england beat south africa by two wickets in a tense semi—final to reach the final of the women's cricket world cup. england restricted south africa tojust 218 in bristol, which looked like a comfortable target. but the home side lost wickets cheaply through the middle order and were five wickets down, still needing more than 70 to win. it went down to the final over of the match. this was the first ball anya shrubsole faced, but she smashed it through the covers for a boundary to take england to the world cup final at lord's. at the women's european championship, france left it late to beat iceland in their first group c game. the french were one of the pre—tournament favourites, but needed a penalty from eugenie le sommer to give them victory with less than five minutes remaining. elsewhere in group c, austria beat switzerland i—o. nina burger with the goal after 15 minutes. england goalkeeperjoe hart has
10:33 pm
completed a loan move to west ham from manchester city for a season. the 30—year—old had been told by city boss pep guardiola he could find another club after spending last season with italian side torino. there's no option to buy him in the deal, and if west ham want hart next summer, they'll have to bid for him like any other club. west ham have also agreed a deal with stoke city for the signing of austria forward marko arnautovic. the hammers had already seen two bids rejected, but it's understood stoke have now accepted a fee in the region of £24 million. antonio conte has signed a new two—year contract with chelsea. the italian guided the club to the premier league title in his first season at stamford bridge. conte is currently preparing to take his squad to china and singapore on their preseason tour of asia, where

they'll face arsenal, bayern munich and inter milan. three—time winner chris froome is still in charge of the leader's yellow jersey at the tour de france. it took a photo finish, but stage 16 was claimed by the australian michael matthews, his second stage win. froome retains his 18—second lead over italy's fabio aru, with just five stages remaining. very exciting. johanna konta says she has massive room for improvement despite reaching the wimbledon semi—final and fourth in the world rankings. the british number one is taking a short break before preparing for the us open in august. konta is the first british woman to reach the last four of the all england club in 39 years. interestingly, these championships and this time around, where i managed to get far in a grand slam, at home at wimbledon, i actually felt i did a reasonablejob with my team,
10:35 pm
and also myself, on almost digesting it as it went along with each match. i felt i really appreciated each day and each experience i got. i was very fortunate, i got such great matches and a few battles during this year's wimbledon. emotionally, it was an incredible experience. i got to play in front of a home crowd, who were so supportive and living every single point with me. which is quite overwhelming. it's quite an experience when you have thousands of people cheering for you in quite an intimate setting. i think, emotionally, i digested it, definitely, after every event, but especially at a slam, if you are fortunate to make it to the latter stages, it is tiring, so i definitely enjoyed relaxing a bit and trying to switch off.
10:36 pm
a quieter night for the british team at the world para athletics, no medals but sophie kamlish did receive her gold medalfor her win in the 100 metres last night and she caught up with our reporter kate grey before the medal was handed out. sophie kamlish, a world champion but you are quite a creative and artistic soul as well. bit of a challenge for you. can you show us what you can do was have a few things in front of you here, stadium, orbit, what can you do for us? i might be able to do a bit of the stadium, but not a lot of it because there are a lot of straight lines. straight lines running, not drawing? yeah. 0k. i have always just like drawing, really. if i feel stressed, which is a rare occurrence, i can draw really. if i feel stressed, which is a rare occurrence, i can draw it away, really. lasted, istarted

10:38 pm
the 100 metres. you are not the average sprinter, are you? you are creative, and you have taken yourself away from the hype of sprinting. you are very much an individual when it comes to training and how you approach sport. you could describe me as an introvert. i like to keep myself to myself quite a bit. i am fine reading or drawing on my own. i get really tired out by being around loads of people for a long time. what is your greatest strength as an athlete, and how you approach sport? i don't know. maybe try not to take it too seriously. it is about having fun. ijust it too seriously. it is about having fun. i just had it too seriously. it is about having fun. ijust had to run as fast as i can. fab drawings. we told you yesterday about the torment of open water swimmerjack burnell, as he struggled to move past the disappointment of disqualification at the

rio 0lympics. well, there's been more heartache for him today, he finished fourth in the 10—kilometre race at the world aquatics championships in budapest. nick hope was there for us. jack bernal says he has been through a roller—coaster of emotions over the last 12 months, through what he describes as a devastating 0lympic result when he was disqualified in the closing stages of the ten comedy event. in budapest this week, he was hoping to write some of the reopen wrongs, but it didn't turn out that way. the 24—year—old lead after a comet and was well placed in second at halfway, but was outsprinted to the finish. today's result has left him doubting whether he had a future in the sport. this isn't a sport that you can double in and out. it is four years of training. to do that, it takes a lot. it takes a lot out of me, my family, my friends, the team. so i need to assess whether i want to go through that again or not. meanwhile at the diving venue, there was a shock as gb's champion failed to
10:40 pm
make it through to the ten metre platform semifinals. robin birch did fa re better platform semifinals. robin birch did fare better though. the london based either the trains alongside tom daley made it to the semifinals. the 23—year—old couldn't quite progress with a top 12 finish, which she needed for a place in the final. but 16th was a good result on her world debt view. it has been a good learning experience for me, competing against these divers and see how their training is. ifeel it has been an honour, really. on wednesday, the pick of the action to look out for comes in the men's individual springboard event. jack law is the olympic champion in the synchronised, and is decent in the individual event as well. he got silver in rio, and could go one better here at the world championships. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:41 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are broadcaster and campaigner, henry bonsu and the former trader minister, lord digbyjones. a warm welcome to both of you, thank you for being with us. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the telegraph reports of a gender pay gap within the bbc, as the salary of the corporation's top—earning presenters are set to be revealed. the mail also has that story, saying the corporation will name nearly 100 stars who are paid more than the prime minister. the i also leads on bbc pay, it says two—thirds of the broadcasters' top—paid stars are men. the guardian reports that theresa may has been told to sack

the saboteurs within her cabinet, by the conservatives influential committee of backbench mps. the times reports on what it calls "rip—off credit card fees", which are set to be banned, which is says could save shoppers million pounds a year. the metro reports on an ongoing court case involving a police helicopter allegedly used to film people having sex and sunbathing naked. the express leads on a study that claims that avoiding the so—called middle—aged spread dramatically reduces the risk of diabetes. and the ft examines today's unexpected drop in inflation, which saw the pound slightly fall against the dollar on the news. we will talk in more detail about some of those stories, but let's kick off with the telegraph, henry, the bbc‘s gender pay gap revealed. the bbc is a beacon of equality and
10:43 pm
diversity, but it appears that when it comes to the pay differentials between men and women, it is failing badly. 0ut between men and women, it is failing badly. out of the 96 top names are earning more than the prime minister, more than £150,000, 62, and two thirds are male. this is an embarrassment to the bbc, which doesn't want to see itself as a sexist organisation, and is preparing itself for a backlash from female presenters in current affairs, sport, entertainment and drama. but also from the public, it is public money, we pay the licence fee. it does say that the bbc needs to go further and fast on issues of gender, but it is certainly doing better than other broadcasters. gender, but it is certainly doing better than other broadcastersm is doing better, but because the bbc feels it owns... the public feels it
10:44 pm
owns the bbc, that is why it has to respond in ways that sky, itv and other broadcasters don't feel they have two. it employs more people. in its heyday, 28,000, now it is down to 19,000. it is under pressure on pay, race, diversity, lenny henry was in polymer today saying we need better targets not just for was in polymer today saying we need better targets notjust for people in front of the camera, but behind the camera. —— was in parliament today. a lot of women in this, people will look at them brown, i am is experienced, why is he paid more than a? is this a debate worth having? i applaud the bbc, for instance, of bringing it on for us to talk about tonight. that is a real quality decision to make, look at yourselves in public, and weld oi'i. at yourselves in public, and weld on. “— at yourselves in public, and weld on. —— well done. some of the matters will be lost in translation,
10:45 pm
don't let the facts get in the way ofa don't let the facts get in the way of a good story. it is fair to say, let me pick some names, if you have john humphrys or hugh edwards, that sort of quality, and experience, and a long time in the job, different parts of what you would call journalism, i can see why that by, i don't know what he is paid, i will find out tomorrow. but i can see why he is going to be paid a lot more thana
