and under. some sunshine in between the downpours on in the south—east corner of england's and may stay dry with some sunshine. more sunshine from the beginning of the week but more showers as well. more slow—moving showers in scotland and northern ireland. on tuesday, prospects look a little better with showers during lighter and feeling warmer. this is bbc news. the headlines... north korea tests an intercontinental ballistic missile it says is capable of striking the entire united states. president trump describes the action as reckless and dangerous. uk universities have a pension fund deficit of more than £17 billion — the largest in the uk. president trump describes his new chief of staff — the retired military general john kelly — as a true star. he takes up the position after reince priebus stood down from the post. the family of a 20—year—old man who died after being restrained by police a week ago appeal for peace after angry clashes in east london last night where protesters threw fireworks
7:31 pm
and bottles at police. now for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm karthi gnanasegaram. the headlines this evening... rain affects play but not before roland jones has his say with england in control against south africa. hungary has been a happy hunting ground for hamilton but he struggled to fourth place — it's vettel on pole. and holders hull are through to the challenge cup final at wembley with a seven—try defeat of leeds. plenty to come including swimming, football and the day's
7:32 pm
racing but first... rain has affected the day at the oval with play eventually being abandoned at around 5.20 this evening. england's cricketers though are in a control of the third test aginst south africa. and there was enough play for toby roland—jones to take five wickets on his test debut. patrick gearey has been following the day's action after the players had an interesting journey to the oval. today's ride london meant roads we re reserved for cyclists. look beneath them and you
7:33 pm
would find cricketers. the tube played the best way for the team together, next where south african innings terminated. he gave his side score some respectability, still it would've been an innings remembered for its end as ben stokes helpless. almost one of the great catches, almost. south africa batted on so they would not have two follow—on. eventuallyjimmy anderson got one. it was a precious one for toby roland jones, a place on the honours board, walk off he will never forget. england led by 178 runs, mind the gap. but overhead, problems loom. alistair cooke did not make it to the rain. these were pivoted moments forjennings, he had already been dropped when he was given out, lbw. once that would've been that, now the batsmen has a last resort, use the gadgets. the decision was wrong, jennings was saved. once the rain arrived, it stuck around. time to head undercover or perhaps underground. if we can get up towards a 400 run
7:34 pm
lead in reasonable time, we will probably be happy with that. i had hoped we could bowl them out in this ashenin hoped we could bowl them out in this ashen in a day. we have big hitters to come in towards the back end to speed up the run raise so that will be the way we will go about it. lewis hamilton qualified a disappointing fourth ahead of tomorrow's hungarian grand prix. pole went to his title rival sebastian vettel, in a ferrari front row lock—out. just one points separates hamilton and vettel — and both will be wanting to go into the mid—season break with the advantage. tom clarkson reports from the hungaroring. when the going gets tough, the tough get going. after the trouncing ferrara received at the hands of mercedes at silverstone many expected them to gallop off and make the championship their own.
7:35 pm
but that has not been the case. a rare show of strength in qualifying. a lock—out for ferrari in hungary for the first time in 13 yea rs. in hungary for the first time in 13 years. also a special day for the reserve driver. he had only driven this year's car in a simulator. although there is not lost for lewis hamilton. i like this track a lot. i
7:36 pm
like the sunshine and the people around. a front row for us, which is incredible. sebastian vettel understandably delighted with the 48th pole position of his career. only a second poll for him in this season. only a second poll for him in this season. this time guerin grand prix is for him to lose because lewis hamilton back in fourth place on the grid is not happy with the balance of his mercedes so it will be a case of his mercedes so it will be a case of damage limitation. he is only one point behind metal in the champ kinship standing but he will try to minimise that gap. —— one point behind sebastian vettel in the championship standings. staying in hungary, ben proud has won a bronze at the swimming world championships in budapest. proud came third in the 50 metre freestyle final with caeleb dressel from the usa winning gold. it's his second medal of the championships, after winning gold in the 50 metre butterfly. 50 freestyle is the event to be medalling in.
7:37 pm
i thought that was a fast race, i was happy to get in third, it was between me and fifth, almost nothing. britain's james guy won bronze in the one hundred metre butterfly, he was tied in third withjoseph schooling. caeleb dressel from the usa also won that final. becky adlington and mark foster. i spoke to them earlier about the day performances. we kept saying to them proud, billy. he is not a confident character. you don't need the swagger to get the result. he got the 50 fly and then the 50 free you did a greatjob this evening.
7:38 pm
caleb is the fastest in the world. then still went out there and did well. if you tiny amounts can make a difference. he stuck to his race and w011 difference. he stuck to his race and won a medal. it is always tight. he has to be proud. indeed! a lot of them are very young. james guy, another medalfor them are very young. james guy, another medal for him. what about his performance? james was absolutely incredible in the 100 metres file. we associate him with the 200 metres. it was great to see him break out on the world stage and get the medal. what a race to be pa rt get the medal. what a race to be part of. what shocked us is that james said that he was thinking about dropping before hundreds and concentrating on the 200 and the 100 butterfly. expect to see a lot more
7:39 pm
ofjames guy butterfly. expect to see a lot more of james guy and butterfly. expect to see a lot more ofjames guy and that butterfly event. something for both of you to answer. i get the impression that adam peaty is a little like andy murray in terms of bringing the rest of the team with him and forcing the british success behind him because he is such a figurehead for the sport? i wouldn't say he forces it. when you have somebody around who is so when you have somebody around who is so good and so confident, it rubs off on other people. i'm not going to say that we will have a team of adam peatys, but when you have somebody like that, and it was the same with becky, somebody who has the belief. you think the senior swimmers arejust the belief. you think the senior swimmers are just brilliant and you are not like them when you are young and then all of a sudden you have brea kfast and then all of a sudden you have breakfast with them and train with them and you realise they are just like you. they train hard and if i do the same, i can have the same opportunity. that is what we saw with adam and james and ben. the
7:40 pm
other men's relays. we are seeing people step up and believe they can do it. we have to give a lot of credit to the coaches, the head coach. been with the team since the london olympics. we had the best olympics we had in 100 years and that was not all adam peaty. a lot of credit to the coaches. the register that we have in managed —— be set up that we have in manchester, we used to be a tiny little country and now the rest of the world are looking at gb swimming and fearing us. we have never had that before. a lot of countries do look at us... we have been around a long, long time. but they come up and say you guys must be doing something good because every time there is a race we have somebody competing and that has never happened since can remember. still to come... a stunning effort,
7:41 pm
but find out whether this goal will be giving its scorer‘s —— its scorer nightmares. and we hang around for the next generation of acrobats. defending champions hull fc are through to the rugby league's challenge cup final at wembley after beating leeds rhinos 43—24 in doncaster. it's hull's third final in five years. their opponents will come from tomorrow's other semi final between wigan warriors and salford. tim hague reports. when the team that listed the trophy in 2016 takes on the team that won it in the two years before, you sense this was a challenge cup semifinal that could really live up to expectations and so it proved as leeds got off to the best possible start. brian hall has scored every try
7:42 pm
imaginable. there was more of the same here. then the holders showed their star quality. look at that gap, they all fell for it. there is no sense of misdirection when it comes to that man hall though, more magnificence from him. 220th rhinos try. that was as good as it got for leeds. hull hit back twice. six points their lead at the break which they extended significantly in the second 40. sneed with a kick. it is the way hull do things. kallum watkins does his thing is the only way to come he kept the match alive with a terrific try bidder would make little difference in the end. hull had too much. jamie shaul, the flaw is yours. —— jamie shaul, the floor is yours.
7:43 pm
he is on his way. jamie shaul, it is a beautiful try. a beautiful moment. wembley, here they come. they had not beaten leeds in eight attempts, today was a very different story for hull. 43—24 to the 2016 winners. can they now make 2017 their year as well? england's footballers have trained this morning ahead of their women's european championship quarterfinal against france in the netherlands — our sports correspondent katie gornall has been in the england camp this week and joins us live. katie — there's a real sense back here that this is a very confident england squad. you are right. that is reflected here. we heard mark sampson in a press c0 nfe re nce here. we heard mark sampson in a press conference and he said that if england, even not at their best can be france but they can win co mforta bly be france but they can win comfortably at their best. some confident talk from him. you can understand. england have a 100%
7:44 pm
record from their group. they have scored ten goals as well, more than any other side. they are on a roll. history is against them when it comes to france, they have not beaten them since 1974 and they have lost to them in the past three major tournaments. but you get a sense that the time might be now. france did not look convincing in their group. they squeaked through and there is a sense of real belief in this england squad. i spoke to casey stoney about this, she has been part of the england setup for many years. mentally, you look at england and we have been close in the past. we'll beaten on penalties in 2007. we put them out of the qualification for them out of the qualification for the world cup in 2006. it was an away draw that put us through. we are ina away draw that put us through. we are in a different place now, physically compare to them and that
7:45 pm
will get us over the line. and to other quarterfinals going on tonight? yes, there are. the netherlands were playing sweden. that game as finished. this country, while they may not have embraced the tournament as a whole, they have got behind their team. we have seen sell—out crowds at all the netherland games. they come to be beat sweden 2—0. sweden were pretournament favourites. they took the lead in the first half. there was some suggestion of a foul outside the area. but she drilled home. the scorer had a hand in the second goal, teeing up a liverpool winger. new arsenal striker was set up winger. new arsenal striker was set upfora simple winger. new arsenal striker was set up for a simple finish. netherlands 100% record in the group and they
7:46 pm
keep that momentum going and they will play the winner of england versus france. there is another quarterfinal taking place tonight, germany versus denmark. germany have won the last 6 euros. they have an incredible record in this tournament but did not look so smooth in this group. —— the last six european championships. thank you, katie. the domestic football season is already underway in scotland and we've had the first major upset in the scottish league cup. premiership side hearts are out. they were one of six top flight teams trying to reach the knock out stage. alex gulrajani reports. no need for pre—season friendlies because the league cup start early. it brings pressure. this hearts team needed to beat dunfermline to progress. don cowie eased some of the tension around tynecastle early on but it was soon back on.
7:47 pm
the championship side took the lead moving top of the group. hearts now needed two. one came with five minutes to play. stockton had the chance to be a saviour, not today. hearts are out but this conversation does not do draws. —— this competition does not do draws. a meaningless penalty shoot out and the effort summed up the home side this afternoon, three out of four off target. the pressure continues to build. here are some selected results. this is group d. hibernian beat alloa and top their group. erin hamilton through as group winners. the four best runners—up also go through to the knock—out stage, where they'll be joined by aberdeen, celtic, rangers and stjohnstone.
7:48 pm
group c won't be decided until tomorrow's tayside derby. the full results can be found on the bbc sport website. there's still two weeks to go before the new premier league season starts, but there's been plenty of pre—season action today. in their latest pre—season friendly, premier league champions chelsea were beaten 2—1 by inter milan in singapore. manchester united target ivan perisic got the second for inter. but what about this? chelsea benefitting from one of the best own goals you will ever see! substitute geoffrey kondogbia somehow lobbing his goalkeeper from over 40 yards out. what a finish from the french midfielder! arsenal in blue despite playing at home, came from behind to beat benfica, 5—2. theo walcott scored twice before being substituted for
7:49 pm
their reconciling, alexander lacquers edge. barcelona target phillipe coutinho was captain today as liverpool faced hertha berlin. he set up the final goal in the german capital. west ham drew 2—1 with werder bremen in germany. marko arnautovic scored a first half equaliser for west ham 25 minutes in. it was his first goal for the hammers since signing from stoke city for a club record £20 million last week. it is day three of the ladies' scottish open at dundonald links. australian karrie webb is top of the leaderboard, six under par after 15 holes. she already has seven major titles to her name. georgia hall is the leading brit injoint sixth place. she's level par.
7:50 pm
the fourth golf major of the women's season, the british open, starts next week. after going on a crash diet in order to get down to the necessary weight to ride the horse, enable, frankie detorri, has won the prestigious king george vi and queen elizabeth stakes at ascot. the 5—4 shot, trained byjohn gosden, saw off the challenge of 9—1 ulysses in second. the filly, racing against older horses, was magnificent in the final furlongs as she cruised to victory on soft ground. dettori said afterwards, "i missed the whole of royal ascot and to come back to the place i love so much, it means a lot to me." i think he got down to eight stone £6 to ride that horse. one of britain's wimbledon champions, jordanne whiley, has announced she's pregnant. what's more she's announced that she knew she was expecting throughout wimbledon when she and her playing partner won the wheelchair doubles title

for the fourth year running. she has tweeted a picture of her latest scan saying "had a little help at wimbledon this year". her baby is due injanuary. it's been the second day of action at the national championships for rhythmic and acrobatic gymnastics in liverpool. it's a chance for britain's acrobat team to show off the gold and bronze medal, they won at the world games, in poland last week. they even beat the chinese to win the team title. to see how they achieve spectacular results, mike bushell has been to the spelthorne gym in middlesex. defying the laws of gravity — in fact, defying all we thought possible for human beings. no apparatus, gymnasts working together with extraordinary courage, balance and strength. it is like being in a forest of human beings. amazing shapes.
7:52 pm
acrobatic gymnastics first came to the uk from russia in 1976 as a way of pushing gymnasts to new extremes. and, crucially, allowing them to work together. here we have the men's pair. doing a one armed flag. it is incredible how long they can hold this for. it is spectacular to watch. it is a combination of acrobatics, dancing, gymnastics, everything, working as a team. it pushes them to the limit. they can push themselves acrobatically, and also mentally, and it teaches them to work together. this club in middlesex has a new gym to train in, and they are hoping it will increase their numbers to 3000, from preschool beginners to world champions. it is scary. there is trust involved. you need it for it to work. you two are world champions. you make it look difficult, how hard is it?
7:53 pm
it is not too bad. you seem to be able to stay up there for ages. 40 minutes. 40 hours! 20 hours a week practising. it takes a lot of work to get to that standard. you can't do it half—heartedly. it is not just it is notjust those who do the spectacular staff who need to concentrate. you need to concentrate, notjust on the top, but on the bottom. they have a head start getting to the olympics, because they are already included in youth olympics. sorry i was not a more sturdy support. it is so different to normal gymnastics. you are working as a team. you are seeing them bond. it is so much a group thing. beginners have to start somewhere, no matter what their age is. it is so much fun. even a basic move like the front somersault.
7:54 pm
of course, it is all about trusting your team and your base, especially when it comes to the finale of the platform straight jump! oh, cheers, guys. yes, you can laugh! how long did they leave him there? now hear some of the action coming up. at midnight tonight, the bmx world championships on red button, connect tv and online. and tomorrow from ten, commentary from the third

7:58 pm
northern ireland. showers passing through in the northern areas and the south—east missing out. think should be a bit dry on tuesday. but there is another area of low pressure heading from the atlantic to bring wet and windy weather in the middle of the week. nothing particularly settled in the outlook over next week but in the 10—day forecast, online, you can look at that and perhaps there is a glimmer of hope in days eight, nine and ten. this is bbc news.
