says he has established "personal relations" with president trump — saying the us president is ‘very different than on tv‘. firefighers tell the bbc they didn't have the necessary equipment needed to tackle the blaze at grenfell tower. and tens of thousands of people march through the capital iraqi forces say they are close to recapturing the old city of mosul from so—called islamic state militants. and tens of thousands of people march through the capital to celebrate pride and mark 50 years since homosexuality was decriminalised in england and wales. when getting my nose in a book cured most things short of school... philip larkin‘s poem, a study of reading habits. now we know a lot more about his own reading habits, because his personal book collection has gone on display and there's a lot of agatha christie, billy bunter and beatrix potter. here we've got 3700 of philip larkin‘s own books. they are a part of an exhibition of his personal objects at the university of hull library, where he worked for more than 30 years. but what do ties, a lawn mower and his tiny animal figurine

collection tell people about one of the nation's greatest ever poets? what they are going to learn is what they cannot learn in books. so lots and lots of words have been written about larkin, but what you can see here is the things he surrounded himself with in his life. because he's a librarian, he catalogues everything. he's even catalogue who he's received christmas cards from and who he's sending them to. so if he sends one to someone, doesn't get one, they'll be gone? well, in 1979, he receives a christmas card from andrew motion... future poet laureate? yes, future poet laureate but also his biographer and literary executor and then in 1980, yes, larkin sends a christmas card to the motions. he doesn't send one in 1979, he writes it down and he sends one in 1980. the exhibition also includes newly—found silent super eight films from the 60s and 70s, which the library made for their annual christmas party. it's clear why philip larkin became

a poet and not an actor. you have not shied away from the darker side of his personality? no, this figure of hitler was bought by his father on one of his visits to germany and he gave it to his son. and philip kept it. hull's year of city of culture has helped change perceptions of the place and the librarian doing larkin‘s old job and using his office is certain he wouldn't have approved. i think he would have been appreciative, but i suspect an exhibition about larkin, i don't think he would have been comfortable with that. but as the exhibition shows, larkin wasn't entirely comfortable with anything. now on bbc news — sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. two teams cannot be separated.

the lions draw in new zealand. runs for alastair cook as england stay in control against south africa at lord's. valtteri bottas claims the second pole of his career ahead of the austria grand prix. the first week of wimbledon is

drawing to a close. note new zealand where a thrilling british and irish lions series has ended in a draw. the score was 15 all in the third test. so honours even at the end of the tour, with both teams having won one match. katie gornall reports from auckland. rugby is part of the fabric of new zealand. almost everyone here is a fan, although today the all blacks seemed a little outnumbered. the lions seem hopeful and determined to leave with more thanjust memories. but in six weeks, the british and irish lions have transformed from no—hopers into a genuine threat, new zealand's fortress invaded by a red army. it would set the tone for a breathless first half, the pace not always matched with precision. that came from the all blacks‘ beauden barrett who picked out his younger, taller brother jordie to set up the opening score,

a try finished by ngani laumape, but born in the barretts‘ back yard. new zealand's captain was making his 100th appearance, but it was the debutants who were stealing the limelight asjordie barrett made his first test start one to remember. but the all blacks‘ dominance wasn't reflected in the score line. penalties kept the lions within reach as elliot daly kicked for the horizon. new zealand strained every sinew to hold back the lions, sometimes illegally. but playing here at eden park is a test of nerve. 0wen farrell could never be faulted there, this, the kick to level the match. a refereeing decision would deny the all blacks a chance for victory. this series ended an improbable draw. the series has delivered a fitting finale. the tourists have won respect but they have fallen agonisingly short of what could have been the greatest triumph. warren gatland entered his press conference after the match wearing a large red nose. that was because one new zealand newspaper had depicted him as a clown after the all blacks won in the first test. to come here to new zealand, against back—to—back world champions, and draw the series, it is an unbelievable achievement, considering that we were completely written off. everyone was talking about this

being a 3—0 whitewash. this group of players have shown unbelievable character. it has been tough. it was tough when we were awarded the penalty. that is probably something i will think about for a long time, whether we go for the corner and put the food oi'i the throat or do you take the three points? there were two minutes to go. if you miss, you're probably going to get the ball back on a dropout 22, while we try to get the ball back from kick—off, which we did not manage. i thought it was better safe than sorry, get the three points. those decisions are 50—50. i would like to congratulate the british and irish

lions for drawing the series. it has been a fantastic three match series. both teams have played their hearts out. it has come down to the wire. we have ended up with a hand on the trophy each. it is a bit like kissing your sister. there is not a lot in it for anybody. at the same time, it has been a wonderful advertisement for rugby. nail—biting finish to an exciting series. memories for the fans. here is what some of them had to say leaving eden park. what an absolutely fabulous series. up the lines. fa ntastical world of rugby. we'll do the all blacks and calm. we have a young side there. guys in bin. 14 playing 15. a real hard battle. hollow feeling. everybody expected new zealand to run away with it or the lions win. maybe the expected a draw. they played well, the lions, a good,

ha rd—fought test match. disappointing any time you get a draw, but we believe of it. england's cricketers are building a good lead at lord's on the third day of the test against south africa. they were 97 ahead after the first innings and have continued to make good progress in their second innings. let's go live to lord's and join adam wild. saturday at the test, few finer places to be landlords in the sunshine. memories, history. now time to look forward. fitting the start of play rung in by retiring cricket legend, henry bluefield. cricket legend, henry blofeld. plenty of effort there. plenty from england's bowlers. the resistance from quinton de kock. south africa slowly eating away at the league. down to 97 when moeen ali struck decisively. england on top in the sunshine at lord's. now down to the batsmen to press home the advantage.

plenty of time for that. no need to rush. wait for the rightful. alastair cook is made a career of that. the former captain taking control, and the game away from south africa. cook and england return in the morning. for now they can reflect on the day in the sun well spent. lewis hamilton is going to have his work cut out tomorrow if he's to finish on the podium in the austrian grand prix. he was third in qualifying, but a penalty means that he'll start back in eighth on the grid. his team—mate valterri bottas will be on pole, with world championship leader sebastian vettel second. tom clarkson is in spielberg for us. the 2017 world championship is proving an impossible one to predict. yesterday lewis hamilton riding the crest of a wave at the red bull ring. today after qualifying, it was a different story. as nick harris reports. lewis hamilton had his qualifying over

before it began. a five place penalty for changing his gearbox, the best he could finish was sixth. he dominated practice, a scrappy final session costing. as he was trying to put it right, romain grosjean came to a halt. bringing out the yellow flag, denying the crowd a thrilling finale. thousands of dutch fans can support max verstappen, they were left disappointed as he could only finish sixth. delight for valtteri bottas claiming the second pole position of his career. championship league sebastian vettel right behind him, the race will be a damage limitation exercise for hamilton, starting from eighth place. whether the two have buried the hatchet since come together in azerbaijan remains to be seen. they shook hands before being interviewed. handshake, please my friend. we have already shaken. only for hamilton to refuse to do so again. hamilton frustrated, he does have a couple of things in his favour.

the first, he will be a different set of tyres to the cars around him. strategic options. secondly, the weather changes quickly here in the mountains. possibility of rain falling at about to o'clock on sunday afternoon. that is just when the race will be starting. if that happens, anything could happen. truly fitting in this 2017 world championship battle. let's hear from the let's hearfrom the men in the let's hear from the men in the front two places. really good, enjoy driving in front of you guys here. thanks for the support. i enjoyed it today. the car was getting better and better as the grid was coming up. decent lap in the end, not quite perfect, but good enough. a long race, a lot of things can happen. we have to look after ourselves. a tough race, he has been quick all began. yesterday setting a good pace.

should be a good race. middle saturday always special at wimbledon. the sun shining again. a good day for most of the big names. 0ne of the biggest names still in action right now. let's go over to john let's go over tojohn motson. —— watson. the fourth round line—up is almost complete. certainly will be with the conclusion of two matches. roger federer against alexander zverev, and dominic thiem inaction. before roger federer walked on court, there was a giant killer on the loose. ernests gulbis already taking down former us open championjuan martin del potro. he had his sights on novak djokovic. for a while he had rattled.

all sorts of things can get to you on court. within minutes, novak djokovic was challenging the umpire over the way he handled the challenges. two points in the row. focus, please. the real issue with the guy on the other side of the net. gulbis was too good, grabbing the early break. any ideas, coach? that is andre agassi. dressed as if in the school nativity. djokovic wanted something. then gulbis helps, losing his way. repeated double fault. djokovic breaking twice. he's the only latvian man to have even played in a slam. reaching the semifinals of the french open run. now played like a man who had missed an opportunity and knew it. second set djokovic 6—1.

then the three words centre court has heard routinely in this tournament. medical time—out. an epidemic of them sastohn mcenroe. chat amongst yourselves. is roger on soon? there were some really good moments in the third set. gulbis played on, competed, djokovic raised his game. his assessment much better in the third set. compare to the last couple of matches. this was the most focused i was on the court. 0bviously other time. gulbis is a great challenge. into the second week prepared for anything, andre. it could rain. roger federer followed djokovic on

centre court. let's bring you the latest. took the first two sets. taking the second month 6—4, the first 7—6. roger federer looking to wrap up the match, but his place into the fourth round this taking on alexander zverev of germany. 28 c. as we know, federer missed the french open to try and prolong his career this following the incredible performance at the australian open, beating rafa nadal in the final to left another grand slam, adding another to his collection. looking to win an eighth wimbledon title. certainly would not bet against him following his historic achievements at the championship in the past. familiarface in at the championship in the past. familiar face in the crowd, at the championship in the past. familiarface in the crowd, riyad mahrez of leicester. enjoying time

off before the football season gets under way. picking this year's women's champion has been one of the great challenges of this first week — with serena williams pregnant — there's a whole list of potential winners , and quite a few of them have been in action today. maz farhooki looks at the contenders: as the second week comes into focus, the ultimate prize comes into view. winning a grand slam marks a place in history. that year left on women ‘s draw have experienced success on the biggest courts. one of them is angelique kerber, on paper, still the very top. once you have reached the pinnacle, hard not to fall short. shelby rogers not overawed by her number one ranking. the american took the opening set. that is the way to settle in. she has fighting qualities were playing at the highest level. she forced the match into the decider, gaining the upper hand in the third. clinching the decisive break. somehow still in the championship. she must be wondering quite how.

the german will lose her status as the world's best unless she reaches the final. tough second week, starting against last year's french open champion. carolyn wozniacki is a player who knows the focus of the spotlight. world number 1, 6 years ago, trying to recapture some more. her opponent served for the match. but carolyn wozniacki found a comeback. dancing back to secure her place in the next round. the smile, at last. just over two hours. she never knows when she's beaten. the women's side of the draw wide

open. elsewhere, milos raonic — who was beaten in last year's final by andy murray — is through to the second week after beating albert ramos—vinolas in straight sets. the canadian sixth seed sealed the match with an ace. he came through 7—6, 6—4, 7—5 on court one. sam querrey, who knocked novak djokovic out of wimbledon a year ago, tookjust five minutes to wrap up victory againstjo—wilfried tsonga. their match was halted due to bad light last night, and with tsonga on serve when they resumed querrey broke immediately to progress in five sets. the 13th seed grigor dimitrov is through to the last 16 at wimbledon for only the second time in his career. it took the bulgarian one hour to race to a two—set lead, before his opponent dudi sela

doubles for great britain's heather watson and naomi broady. they lost to 13th seeds kirsten flipkens & sania mirza 6—3, 3—6, 6—4. live pictures from court three. getting into a fifth set. impressive, considering they won the title last year. going great guns today. taking them toa going great guns today. taking them to a deciding set. fantastic story if they can upset the odds to come

watching all the action. one third of the 21 stages complete. the tour de france reaching the mountain. challenging climbs, concentration for chris froome. not a stage where you can win the race, that you can easily lose it. thomas close to doing just that. with steeper and harder climbs in store two, a breakaway group sees their chance to fight it out for the stage win. hard racing between the contenders for the overall tour title, that chris froome and team sky came out comparatively unscathed. at the front, a french
