at the moment and moment and it is not at the moment and it is not lookin too bad moment and it is not looking too bad today there were some big showers clouds across scotland and elsewhere. i'm hopeful there won't be as many as those as we head into the long weekend. now this afternoon a real rash of showers across many parts of the uk, some heavy and thundery, some sunshine in between and some of the showers will continue tonight. we will see a band of more persistent rain on the western isles and northern ireland. it will turn chilly for some overnight. parts of eastern scotland may get close to freezing. tomorrow, it is another sunshine and showers day. some of the showers through the day. some of the showers through the day will be heavy and possibly with some thunder. more rain in northern ireland, but by the afternoon parts of wales, the south—west of england, should see fewer showers. more in the way of dry weather. spells of
6:31 pm
sunshine. and that will lift the temperatures, 17 in cardiff. temperatures still below par for the time of year. into wednesday, yes, still some showers in the forecast. again some heavy thundery ones. but these western areas seeing more dry weather and more sunshine and temperatures nudging up a little. that is a sign of things to come. as we led into the long weekend, we have this area of high pressure that means plenty of dry weather. but one little feature pushing in from the north could introduce some showers and this low to the south again brings the threat of one or two be showers. particularly in southern parts as we head through into sunday. but to sum up it will be often be dry through the weekend. spells of sunshine, but the chance of showers and a bit of uncertainty how many there will be. that's all from the bbc news at six.

6:33 pm
sends one of the tournament favourites packing. hello and welcome to the programne. the final might have been on saturday night but the fallout from european football's showpiece event shows no sign of slowing down. on one side, the french authorities are putting the chaotic scenes which delayed kick—off down to what they call ticket fraud on an industrial scale but liverpool fans, who were peppe" scale but liverpool fans, who were pepper sprayed entity are pepper sprayed and tear —— pepper sprayed and tear gassed... of but developments today. french media are saying it was a fiasco in the same way the british media have
6:34 pm
been calling it a fiasco and raising the same questions about the fitness of paris, france, to run big events like the rugby world cup and the olympic games. and there's a degree of scepticism, as welcome on the of a french media towards the official version of government about what happened. the french government was saying from the start it was down to an excessive number of liverpool fans arriving late at the stadium and many without tickets, and delay that was reinforced. there was a meeting, an emergency meeting, run by the government, the stat difference people there, uefa, ministers, —— the stade de france people. and the message came out that yes, there had been mistakes made, there were apologies for the peppe" made, there were apologies for the pepper spraying of innocent liverpool fans and so on, and mistakes had been made, they said, that the directions of liverpool fans towards the stadium, but the preponderance of guilt, they say, responsibility lay with this problem
6:35 pm
of full sticky think of the thousands of tickets they said had been produced and were in the hands of liverpool fans were expecting to get in and couldn't. —— the problems of false ticketing. emily uday ostia, the french sports minister. the first element, the root cause of all that, was the volume of false tickets or persons without any tickets. we know there were a number of adverse circumstances that made the problem even harsher: late arrival around the stadium, difficulties in the transportation, difficulties also to locate the british people that were everywhere around the stadium, without us being able to know where exactly they came from and how they arrived at the stadium. so so that's the french sports minister there. in so that's the french sports minister there. , ., , , . , there. in terms of the public feels about this, _ there. in terms of the public feels about this, what's _ there. in terms of the public feels about this, what's the _ there. in terms of the public feels about this, what's the sense - there. in terms of the public feels about this, what's the sense on i there. in terms of the public feels. about this, what's the sense on the ground from where you are, given this as a venue that hosts big

6:37 pm
perception in france that british fans are problematic. so there is a feeling, i would say a widespread feeling, i would say a widespread feeling, that may be the english are being unfairly treated in all of this. ., , , .,~ being unfairly treated in all of this. ., ,, .,~ ., being unfairly treated in all of this. ., ,, ., ., �*, this. good to speak to you. that's the view from _ this. good to speak to you. that's the view from france _ this. good to speak to you. that's the view from france there, - this. good to speak to you. that's the view from france there, from | the view from france there, from here. but how our fans back home feeling now after what's been a dramatic 48 hours for them? let's stick to our correspondent at anfield. good to see you. in terms of who you have spoken to today, what have experiences been of fans arriving back home? i willi what have experiences been of fans arriving back home?— arriving back home? i will start with liverpool, _ arriving back home? i will start with liverpool, who _ arriving back home? i will start with liverpool, who naturally i arriving back home? i will start i with liverpool, who naturally have condemned the actions of french police toward some fans that travelled to paris on saturday. they've asked uefa to conduct a full and thorough review into what happened. and liverpool want to play their part because about an hour ago they asked via social media for fans to fill in the feedback form detailing their experiences inside and outside the stadium. they want to get a full picture of exactly what happened. as you mention, i
6:38 pm
have been speaking to fans all day, including one family in particular, thejudges, louise and her son oliver, who actually got tickets through the club so their tickets were official. they said that after the chaos outside the stadium, they managed to enter without a single person checking their tickets. they say that the only time the tickets were checked was when they actually showed it to a steward inside and asked where their seats were. they also mentioned that because of their experiences, it's very unlikely they will travel abroad to watch liverpool again, especially the parents. here's what they have been saying. it's absolute nonsense, what she's saying _ it's absolute nonsense, what she's saying there, it'sjust not true. i saying there, it'sjust not true. don't know saying there, it'sjust not true. i don't know how they can use that statement, — don't know how they can use that statement, when _ don't know how they can use that statement, when is _ don't know how they can use that statement, when is not _ don't know how they can use that statement, when is not showed l don't know how they can use that. statement, when is not showed your genuine _ statement, when is not showed your genuine ticket, — statement, when is not showed your genuine ticket, how— statement, when is not showed your genuine ticket, how would _ statement, when is not showed your genuine ticket, how would they- statement, when is not showed your genuine ticket, how would they everi genuine ticket, how would they ever know _ genuine ticket, how would they ever know which— genuine ticket, how would they ever know which ones _ genuine ticket, how would they ever know which ones were _ genuine ticket, how would they ever know which ones were genuine - genuine ticket, how would they ever know which ones were genuine and. know which ones were genuine and which _ know which ones were genuine and which ones — know which ones were genuine and which ones were _ know which ones were genuine and which ones were fake, _ know which ones were genuine and which ones were fake, if— know which ones were genuine and which ones were fake, if people . know which ones were genuine and which ones were fake, if people ini which ones were fake, if people in section— which ones were fake, if people in section b — which ones were fake, if people in

the government received legal assurances that roman abramovich, who has had its uk assets frozen, would not benefit. the club was put up for sale in march following sanctions on him over his links to russian president vladimir putin. we just hope these american owners, they passed the fit and proper owners test, that they prove to be good owners, they're an exceptional team and the club can move forward with a little bit more security. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making headlines today. the football league chief executive trevor birch has sent an open letter to fans — warning of ground closures if pitch invasions continue. this after a spate of incidents across the league this season. boston celtics are into the nba finals. jayson tatum lead his side to their first final since 2010,
6:46 pm
as they held off a determined miami heat for a 100—96 game—seven win. they will face the golden state warriors. emma raducanu has decided to play an extra grass court event — her first tournament on british soil since winning the us open. staying with tennis, we're into the latter stages of the french open now, and while no british interest in the singles, there is much to keep the eye on — especially in the men's side of the draw, where fourth seed, and one of the favourites stefanos tsitsipas crashed out to a danish teenager. stefa nos stefanos tsitsipas hasn't exactly been streets ahead in paris this year and now there's something special on the horizon. well, someone special. his 19—year—old holger rune from denmark and he can play. so much so, it was starting to get to last year's finalist that the dane carried on and with this, took the opening set. this was the first time they had played each other.
6:47 pm
eventually stefano tsitsipas started to work things out and made his way into levelling the match. but then he started to get sloppy, west holger rune was starting to believe. another error from the greek player, he had no reason not to, with a 2—1 set lead. that gave him his confidence back. and when stefanos tsitsipas went long here, he done it. the first danish man to reach the last eight since 1925, a name to remember. iga swiatek has won 31 matches in a row and is the favourite to take the title in the woman's tournament. she did lose a set but has recovered to win the second 6—0. it was a victory against the odds for celtic�*s women who are testing a cup double this weekend, their
6:48 pm
victory over glasgow city adding to their league cup victory earlier in their league cup victory earlier in the season. i slept in natasha who told me it could do wonders from the popular out of women's football in scotland —— i spoke to natasha. one player hit 40 goes for the season on sunday. and, yes, celtic can cut themselves pretty harshly, they saw someone set off and conceded a penaltyjust before the first half, but they never stop and the girls kept up a really dominating performance in the second half despite being down a player, to take the game to extra time for supperjust when it looked like it was heading to penalties, substitute izzy atkinson grabbed what looked to be the winning goal of the game and the trophy headed back to celtic park. we need to build on this and continue to grow the game in scotland. we have seen what can be achieved in other countries. you just have to look at england and even spain, where the barcelona
6:49 pm
women's team having higher tendencies than the men's game in some cases. so that has to be the 90, some cases. so that has to be the go, to continue to grow attendance, and we can only do that with fans and we can only do that with fans and support. we saw how important the support of fans was to the players on the pitch. and they set themselves on having the crowd support of the team acted as the 11th person when celtic went down to ten. so i would encourage fans of all clubs in scotland is to get out and support their local women's team next season, and continue to help us try and grow the game here. it was double delight for olympic champion jack laugher this weekend, as he celebrated winning two titles at the british diving championships. the 27—year—old first scored 459.05 points to take gold in the men's 1m springboard, tell me he is in a great place to
