not for long because the low down. not for long because the low is on its way and it will bring wet and windy weather in from the west. the indoor swimming tool at butlins might be a handy thing, i suspect. that wet weather sleeps its way steadily northwards into southern scotland and northern england and north wales, particularly heavy. showery in nature further south and not quite getting into scotland. gusty winds for all, 30 to a0 mph, but we could see over 50 mph across the far south—west. top temperatures likely to peak between ten and 15 degrees. that low will be through thursday and into friday and grinds to a halt across the scottish borders and into northern england and the strongest of the winds will be further south. it is a messy story on friday. quite a lot of cloud around, showery outbreaks of rain, some of them heavy at times and the wind is a feature once again, particularly along the channel facing coast, gusts in

excess of 50 miles an hour. it will not feel warm in comparison to today in the sunshine, eight to 1a degrees. it does look as though saturday will stop promising, dry, settled and sunny. more rain on sunday, just a sneak preview into next week, high—pressure building, quietened things down as we approached bank holiday weekend. a reminder of our top story... the prime minister says there is increasing confidence that vaccines work against the indian covid variant. recorded cases reach almost 3000. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc

in the euro 92. a whole new generation of players going into theirfirst major generation of players going into their first major tournament. are you excited by that squad? i their first major tournament. are you excited by that squad?- their first major tournament. are you excited by that squad? i am, i think stephen _ you excited by that squad? i am, i think stephen clarke _ you excited by that squad? i am, i think stephen clarke has - you excited by that squad? i am, i think stephen clarke has done - you excited by that squad? i am, i think stephen clarke has done anl think stephen clarke has done an amazing job so far even to get scotland there. it has been generations since we got to a major tournament, so it is a big moment for scotland and i am very impressed he has done that. i have seen squads with far better standards of players, but when we have got enough quality there, and the names most people will know like mctominay, robertson and tierney, they are all there and a big help is having adams as well. since he has come in and played for scotland that has made a big difference as well. that played for scotland that has made a big difference as well.— big difference as well. that spine of a lot of experience, _ big difference as well. that spine of a lot of experience, which - big difference as well. that spine of a lot of experience, which is l of a lot of experience, which is what you need going into a major tournament, but then we have got this uncapped trio of players and with your chelsea connections you will know all about billy gilmour. i will know all about billy gilmour. i will be honest, i phoned stephen

clarke up yesterday morning and started badgering him about billy gilmour and telling him how good he has been. he did not get a game i was at last night when chelsea were playing against leicester, but when he has got the opportunity, he is top quality, he is international class and he will play for scotland for many years. he may well be young and he can do better than survive and he can do better than survive and do very well at that level. it would be a concern to me if he had not got into the squad. i am not saying stevie listen to me, but it is great to see those three players. some players will be feeling fairly miserable today. you think about leigh griffiths and how far his stock has fallen. anyone else who should have perhaps got the nod? again, it is really hard because everyone thinks they should get in. certainly if you look at the scottish cup final this season, hibs play against saintjohnstone, and those clubs are not massively noticeable in that squad. there will

always be one or two knock down and i have been in that position myself. what you have to do is work really hard, look at the squad and say, i have got to be better. it is touch and go, a flip of the coin and there will always be one or two disappointed, that is the deal. by, disappointed, that is the deal. a quick word on the tartan army. we know stadiums cannot operate at full capacity, but under 2000 tickets for the two and in matches does not seem quite right? it is the two and in matches does not seem uuite riuht? , ., , quite right? it is actually painful, it is almost _ quite right? it is actually painful, it is almost physically _ quite right? it is actually painful, it is almost physically painful. . quite right? it is actually painful, it is almost physically painful. i l it is almost physically painful. i was at the first game chelsea played the other night and there were just over 8000 people in and what a noise they made in a stadium that was quite big. you could have done with that sort of number of scotland fans which would have allowed hamdan to rock a bit. it is the way it is and we have to take safety first and thatis we have to take safety first and that is what they are doing. it would have helped scotland a massive amount because there is a reliance on that fan base getting behind scotland. it is the same for england and the same for every other country

in the group and the championships and we have to deal with it and work with it. ., ., , ' with it. roll on june the 14th. thanks for— with it. roll on june the 14th. thanks for sharing _ with it. roll on june the 14th. thanks for sharing your - with it. roll on june the 14th. . thanks for sharing your thoughts with it. roll on june the 14th. - thanks for sharing your thoughts on steve clarke's 26. thanks for sharing your thoughts on steve clarke's 26. it's a busy night in the prmier league. three of the six matches have already kicked off and are approaching halftime. totte n ha m tottenham play aston villa in their final home game of the season, so it is in front of fans at the tottenham hotspur stadium. a lot of speculation that it could be harry kane's last game there. there have been goals. spurs got the lead and aston villa equalised thanks to an outrageous goal. he beat hugo lloris. no chance of a top four finish for spares. they have a bit to do because they are now losing 2-1 to do because they are now losing 2—1 because of watkins' goal for aston villa. no goals in the other two matches. no goals in the other two matches. liverpool's push for a champions league place continues at burnley tonight. win and they willjump above leicester into fourth

and that last—minute goal, maybe he was saying, in his press conference, that it could just be fate. you mention about liverpool in the top four and it would be the first time, should they beat burnley tonight, that they would have been in the top four since february the 1ath of this year. four since february the 14th of this ear. , . ., , year. they could be timing their run erfectl . year. they could be timing their run perfectly- no _ year. they could be timing their run perfectly. no team _ year. they could be timing their run perfectly. no team used _ year. they could be timing their run perfectly. no team used for- year. they could be timing their run perfectly. no team used for half- year. they could be timing their run perfectly. no team used for half an | perfectly. no team used for half an hour, are you expecting any changes? alex 0xlade—chamberlain is available again, maybe we will see him on the bench. he missed out in the game against west bromwich albion through illness. james milner it may also be in contention. we will have the team news at round the back 7:15pm tonight when it is revealed. but the momentum liverpool have, and the fact that seven weeks ago nobody would have given them a chance of klopp calls it the semifinal tonight. he wants to take it to the

final on the last day against crystal palace, against a former liverpool manager, and with the fans back at anfield, because the fans will also be here at burnley tonight, so that will add a bit more spice. burnley want to finish their season on a hike in front of their home fans. it has not been the easiest of seasons for them as well and they will put up a fight against liverpool, guaranteed about that. many thanks indeed. you can follow all the football this evening on five format live sports. a quick round—up of some of the other football news. police scotland are investigating an explosion and fire at the home of celtic chief executive peter lawwell early this morning.

really good learning about how we reach those communities that we have not always successfully reached in women's football. we are working in inner—city areas a lot of the time and working with people locally, so really looking at how we reach people, how we empower different communities to play our game, enjoy our game, watch our game. so, for me, it was a big learning curve, a massive increase in participation, which is terrific, but hopefully we see a real uptake in fans coming through the door to watch the women's game and that carries on through to the european championship post the tournament. in through to the european championship post the tournament.— post the tournament. in the past we have seen a — post the tournament. in the past we have seen a new _ post the tournament. in the past we have seen a new broadcast - post the tournament. in the past we have seen a new broadcast deal - post the tournament. in the past we j have seen a new broadcast deal with the wsl, which means in the build—up to this tournament you would expect more eyes than ever to be on women's football. i wonder if those developments and what has happened in the time that you have had a way if that has led you to revise

targets again and if it has influenced your ambitions in anyway because of the progress that has been made?— been made? yes, we want to be ambitious. _ been made? yes, we want to be ambitious, and _ been made? yes, we want to be ambitious, and 700,000 - been made? yes, we want to be| ambitious, and 700,000 tickets, been made? yes, we want to be - ambitious, and 700,000 tickets, uefa think, is incredibly ambitious. yes, we wanted to be ambitious, but equally we wanted to be realistic. whether we have got that balance right, it would be great if we could sell out every stadium and people say we should have had bigger stadiums, but i will be delighted. big plans for next year's european women's championship. the second golf major of the year, the uspga championship, gets under way tomorrow. rory mcilroy has described the last few holes at kiawah island as brutal. he's in good form and has very good memories of the course. craig templeton reports. kiawah, south carolina, a course not far from charleston, kiawah, south carolina, a course not farfrom charleston, a course where rory mcilroy once danced his way to victory. he won his second major title here by eight
