2:47 pm
we are looking at ways to do that, using the video boards where they exist, enhancing messages and... and also, again, reducing those delays. if you are in the stadium watching the game the goal is scored, you want to be able to celebrate and get back into the game as quickly as possible and there is frustration when there are delays. the soon as we can get to the final decision, the less frustration at his cause. i think that a make the in stadium experience better. and in tennis, with the us open just around the corner, two—time champion naomi osaka says she feels "scared" and "mentally drained" after her early exit from the cincinnati open. the japanese tennis star has failed to make the main draw singles. in an instagram statement, osaka talked about herjourney since giving birth, acknowledging "in a weird way i've come "to appreciate losses, you don't play tennis for 20+ years "without your fair share of them. she continued to say the "biggest issue currently
2:48 pm
"isn't the losses though, my biggest issue is that i don't "feel like i'm in my body." and that's all the sport for now. telling hilarious or embarrassing stories from your personal life is something many stand—up comedians do night after night on stage. but what about turning your periods into a laughing matter? that's what comedian bella humphries has done for her debut show at the edinburgh fringe this august, after being diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder or pmdd, an extreme form of pms. the department of psychiatry at oxford university looked at studies across the world and found that 1.6% of women and girls sufferfrom pmdd, that is around 31 million globally although they believe this number could be higher earlier i spoke to bella humphries, a comedian who turned her period condition into a stand—up show at the edinburgh fringe festival. i thought it would be really important to, you know, use the sort of platform and the voice that
2:49 pm
i have and it's something i would have loved to have seen when i was growing up. i got diagnosed when i was 27, but i've had pmdd since i was ia and i was never really aware of it. so i think that if, you know, people could see and hear about it in a way that's really accessible and fun, then it might help to spread some awareness about the condition and help more people get diagnosed with it and get the treatment and help they need. bella, i confess i hadn't heard of pmdd either. we have a list of symptoms here because some of them might be very familiar to some of our viewers. they can include headaches, joint and muscle pain, overeating, problem sleeping, feeling anxious, very anxious, angry, depressed, or even suicidal. do some of those sound like what you went through or continue to go through? almost every single one of them. and they started when you were 14? yeah. so yeah, i can sort of trace it back to when i was ia,
2:50 pm
when i had my first period. i obviously didn't connect the dots back then, but since being diagnosed, i can look back and see that, yeah, this is what i was struggling with my whole life and sort of, you know... how easy was that diagnosis? did you find gps and doctors were aware of the condition and identified it quickly? i think i was incredibly lucky that i had found out about pmdd when i was struggling really badly in the pandemic, and i was very fortunate to be able to go privately and see a specialist gynaecologist to get diagnosed. but i went in saying, i think i've got pmdd, these are my symptoms. and the doctor agreed, but i know it can take, it can take about 12 years sometimes for people to get diagnosed, and that is often because gps just aren't always aware of it. i don't think it's part of their training and it's not, you know, something that everybody is aware of and it also has a lot of crossover symptoms with other health conditions.
2:51 pm
so it can go under the radar. bella, tell us about standing on stage and discussing this. terrifying, i imagine, even just doing stand up alone, let alone bringing this element of your life into it. what kind of reaction was there? it's been amazing. it's been absolutely incredible and honestly, better than i could have ever imagined. i've had sort of varying crowds. i have had, you know, i've had teenage girls come and watch it. i've had a man with his three young daughters come and see it. i've had older couples. yeah, just people from all walks of life and everybody�*s taken something different from it. but sort of the overarching feedback i've received is just how glad they are that they've heard about something that they either didn't know about, or that they have felt like they've been seen and recognised in a sort of more mainstream way. you know, before i got diagnosed,
2:52 pm
i'd really never seen anything about pmdd. and so, yeah, it's just been amazing. it's been a really brilliant experience. the wreck of a ship which sank more than 200 years ago in one of the uk's worst maritime disasters has been granted special protection by the government. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy reports. this is the story of tragedy, great riches, heroism and poetry. and it all revolves around this ship, the earl of abergavenny, that floundered in these waters off dorset more than 200 years ago. yes, this is the maritime gallery in here. david carter has spent a0 years diving on the wreck of the vessel. he says it was en route from portsmouth to china when it hit a sandbank in a storm off the shores of weymouth. even by the standards of the day, just how big a tragedy was this? this was an enormous tragedy that went right across the country.
2:53 pm
250 people died. it was human error. the conditions of the storm, of the night and everything coming together, causing the perfect storm. the earl of abergavenny was not only a revolutionary design incorporating metal into its wooden frame, but the captain was someone special, too. the clue to his identity lies in these gold cufflinks with the initials jw. they stand forjohn wordsworth. he was the brother of william wordsworth, the renowned romantic poet. william's grief overjohn's death changed his poetry for ever. the ship lies in soft of water about a mile off the coast here in weymouth. but this isn't just a story about a huge loss of life. the vessel was also carrying 62 chests of silver bullion worth around £7 million in today's money.
2:54 pm
the bullion has been lost to antiquity, but these artefacts have been recovered from a wreck that has today been given special protected status. the personal clutched from the perils of the deep. why is it important to remember this ship? this vessel is the finest and largest of the east india company ships and the scheduling will enable it to be protected. it is quite unique. the government has worked with historic england to create this protected status. it means people can still dive on the wreck, but must leave its contents in place. a unique submerged exhibit held by the waves for posterity. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in weymouth. let's ta ke let's take you back to life pictures we are having from gaza. these are
2:55 pm
the scenes on the gaza strip. we will be looking at the efforts to continue. to persuade israel and hamas to reach a deal. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. temperatures have been cooling somewhat since we had the highest temperature of the year so far to begin this week. today looks rather cloudy for parts of england and wales, with some rain at times, but plenty of sunshine thanks to this ridge of high pressure. but we look to the north west, this area of low pressure and its active weather front will bring a spell of wet and windy weather for many of us over the next 2a hours. that rain starts to push into scotland and northern ireland through this evening and overnight. much of england and wales will tend to be drier. we'll have a bit of cloud hanging on in the south east, that will stop temperatures from dipping much below ia or 15 degrees, but it's a milder night to come further north than what we had the previous night. so we're dominated with this area
2:56 pm
of low pressure and its weather front as we head into thursday. it will be a wet and windy day for large parts of scotland, northern ireland and getting into northern and western england and wales. the midlands and into the southeast will see variable cloud, some sunshine. yes, it will be breezy here as well, but we could still be up to around 25 or 26 degrees here. but it's the high teens, low 20s elsewhere, closer to what we expect this time of year. that weather front spreads across the rest of england and wales as we move through thursday night. fairly quickly, i think, clears off into the near continent, but there's still some warm air across the southeast. further north, it will be a fresher start to friday. eventually, that weather front clears through. fresher air will prevail across the country, but it will be a fine day, i think, for many, with some good spells of sunshine. breezy with a few showers across scotland and northern ireland and these sorts of temperatures are what we expect this time of year, high teens in the north to the low to mid 20s further south. now, the weekend is looking pretty decent. it's going to be dry. lengthy spells of sunshine.
2:57 pm
it's because we're in between weather systems both saturday and sunday and a ridge of high pressure will bring light winds and a good deal of sunshine. just a few showers, perhaps, for the north west of scotland. so for saturday, then, a breezier day to come across northern areas, a bit more cloudy and maybe the odd shower the further south that you are across england and wales. we'll see more sunshine around and lighter winds. those temperatures reaching the mid 20s in the south. high teens, low 20s in the north. we do it all again on sunday. another fine day to come with plenty of sunshine. light winds further south, breezier for scotland and northern ireland and there will be a few showers grazing the northwest corner of scotland. again, those temperatures, high teens in the north to the mid 20s in the south.
