he wanted to play on another year as a "gift" to fans. dhoni is regarded as a legend of the game, albeit an unconventional one. he has done no wicketkeeping practice during the ipl. it is all natural. he tried to do as teaching session with devon conway and it was almost comical when he was explaining what he does and how untraditional it is. it is not trained, it is not learned. it is learned from tennis ball cricket and is just pure skill. triple 0lympic swimming champion adam peaty has opened up about the mental health struggles he's been going through, telling the bbc that more gold medals will not solve his problems. last month he pulled out of the british championships, saying he was tired and had been in a "self—destructive spiral". he remains hopeful of heading to paris for the olympics next year, but now has a different

persective on winning. you think it will fix all of your problems. if i win a gold medal it will fix all of your problems, but it doesn't even do one of those things. that is when people don't have a healthy relationship with themselves. i was on the tender search for a gold medal or a world record and i looked into the future and thought, if i do get that some is my light fixture any better? no. everything comes at a cost and that might be missing those experiences as a human, as a person. it has been kind of a whirlwind, and again it comes back to where the juice is worth the squeeze. when we talk about depression and low feelings, long times of saying no light, i felt like i have this devil on my shoulder. it wasn't until i

addressed it. people think you have to get rid of them. i completely agree, of course you have, if you can, but at the same time it is just living with your own brain. if you've been affected by any of the issues raised by adam peaty, you can find help and support on the bbc action line. the miami heat are into the nba finals for the first time since 2020, where they will meet the denver nuggets. after being 3 nil up in the best of seven series against the boston celtics, jimmy butler starred in the decider with 28 points, seven rebounds and six assists. they won easily in the end, 103—84 to wrap up the eastern conference finals and continue their bid for a fourth nba title, and first since 2013. i'm just confident, i know the work we all put into it so i know what we are capable of. nobody is satisfied, we haven't done anything, we don't playjust we haven't done anything, we don't play just to win we haven't done anything, we don't playjust to win the eastern conference but the whole thing.

windermere the way visitors expect the lake to look. but changes taking place, say campaigners, threaten its water quality. they had celebrity backing from comedians you may know, who were calling for an end to sewage pollution. all i really want to see is a joined—up approach to our water policy in the future. are we going to build more reservoirs? are we going to look at our sewage infrastructure and stop the discharge of raw sewage — legally or illegally? it should never be legal, it should not be allowed — full stop. these images taken last year show the lake suffering from algae bloom. pollutants can get into the water — such as phosphorous, raw sewage and household waste. steve coogan has a strong local connection. windermere's the biggest lake in england. the lake district is a unesco national heritage site. and if you can't keep windermere clean, then what hope has the rest of the country got? effluent is discharged into rivers and streams that feed into the lake from waste water treatment works.

but raw sewage can also enter during heavy rainfall, when excess storm water is released to prevent the system being overwhelmed. water companies have apologised for not acting quickly enough to deal with sewage spills over the past year, and united utilities says it's putting in investment to tackle the problem. but it does face particular challenges — things like climate change, increasing temperature, and some of the pressures from other things like septic tanks and from agriculture, as well as the inputs from our systems. so there's a collective effort that we need to make. the water industry is really trying to pull themselves out of a very big hole that they've dug. and, fundamentally, an apology isjust not good enough. it's not up to the bill payer to rectify the damage that they've done. for campaigners, this isjust the beginning of a new effort that will secure the lake's future and preserve its beauty. yunus mulla, bbc news.

as large parts of the uk are currently basking in the sunshine, there's no better place to spend the day than by the seaside. however, the outing can be ruined by hungry and aggressive seagulls. 0ne town in the north of england is trying several inventive ways to scare the birds off, from special music to colourful umbrellas. 0ur reporter crispin rolfe has been to bridlington in east yorkshire to see what can be done. one minute it's yourfood, the next minute it's theirs. they're absolutely evil. they come from nowhere. they glide in over your shoulder, they snatch it out of your fingers and before you know it, you've lost it. very annoyed. that's all i've got to say! the challenge is what to do about gulls desperate to feast on your chips. in north yorkshire this is whitby�*s answer to the problem. but what about east yorkshire? could this be the solution for bridlington? is this better than dressing up

in a suit like in whitby? much better than dressing in a suit than in whitby! yes, former bridlington mayor liam dealtry�*s up for the challenge. will it work? aha! and to help him... ..a bird—scaring kite. we could do with that on our caravan. - i'm sick of cleaning up after them. they get everywhere? they do, love, they do. it's fun, and the seagulls do look like they're a bit wary of it. do you think you could put a few of these up around brid? i'd like to think we could. is this going to work? yeah, i actually think it will work. i think it's a great deterrent. do you really? but not everyone agrees will it work? no, i think the seagulls willjust attack it. - do you think they're that naughty? yeah, they are, yeah. so there are other ways to keep the seagulls off. some people recommend an umbrella when you're eating your food. the only problem is, at a seaside it's a little bit windy. and anyway, there's a much simpler solution. we have this problem every

year with the seagulls. and it's education, education, education. if you feed the seagulls they know they've got a food source that they can use all the time. we want you to come to brid, or any seaside resort, to enjoy yourself. just don't feed the gulls. although sometimes that's easier said than done, which is why bridlington needs to stay on its toes. crispin rolfe, bbc news. as extreme sports go, cheese—rolling doesn't necessarily spring to mind. it's not for the feinthearted. hundreds gathered in the english countryside for the unofficial event with competitors travelling from as far afield as the us, japan and switzerland. steve knibbs was in gloucestershire for a slice of the action.

the cheese is rolling again. the cheese is rolling again. and it's not for and it's not for the faint—hearted. bumps and bangs along the way for many. and it was matt from manchester who bagged the first cheese. i'm glad i'm pretty conscious and i've not got many serious injuries. i'm a big fan of cheese, so i'm buzzing! some people did take the rolling a bit too literally, but it was delaney from canada who won the ladies' the faint—hearted. race — with a thump. despite getting knocked out, like most cheese rolling champions, it wasn't long before she was back on her feet. what do you remember of the race? er...i remember running and then i hurt my head. and then i woke up in the tent! the question is, are you going to come back next year and do it again to reclaim your title? i think i will! ifi... yeah! if i see around to it, yes. despite the injuries. despite the injuries, i think it's worth it. this crazy spectacle attracts people from across the world, and it was the aptly named cooper from washington who pipped famous local champion chris anderson to a double gloucester at the bottom of cooper's hill.

it happened so quickly, i don't even remember. ijust kind of went and... right when i saw him line up, ijust matched his energy and tried to beat him. so, yeah. how does it feel now you're at the bottom? i'm kind of hurting a little bit, but... the adrenaline's wearing off, but i got the cheese, so it's worth it. it comes as no surprise that there were several injuries — competitors obviously take part at their own risk. 0ne entrant had to be taken to hospital with what's thought to be a broken leg. and whilst there are plenty who want to run down the hill, some are discouraged. we had a bloke up here yesterday in his 70s, wants to be the oldest bloke. we said, "you can't do it, mate. you can slide down on your burn, but you ain't... you can't do it!" a team of volunteers help run the cheese roll. the authorities want there to be more official organisation to make it as safe as possible. but the tradition carries on — something that's been happening here for centuries. you compare it with pre—pandemic levels. now it's time for a look at the weather with carole. hello again. over the next few days the weather is fairly settled for most of us. high pressure remains firmly in charge, although we'll start some

mornings on a cloudy note, the cloud tending to burn back to parts of the east coast, but it could be thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle. most of us staying dry. the warmest, sunniest conditions in the west. at times there will be a chilly breeze across the south. the peak of the heat is likely to be today and tomorrow somewhere in the west, more than likely around the glasgow area where we'll reach 25 or 26 degrees. where we hang on to the cloud across eastern areas, this is where the temperature will be that bit lower. so under the cloud, for example, on the east coast we might not see a higher temperature than 13 degrees. through the rest of this afternoon what you'll find is the cloud will continue to push back towards the east coast. it will linger anywhere from yorkshire down towards east anglia, but a lot of dry weather elsewhere, a lot of sunshine. we hang on to the cloud across northern scotland. light breezes, but windy through the english channel and a cool breeze across the south. london seeing a high of 20 degrees today, as is belfast, but 2a or 25 quite possible around the glasgow area.

as we head on through the evening and overnight, this cloud will come in quite quickly from the north sea and advance towards the west. we hang on to the cloud across northern scotland. there will be some breaks in the west of scotland and northern ireland and here, in rural areas, we could well see temperatures fall to three or four, but most of us staying between about seven and ii. a cloudy start to the day tomorrow. tomorrow, like today, some of this cloud will push back towards the east. we'll see more warm sunshine. still the cloud lingering across the far north of scotland and still this keen breeze across southern areas. tomorrow we could reach 25 or 26 around the glasgow area. again, under any lingering cloud in the east, temperatures will be suppressed. even into thursday we still hang on to all this cloud across eastern areas, but a bit more cloud across scotland than we're going to see in the next few days. live from london, this is bbc news.
