# good neighbours become good friends #. you know what? i remember when it started, and darren, that makes me feel a bit depressed, to be honest. i already feel as if i've reached a certain age, but that's quite a i remember watching it at university, and that was years ago. it has been good weather—wise across england and wales, with good spells of sunshine. this weekend, more sunshine around, but we have blustery showers mainly across the northern half of the uk. earlier, we had heavy showers, thunderstorms flashing away across northern ireland, bands of heavy rain still moving across scotland over the next few hours. once those move away, there is more wet weather to come, and it will feed on from the north—west, so wet weather in north—west, so wet weather in north—west scotland, some showers for northern ireland, one or two

coming into western england and wales. tomorrow, we have high grass pollen levels across parts of england and wales, but those levels are dropping across northern england and north wales, perhaps because there could be more cloud around tomorrow. the bulk of the showers tomorrow. the bulk of the showers tomorrow will be across northern ireland, which i was on longer spells of rain in scotland, where it will be particularly windy, with gales in the far north. tomorrow it could be cooler in scotland and northern ireland, but in eastern parts of england, where it may stay dry, temperatures reached 22 celsius in the sunshine. it should be dry at trent bridge on saturday, and probably dry through the rest of the five—day test match. a westerly breeze, and temperatures won't change an awful lot. the wind won't be as strong on sunday. the wind is easing down a bit because the low pressure bringing the windy weather and the showers is moving away. for sunday, we have lighter winds, a

scattering of light showers for scotland, northern ireland and the far north of england. further south across england and wales, lots of sunshine, and it should be warm in the sunshine once again. in the sunshine 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.

good evening, welcome to sportsday. i'm austin halewood. here's what's coming up on the programme. it's back to reality for england's cricketers, as new zealand pile on the runs at trent bridge. murray's still got some magic. andy seals his biggest win for six years! in win for six years! perfect time for wimbledon too. we in perfect time for wimbledon too. we will look ahead to the semifinals of rugby union's premiership with a spot at twickenham up for grabs. and the facet woman at all times will run at the commonwealth games. irefill! run at the commonwealth games. with the run at the commonwealth games. tn the commonwealth games being in birmingham, ithought the commonwealth games being in birmingham, i thought that was definitely going for some dates in the calendar. welcome along to the programme.

we're going to start with cricket, because the second test of england's 3—match series against new zealand is under way at trent bridge. and after the heroics of lords last weekend, where england won only their second test in their last 17 matches, it was back to reality with a bang today as new zealand batted their way into a commanding position. joe wilson reports. the second test for ben stokes�*s england. the captain invited new zealand to bat, and this happened often. new zealand were missing their captain kane williamson and top ranked batter to covid, but they hit four is frequently and fluently, not quite working out as england had planned. ben stokes brought on ben stokes to bowl, will young gone a7. two wickets before lunch but to follow the plot, what is that coming? anotherfour. a beauty, devon conway in full flow in fact. when a twisting england's direction

as stokes came back to dismiss henry nicholls, james anderson got rid of conway for a6. then with daryl mitchell batting, joe root dropped this opportunity. and the captain stayed cool. mitchell continued his strong form from the first test, such power and precision with this shot. it appeared to manned directory in a spectator�*s drink. yet england's player made the official signalfor yet england's player made the official signal for "the ball has collided with the beer." this meant this partnership was being significant, both batters past 50 as new zealand took their total past 300. after several drops, he was a chance to slip fielders just left. new zealand were excellent, but england helped them. joe wilson, bbc news. stamps havejust been england helped them. joe wilson, bbc news. stamps have just been called at day one on at trent bridge, this is how things stand. new zealand are

now 318—a. mitchell and blundell still doing well at the crease there. england with a lot to do on day two. now, a report from the french government has blamed a chain of �*failures�*, for last month's chaotic scenes at the champions league final in paris. it said the events at the stade de france, which included police firing tear gas at some liverpool fans, had damaged the country's image and raised questions about its ability to host major sporting events. our reporterjane dougall has been following this story closely and shejoins me now. jane, what more did this report have to say? a pretty damning conclusion from this government report. significantly finding that the organisers and the police were overwhelmed by the situation. i think we could have guessed that looking at those pictures. it says that the root cause of the cows with a loud crowd of people at the outer perimeter, but it fit repeats the official french line that ticket fraud at the match was of

unprecedented proportions and liverpool fans dispute this, as we know. however, it does go on to say that poor planning, poor crowd control, poor reactivity and failures in public transport and with a signage made the situation dramatically worse. the report, who is the french government's envoy for the olympics, did question the claim that as many as a0,000 liverpool fans arrived with fake tickets. if you will remember, that is what the chief of paris police had said, but he later apologised saying, "perhaps i made a mistake with that figure." it has emerged that only 2a7i fake tickets were scanned altogether, so significantly fewer than first thought. there is no disputing that there were severe failures within there were severe failures within the police, resulting in those horrific scenes outside the stade de france with riot police tear gassing mainly liverpool fans and families, and yesterday the paris chief of police said that was regrettable and that the security operations were a failure. one of the shocking revelations to come out of this is

the fact that the cctv footage from the fact that the cctv footage from the day outside the stade de france has been deleted, with many alleging a deliberate cover—up. earlier, i spoke to neil atkinson it was in paris on the day, he said it was the first organisation of a match he had experience. it first organisation of a match he had exnerience-— first organisation of a match he had exerience. ., experience. it was the most scared i have ever been _ experience. it was the most scared i have ever been coming _ experience. it was the most scared i have ever been coming to _ experience. it was the most scared i have ever been coming to a - experience. it was the most scared i have ever been coming to a football| have ever been coming to a football ground, _ have ever been coming to a football ground, and i have been going fora lon- ground, and i have been going fora long time — ground, and i have been going fora long time it — ground, and i have been going fora long time. it was abysmal, and that is what _ long time. it was abysmal, and that is what has — long time. it was abysmal, and that is what has given a line to this, it was not _ is what has given a line to this, it was not a — is what has given a line to this, it was not a feeling in organisation in advance _ was not a feeling in organisation in advance of— was not a feeling in organisation in advance of a failing of the policing tactics _ advance of a failing of the policing tactics in — advance of a failing of the policing tactics in the aftermath as well. the same — tactics in the aftermath as well. the same goes for the fan park where tear gas— the same goes for the fan park where tear gas was— the same goes for the fan park where tear gas was involved for reasons that make — tear gas was involved for reasons that make no sense to anybody. other than as _ that make no sense to anybody. other than as a _ that make no sense to anybody. other than as a failing a french policing. the report— than as a failing a french policing. the report also referenced to be hunters of fans targeted by the gangs of pickpockets after the match and made recommendations. don't forget, uefa have also commissioned an infinite report into the policing on the day. this means there is a lot of pressure running on the french authorities because, don't forget, they are scheduled to host

good time to rotate the squad and test players out ahead of the world cup in qatar. taste test players out ahead of the world cun in qatar-— cup in qatar. we have got to think about some _ cup in qatar. we have got to think about some things _ cup in qatar. we have got to think about some things we _ cup in qatar. we have got to think about some things we want - cup in qatar. we have got to think about some things we want to - cup in qatar. we have got to think| about some things we want to see. and the freshness of the team as well. i think this is a good game for some of the other players to come into, it is a top—level game. all of the players are physically in good condition. the recovery between these two games is a bit different to the previous two, so on the scheduling, this is how it should be. �* ., scheduling, this is how it should be. ., , . ., ,, scheduling, this is how it should be. another selection issue for gareth southgate _ be. another selection issue for gareth southgate is _ be. another selection issue for gareth southgate is what - be. another selection issue for gareth southgate is what to i be. another selection issue forj gareth southgate is what to do be. another selection issue for - gareth southgate is what to do with jack grealish. the man city player came on and had a massive impact in the game against germany in midweek. he said he feels more free when he joins up with the england squad. i asked the manager gareth southgate if this is something he could be pleased with. jack if this is something he could be pleased with.— if this is something he could be pleased with. jack had a fabulous im act pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when _ pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when he _ pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when he came _ pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when he came on, - pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when he came on, and . pleased with. jack had a fabulous impact when he came on, and i l pleased with. jack had a fabulous - impact when he came on, and i know he enjoys his football with us. he is a player we love working with who has a great mentality, great character, and i think he is a

really good guy to have around the group. with england currently bottom of the nations league group with only four games to go until gareth southgate names his final score for the world cup, this is a chance for the world cup, this is a chance for the players coming into the team to stake their claim to be on the plane to qatar. �* ., to qatar. alex howell reporting there. wales _ to qatar. alex howell reporting there. wales host _ to qatar. alex howell reporting there. wales host belgium - to qatar. alex howell reporting there. wales host belgium in l to qatar. alex howell reporting - there. wales host belgium in cardiff tomorrow. although it has been a brilliant couple of weeks for rob page and his side, qualifying for theirfirst world cup in page and his side, qualifying for their first world cup in a page and his side, qualifying for theirfirst world cup in a 6a page and his side, qualifying for their first world cup in a 6a years, they have struggled in the nations league, losing both of their opening two matches. and now they face the second highest ranked team in the world. thomas dafyd has more. relaxed in training but the burden of a hectic schedule for players everywhere a concern for the captain. gareth bale is morning there would be consequences if this year's congested calendar is repeated. year's congested calendar is repeated-— year's congested calendar is repeated. year's congested calendar is reeated. ., ., , repeated. there are way too many names, it repeated. there are way too many games. it is _ repeated. there are way too many games, it is impossible _ repeated. there are way too many games, it is impossible to - repeated. there are way too many games, it is impossible to play - repeated. there are way too many games, it is impossible to play at| repeated. there are way too many | games, it is impossible to play at a high level for that amount of games.

people at the top of the game have to do something, unfortunately money comes into it. they want to make more money and it is a business at the end of the day. for player welfare, i think money needs to be overlooked and they need to look after the players. without the players, there is no product. edie players, there is no product. bale sa s he players, there is no product. bale says he plans _ players, there is no product. bale says he plans to _ players, there is no product. bale says he plans to make _ players, there is no product. bale says he plans to make a decision on his future after taking a holiday following the nations league matches next week. he says he wants to be playing to be as fit as he can for the world cup in november, but he laughed off reports he had been offered to spanish side getafe. team selection for wales is opening two nations league matches was influenced by the all—important world cup play—off. now that is out of the way, more of wales' senior players are excited to feature this weekend. it players are excited to feature this weekend. , ., ., ., weekend. it will be a team that we want to go — weekend. it will be a team that we want to go out _ weekend. it will be a team that we want to go out and _ weekend. it will be a team that we want to go out and compete - weekend. it will be a team that we want to go out and compete and i weekend. it will be a team that we i want to go out and compete and win weekend. it will be a team that we . want to go out and compete and win a game of football. again with one eye on planning for the world cup and how we want to play, what we want to do. irrespective of who the opposition is, whether belgium, holland. �* , , ., holland. belgium is the first of four games _ holland. belgium is the first of four games for _ holland. belgium is the first of four games for wales - holland. belgium is the first of four games for wales before i holland. belgium is the first of i four games for wales before they head to the world cup later this

win over armenia, but manager steve clarke knows they'll be in for a challenge at the aviva stadium. any team going to dublin to play a game mechanic slightly tough match. the last two games have gone against them, but only one goal previous to that really good eight—game run unbeaten. within the eight—game run was portugal and belgium. we accept a tough game. billy bingham, the most succesful manager of northern ireland's football team, has died at the age of 90. bingham played in the 1958 world cup, before leading northern ireland — as manager — to the world cup in 1982, where they got a stunning win over spain. and then again in 1986. he played for sunderland, luton and everton — who he also managed in the 1970s. patrick gearey looks back at his life. ajune a june evening the ajune evening the a0 years ago, world cup hosts spain against billy

the five—time champions league winner rejected offers from multiple other women's super league clubs to move to kingsmeadow. ferrari's charles leclerc clocked the fastest time in second practice for this weekend's azerbaijan grand prix. but he was far from happy with the car and was heard questioning the team about a sudden loss of power. one to keep an eye on there. sergio perez, who finished quickest in first practise, was second while lewis hamilton struggled back in 12th. bryson dechambeau has become the latest significant golfer to turn his back on the pga tour and join the new saudi—funded liv golf invitational series. the 28—year—old american won the 2020 us open and is in the prime of his career, rather than the start or end of it like many of the others. dechambeau's confirmation comes the day after the pga tour said it was suspending any members

who joined the rival circuit. his first appearance will be in the second event of the £200 million series, which starts onjune 30th in portland, oregon. now to tennis and andy murray has sealed arguably his biggest win since undergoing hip surgery in 2019. he produced a vintage performance to beat world numberfive stefanos tsitsipas and reach the semi—finals of the stuttgart open. murray hasn't beaten a top—five ranked player since 2016. but his impressive start to the grass—court season continued with a straight sets win over tsitsipas. he'll face australian nick kygrios in the last four tomorrow. stephan also plays well on all of the services, but this surface for me it works really nicely with my game and i'm able to use my strengths well on this court. yeah, i don't want to say that i was the smarter player, but i felt that my

and what games they are, both of them local derbies — saracens against harlequins and leicester taking on northampton. now, leicester were almost relegated two seasons ago, but our rugby correspondent, chrisjones, told me this is the culmination of a brilliant turnaround under head coach steve borthwick. this club has really been in the doldrums, which is so hard to get your head around when you think of the traditional success of the leicester tigers. ten times champions of england. there was a speu champions of england. there was a spell when i got the nine consecutive premiership finals. but no final since 2013. as you say, a couple of years ago, the club was languishing at the wrong end of the table and scrapping incredibly hard for their premiership survival. but steve borthwick has turned that all around, they have gone back to some of the tigers basics, the dna. leading from the front, george ford outstanding at fly—half. both on their way at the end of the season but so determined to get leicester

back into the big time and twickenham, but what a showdown it is with the freewheeling northampton saints. we have gone on a run of their own and will be looking to channel what harlequins did last year and really come up in the shadows, get to forth and go on a run to the play—offs. a fascinating day all round and east midlands derby on premiership semifinal day is very special. it derby on premiership semifinal day is very special-— is very special. it certainly has been some — is very special. it certainly has been some turnaround - is very special. it certainly has been some turnaround for- is very special. it certainly has - been some turnaround for leicester under steve borthwick, hasn't it? you mentioned harlequins there, they are involved in the other semifinal. another derby against saracens. both of those two sides know how to win these big games in the play—offs, but how crucial do you think it will be that saracens are playing at home? ., �* , be that saracens are playing at home? ., �*, , ., home? yeah, it's huge. saracens are ossibl home? yeah, it's huge. saracens are possibly record _ home? yeah, it's huge. saracens are possibly record in _ home? yeah, it's huge. saracens are possibly record in these _ home? yeah, it's huge. saracens are possibly record in these play-offs - possibly record in these play—offs at home is outstanding. they are super determined, 18 months or so they have been building up to this game, according to their players. they had their season in the championship after the salary cap scandal. this is where they want to be, they want to show that the

salary cap was not the reason behind their success, salary cap was not the reason behind theirsuccess, it salary cap was not the reason behind their success, it was the players, that team ethos, the spirit and the tactics that got them to the summit of the european game. we mentioned the rivalry in the east midlands, this is a huge london rivalry as well. there are serious beef between these teams. harlequins are perhaps these teams. harlequins are perhaps the most vocal rivals around the time of the salary cap misdemeanour. there is a fair bit of animosity on both sides of this one. look at the heads. owen smith and owen farrell, vunipola and dombrandt, elliot daly and nick tomkins in the midfield for saracens. this game has got plenty of bite, plenty of needle and it will be a really good one to watch. yeah, shipping out to be a cracker for sure. and of course it is the semifinals of the united rugby championship as well. leinster face the bulls tonight with ulster against the stormers tomorrow.

when it comes to the urc league. dina asher—smith has confirmed that she'll race at the commonwealth games in birmingham this summer. the fastest british woman of all time saw her hopes of an olympic title in tokyo last year ruined by injury, but she told our correspondent laura scott that she couldn't resist the chance to compete on home soil, despite her busy summer ahead. it isa it is a very uniquely british challenge for the summer, because obviously we are the only nation that falls into the categories of the world and european and commonwealth games. i see it is a fantastic opportunity. we have had a pandemic where there was just a big vacuum in international opposition, and now we have three back—to—back. you have to go for it and enjoy it. i think every race we have we need to be healthy for and we should grab and go for it. that is what we are going to do. and go for it. that is what we are going to do— and go for it. that is what we are anointodo.~ , ., ., ., going to do. why did you want to go for the commonwealth _ going to do. why did you want to go for the commonwealth in _ going to do. why did you want to go| for the commonwealth in particular? what does it mean to you? weill.

through the course of tonight — northern ireland and scotland gets plenty of showers, especially in the western isles here, windy around coasts — the further south and east you are, the clearer the weather will be. and the temperatures, whether you are north or south, first thing on saturday, will be more or less the same — 12 celsius. so the forecast for saturday — lots of sunshine from the word go across england and wales. the possibility of one or two showers, particularly in northern england, but most of them will be in northern ireland and scotland. much fresher here, as well, around the mid—teens. the warmer weather will be the further east and south you are — the low 20s. that was saturday, this is sunday. and i think the winds will be lighter on sunday, and it will feel, as a result, a little bit warmer.
