New data showing easyjet passengers and those flying from gatwick were the worst affected. And coming soon from your iphone, the first ginger icon from the emerging library.

Where are the british medals . Robbie grabarz could grab one over the weekend, use into the highjump final. There wasnt too much to shout about in the 100 hurdles. Porter says shes embarrassed to go out in the first round. Ijust did not want i just did not want to ijust did not want to miss out on this opportunity, i wanted to put my best foot forward, its so embarrassing to come here and run like that. The crowd will be behind Dina Asher Smith tonight as she chases a dream medal in the 200 metres. Im Lizzie Greenwood hughes and ill have the rest of the days sports news. Including a look ahead to the start of the Premier League. Who will be lifting the trophy, Come May Next year . Im at the Emirates Stadium as the new premier League Season begins tonight with arsenal against leicester city. And the latest from the final golf major of the season, the final golf major of the season, the us pga where mcilroy is fighting to stay in contention. Good evening. It is strange to think that the premier League Season is starting just a couple of miles over there at arsenal, we have been so immersed in the World Athletics Championships for the last eight days. Just one weekend to go. And its been a week since we saw a british medal. Mo farah gold on the opening night. That is all that the british team have to show so far. There are four gold medals to be one this evening. Before we look ahead with a couple of realistic british Medal Chances if we keep everything crossed, lets look back at the morning session. We saw a few new faces on the scene. Robbie grabarz isnt a new face because five years ago at the london games, he amazed everyone by getting on the podium. He is determined to make another final. He says hes getting a bit old now and this could be his last chance. He gave us as ca re be his last chance. He gave us as care in qualifying. 2. 31 was the mark and you can see from his reaction that he did it at the third attempt, matching his seasons bust. He said he was getting a Bit Overexcited and didnt want to blow it. After he stepped off the infield i had it. After he stepped off the Infield Ihada it. After he stepped off the infield i had a chat with him. I made it stressfulfor i made it stressful for myself and eve ryo ne i made it stressful for myself and everyone else, i was jumping i made it stressful for myself and everyone else, i wasjumping off i made it stressful for myself and everyone else, i was jumping off the floor well, technically badly. Its kind of nice to make the final technically badly is the first time ive been really nervous in my life. By ive been really nervous in my life. By never going to jump ive been really nervous in my life. By never going tojump and run in a major championships again. Its quite an exciting place to be, running so fast, thinking, you can do this and then leaving myself nowhere to go. You must have thought about this coming into these championships but you could not block it out and concentrate the job. I always get excited and run too fast, coming year will elevate this even more, its something i will deal with in the next couple of days. It was so brilliant five years ago, a career highlight although this is the one model that has eluded you. A World Championship medal. And i came close to making it impossible to achieve this weekend so impossible to achieve this weekend so its giving myself an opportunity to correct a few things and fight in the final. We look forward to seeing him in the final. Elsewhere it was a bit of a disappointing morning for british athletics. The stadium was one quarter for which is disappointing. Perhaps tiffa ny which is disappointing. Perhaps Tiffany Porter needed more support from the crowd. She got a bronze medal at the World Championships in moscow four years ago but she was well below her best in her heat this morning. She was sixth. You had to finish in the top four to qualify. She was well below her best and admitted afterwards that it wasnt good enough. I have been really struggling this year. Ive had many setbacks, just not in the form i need to be in and that was massively disappointing. What can i say. Can you elaborate on some other things youve had to deal with. Ive had some personal stuff that ive been dealing with as well. Ijust didnt that ive been dealing with as well. I just didnt want to miss out that ive been dealing with as well. Ijust didnt want to miss out on this opportunity. I wanted to put my best foot forward, and so embarrassing to come here and run like that. Alicia barrett was also in action the the 100 metre hurdles. She also failed to go through. This morning also saw the start of the mens decathlon. Of course in the womens event, youve gotJessica Ennis hill, Katarina Johnson thompson, we had dean macey before. Ashley bryant is the athlete trying to follow in those footsteps hes the commonwealth silver medallist. He came 5th in his heat but ran quite well, finishing in a time of 11. 14 seconds a seasons best. Next up it was the long jump, and bryant did quite well in this. His best leap measured 7. 41; metres. That put him in to 16th place overall, and then there was the shot put, just over a0 metres, 13th place in his Group Although then he slipped to 17th. They are currently going in the highjump. They came out at five oclock for this one. Again he is doing all right, 1. 96 metres at the first time of asking but some of his competitors including the leader at the moment, from france, well over two metres. Hes pushed himself to 15th overall, less tha n hes pushed himself to 15th overall, less than 200 points of the medals with six events to go. Its going to bea with six events to go. Its going to be a bit ofa with six events to go. Its going to be a bit of a struggle. He is just about to go now. Well see if we can show you this live on bbc news. Hes just getting ready for another jump. Im sorry but we cant, you should hear the Crowd Shouting and you will know if hes going to clear it or not. One other event to tell you about from the morning session, and that was the women discuss qualifying event. Going in this for Great Britain was jade lally. After two no throws, she managed to register 57. 71 with her final effort. Not good enough to make the final, but as she explained afterwards her build up had been hampered by injury. That was Ashley Bryant missing out in the highjump. Ive not managed to string together two weeks of training since february so two weeks of training since february so to get he was an achievement in itself, before the injury i had high hopes, my best would have gotten me into the medals but its not to be, sadly. I did what i could with the preparation i had. So that was the best of the morning session here at the london stadium, that was ashley brya nt the london stadium, that was Ashley Bryant in the decathlon just missing out on one metre 99. Looks like he will slip down the standings. Lets look ahead to this evening, four gold medals to be won and if we keep everything crossed we could see some british medals. 0ur Everything crossed we could see some british medals. Our best chance is Dina Asher Smith in the 200 metres. Shes become a crowd favourite, she was here before once as a Kit Carrierfor was here before once as a Kit Carrier Forjessica was here before once as a Kit CarrierforJessica Ennis hill. She cruised through her heat so she goes into the final this evening with so much confidence although she will be up much confidence although she will be up against the likes of daphne skippers. Lets hearfrom Dina Asher Smith. I had to have surgery, they put two screws in it and then i had to spend six weeks not doing anything. Gradually putting weight on it over the next six weeks, for three weeks i was pretty much out of walking. And then i again and here i am. You are now in the final, an achievement in itself, what would satisfy you. To runa in itself, what would satisfy you. To run a quicker time would be good. That time for me isnt great but in the context it is good. And like to get in the mix of bit but we must wait and see. Three of her team mates are in the semifinal of the 800 metres tonight. Lynsey sharp, Shelayna 0skan Clarke and Adelle Tracey all made it through their heats. Perhaps the best medal chance is lynsey sharp. She came second in her heat shes a former european gold medallist over this distance. 0ne round at a time, the semis were tough. As for your own confidence, where compared to last year, an 0lympic finalist . Where compared to last year, an olympic finalist . This season has been funny. Up and down. But i have persevered and got back to almost at my best. Im in the best shape ive ever been in. The womens long jump final takes place tonight and there is british interest in it. Lorraine ugen made it through with a leap of 6. 63 metres in a rain soaked qualifying session on wednesday. That was good enough for third place. Tiana ba rtoletta, the American Olympic and World Champion and Daryl Klishina are the two to watch. Klishina competing as a neutral. But Lorraine Ugen Mightjust Sneak Infora but Lorraine Ugen mightjust sneak in for a medal. There could be a medal too for nick miller in the mens hammer. He failed to make the final in rio but he made it through qualifying here on wednesday night with a throw of 75. 52m, that saw him finish in 7th place. He said he wasnt fully fit when he competed at the olympics last year but reckons hes at full fitness now. I think the preparation has been great. We had a camp in paris, the tea m great. We had a camp in paris, the Team Atmosphere was very good, all the stuff and athletes joking, just a nice environment. I always think qualification is more nerve racking than the file. Once you get into the final you relax, you know that you are there. Than the final. Final you relax, you know that you are there. Than the final. Its going to be a busy night tonight. One other mens event to look out for tonight, the mens 1500 metre semi finals. Two british athletes made it through last nights heats Jake Wightman and chris 0hare. Wightman actually did very well, qualifying ath fastest, while 0hare was down in 1ath. Wightman also won a Diamond League event this year in oslo. Hes definitely someone to keep an eye on. We will see how he gets on. All the details throughout the rest of the evening on bbc news. Well be back here later but what a busy day of sport. Lizzie can guide you through that. Thanks 0lly, lets turn our attention to the Premier League because the new season kicks off tonight the first time its started on a friday night. Arsenal take on leicester at the Emirates Stadium in london and our Sports Correspondent andy swiss is there for us. Good evening, andy, arsenal finished last season outside the top four for the first time under Arsene Wenger, but they did win the fa cup final. How are they looking for a title tilt this season . Well after what happened last season in the Premier League would imagine arsenalfans are in the Premier League would imagine arsenal fans are not holding their breath. That said, there have been encouraging signs in the Transfer Market over the summer, particularly the signing of the new player from lyon for almost £15 million. He looks some player, he scored 37 goals for lyon. The fans will be excited. Leicester city suffered something of a hangover after the Incredible Premier League triumph the year before. Both managers are optimistic about their chances. The squad looks good, then its too translate the quality of the preparation into points, that is a pragmatic view but what matters is winning the next game and starting ina winning the next game and starting in a strong way which we didnt do last year and thats what you want to achieve. We all see the money spent now in the Premier League which makes it harder every year but it is the best league in the world because of that and we aim to be as competitive as the next team. When it comes to opening day fixtures arsenal have quite a bad recent record, they have lost three out of their last four and after all that pressure on Arsene Wenger at the end of last season you imagine he will be desperate to make a winning start here tonight. It will be exciting and strange on a friday night. Before you go and must ask you about Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool dont wa nt to Philippe Coutinho. Liverpool dont want to sell him but hes put in a tra nsfer want to sell him but hes put in a Transfer Request and barcelona want. Whats the latest. This is turning into quite a saga. 0n whats the latest. This is turning into quite a saga. On wednesday liverpool rejected a bid of £90 million for Philippe Coutinho from barcelona. Although now it has emerged that the player has handed ina emerged that the player has handed in a Transfer Request. Bad news imaging just hours after liverpool issued a statement, that news emerging. Just after the club said he wasnt for sale and they wouldnt consider any offers. Liverpool have rejected that a Transfer Request. They insist he is not for sale but you suspect that That Saga Will Run And run. Andy, thank you very much, enjoy the opening match of the season enjoy the opening match of the season at the Emirates Stadium. Lets take a look at how last seasons promoted teams are faring ahead of their return to the top flight. Well look at huddersfield and newcastle in a moment but first to brighton. The last time they were in englands top division was 3a years ago and they have a formidable opener tomorrow. At home to the big spending manchester city. I think for us there are great exa m ples of i think for us there are great examples of teams that have gone up and state up and have fared well over a period of time, and there are ones that havent. Yes, we will look to try to get as many good experiences as much knowledge as we can. That is notjust over this summer, it is as we go through this season. Because everybody will hit difficult periods and what youve got to be able to do is, overcome those periods. Well, if brighton have waited a while to play in the top flight, huddersfields last spell was even further back 1972 to be exact. Now theyve made it and their fans have travelled en masse to Crystal Palace where theyll open their campaign tomorrow. Harry gration is with them. Forgive me but i never miss an opportunity to do Missionary Work. Im in thornton heath, this is the prince george, normally a Crystal Palace pub, taken over today by the southern terriers, who i know are still in something of a state of shock. Certainly, sergi row, cant believe its happening. But when they run out tomorrow it will all sink in they run out tomorrow it will all sink in certainly, for sure. They run out tomorrow it will all sink in certainly, for sure. Some people say that they will go straight down but we know Something Special is happening with this manager and the whole club. Absolutely. I dont think we have a chance of getting relegated. I got a tenor on a solid top ten finish. It will be great. David wagner has put together a fantastic team, brilliant new signings, just excited for it to started again. Are you surprised that there are so many Huddersfield Town supporters in this Neck Of The Woods . No because it is such a good team, we are playing the best foot ball team, we are playing the best football ive ever seen and would be watching them since the 19605. This is watching them since the 19605. This i5a watching them since the 19605. This is a good team. Even when we get beaten by fans are behind David Brabham and dean hoyle a5 beaten by fans are behind David Brabham and dean hoyle as well. The Clu B Brabham and dean hoyle as well. The club is living the dream. You did think at one time that you were the only Huddersfield Town fans around here. Remit i did, i cant believe there are so many, the hundreds, its a joy to get on the train with some and a great people from huddersfield who now live down south, have a great day and watch the best team in england. You like big kids, some of you dont need to be this is such a dream. We are on what5 be this is such a dream. We are on whats up with each other, it5 like, four days to go, three days to go, its unbelievable, cant wait for tomorrow. What would be a reasonable way to end the season . Midterm. Even if we do get relegated it will still be a great season. Its been lovely to talk to you, great to do some Missionary Work here and lets hope it continues at Selhurst Park tomorrow. What shall we say to rounded off . Up the some very happy Huddersfield Town fans. As for newcastle, theyre back in the Premier League at the first attempt, following their relegation in 2016. They won the championship last season, and despite missing out on some of their summer targets, manager rafa benitez insists he is committed to the cause, as they host last seasons runner ups spurs at St James Park on sunday. 0bviously obviously i said how i feel. At the same time obviously i said how i feel. At the same time i said that my commitment is 100 with this team, this club, in terms of trying to win from the first game. My ambition is to do well in every single game, and get three points. Im not saying im pleased with everything because it is not true. Im saying i will do my best to be as high as possible in the table. Tottenhams manager has been fighting fires after an extraordinary newspaper interview by defender danny rose, in which he claimed spurs players were under paid and criticised the clubs transfer policy. Rose has since apologised, and his manager says thats the end of the matter. I was iwasa i was a player and sometimes you are frustrated for different reasons, for me, its not a big issue, now we have moved on, it is good for him to say that, it is good to start a new season, i think its important move on. Its beenjust over a month since six year old Bradley Lowery died after battling a rare form of cancer. The sunderland fan won a legion of supporters across the country, including footballerjermain defoe. Now, in his first interview since bradleys death, jermain told the bbc how hes been inspired by his best mate. It was in september last year when Jermain First walked out with bradley and from, that moment on, a friendship was made. That story of brads is just special. Ive got a nice picture in the house of me and brads at the england game. I walked him out and we sang the National Anthem. But, yeah, its a special story, you know . My best friend. It was genuine. I mean, he was a kid, all he knew is. I dont know, hejust loved his football. He loved me. I loved him. But i could see his eyes it was genuine because as a child, there was nothing i could give him, apart from just being a friend. They were best friends and it was a friendship that captured the hearts of everyone. It was an instant connection and one that continues with bradleys mum and dad. Even towards the end when he was really struggling and he was in bed, he couldnt really move, i would walk into the room and hed jump up and his mum is, like, he hasnt moved all day so, yeah, for me every time i saw him it was a special feeling. The emotion is still raw, but the impact the little boy has had on defoe has been a positive one. The bournemouth striker calls it a gift and says he will be forever grateful that bradley came into his life. In a funny sort of way i wake up and i think, i dont know, if youve got a headache or you dont feel well or feel tired, just snap out of it if i can see a little kid suffer like that and still fight, then. I mean, for me, there is no bigger motivation to think, well, if he can go through that and fight, then i can go through anything. You walked out with him so many times, but was the england moment the best . Yeah, that was the best. I remember being down the tunnel and he was looking for me, like he does, and i came down the tunnel and gave him a cuddle and joe hart said to me, jermaine, will you walk the team out . For him to do that, that was special. Then we walked out and just standing there singing the National Anthem with brads on mothers day and being back involved in the england squad and actually playing at wembley. And scoring. For me, yeah, it was one of the best moments of my career. See more about that interview in Football Focus tomorrow. A couple more stories before we get back to the athletics. American kevin kisner is still leading on day two of the us pga, the final golf major of the year. Rory mcilroy has had difficulty with four bogeys on his back nine although he did finish with two birdies to give them self confidence. Hes two over for the tournament. Someone in danger of missing the cut Isjustin Rose of england. His round included four bogeys. 0nto cricket, and yorkshire diamonds made a winning start to the Womens Super League convincingly beating lancashire thunder. All rounder Alice Davidson richards hit a quickfire 22 not out with the bat helping yorkshire to 162 for a from their 20 overs. And she then took three wickets with the ball as lancashire fell 28 runs short of their target. Now back to the athletics with 0lly thank you. Christian tailor, the triplejump thank you. Christian tailor, the triple jump champion, has thank you. Christian tailor, the triplejump champion, has had his gold medal, the chant and the british fans is why havent we got more medals to show for eight days of com edition, just one gold from mo farah in the 10,000 metres. Is it because the team is in transition . Have they been unlucky, Jessica Ennis hill isnt here, Greg Rutherford is injured. Just this afternoon i spoke to Greg Rutherford about this lack of british medals. The problem is that we had a period where some of us were winning medals which inflated the fact that britain we re which inflated the fact that britain were doing well. Mo farah was winning two gold medals and pretty every championship which makes the telling of butter. The dish athletes are giving it their best, it is just as it seems in world athletics at the moment british athletes. We just havent had enough there to win medals. 0bviously just havent had enough there to win medals. Obviously is incredibly disappointing. You are hoping and they are still my team mates and i am willing them on as much as possible although itjust isnt happening. At the end of this championships and i really hope this doesnt happen but if we are left with only mo farah winning two medals theres got to be a strong look at why this has happened. I dont really see much in the uk of top elite level coaching. Good coaches but not good enough. 0utsource my coaching in the us, so does mo. 0ther 0utsource my coaching in the us, so does mo. Other athletes travel to find the best. What would be amazing would be the uk bringing in the best to coach so we can continue this 2012 legacy. Because as i see it, coaching wise especially that hasnt really happened. Good points from Greg Rutherford, Tubing Everything crossed that Dina Asher Smith can raise the roof at ten minutes to ten tonight. Thats it for world athletics sportsday, whatever sport you are watching, however you are watching it and whoever you are watching, have a great weekend from all of us, goodbye good evening. Yes we have had more cloud and a splash of rain but it hasnt amounted to much and even tonight the rain will continue moving east. As soon as it clears away, the weekend is shaping up to be decent weather. This has been todays area of glad. Various weak Weather Fronts, you can todays area of glad. Various weak weatherfronts, you can see todays area of glad. Various weak Weather Fronts, you can see that late evening sunshine disappearing, we could see a splash of rain of the athletics in london, overnight the breeze and clout and showers following when it wont be particularly cold for any of us, temperatures should hold into double figures in most areas. It could be a little great to start the weekend in the morning but it should be mostly dry and her bubbly more sunshine tomorrow and even more so on sunday. These are the weak Weather Fronts, wea k these are the weak Weather Fronts, weak because a High Pressure is easing those showers and Weather Fronts away over the picture would be altogether dry. It could be grey and stamp in southern areas, showers following with a north westerly breeze, this is not the warmest direction so temperatures wont get much higher, they will be lower around the moray firth and before, with a peppering of showers for the highlands and across the cumbrian fells and the norfolk broads, Into Snowdonia for example, and one or two further south, in the morning we keep greyish weather but gradually the cloud will lift and therefore the cloud will lift and therefore the skies will brighten eventually when the Sun John The Skies will brighten eventually when the Sunjohn Brake Suet will feel warmer than today, not in the south east where we had 2a degrees earlier, not a warm wind direction, as we mentioned that through the afternoon into the Evening Showers will tend to ease and the temperatures will rise into late afternoon, 19 20, its looking good for the athletics on saturday if you are lucky enough to be going. Saturday night to sunday will be quite chilly, the sky is clear, good for viewing the Meteor Shower of course but it will be chilly with close to frost levels across the cross of scotland, some mist and fog, otherwise sunday looks decent, its late in the day that the rain comes across Northern Ireland and the west of wales, it will be much more settled as we begin the new week.
