middle east peace and reinvigorating america's innovative spirit. every day, i come to work with enthusiasm and excitement for what can be. i have not sought the spotlight, first in business, and is now in public service. i have always focused on setting and achieving goals and have left it to others to work on media and public perception. since the first questions were raised in march, i have been consistent in saying that i was eager to share any information i have. with the investigating bodies, and i have done so today. the record and documents i have voluntarily provided will show that all of my actions were proper, and occurred in the normal course of events or they very unique campaign. let me be very clear. i did not collude with russia, nor do i know of anyone else

in the campaign who did so. i have no improper contacts, i have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. and i have been fully transparent in providing all requested information. donald trump had a better message and ran a smarter campaign. and that is why he won. suggesting otherwise ridicules those who voted for him. it is an honour to work with president trump and his administration as we take on the challenges that he was elected to face. creating jobs for american people, keeping america safe and eliminating barriers to achieving the american dream. thank you very much, andi the american dream. thank you very much, and i look forward to taking questions from the house committee tomorrow. thank you. jared kushner speaking there, the

latest from the swimming in budapest injust a moment but we have been reflecting today on a momentous achievement for england's cricketer‘s. women's world cup winners for a fourth time again after a nail—biting final against india at lords. let's speak to the skipper heather knight now. evening heather, you are a world champion! sounds good, doesn't it? what a day yesterday. absolutely loved it and delighted to come away with the tricky. did you enjoy last night? yeah, we did. we actually stayed at the ground for a while, in the dressing room. reflecting on the tournament and is obviously enjoying each other‘s company. my voice is a

bit hoarse this morning, as you can probably tell. i can hear! before we look ahead, worth reflecting on the match. india obviously beat you in your first match in the tournament, and they have been absolutely fantastic. and they pushed you all the way. just reflecting on that, restricting you to do hundred and 28 and first innings. what was it like the captain that game as we look at some of the pictures? it was tense. first of all was a brilliant game of cricket, credit to india. they pushed us really hard. it was quite nice that it came full circle, but got to play india after losing to them in the first game. yeah, i actually felt quite calm on the pitch. watching the batting was probably the most nervous i was all day. i felt like if probably the most nervous i was all day. ifelt like if we probably the most nervous i was all day. i felt like if we could stay in the game as long as possible, we we re the game as long as possible, we were in with a chance. the pressure chasing in a world cup final is never easy. anya shru bsole, chasing in a world cup final is never easy. anya shrubsole, what a speu never easy. anya shrubsole, what a spell that was to win us the game. exactly, when it goes to the last three overs you have to make those

decisions, whether you keep on the end. my word she came up with the goods. she went for 91 overs, and luckily took a wicket which commits me to keep on. thank god i did, because she bowled brilliantly. took place off the ball, really did win us place off the ball, really did win us the game. really chuffed for her. she did not start the tournament the way she wanted, she was out of rhythm and confidence. dizzy her grow throughout the tournament and put on a performance like that in a high—pressure situation and win us the game, i am massively chuffed for her. when you got back to your mobile devices and look through social media, the messages from friends and family, you will have picked out a few of them i'm sure. here to remind you of some of the m essa 9 es here to remind you of some of the messages that were coming your way. we have one from michael clarke, former aussie captain. not too many better feelings of the world, congratulations to england. how about this from freddie flintoff? amazing scenes at lord's, a proud englishman former player. could not

be happier. what about the current england captain, the men's captain, what a tournament. he has posted a brilliant picture you holding that tournament aloft. and what about theresa may as well? fantastic weekend for british sport, congrats to the england women's cricket team and chris froome. she puts him in the same sentence as you, heather, great to see you on top of the world. that is the thing. i think it was mark robins yoko chu said, women's cricket is getting the respect and the recognition it has deserved. they mentioned in the same sentence as the great things chris froome did over the weekend. crazy really to think about what has gone on over the last a0 hours i guess. i have not actually had a chance to sit down and look through the m essa 9 es sit down and look through the messages and relive the day. i'm sure i will do that over the next three days. we're just really thankfulfor three days. we're just really thankful for the support of everyone who has got behind us. it's the great tournament, as joe who has got behind us. it's the great tournament, asjoe said. brilliance to cap it off yesterday

with that sell—out at lord's. and lift the trophy, in front of the home fans. roll on the ashes. you head over there as world champions. we do. we have the kids super league first, about a week off to recharge and then head to australia for the ashes in october. what a tour it is set to be. i think australia are still number one side in the world, and obviously we have got the trivia but we will have a massive ashes series. we played a brilliant game against the aussies down in bristol, i'm sure there will be many more thrillers come this winter. cannot wait. heather knight, world champion, england skipper. many thanks indeed. the head of women's cricket in england and wales says that the world cup — and notjust england's win — is a game—changer for the sport in this country. for me the most inspiring thing about this tournament has been the number of girls and boys in crowds together, absolutely loving it. none

of these girls, and certainly my generation of players, did not have that. it was not normal. it gives us a huge platform in this country and globally. to continue to drive the women's game. in this country particularly, we will probably look back on it as a game changing tournament. 0bviously now it is incumbent upon us to make sure it is a game changing tournament. that is about participation and how this performance in front of a full house at lord's can inspire the next generation, to secure greater investment, to continue to drive the business case and the commercial viability of the sport, this cannot bea viability of the sport, this cannot be a one—off. winning after winning as we all know is very difficult. winning, i think, as we all know is very difficult. winning, ithink, can as we all know is very difficult. winning, i think, can be defined in lots of different ways. the vision i suppose is, we are... we want cricket to become a sport that is as releva nt for cricket to become a sport that is as relevant for women and girls as it is for men and boys. a brilliant day for women's cricket.

great britain have won two golds in the pool at the world aquatics championships in hungary. adam peaty has retained his world title in the 100 metres breastroke. he couldn't break his own world record... but he stormed home over a second clear of his rivals to secure great britains first gold in the pool in budapest. ross murdoch was also in the final but came last. peaty hasn't lost a major championship race in three years. andyjamieson and steve parry take up the commentary. commentator: look at him break away from the rest of the world. the world record is 57.13, 57.a7, just outside that. but goodness me, that was phenomenal. it is a sprint. great britain's allen pizzey has destroyed the best of the world,

absolutely obliterated them. two months after rio, it's going to be so hard to get back what i had there but i'm more than happy to come here and my title, and year after year now. i was a bit longer to the wall as well, but i'm so happy with that. was that the pace you plan to go out or do you think that excitement got you a bit tonight? i felt like a little boy again going out in a crowd. a world record for a reason, that performance at the olympics was just completely different to that swim. i was on target for it but ijust missed out. let's see what i can get tomorrow in the 50. let's get more from budapest now. speak to former 0lympic champion

beccy adlington who is working for bbc sport at the championships. he is invincible now? certainly is. he is invincible now? certainly is. he is invincible now? certainly is. he is back tomorrow in the 50 metre sprint where he will want to absolutely destroy his world record. he is completely and utterly dominant. with a ten, 11, 15 fastest times ever in history. he is rewriting the breaststroke as we know it. he has the top ten times in the breaststroke, he competed that in budapest over the semifinals. he has this project 56, hasn't he, to break 57. but he is in no hurry, looking ahead to tokyo in 2020. it's incredible maturity he has. especially this year, year after the 0lympic especially this year, year after the olympic games. they all take a bit of time out, he has moved clubs, even though he is still with the same coach. he has moved to

loughborough. he has had a lot of change this year, and mel c is the long—term goal, she's neverjust about the short term so it is all about the short term so it is all about that project 56. it will happen, it'sjust about that project 56. it will happen, it's just a about that project 56. it will happen, it'sjust a matter of about that project 56. it will happen, it's just a matter of when. if he keeps improving, he is not going to lose a race. he is that far ahead. he has got the best time and they do not want to stay still, there want to keep moving the boundaries. then no one will ever get near him. it really is brilliant. as we were still enjoying that, a real bonus tonight was an proud. tell us about him. —— ben proud. phenomenal. he burst onto the scene, his race this evening, we have talked about it a lot. he had all the tools, he just needed to get everything right. this was the perfect race. what a wonderful thing to see, such as soft and kind character stepping up there and doing what we believed he could do. he did not really believe it, even when he touched the ball at the end,

ina week's when he touched the ball at the end, in a week's time it will sink in and he will go wow, i am world champion. he will celebrate with his national anthem, knowing the words, and his celebration when he hits the wall. let's hear from him let's hearfrom him now. i don't know what to say, i'm on the verge of tea rs. it's been a dream since i was six years old. i thought about winning, it has not been on my mind since last night. i think that has really helped. ijust went in. getting a medal would be nice, but... pretty incredible hour. 0k, just finally, what can we look forward to in the next session tomorrow? james guy and duncan scott put in an incredible performance in the 200 freestyle semis, they are going into the final at number one and two. hopefully we can see two brits on the podium. that would be incredible

if we could see that. thanks you two. you will be able to catch mark and becky on bbc sport coverage over the next few days. london hosts the world athletics championships from the end of next week, eilidh doyle will captain the british team. the scottish a00 metres hurdler doyle won the vote amongst squad members, beating defending world champions mo farah and greg rutherford to the role. it's such an honour. i was shocked when they told me, but yeah, makes it even more special to know the rest of the two mix—up chosen me to be captain. it means a lot. i think we will do really well. you see the effect that principle can have on us. effect that principle can have on us. you saw what happened in london 2012. we have a really big team and we wa nt 2012. we have a really big team and we want to fill as many spots as we can. we will see some special moments out there hopefully. i've been so lucky to can be in so many home games. to have another

opportunity to go to london to compete in that stadium, have the home support, it's going to be absolutely incredible. i'm so lucky to have that for my third time in my career. the world para athletics championships came to a close last night and uk athletics say they will try and bring it back to london for the next championships in 2019. it would be the first city to host the championships twice and no country has staged the worlds back to back before. the british team won 39 medals and came third in the medal table. uk athletics say a high level of positive feedback was received from team leaders and athletes during the week with support for a 2019 event in london. six years after partially severing his arm in a rally crash robert kubica's hopes of returning to formula one will move a step closer next week when he tests a current renault car in hungary. the 32—year—old pole has already completed two tests in a 2012 car and claims his physical limitations don't affect his driving. the official two day f1 test at the hungaroring following this

weekend's grand prix will allow renault to compare his performance against other teams and drivers. there's been criticism of the rfu's decision not to renew the contracts for their women's fifteen—a—side team. england are the world champions and defend their title in ireland next month, but the rfu says it must now shift focus to the sevens squad, as it begins preparations for the commonwealth games next year. the rfu say several players will be offered sevens contracts... former england world cup—winning captain maggie alfonsi says more investment is needed in both formats. i guess it has always been a bit of a cycle. now we have seen such success in women's sport, we want to change that cycle. we want to get to the point where there is investment in both formats, sevens and

fifteens. what the rfu has said, post—world cup they will renew the 17 contracts and those will be for the sevens players. those who are involved and fifteens rugby at the moment at the elite and will potentially have to look for another further employment to sustain their ability to be an athlete. that is where the frustrations are coming from. what is positive is that there is funding, there is support, but it is funding, there is support, but it is just not enough. going forward there needs to be further investment not just there needs to be further investment notjust in there needs to be further investment not just in rugby there needs to be further investment notjust in rugby but other sports as we have seen with england cricket. jordan spieth has risen to number two in the new world golf rankings after his dramatic win in yesterday's 0pen at royal birkdale. if the american can now win next month's us pga championship, he will become the youngest player to win a career grand slam of all four majors — but spieth wasted little time in celebrating with the claretjug with his fellow player and friend justin thomas, posting this snapchat video last night. how does it taste? fantastic.

noidea no idea what was in it at all. manchester city have been the summer's heaviest spenders so far in the transfer window and they have made another huge signing today by buying full—back bernard mendy from monaco. the 23—year—old france international has signed a five—year contract for a fee believed to be in the region of £52 million. and that is a world record for a defender. pep guardiola has so far spent something in the region of £130 million on fullbacks alone. joining me now is bbc‘s football analyst pat nevin. a couple of football headlines to get
