overnight go into the evening and overnight and through tomorrow we will continue to see the threat of showers as this week where the front doddle is its way steadily southward. behind it is introducing cooler, no small difference to the feel of the weather in comparison to northern ireland and northern england but it will be largely fine and dry here and shells will become more fun to eat south of the m4 corridor as we go into the afternoon top temperatures here are 21 degrees but only 12—17 further north. looks likely that monday to tuesday will be a relatively quiet start once we lose early morning rain into the south—east. more wet weather arrives later in the week. hello this is bbc news. the headlines... it's known as super saturday and there was a great start for team

gb in the tokyo olympics with a gold and a world record in the four—by—100 metres mixed medley final. teamwork makes dream work. another gold, in the triathlon mixed relay event and finally a first gold medal forjonny brownlee at his third olympic games. victory for elaine thompson—herah of jamaica in the women's100—metres final in tokyo. but before that there was heartbreakfor team gb sprinter, dina asher—smith, who had to withdraw from the games through injury. afghan security forces have bben battling to defend three key cities from advances by the taliban. reports say militants have breached front lines in herat medical experts are warning that an oxygen monitoring device, called a pulse oximeter, works less well for people with darker skin tones. and borisjohnson and his wife carrie have announced they're expecting a second child. their son wilfred was born in april last year. now on bbc news it's

time for sportsday. hello, welcome to sportsday, after another special saturday for team gb at the olympics. i'm austin halewood, here's what's coming up in the programme... the fastest woman in the world. elaine thompson—herah succesfully defends her olympic title with one of the quickest times in history. but it's heartbreak for dina asher—smith, who failed to make the final and then pulled out of the 200 meters. this is for the start, we'll let it go. we'll let the start go and let me cry! but it was still a golden saturday, with team gb winning the first triathlon mixed relay. and even more swimming success, as the brits enjoy their best performance in the pool for over a century.

also coming up in the programme, away from the olympics... can south africa deny the british and irish lions first series win there since 1997? and the scottish premiership is back with a bang, as rangers get the defence of their title off to the perfect start. good evening, welcome to sportsday. we're a week into the tokyo olympics and the action keeps coming thick and fast from japan. 21 gold medals were up for grabs today, but most eyes were firmly locked on tokyo's olympic stadium, and the final of the women's 100 meters. defending champion elaine thompson—herah ran the second—fastest time in history to succesfully defend her title.

but it was disappointment for britain's dina asher smith, as injury brought an end to her bid, as natalie pirks reports. she sniffles. obviously, the competitor in me... this is for the start, we'll let it go. we'll let the start go and let me cry! the customary smile replaced with tears. the fastest woman in british history had been hiding a secret. dina asher—smith! just five weeks ago, she'd been told there was only a 2% chance she would make it to the start line, after a torn hamstring. elaine thompson—herah is going to win it. it's going to be del ponte take second place! and dina, she'sjust not finishing. she gets out well and couldn't hang on. out the final and minutes later, the reigning world 200 metres champion confirmed she was out of that too, but would still run the relay. my idea for this olympic cycle was complete dominance

and obviously, ha! didn't manage it this time but obviously, we have three more years till the next olympics and i know the kind of shape i'm in, i know the calibre of athlete i am and i know how talented i am, so it's frustrating to not be able to put it out when it matters, but, at the end of the day, with the cards that i've been given, i did very, very well and in no way does this change anything that's going to happen in the future. well, daryll neita might not have been the name everyone�*s lips but making the 100 metre final is a huge achievement. she's the first british woman to do so since 2008. but this would be a tough ask from a field stacked with talent and speed. and it is going to be the defending champion makes it two in a row! . 10.60, it is an olympic record. a jamaican 1—2—3. the pace was blistering, the celebrations between them somewhat frosty, not that

elaine thompson—herah cared. my chest is tight, because i'm over—happy, i'm so lost for words right now, but god it is amazing. heartbreak, then, for the queen of british sprinting, but the jamaican dynasty continues its reign. natalie perkins, bbc news, tokyo. but i told you it was a pretty special saturday for team gb and the day got off to the perfect start with a gold medal in the mixed triathlon relay. it's the first time the event's taken place at an olympic games, but it didn't take the brits long to adjust, as they led from the front and secured another gold. adam wild watched the race. triathlon will be golden for great britain! super saturday had barely begun, but team gb was already looking at four new olympic champions. jessica learmonth led the way for britain, then the turn ofjonny brownlee. finishing first is some achievement but being the first to finish first

is how olympic history is made. the inaugural triathlon relay. 300 metre swim, 6.8 kilometres on the bike, followed by a two kilometre run before handing over to your team—mate. emerging from the water first then the turn ofjonny brownlee, individual bronze in london and silver in rio, this has final olympic race. a last chance to complete the set. into final olympic race. a last chance to complete the set.— complete the set. into the water, the run, complete the set. into the water, they run. they — complete the set. into the water, they run. they fly. _ complete the set. into the water, they run, they fly, they _ complete the set. into the water, they run, they fly, they swim. - complete the set. into the water, they run, they fly, they swim. by| they run, they fly, they swim. by they run, they fly, they swim. the time georgia taylor brown finished her leg, britain had a 21 second advantage. this was drama to the end. the lead wiped out as alex yee was caught by the french team but on foot, alex yee is in a class of his own. he but on foot, alex yee is in a class of his own-— of his own. he will win gold. alex yee is the — of his own. he will win gold. alex yee is the olympic _ of his own. he will win gold. alex yee is the olympic champion. - of his own. he will win gold. alex i yee is the olympic champion. jonny

champion, charline picon, of france. idream since i dream since i was a little kid to win a medal. watching you sign bolt and people like that on super saturday. just amazing and the girls, the girls in front of me are amazing competitors and i think we showed it, won two and three in the medal race. it's hard to separate us but i think i did a good job. let's quickly look at some of the day's other olympics news and... great britain's women's sevens team missed out on a second successive bronze medal after suffering a 21 points to 12 defeat to fiji. that bronze is the first female medal in the country's olympic history. it comes after fiji won gold in the men's tournmanet. team gb's women finished their pool games off with a 2—0 victory over ireland. the reigning olympic hockey champions had already secured a place in monday's quarterfinals but the win sees them

through in third from their group. great britain's paul casey is very much in contention going into the final round of the golf tonight. he trails the american leader xander schauffele byjust two shots. tommy fleetwood also remains in contention along with ireland's rory mcilroy and shane lowry. and simone biles has pulled out of the vault and uneven bars finals tomorrow. the four—time olympic champion had already withdrawn from the women's team and individual all—around final, to focus on her mental health. the american is yet to decide if she'll compete in the floor and beam finals. belinda bencic became the first swiss woman to win olympic tennis gold.

she beat czech marketa vondrousova in the women's singles final, and could still add another gold in the doubles which takes place tomorrow. but there'll be no olympic medal for novak djokovic. the world number one was beaten in the bronze medalfinal, by spain's pablo carreno busta. it's the secoind match djokovic has lost in as many days, and it's clear to see he doesn't take it well! i suppose that's what makes you the best. so another busy day in tokyo. and the medals didn't stop there. as team gb continued their brilliant form in the boxing ring. there are more guaranteed medals to come but this afternoon karriss artingstall won a bronze medal in the featherweight division. with more on that, and the rest of the day's news from the boxing arena, here's nick hope. the medals continued to flow for team gb boxers here with lauren price the latest to add her name

champion and cruz of cuba. look will turn his attention to supporting his twin brother on sunday. also returning to action is fraser clark. should he win, that would guarantee a fifth medal in tokyo. now, away from the olympics the british and irish lions are looking to seal their first series win in south africa, since 1997. we're deep into the second half in cape town and after a tight first half, south africa have started to pull away. makazole mapimpi scored the game's first try early into the second period and lukanyo am has just given south africa an 18—9 lead. and lukanyo am has just given less than 20 minutes to go in cape town. theres text commentary on the bbc sport website right now. the olympics may be in full swing, but the new football season is already under way in scotland,

and reigning champion rangers got the defence of their title off to the perfect start, with a 3—0 win over livingston. unbeaten in the league last season with a 100% home record, rangers surged into an early lead thanks to ianis hagi. the 23—thousand fans inside ibrox were given a treat with scott wright's goal. and kemar roofe completed the victory in the final minute of normal time. newly promoted dundee were held to a 2—2 draw by st mirren, while it finished goalless between ross county and stjohnstone. hearts face celtic later this evening. lewis hamilton will start on pole position as he chases a record ninth victory at the hungarian grand prix. he set the fastest time on his first flying lap in the final part of qualifying, with his main championship rival max verstappen in third. hamilton trails the dutchman by 8

points in the standings. it's surprising to see the guys behind us, obviously everyone, most people, i think everyone except for us, but we will see. it's definitely great having a look out for our team, the first time in a long time, soa team, the first time in a long time, so a big thank you to everyone back at the factory and i hope the weather is good for everyone tomorrow, enjoy the sun and stay safe. time now for a look at some of the day's other sport stories. the manchester originals beat the welsh fire by seven wickets in the hundred. chasing 151 for victory, the originals crusied home with 5 balls to spare, withjoe clarke making a half century. there was a dramatic finish in the stewards' cup at goodwood, as the 10—1 shot comanche falls made a late charge to take victory. it's the first win in this race for trainer michael dods. and preparations for the start of the new premier league season continues.

with west ham 1—0 winners at league new boys brentford. and it was ex—bees forward said benrahma who sealed the win with that brilliant goal in the second half. and all of australia's national rugby league fixtures were cancelled today, after the state of queensland was put into a three—day lockdown because of coronavirus. three games were scheduled to take place. the decision comes little over a week after australia and new zealand pulled out of the rugby league world cup. now, lets return to the olympics and bring you the latest medals table from japan. and it's china who are way out in front with 21 golds already and 46 medals in total. hosts japan are 4 golds behind with 17. they're having a really good games so far. the us are third with 16 golds and team gb are in 6th with 8.

so can team gb add a few more to that talley on sunday? well, day nine in tokyo gets under way in just a few hours' time. and max whitlock will be looking to defend his olympic title in the pommel horse final. the five—time olympic medallist is also the reinging world champion in the event. frazer clarke's bid to win super—heavyweight gold continues tomorrow. he fights in the quarterfinals, knowing that a victory will guarantee him a medal and continue great britain's proud record in the division. and there are 3 golds up for grabs at the ariake tennis park. alexander zverev, who ended novak djokovic's title hopes, takes on russian karen khachanov in the men's singles final. the winners of the women's and mixed

doubles will also be decided. and european champion zharnel hughes will hope to feature in the men's100 metres final. he'll be joined by team—mates cj ujah and reece prescod in the semis, ahead of the final tomorrow afternoon. and before we go, a special part of any olympic journey is when you finally arrive home to be greeted by your loved ones. and if there were gold medals for hugs, they'd surely go to helen glover's 3 little ones. the two—time olympic champion was rowing at her final olympics and although she narrowly missed out on a medal, her remarkable comeback to get to tokyo, has been inspirational and at the end of it all, there's no place like home i'm sure they'll be delighted to have her back.

that's all from sportsday. bye for now. hello there. lighter wind today but quite a lot of cloud around and some nuisance showers as well. some of the shares have been heavy and thundery. look at this threatening weather watcher picture that was sent in earlier on. if we look at the satellite picture, you can see cloud around. the bright white is storm evert which is in scandinavia. the best of any breaks through eastern areas. you can see that real cluster of sharp showers developed through the course of the afternoon, stretching across south wales, central and southern england with one or two rumbles of thunder mixed in. a few nuisance showers to the east of the pennines. over the next few hours,

those showers should start to ease down just a touch. as they continue to clear away through the night, we will see the cloud breaking up in places. a quiet night to come. cooler in scotland, particularly in sheltered rural areas. a few scattered showers in the far north. overnight lows of 9—14. we will start off tomorrow morning on a quiet note once again. this nuisance weather front still to clear away and it's going to produce the threat of more sharp thundery downpours across southern fringes of england through the afternoon. sunday starts of quietly. a few isolated showers across scotland and northern ireland but generally more dry weather. showers pushing steadily south into the afternoon. hit and miss, but we can not rule out the odd rumble of thunder. top temperatures of 21, noticeably cooler further north. 12-17.

we had temperatures into the high 20s a week ago. relatively quiet start to the new working week but the story becomes a little more complicated. if we look at details why that's going to happen we see this brief ridge of high pressure building in from monday to tuesday. from wednesday onwards, this weather front is going to start to bring the threat of more outbreaks of rain and areas of low pressure continue to move towards the end of the week. dry to start but cooler than it has been. more wind and rain later on in the week.
