the rain yesterday. we are seeing sunshine come through and we will see it brighten up across a good part of england, wales and northern ireland with one or two showers in northern ireland but a warmer day pretty much everywhere. temperatures a bit lower where we keep cloud across parts of scotland, but it could make 18 in the south—east of england. stilla could make 18 in the south—east of england. still a few showers this evening but many places overnight will turn dry, a quiet night with breaks in the cloud leading to mist and fog patches. keeping more cloud in scotland away from the far north of the country where it will be quite chilly. maybe rain across mainland scotland and temperatures similar to last night, 4—7. tomorrow, staying cloudy across much of scotland away from the far north and north—eastern england as well with the chance of rain. elsewhere across the uk, we will see the cloud break with sunshine coming through and maybe a few more showers coming in the afternoon with one or two heavy ones in northern ireland perhaps heading to the west midlands. east midlands, east anglia, the south—east probably seeing the best of the sunshine with

the highest temperatures may be making 20 in england for the first time this year, contrasting with temperatures struggling to meet double figures in scotland. cold air not too far away this weekend from the final scotland and for many other parts of the country it will be warm air coming from the south. still bring the chance of some showers. we may have more showers around and sooner on sunday. those showers can be heavy and thundery again through northern ireland and the midlands. but east anglia and the midlands. but east anglia and the south—east could live a charmed life, seeing sunshine, temperatures typically 16—18 and reaching double figures in scotland but perhaps only briefly. showers on sunday pushing into eastern parts of england later into eastern parts of england later in the day. on bank holiday monday we start to see high—pressure moving and promising something drier. this time, heavy showers across east anglia and the south—east on bank holiday monday. elsewhere, fewer showers, lighter showers. holiday monday. elsewhere, fewer showers, lightershowers. maybe not completely dry but turning somewhat drier with some sunshine around. a

northerly breeze in northern scotland keeping a chilly but otherwise typical temperatures with some sunshine reaching 16 or 17. the bank holiday weekend is turning warmer with heavy showers but fewer on monday perhaps. into next week, is looking drier and also looking cooler. a reminder of our top story... richard sharp has announced his resignation as chair of the bbc, after a report found he failed to disclose potential perceived conflicts of interest before his interview for thejob. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me, and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are. hello. we are live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: new guidance on concussion for grassroots clubs — players with head injuries should

sit out for at least 2a hours. can si strike again? he has the belgian bullet frustrated, as he looks for a place in the world snooker championship final. natasha final. jonas will defend her title natasha jonas will defend her title in manchester injune. hello and welcome along to the programme. new guidance on how grassroots clubs handle the impact of head injuries has been released. the first uk—wide concussion guidelines suggest players should sit out for at least 2a hours. our health reporterjim reed was speaking to me earlier. there has been guidance on concussion in sport for many years but it is been up in general to

individual clubs or sporting bodies to set the rules and protocols. the difference here is this is national guidance, separate the government for across the uk. if someone has a head injury that should be immediately removed from playing, which may sound like common sense, but often in sport that attitude process of applying the magic sponge, get back on the pitch. they say that should never happen. that person should rest for at least 2a hours, there should be no alcohol taken in that time, you shouldn't drive a car. you should avoid using smartphones in that time because there is evidence that screen time can delay recovery. crucially, one important part of the guidance is that person should not return to full competitive sport for at least three weeks. there should be a staggered return to exercise but no return to competition. the staggered return to exercise but no return to competition.— return to competition. the authors who sana return to competition. the authors who sang a — return to competition. the authors who sang a culture _ return to competition. the authors who sang a culture change - return to competition. the authors who sang a culture change is - return to competition. the authors l who sang a culture change is needed

around concussion. is this something that will happen immediately? i think this has been a process that has been going on for many years in different sports and it depends on which club and which sport you represent. i was talking to one campaigner about this a couple of days ago and he was given the example of when his child played recently a football match in england and there was a clash of heads and the child had to go off. the referee said, if he is ok in five minutes he can come back on. the family and spectators were saying, no, that should not happen. in fact, the other player, the centre forward involved in the clash, should also come off. the spectators from the other team are accusing them of cheating as a result. it shows you that even though clubs may have protocols in place, even though there may be guidance on regulations, a lot of it does seem to come down to culture change.

charities like headway want more to be done — a full public health campaign. how feasible is that? it is very feasible if the government wants to do it. the government has said that if this guidance doesn't drip through to the individual clubs and sporting bodies, then it will look at tweaking the guidance and changing it, perhaps strengthening it. what brain injury charity is asking for is a wider public health campaign to make people realise the dangers. they make the point that it is one thing to have this document on a website or e—mail it out to clubs, it is another to get through to the players, the referees, the teachers who need to put this into practice. 20—year—old sijiahui is in control against luca brecel.

the belgian bullet lost his composure at the end of the ninth frame, tossing the white across the table. jiahui went on to win five out of the next seven frames to lead 11—5 at the break. mark allen holds the upper hand in his world championship snooker semifinal against mark selby at the crucible in sheffield, finishing the first session 5—3 ahead. in a back—and—forth session, allen and four—time champion selby traded the lead before the world number three pulled away, winning the final two frames to take an overnight lead. their match resumes on friday afternoon. formula one academy begins this weekend — a new all—female championship designed to develop drivers on their way to formula one. 15 young women are competing, including 20—year old briton abbi pulling, who topped the time sheets in the first free practice session at speilberg. i think it is not only were giving

us good value for money for the same time we are getting and the teams that we get to work with. the calibre is top level. it is not only that, it is inspiring the next generation. they are showing a group of females that can compete at a high level. i always say, if it is not me with the 15 girls in this championship that make it and make that lead to formula 1, hopefully it is the ten—year—old watching us and inspired to make the difference. is the ten—year—old watching us and inspired to make the difference. ahead of this weekend's azerbaijan grand prix, ferrari's charles leclerc has refused to rule out a future move to mercedes. he says there haven't been any conversations, but then added coyly "not yet, not for the moment". mercedes are expected to hold contract extension talks with seven—times world champion lewis hamilton, who will be 39 next january and whose current deal runs out at the end of this year. hamilton says he "loves his team" and is reassured by the progress

mercedes have made since he finished second at the australian grand prix at the start of the month. it will be the start of a new path for us. it will at its core be the same car, but part of the pack to getting it where we want to be. we will not hit the ground and be where we wanted to be at the start of the season. we are not making up that crazy ground that there is, but i think it is really positive. so much great work is being done back in the factory. it takes time to progress in the right direction. it takes time to progress in the right direction. this is formula 0ne's first sprint weekend of the year. because of that, qualifying gets under way in baku in just under half an hour. after four weeks without a race it was a nightmare return for pierre gasly as practice came to a premature end for the alpine driver. world champion max verstappen topped the time sheets, but onlyjust. ferrari's charles leclerc was only

three—hundredths of a second behind the dutchman. mclaren�*s lando norris was the top british driver, eight—tenths a second off the pace in fifth. lewis hamilton didn't use the faster soft tyre, so was down in eleventh. natasha jonas will defend her wbo, wbc, ibf and ring magazine light—middleweight titles on 17th june in manchester. jonas will fight on the undercard of liam smith's rematch with chris eubankjr at the a0 arena. her opponent is yet to be annonced, however she was one of the standout fighters of 2022 winning three world titles injust nine months. ireland collapsed to another innings defeat in the second test against sri lanka, as the hosts completed a 2—0 series win in galle. the tourists were out for 202 in their second innings, leaving them 10 shy of sri lanka's tally of 704—3 declared. ramesh mendis ripped through ireland's batting on the last day as he took 5—61;

despite harry tector�*s brave 85. ireland had opened with their highest test total of a92 this in their first innings, before the hosts' response. great britain men's team thrashed new zealand 6—1 for a third successive victory in the pro league. sam ward hit a hat—trick as the men's team followed up their 5—2 win against the same opposition and a 2—1victory over australia earlier this week. elsewhere, gb women had slipped to defeat despite taking the lead through tessa howard. they stay seventh in the table despite the defeat, although the majority of teams above them have played at least two games more. gb women's final match is against new zealand on saturday, while the men take on australia later that day. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app or from our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye.
