:02:04. > :02:07.Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News At One.

:02:08. > :02:10.David Cameron is in Brussels trying to dissuade EU

:02:11. > :02:14.leaders from appointing Jean-Claude Juncker as the next President

:02:15. > :02:17.of the European Commission. The Prime Minister is strongly

:02:18. > :02:20.opposed to the appointment saying Mr Juncker lacks the will

:02:21. > :02:24.and skills to reform the EU. But Mr Cameron has admitted

:02:25. > :02:26.the odds are stacked against him in the vote and says Britain will

:02:27. > :02:27.respect the outcome. Our Europe correspondent

:02:28. > :02:41.Chris Morris is in Brussels . Good afternoon. It does not mean

:02:42. > :02:46.that he have to like it but it does mean that David Cameron is fighting

:02:47. > :02:50.a losing battle. He described the potential appointment of Mr Juncker

:02:51. > :02:53.as profoundly wrong. He suggested it was taking Europe in the wrong

:02:54. > :02:58.direction. But as he gathered here with other EU leaders in the

:02:59. > :03:04.building behind me, it does feel like a done deal. Arriving in

:03:05. > :03:06.building behind me, it does feel and awkward day. EU leaders normally

:03:07. > :03:11.agree things by consensus without a formal vote, but not this time. The

:03:12. > :03:14.agree things by consensus without a man at the centre of attention is

:03:15. > :03:19.not actually in the building. Jean-Claude Juncker, the former

:03:20. > :03:27.Prime Minister of Luxembourg, the ultimate backroom fixer. He looks

:03:28. > :03:30.set to be nominated the next President of the European Commission

:03:31. > :03:35.despite public objections. Angela Merkel could have helped to stop him

:03:36. > :03:40.but she chose not to. They're what does Mr Juncker believe in? He wants

:03:41. > :03:44.to create more jobs and growth in Europe and deepen the single market.

:03:45. > :03:55.He has vowed to sign a free trade agreement with your United States

:03:56. > :03:58.and to agree a deal with Britain to renegotiate its relationship with

:03:59. > :04:01.the EU. It does not sound too threatening. The David Cameron

:04:02. > :04:08.objects to the process by which Mr Juncker has been nominated and does

:04:09. > :04:11.not see him as a signal of a fresh start. He says he is someone who

:04:12. > :04:15.will struggle to be the voice of reform and change in Europe. It is

:04:16. > :04:18.not right for the elected heads of Government of European governments

:04:19. > :04:22.to give up their right to nominate the head of the European

:04:23. > :04:26.Commission, the most important role in Europe, that is a bad principle

:04:27. > :04:30.and it is the wrong person. Jean-Claude Juncker has been at the

:04:31. > :04:35.heart of the project to increase the power of Brussels for his entire

:04:36. > :04:38.working life. He is not the right person to take this organisation

:04:39. > :04:42.forward. David Cameron is determined to force a vote at this summit to

:04:43. > :04:46.make other leaders go public with their support for Jean-Claude

:04:47. > :04:49.Juncker. Some of them accused the Prime Minister of being too

:04:50. > :04:55.confrontational but others are anxious. There is a risk of the rift

:04:56. > :04:59.between Britain and the rest of the EU intensifying. David Cameron is a

:05:00. > :05:03.principled man and he has felt strongly that Mr Juncker is to

:05:04. > :05:08.federalist for his liking. But I think we can all solve the

:05:09. > :05:14.situation. I think in the UK some people need to seriously wake up and

:05:15. > :05:18.smell the coffee. David Cameron has said there will be consequences if

:05:19. > :05:23.Mr Juncker is chosen. He now has to decide how tough he now has to

:05:24. > :05:26.decide how tough his bottom line for David Cameron is that he failed to

:05:27. > :05:31.get enough other leaders to back his point of view on Mr Juncker. Why did

:05:32. > :05:35.that happen and where did it go wrong? I think that is his big

:05:36. > :05:40.problem now. Part of his strategy to renegotiate the relationship of

:05:41. > :05:44.Britain with the European Union, it is to do deals with people like

:05:45. > :05:49.Angela Merkel. What happened here what he thought he had Angela

:05:50. > :05:56.Merkel's agreement but quietly after the European election other

:05:57. > :05:59.candidates would be put forward. But she came under huge domestic

:06:00. > :06:03.pressure in Germany to stick with Mr Juncker and when push came to shove

:06:04. > :06:09.between domestic pressure and helping David Cameron, she chose

:06:10. > :06:14.domestic political supporters who said it had to be Mr Juncker. Now

:06:15. > :06:17.David Cameron will stand accused of being unable to deliver on promises

:06:18. > :06:21.he has made. I think that will damage him in the next few years as

:06:22. > :06:30.he tries to that relationship. Thank you. Our political correspondent Ian

:06:31. > :06:35.Watson is at Westminster. How is this playing out domestically for Mr

:06:36. > :06:39.Cameron back here in the UK? Is he being seen as a latter-day Margaret

:06:40. > :06:43.Thatcher, standing up to the Brussels bureaucrats on this issue?

:06:44. > :06:47.That is certainly how Downing Street would like to portray it. They say

:06:48. > :06:50.it shows the Prime Minister is not prepared to be pushed around by

:06:51. > :06:55.people across the Channel, even if the odds are stacked against him,

:06:56. > :06:59.and he will stand up for what he believes. The symbolism will not be

:07:00. > :07:02.great this afternoon. The Prime Minister in the splendid isolation

:07:03. > :07:09.and his political opponents in Westminster are making hay. Labour

:07:10. > :07:14.say that he is facing utter humiliation. They also say that he

:07:15. > :07:18.did not build the necessary alliances with other countries in

:07:19. > :07:24.order to stop him. Perhaps even more worryingly, UKIP that if you cannot

:07:25. > :07:29.stop Mr Juncker, this shows that his policy of renegotiating relationship

:07:30. > :07:33.with Brussels will not add up to a row of beans. Publicly Conservative

:07:34. > :07:38.MPs are supporting him, but privately they are worried about

:07:39. > :07:41.tactics. One minister said it was a mistake for David Cameron to leave

:07:42. > :07:45.the main centre-right group at the European Parliament which might have

:07:46. > :07:48.deprived him of allies. Some are calling for more clarity on what he

:07:49. > :07:51.wants to renegotiate and some are even worried about whether a

:07:52. > :07:56.referendum in the EU will take place. They are saying that if this

:07:57. > :08:00.boosts UKIP, it might deprive the Conservatives of the overall

:08:01. > :08:05.majority they need to deliver the referendum promise. Thank you. You

:08:06. > :08:09.can keep up to date with that story throughout the afternoon on the BBC

:08:10. > :08:13.News Channel. Also at that meeting of EU leaders

:08:14. > :08:17.in Belgium, an association agreement with Ukraine was signed. It is a

:08:18. > :08:21.deal Russia poses and was one of the main causes of the recent violence

:08:22. > :08:25.in Ukraine. President Poroshenko said the agreement was an historic

:08:26. > :08:29.turning point for his country but also reminded the other leaders that

:08:30. > :08:34.Ukraine had paid a high price for it. Daniel Sandford is in Moscow.

:08:35. > :08:41.What is the view from Moscow on the signing of this accord now? This was

:08:42. > :08:44.the very agreement that led to the crisis of the last seven months and

:08:45. > :08:47.the seizing of the Crimea. That is right. The immediate reaction from

:08:48. > :08:51.President Putin's spokesman was that Russia would do everything it needed

:08:52. > :08:58.to to protect its own economy. The argument is that cheap goods could

:08:59. > :09:02.flow from the EU through the Ukraine and into Russia and they need to

:09:03. > :09:09.protect the economy, but it is also seen as a potentially punitive

:09:10. > :09:12.measure for Ukraine choosing the EU over Russia. Don't forget it was the

:09:13. > :09:17.threat of trade barriers that stopped the agreement being signed

:09:18. > :09:21.by President Yanukovych back in November. That caused the rioting in

:09:22. > :09:27.Kiev and in turn led to the loss of Crimea and the ongoing fighting in

:09:28. > :09:32.eastern Ukraine. It has been a very serious move and a lot of blood has

:09:33. > :09:38.been shared by people fighting both for this movement towards Europe and

:09:39. > :09:41.those fighting against it. On that, Poroshenko said that he would extend

:09:42. > :09:46.his Government's cease-fire for three more days to give Russia a

:09:47. > :09:49.chance to persuade the rebels to give up their weapons and the

:09:50. > :09:52.European Union interned that they would not make any decision about

:09:53. > :09:57.sanctions against Russia until Monday, to see whether Russia can

:09:58. > :10:01.prevent the flow of weapons over the weekend. There is a cease-fire in

:10:02. > :10:06.the East, but a number of people, a lot of people, have been displaced

:10:07. > :10:10.as a result of what is going on. We have seen a massive acceleration of

:10:11. > :10:24.refugees fleeing Ukraine in the last few days. 110,000 have fled into

:10:25. > :10:26.Russia according to the United Nations's refugee agency. 54,000

:10:27. > :10:28.have fled within Ukraine. So very serious numbers of people now

:10:29. > :10:31.fighting what was effectively a small war last week. There was a

:10:32. > :10:36.cease-fire but everybody is trying to make sure that war does not start

:10:37. > :10:40.again. Thank you. The head of counterterrorism in

:10:41. > :10:45.Wales has denied that police forces have failed to combat radicalisation

:10:46. > :10:52.of British Muslims. The chief assistant comfortable was giving her

:10:53. > :10:58.response to an online video showing two men encouraging others to join

:10:59. > :11:01.them in Iraq and Syria. -- assistant chief constable Nikki Holland. Young

:11:02. > :11:06.British men calling on others to join the jihad. A week after this

:11:07. > :11:11.ISAs video emerged on YouTube, it is still available and being shared

:11:12. > :11:17.online, translated into several languages. Two of the men in front

:11:18. > :11:22.of camera from Cardiff. In their home city, questions remain over how

:11:23. > :11:29.much was known about them and other extreme groups. South Wales police

:11:30. > :11:35.have been tracking activity. Yesterday the Home Office band two

:11:36. > :11:39.groups known to meet up here. Officers insist nobody is beyond

:11:40. > :11:43.their reach. People are talking to us and they are reassured by us

:11:44. > :11:46.being there. People have got trust in the police. I think they realise

:11:47. > :11:51.the police cannot keep hold of absolutely everybody but they are

:11:52. > :11:56.doing the best job they can. A key part of the police strategy is the

:11:57. > :11:59.Prevent programme, working with communities to reach those

:12:00. > :12:03.vulnerable to radicalisation. According to the father of NASA

:12:04. > :12:14.Muthanna, the programme has failed in Cardiff. They have not been aware

:12:15. > :12:21.before. My kids went away and I went berserk. If you cannot prevent it,

:12:22. > :12:28.how can you name yourself as the preventer? It should be prevented in

:12:29. > :12:31.advance. How did they slip away? The spotlight that has fallen on cities

:12:32. > :12:36.like Cardiff has been uncomfortable for many living here. For those who

:12:37. > :12:46.thought they were fighting extremism and for those who note the Jihadi is

:12:47. > :12:56.that I'm now abroad. -- who know the Jihadis. People know the

:12:57. > :13:07.that I'm now abroad. -- who know the communities, the police, everybody.

:13:08. > :13:16.that I'm now abroad. -- who know the failed. -- mosque. We

:13:17. > :13:20.that I'm now abroad. -- who know the saving those people. Imams within

:13:21. > :13:24.the city will be trying to resolve the problem but trust has been

:13:25. > :13:34.broken in the city. House prices in England and Wales

:13:35. > :13:40.have risen in a year by 6.7%, meaning the average house costs

:13:41. > :13:43.?174,000. There are regional variations with rises in London at

:13:44. > :13:48.19% but in parts of northern variations with rises in London at

:13:49. > :13:56.there have been sharp falls. For sale, but at prices in some places

:13:57. > :13:59.that are sacrament or even falling -- is stagnant or even falling.

:14:00. > :14:07.that are sacrament or even falling seen their assets become a

:14:08. > :14:11.liability. It has been on the market for over a year and the price is

:14:12. > :14:16.just going down and down. Owners like Gillian who bought her flat in

:14:17. > :14:22.Sunderland for ?125,000. She has been offered just over 100,000 for

:14:23. > :14:27.it, wiping out her deposit. I feel trapped, trapped in my own home. I

:14:28. > :14:31.want to move on. Last year I thought I was going to move on. I had my

:14:32. > :14:38.little house and everything. I am still here. A big contrast in price

:14:39. > :14:45.movements over the last year. In London, Waltham Forest up 26%, the

:14:46. > :14:50.whole city nearly 19% up, but Merthyr Tydfil down 13%, and all of

:14:51. > :14:56.Wales 2% higher, with Blackburn plunging 7% and the North West

:14:57. > :15:02.rising just over 1%, and Hartlepool down 3% and the North East Hardy up

:15:03. > :15:05.at all. London is powering ahead. Other places are simply marooned and

:15:06. > :15:09.some places like Hartlepool are still going backwards, meaning that

:15:10. > :15:13.dealing with the housing market means a completely different thing

:15:14. > :15:17.depending on where you are. People can't move and they are stuck, Sun

:15:18. > :15:23.in negative equity. There are bargains if you can buy, but this

:15:24. > :15:26.expert warns that both buyers and sellers are spooked by a falling

:15:27. > :15:30.market and lending limits imposed by the Bank of England worried about

:15:31. > :15:36.London will make things worse. The ripple effect takes time to come out

:15:37. > :15:39.to some of these areas. We could be talking another 12 months before we

:15:40. > :15:44.feel that. If they put the brakes on now, I dread to think what could

:15:45. > :15:49.happen. Scotland also has areas where prices are dropping and not

:15:50. > :15:59.booming. More than ever this is a housing market heading in two

:16:00. > :16:01.different directions. The fault of a British-born student who shot dead

:16:02. > :16:09.six people in California last month has told of the horror of living

:16:10. > :16:13.with what his son had done. Speaking publicly, Peter Rodger told BBC News

:16:14. > :16:21.he cannot stop thinking of his son's victims. This was how the

:16:22. > :16:26.killing spree ended. Elliot Rodger was found in his quest BMW with a

:16:27. > :16:32.gunshot wound in his head. The 22-year-old had murdered six people

:16:33. > :16:36.and injured 13 others in this beach-side college town. Now his

:16:37. > :16:39.father, a British film-maker, has spoken of struggling with the

:16:40. > :16:47.knowledge of what his son had done. Every night I go to sleep. I wake

:16:48. > :16:53.up. I think of those young men and young women that have died. And who

:16:54. > :17:02.were injured and who were terrorised. And my son did that. My

:17:03. > :17:09.son caused so much pain and suffering for so many families.

:17:10. > :17:13.Tomorrow is the day of retribution. Hours before the attack, Elliot

:17:14. > :17:19.Rodger posted a chilling video on YouTube. His anger, it seems, driven

:17:20. > :17:23.by girls spurning his advances. After I have annihilated every

:17:24. > :17:28.single girl in the sorority house, I will take to the streets of Isla

:17:29. > :17:34.Vista and slay every single person I see there. Peter Rodger told Barbara

:17:35. > :17:37.Walters of the truth dawning on him that the son he had never thought

:17:38. > :17:42.capable of hurting anyone, had turned into a massmurderer. This is

:17:43. > :17:49.the most unbelievable thing, Barbara. What I don't get. We didn't

:17:50. > :17:56.see this coming at all. His son's incomprehensible actions or the

:17:57. > :18:03.American horror story, he said. The top stories: EU leaders are

:18:04. > :18:07.expected to confirm Jean-Claude Juncker as the next president of the

:18:08. > :18:12.European Commission despite the objection of David Cameron. I live

:18:13. > :18:15.at Wimbledon, where rain is forecast. Andy Murray will stay dry

:18:16. > :18:19.under the Centre Court roof. Later on BBC London,

:18:20. > :18:24.rail passengers promised new trains and more punctual service.

:18:25. > :18:37.And the search for volunteers for the Rugby World Cup.

:18:38. > :18:42.For millions of people at the moment,

:18:43. > :18:45.Brazil is the home of the World Cup, with all its glitz and glamour.

:18:46. > :18:48.But away from the cameras, the country has more than

:18:49. > :18:51.its fair share of social problems. One is the growing addiction

:18:52. > :18:54.of thousands to crack cocaine. Brazil has recently surpassed the US

:18:55. > :19:00.as the world's biggest consumer of the drug.

:19:01. > :19:03.And on the latest leg of his South American tour, Prince Harry has been

:19:04. > :19:06.to a district of Sao Paulo called 'Cracolandia', to see for himself

:19:07. > :19:13.how the issue is being tackled. From there, Katy Watson reports.

:19:14. > :19:21.This is visit to a neighbourhood known as Cracolandia attracted a lot

:19:22. > :19:27.of attention. And it needed heavy security, too. It is not often a

:19:28. > :19:35.member of the Royal family drops in on a no go area of S?o Paulo, where

:19:36. > :19:39.drug addicts and dealers converge. The prince was here to learn about a

:19:40. > :19:42.new government project that instead of driving out the addicts, gives

:19:43. > :19:47.them food, paid work, health care and shelter. Controversially it does

:19:48. > :19:50.not make them give up the drug dealer. He was mobbed as he walked

:19:51. > :19:57.through the neighbourhood and met crack addicts. He posed for

:19:58. > :20:02.photographs and shared some jokes. Brazil has more than 1 million crack

:20:03. > :20:06.cocaine users. Just metres from the Prince, the crack problem was clear.

:20:07. > :20:10.People were dealing and using the drug in the open air. One person

:20:11. > :20:15.threatened us when we tried to film, despite the heavy police

:20:16. > :20:18.presence. The Prince wanted to see for himself how authorities are

:20:19. > :20:22.dealing with crack cocaine here. His visit has thrown a spotlight on an

:20:23. > :20:27.issue some experts have called an epidemic. It was one of his last

:20:28. > :20:32.engagements on a four day visit to Brazil, one he had thoroughly

:20:33. > :20:36.enjoyed. I have had the most unbelievable time. Thank you

:20:37. > :20:40.somewhat by the hospitality and the warmth everybody has shown to me and

:20:41. > :20:48.my team, from visiting hospitals, the rainforest, the whole trip has

:20:49. > :20:51.been absolutely amazing. Meeting all the children, the next generation of

:20:52. > :21:02.footballers. It has really struck home. I feel very, very moved. He

:21:03. > :21:05.says he will be back, perhaps not to Cracolandia though. This was not a

:21:06. > :21:11.normal day for the addicts or for the Prince.

:21:12. > :21:16.Devon and Cornwall police searching for a man they leave may be armed

:21:17. > :21:20.have closed a primary school close to where a domestic incident took

:21:21. > :21:24.place last night. Police say the closure is just a precaution and

:21:25. > :21:28.there is no suggestion that Darryl Weaver poses a risk to the public.

:21:29. > :21:30.From there, Katy Watson reports. The Sudanese woman who was sentenced

:21:31. > :21:33.to death for converting to Christianity,

:21:34. > :21:36.has taken refuge in the US Embassy in Khartoum, while she waits to get

:21:37. > :21:40.out of the country with her family. Meriam Ibrahim, 27,

:21:41. > :21:43.has gone through sentencing, release, and detention again - and

:21:44. > :21:44.now just wants to get to safety. She's talked exclusively to the BBC.

:21:45. > :21:47.Philippa Thomas reports. From detention at a

:21:48. > :21:53.Sudanese police station to a place of at least temporary safety. Meriam

:21:54. > :21:57.Ibrahim held onto the baby girl she had borne in jail. Her husband, with

:21:58. > :22:00.the little boy. As she was taken to the US Embassy, the 27-year-old gave

:22:01. > :22:03.this world exclusive interview to TRANSLATION: I would like

:22:04. > :22:09.to thank the Sudanese people and the I would like to thank all

:23:36. > :23:37.from the World Cup in Brazil. Suarez was banned for nine

:23:38. > :23:40.international matches for biting an Italian player on Tuesday.

:23:41. > :23:43.The President said a different standard was applied to

:23:44. > :23:46.smaller footballing nations, and because Uruguay had eliminated

:23:47. > :23:53.Italy and England FIFA, would lose money in television rights.

:23:54. > :24:05.Chris McLaughlin is in Anfield. Liverpool is Luis Suarez's home

:24:06. > :24:11.club. What has been the reaction to his punishment there? Anger in

:24:12. > :24:13.Uruguay and anger also here in Liverpool. We have had nothing

:24:14. > :24:14.official from the club yet. Liverpool. We have had nothing

:24:15. > :24:20.understand they are taking legal Liverpool. We have had nothing

:24:21. > :24:28.advice and at the moment are not of a mind to sell Luis Suarez. That is

:24:29. > :24:30.despite interest from Barcelona. This has been a huge story. We know

:24:31. > :24:35.that Luis This has been a huge story. We know

:24:36. > :24:37.campaign is over. He is back in Uruguay after saying goodbye to his

:24:38. > :24:42.fellow team-mates in Brazil. Uruguay after saying goodbye to his

:24:43. > :24:48.know now that it is just a case of whether or not he will remain a

:24:49. > :24:53.Liverpool player. It is a huge story worldwide. Also, here in Liverpool I

:24:54. > :24:54.have been speaking to some fans who seem split as to whether he should

:24:55. > :25:00.have a future seem split as to whether he should

:25:01. > :25:06.is his last chance. Others believe the club should once again stand by

:25:07. > :25:10.the striker. They have in the past. Remember the racism incident with

:25:11. > :25:18.Patrice Evra? And of course the other biting incident. It is all at

:25:19. > :25:22.the moment pretty much in the air. We do know there is some positive

:25:23. > :25:26.news for a Luis Suarez from a very unlikely source this afternoon.

:25:27. > :25:30.Giorgio Chiellini, the Italian player bitten by Suarez, believes

:25:31. > :25:36.the FIFA ban is too excessive. Chris McLaughlin is in Anfield.

:25:37. > :25:39.Rain looks likely to disrupt play at Wimbledon today, where Andy

:25:40. > :25:43.Murray is due to play his fourth round match later this afternoon.

:25:44. > :25:46.Murray - who is the only surviving British player in the men's or

:25:47. > :25:49.women's singles draw - will take on 27th seed Roberto Bautista Agut

:25:50. > :25:51.from Spain on centre court. Katherine Downes is at Wimbledon

:25:52. > :26:02.for us now. Hi, Clive. There have been a few

:26:03. > :26:07.spots of rain so far this morning. Play is underway. If the rain does

:26:08. > :26:12.arrive, it will not be a problem for Andy Murray as Centre Court has a

:26:13. > :26:17.roof. It could cut short the time he has on the practice courts. We are

:26:18. > :26:24.expecting some disruption due to the rain later on. The crowds have come

:26:25. > :26:29.prepared. For Wimbledon watchers and workers

:26:30. > :26:35.the dress code today is waterproofs. A brolly, a couple of anoraks. A

:26:36. > :26:44.blanket. You are laughing. We are fine. Waterproofs, cup of tea, keep

:26:45. > :26:48.warm for it. The prediction is rain. Hopefully it will be a good day for

:26:49. > :26:54.everybody here and for Andy Murray. There has been no storm for Andy

:26:55. > :26:57.Murray to weather so far this year. He breezed through both matches in

:26:58. > :27:03.straight sets. Around the All-England Club he has looked

:27:04. > :27:08.relaxed, a comparable champion. I am joined by the legendary player, Andy

:27:09. > :27:12.Murray! So comfortable in fact he has found time for an appearance on

:27:13. > :27:16.children's television. He has always been relaxed off the court. On the

:27:17. > :27:21.court he just wants to win as everybody does. There is a lot of

:27:22. > :27:25.limelight on him the last couple of weeks. He has played absolutely

:27:26. > :27:33.superbly. Hitting the ball as sweet as anything. He has played six great

:27:34. > :27:36.sets of tennis so far. Once again, Murray now carries the mantle for

:27:37. > :27:43.Britain after Heather Watson was not doubt yesterday, despite battling

:27:44. > :27:46.for three sets. No such problem for Roger Federer, who slipped through

:27:47. > :27:52.untroubled under the cover of the Centre Court roof. That roof is

:27:53. > :27:58.likely to roll back into position later, with more rain forecast. I am

:27:59. > :28:05.joined by Andrew Castle. You are commentating on Andy Murray's match.

:28:06. > :28:09.What do we know about his opponent? The first thing is you set the name

:28:10. > :28:14.right. This is a man who was outside the top 70 this year. He's 26 years

:28:15. > :28:20.of age. When you expect great improvement, it is normally around

:28:21. > :28:24.21 22. This improvement has come late in his career. He is thoroughly

:28:25. > :28:30.enjoying it. He won his first tournament on grass in Holland last

:28:31. > :28:37.week. It is a step up for Andy Murray today. But Roberto Bautista

:28:38. > :28:41.Agut can play. Maybe four sets. Thank you. Andy Murray is third on

:28:42. > :28:50.Centre Court. Today should be a tougher test for the champion.

:28:51. > :28:56.Now the weather. It is a tricky call for Wimbledon this afternoon. There

:28:57. > :29:03.are some showers. It is a risk of showers. Later on in the day we

:29:04. > :29:06.should definitely see some clearer, brighter conditions. The showers

:29:07. > :29:12.coming across the British Isles at the moment are coming in two

:29:13. > :29:16.different ways. Some in organised bands. That is an easy way to move

:29:17. > :29:22.them on. Some are more broken up into scattered spots. That is what

:29:23. > :29:26.is likely to affect Wimbledon this afternoon. There are some gaps in

:29:27. > :29:31.the showers. The best outlook could be that we cruised through with some

:29:32. > :29:35.sunny spells and leaden skies. Across the majority of England and

:29:36. > :29:39.Wales there is the threat of thunderstorms. A high likelihood of

:29:40. > :29:42.thundery downpours in the south-west of England. I think later on in the

:29:43. > :29:45.afternoon we will see the showers from the south-east moving further

:29:46. > :29:52.north into the Midlands, East Anglia and Wales. They will stick around.

:29:53. > :29:58.Slow-moving. Spells of more persistent rain. A cool feel. Dryers

:29:59. > :30:02.and brightest today in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Northern England

:30:03. > :30:06.not looking too bad. The showers to rumble on across England and Wales

:30:07. > :30:11.into the evening. They will subside as we move into the small hours of

:30:12. > :30:17.Saturday. To the south, some humid air. Temperatures overnight in the

:30:18. > :30:22.mid-teens. In rural Scotland, a chilly night. For the whole of the

:30:23. > :30:28.British Isles, some chilly nights this weekend. You may notice the

:30:29. > :30:32.temperatures sliding down. Thundery showers around for the first half of

:30:33. > :30:38.the weekend. Most of us should see the sun at some stage. Saturday not

:30:39. > :30:42.to bat first thing. Across South Wales and southern England in

:30:43. > :30:45.particular, look at the some big thunderstorms. And this thundery

:30:46. > :30:49.rain could mean poor travelling conditions. That is definitely

:30:50. > :30:53.something to have the back of your mind. In northern England, Northern

:30:54. > :30:58.Ireland Scotland, plenty of sunshine for Saturday. Things become fairer

:30:59. > :31:03.across England and Wales as we move into Sunday. The high-pressure pulls

:31:04. > :31:06.away eastwards. High-pressure squeezes in from the West. It will

:31:07. > :31:11.bring some fresh air across the British Isles. The compensation will

:31:12. > :31:15.be for a change in the weather pattern. Much more dryer weather

:31:16. > :31:18.across England and Wales. It is looking camera than it will do for

:31:19. > :31:24.the remainder of today and Saturday. That is the week and Outlook.

:31:25. > :31:31.A reminder of the top story: EU leaders are expected to confirm

:31:32. > :31:35.Jean-Claude Juncker as the next president of the European

:31:36. > :31:37.Commission, despite the objection of David Cameron. That is it. Time
