dry m weather, not a bad start to jul . weather, not a bad start to july. gorgeous in padstow, cornwall. there have been isolated showers popping up, in wales, southern england and there are some of those shower clouds starting to bubble up around hampshire area. further downpours over the next hour or two in abda. in the atlantic, this cloud here is an area of low pressure and that will be flinging bands of rain our way in time for the weekend, so the weather will be turning unsettled by then. at the moment it is relatively quiet and overnight, most will have a quiet and dry night. more cloud developing and if you mist patches. mild to most, 12 to 14 degrees widely but cold for northern scotland and north—east england. tomorrow, cloud will take time to thin and bright, mist patches lifting quickly. spells of sunshine coming through and there will be showers. a bit more widespread and
6:31 pm
will focus across eastern areas of england and thundery ones in the afternoon. it will feel warmer in the sunshine, temperatures between 20 and 23 celsius. however, into the weekend the area of low pressure will be bringing rain and widespread showers. first the rain on saturday, that moves northwards across england and wales and which in scotland and northern ireland later in the day. showers follow and for many though showers will move through the dry spells in between, but those showers across south—west england, thanks to this convergence zone could be long—lived as well as being heavy. we might see some local surface water flooding from those. temperature is not quite as high on saturday, about 21 degrees. and sunday will stay very showery as well. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

cavendish, who wins another stage on the tour de france, edging in closer to the all—time record. welcome to the programme and thank you forjoining us live here on day four at wimbledon, where thankfully, we've had two days where the rain has stayed away, and that has meant play has continued across the outside courts as well as on the show courts here. after last night's nailbiter with andy murray against 0scar is there more drama to come this evening. the final match scheduled on centre court involves roger federer, the 20 time grand slam champion. we can bring you live
6:34 pm
pictures of what's happening on centre court at the moment. it's all going to plan for roger federer. he is up by two sets. that went to a tie—breaker. gasquet has lost against federer 18 times. he has had grown so injury —— growing surgery two years ago. but this is looking very good for federer at the moment against gasquet. two set up —— groin surgery. federerwould against gasquet. two set up —— groin surgery. federer would seem now in round three is the british number two cam norrie, who had an outstanding win today. won 11 in a row and made it all look very easy. craig templeton reports. if last night was all about marie, this afternoon was time to switch
6:35 pm
the camera on because it was all about norrie. but it was alex bolton went off like a flash, showing dexterity and getting the first break. after that morning, norrie started clicking, playing the kind of tennis that got them to the final at queen's. his development this season has seen with shots like this, he can see why. after losing the first three games, norrie won the first three games, norrie won the next six, and that meant the first set was his. it but it was becoming a mismatch. what was six games in a row became 11. that one was ended by a bolt from the blue. the damage had already been done. murra seeing out the second sets —— murray.

and impose his game. he's very fast. i think because federer is playing well, but he's not playing the way roger federer played when he one those eight titles. i think if he goes, he's going to back himself. andy murray, will will come on to him from the moment. but i want to talk about the match involving cocoa. —— coco. talk about the match involving cocoa. -- coco.— talk about the match involving cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple _ cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple of _ cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple of years. _ cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple of years. she - cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple of years. she was . cocoa. -- coco. she's come a long wait a couple of years. she was a i wait a couple of years. she was a qualifier, so no one knew she was. she was so impressive with her talent and speed and athleticism, but since then, she's won two titles. 0bviously can play on the surface. i think because the women's troy so wide open, with serine out as well, i think what coco is one of the contenders —— with serena out.
6:38 pm
looking at that win, just three top ten players remaining. let's talk about as party, many people putting her as the favour. how impressed have you been with her —— ash barty. i think she's at the top of her game because of her style. she's more than comfortable in the court. she got a huge forehand. but she's not looking completely comfortable because she's had the injury coming in, so she couldn't train quite as much. up a couple more mashes up, but i think she could take the cut title but she's not sharp right now. talking about not quite sharp right now, exceeding expectations, andy murray. let's hearfrom andy now, exceeding expectations, andy murray. let's hear from andy murray because it was an absolute nailbiter last night against 0scar. there was

6:42 pm
fought his way back into the team. when he puts on an england shirt, he never lets england down. for all the critics that say "look how he's performing for his club," as soon as he turns up for his country, he does look absolutely world—class. and didn't he against germany the other night? world—class saves there, and he is so focused in training. we see it every single day. he says he's more mature as a person and improved on the world cup three years ago. he's become a father which he says has helped. that's helped them become a better keeper, and here he is. we thanked on on history all around, and they put that history behind them. this team and jordan pickford are making history because four games play for him, he is on droppable. he's going to play all the way through this tournament as long as england are in it. four clean sheets. the last time england started on major torment that well, the world cup in 1966. but he was
6:43 pm
very quick to give a lot of credit to the squads as a whole. those players in front of them. it's how we came on top. the staff and manager put plans for us to be ready— and manager put plans for us to be ready for— and manager put plans for us to be ready for every hurdle in the game. we need _ ready for every hurdle in the game. we need to— ready for every hurdle in the game. we need to be on our a game, so we have _ we need to be on our a game, so we have a _ we need to be on our a game, so we have a lot _ we need to be on our a game, so we have a lot of— we need to be on our a game, so we have a lot of messages to take in. when _ have a lot of messages to take in. when everyone works together, there's— when everyone works together, there's no— when everyone works together, there's no better feeling. it is a great _ there's no better feeling. it is a great team. it�*s there's no better feeling. it is a great team-— there's no better feeling. it is a treat team. �*, ., , ., great team. it's a different routine caettin on great team. it's a different routine getting on a _ great team. it's a different routine getting on a plane. _ great team. it's a different routine getting on a plane, you _ great team. it's a different routine getting on a plane, you will- great team. it's a different routine getting on a plane, you will miss l getting on a plane, you will miss those hands, won't you? fit getting on a plane, you will miss those hands, won't you? of course. we have to — those hands, won't you? of course. we have to create _ those hands, won't you? of course. we have to create our _ those hands, won't you? of course. we have to create our own - we have to create our own atmosphere. we're capable of doing it, atmosphere. we're capable of doing it. but— atmosphere. we're capable of doing it. but the _ atmosphere. we're capable of doing it, but the fans are tremendous. so, ithink— it, but the fans are tremendous. so, i think that _ it, but the fans are tremendous. so, i think that gives us a motivation for the _ i think that gives us a motivation for the game saturday.
6:44 pm
lots of motivation. you just want them to bottle that atmosphere and take it with them to the study of 0limpico, because i think it'll be a let off a lot. —— stay d0 0limpico. but by the time they fly off to rome tomorrow, they'll have had just two full days —— stadio 0limpico. the mantra throughout the squad we've heard is that unless they get things right on saturday against ukraine, that victory against germany will be worth nothing at all. my word, it is certainly put a spring in their step. when you look at the bedding, because of this incredible defensive record with jordan because of this incredible defensive record withjordan pickford making those flying saves, and that defence looking so solid, england are now clear favourites to win this. but let's not get too carried away and let's not get too carried away and let's get past, let them get past
6:45 pm
ukraine first.— 0lly foster there for us. well, the game on saturday night will be the first time england have played away from wembley at the euros. john watson is in rome for us at the moment. john, what is the mood like in the city ahead of this game? good evening from rome. in the shadow of the vatican behind me. it certainly doesn't feel like a city which is on the cusp of staging a quarterfinal of a major tournament. no football banners, no adverts or flags on the street. driving to the hotel, no fans as well. perhaps understandable and inevitable with the restrictions in place. in the way this tournament is being staged across europe with 11 different hosts. it's very hard to replicate that tournament with matches being staged across the continent. another warning coming from the italian embassy for england fans not to travel, they said anybody who has
