hamilton snatches the formula 1 championship lead with a win at the italian grand prix. and still the same at the top, chris froome extends his lead at the vuelta a espana with six stages left. there are just seven races left in this formula one season and lewis hamilton has taken the world championship lead for the first time this year. hamilton won today's italian grand prix after starting the race from a record 69th pole position. his mercedes team—mate valtteri bottas came second while hamilton's main title rival sebastian vettel finished in third place. tom clarkson reports from monza. after the torrential rain from qualifying the weather improved dramatically at monza on race day

and hamilton made hay while the sun was shining as nick powell and reports. the track is nicknamed the temple of speed but for lewis hamilton the italian grand prix would be a walk in the park. with the rookie lance stroll alongside him on the front row he was under little pressure from his record—breaking 69th start from pole position, he beat everyone to the first corner and never looked back. max verstappen was less fortunate tangle with felipe massa is all him come off and sent for repairs, he'd finished tenth. vettel was heading in the other direction, and ferrari's home race he started from sixth and got up to third but that was as far as he got. hamilton ‘s biggest challenge was keeping his concentration. he only surrendered his lead for a couple of laps during pit stops and went on to become the first driver to win back—to—back races this season and with his mercedes team at valtteri bottas

finishing ahead of vettel hamilton noted the championship by three points. the car was fantastic. a dream to drive. a big thank you to all the fans who came out today. i look forward to coming back next year. the start was tricky, i just needed to keep my head down, the car was so needed to keep my head down, the car was so strong today, like i said on the team radio it was amazing how quick we were. it was pure joy to drive. the pace was good, i enjoyed it, a perfect result isa team. good, i enjoyed it, a perfect result is a team. we didn't have the pace of the leading drivers today but nevertheless going round seeing people give soap and even if this rain has been difficult i know we have a very strong car and we will have a very strong car and we will have a very strong car and we will have a very strong end of the season. 50 have a very strong end of the season. so hamilton clearly revelling in his success and ferrari's backyard yet his attention will turn quickly to the singapore grand prix in two weeks' time. he

struggled there last year, will he turn things around this time or will vettel bounce back. there are sure to be more twists and turns in this 2017 season. froome has finished the second week of the vuelta a espana by extending his lead over vincenzo nibali. the tour de france champion finished fifth on stage 15, ahead of his closest rival which means he now leads by one minute and one second, with six stages left. drew savage has the details. all smiles on the start line but this would be another test for chris froome. his lead of 55 seconds was well protected by team sky as they approached the sierra, adam yates of britain, 32nd overall broke away to make a bid for a stage victory. team sky have strength in numbers, to beat chris froome you had to beat

them and that did not look likely. with two and a half miles to go adam yates's day was ruined by miguel and al lopez of columbia yet nobody could spoil things for the man in the red jersey. lopez got his second stage win to move to sixth place overall, chris froome in a group with his main rivals, looking over his shoulder to see vincenzo nibali six seconds behind. they take a well earned rest tomorrow and then chris froome has a chance to move further ahead in the time trial. golf, mcilroy araya, the defending champion, says he's waiting for the season to end after missing the cut at the dell championship in boston. the world in the ford hasn't won tournament in 2017 and had a second round to forget with four bogeys and a double bogey making a round of 7a. he has been plagued by injuries lately and said his play was sloppy. jon rahm

we will leave you with two of the brightest stars in football showing off their skills, while warming up for brazil, neymar and gabrieljesus did a lap of the pitch, just like this. north korea sparks a wave of condemnation after carrying out its most powerful nuclear test yet. it's said to be of an advanced hydrogen bomb — hailed as a ‘perfect success' by kimjong un‘s regime. mr president, will you attack north korea? we will see. we'll see, says president trump as he's asked if the united states will attack north korea we'll be exploring the possible consequences of this dramatic escalation in nuclear tensions. also on the programme: differences in the brexit talks are laid bare as david davis says it's silly for the eu to say

there's been little progress. hospital managers in england call for an emergency bail—out to pay for more staff and beds this winter. and lewis hamilton wins at monza to lead the f1 championship — spoiling the ferrari party at their home race. good evening. north korea's provoked strong international reaction after testing a hydrogen bomb that it says is capable of being loaded on to an intercontinental missile. it's the most powerful test of its nuclear weapons programme to date, condemned by the united states, south korea, britain — and china, north korea's only major ally. president trump is meeting his national security team today to discuss the situation.

the test took place at a site in the north east of the country. from seoul, in south korea, yogita limaye sent this report. north korea, announcing another nuclear test. a perfect success, says the newsreader. pyongyang claims to have detonated a hydrogen bomb. the world was alerted when tremors were detected at a known testing site in the north—east of the country. earlier photos were released of north korean leader kim jong—un inspecting what was said to bea jong—un inspecting what was said to be a nuclear device. the state claims it could be fitted to an intercontinental ballistic missile. if confirmed, it means pyongyang can and these long—range missiles.

weapons that put the us mainland within range. president trump responded on twitter, writing, the words and actions of north korea continued to be very hostile and dangerous to the united states. he added, talk of appeasement will not work, they only understand one thing. later, leaving church she was ask about military action. mr president, would you attack north korea? he said, we will see. for months the president of south korea has said talking to north korea was a solution. today he expressed outrage and disappointment. translation: north korea has made an absurd tactical mistake that committing a series of provocations like icbm missiles and conducting a nuclear test which is threatening world peace. it will isolate them further. it comes less than a week

after north korea launched this rocket that flew over his country. but it's the us that north korea considers its biggest enemy, and the latest test is a step forward in its goal towards making weapons that could strike america. certainly it is our feel that none of the military actions are good, the distance between north korea and south korea is very small, they could basically vaporise large parts of the south korean population even with conventional weapons. in seoul, the city home to thousands of people we are only 50 kilometres from the border with north korea and at any given time and massive weapons are pointed in this direction and that is why rather than take a military route the international community is trying to put economic pressure on pyongyang. but this is not working either. it has been less than a

month since strict sanctions were imposed on north korea. nothing appears to deter kim jong—nam. vincenzo nibali yogita limaye. after the latest — and most powerful — evidence of the extent of north korea's nuclear programme, what are the options for the international community? our diplomatic correspondent james robbins has been assessing the possible consequences. kimjong—un and his regime are simply refusing to bow to the outside world. why? well, partly because the regime is convinced that its survival depends on having the ultimate weapon as insurance against outside attack. but already, the north koreans have such an array of conventional weapons that they could kill hundreds of thousands of people, and maybe that's why they have ignored donald trump's warning to them last month. north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. but the fact is north korea has not

been stopped by that fiery rhetoric, and has now made a new threat which raises the question: can the west stop the north koreans? the us does have the means, the fire and fury. they could almost certainly destroy the regime eventually, but not before retaliation sparked appalling consequences for south korea japan and the wider region. so could the world live with a nuclear armed north korea? arguably, it may have to. and that would then mean relying on kimjong unto be rational... and north korea to accept the old cold war restraint that any use of nuclear weapons guarantees mutually assured destruction. no wonder north korea's immediate neighbour china is pushing hard for international talks with the regime to find some way forward. as most other options are fraught with very severe possible consequences,

i think in the end, one does come down to the line that this has got to be solved, unless you want catastrophe, by negotiation. but to some leading republicans, an american military response to all this looks inevitable. this was senator lindsey graham, talking hours before north korea's latest test. i am 100% certain that if kim jong—un continues to develop missile technology that can hit america, if diplomacy fails to stop him, there will be an attack by the united states against his weapon systems. the stakes with north korea have never been higher. the ultimate decision rests with president trump as america's commander—in—chief. let's get more of a sense of the global reaction. in a moment we'll speak to our correspondent john sudworth in beijing, but first to washington where we can

speak to richard lister. to what extent is their sense that this test takes us into a new phase as far as north korea is concerned? this is becoming the most urgent
