build right across azores high to build right across the uk. there are signs of a little bit of rigging, a little bit of influence in the area of high pressure but also an area of cloud pushing in from the atlantic. so it is not completely plain sailing, cloudy skies spreading from the west through the night. pretty night, a dry night for many, ten to m degrees, a few missed patches here and there. tomorrow across central and there. tomorrow across central and eastern parts of scotland, central and eastern parts of england we should hold on to a decent about sunshine but the chance for one or two sharp showers to break out. further west, two sharp showers to break out. furtherwest, northern two sharp showers to break out. further west, northern ireland, parts of wales, the south—west of england more cloud, bits and pieces of showery rain moving through. 19 degrees for belfast and for plymouth but in the sunshine down towards the south—east corner 25, 26, maybe 27 degrees. tomorrow evening more in the way of cloud spilling in, bits and pieces of rain. misty and murky

with increasingly humid conditions. thursday, it certainly isn't a straightforward weather chart, various different frontal systems in the picture but what it means for us really is quite a bit of cloud, areas of showery rain, perhaps the most persistent rain towards the south of the uk. still with a fairly humid feel i suspect, temperatures 19 to 22, maybe 23 degrees. it doesn't look too bad through friday and into the weekend, a few spells of sunshine, a chance of some showers up towards the north and west of the uk. thanks, ben. 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 hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. out of the olympics — one of britian�*s big medal hopes, three—time olympic champion, charlotte dujardin withdraws saying she's ashamed over "an error ofjudgement"

vicki moody and her horse were the ultimate commission for that event. jo currie come i think it's for bringing us up—to—date on that fast developing story. we knew it was coming, finally, andy murray has given us a end date to his illustrious career. he's the winner of three grand slams, the us open in 2012, then the year after, becoming the first british man to win wimbledon in 77 years. he won it again in 2016. but murray always said that one of his proudest moments was taking gold at the london olympics in 2012. he won gold again in rio, and now he's said the paris olympics will be the last tennis tournament that he will play in. michael redford looks back at his career. knowing when to stop is a skill in itself, when sir andy murray said his goodbyes to wimbledon earlier this month, many feared that would be it. i this month, many feared that would be it. ., ., ., ~ , , be it. i would love to keep playing but i cannot _

he has chosen the paris olympics because as he said in his tweets, it is been a memorable part of his career and special one, given that he is where he has won two gold medals. he was the flag bearer iii gigabytes in rio in 2016, and earlier i caught up with a petition official and axing the legacy andy murray leaves on british analytics port. i murray leaves on british analytics ort. , , ., port. i remember when i brought them in to invite them _ port. i remember when i brought them in to invite them to _ port. i remember when i brought them in to invite them to carry the _ port. i remember when i brought them in to invite them to carry the flag - in to invite them to carry the flag and i think is the only time i've seen andy as absolutely speechless, and the reason he was speechless, and the reason he was speechless, and he smokes about it adequately, it is because being the captain of the team, holding the values that we have in team gp, the values and our culture, he embraced and invited every single part of that, and that is why his legacy in team gb is so strong and great. the is why his legacy in team gb is so

there. lloris got there for us. murray had a very humble introduction to the sport, playing on the concrete courts in dunblaine. since then, he's helped develop the game and has invested hugely in his home town. sad, really sad, but i think it is inevitable that the younger generation steps in and it moves on. i think he's getting an opportunity here, and hopefully he can win us medal, but i think, yes, he has done wonders for the sport, and what a sterling career. i wish he can continue but then, he's getting old like everybody else. manchester city and england goalkeeper khiara keating has pleaded not guilty to possessing canisters of nitrous oxide. the 20—year—old appeared at salford and manchester magistrates' court alongside her mother, nicola keating, who denied the same offence. nitrous oxide was made a class c drug in november last year. keating, who was called up to the england squad last season, spoke only to confirm her name and address and to deny the charge.

both were granted unconditional bail ahead of a further hearing in september. the premier league is to take legal action against football's world governing body fifa over the expansion of the international football calendar, potentially risking the health of players. they're joining with other top european leagues and also the players union in filing a complaint to the european commission over what they calll fifa's "abuse of dominance" in the game. nesta mcgregor is outside old trafford. nesta, this is just nesta, this isjust the nesta, this is just the latest in an ongoing debates, isn't it? yes. nesta, this isjust the latest in an ongoing debates, isn't it?- ongoing debates, isn't it? yes, a debate and _ ongoing debates, isn't it? yes, a debate and dispute, _ ongoing debates, isn't it? yes, a debate and dispute, and - ongoing debates, isn't it? yes, a debate and dispute, and the - ongoing debates, isn't it? yes, a - debate and dispute, and the question at the centre of this debate is how much football is currently being played, and if you ask a premier league and some clubs, they will say too much, and that is dangerous for players that are involved. to lay out the argument simply, we have a 40 out the argument simply, we have a a0 of the top leagues in europe,

including the premier league, fe pro which represents a players, they are calling on fifa to do more to ensure that players get sufficient time i would from the pitch. if you want to go it was being spoken about to have 20 mandatory days leave from work. fifa so far has failed to implement that and knelt both sides of gone to the european commission seen that not only do they think people is not doing enough, fifa is adding to the problem by increasing the number of pictures in any calendar year, and they give two examples. they give they give two examples. they give the fifa club world cup, which is now going from ten days to less than a whole month, and he also gave the expansion of the world cup, and in 2026, when it is based in north america, it will go from 32 teams to a8 teams, and in fee for offence, they say what they do benefits again globally, and in the statement they actually said the calendar was unanimously approved by the fifa constable including delegates from

europe. they go on to say that fifa is the only calendar incremental in ensuring that international law continues to thrive, and may be more total of all, this is some leagues in europe, themselves competitive organisations and regulators are acting with commercials of interest and hypocrisy, saying that during the off—season —— off—season or vacancies season, these teams engage in friendly games that are exhaustive for travel. it's a big night for welsh champions, the new saints, who will hope to take a step closer to making the group stages of european competition for the first time. but standing in their way are hungarian giants ferencvaros in the second round of champions league qualifying. our reporter nick southall is in budapest. the new saints take on the turkish

champions ferencvaros, they even led to the european cup winners cup final when the loss 3— the minimal care. recent years, they've been regulars in the group stages under the last two years they even got through to the knockout stages as well. one of the toughest draws that the the new saints could have been given. the the new saints could have been civen. a : ~ the the new saints could have been liven. i, : ~' :, the the new saints could have been civen. 1, : ~ . ., ., given. back a while, hungarian football was _ given. back a while, hungarian football was a _ given. back a while, hungarian football was a place _ given. back a while, hungarian football was a place to - given. back a while, hungarian football was a place to be, - given. back a while, hungarian| football was a place to be, they have some fantastic footballers coming through in the 50s and 605 and coming through in the 505 and 605 and 705, and they are huge club historically and the stadium is a fantastic stadium. there some good internationals players. it is almost a well done the new saints for getting to where we got an opportunity to go and play against team5 opportunity to go and play against teams like this and competes against team5 teams like this and competes against teams like this and competes against teams like this, but we are notjust here to turn up and enjoy the stadium and thenjust here to turn up and enjoy the stadium and then just be rolled over. we are here to compete. tended

mother saw there were discounted tickets for the hundred and i really enjoyed it, and then i saw alice capsey playing, and impeded —— immediately like licht, thought she was my favourite player and i love their every since. i was like, i want to play cricket, so my mum found super ones, which is where i have not been planned for 1.5 years. it is helped her bring her mental health back to the state, she's making — health back to the state, she's making friends again, and it's nice to see _ making friends again, and it's nice to see this— making friends again, and it's nice to see this version of imogen again compared — to see this version of imogen again compared to what we saw two years a lo. compared to what we saw two years auo. �* :, compared to what we saw two years ayo, �* :, :, compared to what we saw two years auo. �* :, :, , , , compared to what we saw two years auo. :, ,,., compared to what we saw two years auo. :, ago. i'm going to surprise a super ones participants, _ ago. i'm going to surprise a super ones participants, imogen. - ones participants, imogen. apparently, she's a big cricket fan, it is nice to go surprise her and see how she reacted —— reacts, and hopefully play some cricket with her. hello, imogen, nice to meet

well, capsey played a vital role for her team on the field of play as she guided the oval invincibles to a win in the opening match of this year's tournament. after being put into bat, capsey scored 52 offjust a0 balls as the invincibles set the birmingham pheonix 151 to win. and their opponents never got close — bowled out 105 with eight balls remaining, giving the two—time champions an emphatic victory on the opening day. really happy i'm obviously want to start the tournament well and set that platform of how you want to go about things in a tournament, so delighted to have that and into the top of the order, and then i thought the bowlers were outstanding, kneeling their plans, and we were a bit short for time at the end, so a good job we bowled them out. tough game for us. i thought we did 0k in the field. i thouht we were

0k in the field. i thought we were 0k, 0k in the field. i thought we were 0k. and— 0k in the field. i thought we were 0k, and then obviously we didn't get a partnership, which really showed with schofield and her there. we 'ust with schofield and her there. we just needed something like that with the hack, _ just needed something like that with the back, it's all right. the overlying principles are one of the men _ the overlying principles are one of the men in — the overlying principles are one of the men in the champions league. they are _ the men in the champions league. they are bowling first against the birmingham phoenix. they have started incredibly well taking four early wickets, including an early dismissal of england batsmen annie livingstone. it is live now on bbc two if you want to keep up—to—date with it. well, one of the priorities for the olympics is sustainability and for the past eight days a bbc team has been cycling to paris from manchester,

stopping along the way to meet current and former athletes. reporter sarah dawkins and her team have now arrived in the french capital after completing the journey at one of the city's most famous landmarks. she sent this report, looking back at their journey. pedalfor pedal for paris is complete. we cycled over 800 males. we started at the national cycling centre in manchester and finished here at the arc de triomphe. this is how we got here. pedal for paris starts today at the home of british cycling. eight days, 550 miles all the way to paris for the start of the olympic games. don't try and get there as fast as you can. try and get there as comfortably as you can. we're a few miles in now, chris, how are you feeling?

and today is an absolute scorcher. we know that when we get to paris, it's likely that the olympic athletes are going to face even higher temperatures than we've experienced, and we're just breaking records to the point that breaking records is stopping becoming news. we look at things like the water quality. that's obviously a big one for us as rowers. we can change, we can make a difference, but the action has to be now. you just come for the glory, really, aren't you? - that's it. just diving in. i'm coming in because you made me. you made me. how often do you get to cycle to an olympic games? so it's an amazing way to arrive in paris anyway. and we're spending some time with incredible people who are really passionate about issues that are so important to the planet we live on, the country we live in. it's nice to do a ride like this in a group. obviously, we started out in central london and utilised all the infrastructure that's been built over the last 10 to 15 years. cycling can be for everybody. we know that if people are fitter and healthier then they'll be more productive people and happier lives.

that's all from sportsday. thanks for watching, bye—bye. hello there. the weather through the rest of the week is looking a little bit mixed, but today, there was some warm sunshine for most of us. some of the best weather was to be found in western parts of scotland. lovely weather watcher picture that. and also across northern ireland, where we had blue skies through much of the day. but these areas may not do quite so well in the next few days. there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic that will push its way steadily eastwards — maybe bring a little rain. ahead of that though, arriving, any showers that are formed across eastern areas won't last long at all, and the cloud will come and go a bit overnight. it should be dry overnight, the winds will be light, and those temperatures by the end of the night, typically ii or 12 degrees. now there is more cloud coming in from the atlantic tomorrow. there will be some sunshine

at times, could be a little bit hazy, mind you, and across some eastern areas we may well find one or two showers breaking out as well. but it's towards the west where we've got the cloud thickening in northern ireland, later westernmost parts of scotland, wales and the southwest, where we'll see damp weather moving in as well. and so for these areas in the west, temperatures are going to be a little bit lower on wednesday. further east, it will be warmer. could reach 26 degrees in the south east of england — depends how much sunshine there's going to be. but as we head into thursday, it's cloudy skies that will dominate a tangle of weather fronts across the uk. rather messy sort of picture. cloudy skies, a bit of rain from time—to—time here and there, particularly in the west. there's a risk of some heavy rain pushing its way eastwards across southern parts of england, especially into the afternoon, but further north across eastern england and eastern scotland, they may well be dry, and temperatures here reaching the low 205 at best on thursday. things are a bit more straightforward by the end of the week, because these weather fronts are going to move away, taking rain away from overnight. the rain still not far away

from the south east of england through much of friday, but otherwise we'll see some sunny spells. there will be a few showers breaking out, and these are most likely where the winds are a bit stronger in northern ireland and across scotland — some of those showers could be a little on the sharp side. temperatures are back down to 18 degrees in glasgow, and a high of 23 celsius in the south east of england. but what of the weekend? well, saturday we'll see some sunshine. some showers for the northern half of the uk. should be drier though on sunday, and in some sunshine, maybe a bit warmer as well.
