ones, where in a training session, ina scrum, ones, where in a training session, in a scrum, he broke his neck. what then? second rows, you need to lift your heads up a little bit. i first met matt when he started coaching rugby, but he had a bigger idea. and here it is, in a windswept field in leicestershire — the get busy living centre. from the outside, you can see it is split over two levels. the ground floor is being used for a party today, but it is where young people with serious injuries can come with their families to eat, drink and enjoy themselves. the top floor is for hard, physical work. there is very specialist gym equipment there. it is already being used. it is about tackling the two elements to recovery, and it is all matt hampson‘s plan. it gives me something to get up for every day. and ifeel so proud of everything that we've achieved, and i just love pushing the boundaries, and trying to change the world a little bit for disabled people and people with serious injuries through sport, and just show them — hopefully show them the way. well, there were plenty of messages

of support for matt hampson today. you have achieved almost the impossible. what you've done in the last however many months or years to fund—raise for this building has been absolutely extraordinary. mike tindall has been one of this project's biggest supporters. matt has been through dark days, at christmas, when we almost lost him, and we wouldn't have seen this come to reality. so he's always got to fight, every time. whenever he's back and healthy, all he wants to do is get out there, go and see people. rugby has a deep responsibility. other sports, too, where injuries are too frequent to be ignored. it took £1 million to build the centre, years of fundraising, and matt hampson is busy trying to find a way to build more of them. eric reid, who publicly supported colin kaepernick‘s protests against racial injustice and police brutality, says he will keep speaking for his people after being signed by the carolina panthers. the 26—year—old, who knelt during the us national anthem

the morning, which leaves us during wednesday with a good deal of cloud around. a few bright and sunny spells here and there, but still, along into the hills, you could see a lot of patchy light rain and drizzle into western scotland and northern ireland. more especially, those outbreaks of rain affecting western and northern parts of scotland, the more substantial bursts of rain possible here at times. still with a noticeable breeze here, but not as windy as it was on tuesday, and particularly where you get to see some occasional sunshine, it will feel quite warm for the time of year, quite humid. and these temperatures are higher in northern ireland and scotland compared to tuesday. now, as we run on through wednesday evening, wednesday night and into thursday morning, there are some breaks in the cloud. now, you might think some of it is going to drop away, but they won't, really, because remember this quite warm and humid air mass established across the uk. actually, it's quite warm for wednesday into thursday. the chance for a few fog patches developing the further south you are in england and wales, through a centre of high pressure, where there's really not much breeze at all. again, some moisture

in the air, it's humid. and then an approaching weather front on thursday will shake the weather up a bit in scotland and northern ireland once again, as we see some outbreaks of rain moving in. later in the day, that could reach as far south as north—west england and north wales, with a freshening breeze. but for many southern and eastern parts on thursday, once any fog lives away, we get to see some sunny spells, and again temperatures are a good few degrees above normal for the time of year. i want to show you this weather front as we go through thursday into friday. it stalls through the middle part of the uk, and off of that you get the blues moving in. it will feel cooler and fresher across much of scotland. sunny spells, one or two showers. the front moving through southern scotland, more especially northern england and wales, with cloud and outbreaks of rain, and south of that weather front, you still have the rather warm and humid air. so for friday, a bigger range of temperatures. this weather front will clear away south—eastwards over the weekend, lingering with some rain for parts of england and wales on saturday. may still be getting some rain into south—east england on sunday, we'll keep you updated on that. once it's gone, though, it brightens up, but it's much cooler for all. welcome to bbc news,
