comfortable night eastern areas and comfortable night for sleeping. saturday morning starts cloudy. it takes its time to clear into the north sea but eventually will do into the afternoon. the skies brighten up. further north and west is blustery with showers. sunshine across the country generally but temperatures come down for all areas, 23 or 2a degrees in the south—east and we lose the humidity as well. high teens, low 20s further north and west. sunday not bad at all, another ridge of high pressure pumping up from the south, a of dry weather for large parts of england, wales, southern and eastern scotland so a lovely day here. the next weather front pushes into the north—west of the country, strong winds, outbreaks of heavy rain for northern ireland, northern and western scotland. mid to high teens here, 23, 20 4 degrees and lower humidity so very pleasant. next week, monday and tuesday, the

weather front slowly works eastwards once again as it tries to push into high pressure. quite a lot of... north and west of the country which will see more unsettled weather generally through the week. it will stay quite warm at times with a good deal of sunshine but certainly feeling fresher and cooler than it has done of late, sophie. thanks, stav. 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 — goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday on a golden day for britain in paris. i'm hugh ferris. the headlines this evening.

after losing out on a medal in tokyo by the tiniest of margins, imogen grant and emily craig make amends with gold in the lightweight double sculls. those tears were an 0utpouring 0f those tears were an 0utpouring of every party and wedding we've missed, every event. two — bryony page, britain's trampoline acrobat, adds a gold to the silver and bronze she already has, and three — anotherjumping gold, but with a bit of help this time. britain takes the team title at versailles on their best day of the olympics so far. also coming up on sportsday, one of the boxers at the centre of the eligibility controversy fights and wins, as the two organisations involved continue their war of words. and you know you're about halfway through the games when the athletics starts, with the women's 100 metres underw way on day one at the stade de france.

hello again. it has been a magnificent day seven for team gb at the paris olympics, their most successful so far, with even more medal prospects to come. three golds, the latest thanks to three men and their horses, as britain claimed the team show—jumping title. earlier, trampolinist bryony page completed her olympic set, her story has bounced around from silver, to bronze, to now gold, while the day started with a winner on the water, britain's second rowing gold. came courtesy of emily craig and imogen grant in the lightweight double sculls, which unlike a lot of the finals at vaires—sur—marne wasn't won by an oar�*s width, as katie gornall reports. three years ago, emily cragin image

anna watkins was a gold medallist from britain's most successful rowing games ever, london 2012, and she's been impressed with how the team, and their latest golden girls, have bounced back from three years ago. they just have to theyjust have to win it, they can't go through four years to put those to bed. it doesn't bear thinking about. i know that the picture on the wall of the photo finish from tokyo. that kind of anger, that kind of... that can really drive you through a final! i'm sure those emotions actually help them today. i was thinking plenty of unspeakable words about not coming forth again. sometimes it's hard results. how will that translate _ sometimes it's hard results. how will that translate to _ sometimes it's hard results. how will that translate to the likes of olie and tom? there is the difficulty because you can't

immediately go back into the water and avenge something like that. in terms of an athlete who has had to deal with both success and just missing out on success, how do you deal with how different they can be? it's incredibly hard. it's hard as an athlete to watch that pair's race. they raced it so well, so bravely, executed everything and 82, and inspect three strokes, just clipped the water like that. i know that they will replay those ten strokes in the race in their minds for the rest of their lives. maybe they'll win in the future and they will be double medalists. but it's just, when you put everything into it like just, when you put everything into it like that just, when you put everything into it like that and just, when you put everything into it like that and you just, when you put everything into it like that and you are just, when you put everything into it like that and you are nood just, when you put everything into it like that and you are onod enounh it like that and you are good enough to win, its crushing, it's devastating. to think the rowers will be feeling the wounds with real empathy.

but that's why the gold medals mean so much. ~ �* ., ., ., so much. we're almost halfway to the names, so much. we're almost halfway to the games. but — so much. we're almost halfway to the games. but with _ so much. we're almost halfway to the games, but with the _ so much. we're almost halfway to the games, but with the eighth _ so much. we're almost halfway to the games, but with the eighth to - so much. we're almost halfway to the games, but with the eighth to come l games, but with the eighth to come all of these rollers would be facing next week the olympic come down. —— rowers. they will be assessing everything physically about the toil of the games. how do you cope with that? whether successful or otherwise, how do you deal with what comes afterwards giving the intensity that has come before? yeah, i think it will be something that every athlete faces. i remember after beijing, it was coloured by not quite achieving gold. in london, i did achieve gold. there is still a real roller coaster to it. i think the first thing that i said to ackley �*s is to expect that is normal and one thing athletes are really great at is compartmentalising the rest of their life. what they aren't good at is

going the other way and compartmentalising the sport! that's the trick they have to pull over the next few weeks to remember there's a real world out there. there's help with transition support, better than it's ever been. i wouldn't like any out till my athlete to say they've been feeling —— to feel like they've been doing this on their own there is help available. well, if the rowing results have improved significantly from the last olympics, the british equestrian team are matching the heights of tokyo. two golds then, two golds now, thanks to ben mayor, scott brash and harry charles winning the team show—jumping title. having qualified for the final with the third best score, they led it throughout, with mayor the first of the three to jump clear. just his and this final round from brash incurred one time penalty point,

but no other team avoided knocking part of a fence over. those two have won golds before, while it's harry charles' first, following in the footsteps of his dad peter who was a winner at london 2012 alongside his current team—mates. i think you get a mix of emotions. relief is one. he's a sharp, sensitive _ relief is one. he's a sharp, sensitive horse, so with the crowd so good, — sensitive horse, so with the crowd so good, it — sensitive horse, so with the crowd so good, it would make life a little bit difficult. you cope with that amazingly, and i'm really proud of him _ amazingly, and i'm really proud of him i_ amazingly, and i'm really proud of him. ~ .. amazingly, and i'm really proud of him. ~ ., ., him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best — him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man _ him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man to _ him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man to do _ him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man to do it, _ him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man to do it, but - him. i knew when scott went hand, we have the best man to do it, but we - have the best man to do it, but we did leave _ have the best man to do it, but we did leave in — have the best man to do it, but we did leave in the _ have the best man to do it, but we did leave in the margin. _ have the best man to do it, but wej did leave in the margin. that could have _ did leave in the margin. that could have been— did leave in the margin. that could have been of— did leave in the margin. that could have been of little _ did leave in the margin. that could have been of little bit _ did leave in the margin. that could have been of little bit expensive, l have been of little bit expensive, but they— have been of little bit expensive, but they had _ have been of little bit expensive, but they had it _ have been of little bit expensive, but they had it well _ have been of little bit expensive, but they had it well in _ have been of little bit expensive, but they had it well in hand - have been of little bit expensive, but they had it well in hand and i but they had it well in hand and honestly— but they had it well in hand and honestly was _ but they had it well in hand and honestly was two _ but they had it well in hand and honestly was two of _ but they had it well in hand and honestly was two of the - but they had it well in hand and - honestly was two of the best writing rounds _ honestly was two of the best writing rounds in _ honestly was two of the best writing rounds in a — honestly was two of the best writing rounds in a very— honestly was two of the best writing rounds in a very long _ honestly was two of the best writing rounds in a very long time. - honestly was two of the best writing rounds in a very long time.- rounds in a very long time. these two bo s rounds in a very long time. these two boys were — rounds in a very long time. these two boys were on _ rounds in a very long time. these two boys were on the _ rounds in a very long time. these two boys were on the team - rounds in a very long time. these two boys were on the team of - rounds in a very long time. these two boys were on the team of myj rounds in a very long time. these - two boys were on the team of my dad. it's unbelievable to stand next to them on the podium.

if today's two other golds satisfied that old cliche about britain being good at sports that require sitting down, the third could not be more different. bryony page twisted tucked and turned her way to an olympic title on the trampoline. laura scott has more. britain have never won gold in the trampolining at the olympics before. in bryony page, they had a medalists. she came in here as favourite, but she said she felt more nervous than she had everfelt before. but she soared through the sky and when the final gymnast faulted, gold was hers. when she spoke afterwards with her medal around her neck, it was clear it still has not sunk in.— still has not sunk in. i “ust feel so loved and t still has not sunk in. ijust feel so loved and supported. - still has not sunk in. ijust feel so loved and supported. this l still has not sunk in. ijust feel| so loved and supported. this is amazing having everyone come to this side of the arena. i knew a medal

guaranteed them a medal. they were beaten to silver by the mexican team with the final dive of the whole competition, while another gold for china means they're on course for a diving clean sweep. i always believed i could make it to the olympics. it's been very difficult _ the olympics. it's been very difficult. gb team is so strong and to get— difficult. gb team is so strong and to get on— difficult. gb team is so strong and to get on the team is so hard. to 'ust to get on the team is so hard. to just be _ to get on the team is so hard. to just be on— to get on the team is so hard. to just be on the team and just be an olympian— just be on the team and just be an olympian is— just be on the team and just be an olympian is the thing i've been dreaming — olympian is the thing i've been dreaming of. to get a medal with jack is _ dreaming of. to get a medal with jack is amazing. dreaming of. to get a medal with jack is amazing.— dreaming of. to get a medal with jack is amazing. jack, how are you feelin: jack is amazing. jack, how are you feeling about _ jack is amazing. jack, how are you feeling about all— jack is amazing. jack, how are you feeling about all this? _ jack is amazing. jack, how are you feeling about all this? absolutelyl feeling about all this? absolutely fantastic. we _ feeling about all this? absolutely fantastic. we had _ feeling about all this? absolutely fantastic. we had a _ feeling about all this? absolutely fantastic. we had a really - feeling about all this? absolutely fantastic. we had a really good . feeling about all this? absolutely i fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky— fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start — fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start i— fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start. i pulled _ fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start. i pulled out— fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start. i pulled out the - fantastic. we had a really good day, shaky start. i pulled out the bag - shaky start. i pulled out the bag with my— shaky start. i pulled out the bag with my hard _ shaky start. i pulled out the bag with my hard drives. _ shaky start. i pulled out the bag with my hard drives. i'm - shaky start. i pulled out the bag with my hard drives. i'm proud i shaky start. i pulled out the bagl with my hard drives. i'm proud of what _ with my hard drives. i'm proud of what we — with my hard drives. i'm proud of what we have _ with my hard drives. i'm proud of what we have done. _ with my hard drives. i'm proud of what we have done. we - with my hard drives. i'm proud of what we have done. we had - with my hard drives. i'm proud ofi what we have done. we had some with my hard drives. i'm proud of- what we have done. we had some real ups and _ what we have done. we had some real ups and downs — what we have done. we had some real ups and downs this _ what we have done. we had some real ups and downs this year. _ what we have done. we had some real ups and downs this year. we _ what we have done. we had some real ups and downs this year. we worked . ups and downs this year. we worked extremely— ups and downs this year. we worked extremely hard _ ups and downs this year. we worked extremely hard on _ ups and downs this year. we worked extremely hard on everything. - ups and downs this year. we worked extremely hard on everything. you l extremely hard on everything. you talk about— extremely hard on everything. you talk about your _ extremely hard on everything. you talk about your triple _ extremely hard on everything. you talk about your triple and - extremely hard on everything. you talk about your triple and how - extremely hard on everything. you talk about your triple and how you | talk about your triple and how you do it, _ talk about your triple and how you

failed a gender test last year, won her first fight of the games taiwanese boxer lin yutin, whose inclusion at the paris olympics has sparked controversy after she was reported to have failed a gender test last year, won her first fight of the games in the women's 57—kilogram category. lin entered the arena in paris to cheers, which were then followed by some boos, before winning on a unanimous points decision against sitora turdibekova of uzbekistan — like algerian imane khelif, who progressed yesterday in a bout that lasted just 46 seconds, lin was banned by the international boxing association but has been allowed to compete at the olympics, which are run by the ioc. -- lin yu —— lin yu ting. the international olympic committee has said the two fighters were "suddenly disqualified" at the world championships last year "without due process". while the iba insist their ban was to "to uphold the level of fairness and integrity of the competition". and the difference of opinion over eligibility rules was clear at the ioc�*s daily

finishing just over three minutes and seven seconds, beating the previous record, also set by the usa — by more than a second. it was great britain's turn in the second heat of the evening — and no world record this time, but there was a british record as the team came through to win their heat — finishing just ahead of the netherlands, with italy in third. the final is tomorrow night. a good start too for team gb in the individual events, with gemma reekie kicking things off. she won the first heat of the 800 metres — in a time of exactly two minutes. the win means reekie comfortably qualifies for the semifinals, which happen on sunday. two more british athletes to come, in two more heats tonight, as phoebe gill and keely hodgkinsoin both set to compete. there's more than athletics still to come this evening in paris, and the other venues could well deliver more medals for team gb. beth shriever is the defending champion in the bmx racing, and she's in semifinal action in the next half an hour having won all three of her quarter final runs, while kye whyte goes in the men's semis.

in the pool, it's the night the fastest swimmer in the world will be crowned. ben proud qualified quickest for the 50 metres freestyle final, he's hoping to add an olympic title to ones at european, commonwealth, and world level. and duncan scott will be trying to stop france's poster boy leon marchand win his fourth gold of the games. they're up against each other in the final of the 200 metres individual medley, and when they met in the heats yesterday, scott won. those events could yield three more medals there have been the same marshall did admit that he had four hours only of sleep. those events could yield three more medals. there have been the same number of golds already today. three women, three men, three horses. imogen grant and emily craig, bryony

page and the showjumping team have provided team gb with their best day of paris 2024 so far. and talking of three those medals took britain up to third in the table for a while. china are still top with the usa second, france third, but like them, britain in fourth have nine golds now — 25 overall. there will be more to come a little bit later on. you can follow it live on the bbc and on iplayer. that's it for sportsday. thanks for watching, bye—bye for now. hello there. we'll get into the forecast in just a moment. but first of all, i thought we'd look back at the massive thunderstorms that developed during thursday across central england. thunderstorms that developed during thursday across central england. these huge storms brought 35mm of rain to fairford in gloucestershire, in the space ofjust one hour. the result of downpours that intense and some

of the heaviest i've seen all year, was some severe flooding in parts of guildford. we also had reports of flooding elsewhere in surrey, hampshire and oxfordshire as well. now, looking at the weather picture overnight tonight, we've got a weak weather front that's pushing its way eastwards across england and wales. with that there will be a bit of rain, but it'll turn increasingly light and patchy. maybe a few mist and fog patches around. fresherair, meanwhile, gets into scotland and northern ireland as the rain moves out of the way and clearer skies follow, so more comfortable conditions for the northwest of the uk. still quite humid in the east. that's where we start off the story on saturday, still with cloud and patchy outbreaks of rain for east anglia and south east england, although that should clear through the morning. what follows is sunny spells for most of the country, with just a few showers working into the afternoon across parts of scotland and northern ireland. temperatures near average for this time of the year, but feeling a lot less humid across eastern england in particular. second half of the weekend, while another area of low pressure is on the way. that's going to be bringing rain to northern ireland and western scotland, where it will also be increasingly windy.

gusts could reach around a0 or 50 miles an hour here. still a lot of dry weather for england and wales, with some bright or sunny spells coming through the cloud. temperatures high teens to low 20s. now, that weather front across the north west of the uk is a particularly slow—moving front, that's going to take, essentially, a couple of days to cross the uk. and so because it's slow—moving, we really see those rainfall totals build up, especially across parts of western scotland, where we might see some localised surface water flooding building in during monday. here is monday's chart, then — outbreaks of rain, northern ireland and scotland, often heavy across western scotland with a risk of localised flooding. england and wales a lot of dry weather, and across the south in the east it will probably turn increasingly sunny and humid and warm if not hot. temperatures could hit 27 celsius in norwich. once that band of rain, though, has gradually pushed its way eastwards across the country and cleared, we're looking at a number of showers for the rest of the week, especially across northwestern areas. bye for now.
