you're live with bbc news. now it's time for a look at today's sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. manchester united manager erik ten hag says he's expecting brighton to be out for revenge tonight. brighton are 8th in the premier league, still pushing for european qualification for the first time. while united travel to the amex knowing a win could move them up to third — seven points clear of fifth. if you get beaten, you want to have refines. they have a huge motivation to beat us, we have to do more and

we have to show more, that we have more hunger than them to win this game. a 33—year wait for the serie a title could be over for napoli later. they'll crowned champions of italy if they manage to get at least a point against udinese. they've been on the verge of winning the league for several days now. and could have done it on wednesday night, but lazio spoiled the party by winning their game. needing a win to keep their ultra—slim hopes alive, lazio led early through felipe anderson, before toma basic sealed the points in stoppage time. it's likely though, they've only postponed the inevitable as napoli just need one point from their final six matches to secure the title. laura wienroither is the latest women's player to have ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament. she's the fourth arsenal player to sustain the injury, joining vivienne mediema, beth mead and leah williamson — who injured hersjust over a week ago.

wienroither was substituted in the 82nd minute of arsenal's womens champions league semi—final match against wolfsburg. arsenal have said that the austria international will undergo surgery in due course and will be sidelined for an extended period. acl injuries usually keep players out for six to nine months and are regarded as one of the worst injuries to happen to a player. some breaking news in rugby union in the last few hours — england women have appointed the former new zealand head coachjohn mitchell to be their new head coach. mitchell was the men's forwards coach in the late 1990s and the defence coach up until two years ago alongside eddiejones. he says there's an opportunity to build on their six nations campaign, which england won. alsojoining him is sarah hunter — who retired in may — the former captain is taking over as the transition coach and will work with both the women's

team and pathway programme. now, in golf, this year's ryder cup in rome will not feature some of the names who've graced the competition over the past few years. lee westwood, ian poulter and sergio garcia — who is europe's all—time record points scorer — are all ineligible after resigning from the d.p. world tour. this comes after them receiving £100 fines and suspensions, for their involvement in the liv tour. the fact that these players are no longer eligible for the ryder cup, they are no longer eligible to be vice captains or captains going forward for future european ryder cup teams. i think those views are probably echoed by a lot of european involved fans. we are talking about players who have been iconic for europe during a period of unprecedented success in the ryder cup. the first images from europe's

new weather satellite , meteosat—12 have just been released. the spacecraft sits 36,000km above the equator , and was launched in december. it's currently in a testing phase that will last most of this year. when meteosat—12's data is finally released to meteorological agencies, it's expected to bring about a step—change in forecasting skill. warnings of imminent, hazardous conditions should improve greatly. this is something called "nowcasting" — the ability to say with greater confidence that violent winds, lightning, hail or heavy downpours are about to strike a particular area. live to exeter in south—west england. simon keogh is the met office's head of space applications and nowcasting r&d. that is quite a title, what does it mean, what you do?— mean, what you do? thank you. basically. _ mean, what you do? thank you. basically. my — mean, what you do? thank you. basically, my team _ mean, what you do? thank you. basically, my team has - mean, what you do? thank you. basically, my team has a - mean, what you do? thank you. basically, my team has a very i basically, my team has a very special mission which is to help the met office and its customers around the world to get benefits of data
2:50 pm
from space to improve situational awareness, literally what's going on right now and also to know more about what's going to happen in a very short term. to drive models and methods to allow us to determine what the big numerical models like struggle to do in a very short range, for example looking at very severe connecting events. haw range, for example looking at very severe connecting events.- range, for example looking at very severe connecting events. how do you see these new — severe connecting events. how do you see these new images _ severe connecting events. how do you see these new images that _ severe connecting events. how do you see these new images that you're - see these new images that you're going to be getting from the satellite helping your clients and making decisions? i satellite helping your clients and making decisions?— making decisions? i think it's important — making decisions? i think it's important at _ making decisions? i think it's important at this _ making decisions? i think it's important at this point - making decisions? i think it's important at this point it - making decisions? i think it's important at this point it is l making decisions? i think it's . important at this point it is point out to your global audience that weather forecasting as a whole gives a maternal investment to the taxpayer about ia to one and there is not a lot but the government invested in that can show that return. where that return comes from is things like the aviation
2:51 pm
industry, whether forecasting is things like the aviation industry, whetherforecasting of the . it is a really important sector for us and the improve images we will get will enable us to provide even better aviation services. you might remember in 2010 that a certain volcano went off in iceland and aviation basically ground to halt around much of europe and since then, we have learnt a lot about how to use data from weather satellites to use data from weather satellites to help us get a better handle on what is happening with volcanic instance for example. so now, we can'tjust instance for example. so now, we can't just track where the ashes going. we can tell you more about particle size distributions and so on and where it is moving too. that is a sort of information you need if you are an airline and you want to know what is going to happen to your aircraft in more detail when they fly through regions where there is that sort of contamination. that is just one application of many. in
2:52 pm
addition, we'll be getting high resolution data from is images, i have just seen the first images today, i think they are silly brilliant. high—resolution data more frequently will give us good handle on those very fine scale storm structures that can actually be some of the most destructive storms. some of the most destructive storms. some of the most destructive storms might only be a few kilometres in size and yet they might wash away a village and they are the sort of fine scale breaches that the models struggle to capture because they are much more coarse resolution. so having those improved resolutions will help forecasting particularly in the short range but is also going to help situational awareness, particularly in parts of the world which are under absurd. for example, in parts of africa, you don't have a dense service observing network. we are able to add in some extra
2:53 pm
observations with the said later satellite. this is a bit of a game changer because large parts of the world, particularly in africa and over the atlantic ocean and the indian ocean, we don't actually have much in the way of ground—based lightning observations. in addition the lightning observations we get from cloud are a bit more cloud to cloud, that is a particular aviation hazard for example. it is also an important tracer of multi—hazard storms so storms may notjust going to get lightning, even at lightning but you also likely to get hail, strong winds and very strong participation that if it falls in the wrong place, could result in flooding. so the lightning images will get give us a great step changing capability over europe,
2:54 pm
africa and the middle east and over the atlantic and indian oceans. exciting time forecasting. thank you so much forjoining us. let's bring you back to the pictures we've been showing you in soho. really great for the crowd have shown up because they got a glimpse of the prince and princess of wales. william and catherine have been at the dog and duck pub to hear how it has been preparing from the coronation weekend. the pub was dealt in 173a, one of the oldest pubs in soho we are hearing from those inside that william, the prince of wales poured their perfect pint during the visit. it was the first pint of kingmaker, pale ale brewed to celebrate the coronation. everyone was saying he did a greatjob. as you can see,
2:55 pm
everyone had their phones are taking lots of pictures, they stopped and chatted with the crowd as well. catherine was telling one young woman who was there that ready for the coronation, there are a few more ducks to get in a row. everything has been going well. earlier, they travelled on the elizabeth line which is the nearest tube and rail line here in london. it was the elizabeth line named after the late queen, they went to tottenham court road station in soho. apparently they both use an oyster card, the card used when travelling around the london underground. they went from the tube back up soho to the dog and duck where they had a pint of cider. all ahead of the coronation which is due to take place on saturday, we

have got so much coverage here for you across the bbc so do stay with us. with some hazy sunshine around. there is a strong easterly wind at a set up as the heart area of high pressure moves away and the low pressure moves away and the low pressure is heading into the south—west. hire savages for the millions she england, england, could make 20 degrees in the sunshine. it's a cloud in the south—west a change because we have lots of matter weather hey that will steadily push its way upwards into the central belt of scotland with showers falling into south later. scotland
2:57 pm
temperatures could be six or 7 degrees, many other parts of the uk likely to stay in double figures. that's rain continues to move northwards up across much of scotland, a chilly wind blowing in northern scotland with some sunshine for a while. other parts of the uk will see some sunshine coming through. showers could turn heavy and thundery. southern coastal counties of england same sunshine in the afternoon, still got a chilly wind blowing in northern scotland. it should be a warmer day and the north—east of england and our top temperatures looking around saturday night in a grace. the cold winds we have got across northern scotland will be pushed away. that signal somewhat unsettled weather and some rain. that's where the front foot thick in the cloud in the south and bring this patchy rain northwards across england and wales, most it
2:58 pm
will be light. temperatures probably peaking at around 16 degrees in the central belt of scotland and 16 in london for the coronation as well with the chance of some rain at times. that wetter weather will move away after dark out into the north sea by the time we get to sunday, we are in between two weather systems so it is looking like more picnic weather. there will be some warm sunshine but we still got some showers mainly in the north and then back into more wet weather for the start of monday.
