Should thin and break with some sunshine developing, but then that threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms, hail could be mixed in and some torrential downpours through parts of the midlands, wales and the south west of england. Again, this area most prone, but there could be one or two elsewhere. Temperatures about 16 to 23 degrees again on saturday, so fine in between any of those showers and some sunshine again in the north, which is going to be the picture on sunday. Again for Northern Ireland and western scotland, sunny, warm conditions here, but cool and cloudy around the North East coast. Further south, though, those showers and thunderstorms by sunday are going to be heavier and more frequent as well. Could be some frequent hail and lightning. Into next week things turn cooler and more unsettled. A distinct autumnal and fairly windy spell of weather on the way. Bye for now. This is bbc news.

Violence against women. The World Cup has flicked off into town in the uk where it was invented. Lets catch up with all the sports headlines. Good evening. Pep guardiola says hes expecting a tough match when Manchester City welcome arsenal to the etihad this weekend. Its a clash between the top two teams from the past two Premier League seasons and in the last Campaign City were unable to beat the gunners in either the league or the community shield. Its another unbelievable team that defends really well. They dont concede chances, they dont concede goals. They are very good in many aspects. The biggest challenge, Title Contenders the last two seasons, they are there, and they were there for many years because they created that squad, a young team, so its another good test, but it was in september. So i like to see the team, many things we are better than the past. Chelsea start the defence of their womens super League Crown later against aston villa. The blues are looking for a sixth
