These are flying ants being picked up these are flying ants being picked up on the radar. There is a lot going on out there. As i mentioned, not a lot of sunshine. Count yourself lucky if you have more than blue in the sky. A scattering of down pours, that will be slow moving, particularly in eastern parts this afternoon and into this evening. We could see a bit of rain, but theyre very hit and miss. Warm, humid feel, especially if you see some sunshine. Some Rain Pushing into cornwall, Devon And Pembrokeshire and some will be heavier tonight. Elsewhere the down pours will start to ease. We will keep a lot of cloud into tonight and it is going to be muggy out there. Misty in places too. The weekend picture, one spell of rain in southern England Clearing on saturday. Another System Bearing down on us from the west on sunday. In between the two, you may see some sunshine. Saturday and the wet start in southern england, that Rain Pushing across the South East to East Anglia before clearing in the afternoon. Elsewhere, a few sunny spells, but you can pick out the down pours. Further west tomorrow, parts of wales and Northern Western england and western scotland. Very hit and miss. Cooler in the south. In the evening the down pours fading and on sunday they will pop up again in Northern Ireland, scotland, northern england, but a shower is possible just about anywhere and thicker Cloud And Rain from that next system pushing towards wales and south West England on through the afternoon. That pushes east wards on through sunday. That means for some important sport, a chance of a shower at wimbledon. Rain clearing on saturday. A lot of cloud on sunday. And a very important match on sunday, Rain Moving in later on sunday. I doubt that will dampen the spirits. Thank you. A reminder of our top story.

So important these couple of days at saint Georges Park to switch off from all the emotion of whatever match they have one, whether it was against denmark, ukraine, when they got back late from rome, or that win against the germans. They love returning here for the sense of calm and obviously some very important work they do here as well. This is going to be the most important match of their careers.

It opened nine years i ago, and i remember coming to do a chat with Gareth Southgate at the time. He was the Fas Head of elite development, but his fingerprints were all over this complex. The blueprints for how they could make england better. That was the project. They looked at the french system, and also the euros in 2000. They spoke to the spanish and they way they brought all their teams together. And thats what the fa wants to do here at St Georges Park, from all the age groups through to the senior men, the womens teams as well, all on one site. Gareth southgate also helped to break down some of those barriers between club and country, and this vision that the fa had. It was a ten year plan, and they said lets get to at least the semifinals at this tournament, so they have exceeded that, and lets win the World Cup in 2022. Well, they are bang on course for that, arent they . And i think hats off to Gareth Southgate, the chairman, all those who pushed this through. They were ridiculed at the time, saying it was going to be a white elephant, all this investment, this huge tract of land in the middle of staffordshire, why would the players want to go there . The players love coming here because finally it is coming to fruition, all of the hard work and planning, and its notjust about the last all of the hard work and planning, and its not just about the last few weeks here in this tournament. Gareth southgates contribution to this England Success at the moment goes a lot deeper than that. It this England Success at the moment goes a lot deeper than that. Goes a lot deeper than that.

The previous estimate was between 1. 1 and 1. 3. It is to be expected i suppose after what professor Chris Whitty and the Prime Minister have told us this week, that infections are doubling every 90 days. The Department Of Health are telling us that they R Number, the rate at which covid infections are growing, has increased between 0. 2 and 0. 5. We have been hearing from cressida dick. Its not possible for any of us to understand to and imagine what they have been going through. I was able to speak to them earlier today and say again how very sorry i am for their loss and further pain and their loss and further pain and their suffering. All of us in the met are second, angered and devastated by this mans crimes. They are dreadful. And everyone in policing feels betrayed. Sarah was a fantastic, talented young woman with her whole life ahead of her, and that has been snatched away. She was hugely loved and she will be sorely missed. By so very many people. Ever since sarah went missing, the sole priority of my investigation team, Research Team and hundreds of others in the met and beyond was to find sarah and to bring the person who had committed these terrible crimes to justice as swiftly as we possibly could. In this, we are hugely indebted to Sarahs Family and to herfriends, and too many members of the public who helps the investigation in every single way they could, not least by making appeals and giving us information. No words can adequately express the profound Sadness And Anger and regret that everyone in the met feels about what happened to sarah. Today, as every day, our thoughts are with sarah, with herfamily, with her loved ones, and they always will be. Carolyn oakley from the Crown Prosecution Service also spoke outside the Old Bailey and said its still not clear what Motive Couzens had to murder Sarah Everard.

The murder of Sarah Everard prompted an outpouring of grief from women Jamie Klinger set up the organisation reclaim these streets she explained how the sarahs Killing Galvanised the group. The outpouring and how many people wanted the outpouring and how many people wanted to the outpouring and how many people wanted to see real change, and we want wanted to see real change, and we want the wanted to see real change, and we want the government to make it a real issue.

There is more legislation. There is more legislation about shutting down Protest Legislation about shutting down protest and our right to talk about the violence against us than there is to actually stop the violence. Following that guilty plea from Wayne Couzens The Independent office of Police Complaints has published an update in investigations into new Police Complaints connected to Sarah Everards death. In total the iopc has served 12 gross Misconduct Or Misconduct notices on Police Officers from several forces. They include an investigation into alleged met police failures to investigate two allegations of Indecent Exposure linked to Pc Couzens in london in february 2021. An investigation into alleged kent police failures to investigate an indecent Exposure Incident linked to Pc Couzens in the county in 2015. And an investigation into allegations that officers from a number of forces breached standards of professional behaviour while sharing information linked to the prosecution of Pc Couzens via a messaging app. The Nhs Covid App for england and wales could be updated to make it less sensitive. In the last week ofjune, more than 300,000 people were pinged and asked to self isolate, the highest weekly figure this year by a considerable margin. But the Labour Leader has expressed concern over changes to the app. Hes also called for a Bank Holiday if england win the euros in their match against italy this sunday. Im concerned about what im hearing about changes to the Track And Trace app. This feels like taking the batteries out of a smoke detector. That is never a good idea. It is an important protection. Im equally worried by the fact that driven by the high numbers being told to self isolate, stories of people deleting the app altogether. If the consequence of the prime Ministers Decision, that people delete the app, or Track And Trace is weakened, then that is a pretty good indicator that the prime Ministers Decision isnt a good one. What should the government do in relation to the app, just to be clear . In relation to the app, you shouldnt weaken the protection of the app. The underlying question is, why are we having this discussion . The answer to that question is because the Prime Minister is going to remove all of the protections at the same time. That is going to allow Thejohnson Variant to surge and rip through the population. We are likely to have millions of people asked to self isolate. As a result of that, people can see whats coming. And there are stories of people deleting the app. I dont want them to do that. If that is the prime Ministers Decision, then he is undermining the very Track And Trace system that he spent millions of pounds on. And just finally, the big match of course, on sunday, what are your views around a Bank Holiday if the result goes on the right direction for you . Well, look, i hope the result goes on the right direction. I remember the agony of euro 96. Ive got everything crossed for sunday. Gareth southgate and the team have shown incredible leadership, the very best, i think. We should have a national day of celebration by way of a Bank Holiday. Not sure if it should be this monday, i think it should be later on. Lets have a day to celebrate if they win, and i hope they will. Now on Bbc News its time to take a look at some of the stories making the headlines across the uk. Its emerged that the conservative candidate who was barred from becoming the Police Commissioner for Wiltshire In may because of an old conviction actually has a second conviction which would also have prevented him taking up thejob. Jonathon seed won the election but as he was disbarred a new votes being held in august. From swindon, Dan Obrien reports. We already knew that conservative Jonathan Seed had a 30 year old conviction for drink driving, that is what through the selection into disarray. They rose to be Police Commissioner are much stricter than for other politicians. If youve ever been committed of a imprisonable offence, you cant do thejob. He was never sent imprisonable offence, you cant do the job. He was never sent to prison, but the fact that he could have been this him for doing it even though he won the vote. What is new todayis though he won the vote. What is new today is that we learnt that there was notjust one but two offences that prevented him from taking up the role. At the same time he was convicted for drink driving, he was also convicted for failing to stop at the scene of a crash. The question is who knew what and when about all of this . I spoke to Jonathan Seed Last Night and he said again that he declared this to the conservative party, something that the tory Party Head Office disputes. But a source close toJonathan Seed says there is Documentary Evidence to show that he did tell them. They police investigation into this continues. In the meantime, the rerun of the election will be had in august at a cost to taxpayers of over £1 million. The extent of financial pressures facing councils across the uk as they emerge from the pandemic has been revealed in a special bbc investigation. The shared data Units Analysis of 171 authorities has found that councils hit by Falling Income and increased costs are set to make at least 1. 7 billion pounds worth of savings in the next year while also using more than 500 Million pounds worth of reserves to balance their books. Ten struggling councils in england are set to offset or borrow 290 Million pounds after being given exceptional permission from the ministry of housing, communities local government to try to remedy what it called their � unmanageable pressures. But despite making savings, local authorities are currently predicting a 3 Billion Pound Shortfall in their budgets by 2023 to 24. Earlier, we heard from three political reporters from across the regions in england starting with Joanne Gallagher in shrewsbury. Shropshire council is actually predicting a shortfall of nearly £49 Million predicting a shortfall of nearly £49 Million in predicting a shortfall of nearly £49 Million in the next three years.
