So stuck in a rut. and again, those temperatures, similar values to what we ve seen all week, 11 to 14 celsius in the north, perhaps 17 or 18 in the south and east. that will push its way into the south and east during the afternoon. sunny spells, blustery showers, particularly across north and west facing coasts, so stuck in a rut. and again, those temperatures, similar values to what we ve seen all week, 11 to 14 celsius in the north, perhaps 17 or 18 in the south and east. don t expect that much in the way of significant change as we move into sunday. again, the wind direction, in fact, strengthening. more showers to come. high pressure is desperately trying to build, but it is going to keep us waiting, so no significant change for the second half of the weekend either. best of the sunshine likely for england and wales.
Greatest most complicated operation ever. winston churchill wanted to be there. prime minister churchill said he wanted to board a navy ship to get a close up view of the allied props hitting the beach. eisenhower told churchill they could not take that risk. churchill told an exasperated eisenhower he would board a navy ship and there was nothing the american general could do to stop him. and that was true. eisenhower wouldn t stop churchill from boarding a british navy ship but the king of england could. when king george heard he was going to get on the ship, the king wanted to be on the ship too. and then, prime minister

Out of england s final euro 2024 squad. hello there and welcome along to the programme. we re only a few days into the t20 cricket world cup, but we could be looking at one of the shocks of the tournament after the co hosts, the usa, stunned pakistan after the match went to a dramatic super over. the hosts set the tone from the off steven taylor, taking this superb catch as they restricted pakistan to 159 for seven in their innings. and the chase went all the way to the final ball. nitish kumar hitting a boundary to take the game to the super over, much to pakistan s frustration. and the usa went on to successfully defend 18 to win their second game of the tournament and spark wild celebrations here in dallas.
Really comparing to the nba finals for the first game tonight and the nhl as well. for england fans, if pakistan are wobbling, does it help the england prospects? reading so i think england will be confident anyway but it s always great to see a shock and it s always interesting but i don t think it will be a big impact on england s hopes. hello there. all week the weather story has been stuck in repeat. it s been cool and showery to the far north west further south we ve seen some sunshine and we had that on thursday, a maximum of 20 degrees with some sunny spells and lighter winds in london. but further north in shetland, a brisk west to north westerly wind at times, sharp showers, just a maximum of ten celsius, 50 fahrenheit. now, we re going to see more widespread rain to start the day on friday with this weather front sinking its way south and east. it ll be clearing scotland during the morning rush hour, leaving a trail of sharp showers following on behind. there s our weather front moving out of aberdeenshire, across the scottish borders,
