there have been many false starts in bringing a flying plane to market. next year, they reckon, is when you may see one driving along a street near you. phil mackie, bbc news, coventry. let s turn our attention to the weather. here s nick miller. there is a big area of high pressure sitting over us. there s a lot of cloud out there but because its high pressure it s dry and that s how we are expecting it to stay through this afternoon into tomorrow. things will change at the weekend, we ll get to that in the moment. 0ne weekend, we ll get to that in the moment. one or two showers around northern scotland. maybe drizzle out of the thickest cloud in east england and there are areas seeing hazy sunshine but with all of the cloud it s certainly all the cool side at the moment. temperatures mid teens, most lowerthan side at the moment. temperatures mid teens, most lower than that, 8 9 along parts of the coast of north east england. some of the cloud tonight is going to gradually
and into north east scotland, we re expecting cloudier skies, a chance of frost where it is clear will be towards northern ireland into northern england and southern scotland. friday is shaping up and it looks like a brighter sunnier day across many areas. still a lot of cloud across east anglia and the south east, whereas elsewhere a better chance of seeing the sunshine. some cloud building, squeezing out a few showers in central and eastern parts of scotland, and while overall it is looking like a warmer day tomorrow, with the cloud towards east anglia and the south east, this is where temperatures will be on the cool side again. there will be breeze too. a change into the weekend, look at this. low pressure, weather fronts, that is rain heading our way. of course, it is welcome in many places, though it has to be timed with the weekend, doesn t it. it looks as if on saturday we will see some rain gradually pushing in across more of scotland and northern ireland during the day. event
you re watching bbc news, i m 0lly foster with the latest from the bbc sport centre. ben stokes says it s an honour to become the england test captain. he takes over from joe root who stood down earlier this month after five years in the role. his first series in charge will be agianst new zealand injune. let s speak to the cricket commenatator alison mitchell. were there any other viable options? not too many options that is for sure, because of the poor run of form the england team have had. there has been so many players in and out. when you look at the line up and out. when you look at the line up there are very few options of senior, well respected players who are guaranteed their place there the side. and than scenario muddied somewhat by the fact stuart broad and james anderson being left of the last tour. they will come back into
that were on show. and this is where, of course, after some clear skies overnight we had most of the early sunshine, whereas the earlier satellite picture indicates where we had all of this cloud, and a lot of this is hanging on through the day. just some hazy sunny spells coming through. despite all of that cloud, though, most of us are not going to see any rain because it is high pressure right across the uk at the moment. there are just a few showers around towards the far north of scotland and northern isles. maybe from the thickest cloud in yorkshire and down to east anglia you may see a little drizzle, the cloud holding on for many. south wales and southern england, it will thin at times to allow some hazy brightness to come through, as it will in northern ireland, the further north you are, in northern england across southern parts of scotland. we started with the sunshine in northern scotland some cloud building. for the most part, temperatures close to the mid teens, but it wi
a tremendous cricket brain, and i think maybe we willjust see him more adventurous captaincy on the field, but he has that talismanic aura about him in terms of leadership, by dint of the way he plays, and everything he has achieved. think he will be a good people person, a good manager manager which is another skill, because of the journey he has had and all the ups and down, places him well to try and understand and put himself in the shoes of some of those round him which isjust as important. most important is going to be can england put together big partnerships and improve the batting which has been the huge problem, and one captain alone can t change that. in that respect, joe root will have a big part to place, just for his batting. what about the dynamic of sharing a dressing room with a former captain. they are great mat mate, that will help, but surely stokes will want to be his own man? i think he will be. i thinkjoe root is the kind of personality who will
