits before heading to the games. look at this, super snazzy. that will look pretty cool and paris. more to come on that later. alongside all of the excitement of the sport, there are big discussion points around sustainability and paris 202a�*s climate credentials. we saw the mayorjumping into that sand today, desperate to prove the quality of that will water for the marathon swimming and triathlon events. they want to try to be the greenest olympics and paralympics ever, but the installation of thousands of

aircon units in the olympic village is putting that at threat. earlier today i spoke to the president of world athletics and asked him if sport is putting performance over the planet. it sport is putting performance over the lanet. , sport is putting performance over the planet-— the planet. it is inevitably a balance- — the planet. it is inevitably a balance. look, _ the planet. it is inevitably a balance. look, if— the planet. it is inevitably a balance. look, if you - the planet. it is inevitably a balance. look, if you are i the planet. it is inevitably a - balance. look, if you are hosting an olympic— balance. look, if you are hosting an olympic games you are primarily hosting _ olympic games you are primarily hosting them for the athletes and we have to _ hosting them for the athletes and we have to be _ hosting them for the athletes and we have to be clear about that, and i unashamedly say that. they have to be the _ unashamedly say that. they have to be the first— unashamedly say that. they have to be the first thought, they also have to be _ be the first thought, they also have to be the _ be the first thought, they also have to be the first consideration. i do passionately believe that the athletes deserve the best possible conditions you can give them. if you can give _ conditions you can give them. if you can give if— conditions you can give them. if you can give if you can do it in a sensible— can give if you can do it in a sensible and sustainable way, even better~ _ sensible and sustainable way, even better. we — sensible and sustainable way, even better. ~ ., sensible and sustainable way, even better. ~ . ., , ., , sensible and sustainable way, even better. . ., , ., , ., better. we are also using paris to talk to the _ better. we are also using paris to talk to the olympic _ better. we are also using paris to talk to the olympic athletes - better. we are also using paris to talk to the olympic athletes and i better. we are also using paris to i talk to the olympic athletes and the paralympic athletes heading to the games this summer. i promised you a sneak peek of that kit and i am delighted to say i am joined by high jumperjonathan edwards, who will be

hello. the weather has started to change. it has started to turn warmer, and it will continue to do so over the next couple of days, turning very warm, even hot in some places, turning very humid as well. but that certainly doesn�*t mean it�*s always going to be sunny, and today, we certainly saw more clouds rolling in across parts of northern ireland. that was how it looked earlier on at newcastle in county down. this stripe of cloud here on the earlier satellite image, that�*s going to bring rain across parts of northern ireland and scotland overnight, but these various weather systems are mainly being steered away to the north at the moment, allowing this warm and humid air to work its way in. so through this evening and tonight, yes, we do have that cloud and those outbreaks of rain across northern ireland, the western side of scotland. it�*s going to turn quite misty and murky, i think, for some coasts and hills in the west as that increasingly humid air arrives. some clear spells further south and east, temperatures holding up between 11—1a degrees. so into tomorrow, cloud and outbreaks of rain for northern ireland, for scotland, perhaps the far north—west of england. whereas further south and east,

we see some spells of sunshine, but western coast of england and west wales perhaps quite misty and murky at times. temperatures, well, north to south, we�*re looking at 16—27 degrees. 16—2a would be typical at this time of year, so in many spots, those temperatures just a touch above the average forjuly. we haven�*t seen many above—average days recently. now into friday, here comes another weather system pushing its way in from the atlantic, but ahead of that, we really start to import some warmth from the near continent. this is the day when south—eastern parts of england could potentially get to 30 degrees. again, though, some mistand murk for some western coasts, a bit more cloud in the mix generally for northern ireland and scotland. even here, though, we will see some spells of sunshine. sheltered spots along the moray coast may well do quite nicely temperature—wise, 22—23 degrees, but 29—30 in the south—east corner. however, it will not last, because through the weekend, through saturday, we�*re going to see this frontal system bringing outbreaks of heavy, thundery rain.

and behind that, for sunday, we will be left with cooler, fresher air in places. so some heavy, thundery rain on saturday, sunshine and showers on sunday, and by that stage, it will feel cooler.

live from london, this is bbc news. the first labour government in 1a years sets out its plans for the country amid the pomp and pageantry of the state opening of parliament. fanfare. in a crowded house of lords, the king says sir keir starmer�*s government will create a new national energy company, re—nationalise railways, and reform planning and health laws. this is the scene live in the house of commons this evening, where mps continue to debate the contents of todays�*s king�*s speech. elsewhere today, in the us, pressure grows on the head of the secret service after the attempted assassination of donald trump. and the mayor of paris takes a dip in the seine, trying to prove the water is safe for swimmers just in time for the upcoming olympics.
