100 women challenge. rio de janeiro is a city famed for its passion for sport. it was home to the 2016 olympic and paralympic games. and hosted the most recent football world cup in 2014. the beautiful game is adored by millions here but has an ugly past. for almost a0 years, women were banned from playing football in brazil. though the ban is now listed, its legacy lives on. it's a real struggle for brazilian women to be taken seriously in football. the 100 women challenge has come to reopen to try to tackle sexism in sport. and find solutions to level the playing field, inspiring women

here in brazil and around the world. taking up the challenge are five women who have just five days to come up with ideas to help improve the situation for female footballers. time for some introductions. bia vaz from sao paulo has played for the brazilian national women's squad and professionally in the united states. fernanda is a rower and competed in her home city of rio in the olympic games last year. this woman grew up in one of rio‘s

favelas, dreaming of playing football. now she's a coach for other children growing up in poverty. maira from sao paulo is director of the women in sports programme for the campaign group think 0lga. and finally, two time 0lympic beach volleyball silver medallist adriana from rio is now on the brazilian 0lympic committee, part of her role is to keep women in sport. our experts must reveal

their solutions to sexism in sport at a mixed gender football match at the end of the week. it'll be a seven aside game and at least three of the players on each side must be female. the squad playing on behalf of the 100 women is made up of talented young brazilian footballers who are meeting for the first time today. it's also hoped these young players can offer some inspiration to our challenge team. even atjust 12 and 13 years of age, ana and luiza have already encountered a lot of resistance to their love of the game. with ana and luiza as their inspiration, the women start making plans for the week ahead. leading up to the game on saturday.

maira and bia also take some time to reflect on the first day. the team is made up of high achievers, but none of them has ever taken on a challenge of this scale in just a week. it's going to be an interesting few days. we've had a really early start and just drove an hour and a half to reach the school in the west zone of rio, we're going to see a very unique experience promoting gender equality in sport. korfball. korfball was invented just over

100 years ago in the netherlands so that men and women could play alongside each other on the same team. school pe teacher shayla is a big fan of the sport because the sexes can compete on equal terms. although watching the korfball is useful, neither of these women are spectators in life, and they are itching to get stuck in. school is over for bia and maira, they are now off to university collecting ana and louisa along the way. arriving at rio‘s pontifico catholic university, luiza and ana head off for training, with the university's women's team. helena has agreed to become the team super coach, we'll update on the challenge and solutions they are coming up with to address sexism in sport. meanwhile, ana and luiza have a new recruit. 13—year—old maria willjoin them for saturday's game and together they are meeting the

university team captain, nicole. with some great advice for our young players... it's time to see if coach helena has been equally inspiring, as our team thinks about ideas to beat sexism in the sport. the women also came up with an idea for an internet channel for female players by female players. so the women have three solid solutions.

now theyjust have to make everything happen in three days in time for saturday's match. a new day and it's time to start turning ideas into reality. the experts want to raise awareness of women's football through some empowering messages. they've decided to have slogans printed on shirts for saturday's game. the new shirt will become the 100 women team kit

for the match in two days. the girls‘ shirts say "i play like a girl". the boys should ask "i play with them, what about you 7 " and even the parents get a shared with the message, my girl plays football with pride. good job, good job. the young players taking part in saturday's game come from all over rio. and it's time to get them back together for one last training session before the final match. we've brought them to rio‘s temple of dreams. this is the maracana stadium. two football world cups have been played here.

to train on the pitch at this world —famous football ground is beyond the imagination of most aspiring players. it's lights, camera action for the team's internet tutorials. it's lights, camera action for the team's internet tutorials. as the filming of the tutorials continues, a new

face appears. 13—year—old mc soffia is unfamiliar ground at the maracana. this talented rapper performed here during the opening ceremony of last year's 0lympics. she's come to meet our team and get inspired to write a special football anthem for the final match on saturday. with her performance at the match just two days away, mc soffia uses the iconic stadium as her rehearsal venue. the maracana has played host to some exceptional site over the decades. i hope this visit by the 100 women challenge will make its way into the stadium's history books, too.

there's just one day to go until the mixed gender football match. the players are resting up ahead of their game. 0vernight, our bbc crew edited the video tutorials and it's time to reveal them to the experts. the youtube channel is beginning to take shape, but it needs to be finished by tomorrow morning so they can share it with the young players. it's a last day of the final 100 women challenge of 2017. all week the women have been working on new rules to make a mixed gender football match fair for females. to get some inspiration, two of the team, maira

and bia went to see a korfball game where both sexes play alongside each other. when they were there, they've recruited the school's pe teacher, sheila, to referee today's match. the other experts are showing off their completed youtube channels to the players. with the new rules in place, it's time to hand out the kit. the 100 women team are in orange. the 100 women team are playing against a mixed gender team from the american school of rio. the school's players train together regularly but because there is no mixed gender league, they've never played together in a competition before. it's a great game so far, very

competitive. the 100 women team is a little bit behind but everyone is giving it their best. at half—time there are pep talks from parents. and words of wisdom from parents. and words of wisdom from the coaches. before the whistle for the second half blows again. the match has just

the match hasjust finished. the 100 women team lost. it was 9—3 for the other team. the girls are a bit upset but they played really, really well. maria, how do you feel, how did you like the game? despite her disappointment, maria's talent hasn't gone unnoticed. all this week there has been a team

behind the team, every step of the way ourgirl behind the team, every step of the way our girl players have been supported by their family members. luiza's mother is confident about her daughter's future, but what about the player herself? how has this week left her feeling? though the 100 women football team didn't win the match, they are claiming victory for the week itself. the messages the women wa nted itself. the messages the women wanted to convey came across loud and clear and the internet channel isa and clear and the internet channel is a lasting legacy of the challenge. i hope and i wish that

maybe in the next years we can see more and more girls playing soccer. after a very inspiring week, eve ryo ne after a very inspiring week, everyone has gathered for mc soffia to play the wrap she made especially for this occasion. there is a lot happening over the next 48 hours so we're going to concentrate on that period quite a bit. then just concentrate on that period quite a bit. thenjust a concentrate on that period quite a bit. then just a flavour of what we can expect in the next week or so. a fair bit of snow around across the country. scotland, northern ireland, parts of wales and the midlands, too. snow showers fell in distinct areas. we saw these streaks of snow showers moving across the uk from the north—west in a south—east

direction. nothing but clear blue skies during the course of the day. some big contrasts in weather during the course of friday. through the night, we can expect more showers across parts of wales, possibly northern ireland, certainly northern parts of scotland where the wind is blowing hard. across the hills we are talking about blizzards. it'll be cold in rural spots. it might even drop to —5, —8, celsius. ice risk across northern and western areas of the uk tomorrow, other than that sunshine from the word go for many. a cold day. it'll feel as if it is below freezing right across the country. there will be snow showers around across parts of wales, maybe north—west england. i suspect places like liverpool, maybe manchester, catching a few flakes of snow. interesting, through the course of saturday night, sunday, cold air. widespread frost developing. a new, fresh weather front bumps into the cold air, look

what happens. snow across ireland, northern ireland, into wales, the midlands, east anglia, northern england as well. many of us waking up england as well. many of us waking up to england as well. many of us waking uptoa england as well. many of us waking up to a covering of snow, significant covering, first thing on sunday. a good job it's not happening during the week. the working week. rush hour. it would be very disruptive snow. by the time we get to a roundabout sunday afternoon it looks like that snow will be petering out around northern parts of the uk to the south very windy. gale force around the coast. 0ne moves away sunday night, then on monday another low—pressure, potentially a storm, impacts france. to the north, there could be snow as well falling because more southern pa rt well falling because more southern part of the uk, possibly nudging into the london area briefly. this will be what we call transient snow, it won't last very long. it might last a couple of hours and then move away with slow pressure pushing out into the continent. 0ne load moves

away, this ridge of high pressure... tuesday expected to be a quiet day. still pretty cold, maybe more miles across the far south—west. of sunshine around. starting frosty, some during the course of the afternoon. wednesday, looks like we'll pick up more south—westerly winds, weather fronts we'll pick up more south—westerly winds, weatherfronts returning bringing rainfall to western areas. it'll turn less cold, possibly back to double figures by the time we get to double figures by the time we get to the middle part of the week. 11 degrees in plymouth. later next week, if you are watching this time yesterday, the thinking was that cold air is going to win and stick around. looks as though the jet strea m around. looks as though the jet stream will be pushing mild air in oui’ stream will be pushing mild air in our direction later next week. the risk of snow is going to be less through the course of next week as it turns colder. more than anything, it's going to be spells of rain and wind. 0ver it's going to be spells of rain and wind. over the next weekend, 48 hours or so, we'll get snow and then

things calm down. part one of the brexit deal is done, at last clearing the way for the crucial next stage, including intial talks about trade. including initial talks about trade. a handshake seals the agreement on the divorce bill, the northern ireland border and eu citizens‘ rights. getting to this point has required give and take on both sides, and i believe that the joint report being published is in the best interests of the whole of the uk. smiles for a real continental brea kfast after talks through the night. but a warning too of what's to come. we all know that breaking up is hard, but breaking up and building a new relation is much harder.
