him to bow out on. just medals. so, it is a great note for him to bow out on.— medals. so, it is a great note for him to bow out on. just looking at these are taken _ him to bow out on. just looking at these are taken earlier _ him to bow out on. just looking at these are taken earlier with - him to bow out on. just looking at these are taken earlier with theirl these are taken earlier with their london may welcoming back all those athletes, back on the platform at st pancras station. there is a lot to be proud of with team gb, 65 medals, beating tokyo's total by one. yes one more than _ beating tokyo's total by one. res one more than tokyo, the same number that they achieved at london 2012, which is quite an achievement because it is very tough to continue on the level that you get to after hosting an olympics. there is a bounce. we saw that with france this time and japan the time before that. it was to be expected that we would go it was to be expected that we would 9° up it was to be expected that we would go up the medal table and we would win more medals when we host the olympics, but it is a lot harder to sustain that in the olympics following. we have sustained that number for following. we have sustained that numberfor three following. we have sustained that number for three olympics beyond

london 2012. i think that is incredibly pleasing for team gb. taste incredibly pleasing for team gb. we have had a lot of positivity over the last few minutes watching the competitors come back, but there will be questions asked about the performance in some of the sports. if you had to look at areas where uk sport might look at funding going forward in the next olympic cycle and perhaps the sports that have underperformed, what would you put at the top of the list? the underperformed, what would you put at the top of the list?— at the top of the list? the fight sorts, at the top of the list? the fight sports. boxing. _ at the top of the list? the fight sports, boxing, tae _ at the top of the list? the fight sports, boxing, tae kwon - at the top of the list? the fight | sports, boxing, tae kwon do and at the top of the list? the fight - sports, boxing, tae kwon do and judo are probably three areas where in recent olympics we have got quite a lot of medals, especially in boxing, we are used to winning as many as six, we only got one bronze medal this time. boxing was a real disappointment. tae kwon do, we only got one medal and judo none. for whatever reason we are not as good at fighting this time as we went tokyo three years ago.-

at fighting this time as we went tokyo three years ago. there is a money issue _ tokyo three years ago. there is a money issue here, _ tokyo three years ago. there is a money issue here, isn't - tokyo three years ago. there is a money issue here, isn't there? . tokyo three years ago. there is a l money issue here, isn't there? the amount of money that gets put towards the sport. looking on the bbc website there is an analysis of how much it has cost per medal and working out that the top is boxing which worked out at £12 million of funding per medal. tae kwon do down in third at 8.3 million. there will be tough questions asked at whether that funding is delivering what it needs. , , , , needs. there will be because these are vast sums _ needs. there will be because these are vast sums of _ needs. there will be because these are vast sums of money _ needs. there will be because these are vast sums of money and - needs. there will be because these are vast sums of money and if - needs. there will be because these are vast sums of money and if you | are vast sums of money and if you are vast sums of money and if you are giving a sport ten or 15 million or however much, there needs to be something to show for that and unfortunately elite sport is a cut—throat business and if you don't have the podium finishes then you don't have anything to show for that money. having said that, uk sport have slightly tweaked how they go about funding in recent years. they are not purely medal guided any more. they take a more holistic approach and look at things

governance, the grassroots of the sport, future talent, all sorts of things. they do tend to look at the broader picture these days and not just medals. however, those sports like boxing and tae kwon do will certainly be asked difficult questions and that they will hope to have adequate answers. it questions and that they will hope to have adequate answers.— have adequate answers. it should also be said _ have adequate answers. it should also be said that _ have adequate answers. it should also be said that medals - have adequate answers. it should also be said that medals can - have adequate answers. it should also be said that medals can go l have adequate answers. it should - also be said that medals can go down but they can also come back and rowing is probably a good example of that, disappointing in tokyo but in terms of team medals, team golds, they have come out on top with three golds, two silver and three bronze. he rowing is the perfect example of that. that is why uk sport have changed how they go about funding. they don't want to be solely guided about what happens at one olympics. things can go badly or well. there is a lot to chance. rowing in tokyo

when as badly as it has for many olympics by uk sport stuck by them and they have reaped the rewards this time. three gold medals and eight medals in total. they were the leading rowing nation and they have shown why you shouldn't cut all funding just on the back of one poor olympic funding. hour funding just on the back of one poor olympic funding-— funding just on the back of one poor olympic funding. how much should we make of the dip _ olympic funding. how much should we make of the dip in _ olympic funding. how much should we make of the dip in golds _ olympic funding. how much should we make of the dip in golds in _ olympic funding. how much should we make of the dip in golds in general - make of the dip in golds in general this time around? we have talked about the medal tally in general being higher than tokyo, the number of golds, eight fewer than tokyo, down in seventh position in terms of the medal league table, which is purely on golds. taste the medal league table, which is purely on golds-— purely on golds. we are down in seventh which _ purely on golds. we are down in seventh which is _ purely on golds. we are down in seventh which is as _ purely on golds. we are down in seventh which is as low - purely on golds. we are down in seventh which is as low as - purely on golds. we are down in seventh which is as low as we i purely on golds. we are down in i seventh which is as low as we have been since 200a so you look at that and you think this is the worst olympics or 20 years. but we won 65

medals which is more than some of the countries which got more goals than us. the people that dish out the money and the people at team gb understand the incredibly fine margins between gold and silver or silver and bronze. we can name a few of them. josh kerr and matt hudson smith on the athletics track came incredibly close to winning gold and the margins are so small that it is hard to be too critical about the dropping golds. it's why uk sport baseit dropping golds. it's why uk sport base it on of all colours rather than just gold because there is a lot to chance on the day and you can't legislate for losing a race for 100th of a second or whatever. there were some huge success but heartbreaking if you are a couple of seconds or less which means you get

silver. worth reiterating the total 65 medals has beaten tokyo byjust one. let's go back to st pancras. if you're just one. let's go back to st pancras. if you'rejustjoining us one. let's go back to st pancras. if you're justjoining us you will have been watching team gb arriving home on that special gold eurostar from paris. megan, you are there and most of the athletes have gone through now, the feeling there amongst them, they are meeting their families, maybe they have had to put their family lives on hold for weeks, maybe months. so this is a really special moment for the families and the athletes. special moment for the families and the athletes-— the athletes. yes, it has been a really emotional _ the athletes. yes, it has been a really emotional hour _ the athletes. yes, it has been a really emotional hour as - the athletes. yes, it has been a really emotional hour as we i the athletes. yes, it has been a i really emotional hour as we watch the athletes walk—through and you can see now as they have walk—through and taken their photos and done all their last things as athletes they are being reunited, not sure if you can see, we have

seen a few athletes, be reunited with their families, they have been lots of hugs, being reunited with kids and lots of tears. a pretty special moment. it has been an intense two weeks for these athletes, 16 days of action packed sport and now this is the moment where they can slightly relax and be reunited with their loved ones before the next big training. thank ou so before the next big training. thank you so much- _ before the next big training. thank you so much. lots— before the next big training. thank you so much. lots of— before the next big training. thank you so much. lots of those - before the next big training. thank you so much. lots of those athletes are now really deserving some rest, some recuperation and to remind you, as you heard they are from tom daley, confirming that he is going to retire, five—time olympic medal winner but he is now retiring from competition, from diving. talking about the fact that it was an end of an era he said, that he had ticked

all of the milestones of his bucket list and now it was time to give up the competition. well done to him and to all of the rest of the athletes. you can see them there with the mayor of london earlier at st pancras station as team gb arrives back from paris. an 11—year—old girl has been stabbed. what more do we know? we stabbed. what more do we know? , know that around 1136 this morning london ambulance service attended the scene in leicester square, where an 11—year—old girl and the scene in leicester square, where an 11—year—old girland a an 11—year—old girl and a 3a—year—old woman have been stabbed. the london ambulance service put out a statement saying that they sent considerable resources to the scene,

translation: you did it, you turned the games into a moment of incredible achievement. a true and extraordinary moment. which captured the imaginations of the whole country, indeed the whole world, turning this event into a huge popular success. it began almost ten years ago. seven years since we've managing this process and we've not stopped for a day, it really accelerated from the middle of may where the olympic flame worked its way towards paris. we moved towards the opening ceremony where a world held its breath as we saw such beautiful sights. we saw the cyclists,

triathletes, moving in incredible contexts, the backdrop of paris. our sports men, boxers, our athletes. everybody was witness to the fruits of your work and enthusiasm, the fervour which took the country. let's speak to dr anna mckeever, a political science lecturer from the university of the west of scotland. do you think there will be a political dividend for him? yes they have benefited _ political dividend for him? yes they have benefited him _ political dividend for him? yes they have benefited him in _ political dividend for him? yes they have benefited him in terms - political dividend for him? yes they have benefited him in terms of- political dividend for him? yes they have benefited him in terms of his | have benefited him in terms of his international standing as they pass quite well, but in terms of the domestic political arena, we cannot see any political dividend for

macron because his approval ratings remain well under 30% and now, when the games are over, he has to wake up the games are over, he has to wake up from the stream and deal with the political crisis, the political deadlock of naming the next prime minister. he hasn't really gained much credibility domestically. different politicians, from centrist blocks and from the right—wing and also the socialist mayor of france, they have all worked together to make these games happen, but now, it is more important to name the prime minister and i think that macron has a big job to do. minister and i think that macron has a big job to do-_ a big job to do. does he have a few weeks though _ a big job to do. does he have a few weeks though because _ a big job to do. does he have a few weeks though because most i a big job to do. does he have a few| weeks though because most people a big job to do. does he have a few i weeks though because most people are on holiday, is there time for him to plot his way out of the crisis and what are his options?—

functional. it has been passing legislation without a vote. it has been trying to resist the no—confidence motions. the next government is likely going to be either an minority coalition government or france is going to head into further political crisis if the prime minister is not named very soon. if the prime minister is not named from the biggest political force in the national assembly, even though the constitution doesn't force the president to do so, but it will be a blow to democracy if the president appoints a prime minister from a different camp.— president appoints a prime minister from a different camp. thank you so much. today is world elephant day let's take a look at some elephants at �*adventures with elephants', a south african reserve—sanctuary for rescued elephants,

aiming to promote educating and conserving wildlife. these pictures just been sending to us. reseachers in rio dejaneiro say humpback whales are returning to the waters off the the brazilian city , a trend they hope will continue. these giant mammals skirt the coast every year during theirjourney from antarctica. to number in the thousands. hello again. we've had some heavy thundery downpours, especially in parts of the north and the west this morning, and also some high temperatures to start the day. it's going to be hot and humid once again in parts of the south eastern quarter, with some areas potentially reaching 35 celsius. that will make it the hottest day of this year so far. now, as we go through the course of this morning into the afternoon, what you'll find is all those thunderstorms will clear away. there'll be a lot of dry weather, a lot of sunshine. there's a chance you could catch the odd thunderstorm

in parts of lincolnshire or yorkshire and the odd shower moving from the midlands towards the south east, but they will be the exception rather than the rule. fresher in the north and west, hot and humid with highs up to 35 in the south east and quite windy too across the northwest. that will ease as we go through the evening and overnight period. a lot of clear skies. if you're hoping to see the meteor shower, you could well be in luck. but out towards the west, the could is going to build and we'll see the arrival of some rain. the other thing is, it's still going to be quite a fresh night for many areas away from the south east, where it will still feel quite humid. now, if we pick up that weather front tomorrow, it's out in the west. through the course of the day, it's going to be drifting eastwards, but it will continue to weaken in doing so. so a lot of dry weather, a fair bit of sunshine to start the day. our weather front pushes from the west to the east. you can see how it wraps around bringing more rain into the outer hebrides. windy across parts of western scotland and northern ireland, and still hot and humid as we push down towards the south east, with highs up to 28. our weather front eventually makes
