where you are heading to time. in the meantime, from me, ade adepitan and the rest of the travel show team here in greece it's goodbye. hello there. it really is a bit of a mixture for us this weekend. some cloud, even some rain, but also, some warm spells of sunshine. and we ended the week on a warmer note, with more sunshine around, temperatures in southern parts of england reached 28 degrees. wasn't quite as warm as that in birmingham. and for the commonwealth games this weekend, there'll still be a lot of cloud around. may get some rain actually sunday and later on monday, as well. all that rain will be coming in from the atlantic. this ribbon of cloud here is going to be staggering down across the uk — it's already brought some rain
5:55 am
across northern ireland into scotland, some patchy rain maybe for a while across northern england and north wales. but we start off quite warm, actually, for much of the country on saturday morning. but for the northern half of the uk, this is where we've got the thickest of the cloud, and we're seeing most of the rain. through the morning, though, it should become drier and brighter in northern ireland and scotland, some sunny spells in the afternoon. still some rain for england and wales — most of it will be across northern parts of england and north wales. further south, it's generally dry, and there'll be some sunshine as well. another warm day to come through much of the midlands, particularly in the south—east and east anglia, temperatures 26, 27 degrees. could make a warm 22 or 23 in eastern scotland with some sunshine in the afternoon. but there is a lot of cloud heading our way from the atlantic overnight, continuing into sunday, perhaps bringing some more rain. that's more likely across england and wales, although it could prove to be rather hit and miss. and with that damper weather moving southwards, it'll dry off with more sunshine
5:56 am
across north wales, northern england. may stay dry all day in scotland and northern ireland, slightly cooler and fresher here. but, again, little or no rain, really, ithink, across the far south of england, and it should be quite warm at wembley for the women's euro final. a lot of cloud here — hopefully we've got something to cheer about by the end of the day. heading into the beginning of next week, though, we've got some more weather fronts heading our way from the atlantic, and that potentially is going to bring some more rain. having said that, many places will start dry on monday, and there'll be some sunshine around too. but the cloud is going to be thickening up from the west — that's going to bring with it some rain. at the moment, mostly across northern ireland, wales, moving over the irish sea later in the day to the north—west of england, and into the south—west of scotland. still dry, though, towards the south—east, and temperatures here again into the mid—20s.
6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast, with rogerjohnson and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: more disruption for rail passengers. 5,000 train drivers from seven operators go on strike in a dispute over pay. victims of the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s and '80s. a judge says thousands of them and their families should receive immediate six—figure compensation. and saying sorry again. will smith takes to social media to apologise to chris rock for that 0scar slap. there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment.
