laughter don't look at me like that! the bank holiday weekend... if you are watching, good evening. after the high pressure over the last couple of days fine weather and that is starting to retreat and then pressure is taking over so it will start to make things more unsettled. it won't be raining all the time over the next few days but there will be rain followed by showers, some of which will be heavy and heavy and thundery. and that is what we have moving north at the moment, rain into wales, south—west england, possibly heavy and thundery showers into south—east england and this will all trundle northwards tonight. it is most of scotland, northern ireland and apart from the far north of scotland where it stays quite chilly. it will be milderfurther south. this is friday. showery rain and cloud across scotland and northern ireland moving north. in england and wales we will see the sunshine break through and that will set off a rash of heavy showers, some thundery as well, and heavy showers also developing into southern scotland. still chilly in

the north—east of scotland but elsewhere it is pretty warm. generally in the mid to high teens. this is the next feature living in for saturday. it could be a dry start for many for saturday. some early sunshine in central and northern areas but the rain will get going into central and southern areas and heavy bursts moving north, and that will be followed by further showers across the south into the afternoon. it really is quite a mixed day. temperatures may be a degree or so down, with more cloud around and the outbreaks of rain. for sunday, possibly at the moment sunday looks like the best day for england and wales. it could be dry with good spells of sunshine, showers for scotland, northern ireland and for the bank holiday monday looks like we will see early rain clearing to sunshine and showers into the afternoon. to recap, saturday, rainforsome, could be wet for some, sunday probably the best day of the weekend. stay tuned. monday, rain followed by sunshine and showers. quite a mixed they later. as you

say, a bank holiday weekend! stav, thank you. that is it from the bbc news at six. it is time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening... nobody in premier league history has scored more times in a season than this man. we look at how haaland hit new heights with number 35. another team in blue are looking to make history with napoli on the brink of a famous title in italy. an all black familiar with the red rose... john mithcell is the new england women's head coach with their former captain returning to help out. also coming up on sportsday... an equation for you — horse riding plus gymnastics equals? well, it's called vaulting. and we meet the sport's

youngest stars. hello again. bumper scoring seasons always seemed to be the domain of domestic competitions either elsewhere, or insignificant. maybe it's a dominant striker in a lopsided league, or perhaps even messi and ronaldo vying for history—defying records. but now the premier league could have the man to match all that, as erling haaland scored again and number 35 in his first campaign for manchester city broke a mark set in the league's much younger years. joe lynksey has more. manchester city still have five leaks game to play, but for one man

this was an early carnation. in early hollins first year in this league he's done what no one has done before. 3! league he's done what no one has done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 goals. done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 coals. �* , ., done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 coals. �*, ., ., done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 goals-_ he _ done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 goals._ he scored - done before. 31 appearances, and now 35 goals._ he scored 34 i 35 goals. he's done a! he scored 34 of those goals _ 35 goals. he's done a! he scored 34 of those goals from _ 35 goals. he's done a! he scored 34 of those goals from inside _ 35 goals. he's done a! he scored 34 of those goals from inside the - of those goals from inside the box, and holland has now broken a premier league record. for 28 years, the mark to beat has been 34, set first by andy cole and then matched by alan shearer. both of them did that in a 42 game season but holland to change the thrust of the modern days greatjean under paul guardiola no team has won the golden boot. now the front man has scored more on his own than five teams in the league, including chelsea.

but still, i'm pretty sure the premier league, it feels amazing. i'm really happy, and i'm also happy with three points in the end. that's what matters. yeah, i'm happy. fix, what matters. yeah, i'm happy. a decision tojoin what matters. yeah, i'm happy. a decision to join manchester city, headers— decision to join manchester city, headers all worked out. the team seems _ headers all worked out. the team seems to— headers all worked out. the team seems to see you.— headers all worked out. the team seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and seems to see you. yeah, it's going well- and now _ seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and now it _ seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and now it is _ seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and now it is time _ seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and now it is time to - seems to see you. yeah, it's going well. and now it is time to just - well. and now it is time tojust focused — well. and now it is time tojust focused on _ well. and now it is time tojust focused on doing _ well. and now it is time tojust focused on doing my— well. and now it is time tojust focused on doing my game. i well. and now it is time to just focused on doing my game. for now, haaland will — focused on doing my game. for now, haaland will let _ focused on doing my game. for now, haaland will let the _ focused on doing my game. for now, haaland will let the pundits - focused on doing my game. for now, haaland will let the pundits talk. - haaland will let the pundits talk. sure is that the record could have gone to a nicer guy, and haaland is the best. now he has reached the primarily ceiling, the comparisons go beyond 92. ron davis scored 37 in one southampton season but the all—time record goes back almost a

significant consequences for both. such is the nature of most games at this stage of the season. brighton are in eighth, but with three games in hand on some of those above. while manchester united's fourth could become third if they win at the amex. they only met ten days ago when united won their fa cup semi final on a penalty shoot out at wembley. preventing brighton from reaching their first cup final in 40 yea rs. but this game has a lot riding on it too. both teams are hoping to reach europe. and for erik ten hag's side that's the champoins league. i think we have already shown that we can beat the best teams in the world. so i think we can compete and champions league. , we also want to be in the champions league, and we want to compete. and knock them all out. and so we have a way to go. roy hodgson says

managerial changes late in the premier league season are strange. sam allardyce has joined the crystal palace manager as one of six interim bosses having taken over at leeds for just the final four matches at the end of a campaign in which a record 13 managers have been sacked. ido find i do find a little bit strange to see that there were so many changes, sort of very late in the season. i don't quite know what the new manager is really expected to do. there is, you can only walk. it will be if the players really can react to the new manager, i guess, and some of them have before, but if i were the owner of the club i would be asking the question. what has stopped them up to this point. it feels like napoli have been on the brink of the title in italy for a while now. perhaps understandable considering they've been so far clear at the

top of the table for so long. but tonight could be the night. big screens have been set up at the diego armando maradona stadium to watch a match at udinese in which napoli only need a point to seal a historic scudetto, and set off what are likely to be pretty wild celebrations. sofia bettiza is in naples. the city of naples is preparing for an epic celebration. in a few hours, the football team napoli could become the champions of italy's primary football league. this is a city that lives and breathes for paul. the whole city is decorated. there are flags hanging outside every balcony. if you go into a bakery, there are cakes, pastries, ice creams dedicated to the players. and i spoke to some high school students earlier who said that they think if natalie wins tonight they are deathly going to cry because they feel that this is such a historic moment. and this is a party

thatis historic moment. and this is a party that is 33 years in the making. the last time that napoli one was in 1990 when men don't know was their captain. since then, it has always been the bigger teams from northern italy from cities like malan or sharee who kept winning the title year after year. and that is why for lots of people here, this is about so much more thanjust lots of people here, this is about so much more than just football. lots of people here, this is about so much more thanjust football. it is a symbol of their inequality that exists between northern italy which is very wealthy, and seven italy which is a lot poorer. a lot of people feel that people from northern italy look down on them, so winning the title today would make them feel seen, it would make him feel vindicated. it's only a few hours into a crucial match between natalie. everybody here will be watching, hoping better women can finally bring back the glory to the city. finally bring back the glory to the ci . , ., finally bring back the glory to the city. sophia batista and naples for us.

former all blackjohn mitchell has been named as the new head coach of the enalgnd women's team, taking overfrom simon middleton who stepped down after the red roses won another six nations grand slam. and there's also a return for former captain sarah hunter, who will be part of mitchell's coaching team. 0ur rugby reporter sara orchard is here. mitchell's a new zealander, but a familiar name over here, too. yes that's night. this is not the first time he's been involved in the football union. he started to spells on the coaching staff. he was once a defence coach, sorry, once her forwards coach but more recently a defence coach under eddiejones just a few years ago. he was also coach in the men's partnership with the likes of sail and wasps. he has perhaps most famously known for being the all blacks had coached backin being the all blacks had coached back in 2003 when he led them to third place at that world cup. however, you have to say the one thing he does seem to lack his experience with the women's side. we won't find out how he goes for some

time because he is currently employed byjapan time because he is currently employed by japan and time because he is currently employed byjapan and here's time because he is currently employed by japan and here's staying with them until the conclusion of the men's rugby world cup. so it's going to be a while before the red roses actually get to see him in action as a coach.— roses actually get to see him in action as a coach. sarah, holmes recently retired. _ action as a coach. sarah, holmes recently retired. former- action as a coach. sarah, holmes recently retired. former captain, | recently retired. former captain, hugely successful playing career. she is transitioning into the transition coach.— she is transitioning into the transition coach. yes, it might sound like _ transition coach. yes, it might sound like a — transition coach. yes, it might sound like a bit _ transition coach. yes, it might sound like a bit of— transition coach. yes, it might sound like a bit of an - transition coach. yes, it might sound like a bit of an odd - transition coach. yes, it might| sound like a bit of an odd title. transition coach. yes, it might i sound like a bit of an odd title. it does have, a lot of it is actually around some of the technicalities in rugby union. she has already been echoed for many years, a player coach at left lightning. it will be a very, to see her on the coach, along with lou medicos who is the current over 20 scope. she has been named as the attached quote. there is a real push at the moment from world drug way to get 40% representation from women by the next up at 2025, which is of course in england. if england didn't have a few women on the coaching staff i think a few questions would be

season, joining vivienne mediema, beth mead and leah williamson. dutch rider marianna vos continues to lead the week—long vuelta femenina in spain. on day four she was first across the line for her second stage win. britain's lizzie deignan finished sixth and is in 32nd place. vos has an overall lead of 13 seconds. this year's ryder cup in rome will not feature some of the names who've graced the competition over the past two decades. lee westwood, ian poulter and sergio garcia — who is europe's all—time record points scorer — are all now ineligible after resigning from the d.p. world tour. their decision to do so follows them receiving 100,000 pound fines andsuspensions for their involvement in liv golf... we all knew this going and that anyone who chose to go through there so that was a possibility, that that was a possibility that stuff like

this could happen. and again, ultimately this was their choice. and i wish them well. they feel like this was the best choice for them. and now i've got choices to make that are the best for me. and that is the only way i can do it with what's in front of me and what i have at my disposal, and again it gives me a little bit more clarity going forward, i suppose. the bbc understands that british cycling is considering establishing a new �*open' category in which trans athletes would compete in order to reserve the women's category for female—born competitors. it comes just days after the american austin killips became the first trans athlete to win a women's uci stage race at the tour of the gila in new mexico. after the race, killips thanked fellow riders for their support after what she called "a week of nonsense on the internet." three—time 0lympian inga thompson says many of the female riders want cycling's world governing body to change its policy.

the women are mad, and they are angry, and they have left messages and phone calls that i am getting. they can even look at boston. because of their anger and they have been asked to be nice, they've asked to be polite. we can't even look at austin. we can even look at philip withoutjust having rage and anger because we have trained our whole lives to be here. and we don't have a fair shot at this. and yeah, i'm trying to think of how many e—mails i have gotten. i think 40 of the women have directly contacted me, asking me to speak up, asking me to say something. i think that there were two women that support austin being there. and that is it. but

were two women that support austin being there. and that is it.— being there. and that is it. but of course no — being there. and that is it. but of course no rules— being there. and that is it. but of course no rules are _ being there. and that is it. but of course no rules are being - being there. and that is it. but of| course no rules are being broken. no. austin is well within her rights to be there. she is following policy. she has done all of the testing necessary for her to be there to compete. yeah, in that sense, i'm not saying that i support austin, but she has the right to be there in that too. this is a policy issue that needs to be addressed. nobody should be attacking the transgender athletes. there shouldn't be any of that. but we need to change policy, and we need to look at protecting the women, and we look at either category for the transgender athletes, or the transgender athletes, or the transgender men to also have a place in competition, and have an open competition between men. almost all

the men that i speak with, they would have no problem at all having the transgender women placed with them and very supportive. well after its management committee discussed the issue, today the uci has decided to reopen consultation with athletes and nationalfederations, with an eventual decision on classification to be taken at its next meeting in glasgow in august. the governing body says it "hears the voices of female athletes and their concerns about an equal playing field for competitors, and they will take into account all elements, including the evolution of scientific knowledge." cycling's first grand tour of the year gets under way in italy on saturday, with at least one british rider among the contenders for the pinkjersey. teo geoghan hart won the race unexpectedly three years ago and is returning for the first time since then, having had a difficult journey back to the start line, as nick parrott reports.
