across the north of it will still bring some outbreaks of rain at times and a stiffer breeze across northern areas. so, the way next week pans out is, at the start, very warm to hot. there will be a heat wave in places to begin with. as we've established, it turns cooler from the north, and we're still watching after that. the following weekend, maybe into the start of the week after that, the potential for some heat to come back. maybe some extreme heat. it is far from guaranteed. it's still a long way off, and of course we will continue to watch that for you on weather for the week ahead. hello there and welcome to sportsday. i'm gavin ramjuan. heartbreak for cameron norrie. his wimbledon final dream ends after defeat to the reigning

novak djokovic coming up. but first, they used to be at the pinnacle of world football. today, sepp blatter and michel platini have been found not guilty following a fraud trial in switzerland. it was over a payment of more than £1.5 million made by blatter — the former fifa president — to platini, who used to head uefa, back in 2011. our sports editor dan roan has been getting their reaction. neither sepp blatter nor michel platini, who were once the two most powerful men in all of world football, showed much emotion when the verdict was read out by the presiding judge in the courtroom here behind me in the southern swiss town, a little earlier on today. both men, the former presidents respectively of fifa and uefa, stood accused of corruption over a payment of around 2 million swiss francs that was made by blatter to platini 11 years ago. the prosecution, the

authorities here in switzerland, alleged that that was fraud, effectively a bribe. both men insisted they were innocent and it was merely payment for services that platini had given to fifa in years earlier and it was not —— there was an agreement for that payment. blatter resigned, you will remember, backin blatter resigned, you will remember, back in 2015, amid a sprawling fbi investigation and corruption crisis at fifa. both men were then subject only banned from football, they were indicted last year. that led to what some called these port charlotte century here. —— sports trial of the century. today, they were both acquitted. here was the reaction abutment afterwards. help? acquitted. here was the reaction abutment afterwards.— acquitted. here was the reaction abutment afterwards. now that it is finished, abutment afterwards. now that it is finished. i'm _ abutment afterwards. now that it is finished, i'm happy. _ abutment afterwards. now that it is finished, i'm happy. i— abutment afterwards. now that it is finished, i'm happy. i am _ abutment afterwards. now that it is finished, i'm happy. i am happy - abutment afterwards. now that it is | finished, i'm happy. i am happy also finished, i'm happy. iam happy also for international football, and finished, i'm happy. iam happy also for internationalfootball, and i think this court took this matter very seriously, and together with my lawyer, we... very seriously, and together with my lawyer. we- - -— lawyer, we... biggest win of your life, biggest _ lawyer, we... biggest win of your life, biggest victory _ lawyer, we... biggest win of your life, biggest victory of _ lawyer, we... biggest win of your life, biggest victory of your - lawyer, we... biggest win of your life, biggest victory of your life? | life, biggest victory of your life? it is justice, life, biggest victory of your life?

0ur sports editor dan roan there. the women's european championship continues today with games in group b, arguably the toughest of the them. the latest from the early kick—off in a moment. but later on, the eight—time european champions germany take on the 2017 finalists denmark in brentford. it's been a mixed start for the home nations involved so far. england and northern ireland. jane dougall reports. of course, northern ireland reges pointed at the score line but they were under no illusions as to the quality of norway and they have taken a lot of positives, both from the experience of being a major turn in for the first time but also from their performances as well, and northern ireland women getting their first ever goal at a major tournament too. the regular captain marissa callahan just not able to start from last night it was sarah mcfadden who led the team out for our. she was only told at the morning of the match she was going be doing that. of course she was thrilled at the opportunity and she

was marking the balance or winter —— the winner of the ballon d'0r. she did not score, so she was pleased with that. she grew up with the goal—scorer, and she told me earlier how pleased she was and the whole squad was it wasjulie who got the first goal. squad was it was julie who got the first coal. ,, �* , ., first goal. she's the one that deserves _ first goal. she's the one that deserves it. _ first goal. she's the one that deserves it. as _ first goal. she's the one that deserves it. as much - first goal. she's the one that deserves it. as much as - first goal. she's the one that deserves it. as much as we | first goal. she's the one that i deserves it. as much as we all sacrifice a lot, julie has given up her letter that came in northern ireland. she does everything by the book, and a lot of people may not realise, but since christmas, she has had injury problems and we were not sure she was going to make the tournament, so for her to get to that turmoil and to get through those hardships and come out last night with the greatest moment of the night, it'sjust something she fully deserves and we are so happy for her. ., ., , ., for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did _ for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did suffer— for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did suffer a _ for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did suffer a loss - for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did suffer a loss to - for her. unfortunately, northern ireland did suffer a loss to the l ireland did suffer a loss to the squad last night. simone mcgill was taken off with what we are being told is a serious knee injury. we

are going to know more about it after she is assessed, she has had scans, but it does not look good, because we are also being told she will not take part in the remainder of the tournament, so devastating for her but also a really big loss to the squad, and they would have needed her, particularfor the next match against austria, because that is one where, realistically, northern ireland could at least have a chance for a point and they are going up to take their chances against austria, because following that match, they face england. jane dougall there. the early match is coming to close — it's spain against finland, and it's currently 3—1 spain at stadium mk in milton keynes — but they had to come from behind. linda sallstrom putting finland ahead after less than a minute. spain were level midway through the half — irene paredes with the equaliser. and they led before the break — another header, this one from aita na bonmati.

and spain have all but guarantee victory with 15 minutes to go. around ten minutes ago in the match. these are the live pictures. can spain get off to the start they want against a resilient finnish side? ten minutes to go. you can catch it on bbc two and the bbc sport website. so as promised — let's catch up with all the latest from wimbledon, where it's been another glorious day, but gutting for cam norrie... chetan pathak is there. djokovic was a bit too much for norrie. , . , djokovic was a bit too much for norrie. , .,, ., , ., norrie. key was. the hottest day of the champion _ norrie. key was. the hottest day of the champion ship _ norrie. key was. the hottest day of the champion ship so _ norrie. key was. the hottest day of the champion ship so far, _ norrie. key was. the hottest day of the champion ship so far, the - the champion ship so far, the kimmich of starting in the rain, ending this blazing heat wave. and, my goodness me, did cameron norrie rise to the occasion. we were not sure what to expect from the british

number one, the nine seed, coming out here and playing his first grand slam semifinal, yet he took it. we have seen it, that variety of serve, that forehand, that backhand, it was john unsure “— unsure —— it was djokovic he was unsure. the fans behind me on henman hill believing and on centre court, and yet time and time again, the vector commits did what novak djokovic does, and that was battle back. he got his given order, and thereafter, he made it look really straightforward. a few norrie holds that had the crowd excited, but on the whole it was heading just one way and it headed djokovic's way. there he is, these extraordinary numbers, a 32nd grand slam final, and eight wimbledon final. he is trying to make it 21. these are extraordinary numbers for next
