again starfor britain in swimming. peaty recently completed the 'quadruple—quadruple' at the european swimming championships in hungary — the fourth time he's won four events he's entered at a euros. and injapan, he's hoping to become the first british swimmer to successfully defend an olympic title. like many in sport — lockdown hasn't been easy — with training disrupted. in addition to peaty moving house, and becoming a father for the first time. here's a glimpse of what life's been like over the last year. a legacy is something that you can't almost create. it creates itself. some days i absolutely love it, and some days i absolutely hate it. i just want to be the best. a simple as that. ., ., ., , , as that. come on, daddy! daddy, dadd ! as that. come on, daddy! daddy, daddy! keep _ as that. come on, daddy! daddy, daddy! keep building, _ as that. come on, daddy! daddy, daddy! keep building, keep - as that. come on, daddy! daddy, | daddy! keep building, keep going faster. just chill _ daddy! keep building, keep going faster. just chill out. _ daddy! keep building, keep going faster. just chill out. so, - daddy! keep building, keep going faster. just chill out. so, i've -

to world cup qualifying action — away to lithuania and home to switzerland in september with a friendly in estonia in between. all that on the website, and the news that trent arnold is out of the euros. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening good evening. actor is the very warm weather we had earlier on, today temperatures drop backjust a little for most of us, if you take that slightly cooler feel with us into the next few days. it will be mostly dry, but not completely dry, and actually, drawing today, we saw proud and some patchy rain coming up from the south affecting the channel islands and some southern counties of england, and it's all because of

this weather front here, slightly spoiling our mostly dry story, brings some outbreaks of rain, quite erratically northwards, i have to say across south—eastern parts of england into east anglia, as we had through this evening into tonight, and particularly into tomorrow, but there is still a lot of uncertainty about the detail of this rain. we again see some cloud ring showery rain into western counties of northern ireland, elsewhere logically through the night. a largely moggy nights, and also this cloud bring showers into western parts of northern ireland, and the odd shower elsewhere, too, but most places are looking dry. so, as i mentioned, uncertainty about the exact behaviour of this wet weather, particular just exact behaviour of this wet weather, particularjust how exact behaviour of this wet weather, particular just how far west will get. i think we will see some rain at times into the london areas, certainly in the parts of east anglia, but for massive the rest of england and wales, temperatures high teens, and low 20s, but we would

expect. your drug shower of popping up expect. your drug shower of popping up across scotland, although many spots we find, temperatures in aberdeen perhaps up to 90 degrees. as we head into the weekend, high—pressure or is close by, so there will always be a lot of dry weather, but the pressure dropping in from the west will bring sherry rain into northern ireland western scotland, this front will be a weakening affair, but it could bring the odd heavy shower as we had to saturday afternoon, but recent scotland and into england and wales, will be gradually driver some spells of sunshine, temperatures between 18 and 23 degrees, and that weather front. we still be with us into sunday, we can't see much evidence of it on charts, just in the way of cloud, mostly to sing some sunshine and temperatures ranging from 18 to 23 in london.

hello, i'm kasia madera, this is outside source. just 50 days to go untiljapan hosts the olympics. the organisers tell the bbc the games will go ahead. when people understand there are no firm measures we could be taking to prevent the spread of coronavirus, attitudes will change to it is ok to the games. she says she's100% certain the games will happen despite growing opposition, within japan. also in the programme... president biden announces the us will donate 25 million covid vaccines. charities want rich countries to give even more. and the uk takes portugal off its "green" list for quaratine free holidays.
