that they'd made offensive comments. it comes after the party leader, nigel farage, disowned them on bbc question time on friday night. labour and the conservatives have criticised mr farage for failing to show leadership in his response to allegations of racism within reform uk. mr farage claimed that undercover video of an activist using a racist slur against the prime minister was �*a total set up' designed to smear his party. the co—deputy leader of reform has been speaking to bbc radio 4's pm. he said the party has made some mistakes. of course we're in an insurgent party. we've had to find candidates in a hell of a hurry, particularly when rishi sunak deliberately called the election very short notice for the election very short notice for the insignificant to wrong foot reform for that we've been running to catch up with the electoral timetable. it seems that we have made some mistakes but we've corrected those mistakes to the extent possible at this stage by dropping those candidates. it would also seem that the channel 4 undercover agent, also seem that the channel 4 undercoveragent, i also seem that the channel 4 undercover agent, i think it was an

the electoral commission and we will get to the bottom of that. the code deputy _ will get to the bottom of that. the code deputy leader of reform uk speaking to my colleague on radio or. with the background — here's our political correspondent damian grammaticas. caught on tape, a canvaser of a reform uk racially abuses rishi sunak. nigel farage now says this was a set up. channel 4. that it was rigorous, impartialjournalism. the individual, andrew parker is also heard saying people crossing the channel in small boats should be shot at. the leader of reform uk. nigel farage. farage now wants electoral and broadcasting regulators his claim, that it amounts to scandalous election interference. this was a comedy act, but it was designed to hurt us and sadly, sadly, some people believe it. we have nothing to do with people like him. and he has nothing to do with us. but he was also questioned about three of his candidates. the party now says they've been dropped, though it's too late to take their names off ballot papers. rishi sunak out today. he's already said the comments about him were shocking and ministers in his government are now speaking up to. there is a real pattern of racist and misogynistic views in the party, and i think it's absolutely right to call it out. he's notjust the prime minister, he is the father of two young girls who should not have to put up with this kind of racial abuse. the labour leader was out meeting veterans this morning for armed forces day. he has said he shares rishi sunak�*s disgust at the racism. his shadow chancellor today added criticism of mr farage, saying leadership was about setting the culture and standards for your party. if anyone here, whether they are a candidate or an activist or a volunteer or a party member, used that sort of language, they would be flung out of the party because we have the highest standards of our candidates and of our party members as well. and this was the snp leader on the campaign trail in scotland today. i deplore this language. i think it's illustrative of what reform represents, and that's why i'm so concerned about the rise of reform in our society. so nigel farage disputes some of the claims, but he's had to distance himself from some individuals too, facing increasing scrutiny of his party, his canvassers, his candidates and his leadership. damian grammaticas, bbc news. let's break down what is happening with reform. we got the issue of the candidates and a campaigner. let's start with the candidates. this candidates and a campaigner. let's start with the candidates.— start with the candidates. this is somethin: start with the candidates. this is something that _ start with the candidates. this is something that nigel _ start with the candidates. this is something that nigel farage - start with the candidates. this is | something that nigel farage was asked about when he was appearing on the bbc. he was asked about remarks at these candidates are alleged to have made any distance himself from them and said there's nothing to do with me. it's too late to take it them off the ballot paper. the deadline has passed out there on the ballot papers in their respective areas. if they were to be elected they would serve as independents. when the party was asked whether it was withdrawing support for what it wanted people to do it said it does still want people who supported reform uk to vote for those candidates because it was all about the share of the vote and that is quite important party going forward. it's a slightly unusual position but thatis it's a slightly unusual position but that is what it's saying. i should add that nigel farage has objected to the questions that he was being asked on the bbc appearance. he said the bbc question time, which is what the bbc question time, which is what the programme was, the question time audience was rigged. the bbc has come back and rejected that claim and said that they were several different parties including reform. that's the issue with that candidates talk moving onto the campaigner. we heard from ben habib reporting the line that nigel has said that potentially the campaigner was in actor. just to clarify that for us. , . , was in actor. just to clarify that for us. , .,, _, ., for us. this was undercover and filmin: for us. this was undercover and filming done

racist remark about the prime minister. nigel farage has condemned the comment but he very quickly said this is an actor, i think it's a set up. and that's a line that's been coming from reform ever sense. they have indeed actually complained to the electoral commission and to ofcom. channel 4 is standing by its journalism and saying this absolutely is not the case and there was rigorous and impartial journalism involved for the nigel farage says that he thinks there is something very wrong here and this was a set up. something very wrong here and this was a set urn-— was a set up. thank

editorial in the influential new york times newspaper, calling on him to drop out, saying it's in the best interests of america. it followed his widely criticised performance in thursday's tv debate with donald trump — when he stumbled over words, and at times seemed to lose track of what he was saying mr biden remains defiant — at his first campaign rally since the debate, he told supporters in north carolina that the us itself was at stake in november's election — calling his opponent a genuine threat to democracy. directly addressing concerns about his age, mr biden told the rally he'd been knocked down but would get back up. let's speak to our north america correspondent david willis. joe biden really adamant that he will be the democratic candidate. absolutely adamant for that were not expecting to hear from joe absolutely adamant for that were not expecting to hearfrom joe biden today but he is busy nonetheless put up today but he is busy nonetheless put up trying to reassure the big—money donors, these are the people finance the multi—million dollar us presidential election campaigns that he is up to the job. presidential election campaigns that he is up to thejob. he's in new york today, he's going to the hamptons before returning to david tonight. there is concern amongst those big—money donors who look at the viability now ofjoe biden, given that shambolic performance in atlanta on thursday night. there have been called behind the scenes for him to withdraw from the race. you mentioned the new york times, the leading newspaper in the city thatis the leading newspaper in the city that is visiting today, ironically, calling forjoe biden to withdraw from the race saying it will be a reckless gamble as a editorial put it were he to stay as a candidate and urging him to move aside and make way for somebody younger who could really take on donald trump. those sentiments have been echoed in the last few hours by another leading newspaper here in the united states, the chicago tribune. you mentioned joe biden is a robust performance in north carolina yesterday for that you're actually right, he bounced back quite spectacularly for the taking to the stage, seeming energised, anything but the shambling old man we saw on thursday night to tell his loyal supporters that yes, he wasn't as young as he once was, he wasn't a great debater as he once had been but he was an honest man and he told the truth. whether that goes down well with the very anxious democratic candidates we will have to wait and see. we have seen party grandees, people like barack obama coming out to try and tamp down the flames to say look, there is a long way to run, four months still to go to the selection for that but the concern is palpable.— to the

changes to the side that went through to the last 16 top of group c. a team is never quite as poor as people may think and never quite as good as people might think. you're probably about 5% off where you like to be. therefore you've got to be very careful not to throw everything out the window. and lose things that you are doing well and lose continuity. onto cricket and india are the new t20

someone, not to say who. it was 6—5 and he made a good servant hit not a lucky return winner and a set is over. i think on grass more than other service areas it's unpredictable for the a little bit unpredictable moments. that's where it's a bit tough for that last year was great and i want to try to do more this year. world champion max verstappen will start from pole position in his red bull

candidate saeed jalili and his rival massoud pezeshkian — who's seen as reformist. both failed to secure a majority in the country's presidential election. the vote is to replace president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash last month. siavash ardalan from bbc persian — explained the differnces between the two remaining candidates. he believes the biggest issue facing around of the us sanctions which is desert stated that countries economy for years now. where as the hardliner, ultraconservative politician who is always had ambitions to become president, he is as far right as you can get in iranian politics. he believes it's an opportunity for iran to exploit its domestic potential through alliances also with china and russia to become a powerhouse on its own term, to become a very strong actor. he believes he can pull this off. he wouldn't even really bother engaging with the west you are trying to reach reproach mark. where he thinks as we had the nuclear deal back in 2016 whereas pezeshkian thinks as we had the nuclear deal back in 2016, there should be some engagement and diplomacy, seem as far as foreign policy is concerned. this goes back to the issue of the hijab thing which sparked nationwide protests and they have gored the morality police in moral gored the morality police immoral and they believe they should be easing up on these kinds of severe draconian restrictions on women's rights and civil liberties. whereas jalili doesn't want to have anything to do that, he thinks if anything, iran needs more strict social and religious restrictions in place. so there is quite a tangible difference between these candidates. we have seen the turnout for these candidates so far has been extremely low. people are not voting, they are protesting, right? will they vote in this second round in order to stop someone who is so hard line such as jalili? it is the million dollar question that everyone is asking today, it is the of every asking today, it is the of many discussions about iranians who have used their vote as an act of rebellion. do they want to send a resounding no message to the clerical establishment? or would they rather have a hard—line president? for many iranians there is no difference between the politicians that emerge from the islamic republic because none of them they believe can really bring about any major change. so even talking about these differences, in the view of many iranians is it seditious, it is a waste of time, it's not going to bring about change. but some people might think, ok, we have delivered our message, we told the supreme leader that we don't want the system. in the second round at least we can do is stop a hardlinerfrom making things go from bad to worse. much more on our website and looking forward to that second vote taking place on friday. the second full day of the glastonbury festival is well and truly underway. two hundred thousand people are expected to

all sort of conversation about what is going to happen on that stage in the next 25—30 minutes after coldplay come out. the last sunday headline here back in 2016 michael evis who runs the festival came on and do wedded with coldplay, singing my way with chris martin. perhaps that will happen for the —— do wet. enormous number of artists let's see what happens. i could tell you, everybody here

these wristbands have been given out. you have no idea what's going to happen once the lights go down and coldplay hit the stage. i secretly have tiny bit of an idea. i saw coldplay live in london a year orso saw coldplay live in london a year or so ago. there was something similar. not quite the same but essentially what happens is, i think the wristbands light up different colors. it ends up being this absolutely beautiful sea of different colours of reds and blues and yellows. yellow being quite key because yellow is a famous old coldplay song i was desperate to get my hands onjuan. just in the last ten minutes they were giving out the last few i'm very lucky to have gotten a hold of this one. we will see... the sun is setting. as it gets darker we will have lasers, lights, led lights. i think it is good to be spectacular. coldplay are obviously one of the most successful bands in the world whatever you think of their music, whether you love it or god forbid hate it the one thing we know about coldplay is they are absolutely fantastic live. they deliver different sets every time. they will be really thinking about the set and the surprises they are going to offer us

north of the country again it will turn quite chilly with temperatures in single digit. a woman like to come across the southeast up the ridge of high pressure building in for part two of the weekend. that should kill our showers but will introduce slightly cooler northwesterly wind and cloud for part two of the weekend. that should kill our showers but will introduce slightly cooler northwesterly wind and cloud. we start off with cloud of the southeast, some sunshine early on and looks like guys will turn cloudy through the afternoon. could be thick enough for the odd shower here and there mainly across the spine of the country. probably the best of any sunshine in counties, 20 or 21 degrees foot of a little bit cooler than we had today. england play slovakia later on sunday in germany. looks like a bit of a bond restart for that may be showers around before it turns drier towards the end of the game. as we move through sunday might do it at night showers fade away. clear spells

before polling day sir keir starmer has urged voters to give his party "a clear mandate" for change. the labour leader says the conservatives could still win if "we take our foot off the gas". reform uk drops three election candidates for offensive comments they made in the past. the party's leader nigel farage told the bbc he "wouldn't want anything to do with them". iran will hold a run—off election after hardline candidate saeed jalili and rival massoud pezeshkian, who is seen as reformist, both failed to secure a majority in the presidential race. the second round is set for the 5th ofjuly. and coldplay are gearing up ready for a record fifth headline set at glastonbury, after pop star dua lipa raised the roof off the pyramid stage with her performance on friday. as we near polling day in the uk general election, let's take a closer look at one of the issues that has dominated among the parties — immigration. stopping the boats has been a major theme of the debates, with party leaders clashing over how it should be achieved. it's an issue that's particularly hard to ignore in dover, where people who've risked their lives to cross the channel in the boats, are brought to shore. our correspondent simon jones has this report. the channel, the world's busiest shipping lane. there are no constituencies at sea, this stretch of water is not home to any voters, but what happens here has become a key election battleground because of the issue of small boats. fisherman matt coker regularly sees firsthand what's happening. the last one, i think i see had about 70 or 80 people on board, and that was a good ten or 11m long. pretty dangerous. well, they are, because they're massively overloaded. i mean, even a dinghy of that size, it's really playing with danger. when the weather is calm, you can stand on top of those famous white cliffs of dover and see the border force and rnli bring groups of migrants to shore. some channel watchers even have clickers and literally count people in. it's become a very visible thing, which helps explain why politicians have become so exercised by the issue. so far this year, around 13,000 migrants have arrived by small boat, but that figure is dwarfed by the number of migrants coming legally. last year, net migration, the difference between the number of people arriving in the uk and leaving, stood at 685,000. at this cafe in dover, migration in all its forms is certainly a hot topic. if they didn't let them in the country, you wouldn't have the problems we got. what problems? erm, housing, cost—of—living and everything like that. there's too many of them being brought in on our money, really. it's been going on for such a long time and nobody�*s solved it. the cafe's owner, heather horne, used to work looking after child asylum—seekers. she thinks politicians are too quick to scapegoat. i think they use the immigrations to deflect real problems that we have in england. such as? as homeless people, rates, the price of everything. rishan, who came to the uk in the back of a lorry aged 17 and now has uk citizenship, is preparing to vote for the first time in a general election. now training to be a nurse, she says all the focus on immigration, particularly illegal immigration, can be dehumanising. it's always on the negative side. it's always in the way of the illegal, illegal, as if someone comes as a refugee is being like a criminal or trying to do something different than what it's supposed to be, rather than human, basic things than just someone seeking safety in this country. so i guess it gives me a feel of upsetting and annoyed. the main political parties agree that people should not be risking their lives in the channel on small boats. immigration is an issue, perhaps more than most, where there appears to be clear blue water between the parties. simon jones, bbc news. dozens of firefighters, police and mountain rangers have joined what authorities had hoped would be a "massive search" on tenerife for missing british teenagerjay slater. they had also called for experienced volunteers to come and help, but by10am, fewer than a dozen members of the public had arrived at the meeting point. the 19—year—old was last seen on the 17thjune in a national park on a remote part of the spanish island. police confirmed that today's search would go over much of the same ground as previous ones, but that it would be more intensive and detailed, making use of the extra personnel. our correspondent nick garnett is on tenerife and has the latest on the search. the search started earlier on today and involved around 25 to 30 fire officers, police, civil protection officers and around half a dozen members of the public. the call had gone out yesterday asking for people who had mountain experience or were experienced walkers to come and offer their support. only half a dozen did come. one of them was a british tiktoker, one was a private detective, and there were a couple who live on the island who wanted to offer their help and support. they say that they are doing what they can. they'd seen the news that jay had disappeared, and they wanted to help as much as they possibly could. they're searching the same areas that they have been searching since he disappeared 13 days ago now, and they've been in this valley here, right the way through the search and indeed today have been back in there. they say that they're going further and deeper than they've been able to before, and therefore it is searching new ground and making sure that the ground that they have searched is completely clear. at the moment, though, we've still not heard that they have found any clues whatsoever as to how he disappeared. now, the man who's leading the inquiry is a man called cypriano martin. he explained what the terrain is like. translation: there are difficult areas, and we've given _ instructions for people not to risk their own safety. but there's something we need to make clear, which is that any area we don't go to, well, jay won't have gone there either. you have to think about it logically. if i see there's vegetation in front of me and i'm going to get spiked and i can't get through, then he won't have gone through that area either. we have to be logical, obviously. can you reach the sea directly from the area you are searching? you can reach the sea. in fact, last saturday i went along the whole path. there are old paths which are only occasionally used because it's a cliff with very little attraction for sporting purposes, but you can reach the beach along them. so i reached the beach. we didn't find anything. it's a path that goes above and not along the bottom of the cliff. it has drops and what's needed are ropes to get down. and we also know he was not equipped for that. how difficult are the difficult areas? there are rocky drops that you cannot get beyond. you can only get down with a harness and ropes. the people searching that spot today will have to turn around, i think, because they don't have the necessary equipment. and anyway, the best that jay could do was simply to walk. so the search goes on and it will continue to go on in the same numbers, doing the same thing that they have done so far, hoping to get that final clue that will unlock what happened to jay slater. let's return to the situation in iran — as the country prepares to hold a run—off election next friday, after no candidate achieved the 50% of the vote that is needed to win the election. the vote is to replace president ebrahim raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash last month — but the election has seen exceptionally low turnout. i've been speaking to dr shahram kholdi — teaching fellow in history and politics of the middle east at the university of waterloo in ontario. he explaimed the low turnout is a demonstration of a lack of belief in what the election stands for. as opposed to what some of the apologists of the regime, especially experts who are based in iran, would have tried to depict this, "circus", as many people call it, on social media as some sort of a fatigue of the people with the way, uh, uh, the affairs of the government and i would say bad governance. and, you know, widespread corruption, has been really affecting the livelihood of millions of iranian peoples, pushing a majority of them to the poverty line or below that. i would say that at this point, what we see is not the kind of democratic fatigue that you see in european democratic countries. we see disaffection of a majority of the people who have, especially in the aftermath of the 2022 woman life freedom rising, have completely become frustrated with this regime and the manner by which it is handling their lives. so this is an active boycott then — it's not so much apathy, as you were saying, as we see in potentially western countries, we've already covered the uk and the us elections. this is a boycott. will it be effective, do you think, because ultimately we saw such huge protests when it came following the death of mahsa amini, and arguably it didn't really make much of a difference. will iranian authorities listen to this? absolutely. i doubt that the iranian authorities, especially the supreme leader who calls the shots, would really care about the turnout. he said, of course, that the turnout is a matter of legitimacy of the regime. but i think the regime and the supreme leader and his office, they have very much brought down the bar. and that is why they are literally celebrating the fact that there has been such a low turnout, because i believe they had braced themselves for even a lower turnout than we saw what would perhaps create a more bombastic situation against this regime. is that the, the new president, whether it is pezeshkian orjalili, they continue to falter in terms of bettering the economic lot of the iranian people, especially if donald trump becomes president and renews his maximum pressure campaign of sanctions. and then i would believe that we would have to see. it is inevitable that we would see... a sporadic risings and rebellious behaviour by the people. and this president is really up for a very rough ride, whoever it's going to be. india has ordered safety inspections of all its airports after the deadly collapse of a roof at delhi airport. one person

expected to be similar to those before the pandemic. but there has been significant disruption in recent years, including air traffic chaos on the august bank holiday last year. our transport correspondent katy austin has been looking at what the industry's doing to ensure it can cope with the number of travellers expected in the coming weeks. everyone wants to make memories on holiday, but not ones like these. we've just been told that our flights have been cancelled. just not being given any information as to whether or not we're even flying today. last august bank holiday, an it failure at the uk's main air traffic services provider, nats, left three quarters of a million passengers facing cancellations or delays, and there have been recent smaller scale disruptions to air travel. take the power cut at manchester airport last weekend, or flights cancelled at gatwick because of an air traffic control staff shortage. after the quiet pandemic times, air travel this summer is expected to be pretty much as busy as it was in 2019, despite higherfares. most flights happen absolutely fine, but there's not much spare space in the system, so if something does go wrong, it can have a big impact very quickly. this place plays a crucial role. the control centre in hampshire, where much of the uk's air traffic is managed. so, over here we have heathrow airport — final approach. it was here that the it failure happened last august. nats insists the same problem won't happen again. it says improvements have been made, including in communication with airlines and airports, and it's as well resourced as it can be for the summer. the priority has absolutely been in making sure that we're ready for the demand that's coming in the summer. there is no organisation that can confirm nothing will happen, whether it's a weather event or a technical event or somebody else's technical event. but what i can say is communication is absolutely key to make sure people know what's going on and that we manage the recovery of any issue or event as quickly as possible. for airlines, strengthening their operations to minimise the impact of any problems, whatever the cause, is the big focus. including easyjet. we control all of our flying from here. so for all of the uk, all of europe, all of switzerland, it's all controlled here. we were allowed in to its new control centre at luton, where several teams, including crew rostering and maintenance, have been brought together. putting in every kind of resilience measure we can think of. so everything that we've learned from the past, everything that we learned from last year, things that we learnt from pre—covid. so, looking at making sure we've got enough standby crew, making sure we've got plenty of standby aircraft and they're in the right places, making sure we've got gaps in the programme so that we can pick up any delays that are happening. extra customer service staff are also being introduced at bigger airports. it's impossible to prevent any problems happening. the industry hopes it's done enough to cope with whatever comes along and recover quickly, so it can be a summer to remember for the right reasons. katy austin, bbc news. with 50 million album sales and six grammy nominations, nickelback were once one of the most successful bands in the world — but they also became known as one of the most hated. at one point, there was a campaign to stop them returning to london — and canadian police even threatened to punish drink drivers by forcing them to listen to the band's songs on repeat. now a new film examines why it became fashionable to dislike nickelback — and how they felt about the criticism. the film's producer benjones explains. # never made it as a wise man. # i couldn't cut it as a poor man stealing... nickelback are the 11th best—selling band in music history. they've just completed a north american tour. they've just finished a uk and european tour. in fact, you could say that they've never been more popular than they are right now. so anything that some people love, there will always be a smaller section of society who don't like them. we went through a period of time where everybody loved us, but then there's going to be a period of time where everybody doesn't love you. but it still sucks, though. of course it sucks. but that's ok. and it really sucked in the beginning because... hey, i make great spaghetti. not everybody likes my spaghetti. yeah. i think my spaghetti is good. you know, when it comes down to all the crap that we get, and we do get more than any band out there, um, i don't know if anyone would ever, anyone would contest that. benjones, who lives in dorset, has spent the last six years making a film on nickelback, finding out why people love and hate the band. he's been a radio broadcaster for 30 years and still has a regular radio show. his film hate to love launched on netflix. i find it a little bit weird that i've sort of made a film i while in the spare room l in my house in highcliffe. i wasn't a film—maker- when i started this process, so i might argue i'm not at the end of it, but i certainly— feel i've learnt a lot. i remember when chad came to my house and he said, listen, i've got...i've got this tune. i'm not so sure about it, butjust play it to you. and he grabbed my acoustic, i heard it, i'm like, ah, it sounds like a pretty good song. once the song went out and it went to radio stations, and all of a sudden people started playing it. then it was just everywhere. # you remind me of what i really am... | i was the very first person to play| nickelback on the radio in the uk, something that some of my friends had never forgiven me _ for back in 2001. we stayed in touch. they would come on my radio show and, you know, we'd hang out- when they were in the uk. and then i didn't see them fora numberof years, i and i got a phone call out- of the blue to say, would i be i interested in sort of helping them| put together an epk for an album? and i remember being sati in a meeting room pitching this idea, going, well, - you know, we could do that, but it's a bit dull. but why don't we tackle i the elephant in the room? what's that? it's that you're the most| hated band in the world. and yeah, that moment sort of hung in the air for a while, _ and there was sort of a nervousness that maybe i completely— overcooked this opportunity. and they were like, yeah, sure. why do some people love them and why do some people hate them? _ and that's really i the notion of the film. at the turn of the century, nickelback were huge, but around the same time, what we now call social media began to take off. that led to more and more negative comments towards the canadian rock band. nobody picks up a guitar to be in the most hated band in the world, to be the most hated solo artist, to be the most hated songwriters in the world. it used to be really bad, you know, with the way it would make me feel, we'd try and laugh it off. you could... you can laugh off about 90% of it. and some of it, it hurts. it doesn't feel great. you don't have to be a fan of this band to enjoy our film. _ and i think in this day and age, with so much bad news, - with so much negativity, - with so much online anger, like... just be kind, right? it isa it is a good message. it does sound rather harsh, what they went through. rather harsh, what they went throu . h. ., rather harsh, what they went throu:h. ., ., through. love them or loathe them, let me know- _ i want to show you a unique event from the us, the greasy pole contest, which has been held annually in the waters just off gloucester, in massachusetts. first held in 1931, the aim is to make it all the way to the end of the slippery pole, to grab the flag — 45 feet, or thirteen metres away. quite a few valiant efforts — but success is rare. but it's not as impossible as it seems — take a look at this. this is max allen, making it all the way to the end. he made it back to shore to a hero's welcome. the competition continues until sunday when the overall champion will be crowned. and thousands of people have taken to the streets of london to take part in the annual pride parade. attendees in the procession brought the colour and energy with all kinds of outfits ranging from carnival costumes to gym gear, with crowds cheering them on along the length of the parade route. it's estimated 500 lgbtq+ community groups and businesses took part, comprising more than 32,000 people. let's turn to glastonbury as the pyramid stage awaits. coldplay�*s historic fifth performance and around 200,000 people, thousands of people, enjoying the lovely weather at the glastonbury festival, where we are expecting coldplay to kick off their set imminently. historic set. hello there. it was a fine end to the day across much of the south of the country, with warm, sunny spells. further north there has been more cloud around with some splashes of rain. tomorrow i think a generally cloudy picture, i think for most of us with little bits of sunshine here and there, mainly across the southwest of the country. it's all courtesy of these weather fronts which have been moving in during the day today, affecting the central swathe of the uk. there have been weakening though, as they're sinking southwards. so overnight i think many parts of england and wales will see variable cloud, the odd spot of rain on it. further north i think a drier picture of variable cloud, some clear spells and where skies clear in the north of the country, then again it's going to turn quite chilly with temperatures in single digits, but a warmer night to come across the south east. so we have this ridge of high pressure building in for part two of the weekend. that should kill off any showers, but it will introduce a slightly cooler north westerly winds and quite a bit of cloud. we start off with cloud in the southeast, maybe the odd shower, some sunshine early on, but then it looks like skies will turn cloudier through the afternoon and again could be thick enough for the odd shower here and there, mainly across the spine of the country. probably the best of any brightness towards southern counties, 20 or 21 degrees there. otherwise a little bit cooler than we had today. england play slovakia later on sunday in germany. looks like it's going to be a bit of a thundery start, maybe some showers around before it turns a bit drier towards the end of the game. so as we move through sunday night, any showers fade away. we see some clear spells developing and under clear skies could see a little bit of mist and fog developing and it will turn quite cool. temperatures in single digits out of town. where we hold on to cloud, then ten to 12 degrees. but we look to the north west, outbreaks of rain pushing into scotland and northern ireland as we head into monday, courtesy of a new weather front, which will push in off the atlantic during the course of the day. so it starts quite cool but bright on monday morning. across central and eastern parts of the country, the sunshine looks like it will fade as this weather front continues to move eastwards, introducing cloud and some splashes of rain here and there. so a rather grey day to come, i think. best of any sunshine will be towards the far southwest, and pretty disappointing temperatures for this time of year, 14 to 19 or maybe 20 degrees. not much change as we head through the new week. it looks like low pressure sticks close by. most of the rain will be to the north and west of the country. drier the further south and east you are. live from london. this is bbc news. the labour leader sir keir starmer urges
