hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the government says 27 high—rise blocks of flats in 15 local authorities have failed fire—cladding safety tests. four buildings on the chalcot estate near swiss cottage in london were evacuated last night by authorities for "urgent fire safety works". they identified a number of issues around installation, or gas pipes going into flats, or on fire doors. the message to me was that the combination of the flammable external cladding and these issues inside the block meant that the building was not safe. some residents spent the night in hotels or on airbeds in a leisure centre. around 80 households have refused to leave. general advice is to get out and evacuate, but until circumstances change i intend staying put. a cyber attack at westminster — the house of commons authorities say they‘ re investigating attempts to hack mps‘ and peers‘

email accounts. the huge rescue operation is taking place in south—west china close to tibet. more than 100 people are feared to have been buried by a landslide. now on bbc news — 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.

good evening. it seems like it's 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 momentum, 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 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 0'brien but created by many. 13—8 at half—time, but the all blacks ran

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. gatlin said after this match that he is still confident the lions can make this a close the all blacks haven‘t played champagne rugby and throwing the ball all over the place. in fairness they were very direct up front, and so we need to make sure we are better in those areas in terms of combatting them for next week. his opposite number was understandably in a much better mood post—match. he even gave something

approaching a smile as he praised his opponents. to their credit, they we re his opponents. to their credit, they were in the game. i thought the scorer were in the game. i thought the scorer in the end looks like it was easy but it wasn't easy. i thought the lions played magnificently. when they can score tries like that first one, you're sitting there thinking, they should be doing that a bit more often. that was probably one of the best test tries i've ever seen. they 110w best test tries i've ever seen. they now must win both the many tests if they are to avoid a series defeat. but tonight new zealand demonstrated here 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 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 kicks putting them in front at half—time. ten points from rurithackson 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 peg them back sufficiently. a disappointing end, not the end gregor townsend would‘ve wanted, and 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. fingers crossed. it‘s been a

frustrating day for the 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. yes! it lives! if you look at the bowling figures, heather knight and danielle hazell, much betterfrom india. the top scorers doing much better, smriti mandha na india. the top scorers doing much better, smriti mandhana got 90, and punam raut but 86. engin‘s players could only manage 81 and 46. not

bad, but not enough. let‘s see how the match hand—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 a 20—year—old, smriti mandhana, india‘s vastly experienced captain waited her 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 team have just scored 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 who would stay in? 42-2.

captain heather knight on 46 had to push it. here she comes... ran out. fran wilson in herfirst world cup match played the best innings of her career. in the last ten overs england needed 76, but those runouts kept coming. quick work, watch the replay. bat not grounded and wilson gone. england soon all out for 246. englan‘s big day, the opportunity was 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 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. 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. earlierjessica ennis—hill‘s former coach told us what you thought of the performances. a lot of people have passed on this and 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 are 2.5 points ahead of where we predicted we probably would be. 0verall, good performances. who stood out particularly? jack green and a eilidy doyle in the 400 metre hurdles, both of those with wins, and also dan bramble in the long jump, and dwayne karen, new to the team, but he

won the 400 metres. and harry aiken, another name we know, winning the men‘s 100. those are the five individuals, but i will that my hand up and said duane, because he was new and won. how many of these athletes will we see going forward to c 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 of these names, names people at home might not knowjust yet? i think because there is 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, eilidh doyle, 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 goes tomorrow in the final

of the women‘s 100 metres hurdles. she is a junior. when i had a conversation with her it was more about going out and having fun, it‘s an experience competing against adults, people that hopefully in your career you will compete against on a more regular basis. you are nervous because you‘re sending them out 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 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 our bigger names and better athletes have decided not to 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 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 championships just a few weeks away it must bring back memories, considering where it‘s taking 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 is the british public. the appetite for live sport, the noise 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. really enjoyed athletics this afternoon. continuing again 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. azerbaijan is known as the land of fire to forget. he missed qualifying up to his renault compost —— combusted 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. little room for error. inal 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. bottas went even faster, but hamilton was fired up, moving into second on the all—time list of pole positions behind michael schumacher. it was all nothing, but the lap got better and better. i knew he was doing a good lap at night i came 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. 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. 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. 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 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. 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. 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. petra kvitova‘s form is improving dramatically, 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. a former wimbledon champion, so she will have arrived on fw 19. 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 going into these finals england‘s

boxers were already guaranteed seven medals. the question was with the beagle or silver? the first couple of buyouts did not going than‘s way. the first two fighters lost out, but then at bantamweight, up against the local crowd favourite, the 21—year—old from liverpool was docked a point for use of the head in the second round but did not lose the head and came through to take the head and came through to take the gold and carve out a split decision. an excellent win against the former world medallist. i‘m been told no one from liverpool had a gold—medal in the past. if thatis had a gold—medal in the past. if that is right then i have made history. me when i‘m retired in yea rs history. me when i‘m retired in years to come kids my age will be like, he was the first one to win a gold. and that is what they will be

aiming for. he was pretty pumped up after that win, no wonder, european champion at the first attempt. of the eight finalists here today six of them we re finalists here today six of them were representing their country at this level for the very first time. among the other silver medallists today were packed and luke mccormac, fraser clarke view mirror the other day, he was twice priced clinically dead before becoming a boxer. he beat a former 0lympic dead before becoming a boxer. he beat a former olympic champion and optimised. today he could not quite ove 1120 m e optimised. today he could not quite overcome the current one of the champion. he worked as planned better than mine, and he won. it is myjob to go back and work hard and come back again. in an's total here of one bronze, six silvers and one gold for peter mcgrail, that is their best ever either as england or great britain at the european championships. there was also one gold medalfor championships. there was also one gold medal for ireland, championships. there was also one

gold medalfor ireland, and came for joel ward in the light heavyweight category, and that was his third european crown. now, they may be small but they are fierce. 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 swedish island of gotland. 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 others in 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 of gotland in the baltic sea surrounded

by scandinavian countries. it is known as the friendly games. but it is very serious. what can we look forward to in the island games? after the opening ceremony the competition begins tomorrow. it starts with triathlon. we havejersey‘s men‘s defending champion looking for another gold. he is also a commonwealth athlete and has competed at the world level. after triathlon it will move to athletics where andy frost will compete for his ninth consecutive gold. that‘s actually an island games record. he will also hope to throw a commonwealth games qualifying distance so that he can get to australia in 2018. for some athletes it really is a springboard. mark cavendish started his career at the island games by winning two gold medals.

kelly saladin was at the games for the isle of wight, and it will be interesting with a guernsey swimmer, miles monroe, 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. looks like a good event. good turnout for the opening ceremony as well. concluding our series on women‘s sport week, today we meet a group of sportswomen from yorkshire, who have had 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 the 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 elite game. although the 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 ban definitely quickly got me on board to do something about it. we all came together. there are 12 of us played professionally, but because of that ban they have to stop. that is 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 with us actively. if everyone had come together we wouldn‘t have lifted it. and you travelled to turkey to raise awareness? once they watched us play, they saw it 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, in tournaments, with the full support of theirfamilies. i like playing sports all my life since i was young. it was something i did with my dad and my brother. there 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 their families and force the families to allow them to be here. although the rule change has been introduced, the ban won‘t 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 the sport. for these women and the lifting of the ban is a cultural shift they believe will change the face will change

the face of basketball, on and off the court. so that‘s just about it for sportsday to recap our top story — the british and irish lions lose the first test against against the all blacks in auckland — 30 points to 15. but plenty of positives, including that try, one of the best. that‘s all from sportsday. bags for watching. it is a rather different weekend compared to last weekend, that‘s because we have low pressure in charge. you can see the curl of 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 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 parts 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 warm direction. a blustery start on sunday in the north. brighter weather on the east 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 have outbreaks of rain. always wettest in wales in the south—west of england, but that eases in the morning. 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, 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 east, but it is going downhill in northern ireland with rain setting in during the day. tuesday doesn‘t be great for many parts cloudy with outbreaks 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 8:00 — 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 for them to return in the future. some residents spent the night in hotels or on airbeds you have to leave, pack a bag. i said, for how long? they said, just for a couple of days. i said, what if we don‘t leave? and they said, well, we will have the police around to forcibly remove you from your flat.
