6:37 pm
modern pentathlon title. choong went into the final laser run lying in 14th place. his points deficit meant he had to wait for 50 seconds after the start before he could set off. with such a big gap to close, it's no surprise, really. he did manage to make up 14 seconds to finish in ninth place. britain's kate french will be hoping to retain her olympic title from tokyo after qualifying fifth for tomorrow's pentathlon final. she took a break from the sport in 2023 after winning gold in tokyo. but she'll face some stiff competition from her fellow briton kerenza bryson. the european champion got off to a perfect start, with a clear run in the showjumping earning maximum points. the qualified doctor and army reservist also came out on top in the fencing and laser run, to break french's olympic record and finish top of their semifinal group. their final gets under way at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. let's have a quick look at some of the other olympic stories today. the usa have won the women's

are a hugely prosperous event for them. great britain have slipped down a place because of france's gold in the men's volleyball and they beat poland in that final earlier on today so britain is in sixth place with those 14 gold medals. you can see much more of that medals table and indeed follow all the olympic action from the stade de france and beyond on bbc one this evening. we are back at 730 but that is it from sportsday. goodbye for now. hello there. it's been quite breezy across northern areas today. further south we have seen much more cloud. a little bit of dampness in that as well. but through the rest of the weekend the temperatures are set to climb. there will be more sunshine around and it will turn more humid as well. these are the temperatures,
6:57 pm
though, this afternoon. we are getting up to the mid 20s across south—eastern areas even though we are seeing more cloud around here. some dampness heading its way towards east anglia later in the afternoon. but the cloud, for many, will tend to break up this evening and overnight. today is a bit cloudy and warmer towards the south, misty along the south coast. still some showers in the far north of scotland, although the winds are easing. but with clearer skies in the rest of scotland, northern ireland, northern england, down into wales, it will be a bit cooler than last night. temperatures could be as low as seven or 8 degrees. it will warm up quickly in the sunshine tomorrow. there will be fewer showers in northern scotland. a southerly breeze will pick up. it will tend to lift that misty low cloud and we will see some sunshine coming through across southern areas. and with the winds coming in from the south, those temperatures are set to rise. so, a warmer day on sunday but it is particularly warm across england and wales. temperatures towards the south—east could get close to 30 degrees later on in the day. it has been very hot in spain, and that heat is pushing through france and towards england and wales. it will be very hot for the closing ceremony of the olympics in paris,
6:58 pm
and that heat is coming in ahead of this weather front — an area of low pressure — and that is destabilising there. it is beginning to bring some thunderstorms overnight into monday, and some heavy rain. that wetter weather mainly for the northern half of the uk. further south, it is looking mostly dry. there will be more sunshine around, particularly towards the south—east, across east anglia, the midlands, up to lincolnshire. and this is where we have the heat and humidity. it is likely to be the hottest day of the year so far. could make 34 degrees, but you can see it is not hot everywhere. we have the rain further north and west. that will clear to give us some late sunshine in western scotland and northern ireland. and that weather front gets pushed away. another one comes in from the atlantic. this one will bring with it some outbreaks of rain into northern and western areas. but ahead of that, through the midlands and particularly towards the south—east, east anglia, it is still dry. it's still very warm, actually, here — temperatures 26 or 27 degrees. just not quite as hot or humid
