north-west of scotland much of the north—west of scotland also. we are into the middle part of the heatwave, tomorrow looks like the heatwave, tomorrow looks like the peak of the heatwave. it could be showers developing across northern and western areas on sunday but southern areas need the rain, look at that, 42 days without rain in oldham. that is a lot for the uk. the amber extreme warning remains in force for saturday and sunday and the heat slowly abating as we head into the start of next week but it will turn more humid as we start to import moisture from the south. through tonight many places stay dry but we will see low cloud and mist affecting eastern scotland, some travelling through the central belt but perhaps affecting glasgow by dawn. most places very warm with clear skies and light winds once again. saturday, a very warm start from the word go as temperatures will be soaring, still low cloud, mist hugging the east coast of

scotland and that is about it. temperatures, high 20s across scotland and northern ireland and we could be up to 35 or maybe 36 degrees, the warmest spots across the midlands and southern england. sunday, another warm and sunny day, especially for england and wales but you will notice showers developing for scotland and northern ireland into northern england and maybe wales, and if you catch when they could be heavy and thundery but they will be pretty isolated at this point. another hot day likely across central, southern and eastern parts of the country. things will be cooling down as we had three next week, low pressure takes over and we will start to see hit and mist thundery showers. thanks, stav. and that's bbc news at six on friday 12th august. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one now as it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight.

hello. this is bbc news. let's get more on the attack on the author, salman rushdie, who has been stabbed at an event in new york state. stabbed at around four o'clock uk time. about iiam stabbed at around four o'clock uk time. about ”am they are. the

governor of new york has been speaking in the last hour of so about salman rushdie's condition. salman rushdie was attacked on a stage in western new yorkjust before he was about to give a speech. he is alive, he was transported to safety for that but here is an individual who has spent decade speaking truth to power, someone who's been out there unafraid, despite the threats that have followed him his entire adult life, it seems. it happened at a site that are places familiar to me. a very tranquil, rural community will two community where the most pre—eminent speakers and thought leaders and politicians and justices and everyone come have the free expression of thought. so this is a place ideally suited for him to be able to speak and that's what he was

attempting to do just in the last hour before he was attacked. i want to commend the state police, it was was a state police officer who stood up was a state police officer who stood up and saved his life, protected him. as well is the moderator who was attacked as well. we are monitoring the situation but we are... he's getting the care he needs at a local hospital. i will be giving more information on the identity of the perpetrator and the case will be brought in that part of the state. ., ., ., ., ~' the state. the governor of new york state talking — the state. the governor of new york state talking about _ the state. the governor of new york state talking about the _ the state. the governor of new york state talking about the latest - the state. the governor of new york state talking about the latest on - state talking about the latest on salman rushdie, the author was born in what was then british india just before 1947, he is now 75 for books like midnights children which won the booker prize and was declared the booker prize and was declared the best book on two subsequent occasions with it celebrates its 25th and 40th anniversary. he is a

stellar literary figure for the perhaps best also known as being the subject of a fat law issued in february 1989. subject of a fat law issued in february1989. he subject of a fat law issued in february 1989. he was subsequently an attempt on his life in august which went wrong when the book which was contained explosives, being lined up in a hotel in paddington and west lending for the author blew up and west lending for the author blew up prematurely, taking the terrorists responsible and two quarters of the hotel with it. we can talk to martin bright. which is been at the forefront of defence of salman rushdie since the last two late 1980s with the attacks have been before but were focused before that event. he has lived with security in one form or another ever sense. he security in one form or another ever sense. ., , . security in one form or another ever sense. . , . , ., , security in one form or another ever sense. . , ., , 2 sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying — sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to _ sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to lead _ sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to lead a _ sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to lead a normal- sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to lead a normal a - sense. he has. in recent years he's been trying to lead a normal a life | been trying to lead a normal a life as he can. his been appearing in public, he's been doing his book book stores, he's been speaking...

is even appeared on curb your enthusiasm. he was still under threat, he was always under threat and this is a sad day to see one of our greatest writers and probably our greatest writers and probably our greatest writers and probably our greatest champion of free expression being attacked in this way. he expression being attacked in this wa . ., , expression being attacked in this wa . . , h, expression being attacked in this wa . . , ,., ., way. he had been the embodiment of that principle — way. he had been the embodiment of that principle. he's _ way. he had been the embodiment of that principle. he's been _ way. he had been the embodiment of that principle. he's been eloquent - that principle. he's been eloquent and he certainly hasn't shied away from engaging with the arguments of his critics. and taking them on head first. what's been the organisations relationship with them? the precise point on censorship is to try to protect journalists, point on censorship is to try to protectjournalists, writers, authors write to free expression. yes. it was set up to protect and promote the work of writers initially working behind the iron curtain. so 1989 was a year that was extremely important to our organisation because it marked the fall of the berlin wall. we thought

a new beginning. there were even conversations about closing down because with ourjob was done. but of course, that was then the year the fatwa for them and my predecessors at the magazine got themselves into action and he came fighters on the forefront of the salman rushdie campaign. we've been involved with salman rushdie from that terrible moment. he is very much part of the index on censorship family. much part of the index on censorship famil . , much part of the index on censorship famil. , ., _ much part of the index on censorship famil. , ., , ., family. this will obviously cause a lot of reflection _ family. this will obviously cause a lot of reflection and _ family. this will obviously cause a lot of reflection and anxiety - family. this will obviously cause a lot of reflection and anxiety for. lot of reflection and anxiety for other authors who are prominently criticised and we know the power of social media and the kind of sometimes poisonous stuff that is published on social media by those who have different agendas. we know that many in the muslim community have disassociated themselves from the fatwa, whatever they think of

the fatwa, whatever they think of the book satanic verses. what is your hope about how we will engage with this moment? 0bviously your hope about how we will engage with this moment? obviously there is a lot of thought about salman rushdie and's st health and welfare for the but what are you hoping we will take from this incident? mn; will take from this incident? my feelin: will take from this incident? ij�*i feeling is will take from this incident? m: feeling is that will take from this incident? m; feeling is that at the moment we don't know who this was that brought out this attack for that and we have to be extremely careful before we rush to judgment. to be extremely careful before we rush tojudgment. it's to be extremely careful before we rush to judgment. it's always been the case that salman rushdie has been above all, a great writer and a great thinker. his examination of islam and the history of islam was an extremely important intervention at the time. it was always a masterpiece was up the satanic verses, people should stand with salman rushdie and recognise that this was never in attack on islam. it was an examination of the history of the great religion. i can only hope that people are looking at this

today can take from it what salman rushdie always wanted people to take from his writing, which was to think deeply and to think hard about our relationship with the great religions of the world and the great thinkers of the world.— religions of the world and the great thinkers of the world. martin bright from index for _ thinkers of the world. martin bright from index for sager _ thinkers of the world. martin bright from index for sager shop. - thinkers of the world. martin bright from index for sager shop. thank i thinkers of the world. martin bright l from index for sager shop. thank you very much. frank gardnerjoins me now. frank, just give me a bit of context, british security services have been involved for providing protection for salman rushdie at different stages. what can you say about that relationship at about the ongoing threat that he has faced? it never completely went away. i don't think salman rushdie was blase about it. he hid for nine years, he hid from public view, he had close protection provided by british government. because following that fatwa, that was a time a very heightened emotion. it was only a few years after the islamic

revolution ignited iran. so the fatwa was placed in 1989 with nearly a $3 million bounty on his head. it's been increased since then. the iranian government has a slightly murky relationship with this fatwa. when the president took over as president in the early years of the century he was relatively moderate and he basically dismissed it and said it is no longer around. but the supreme leader in iran said that that fatwa never dies. and it still exists and it has been the bounty increased twice by hundreds of thousands of dollars. clearly there is a threat out there and i hope to say, this is probably the last place that people would think this attack to an taken place. a timely of our rural book festival in a place that most people of the world have never heard of in upstate new york. it

wasn't a big high profile book festival like cheltenham or at it was his tidy place that most of us can even pronounce. fin was his tidy place that most of us can even pronounce.— was his tidy place that most of us can even pronounce. on that basis the festival. _ can even pronounce. on that basis the festival, because _ can even pronounce. on that basis the festival, because it _ can even pronounce. on that basis the festival, because it is - can even pronounce. on that basis the festival, because it is small. the festival, because it is small it's probably the sort of event where you could kind of move among authors and the attendees, the relationship with the audience, the attendees wouldn't perhaps be limited in some of the ways the bigger events you name. i know you been to enough literary festivals yourself as an author.— been to enough literary festivals yourself as an author. yes. one of the things — yourself as an author. yes. one of the things sometimes _ yourself as an author. yes. one of the things sometimes worries - yourself as an author. yes. one of. the things sometimes worries authors that are controversial is the fact there is very little security in the states if you remember it wasn't that long ago that an mp or of course we had the tory mp for south end who was murdered. there was a

another attacked so that is always a worry when people come face to face. it's important to say, the importance of salman rushdie goes well beyond that controversial book of his, satanic verses published in 1988. if this was really the spark that ignited violentjihad in many ways, it's important to say and i think is that is overly a, the vast majority of people, muslim or not condemn the idea of eight fatwa. they believe in free speech, they may not like what is written but they are not in favour of that. nevertheless, that fatwa in 1989 was followed swiftly by the bosnian war in the mid—90s where a lot of people volunteered to go off and fight the serbs defending bosnian muslims. they were defending bosnian muslims against the serbs. political islam had been dormant for a very long time comes as a 20th century, there

was a writings but mostly it was fairly dormant. this furore, this row, the book burning, there are riots that followed, ignited that spark and was really the genesis of modern day as espoused by al-qaeda and isis. ~ ., ,, , and isis. want less brief point, althou . h and isis. want less brief point, although is _ and isis. want less brief point, although is a — and isis. want less brief point, although is a british _ and isis. want less brief point, although is a british citizen - and isis. want less brief point, | although is a british citizen he's been long a resident in new york. what sort of protection... would you still receive protection at this stage it would be an individual matter? i stage it would be an individual matter? ., �* ~ ., stage it would be an individual matter? ., �* ~' ., ~' stage it would be an individual matter? ., �* ~ ., ~ ., �*, matter? i don't know. i think that's one to the — matter? i don't know. i think that's one to the washington _ matter? i don't know. i think that's one to the washington mirror. - matter? i don't know. i think that's one to the washington mirror. it'sl matter? i don't know. i think that's| one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest — one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest answer. _ one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest answer. i _ one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest answer. i think - one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest answer. i think it - one to the washington mirror. it's a very honest answer. i think it was important to pose the question. thank you very much. we will have more on this story at seven o'clock. i'll be back then at the top of the hour. it's time to join the team for sports day.

hello and welcome to sportsday — britain's first gold comes from stanford in what could be the last major race. generations worth of matches placed against a long and aside each other. now steven gerrard and frank lampard meet as managers for the first time. to settle family business. nearly 30 years after their dads slugged it out eubanks and connor been prepared to follow in their father's footsteps. —— connor been. hello again. the focus on day two of the multi—sport european

championships in munich has been on two wheels at least in part. metals on two wheels at least in part. and track cycling an last metals and track cycling and in the last few minutes stanford was on a bike for the third of a triathlon thatis bike for the third of a triathlon that is brought britain its first goal. behind after both the swim and cycling stanford made up a gap of seven seconds to hold it in those ahead of her during the run. she helped wales to silver in the next triathlons reload just a couple of weeks ago in the commonwealth games. this is the first goal did a major championship for the 33—year—old son's wedding the world title back in 2013. a bit surreal to be honest. i am waiting to get a taxi and make sure i'm retiring. but maybe an incentive knowing that this is my last ever come up my last of in try to... i can't think of a better way to bow out with a gold medal. european

champs the first time in great britain but in 2011. it's kind of full circle to come here and win gold european ships. lets get some more with our correspondent out in munich nesta mcgregor. day two and a first gold, not all was well on the bikes today in munich though. nesta — the stuff of dreams as you just mentioned. this could potentially be her last time representing great britain at a major event. what a way to go out as the european champion. we had the absolute perfect view to see the end of that race as she came around the curve and powered over the finish line. an amazing story as you mentioned, she helped wales to a civil metals at the commonwealth games in birminghamjust civil metals at the commonwealth games in birmingham just a few weeks ago. she said that was a perfect way to end her career. clearly not because that was a much better ending for them in october she is due to retire to become assistant coach of the triathlon team. we did

ask her at the finish line if she'll be taking in those metals on the first day work. it who better to tell those triathletes what to do? and you listen to a gold medal. flat and you listen to a gold medal. not so well for charlotte worthington. perhaps more than we expected then stanford. she had a difficult day would bmx. yea stanford. she had a difficult day would bmx— stanford. she had a difficult day would bmx. , , ., �* ., ., would bmx. yes great britain charlie borin: thin would bmx. yes great britain charlie boring thing was _ would bmx. yes great britain charlie boring thing was the _ would bmx. yes great britain charlie boring thing was the hope. _ would bmx. yes great britain charlie boring thing was the hope. she - would bmx. yes great britain charlie boring thing was the hope. she is - boring thing was the hope. she is the current 0lympic boring thing was the hope. she is the current olympic champion and top qualifying group going sorry qualifying group going sorry qualifying group going sorry qualifying group yesterday. big expectations. but sadly she crashed or fell on both runs expectations. but sadly she crashed orfell on both runs today, including the second round, she was trying a 720 rotation. luckily, she is ok and we did manage to speak to charlotte after the raid and this is what she had to say. i've probably got a little bit of

things off, beating germany in the bronze medal raise to make it onto the podium in that event. also a bronze medal in the men's team spread after they beat poland into third place. it's a new look team for great britain so they were very happy with their performance post race. from munich to rome where there has been british success in the pool at the european championships. team gb's first medal of the day came in the women's 200m backstroke final where katie shanahan won a first european silver medal of her career behind italy's crowd favorite margherita pa nziera. that silver was soon followed by a bronze for freya anderson in the women's 100m freestyle. marrit steenbergen took the gold with charlotte bonnet pipping anderson to silver by one one hundreth of a second. we're only a week into the new premier league season but it seems we already have our first

club in crisis. manchester united play at brentford tomorrow after a defeat to brighton in their opening match, followed by the continuing trend of summer stories about transfer difficulties and missteps. the most recent suggested marcus rashford might be wanted by psg but new boss erik ten haag sez that's not happening. he is really important, from the first day at men and i'm really happy with them. definitely i don't want to lose them. it's not a plan. we would not he will stay with manchester united. we would not he will stay with manchester united. well, manchester united and their ongoing issues in the transfer market is the subject of the latest edition ofthe football news show, thats online now on the bbc iplayer and that's where you will find it for the remainder of the season. the early kick off tomorrow will bring together for the first time as managers steven gerrard and frank lampard. for years the debate raged about whether the former liverpool and chelsea captains could play

in the same midfield for england. well, at least aston villa against everton will prove they can at least share the same touchline. both sides lost their opening match of the season last weekend and the spotlight is intensifying on the managers notjust because of their famous playing careers. i know x break extremely well, i shared a dressing room for years, he's a fierce competitor and he's a winner. very composed of a very calm. quite a really impressive football, a scene very early on when i showed a dressing room with him that it probably stay in the game in some capacity. so it's no surprise to see him obviously in a similar position to myself about trying to lead a bigger establishment and progress forward. but yeah, in terms of competing against each other, whether it be on the picture and i was a manager, you've got to people that will be desperate to be on the winning end of it. i don't think that will ever change. it certainly well from a touchline point of view. we didn't discuss
