across much of the uk, spreading into much of the uk, of course with that heat it will be dry as well. most of the rain since the first of july has been in the far north—west of scotland and we have some rain here this evening, otherwise it is dry clear sky, temperatures in rural parts of northern england could dip way to eight or nine, but it will heat up quickly in the sunshine. got a bit more cloud for scotland and a few spot of rain to start the day, but that will get pushed away, we will have sunshine more widely in scotland. sunny day for northern ireland and england and wales, again with light winds, some sea breeze, temperatures lifting across many inland areas and we are getting close to 30 degrees in london and heading into the midlands as well. the heat is building underneath another area of high pressure, this has been the story of the summer, we still have weather fronts flirting with the far north—west of scotland but the heat is building and we are drawing in heat from europe, so temperatures will rise quickly across the uk on wednesday, it is

across the uk on wednesday, it is across the uk on wednesday, it is across the midlands, southern england and south—east parts of wales, the temperatures will likely to reach 32 which is 95 fahrenheit. you can see how long the heat will last in cardiff and london, right through the weekend. temperatures over 30 degree, it won't be as hot for scotland and northern ireland, as over the weekend temperatures here may start to drop away a little. a lot of people are asking when it is going to rain. main it will rain early next week, pressure is going to be drop, temperatures will be falling and we have the chance of some rain. thanks darren. and that's bbc news at six on monday 8th of august. you can keep up with all the latest developments on bbc website. from the six team, it's goodbye. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are, goodnight.

do you feel it's being seen as a success, notjust for the creativity and the logistics, but also for the legacy for birmingham? birmingham have effectively been half time that most cities enjoy to prepare for these games after stepping in for the original house because of financial difficulties just for now for five years ago. and navigating that, it is hard not to see that after all one and a half million tickets have been sold and birmingham 2022 and that is a record for a commonwealth games on the british soil. when it comes to legacy, it's a fair question as to this is the most expensive sports event with energy million pounds is the bill so far. a court of the data be raised by the local authority and

its partners. but it is too early to tell exactly what legacy it will lead them to what extent it will do to improve the lives of local communities, whether or not makes more actively strengthens ties with the commonwealth at a time of renewed focus on the future of the group in countries that make up the commonwealth there are certain things are tangible that you can only see. a brand—new aquatic centre in this facility me and alexander stadium, the survey talk of them hosting and athletics championships and perhaps throw championships even and perhaps throw championships even an 0lympics one day. and people are not ruling that out and there is no doubt that at this stage, the defining legacy is the extent of which the city embrace the opportunities to play host and it's given them a confidence that they could stage major sporting events and we look at the seams where we

are in the city centre and even people without tickets wanted to feel a part of it and they did feel part of it and i think it's of many people around the country see the city and a new light and it's hard to quantify exactly what that is when it comes to reputation a new business and opportunities for birmingham and talking to organisers and say that it's with the investment and when local residents so that they wish they had left a cycling which they could enjoy and i think you will be always complains of that kind and some are them is valid, think it's too early to tell but in terms of sheer appetite, it's hard not to see this as a success. what about the games themselves dan, we've talked about the connotations of the commonwealth, what does the future hold for these games? these games came at a really pivotal moment for the commonwealth and it's

been years of debate around how hard it is to attract potential wholesale days but discussed in this been a real challenge to try to find new places for the event to go for those in charge of the commonwealth games federation. they tell us that the success of birmingham is led to several expressions of interest from bidders and whether or not they materialise, and this could be the last of its kind for birmingham in 1900 medals at stake almost he could see some of the sporting highlights now in fact and no shortage of memorable performances and of course there's always been questions about whether they represent the best in sport, clearly. some of the best athletes in the world are missing is the athletes competed the world championships and other events as opposed to competing here in shelley and fraser, and the jamaican sprinter, there are others as well. but it's hard not to escape the fact

that the enjoy the games in may will be for years to come by the commonwealth games have a lot to think birmingham for. well, in birmingham the para games ran concurrently with the games in the biggest para sport programme in the history of the commonwealths. earlier i spoke to baroness tanni grey thompson — one of britain's greatest para athletes — and began by asking her what birmingham had done right? birmingham is been an amazing game and they've notjust cut those in the programme but also the timetable in those events and so, you're going from one game to the next, educating the audience and just as great sport. in birmingham has a lot to be proud of putting on the games and that still a learning curve, what would need to be improved upon, do

you feel? what events they have on programme. the really struggled with some the numbers that is a huge shame because he used one of the deepest sports in the world and so, i think you need to think about having really good representation of the commonwealth and that has been very easier to achieve. that's that's a really important standard. across all the different countries, rather than some of may be just a few there be more developed by now, this level of inclusion is very hard to see any future hosts can dial back on it. to see any future hosts can dial back on it— to see any future hosts can dial back on it. �* ., ., ., back on it. and integration of the gi m - ics, back on it. and integration of the olympics. but — back on it. and integration of the olympics. but i _ back on it. and integration of the olympics, but i don't _ back on it. and integration of the olympics, but i don't think - back on it. and integration of the olympics, but i don't think that'sj back on it. and integration of the i olympics, but i don't think that's a 0lympics, but i don't think that's a viable. olympics, but i don't think that's a viable. ., olympics, but i don't think that's a viable. . , , . , olympics, but i don't think that's a viable. . , , ., ., viable. integrating the olympics and paral mics viable. integrating the olympics and paralympics is _ viable. integrating the olympics and paralympics is a _ viable. integrating the olympics and paralympics is a lovely _ viable. integrating the olympics and paralympics is a lovely concept - viable. integrating the olympics and paralympics is a lovely concept of i paralympics is a lovely concept of the reality behind it is, no city would be able to do it is 2000 athletes in the olympics and the

village to transport alone would make it almost impossible and will be a month of sport and events led to be cut and the reality would be events or disabled people. i think a paralympics will continue to evolve as a brand and the olympics brings loads of positive things to paralympics but where we could do more at european championship levels, world levels, there is no reason that we can have integrated games and for me, that's next step and they do very well as stand—alone events. the trial of former manchester united star ryan giggs has begun this afternoon — he's accused of attacking and controlling his ex—girlfriend, kate greville. the former wales manager has pleaded not guilty to the charges and the trial is expected to last for two weeks. here's our reporter matt graveling.

the prosecution said he was i'll try to make idolised by his fans and his performance was a thing of beauty but behind closed doors he had a much more sinister side. the seven year relationship with kate was known as being toxic and after they met in 2013, dated had an on—again off—again relationship or for the both moved into his house in manchester in 2017 below for number of years, mr giggs eroded her trust and confidence making her doubt her so. and in 2020, thejury heard how kate and ryan giggs were out with friends and as she was looking after the house in manchester, kate came back and decided she was going to end the relationship and a little later on, an altercation broke out with which the prosecution alleged that ryan giggs pushed his girlfriend to the floor and elbowed her sister in the job when she tried to break it up and again, the

prosecution alleged that giggs had budded her —— head but her in the face. and do not know the arguments very well and said he never used unlawful violence against kate and during the argument on the 1st of november 2020, he said he did not push his ex—girlfriend, theyjust both he did not push his ex—girlfriend, they just both fell over. he did not push his ex—girlfriend, theyjust both fell over. this trial is set to last for the next two weeks. matt graveling with that report outside court in manchester. this week marks the 30th anniversary of the start of the premier league. three decades on since the game in england was revolutionised, one of the games greats from that opening season, alan shearer, joined the football news show�*s ben croucher to talk about the landmark. if you take a look at the future at the premier league, and 30 years time, where we are going to be, do you think because we this european

it whenever i'm in my press conferences because every single question is about pressure but other than that, like, the only pressures from you guys, really. nowjust a few weeks ago ed slater, the former gloucester rugby union player, became the latest athlete to announce that he has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease. this morning he set off on a 350—mile bike ride fundraiser, but before he left, in a first broadcast interview, he told sally nugent how he's coming to terms with his diagnosis. five, six months ago, we did some testing and ultimately, ended up with a diagnosis of motor neurone disease two or three weeks ago and now, yeah, it's something that you kind of, you never dream of happening to you but it's happened and i have to get on with it. and have to face it.— have to face it. when their diagnosis, what _ have to face it. when their diagnosis, what are - have to face it. when their

well they may have lost to the usa in the final of the american football women's world championships over the weekend, but great britain's players hope they've provided a lasting legacy for the sport in the country. gb took a surprise lead and were level at half—time, but eventually had to settle for a silver medal after losing 42—14 to the favourites in finland. that's how well all the women have bonded together and it's very different plan in the uk with setting aside the format that we have so many of those players were around by the years ago and also playing the first level of games and just reacting the way they did, stepping up and they're really confident going into the kennedy games in the usa games and having that achievement to test themselves and definitely put some pressure on the usa stops we have people in the

team who are young and so, as the players start to see the next generation people coming and it's onlyjust inspiring them to do more throughout the next generation and so, despite losing the game, were still second in the world. we are still second in the world. we are still second in the world and we have done amazingly well and it's just going to carry over. right let's return to the commonwealth games and one of the biggest cheers for a gold came yesterday when home favourite delicious 0rie fought back to beat india's sagar ahlawat to win super—heavyweight gold. 0rie grew up in russia before moving to england as a boy, and now trains in birmingham. the reality to set in, i'm really am a gold medallist after him about this moment for so many years and here we are today and there's a bit

of pressure on me for the second half and i've got to get out of the bag and work now. and i tell you something, the reception i received was immense. the crowd, we won the gold medal because it wasn't for them, i don't know, itjust spurred me on that that there was no way i would be leaving this ringtone of the silver metal, i'm going to get that gold medal. but yesterday, i felt like the whole of wolverhampton was in the ring with me and it's something i'll neverforget. i've never had such a reception before and yeah, i'll have to live that moment. i wish i could bottle it, you know, experience it every day. it is felt so relaxing and comfortable. like to think that i should than the ring when i was competing. i'm relatively relaxed anyway my competitions. but if it extra relaxed because i was at home

ijust extra relaxed because i was at home i just felt like i extra relaxed because i was at home ijust felt like i was boxing in my back yard and. you know. and we took the commonwealth games in the next big when his parents. the olympics was up to get that gold medal, that's the next one for me. but will be very busy throughout the next year, we have the europeans world world championships and getting that experience and when paris comes in the olympics, will be ready to get the olympics, will be ready to get the gold medal.— the olympics, will be ready to get the gold medal. delicious. we went to see a lot — the gold medal. delicious. we went to see a lot more _ the gold medal. delicious. we went to see a lot more from _ the gold medal. delicious. we went to see a lot more from him. - for the last time, let's look at the medal table. 877 medals handed out in total for these games. australia finish top as we knew they would. but look at england, this is their best ever commonwealth games in terms of total medals won, 176. scotland finish with 51 medals — just two short of the record tally achieved at glasgow 2014. good games for wales who finish on 28. northern ireland secured a record medal haul, which has finished on 18. this city has been the setting for so many brilliant

and dramatic moments during these commonwealth games. but now the baton will be handed to australia for the next games, during tonight's closing ceremony. from victoria square to victoria, australia. goodbye from birmingham. hello. it's been quite a hot day today and of the next few days, the temperatures will continue to rise. the heat will probably peek towards the end of the week and into the weekend. he is the satellite picture from earlier on. lots of sunshine, more of this, for the next few days a week with her friends more of this, for the next few days a week with herfriends brushing more of this, for the next few days a week with her friends brushing to the far northwest and west of scotland. this morning on tuesday, 17 in london around 13 in london around 13 and the reports a bit fresher and in parts of scotland. lots of sunshine on the way on
