16 years in a penal colony. sport now — and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's adam. hello from the bbc sport centre. still one or two players out on the course at royal troon as round two of golfs 152nd open championship draws to a close. it's been a tough day, with just 18 players shooting below par. 2019 champion shane lowry is amongst them, a two under par 69 makes him the clubhouse leader on seven under. two shots further back the leader after the opening round, daniel brown — as isjustin rose, who equalled the best round of the day to date with a three under par 68. but it's lowry out in front, and it's bringing back memories from port rush five years ago.

a lot of irish people out there. a lot of people to make her irish people out there, and scottish people out there, and scottish people out there that have my back. the support i've had today is incredible. cheered on every tv, evergreen, every fairway. and yes, it feels a little bit like that. but i try not to about it too much, you know, give myself a chance here on sunday, and i'll be very happy with myself. you know, myjob tomorrow is to put myself in a position to win this tournament on sunday. at the other end of the leaderboard is three—time open champion, tiger woods. after an opening round of 79, he improved slightly on day two with a 77 to finish 1a over. despite struggling, woods insists it hasn't lessened his desire to play more majors. i loved it, i've always loved playing _ i loved it, i've always loved playing major championships. ijust playing major championships. i just wish i _ playing major championships. i just wish i was — playing major championships. ijust wish i was more physically sharp coming — wish i was more physically sharp coming into the majors. it tests you

in his career — just three minutes shorter than his clash with novak djokovic in 2009. nadal will face croatia's duje ajdukovic in the last four before teaming up with casper ruud in the men's doubles semis. a third tour de france title is looking almost certain now for tadday pogarcher after once again extended his overall lead, winning stage nineteen. had a pogacar. the slovenian attacked in the alps with nine kilometres to go, making up almost three minutes to catch and pass stage leader matteojorgenson of the united states. pogacar�*s lead over defending championjonas vingergaard now stands at an imposing five minutes and three seconds with just two stages remaining. finally for now, kavem hodge was the star of the show, as the west indies dominated day two of the second test at trent bridge to trail england by 65 runs. hodge scored his maiden test century

in just his fourth match as the tourists ended the day 351 forfive, on a tough day in the field for england in hot conditions. he was supported by his fellow dominican alick athan—aze as the pair put on 175 for the fourth wicket. shoaib bashir picking up a couple of wickets for england. more on that and all our stories over on the bbc sport website, but that is all your sport for now. great stuff, thanks, adam. it was a speech in true donald trump style. his name up in gold lights, the former president accepted the republican nomination less than a week after surviving an assassination attempt. before he even took to the stage, the crowd at the republican national convention in milwaukee was whipped up into a frenzy. there was a performance from kid rock of his new song about donald trump. and then, there was this — from wwe hall of fame wrestler, hulk hogan.

and they tried to kill the next president of the united states! enough — president of the united states! enough was enough, and i said, let trump— enough was enough, and i said, let trunipa_ enough was enough, and i said, let trumpa mania enough was enough, and i said, let trump a mania run wild, brother! make _ trump a mania run wild, brother! make america great again! so, the stage was set for donald trump himself to close the convention. after accepting the nomination, he discussed his experience of surviving the assasination attempt last saturday, and briefly talked of unity in america and an end to political divisiveness. but quickly, he returned to his usual script. i'm not supposed to be here tonight, not supposed to be here. _ man: yes, you are! i stand before you in this arena - only by the grace of almighty god. cheering

i will end the illegal immigration crisis by closing our border- and finishing the wall. most of which i've already built. cheering what's better than that? we have to stop the invasion into our country that's killing hundreds of thousands a year. so, jubilation for donald trump and the republican party, but it's a very different feeling for those in the democratic party. whilejoe biden is still isolating at his delaware home with some mild covid symptoms, nine more democratic lawmakers havejoined the public calls for him to resign. among the latest flurry was zo loffgrun, a top democrat and close ally of nancy pelosi, who served on the house committee that investigated the january 6th attack. in a letter to the president, she said, "simply put, you are on a trajectory to lose." and then in the senate, new mexico senator martin heinrick

has also called forjoe biden to stand aside, calling for a new candidate who can "defeat donald trump and safeguard the future of our democracy." there are now more than 30 democrats on capitol hill publically calling forjoe biden to stand aside. and to add to that pressure, kamala harris, his vice president — and potential replacement at the top of the ticket — is reportedly meeting with democratic donors today. despite it all, he still says he will be back on the campaign trail on monday. joining me now isjohn zogby, senior pollster atjohn zogby strategies, and robert moran — former republican strategist, now a partner at brunswick group. hello to you both, thank you very much for coming on the programme. let's start if we can, robert, with you, just the reaction to donald trump, the convention, the speech, your assessment on where things stand now after that?— stand now after that? right, i actually thought _

like hell to get back.— like hell to get back. john, stickin: like hell to get back. john, sticking with _ like hell to get back. john, sticking with that - like hell to get back. john, sticking with that theme i like hell to get back. john, i sticking with that theme they like hell to get back. john, - sticking with that theme they are, what's the polling saying aboutjoe biden versus donald trump, and then any potential people to step in and replace joe any potential people to step in and replacejoe biden? any potential people to step in and replace joe biden?— replace joe biden? there were theories in _ replace joe biden? there were theories in polls _ replace joe biden? there were theories in polls taken - replace joe biden? there were theories in polls taken this - replace joe biden? there were i theories in polls taken this week showing donald trump leading joe biden by a couple points, leading, harassed by a couple of points — when additional names were placed against donald trump, names that in many instances americans are not familiar with — mark kelly, arizona senator, former astronaut, brand—new governor of maryland, wes moore, gretchen witmer, who's been talked about a lot, the governor of michigan — they did an average of five points better than biden and harris against trump. so in this milieu now, you got some fresh faces

the uk, this is bbc news.

this is bbc news. in russia, a court has found the us journalist evan gershkovich guilty of espionage and sentenced him to 16 years in prison. the 32—year old has been in detention since march last year — but his employer, the wall street journal, has called the case a sham. our russia editor steve rosenburg reports from the city of yekaterinburg, where the trial took place. the trial was behind closed doors. for the verdict, we were allowed in, but where was evan gershkovich? there, almost hidden from the cameras in the far corner of the glass cage that is the dock in a russian courtroom. he looked like he'd lost weight. thejudge found him guilty of spying and sentenced the wall streetjournal reporter to 16 years in a high—security

penal colony. whatjust happened in this courtroom is unprecedented in the history of modern russia — an american journalist convicted of espionage in a trial that was held behind closed doors, a trial that us officials have dismissed as a sham. in a joint statement, the wall streetjournal�*s publisher and editor in chief called it a "disgraceful sham conviction". they added... mr gershkovich was arrested at a steakhouse on a reporting assignment in yekaterinburg. he was accused of collecting secret data about a defence factory nearby. his employer has accused moscow of stockpiling american citizens in russian jails to trade them for russians jailed abroad. is a prisoner swap likely? it's happened before. in 2022, russia freed us basketball

star britney griner. she'd beenjailed on a drugs charge. in return, america released convicted russian arms dealer viktor bout. as soon as i win the election, i will have that reporter out. donald trump promises big, but the biden administration is already in discussion with moscow about evan gershkovich and other americans jailed in russia. it's unclear how close a deal is. what is clear is that an american reporter has been pronounced a spy without any evidence having been made public. someone cries, "we love you, evan!" all he can do now is wait. steve rosenberg, bbc news, yekaterinburg. joining me now is rebecca vincent — she's the director of campaigns for reporters without borders. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., ~ i., ., ., programme. thank you for having me, this verdict is — programme. thank you for having me, this verdict is outrageous _ programme. thank you for having me, this verdict is outrageous so _ programme. thank you for having me, this verdict is outrageous so we - programme. thank you for having me, this verdict is outrageous so we are . this verdict is outrageous so we are doing everything we can to campaign

— is that your understanding? it certainly appears so. we called this an example of russia's policy of state hostagetaking, and too often this is getting journalists caught up this is getting journalists caught up in the middle now, which has implications for all of us around the world about our right to freedom of information. the speed in which this trial took place, just under a month with three hearings, close to the public without any shred of evidence for what he's been accused of certainly suggests there is political move neutering here. we've been encouraged so far by the us's advocacy on this, but clearly more is needed to secure his safe passage home before anything further happens to him there. find home before anything further happens to him there-— to him there. and what can actually be done in persuading _ to him there. and what can actually be done in persuading russia - to him there. and what can actually be done in persuading russia to - be done in persuading russia to change course here? mei]! be done in persuading russia to change course here? well firstly, it shouldn't just _ change course here? well firstly, it shouldn'tjust be _ change course here? well firstly, it shouldn'tjust be the _ change course here? well firstly, it shouldn'tjust be the americans, i shouldn'tjust be the americans, there's been an international outcry and i think that's important because this is a flagrant breach of international law — the international law — the international community should be outraged in taking measures to raise this to the highest levels with russia and ensure that other

journalists are protected too. again, there's other cases even ongoing — evan is one of 42 journalists being detained in russia, there are other foreign nationals amongst them, including another american journalist. more nationals amongst them, including another americanjournalist. more is another american journalist. more is needed another americanjournalist. more is needed on behalf of all these cases, but evan has really emerged as an emblematic example not only of the press freedom situation in russia, but of russia present behaviour internationally and breaking the rules —based system. but internationally and breaking the rules -based system.— rules -based system. but from russia's point of— rules -based system. but from russia's point of view, - rules -based system. but from russia's point of view, if- rules -based system. but from russia's point of view, if the i russia's point of view, if the narrative that you've laid out is true, there doesn't seem to be a great incentive to change its pattern of behaviour at all. there need to be _ pattern of behaviour at all. there need to be more _ pattern of behaviour at all. there need to be more political- need to be more political consequences around the world. and again, notjust from the us — we've seen worrying increases by russia cut off its own population from independent news. we've seen a situation now where hundreds of russian journalists have gone into exile where the kremlin is blocking websites of interdependent news

organisations, and doing everything it can to cut off its population from accessing information about what's really happening in the country. that impacts all of us. so when we campaigned for cases like evan, which everybody should, we are also speaking out for the rights of russians and all of us around the world to access information. rebecca vincent, world to access information. rebecca vincent. thanks _ world to access information. rebecca vincent, thanks so _ world to access information. rebecca vincent, thanks so much _ world to access information. rebecca vincent, thanks so much for - world to access information. rebecca vincent, thanks so much for coming l vincent, thanks so much for coming on the programme. several people have been arrested following violent disorder last night in leeds, after social workers went to deal with a child protection issue in the harehills area of the city. a double—decker bus was set on fire and police were attacked by a large group throwing bricks and other objects, forcing them to withdraw. no—one was injured. from leeds, our uk editor ed thomas reports. police cars abandoned, smashed up. officers attacked and in retreat. a bus trashed and set on fire. this was harehills in leeds last night —

we are roma. all the government, all the uk, they think about our community, we're bad. but because what they did, what they did should not be. shame! police say several people have now been arrested. and last night, this was local councillor mothin ali... this is our neighbourhood! ..appealing for calm. today, he's hopeful this won't happen again. it is our community. anything bad that happens here happens to us. and we've got to make sure that we work together to try and resolve that. police are now reviewing social media video and cctv. they say more arrests will follow. ed thomas, bbc news, leeds. salma arif, a labour and co—operative councillor for gipton and harehills, joins me now. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., ~ i., ., ., programme. thank you for having me. so before we — programme. thank you for having me. so before we get _ programme. thank you for having me. so before we get onto _ programme. thank you for having me. so before we get onto it, _ programme. thank you for having me. so before we get onto it, what - so before we get onto it, what happened last night, can you bring

into the low 30s celsius, and look at this beautiful scene sent in by a weather watcher in dorset. there was quite a lot of sunshine in places. however, that wasn't the story everywhere. more cloud in the mix here in county down. northern ireland and parts of scotland have seen quite a lot of cloud in advance of this frontal system. this is going to be sweeping its way eastwards over the weekend, bringing some outbreaks of rain and bringing something cooler and fresher. but for the time being, pretty warm and humid through this evening and tonight. quite misty and murky for south—west england and for wales, and these outbreaks of rain spinning in across northern ireland and western scotland. overnight lows between 13—17, maybe around 18 degrees in some places. so we head into tomorrow, and these outbreaks of rain affecting northern ireland, western scotland and then some heavy rain spinning in across the south—west of england and wales. but for eastern scotland and eastern england, we will hold on to something drier and a little bit brighter. and staying pretty warm as well — 25—27 celsius. could see the odd sharp shower

breaking out across east anglia, other parts of eastern england, but through south—west england, wales, into north—west england, the isle of man, northern ireland, western scotland, we will see these outbreaks of rain, some of that rain on the heavy side. eastern scotland, say across aberdeenshire, likely to hold on to a bit more in the way of sunshine and temperatures into the low—20s celsius. now, as we head through saturday evening, we will see some of these heavy downpours pushing eastwards. we may see a few thunderstorms just clipping into the south—east corner, but all of that will sweep its way eastwards as we get into sunday, with a little temporary ridge of high pressure building in behind and some cooler, fresher air following from the atlantic. so a very different feel to the weather on sunday. some rain to start off across shetland, a residue of cloud across eastern england, then some spells of sunshine. but i think we will see a bit more cloud rolling its way in from the west through the day, perhaps giving 1—2 showers, but these temperatures north to south, 15—22 celsius. so certainly a cooler, fresher feel,

and for the most part, we will stick with that into next week. still feeling warm in any sunshine. it certainly won't be raining all the time, but there is some wet weather in the forecast. hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching

the context on bbc news. the boards don't really say anything, so it tells you where to go, but there's no departure — like, times of flights. and i want to start with saying, we are deeply sorry for the impact that we've caused to customers, to travellers, to anyone affected by this, including our company. there will be someone in crowdstrike who will be in a lot of trouble - right now for not getting this right and there will be a lot of people i working this weekend in businesses all over the world to try _ and fix this problem. joining me tonight are journalist and author, rachel shabi, and former 2020 republican presidential candidate and congressman, joe walsh. first, the latest headlines. the cybersecurity firm crowdstrike, which caused a massive global it
