here is the rainfall in scotland, here is the radar from the last few hour, the amber warning radar from the last few hour, the amberwarning are radar from the last few hour, the amber warning are the met office is still in force for the next three hours, or so, two—and—a—half hours, the most amount of rainfall fell where pretty much where the forecast was around charr, momm of where pretty much where the forecast was around charr,140mm of rain, thatis was around charr,140mm of rain, that is a lot of water so there is disruption. but for many the weekend is not so bad. saturday we have sunshine on the way and then on sunday, quite a few showers, we will be in between weather systems tomorrow. this weather system, that is heading our way, and will be sweeping across the country during the course of saturday night. this is what the morning looks like, out to the west, clear skies for many, even a touch of frost, particularly if northern ireland, and some south—west parts of the uk, here is the forecast for tomorrow, so eastern parts of the country pretty cloudy with this layer of cloud, you
6:31 pm
can see stretching from the south—east all the way to eastern scotland. only seven degrees in newcastle but out towards the west, much better weather there are to liverpool, and for cardiff round ten degrees this is the next weather front, so it is sweeping off the atlantic, behind it is cold air, lots of shower, it reaches the irish sea round about 11.00 midnight and then basically through the early hours of sunday, that weather front sweeps out into the north sea and then behind it, we have that rush of wind, so often what happens is you get the weather front and behind it the showers follow in behind, so sunday is going to be the classic mixed bag, frequent showers out toward the west, some of them could bring hail, some could bring thunder and out of the two days sunday is going to feel the cold eest. back to you. thank you. that is it from the bbc news at six. the news continues here on bbc one, time tojoin our teams across the nations and regions for the news where you are. good night.
6:32 pm
evening. iam all i am all they foster. here's what's coming up on sporstday this evening the world cup u—turn. fifa have to tell one of their major sponsors that they can't sell their beer in any of qatar's stadiums the opening game is on sunday, england and wales get started on monday, we'll get the latest from both camps there's a world cup final tonight in manchester, can england's rugby league wheelchair team get the better of the french also coming up in the programme... and it's the 50 year anniversary of england and scotlands first women's international, we'll hear from some of the players
6:33 pm
hello welcome to you. we are in the eve of the world cup opening weekend. evening, welcome along, 10 years ago the premier league chairman sir dave richards had to apologise for a speech he gave in qatar, warning the world cup organisers that european fans would boycott the tournament if beer wasn't freely available, and that a happy medium woukld have to be found bewteen cultures. well, just 48 hours to go and one of fifa's main sponsors, budweiser, has been told that they can't now sell their beer in, or around any of the stadiums. fifa say they've made the decision after discussions with the qatar authorities. let's cross live to doha and speak to our sports editor, dan roan, when fifa get into tournament mode, they have total control, are fiercely protective of their sponsors, and budweiser have been a part of the fifa family for decades, how on earth did
6:34 pm
they let this happen so close to the start of the tournament? it's remarkable, oily. this 11th hour shifting of the goalpost. it is embarrassing for fifa and they do face the potential of legal action from budweiser. you're right, they have been as key sponsor. they sign up have been as key sponsor. they sign up for your due around £63 million. the average east ace rather terse statement. they didn't refer to any potential breach of contract. they said it was beyond their control of the decision had been taken. before that there was a tweet that was hastily defeated the which referred to be awkward. i somewhat light—hearted attempt to what
6:35 pm
happened. when you consider as a result of that usually controversial results in 2010 that saw this tiny, very wealthy gulf state when the right to host a work the tournament was shifted from its traditional summer slot to now in the middle of winter with all of the consequences and disruption that has caused. perhaps we shouldn't be surprised. it's not the only example of course. backin it's not the only example of course. back in august the host successfully managed to shift forward the opening match to sunday. in order that they played on that opening day as well. nevertheless, it's a major surprise. we are in that conservative muslim country. there are tight controls over the sales of alcohol. it's not entirely drive. there are places licensed like the hud looks, i need to advise and that they would be up to advise and that they would be up to buy alcohol at special kiosks
6:36 pm
around the perimeter of the stadium. they are letting it be known, the host that this is down to them being mined of people who want to go to the stadium and be comfortable. given that the local sensitivities and local culture. it would have this made many friends. malcolm clark the football association she just spoke with us earlier. some england funds like a drink. some don't. and they would always be like that. but i think the problem with this announcement it has been made so late. when we went out there in september we were told that alcohol would be available in the stadium. i know, 48 hours before the tournament starts, it is strange. i think what we worry a lot of england there is that worry now about whether there
6:37 pm
could be more u—turns in otherareas, fifa were roundly criticised when they said, right everyone, enough of the human rights stuff, let's just concentrate on the football, and with millions of fans expected there in the coming weeks, arriving from countries with a different set of norms, that mix of cultures and attitudes could prove challenging for qatar? i think it's an early glimpse, an early example of the violence and acts of the host. there would have to strike over these coming weeks. it does raise questions. how will this city handle this unprecedented influx of a million visitors over the next coming days. it does feel quite right now. we are in a country where there are discriminatory laws where there are discriminatory laws where being gay is illegal. i lots of conjecture and assurances have been given from the authorities that all would be welcome. it will inevitably raise questions as to what else can change as malcolm
6:38 pm
clark said there. the other major area of conjecture has been the treatment of my current workers who have been involved in the building of stadiums and vast infrastructure over the last decade or so old when the vote was one. there are fares from human rights campaigners that many died indirectly or directly as a result of the world cup coming here. the organisers deny that is the case. i spoke to bbc present or a guarantor leak earlier about what is going on. i mind closely associated with this tournament from the past. there are significant issues regarding human rights issues around this. regarding homophobia and various— this. regarding homophobia and various things they have here. i am accustomed — various things they have here. i am accustomed to it because i have spent _ accustomed to it because i have spent most of my life in the build-up— spent most of my life in the build—up of workups talking about issues _ build—up of workups talking about issues other than football. as you

6:40 pm
their image positively to the rest of the world. which solidifies the rapid ascendancy you see here in delhi over the last few decades. in a way i think this world cup is symbolic of that. they say this is a nice about sports washing and the skin to grow the game and leave a unifying legacy. many people fear that football would be used here rarely before has the build—up felt quite so divisive as this. fiur quite so divisive as this. our sorts quite so divisive as this. our sports and _ quite so divisive as this. our sports and is _ quite so divisive as this. our sports and is there - quite so divisive as this. our sports and is there life from doha thank you. let's check in with england and wales now, both have been training ahead of their opening group b matches on monday. england are facing iran, alex howell has the latest from the england camp. day three here in the england training camp and it has been very hot. the players have been training here earlier today the stop and the first players we saw on the pitch where the goalkeepers and we actually spoke to one of them. our
