they the national park authority say they will do everything they can to protect the new shoots. another day dominated by heat and humidity for many of us. it peaked in surrey at 30 degrees, but it is coming at a price now. that humidity is sparking off a few sharp and thundery downpours, so this was earlier on. and if you take a look at what has been happening over the last few hours, you can really see this rash of slow—moving, sharp and thundery downpours developing across south wales, moving through parts of 0xfordshire, and they are heading towards the london area as we speak. we do have a yellow weather warning out because the winds are light. some of those thunderstorms could really hang around for quite some time and we could see a couple of inches of rain, maybe more. there could be some issues as we go through the evening. the showers were gradually pushed eastwards overnight. for many of us, it's

actually a quite night. with clearing skies and a bit of cloud gathering into the far north—west. a bit more comfortable for some of us to get a good night's sleep. but maybe in the south—east, still 17 degrees as an overnight low. we start tomorrow with the signs of change, with low pressure starting to dominate the weather story to the far north and west. not for all of us. it will bring more cloud with a southerly wind across northern ireland and the western fringes of scotland will gradually start to see some rain. early morning showers in east anglia easing away and then rickets and sunshine and once again, some warmth across england and wales. it will be dry in eastern scotland, but that cloud and rain are sitting to the north—west, bring are sitting to the north—west, bring a fresh feel. the weather front sinks slowly south and east, it weakens all the time. not a bad weekend for most of us, but a bit more changeable and fresher as we move into next week. that might come as welcome news.

thanks. and that's bbc news at six. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are. hello, and welcome to sportsday. i'm 0lly foster. controversy in the boxing arena as a previously banned female boxer is allowed to compete and the international olympic committee defend their eligibility rules. no golden goodbye for glover — she says she has no plans to carry on after silver in the four and family comes first. anybody want to have kids but do something for love, something that they are proud of, not only can they do it but they should be able to do it. and everybody in society should support that. also coming up on sportsday — with f1 on its summer break, we'll hearfrom lando norris as the sport looks to meet its environmental targets.

good evening, looking wrong. welcome along. we'll start with the olympic boxing competition, where the debate over the criteria for participation in women's sport has been reignited. the algerian imane khelif reached the world championship final last year, but was thrown out by the international boxing association, the iba, after failing an eligibility test. the ioc claim that was because of her increased levels of testosterone, but they say she has complied with their own regulations to compete in paris. and so to her opening fight in the last 16 this morning. it came in the 66kg welterweight division. khelif, in the red, who reached the quarterfinals at the tokyo games three years ago, landed two punches on her italian opponent angela carini. she conceded the fight after just 46 seconds, her coach saying that she had

damaged her nose. she refused to shake hands or acknowledge khelif after the fight and broke down in tears. translation: could have been the match of my — translation: could have been the match of my life. _ translation: could have been the match of my life. but _ translation: could have been the match of my life. but i _ translation: could have been the match of my life. but i need - translation: could have been the match of my life. but i need to - match of my life. but i need to protect my life as well. i could not bear the pain. protect my life as well. i could not bearthe pain. i protect my life as well. i could not bear the pain. i was not scared. i'm not scared of the rain. i'm not scared of getting hurt. but this time, there is a limit to everything, and i put a limit at this match. i'm here forthe i'm here for the gold cup i'm here forthe_ i'm here for the gold cup i'm here for the gold, and i fight everybody. khelif is actually one of two athletes disqualified from last year's world championships, but who are fighting in paris, taiwan's lin yu—ting, who failed a gender eligibilty test, competes tomorrow.

her sanction also came under the iba'sjurisdiction, and the governing body's ceo chris roberts says the ioc are wrong to let them compete in paris. it isa it is a terrible state of affairs. you _ it is a terrible state of affairs. you know. _ it is a terrible state of affairs. you know, we've _ it is a terrible state of affairs. you know, we've imposed - it is a terrible state of affairs. | you know, we've imposed that it is a terrible state of affairs. - you know, we've imposed that we have from 2022 _ you know, we've imposed that we have from 2022 he _ you know, we've imposed that we have from 2022 he went _ you know, we've imposed that we have from 2022 he went to _ you know, we've imposed that we have from 2022 he went to recon _ from 2022 he went to recon going into 2023 — from 2022 he went to recon going into 2023 to — from 2022 he went to recon going into 2023 to conclude. _ from 2022 he went to recon going into 2023 to conclude. and, - from 2022 he went to recon going into 2023 to conclude. and, you l into 2023 to conclude. and, you know, _ into 2023 to conclude. and, you know. we — into 2023 to conclude. and, you know. we took_ into 2023 to conclude. and, you know, we took a _ into 2023 to conclude. and, you know, we took a critical- into 2023 to conclude. and, you know, we took a critical action, i know, we took a critical action, which _ know, we took a critical action, which is — know, we took a critical action, which is right— know, we took a critical action, which is right and _ know, we took a critical action, which is right and proper- know, we took a critical action, which is right and proper for. know, we took a critical action, - which is right and proper for boxing family— which is right and proper for boxing family and — which is right and proper for boxing famiiyand out— which is right and proper for boxing family and out today, _ which is right and proper for boxing family and out today, the _ which is right and proper for boxing family and out today, the ioc- family and out today, the ioc applying _ family and out today, the ioc applying different— family and out today, the ioc applying different rules - family and out today, the ioc applying different rules and l applying different rules and regulations— applying different rules and regulations which— applying different rules and regulations which of- applying different rules and regulations which of course| applying different rules and i regulations which of course it applying different rules and - regulations which of course it is international— regulations which of course it is international governing - regulations which of course it is international governing body. regulations which of course it is| international governing body we regulations which of course it is - international governing body we are, you would _ international governing body we are, you would expect _ international governing body we are, you would expect them _ international governing body we are, you would expect them to _ international governing body we are, you would expect them to follow- international governing body we are, you would expect them to follow the| you would expect them to follow the same _ you would expect them to follow the same regulations— you would expect them to follow the same regulations that _ you would expect them to follow the same regulations that they- you would expect them to follow the same regulations that they are - you would expect them to follow the same regulations that they are not, i same regulations that they are not, and of— same regulations that they are not, and of course — same regulations that they are not, and of course that _ same regulations that they are not, and of course that that _ same regulations that they are not, and of course that that is _ same regulations that they are not, and of course that that is to today l and of course that that is to today and of course that that is to today and what — and of course that that is to today and what you _ and of course that that is to today and what you see _ and of course that that is to today and what you see in _ and of course that that is to today and what you see in the _ and of course that that is to today and what you see in the room. - many women can have testosterone which is in what will become melt levels and still be women and to complete his women. so this panacea, the idea that suddenly going to test for testosterone and that sort

everything out, not the case, i'm afraid. but i think we are all good and i hope we are all agreed that we are not going to going to the bad old days of flex testing. which was a terrible thing to do, and i'm sure we are all agreed that that is not the way forward. let's get more on this from dan roan, who is in paris. dan, the ioc have defended their position. the algerian 0lympic federation have condemned what they call baseless attacks on their athlete. khelif will fight again, and there are similar concerns over another athlete due to fight tomorrow. that's right. you referenced lin of taiwan, _ that's right. you referenced lin of taiwan, and — that's right. you referenced lin of taiwan, and that boxer will fight an opponent— taiwan, and that boxer will fight an opponent from its pakistan in an arena _ opponent from its pakistan in an arena on — opponent from its pakistan in an arena on the outskirts of paris tomorrow _ arena on the outskirts of paris tomorrow. this issue is not going away _ tomorrow. this issue is not going away it_ tomorrow. this issue is not going away it was— tomorrow. this issue is not going away. it was always going to be highly— away. it was always going to be highly controversial ever since it was revealed that these two

she finished out of the medals in tokyo, but this morning, with her children looking on, she narrowly missed out on a third gold in the women's four. unlike the women's quad, who reeled in the netherlands to win their race earlier in the week, glover — along with rebecca shorten, esme booth and sam redgrave — were unable to catch the dutch quartet. they finished 0.18 seconds behind to take silver. new zealand were third. glover is the first british mum of three to win an olympic medal, and she spoke to our senior sports news correspondent laura scott. i think you come away with them medal at el elephant games, its a big achievement. maybe it was that what we were kind of aiming for at the beginning of the week, but at the end of the day we were aiming to row our best rates and we did that today. row our best rates and we did that toda . ~ . . ., today. with children in the crowd, havin: today. with children in the crowd, having them _ today. with children in the crowd, having them medal— today. with children in the crowd, having them medal around - today. with children in the crowd, having them medal around her. today. with children in the crowd, l having them medal around her neck and waving to them and seen them go pretty nuts, what was that like for you? it pretty nuts, what was that like for ou? . , pretty nuts, what was that like for ou? ., , ' , pretty nuts, what was that like for ou? ., , , , ., pretty nuts, what was that like for ou? ., , ' , ., , ., you? it was differently what you think i would _ you? it was differently what you think i would think _ you? it was differently what you think i would think of _ you? it was differently what you think i would think of coming i think i would think of coming back and sharing thejourney

for the british pair of becky wilde and mathilda hodgkins byrne in the doubles sculls. hodgkins byrne took time away from the sport after the tokyo olympics to have her son freddie — now two — and wilde had surgery on both herforearms only ten months ago, so both were delighted with making it onto the podium behind new zealand and romania. there was an upset in the canoe slalom kayak final. great britain'sjoe clarke, reigning world champion who won gold in rio in 2016, finished out of the medals despite qualifying fastest for the final. our correspondent katie gornall sent us this from the vaires—sur—marne nautical stadium. this is a big disappointment forjoe clarke, he could not force his way onto the podium. he had come into this event as one of the favourites for gold. he was the reigning world champion. he and qualified fastest for this final, which meant he went last in the 12 man competition. he had to see the score to be in the

pace was set by the italian giovanni, who put down a barnstorming run. butjoe clarke gave everything in pursuit of that time, but a few minor mistakes on his run proved conflict was them in particular, he got held up in a rapid just before date seven. he was around have a second down at the halfway stage and then could not regain his momentum, eventually finishing down in fifth, almost a second off the bronze medal position. he held his head in his hands of the finish. he knew that he had made those mistakes, and that was the reason why he did not manage to force his way onto the podium. but you have to remember is well thatjoe clarke has come through an awful lot to get here. he won the gold medal in this event in rio, but controversially was not selected for the tokyo games even though at that time he was the reigning roll number one. in the intervening years, he lost a major sponsor. he and his now wife struggled financially, so he has come through all of this to make the start line here in paris and the

good news for him is that he does have another chance of a medal at these games. he is competing in the kayak cross next week. he is the reigning world champion in that event and there will be another shout for a gold medal there. disappointment forjoe clarke he was really in with a medal chance but finished fifth. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. the athletics programme starts tomorrow, and team gb's jake wightman is out of the games with a hamstring injury. the former 1500—metres world champion was due to compete in the 800—metres next week. he's been replaced by elliot giles. sky brown has been cleared to compete in next week's park skateboarding despite dislocating her shoulder in training last weekend. she won bronze in tokyo at the age of 13 years and 28 days to become team gb's youngest olympic medallist. tony gustavsson has stepped down as manager of australia's women's team after they were eliminated at the group stage of the olympic football tournament. the matildas finished third in group b after defeats

to the united states and germany. the british pair of katie boulter and heather watson are out of the doubles tennis, soundly beaten by the really strong italian pair of sara errani and french open finallist jasmina paolini. errani was also runner—up at roland—garros in the singles 12 years ago and is also a five—time grand slam doubles champion. really, really strong, the italians. they are seeded third in paris and won 6—3, 6—1. not such a happy birthday for boulter, 28 today. and there was huge shock in the women's singles, with the favourite iga swiatek going out in the semifinals. the polish top seed was beaten in straight sets by china's zheng qinwen, who ends swiatek�*s 25—match winning streak on the parisian clay. let's have a look at some

of course the olympics continue on day six and i can see some gymnastics going on on bbc two. we are waiting for andy murray in dan evans, who have saved seven match points along the way in the doubles. we will see how they go in the quarterfinals later. keep across that on the bbc sport app or website and the we will have updates throughout the evening here on bbc news. but for me and the rest of the sport state team, good night. hello there. it's been another hot and humid day. the heat and humidity one of the ingredients necessary for some massive thunderstorms to form. first signs of trouble, these towering cumulus clouds racing up through the earth's atmosphere. as well as the hot and humid air, the other ingredient

was this convergence zone. look how most of the showers form along this is zone. some particularly nasty storms, for example, around the 0xfordshire area, and those downpours are capable of bringing a month's worth of rain over the space of a couple of hours. so we're quite likely to see one or two areas hit by some flash flooding and disruption. other areas to watch out for — the south downs, maybe some other areas of east anglia and south—east england to watch out for over the next few hours. one or two of those storms, as i say, very nasty indeed. through the remainder of the night, eventually those storms will calm down. we'll be left with dry weather conditions for most areas, with some clear spells around. still quite warm and humid, particularly across central and eastern england. we've got this slightly fresher air with us in parts of scotland and northern ireland as well. now, heading into friday, an area of low pressure is set to bring some rain in from the north—west, and that band of rain is going to very slowly push its way eastwards through friday night and on into saturday. so taking about 36 hours or so to cross the uk.

now, friday, many of us will start the day on a dry and sunny note, but it won't be long before we see that band of heavy rain push into northern ireland and western scotland, with strengthening gusts of wind. england and wales, a lot of dry, sunny and very warm weather. however, there could be one or two thunderstorms popping up through the afternoon across parts of east anglia and the far south—east of england as well, so we'll need to keep a close eye on developments there. for saturday, the dregs of that weather front — this area of cloud, a few patches of rain — push into east anglia and south—east england before clearing. the rest of the uk, sunny spells, a few showers across the north—west, feeling fresher for many of us and even the temperatures across eastern england will start to fall back closer to average for the time of year. sunday, not a bad start to the day. most areas will see dry and sunny weather, but it turns cloudier across the north—west with outbreaks of rain for northern ireland and western scotland through the afternoon. temperatures on the whole quite close to average for the time of year. and then into next week, well, low pressure's often going to be close to the north—west of the uk, so it will be quite unsettled

across north—western areas. but some drier and sunny or weather towards the south—east.

it's 7pm in london. this is the world today with maryam moshiri. with ben browni. 26 people are free after one of the biggest prisoner swaps in recent history between russia and the west . in recent history between russia and the west. among those released the wall streetjournal reporter evan gershkovich. speaking from the white house alongside the family members of the released americans, president biden thanked us allies involved in mediating the exchange. moments ago, the families and i were able to speak to them on the telephone from the oval office. they are out of russia, earlier today they were flown to turkey. and soon they'll be wheels up on their way home to see their families. in the uk, the prime minister has announced new measures
