memory. two classic spinning deliveries. in those ways, sri lanka stay in the game. and england needed jamie smith in his first test match summer to really dig deep to finish... smith already seems like a crucial component. england will resume with a chance to build significantly but they know they are in a real game. session by session, sri lanka are a dowsing... it's also day two of the first test between pakistan and bangladesh in rawalpindi. the hosts declared on 448—6, thanks to a mi from saud shakeel and an unbeaten 171 from mohammed rizwan. bangladesh are 27 without loss in reply, trailing by a21 runs. england's charley hull leads the way after the first round of the women's open at st andrews, after a difficult day because of windy conditions. jane dougall wraps up the action.

8:35 pm
been taken off air at match of the day and also the one day —— the one show. two prime—time shows there. he has appeared on several shows, as i say, he was a pundit on much of the day and also a host on the one show. he was widely seen as gary linekar�*s natural successor on much of the day. before this he was a footballer, and england footballer, made his debut when he was just 17 years old. he then

8:37 pm
the bbc�*s medical editor fergus walsh was granted exclusive access to the trial as it took place. mavis is a rarity — one of just a few alzheimer's patients in the uk who are receiving lecanemab. she's been having an infusion every fortnight for several years. this was november 2022. mavis was part of a trial which showed that the drug delayed progression of early alzheimer's by around 4—6 months. do you remember, we used to watch the ducks in there? her husband is grateful for the extra time. it's enabled mavis to keep her personality. i mean, she's still our mavis. she always was bright and cheery, and she still is. we have had some wonderful years since you came on this drug, haven't we? yeah. and some great times. and i am grateful for it too, my goodness.
8:38 pm
it's making a difference to your life, isn't it? now, i heard you had a big coffee morning this morning? _ oh, did i? do you remember that? no, i don't. lecanemab is not a wonder drug. mavis' short—term memory remains badly affected. she's great with her childhood. she can remember everything that went on then, and she often tells us stories about that — but that she will forget a conversation that you had almost immediately afterwards. lecanemab is the first drug to be licensed in the uk which can slow the progress of alzheimer's, albeit modestly. it works by clearing a rogue protein which builds up in the brains of alzheimer's patients. i've calculated that lecanemab is likely to cost around £20,000 a year privately — but administering the drug and brain scans will probably double that,
8:39 pm
which the health assessment body nice says does not represent value for money. hold that for me, please. and i'll use this on your left, 0k? there are dozens of similar drugs going through clinical trials. alzheimer's charities want the nhs to get ready for this new era of treatment. this is a defining moment for alzheimer's disease and gives us real hope for the future. but we have some big challenges ahead, because the key to getting access to this treatment, or any potential future treatment will be getting an early and accurate diagnosis. and we're nowhere near that at the moment. lecanemab can cause brain swelling and bleeding, so patients need careful monitoring. despite the risks and its modest benefits, many alzheimer's researchers regard lecanemab as a turning point, because it shows this dreaded disease has its weaknesses, and better drugs will follow.
8:40 pm
let's speak to david thomas who is head of policy and public affairs at alzheimer's research uk. it is good to hear some positive news when it comes to alzheimer's, isn't it? only very few people are going to benefit from this. absolutely. this is a bittersweet moment for people without assignments. to have the first licensed treatment that has been shown in clinical trials in the uk to slow the problems of alzheimer's disease. to get the news at the same time that it is not cost—effective in the nhs is deeply disappointing. we are saying that given the scale of the challenge that alzheimer's poses, we want to look at that again and see the government bringing together the company nice and the nhs to see which solutions they can

8:42 pm
is why we need to see some leadership from government and also investment to support the nhs who are grappling with some really big challenges at the moment. they need additional support to make sure people can get access.- people can get access. more positively. — people can get access. more positively. as— people can get access. more positively, as we _ people can get access. more positively, as we were - people can get access. more i positively, as we were hearing, there are otherjugs that are in the late stages, aren't there? they could potentially lead somewhere as well. how optimistic do you feel about them? there are something like 27 different drugs being tested at the moment. 27 different drugs being tested at the moment-— the moment. there are 27 in late state the moment. there are 27 in late stage development, _ the moment. there are 27 in late stage development, there - the moment. there are 27 in late stage development, there are . the moment. there are 27 in late i stage development, there are more clinical trials looking alzheimer's. it is a milestone, it shows that, with research and science, we can affect the progress of a disease like alzheimer's. we need to maintain that momentum to make sure we have drugs that deliver more benefit and drugs that are available
8:43 pm
for everyone, notjust those in the early stages of alzheimer's. i think there is good reason to be excited but we need to maintain that momentum that we have generated. thank you so much. appreciate your time. india's prime minister, narendra modi, says his government is willing to offer any help it can to end the conflict in ukraine but warned nothing could be solved on the battlefield. mr modi wrapped up the final day of his visit to poland today — meeting with president duda in warsaw. earlier, he held talks in warsaw with his polish counterpart, donald tusk. the indian leader is due in ukraine on friday at the invitation of president zelensky. translation: friends, - the situation prevailing in ukraine and west asia is a matter of deep concern for us all. india firmly believes that no conflict or problem can be resolved in the battlefield. the loss of innocent lives in any crisis is the biggest challenge
8:44 pm
for all of humanity. and that is why we support dialogue and diplomacy for the quick restoration of peace and stability. for this, india is ready to work with friendly nations to provide all possible support. joining me now is dr anastasia piliavsky who is a reader in social anthropology and politics at the india institute at king's college london. shejoins me from odesa in ukraine. hello. thank you forjoining us. talking about his visit to ukraine tomorrow, but first of all, how important was this visit to poland today? important was this visit to poland toda ? ~ , , ., , important was this visit to poland today? absolutely historic for both india and poland. _ today? absolutely historic for both india and poland. no _ today? absolutely historic for both india and poland. no indian - today? absolutely historic for both india and poland. no indian head l today? absolutely historic for both | india and poland. no indian head of state has visited poland in 45 years, not since 1979. no indian head of state has ever visited ukraine so this is a momentous event where a major two—day visit with a full protocol, hundreds of people
8:45 pm
who are meeting on all levels, is enormous. it of course follows on modi's visit to russia which is surely part of the balancing act as he is trying to maintain an impeccable kind of nonalignment strategy which he has followed. it is also part of his strategy of transforming india into a global player. he is developing ties that have either never existed, that india has never had strong ties with, or ties which have been languishing for decades. so, this in poland, india and poland, is viewed as the next china. as part of the indo—pacific 2ist as the next china. as part of the indo—pacific 21st century in which india will pay a big role. polish companies that went to china in the early 90s and profited hugely from this are now viewing india as the next opportunity. so there is a lot of investors. next opportunity. so there is a lot of investors—

8:47 pm
is about strengthening, deepening, trade ties. strengthening military relations. learning from the ukrainian experience of developing low—cost, high—tech military defence technologies. also, about learning from poland's experience of transitioning from soviet military systems to nato ones. which india is fast in the process of doing. thank ou so fast in the process of doing. thank you so much _ fast in the process of doing. thank you so much for— fast in the process of doing. thank you so much forjoining _ fast in the process of doing. thank you so much forjoining us. - around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

8:56 pm
more unsettled during the early hours and into friday morning. rain and gales becoming widespread, certainly across england and wales, we could see some disruption, all because of storm lilian which is racing in off the atlantic as we speak. so this area of rain will become widespread across central—southern scotland, northern ireland, northwest england again and into wales and the midlands. and then a swathe of strong, potentially damaging winds, beginning to move in across wales, the midlands and northern england. 50—60mph gusts widely, could be up to 75mph in the worst affected areas. mild in the south, a bit cooler in the north. so we start with those very strong winds and heavy rain during friday morning. it quickly clears off though into the north sea, and seeing skies brighten up nicely. the winds begin to ease down, but it stays very blustery into the afternoon with some showers in northern and western areas. these are the sorts of gusts we're looking at later in the day. they could be higher than this though during friday morning. but the winds continue to ease down later on. temperature—wise, 22—23 in the southeast, mid—teens further north, so on the cool side.
8:57 pm
so we could see some travel disruption from storm lilian, could see some trees down, maybe some power outages and some travel disruption certainly for friday morning. so stay tuned to weather forecasts and to bbc local radio. as we head through friday night, we'll see further showers or longer spells of rain push into the northwest, and then an area of more persistent and heavy rain moving across southern and southeastern areas to start saturday. again, mild in the south, a bit fresher further north. so for saturday, we have low pressure to the northwest of the uk. this waving front, which will bring a period of heavy and prolonged rain across the southeast corner during much of the morning, only very slowly clearing out, and it'll be followed by sunshine but also some heavy thundery showers. further north and west, it stays blustery close to that low, and there will be some showers around, but also some sunshine. temperatures, high teens in the north, maybe up to 20 celsius across the southeast. as a bank holiday weekend for many of us, sunday doesn't look too bad towards the south, thanks to this area of high pressure, but weather fronts always
8:58 pm
affecting more northern and western areas both saturday and sunday and monday as well. so, unsettled in the north and the west, further south and east that you are, it will tend to be drier, sunny and a bit warmer.
8:59 pm
