the broadcasting regulator ofcom has begun an investigation.nist. the family of a young black gymnast at the centre of a racism row in irish sport, say there's no excuse for what happened to their daughter. the ten—year—old girl was the only gymnast in a competition line—up not to be handed a participation medal. speaking publicly for the first time since the incident last year, her parents have told the bbc about their fight for an apology from the governing body, gymnastics ireland. meanwhile, the controversy attracted the attention of the multi—olympic gold medal winning gymnast simone biles. here's stephanie hegarty. a little girl, jittering with excitement, waiting for her medal. passed over not once, but twice. it is painful to actually state and know the obvious. my daughter was the only black child in that competition. she stood out well. there was no excuse for what happened. at ten years old, did she feel that this was racist? oh, yeah. yeah. and that's the sad trauma they put through a ten—year—old. because, like i said, she is the o

thank you very - much and the regulator, ofcom, also looking at this case.d afternoon. this was the calm before the storm because agnes is well and truly bearing down across the united kingdom and ireland. the signature swirl of cloud around that deepened area of low pressure, which is not only bringing heavy rain, but gale force, if not severe gale force winds, as it tracks its way north and east. this is where we expect the potentially destructive winds with gusts up to 50 mph inland — enough to bring down some power lines and the odd tree. in extremities, we could see gusts of 70 or 75 mph over coastal areas and the hills. that, combined with the heavy rain, particularly for scotland and northern ireland, giving some disruption and hazardous conditions. away from southern and eastern areas it is a tale of two seasons today. it will feel quite summer—like i should imagine, and warm in the south and east, but wetter weather further north and west, with heavy showers across western parts of england, and wales. 22 or 23 celsius in the sunshine. staying largel
