a ground, it would be called a tornado, but as it doesn't, it is just a funnel cloud and they are quite common at this time of year. overnight tonight in the showers will decay, low pressure will extend back into continental europe, pressure will be rising across the uk so it will be turning drier. but the wind will be coming in off the north sea so for many places we start cloudy and grey tomorrow. we could see a short spell of rain across east anglia eventually heading towards dorset. the odd shower for wales and the south—west, otherwise it will be dry. the best of the sunshine across northern and western areas so it will be warm here. if you are under the cloud in eastern england, it will be a cool 12 or 13 in places. it could start grey and cloudy across a good part of england on saturday but we should nibble away at that cloud, the sunshine burning through, sunshine developing more widely. there will be more warmth more widely across

the uk on saturday as well, the temperature is continuing to rise, reaching 21 celsius. things start to change on sunday, particularly in the north—west because the weather front is moving in. it will push aside the area of high pressure and we will see rain coming into scotland and northern ireland. that could eventually push across the irish sea, but of it for england and wales, apart some showers, it could be dry. there will be sunshine across eastern parts of england and it will be a warm day again on sunday, temperatures once again 21 celsius. but with the rain in the north—west it will be cooler for scotland and northern ireland. darren, thank you. that is it from the bbc news at six, and i will be back with the latest at not ten o'clock but 10.10 blame your for that. now it is time for the news where where you are.

hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening. on the verge of safety in the premier league, a season of scrutiny for david moyes could also end with a trophy. with the final of the europa conference league just a with the final of the europa conference leaguejust a couple with the final of the europa conference league just a couple of games away. at least this time everyone stayed upright at the end. and these guys rarely fall off despite the rough terrain. we look ahead to a new world series for mountain biking with commonwealth champion evie richards. hello again. the idea of the europa conference league was partly to try and give

teams lower down the traditional pecking order the taste of continental football. uefa wanted what they offered to be experienced by more than just those who consitently sit among the european elite. and so they added a third competition. roma are the perfect example of that kind of club. they claimed the inaugural europa conference league and like them. west ham have waited since the 1960s to win a european trophy. but are tantalisingly close. tonight it's the first leg of their semi final against dutch side az alkmaar. with david moyes saying the club were right to stick by him during a season that's flirted with premier league relegation. last two seasons were very successful, i think the blueprint for west ham, we would like to do better and get more in this competition. it been excellent. and

i would say that the border being clever and ijust thought i would say that the border being clever and i just thought about it and i think the relays and come to the right decision people realise it's the right decision. but the right decision people realise it's the right decision.— the right decision people realise it's the right decision. but sent to the london _ it's the right decision. but sent to the london stadium. _ it's the right decision. but sent to the london stadium. -- - it's the right decision. but sent to the london stadium. -- let's - it's the right decision. but sent to | the london stadium. -- let's head it's the right decision. but sent to . the london stadium. -- let's head to the london stadium. —— let's head to the london stadium. —— let's head to the london stadium. —— let's head to the london stadium —— let's head to the london joe wilson is at the london stadium. — what's the significance of the game to moyes and west ham 7 iis said i is said to myself, it is almost an impossible task but i went through every round in every stage of the europe of conference to work out exactly which team would qualify where and when and why. i got stuck around a cup holders and let's be honest, and the european nations of football, we do not really even consider this in august and september but in may, we certainly do but queen elizabeth olympic park, london stadium just behind me but

walking over there to just the statute, the three famous sons of west ham but in 1966, it was a 1965 for they won the european cup winners and that is disappeared from view and from my youth, i guess it was the third tier of european competition. what it proves is that it does not really matter about the name, if it is a legitimate european trophy, it secures you a high degree of sporting immortality. find trophy, it secures you a high degree of sporting immortality.— of sporting immortality. and even the clouds are _ of sporting immortality. and even the clouds are still— of sporting immortality. and even the clouds are still around - of sporting immortality. and even the clouds are still around a - the clouds are still around a relatively, they are not around west end as a club because does the win v man utd at weekend change the context of tonight's game? being picked up by david and made that comfortable safe, maybe manchester united could've won that match, maybe then west end wants to be worried about relegation. they play very well and they find

themselves 15th in the premier league in seven points clear of the relegation teams and that basically is safe and so, gives david an opportunity to use his press conference for a bit of self—promotion and self indication and i think it enables this whole to be an occasion and i think it's going to rival anything so here in 2012 but enables the fans will be here in great numbers to relax and enjoy it, a sense of occasion against the team that will be thinking they should beat. in that team is fascinating _ thinking they should beat. in that team is fascinating because - thinking they should beat. in that team is fascinating because of. thinking they should beat. in that. team is fascinating because of how they managed to punch above the relative weight notjust here but in years gone by as well. an years gone by as well. an interesting _ years gone by as well. in interesting piece in the years gone by as well. fifi interesting piece in the bbc sport website which gives a lot of the details to this but in short, argue get this which bill it's about 12% of west ham and down on this route with recruitment and being moneyball itself with for some time. and what

they're going to rely on is looking for household names, matt ryan, the goalkeeper and brighton generally relying on up—and—coming young home—grown touch talent and it's been a model and a method —— dutch. are there forcing the dutch top division at the weekend, yeah, and many of the teams a punch above their weight in they know those talented players will be hungry and for a certain extent, there to be weary. for a certain extent, there to be wea . . , ., weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence- _ weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence. and _ weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence. and she _ weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence. and she was - weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence. and she was with - weary. -- wary. returning home, innocence. and she was with the | innocence. and she was with the sorts innocence. and she was with the sports day _ innocence. and she was with the sports day and — innocence. and she was with the sports day and his _ innocence. and she was with the sports day and his own - innocence. and she was with the sports day and his own right, - innocence. and she was with the i sports day and his own right, born london, his mum made her name as a singer and a pop star in the mid—70s and the netherlands. the managers still has links and was going to see

world running clubs where learning how to make the most of what they have without being the richest league in europe because that's the way to change any time soon. i think there's some really good progress being made and some of the biggest and ultimately competition for the most important clubs for raising the standard and there is a reality of money and that's a reality you cannot run away from we are bringing in a third as much is the premier week, and i'm going to be able to click yourfingers and week, and i'm going to be able to click your fingers and compete on equal footing. click your fingers and compete on equal footing-— race, it is there a dickens first with five points separating celtic and lead it is glasgow city at the home side and it's a complete stranger will also play glasgow and both teams in the final match of the week season in ten days' time. a

after a rain—soaked and crash filled stage yesterday. there's been another dramatic day of racing at the giro d'italia. there was no change in the battle for the leader's pinkjersey. norway's andreas leknessund still leads remco evenepoel in the overall standings. but the sprint finish that was expected in naples only came together at the last minute. drew savage has more. already plenty of plot twists in this years year—round, but could there be more on stage six in the shadow of mount vesuvius? nine eruption but racing for thomas but they did force the pics, favourite remco had to use valuable energy to stay in the group after crashing yesterday. and predicted that simon clark and dimarco had other ideas. a0 miles to go, they did not look back, they were forced chase mode and comments whose chain of come off, and you have the support of his team—mate to catch up again. clark

and marty were still out with hundreds of metres to go and they left too late but sheer weight of numbers held out in the end and with the plucky pair finally overtaken, the plucky pair finally overtaken, the fast men fought it out. and it was said and who stormed to the stage victory. a day for denmark although it is still leading overall. staying on two wheels but moving from the road to rockier climes. with mountain biking about to embark on its first ever world series. on its first ever world series which brings together all the disciplines in the sport under one banner over the next few months. with the world championships in glasgow also this summer, evie richards is the british rider who's both a world and commonwealth champion. and is preparing for the opening round in the czech republic. it is the topical that all of us athletes have. and overall, it's another big one but i'm just coming

back from injury from last year and they did not do any races because they did not do any races because they had quite a bad injury and so, i hope this year he can build up and i hope this year he can build up and ican go i hope this year he can build up and i can go into the world championships. i can go into the world cham--ionshis. �*, ., , championships. there's so many disciplines— championships. there's so many disciplines that _ championships. there's so many disciplines that come _ championships. there's so many disciplines that come under - championships. there's so many disciplines that come under this| disciplines that come under this mountain biking event and what is your favourite and how do you manage to over the next couple of days you've got two, how do you manage to compartmentalise the training and the efforts that you have to specifically made for each event? yes, we race on a friday and then a race the full longways which is an hour and a half on the sunday and for me, like, the short track i love racing but because i missed so many races last year, it's really poor, ill be real stepping stone to get a good starting position for the sunday races and hopefully by the world championships, the be going well yeah, i love them both but i also like the downhill, we travel a lot of the downhill writers that's

strong squad coming up and a really good platform for those young writers and i think it's really exciting for country and hopefully, that would do as well leading into the olympics. for the second year running, the same two teams have proved they're the best in the premier league at being green. tottenham and liverpool have finished joint top of the table produced by sport positive. who has ranked all 20 clubs based on their environmental efforts. claire poole is the chief executive of sport positive. what do spurs and liverpool do well? how do you measure it? so, we look across 12 different categories of environmental sustainability efforts from biodiversity, energy efficiency and water use and we have a point system where you can only achieve top points in this category is if you

are working holistically across all of the sites in stadium and training facilities in retail stores working holistically and strategically across the organisation as well. but if ou across the organisation as well. but if you have — across the organisation as well. but if you have a lot of money because rich clubs have disposable income to be able to focus on these kinds of things are as of the clubs might put their resources elsewhere. finances is an element _ their resources elsewhere. finances is an element of— their resources elsewhere. finances is an element of it _ their resources elsewhere. finances is an element of it though _ their resources elsewhere. finances is an element of it though you - their resources elsewhere. finances is an element of it though you mayl is an element of it though you may see much smaller clubs with revenue streams doing incredible work in this area and when it comes to environmental sustainability, you can achieve a huge amount by choosing the right partners perhaps in the catering side to help do that work for you and so, of course those that have more revenue coming in and potentially attributed to sustainability but in the legs of forest green rovers and a smaller club doing incredible things so it doesn't necessarily track. irate club doing incredible things so it doesn't necessarily track. we know

it happened, everything clicks into place and on the beach, it made total sense, just because of the past of this, we'll probably have the last opportunity to play at wembley and almost a full circle. apologising for the unacceptable decision to not allow the women's doubles finalist make presentation speeches. and americansjessica and coco had sunday but were denied the opportunity to speak afterwards, all finalists in the men's doubles addressed the crowd under their games are professional tennis players that the four players have been denied the right to freedom of expression. returning to winning ways on a day of mixed fortunes and

batteries chasing and josh butler was run out for a dog by his team—mate and judging by his reaction, he was far from impressed by his young team—mate but his mood might�*ve been improved watching the 21—year—old batting instructorfast is 15 in history atjust 13 balls, one shy of the world to 20 record and finished unbe 998 as they cruised to victory and no hard feelings between the two and surprising bearing in mind the result. rugby�*s premiership playoffs will decide not only the destination of the league title. but it could also be the last match in the league for northampton's david ribbans. he's leaving the saints at the end of the season, joining toulon. having arrived from south africa seven years ago knowing nobody. but then former england cricket captain allan lamb stepped in. james burridge went to meet them both.

all sufficiently hungry enough, that is all for us. goodbye for now. hello there. well, it's been another day of widespread heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly focused across england and wales, as we can see on the radar and the lightning detector picture here. now, some of the storms today have been particularly slow moving, raising the prospect of flash flooding. and we've had a number of funnel cloud spotted. this particular one, a beauty from the bedford area. now, looking at the weather picture overnight tonight, the showers fade away pretty quickly as we lose the heat of the day and we start to develop cooler northeasterly winds which will drag a lot of cloud in

from the north sea. probably thick enough for an occasional spot of drizzle and maybe a few mist patches around as well. our temperatures overnight generally around six to nine degrees celsius. and then tomorrow, complete change in the weather picture across east scotland, eastern england, where it's going to be cloudy with a bit of rain coming in across east anglia, south east england and working to the midlands and central southern england later on. across western areas of england, wales, northern ireland and scotland. mostly a fine day with some pleasant spells of sunshine. it will feel quite warm in the west with that sunshine and highs up to around 18 or 19 degrees. contrast that with the cooler conditions that we'll have in the east, where temperatures at best will get to about 13 or 1a degrees. and in saturday's forecast we have a build of pressure across the uk and that should bring us a more settled weather day. saturday, any early morning cloud and drizzle fizzles away pretty quickly and we'll see some sunshine come out. now for scotland and northern ireland, temperatures might hit 22 degrees celsius, which would make it the warmest day of the year so far. but i think wherever we feel that may sunshine, it will feel pleasantly warm. whereas around some

of the east coast temperatures about 1a, 15 degrees here. for sunday, a cold front brings rain to scotland and northern ireland. so, that will dump the temperatures, 50 and 16 degrees through the afternoon here. england, wales, well, rain pushed into the north and the west as we go on through the day, might be a few showers elsewhere. the highest temperatures, east anglia in the south east where again, we could see temperatures reached the low twenties. so, that's our weather. but i want to show you what's going on in south asia, where a nasty looking cyclonic storm is heading towards the border region of myanmar and bangladesh. this is the zone that currently houses many hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees in camps. given the weather, there is the potential for some catastrophic impacts. that's the latest.

live from london. this is bbc news. the uk is sending long—range cruise missiles to ukraine — to help with any counter—offensive. the bank of england follows the fed and hikes interest rates. they're at their highest, in nearly 15 years. and eurovision fever heats up. 16 countries take to the stage for the second semi—final. we'll be live in liverpool shortly. we begin in ukraine. the british government has confirmed it's supplied ukraine with long—range cruise missiles.

known as storm shadows, they have a range of up to 560
