forecast will have more detail on that. —— pick out those showers. higher temperatures are expected across south—western areas, perhaps 25 in cardiff. but high pressure builds on bank holiday monday, quite a stiff breeze across the north sea pushing in the cloud to coastal areas. the best of the weather around western parts of the uk, lots of mid—20s easily, really pleasant weather but on the north sea coast it's going to be fairly chilly. aberdeen is a nippy 15, it's going to be fairly chilly. aberdeen is a nippy15, perhaps 15 or16 aberdeen is a nippy15, perhaps 15 or 16 in scarborough, may be a degree higher in great yarmouth. overall with that high pressure building across the uk, i think the week ahead is looking promising with predominantly dry weather, although of course we need the rain. but i think we agree it is not looking bad at all. thanks. and that's bbc news at six on friday 26th august. you can keep up with all the latest

the champions league after losing their qualifier to rangers. the other two teams in arsenal's group also missed out in the champions league qualifying stage — bodo glimt and fc zurich, the champions of norway and switzerland respectively. and in the europa conference league draw — west ham are in the same group as romanian side fcsb, anderlecht and danish club silkeborg. hearts have a tougher group, they'll play turkey's istanbul basaksehir, latvian champions rfs and fiorentina. and, in case you missed it, how must linfield be feeling today? last night they were seconds away from becoming the first irish league club to reach a european group stage, leading in extra time against rfs of latvia, and then this happened. ...linfield are here in blue — they even had a chance to win it deep into extra time — this is in the 119th minute of the match, but that was saved, and then it took four passes from the latvian side to get the ball up the other end and — disaster.

an own goal, taking it to penalties, which linfield lost 4—2, crashing out of the conference league in gut—wrenching fashion. it's another big weekend in the premier league — with southampton against manchester united getting things under way in the lunchtime kick off. west ham will be hoping to arrest their dire run, in the league, since the season started — having lost all their games so far. this time last year it was a different story. they face aston villa on sunday. former player matt jarvis explains where things have gone wrong. i think the players have come back after such a great season and just expected to hit the ground running. all of those who scoring in the europa league have not quite hit their format. europa league have not quite hit theirformat. i think europa league have not quite hit their format. i think rice's trying to take on their of leaving. for me he is their best player by far, he

once the ball he truck the t—bond he galvanizes the team. they had a tough start and the city did not expect them to win i was actually at the game and you could hear the crowd till about crowd getting frustrated. and that's down to the manager, that they install in the team and everyone works for the chart there and they will be disappointed and being at home and losing to braden it is really disappointing. forthem losing to braden it is really disappointing. for them they have villa away and spurs at home and it's a big day and they have to win the spurs game that's just for the fans. for me it's a lack of composure in the final third, i think that's what they were good at last year i think the final cross was good, the finish was composed

this year. certainly three games in and they've done well in the europa league so it's hard to pin it on these first three games, it's final cross the final finish. and you can catch more of that interview with former hammers midfielder matt jarvis — on the bbc�*s football news show asking, "why are west ham struggling?" — which you can watch on the iplayer, and the bbc sport website now. summer's transfer window. a window which has seen plenty of cash spent, and newcastle have today signed real sociedad striker alexander isak for a club record fee of around 60 million pounds. 22 —year—old isak made his debut for sweden aged just 17. his signing would mean newcastle's new owners have spent close to 200 million pounds since taking over in october. manager eddie howe says he's hopeful the paperwork will be completed in time for isak to play at wolves on sunday. the experience that he's had have been incredible for someone so young so that he is played in germany, at a very young age, holland, spain,

big clubs as well so he's had some great experiences i think england and the english gamble suit his profile. he is a really, really good athlete, technically very good, so i think he's got a whole host of things going for him. also in football today cardiff city have lost their appeal against a fifa ruling to pay the first instalment of emiliano sala's 15 million pound transfer fee to nantes. the argentine striker died in a plane crash injanuary 2019, while travelling to join his new club. a court of arbitration for sport panel heard the appeal in lausanne earlier this year. the championship must now pay the first instalment of 5.3 million pounds to nantes. cardiff say they're disappointed by the decision won't be making any payments to nantes and are expecting to appeal. the club claimed they're not liable for any of the fee because sala was not officially their player when he died. still to come on sportsday. we meet one of the stars of combat sports.

leah mccourt, tells us how strength in the face of adversity, has seen herflourish in bellator. i had to do everything myself and take a lot of risks and try to make opportunities for myself which i paid off in the long run. ben stokes has been the inspiration for england today. the captain, has helped his side to a strong total on the second day of the 2nd test against south africa. old trafford very much buzzing, as england look to avenge that heavy loss in the first test. our sports correspondent joe wilson is there for us. stokes in the limelight this week, talking about the mental health struggles he's had over the last few years he helped guide to england to a dominant position did he? really interesting and it's from stokes today, the question is whether he

can combine the response ability of captain and freedom. and we did see that today and we will come to that soon. we have to bear in mind the conditions right at the start of the day certainly he was bowling here for south africa, he is probably the fastest bowler in the world and when he was in the action line it was difficult for him to back zak crawley. the game was kind of in a balance, also a member south africa had a couple of spin bowlers in this spin match simon was the man they brought in so i felt the captain had to use them. so stokes was effectively against the spin bowlers. showed no mercy. there was controlled endings from stokes. so when he came down the wicket to hit this kind of force that became his trademark it seemed like he was doing it at the right time. it seem

like he was showing some discussion about when he attacked. and of course like everyone he needed a partner needed someone to support him and we have to give some time and attention and some credit to the batting of dan as well because folks remember over the course of his career he is been left out of the english team because of his perceived limitations. he was able to walk off 130 knock out with england making a50 in theirfirst innings lead of 26a, it's a seriously good innings lead of 26a, it's a seriously nood days innings lead of 26a, it's a seriously good days work. innings lead of 26a, it's a seriously good innings lead of 26a, it's a seriously onod days work. where innings lead of 264, it's a seriously good innings lead of 264, it's a seriousl aood da s work. ~ ., , seriously good days work. where does is leave the match? _ seriously good days work. where does is leave the match? which _ seriously good days work. where does is leave the match? which is - seriously good days work. where does is leave the match? which is at - seriously good days work. where does is leave the match? which is at the i is leave the match? which is at the end of the second _ is leave the match? which is at the end of the second day _ is leave the match? which is at the end of the second day here is - is leave the match? which is at the end of the second day here is so i end of the second day here is so we are bowling for england now, south africa before the close and they managed to get through without losing a break it already seen

generally, you'll see a lot of the ball with him today and you might get some famous old traffic clever cover —— old trafford cover. formula one returns this weekend — practice has been ongoing today for the belgian grand prix. max verstappen is the man to catch — but the others, including lewis hamilton are making confident noises, about how they're feeling. there's also a new player in the field, with audi joining the sport in the coming seasons. our f1 reporterjennie gowjoins me now.. who was looking good in practice today? it was max, he was very fast in the second session we had a few down patches and drizzle affecting it but he was almost a whole second head of the rest of the field with an 80 point advantage in the championship. it looks like he decided to come back from the summer

sunderland boss alex neil has held talks with fellow championship side stoke city over their vacant managers job. stoke sacked michael o'neill on thursday. after almost three years with the club. the black cats said they were "contractually obliged" to allow neil to hold talks following an approach. and chelsea manager thomas tuchel will be banned from the touchline, for tomorrow's game against leicester. he admitted his behaviour, in clashing with spurs boss antonio conte, after their match two weeks ago was improper — he's been fined £35,000. let's turn our attention to combat sport now and bellator mixed martial arts— which is shown across the bbc — is getting a bigger and biggerfollowing. one of the stars of bellator europe, leah mccourtjoined me in the studio earlier, ahead of her upcoming fight in dublin next month. mccourt is one of the stars

of women's bellator — she told me about her tough journey to the top, and how she's managed to sustain a professional fighting career after having daughter isabella 12 years ago. extremely difficult like any working mum i went to work at about six weeks and it was only when i turned professional that i could really start focusing on just fighting. but it has been extremely difficult and there is no governing bodies yet and i had to find everything myself and just take matters and a lot of risks and try and make a lot of opportunities for myself which paid off because not a lot of people may give up or whatever trials that came up they would've sucked out of it but i didn't. i can see now that it was worth it. but i didn't. i can see now that it was worth it— was worth it. i've seen a lot of your stuff _ was worth it. i've seen a lot of your stuff that _ was worth it. i've seen a lot of your stuff that you _ was worth it. i've seen a lot of your stuff that you put - was worth it. i've seen a lot of your stuff that you put out - was worth it. i've seen a lot of. your stuff that you put out there on how you motivated yourself and what you say to yourself is that you have

all hard work and not a lot of talent, i disagree with you i think you've clearly done well for having talent and you also have that great. we all have jobs, my three sisters and we are all self—sufficient and independent and i think more so i haven't got a lot of physical attributes, i'm not the fastest, quickest, strongest, so some people have physical attributes that help them wear as i feel like ijust have to put the work into get my results. you also bring classes for women backin you also bring classes for women back in belfast for self—defense and looking after themselves and keeping fit, what is the reasoning behind that, it's a great idea, how do you sort of finds the impacts? it’s sort of finds the impacts? it's funn , sort of finds the impacts? it's funny. when _ sort of finds the impacts? it's funny. when i— sort of finds the impacts? it�*s funny, when i start teaching the ladies classes so many women from

different walks of life came doctors, lawyers, teenagers, everyone who were secret mma fans and who loves all the fighters and all the different events and they love it because everyone trained in martial arts does not have to be a fighter. you are learning a form of self—defense for people who don't want to be home on their own and they get a lot more confident and because of that self—defense identity three daughters so my dad wanted us to know how to defend ourselves. finally to a sport full of twists, turns — and soaring through the air at speeds of over 100 miles per hour. the women's world gliding championships are taking place in the village of husbands—bosworth, in leicestershire. two weeks of competition is due to come to a close this weekend.

gliding in the uk it's about 7%. so we've had an initiative running for several years now which is called women gliding. we have a website and we are trying to build a community forfemale pilots and we are trying to build a community for female pilots and trying to encourage more women into flying and into competition flying. and hopefully get more pilots in the british team and we started women's squad two, three years ago because we knew the hormones worlds would be in the uk and we thought wouldn't be great to have a big team in our home country. —— women's. so this year we managed to get seven pilots into the team which is brilliant normally we
