claretjug, obviously, what can you say? it's the best golfers in history, and to be on there, it's incredible, you know, from someone like me, coming from italy — not really a major golfing country. it's been an incrediblejourney. it was nothing short of sensational as lewis hamilton came from 14th to win the german grand prix. ferrari's sebastian vettel, the home favourite and then championship leader, was cruising to victory, until he crashed in the rain. leaving hamilton to take advantage as nick parrott reports. misfortune left the lewis hamilton in 14th on the grid at hockenheim. with championship leader sebastien vettel roaring off the line leading from pole, hamilton might have felt his luck had run out. the britain fought his way up the field climbing to fifth before halfway. further progress looked unlikely to a storm

but from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. temperatures got up to 30 degrees on sunday, and the heat is going to continue over the next few days. if anything, it'll turn even hotter across parts of southern and south—eastern england. temperatures may actually even get up to 33 celsius. now, on our satellite picture, we have a few weather fronts moving through, but they're very, very weak. they're not bringing an awful lot of rainfall, just about nudging into north—western parts of scotland and northern ireland. to the south of that, this is where the heat is, across spain, portugal, france. in fact, all of that heat through monday will be expanding right across europe, and all the way into scandinavia,

where, incidentally, it's been a record—breaking summer, lack of rainfall there, as well, and temperatures into the 30s — very unusual. now, cooler air is trying to tuck into north—western parts of the country, and actually, parts of scotland and northern ireland will be among the coolest places in europe over the next few days. but this is what it looks like first thing on monday morning. very warm — 20 degrees, that's the overnight low in london. 16, 17 degrees there for the lowlands of scotland and for belfast. so here's our very small, weak weather front here, bringing a few spots of rain. you can see itjust pretty much falls apart, bringing some rainfall to northern ireland and maybe the western isles there during the course of monday, but that's pretty much it. to the south of that, the heat is on. temperatures widely in the high 20s, and in excess of 30 degrees there in the south—east and east anglia. so a very hot day for some of us at least on monday, but not necessarily in the north—west of the country. and you can see through monday evening, it's a very slow—moving weather front.

it'll probably stall somewhere around the irish sea as we head into tuesday. so there's a possibility of perhaps a bit more cloud, maybe one or two showers around northern england, possibly wales into tuesday, but that's pretty much it. it looks like that hot air will continue to pump in from the south and spread across france, germany, into scandinavia and poland as well. so we're just on the edge of the heat here actually. that's why it's only going to be hot across these eastern counties, the midlands and the south—east. many western areas here will be under the influence of that less hot air coming off the atlantic, but still temperatures of 20 in belfast, 2a in plymouth, and easily 30 degrees or more on tuesday. in fact, temperatures this week do get up to about 33 celsius. so a very hot week on the way, but further north it will be just that little bit cooler and more pleasant, with a spell of rain heading into northern ireland, i think, sometime midweek. that's it from me, bye—bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is lewis vaughanjones.
