a reminder of our main story: over 3 million british gas customers face a hefty rise in electricity bills. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. this is bbc news. the headlines: the government and labour have criticised the owner of british gas, centrica, for announcing a 12.5 percent increase in electricity prices. the white house has insisted that president trump's new chief of staff will bring discipline to his administration, following the sacking of anthony scaramucci as director of communications after less than ten days in office. the government says a disturbance at the mount prison in hertfordshire has now been ‘resolved', after a riot squad was sent to restore order. the trauma unit of a hospital in oxford has been closed for a year after it failed fire safety tests

ordered in the aftermath of the grenfell tower disaster. in a moment it will be time for sportsday but first a look at what else is coming up this evening on bbc news. after centrica announced a 12.5% increase in electricity prices, we'll be asking moneybox's paul lewis if switching is the answer, and if smart meters could be behind the price hike. we're live at the opera — where a memorial performance of verdi's requiem is being held in memory of the grenfell tower victims. and we'll be celebrating all things yorkshire, as halifax's refurbished piece hall re—opens, appropriately, on yorkshire day. that's all ahead on bbc news. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday.

i'm hugh feris. the headlines: unbeatable, unstoppable usain. bolt delivers his legacy wish as he looks ahead to his final champoinships. england's first injury blow of euro 2017. keeper karen bardsley will miss the rest of the tournament after it was revealed she's broken her leg. and robert kubica, the man described as the finest driver of his generation could be ready to race in formula one again, six years after an accident that looked like it would be career—ending. hello again. great to have your company. the world of sport will be losing a true superstar in around 10 days time. usain bolt is stepping away from the arena in which he's won eight olympic titles,

and 11 world championship golds. and in london this week and next he'll hope to add more before retiring a true legend. and with that in mind, he's been holding court with the world's media looking ahead to the event. one of those in attendance was our athletics reporter ade adedoyin. not many people, and the sort of attention that he does. you had to queue to get in, i understand? that's right. he is going to hold a press c0 nfe re nce that's right. he is going to hold a press conference here by himself, that gives you an idea of his standing in the sport. i got here two hours before the press conference and there was a cute, three lanes deep snaking out onto the main road. the press conferences are huge event. there were a journalist from all over the globe. i spoke to a chinese, japanese journalist, athletes from jamaica,

you united states, all here for his final news conference. he was asked questions about how he got into the sport and what he has achieved in the sport. he was also asked about the sport. he was also asked about the friend who passed away earlier this year and how difficult it was for him to deal with that. if the defences title, here is what he has to say about his legacy. unbeatable. usain bolt has retired unbeatable over individual event. you still have the really? yes, i still have the really that would be really you never know. for me, that would be it. that would be the biggest headline. unbeatable, unstoppable. it is not like him to think of a nice sound bite for us, is it? there will be a usain bolt hole left in the media world and the world of sport? yes, i have been to every

major championship that he has competed in since the beijing games and what were strikes me is handed people you see weaving the jamaican flag who are not from that part of the world. that is the impact this man has had. there is a different energy every time he competes. sometimes you go to these stadiums and the other half full, the following year you go to the same stadium with usain bolt competing and it is a full stadium. he transcends the sport in the same way that maradona and muhammad ali did in their heyday. sebastian coe says it is going to be a challenge to replace the void that usain bolt will leave when he retires. we should not be sitting there saying, you're going to find another usain bolt any more than boxing suddenly found another muhammad ali. when muhammad ali retired, left the sport, the blood line does not suddenly dry up and stop where the

arguably pound for pound? in some casesjust as arguably pound for pound? in some cases just as good? some would argue some were better. yes, absolutely. we're not going to replace usain bolt. not because you will not have a trophy cabinet full of three back—to—back olympic doubles and relays and world championships, you're not going to replace him because of his personality dominated notjust the sport, it dominated every sport out there. the big question is after all the big build up, will he successfully defend that title over this weekend? in 2015, he had no rights to win the 100 metre title in beijing because he was not in good shape. somehow he did what all great athletes dead, find how to win. he has only run under ten seconds once this year. he is the joint seventh fastest man in the world this year. when it comes to the big occasions, as his mother

once told me, usain bolt always delivers. they could be an intriguing race this weekend. thank you. the host cities for the olympic and paralympic games stretching for more than a decade are falling into place. with los angeles to be the venue for the 2028 events after la's bid team reached an agreement with the international olympic committee, which is expected to be ratified by the los angeles city council later today. la had originally been bidding for the 2024 games but that event is now set to take place in paris. just over two days to go until england's semi final at euro 2017 but today they've received their first piece of bad news in the tournament. goalkeeper karen bardsley has broken her leg, having been forced off in sunday's quarter final win over france. our correspondent katie gornall is with the england camp no bardsley for the match against the netherlands. how big a blow is that? well, of course it is a blow. she is

the first choice goalkeeper. we saw her go down against france. she played for 15 minutes afterward so the full extent of her injury was not clear. we had it confirmed today that she has broken her leg. a real disappointment. they do have an experienced replacement coming in in siobhan chambers, the liverpool goalkeeper who replaced her in france. she will come in against the netherlands as well. it means that the manager will make two changes because the midfielder is suspended for this one. hindsight is going to stay on out here. she is going be a pa rt stay on out here. she is going be a part of your. it is something we spoke to her city team—mate about and she said that karen barnsley is still upbeat despite everything that has happened. anyone that knows hart, knows she is full of beans and energy. she has the same now. she has played her part for us and she will continue helping the goalkeeper

is off of the pitch. we have fantastic goalkeepers and not one person makes the team. it is the same for every member of our team, people move in and out and we know we will get the same quality. from out we will get the same quality. from our point of view, we need to be at out our point of view, we need to be at our best to stop ring the best out of each other. holland will bring a big game to this match. they want to win. it is a huge game for them. a massive game in football, and dutch women football. there are not many dutch who are not football fans, they will be supporting them in the stadium or from the streets. from out stadium or from the streets. from our point of view, we know what we need to do and i am confident in the quality of our players. there has been talk of pressure throughout the turn and about how the deal with it as favourites. the netherland netherland have to deal with that as hosts in the stadium and out? the do

and they have been dealing with it very well. they have risen to the occasion. they are one of the form teams coming into this, as as england. they have 100% record and conceded one goal. playing very well indeed. england beat them any friendly back in november last year, 1- friendly back in november last year, 1— yl. the dutch side want to show they have improved. we have lots of players who are based in england, including the arsenal striker and liverpool's clear. the pose a potent front three. we spoke to martin's earlier today and this is what she had to say about the match. earlier today and this is what she had to say about the matchm earlier today and this is what she had to say about the match. it feels good. every single player is going to england or france and, if the comeback with the national team, ucb team growing and that is good. hopefully in the few years will be more. “— hopefully in the few years will be more. “ you see hopefully in the few years will be more. —— you see the team growing. hopefully it will be like that on

thursday. the netherlands are a young side and are up for this. they have home advantage but i do not think that will face england. england knocked out the hosts canada at the world cup two years ago, the feet of the pressure and eating for the big occasion. thank you. not long to go now. hearts have sacked their head coach ian cathro afterjust eight months in charge. the thirty—one year old was appointed in december last year but the club slipped from second to fifth in the scottish premiership. our reporter brian mclauchlin has more. it was an appointment that captured the imagination of football fans across the country, butjust four days before the start of the new campaign, the manager has gone. it who enter last season and an early exit from the league cup, and end to his time. for some, this was no surprise. the result on saturday, hearts being the only premiership

side not to get through in the group stages and the result, taken over hearts in second place and slipping down the league as he took over, not a surprise. major reconstruction of the stand at tynecastle has been well underway but it is the dug out that requires work before the weekend win the league campaign begins at celtic. who are the main contenders to replace him? former players, both out of players. the saintjohnstone boss players, both out of players. the saint johnstone boss has players, both out of players. the saintjohnstone boss has worked wonders at the perth club and is highly thought of. that is peter houston who was assistant manager to create levine here and both at dundee united. he is the boss at falkirk. will it be another left field appointment made by the board? it may be the director of football who has the main one former player says his position should now come

under scrutiny? i do not think him being there is positive in trying to attract somebody of a high calibre. i think he is detrimental, we still do not know what it is that he does. the club will announce on wednesday who will take charge of the team for the first league match this saturday. or a more experienced manager, a more realistic prospect for the long—term. he's been described as the finest racing driver of his generation. the polish driver robert kubica was amongst the fastest in formula one until one horrific accident in 2011 looked certain to end his career. his arm was severely injured but he's fought back and tomorrow takes part in what's being seen as a crucial test. because i have not done this for over six years, and neverfelt like

i could give it. it was a big surprise. it gives me big comfort andi surprise. it gives me big comfort and i am more relaxed, although the current cars and i am more relaxed, although the current ca rs are and i am more relaxed, although the current cars are more demanding, or are different. because the power is different, there is two engines, more complex. there is a lot of new stuff that i have never tried. there isa stuff that i have never tried. there is a bit of mixed feeling and not nervous, but, you know, all these feelings that you have not tried them, makes you feel like you do not know what to expect. i feel co mforta ble know what to expect. i feel comfortable and i think if i have the right approach and if i have the same feelings as the last two tests, i think same feelings as the last two tests, ithinki same feelings as the last two tests, i think i can do a reasonably good job. fans of clubs in rugby union's pro12 league are used to travelling between wales,

scotland and ireland. but this season, they'll add bloomfontein & port elizabeth in south africa to their itineraries. the pro 12 is now the new pro14 and includes the cheetahs and the southern kings from south africa. the expansion was rubber stamped in dublin today. nial foster was there. the addition of two south african clu bs to the addition of two south african clubs to fund a new league has been well signposted. today in dublin, we got the final details. the expanded toa got the final details. the expanded to a lament, which will now include the southern kings and the cheetahs will split into seven, two welsh, two irish and one team from scotland, italy and south africa. the cheetahs scotland, italy and south africa. the cheeta hs and scotland, italy and south africa. the cheetahs and kings will play their home games in port elizabeth but will not be able to qualify for european competition. it has also been agreed that full—time professional south african referees are to be included, part of the long term strategy to improve the standard of the league. we have ring fence the derby games, added not out by fence the derby games, added not out

rugby with three rounds, rather than too. we have really allowed us to develop a tournament that is good for the player, fits into the calendar. making those changes now, bringing in super teams to play an exciting brand of rugby, i think it will be a fantastic and it, lots of tries scored, ball in play, an exciting brand of rugby. that we already play and these guys will add to that. the existing clubs have beenin to that. the existing clubs have been in discussion about the leads expansion for a number of years. ulster are pleased about the move. we are looking to grow things in south africa and north america and elsewhere in the world. we would seek the south african arrival as a welcome addition to the quality of the week. we think it is one step on the week. we think it is one step on the route to further growth. with the route to further growth. with the celtic clubs set to visit port elizabeth in the coming months and the fixtures being announced next week. it is on.

british gymnast ellie downie will miss october's world championships in canada after ankle surgery. the 18—year—old injured her left ankle at the british championships in march but went on to win four medals in april's european championships. downie plans to return for next year's commonwealth games in australia. she's tweeted "a minor setback is a pathway for a major comeback". england all—rounder ben stokes says he is not trying to live up to recent comparisons with former player andrew flintoff. stokes was the man—of—the—match... contributing with bat, ball and in the field as his side took an unassailable lead in the series against south africa with victory at the oval — which led team—mate stuart broad to liken him to the former england star. but stokes says he is just concentrating on his own game. it is always nice getting compared to him. some of these spells he produced for england was amazing to watch. i am produced for england was amazing to watch. iam not produced for england was amazing to watch. i am not trying to be

anywhere else except for myself. all iam anywhere else except for myself. all i am trying to do is produce certain moments in the game where it can swing our way. i am not trying to live up to anybody else's reputation. i am trying to do what i do. trying to keep putting in good performances. the ferocious nurse when he was bowling the other night, reminded me of how freddie used to play. he was gathering momentum for both aspects of his game and drawing the crowd with him. he had a feeling like he was going to get wickets and picked up two pretty quickly. i think ben will always get comparisons of that sort of ilk. he has turned himself into a world—class cricketer already but he has bags of potential to go further. there's been a couple of shock results on the first day of the glorious goodwood festival.

they included the favourite for the goodwood cup, big orange, being beaten into second place. tony husband is our man at the course. this five—day festival is often billed as glorious but there was little glory is on the opening afternoon for many of the punters here. a day marked by huge surprises and upsets. the big race was the group one cup, have £1 million up for grabs. it was not to be first frankly. for winners today for the italian jockey. delight for the trainer. these shocks were not over, the maiden stakes produced a huge upset. 100 to one outsider, the children's trust, produced a stunning upset on this first day. the going has been good, soft in
