1:31 pm
like for the grand national here is darren bett. much better weather compared to what we have today, the sun will be out and it looks like it will be dry. today we have seen some sunshine across scotland, it also in northern ireland but we are seeing more showers breaking out as well, whereas for england and wales there really isn't much sunshine at all because essentially low pressure is still in charge as it has been through most of the week bringing more wet weather. if we look over the past few hours the rain has been developing more widely across england and wales and we are getting more showers breaking out in scotland and northern ireland, some could be heavy and thundery. but at least we are seeing some sunshine. lots of cloud for england and wales and underneath the cloud and rain temperatures only nine celsius, it will feel quite cold. a top temperature of 13 across norfolk and may be suffolk where the rain hasn't really started and things are briefly a bit brighter. we could get late sunshine in wales and the south—west as the rain pushes eastwards overnight as the showers die away in scotland and northern ireland but we keep cloud and rain
1:32 pm
across eastern parts of england keeping the temperature is higher. but with clearer skies elsewhere temperatures will be close to freezing and like last night in northern ireland temperatures could be as low as minus four degrees here. into the weekend we see the weather improving, things turning drier, a little bit warmer and we will see sunshine at times. we start with cloud across eastern england, a bit of patchy rain left from overnight tending to fade away. as the cloud breaks up and we get some sunshine that will trigger some showers for eastern england, perhaps eastern parts scotland of which could be on the sharp side. further west it looks like it will be dry, a fair bit of sunshine but feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine and light winds, and temperatures a little higher than today, ran 13-15 c. little higher than today, ran 13—15 c. northern ireland clears over through the afternoon and by the end of the day the weakening weather front could bring a bit of rain into the night. but higher pressure is starting to build a cross that so there isn't going to be much rain left at all by sunday. but there will be more cloud around on sunday, may be some early mist
1:33 pm
and fog across the south—east of england and east anglia, but some brighter skies here. not much rain, more of a breeze for western scotland and northern ireland, it is a southerly breeze, temperatures continuing to rise higher, even with the cloud around could make 15 or 16 celsius. earlier in the week we thought we could get temperatures over 20 degrees late last next week but we have high pressure building from scandinavia bringing with it an easterly wind which will be quite strong. it will keep it cool around some north sea coasts. the highest temperatures will be further west. could make 18 or 19 degrees into next week, and for much of the time it will be dry with some sunshine. darren, thank you. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello, i'm qasa alom, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: the billiejean king cup

1:37 pm
be part of the team, it wasn't possible on this occasion and she wants the focus to be on the players who are competing here, the same player to got great britain to the semifinals in november. yes, this squad reached the semifinals last year and we know the likes of katie boulte and harriet dart love a home crowd. that is where the hope comes from. if you look at this as a contest it looks to be very much in the favour of france. the first match will be katie boulter, who has not had a win on the wta tour this year, up against the numberfive on the wta tour this year, up against the number five seeds. then harriet dart, who had a good year last year, but has struggled in the first three or four months of this year up against elise corneille, who has been on this french squad for 15
1:38 pm
years. if you look at the record that these two have had, harriet dart played well for a country last year. katie boulter�*s record in this competition far exceeds anything she has been able to do in her individual career. she has played 11 matches for her country and won of those. they will go into the tie with that kind of attitude. it is bein: with that kind of attitude. it is being held _ with that kind of attitude. it is being held in _ with that kind of attitude. it is being held in my— with that kind of attitude. it is being held in my neck of the woods in the midlands, in coventry. i imagine that stadium would be quite full. it imagine that stadium would be quite full. , ., y imagine that stadium would be quite full. , ., , ., ., imagine that stadium would be quite full, , ., , ., ., full. it is the coventry arena, so --eole full. it is the coventry arena, so peeple who _ full. it is the coventry arena, so people who know _ full. it is the coventry arena, so people who know the _ full. it is the coventry arena, so people who know the area - full. it is the coventry arena, so people who know the area know full. it is the coventry arena, so - people who know the area know that it is perched on the side ofjimmy hill way. i can see the pitch to my left ear as i talk to you. the arena has been set up a 2200 fans. virtually a today. it will not be a
