10:31 pm
defend his 100m breastroke title. the olympic champion was a cut above the rest of the field, finishing more than a second ahead of his nearest rival. it means the 22—year—old now holds the top ten times in the world for the 100m breaststroke. his list of accolades goes on, having not lost a major championship race in three years over this distance and victory means he still holds the full set of titles. he's olympic, world, european and commonwealth champion. obviously two months after rio, it is going to be so hard getting back what i got in rio but i am more than happy to come back and defend my title, or attack my title, as i say, and find extra bits. i was a bit longer into the wall but i'm so happy with that. was that the page you intended to go out ordered excitement get you a bit?|i you intended to go out ordered excitement get you a bit? i was like a little boy, in front of that
10:32 pm
crowd, but it is a world record for a reason and the performance in the olympics was completely different for that swim. i was on target for it, ijust for that swim. i was on target for it, i just missed for that swim. i was on target for it, ijust missed out but the 50 tomorrow, see what i can get. meanwhile ben proud took gold in the 50m butterfly, having qualified fourth—fastest from the semi—finals. the 22—year—old put in a majestic performance when it mattered most to record the biggest title of his career he is the reigning commonwealth champion over the same distance, and also the 50m freestyle. i don't really know what to say, i am on the verge of tears. it has been a dream since i was six years old. i wasn't thinking about the race at all, thinking about winning hasn't been in my mind since last night. i think that has helped, i just went in and thought maybe getting a medal would be nice, but... there's been criticism of the rfu's decision not to renew the contracts for their women's is—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,
10:33 pm
as it begins preparations for the commonwealth games next year. the rfu say several players will be offered sevens contracts. former england world cup winner maggie alfonsi says more investment is needed in both formats. i guess it's always been a bit of, i guess, a cycle, and i guess now we are seeing such a success in women's sport, we want to change that cycle and get to the point where there is investment in both formats, the seventh game and the 15s game, so post—world cup, the rfu said they would renew i7 contracts and they would renew i7 contracts and they would be for the sevens players, so those who are involved in european by those who are involved in european rugby at the elite end will have to look for further employment to sustain their ability to be an athlete. that is where the frustrations are coming about, but what is positive is there is funding, there is support and it is not enough, and going forward, then it's to be further investment, not
10:34 pm
just in rugby but other sports, as we have seen with england cricket. the perfect segue there, talking about england cricket. the england cricket captain heather knight says their world cup win could be a watershed moment for the women's game. it was a thrilling final at a packed lords that saw them beat india by nine runs. this was the team today, back at the ground, with the trophy that they last won in 2009. they've won it four times in all. you kind of dream of these moments. obviously when we knew this tournament was going to be in england and the final at lord's, you dream that you will be at the final, at lord's, dream that you will be at the final, at lords, and you never really dream you will take that final wicket but it is kind of a reality now and just so happy, the whole team, to have done this. there is no better time for women and girls to play cricket here in the uk. it is something that has been growing at a huge rate but this world cup as a whole and definitely the final was a watershed moment, to be heard here
10:35 pm
in lord's, a full house making an unbelievable amount of noise, hopefully that will inspire some people to think i would like to be out here one day playing cricket for england. we looked at the previous world cup victories and we had in england in at the start of the year, which a lot of the 1993 world cup winning squad barat, and the girls involved in 2009 and we said we wanted to make 2017 one of those years, the fourth team to win the world cup ever and a part of history andl world cup ever and a part of history and i guess that is something that will be very special for all the girls were a long time. i don't think it will sink in for a while we will be quite busy over the next few weeks and then it is straight into the k weeks and then it is straight into theks weeks and then it is straight into the ks l, weeks and then it is straight into the k s l, but when we get the chance to sit down and look back, it will be a very proud moment. 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 and
10:36 pm
non—these girls, and certainly my generation of player didn't have that, it wasn't normal. it gives us a huge platform in this country and globally to drive the women's game. i think globally to drive the women's game. ithink in globally to drive the women's game. i think in this country in particular, we will probably look back on it as a game changing tournament. it is now incumbent upon us tournament. it is now incumbent upon us to make sure it is a game changing tournament and that is about obviously participation and how this performance in front of a full house of lords can inspire the next generation, to secure greater investment and continue to drive the business case and the viability of the sport, this can't be a one—off. winning up to winning, we all know, is really difficult and winning, i think, can be defined in lots of different ways, so that visual, i think is we want cricket to become a sport that is as relevant for women and girls as it is for men and boys. well, there's a shock at the women's
10:37 pm
european championships in the netherlands, traditional tournament powerhouses norway are out of the competition. the two—time winners, who came runners up in the last edition in 2013, losing theirfinal group game to denmark 1—0. the winning goal coming from montpellier midfielder katrina veje after just five minutes. an incredibly important strike for the danes as it means they qualify in second from group a with two wins and a defeat. disappointing day for their scandinavian rivals, norway exiting the competition with the dreaded triple doughnut of zero wins, zero goals and zero points. hosts the netherlands, meanwhile, have continued their 100% record at the tournament after seeing off belgium 2—1 to take top spot in the group. this own goal from belgian sherida spitse, in the 27th minute, helping the ora nje towards the knockout stages. a couple of big money transfers to tell you about today — and manchester city have broken the world record for the transfer of a defender, spending £52 million on full back benjamin mendy from monaco. the france international has signed a five—year deal.
10:38 pm
after the signings of kyle walker and danilo, city have spent almost £130 million on fullbacks this summer. and former manchester united forward javier hernandez has signed for west ham tonight from bayer leverkhusen for £16 million. "chicarito" is mexico's leading goalscorer, and he becomes the fourth signing at west ham this summer. jordan spieth has risen to number two in the new world golf rankings after his dramatic win in yesterday's open 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. it
10:39 pm
looked fantastic, just something from the claretjug. we'll end with a recap of our top story. adam peaty clocking the second fastest 100m breaststroke time in history to retain his world title. he's unbeaten in three years — and here's how he's dominated the sport. music can adam peaty win the gold? i think he is going to. yes, he does, adam peaty of england wins the gold medal in the 100 metres breaststroke. that's all from sportsday.
10:40 pm
coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are public affairs consultant alex deane and the journalist james rampton. tomorrow's front pages. starting with the i, and the parents of charlie gard who have given up
10:41 pm
their legalfight to of charlie gard who have given up their legal fight to keep of charlie gard who have given up their legalfight to keep him alive. it is on the sun's front page as well, picking up on comments made by charlie gard's parents outside court. the story also appears on the front page of the metro and charlie gard is also the daily mail's lead story. the telegraph front of the story. the telegraph front of the story on how consumers who buy internetting gauged appliances for them homes —— their homes are vulnerable to cyber attacks. the times says that ministers are considering clamping down on developers who sell houses with escalating ground rents. also a story on the police and crime commissioner accused of pulling police away from an anti—fracking protest. the guardian leads with a warning from the bank of england on rising levels of personal debt. the express fix on what it calls a row among doctors over the safety of starting is. so, it was inevitable given the huge public interest that there is in the story that this is
10:42 pm
there is in the story that this is the only picture on the front page and the photograph on the front page of the daily mail. incredibly striking and while we are looking at the papers, they are united in morning trade charlie gard, who it seems, his battle has come to an end, but the next focus will be on what the parents are saying has caused this decision, which is that great form and is it prolonged the decision so long that he could no longer have the treatment. it is not that they are saying he could have been saved if he had had the treatment earlier but that if he could have promptly had the treatment instead of the court process , treatment instead of the court process, they might have saved him but now they have to give up because the process has taken so long. right now, it is a very sad story that everybody rallies around and mourn server everybody rallies around and mourn serverfor everybody rallies around and mourn server for the next everybody rallies around and mourn serverfor the next age is everybody rallies around and mourn server for the next age is very dangerous that the people on the other side of the argument. the doctors would say they work in the
10:43 pm
interests of the child and they presumed that there was nothing that could be done for him and whether there was or not is... and it is certainly true that many independent doctors who didn't work at great ormond street hospital of those doctors that there really was no hope of this experimental american treatment working, or any other treatment. journalistically, i would like to add that it's just amazing the way a story like this catches fire. you know, it became a minor story in april and then suddenly, it just took off. then you have donald trump commenting, you have the vatican, you had controversial american pastor coming over here to way into the debate. they raised 1.2 million on a crowdfunding website, social media funding mac at the rate fuelling it but that is the way that human emotion stories which really tell the raw sorrow and anger and
10:44 pm
quite understandable sense of fury that the parents have gone through, are communicated to the public and, asi are communicated to the public and, as i say, it is fuelled by social media and it has become an incredibly huge worldwide story. the front page of the sun," we are so sorry we couldn't save you". they say they are haunted by the what ifs. and i take james' point entirely, the doctor treating charlie gard seemed entirely of one view and many doctors who weren't from, none of them would support what has happened, the threats and so what has happened, the threats and so on, but the point for me as a layman, many of us will be wondering, you say there is no hope but when you switch off the machine, thatis but when you switch off the machine, that is definitely no hove, right? so the chance of life is what the pa rents were so the chance of life is what the parents were seeking. a doctor on the programme this evening said are
10:45 pm
these expert, ordinarily kings of their domain, these expert, ordinarily kings of theirdomain, are these expert, ordinarily kings of their domain, are they in some way reticent to take advice or maybe expertise from outside their hospital? i have two uncles that doctors but it doesn't make me a doctors but it doesn't make me a doctor and maybe i'm
