be a all-night celebration. by evening, the night sky was crackling with expectation. reece prescod, britain's only finalist, was first out to a wall of noise. they saved the bolt to last. but the warning signs had been there, beaten, first time infouryears signs had been there, beaten, first time in four years in the semifinal by young american christian common. bould's starts had been shaky. at the start, he looked to the heavens for divine intervention one last time. christian coleman's leading—edge, bolt going to catch on. common has the lead, gatlin wins eight! confusion swept around the stadium, this eight! confusion swept around the stadium, this wasn't eight! confusion swept around the stadium, this wasn't in eight! confusion swept around the stadium, this wasn't in this eight! confusion swept around the stadium, this wasn't in this great, there would be no 12 ordinal world title, there were no dream goodbye. the crowd doctor what they thought of the result. bolt was their darling, gatlin there pantomime
10:03 pm
villain. two—time drug cheat, now a threetime world champion. bould has really had to settle for second best, never mind the. his legacy is secure. let's speak to our sports editor, dan roan. no one predicted this, that's forshaw, but usain bolt will go down in history as possibly the best printer who ever lived? absolutely, but wasn't meant to be this way. usain bolt was meant to win his final 100m individual race, not come third, and not be beaten by a two—time drugs cheat injustin gatlin. it's the last thing the sport would have wanted as it looks towards a new era. it would have much preferred a young, upcoming runner to take usain bolt‘s title away from him, notjustin gatlin. entry, bolt struggled in the lead up

10:05 pm
for tough new sanctions on north korea, after pyongyang's recent intercontinental ballistic missile tests. it means there's now a ban on certain north korean exports — including coal, iron and lead — depriving the regime of kimjong—un of more than £1 billion a year. pyongyang has been under un sanctions for almost a decade, but has refused to end its missile and nuclear programmes. from the un in new york, nick bryant reports. this was a show of ambition and menace. north korea last month testing and intercontinental ballistic missile that appeared capable of reaching the american mainland. west coast cities such as los angeles and even beyond. it's this kind of brinkmanship that is intensified diplomacy in the united nations security council. and later a deal the united states and china, north korea's ally, to impose tough,
10:06 pm
new sanctions. this is the most stringent set of sanctions on any country in a generation. these sanctions will cut deep, and in doing so, would give the north korean leadership a taste of the deprivation they have chosen to inflict on the north korean people. every country must ensure these measures are adhered to. every country must live up to work word. this time, there is too much at sta ke. this time, there is too much at stake. simply cannot afford to fail. most of north korea's export trade goes across this border into china, and pyongyang could be described —— denied to a third of its trade. but they don't limit oil deliveries, a move that would have a crippling effect on the economy and potentially a collapsing effect on the pyongyang regime. translation: we hope the parties will take immediate work to prevent further escalation and immediate

10:10 pm
translation: today, unfortunately, the temperature was so high, we had to tell the workers to come later when it's cooler. we all suffer, the machines suffer, the vineyard suffers. the fight here against the sun to save the grape and wine industry is reflected in vineyards across europe. but the wider impact has led to some governments to warn people to stay indoors in the afternoon because of the threat to public health. in the balkans, authorities have been advising people to stay indoors and increase their water intake. in hungary, it's about keeping cool and carrying on, and there's strong advice from hungarian officials. translation: ask elderly people if they need help and offer to do their shopping for them. don't let them go to market in this heat. we also draw your attention to adequate fluid replacement for children and infants. he says it's very hot where he is,

marseille in france. it's a0 degrees. staying hydrated while travelling has been a key message here. this is galicia in northern spain — flames turning the sky red and shutting highways. here in sicily, the usually packed summer streets look more like ghost towns. for those hoping for a break from europe's heatwave, temperatures are expected to return to some normality late next week. this is something scientists predict we should get used to, though, suggesting global warming will lead to more of us being exposed to extreme weather patterns in the years to come. the prime minister of the irish republic, leo varadkar, says it's "only a matter of time," before same—sex marriage is introduced in northern ireland, the only part of the uk, where it's banned.
10:12 pm
mr varadkar spoke while attending a gay pride event in belfast, from wherejohn campbell reports. this could be the single biggest parade in northern ireland this year. a sign of changing times. uniformed police officers were taking part for the first time. today is about inclusion and representation for the police service of northern ireland. we represent all sections of society. leo varadkar shows the change which has happened in the republic of ireland. he is the country's first openly gay prime minister. the state he leads voted to allow same—sex marriage two years ago, but in northern ireland, it is still outlawed. he said he had come to this event as a gesture of solidarity and expected the law will change here. i think it's only a matter of time.
10:13 pm
it's a decision for the northern ireland assembly, but i'm confident that, like other western european countries, they will make that decision in due course. those comments were welcomed by pride organisers. northern ireland is still lagging behind the rest of the uk in terms of laws enacted there but not here. it's time we as a community demand change, we demand the same rights as the rest of the united kingdom. the devolved administration, which will have to make a decision on marriage laws here, is currently suspended, because of a dispute between the dup and sinn fein. but during the last period of government, the dup were able to veto the measure which would have led to same—sex marriage. mr varadkar‘s intervention may increase the pressure to change the law. but this is a society where religious conservatives remain influential.
10:14 pm
and that change will be resisted. back to our tom storey and usain bolt‘s shock defeat at the world athletics championships in london. viewers would have to say after the loss. it's killing me. normallyl would get better through the rounds, but didn't come together. that's what kills me. i knew it would not come together, and that's why i didn't get it. that's just one of those things. with the rest of the day's sport, here's katherine downes at the bbc sport centre. england are in a commanding position after day two of the final test against south africa. they were bowled out for 362 and james anderson took four wickets at his home ground, old trafford, to hold
10:15 pm
the tourists to 220—9 at the end of the day's play. patrick gearey was watching. you can't visit this old trafford without being reminded of the other the sporting season's already beginning to change. come next weekend, the traffic will be heading to the other end of warwick road. but back at the cricket, the pace was premier league. wickets, runs, jonny bairstow providing the latter, holding england together. 90 minutes played, he was 99. focus, one more. 0h, played, he was 99. focus, one more. oh, johnny, we're sorry. more importantly, he got england to 362. now, james anderson bowling from the james anderson and ends, christened with his third ball today. england had three by tea. temba bavuma built for a while, same results, no faf du

plessis out, the game fast forward, jimmy with the controls. this was one of those spells, brilliance and nonchalance. south africa, no chance. quality is catching, by close in red hat nine wickets, anderson four. the end bearing his name, what's bat—like? anderson four. the end bearing his name, what's bat-like? the car, it isa name, what's bat-like? the car, it is a great honour for me. there name, what's bat-like? the car, it is a great honourfor me. there is a lot of mickey taking from the lads, but myjob is to take wickets, and those three wickets were key for the team. you can't get away from james anderson at old trafford, is a must on part of the grand, all over the scorecard, and may still be on the honours as well. there is one south african wickets today, and he will have his eye on it. the scottish premiership season has kicked off today, and celtic began the defence of their title with a convincing victory over hearts. scotland striker leigh griffiths scored twice in the 4—1 win at celtic park. there were also opening day wins for ross county, hibernian and stjohnstone.
10:17 pm
england's georgia hall is tied for second place at the women's british open at kingsbarns in fife. she double bogeyed holes 16 and 17 to slip to six shots behind the leader — ik kim of south korea, who finished the day on i7—under par after three rounds. alastair brownlee won't race again this season. the double olympic champion has had hip surgery on a recurrent injury and hopes the decision will prolong his career. details of the day's other sports stories are on the bbc sport website, including the british wheelchair tennis championships, where britain's alfie hewett is through to the final, and of course, there's all the latest from the world athletics championships — with reaction to usain bolt‘s race. many thanks for that. that's it. you can see more today's stories on the

home, i don't know that's going to happen. it's a mess. revise it's crazy, supposed to not be affecting on saturdays, it's nightmare. it has coincided with the beginning of the war the fighting is, which i'm involved with. i hope it doesn't like people trying to get there. simonjones like people trying to get there. simon jones speaking to like people trying to get there. simonjones speaking to passengers at waterloo. a preseason friendly between burnley and the german club hannover was abandoned earlier following crowd trouble. police said the decision was taken because of violent behaviour from a group of travelling hanover fans, who attempted to attack the home stands, as well as police officers and stewards. lancashire police said additional resources had been brought in from across the county. at 93, reg buttress from south wales is thought to be britain's oldest supermarket worker. now, after more than 30 years in his currentjob, he's decided it's time to retire. but it isn't the first time he's hung up his apron — he originally stopped working at the age of 65, but lasted only six weeks before asking for his job back.
