quite a lot of cloud and some rain and some of the quite heavy at times across parts of scotland and north—west england and wales. behind it, somewhat brighter conditions into northern ireland. ahead of it, thatis into northern ireland. ahead of it, that is where we had the best of the sunshine. that weather front will continue to gradually drift south and east throughout the night, a weak affair by then, a blanket of cloud. that will keep it mild. clearer skies allow the temperatures to fall into single figures in scotland with those of 8 degrees. tomorrow, still that nuisance front, stilljust tomorrow, still that nuisance front, still just a tomorrow, still that nuisance front, stilljust a band of cloud but this area of low pressure will bring stronger winds and sharp showers as we go through the day. so it will be a dry start into much of scotland and eastern england. quite a lot of cloud in central and southern areas but hopefully the sunshine should brighten up into the south—east as we go through the day and there are those blustery showers into western scotland and northern ireland. temperature 16—18 in the north, highest values in the south—east of

24 highest values in the south—east of 2a celsius. friday, the lower is still with us, still producing the risk of some showers but generally speaking should be a today, some sunshine coming through and highs of 22 celsius. as we head into the weekend, saturday could be a tricky one, a bit of a mess particularly out to the west as we could see some showery outbreaks of rain. keep your eye on that. sunday looks better, drier with some sunshine and again, highs of 22. george. many thanks, louise. a reminder of our top story... 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.

hello, i'm olly foster. here's what's coming up on sportsday. no turning back now — lionel messi outlines his ambition at paris saint—germain, but can the club justify the mega—wages for a 30—something mega—star? chelsea signed off last season as european champions. tonight, they are in belfast looking to win the super cup. problems for england ahead of the second test against india at lord's. there will be changes tomorrow. also coming up in the programme — charlotte worthington shows off her olympic gold and talks us through that bmx back—flip.

good evening. after that tearful farewell in barcelona, lionel messi's time in paris is officially under way. he's addressed the media and had his photo—opportunity on the parc des princes pitch. a new chapter begins for arguably the greatest player of all time. let's cross live to paris and speak to our senior sports news reporter laura scott. still feels a bit strange, this. what kind of reception did he get? he got a reception like he was a club legend at psg. thousands of fans came out to greet him outside the parc des princes today. fans setting off layers and some of them even knocking over various soaking where they to get a glimpse of the club's new star shining and the club shop was also incredibly busy, many fans wanting to have messi's names

on their back, by the new club sure even though it cost 115 euros. in their press conference we heard for messi this is a new moment in his life chemist that he was very happy to be at psg life chemist that he was very happy to be at ps6 but as you say a far cry from the scenes we saw on sunday when he gave that very emotional press conference at barcelona as he waved goodbye to his boyhood club. he seems to have settled in very quickly indeed at psg. he seems to have settled in very quickly indeed at ps6. i saw him playing on the pitch with his sons. he looks to be making himself at home, but it's clearly been a difficult week. he says one of ups and downs, not an easy time for him. and here is what he had to say about the transition notjust for him but his family as well. translation: it was all the opposite- — translation: it was all the opposite- it _ translation: it was all the opposite. it was _ translation: it was all the opposite. it was hard - translation: it was all the opposite. it was hard to - translation: it was all the | opposite. it was hard to sleep, translation: it was all the - opposite. it was hard to sleep, it was hard — opposite. it was hard to sleep, it was hard to— opposite. it was hard to sleep, it was hard to rest. these past days, i was hard to rest. these past days, i was anxious— was hard to rest. these past days, i was anxious about the uncertainty about— was anxious about the uncertainty about what was going to happen after the club _ about what was going to happen after the club told us. we did not know

big signings this summer like wijnaldum and sergio ramos and the high—profile keeper as well. not the only one that psg are bringing in and of course it has raised questions about how psg can afford this world—class squad, all within ffp guidelines, that is financial fairplay rules. i asked this exact question of the club president earlier and this is what he had to say on the matter. before we do anything basically, we look before we do anything basically, we took at _ before we do anything basically, we took at it— before we do anything basically, we took at it with — before we do anything basically, we look at it with our _ before we do anything basically, we look at it with our current _ before we do anything basically, we look at it with our current people, l look at it with our current people, our finance — look at it with our current people, our finance people _ look at it with our current people, our finance people in _ look at it with our current people, ourfinance people in our- look at it with our current people, our finance people in our little - our finance people in our little people — our finance people in our little people. as _ our finance people in our little people. as soon _ our finance people in our little people. as soon as _ our finance people in our little people. as soon as we - our finance people in our little| people. as soon as we thought our finance people in our little - people. as soon as we thought messi could sign— people. as soon as we thought messi could sign with — people. as soon as we thought messi could sign with us, _ people. as soon as we thought messi could sign with us, we _ people. as soon as we thought messi could sign with us, we talked - people. as soon as we thought messi could sign with us, we talked about l could sign with us, we talked about how we _ could sign with us, we talked about how we can — could sign with us, we talked about how we can sign— could sign with us, we talked about how we can sign them. _ could sign with us, we talked about how we can sign them. if— could sign with us, we talked about how we can sign them. if not, - could sign with us, we talked about how we can sign them. if not, we l how we can sign them. if not, we were not— how we can sign them. if not, we were not signed _ how we can sign them. if not, we were not signed we _ how we can sign them. if not, we were not signed we would - how we can sign them. if not, we were not signed we would not. how we can sign them. if not, we - were not signed we would not promise of anything _ were not signed we would not promise of anything if— were not signed we would not promise of anything if we — were not signed we would not promise of anything if we knew— were not signed we would not promise of anything if we knew we _ were not signed we would not promise of anything if we knew we could - were not signed we would not promise of anything if we knew we could not i of anything if we knew we could not sign hint _ of anything if we knew we could not sign hint so— of anything if we knew we could not sign hint so i— of anything if we knew we could not sign him. so i think— of anything if we knew we could not sign him. so i think as— of anything if we knew we could not sign him. so i think as you - of anything if we knew we could not sign him. so i think as you can- of anything if we knew we could not sign him. so i think as you can see, what _ sign him. so i think as you can see, what he _ sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is _ sign him. so i think as you can see, what he isa— sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is a bring _ sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is a bring to— sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is a bring to the _ sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is a bring to the club- sign him. so i think as you can see, what he is a bring to the club is- what he is a bring to the club is huge _ what he is a bring to the club is huge and — what he is a bring to the club is huge and i_ what he is a bring to the club is huge and i also _ what he is a bring to the club is huge and i also think— what he is a bring to the club is huge and i also think what - what he is a bring to the club is huge and i also think what you i what he is a bring to the club is. huge and i also think what you as media _ huge and i also think what you as media need — huge and i also think what you as media need also— huge and i also think what you as media need also to _ huge and i also think what you as media need also to focus - huge and i also think what you as media need also to focus on - huge and i also think what you as media need also to focus on is i huge and i also think what you asl media need also to focus on is not 'ust media need also to focus on is not just on— media need also to focus on is not

the ballon door six times in a champions league four times and he has 135 trophies with barcelona. of course psg will be hoping that his ability to win trophies, what he can bring to a team he will bring to p56. the bring to a team he will bring to ps6. the champions league was mentioned so many times in the press conference today, especially by the ceo. it is so clear that is the goal for ps6 and they will do absolutely anything in their power to try to achieve that. and the sense is that with messi playing alongside neymar and mbappe, with pochettino in charge, they do think they should be worthy favourites to win that title and of course it's the one that the owners and ended the fans and the players so want to win. and they clearly have the belief that messi if the man to bring that to the club. ,, ., , . ., ., . club. should be exciting to watch was u- club. should be exciting to watch was up laura _ club. should be exciting to watch was up laura scott, _ club. should be exciting to watch was up laura scott, many - club. should be exciting to watch was up laura scott, many things| club. should be exciting to watch - was up laura scott, many things and i think he will still a few shirts on the way as well. many thanks. paris saint—germain fans will, of course, think they know all about lionel messi from his trophy—laden

career at barcelona, but getting him on that path to greatness from the streets of his home city in argentina was far from straight—forward. patrick gearey reports. rosario, santa fe, argentina and the unassuming home of genius. you can still find light on messi's market but the indelible impression he left in this place was the way he played football. translation: ,., , translation: he did the same things at 12 ears translation: he did the same things at 12 years of — translation: he did the same things at 12 years of age _ translation: he did the same things at 12 years of age as _ translation: he did the same things at 12 years of age as he _ translation: he did the same things at 12 years of age as he does _ translation: he did the same things at 12 years of age as he does today. i at 12 years of age as he does today. in a different setting and in different stadiums, but he was a guy with the same. he absorbed everything you threw his way. i have got goose bumps. he was the real deal. ~ . ~ , , got goose bumps. he was the real deal. . . ~,, got goose bumps. he was the real deal. ., ~,, deal. what messi was developing ra - idl is deal. what messi was developing rapidly is a _ deal. what messi was developing rapidly is a player. _ deal. what messi was developing rapidly is a player, his _ deal. what messi was developing rapidly is a player, his body - deal. what messi was developing rapidly is a player, his body was. rapidly is a player, his body was not getting paid. he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency at age 10% from 12pm and ejecting himself every night. he age 10% from 12pm and e'ecting himself every nighth age 10% from 12pm and e'ecting himself every night. he needed to crow himself every night. he needed to grow normally- — himself every night. he needed to grow normally. if _ himself every night. he needed to grow normally. if he _ himself every night. he needed to grow normally. if he did _ himself every night. he needed to grow normally. if he did not - himself every night. he needed to grow normally. if he did not have | grow normally. if he did not have the growth — grow normally. if he did not have the growth hormone or have enough growth _ the growth hormone or have enough growth hormone, you will not grow

some of the guys may be within we need to have a scenario in our heads who enters the match for us and who is better to come onto the pitch and who can have a good influence from coming on the bench was of this will be the challenge for today and the most important not to get lost in all these thoughts because it is a competitive match, like i said, and is not only about sharing minutes, it is about the first title that we want to win. could be a super start to the season for the super cup. stephen warnock is on duty with 5live this evening, where you can listen to commentray of the game. chelsea should be too strong for villarreal, but many thought that about manchester united going into the europa league final. look at the two teams and look at chelsea who met an exceptional into the season with thomas tuchel when he came in and very often finished second in domestic league probably not a strong but do not emery as

arsenalfans did not not a strong but do not emery as arsenal fans did not see the best of him tactically is very good and did an exceptionaljob at villarreal but you would think they would be too much for them. unai emery, the villarreal boss, says he hopes chelsea misfire because they are still missing a few of their international stars after the euros. thomas tuchel has a tough job tonight because he is a game on sunday and had a you manage the players and do you try to win the game in the first 50 minutes and make changes or is this a competition that he dismisses little bit. what you want to do if you want to give the players confidence going into the start of the season, winning a trophy, and that is what he will bejudged winning a trophy, and that is what he will be judged on as well. that he will be 'udged on as well. that is what he will be judged on as well. that is what he — he will be judged on as well. that is what he was _ he will be judged on as well. that is what he was saying because of this is a competitive match or could be a great springboard for the season. you were in the liverpool squad that won the 2005 super cup, beating cska. how did you view it then? it is always run the start of the season
