Runway may have standing water: certainly very wet, and might even be classed as "contaminated". Aquaplaning quite likely. Touchdown position looks reasonable enough, but full reverse selected very late. Hard to see what flap has been used for the landing. Also hard to judge the speed, but it looks higher than normal (bearing in mind the A310 is not a small a/c). No windsock visible to assess W/V.
