chris froome toasts victory, as he wins the tour de france for the fourth time. good evening. the director general of the bbc, tony hall, says work is already under way, to tackle the gender pay gap at the corporation. his comments come after some of the bbc‘s best known female personalities signed an open letter calling for urgent action. the presenters claire balding, fiona bruce and jane garvey are among the more than a0 signatories. our media correspondent david sillito reports. alexjones of the one show, mishal husain and sue barker, more than a0 of the most famous female presenters at the bbc, calling on the corporation to act

now to end its gender pay gap. good morning, friends, thanks for tuning in... that list was the trigger for the letter today, publishing the bbc‘s highest—paid stars. in the top 20 names was only one woman. the best paid men were being paid more than twice what the top women were earning. this open letter to the papers said that this week's annual report confirmed what many have long suspected, that women were being paid less than men for the same work. 0n the whole, i think it is fantastic that so many wonderful women have been prepared to put their head above the parapet. we've got stick, we knew we would get stick, that was why it would never be an easy thing to do. but it isn'tjust about, in fact it is not about getting whacking great pay rises for women who are already well paid. it is about pay parity and getting fairness for everybody. the letter today says that the bbc has known about the pay

disparity for years, "we want to go on record to call upon you to act now." women's hour... when programmes such as women's hour went on air 60 years ago, equal pay for equal work was a pressing issue. the fact it remains an issue despite law changes in the 19605 and 70s after pressures from the women's movement is a sign of how tough it is to find quick solutions. attitudes about age and experience and authority affect the pay divide, but it is also worth noting that in the top 20 there is not a single black or asian presenter. it comes at a time where the bbc is facing opposition over plans to change terms and conditions for the rest of staff, who are paid a fraction of what any star gets. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn says this taps into a wider issue of fairness and pay. this gender pay gap is appalling, we would insist on a strong gender pay audit of every organisation,

and we would also look at a 20—1 ratio between the chief executive and lowest paid staff in every public sector organisation. in response, the bbc said today the overall pay gap is 10%, less than the national average of 18% but it needed to go further and faster to close the pay gap. meanwhile, the government's equalities minister said that if anything showed the value of their new regulations requiring firms to reveal pay gaps, it was this. i think it's impossible not to be shocked, to be honest, at just how different some of those differentials were. and, of course, this is the whole reason why we brought forward these regulations, because as much as anything else, transparency is demonstrating to organisations that it's a

reputational issue. in response, the bbc said today its overall pay gap is 10%, less than the national average of 18%, but it needed to go further and faster to close the pay gap. the corporation's director—general says he's confident next year's figures will look very different. david sillito, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent, alex forsyth. the politicians are now getting involved. what do you think are the possible wider ramifications of this bbc row? several senior politicians have now condemned the difference between what the highest—paid men and women at the bbc on. you heard justine greening who called at staggering, and the prime minister theresa may, who said last week the bbc had to look at this whole question of what its men and women who are doing the same job. this has implications beyond the bbc. in april this year, the bbc introduced a requirement for any company which employs more than 250 people to publish details of its gender pay 93p- publish details of its gender pay gap. they have to do that by april next year. so the next three months, we will see a spotlight on other organisations across different sectors. the governments hope is

that transparency and possibly the public pressure that will follow will force companies to address this, labour wants the government to ta ke this, labour wants the government to take more direct action. notjust on gender pay, but on the quality more broadly. particularly on the difference between what the highest and lowest paid people in an organisation on. what is clear that the bbc‘s revelations have sparked a much and long—running debate, one thatis much and long—running debate, one that is likely to continue for some time. prince william and prince harry, have spoken candidly about their relationship with their mother, princess diana, in a documentary marking the twentieth anniversary of her death. they describe her sense of fun, but also speak of their regret, that their last conversation with her, was a rushed phone call. 0ur royal correspondent nicholas witchell‘s report, contains some flash photography. to the watching world, she was the princess whose image appeared constantly on front pages. it was a glamorous but necessarily limited impression of the real person. now nearly 20 years after diana's death in the car accident in paris, her sons william and harry have spoken in an itv documentary

about diana, the mother who did so much to shape their childhood. we felt, you know, incredibly loved, harry and i. and i'm very grateful that that love still feels there. it was that love that even if she was on the other side of the room, as a son you could feel it. the person who emerges from william and harry's description is a woman with a strong sense of fun. when everybody says to me, you know, "so, she was fun, give us an example." all i can hear is her laugh in my head. and that sort of crazy laugh where there wasjust pure happiness shown on her face. one of her mottos to me was that you can be as naughty as you want, just don't get caught. and they talk about their mother's death.

they recall the last time they spoke to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction and how they coped with the week which culminated in herfuneral. as william himself has said, it is a tribute to diana from her sons in which they recall the woman they hope the world will remember. nicholas witchell, bbc news. a 20—year—old man has died in east london, after a confrontation in a shop with a policeman. cctv footage has emerged of the officer wrestling the man to the floor, in the store in hackney, early yesterday morning. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports from hackney. the moment when rashan charles ran into his local late—night shop in the early hours of saturday morning, pursued by a police officer. at first, the arrest was calm but then the officer threw him to the floor and grabbed him around the neck. later, he was joined by what appears to be a plainclothes officer. just over one hour later, rashan charles was declared dead

at the royal london hospital. the independent police complaints commission, which is examining his death, says an object was removed from his throat at the scene. as the cctv from the shop was viewed on social media by people in haggerston, there was a growing collection of flowers and candles today, and growing anger. pauline pearce, who became well—known for chastising rioters on camera in 2011, told me that she knew rashan well. he should be alive today, sitting in a cell somewhere able to tell his side of the story but instead he is laying in a morgue waiting for an autopsy, and waiting to be buried. we've got to pick up the pieces, the community has to pick up the pieces. many people visiting the shop and the neighbouring barbershop were clearly upset. i am angry, i am sad. i feel for his family and mother. i know him personally, it is disgusting. the death follows a similar incident last month,

also in east london — there is growing anger here that young men are dying during arrests, even when no weapons are involved. tonight, the always fragile trust in the police in this area is under intense strain. the parents of the terminally ill baby charlie gard, say they've suffered a backlash, after great 0rmond street hospital, which is treating their son, revealed its staff have received death threats. charlie's parents have been fighting a legal battle against the hospital, which wants to remove his life support because of his illness. 0ur reporter helena leejoins me now. what have charlie gard's parents been saying? as you say, this is in response to that great 0rmond street statement out last night, in which they said both doctors and nurses have been subjected to what it

called a shocking and disgraceful tide of abuse, both online and verbal abuse in the street. some of them death threats. so tonight, charlie's parents connie and chris have responded to that statement. they say they are extremely upset by the backlash, they say that they have received since that statement was put out. by backlash, we understand that to be online comments directed towards them. they say they have suffered the most hurtful comments from the public. connie, charlie's mother, says chris andi connie, charlie's mother, says chris and i arejust ordinary parents connie, charlie's mother, says chris and i are just ordinary parents were very sick baby. we simply have his best interests at heart. we do not, she says, and have not ever condoned any threatening or abusive remarks towards a ny any threatening or abusive remarks towards any staff members are great 0rmond street hospital. tomorrow, the case goes back to the high court. it starts at 2pm, the judge will look at new evidence, especially that meeting between the american doctor proposing the treatment and medical staff at the hospital. he is expected to give his decision on tuesday. many thanks.

the head of the powerful trade body, that represents german car makers, says a long transitional period after brexit is needed, otherwise jobs and investment in britain will be threatened. the president of the german automotive industry association accused the uk of abandoning pragmatism over the issue. here, the trade secretary, liam fox, has suggested a transitional deal could last three years. at least one person has died in a shooting at the israeli embassy in amman, the capital ofjordan. local police say a jordanian national was killed, and two people including an israeli were wounded. it's unclear what motivated the attack, but regional tensions have been heightened, after recent violence in jerusalem. the number of migrants arriving in greece is picking up again, putting increasing pressure on a country, still struggling economically. more than 8,000 people have arrived so far this year, down from the thousands who were turning up every week two years ago. but since then, a deal to deport failed asylum seekers back to turkey,

and the slow process of investigating cases, has led to a bottleneck in greece, and on the island of lesbos in particular. 0ur correspondent, mark lowen reports. a scene that's defined europe, played out almost daily for the last two years. staged, this time, by amnesty international, a message to europe by migrants trapped in greece or risking deportation to turkey. 11—year—old rania al—0baidi escaped mosul and so—called islamic state. for a year she was kept in moria migrant camp in lesbos. she's been moved, but the memories endure. they fight so much, yes, and i see three people dead in my eyes. they have fight and they're dead. and i see so much blood. i see everything in moria. i see everything and i see mosul. scarring the olive groves of lesbos, moria now holds around 3000 migrants.

it's stretched and beset with problems. this footage obtained by the bbc appears to show police violence during recent rioting. some migrants burnt tents and threw stones. they're beaten by guards. 0ne escapes but a policeman goes to any length to stop him. the poor conditions and incessant wait for asylum applications are fuelling the rage. eddie mangai guy says he fled congo as a political prisoner. the daily struggle here defies the empty slogans. makeshift games pass the time. "greeks saved us when we were in the water," he says. "may god bless them for it." "but now the syrians are getting papers and we aren't." "we're in a prison here." "we need free movement in greece." the one tap is out in the bush.

greece, still in financial crisis, forced to bear the brunt of the migrant one. the number of new arrivals is a fraction of what it was and the media has somewhat moved on but the problem persists. crowds of migrants in an increasingly permanent camp battling long asylum procedures. thousands stuck here in greece, caught in europe's forgotten crisis. we get self harming. we get drunkenness, drug addictions, things that we didn't used to see here. obviously i think are directly the results of the depression and frustration. and to be honest, the greeks, i know they feel frustrated and they feel abandoned. the island feels abandoned by the mainland and all of greece feels abandoned by the eu. europe's most bankrupt country has become its waiting room. lives are on hold here and greece is overwhelmed. it's an explosive mix. mark lowen, bbc news, in lesbos. now, it's been a big day for sport, from the tour de france,

to the open, to a dramatic world cup win for england's women cricketers. so let's join natalie pirks at lords. 0nly only one place to start... england have won the women's cricket world cup for a fourth time. it was a sell out at lords for their final against india and there was a thrilling finish. anya shrubsole won the match for them taking six wickets. david 0rnstein reports. there was a time when women's cricket barely even registered with many sports fans. now you can't keep them away. almost 27,000 would fill lord's. millions more watching around the world, only a match yet so much more. england won the toss and opted to bat but the loss of sarah taylor handed india the impetus. if this was an advert for the women's game nat sciver was providing the promotional material, though elsewhere runs were in

supply and even when england looked to kick on, moments of indian magic checked their momentum. chasing 229 to win, india looked to be cruising and at one point needed just 38 runs with seven wickets in hand. but england dared to dream and clawed their way back from a seemingly irretrievable position. alex hartley and anya shrubsole did the damage. shru bsole taking six wickets in a devastating spell that broke india and guided england to glory. a breathtaking end to a truly ground—breaking tournament. pure elation, i think. i always think it is better winning when you are all out there in the field because you've got your team—mates around you. this world cup really has been a team effort. people have chipped in a long the way. we have fought our way through some games, haven't necessarily won the prettiest at times but tournament cricket is all about winning, it's not necessarily about how you win, it's just getting over the line. so, england win the world cup. it's not often you can say that. this, though, is a victory not only for them but for women's

cricket too, and perhaps even a seminal moment for women's sport. david 0rnstein, bbc news, at lord's. britain's chris froome has won the tour de france for the fourth time, after completing the largely ceremonialfinal stage in paris. the team sky rider is now second in the all—time list following his third successive victory. our sports news correspondent richard conway reports. a formidable performance has delivered tour de france number a for chris froome. from early on, fans clambered to gain any vantage point they could find on the champs elysees, sensing they were about to watch one of the tour's greatest—ever competitors. i think this one could take five times. it's incredible for a british cyclists to have achieved four, well hopefully, four tour de france wins today. when you compare it to any other sporting achievements, he would be knighted without a question. this victory was not achieved

in isolation, though. champagne on the road into paris today, enjoyed by a team that worked hard to give their leader yet another vintage year. and once across the finish line, chris froome drank it all in. an incredible feeling to ride on the champs elysees, even after having done it three times previously, it doesn't diminish it at all. still, all the same emotions are here. i mean, it'sjust, it's incredible. absolutely incredible. meanwhile, thoughts are already turning to 2018. i think he's already thinking about the next year, i guess. if he could have a fifth win it would be nice but of course it does mean he has to enter. god save the queen rings out on the champs elysees for the fifth time in six years and chris froome, at the age of 32, with four titles under his belt, he says he's not done yet. we could be hearing that for many years to come.

richard conway, bbc news, paris. there was final round drama at the open championship. jordan speith threw away a three shot overnight lead but the american clung on for his third major title. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports from royal birkdale. the history book will show he won comfortably. you must bejoking. for most of his round, jordan spieth seemed a man in meltdown. his overnight lead, unlike his putt, soon vanished. but at the 13th, it was head in hands time. a drive so bad, he ended up playing it from the practice ground. he now trailed matt kuchar but having seemingly thrown the open away, speith sensationally seized it back. three birdies and an eagle, the worst to the best in barely the blink of an eye. finally, he could relax, as atjust 23, he became the 0pen‘s youngest winner

in nearly four decades. commentator: it's a royal performance at birkdale. but talk about doing it the hard way. a dramatic and at times chaotic finale then, but it forjordan spieth, eventually the perfect result. andy swiss, bbc news, royal birkdale. there were more medals today for team gb in the world para athletic championships in london. sammi kinghorn won her second gold, in the t53100 metres to leave britain third overall, in the medal tables — as kate gray now reports. the greatest championships to date, with record—breaking performances and the usual suspects topping the podium but for some it was the first taste of glory. sammi kinghorn had never won a world title but this morning she raced to her second victory of the championship and britain's 18th gold overall. i had no idea. i literally had no idea when i crossed over the line. i heard the crowd scream so i thought — i've won a medal.

i saw my name popping up and i was like — really? it was amazing. i got off really hard, my start was good. i knew that was the biggest thing i had to work on from rio. i'm really glad it has all worked out. ten months on from britain's most successful pa ralympic games, the pressure was on the athletes to do it all over again here in london, and thanks to a little help from the home crowd, they certainly didn't disappoint. there is no doubt at all, when you have the home support, it makes the big difference. there may not have been sell—out crowds but it has far exceeded any previous para championships and for many of the british athletes it has been the highlight of their careers, creating new memories of london that will be hard to beat. at the women's european championship england have beaten spain 2—0. this late strike from jodie taylor sealed the win. they are top of group d and need a point from their final game

to reach the quarterfinals. erin cuthbert scored as scotland lost to portugal, but they can still reach the last eight with victory in their last group game. that's it for a very busy day of sport. looks like it will be a long night england's cricketers who are still celebrating in the pub next to me and quite right too. thank you, natalie. the world's first floating wind farm will soon be in place, off the coast of scotland. one of it's five huge turbines arrives at midnight, with the revolutionary technology, allowing the generation of power from strong sea winds, while it floats. it'll provide energy for 20,000 homes. our environment analyst roger harrabin, has been following the vast turbine's journey from norway to scotland. in the half—light of a summer night in norway, a landmark in the history of energy floats upright in the chilly water. these five towering turbines will

cross the north sea to scotland, to form the world's first large—scale floating wind farm. this is engineering on an absolutely gargantuan scale. what you can see is taller than big ben. but that's only part of it — there's a third more under the water, weighted heavily at the bottom with iron ore, to keep the thing floating stable in the water. the turbines will be tethered to the sea bed with thick mooring lines 15 miles off the coast of peterhead. being able to use floating offshore wind farms gives us much more flexibility when it comes to locating these farms around the world. but a note of caution among the enthusiasm. scientists warn that far more investment in additional new technologies is needed to combat climate change. this monumental kit comes dear,

but the price should fall. we think that this is a game changer, this project, for enabling us in the future to reduce the cost and develop wind farms without any subsidies. the first turbine is hauled from the fjord by tugs. it's nearly 12,000 tonnes of steel and ballast. each blade is as wide as the wingspan of an airbus. the power of engineers to capture wind energy at sea is growing far faster than anyone dreamed off. roger harrabin, bbc news, norway. that's it. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel, but do stay with us here on bbc one, it's now time for the news where you are. have a very good night. another one of those days where you

may have seen some sunshine but also heavy and torrential downpours in places. another view of the big threatening cloud on the distance from one of our weather watchers. still heavy showers out there this evening affecting parts of england and wales, the worst of those fading into the night. we keep outbreaks of rain affecting northern and pushing further south into the midlands. the clearer skies overnight will be across western areas with the odd patch, while most of us stay in double figures, some spots in the west under those clear skies will be dipping down into single figures. east—west split the monday. eastern areas keep plenty of cloud, some rates of rain, further to the west we have got brighter skies. that is how we start the day. sunny spells across the south west england and wales, but cloud outbreaks and rain through parts of the midlands, lincolnshire into yorkshire and north—east england. the other side of the pennines, some sunny spells. another fine day on the way for northern ireland on monday. and for

much of scotland, for some of us especially in the west it will turn out to be a very warm. through the day, outbreaks of rain affecting parts of central and eastern england. patchy in nature. if you brighter skies, some sunny spells. we could see the odd shop shower here. maybe low 20s. the cloud and rain alongside the north sea coast. maybe just 15 or rain alongside the north sea coast. maybejust 15 or 16 rain alongside the north sea coast. maybe just 15 or 16 degrees. the real warmth will be across the west, widely in the low 20s but some spots into the mid—20s. monday evening is shaping up like this, patchy rain in the far east, gradually clearing overnight as we take a look at the picture for tuesday. the odd shower around during the day, most places will have avoided those and stay dry. cloudy start, some pleasant sunny spells developing and some warmth around. still a bit cooler on the north coast. the gap between weather systems does not last long. the big picture for wednesday, another area of low pressure coming in from the atlantic. that will

spread rain right across the uk on wednesday, there will be a freshening wind with bands as well, once that has moved out of the way, fresh air. by thursday, sunshine and showers. another week of changeable weather, briefly warmer, especially early in the week. turning wet again on wednesday, india by then as well. —— windier by them.
