be said elsewhere. amid mounting concern over the threat of illness due to pollution, seven national governing bodies of water—based sports, including sailing, swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, rowing and angling have now formed an alliance to demand clean, open water across the uk on behalf of a combined 450,000 members. they're worried about if their children are going to get sick, if they're going to get sick. 0ur athletes are concerned when they go out training, are they going to get poorly doing the thing that they love? so yeah, we're hearing it every day now. there's a lot of rivers that are under real threat from sewage discharge, and that puts our members and our community under direct health threat. a government spokesperson said sewage pollution in our waters is unacceptable, which is why we have taken action to ban water bosses�* bonuses when criminal breaches have occurred, quadrupled company inspections next year, provided more funding to our water regulators and fast—tracked investment to cut spills. 100% of overflows are now being monitored, and if water companies are found to breach their permits, action will be taken. meanwhile, industry group water uk said sewage spill levels remained unacceptable, but water companies in england had proposed £10 billion to reduce them by nearly 40% by 2030. many will hope that this

unprecedented coming together last month's boat race was overshadowed by concerns over sewage levels in the thames with high levels of e.coli detected. and, at this summer's paris 0lympics, organisers may have to postpone or even cancel the swimming leg of the triathlon if pollution levels in the river seine don't improve. we wa nt we want to influence the water companies to make sure everyone who has a voice in leadership role or has a part to play in this, if they have not stepped up, they must because this is the time. up, they must because this is the time-— the time. even the biggest sorts the time. even the biggest sports events _ the time. even the biggest sports events are - the time. even the biggest sports events are not - the time. even the biggest. sports events are not immune the time. even the biggest - sports events are not immune to such.

yes, but also a chance of catching some rain. now, weather fronts are close by — you can see it here on the satellite picture — and that also means some damp weather through the early hours and into wednesday morning, particularly around the irish sea coasts and also around the north sea coasts. but for most of us, it's a dry start to the day, a little misty and murky in places. here are the temperatures first thing — around 9 in london, 8 in belfast maybe, the glens of scotland around 11—5 celsius. now, many of us will wake up to some sunshine, maybe hazy skies in places. and i think it should stay generally dry through the day, although a few showers are possible inland in central parts of the uk, and also damp conditions at times are possible along the north sea coast where it'll be coolest. temperatures in newcastle, only 1a degrees — deeper inland it'll be closer to 18, perhaps 20. and then wednesday night we're expecting some heavy rain to come in from the south. this could be thundery rain and downpours are likely almost anywhere across southern england, perhaps into the midlands and also southern parts of wales,

and flashes of lightning certainly a possibility. so that's how we start thursday. then here's that weather front, which could bring the thundery weather for a time across some southern parts of the uk. now, the air�*s relatively warm — it's actually coming in out of the east—south—east. but because the north sea is quite cold, see that wind blowing off the north sea? it will actually drag in that cooler air to the north sea coasts. so that does mean that places like newcastle and hull could only be around, say, 13, 1a, 15, whereas out towards the west it could be as high as 20 degrees celsius. so that was thursday. this is friday, still a possibility of some showers brought in by that easterly breeze, maybe the odd crack of thunder as well. the best of the weather probably in western parts of scotland on friday. and in one or two spots

we could even see highs reaching 20 degrees celsius. the north sea coast, once again, will be fairly chilly. so that outlook then, yes, it is going to be a bit of a mixed bag. it's not going to be particularly cold — temperatures, in fact, closer to the average for the time of the year.
