this is bbc news. the headlines at five: the chancellor criticises cabinet colleagues for briefing against him as he defends his position on public sector pay. public sector workers on average are paid about 10% more than private sector workers. relative to private sector workers. relative to private sector workers, and they overpaid? relative, they are paid a 10% premium. jodie whittaker becomes the first woman to play the time lead in doctor who. roger federer becomes the first man to win eight wimbledon finals after beating first time finalist marin cilic in three sets. acid attack offenders could face life sentences as a new review looks into classifying corrosive substances as dangerous weapons. and lewis hamilton makes up ground in the formula one drivers‘ championship — winning the british grand prix for a fifth time, and for the fourth consecutive year. the chancellor phillip hammond has

defended the government's pay policy, saying public sector workers get a 10% premium over the private sector, once pensions are taken into account. mr hammond would not comment on reports today that he said public workers were "overpaid", but pointed out ministers should not be discussing private cabinet meetings. our political correspondent, jonathan blake, reports. the man of the moment, for perhaps the wrong reasons. philip hammond has, for the second time in a week, found himself defending private comments in public. the sunday times reports that during a cabinet meeting on tuesday, the chancellor used language that the paper says left colleagues thunderstruck. mr hammond reportedly said public sector workers are overpaid

when you take into account pensions. would he deny that? i've told you, i'm not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet meeting. five of your colleagues have. they shouldn't because cabinet meetings are supposed to be a private space in which we have a serious discussion. i'm the chancellor. you would expect me to put a discussion about public sector pay in the context of the fiscal and economic situation that we face. prison officers, teachers and nurses are among 5 million public sector workers whose annual pay rises are capped at 1%. that is below inflation, meaning in real terms many have seen their pay cut. at the general election, labour promised to scrap the pay cap but do public sector workers deserve a pay rise above inflation? i think they do but that will be up to the bodies. what i won't be doing, which this government has done, is write to the review bodies and say, yes, you can review the pay, but you can only go to 1%, which effectively means a pay cut for most people.

the chancellor's position on public sector pay is being used by some of his colleagues to paint him as out of touch, and according to the man himself, by those who disagree with him about brexit. if you want my opinion, some of the noise is generated by people who are not happy with the agenda that i have over the last few weeks tried to advance of ensuring that we achieve a brexit which is focused on protecting our economy, protecting ourjobs and making sure that we can have continued rising living standards in the future. as protests over public sector pay continue, the chancellor says ministers should be getting on with the job but the prime minister's authority is damaged after the election result and ministers do not seem to be in the mood for doing as they are told. jonathan blake, bbc news. in the past 35 minutes the bbc have

announced that jodie whittaker will be the 13th dr who. the first woman to play the part after yea rs of the first woman to play the part after years of speculation over whether the bbc would ever cast a female actor. let's take a look at the moment she was revealed as the successof the moment she was revealed as the successor to peter capaldi. if you think that faces familiar but

you are not sure where from, there's a good chance you will recognise jodie from her performances on the itv drama broadchurch and that's very relevant because the man taking over is the writer and creative force behind that so he has cast someone force behind that so he has cast someone he knows he can rely on from direct experience of working with herfor direct experience of working with her for several years. as soon as the news broke, we got reaction from super fan marc ford. wow! about time! i remembera wow! about time! i remember a comic relief version of doctor who with rowan atkinson written by steven moffat and i always thought when he generated into joanna lumley, moffat and i always thought when he generated intojoanna lumley, would have made a brilliant doctor. absolutely superb. she looks the pa rt absolutely superb. she looks the part and she's only 35 so actually quite young to be playing the

doctor. we have peter capaldi of the older generation... they think of william arnold being very old but he was only in his 50s when he was given the part. you can get away with a lot in black and white! absolutely but what's also really goodis absolutely but what's also really good is to see another good actress oi’ good is to see another good actress or actor, however she wants to be called, take this on. capaldi has brought a lot of gravitas, around the world people have taken a lot of notice and i think this is a really good thing. for all of the people who have been harping on about it for please just shut up now! let see how good this is. this is the beauty of the show, to be fair in the last few episodes he might have written a great big signposts saying yes i'm going to be a female doctor

eventually. it will be interesting to see how the news is reported in tomorrow's newspapers. we will have the newspapers tonight at 10:30pm and 11:30pm as usual on bbc news. roger federer has made history at wimbledon by winning his eighth men's singles title — beating marin cilic in straight sets in the final. let's cross to wimbledon and talk to hugh woozencroft. you have been watching the tournament and you watched that match. it's not all quite over at wimbledon but kind of mixed emotions i would imagine for many people watching that trial for roger federer because of the obvious discomfort that marin cilic was in. we have got our very own time lord here at wimbledon today because at the age of 36 orjust a few weeks

short of his 36th birthday, roger federer becomes the oldest man to wina federer becomes the oldest man to win a singles title at wimbledon, in fa ct win a singles title at wimbledon, in fact the second oldest grand slam champion since 1972. it was an historic day for him on centre court. he won his eighth title but it wasn't really how people hoped it would have gone. a straight sets victory for roger federer, his opponent never really got into the match at all. two breaks down in the second set trailing 3—0 cilic was on court in tears. we hurt he may have been suffering severe blistering to his foot but there was no way back for him and he went on to lose the set 6—1, then the final set 6—4. so the match not going the way people would want but the result was something people were hoping for in advance. roger federer a record

breaker again. he has won and eighth men's singles title but goes ahead of the great pete sampras, now his 19th grand slam title as well so a fantastic day for the swiss roger federer here at wimbledon. but yes, the match not going the way people would have hoped. even so, we saw a great display of sportsmanship by both men and a real sense that they respect and admire each other both as professionals and as acquaintances, people who know each other and run into each other all the time and the crowd seemed to show its appreciation for the way they conducted the match. yes, when marin cilic resumed after the break when he was in tears, there was huge applause from the crowd, just willing him on to keep going in the match and he managed to battle

through. federer stayed focused throughout. it was clear at that point in time he was going to go on and win, you wouldn't have put your money on cilic at that point. they played five set last year, cilic won the first to and federer came back in five sets to win. so much admiration on the court but today the match was not as tight as people would have hoped for. there was british interests on the court at the moment, heather watson is on court defending her mixed doubles title, and she used against another brit, jamie murray who is teamed up with martina hingis. some british interest left here today and we had some success interest left here today and we had some success earlier, jordanne whiley with her partner winning the women's doubles title, the wheelchair doubles title of course, for a fourth consecutive time, so something for british fans to cheer.

yes, absence of andy murray today but his brother and others making up for it. thank you and we will have the scores as the evening progresses. tougher sentences for people convicted of acid attacks are to be considered as part of a government review. the latest official figures suggest there were more than 400 assaults involving corrosive substances in england and wales in the six months to april. here's our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw. the effects can be devastating. this is 21—year—old resham khan after acid was thrown at her through a car window while she waited at traffic lights. her cousin jameel muhktar also suffered severe burns in the attack in east london last month. a man has been charged with grievous bodily harm with intent. attacks like this appear to be on the increase. police provided data for acid attacks between last november and april this year. 408 incidents were recorded by police in 39 forces. the most commonly used substances

were bleach, ammonia and acid. one in five offenders was younger than 18, where the age of the suspect was known. the home secretary, amber rudd, has now ordered a review to ensure that everything possible is being done to prevent acid attacks. life sentences in the most serious cases are already available. the home office wants perpetrators to feel the full force of the law. a lot of victims have said that really their life has been ruined, so why aren't there life sentences? so to really make sure that the whole system really responds urgently and thoroughly to this appalling crime, and at the heart of everything we do must be the victim. the review will also examine whether the 1972 poisons act should be widened to cover more substances. retailers will be consulted about measures to restrict sales of harmful chemicals. customers may have to provide proof of their age. in the latest attacks on thursday

night, five moped riders in london were allegedly targeted in the space of 90 minutes. a 16—year—old boy has been charged and will appear in court tomorrow. british politics is at a "dangerous moment" because of the abuse and intimidation of mps, according to the chairman of the committee on standards in public life. lord bew told bbc radio 4's the westminster hour that new laws may be necessary to protect politicians. emma vardy reports. during an hour—long debate last week, mps described how they faced physical intimidation and threats during the general election campaign from supporters of rival parties. we are talking about mindless abuse. labour's diane abbott said she had a torrent of racist and sexist abuse including death threats. the conservative simon hart said colleagues were targeted by people intent on driving them out

of politics altogether. in an interview for tonight's westminster hour on radio 4, lord bew says today's heightened levels of abuse, particularly via the internet, may turn people off from standing for parliament or in local elections. it is particularly difficult to see what can be done about social media. we cannot afford to lose people of quality in our political life. we may be approaching a tipping point. this is a dangerous moment. we do not want to slide down a path, which was the case here in northern ireland for decades, of a culture of intimidation. he added that while public debate must be vigorous it must avoid what he called the tinge of nastiness and hatred that he said had emerged in more recent times. he said not enough had been done to condemn abusive behaviour by some activists during the general election and the new laws could be considered to protect candidates. the headlines on bbc news:

chancellor philip hammond has criticised cabinet colleagues for briefing against him and defends his position on public sector pay. the new doctor who is a woman for the first time. jodie whittaker, who starred in the itv drama broadchurch, will take overfrom peter capaldi next year. acid attack offenders could face life sentences as a new review looks into classifying corrosive substances as dangerous weapons. thousands of opposition demonstrators in poland

are protesting outside parliament in warsaw againstjudicial reforms that one of their leaders has called a coup d'etat. the new legislation gives parliament control over the body that nominatesjudges. critics of the legislation, passed by the senate yesterday, say that it will erode the independence of the judiciary and undermine democracy in poland and accuse the government of a coup. let's speak to our correspondent. we have had protests before, at one point we had the opposition party practically besieging parliament itself in protest at other reforms s0 itself in protest at other reforms so this is kind of an ongoing saga about how the party in power has been conducting itself since it won elections just over a year ago now. yes, i've been going to demonstrations outside parliament for the past 18 months against this government. the people who were demonstrating outside the polish parliament today, as in the past, believe the governing law and justice party is essentially eroding

democratic checks and balances, eroding the rule of law through a series of changes, a series of legislative reforms in those 18 months which is culminating at the moment with these judicial reforms you mentioned, which will give the justice minister, who is already very influential and powerful in terms of ease the prosecutor general in this country and has a large sway over prosecutions, he will get political control of the body that nominates judges. political control of the body that nominatesjudges. they are political control of the body that nominates judges. they are saying we don't want law and justice to have the tools to be able to appoint their own judges the tools to be able to appoint their ownjudges to the tools to be able to appoint their own judges to position as heads of courts, appeal courts, in the supreme court, the highest court in the land, and for them, the people protesting here today, this

is just the latest set of reforms they feel is eroding democracy in parliament. first of all it was the law and justice party taking control of the constitutional tribunal they said, then the tv and radio, then the civil service, and now it is the judicial system so there is real concern for the people who have been demonstrating for these 18 months. this law and justice government is against liberal democracy, and there is real concern that almost 30 years since the end of communism in parliament, that the people are taking to the streets because they feel they need to fight to save democracy. it has got to that extent for those people who have taken to the street. you mentioned 30 years ago, that great iconic figure in

polish recent history has come out and criticised a lot of what is going on now but in truth if parliament has passed this law, is there much they can do about it? they can go out on the streets in large numbers and hope... their last hope at the moment is the president. the president has two signees bills into law. there isn't much hope that there demonstration will change his mind. the president is a lawyer but he was once a member of the law and justice party and has given no sign that he's opposed to reforms. thank you. eight people have died and at least 49 have been injured after a wall collapsed at a football stadium in senegal. it happened in the capital, dakar, at the end of a league cup final. the wall collapsed after fighting between rival fans and the use of tear gas by police. tom donkin reports.

after a tightly fought football league final ended in a draw, it was the winning goal in extra time that turned passion into panic. the final whistle ignited running battles between the rival fans of the two teams. stones were hurled across the stands and police are prompted to act. tear gas was used to break up the violence. amid the white clouds and chaos, this wall collapsed under the weight of bodies, the incident happened too quickly for emergency services to help many. translation: all of a sudden when the wall fell, and really it was a mess, everyone was crying, we knew that some of our own had lost their lives because the wall fell directly onto people. translation: what i find terrible is that we have this kind of final in this kind of stadium here where there is not enough security. deadly stampedes at football matches have been commonplace on the continent.

safety standards have long been criticised. with an election due later this month, leaders have been quick to call for answers and to seek punishment those responsible. the president has suspended campaigning out of respect for victims of the tragedy that should've been a dream when the one team but became a nightmare for both. it's being called new york's summer of hell — the delays for tens of thousands of commuters as urgent repairs are carried out at penn station, the busiest transport hub in america. it's part of a nationwide problem. donald trump has promised to be an infrastructure president, but new yorkers are complaining he's not doing enough for them, as nick bryant reports. it's a city of shimmering skyscrapers and evermore

rusting infrastructure. where commuter trains move in slow motion, where some of the overhead lines that power them are more than 100 years old. the country's busiest rail route in the northeast corridor relies on bridges based on designs popularised in britain during the industrial revolution. and this is america's fastest train, which slows to an embarrassing five miles per hour on the approach to new york. routinely, they come to a complete halt because track closures reduce this network to a single usable line. it is horribly embarrassing, especially when i have clients from overseas. it is almost a third world country when it comes to infrastructure. the rail tunnels into new york are in such a bad state of repair it is feared they may be forced

to close before new ones are built. we got a rare glimpse inside the nerve centre of the rail network underneath penn station and it felt like industrial archaeology. the tunnel was opened to service when the wright brothers switched from their model a flyer to the model b flyer. time to build a new tunnel? it is definitely time to build a new tunnel. new york's penn station has been hit by a series of derailments, earning it the nickname pain station, and that has prompted the urgent repair programme of the so—called summer of hell. there's absolutely a crisis of infrastructure here. everything behind me relies on tunnels that are over 100 years old. they flooded during superstorm sandy and they are starting to go out on a regular basis. there is really a possibility that we are going to lose the connection under the hudson river for the northeast corridor, and then see what happens when almost 100,000 people every day have to find a new way to get to and from work.

donald trump has promised to be the infrastructure president, but the recent spending bill that he pushed through congress actually reduced funding for two major transportation projects — the tunnels and improvements to the subway system — that his hometown desperately needs. it is a nationwide problem. more than 55,000 bridges across the country are structurally deficient. making america great again requires modernising its antique infrastructure. venezuelans are due to cast their ballots in an unofficial referendum called by the country's opposition. the vote, which is not recognised by the government, was called in response to president nicolas maduro's plan to elect delegates to a new national assembly later this month. the opposition has called the move "anti—democratic". our correspondent katy watson reports. ahead of sunday's referendum,

several foreign observers arrived, prepared to monitor the vote. they were met byjoyful opposition supporters. translation: i bring the message from mexico that this cannot continue. you cannot kill young people in the streets with impunity. you cannot violate a congress which has its own life and independence. the president's plans to elect his own assembly has angered millions. mr maduro says it is the only way to head off the economic crisis facing the country. opponents say it is anti—democratic. that it is a way for the president to hold onto power. many people say they will not take part in the election at the end of the month.

the referendum is asking people whether they want this constituent assembly in the first place. we will take to the streets again to tell them we do not want this. we do not want a constituent assembly. the government has no backing and people have turned against them. scenes like this have become normal in venezuela. growing food shortages in a country which was once oil—rich. this is a communist regime. it is like cuba. i have come from queueing and nothing arrives. they are going to shops in areas where people support the government, in order to buy votes. the crisis is showing no signs of easing. over 100 people have died and over 1,500 people injured. sunday's vote will not solve anything but the opposition hoped to

heap pressure on the government any which way it can. an international robotics competition for young people starts monday in washington. it's called the "first global challenge" and aims to help young people excel in stem subjects — science, technology, engineering and mathematics. high schools from all over the world will compete for over six weeks to build game—playing robots. one of the teams had a trickier route to the finals than most. rejected for visas after two rounds of interviews and banned from entering the united states, these young women never gave up entering the united states, these young women never gave up the fight to achieve their dream. after an exhausting flight, a team of six afg ha n exhausting flight, a team of six afghan girls landed in washington on saturday to represent their country ina saturday to represent their country in a global high school robotics competition. on monday they compete

against more than 160 countries to build robots that can hit balls into goals, hang on bars and balance on balance beams. they have been denied entrance of the country due to strict visa policies introduced by donald trump. the case has become a flash point in the debate about mr trump's efforts. critics said it was emblematic of a broader effort to stop muslims entering the country, but an extraordinary last—minute reversal was announced on wednesday when it was reported the president personally intervened. a homeland security department spokesperson said a request for their entry along with a chaperone had been approved. ivanka trump, advocate and supporter of women in science, tweeted her congratulations. the girls were thrilled to be taking part. the president of the united states and the people of america supported us in this case which shows they have

not forgotten us. this showed nothing is impossible and everything is possible if we have facilities and opportunities. for the people of afghanistan, the inclusion of these girls represents far more than entry toa girls represents far more than entry to a science competition. in a country where girls face significant limitations in their education as well as in their personal lives, there is now hope for the future. the technology entrepreneur elon musk has warned that the development of artificial intelligence has become the greatest risk faced by human civilisation. he made the comments at a gathering of us lawmakers, arguing that politicians should start taking the threat seriously. greg dawson reports. he's hardly a man you could accuse of being afraid of technology. in the future, elon musk wants to develop space rockets to send people

to mars. in the present his pioneering driverless cars but during his appearance at a governing —— gathering, he spoke about fears for a time when machines outsmart the humans who control them. for a time when machines outsmart the humans who control themlj for a time when machines outsmart the humans who controlthem. i think we should be really concerned about it. i keep sounding the alarm bell but until people see robots going down the street killing people, they don't know how to react because it seemed so ethereal. and i think we should be really concerned about al. the doctor, it is the doctor. for decades, the idea of robots threatening human life has belonged to the realm of science fiction but elon musk says it's highly likely to evolve into fact. the robots can do everything better than us, i mean all of us. yeah. i'm not sure

exactly what to do about this!|j all of us. yeah. i'm not sure exactly what to do about this! i am sofia. anything else? a glimpse into the future was showcased this week ata the future was showcased this week at a tech conference in hong kong with a robotics company displaying models that talk and even sing. disturbing, maybe, but not threatening. elon musk admits he doesn't have the answer to keep mankind safe but said it should start with lawmakers proactively regulating artificial intelligence before it is too late. i'm not sure what i think of that, the singing or the facial expressions. justin trudeau has met abiejustin, son expressions. justin trudeau has met abie justin, son of expressions. justin trudeau has met abiejustin, son of syrian refugees named after his full name as a thank you to their adopted country. the

two—month—old boy seemed happy to fall asleep in the prime minister's arms when he held on at an event in alberta. baby arms when he held on at an event in alberta. ba by justin was arms when he held on at an event in alberta. babyjustin was born in may several months after his parents fled from damascus because of the war in syria. they do get a few good presents over the coming years. now let's get the weather. were whether underway this week, and a cooler night this week. this evening were still have a chance of a few showers next to a strip of cloud in southern england and east anglia. overnight we continue with cloud and rain in north—west scotland and a brisk breeze. overnight most places like dry with clear skies and temperatures lower than this away from towns and city centres. don't be fooled by the cool start tomorrow because in widespread sunshine that amateur will head up quickly. still cloud at pics of rain in the

northern isles with her risk of breeze. the sun during his either further south you are, but for most it is light winds, sunny, and becomes warm to very warm with temperatures widely in the low 20s by monday afternoon. beyond monday, it is hard for some on tuesday but by the end of tuesday, into wednesday, some thundery showers arriving. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: the chancellor philip hammond has said public sector workers' generous pensions mean

they receive a "premium" — but he refused to repeat newspaper reports that he called them overpaid. public sector workers on average are paid about 10% more than private sector workers. relative to private sector workers. relative to private sector workers, adding overpaid? they are paid about a 10% premium. she is the doctor. the lead part for doctor who has been revealed as jodie whittaker. she takes over from the present doctor, peter capaldi, at the end of the year. roger federer has won the men's singles title at wimbledon for a record eighth time, after defeating marin cilic in straight sets. mps are considering tougher sentences for people convicted of acid attacks after there were more than 400 offences in england and wales

in the six months to april. it's been one of those afternoons. with all the sport, including tennis, it's will. it is still going on. yes, the cricket still going on, the grand prix, and that wimbledon final. roger federer cruising to a record—breaking eighth wimbledon title. he beat marin cilic by 3 sets to love in the final. it wasn't a classic final, but i'm sure just like it wasn't a classic final, but i'm surejust like a it wasn't a classic final, but i'm sure just like a lot of fans, thinking it is the result that most people wanted. yes, many of the fans had a golden ticket to centre court today would have been hoping to

witness a slice of history, and the great roger federer duly delivered. he sealed an eighth and build on title here, that's a record, going one clear of pete sampras, and by winning he becomes the oldest man to winning he becomes the oldest man to win wimbledon in the open era. it was not the battle many anticipated. he beat the seventh seed marin cilic rather comfortable in straight sets. on centre court, one man is most at home. when you play roger federer here, you face the thousands who adore him, going for a record eighth wimbledon title. on this court, there are two kinds of royalty. at 35, he is still at his peak. a two—month break earlier this year has kept on swift on his feet. with the racket there is the same artistry. and in the tension of the opening exchanges, federer had the power to break through. he has ripped it crosscourt. it was tough to ta ke ripped it crosscourt. it was tough to take for marin cilic. one said

down, already feeling the strain. he is having a bit of horror now. falling apart a bit. in his first win the final, it became too much to bear. with the weight of expectation back home, marin cilic was facing a torrent. you want the ground to open up torrent. you want the ground to open up and swallow you in situations like that. but great champions have no time for sympathy. federer was ruthless heading the second set. marin cilic put up more of a fight in the third, but already this looked inevitable. 18 grand slams later, the swiss has the same thirst for success. the perfect title sealed without dropping a set. what a champion here at wimbledon. the first man to win eight championships. and now his time to show emotion. wimbledon's record—breaker, and unquestionably king of this court. an eighth title for him needs as much as the first.

i wasn't sure if i would ever be here again in our finals after last year for stop i had some tough ones here, losing to novak djokovic. but i was believed i could come back and do it again, and if you believe you can go really far in your life, and i think can go really far in your life, and ithinkl can go really far in your life, and i think i did that. i'm happy i kept on believing and dreaming, and here lam on believing and dreaming, and here i am today. with the eighth, it's fantastic. no andy murray orjohanna konta in finals week, a fantastic win in the wheelchair doubles finals, they won against the second seeds from holland. they came back from a set down to wait in three for the fourth straight year. fantastic for them. and on centre court at the moment there is more british interest as heather watson along with her partner try to defend their title in the mixed doubles final. they play

britain's jamie murray has teamed up with martina hingis. so far the one set down against murray and martin angus. so still plenty of interest for the british fans here today. thanks. lewis hamilton led from start to finish to win the british grand prix at silverstone. the ferrari driver suffered a puncture — solace in 50 years ago, scotsman won the british grand prix for a fifth time.jim the british grand prix for a fifth time. jim clark, surrounded by wonder and flowers. now anyone who comes here can experience every curve, comes here can experience every curve , every comes here can experience every curve, every straight. but only one could really fear howard clark felt. lewis hamilton started with the same view, everyone behind him, but watch the rear—view mirror. kimi raikkonen

try to overtake. not so fast. off when hamilton. sebastian vettel, the leader in the standings, had been caught, but charge back full of adrenaline. formula 1 does dodgems. he wants to play bumper cars! sebastian vettel eventually passed on, but hamilton was over the horizon. the only question was whether he could get in and out the pits still ahead. he could. no one would get near him, but his position would get near him, but his position would improve. kimi raikkonen was beaten to second, and the lead was about to deflate. we went from third to seventh. lewis hamilton could hardly have had a better day. to seventh. lewis hamilton could hardly have had a better daym to seventh. lewis hamilton could hardly have had a better day. it is amazing to be appear. so proud to see these flags everywhere, and the supporters return has been immense. i'm proud i could do this for you all. thank you for the support pushing us, the team was faultless this weekend. it is a perfect return for us. these bands have just seen

history, the resulta nt‘s for us. these bands have just seen history, the resultant‘s fifth grand prix win, his fourth in a row, and what's more the title race is definitely on. only one point stands between hamilton and vettel. sebastien, beware, he is catching. south africa dominated the test against england. for even's captain this was a first real test of strength. joe root, new to thejob, his real test of strength. joe root, new to the job, his team real test of strength. joe root, new to thejob, his team in real test of strength. joe root, new to the job, his team in trouble and now was the moment to show his leadership. south africa already with a frustratingly, all the more so with a frustratingly, all the more so with moments like this. he should have been given out england's choose not to review it and would regret it. it was time for the skipper to step up and step in. whatever he said to ben stokes, it works. finally, a wicked. joe root was the

first to congratulate hezbollah. and as all captains know, one wicket often brings two. england still struggling, but at least something to cheer. but forjoe root and england, this was tough to watch. south africa's lead continued to grow and grow way beyond 400, and there is perhaps little any captain could do to save this. this is the latest from nottingham. the tourists 304—7. england's second innings still to come. britain's chris froome has retained the overall leader's yellow jersey after stage 15. he had a change of wheel and deal

with the hostile brewing home fans. he recovered brilliantly. but he was nowhere near today's stage winner who took his first—ever victory in the race. more importantly for chris froome, he retained the yellow jersey. he continues to lead, and tomorrow is a rest day. alan davies one is discus and britain's third gold medal of the championships. let's take you to the stadium. andy, gb are leading the medals table with 13 gold medals?- medals table with 13 gold medals?- medals so far. it has been impressive start the british team after that gold rush last night inside the stadium. another gold medal this morning for halep davies, one of the stars of london 2012 in the discus. such a consistent performer over the years, and he won

with a distance of 51.54 metres to claim the gold medal. his third world title, and he could yet win a second gold medal at these championships because next weekend he will compete in the shot put, the eventin he will compete in the shot put, the event in which he is the paralympic champion. he was lighted with this performance. i've worked so hard, i know what i'm capable of doing. i'm going in there at the moment, we're thinking, made with the crowd michael 55, who knows? you keep forgetting that a championship performance is a different kettle of fish. i'm just glad performance is a different kettle of fish. i'mjust glad i performance is a different kettle of fish. i'm just glad i got the w and the shop did. just looking ahead to this even, what do we have in store tonight? plenty for british fans to look

forward to this evening because it is the final of the men's team 44 100 metres. that meansjohnny peacock, the man who lit up the stadium five years ago in london 2012, he won another paralympic gold in rio last year. however, he missed the last championships two years ago through injury so ya something of a point to prove this evening. his biggest rival the american richard brown is not here, here is the world record—holder, but still plenty of competition. he will be looking out for the american jared wallace. competition. he will be looking out for the americanjared wallace. the heat sarath ten past seven in the finaljust heat sarath ten past seven in the final just before heat sarath ten past seven in the finaljust before nine p:m.. but also keep an eye
