on the BBC News Channel. I'll be back with the late news at 10pm.

:00:00.:00:00.

Now, back with the late news at 10pm.

:00:00.:00:08.

Good evening. Yorkshire's archery gold medallist Danielle Brown has

:00:09.:00:11.

said she's now accepted defeat in her bid to compete in Rio

:00:12.:00:15.

Paralympics. The 26`year`old from Steeton near Keighley won't defend

:00:16.:00:18.

her title after being told her disability doesn't impact enough on

:00:19.:00:22.

her ability to compete. Joe Inwood reports.

:00:23.:00:27.

For seven years, she's been one of the world's best disabled archers.

:00:28.:00:31.

In the London Games, Danielle Brown took gold. But then last year the

:00:32.:00:34.

International Paralympic Committee decided her condition, chronic pain

:00:35.:00:37.

syndrome, didn't affect her ability to shoot. And that she could not

:00:38.:00:44.

defend her title. I poured my heart and soul into this sport. I've

:00:45.:00:50.

worked so hard. It was just a complete shock to learn I got

:00:51.:00:53.

declassified, I'd not got funding. What am I supposed to do now? Her

:00:54.:00:57.

first course of action? Appeal. After that was rejected, she's

:00:58.:01:02.

decided to call it a day. I'm probably not going to fight it any

:01:03.:01:06.

further. I've got a really exciting future to look forward to. I have

:01:07.:01:10.

had a brilliant past, I've achieved so many things. But what I think's

:01:11.:01:14.

really disappointing is the other people who won't get the

:01:15.:01:17.

opportunities that I will because, unfortunately, invisible

:01:18.:01:19.

disabilities are the ones they seem to be targeting. The governing

:01:20.:01:26.

bodies reject that saying the rules need to be tightened. As for

:01:27.:01:30.

Danielle's future, she is turning her expert aim on helping the next

:01:31.:01:36.

generation. I've learned so much. I spent seven years being the best in

:01:37.:01:40.

the world. That's amazing. You want to help in sport. Grassroots

:01:41.:01:45.

athletes, helping them get on the podium. While her competing days may

:01:46.:01:50.

be numbered, Danielle Brown is not without targets in her sites.

:01:51.:01:58.

There's more on that story on Saturday Sportsday on BBC One

:01:59.:02:03.

tomorrow at 12:45pm. A body found in the River Ouse in

:02:04.:02:07.

York has been identified as missing soldier Tyler Pearson. The

:02:08.:02:10.

18`year`old is thought to have tried to swim across the river a fortnight

:02:11.:02:13.

ago. His family are being supported by specialist police officers and

:02:14.:02:16.

the army. A driver's been treated for serious

:02:17.:02:19.

injuries after two lorries collided on the M1 in North Derbyshire. The

:02:20.:02:23.

motorway was closed for nine hours between junction 29 and 28 following

:02:24.:02:26.

the crash. It has now full re`opened.

:02:27.:02:30.

Onto this afternoon's football. There was a good win for Sheffield

:02:31.:02:33.

Wednesday who beat Bournemouth 4`2. Huddersfield drew 1`1 with Brighton.

:02:34.:02:38.

Doncaster are in action tonight. Rotherham's slim hopes of automatic

:02:39.:02:41.

promotion from League One are over after their 6`4 defeat at Wolves.

:02:42.:02:46.

Bradford and Sheffield United play this evening.

:02:47.:02:50.

In League Two, Chesterfield drew 1`1 with Exeter. And York City's playoff

:02:51.:02:54.

hopes were given a real boost with their 1`0 win at Oxford.

:02:55.:02:57.

We'll have the pick of the action on our late bulletin at a 10:15pm and a

:02:58.:03:01.

full round`up of the goals at tea`time tomorrow.

:03:02.:03:04.

Onto Super League. Castleford beat Wakefield 43`20.

:03:05.:03:08.

Boxing now and it's been announced that Doncaster boxer Jamie McDonnell

:03:09.:03:12.

will fight for a world title next month. It will be the biggest night

:03:13.:03:18.

of the 28`year`old's career. The fighter will face the Thai champion

:03:19.:03:21.

before the Carl Froch super`fight at Wembley Stadium on the 31st of May.

:03:22.:03:28.

A North Yorkshire farmer who was hoping for some rest after a busy

:03:29.:03:32.

lambing season has been given a real surprise with his latest arrival. A

:03:33.:03:35.

camel! Andrew Henshaw who runs Mainsgill Farm Shop near Richmond

:03:36.:03:38.

wasn't expecting the calf, because his two adult camels are both girls.

:03:39.:03:42.

Cathy Killick explains. We all know camels have a hump.

:03:43.:03:46.

Turns out this one, Doris, also had a bump. Early yesterday, this little

:03:47.:03:52.

fella was the result. It's beginning to look like a camel now. Bemused

:03:53.:03:55.

farmer, Andrew Henshaw, had no idea Doris was pregnant. Neither did his

:03:56.:04:01.

stockman, Bob Shaw. Bob comes running across the yard. I thought,

:04:02.:04:04.

crikey, he's keen for a cup of coffee this morning. Lo and behold,

:04:05.:04:07.

Doris, the camel here, she's having a baby! So, an unplanned pregnancy.

:04:08.:04:14.

Not a male on the farm. We have Doris and Delilah, sisters. And

:04:15.:04:18.

can't get over it. With no male camels for miles around, could we be

:04:19.:04:22.

looking at a miracle baby? Well, it seems not. Doris must have been

:04:23.:04:26.

pregnant when Andrew bought her over a year ago. The male calf looks fine

:04:27.:04:31.

and dandy but was given a little boost to help him through the first

:04:32.:04:35.

few hours of his life. A little bit of skin that makes it look as if he

:04:36.:04:40.

has a runny nose is actually part of the sac that they are born. It is

:04:41.:04:44.

connected to the feet and nose. All the camels are the same. And it

:04:45.:04:48.

hasn't fallen off yet. But it would hurt if we pulled it off. So it will

:04:49.:04:52.

have to come off naturally. Within hours of his birth, the new addition

:04:53.:04:56.

is rather wobbly and knock kneed, but is making good progress with a

:04:57.:05:00.

bit of help from Bob. The farm is running a competition to name the

:05:01.:05:04.

baby. And the other animals are all taking a keen interest. Even if the

:05:05.:05:07.

arrival has stolen the limelight. Spring lambs are usually the feature

:05:08.:05:08.

here. Not spring camels. It's Easter, we had to have

:05:09.:05:20.

something fluffy! Let's the Easter Weekend weather

:05:21.:05:24.

from Hannah Bayburn. It has been a glorious Good Friday,

:05:25.:05:28.

a little bit more sunshine to come, and then it stays dry and clear,

:05:29.:05:34.

which allows it to get cold. Temperatures at freezing in the Vale

:05:35.:05:38.

of York by dawn. First thing tomorrow, sunshine returns, a lovely

:05:39.:05:41.

day to come, particularly to the West. Top temperatures around 12.

:05:42.:05:50.

Just an isolated shower. A change in the weather on Easter Sunday, the

:05:51.:05:55.

risk of rainfall pushing up from the south.

:05:56.:05:59.

Enjoy this glorious evening, we will see you at 10:15pm. Goodbye.

:06:00.:06:10.

Today we have seen temperatures rising if Scotland but again

:06:11.:06:15.

tonight, with the clear skies and light wind temperatures will fall

:06:16.:06:19.

sharply, and for many of us, we are looking at a touch of frost. The

:06:20.:06:23.

satellite picture tells a story nicely. This belt of cloud is

:06:24.:06:26.

sitting in the far north-west of Scotland, we have had this cloud

:06:27.:06:31.

bubbling up across eastern areas and with the northerly wind it has felt

:06:32.:06:34.

cold in East Anglia. That cloud is going to melt away, we will get an

:06:35.:06:37.

easterly breeze picking the cloud back in again later in the night in

:06:38.:06:40.

eastern areas and we still have this cloud and rain in the far north-west

:06:41.:06:44.

of Scotland, but for most we will have clear sky, light wind, Ness are

:06:45.:06:48.

the temperatures in towns and city, spin it

:06:49.:06:49.
