Morning, everyone!

0:00:050:00:06

Leah here, with all the latest from Team GB's best day

0:00:060:00:10

at Rio so far.

0:00:100:00:11

Coming up:

0:00:110:00:14

It's Gold for Great Britain.

0:00:140:00:15

The boys are in tears!

0:00:150:00:17

A gold rush for Team GB - first, in the diving.

0:00:170:00:22

Another gold in the kayak slalom.

0:00:220:00:26

And three bronze medals, including one for Max Whitlock

0:00:260:00:28

in the gymnastics.

0:00:280:00:31

It was a massive day for Team GB in Rio yesterday,

0:00:390:00:42

with a total of five medals won, including two gold medals.

0:00:420:00:47

Ricky's sent us this round-up of all the action,

0:00:470:00:51

on what was a 'Wonderful Wednesday' for British Olympic athletes.

0:00:510:00:56

Was the pool turning green a stroke of good luck for Great Britain?

0:00:560:01:00

Well, it seemed to do the job for Chris Mears and Jack Laugher,

0:01:000:01:03

as they won Great Britain's first Gold in diving.

0:01:030:01:09

And they weren't the only ones.

0:01:090:01:10

There was plenty of success on Day Five here at the Olympics,

0:01:100:01:13

on one of the most successful days of the Olympics so far.

0:01:130:01:16

What a moment for Chris and Jack, as they claimed the diving

0:01:160:01:19

title with the men's synchronised 3-metre springboard.

0:01:190:01:21

Yes!

0:01:210:01:22

People are going to be talking about this moment for years to come.

0:01:220:01:25

How do you feel?

0:01:250:01:26

It's just unbelievable!

0:01:260:01:27

What we've done today, it's incredible.

0:01:270:01:36

You said you'd have settled for Silver.

0:01:360:01:38

Are you totally thinking now, forget that?

0:01:380:01:39

Yeah, on our last dive, I knew...

0:01:390:01:41

I was following our scores all the way through.

0:01:410:01:43

Not, like, I wasn't concentrating on it loads, but I knew

0:01:430:01:46

where we were and I knew that we'd done very well.

0:01:460:01:49

We were sat on poolside just waiting for the Chinese to go and I looked

0:01:490:01:52

at Chris and I was like, oh, yeah, we'd settle for Silver.

0:01:520:01:55

I was like, a Silver medal at the Olympic Games,

0:01:550:01:58

that is unbelievable if you get a silver medal at the Olympic Games!

0:01:580:02:01

And then to see the Chinese not quite do it and we grasped that

0:02:010:02:04

Gold, that is the most ridiculous moment in my entire sporting career.

0:02:040:02:07

Joe Clarke, who's 23, won the men's kayak single Gold.

0:02:070:02:09

He's been canoeing since he was 11 years old.

0:02:090:02:12

From Golds to loads of Bronze medals too, as Team GB start

0:02:120:02:15

to climb that medal table.

0:02:150:02:16

Yes, four Bronze medals.

0:02:160:02:22

Max Whitlock won GB's first all-round gymnastics Olympic medal

0:02:220:02:24

in 108 years, as he took Bronze.

0:02:240:02:32

Chris Froome also took Bronze in the Olympic men's

0:02:320:02:34

individual time trial.

0:02:340:02:35

Just to be here and to have medalled again, it's just been

0:02:350:02:38

an amazing experience.

0:02:380:02:39

Absolutely amazing experience.

0:02:390:02:40

I'll definitely look back on this in a few years' time

0:02:400:02:42

and be pretty happy.

0:02:420:02:47

Another Bronze - this time, in shooting.

0:02:470:02:49

Steven Scott got a perfect score of 30 for GB.

0:02:490:02:54

And Sally Conway, just look at that face, she was beaming with her judo

0:02:540:02:58

Bronze medal.

0:02:580:02:59

So there you have it - Wonderful Wednesday.

0:02:590:03:01

Although the weather's been a bit miserable today,

0:03:010:03:03

all of these medals have given us lots to smile about on Day Five.

0:03:030:03:08

Thanks, Ricky.

0:03:080:03:09

Inspiring stuff.

0:03:090:03:10

Well, we want you to tell us what Olympic sport

0:03:100:03:12

you would love to do and why.

0:03:120:03:14

Head online to let us know.

0:03:140:03:18

And from sports stars to the ones in the sky,

0:03:180:03:21

there's something quite amazing happening tonight.

0:03:210:03:24

The Perseid meteor shower is described as a fantastic,

0:03:240:03:26

natural fireworks display, with up to 200 meteors shooting

0:03:260:03:28

through the sky per hour.

0:03:280:03:33

But will the weather be good enough to see it all clearly?

0:03:330:03:36

The BBC's Tomasz Schafernaker has the details.

0:03:360:03:40

It's that time of the year where we're in for an astronomical

0:03:420:03:45

spectacle, the Perseid meteor shower.

0:03:450:03:48

The Earth is going to go through a trail left over

0:03:480:03:51

by a comet, a meteor trail.

0:03:510:03:53

It will peak at around the 12th of August.

0:03:530:03:56

And the best time is between 11pm and 4am.

0:03:560:03:59

The weather is absolutely crucial.

0:03:590:04:02

It looks as though the southern half of the UK will have clear

0:04:020:04:05

spells most of this week.

0:04:050:04:07

But the north is going to be a little bit more tricky,

0:04:070:04:10

with weather fronts coming again off the Atlantic.

0:04:100:04:16

with weather fronts coming in off the Atlantic.

0:04:160:04:18

That means there will be a bit more cloud around

0:04:180:04:20

and maybe a bit of rainfall.

0:04:200:04:21

But overall, wherever you are in the UK this week,

0:04:210:04:24

there's certainly going to be at least one or two evenings

0:04:240:04:27

of catching a glimpse of those meteor showers.

0:04:270:04:28

And head online to find out what causes the Perseid meteor

0:04:280:04:31

shower, and even some top tips on how to watch it

0:04:310:04:34

happen in the night sky.

0:04:340:04:39

He's the world record-breaking signing for Manchester United.

0:04:390:04:41

French player Paul Pogba's ?89 million transfer this week

0:04:410:04:43

meant his name was on everyone's lips, but who exactly is he?

0:04:430:04:47

Here's Martin, with five things you need to know

0:04:470:04:49

about this famous footballer.

0:04:490:04:51

P

0:04:590:04:59

P is

0:04:590:05:00

P is for

0:05:000:05:00

P is for pricey.

0:05:000:05:01

Pogba is now the most expensive player in the world,

0:05:010:05:04

after moving to Manchester United for a cool ?89 million.

0:05:040:05:06

He's also a pretty powerful player.

0:05:060:05:08

O is for octopus.

0:05:080:05:11

When he played in Italy, he was nicknamed 'Il Polpo Paul',

0:05:110:05:13

which means 'The Octopus'.

0:05:130:05:15

It's because he has long, strong legs like tentacles.

0:05:150:05:19

G is for golden boy.

0:05:190:05:25

He was given an award for the best under-21 player in Europe in 2013.

0:05:250:05:29

It's also for goals.

0:05:290:05:30

The nifty midfielder scored 34 for Italian giants Juventus.

0:05:300:05:35

B is for brothers.

0:05:350:05:36

Pogba has two footballing brothers.

0:05:360:05:39

One plays for French side Saint-Etienne and the other plays

0:05:390:05:41

for Scottish club Partick Thistle.

0:05:410:05:46

A is for advice.

0:05:460:05:47

He listened to his mum, who said it was his destiny

0:05:470:05:49

to return to Man United after he left in 2012.

0:05:490:05:56

That's all from me.
