joel root escaped. so to ben stokes, west indian catching not up to speed with their bowling. it cost, it a lwa ys with their bowling. it cost, it always does with ben stokes. consistent, poignant, as a boy, he would have been among them. he put a stop to all of that, joe root was gone for 59. having correct one earlier mistake, one remained outstanding. ben stokes is often outstanding, having been dropped, he became uncatchable. 98, out of nowhere, a chance. rage was understandable. later came the century that i never have happened and upon which, england have relied. gabriel, the man whose catching or a lack of allowed stokes two reaches a hundred, ended his innings. that was goodbye or see you later. england 258 all out and they got powell before the close. for them this was a day that should have gone far

better, it could have been far worse. it is international cricket, there is no such thing as an easy game. the seam bowlers did a really good job. it picked up wickets when they needed to. i thought they bowled well as a team. floyd mayweather ankara mcgregor have weighed in for this super fight in las vegas. it looks certain to break pay—per—view records. mayweather is the favourite, mcgregor, ufc‘s biggest star but the underdog. chris eubank thinks the irishman can cause the big shock that not many expect. everything is possible. that man in mcgregor has the will. i am a spectator, i am a fan of boxing, i don't choose sides between mayweather or mcgregor. the one who is willing to dig deep is, the one who is willing to show me. show me

what rocky inspired in may. doing what rocky inspired in may. doing what is mad and crazy. extraordinary. that man is coming from a place of hunger. in mcgregor. if indeed, mcgregor boxes him and tries to be clever there, then there is only one winner and to me, mayweather cannot lose that fight. if he brings that celtic warrior and makes a fight, and ugly fight of this, everything and anything could happen and that is why i am here. that is why i have travelled here to see. it is not a forest, it is a forest is if he uses his tools the wrong way. sarah hunter believes it would be indescribable if england retain the england —— but with the rugby world cup. the coach says everything we have done in the past two years everything we have done in the past two yea rs has everything we have done in the past two years has led to this, the two

sides go head—to—head for a fourth time ina sides go head—to—head for a fourth time in a world cup final. from belfast, sara orchard reports. it has been described as one of the greatest rivalries in british sport. when england and new zealand made on the pitch at the kingspan stadium it will be a familiar story for the rugby world cup final, because they have not met once or twice, they have not met once or twice, they have met three times. fortune has a lwa ys have met three times. fortune has always favoured the black ferns. they have beaten england in every final they have played them in. the black ferns have never lost a rugby world cup final. they are the four—time champions and they backed themselves to win a fit. when it comes to rivalry, emily skerrett knows how deep this runs. they are the games you look forward to. the games where you beat teams by four oi’ games where you beat teams by four or five tries. they are good but they are not why you play rugby, you play rugby for the tough ones you have to grind out, where you have to be astute with your decisions and all that sort of stuff. i really hope it will be one of those games, it is teed up to be a fantastic test

match as it should be for a world cup final. england will be looking to retain the title that they won backin to retain the title that they won back in 2014 when they beat canada. a record global audience for women's world —— rugby world cup final is expected. for the semifinal, world —— rugby world cup final is expected. forthe semifinal, it attracted a french tv audience of around 3 million. who is going to win? even the bookies cannot call it. it is expected to be that close. it is rugby league challenge cup final tomorrow at wembley with hull fc ticking on wigan, halla looking to retain the traffic they won following a thrilling victory last year but the warriors are looking to become the first side to win the competition 20 times. become the first side to win the competition 20 timesli become the first side to win the competition 20 times. i think of all the talk of dynasty ‘s, we are coming here to win a cup final. that is what we want to do and all the rest of that will take care of itself. all the plaudits and the names will follow. not

overconfident. we have a lot of respect for hull but we have had a great trading week. the players have done well and if we do what we have practice and stick to the game plan, make sure we have a clear head, we did not have a chance. formula 1 returns after is mid—season break and lewis hamilton has sent an earlier message to sebastien vettel. the mercedes driver was fastest in second practice today before the customary belgian weatherboard early end to proceedings. tom clarkson was watching. formula 1 sprung back into life here. and as befits a bank holiday weekend in the uk, the weather is playing its part. bright sunshine this morning saw kimi raikkonen for ferrari fastest of eve ryo ne raikkonen for ferrari fastest of everyone and then this happens. rain this afternoon but there were some dry laps at the start of the second practice session, during which lewis

martin tweedy after he crossed the line third in third and final. that is all from me. good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are susie boniface, columnist with the daily mirror and the public affairs consultant alex deane. tomorrow's front pages... starting with. .. the financial times, which leads with donald trump's tax reform plans — saying that the president is hungry for a "legislative win". the mail reports on plans to prioritise vulnerable people who have been victims of crime — claiming that people who speak good english might not be prioritised.

the times claims that private schools are encouraging pupils to learn a trade rather than go to university. the mirror leads with a weight loss story — loose women presenter lisa riley has had loose skin removed following a diet. the i features a story on queues at airports — both for british citizens and foreign tourists. the express warn their readers that a heatwave is on the way for the upcoming bank holiday. the telegraph say that buckingham palace is in lockdown tonight after a knife attack on police officers on the model. so let's begin... donald trump, front page of the financial times eyeing an ambitious tax reform agenda. this is a man,

not much of what he promised has yet come to past. he wants to get on the front foot and tax reform is the issue which has been number one on the agenda for the republicans. personal tax, income tax as well. it is the big challenge for this president moving beyond declaration to actually deeds and changing things. that is why as the financial times identifies, he is going to come into difficulties that the arguments he has been having with his own party, with the speaker of the house, paul ryan and the senate majority leader mitch o'connell because he will need their help in delivering tax reform and to state the obvious given what has happened in this country, we have lowered corporation tax and our corporations pay more tax than ever. we have lowered our higher rate of income tax. it is that kind of basic reform that donald trump wants to deliver in the united states. he is having the wrong kind of argument about whether debt ceiling is and whether it has to go up yet again. no easy

thing with the senate and the house poised as they are for real tax cuts. this would bejob's poised as they are for real tax cuts. this would be jobs first real reform and he is not helping himself at the arguments he has against his own side. the financial times is right, he is making his own life more difficult. the reason that he is hungry for a legislative win is because all he has had its losses. tax reform was one of the big planks he campaigned for, it is also something which his businesses that he has not divorced himself from entirely stand to gain from quite a lot. his own children will probably gain hundreds of millions if not billions from suggested reforms of the inheritance tax that they have in the us, which is one of the things he wants to put forward and alex has referred to, he is having big arguments with paul ryan, the leader of the republicans in congress and also with the senate leader mitch o'connell and if he wants to get tax reform through the house, he needs their help to do it.

if he is going to do this and try and push, one of these big cells he made to the american people through, he has to do it before he upsets them any more than he already has. time is of the essence. what is the argument against these? i take your point about raising revenues, not eve ryo ne point about raising revenues, not everyone agrees, but still, where does trump get the opposition? everyone agrees, but still, where does trump get the opposition7m everyone agrees, but still, where does trump get the opposition? it is contentious because there are some who think we ought to make the wealthy pay their share and becomes an ideological point, almost i do not care what your statistics say, i know we should have a higher rate of tax to make people pay more. you almost do not care whether it delivers more money, it is to be able to say that you are taxing the wealthy more. inheritance tax is a special point in that many people, even those who never realistically payette,

resented, because they aspire to have the kind of estates where they would pass something onto the children. it is taxing you on something you have already been taxed on. it is taxing you when you try to hand something onto your children, it is a tax on love. it is a tax that redistributes through society. it attempts to. the american system is slightly different to ours. when someone has a huge amount of wealth, like donald trump, he has billions of dollars worth of tax and property, it gets taxed at such a rate that it gets broken up and get spread around. donald trump inherited a lot of money from his father. probably more than he has ever made. you get taxed on everything in life, taxing your new death seems pretty cheap. let us move to this side of the atlantic. the times main story. top schools push bubbles away from university. the privately educated advice to learn trades. not what you expect. the times is trying to say that posh pupils are doing the tags and they have been doing vocational courses and they're going to be plumbers.

because degrees are so overrated and cost too much. there are several points in the story that are fascinating. the first is that what has happened is that this has happened in independent schools since tuition fees came in and because the eventual lifetime cost of repairing some of those fees for people who are going to be doing well will be more than £100,000 over your lifetime and people are starting to think, do a need to get a degree? am i going to be a lawyer ora a degree? am i going to be a lawyer or a teacher or something or am i going to be working on my father's large country estate '5 work i need to know about animal husbandry? they're stopping to ask themselves a question because of the costs involved and i'm sure this is something that pupils at normal state schools are doing in far greater numbers. the other thing thatis greater numbers. the other thing that is interesting is of the 452 independent schools who have submitted how many pupils are getting the text and a—levels, only

700 -- 603 of getting the text and a—levels, only 700 —— 603 of them took the text. 603 pupils in the schools is a tiny proportion, and across the country, 376,000 state school pupils are taking btecs. there may be a bit of a trend, but it is not swamping us... a trend, but it is not swamping us... the numbers are relatively small but there is a trend in that direction and i for one welcome it. for some time in our country we had a perverse belief in arbitrary numbers and saying, 50%, as the then labour government said, should go to university. there are problems at both ends of the spectrum,
