consecutive finals. 2014, brazil, then two copa americas. it was the last chance to show something. this is the mass. argentina have to defeat nigeria in the final group game next tuesday. they have the hope iceland slip up in both the next matches. they will play nigeria and an unchanged brazil. brazil drew the opening match. plenty to look forward to on the ninth day. on the eighth day, here in russia, at the world cup, it is all about argentina, and how bad they were against croatia. moving away from the world cup.

by croatia, guaranteeing their place in the last 16. that was in group d. it is in the air, and not the hands of argentina, as to whether they make the last 16. hello. our weather's warming up. i know that's not music to everyone's ears, but it is on its way. 21.3 celsius was thursday's top temperature, in hampshire, but for a time next week the hot spots will be getting closer to 30 celsius. now, not everyone is getting that hot, but temperatures will widely be in the low to mid—20s, with plenty of dry, sunny weather, with high pressure in control. we've cooled things down a little bit in recent days, with this flow of air from the north—west. but we're about to lose that as high pressure moves right in across the uk, allowing the warmer weather into the sunshine. and those temperatures will build, day on day. but there will be a chill in the air first thing friday morning for early risers, as temperatures overnight dip down into single figures quite widely, but those temperatures are heading up as the day goes on. light winds, a noticeable breeze across northern scotland,

with some cloud around in the far north of scotland and the northern isles. patchy light rain and drizzle spreading east. a bit of high cloud may be turning things hazy for parts of wales, south—west england, but for most, it's sunshine on the way. breezy winds, breeziest for northern scotland. very high uv and pollen levels, particularly in the england and wales, adding a degree or so to the temperature compared to recent days. some get into the low 20s — 21, 22 degrees under clear skies on friday night and into saturday morning, while maybe a bit of patchy cloud across parts of scotland, but largely clear skies. fairly rapid wind and the temperatures dip again, into single figures for some of us. but i don't think quite as chilly on saturday morning, compared with friday morning. so that sets the scene for the weekend, what's going on. we're talking about high pressure moving across the uk, and here it is, although at the start of the weekend, eagle eyes will notice this weather system moving on through northern scotland. so of course, that's going to bring more breeze, more cloud here, and the further north you are into the northern isles, some outbreaks of rain on saturday. and there'll be some high cloud elsewhere, not necessarily clear blue sky. the sun will be hazy at times. nevertheless, temperatures will have risen a little bit more, particularly in parts of england and wales. and then for part two

of the weekend, on sunday, early rain clears away from shetland, and then it's largely sunny all the way. dry, very light winds, and widely on sunday, temperatures will be into the low 20s. and again into next week, with high pressure sticking around, along with the sunshine, the temperatures are edging up a bit further, more into the mid—20s. but yes, some as the heat builds will see that temperature reaching into the upper 20s, to near 30 celsius. and that's your latest forecast. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is mike embley. our top stories:
