so far, showery outbreaks of rain pushing is to woods, drizzly in northern england and parts of wales. 50 the best of the sunshine so far so the best of the sunshine so far has been down to the south—east. it is high cloud, you canjust about make it out from this weather watcher in surrey. hazy sunshine as we go through the afternoon. what you've got at the moment is pretty much what you are likely to keep commerce of the best of the sunny breaks down to the south—east, and it stays cloudy and perhaps a bit drizzly from time to time further north and west are just a little bit fresher as well, here the are likely generally around 19—22 but with the sunshine still some warmth, 27 28 degrees not out of the question, down to the south—east. and that's 80 fahrenheit. this evening and overnight keep quite a lot of cloud and for a time there will be some heavy bursts of rain once again moving through scotland, and with a south—westerly feed always bringing more cloud and mist and drizzly conditions, but also more humid air starts to arrive. look at this, incredibly mild start to saturday

morning, 15 or 16 degrees first thing. quite a lot of cloud around on saturday and always out towards the west we can't rule out the low cloud, mist and drizzle continuing with a few showers into the far north—west. but the sunshine is quite strong. 0n the whole it will punch some holes in the cloud, and temperatures will respond. look at this, we could see highs of 29 degrees by the middle of saturday afternoon. that is going to lead into a very uncomfortable night for sleeping. the high pressure then drifts eastwards. we continue to tap into this incredibly humid air across the country, but at the same time a weather front is going to start a push income and you know what that will mean. at some point it could go off with a bang as that rain pushes in from the west. in scotland and northern england for a time, the best of the heat, if that's what you think about it, is likely to be in the south—east, but 31 degrees, that's the high 80s now in terms of fahrenheit. noticeably fresher to the north and west, if

that's what you're after, i can offer you something just a little bit into next week as low pressure continues to push in from the atlantic. 50 next week it is all change. a little bit fresher, there will be showers or longer spells of rain, great news for my garden, and i'm sure yours. ben. already, louise, thank you. that's the news at one. the news hello, i'm live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: australia or in the ascendancy in the first test at trent bridge. cameron norrie continues his quest to become king of queens later today —

king, but it has been annabel sutherland to spin the real start for an otherwise relatively dull morning. she is batting at number eight today. her century is the fastest ever test hunt poor australia woman. she normally opens, but is batting at number eight. she said your coach as she wants to move up said your coach as she wants to move up the batting order and if this performance doesn't do that, i don't know what well. australia have built this huge total. it is a bit of a surprise to have declared so far. he would expect them to do so relatively soon after lunch. by lunch on day two, england are already under a bit of pressure. this is a multiformat series. how vital is it that england get a result here? it vital is it that england get a result here?— vital is it that england get a result here? , ., ., ., result here? it is a multiformat series. result here? it is a multiformat series- it _ result here? it is a multiformat series. it consists _ result here? it is a multiformat series. it consists of _ result here? it is a multiformat series. it consists of one - result here? it is a multiformat series. it consists of one test l series. it consists of one test match, which is happening right now, followed by 3t20 matches and 11—day

match. should you win the test match, it will not hand to the series, but it will hand you a big advantage, notjust in terms of points, but you suspect mentally as well. england have a big job to do but if they can turn this around and win it, you could only imagine what that'll do for them going into the ball games. now, to a huge day in the world of basketball in more ways than one — with 7�* 5" first draft pick victor wembanyama gaining most of the headlines — the french teenager signing for the san antonio spurs. it's one of the most eagerly anticipated days in the nba calander, the worst—performing teams pick at the top of the draft where they have access to the best incoming talent. our correspodent nesta mcgregor joins me in the studio. lets talk more about victor wembanyama. 735, eight foot wingspan, a lot of people billing him as the next big star in the

mohammed ahmed has been added to the england men plasma squad for the second test in the ashes, replacing moeen ali. you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. let's get more now on relief for uk homeowners struggling with higher mortgage costs. the chancellor, jeremy hunt, says the largest banks and building societies have agreed to be more flexible with customers, making it easier for people to move to interest only payments. but there'll be no direct government support. it comes after the bank of england yesterday raised interest rates,

by half a percentage point to 5%, the highest in almost 15 years, in its ongoing efforts to curb inflation. this is what mr hunt had to say, after this morning's meeting. well, there are two groups of people that we are particularly worried about. the first are people who are at real risk of losing their homes because they fall behind in their mortgage payments. and the second are people who are having to change their mortgage because their fixed rate comes to an end and they're worried about the impact on theirfamily finances of higher mortgage rates. so today i agreed with the banks and the principal mortgage lenders three very important things. the first is that absolutely anyone can talk to their bank or their mortgage lender and it will have no impact whatsoever on their credit score. that's really important. a lot of people worry about that. the second is that if you are anxious about the impact on yourfamily finances and you change your mortgage to interest only, or you extend the term of your mortgage and you want to go back

to your original mortgage deal within six months, you can do so. no questions asked, no impact on your credit score. that i think is going to give people a lot of comfort and stop people worrying about having conversations with their banks when they are worried about their financial situation. and the final thing is for people who are at risk of losing their home in that extreme situation, the banks and mortgage lenders have a number of things in place. it's the last thing that they want to do to repossess a home. but in that extreme situation, they've agreed there will be a minimum 12 month period before there's a repossession without consent. finally, i just want to say is to everyone who is worried about the high inflation that we have in in this economy at the moment, tackling high inflation is the prime

minister and my number one priority. around £3,000 for the average household this year. and last. but we will do what it takes and we won't flinch in our resolve because we know that getting rid of high inflation for our economy is the only way that we can ultimately relieve pressure on family, finances and on businesses.
