6:55 pm
to do that, took it will be different. i think it will be different. i think it will be different for everyone just because of the nature of the pandemic. but we are actually just really of the nature of the pandemic. but we are actuallyjust really looking forward to having this opportunity and playing hockey again. and playing sports again and people back home to see it. so i think it's going to be a really special moment and wonder we will be looking forward to it for five years. and it's finally around the corner. there's a lovely story from the men's squad that sam ward has been named to the limbic team and with nearly blinded two years ago, or horrific injury. and here he is back in the squad and he will be playing hopefully in tokyo. yes. in the squad and he will be playing hopefully in tokyo.— hopefully in tokyo. yes, i mean if such an important _ hopefully in tokyo. yes, i mean if such an important injury. - hopefully in tokyo. yes, i mean if such an important injury. we i hopefully in tokyo. yes, i mean if such an important injury. we arel such an important injury. we are very lucky that those sort of injuries have been very rare in our sport but the way that sam has dealt with that and got back so quickly and back playing, and he's a forward the puts himself and also the positions that is just incredibly brave. it's really exciting to see him back playing the sport he loves

6:57 pm
match, it was in the tenth minute of that game that the players and fans marked the dreadful events of saturday. huge support inside the park and stadium once again. we happened on saturday putting football and life in perspective. from myself and the team at wembley, good night. for many today has put a little fresh of sunshine still but across central and eastern parts of england in particular we have kept the humidity, a lot more and a few rumbles of thunderfrom humidity, a lot more and a few rumbles of thunder from the showers which again are going to plague central and eastern areas through
6:58 pm
this evening and overnight. just continuing to feed in the moisture from the south. so once again it really for many it will be far fresher. single figures in the glens of scotland but plenty of sunshine here for tomorrow. and indeed for northern ireland. the odd shower bubbling up but most of the shower activity will be torrential and push it to the north and further for the west with some fairly strong winds and keep the temperatures down but humidity is still high, local flash flooding and we will keep an eye on that. as we go to the weekend saturday looks like the dryer day but for the risk of heavy and thundery rain.
