to the bottom of the table with six games to go, so thin bournemouth know these games could be pivotal in their bid to say in the premier league. if some type them when they would be three points from safety and if results go in favour as were then the bottom five sides in the primary could be separated by three points. a win for bournemouth would guarantee their place in the top place for the new year. bournemouth will be realjack stephens who will be unable to play against his parent club. southampton haven't had much to cheer for this season but there will take confidence from the drawer with arson less wheezing but bournemouth will be keen to avoid their previous performance. kick off tonight is at

net. us players coming through the academy, you know if you're not 100% committed you are have no chances. if you are 100% committed to a tiny chance. from all of the conversations and e—mails that i received, and messages i have received, and messages i have received, that was a common theme to stop the fear of failure no, that has no build—up in players and a people, going into real world. people are scared to be vulnerable and put themselves out for a newjob orjust because they put everything into this and got told that you're not good enough. so to have that again is really something scary for them. island face a fine of with the second test against golf us up after the hose declared in a huge 704—3 in the first innings which left them

there will be some changes in the next few days. tomorrow, a drier day than today and it's warming up a bitjust in time for the bank holiday weekend, although there will be some sharp showers around as well. earlier on today, it was particularly wet in cornwall, an inch of rain falling in places. since then, that heavier rain has pushed through the midlands towards the south east of england. it's heading up towards east anglia and lincolnshire as well. there'll be a lot of cloud around overnight, but the worst of the rain tending to move away towards the end of the night. it will be a mild start to friday and quite a bit milder than of late actually in scotland. there'll still be some rain left from overnight first thing, especially across northern england. the worst that moves away out into the north sea. we've got some damp weather heading down with that cloud in scotland. the rest of the uk probably brightening up a bit. some sunshine coming through that could lead to one or two showers, particularly in northern ireland. a few heavy ones here in the afternoon. but temperatures are getting up to 16 degrees here and could make 18 or 19 in the southeast as it brightens up. so, a warmer day, quite widely, compared with today. now, temperatures did get close to 40 degrees

in southern parts of spain. we're not tapping into that hot weather. instead, our air is coming more from the azores. it does mean temperatures are going to be higher, but there's still some cold air in place across northern scotland and temperatures will be depressed in scotland and northern england underneath that cloud. england, wales and northern ireland seeing some sunshine, but also a few more showers that could be heavy and thundery. but those temperatures are continuing to rise a bit. could make 20 in the south east of england, but still only around eight in northern scotland. into sunday, and quite a bit of cloud to come, maybe more showers breaking out, again, some of them heavy with the risk of thunder. wetter weather slides across northern ireland into western scotland. so temperatures probably won't be quite so high, but still better than we've seen over the past few days. by the time we get to bank holiday monday, this area of high pressure is trying to build in from the atlantic. a little belatedly maybe, but there should be fewer showers around on monday. most of those highlighted there across northern scotland, east anglia in the southeast though one or two could develop elsewhere. but there will be

some sunshine around. it's turning drier from the west. the winds will be quite light and temperatures reaching a pleasant 16 or 17 celsius.
