6:56 pm
proceedings have been opened against him for preaching doping controls in tokyo. a quick update from the lord says welcome at the first day of the second test, it looks like england have just got a third wicket, it has been a very difficult day for england but it looks likejoe ruta has held onto a catch and the captain is out for india. india 260-3. so captain is out for india. india 260—3. so a late wicket for england on day one of the second test. but thatisit on day one of the second test. but that is it for sportsday. goodbye for now. hello there. low pressure has continued to bring winter conditions for scotland and northern ireland and we have had quite a bit of a cloud across southern england but that has broken down for wheat sunshine through the
6:57 pm
evening and that area continues to pass the north of scotland bringing further windy weather here and for the showers particularly western scotland into parts of northern ireland and heavy showers. further south clear skies and a bit of cloud here and there, one or two showers perhaps when a breezy day to come across the board windy in the north—west, and these are wind speeds gusts of up to 30 or a0 mph in exposure a fairly mild night to come and certainly across the north of the uk than what we had previously. friday we have that low—pressure system to the north of the uk. higher pressure further south so we will see a north—south divide through the day. a breezy day across the board but windy for scotland in particular with showers piling in but western areas, best of sunshine will be to the east for northern ireland and england and wales a dry bright day with sun and a brighter day in the south compared to thursday. temperatures respond up
6:58 pm
to thursday. temperatures respond up to 23 or 2a. the weekend looks mixed with low—pressure working in from the atlantic and does not look like it will get very far eastwards and also it looks like it will weaken through the weekend. there is some uncertainty to the amount of rain we will see from this weather front which will push across the irish sea area but at the moment it looks like it is more central parts of the country which could see splashes of rain and perhaps to the south and north of that, it should stay dry with sunny spells. 22, 23 in the south given some sunshine high teens in the north and for sunday the weather front spreads eastwards but it is a weakening feature so we will see variable cloud through sunday. we could see showers and rain for northern scotland and northern england and southern scotland and a few showers for southern england is wealth through the day in between some principles of sunshine. the details of this could change so stay tuned to the faux press but in the
6:59 pm
south,... eastern parts of the uk into the start of the new week, and generally i think you should see fine weather with some sunshine but feeling cool.
