6:30 pm
similar to dry and temperatures similar to recent nights, 11—13 . looking at the forecast for wimbledon tomorrow it should be a dry day although the cloud will build up, you could be the odd shower late in the day and that shower risk comes from this band of rain working in across england, behind that a familiar mix of sunshine and showers, some heavy and thundery, this time the greatest chance of seeing thunderstorms across north—west areas of scotland, some 50 downpours here. temperatures not changing much day by day, still a bit disappointing in the west, high teens, 21 in the best sunshine further east. in the second half of the weekend the weather will try to improve, fewer showers here but otherwise sunny spells, passing showers, quite windy across north—west areas and temperatures high teens across the north and west, 21 and 22 across east anglia,
6:31 pm
then next week there is temperatures high teens across the north and west, 21 and 22 across east anglia, then next week this ridge of high pressure moves in closer, milder air comes off the atlantic and although it will probably be quite cloudy for scotland and northern ireland, england and wales given the brakes on cloud and sunshine, it is set to get warmer with temperatures climbing on friday in london to reach highs of 22 degrees so summer has not gone away yet. and that's bbc news at six. i will be back with the news at ten but it's now time
6:32 pm

6:34 pm
good evening. from the all england club this friday night, where various yet again a smile about for british tennis this time. it is heather watson providing the story. she has played every single day of these championships because our first and second round matches crossed across two days because of the good old british weather, the rain. she is the hardest working woman at wimbledon because heather watson is right behind me as i speak on court 18 with heather dart playing in the women's doubles, but what a start to the day she had over on court one. let's show you what happened because she is into the last 16, she was playing kaja juvan, the first set was tighter, showing us as other impressive shots at the net. and it got even better, we were in a tie—break in the first set, it was tight and this was amongst these shots of the match, lobbying kaja
6:35 pm
juvan, who really couldn't deal with heather watson's variety today and the second set was more convincing from watson, she was 5—0 up, a mini fightback from kaja juvan, but it wasn't enough, job done for heather watson, who steals her place into the fourth round at what a story for the fourth round at what a story for the former british one. she has had a challenges across the last years, a challenges across the last years, a hamstring issue coming into these championships. wasn't being talked about perhaps as much as some of the players, but here she is into the second week for the first time in her career and delighted with that. when i sank to my knees, all i was thinking really was, i have made it to the fourth round for the first time and what it means to do it here on home turf and at wimbledon, for me, the most special tournament in the world. so it meant so much to get over the line there at the end and i was just really proud of myself and just grateful for all the support out there. looking over at my team, who has been with me for
6:36 pm
all those people therefore probably ten years plus, just so grateful to them for sticking by me, supporting me, even when things aren't going well because those are the most important times and those are when you need that support the most. and to my mum, i am so grateful to her for being so level—headed, so supportive, whether i win or lose. it is so important to have that balance and not take the losses too hard and not be too high when you win. she will be buzzing for the win. soa so a very happy heather watson there, into the last 16 of the grand slam for the first time in her career, someone who is trying to match that at hedman hill behind me, the british fans trying to see if they can get cameron norrie over the line this friday night, but will it show you what is happening on centre court at the moment. the british number won the ninth seed here at wimbledon is playing stevejohnson, the american, and you can seen
6:37 pm
cameron norrie has won that first set, 6—4 and is already up a break in the second, it is all looking very good for cameron norrie, who was stumped by roger federer last year here at these championships. but he is looking good for the moment, dare we say it, to be with us in the second week. one person we know for sure into the fourth round is the defending champion here, novak djokovic, hoping to make it four consecutive wimbledons and seven wimbledon titles in total, 20 won grand slams, on track for the world number two —— back the world number two, hunter, is also through into the last 16. lydia campbell reports. away from the watson well when the job done, there was plenty of other tennis in this course. on grass, novak djokovic is relentless. even the coin toss tends to go his way and when it comes to the tennis... well, thatis when it comes to the tennis... well, that is another level altogether. cheering and applause.
6:38 pm
on this earth, kaja miomir kecmanovic didn't even manage to win a 71st set. the second was more even, miomir kecmanovic getting a look in, but soon he lost that search as well. djokovic always seemed to have another level, constantly building as tournaments go on. this was another straight sets win and a near pitch perfect performance for him as he bids for his fourth wimbledon title in a row. i think i have been playing better and better as the tournament progresses and it is obviously something that, you know, you always wish for as a player, that every match you play you raise a level of tennis up a notch, at least, and i think that is what is happening at the moment, so... i knowi think that is what is happening at the moment, so... i know i can always do better, i would expect the highest from myself, but i think so far so good and looking forward to the next challenge. this
6:39 pm

6:41 pm
you will do, you can't help it, they are all seeing the straw begin, what the heck that is exactly what cameron norrie will do, he is on centre at the moment with the lead, 6-4 centre at the moment with the lead, 6—4 against stevejohnson. liam 6-4 against steve johnson. liam broad is 6-4 against steve johnson. liam broady is playing _ 6—4 against steve johnson. liam broady is playing tomorrow and a you called his match against schwartzman, how impressed if you been by liam, especially when you compare last year to discuss a sensational victory, compare last year to discuss a sensationalvictory, he compare last year to discuss a sensational victory, he lost in 11 games in a row, was down two sets to one and 3—0 and everybody in the crowd, including his coach, one and 3-0 and everybody in the crowd, including his coach, thought he was done. _ he was done, but the one who didn't think so was liam and he fought back and got it and once again, he gets it for his age. he admits to a couple of years he maybe wasn't100% as a pro. this day and age, you have to do that and i think it is a trickle—down effect from andy murray, all the british players, men and women, and emma raducanu, have realised if you are going to make it there is no substitute for hard work, you have got to give it 100%
6:42 pm

6:43 pm
wimbledon and we will be able to update you on that cameron norrie match. but let's look at some of the other sport ongoing... after being cancelled because of covid just moments before it was due to start last september, the test series decider between england and india finally got underway today at edgbaston. india lead the series 2—,1 but both sides have gone through big changes in the last ten months. england started high on confidence after their recent series win over new zealand with james anderson taking a couple of early wickets before india steadied. ican i can tell you england are currently 324-7. andy swiss was watching the action on day one for us. some nine months after it was meant to happen, at last, england's series decider against india had to be postponed last september because of covid. finally, though, the visitors were back at they clearly meant business. an early flurry of
6:44 pm
boundaries from gill, as india began brightly, but since they last met england have re—found theirform. jimmy anderson combining with zach crawley to remove first gill and then pedro are, as the host set about grabbing initiative. a rain delay briefly stalled their progress, but not their momentum. one of england's new stars, matt potts, tracking this one book for scoring the biggest scalp of all, dear at kohli just gone for 11, indiamy hope is in disarray. they were 98—5 in england seemed in control. but in mr pant, india have what are the most destructive batters and he led the fightback with blistering style. suddenly england's bowlers were being put to the sword in ever more inventive ways, as pant piled on the runs with
6:45 pm
his partner. it was thrilling stuff and pant�*s reward was a stunning century. in a match that had been delayed for so long, and innings certainly were worth the wait. and this was, bbc news. so much sport... wimbledon, cricket — and there's also a record crowd of 142,000 expected at silverstone for the british grand prix this weekend. however, there has been a warning of protests with local authorities fearing the event could be disrupted. northamptonshire police on twitter said they had received credible intelligence that a group of protestors are planning to disrupt the 2022 formula 1 british grand prix and possibly "invade the track on race day," and added that... in terms of some of the action...
6:46 pm
after a difficult season, lewis hamilton was second fastest in second practice behind ferrari's carlos sainz. mclaren's lando norris clocked the third quickest time. mercedes' george russell was eighth in practice and ahead of his home grand prix he's been speaking to natalie pirks about the season so far and dealing with bouncing cars. i think there has been a number of sort of different issues, you know, we are experiencing between 5—10 g is a force vertically through the car, so hundreds of kilos going through and it is... i described it as like riding an old bike with no suspension or anything over a rocky road, just sort of shaking the bits, but... yes, doing that at 200 mph. max is an incredible driver and he doesn't make mistakes and red bull at the moment does look like the fastest package, so, you know, he is a long way ahead of everybody and we
6:47 pm
are not thinking about the championships or race wins, we are thinking about one thing, which is making our car go faster and all of our energy is going into that. this year's tour de france got underway today in copenhagen, and ahead of it police confirmed that 1a locations across six countries were searched, as they investigate possible doping offences in cycling. europol said following the raids on the properties of several riders and their staff, three people were questioned and that evidence seized was being forensically examined. they did not name any individuals or riders involved. however, on thursday, copenhagen police confirmed they searched hotel rooms and cars of bahrain victorious riders and staff. it was the second time in a week that the team had been searched. in terms of the action... the 2018 champion geraint thomas didn't make the start he was hoping for. the ineos grenadiers riderforgot to take off his jacket for the time trial. he later discarded it, but still finished way down the standings.
6:48 pm
belgium's eve lamb pair was fastest and he takes the lead up's yellow jersey. let's move on to the case of one of america's biggest basketball stars, who has been detained in russia since february. today, brittney griner, the three—time wnba champion, went on trial on charges of illegal cannabis possession. if convicted, the 31—year—old faces up to ten years in prison. the us says she is being wrongfully held and should be freed. let's speak to bbc reporter in the usa holly honderich, who has been following this whole story for us. just give us a bit of background to this case and how we have got to today. this this case and how we have got to toda . �* , , ., this case and how we have got to toda . a , , this case and how we have got to toda . a , ., today. as you said, she is one of the best basketball— today. as you said, she is one of the best basketball players - today. as you said, she is one of the best basketball players of. today. as you said, she is one of the best basketball players of all time. she is dominant in the women's league here in the us and also at replays in the russian league, and thatis replays in the russian league, and that is why she is in russia. she tried to enter russia four and a half months ago and was detained for allegedly having cannabis oil with
6:49 pm
her in her luggage. she has been held since for about four and a half months in a russian prison. there have been negotiations behind the scenes. we have heard very little from the usa department, the white house, but what we do know is snippets from russian state media and today her trial began. not a lot of information. she was reported as saying she understood her charges, but i think on the american side we are all hoping she can be brought home before she is convicted. yes. home before she is convicted. yes, there are difficult _ home before she is convicted. yes, there are difficult to _ home before she is convicted. yes, there are difficult to assess with there are difficult to assess with the lack of information out there, but is there any way of knowing what the possible outcomes aremean, i have been reading today that in russian trials, there is about a 1% acquittal rate, so don't think many people think her odds are good in this trial and that she will be convicted in this russian court and he hopes will be that the us can negotiate a return some point after that. this negotiate a return some point after that. �* , , ., negotiate a return some point after that. a ,, negotiate a return some point after that. �* , ,, ,, negotiate a return some point after that. a ,, that. as you said the us has declared _ that. as you said the us has declared her _ that. as you said the us has declared her wrongfully - that. as you said the us has - declared her wrongfully detained, so they are saying she has been held unfairly, they are saying today that
6:50 pm
it is their highest priority to bring her home, but certainly it has been over 100 days, i think there is a concern thatjust getting more difficult to do so, especially as russia recognises how high—profile she is and how valuable she is to americans. she is and how valuable she is to american— she is and how valuable she is to americans. ., , ., . ., americans. 0k, holly honderich of the bbc, americans. ok, holly honderich of the bbc. thank— americans. 0k, holly honderich of the bbc, thank you _ americans. 0k, holly honderich of the bbc, thank you for _ americans. 0k, holly honderich of the bbc, thank you forjoining - americans. 0k, holly honderich of| the bbc, thank you forjoining stair from the usa. in the last hour, it has been confirmed derby county are out of administration of a property developer completed his deal to buy the ligue one club, a club who were relegated from the championship after a 12 point deduction after being in administration for nine months. a lifelong leeds fan steps in as a takeover after the business when deal fell through. in as a takeover after the business when dealfell through. a in as a takeover after the business when deal fell through. a senior has been put in interim charge after another person stepped down last week. the chief executive of the dp world tour has hit back at the 16 players, including lee westwood and ian poulter, who have threatened legal action unless their sanctions for competing in the first liv golf
6:51 pm
event are rescinded. in a statement, keith pelley criticised the claim from the players that they "care deeply" about the tour, citing limited appearances in rolex series events in recent years. he also said one player had committed to the irish open this week, but instead is playing in the second liv event in portland. dp world tour members were each fined £100,000 and banned from next week's scottish open for playing in the first liv event. pelley added players knew there would be consequences if they chose money over competition. the start of euro 2022 is just five days away and for the month ofjuly the women's game will be front and centre with both england and northern ireland taking part. there has been criticism, however, from some quarters of the host stadia and their capacity. iceland star sara bjork gunnarsdottir said it was disrespectful that they are having to play games at the manchester city academy, which holdsjust 4,400. former england goalkeeper siobhan chamberlain spoke to the sports desk podcast about it. i think it is difficult because there is such a combination of
6:52 pm
things that play there. i think when you look at what the fa have responded to in terms of people didn't come forward and say they wanted to host them and... if you haven't got access to pitches, you can't use them, but again it would be really interesting to see three years down the line, three or four years down the line, three or four years later, do these clubs now recognise that the impact women's football can have on hosting a tournament like this or hosting these kinds of games, would the answer still be the same four years later, yes, it is easy to say, kind of, that retrospectively, yes, we would host the game now, but this was tendered back in 2018. and it is frustrating as a player. i'm sure sara bjork gunnarsdottir has got plenty of family and friends that would love to come to the game and as a player you want to have people there watching, it is really disappointing and i think that is probably the stadium that has picked up probably the stadium that has picked up the most because 4000 is not
6:53 pm
enough for a major tournament. i think most of the other stadiums are there and there you can look at how accessible some of them are and may be asked questions. as a player, i would 100% rather play a packed out stadium that was slightly smaller, then a huge stadium that was half empty, half full. so i think it is kind of managing that balance between the two and i think manchester city, as mentioned, is the one? of, was much too small to put in this tournament? but i can understand why put in this tournament? but i can understand why they put in this tournament? but i can understand why they wanted put in this tournament? but i can understand why they wanted one put in this tournament? but i can understand why they wanted one in manchester. if understand why they wanted one in manchester-— understand why they wanted one in manchester. ., ., ., ., manchester. if you want to hear more from siobhan — manchester. if you want to hear more from siobhan chamberlain _ manchester. if you want to hear more from siobhan chamberlain and - manchester. if you want to hear more from siobhan chamberlain and all- manchester. if you want to hear more from siobhan chamberlain and all the| from siobhan chamberlain and all the build in 2022 and some of the issue still affecting the women's game you can listen to... the sports desk podcast is available now and you can listen and subscribe via bbc sounds. and i can confirm it is a very good listen! let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the sports news today. after months of speculation, mo salah has confirmed he is staying at liverpool. the forward has signed
