, palsy play in cerebral palsy football and that has given me a chance to ove i’co m e that has given me a chance to overcome injuries. i'm fortunate to have been able to take that chance and i've kept in my country for the past four years, a dream come true. hopefully you can pick up some silverware. you completed four years ago on home soil and it came fifth. we came first, the classic tournament, i think the largest disability football tournament held in the uk. managed to score some goals and the team did really well. we show the world that we are a force to be reckoned with. we finished this, the highest finish in the history of our sport and hope to do better than that in argentina this summer. and you stand a good chance but your biggest threat may come from russia and the ukraine because they have a very good team because they have a very good team because of the funding they get. their full—time athletes and so the train together 15 days a month whereas we train for five days a month. but we are one of the best

teams now in the world and we hope will get to the semifinal. and hopefully turn over one of the big boys and get a podium finish. hopefully turn over one of the big boys and get a podium finishlj hopefully turn over one of the big boys and get a podium finish. i know you have the talent, you are captain of the team butjust you have the talent, you are captain of the team but just to see you have the talent, you are captain of the team butjust to see here, just how skilfuljack is. i think we thought neymar doing this bit of skill on the football field, you have done it in front of a basketball hoop. you nailed that. how many times did it take you to do that? i cannot lie, it took me a few attempts. but practice makes perfect. so i will save ten attempts. with those kind of skills you stand a very good chance and all the best in argentina next month. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. the population of africa is set to double by 2050 —

to more than two and a half billion people. that brings opportunities, but also challenges — among them how to feed all the extra people. sixty percent ofjobs in africa are agricultural, but much of it is subsistence farming which will now need to feed twice as many people and climate change is cutting crop yields. kenya is at the forefront of trying to improve farming across africa. alastair leithead has been looking at how to grow more, better and different crops with the help of technology. cooking school in rural kenya — in a place where maize is everything, nutritionists are trying to get people excited about something a little different. these smart foods used to be staples in kenya before colonialism brought maize along. they are more drought—resistant, nutritious and pretty easy to rustle up into all sorts of meals. and this is the pigeon pea stew. right, great, on it goes.

a little bit of everything. pigeon pea stew first. wow. mmm, that's good. but it's notjust the tasters or the cooks but the farmers to be persuaded the change is worthwhile and to grow different crops to keep the soil healthy. translation: these days we are getting less rain than we used to, and when i plant these crops i know i'll be harvesting something, unlike with maize. the green gram, the pigeon peas and sorghum normally resist the drought. in kenya the average hectare of a smallholder‘s farm could easily produce four times as much if the right fertilisers and plants are used, and that's where the science comes in — crossbreeding plants to make them even better. what we are seeing right now is breeding where we are trying

to combine traits, characteristics from different plants into one plant so that we end up with a superior plant that is highly maturing, high—yielding, drought—resista nt and resistant to major pests and diseases, but as well as being highly nutritious. and this new dna profiling lab in nairobi makes it a lot quicker. a consortium has been set up to sequence and improve 101 traditional african food crops across the continent, but everyone needs to be involved. four young farmers from kenya and tanzania have been chosen to put their farming skills to the ultimate test. this reality tv show is kenya's attempt to make farming cool, particularly to millennials, otherwise leaving the farm for the city. my main problem is the light. yeah, i can see how... it shows farmers a business where money can be made, and also has tips for how older

farmers can up their output. here and across africa, improving the state of agriculture is a big priority, especially when climate change is added to the challenge of a doubling population. alastair leithead, bbc news, kenya. now time for a look at the weather forecast. we got there in the end in terms of some sunny we got there in the end in terms of some sunny spells and warmth but not everywhere. just look at northern ireland a few hours ago in county fermanagh, torrential downpours and that rain still keeps coming. some of that will be happy over the next few hours and it pushes into west of scotla nd few hours and it pushes into west of scotland overnight. but elsewhere today we started off misty bob mcleod broke up and then the sunshine got to work and the one that triggered those temperatures, highs of 25 degrees in cornwall.

0vernight tonight the story is going to be this rainfall, some of that heavy. it gradually moves east. the risk of thunder will ease, but look at this, 1a, risk of thunder will ease, but look at this, 14, 70 risk of thunder will ease, but look at this, 1a, 70 degrees the overnight low in the south. so warm start but for scotland a wet start. the rain clearing away during the early half the morning quickly drifting east. a lovely start to northern ireland, but showers set to arrive in the afternoon. some rain heavily across the lake district. these spells of sunshine in the south—east ahead of that weather front. so in the afternoon the weather front pushes steadily east. still quite humid and sunny in the

south—east corner but behind that some fresher weather conditions and a scattering of showers in northern ireland. so this has an effect on the temperature. 2a possible in the south—east but further west may be just around 19. but at least some sunshine. as we move into thursday and friday at the low pressure hugs quite close to the shoreline of northern ireland. it just quite close to the shoreline of northern ireland. itjust keeps it pretty unsettled times and showers 01’ pretty unsettled times and showers or longer of rain through thursday and breezy at times on the exposed coasts. but largely fine and quiet with dry weather in the south. a similar story into friday. the worst of the weather unfortunately in terms of rainfall for northern ireland. london could see highs of 24 ireland. london could see highs of 2a degrees. and it should be sunny at times. this is bbc news. i'm clive myrie. the headlines at seven: four men have been charged with terror offences,
