noah williams has a second prize from his paris dives. he too secures a bronze for team gb. also coming up on sportsday: the teams are the same, but the result is different. city's revenge for their cup final loss is to beat united on penalites in the community shield. and the championship�*s back, and so is the drama. leeds provide the highlight of the efl�*s first saturday of the season. hello again, and welcome to sportsday on the penultimate day of the paris olympics. one without a gold so far for great britain, but medals nonetheless, including at the stade de france, so let's start the programme there and head to our correspondent

natalie pirks. natalie, we've just seen a remarkable women's 1,500 metres, part of which was a bronze for britain. honestly, one word to describe that a 1500 metre final and that is rapid. georgia belljust won the race of her life for prawns and she took a 1k seconds, that's right, 1a seconds off her personal best for that bronze and it was a national record and she got an olympic record. —— the race of her life for bronze. last time around in tokyo, georgia bell was sitting on her sofa watching it and it reignited her passion and she got into a park run and she was actually born in paris or maybe it was fated for her to be here and claim that medal and as a cybersecurity expert she was on a sabbatical and clearly that was the right decision. faith kipyegon has

become the first woman admits all of that you win three olympic titles in a single track discipline and laura muir had a personal best and came in fifth place and that tells you how quick it was and she has spoken to the bbc and she is really happy with the bbc and she is really happy with the way she ran it and she plans to run it that way and she would have liked to have been on the podium but she was happy for her team—mate. and we thought that yacob and gilbertson of norway is just to the side of me being interviewed and he won and he had a tussle in the final lap but it came through and in the end he was way ahead of everyone else and that is redemption after he lost the 1500 metres and an even get a medal so he has come through and shown his quality today. —— jakob ingebrigtsen of norway. just quality today. -- jakob ingebrigtsen of norwa ., , ., , quality today. -- jakob ingebrigtsen ofnorwa ., , ., , ., quality today. -- jakob ingebrigtsen ofnorwa. , of norway. just the medals to come which originally _ of norway. just the medals to come which originally bring _ of norway. just the medals to come which originally bring down - of norway. just the medals to come which originally bring down the - which originally bring down the curtain on the athletics at the olympics. it curtain on the athletics at the olympia-— curtain on the athletics at the olmics. , olympics. it has been happy hunting round so olympics. it has been happy hunting ground so far _ olympics. it has been happy hunting ground so far for _ olympics. it has been happy hunting ground so far for the _ olympics. it has been happy hunting ground so far for the men _ olympics. it has been happy hunting ground so far for the men and - olympics. it has been happy hunting l ground so far for the men and women of team gb and the us are one of the

reigning champions and botswana have looked stronger but britain could well get on the podium with that and then with the women's, the british women qualify strongly behind the usa and the usa are broadly the favourites for that but again britain should have some hope of getting up on the podium especially of amber getting up on the podium especially ofamberadding getting up on the podium especially of amber adding comes back in and she set a record last night so that could be ending the athletics on a strong notes for britain a little bit later. . ~ strong notes for britain a little bit later. ., ~ , ., , . bit later. thank you very much, natalie pirks _ bit later. thank you very much, natalie pirks at _ bit later. thank you very much, natalie pirks at the _ bit later. thank you very much, natalie pirks at the stade - bit later. thank you very much, natalie pirks at the stade de i bit later. thank you very much, - natalie pirks at the stade de france for us. before the action at the stade de france, just a single bronze for team gb today. that came from noah williams in the diving, although there is a guarantee there'll be more away from the athletics this evening, as ben croucher reports. on the edge of glory, noah williams onlyjust qualified for the men's ten—metre platform final and slowly but surely, or at other times, more

impressively, he grew in stature, twisting impressively before the last dive had to be perfect. oh, my goodness! that is going to be it! a brilliant bronze to accompany his syncro silver. it is literally a dream and i said that last time but individually winning a medal yourself is a whole other level and i don't think it has sunk in because i am nowhere near as emotional as last time. guaranteed at least one better in the grand palais. from great britain, into the olympic final for the first time ever! - kaden cunningham is undefeated so far and one more win and the man from huddersfield will be an olympic champion. so fari so far i have beaten two olympic medallists and one champion. it is a good day and i feel good and it is what i have been working

towards and i knew i could do it and it is a bit tough but what is the point of coming if it wasn't going to be a tough day? up bright and early for a sightseeing tour of the french capital with the eiffel tower, the louvre, the chateau de versailles and with winning the olympic marathon in a record time, it was also a landmark moment for emile kerris. i didn't want to leave anything on the course and really gave my best and gave 100% and i have no regrets. erin macneice was in contention in the women's bouldering lead but in striving for greater height, ended up in fifth. great britain are currently almost right in the middle of the medal target range. in the last quarter of an hour, britain'sjoe choong was unable to retain his modern pentathlon title. ahmed elgendy broke the world record as he won egypt's

first gold medal of the games, beating japan's taishu sato by 13 seconds. italy's giorgio malan claimed bronze. 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 even set off. that gap proved impossible to close, although he did manage to make up 1a 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 final. she took a break from the sport in 2023 after winning that gold in tokyo. but she'll face some stiff competition, not least 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 semi—final group. the final gets underway 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 football gold for a fifth time, with mallory swanson providing the only goal in a 1—0 win over brazil in the final at the parc des princes. it's emma hayes�* first trophy as the usa manager, having taken over just before the olympics. new zealand's lydia ko has completed her olympic medals set with a gold in the women's golf. the former world number one claimed the title by two shots after final round 71, finishing with a birdie on the 18th. it left her 10 under par at le golf national. the bronze medal in the men's basketball was won by serbia, with nba superstar nikola jokic helping them comfortably beat germany to seal a place on the podium. later, the usa go for a fifth straight gold in the final against france. still some more action to come at the stade de france before the evening is done. last night in the stade de france

brought a long—awaited olympic medal for katarina johnson—thompson — twice a world champion, but it took until these games for a silver medal to arrive. she's been talking to jeanette kwakye and jj chalmers on the bbc�*s olympic coverage. our day two was very short, between having to go direct from the long jump to the javelin and then stew on what we had to run in the 800 for about seven hours. so it was like me trying to nap, or me trying to sleep for five hours butjust being alone with my thoughts in the end. you won the first heat in that. so what is it like to lay down the performance you are looking for and then stand down to the side and have to watch the others go? it is really hard and it is twists and turns in that event and i then i was one of the first to take part in the long jump but then the last in the other events but yes, it is just part of the event

and part of, can you respond or can you lay it down for others to respond? i kind of love it and i love that competition and i love that i was in a place to be able to respond this time around. one thing that has been great watching in the last two years| isjust how much you have changed. with particular events and how much you have got better, for example. so, with the shot put, _ we could see how much it meant to you when you threw that shot, i sojust your smile and reaction. i what was that about? i have been working on being more aggressive and less inhibited and i think that definitely showed in the shot put and this has been beyond my wildest dreams. it is testament to where _ you are as an athlete but everybody knew it would come down to a foot race at the 800 metres, _ and you knew what you had to do. so speak about your emotions and managing to that point. . how was that for you? it was hard. you think about all the different

scenarios and ways to run it and i felt that last year as well going into budapest, i knew i needed to run out of my skin to be able to medal and luckily i had this practice in budapest that i was able to then know... anna hall is an incredible athlete and she always gives it her all and gives it her best and i was trying to cling to her as closely as i could. it was great practice in budapest and i was happy to come away with another personal best and to get under that this year, i just left it all on the track and i have no regrets about how i ran that. with a day to go of the paris olympics, the next hosts are already looking four years ahead. organisers of la28 are promising a "no car" games to try to combat los angeles' notorious traffic problems, while they've also been explaining why they've chosen some new sports among the 36 that'll be on show.

we want to have the greatest sports programme in the history of the olympics because we are a great sporting city. so we're bringing some of the most important, traditional, most meaningful sports in our country — baseball, softball and flag football — and some of the most important, most accessible sports in the world like cricket and squash. the 36 sports we have will mean this will be the greatest collection of athletes the history of the world has ever seen in one place. never mind 2028, the 28th of august is when the paris paralympics begin, and the president of the international paralympic committee is hopeful they'll be able to sell the more than one million tickets still available. andrew parsons has been explaining why. in ticket sales, we are at around 1.3 million tickets sold at the moment and we understand that normally in the last week of the olympics and immediately after the closing ceremony of the olympics is the peak, that is what we saw in rio de janeiro and london and beijing and that is what we expect.

we believe that the parisians that were not in paris during the games, they will have the feeling of, "oh, "i want to experience that as well" and they will do that during the paralympics. 1.3 million sold, but what is the capacity and how many are still available? there are more than 1 million tickets still available and the trend is going like this, so we believe we will sell a large amount of tickets, we may not sell out during the very first days of the paralympics but we believe as the games go on, we will see full stadia for every competition. with the olympics still going, a reminder today that the new premier league season is just around the corner. the community shield brought back to wembley the two teams that contested the fa cup final there just over two months ago. but there was a different winner, with manchester city beating manchester united on penalties. joe lynskey has more. the curtain—raiser for the season,

the show that rarely stops. it is less than four weeks since the euros final. english football returned with a manchester derby. a community shield fixture that is hard to call a friendly. four 81 minutes, it went back and forth. city went close and united went for it from range. joy for bruno fernandes was cut short by the flag. but it was some finish! but united have brought in a new coach with a purpose, ruud van nistelrooy, their former striker here to help the manager and tell the strikers how to finish. it isa it is a terrific finish! 1—0, lift off, but city won't hear to let weren't here to let

the neighbours gain relief and they took this match to penalties and whenjohnny evans guide his, city had the kick to win it and manuel oak and jeep missed one for switzerland at the euros and the top flight starts on friday and the champions are up and running. joe lynskey, bbc news. they've already started in the efl, and the first saturday of the new season brought enough reminders about what's in store for the next nine months. leeds scored a dramatic late equaliser to rescue a point against promoted portsmouth in the championship. portsmouth thought they had won the game when callum lang scored from the spot — his second of the game making it 3—2 in the second minute of injury time. but there was still time for brenden aaronson to get a third for leeds in the 95th minute. it finished 3—3 at elland road. oxford united celebrated their return to the championship for the first time since 1999 by beating norwich city 2—0. cameron brannagan doubled oxford's lead in the second half, handing new norwich boss hoff thorup a defeat in his first match in charge. elsewhere, watford scored a late winner to beat millwall. josh major got a hattrick in west brom's win at qpr.

middlesbrough�*s victory over swansea is their first on the opening day of a season for ten years. while stoke and sunderland also won, and a last—minute penalty gave hull a draw against bristol city. wrexham are back in league one for the first time in 19 years and have got off to an impressive start. they beat wycombe 3—2, and there is already an early contender for goal of the season — this superb effort from jack marriott was wrexham's second. dundee's solid start to the scottish premiership season has continued after they beat hearts at 3—1 dens park to go top of the table. scott tiffoney put dundee ahead after 20 minutes. gerard taylor then scored an own goal, followed by a luke mccowan penalty. frankie kent pulled one back for hearts. dundee have played two and won two. rangers are beginning the scottish premiership season in the strange surroundings of hampden park while their ibrox renovations are completed. but it didn't seem to make much difference. they beat motherwell 2—1 to register their first league win of the season — all the goals in the first 2a minutes of the match.

elsewhere, ross county and dundee united drew 1—1. champions celtic have kicked off the scottish women's premier league season with an emphatic 9—0 trouncing of dundee united. celtic were 3—0 up at the break, with lucy ashworth—clifford opening the scoring after almost half an hour. united then let in six more goals, with maria mcaneny completing the rout with a late double. next, let's bring you the transfer stories of the day. tottenham have comleted the signing of dominic solanke from bournemouth in a deal worth up to £65 million. spurs will pay an initial £55 million with £10 million in add—ons for the striker, who's signed a six—year contract. bayern munich have accepted a bid from manchester united of nearly £40 million, plus £4 million in add—ons for matthijs de ligt. the defender was captain of ajax when current united boss erik ten hag took them to the champions league final in 2019. one player who looks to be on his way out of old trafford is defender aaron wan—bissaka. he joined the club from

crystal palace five years ago, and now looks set to return to london with united reaching an agreement with west ham. the player will undergo a medical tomorrow. meanwhile, west ham have signed france defenderjean—clair todibo. the centre—backjoins from nice on an initial season—long loan, with an obligation to make the transfer permanent next summer the transfer permanent next summer for £34 million. and liverpool have agreed a deal to sell fabio carvalho to brentford in a deal worth £27.5 million, including add—ons. liverpool signed the portugese forward from fulham for £5 million and fulham will receive 20% of the profit from carvalho's move. british number one katie boulter lost in straight sets to aryna sabalenka in the third round of the canadian open. the second seed from belarus won 6—3, 6—3 injust under an hour and a half, but boulter produced an encouraging performance with the us open starting in two weeks' time. kyren pollard hit five consecutive

sixes as southern brave beat trent rockets to move level on points with hundred leaders oval invincibles. rockets set a target of 127 and looked to be heading for victory until pollard arrived and began his onslaught. all five of his sixes came from the bowling of rashid khan. so, brave — one place off the top, but trent rockets remain fourth. england test captain ben stokes has been playing in the hundred this year for the first time since its first. his team, the northern superchargers, currently sit in one of the top three places in the table. those are the ones that give you a chance to win the trophy. but he's also been spending some time at hawthorn primary school, in newcastle, to find out how charity chance to shine are delivering free cricket sessions in state schools. coming to hawthorn here this morning and seeing a group of kids just enjoying the sport, it is something i have been lucky enough to make a career out of but sometimes you actually forget that when you were at that age you did it for enjoyment.

teachers have talked about some children that may be like focus children that maybe lack focus and can't always concentrate for a full lesson in class but have managed to do that in the cricket lessons, and that has been a real positive. it's about making sure the opportunity is given to everyone to be able to partake in cricket. sometimesjoining a club and all that stuff is very hard for families. bringing cricket and sports and more pe time into school is obviously going to be good for that. i think for so many families it has become incredibly challenging to be able to find the money to pay for sport, so we really need to make sure that those opportunities are available to everybody. not only it is great from the physical point of view but i think also just

you teaching kids from a young age about what it is about to be part of the team and how rewarding it can be notjust the success from sports but also the hardships you go through with it as well. applause how did you first feel - when you played for england? very, very nervous and something i tell my kids when they get nervous about things is that it is good to get nervous because it you really care about it. i still get nervous now and i have played a lot cricket and have played a lot of games in front of thousands of people and i still get nervous. i was very lucky that my school was committed to the pe side of things as well as the education. we had very good facilities, but that is not the case with every school. this stuff here today is more about the schools that don't have those facilities. you look around and every single child has a smile on their face, and at that age, that is what you are looking for and what you hope to see. we'll finish by returning to paris.

and even if you've been glued to the coverage, the official announcers are people you never see, but you'll always hear. nacer zorgani has been doing the job at the boxing, calling fights despite being visually impaired. our reporter andy stevenson has been to meet him. the moment we are live and i say, "so, paris, are you ready?", yes, it's crazy! cindy ngamba! applause people in this arena may not know that you are visually impaired because they just hear your voice.

my genetic disease is retinitis pigmentosa, so my eyesight decreases over time and before i was able to fight because i was a boxer before but now i am 38 and i can see colours and silhouettes. how did you get into being a boxing announcer? 2017, i discovered michael buffer and thought, "what a great man and what a greatjob" and it would be lovely to do that, and then i was starting to imitate michael buffer and say, "we are ready!" and then thanks to some french promoters i started to announce one match and two and then last year they proposed to me to speak in the test event here and then they told me it will be a games transmission. wow! what challenge does your visual impairment create? many challenges and doing this alone it would be impossible because the advantage of a normal announcer is that he is able to read and i have my double—check team that say, and i have my double—check team that say, "ok, next bout, red is...

"blue is..." and they say, "yes, no, yes, no." from uzbekistan. who is he? abdul ali. next bout, from uzbekistan, abdul ali! they told me, "listen, what do you need?" and they do everything to make me comfortable and we will adapt. i listen to the crowd and even though i can't see them i feel them and it is great. so many people that make the paris games take and so many of them you don't see but you certainly feel them. let's hearfrom georgia bell. i am in a very good mood and i don't know if i've ever been this happy but that was an absolutely crazy race and i woke up very calm and in

a very good mood today and i thought that i am not the fastest person in that i am not the fastest person in that race but i thought if i was brave and just got stuck in i would make something happen so yes, i am at over the moon olympic medallist. not only that but a british record and 1a seconds off her personal best so let's see what that has done to britain's position on the medal board and it hasn't changed it has given an extra one if you look at the total to 59, at the same as france which is a gold better because of their result in the men's volleyball tournament earlier, leaving them in fifth place. china got four to the united states' to today and for emma hayes in the women's football and fought masai russell in the 100 metre hurdles which took place in the stade de france this evening so could that be a lead that china takes to the end

of the olympic games? we do have some four by 200 metre relay switch could well take the us level with china and could also provide great britain with a little bit more with kayden cunningham also going for gold in the tae kwon do and you can follow that on bbc one but that is all from sportsday for now. hello there. it's been turning dryer for england and wales — the cloud breaking up as well. further north though, we've had more sunshine, breezy conditions too — a few showers in scotland and temperatures today have been about average. but in the next couple of days we're going to get a heat spike. temperatures are going to rise rapidly, humidity too. not everywhere, though — there will be some rain and thunderstorms in places as well. looking dry on the whole overnight. fewer showers across northern scotland. the winds becoming lighter as well. still got some cloud across the south of england, misty and murky along the south coast.

that cloud will keep it warmer here, but further north, with clearer skies and light winds, it's going to be quite cool. temperatures could be down to 7—8 celsius. it will warm up quickly, though, in the sunshine, and we'll lose those showers in northern scotland. further south, there will be some of this patchy cloud around. a southerly breeze picks up along the south — it will lift any of that mist and low cloud, mind you. and it will be a warmer day everywhere, but the higher temperatures will be for england and wales — widely into the mid—20s. we could get close to 30 celsius in the southeast of england. it's been very hot in spain — that heat is moving northwards into france and into the uk, particularly across southeastern parts of the uk. that heat and humidity building ahead of this weather front that's coming in from the atlantic — that will tend to change things in some areas. could get a few thunderstorms as early as sunday night in the west, but it's really on monday that we'll start to see this wetter weather, with thunder and lightning pushing eastwards, mainly across the northern half of the uk. a few showers are possible in wales and the southwest, but towards the southeast, it will be dry and sunny. and the heat and humidity will be particularly uncomfortable through the midlands,

lincolnshire, east anglia, and the southeast. temperatures 30 celsius for many — could make 3a in the southeast of england — the hottest day of the year. now that heat and humidity will get pushed away to a certain extent, and we will see some more weather fronts coming in from the atlantic on tuesday. these will bring some early rain into northern ireland, and then that rain will push into scotland and affect western parts of england and wales. still looking dry though through the midlands, and more sunshine across east anglia and the southeast, where it's going to be another very warm day on tuesday. just not as hot and as humid as monday.
