protecting athletes from concussions and their possible long term effects is now a major consideration for most sports governing bodies. well, british cycling will become the first cycling federation to introduce a test to determine whether a cyclist has suffered a concussion from a crash and if they should get back on their bike. team gb cyclists at the paris olympics will have their saliva analysed to test for possible concussions. doctors hope this will make it easier to diagnose them and help them advise if a rider should return to competition. it's part of a research project between british cycling and marker diagnostics, a company which specialises in biomarkers. so live it is a handy fluid compared to blood. it is very easy to access, and it doesn't require any special
6:46 pm
expertise to take a saliva swab. for athletes especially, the work we're doing with richer cycling, where we are also going to be able to quite detailed data with regards to performance, is also going to be up to help inform that decision as to when can they get back on their bike and also get back to performance, and also get back to performance, and when they can push themselves safe in the knowledge there. injury has recovered. the olympics begin a week today in paris, and one gold medal hope for team gb is world champion freestyle bmx rider, kieran reilly. he started his summer with a gold at the european games in poland, then just two months later became world champion in glasgow. now he's looking to complete the set by winning in paris. reilly gained notoriety in freestyle bmx riding when he became the first to perform a triple kick flair — three backflips with a 180—degree twist.
6:47 pm
i mentioned this trick in passing him a like i do double affairs, imagine doing a trip up there, it was almost a joke, and it went from i want to do this trick to buy the end i crashed 20 times, spent two weeks trying it, and thought i needed to do this trick and not let you beat me. when i landed it, it was insane, really, the best rush and feeling i ever had. the world's top athletes have travelled to london to complete their olympic preparations in the diamond league. british sprinting hopes are high this summer with zharnel hughes and dina asher—smith both hopeful of medals and both looking forward to the competition, despite the games not being at home. it just makes my itjust makes my heart want to have a european olympics because we all know that london was the best, it was the best, and i think that is one of those non—negotiable facts, all the current athletes think about london as so good, they say if
6:48 pm
you're been in london, oh my gosh. but not as an athlete, we are like 0k, but not as an athlete, we are like ok, we get the point london was the best, but there's a sense of excitement again for paris, and with it one hour a week, or a couple hours away from london, is almost a whole olympics. i've taken some time back to enjoy the sport— i've taken some time back to enjoy the sport and effect on days where i competed _ the sport and effect on days where i competed and loved going out and embracing the crowd and enjoyed what i do leading up to the moment, so that has— i do leading up to the moment, so that has changed a lot. obviously, here comes — that has changed a lot. obviously, here comes the fast times and you enjoying _ here comes the fast times and you enjoying yourself even more, so you are more _ enjoying yourself even more, so you are more eager to go out there and prove _ are more eager to go out there and prove to— are more eager to go out there and prove to yourself that you are capable — prove to yourself that you are capable just as much as anyone else, so i capable just as much as anyone else, so i am _ capable just as much as anyone else, so i am looking forward tojust having — so i am looking forward tojust having a — so i am looking forward tojust having a great time in paris, and delivering — having a great time in paris, and delivering what i know and people of doing _ phoebe gill is only 17 and is studying hard for her a levels next year — but she could become one of the most famous faces at the paris olympics. the teenager will be the youngest
6:49 pm
british track athlete to take part in the olympic games for more than a0 years. mike bushell went to st albans in hertfordshire to meet her. the student from st albans who is set to make history at the paris olympics. while her schoolmates take a holiday halfway through their a—levels, 17—year—old phoebe gill will be the youngest athlete on the british olympic team in over a0 years — a childhood dream she never thought possible just a few months ago. my coach mentioned it to me at the start of the season, actually, that there was a possibility, and ijust couldn't believe it, i was like, "what? that's silly!" but now i'm actually, like, going to this event, i've actually got through, it doesn't feel like i've gotten through — i still feel like i need to, like, prove myself in some sort of way, and ijust need to let it sink in that i'm actually going. phoebe started to believe when she broke a long—standing under—18 800m european record in belfast in may, in the middle
6:50 pm
of preparing for mock a—level exams at school. i remember being on the plane back and seeing all the instagram posts and i was like, "oh, it was a record — wow, that's amazing." and then i was back in the classroom pretending like nothing had happened. and i think it's really good because sometimes when you do a race like that, it can constantly be in your head and you're thinking about it. so it's been good to — you know, having to focus on studies whilst everything's been going on. a month later, phoebe confirmed her place on the olympic team by winning the british 800m title at the uk championships in manchester... phoebe gill takes the win! ..beating established stars and her idols — the likes ofjemma reekie. back in december, i went to lea valley for an indoor training session, and jemma was actually there, and i was asking for a photo because i was such a fan. and then to be racing alongside her was just incredible. and the fact that we just used each other to get to the line, i think it was... it really pushed me to finish. then coming away with the win was the most undescribable thing that could have happened.
6:51 pm
despite her record—breaking run up to the olympics, phoebe's very keen to keep her feet very much on the ground by deciding not to go away to some pre—olympic training camp or to paris early, but to stay here with her mates on her home—from—home track at st albans, right until the last minute before her event begins. i think it's really good to keep the normality for as long as possible. it's great that, after a hard session, we canjust have banter with each other and just have a laugh. like any athlete, there are huge sacrifices... i just can't wait to share this, like, hotel and the olympic village with all these different athletes that i've been watching for so many years. once the gun goes off, itjust feels like me and the track, and, like, i'm the only person on that track, and i just can't wait to run with people i've been watching on the tv for so long! staying with athletics, it's always worth remembering that you haven't won until you're safely over the finish line. british teenagerjake odey—jordan learned that the hard way while competing in the heats of the 200 metres at the european athletics under 18
6:52 pm
championships in slovakia. as you can see he was well in front and guaranteed first place. but he looked around, decided he had loads of time to ease up. big mistake! he was overtaken and finished fifth, which meant he didn't progress from his heat. surely a lesson learned. wimbledon singles and doubles champion, alfie hewitt has been selected for the paralympics gb squad, where he'll try to win the only major title that has eluded him. hewitt won his first wimbledon singles title last weekend for the first time, and then — later that day — played alongside gordon reid to win the doubles trophy for a sixth time. hewitt is a triple silver paralympic medallist and will hope to go one better in paris. our own bbc sport team is helping to mark the countdown to the paris games by raising awareness of climate issues — alongside sport england. they're four days into a 500—mile bike ride from manchester to paris,

very memorable goals in real in 2016. those teams travelled yesterday to france by train, and with 250 miles still to go on this cycle, that sounds like a sensible idea. sarah dawkins their multitasking at its finest. just a reminder of our top story before we go. shane lowry leads on the second day of the open. he is in the clubhouse on seven under. dan brown just two shots behind and justin rose birdied the 16th and 18th to put himself alongside dan brown. but tiger woods is going home afterfinishing over after two days. as is rory mcelroy. that's all from sportsday. hello. today has brought the uk's hottest weather of the year so far. temperatures for some climbed into the low 30s celsius, and look at this beautiful scene sent in by a weather

watcher in dorset. there was quite a lot of sunshine in places. however, that wasn't the story everywhere. more cloud in the mix here in county down. northern ireland and parts of scotland have seen quite a lot of cloud in advance of this frontal system. this is going to be sweeping its way eastwards over the weekend, bringing some outbreaks of rain and bringing something cooler and fresher. but for the time being, pretty warm and humid through this evening and tonight. quite misty and murky for south—west england and for wales, and these outbreaks of rain spinning in across northern ireland and western scotland. overnight lows between 13—17, maybe around 18 degrees in some places. so we head into tomorrow, and these outbreaks of rain affecting northern ireland, western scotland and then some heavy rain spinning in across the south—west of england and wales. but for eastern scotland and eastern england, we will hold on to something drier and a little bit brighter. and staying pretty warm as well — 25, 26, maybe 27 degrees. could see the odd sharp shower breaking out across east anglia, other parts of eastern england, but through south—west england, wales, into north—west england,
6:58 pm
the isle of man, northern ireland, western scotland, we will see these outbreaks of rain, some of that rain on the heavy side. eastern scotland, say across aberdeenshire, likely to hold on to a bit more in the way of sunshine and temperatures into the low 20s celsius. now, as we head through saturday evening, we will see some of these heavy downpours pushing eastwards. we may see a few thunderstorms just clipping into the south—east corner, but all of that will sweep its way eastwards as we get into sunday, with a little temporary ridge of high pressure building in behind and some cooler, fresher air following from the atlantic. so a very different feel to the weather on sunday. some rain to start off across shetland, a residue of cloud across eastern england, then some spells of sunshine. but i think we will see a bit more cloud rolling its way in from the west through the day, perhaps giving one or two showers, but these temperatures north to south, 15—22 degrees. so certainly a cooler, fresher feel, and for the most part, we will stick with that into next week.

still feeling warm in any sunshine. it certainly won't be raining all the time, but there is some wet weather in the forecast. it's 7pm in london. this is the world today. chaos worldwide as a major it outage cripples
7:00 pm
industries across the globe. banks shut down, and thousands of flights are cancelled. the chief executive of the company responsible apologises, blaming the global outage on a "single faulty content update". and i want to start with saying we're deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our companies. in a landmark opinion, the un's top court says the occupation of all the palestinian territories by israel is illegal and needs to end "as rapidly as possible". several people have been arrested after violence broke out in a suburb of the city of leeds. also coming up on the world today — we'll be at the royal albert hall for one of the biggest events of the classical music calendar — the first night of the proms.
