this is bbc news. i'm jane hill. the headlines at midday: he is a one—man world superpower, it is gold for farah! mo farah wins his tenth straight athletics gold medal as he storms his way to the 10,000 metre title. he has that aura of invincibility. i'm not sure the others believe they can beat him. it's day two of the championships and katarina johnson—thompson kicks off her bid for a gold medal. ten of thousands of passengers face three weeks of disruption from today, as a major engineering project begins at the country's busiest railway station, waterloo in london. ireland's first openly gay prime minister is attending a pride event in belfast later as he warns the "clock is ticking" on brexit talks. the british hacker who helped stop a cyber—attack on the nhs

is spending the weekend in a us prison after being accused of creating software that steals customers' bank details. youtube insiders tell the bbc that child protection measures at the video sharing website are failing. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. sir mo farah has been celebrating his victory in last night's 10,000 metres at the world championships, describing it as one of the toughest races of his career. the sli—year—old, who is due to retire at the end of the season, now has his eyes on completing a third successive world double by winning the 5,000 metres next week. natalie pirks has all the details from the london stadium where usain bolt also took to the track.

plays national anthem it has become a familiar scene here. the smile, the anthem, the gold. but this win was arguably the greatest of them all. his competitors went off hard, working together to grind farah down. as mo tried to whip the crowd into a frenzy, his rivals kicked on. still, farah held firm. down the final straight, the nation and his wife willed him to victory. we needn't have worried. it was his fastest time in six years. he's a one—man world superpower! it's gold for farah! the training, the months away had all been worth it — to be able to celebrate with the most important people in his life. i got a bit emotional at the start, then i had to get in the zone, and, yeah, it's just been, you know, amazing.

he's not the only one gearing up for goodbye. lapping up the london love, usain bolt hasn't been lightning quick this season, but then he hasn't yet needed to be. commentator: bolt has got a bit of work to do. here he comes, and there he goes. 10.08. that's him through to today's semis. he's aiming for his 12th world title, and london loves him. they always showed me so much love and i really appreciate it. i'm just happy to be here. this track has witnessed yet another piece of mo farah history. his tenth major global title, his most impressive yet. this stadium was built to leave a legacy. sir mo's will last a lifetime. paula radcliffe is the women's marathon world record holder. she gave her reaction to mo's win. i think of all of his world championships and 0lympics victories it was probably the one where he was tested and challenged the most.

the ugandans and the kenyans in particular worked together to really take it to him and to test him and to do as much as they could to try and draw the sting out of him. theyjust weren't good enough to be able to did that and once it got into his territory in the last couple of laps he had to work hard, but he was always in control. he really has that aura of invincability and i'm not sure the others really deep down believe that they can ever beat him. i think they're kind of in their minds always racing for second and that's why they weren't capable of running hard enough in the early stages to really, really test him last night, but there were also points where they backed off because in their minds they are kind of racing for second a lot of time and he plays with the field a lot. he plays a lot of mind games with them and that was very much in evidence last night. i just don't believe that they know how to beat him or that they believe they can beat him. joining me from the london stadium

is our sports presenter jessica creighton. it looks like it has been raining a lot. but heptathlon is under way, i think, jessica? yes, typical british weather. the women's heptathlon is very interesting because the british athlete katarina johnson—thompson made a fantastic start. the first event was the 100 meter hurdles and katarina johnson—thompson was flying. she ran a personal best time and it is really important in the heptathlon you lay down a marker to show your rivals that you mean business in that opening event, but these are the conditions that the athletes must contend with. the brollies are out. the roof is not stopping them getting wet in this heavy rainfall. 0n the track, there are large puddles and you wonder what effect it will have on their

performances. they are under way at the moment in the highjump and hopefully katarina johnson—thompson will be able to put down another brilliant marker. she has a lot of pressure on her shoulders when you consider she has been touted as a possible successor to the like of jessica en is hill and i know that has moved her training base from the uk to france to really develop herself physically and mentally as a better athlete. so she will have a lot to prove here, but her first event lot to prove here, but her first eve nt we nt lot to prove here, but her first event went very well. she is under way in the highjump. it is interesting that debate the pressure of expectation versus getting a lot of support from the home crowd. we saw the support for mo farah and i would hope it was similar for mo farah and i would hope it was similarfor her mo farah and i would hope it was similar for her competing this morning? as soon as a british

athlete is introduced to the crowd, there is a wall of noise. there is tens of thousands of people in the london stadium and that home support is fantastic for these british athletes. what an experience for them. you will see how mo farah dealt with it last night. a sensational performance for him. he really used the crowd to lift him in his performance. it was sensational, but on the other hand, you will see someone but on the other hand, you will see someone like martin rooney who actually competed in the 400 meters, just a little bit earlier, and in fa ct, just a little bit earlier, and in fact, he crashed out of the 400 meters and it was a tough test. perhaps, it was just too much for him in terms of the home crowd and the expectation. we can just turn here to des ray henry who has just competed. how was it for you? what was the crowd? we were just talking about having the home crowd out there. was it support or was it too much expectation? how did you find it? i thought it was amazing. it was the best support i ever received. rio was last year and the crowds

we re barely rio was last year and the crowds were barely empty and if anything and to come here and to see every seat filled, i feel proud and honoured. people love athletics and they have come down to support us. i'm so, so happy. fur' coming down, it really does make a difference to the athletes and myself. so yeah, i'm loving it. so your first performance on the track out of the way, how are you feeling? were you happy? not completely happy. now it isa happy? not completely happy. now it is a waiting game for me. i'm hoping my time was good enough to succeed to the semifinals. what would represent a successful championships for you today? i think by the end of the two weeks of the championships, coming away with a medal with myself and the relay girls, that's what we're going to be aiming for. you're looking forward to the relay. you girls put down a fantastic marker at the olympics, not too long ago, do you think you can follow it up with a medal? rio was only last year. it filled myself and the girls with

confidence and excitement. this time we're thinking it is our home ground. home advantage, let's go away and rocket and come home with the medal. where are you off to now? an ice bath? yes, wish me luck there. that was harder than racing! i wish you the best of luck and see you on the track soon. as you can see, she is a lively character and happy with her performance. she will have to see if she made it through, but jane, she has have to see if she made it through, butjane, she has used have to see if she made it through, but jane, she has used the have to see if she made it through, butjane, she has used the home support to her advantage and used it to will her on this her performance today. thank you very much indeed. thanks, jess kasmt more from you later and that's continuing. more from there all weekend throughout the championships and we will have more sports news coming up after 12.30. millions of rail passengers are facing three weeks of disruption as work to update

the uk's busiest railway station gets underway today. the revamp of london's waterloo station is costing £800 million. ten of the station's 19 platforms are being closed, which means a significantly reduced service while it is carried out this phase of the upgrade is due to be finished by 28th august. let's talk to our reporter at waterloo station, simonjones. looking quieter than last time i spoke to you, simon, but you're probably in a different part of the station. explain what is happening and what sort of stories passengers have been telling you. yes, we have been moving around the station to give you an idea of what's going on throughout the course of the morning. now, already, this is the busiest station in the country. but the aim is to increase the capacity by 30%, but to do that, is going to be short—term pain for some long—term gain. by closing the ten

platform the idea is they are going to extend four of them to take increasingly longer trains so they can carry more passengers. now people here just getting can carry more passengers. now people herejust getting on can carry more passengers. now people here just getting on to trains you can see up there on the platform information that services are rubbing, but they are vastly reduced because of lack of capacity, but what they have done interestingly is re—open the five platforms. they haven't been used very often because they were formally used by eurostar trains when they used to come into this terminal to get passengers to paris. now, eurostar has moved to st pancras. these are mothballed, but they have been reopened to try to ta ke they have been reopened to try to take some of the capacity, but it's not going to be enough and that's why the rail companies and network railare why the rail companies and network rail are advising people not to travel if they don't have to, even saying to workers, consider taking a summer holiday now so you don't have to commute in when there is going to be problems. but some of the passengers i have spoken to this

morning are finding it frustrating. i was trying to goat milford and i don't know when that's going to happen because the trains that are running are delayed. so it's a mess. it's an absolute mess. my boyfriend lives in earlsfield and he will have a nightmare getting to work. i'm just trying to get there now and it's crazy. it is supposed to not be affected on saturdays and already within one day, i mean it'sjust a nightmare. they are not even telling us nightmare. they are not even telling us how long the trains are delayed. transport focus say they will be among forking the situation. there is concern over what is going to happen during rush hour on monday particularly people trying to leave this station on monday evening, and they will be looking at monday morning as a particular pinch point. that organisation feels there should be additional compensation for

passengers who will have to face the three weeks of misery. at the moment south—west trains are saying it will be normal compensation so the time cable has been changed so you won't get compensation and you will only get compensation and you will only get it if your train has been delayed. this was the explanation from south—west trains. compensation will be available throughout august. we have been talking to passengers more about 12 months now as well trying to raise awareness of the works and get people to understand the impact on your journeys. for people to understand the impact on yourjourneys. for some people that means not travelling or working from home. if passengers are disrupted during august, there is compensation procedures in place and they are on our website. 1,000 extra staff are being brought in. it is noisy as a train departs, but if things go according to plan, the work will be done within around

three weeks, but network rail say they've got 500,000 bottles of water to hand out to customers and also 100,000 ice creams if things get a little bit heated! all right, thank you very much. simonjones there, keeping us up—to—date with everything that's happening at london waterloo. thank you very much and we will keep you across any developments there. the irish prime minister leo varadkar is continuing his first official visit to northern ireland. the taoiseach, who is gay, is attending belfast pride today. yesterday he focused on brexit with a strongly worded speech suggesting that a bilateral customs union could be the best way for the uk to deal with the issue of northern ireland's border with the republic. 0ur ireland correspondent chris buckler explains. the irish border has become a divisive issue in the debate about brexit. the scores of completely open roads that connect northern ireland and the republic carry huge amounts of traffic and trade, and on his first official visit north of the border as ireland's prime minister, leo varadkar insisted that the free movement of people,

goods and services should continue here after the uk leaves the eu. perhaps the biggest challenge for our generation is brexit. every single aspect of life in northern ireland could be affected by the outcome. we will do all that we can in brussels, london and dublin to achieve the best outcome for everybody on this island, to protect our peace, our freedoms, our rights and our prosperity. mr varadkar has also been meeting northern ireland's main political parties, including the dup, who supported brexit. they've taken exception to some of his recent comments that were critical of those he called the "hard brexiteers". some of the party's members have also questioned his decision to attend and event this morning as part of belfast pride. the organisation is campaigning for the introduction of same—sex marriage in northern ireland which in the past the dup has blocked. mr varadkar is openly gay and campaigned during the republic's marriage equality referendum two years ago.

but the democratic unionists have suggested he shouldn't interfere with social issues within northern ireland. brexit is, however, expected to have an impact on both sides of the border and as a result the irish government are likely to remain very vocal as the uk continues to negotiate its departure from the eu. the headlines on bbc news: mo farah says he will overcome a leg injury to defend his 5,000 metre world title after winning what he said was the "toughest race" of his life to retain his 10,000 metre crown. rail companies have warned of significant delays at waterloo station in london for the next three weeks. ten of the station's 19 platforms are closed for construction work. and on his first official visit to

northern ireland, the irish prime minister has called for unique solutions to preserve the relationship between the uk and the eu after brexit. theresa may's former chief—of—staff, nick timothy, has been speaking to the daily telegraph to explain where he thinks the general election campaign went wrong for the conservatives. he says that when she became prime minister, theresa may understood that the country wanted fundamental change, but he says, "it was a reassurance and continuity campaign rather than a change campaign and i think that was wrong." after the election, the chancellor philip hammond criticised the campaign, saying the conservatives should have focused more on their economic record. mr timothy seems to accept that. he says, "it probably is true that there should have been more on the economy during the campaign". however although he accepts some criticism of the campaign he helped run, he warns the tories not to go to their comfort zone saying, "if the party retreats

to a much more orthodox conservative proposition, we risk the election of a dangerous leftwing alternative". earlier i spoke to our political correspondent leila nathoo and asked her about the significance of the interview. it is quite a lengthy interview with nick timothy who it has to be said was at the heart of government. he was one of theresa may's inner circle. he along with fiona hill were her two key advisers and played a role in the election. he was one of the co authors of that manifesto which seemed to not go so well for the conservative party, but i have to say in this lengthy interview, there are no huge revelations as you might expect from someone who had that kind of access, that kind of insight into the campaign and into theresa may. we didn't learn anything new as such about theresa may. what she was like to work with. we've heard a bit of reflection. no real tone of contrition though for perhaps throwing away that

majority that the tories thought that they would have. he's talking about the fact that they shouldn't have pushed the continuity message and stuck to the message of change with hindsight, perhaps he says it shouldn't have been a presidential campaign that the conservative party ended up running and he does say that he thinks that they probably under estimated jeremy corbyn, but i think it's a bit more of a broad brush look. what you certainly get he is remaining extremely loyal to theresa may. he's not going to spill the beans. still very much in support of her as the right person to lead the country. saying that she has done well to turn things around after the election. so much of that is interesting because you talk about no particular sign of contrition. people listening to this, nick timothy and fiona hill were not household names. these were inner circle people, but we can't overstate the role they played with theresa may and in the election campaign. so people reading the telegraph might think you had

a lot to do with this? absolutely. they did fall on their swords. they resigned in the aftermath of the election because of their role and there had been accusations that they had run a very closed circle and there was no — he admits in this article that there was perhaps better communication that could have been had with others in government and in whitehall, but there were accusations that they had really run things just of them, but i don't think there is much of an apology here, not really any hint of you know i hold my hands up and this is where we went wrong. he does have a bit of advice, you saw there that he is advising the tory party not to retreat into traditional conservatism and advising theresa may to stick with that social care reform which was a stumbling block in the campaign. he was the architect of that policy, but he is sticking to his guns

and he is defending a lot and advising theresa may to stick with promising to intervene in markets. so various hints of what i think we can expect in his regular column that will be coming in the telegraph. he will be writing for the sun in the coming months too. i don't think it will be a tell all that we might get a few more insights down the line. a british computer expert has appeared before a judge in las vegas charged with creating software to steal bank details. prosecutors say 23—year—old marcus hutchins had admitted writing and selling the malware code, but his lawyer said his client denied all the charges against him. james cook reports from las vegas. marcus hutchins appeared before a us federaljudge in a las vegas courtroom. the prosecution said he'd admitted writing computer code designed to steal banking details and also claimed there was evidence that he'd discussed how to split the profits with an accomplice. but his lawyer says he denies all the charges against him.

how's he doing? he's holding up. and his ce—werkers and the cemmgruht—f supportive for him. indeed, many fellow cyber security experts regard marcus hutchins as a hero for stopping an attack which caused chaos for the nhs and spread to 150 countries around the world. mr hutchins had been living it up in las vegas, partying at mansions, driving fast cars and shooting at gun ranges. the fbi moved in at the airport as he was about to fly home to the uk. he's due in court in wisconsin on tuesday. until then, thejudge here ordered his release on bail, subject to conditions which include surrendering his passport and gps monitoring. marcus hutchins appeared in court in las vegas right at the end of the working week. his lawyers had just a few minutes to scramble together his bail money, but by the time they had done so, the court had closed, which means he will have to spend

the weekend injail. greater manchester police are investigating reports of an acid attack in salford. the man, who is in his 20s, has eye and face injuries, but it's not yet known how badly hurt he is. the un will vote on tough new economic sanctions today that seeks to deprive north korea of $1 billion in revenues as the united states attempts to stitch together an international coalition to convince the regime to halt its nuclear programme. the us—drafted resolution proposes a drastic export ban on key products in retaliation for two intercontinental ballistic missile tests last month. i spoke to sir emerones parry.

he's the uk's former ambassador to the united nations. he told me today's vote has left the us with very few options in dealing with the threat from north korea. there are probably three options. 0ne there are probably three options. one is diplomatic discussions, negotiation and for the moment that certainly steams stalled. the second is security council action and the third would be very unattractive and that's a military option. so, for lack of any other option which is better at the but ,,;in. ~ , and ié*:’ and as ,.,7,:1,._;r " and as you ‘ :*,7._;r " a ,7—— fl — fl—f— §fi§¥4 ou've meal m” —— ééécf—gyou've outlined ' i" ' h l"; £95“? you've outlined the! w ' ” e ' e appreciate you've outlined the three, but that's the problem, isn't it? the sanctions haven't worked before. so is the idea that they just become progressively more punitive? well, it worked in the

sense that many of the things that the north koreans were doing, they can no longer do. there is a degree of implementation of those sanctions. so exports into north korea which are prohibited, that's working and i think most of the exports from north korea are abouts being unhibted. the challenge is what influence does that have on the regime? for the moment, what influence does that have on the regime? forthe moment, not what influence does that have on the regime? for the moment, not enough as we have seen from successive ballistic missile tests. a lot depends on china, whether china is prepared to use its influence or will that influence is overstated and whether or not the united states, perhaps the united nations itself, through the good offices of the secretary general, will be prepared to get into some meaningful negotiation with the regime to see if they can find a way through. but we are on a path which is more

punitive restrictions on the regime. the trump administration talks a lot about china and it seems to outsiders puts a lot of pressure on china as if it does have huge influence. perhaps you are suggesting, are you suggesting that the trump administration thinks china has even more influence than it possibly does? i am not commenting on the trump administration, but in terms of per setions of china, yes, it has a certain influence. it's a neighbour, but it has real interests, if there was a breakdown within north korea, the influx of north koreans into china would be a major problem for china. it is a very difficult agreement and even for china, getting a response from the leadership, very difficult. but what we need is china to be engaged and russia and for the six party talks involving both koreas, the united

states and japan, we need those to be engaged. i think that's part of what the resolution would be calling for tonight. whistle—blowers at youtube say the company's child protection measures are failing. volunteers known as trusted flaggers who monitor the site for accounts that exploit children accuse the video—sharing site of failing to deal with a huge backlog of reports of abuse. mike wendling reports. youtube is used by more than 1.5 billion people around the world each month and it's a favourite of kids and teens. one of the measures keeping them safe is a group of volunteers known as trusted flaggers. they scour the site looking for material which breaks youtube's rules, but whisle—blowers from inside the programme had told youtube's rules, but whistle—blowers from inside the programme had told

the bbc the site has a huge backlog of complaints. the complaints are not about child pornography, but rather sexually explicit comments left on videos posted by teenagers and children. 0ne volunteer told the bbc he made more than 9,000 reports over eight months ago and none of them have been protests. have been procesed. months ago and none of them have been processed. they also claim that members of the public who report material are unlikely to get a response. youtube, owned by google, said in a statement that it strictly prohibits content which sexually exploits minors. the whistle—blowers say that youtube needs to increase money and staff devote increase money and staff to child safety. it's time for a look at the weather. here's jay wynne. a mixed bag. some heavy showers and rumbles of thunder. with the breeze coming in from the north—west, it won't be overly warm. the showers will be heavy and thundery. to the

north of that, a scattering of showers, but some spells of sunshine too. the best of the dry weather, it will be across the far south and west. 18 celsius in plymouth. around about 21 celsius in london. this evening and overnight, showers fade away from most areas. there will be thicker cloud and rain heading towards northern ireland. that will keep temperatures up here, but for many, in double figures for major towns and cities, but for rural spots and particularly northern england, well into low figures. so a chilly start to the day for some. a bright start for central and eastern areas. much of the midlands and eastern england, it is a decent day. light winds and temperatures should get into the low 20s. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines: mo farah says he will overcome a leg injury to defend his 5,000 metre world title after winning what he said was the "toughest

race" of his life , to retain his 10,000 metre crown. the action at the london stadium continues this morning with the start of the heptathlon. britain's katarina johnson—thompson kicks off her bid for a gold medal medal in the heptathlon with the 100 metres hurdles. train companies have warned of significant delays at waterloo station in london. ten of the 19 platforms will be closed for construction work work for more than three weeks from today. sport now, and time for a full round up from the bbc sport centre.
