and they are regards to goods. and they are talking about imposing sanctions on china and on beijing if china does not cooperate. these threats that china may just not cooperate. these threats that china mayjust go back, and when it comes to north korea, they have already responded saying that sanctions or military threat will not work. now let's get the weather. it looks like in london and we have missed most of the showers this afternoon, fine freebie proceedings this evening. the showers have been quite potent, we have seen the worst clearing out the way in the last hour. it will be quite a chilly evening. temperatures expected to dip down into low single figures, not in the towns and cities, but at two or three in the glens of scotla nd two or three in the glens of scotland that will give a touch grass frost. it means a lovely start tomorrow morning for most of the country but not all. as is often the
7:31 pm
case, it is quite fickle, we have surely rhian in northern ireland. by that stage, it is a lot brighter for northern ireland and we should hold on to be dry and bright weather. that is where we will have the higher temperatures. feeling cool in the showers and rain elsewhere, particularly with the wind coming in off the atlantic ocean. next week is still looking rather unsettled and is the summer holidays for many as well, not great news. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: in the last few minutes, world's fastest man usain bolt sprinted into tonight's 100m final as he attempts to win a 12th world title. also through to the final is british sprinter reece prescod. italian police say a 20—year—old british model was drugged, kidnapped and put up for sale on the internet in milan last month. a polish man, who lives
7:32 pm
in the uk, has been arrested in connection with the crime. a british hacker, praised for helping to stop a cyber attack on the nhs, is spending the weekend in an american prison, accused of creating malware for stealing bank details. now on bbc news, sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday, with me katherine downes. the headlines this evening: a last blast from bolt — the jamaican superstar goes for his 4th and final 100 metres world title before retirement. high drama here at the london stadium because bolt was beaten in that semifinal but he is into tonight's final. and mo farah says he will make it back onto the track, despite a bruising ten thousand meters.
7:33 pm
also coming up in the programme: england on top in the final test of the series against south africa — james anderson with four wickets at old trafford. a few people have written me off in the big races, i know i can raise my game when i need to. the hardest pa rt game when i need to. the hardest part for me is... good evening. yes, we've got cricket to come, and the football season started this weekend but there is only one place to start this evening, and that's at the london stadium where usain bolt is hoping to go out in a blaze of glory, running his final individual 100 metres before retiring and he wants to go out with gold. olly foster is there for us. just a few moments ago we saw him in
7:34 pm
the semifinal and he didn't win it. no, he did not, he didn't have to do. in these three semifinals it is the top two who go through no matter what the time and then the two fastest losers. it was always going to bea fastest losers. it was always going to be a tough semifinal for usain bolt, remember how awful he was in yesterday's heat, blaming the blocks. he is never that explosive to get that enormous frame up out of the blocks. he always makes up the time. kristian coleman, who was in this heat, he has been tipped for greatness, perhaps one of those men who will win a future world titles, one of those man who could win this world title. they both eased down, but usain bolt just world title. they both eased down, but usain boltjust looked across to coleman and said, i was on your shoulder, i am going to see you in the final. coleman, from america, he
7:35 pm
is 21, almost ten years usain bolt‘s junior, he crossed the line in 9.97, usain bolt 9.9 eight. the only two men from the semifinals to dip below ten seconds, is noticeably quite slow. perhaps they are saving their best for that final. it was high drama, because as the crowd looked to see what the time was for official clarification, usain bolt‘s name did not come up in second place. we could see clearly he had given second, he knew he had given seconds and he wiped away the screen, he said, get that rubbish down, and they clarified he had qualified for the final. we are going to get that at 945. who else is through? reece prescod, the 21—year—old, as the junior they said he was the british bolt because he
7:36 pm
is tall and gangly, the same running style. he came second in his, look how he burst through on the outside beside yohan blake. reece prescod came second, he is on tonight's final, an absolute dream for him. cj ujah did not go through. he was in the next lane to usain bolt. in the first heat, james dasaolu, he was very, very disappointed with his ten point to two seconds. if he had run as he has done over the past couple of weeks he would have got into that final, but it was the south african who won that and justin gatlin. a little while after he stepped off the track, i spoke to a very despondentjames the track, i spoke to a very despondent james dasaolu. the track, i spoke to a very despondent james dasaolum
7:37 pm
the track, i spoke to a very despondent james dasaolu. it didn't go well at all, i just despondent james dasaolu. it didn't go well at all, ijust ran 1022, one of my slowest times of the year so far, i ran10.13 of my slowest times of the year so far, i ran 10.13 last year. yesterday, three weeks ago, i ran 10.06, ifi yesterday, three weeks ago, i ran 10.06, if i ran it again i would be through to the final. i am just trying to move on. that is the gutting thing, it gatlin, he didn't tearup gutting thing, it gatlin, he didn't tear up the trees. that was nothing special. in past games i have ran 9.9to make special. in past games i have ran 9.9 to make the final. this year, 10.0 six, ten point 09. a missed opportunity. james dasaolu's campaign is over, he did not get picked for the relay either. he is disappointed he didn't execute as he should. we wait for the men's 100 should. we wait for the men's100 metre final is at about quarter to ten tonight, if the schedule goes to
7:38 pm

7:42 pm
athletics track after usain bolt called it a day in the next couple of hours. we are going to say goodbye to usain bolt as an individual athlete. wayde van niekerk is absolutely fabulous, he looked comfortable is getting into the semifinals of the 400 metres. we also had the 800 metres on the track, the first heat is. it was all going on on the track, so much to keep across to date. another sell—out, very rare. all the sessions pretty much have been sell—outs so far. i know it is fairly early. let's show you what happened in the 800 metres, another very good one for the british men, all three of them made it through to the next age, elliott giles was the quickest, ninth quickest overall. kyle langford also qualified. let's hear from elliott giles about racing in front of this fantastic london crowd at the london stadium.
7:43 pm
in front of this fantastic london crowd at the london stadiumlj in front of this fantastic london crowd at the london stadium. i think it's all about staying relaxed and these things. it is easy to get caught up in the moment, it can become quite overwhelming. i looked at it as a normal race without the pressure and estate, all the way through. i think it paid off, i could have been in real trouble. i've still got 200 to go. it went to plan. it was a really good morning, three british women in the 100 metres as well. coming through the first seats to reach the next round of the 100 metres in the women. whilst all that was going on, we had oui’ whilst all that was going on, we had our eyes on the hammered cage in the middle, qualification forthe women's hammer, sophie hitchon, she won a surprise bronze at the olympics and rio last year. this is qualification for monday's might final, shejust needed qualification for monday's might final, she just needed the one through. 73 metres, job done, she

7:45 pm
today and he spoke to brendan foster. there was never a doubt i was going to lose that raise no matter what they did. it was a matter what they did. it was a matter of mentally focusing. if i could have lost that raise, i would have been facing the crowd... letting the gap goal. if geoffrey went off, i've got a big, massive 93p- went off, i've got a big, massive gap. that would have been harder to close. that's why i was conscious of how much of a gap i had. we are the? you were never nervous? yesterday was different for me in terms of how i've been all championship. it's knowing it's going to be the last ten kate. i was quiet all yesterday. people were like, what is wrong, mo? 20 crossed the line... it was beautiful, i really enjoyed it. it

7:48 pm
sports centre. let's bring you up—to—date with the rest of the sports news this evening, england have taken control of the final test against south africa. james anderson took four wickets at his home bred took four wickets at his home bred to hold so that about two 220—9, chasing 362 at the end of the second dates ‘s play. you can't visit this old trafford without being reminded of the other. the sporting season has already begun to change, come next weekend the traffic will be heading to the other end. while this old trafford has the attention, at least it has a game to hold it, england ahead in the series but not yet secure in the test. what happens next could be crucial. it all set off at premier league pace, jonny bairstow held england together, mixing the skills with the physical and at times be radical. —— the magical. 90 minutes played he was on 99, focus, one more. johnny was sorry. more importantly, he got england to 362, now james anderson bowling
7:49 pm

7:51 pm
griffiths made it a day to remember with the 200th club goal of his career. although hungry for a hat—trick, he was substituted soon after. for calum macgregor, it was third time lucky shooting from range. a clean sheet would have completed the perfect start to the season, but few would bemoan a consolation for hearts. after exiting the league cup and sacking their manager, their suffering fans were finally giving something to cheer thanks to this goal elsewhere in the scottish premiership, ross county beat dundee 2-1, hibs premiership, ross county beat dundee 2—1, hibs won at home and saint johnstone were 2—1winners at kumar. the english football league got underway last night but today marks the first full schedule of fixtures and john terry captained aston villa in his first game since leaving
