and some outbreaks of rain across eastern and northern england through the morning. it will be gradually turning drier and brighter for the west. we will still keep quite large amounts of cloud through much of england and wales, but more in the bright and sunny spells compared to today. still some showers developing through parts of wales, central, southern and south—west england. we could see a spell of more persistent rain arriving into the far south—west of england and the channel islands through the afternoon. cloudier for northern ireland but mainly dry. the best of the sunshine, once again, across scotland, where we will see some of the highest temperatures. but it should feel warmer across england and wales compared to today. an area of low pressure is still spiralling around in the north sea as we had through monday night and into tuesday, pushing more cloud back along to these eastern coasts of england and scotland. maybe some patchy rain. also, an area of rainjust pushing into the far south of england as well through the early hours of tuesday morning. temperatures typically between seven and 10 celsius. then tuesday actually looks to be a quieter day. with low pressure to the east and west of us, high—pressure to the north and the south, so the winds will be fairly light. there will be quite large amounts

of cloud and probably more cloud across scotland and northern ireland compared to the weekend, particularly for these eastern coasts where we could still pick up if you showers. a few showers may be pushing into northern ireland through the afternoon, and we are expecting some showers to develop across the far south—west of england. but for many, it is mainly dry. we could just get a scattering of showers across england and wales, but in the sunshine certainly feeling warmer than it has done. temperatures up to around 21 or 22 celsius. most of us will see some showers or longer spells of rain midweek as a system works its way from west to east, then we are keeping an eye on this deeper area of low pressure developing through thursday and friday. that could well bring some stronger winds into scotland and northern ireland as well as some heavy rain. so it drier start for many through monday and tuesday, some heavy showers, longer spells of rain on wednesday. further showers to the north and the west through thursday and friday.

hello, this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines... the queen has marked the end of her platinum jubilee celebrations, appearing on the buckingham palace balcony alongside herfamily. in a statement, she says she has been "humbled and deeply touched" and thanked everyone who took part. earlier today, 10,000 people paraded down the mall for a huge platinum pageant, featuring military, dancers, performers and celebrities from each decade of the queen's reign. tens of thousands of street parties also took

place across the uk — with sometimes wet and windy weather not getting in the way. in bangladesh — an explosion and fire at a storage depot kills at least 49 people and injures hundreds more. russian missiles strike the ukrainian capital of kyiv for the first time in more than a month. and more travel disruption in the uk — as flight cancellations affect some of those returning from half term breaks. now on bbc news, sportsday. hello, good evening. welcome to sportsday. i'm holly hamilton. coming up tonight...

in the end, it came down to a single free kick on a night of high emotion and drama. well, 0lly foster is here with me now. you can't help but think a lot of neutrals would have been supporting ukraine in this. fix, neutrals would have been supporting ukraine in this.— ukraine in this. a lot of the neutrals- — ukraine in this. a lot of the neutrals. an _ ukraine in this. a lot of the neutrals. an absolute - ukraine in this. a lot of the i neutrals. an absolute nerves ukraine in this. a lot of the - neutrals. an absolute nerves are jangling because of what was at stake. the emotions surrounding ukraine. this play—off final, was delayed for a couple of month by the invasion and ongoing work. amazing that ukraine managed to get a team together. they have been training together. they have been training together in slovenia before they went to scotland, they had to come through their play—off semifinal at hampden a couple of days ago. they were absolutely fantastic, despatching the scots. after those ukrainian players going through so much, and you could see, when the anthems were sung at the cardiff city stadium, my word, the anticipation on those very lucky ukrainian�*s fans that made it there. but it was that men, gareth bale,

that free kick initially was given to bail but it was andriy yarmolenko, the diving desperate header to clear, it did go down as a own goal. ukraine had so many chances. wayne hennessey, just one of the number of saves that helped wales get over the line. he was embraced at full time, the players went absolutely potty. it is going to be a wild old night in cardiff. i spoke to a ukrainian sports journalist in the last 20 minutes, she was wearing the colours. she wrote a magnificent piece a few days ago about how the ukrainian troops managed to watch the match against scotland. they say they will be doing it again in their thousands if they were able to do so safely, and how all the ukrainian families were rallying around and watching this match however they could. and they have been fantastic. it has been an absolute morale booster, but in the end huge disappointment for ukraine.

those players, and the nation. but what an achievement for wales, because this will only be their third major championship. they got to the heroes in 2016, inspired by gareth bale, and once again the captain has done it again. and getting them to their first world cup since 1958.— getting them to their first world cup since 1958. very quickly, you have not cup since 1958. very quickly, you have got a _ cup since 1958. very quickly, you have got a reaction _ cup since 1958. very quickly, you have got a reaction there - cup since 1958. very quickly, you have got a reaction there from i cup since 1958. very quickly, you . have got a reaction there from some of the players on what exactly this means to them.— means to them. this is bail. the createst means to them. this is bail. the greatest result _ means to them. this is bail. the greatest result in _ means to them. this is bail. the greatest result in history. - means to them. this is bail. the greatest result in history.

to win the first test at lord's. from 216—5 overnight, with a target of 277, the home side were taken to victory with help from a joe root century — giving his successor, ben stokes, the perfect start to his reign. joe wilson reports. sunday morning and all things possible, a test match at its best. super intense. captain ben stokes knew all he could do was watch. everyone mattered. fourfrom ben foakes, a leap forward. just 42 more to win now. everyone in the ground was counting the score and counting on the batters who remained. everyone in the ground was counting

the score and counting on the batters who remained. but who else would you want out there for england butjoe root, the calmest man at lords? new zealand needed five wickets, time was slipping by. time for root to reach 100 in this innings, to reach 10,000 runs in his outstanding test career. right here, the partnership with foakes was worth even more, because it kept the door closed on new zealand. the very hardest thing to do is to make it look easy. the most demanding of situations became a master class from one of the all—time greats, winning the test like that. remember, this was more than just the first test of the new summer. for england, they hoped this was the start of a new test match era. some called it a reset, the captain preferred the term blank canvas. well, thanks to the former skipper, joe root, here is an image to inspire england onwards. joe wilson, bbc news. well, for root, who ended 115 not out, he becomes the second england batter after sir alastair cook to reach 10,000 test runs. he says it was a much needed victory for this england side. i think it's just a really important thing for the team to remember what winning is like again. it's felt like a very long time. it's been talked about a huge amount and just breeds so much confidence and it can

run through the rest of the group. it is a fresh start with ben and a way for us to now look forward and do things slightly differently. and everyone should be really excited by that and take confidence from that in itself. but to start with a win like that, of course, we are feeling in a great spot going into next week. the thing i was really proud of, the whole _ the thing i was really proud of, the whole four— the thing i was really proud of, the whole four days, every time we felt we were _ whole four days, every time we felt we were under pressure, we went more positive _ we were under pressure, we went more positive and _ we were under pressure, we went more positive and try to hold ourselves back into — positive and try to hold ourselves back into see where we are. it was always— back into see where we are. it was always going to be a challenge, but everybody — always going to be a challenge, but everybody went out there and we followed — everybody went out there and we followed on because i think it was fairly— followed on because i think it was fairly obvious that it was all about taking _ fairly obvious that it was all about taking wickets. i think that it's -ot taking wickets. i think that it's got a — taking wickets. i think that it's got a huge influence. on to tennis, and proving once again why he's king of the french open. rafael nadal claimed
