6:31 pm
as we had through saturday. we are all in the same boat for sunday. fresh weather conditions. sunshine and showers, the bulk of the show was for scotland and northern ireland, some of them heavy with hail. showers for the north of england and wales. the driest weather towards east anglia and the south—east. forget about the temperatures reaching the low 20s. we will be back to normal, temperatures around 15 celsius in london. the start of next week looks unsettled. and that's bbc news at six. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday this friday night. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on the programme... can anyone stop the american domination at the top of the masters leaderboard? we'll bring you the latest on day two at augusta. we'll be at aintree on ladies day

counting down to the big race. yes, i will be looking ahead to one of the biggest days in the sporting calendar, where last year's winner is one of the favourites. a spirited fightback from emma raducanu as great britain battle against france for a place in the billiejean king cup finals. also coming up on sportsday before 7pm — and could it be glasgow to the rescue as the search for a commonwealth games host continues? welcome along. thank you forjoining us. we'll be at aintree, but we start at augusta, where the race is on for the green jacket. who will win the first
6:33 pm
major of the year? first priority is to make the cut as we approach the halfway stage at the masters. it was the former us open champion bryson dechambeau who led the way on day two. but now it's max homa who is leading the way. the impressive danny willett and rory mcilroy further behind among those trying to edge closer to him. andy swiss reports. an early start to for the fans at agusta after the weather dale yesterday had the players catching up. tiger woods dropped a couple of shots to end his first round on 1—over and less than one hour later back out there with once again a bit of a mixed bag but this certainly got the crowd going. that magic touchit got the crowd going. that magic touch it steams is still very much there. the big move came from fellow

6:35 pm
champion will get going soon as well at one over after his opening—round, as is tiger woods, who has finished his first round today and it threw nine at the moment in his second. we will keep across it all on the bbc sounds and bbc sport app and bbc sport website. from a golf major to the major event on the british racing calendar, if not the world. tomorrow's grand national will be watched by millions as 34 runners battle it out over 30 fences, across four miles and two furlongs. organisers have made changes to the course after last year's race was delayed by protesters. our sports news correspondent laura scott is at aintree for us on what has been ladies day. good evening, good to see you. what's stood out for you so far? well, ladies day at aintree is always one with the limelight is split between the stars on the track with the jockeys in the horses and also the best rest of liverpool. we
6:36 pm
have seen some pretty bold outfits here today in a very lively atmosphere. undoubtedly the highlight in terms of the racing of the seven races there was once the billing chase, one for trainer nikki henderson and ownerjp mcmanus who had a travel on the day. but for henderson, viewers might recall he had a truly terrible cheltenham festival and he has taken some patience and perseverance for him to plough on and try to get his horses back and forth. and to win today maintaining the unbeaten record with his horse, clearly a satisfying success for henderson and to see that smile return would have been a m that smile return would have been a joy for many people here at aintree. there has been a sad footnote to the date because there were two equine facilities at the race and that will mean ahead of the big race tomorrow the scrutiny on equine welfare will have only heightened. the big race is tomorrow, of course, and there will be a slightly different feel to the grand national bearing in mind what
6:37 pm
happened last year. exactly. we are not expecting the protests that we saw it last year with animal rising, but this port has taken stock of the perception issues that he undoubtedly has given that this is a race watch my many millions of people around the world. i think the sport has realised it needs to evolve, and this race is one of those that has had to have some changes made to it. this year, it weaves in the number of runners in the grand national reduced from 40 to 34 and all the horses begin from a standing start in the first fence moving closer to the start line as part of an effort to of the horses as they go to that first fence because the british horseracing authority said their analysis of data showed that speed was a big impact on follows. they are trying to reduce the speed and the race has also been brought forward at 4pm to try to stop the ground trying out too much. of
6:38 pm
course there will be an element of nerves among the authorities watching that race to see how it pans out, but there are 34 runners and among them we have a winner from last year, who is trained by lucinda russell in the hills of scotland. this course is incredibly special to her and won the race last year and i asked her about the character of this horse. i think he has improved. 0f i think he has improved. of course i'd rather— i think he has improved. of course i'd rather he — i think he has improved. of course i'd rather he was not carrying the extra _ i'd rather he was not carrying the extra weight, but this is the grand national_ extra weight, but this is the grand national and anything can happen. you need — national and anything can happen. you need so much look and running, not you need so much look and running, “nim— you need so much look and running, notjust about the you need so much look and running, not just about the weight of the ground. there are so many variables and that's_ ground. there are so many variables and that's what makes it the greatest _ and that's what makes it the greatest race in the world, i believe _ greatest race in the world, i believe. he is the most unique course — believe. he is the most unique course i— believe. he is the most unique course. i will never ever have another — course. i will never ever have another horse like him. he is very intelligent— another horse like him. he is very intelligent they cannot only be help when it— intelligent they cannot only be help when itjumps as different intelligent they cannot only be help when it jumps as different fences they can — when it jumps as different fences they can pick up on human emotions. my mother— they can pick up on human emotions. my mother is— they can pick up on human emotions. my mother is terrified of horses and he will_ my mother is terrified of horses and he will stand back from her. he is

6:40 pm
let's not get carried away but in the last hour raducanu has put on one of her great performances by beating caroline garcia in her own back yard to bring great britain level in their billiejean king cult final after katie bulger was blown away earlier. the tie is level with both countries trying to reach the final in november. correctable to reports. it's been nearly a year since great britain were beaten by france at this qualifying stage. playing for the nation but also retribution. katie boulter has reasons to be smiling at the moment as british number one and winning herfirst big title earlier this month. her break—out year but her break of serve. the clay—court is the fourth type of diane aintree who reeled off three games in a row to take
6:41 pm
control. three games quickly became six with the first set the france and the boulter smile copplestone unlike parry, boulter lacks experience on the surface. 2—0 down in the second and the match slipped away. in the end the second set was more of a struggle, 6— love parry, domination is supposed retribution. that put even more pressure on emma raducanu on her return to the team. she has not played in this event for two years. early on it did not show. but caroline garcia is a formidable opponent in this competition, winning 12 of her last 15 matches, and the frenchwoman eventually powered her way to the opening set. raducanu rallied in the second, though, it show she has power of her own. and that led her to take the second set. great britain's first win of the tie. all momentum now with raducanu and she managed to
6:42 pm
break garcia twice in the final set. with this, she thought she had wanted it but still had one more game to win. but raducanu did not have to wait long, finishing in style for a great retaliation, 1—1 and more to play for tomorrow. tomorrow should be fascinating. could it be glasgow to the rescue? the quest to find a host city for the commonwealth games in 2026 continues. last week, singapore joined malaysia in ruling out a bid after the australian state of victoria withdrew as host because of rising costs. now commonwealth games scotland says glasgow, which hosted the games in 2014, could step in with a scaled—back offering should no other host be found. chris mclaughlin has more.
6:43 pm
come on in, australia! it was a summer in glasgow to remember. 2014, the sun shone and the city put on a show. memories were made for athletes and fans alike. but in recent years, the commonwealth games has struggled to excite countries to get involved. victoria in australia pulled out of 2026, seeing the cost outweighed the benefits. that has left organisers with a huge headache. so glasgow's rescue plan is a streamlined version. it would have a core sport programming between 10—13 sports. no athletes' village, hotels will be used. and they say the majority of the bill would be picked up by the commonwealth games federation. what we have said to both the commonwealth games federation, scottish government and others is we want to use a concept using the money they have.
6:44 pm
they have put on the table £100 million, directly into the host economy, though hotels, full restaurants, £100 million to put the games on. we believe we would enhance that with private money. what about the legacy? the regeneration of parts of the east end were the legacy last time. but without big legacy plans this time around, while glaswegians buy in? obviously the funding, depending on where it comes from, that is always going to be a concern for a lot of people, given the state of the economy at the moment. all the different countries coming together, i think. that is what glasgow kind of is anyway. _ these things cost a lot of money. right now the government keep telling us that there is cutbacks and things happening. depending on how much it would cost, i would be all for it. ross murdoch is going to take the gold for scotland! from a sporting point of view, those who shone in this city ten years ago have no doubts that it should return and give others the same opportunity. i would actually hate to think that the opportunities i had i to build a better life - for myself, the opportunities
6:45 pm
i got through sport _ that other people would not be afforded the same opportunity. even if it was just an opportunity to dream one day that _ i could represent scotland cos that's what it was. - glasgow still wants to be a last resort and would prefer that someone else stepped forward. that in itself leaves questions, but others see it as an opportunity. we have had £500 million cut from the city's budget since the commonwealth games in 2014, we have seen a haemorrhaging of capacity across some of the key services. the roads and parks have been cut 80%. that has been a hugely damaging impact on the city. but i think what we can do is look towards 2026, let's begin to rebuild the city. glasgow 2014 and perhaps glasgow 2026. we should find out if it's happening at the end of next month. chris mclaughlin, bbc news.
6:46 pm
we await that decision. the women's six nations resumes tomorrow with england looking to pick up where they left off. top of the table and targeting a sixth title in a row having already beaten italy and wales, they take on scotland tomorrow in front of a sold—out hive stadium in edinburgh. joint—bottom ireland and wales face each other in the other game. i've been speaking to our rugby reporter sara orchard. she says england remained the team to catch. ., ,., , she says england remained the team to catch. ., , , ., to catch. two bonus point wins out of two outings. — of two outings, they have naturally remain favourites for the title. have not lost at the six nations since 2018. a statement by the head coachjohn since 2018. a statement by the head coach john mitchell as since 2018. a statement by the head coachjohn mitchell as he dropped the regular cap into the bench and that means zoe cockroft will captain the cycle sent to return at hooker as well will bring them further. england the favourites tomorrow, but scotland have made a positive start, including that win in cardiff. with that sold—out crowd, how much of a threat do they pose? it's a really fair question to ask.
6:47 pm
we have to say in recent years it's been around 50 points of the england have put on scotland. however, we have put on scotland. however, we have been quite impressed by the scotland women this six nations. they ran france quite close to me to go and were leading at times in that match was that they have been boosted by lenox kelvin and my back at hooker after a bit of a knee injury and also one of the most cap players will make her first star of the seasons because she has been struggling a bit with a nickel as well. but it is worth saying that it's their first sell—out at the hive, a testament to the winds they have put together recently but also their style of play. so i'm not expecting this to be a 50 pointer. should be a great atmosphere in cork, too, where ireland play wales. who do you think will pick up theirfirst win? a really tricky one to call, but you have to say on paper it's going to
6:48 pm
beat wales. they had a really tight match against scotland and round 1 and all they were quite heavily beaten, if you look at the score against england they actually played against england they actually played a very good brand of rugby. they competed heavily. and arguably some decisions did not quite go their way. bolstered by their scrum—half it was dropped to the bench and that england game but she will be beginning as one of a number of changes to the starting 15 that they feel will bolster the squad. meanwhile for ireland, yeah, they did not get anything out of the last six nations spinning with the wooden spoon but you feel they are growing under their new head coach and returning to the starting 15 is their cocaptain. dropping her was a big call for the coaching staff on all accounts training fantastically the last few weeks. we the comment that all of the iris headlines will be stolen by the replacement hooker who was quite famously dropped by ireland 2.5 years ago and is not been selected since. she criticised
6:49 pm
the group publicly on social intermediate but is now back in whatever reception she gets from the crowd in ireland is going to be something very interesting to keep a close eye on. something very interesting to keep a close eye on-— close eye on. ireland, wales, scotland, _ close eye on. ireland, wales, scotland, england _ close eye on. ireland, wales, scotland, england coming - close eye on. ireland, wales, - scotland, england coming tomorrow. manchester city manager pep guardiola says he's willing to rest rodri after the player said he needed a break. the city midfielder made the comments earlier this week when asked about the club's busy run into the end of the season. and he's by no means the only player in the spotlight, with the schedule set to get even busier with an expanded club world cup and champions league on the horizon. patrick gearey reports. this season, ollie watkins has been unstoppable. on droppable. last night goal number 21 in game number 40 four aston villa and england. the liverpool captain virgil van dijk has cropped up under 4700 minutes to season. manchester city's rodri a few behind. now he says he needs a rest. it has drawn attention to the

6:53 pm
well, it'sjust unbelievable, really, isn't it? you know, to have your son train, your daughter—in—law ride, and a horse you bred, it's just...it�*s magic. 0h, there's no doubt gina's the boss. he laughs. we obviously have differences in opinions on certain things, but it helps. you can be open with each other and, you know, say what you really mean, which i think, if you have a professional relationship with somebody else, sometimes you perhaps hold back a little bit. yeah, we try to switch off in the evenings, i think. i once we've finished the evening stable at 6 o'clock time, - we have dinner and whatever, you try to switch off a bit - and think about something else! dog whines. it's helping the whole family reach new heights. and as if they didn't have enough on their plate, getting ready for their biggest moment, breakfast time is even busier with a litter of lurcher puppies! and for a change, the spotlight isn't on gina's brotherjack, the world's tallest jockey, it's on gina's horse, also famous for its size. shower time, and latenightpass
6:54 pm
is my kind of grand national horse because it's one of the shortest in the field at 16 hands. and the grand national is famous for its fairy—tale stories, and this certainly would be with the family connections, with mum, son, and daughter—in—law all involved. he's very small for a racehorse, isuppose. but he doesn't know that! he's always been small, so... and he's always been an accurate jumper, which i think, around there, is quite important. it's like someone who's in a sunday league football team and they literally get the chance to run out against arsenal and manchester united in the cup final. like i say, it is the biggest race of the year injump racing. but don't be fooled by gina's amateur status. she has got the most wins of any amateur female jockey and, two years ago, did ride to a famous win around the aintree course itself on latenightpass in the foxhunters, which is the race for amateur riders. latenightpass, one post better
6:55 pm
than he did last year! - i can't describe it, really. it's... you know, it feels like it's not real, somebody�*s going to pinch you and you're going to wake up. it's been quite a...bit of a roller—coaster, really. and whatever happens, they'll all have an excuse for a "late—night pass" as their home—grown talent soaks up the occasion and basks in grand national glory. mike bushell, bbc news. much more preview, analysis and build up to the grand national on the bbc sport website and will keep across on what's happening of the masters golf day to as well. that's all from sportsday. hello. temperatures for some of us today got up into the high teens, the low 20s celsius — particularly where we saw some sunshine — but don't expect those warm conditions to last.
6:56 pm
it's actually going to turn cooler this weekend. often windy, the wettest weather towards the north and the west of the uk. today, we've had this feed of south or south—westerly winds bringing this relatively warm air, but notice some colder air lurking out in the atlantic. that will head our way as westerly winds start to kick in through the weekend. those westerly winds moving in behind various different frontal systems. here comes one. not much more than just a little bit of showery rain, certainly more cloud with that. most places, i think, will be largely dry through the night. some further hefty showers into north—west scotland, where it will be windy. it's going to be mild to take us into saturday morning. so, for saturday, a couple of different weather fronts to pass across the uk. this first one here bringing some mostly fairly light, showery rain. this next weather front here bringing some more intense downpours across northern ireland and the north—west of scotland. some heavy, thundery downpours are possible. between the rain bands, we will see some spells of sunshine and what will be quite a windy day, particularly across northern areas, gusts of 40 mph or more,
6:57 pm
but a pretty windy day wherever you are. temperatures in the south—east corner getting up to 20 degrees celsius. further north and west, it will be turning cooler as the day wears on, and actually saturday night could be quite cold. we could see a touch of frost in northern areas. these weather fronts moving out of the way, a window of drier weather, but we're into those westerly winds and that chillier air mass by this stage. sunday is going to be a sunshine and showers day. it could be a frosty start for some northern areas, then some spells of sunshine. showers getting going, particularly across northern ireland, scotland, northern england, some down into wales. some of the showers wintry over the highest ground in the north. not as many showers down towards the south—east corner, 9—15 degrees. that is about where we should be temperature—wise for this time of year. now, monday, we'll see this area of low pressure passing across the uk. we'll see showers or longer spells of rain, some pretty blustery winds as well. the showers becoming fewer
6:58 pm
and further between as we head deeper into next week. temperature—wise, well, around the average for the time of year.
6:59 pm
it's 7pm in london.
7:00 pm
this is this world today with ben brown. the white house says the threat of an iranian attack on israel is �*real and viable'. police launch an investigation into claims that the uk's deputy opposition leader broke electoral law. angela broke electoral law. rayner says she will stand down angela rayner says she will stand down if they prove any wrongdoing. a coroner rules the shooting dead of 10 protestant workmen in northern ireland in 1976 was an "overtly sectarian attack by the ira". also coming up on the world today: and what sparked the brightest burst of light every recorded? scientists solve the cosmic question, but has it unlocked more mysteries? welcome to the world today — an hour of international news from the bbc.
