north—west england, a bit too much cloud across the south—east and certainly more of a breeze with showery outbreaks of rain, gales perhaps across the northern isles through the night. here we keep double figures, elsewhere quite a chilly start with low single figures for one or two of us. into friday, we will certainly chase cloud around. if you have mist and fog it will lift but the cloud might linger, perhaps spots a favour to the east of the pennines, a few glances of sunshine. outbreaks of rain into scotland and northern ireland but stays relatively mild with double figures. further south, highs of seven or eight. don't expect too much insignificant change as we move into the weekend but it might get colder. still under this influence of high pressure but with wind direction changing slightly we tap into a cool tool of air from the near continent. that will make a difference. the weather front in the west taking its time to arrive. first thing saturday, chilly start

with temperatures down to or below freezing. mist and four could linger for some and if that happens across southern and eastern england temperatures more subdued. we keep that mild air in place. saturday into sunday, don't expect significant change to quickly. relatively quiet, but something a little wetter potentially into the middle parts of the week. thanks, louise. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are, goodbye. hello, and welcome to sportsday — i'm gavin ramjaun. a new benchmark for emma raducanu — but it's a five—time grand slam champion up next. a crucial game for manchester united at old trafford — boss ruben amorim feels tonight

champion emma raducanu sealed her place in round three, albeit playing through the pain to do so. she needed treatment to beat her off—court pal amanda anisimova, making it through to the third round for the first time in the women's singles in melbourne. our tennis correspondent russell fuller told me did well, considering her lack of match practice this year. it was a good performance by emma raducanu again, her only second match of the season, and she was playing a player who is higher ranked than she is in amanda anisimova, who is a world number 35. it looked midway through the first set as if it may be the american would have a bit too much powerfor emma raducanu, she had a great chance to move forward in front, but as we've seen so many times for her, when she feels like she is being well has the ability to fight back from difficult positions, 15 games in a row to take that second set, and won the second set 7—5. but what was where the in the second set, she timeout for a left problem —— leg problem after three games. it did

the weekend, but those results were on the road, and oblates, united have not fared well here at home at old trafford, in fact, they have lost three successive matches in the premier league at home, 15 in the table, and if they lose tonight, it would be the first time they would've lost or top—flight games in a row since 1930, so the pressure is definitely on ruben amorim post up there are problems with player availability, vehicle adult suspended after that red card, jonny evans, victor lindelof and others out injured, and it doesn't look like marcus rashford will feature again. they have to keep in mind their track record again southampton is excellent, unbeaten in their last 15 premier league games against them, they would hook to my shut again tonight because otherwise serious questions might be asked of ruben amorim if they slip up on this potential banana skin.— potential banana skin. flipping the coin and looking _ potential banana skin. flipping the coin and looking at _ potential banana skin. flipping the coin and looking at southampton, | coin and looking at southampton, they are in trouble, rooted at the
