this one shows you if someone's looking over your shoulder to steal your pin code. reassurance you might want if they close your branch to replace it with a machine. we are moving towards a no bank branch era. we used to have about 20,000 bank branches in the uk. soon we will have about 4,000. and atms, smart atms as we call them, will actually provide 99% of all the services that people can get from bank branches today. that's not a world everyone will welcome, but the technology unleashed back in the 60s is still transforming the way we bank half a century later. simon gompertz, bbc news. time for the weather. let me tell you, i think we have got a little overdrawn with the sunshine last week. look at this picture, artistic it maybe, but its awful and the outlook for this week is just
1:31 pm
disappointing. what will it look like this week? all week long we will have this low pressure over us. there is a fair bit of rain with it. there is a fair bit of rain with it. there will be some sunshine from time to time. but today hardly any sunshine across the uk. just over cast, right across the board and for some of us it will be a grotty day. this what is it looks like now. we have had some thunder storms in the south—east. and more of them to come. there could be some thunder storms in northern ireland as well. let's start the afternoon with the south—east. look at that — 18 degrees, rain and the rain will get heavier and heavier through the day. the south west, wales and the midlands, the rain is more patchy and in the the north we have had the heavier rain last night. but in northern ireland after the soggy morning, here showers will be breaking out during the afternoon. so there could be some down pours in
1:32 pm
places. and look at that eastern coast of scotland from inverness down to dundee, 11 degrees in aberdeen, rain and a wind off the north sea. that doesn't feel at all summery. yorkshire with some rain. tonight the rain gets heavier and heavier in the south—east. it moves into the midlands and drifts slowly further north into northern areas. so actually it is not going to be cold, 16 in the south. fresher in scotland. this ugly looking low, with lots of weather fronts around it, it is not shifting. it has decided to stay here all week long. sol decided to stay here all week long. so i think on wednesday, the worst of the weather transfers to more central and eastern areas. from lincolnshire up to newcastle a wind off the north sea and it will be cool off the north sea and it will be cool, but there is some good news, in scotland tomorrow, a much better
1:33 pm
day than today. you get the message the, the low pressure won't give rain every where. it will change from time to time. on thursday, we could have some sunshine across the south—east and central areas. is there a light at the end of the tun —— tunnel. yes it is drier and brighter at the weekend. thank goodness! thank you. our main story here: google has been fined £1.1 billion by the european commission for breaking competition regulations. welcome to the bbc sports centre with the latest sports news. the british and irish lions missed
1:34 pm
out on a morale boosting win as they drew their final tour match with the super rugby side hurricanes. it finished 31 points all, as warren gatland's side squandered a 1k point lead. with the focus now shifting to the two must win tests against new zealand to come. katie gornall reports. the final midweek match of the lions tour and willing to give it a sense of occasion. for many of these players, this could be the last time that the pool on the famous red jersey. great labour seized this moment and when he ran out of options there was a scotland team will tommy seymour to finish the job. the banks kept the scoreboard ticking over but before half—time hurricanes powerfully hit back. but several additions for test places, time was running out to impress. george north was a surprise omission last week, will this persuade warren gatland to change his mind? the line struggled to hold back the hurricanes but in ian henderson we had a one—man blockade. tommy seymour broke again clear to put his
1:35 pm
side a0 points ahead. surely they could not let it slip from here? the match would turn on one rush of blood to the head. henderson sent to the sin bin and in his absence they are constructs. a flurry of late tries including this one saw the lions morale boosting victory slip from their grasp. this was a desperate door. the yellow card was the big moment. the penalty to others was then reversed and a yeovil card, that is the game. we have ended up drawing the match but it feels very disappointing because you were in control. the priority for the lions was all was going to be the decisive second test here on saturday but this was hardly the warm up that they wanted. a few players have given warren gatland something to think about botin with that aside cannot afford to perform like this against the all blacks. from wellington to leicester, where england's women are taking on pakistan in their second group match of the women's world cup.
1:36 pm
joe wilson is there. and the hosts batting first, well placed to bounce back from that surprise defeat to india in their opening match. yes, absolutely, it is an overcast morning and be missed half an hour of play this morning at the start, the floodlights are on. in the last hour and they half england are starting to enjoy this world cup for the first time. they came in under pressure, lost both openers early on but since then the captain has dominated. this is quite a weak pakistani attack, just got to 100. we have 13 or so overslept. they will make a big winning total, i am sure. but if the weather arrives and the rain comes back mid—afternoon as expected, england will be desperate that pakistan get enough overs to count as a result. they do not want this to be rained off as a no result. so far, so good for england and leicester and a decent edges will crowd giving us an atmosphere.
1:37 pm
thank you, joe wilson, many thanks indeed. the world number one andy murray has pulled out of today's exhibition match at the hurlingham club in london, citing soreness in his hip. he is still expected to play at the club on friday before beginning the defence of his wimbledon title on centre court on monday afternoon. the decision has been described as a precaution. british number one with johanna konta faces sorana cirtsea at eastbourne this afternoon. she's the only british woman to reach the main draw of wimbledon directly, but having lost in the first round of the warm—up tournaments in nottingham and birmingham, is looking to find some form on grass. rain though has suspended play there, so it could be some time before she plays. that's all sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. i will return at 2:30pm with your next update. thank you. you are watching the bbc
