i think i'd love to do that in the paris olympics. did you ever think you would be heading into what will be your final olympic games, already placed as britain's most successful ever gymnast? never. but going for my final olympic games, feels very, very strange talking about it. and it's almost hard to articulate what it's like. i'm trying to get my words out in the right way, because it's still fresh, i suppose. i think it's a really nice mindset to be in. i think i'lljust give it all i've got. time for a look at the weather. here's darren bett. there is more rain around but it is going to get warmer. but the rain will not go away entirely and the rainfall we had this month at edinburgh botanic gardens is

noteworthy, 81 millimetres so far. it may not sound much but more than twice of the april average and we arejust ten days twice of the april average and we are just ten days in and twice of the april average and we arejust ten days in and it twice of the april average and we are just ten days in and it follows on from the wettest march in this part of scotland on record. more rain today coming in from the atlantic. but the wind direction is changing to south—westerly and that brings this warmer air. there will be a lot of cloud around today. the heaviest rain will be over the hills of western scotland. temperatures up to 14 of western scotland. temperatures up to 1a degrees because there is some cloud around but it is warmer air and glad that second band of rain moving south—east overnight. at the same time the rain becomes light and patchy and then some clearer skies. but we still have a south—westerly breeze so that is warmer air and will be warmer than last night. we have temperatures in double figures and some sunshine on the way tomorrow. a bit cloudy across

southern parts of england and wales with some spots of rain. some early rain clearing away from the far north of scotland. but with the sunshine is a lot warmer than today. temperatures peaking at around 1920 degrees in east anglia and across lincolnshire. there is a weather front hanging around to the south—west bringing some cloud and patchy rain north again as we head into friday. some rain for northern ireland and moving it to scotland as well and even the far north of england. but further south the crowd breaking and some sunshine coming through. so comparing the temperatures on friday for the average for the time of year, 20 degrees here and the average of the time of year is around 1a. it will also be a lot warmer than normal in aberdeen where we will miss most of that rain. so the warm weather is not going to last because the wind

direction changes again over the weekend. and cooler air starts to move south, pressure dropping as well and with low pressure we have a chance of rain moving down from the north—west. it should stay dry across south—eastern parts of the uk for the weekend but again temperatures dropping. further north and west and increased chance of showers as the weekend goes on. thanks, darren. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. now it's time to join our colleagues for the news where you are — goodbye. hello and welcome to sportsday this wednesday lunchtime with me chetan pathak, coming up on the programme... in a break with tradition — world athletics says it'll become the first international federation to award prize money at the olympic games. calling time on her england career — euro 2022 winner rachel daly retires

from international football. and the champions league continues after a thrilling start to the quarterfinals... with nothing to separate manchester city and real madid after their first leg in spain. thank you forjoining us. as you've been hearing on bbc news, athletics will become the first sport to introduce prize money at the olympics in paris this summer. the governing body, world athletics, is breaking 128 years of olympic tradition, becoming the first international sport to give athletes money for winning gold at the games. around 40,000 pounds, will be the prize for those that win on the track orfield in paris.

at los angeles in 2028. it's in contrast to the international olympic committee , which does not award prize money. world athletics president sebastian coe has called the decision a "pivotal moment:" this is just this isjust a recognition this is just a recognition that the athletes are the stars of the show. we increase the prize money in our own championships a few years ago, and ijust wanted the athletes own championships a few years ago, and i just wanted the athletes to recognise that we don't sit here her majesty technically sealed assuming their performance as an olympic games doesn't have a, you know, a beneficiary knock on, for the growth of our own sport. thoughts there of lord coe. more reaction to that story on more reaction to that story on the bbc sport website. next on the programme. england and aston villa forward rachel daly has retired from international football. the 32—year—old, who has 84 caps, started all of england's games at euro 2022 when they won their first major trophy.

she came on as a late substitute in last night's 2—0 euro 2025 qualifying win over the republic of ireland in dublin, in what turned out to be her final appearance for her country. in a statement released on social media, daly says, "i would love nothing more than to play for england forever, but the time has come for me to hang my boots up pn the international stage. while today is an extremely difficult day for me, it is also one filled with reflection and immense gratitude. playing for and representing england has been a privilege." paying tribute, england manager sarina wiegman, who capped daly on 46 occasions for the lionesses, said... tara jones will make history this weekend when she becomes the first woman to referee a senior professional rugby league fixture in the northern hemisphere. jones also plays for st helens

and england women, and scored the opening try in the first women's challenge cup final at wembley last august. she's referreed in the challenge cup already this season and will take charge of the league one fixture between oldham and cornwall at boundary park on sunday. a big week of europan football continues. it all started with a bang last night, thanks to two cracking champions league quarter final first legs. the holders manchester city playing out a 3—all draw at real madrid whilst arsenal and bayern munich finished two a piece in north london, meaning things are fascinatingly poised going into next week's second legs. one week in manchester our people will be sold out. they will help us to score one goal, we will do the rest and try again to reach the semifinal, it is simple. the team who wins will reach we have given things they have to earn it_ we have given things they have to earn it and —

we have given things they have to earn it and you have to, they have a huge _ earn it and you have to, they have a huge capacity, but after, i think we reacted _ huge capacity, but after, i think we reacted well and we never gave up, thank— reacted well and we never gave up, thank you _ reacted well and we never gave up, thank you to the crowd again for the atmosphere, it was unbelievable and we will_ atmosphere, it was unbelievable and we will go _ former arsenal player, now presenter and pundit adrian clarke joins us now. us start with city. pep guardiola said they adapted quickly to the chaos, what do you make of that city performance? i chaos, what do you make of that city performance?— performance? i think they have to see it as a — performance? i think they have to see it as a good _ performance? i think they have to see it as a good result. _ performance? i think they have to see it as a good result. no - performance? i think they have to see it as a good result. no kevin i see it as a good result. no kevin dibroken, no kyle walker, his recovery pace was a big miss for them, you could see that with real madrid's second goal. they will take the draw at half—time and expect to get the job the draw at half—time and expect to get thejob done the draw at half—time and expect to get the job done at the etihad where they annihilated real madrid last time, so they are in pole position,

no question about that, what i will say, is that if you look at owl of the goals city tend to concede, almost all from the counter they have quick forwards, real madrid, so, if real madrid can be compact and defend well, they certainly is the tools to hurt city on the break, but i think ep's side are where they want to be. we know the dangers they pose but you mentioned it, there we saw what happened to real last season, city overwhelming favourites notjust happened to real last season, city overwhelming favourites not just to reach the semifinals but to win it, is that fair? i reach the semifinals but to win it, is that fair?— is that fair? i think so, yeah, you look at the _ is that fair? i think so, yeah, you look at the other _ is that fair? i think so, yeah, you look at the other side _ is that fair? i think so, yeah, you look at the other side of - is that fair? i think so, yeah, you look at the other side of the - is that fair? i think so, yeah, you | look at the other side of the draw and it feels like the teams in that side are more fragile, they have more obvious weakness, think that city, real madrid, bayern munich is the strongest half, and city are obviously in the best position of all the four teams to make it at the moment, so look, there is is a long way to go and i think we are in for

two cracking turn legs, but yeah, i would favour, i have to say, manchester city from this point. what a goal from manchester city from this point. what a goalfrom phil foden. you what a goal from phil foden. you don't sound _ what a goal from phil foden. you don't sound happy predicting city winning it. shall we move on to arsenal in terms of how they got on, it wasn't a 5—1 defeet. that 2—2 draw. it is so tight and intriguingly poised going into the seconds leg. have arsenal missed their chance or not?— seconds leg. have arsenal missed their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i their chance or not? maybe, i hope not- i hepe — their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i hope not. _ their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i hope not. i— their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i hope not. i did _ their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i hope not. i did expect - their chance or not? maybe, i hope not. i hope not. i did expect theml not. i hope not. i did expect them to win in the game. i think bayern munich exceeded expectations, i thought they played a good game with and without the ball, and arsenal were maybe a bit below they capability, they played the occasion more than the game itself, but they are very much in it. arsenal's away record is stunning as we know. what they will have to do is be more compact, they can't afford to let

the wingers sane have as much space to run—in to. i don't think they will. bayern munich will be on the front foot, they will look to pin arsenal into their own half. it might suit teats side to play away, soak up a bit of pressure like they did at manchester city in the league, and go and head bayern munich on the break, that is where bayern munich have beens is settable, so i think this tie very much alive, genuinely, i think we are looking at a 50—50 situation here, because bayern munich aren't great defensively, arsenal certainly have the capability to go there and get a result in my opinion. harry kane will want to do everything he can to stop them no doubt. we will leave it there, look forward to next week. thank you for joining us. forward to next week. thank you for “oininu us. ~ , there are two more fascinating quarter final first legs to come tonight, atletico, hoping to reach the semi—finals for the first time

since 2017, face borussia dortmund who are currently fifth in the bundesliga whilst in paris, psg — desperate to win this trophy for the first time in their history — take on five—time champions barcelona. luis enrique up against xavi. both of those kick off at eight o'clock. this time tomorrow golf�*s first major of the year — the masters at augusta national will be under way. among the many storylines is the familar one... that of rory mcilory... trying to win his first green jacket and complete a career grand slam having won the three other majors. tiger woods is backing him to finally win the masters and mcilroy�*s happy for the shoutout. it's flattering, it's really — it's nice to hear... ..in my opinion, the best player ever to play the game, say something like that. so, you know, he's been around the game long enough to know that i at least have the potential to do it. and, i mean, i know i've got the potential to do it, too — it's not as if i haven't been a pretty good player for the last couple of decades, so... but, yeah, it's nice to hear it when it comes out of his mouth. as for tiger woods —

he's not giving up on his own chances of glory at the masters. he's barely played competitive golf since having ankle surgery last april but believes he's still capable of winning a sixth greenjacket and 16th major if everything comes together at augusta this week. our practice sessions certainly aren't what they used to be. i used to live on the range or live on a short—game facility and just be out there all day. that's no longer the case. and so ijust have to be more focused on when i do get a chance to go out there and practise. and if everything comes together, i think i can get one more. do i need to describe that any more than that, or are we good? you can get all the latest sports news at from the bbc sport app, orfrom our website — that's bbc.co.uk/sport. from me and the rest of the team at the bbc sport centre, goodbye. thanks to chetan and the sports team in salford. you're watching bbc news. i'm nicky schiller.

let's get more on our top story this lunchtime. rishi sunak has welcomed a report on children's gender care in england, which said young people had been let down by a lack of research. the landmark review found that medical intervention such as the use of puberty blockers had been based on weak evidence, with health professionals afraid to air their views because debate around the issue had become toxic. the report's author, dr hilary cass, said gender services needed to operate to the same high standards as other parts of the nhs. well, i think it is very important to be concerned about a group of children and young people who are not getting the services that they need and they deserve, in order to thrive and be well as they grow into adults. so i, of course, would hope that considerable note is taken of this report. earlier i spoke to our health editor hugh pym, and the observer's chief

lead writer sonia sodha, to help unpack what's in this report. well, it's a very, very comprehensive report. more than 300 pages. and remember, this review work goes right back to 2020. and dr hilary cass�* interim report in 2022 questioned the use of puberty blockers at the tavistock and portman trust, which provided gender services. and that led to a series of events, including an inspection by the regulator, the coc, which found the service to be inadequate. and then last month nhs england said puberty blockers would no longer be routinely prescribed, and the service at the tavistock and portman was brought to an end with two new clinics being set up. so this is a long—running and much debated issue. i think the things that stand out for me is the fact in herforward to the report, dr cass is saying directly,
