case, not for long. out for just seven, as australia's bowlers set about making life decidedly uncomfortable. they broke mark stoneman's helmet, and soon, it seemed, england's hopes. stoneman gone controversially for 56, the video umpire deciding it had just brushed his glove, to england's frustration. at 131—4, it seemed another tale of what if. but in the nick of time, a centurion emerged from the ranks — the unheralded dawid malan. yes, he rode his luck, dropped on 92, but together with jonny bairstow, he made australia pay. what a time to score your first test hundred. if the day belonged to england, the moment was all his. magnificent effort! it was so emotional. you know, i didn't really know what to do, when i got the hundred, i wasjust so emotional, i almost started crying, to be honest, when it happened. just when they needed it, england's best day of the series so far. there's still a long way to go in this match, but they've given themselves a chance.

in a series so far defined by disappointment, england will hope this just might be a turning point. andy swiss, bbc news, perth. newsnight is on bbc two. tonight we report from the primary school in the shadow of grenfell tower. how are the staff and students coping with the tragedy six months on? joins me now on bbc two. i'm katherine downes. just a few hours to go. england resume their quest to keep the ashes series alive. they are 305—4. british flat racing's most successful female jockey suspended for three months for breaking betting rules. and he can do this in his sleep, ronnie

finds time between naps to ease into the last 16 of the scottish open. good evening — finally england are in control of a test match in the current ashes series. middlesex batsman dawid malan hit his maiden test century, as england built a big first innings total in the 3rd test in perth. malan‘s partnership of 174 withjonny bairstow helped england close on 305 for 4 — they must avoid defeat to have any chance of retaining the urn. andy swiss reports from the waca. just when they needed it most england have produced their best day of this ashes series so far, they are ina of this ashes series so far, they are in a strong position now going in today two. it didn't begin well for them, they won the toss, chose to bat, alastair cook was out early for seven. is bad form continues.

joe root the captain went for 20. mark stoneman batted well, showed a great deal of courage, struck on the helmet and his bat broke at one point. he battled through to 56 before being co ntroversially battled through to 56 before being controversially given out, caught behind by the video umpire who decided it did just click his glove. at that point england were in trouble at 131—11. then a fantastic reply from david mellor and jonny ba i rstow, a reply from david mellor and jonny bairstow, a partnership which blossomed in the afternoon sunshine as australia's bowlers tired. jonny ba i rstow as australia's bowlers tired. jonny bairstow finished the day 75 not out. david milan 110 not out, his first ever test century. his ashes test in front of his watching pa rents. test in front of his watching parents. what a day it was for him. this is what he had to say after. it's been nice. i was under pressure coming to the game. it was nice to score some runs. especially when the tea m score some runs. especially when the team needed it. we're115—120

whatever it was, it was nice to it when the team needed it. to make sure i cashed in when i did get a start. australia, it looks like it would be another pace bowler paradise for them. the quicks were fast, fiery, hostile after lunch. mark stoneman had a torrid time. they were blunted in the afternoon sunshine by dawid malan and jonny ba i rstow. if you sunshine by dawid malan and jonny bairstow. if you dropped catches didn't help their cause. traditionally in perth when two batters getting it can be really difficult to get them out and you can score quickly and freely. i thought they played really well. we let one of them off late. they batted really well and showed us how you have to apply yourself on the weekend. if you do there are lots of out there. england have given

themselves a real opportunity of posting a big first—innings total going in today two. they haven't won a test here since 1978. if they lose this match, australia will regain the ashes. it's a long way to go. but they've given themselves a real chance. in the fa cup this evening fleetwood town have beaten hereford. cian bolger scored both goals from corners — one in each half — for the visitors. hereford's defeat means there won't be any non—league sides in round three. fleetwood go on to host leicester city — and their former playerjamie vardy. forward maro itoje will be fit in time to start england's six nations title defence against italy on 4 february. itoje had two plates inserted in his face after fracturing his jaw while playing for saracens against harlequins earlier this month. but the club say itoje faces a maximum of four more weeks in rehabilitation after visiting a specialist. onto racing now, and the most successful female jockey in british flat racing,

hayley turner says her three—month ban for breaching british horseracing authority betting rules is "harsh" and a "bitter pill to swallow". she staked 164 bets — at a profit of 160 pounds — over 18 months. 0ur correspondentjoe wilson was at her hearing this afternoon. during the hearing she was described as the most successful woman's jockey. she is a high profile figure within the sport, especially because of her media work. the reason jockeys are not allowed to bet on basesis jockeys are not allowed to bet on bases is obvious and very important, if jockey lined up in bases is obvious and very important, ifjockey lined up in a race with a bet on another horse in that the potential for corruption is obvious. at no stage did the bha consider her bets to have been a risk to the integrity of the sport, but by placing bets when she held the

professional jockeys placing bets when she held the professionaljockeys license, she was clearly in breach and the panel decided it was serious misconduct, suspending herfrom racing for three months. i clearly did break the rules and i think i've spent my whole adult life putting into the sport. more than i should have done. a bitter pill to swallow. the panel said he had been lax and complacent towards the rules of racing, the rules about not betting are there. you would have been aware. do you accept there has to be zero tolerance? i accept there has to be some sort of punishment, definitely, because i was in the wrong, absolutely. three months is quite harsh, though. ronnie 0'sullivan‘s impressive form is continuing at the scottish 0pen, despite the rocket taking a couple of quick naps during his match. here's ronnie getting a moment's sleep in between frames in glasgow. when he woke up — last week's uk championship winner came through by four frames to three against china's hang li

to progress to the last 16. this year's pdc world darts championship got under way at london's alexandra palace tonight, with defending champion michael van gerwen on top form. ‘mighty mike' tookjust over half an hour to beat fellow dutchman christian kist. the world number one won by three sets to one. after a career that's spanned 30 years and after winning 16 world titles phil the power taylor will finally hang up his darts at the end of the championships. taylor's farewell is one of the stories which makes the 25th edition of the event one of the most intriguing yet. and the man himself admits it's a very different game to the one he started playing all those years ago. it's different, there's a lot more money in it, the crowds are more... busier. they pay their money, you've got to play well. players have changed. they are younger now than they used to be. when i started most

we re they used to be. when i started most were middle—aged, now they are 16, 17, 18. it's very difficult to compete with these people. they are very cocky. then again you've got to be like that we've got to be cocky and confident. it's enough for me 110w. and confident. it's enough for me now. how have you stayed at the top so now. how have you stayed at the top so long? for me it was dedication, dedication, dedication, i didn't spend nights in a nightclub, i stayed in, didn't go anywhere, very boring life, but it paid off for me, it's been very lucrative for me, for sure. i wanted to win titles. my mum and dad bought me up if you do anything, make sure you do it right. you're only as good as your next tournament so that's what i did. lots of people in sport in particular, as fans when they are young, they forget what they were like when they've been doing the job for so long. of course you do, i've been doing it 30 years, i can remember what i did last week, never mind 1990. i've had a good career

and really enjoyed it, so it's time for me now to say bye bye and you carry on now. can you win this year? cani carry on now. can you win this year? can i win it, yeah, i could win it, of course. will i win it? i don't know. last chance to enjoy phil "the power" taylor. don't forget the second day of the third test, the crucial third ashes test, for england, starts at half past two on five live sports extra. england looking to build on the 305—4 tally they notched up on day one. that is all for now. coming up in a moment, the papers. thanks for watching. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are the political commentator jo—anne nadler and the campaigner and broadcaster, david akinsanya. tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph features a picture from today's memorialfor the victims of the grenfell tower fire, six months after 71 people were killed in the blaze. the times front page also reflects the grenfell tower memorial service at st paul's, as well as reporting the collapse of a rape trial after police failed to reveal evidence. the daily mirror reports that theresa may could be headed for a second parliamentary defeat on brexit, following last night's vote. the i front cover also predicts that brexit defeat could be looming for the prime minister. disney's deal

for rupert murdoch's 21st century fox assets is the lead story on the financial times. the deal between disney and 21st century fox also leads the guardian's front page, as well as coverage of the grief of the families affected by the grenfell tower tragedy. and the metro reports that homelessness is up 65% in seven years, according to government figures. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. a lot of the front pages feature pictures from that moving service at st paul's cathedral six months after the grenfell disaster. also there is the grenfell disaster. also there is the grief people are going through, you can see that clearly. the tears. which is to be expected. the problem is, i think, which is to be expected. the problem is, ithink, this which is to be expected. the problem is, i think, this is going to go on for such a long time. when we have inquiries, events like this that happen in this country, i think

people who live those events often find it is dragged out, it's long, it really laborious process. ijust hope... they talk about it being over a year before we start getting any of the evidence together. i think it's not good enough and i think... i covered the hillsborough disaster, look how long it took to sort that out and for the truth to come out after we found the lose of of people were lying. the community need answers quickly. some of these families will be in hotels over christmas, some in temporary accommodation. this really isn't good enough. this is what i'm thinking about today. it's a race so many different question for society. absolutely, you used the word disaster. i'm pleased to see the guardian used the word catastrophe because it was on such a scale that it's difficult, really, to report it without falling into cliche. the

pictures on the front pages today are very. . . pictures on the front pages today are very... at a very human level, concentrating on people's grief. we should remember in the timeline of suffering, something as horrendous as this, six months is really very little. i take your point, absolutely, about people wanting a nswe rs. absolutely, about people wanting answers. but inevitably if those a nswe rs a re answers. but inevitably if those answers are going to be thoroughly researched and the process is going to be done properly, it may take some time. let's look at the times front page. they also have a picture reflecting the grenfell service. 0ne of the interesting stories on the front page is an brexit. after that commons defeat, theresa may is now expected to back away from plans to write the brexit date into law to avoid a second defeat in the commons next week, which would clearly be

very damaging for her government, to have another commons defeat. yet, but from somebody looking from the outside it looks like ms. i don't understand why, for instance, tory mps should be... we've heard about asking for them to be sacked. i think it's ridiculous. how do you sack an mp anyway, you said that earlier. i don't know, ijust think it's a terrible mess.
