still got to 18 in the south-east we still got to 18 in the south—east of england. clouds thickening across the north west and we have some rain heading its way into northern ireland and across western scotland. you can see that here on the radar picture. that will be pushing eastwards, so turning wet across the isle of man, northern england, probably some splashes into northern wales for a time. that clears out of the way leaving rain in the north west of scotland overnight. otherwise it is dry with temperatures up to ii otherwise it is dry with temperatures up to 11 degrees so quite a mild night as well. tomorrow, most will start with early morning sunshine but the one exception is across scotland where an area of low pressure will be spreading rain, particularly to northern and western areas through the day. generally across the northern half of the uk, we will have some brisk westerly winds with gusts up to a0 mph and that will knock the edge off temperatures in northern areas. the winds are light a further south, so in the sunshine

temperatures will be warmer. take a look at the weather charts into the weekend now, and on saturday for most of us it is looking like a decent start. dry with some sunshine and we will keep the sunny spells for most areas pretty much all day. in the sunshine getting warmer for scotland and northern ireland given the brighter conditions, and again the brighter conditions, and again the highest temperatures across england where we will see highs in the low 20s. we might start to see thunderstorms moving up from the south. on saturday night they might not have much rain in them but they could have lots of lightning. heading into monday, the shower is getting that bit heavier. chris, thank you. 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 and welcome to sportsday.

coming up on tonight's programme, local pride in the race for champions league football both at stake in tonight's north london derby as tottenham take on arsenal. england have a new men's test coach as new zealander brendon mccullum takes charge in time to face his home nation. fin takes charge in time to face his home nation.— takes charge in time to face his home nation. �* . :: , ., , home nation. an hundred and 40 years of test cricketers _ home nation. an hundred and 40 years of test cricketers got _ home nation. an hundred and 40 years of test cricketers got to _ home nation. an hundred and 40 years of test cricketers got to be _ home nation. an hundred and 40 years of test cricketers got to be most - of test cricketers got to be most exciting thing looking ahead is that england have done in terms of appointments. it’s england have done in terms of appointments.— england have done in terms of appointments. it's been a day of announcements. _ appointments. it's been a day of announcements. world - appointments. it's been a day of announcements. world rugby. appointments. it's been a day of- announcements. world rugby reveals the country is to be hosting for future world cups. we will bring you details.

well come along. we start with the north london derby which could decide who plays in the champions league next season. if arsenal when they are guaranteed a finish, and tottenham currently in fish cannot afford to lose, for them it would close the gap for arsenal. this is the i9ist north london derby and there has never been one this close to the end of the season with so much at stake for both clubs. getting back into the champions league is vital, reaching the final was worth £90 million for tottenham. it would surely help them hold onto the england captain, harry kane this summer, and for antonio conte, who

has only a year to run on his contract. mikel arteta signed a new deal this week, enabled them to bring in players they want to help and improve in the next transfer window. of course this match was supposed to take place back in january, but it was postponed at arsenal's request because of covert, and what they didn't break any rules, many thought they were stretching to the limit, because the vast number of their absentees were due to injury, suspension or international duty. that is how we have ended up with a match with such huge consequences for this close to the end of the season. both managers fully understand its importance. it is clear that if we win against them then i don't and we need any more motivation, the opportunity is there, we are going to play and go for it like we always do, is how we have come into this position, and that's how we're going to approach

the most important thing that we are playing in this game for an important target, and that is a place in the champions league. has to be the first thing that we try to win the _ to be the first thing that we try to win the game. to be the first thing that we try to win the game-— to be the first thing that we try to win the ame, . ., ., , , . win the game. what an item prospect. for the arsenal— win the game. what an item prospect. for the arsenal fans _ win the game. what an item prospect. for the arsenal fans this _ win the game. what an item prospect. for the arsenal fans this is _ win the game. what an item prospect. for the arsenal fans this is their - for the arsenal fans this is their first visit to this new stadium. covid means they have not been able to attend since it opened in 2019, just to remind you of the permutations, they know that if their team wins tonight, arsenal qualify for the champions league, tottenham have to settle for the roper league. tottenham, they have to draw, but no reality, they really need to win this game in their last two fixtures at home to burnley and away to norwich, and hope that arsenal slip up either way to newcastle or at home to everton on the final day.

kick off a little over an hour away, we spoke to former arsenal player. when they played with arsenal and paris last week to month, did you see this coming, to be in this position to qualify for the charity as they beat spurs no, i think it's as they beat spurs no, i think it's a real sticky patch for arsenal, also to compound that, tottenham are in such good form, it's a real swing of who had the pound in terms of the race for that spot in the champions league football, but that is turned around recently, a massive rain away from chelsea arsenal, and oec it would happen if they win. if not then scared to make the big calls, many players gone, but if you made of how you is changing is arsenal?

you're right, they are big calls. it is difficult to make, because of the sewage been so successful that for the club previously under mikel arteta, so it's a tough call from him, so as a group arsenal look to be more together than ever. i think they have more of a bomb, there is spirit in the group that is good, watch them away at west ham recently, they really set up the challenge, and they will have to stand up to a challenges healing. it's going to be a tough game against a it's going to be a tough game againsta rampant it's going to be a tough game against a rampant tottenham team who are one of the best in the business, so i think it's a real challenge. i know you be happy to give arsenal a night, that's look at tottenham, though. talk about arteta changing things, conte has also done that experience. things, conte has also done that exnerience-_ experience. antonio conte has coaches formation, _ experience. antonio conte has coaches formation, he's - experience. antonio conte has coaches formation, he's had . experience. antonio conte has - coaches formation, he's had success at the back three, he soon realised

men's test, taking charge of the first test against new zealand at lord's in the beginning ofjune. he succeeds chris silverwood who left his position in february following the heavy ashes defeat in australia. ben stokes captaining the team, he likes to have a crack, and brendon mccullum, what's going on, folks? a red bow, not a whiteboard decision. i think it's extraordinary, and i hope all goes well. at the moment, it's tantalising, it's exciting, and english fans should be relishing what could come of this, with stokes in charge, an hundred and a0 is in test cricket has been most exciting thing, looking ahead, that england have done. two of the most dynamic, inspirational people in charge, and it's got to make a difference. i am

really looking forward to staying up late at night down under to watch all of this unfold. i really reckon it's one of the best things, potentially, that has ever happened in english cricket. tim potentially, that has ever happened in english cricket.— in english cricket. tim maxwell stickin: in english cricket. tim maxwell sticking to _ in english cricket. tim maxwell sticking to the _ in english cricket. tim maxwell sticking to the stumped - in english cricket. tim maxwell. sticking to the stumped podcast. here's our cricket reporter. you heard whatjim axel had to say, how excited are you about this appointment? i excited are you about this appointment?— excited are you about this a- ointment? ~ �*, . , appointment? i think it's really excitina , appointment? i think it's really exciting. a _ appointment? i think it's really exciting, a real— appointment? i think it's really exciting, a real buzz _ appointment? i think it's really exciting, a real buzz around . appointment? i think it's really| exciting, a real buzz around the match, middlesex against notts, but all the conversation has been about the test coach, certainly a bit of expectation on his name is mentioned, given his exploits as a coach of the indian premier league and as a player, brendon mccullum started the shift in england as

previously, but his someone who builds a culture of positivity, and alongside ben stokes i think there's alongside ben stokes i think there's a possibility of an exciting england side that will play the freeze that gave me such success in white ball cricket. it is two very different games, but it is an appointment has dynamism and excitement.- games, but it is an appointment has dynamism and excitement. stokes and mccollum will — dynamism and excitement. stokes and mccollum will be _ dynamism and excitement. stokes and mccollum will be fascinating _ dynamism and excitement. stokes and mccollum will be fascinating to - dynamism and excitement. stokes and mccollum will be fascinating to see. i the former world darts champion ted hankey has been jailed today for two years for sexual assault. hankey, nicknamed the count, won the bdo world title in 2000 and 2009. he was sentenced at chester crown court today, having pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to the attack last year. as well as being given two years in prison, he was ordered to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.

we'll move on to rugby union, where england have been confirmed as host of the 2025 women's world cup. australia will host the men's and women's tournaments in 2027, and 2029, before the competition is the first time to the united states. all that was decided at a meeting of the world rugby council in dublin earlier. our reporter was there. there weren't too many surprises in dublin here today. however, the world cup in 2025, it's ambitious. the last time house of the 2010. that's when the final was held at the cuiken soup, hold on to 2025, it will be nationwide, so that at twickenham, 82,006, on top of that there are hopes that rugby union will be to generate millions of pounds with the uk economy. it was

are behind the olympics and the men's football world cup. there is plenty of rumours about her bigger scale tournaments it could be. that includes large stadiums, maybe even the number of teams that can compete. it represents a chance rugby union to break into the already congested american sports market. perhaps not a question of if america needs rugby union, but how much rope union wants america. as you hearing there, america, venue for the men's competition in 2031 in the women's in 2033, a major departed for the sport, part of the world there where always managed struggled to make a mark. {line world there where always managed struggled to make a mark.- world there where always managed struggled to make a mark. one of the benefits of having _ struggled to make a mark. one of the benefits of having the _ struggled to make a mark. one of the benefits of having the pinnacle - benefits of having the pinnacle event at us is services to north star and the alignment function for all the stakeholders and constituencies in the american rugby

landscape, and the sporting little landscape, and the sporting little landscape in general, you look at some of the people that come forward one to engage with the rugby world cup, and it's an impressive list, so i think for us there's a few different aspects, there is a mystery the performance aspect of hopefully competing in the quarterfinals and beyond and rugby world cups. there is the commercial aspect, all business elements of the sport, and ultimately that is all driven by anticipation growing the game, so having those things work in tandem with one another is really important. tandem with one another is really im ortant. ~ ., tandem with one another is really im ortant. ~ . . tandem with one another is really imortant. ~ . . ., , important. what are your thoughts about venues? _ important. what are your thoughts about venues? we _ important. what are your thoughts about venues? we know _ important. what are your thoughts about venues? we know nfl - important. what are your thoughts about venues? we know nfl and l important. what are your thoughts - about venues? we know nfl and major lee in remic soccer teams are having much of. it’s lee in remic soccer teams are having much of. �* , ., . much of. it's one thing we have in sades, much of. it's one thing we have in spades, massive _ much of. it's one thing we have in spades, massive infrastructure, i much of. it's one thing we have in| spades, massive infrastructure, so there will be many stadiums, nfl and major league soccer or baseball, stadiums to put their hand up and really want to play a part in this.

you've obviously got nfl, which is hugein you've obviously got nfl, which is huge in the us. you talked about his ability, it is having the rugby world cup in the united states get more people playing it? the world cup in the united states get more people playing it?— world cup in the united states get more people playing it? the key to the question _ more people playing it? the key to the question really _ more people playing it? the key to the question really is, _ more people playing it? the key to the question really is, what - more people playing it? the key to the question really is, what is - more people playing it? the key to the question really is, what is the i the question really is, what is the pathway look like? what is the structure look like to grow a sustainable sport here in the us? that has reach and scale, domestically, and a lot of that has to do with the top end and putting on massive global events. it's partly to do with the professional league, but it's also to do with, what is a pathway look like for the ten year to become a high school rugby player to become collegiate rugby player to become collegiate rugby player, and then hopefully a fan for life at that point, so that sort of, i think, the ecosystem, that will have to be kind of reinforced every step of the way. that's how things could be changing in rugby. now this news that could

change the way we watch sport on television here in the uk, a merger has been announced between the channels bt sport and eurosport. that is after the deal was struck with the parent companies, bt... the with the parent companies, bt. .. the sort of with the parent companies, bt... t"ie: sort of significance of with the parent companies, bt... t"i2 sort of significance of the with the parent companies, bt... “"ti2 sort of significance of the deal cannot be underestimated. discovery and one the media, they are a recent merger, created a new tightening media, and now moving into the uk market, discovery have a presence are already through the streaming platform, but they were taken out, and eurosport, but taking over the bt sport broadcast as well gives them access to premier league rights, which will make the next round of billing for the premier league extremely interesting, because obviously the resources are there to take on the incumbent,

which is sky, many of tragedy that in the past, but as i say, this could be really can significantly and in that regard. the growth of growth of popularity of women in sporty women's sports, there is opportunity is there, to drive media value for those sports and give those footprints and present that they deserve. those footprints and present that they deserve-— they deserve. what price is this auoin to they deserve. what price is this going to come _ they deserve. what price is this going to come back? _ they deserve. what price is this going to come back? you - they deserve. what price is this going to come back? you could | they deserve. what price is this - going to come back? you could see premier league football, olympics, tennis, cycling grand tours, premiership rugby all in one outlet, sounds like a good thing. any idea what they were planning terms of the cost? in what they were planning terms of the cost? , ., _,, , ~ cost? in terms of costs, i think we are too early _ cost? in terms of costs, i think we are too early at — cost? in terms of costs, i think we are too early at this _ cost? in terms of costs, i think we are too early at this stage. - cost? in terms of costs, i think we are too early at this stage. bt- are too early at this stage. bt sport already has a very strong subscriber base, so i think from their point of view it would be a case of maintaining that, enhancing that, in the way they will do that is through content. obviously the

more they pay for content, they will look to recoup cost in some form of fashion, i think in the short term it will be about establishing the brand, establishing a brand presence, and in order to do that i can imagine that costs will be, in terms of the cost of fans, will be managed and there won't be a significant increase at this stage. what does it mean for other broadcasters and streaming services, do you think?— do you think? obviously now that there's two _ do you think? obviously now that there's two massive _ do you think? obviously now that there's two massive players - do you think? obviously now that there's two massive players in i do you think? obviously now that l there's two massive players in the room, sky sports have obviously been bought by comcast, now bt sport are owned by warner media discovery, so from that point of view, you've got to really significant organisations that have significant resources, so the danger for certain other broadcasters is that they will be squeezed out. odyssey channel a and

the bbc offered free to air services, so their footprint there is quite different, but from pay tv in the streaming service, i think you've cornered between the two companies, they've cornered the market, and made any sort of other entry into the market almost impossible at this stage. staying with other sporting _ impossible at this stage. staying with other sporting landscape . impossible at this stage. staying with other sporting landscape is| with other sporting landscape is changing, and na is one of the fastest growing sports in recent years. tomorrow night, britain's michael venom page is going to ballater and london. michael venom page is going to ballaterand london. he michael venom page is going to ballater and london. he has been speaking to rachel. i am ballater and london. he has been speaking to rachel.— ballater and london. he has been speaking to rachel. i am the one and onl mvp, speaking to rachel. i am the one and only mvp. i — speaking to rachel. i am the one and only mvp. i am _ speaking to rachel. i am the one and only mvp, i am since _ speaking to rachel. i am the one and only mvp, i am since the _ speaking to rachel. i am the one and only mvp, i am since the age - speaking to rachel. i am the one and
