threw my whole 16 years of the sport in that last 200 and didn't give up until the end. the of course, disappointed with what happened. at the same time, i really don't feel like i could have done anything different. just ask unfortunately, that's how it went. i've been preparing as good as i can in the best shape of my life, but if your body is not 100%, there is not much you can do. i can't do magic, unfortunately. let's bring you up to date on 3 other finals in the mens 400 metre hurdles, norway's reigning olympic champion and world record holder, karsten warholm, found an extra gear to surge clear on the closing straight and regain his crown in fine style. thats now a record third a00m hurdles world title for the 27 year old.

marileidy paulino meanwhile has become the first dominican woman to be crowned world champion after taking gold in the 400metres. paulino finally claiming top spot on the podium after silvers at last year's worlds and tokyo 0lympics. there was a touching moment in the womens pole vault with katie moon and nina kennedy deciding to share their gold medal. american moon and australia's kennedy both cleared 4.90 metres but missed all three attempts at 4.95m after a draining two hour and 10 minute contest. they could have gone to a jump—off but ultimately decided 2 winners were better than 1. there's european football action on wednesday, three 1st leg champions league qualifying ties to tell you about. there was a 5 goal thriller as norwegian side molde slugged it out with the turkish champions galatasaray mauro icardi with the injury time winner that gives them a slender lead going into the return leg in turkey. meanwhile, braga of portugal edged past greek side panathanaikos, 2—1 and israel's maccabi haifa played out a goalless draw

latest blow to england's world cup hopes. this was the tackle which will rule him out of his nations tricky opening match against argentina. add to that, at 0wen farrell will miss two games in the tournament due to his own band, yet more challenges to a team that has struggled to perform for some time now. struggled to perform for some time nova— time now. england have been desperately poor. _ time now. england have been desperately poor. we - time now. england have been desperately poor. we don't i time now. england have been . desperately poor. we don't know how they are supposed to... a pushover trade against whales. there is no pattern. i don't think they are particularly worried about england. this wasn't where _ worried about england. this wasn't where england thought they would be. eddiejones who led them to the last world cup final was supposed to take them into this one, but he was sacked at the end of last year replaced by steve's who couldn't lift the team beyond fourth in the six nations. england it seemed were being bypassed. the world cup warm—ups have left many called. so do the players really believe they can win the tournament? i believe they can win the tournament?— believe they can win the tournament? ., �* , tournament? i wouldn't be here

hello. well, it has been quite warm in the last few days, but nothing compared to what's been happening south of the english channel in france and spain. temperatures recently hit 44 celsius. and for france, a record for august. this is the anomaly map, so the orange colours show temperatures higher than average, the blue colours lower than average. but watch what happens when thatjet stream takes a dip. this trough develops and pushes the heat further towards the east of europe, and the temperatures tend to ease somewhat anyway. and we have cooler weather on the way over the next few days for our neck of the woods. in fact, right now, you can see the jet streams right over us, clouds circling, an area of low pressure bringing some showers. there could be some thunderstorms early in the morning. but with low pressure in charge and these northerly winds

riding around this western flank of the low, the temperatures are set to drop by a few degrees by the time we get to friday and certainly the weekend. so the outlook is things turning a little bit cooler, but there'll be some sunshine around with occasional showers. here's the forecast then for early thursday, some rain there across northern and eastern scotland, showers elsewhere and also eyes towards the south, thunderstorms could be breaking out early in the morning as well. but it's a very mild start to the day, 12 celsius in glasgow, possibly even 17 celsius on the south coast. now on these thunderstorms, really vicious storms for a time, potentially across the channel islands, crossing the channel, heading roughly to the isle of wight, and then affecting the east, the south east that is, of england. we do think that they will probably veer off towards the east—northeast, so missing most of the south east of england. and i think anyway, for many of us through the course of thursday, it is going to be a mixture of sunny spells and showers. so most of us will not get the storms on thursday. temperatures, 17 celsius in glasgow, about 18 celsius in liverpool. still holding onto some of that warmth there in the southeast, 2a celsius.

and then on friday, if you look at the wind arrows, here's the clue, the air�*s coming in from the north. sunny spells and showers, those temperatures around 16—17 celsius in scotland. in the south, 19—21 celsius, and i think we'll lose some of that humidity, so it won't feel quite as warm. and here is the outlook through the weekend and into next week — cooler. bye— bye.
