10:53 pm
to the french open. the british number two is safely into the second round after a straight—sets win over american bjorn fratangelo. norrie's already made it to two atp finals on clay this season and his good form continued at roland garros. and if he wins his next match he could face the toughest test of them all — the king of clay himself — rafael nadal. meanwhile, playing in his first grand slam match for 16 months. roger federer showed no signs of rust in dismantling denis istomin in straight sets. federer last played at roland garros in 2019 and has suffered from a knee injury over the past year. but he came through comfortably 6—2, 6—4, 6—3. to football, sergio aguero has been officially announced as a barcelona player. the argentinian will leave manchester city at the end of his contract next month, after a brilliant 10 years in the premier league. aguero posed in a barca shirt at the nou camp today. he'lljoin up with his good friend and fellow countryman, lionel messi at the catalan giants after signing on a two year deal. during his decade with city he scored 260 goals in 390 games, becoming the club's all—time leading goalscorer. winning 15 major trophies in the process.

it's been announced that brazil will host the copa america, with less than 2 weeks notice. the change comes after argentina was stripped of the rights to hold the competition late last night because of a surge in covid cases. argentina were originally set to co—host with colombia. but they were removed earlier this month after protests in the country. the south american football confederation say the venues and fixtures are still to be announced. i suspect discussions have been going on for a lot more than the ten or 12 hours since we have known that the cup will not be played in argentina. brazil, of course, is not devoid of conflict regarding this. i mean, just this morning, i have seen all sorts of reactions going through, some quite harsh, some saying fans are now going to be coffin carriers. there is a lot of disapproval within brazil. but then again, they had that for the world cup and the olympics. they had a lot

the shrimps beat newport county 1—0 in the league 2 play—off final at wembley this afternoon to reach the third tier for the first time in their history. getting there wasn't easy though, they needed this penalty, in the second half of extra time, from carlos mendes gomes to seal it. much to the delight of theirfans in london. ecstasy for morecambe who finished five points in front of newport despite losing to the exiles home and away and that's all the sport for now. for me and the rest of the sport team, bye—bye. hello again. bank holiday monday was the hottest day of the year so far. i would say "no complaints", but may was a complete wash—out — the wettest on record in wales, the fourth wettest for the uk, and it was chilly. 25 celsius we had in kinloch certainly made a welcome change. that warm weather felt by most of us, however, we did have some of that pesky low cloud, the mist and fog around north sea coasts, and some of that lingered all day in shetland, keeping the temperatures at just ten celsius here. and we have got more of these fog banks to come as we head into tuesday morning.
10:57 pm
again, shetland, very likely to see some of that, and across eastern england, stretching from norfolk across lincolnshire into yorkshire all the way to probably north yorkshire, you are likely to come across some fog, some low cloud, and even the occasional spot of drizzle. but otherwise, a dry start to the day on tuesday, relatively mild. and for those in the west, probably a glorious start to the day because we have this weather front out to the far west, and some of that cloud will get illuminated. sunshine on through the rest of the day, but we will have some of these fog banks affecting shetland from time to time, but otherwise, i think, many eastern coasts better chance of seeing the sunshine. and it's going to be a bit warmer, 21r—25 celsius more widespread, the warmest places probably getting up to 26 celsius which, again, will make it the warmest day of the year. and, of course, it'sjune, the skies are clear, that's why we have high levels of uv. if you are outside for any length of time, might be worth considering a bit of sun cream. on into the middle part of the week, we have some changes in the weather picture. this area of low pressure is drifting up from europe bringing with it some thundery showers.
10:58 pm
they will mainly be across southwestern areas of the country. further northwards and eastwards, it's another sunny and very warm day, in fact, temperatures could go as high as 27 celsius in the very warmest spots, but, perhaps over these north sea coasts, a little bit cooler, given the onshore winds will be strengthening a little bit. so highs of about 17 celsius or so in newcastle. on into thursday's forecast, that area of low pressure continues to push northwards, just bringing the risk of those showers across northern england into scotland. this front really marks the boundary between fresher atlantic air that will be moving in across the uk for many of us from the slightly warmer weather that we still have a across far eastern areas. now, temperatures will be drifting down then for many, but still not bad, 19 celsius, feeling pleasant in cardiff, the highest temperatures, eastern england, up to 2a celsius in norwich.
