score is impressive, there is another benefit to tonight's match — another benefit to tonight's match — a chance to give these fans a taste of what's to come at next month's home euros. jane dougall, bbc news. the favourite kyprios, ridden by ryan moore, won the gold cup at royal ascot to deny stradivarius a record—equalling fourth victory. it was an exciting finish with frankie dettori taking stradivarius wide, but they couldn't close the gap and ended up third, with mojo star second. and that's now an eighth gold cup win for irish trainer aidan 0'brien. three british athletes battled it out in the women's 800 metres at tonight's diamond league meeting. keely hodgkinson, laura muir, and jemma reekie lined up in oslo — and it was 0lympic silver medallist hodgkinson who won it. muir was second, with reekie a disappointing eighth. with more on that and every thing else on the bbc sport website. but
10:57 pm
thatis else on the bbc sport website. but that is all your support for now. hello. friday is set to bring the peak of the heat that has been building over the last couple of days, especially across england and wales. on thursday, scotland and northern ireland stayed that bit cooler, but cardiff got to 26 — to the west of london, a high of 29.5 celsius. but that's nothing compared with the temperatures we've seen in south europe. this a0 in southern france on thursday is a record—breaker — the earliest point in the year that france has recorded a temperature of a0 celsius. and some of that extra heat will waft northwards on friday into the southeast corner, highs of 33 — always cooler further north and west. these are the starting temperatures for friday — quite warm and muggy out there first thing. we've got outbreaks of rain pushing down across parts of scotland into northern ireland — and this is a bit of a dividing line because, behind this, we are into cooler, fresher conditions, quite windy, as well.
10:58 pm
but ahead of our band of cloud and rain, lots of hot sunshine. some mist and murk perhaps for some western coast, but east wales, the west country, into the midlands, a good part of eastern england, the southeast seeing temperatures into the high—20s or low—30s — likely to peak somewhere around 33 celsius. with very high uv levels in these southern parts, the sun is very, very strong at this time of year. now through friday nights, this band of cloud continues to sink southwards. a weak weather front at this stage, not much rain on it — but to the north of it, we're into the cool air. to the south of it, still very warm and muggy — 18 likely to be the starting temperature in the centre of london on saturday morning. so you can see that warm air clinging on in the south, but further north and west, something cooler and fresher to the north of this weather front. now, along the line of the weather front, on saturday, we'll see some outbreaks of rain starting to develop. some of this rain could be heavy, possibly thundery. also some showers into the north west of scotland. generally, quite a lot of sunshine
10:59 pm
across the northern half of the uk. temperatures for most of us at this stage in the high teens, but still 27 in london, maybe 29 across parts of southern and southeastern england. but by sunday, the cooler air does win out — however, still some heavy thundery downpours in the south and especially the southwest. elsewhere, a lot of dry weather, but largely northerly winds by this stage, so temperatures at best between 14—20 celsius.
