in sydney where there is of course bitter disappointment for a nation that embraced their team. shaimaa, that was a real roller—coaster for all involved? my my god, you know, before that game, there were tears. there were screams, they were chanting the matildas' name, and all through the game, those cheers every time the matildas attempted a press or a goal that was thwarted by england's defence. and of course that beautiful goal from sam defence. and of course that beautiful goalfrom sam kerr, the crowd was wild. then of course it was england that dominated this game, and ended it 3—1. heartbreak for the hosts. this is not the night they were hoping for, but it is a historic night. the lionesses have booked their place for the first ever world cup final. we have talked so much about this tournament being a tournament of upsets, of surprises. the former world cup

champions have all been eliminated and whoever is going to win that final is going to etch a new name on that trophy. the lionesses are one step closer to that. this is what they were hoping for. they weren't they were hoping for. they weren't the most fluid when that tournament started, but they have picked themselves up and delivered a victory that so many of their fans wanted. there were england fans here that knew they were outnumbered in the stadium and the fan zone, and with every goal, every attack, every shot, you saw them come up to their feet, knowing that they are small in numbers, but they did make themselves heard. there were so many disappointed people. there will be millions of disappointed australians, from the england fans i spoke to, many of them are going to go home and they are going to celebrate. go home and they are going to celebrate-— go home and they are going to celebrate. . ., , , , ., . celebrate. magnanimous reply from an australian friend _ celebrate. magnanimous reply from an australian friend of _ celebrate. magnanimous reply from an australian friend of mine _ celebrate. magnanimous reply from an australian friend of mine saying - australian friend of mine saying they were outclassed. a very nice reply, but how do you think australia will recover? i reply, but how do you think australia will recover? i think that

and more humid, especially by night. for the rest of this afternoon, we will keep the sunshine for most areas. i wouldn't rule out a shower, but they are more likely across northern areas of scotland, possibly heavy in places. it is cloudier here and temperatures will be lower. elsewhere creeping into the low to mid 20s, 26 celsius possible in south—east england. overnight tonight, any showers will fade away to leave us with a dry night, long, clear spells. some mist, murk, low cloud gathering toward central areas, perhaps into tomorrow morning. it is a mild start to the day on thursday yet again. on thursday any mist and murk will gradually lift and clear through the morning, burned back by the sunshine. we draw in a south—easterly wind, bringing humid air this way from the near—continent. highest areas perhaps for the western areas of wales, those temperatures lower towards north sea facing coast with the onshore breeze. we are expecting the mid 20s for many spots.

on friday we look out towards the atlantic where we have got a deep area of low pressure. it will pull in all of these weather fronts, merging together at times, to form longer spells of rain. there will be some heavy and thundery downpours, windy conditions too, across northern areas of wales. we do keep that mild, very muggy feeling air, and temperatures pretty much across the board will be in the low 20s in celsius. it stays dry in northern scotland until we get to friday night into saturday. then that system clears into scandinavia. so some rain on saturday morning for northern areas. elsewhere it should be largely dry with showers feeding into the west perhaps as we go through the afternoon. it will feel fresher on saturday, but the air is still warm, temperatures in the low to the mid 20s once more. here is the outlook for our capital cities. as we head through the weekend into next week, dry and warm in the south—east, still warm, but more showery in the north and west.
