the heat parts of england. where is the heat coming from? the usual direction, coming from? the usual direction, coming from? the usual direction, coming from the south, all the way from the canaries, we can see this warm current of air are spreading across western europe, reaching our shores and it's going to turn very humid as well. this evening we also have some thunderstorms or least some showers affecting south—western part of the uk where it will be very humid, 15 in plymouth, 1a in london. a bit fresher in eastern scotland and the north—east of england, newcastle at around 7 celsius. tomorrow, it starts off on the cloudy site, but on the hill it is a sunny morning and afternoon, then the showers will start to brood, the heat of the day. just a few miles across, it's going to be difficult to pinpoint where the showers will be. the point is, we can forecast the area where the showers will be occurring, so somewhere around here, but we can't pinpoint the exact town or city and certainly not your barbecue! so the forecast for
6:31 pm
tomorrow, lots of sunshine and scattered thundery showers, temperatures may be after 30, but for most of us, to mid 20s or high 20s. sunday will see quite a large area at risk of some showers and downpours across western areas of the uk and again another very warm one, low to mid 20s widely come up to about 29 in london. thanks, tomasz. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team it's goodbye — the news continues here on bbc one as now it's time tojoin our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are. goodnight. hello and welcome to sportsday. my fear of the bbc sport centre and in istanbul. i'm hugh ferris with the

zooms in here, in this cavern is —— cavern is attaturk stadium. the victory against ac milan all those years ago. you can see city being put through their paces. seems like hundreds of representatives all around the world are watching this. we have the press conference up short time ago, but city preparing for this date with destiny against inter. e for this date with destiny against inter. �* ,, , , ., inter.

6:42 pm
this period for 15 years ever since the abu dhabi takeover. around 1,000,000,000 and a half pounds has been pumped into the club, i think the owners have been geared towards succeeding in the biggest competition of club football. that is the trophy they cover above all, that's the one who has proven elusive, and you get the impression you would mark a real shift in the balance of power. a real crossroads moments if city were to prevail on this occasion. there will be many who will be concerned if it raises questions about the power that state links clubs have. whether they're becoming too powerful, others will simply admire the majesty of their play, the coaching, the pursuit of excellence and the way that all the money has been spent. there's been controversy on the way and this is the season which the club was hit with all the charges of alleged
6:43 pm
financial rule breaking. city deny that, but on the field, it's been close to perfect. it will be if they cap all those achievement with the most prestigious price tomorrow. dan, many thanks. there aren't many people connected with... then mikhail sylvester. he's been speaking to dan roan about his challenge from 2a years ago. it's been a long process. pep has been chasing this for quite some time. i think i'm in a good position to do that. we can't take away the fact that money is a big factor. you want

6:46 pm
finished for third in serie a and will be back in the champions league next season. when city blew away real madrid, it took the limelight away from the other semifinals. that was the derby, with inter milan taking apart ac. that will have hardened them for the challenge ahead. but attaturk stadium —— inzaghi has given his statement at the attaturk stadium. how about this from bastoni, who said "you know what, you're only scared of murders, not football players. there is no fear from not football players. there is no fearfrom us." not football players. there is no fear from us." they are going not football players. there is no fearfrom us." they are going in withjust the right fearfrom us." they are going in with just the right level of tension. . ~ with just the right level of tension. ., ,, , ., , with just the right level of tension. ., ,, , . tension. thank you very much indeed. we'll be back — tension. thank you very much indeed. we'll be back with _

6:49 pm
the semi—finals of the surbiton trophy. boulter now has more points than the former us open champion after beating victoria golubic in straight sets. katie swan could yet overtake both of them should she win the title and boulter lose her semi—final. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. britain's adam yates remains fourth overall at the criterium du dauphine after finishing sixth on today's stage, which was won by germany's yorg zimmermann. denmark'sjonas vingergo retained his overall lead ahead of defending his title at next month's tour de france. took a spectacular catch from cameron green to remove india out for 296 on day three of the world chess championship at the oval. —— world test championship.

6:51 pm
so many fans —— istanbul. we were talking about connections, weren't we, careers intertwined through some of the great champions league finals. we heard from mikhail sylvester and his connections with inter milan, and when you to think about past finals, you have to look at this inter milan team and there's still a lot of love for edin dzeko, who delivered manchester city's first title 11 years ago. he is likely to start from rumail a lukaku —— romelu lukaku. each will have their own motivations. man city will be the favourites, looking for the first champions league title. he is a legend, someone who has won four

in football that need to be respected in the history of clubs need to be respected, like that of inter milan. but ijust look forward inter milan. but i just look forward for and inter milan. but ijust look forward for and enjoy full match, intense match. i expect them to go all the way. 120 minutes, and then we'll see. no penalties? i— 120 minutes, and then we'll see. no penalties? i don't _ 120 minutes, and then we'll see. no penalties? i don't like _ 120 minutes, and then we'll see. no penalties? i don't like the _ penalties? i don't like the penalties. _ penalties? i don't like the penalties, but _ penalties? i don't like the penalties, but it's - penalties? i don't like the i penalties, but it's possible. penalties? i don't like the - penalties, but it's possible. a late winter. some a inzaghi has done good with those... so that gives him confidence to go to such a final. but a final does not define anybody. once you reach a final, it's hats

6:56 pm
go one better and win their first champions league title. let's leave you tonight with a view across the bosporus. we're going to have all the build—up from bbc breakfast. for me and the rest of the team, goodbye. hello there. it's been the hottest day of the year so far with highs hitting 28.8. we also temperatures into the high 20s across southern england. it's set to get even hotter with temperatures up to 30 degrees this weekend. how unusual is that? not very. we get 30 degrees or more everyjune. many of us look forward, some of this hate the heat. that reason, a heat —— he they're we are
6:57 pm
going to see some thunderstorms and you need the right combination of temperature and humidity to make storms. i think humidity is going to be key. overnight tonight, it is a dry picture. here, it will be quite cool, but temperatures are 13 or 1a or cardiff and london. tomorrow, it's a hot and sunny day for the vast majority, and for many, it will stay dry. you can see the winds bashing together across wales and southwest england. that will push up the amount of moisture there is in the atmosphere, and it's that that's really important for making some big thundery downpours. one or two could be determine show, but for many, it's a dry and hot and sunny day up to 30 to get —— degrees. that time temperature up until the 20s for
6:58 pm
some. on into sunday, this time, the greatest supply of moisture is more across parts of scotland, northern ireland, wales and western england. notice the winds coming in from the east or southeast. slightly drier air is affecting parts of eastern england, so not so many showers there. another hot day for the vast majority. heading into monday, the storms are tending to be biased towards western areas of the uk. that drier air working in means there will be fewer showers. beyond that, humidity will tend to drop and as well as that, high pressure will move back in. from tuesday on words, we're looking at extended spells of dry and sunny weather.
