4:50 pm
is insecure, there's an argument that so ingebrigtsen after—care makes all these comments and ingebrigtsen says well i could win blindfolded, i could beat him 98 times at 400 and i will definitely mint when the lipid final so... after the semifinal, see reference that he was going to settle scores on tuesday. a lot has been said that he was to settle it. we on tuesday. a lot has been said that he was to settle it.— he was to settle it. we are about to be at a time. _ he was to settle it. we are about to be at a time, could _ he was to settle it. we are about to be at a time, could you _ he was to settle it. we are about to be at a time, could you think- he was to settle it. we are about to be at a time, could you think will. be at a time, could you think will win? i be at a time, could you think will win? ., ., ~ ., , . ., be at a time, could you think will win? ., . ~' . , . ., , win? i would make a prediction but, it will no win? i would make a prediction but, it will go right _ win? i would make a prediction but, it will go right the _ win? i would make a prediction but, it will go right the most _ win? i would make a prediction but, it will go right the most likely. - thank you very much for your thoughts. you are watching bbc news, to stay with us. well let's get some more reaction now from the olympic fan zone here in london where our reporter emily brown has been speaking to the british olympic swimmer,

4:57 pm
and then more showers through the early hours as we get closer to the centre of this low pressure, which is approaching the uk. but elsewhere it's mostly clear, particularly in the east central areas and further south, and whether you're in the north or the south, temperatures will be about the same early in the morning on wednesday between 10 and 13 celsius. so here's that low pressure with its cluster of showers sweeping you across western and northwestern scotland. showers also further south into northern england, northern ireland, some also around merseyside, and blustery winds further north. in fact, gusts could approach or exceed 40 miles an hour. further south, it scattered fair weather clouds. a decent breeze but pleasant enough 23 in london, around 18 in glasgow and then on thursday, as one area of low pressure pulls away, the next one comes in. this is going to bring extensive layers of cloud initially to many western and south—western parts of the uk. so it starts off quite bright in the east. but then heavier rain will spread into north—western england,
4:58 pm
across northern ireland and eventually into parts of scotland. but it does look as though east anglia and the south east could just about stay dry through most of the day and the far north of scotland too. so that's thursday. how about end of the week? well, that low pressure pulls away in its wake. still, a weather front drapes across scotland, so that means thicker cloud and some showers, but also quite blustery weather. once again, 40 mile an hour winds to the south of that. it's going to be a breezy day, but a generally sunny day. and despite the wind, still up to about 25 degrees, i think in london and typically the low 20s further north. so that's the week. how about the weekend? after a fairly changeable week, it does look as though things gradually through the weekend could actually turn very warm across many parts of england. and there are signs that we could get something really quite hot early in the week, but it's just a low chance for now. bye.
