dominating the scene for wednesday but we have a weather front pushing in across the north of the uk and northern scotland are the northern isles could see rain at times and we are all into the slightly warmer air and have lost the blue tinge is. we start with plenty of sunshine unlike today the clouds build up and we could see showers and this time the southern half will see showers and for northern scotland and the northern isles it will turn breezy with outbreaks of persistent or heavy rain and quite chilly but further south it is the mid to high teens and we could see 19 degrees and the warmest spots. on thursday the weather spots coming towards the west and for much of the country a fine start with sunshine and probably a bit more cloud developing through the afternoon and a few showers towards the east and south—east of the country, northern ireland and scotland seeing splashes of rain moving in with that weather front but not bad temperatures, particular where you get the sunshine, in the high teens again. and into friday the weather front will flirt with the north of the uk but it is high pressure which is in

charge, a lot of dry weather around and a little bit of rain towards the north and the best of the sunshine across england and wales and we could be into the low 20s in the warmest spots. take care. and that's bbc news at six. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our hello and welcome to sportsday — i'm jane dougall. "my legacy is already exceptional!" pep guardiola's words on the eve of manchester city's champions league semifinal against real madrid as they try to win the trophy for the first time. agony for archer as he's ruled out of the ashes. the fast bowler has a recurrence of the stress fracture in his right elbow and hasn't been named in england's test squad.

another squad announcement, but for netball...head coachjess thirlby tells us what england's chances are in south africa this summer. welcome to the programme. where the business end of the meals pastorates competition of england football. tomorrow, the matchup between manchester city and rail medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is anything medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is anything to medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is anything to go medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is anything to go by, medrad. if the one all drawer in spain is anything to go by, it promises to be an incredible display of football.

ali, you are in madrid for the first leg. such an entertaining match, was in it? and of course we know that means it will be mouthwatering tomorrow. it really delicately poised, isn't it? yeah, with so much at speak, good evening to you jane. we've heard from both managers, a couple of players from either side around madrid. we'vejust players from either side around madrid. we've just been players from either side around madrid. we'vejust been kicked out after watching the first 15 minutes of training but we heard from pat guardiola and carl walker. carl walker was brilliant really, talking about how he tried to keep junior quiet last week. he scored a wonderful goal one all it is. and what or when this could be for manchester city as they try and keep their troubled dreams alive. that big placard on the outside saying champions again. they haven't done early with of the season but surely they will wrap up their third title

in a row. also in the fa cup. but everything is focused towards this champions league summary file. that guardiola says it's 5015, he wouldn't say who his favourite forward. he was also asked about how important it is to him, because obviously the champions league is something that manchester city haven't won, something that real madrid have won 1a times. so the legacy was the question he was asked about. my legacy is exceptional already. further_ my legacy is exceptional already. further for me many times already. we know_ further for me many times already. we know how important tomorrow's game _ we know how important tomorrow's game is _ we know how important tomorrow's game is it's— we know how important tomorrow's game is. it's one of the most important _ game is. it's one of the most important games, we cannot deny that _ important games, we cannot deny that~ for— important games, we cannot deny that. forthe important games, we cannot deny that. for the comp addition, for the rival, _ that. for the comp addition, for the rival, for— that. for the comp addition, for the rival, for many things, but as i said. _ rival, for many things, but as i said. enjoy— rival, for many things, but as i said, enjoy the moment. how

manchester, but they went to the wrong terminal and their boss was waiting at the private vip terminal. they were kicked out at terminal two. no real madrid bantered boss. so you had the unfortunate sight of carlo and gillotti and some of the best players in world football hanging around the terminal two, until the bus finally found them. so there they were. we can see them hanging around just outside terminal two. waiting for the bus. about 1a or 15 minutes. i spoke to a member of real madrid staffjust a moment ago and he said look, not ideal, carl was actually asked about the importance of routine when they got to the stage of the champions league. but he said everything is fine. it's not raining, thankfully. they finally got on the bus. but yeah, not a great start to their preparations here in manchesterfor the second leg tomorrow. thank preparations here in manchester for the second leg tomorrow. thank you. sta there the second leg tomorrow. thank you. stay there for — the second leg tomorrow. thank you. stay there for now. _ the second leg tomorrow. thank you. stay there for now. we _ the second leg tomorrow. thank you. stay there for now. we will _ the second leg tomorrow. thank you. stay there for now. we will come - stay there for now. we will come back to you in just a moment.

they are relaxed, and rather ominously, five champions league winners metals said they are obliged to win at this stage of the season because of the history, the weight of history on real madrid shoulders. thank you. wells, speaking of second legs tonight. both side desperate to get to the player final on wednesday the 27th of may and the chance to get back in the primer league. our reporter is outside for us. jonathan's— reporter is outside for us. jonathan' ., ., ,, ., jonathan's who will make it through to the most — jonathan's who will make it through to the most lucrative _ jonathan's who will make it through to the most lucrative game - jonathan's who will make it through to the most lucrative game in - jonathan's who will make it through | to the most lucrative game in world cup football? that is of course the playoff championship final. both sides will fancy their chances of getting through that wembley final tomorrow night at the riverside. they were a non—league club just nine years ago. they have clambered

he hasn't played a test since march 2021, and is said to be distraught. he's the latest england fast bowler to suffer inury prolems. patrick geary reports. what we remember aboutjeff archer, the fractions of sections of cricket, the better. but the work that goes into those moments takes a hard tool. fractured elbow will keep archer out of the ashes this summer. it might even rule him out for longer. he has not played a test match in more than two years. there are fears one of england's most exciting cricketers may never do so again. exciting cricketers may never do so aaain. �* , ~ exciting cricketers may never do so aaain. 3 ~ . exciting cricketers may never do so aaain. �*, ,, ., ., ., again. it's like a one car almost. he no again. it's like a one car almost. he 90 through — again. it's like a one car almost. he go through the _ again. it's like a one car almost. he go through the period - again. it's like a one car almost. he go through the period he's i again. it's like a one car almost. i he go through the period he's been through which is been really tough and then you just get to the point where he can come back and be able to play and there is another setback. you just hope that down the line he will overcome this, the body will get robust enough. to be able to deal with the rigors of

in august, will take the gloves against ireland on the 1st ofjune. our cricket reporter henry moran spoke to me about why that decision was made. ben fulks was the man that kept wicket last summer and through the winter. ten wins and ten test message. ben stokes is a reign in charge. but because of, the form of harry brooke, when winter was missing with a broken leg, it demanded the question, where to spend fit in? bench spokes said he is the best we could keep her in the world on numerous occasions but england has gone for the option of a better and more than capable wicketkeeper. tough, unquestionably so, in the real question i suppose is whether that was the right call to bring him in, orwhether is whether that was the right call to bring him in, or whether he could have come in purely as a batter, maybe even at the top of the order.

the highest climb of the giro d'italia has been removed from the race because of a risk of snow and avalanches. looking for the third new manager in six months after confirming he was leaving the club at the end of the season. the 51—year—old joined in a short—term deal injanuary. and super giants finished on hundred and 77 for three and 20 overs by indians, top scoring with 89 off 47 balls, and the pride by the indians are down the hundred and 39 1m. the chair of british gymnastics has called upon the government to create an independent athlete safeguarding body across all sports.

it comes after sport england introduced safeguarding measures in the wake of the whyte review, an independent investigation published last year that found numerous cases of mistreatment in gymnastics. mike darcey says the abuse allegations in gymnastics as well as in other sports shows that the current system is leaving complainants in limbo whilst they wait forjustice. we've been talking about athlete welfare for some time now, at least since the report by baroness tenney gray thompson back in 2017. and i know the government has been busy since then, but i do think that now really is the time to act. so we can give the athletes the support that they deserved, and so that we as a nation can show them that we care as much about their athlete welfare as we do about metal time.— we do about metal time. another encland we do about metal time. another england score — we do about metal time. another england score for _ we do about metal time. another england score for the _ we do about metal time. another england score for the netball- we do about metal time. another england score for the netball in i england score for the netball in south africa this summer. chelsea

pittman, who left nepal in 2020 to train as a police officer, has been recalled. we've got to prepare the team have options tactically. we pride ourselves on tactical diversity and embracing the different styles that we've got on the team. there's probably more so and potentially one of our greatest advantages against the top nations, so i think that is going to really bode well for us since we will be able to call upon multiple people, multiple positions that also playing a different whilst playing our brand of roses way netball is going to be i think really exciting. at the last world cup in 2019 the rosie's finished third, and the most recent game it was in fourth place. so what gives you the confidence that england could be capable of winning this world cup's i

my grandad used to call me miss independent and i was going to do everything i can to get back and get on to the international stage again, but the reality is there are so many uncontrollables on the situation, i was 29 and is diagnosed complete of the blue and whilst i have an amazing team here and my oncologists, the reality is i am diagnosed with cancer i have to have treatment and the mastectomy and i do not know whether i would make it back because i have been doing everything possible and working so hard to make this day possible. i used to say to the athletes choose your mood when you wake up everyday and i had to put my money my mouth was and see how i going to wake up everyday and get the best out of every day and sometimes the best was essentially getting out of bed, onto the sofa and some fresh air.

some of those days were coming into training, getting on the bike and exercising, it varied and i had to see where i was everyday. if you get a diagnosis is not the end of your life, not the reason to stop doing things you love. and for me what i love is rowing, coming here and training with my friends and doing this and working towards a big goal. but actually it is the day—to—day process. if you get a diagnosis you can still have a joyful life. that's all from sportsday. thank you for watching. good evening. hello. fairly quiet weather day. a few

showers around. a few showers around. it was a chilly old start this morning due to the largely clear skies overnight. but since then, we have seen more scenes like this, some patchy fair weather cloud bubble up. so through the rest of the week, then temperatures gradually on the rise, we'll hold on to some largely dry conditions, too. so the reason behind the settled conditions is this broad area of high pressure. the winds typically coming in from the northwest where we have had some exposure for example, the northern isles, quite chilly here, but for most of us, it has felt a little bit warmer out there today because of those winds have been on the lighter side. so temperatures for many around the mid—teens. so, scattered showers mainly focused across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland will gradually fade away through the evening hours. and then overnight, a legacy of some cloud in places. i think for most of us it will be milder than the nightjust gone. still quite chilly, though, for the likes of northeast scotland and the northern isles here, just two, three celsius in places. tomorrow then, high pressure still on the scene.

we do have this weather frontjust working around the top of the high that's going to bring a bit more cloud later to parts of northern ireland. and scotland will see some outbreaks of rain arriving too, together with some brisk winds. but actually for much of the uk, it will be a dry and fine day with some sunshine and a partial build up of cloud. and for many of us, temperatures getting up into the mid—teens in some of the warmest spots, 17, 18 celsius possible. looking further out then on thursday, high pressure still sticking around. so when a cold front does head our way, it's not really going to bring any big changes. and also, here's a look at the air mass chart, these yellow and orange shades indicating some warmer air on the way. so thursday itself, then, any early mist or fog will soon lift. and then we're left with some spells of sunshine. meanwhile, further north, it will be a cloudier story at times, with a chance for a few spots of light rain and drizzle, and for more of us feeling warmer with temperatures getting up to around 17—18 celsius more widely. looking at the outlook then,

friday into the weekend, still some fairly lengthy dry spells in the forecast. temperatures on the rise, too. so in the sunshine, it should feel pleasantly warm. and that's your latest forecast.
