With the Paris Olympics next year still a possibility. Iam not i am not going to play on at the world cup, but i did say im looking to play the next olympics, but they. I dont have the answer that i work on the feeling day by day if i work on the feeling day by day if i still have that power that i can, you know, show with the team, with brazil, and fight for a gold medal.

Really pleased for the club that this title, we didnt have it and now we have it. It needs one to finish full circle and be able for this club to win all the titles we can have.

Earlier we heard from education sectretary Gillian Keegan who explained how this years a levels have been graded fairly, despite students having missed out on taking gcses because of the pandemic. You cant compare them to last year of the two years previous. We are comparing them to 2019. In terms of the level Playing Field for the cohort taking exams then, yes, definitely. Exams are the fairest way, everybody sits on the same place, with the same content, with the same conditions, having to do the same conditions, having to do the same conditions, having to do the same exam. Before we go into this, we have tojust the same exam. Before we go into this, we have to just congratulate this, we have to just congratulate this cohort. They have been through such a lot.

Good luck with the rest of your studies. Now its time for a look at the weather with carol. Hello again. If you have an allergy to weed pollen to these levels across england and also wales are high. Now, High Pressure is in charge of our weather at the moment. So things are fairly settled. You can see from the squeeze in the isobars it is going to turn breezier through the day. And then later weve got this Weather Front bringing in some rain. So the forecast as we go through the rest of the afternoon really is one of sunny spells, areas of Cloud At Times and an isolated chance of showers, say, in the southwest. Maybe a few getting in across the northeast of scotland, but it will feel fresher along the north sea coastline with an onshore breeze. Then its going to cross central and Western Areas where the temperature will be higher. We could hit 27 degrees in hampshire through this evening. Some sunshine to enjoy before later on. The cloud thickens up out towards the west, heralding the arrival of this first Weather Front, bringing in some showery outbreaks of rain, heavy at times with the odd rumble of thunder. Its going to be humid, too, with the wind picking up off the coast of wales and the wind tomorrow around the north west of wales will be a feature of the weather. With exposure, we could have gusts up to about 60 miles an hour. The north of scotland hanging onto some sunshine. You can see theres quite a bit of cloud around. And then later the next band of Heavy Thundery Rain comes into the southwest. Its going to feel humid across southern areas tomorrow. But in the sunshine in the north of scotland, it will feel quite pleasant. Now, overnight, friday into saturday, its going to be a very warm night. And on saturday this Weather Front pushes further north, taking its heavy rain with it. And here, too, in the north of scotland, its going to be windy move further south, its a mixture of sunshine and showers. A lot of the showers will be in Western Areas. The further south and east that you travel, the better chance you have of staying dry. And its going to feel fresher in saturday than its going to do on friday. We lose that humidity into sunday. Low pressure is anchored to the north west of us, so areas close to the northwest will see the showers. We could see a few getting into North West Wales and also into the south west as well as north west england. But further east its likely to stay drier and temperatures getting up at best into the mid twenties. As we head on into the next couple of days. Again for many away from the northwest where we hang on to some showers, it should be largely dry with some sunny spells. Live from london. This is bbc news.
