we have taken action to ban water bosses�* bonuses when criminal breaches have occurred, quadrupled company inspections next year, provided more funding to our water regulators and fast—tracked investment to cut spills. 100% of overflows are now being monitored, and if water companies are found to breach their permits, action will be taken. meanwhile, industry group water uk said sewage spill levels remained unacceptable, but water companies in england had proposed £10 billion to reduce them by nearly 40% by 2030. many will hope that this unprecedented coming together last month's boat race was overshadowed by concerns over sewage levels in the thames with high levels of e.coli detected. and, at this summer's paris 0lympics, organisers may have to postpone or even cancel the swimming leg of the triathlon if pollution levels in the river seine don't improve. a host of sports now adding their voices to those calling for change. dan roan, bbc news. lebronjames has refused

11:57 am
any issues with frost. 0ur overnight lows, 7 to 11 degrees. so tomorrow, we start off with the low cloud, mist and fog. we still do have this weather front out towards the west, which is dying. and we've got this weather front coming up from the near continent as we go through the course of the day. so the low cloud, mist and fog in the east will burn back towards the coast. we could still see some showers coming out of that. the front in the west, continuing to fade and die. and through the day, the cloud will build and then we'll see some rain and some showers arriving from the south. temperatures extending from 11 in the north to 19 in the south. now, moving on through the rest of the week, we have our front, if you remember, coming up from the continent. this is it on thursday, draped across some central and southern parts of the country. this and it's going to have still some rain in it. that pulls away, leaving quite a bit of cloud for a time. and we'll see further showers develop along that line through the course of the afternoon. some of them could be heavy and thundery. move north, we've got brighter
11:58 am
skies, some sunshine, but still some low cloud, mist and murk coming in from the north sea, plaguing the north sea coastline. and with the onshore breeze, it will feel cooler here. so our front is still with us during the course of friday. if anything, it's moving a little bit further north. it will brighten up to the south of it, but there'll still be some showers. the north of scotland faring quite nicely on friday and temperatures 11 to about 16 degrees, but locally in the west, 20.
