not for all we have seen today, but not for all and once again along that east coast, coming in off the north sea, it still is cool and disappointing. 14-15 at the it still is cool and disappointing. 14—15 at the very best. out of the west, temperatures once again into the low 20s. more chance of sunshine on friday. the high pressurejust subtly changes direction. more sunshine for most of us, temperatures perhaps back up into the low 20s. again, that east coast could stay a little bit cool and disappointing. heading to the coast, it is half term, the high pressure not moving very far at all, which means that it is business as usual. western fringes will continue to see the sunshine, but out to the east there will be some sunshine around this weekend, but again noticeably cooler. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six, you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website, from the six team its goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now its time to join our colleagues across the nations

struck with fifa... ministers are urging action to reach an agreement quickly — to improve the visibility of the sport in their countries. the fifa president has threatened atv blackouts and in a joint statement they said they acknowledged with concerned that until no known television rights have been attributed for the matches broke us in our countries. they added that they recognise the specific organisational constraints that are likely to affect the market value of the european broadcasters rights. it's been reported that the bbc and itv will share broadcasting rights but no announcement has been made. today, the bbc said it would not comment on sports rights negotiations. what a match we could have in store for the final of the europa league later, as sevilla, winners of this competition a record six times take onjose mourinho's roma. the italian side might think of themselves as favourites, given they have a manager who's won all five european finals he's been part — dating back 20 years. should roma lift the trophy, mourinho will be the most decorated manager in the history of major

european competition. they have their focus fully on the scheme. i they have their focus fully on the scheme. ~ ., ., ., ., scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and — scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and what _ scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and what their _ scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and what their chance - scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and what their chance to - scheme. i think roma have laid their sell-out and what their chance to do | sell—out and what their chance to do in the last games. there was a portion of the season they were computed for a top four place but with errors squad, considering the other teams and sorry, getting into top four would've been an achievement. in the last few games they have done well and jose mourinho has given his team organisation so be the biggest that is final. sevilla i wanted six times but this is not the team that does one those compositions, it's a strange dream bringing injose luis mendilibar who was a relegation expert. whereas jose mendilibar who was a relegation expert. whereasjose mourinho is jose mourinho and is used to dealing

with big games. he is doing with a club that is that with injuries. he has players like responding who has missed time but are available now. so, injuries and the thinness of the squad might come against hemp but it isjose mourinho and he does know how to get the tactics bright on the big occasions. that if he gets it bright. save you have pedigree in the competition and under their new manager turn things around and securing safety sifting and the final of the top european tournament again. there are six times winners of the competition and the knowledge that been here before. they had a turbulent season and will see this as a reward and a moment they didn't expect that the beginning. a realisation that this

team could do better and there in the final, in a final of compositions which they normally succeed. they have won six finalists out of six which is exceptional with different cultures. i don't want to imply that sylvia are favourites tonight but they feel there is certain optimism if not euphoria because they reach at the level that he did not expect five or six months ago. this he did not expect five or six months auo. �* , y ., he did not expect five or six months alo, �*, he did not expect five or six months ago. as you say, the jose mourinho affect with roma, _ ago. as you say, the jose mourinho affect with roma, back _ ago. as you say, the jose mourinho affect with roma, back to - ago. as you say, the jose mourinho affect with roma, back to back - affect with roma, back to back european titles with hemp at roma. he seems invincible in these big games. with that be playing on sylvia players minds? i games. with that be playing on sylvia players minds?— games. with that be playing on sylvia players minds? i don't think so. sevilla sylvia players minds? i don't think so- sevilla if— sylvia players minds? i don't think so. sevilla if that _ sylvia players minds? i don't think so. sevilla if that this _ sylvia players minds? i don't think so. sevilla if that this is _ sylvia players minds? i don't think so. sevilla if that this is their - so. sevilla if that this is their competition and have gone through so many rivals over the years and with the remember that in midfield, especially as a holding midfielder sevilla has event wreckage was a

player that threes ago was playing for barcelona and has a long story behind them with a former sega or players well. so their mixture of experience and talented players and another experienced player will impress them as well developed and players like roma having the squad is something that sylvia should look at and not the history behind. to the french open now — and novak djokovic is back in action later at roland garros — and british interest is sparse in the singles, with cam norrie the only competitor left, at this stage — the second round . more from his tie in a moment. men's number one carlos alcaraz is on court this afternoon, but the women's competition has seen 16 seeds exit already— and earlier we saw one of the home favourites go out. patrick gearey reports... 23 years since the last french winner of the french open, the national burden waiting on carolyn garcia. the fifth seed is used to it and since garcia she has been tipsy for the top. now aged 29 she is

from english rugby's top flight. several deadlines have already been missed on the takeover — with the club's owners struggling to pay the player's wages this month. and are yet to prove they have the funds to finance irish for next season. let's get some more on this now with our rugby union reporter sara orchard... good to see you. how critical it is this takeover extension for the club and it viability? it’s this takeover extension for the club and it viability?— and it viability? it's vital if they want to play — and it viability? it's vital if they want to play premiership - and it viability? it's vital if they want to play premiership rugbyj want to play premiership rugby next season. we understand the players were given an ultimatum last night that the had to accept a 50% salary offered and nuts pending breach of contract letters otherwise the whole club would fold. the rugby union wants to avoid the scenario that the club would have a insolvency midseason because that's what we saw with wurster and wasps, it's a difficult situation but you can understand why the rugby football union is trying to act quickly. this is been running _ union is trying to act quickly. this is been running on for a while the

take bigger wage cuts elsewhere or make bigger moves around the world to get a job as a professional rugby player. the english market is saturated and you have to remember the salary cap has come down. it makes it a difficult place to be if you are rugby player in england. sara orchard there for us. thank you the eagerly awaited test match summer begins tomorrow for england's men's cricketers. australia await but first it's ireland at lord's. victory might be expected against a side which has never won a test match. but there are some key issues to resolve for england, not least the ability of ben stokes to play a full role as an all rounder next month. joe wilson has been speaking to him and sent this report from lord's. bright now what's on the mind of ben stokes? he is england's test match keptin stokes? he is england's test match kept in an embodiment of england's revival and reimagining of test match cricket. he is a fully fit to do or what he wants and can do? we didn't sue hemp do much in the

they won 5—1. took it to penalties and one that and did it the hard way at wembley. it wasn't a matter of great quality but ultimately they beat their neighbours, barnsley, and i can look forward to be back in the second year with the hope of ultimately, one day, making it back to the premier league. a big night in sheffield in the steel city, and these nights these guys will have a fantastic night. i'm sure they're getting the party started now, mark and the report in there. get more on our top story the lioness scored an estimate with the former england captain faye white. wait to see you as always. no surprises in the entries like beth mead and other players likely a witness and not in this court some any surprises from the names serena beekman puts in us sweat today question mark note, i don't think so. aha, sweat today question mark note, i don't think so.—

anything is a concern is the striking ability because having that wave of having to supply the goal is on your shoulders to new players because place like ellen white have retired and is used to doing that. this would be quite a young and inexperienced front line almost, so it is that which concerns me more. if you look at we leah williamson, a new player into the squad and captaincy during the euros, it shows that the younger players that to step up into the team now are better placed because they are used to playing through the age groups and having tournament experience. i don't think we should punish too much. the women's game is so strong in england at the moment and the younger players are coming in and relishing the opportunity. so, we have more strength in depth and we have more strength in depth and we have a chance to show that.-

and move back inland. indeed, as temperatures drop below ten degrees celsius as they will do underneath this cloud sheet, we're going to start to get quite extensive drizzle. so you might find some patches of drizzle across parts of east scotland, central and eastern areas of england, maybe even getting all the way across to east wales. so, for some, it is likely to be a damp start to the morning, thursday morning. the drizzle lasting for the first couple of hours, then it becomes drier later in the morning. much greater chance of seeing the cloud break up across western areas of the uk where if you do start cloudy, keep the faith, you'll get some sunshine. whereas across east scotland, eastern areas of england, particularly towards the north sea, you may well keep that cloud even into the afternoon. if that happens, it would be another cool day where thejune sunshine pops out. first day of summer. it's going to feel warm. temperatures quite widely getting into the 20s. now on friday, high pressure is still with us, but it looks like the clouds are going to be much thinner than recent days. and so you've got much better chance of seeing sunny skies as we go through the day on friday. quite a cool breeze for east anglia,

quite gusty winds towards the headlands of southern england. but in thejune sunshine, i think for most of us it's going to feel quite pleasant, quite a fresh feel to the day. temperatures again into the low 20s. on into the weekend, the high pressure is still with us to the north west of the uk. like recent days, that high will be dragging in some clouds from the north atlantic and shoving it down the north sea. and so this weekend is probably going to be something of an east west split with the weather. western areas having the best of the sunshine and the highest temperatures getting into the low to mid 20s, again it will feel warm. whereas across eastern areas of the uk you are likely to come into some slightly thicker cloud at times and temperatures rather than being in the 20s, more likely to be in the teens. but still not bad where the sunshine pops out.
