time for a look at the weather — here's sarah keith lucas. it has been a mixed start of day. some of us kept the cloud with outbreaks of rain and other areas so sunshine breaking through. this was the view earlier on with some blue sky but many of us have had the cloud and be outbreaks of rain and we have seen some fairly heavy downpours over the last couple of hours so there is a slow—moving weather front has produced hours so there is a slow—moving weatherfront has produced rain hours so there is a slow—moving weather front has produced rain and for wales and shops are heavy showers and thunderstorms and thunderstorms around the coast of essex. if you catch those heavy downpours you could see some localised flooding over the next couple of errors but through the weekend a mix of some sunshine, a few showers on saturday and persistent rain in the south on sunday. for now these heavy downpours are going to be easing their way through this evening and tonight. still drizzly rain and low

cloud around us parts of southern scotland but temperatures in double figures for most of us heading into saturday morning. saturday we still have the slow—moving area of low pressure that brought us the cloud and rain. nota pressure that brought us the cloud and rain. not a particularly active weather front but it is bringing cloud, mist and fog. tending to brighten up through the day for most of us but in the sunshine you could see more of those sharp showers in the afternoon. 22 degrees or so for london. still cool for scotland and northern ireland temperatures in the mid teens. still uncertainty about the detail but it looks like outbreaks of rain across parts of southern england on sunday. further north the better sort of day with some sunshine and temperatures rising to 21 degrees or so for glasgow. that's it, so goodbye from me.

hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... aiming to reach the quarter finals of euro 2020 — wales step up their preparations ahead of facing denmark in amsterdam tomorrow. i will have the latest from the england training camp at saint georges parker headed their match against germany next week england have been practising their penalties. dissapointment for the defending women's champion simona halep — who's forced to pull out of wimbledon three days before the start of the championships. also coming up on the programme... why tonight is mo farah�*s last chance to qualify for the tokyo olympics. and on the eve of this years tour de

france, what are the chances of british success in the worlds biggest bike race? welcome along, thanks forjoining us. this time tomorrow wales will be approaching the end of their last 16 tie against denmark at euro 2020. their last run at the european championship took them all the way to the semi—finals — but how far can they go this time? our wales correspodent hywel griffith is in amsterdam for us. where wales have been continuing their preparations today. yes. they are from rome last night and were welcomed with pretty welsh weather, very familiar to the players although they probably prefer the conditions in rome. they've been into the stadium and

have the opportunity to take it in, getting selfies and getting the feel for the pitch, for a lot of the squad, tournament football is still fairly new territory. of course wales only qualify for a major tournament three times with the last time that you mentioned 2016 was a huge success story for wales, making it all the way through to the semifinals. can they do it again? that was the key question for the captain gareth bale as he spoke to the media early on. we are just thinking of the next game. we don't need to dream about anything else other than playing the game tomorrow. we've had experience in the past, we know to take each game as it comes. that is the most important thing. we are looking forward to tomorrow. we don't need to look any further past that. they are a very good denmark team and we will do everything we can to stop them. no fans are allowed to travel from the uk to amsterdam. no famous redwall for wales this time. some

well supporters are there of course but then mark should be able to make this feel like a home game. —— the denmark should be able to. yes. this feel like a home game. -- the denmark should be able to. yes. they have the advantage _ denmark should be able to. yes. they have the advantage may _ denmark should be able to. yes. they have the advantage may be _ denmark should be able to. yes. they have the advantage may be of- denmark should be able to. yes. they have the advantage may be of three . have the advantage may be of three home games all the of course they have had a pretty tough time with the collapse of erickson in the first match what we expect may be a couple of thousand danish fans to be in the stadium tomorrow, this question will be what about the neutrals? given what this team has been through, there will be a lot of goodwill behind the danes. what about the wales? they are ex—pats living here in the netherlands. we have been speaking to three teachers overin have been speaking to three teachers over in the hague, they know they may be just a couple of bricks and that redwall but at the they are prepared to sing their hearts out tomorrow to get behind wales. they hit the corner. if you like to have _ they hit the corner. if you like to have to _ they hit the corner. if you like to have to be — they hit the corner. if you like to have to be there with my red shirt and flag — have to be there with my red shirt and flag. whatever else i can bring, making _ and flag. whatever else i can bring, making as _ and flag. whatever else i can bring, making as much noise as possible. we will making as much noise as possible. we. will be making as much noise as possible. will be few in making as much noise as possible. we will be few in numbers but will be allowed _ will be few in numbers but will be allowed in — will be few in numbers but will be allowed in lo _

yesterday about how tough a test this will be — but also how exciting — and today you've heard from declan rice? yes we have been. it will be a really intense few days for the england team as they analyse just what kind of the german threat there will be, there will be going through formations, different set pieces, tactical switches, and there will be such a debate over the next few days among england fans in england watchers aboutjust among england fans in england watchers about just what the best starting xi will be, what gareth southgate will put out there at wimberly on tuesday night, we had a training session this morning, harry maguire was back in that main training group. he was arrested yesterday. just managing his work load because they game against the checks was his first in over six weeks. —— he rested yesterday. he is a sure—fire start to come as is harry kane the captain for the pretty much on droppable. yet to

score a goal. still no mason mount or ben chilwell, still in isolation and they will come out of that on match day. we did speak to declan rice today. he says he felt like a lost soul without his best mate makes an amount and that he would step up to take a penalty. he has been a really impressive and that holding midfield role alongside kalvin phillips but after starting the first three matches in the group, he was brought often have time forjordan henderson, so there is a real sense of rivalry and competition position and that midfield axis could be very important against germany, so england had thatjust right but at the same time, they are still accused of being a little too negative because three clean sheets to the group is fantastic, only instantly have mentors that, but italy also scored a bagful of goals in their group and of all the 16 teams that have gone through to the

last 16 income england are bottom of the goal—scoring charts. just the two winners from raheem sterling will stop two goals only. it doesn't look very good when you put them in the table of goal—scoring. i asked declan rice and i said is this a worry going into a match against germany that you have been laid down a marker and gone into two state match off the back of a big convincing win?— match off the back of a big convincin: win? ~ ., , convincing win? when will qualify for this tournament, _ convincing win? when will qualify for this tournament, i _ convincing win? when will qualify for this tournament, i think - convincing win? when will qualify for this tournament, i think we i convincing win? when will qualify i for this tournament, i think we went on the _ for this tournament, i think we went on the stage — for this tournament, i think we went on the stage where we beating teams five, on the stage where we beating teams five. four— on the stage where we beating teams five, four nil, but we aren't worried _ five, four nil, but we aren't worried. there are two goals, we neither— worried. there are two goals, we neither team can score more with the world-class _ neither team can score more with the world—class talent that we have. that _ world—class talent that we have. that will — world—class talent that we have. that will come i'm sure in the next couple _ that will come i'm sure in the next couple of— that will come i'm sure in the next couple of rounds at the tournament progresses — couple of rounds at the tournament progresses now. i feel we will step it up _ progresses now. i feel we will step it u -. . ., , progresses now. i feel we will step it u. _, , ., progresses now. i feel we will step itu. , ., ., progresses now. i feel we will step. it op— l hepe it up. next couple of rounds? i hope so. jack grealish _ it up. next couple of rounds? i hope so. jack grealish coming _ it up. next couple of rounds? i hope so. jack grealish coming into - it up. next couple of rounds? i hope so. jack grealish coming into the - so. jack grealish coming into the side, so. jack grealish coming into the side. what _ so. jack grealish coming into the side, what did _ so. jack grealish coming into the side, what did you _ so. jack grealish coming into the side, what did you make - so. jack grealish coming into the side, what did you make of- so. jack grealish coming into the side, what did you make of his i side, what did you make of his performance _ side, what did you make of his performance and _ side, what did you make of his performance and think- side, what did you make of his performance and think this - side, what did you make of his . performance and think this might have lreen— performance and think this might have been what _ performance and think this might have been what we _ performance and think this might have been what we have - performance and think this might have been what we have been . performance and think this might - have been what we have been missing in that— have been what we have been missing in that correction _ have been what we have been missing in that correction scotland _ have been what we have been missing in that correction scotland game? - have been what we have been missing in that correction scotland game? iirili�*el in that correction scotland game? we know in that correction scotland game? know ejectors. this meant so much talk about— know ejectors. this meant so much talk about him and him playing. i
