iam i am having this, like having to fight for equal pay for working conditions in moving forward ever again and it feels really good and i hope that will soon be the case for all of the players around the world on the international level. soccer has done a greatjob supporting us and that's not the case with all the other federations and we know that. nottingham forest from manchester united, five year deal, the 21—year—old has been united since he was 12 and made 55 appearances for the red devils. from manchester united on a five—year deal. the 21 year old has been at united since he was 12 and made 55 appearances for the red devils having made his first team debut in 2021. he becomes forest's second signing of the summer. across town manchester city have definitely not parted ways with kyle walker despite interest in the england international defender. city who won the treble last season, culminating

to 48 hours. the heat lasts a bit longer in greece, but even here, it will be cooler by the end of the weekend, not as windy either. some northern parts of europe have been seeing severe storms. here in the uk our weather continues to come in from the atlantic. and that cloud that we saw there is going to bring some rain into western areas on wednesday, further east, maybe a little bit warmer than it was on tuesday. but it will be a chilly start where we have the clearer skies — three degrees in scotland, six or seven across some southern parts of england and wales, in between, not quite so cold. first thing because there'll be more cloud showers left over from overnight. most of the showers on wednesday will be across northern england, perhaps southern scotland, not as widespread as we saw today. there will be some sunshine, but itjust

cloud over from the west. rain in northern ireland by lunchtime over the irish sea into wales and the south—west of england during the afternoon. that'll keep the temperatures a bit lower. but ahead of that with some sunshine for a while across scotland, eastern england, temperatures should be a bit higher than what we had on tuesday. now, this weather front will take that rain eastwards on wednesday night. it means a lot warmer night, actually, but it means quite a cloudy start to thursday and a bit misty and murky as well. could hang on to the rain from overnight across northern scotland. it may well linger through the english channel, but elsewhere, as it slowly brightens up and we see a little bit of sunshine that could trigger a few more sharp showers through the day. there will be a lot of cloud around it. it'll feel quite muggy, actually. a warmer day for western areas and again, in the east, temperatures about 23 degrees. quick look ahead to friday, still the chance of showers around, maybe not quite so many. quite a bit of hair in there as well.

and those temperatures, not really. king at 23, perhaps 2a in eastern areas, maybe a bit cooler for western scotland and northern ireland, certainly cooling off then across southern parts of europe. but what about here in the uk? our weather is not changing too much, still dominated by low pressure as we head into the weekend with the wetter weather across northern parts of the uk.
