the headlines: the government says 27 high—rise blocks of flats and 15 local authorities have failed to fire cladding safety tests. for buildings in an estate in london we re buildings in an estate in london were evacuated last night by authorities for urgent fire safety works. they identified a number of issues in the blocks around insulation, around gas pipes going into flats, around fire doors. and the message to me was that the combination of the flammable external cladding and these issues inside the block meant that the building wasn't safe. some residents of the hotels or any beds in a leisure centre, although 18 households have refused to leave. the general advice is to get out and evacuate, until circumstances change i intend to stay put. cyber attack at westminster. authorities say they are investigating attempts to hack mps' and peers' e—mail accounts. jeremy corbyn has received a rock
6:31 pm
sta r‘s jeremy corbyn has received a rock star's welcome at the glastonbury festival. the labour leader urged revellers to make a difference in. let's find out how the sport is looking and we can cross to the sports centre for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday with me katherine downes, and tim hague. the headlines this evening: a pummelling for the pride — the all blacks show the lions why they're the best team in the world, and why beating them on home turf may prove too tough a task. not the start they wanted — england's women lose the first match of their world cup campaign to india. and at the european team athletics championships, great britain are third after the opening day, as elidh doyle does her bit, with a season's best in the 400metre hurdles.
6:32 pm
good evening. it seems like its been a long time since the british and irish lions landed in new zealand, but today the test series finally started — and the all blacks showed the lions precisely why this tour will be their biggest challenge in decades. yes, the world champions beat the lions 30 points to 15, and coach warren gatland says they have no excuses. it means the lions must win the next two to win the series. katie gornall was watching in auckland. the lions arrived with optimism and the meant, but that had all but evaporated by the final result. this was a sobering defeat for a warren gatland's side, but not as one—sided
6:33 pm
as the scoreline suggests. they're the team with the hopes of four nations on their shoulders. the lions may be guests in new zealand, but they don't intend to leave empty—handed. recent results have given these fans genuine hope, but no—one thinks it is going to be easy. many here will remember the 2005 series in new zealand, a whitewash the lions would rather forget. once again, this was a tale of underdogs. unfancied by almost everyone at the start of the tour, taking on a fearsome machine. the all blacks just don't do defeat. the lions made a ferocious start, but they faced danger from every angle. a forward on the wing, well, this is new zealand, and this is total rugby. time for the lions to regroup. they stood firm and wriggled from the all blacks' grasp. liam williams too fast, too good. one of the greatest lions' test tries finished by shaun o'brien but created by many. 13—8 at half—time, but the all blacks ran
6:34 pm
through the tourists' defence as few sides can. the lions forced to admire new zealand's best at their best. mistakes were creeping in and new zealand were lurking. the 20—year—old wasn't even born the last time the all blacks last at eden park. at this rate that may never change. they have six days to wellington to iron out some of those mistakes. after the match gatlin said he is confident the lions commit this a close fought series. the all blacks have not played champagne rugby and thrown the ball all over the place. they were very direct upfront and so we need to make sure we're better in those areas in terms of combating them for next week. his opposite number was understandably in a much better mood post match. even give
6:35 pm
something approaching a smile as he praised his opponents. to their credit, they know the game. i thought the score in the end looks like it was easy but it wasn't easy. i thought the lions played magnificently, and when they can score tries like that first one, you're sitting there thinking, they should be doing at a bit more often, because that was probably one of the best test tries i have ever seen. the lions must win both remaining tests if they are to avoid a series defeat here, but tonight new zealand demonstrated at eden parkjust how tough they are going to be to beat on home soil. so a disappointing start to the test series for the lions. and a disappointing day for scotland too, who ended their summer tour with a 27—22 defeat to fiji. after last week's historic win against australia, the scots couldn't follow up, and were edged out by an inspired fijian team. the result means a first defeat for gregor townsend since he took over as head coach. alastair lamont, is in fiji for us. yes, a disappointing end to what had
6:36 pm
up yes, a disappointing end to what had up until now been a very successful tour. in truth this was a patchy performance from the scots. ross ford on his 110th record—breaking appearance did get the opening try of the match, but back came fiji. tries and kicked putting them in front at half—time. ten points from rory jackson kept scotland very much in the game despite not being at their best, and although scotland got a late third try from fraser brown, fiji kept piling on the points and ultimately scotland did not pick them back sufficiently. it disappointing end, not the end gregor townsend would've wanted, and a reminder that the scotland side is a reminder that the scotland side is a work in progress. so plenty of rugby union internationals today. ireland bucking the trend for the home nations, as they beat japan 35—13 in toyko. the irish have won all three of their summer tour matches.
6:37 pm
it's been a frustrating day for england's women's cricket team. they started their world cup campaign against india but lost by 35 runs. facing a world record run chase of 282, they fell short, and had four players run out along the way. let's have a look at the scorecard and see how the match shaped up. doesn't seem to be working, i'm afraid. i'll give it another go. not to worry. let's have a round—up of how the match worked out. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson watched the action in derby. beneath the derby's grey canopy, a world cup began. the most difficult step can be the big step forward. but consider these circumstances. professional women's cricketers, proper prize money, and the hosts being walloped around the ground by
6:38 pm
a 20—year—old, smriti mandhana, india's vastly believes captain waited her turn as mandhana did the business in the big middle. there she was again. 90 on a world cup debut, mandhana had seized the moment. india celebrating at lunchtime, why wouldn't they. their tea m lunchtime, why wouldn't they. their team have just caught 281. to lunchtime, why wouldn't they. their team havejust caught 281. to beat that, england would have to score like never before. they were batting. they had never chased a total that big to win. the sun was out but he would stay in? 112—2. captain heather knight and 46 had to push it. here she comes... ran out. fran wilson in herfirst push it. here she comes... ran out. fran wilson in her first world push it. here she comes... ran out. fran wilson in herfirst world cup match played the best innings of her career. in her last ten overs england needed 76, but those runouts kept coming. quick work, watch the replay. but not grounded and wilson gone. england soon all out for 246. input‘s big day, the opportunity was
6:39 pm
grabbed by india. still to come on sportsday: another pole for lewis hamilton — we'll bring you the thrills and spills from qualifying in azerbaijan. we'll be live in the pictoresque swedish island of gotland ahead of the start of the island games — it features jersey, anglesey and gibraltar among others. and i've been finding out how this women's basketball team from bradford helped bring about an international rule change in the elite game. wood is having a discussion about who goes first! there have been some strong performances from great britain's athletes at the european team championships taking place in lille today. at one point they led the overall standings but they've finished the first day in third place. and i'm delighted to say esteemed coach, tony minichello, is here alongside us to discuss it. tony, a decent day at the office for britain?
6:40 pm
added mix. it is a mixed site. a lot of people have passed on this and not be part of this team, so there isa not be part of this team, so there is a mixture of youngsters and seniors. some people have acquitted themselves really well. we have had five wins in total on the first day, and went to 2.5 points ahead of where we predicted we probably would be. 0verall, good performances. who still are particularly? you should be shorter or audience as the standout performer‘s we have names that we know. jack green and a leader oil in the 400 metre hurdles, both of those with winds, and also dan bramble in the long jump, and when karen, new to the team, but he w011 when karen, new to the team, but he won the 400 metres. and harry aiken, another name we know, winning the men's 100. another name we know, winning the men's100. those are the five individuals, but i will that my hand up individuals, but i will that my hand up and said wayne, because he was new g1. how many of these athletes will we see going forward to
6:41 pm
compete? because as you say it is not that far and all the trials, next weekend, and then the world championships themselves just a couple of months away. we'll be season couple of months away. we'll be season of these names, names people at home might not knowjust yet?|j think at home might not knowjust yet?” think because there was a qualifying standard for the world championships which people have to achieve, some of these people probably won't get those qualifying standards. but i thinkjack green, a leader oil, they will be the standout names. fingers crossed, still two weeks to go to qualify so maybe they can raise the performance is a little bit and make it in the team. as a coach do get nervous if your athlete is competing in an event before the big ones? i've got an athlete on the team, she was tomorrow in the final of the women's 100 was tomorrow in the final of the women's100 metres hurdles. she is a junior. why had a conversation with howard was more about going out and having fun, it's an experience competing against adults, people that hopefully in your career you
6:42 pm
will compete against on a more regular basis. you are nervous because you're sending about into the big wide world, but you don't cut your teeth sat at home. great britain in third after day one of competition, germany at the top. how farare we competition, germany at the top. how far are we from being on top and can we come away with this team victory? how long is the competition itself? second day tomorrow. what are our chances of coming out on top? coming out on top is difficult. the germans and the polish are stronger in depth. some of bigger names and better athletes have decided not to better athletes have decided not to be at this. if we can maintain third 01’ be at this. if we can maintain third or top four, that is superb considering the team we have managed to put out. also we were disqualified in the women's relay, that perennial thing in the relay, so we that perennial thing in the relay, so we missed a few points there. some points thrown away, some gains, but on the whole we are ahead of where we should be. with the world
6:43 pm
championshipsjust where we should be. with the world championships just a few weeks ago we must bring back memories, considering where to sticking place. london, it's great. it would be nice having athlete there but we will have to wait and see. it is a superb stadium. if people talk about legacy, i think the huge reality of legacy, i think the huge reality of legacy is the british public. the appetite for live sport, the noise they make, and the huge advantage they make, and the huge advantage they give to the home team. call it a 12th man in football if you like, but it does make a difference. you can't get a ticket, can you? give love to jess, can't get a ticket, can you? give love tojess, ragged with her second child. i will do. enjoy love tojess, ragged with her second child. iwill do. enjoy the love tojess, ragged with her second child. i will do. enjoy the second day's competition tomorrow. lewis hamilton's blistering form continues for mercedes — he's secured another pole — the 66th of his career — in azerbaijan. 0n the last lap of qualifying, hamilton beat his mercedes team—mate valterri bottas into second. championship leader sebastian vettel lines up tomorrow in fourth. here's nick parrott.
6:44 pm
azerbaijan is known as the land of fire something this driver is unlike might live to forget. he missed qualifying up to his renault compost and in practice, condemning him to back of the grid. mclaren‘s miserable season continued with yet more penalties, and fernando alonso failing to get through to the second session for the first time this season. session for the first time this season. little run for error. this stopped hamilton from bettering battery both asp? final run in the first session. daniel ricciardo paid a heavy price. with this chance is gone qualifying was suspended while his red bull was recovered. battas went his red bull was recovered. battas we nt eve n his red bull was recovered. battas went even faster, but hamilton was fired up, moving into second on the all—time list of pole positions behind michael schumacher.m all—time list of pole positions behind michael schumacher. it was all nothing, but the lap got better and better throat. i knew he was doing a good lap at night i came
6:45 pm
across in overcoming down to the last corner and member thinking, please enough. i'm ecstatic. sebastian vettel more than a second behind in fourth, the britain is perfectly placed to cut the german's 12 point lead in the championship. now how about this for a quick recovery? britain's scott redding was in fifth place during qualifying for the dutch grand prix in assen when this happened — with five minutes of the session remaining. now moto gp riders are a determined bunch. down, but farfrom out, the 24 year old sprinted back to the pits and when he got therejumped on a spare bike and went back out like nothing had happened. he was rewarded for his efforts getting his fifth place back after slipping out of contention. it's lucky that pets are close by he could have had a long one. 0ne game in rugby league's super league this afternoon, and it was a losing start to life as catalans head coach for steve mcnamara.
6:46 pm
the former england boss saw his new side lose 24 points to 16 at warrington wolves. two tries for ryan atkins helped to give the wolves theirfirst win in 6 games. marin cilic beat gilles muller by 2 sets to one to reach the final at queen's in london. the croatian number 4 seed fought to a 6—3 5—7 6—4 victory over the 34 year old from luxembourg. cilic has only had his serve broken once in the tournament so far. and roger federer looks in solid form ahead of wimbledon. the 18—time grand slam winner came through a tough test against the russian karen khachanov in the semi—finals of the halle open in germany. federer won 6—4, 7—6. he'll play zverev in the final. roger in ominous form. you wouldn't bet against him. petra kvitova's form is improving dramatically,
6:47 pm
on her return to tennis. she's reached the final of the aegon classic in birmingham — only her second tournament since her playing hand was badly injured in a knife attack six months ago. she went through when her opponent, lucie safarova, was forced to retire. kvitova will play ashleigh barty of australia in the final. at the european boxing championships in ukraine, england had high hopes for a haul of gold medals with seven boxers in finals today. ultimately though they picked upjust the one — with six fighters losing this afternoon. the solitary win came from liverpool's peter mcgrail, who defeated home favourite mykola butsenko on a split decision. the 21—year—old brushed off a point deduction in the second round to claim an emotional victory in kharkiv. and just made up. all the crowd was against me there. anything the other
6:48 pm
kid was doing, the crowd was roaring. he caught me in the first round, cop neighbour called, and i felt as puncheon, and then he was putting it on me, i could hear the crowd roaring to got through it. i think i caught him on because he backed off and i could tell he was a bit although the place. and just buzzing and made up, and i can't wait to go and support the rest of the lads that are fighting. he couldn't cheer on any more victories though with the likes of rio 0lympians galal yafai and in the red here, pat mccormack, in the welterweight division, suffering defeats. the eight medals won in total at the championships does make it a record haulfor the english team. not as many goals but still a record number of medals. not bad. and if you think that a lot of the boxers from the pixel gone professional, it looks good for the next batch. the island games takes place every two years, and features the likes ofjersey, the shetland islands and menorca. it starts today on the little known
6:49 pm
swedish island of gotland. we can cross live to there now, jen smith is getting ready for the opening ceremony. thank you, actually notjust getting ready, the opening ceremony is going on behind me. these are 23 island nations and their supporters crammed into this arena. that come from as far afield as saint helena in the south atlantic. it took that team 11 days to get here. and also places like bermuda and the caribbean islands, british interest from guernsey, jersey, shetland, the 0rkneys and many other places. 23 island nations competing in 16 sports. we are here in the swedish island in the baltic sea surrounded by scandinavian countries, in gotland. it is known as the friendly games. but it is very serious. what

6:51 pm
already another big youth champion. for some it is a friendly games, for others it is more serious, but after the party has finished here in gotland at the opening ceremony, the competition begins tomorrow. plenty to look forward to. wang ‘s gem, at the island games. good turnout for the island games. good turnout for the opening ceremony as well. portugal and mexico are through to the knock out stages of the confederations cup match — portugal beat new zealand 4—0. cristiano ronaldo opened the scoring from the penalty spot with his 75th international goal. manchester city's new signing bernando silva bundled in a second for the european champions. a big win for portugal. and one other football line today — watford have signed derby's will hughes for £8 million. the england under—21 midfielder has signed a 5—year deal. there was no royal winner
6:52 pm
in the hardwicke stakes at ascot as the queen's horse dartmouth was beaten by the 9—2 shot idaho. her majesty‘s horse was in the lead going into the final stages of the race, but was overtaken in the final furlong by idaho, being ridden by seamie heffernan. idaho is trained by aiden 0'brien — that win ensures he finishes as champion trainer for the week at royal ascot for the eighth time. in the hockey world league semi finals in london, england have lost 2—0 to the netherlands in the semi finals regardless of today's result, the men had already qualified for the overall world cup finals in india in december. concluding our series on women's sport week, today we meet a group of sportswomen from yorkshire, who have had
6:53 pm
an impact internationally. until recently the international basketball federation banned religious headgear on safety grounds. but now, after a worldwide campaign from players at all levels of the game, that has changed. as rhia choham reports. meet bradford cobras basketball team. they have the trainers, the shorts and the jersey. they also have hijabs. you may not have seen a female basketball player wearing one before, that's because until last month they were banned in the game. although rule did not affect this local game, they learned their voices to a passionate worldwide campaign, urging the international bust federation to lift the ban. knowing there is something that i can do about that than definitely quickly got me up to do something about it. we all came together. there are 12 of us played professionally, but because of that than they have to stop. that is
6:54 pm
devastating for them. we use social media, we got a group online. we push each other and motivate each other to know what we're doing but also motivating others at the same time to take up the sport and encourage others to campaign that is actively. if everyone had come together we wouldn't have lifted it. and you travel to turkey to raise awareness, dingy? once they watched us awareness, dingy? once they watched us play, the solider was fine. and we played against girls that actually didn't wear it, so it got them a mix of how it would be played professionally or at any level. basketball is a big part of their lives. the play with friends, entrance, with the full support of theirfamilies. entrance, with the full support of their families. i like plain sports all my life since i was young. it was something i did with my dad and my brother. the result is this idea that a muslim girl because she wears a hijab she is pressed. if you look around, there are girls that are here because they enjoy basketball, not because they have had to ask
6:55 pm
their families and force the families to allow them to be here. although the rule change has been introduced, the ban would officially be lifted until the beginning of 0ctober. how will the change affect future women's basketball? i'm really excited to see what comes for them in the next few years, and to watch the olympics as well. i want more girls to be inspired and take up more girls to be inspired and take up the sport. for these women and the lifting of the ban is a cultural shift they believe will change the face of basketball, on and off the court. really interesting stuff. but you like the story as well, dingy? we know you knew this butjust a reminder it is of course national handstand day. everyone's doing it, even the royal berkshire fire and rescue service behind us there. you see handstands are good for you. they improve your balance and core stability. some of britain's top gymnasts have been getting involved. 0lympic bronze medallist nile wilson and colleagues, he in the light blue shorts,
6:56 pm
took part in a game of last man standing, upside down that is. nile was the first to fall. probably best not to try that at home. and when to give it a try. we're back at 7:30 p.m.. the bfi try the touch—screen upside down it might help. i think you should have a whole 30 minutes. i can't do a handstand, can you ? whole 30 minutes. i can't do a handstand, can you? no, iwas whole 30 minutes. i can't do a handstand, can you? no, i was asked andi handstand, can you? no, i was asked and i can't stop. and you can catch up with all the latest efforts from handstand day with our live page — just go to bbc.co.uk/getinspired' that's all from sportsday. it isa it is a rather different weekend compared to last weekend, that's because we have low pressure in charge. you can see the scroll of
6:57 pm
cloud, that is the centre of the area and the closer you are to the stronger the winds. so it is a blustery evening across northern scotland. blustery across the west and side of scotland as well. there isa and side of scotland as well. there is a breeze blowing in across england and wales. a few showers to go with that, by the end of the night will see cloud and rain getting into parts of wales in the western state of england. 14—15 for cardiff and london, 10—11 in the north. that low is drifting towards scandinavia through sunday. the winds are coming down from the north and north—west behind it. never a warmer direction for us. a blustery start on sunday in the north. brighter weather on the use of scotland. scattered showers on the north and west. it is bright and breezy in the morning in northern ireland in the northern half of england. but the southern half is looking rather cloudy. that's not right to be too much rain in the south and the east. relatively warm, 16-17. we
6:58 pm
south and the east. relatively warm, 16—17. we have outbreaks of rain. always wettest in wales in the south—west of england, but that easesin south—west of england, but that eases in the morning. the rain is mostly fairly light and patchy. some drizzle as well. in the afternoon some rain in the midlands, east anglia and some parts of wales. into the afternoon, not much rain left over. 19—20s year, further north, some spells of sunshine, a few showers and temperatures in the upper teens. glastonbury continues and we will see light rain and drizzle early in the day. it should be brightening up for the afternoon and evening. 17—18 with a noticeable breeze. the best of the sunshine will be in the south—east, 23 degrees year, but it is going downhill in northern ireland with rain setting in during the day. that area rent and heavy for a time in northern england and southern scotland. jooste doesn't be great for many parts cloudy with outbreaks
6:59 pm
of rain. next week, some unsettled weather. spells of quite heavy rain, breezy, not a great deal of sunshine. maybe you are heading off on holiday, you can find out what the weather has in store on the bbc weather website. this is bbc news. the headlines at seven: 27 high—rise blocks of flats across england have failed fire safety tests on their external cladding according to government figures. four buildings in camden in north london were evacuated last night by the authorities for "urgent fire safety works". they said there was nothing that we could do to guarantee residents' safety that night. in that situation, given the circumstances we are in, i thought we had to act swiftly. we are making sure the authority has the ability to do what is necessary to ensure that people have somewhere to stay and that the work is done so that those tower blocks will become safe
7:00 pm
for them to return in the future.
