there top conference. an easy path to the final. ulster still have work to the final. ulster still have work to do to seal a playoffs spot himself, but they eat the ospreys 8-0 himself, but they eat the ospreys 8—0 in the other night. matte. gold coast where that arena johnson and tom daly triumphed in anniversary. both overcame injuries to secure commonwealth games gold, which ended a long wait for a global title. catarina johnson thompson has long been touted as the heir tojessica and it still‘s found. coming into the 800 metres, the final event, she had a healthy lead and gold dinner sites. england team—mates want to claim bronze. finishing fourth was enough to secure a championship for her. it should have been a moment for tea rs of her. it should have been a moment for tears of joy. but her. it should have been a moment for tears ofjoy. but it wasn't pain etched all over her face. a little injury. going into day two. so i was talking about managing my getafe

one. a little bit worse, 300 metres into the race, but i am so happy i finished. so i made it. no way i was stopping after all that. so devastate to go out four years ago in glasgow and i really wanted this one on my belt and i think it is going to give me a lot of confidence going to give me a lot of confidence going forward. tom daily is another one who had to overcome pain. it has been a summertime fling —— somersaulting few days. the enlistment feared a hip injury might stop him competing. but alongside dan goodfellow, he dived his way to gold at a third consecutive games. he used the moment to highlight concerns over gay rights within parts of the commonwealth. concerns over gay rights within parts of the commonwealthlj concerns over gay rights within parts of the commonwealth. i feel a jimmy lucky to be able to compete openly and truly glad am and not worry about ramifications, but for a of athletes and people living in those countries it is not the case. and we have to talk about these things and some light on them in order to get change. by birmingham in the next commonwealth games i

really hope that we see a decrease in that number of countries that can analyse lg bt issues. in that number of countries that can analyse lgbt issues. other home teams were also making waves. race reid became the first scottish woman to wina reid became the first scottish woman to win a commonwealth diving medal, taking gold in the one metre springboard —— grace agreed. our compactor yet was also rewriting the record books. he led a four—man team to victory over australia. the fifth gold medal of his career, making him the most successful scott indians history. highest medal... a silver in the hoop. northern ireland claimed theirfirst in the hoop. northern ireland claimed their first silver in australia, thanks to the trap. the pa rents, australia, thanks to the trap. the parents, bbc news. —— nick parrott. tomorrow is the grand national. a0 hoses will go out to win the famous steeplechase. this year three of them will be rid of my female jockeys. that's the most

in the national for three decades. our sports correspondent andy swiss reports. the enthusiasm was not dampened. if todayis the enthusiasm was not dampened. if today is about trendsetting, tomorrow is about troubling thing. imagine features three female jockeys. —— the match. fatherjimmy won back in 1989. she says the chance to become the first woman to win the race on her horse is an extra incentive. you cannot stand here and go oh, you'rejust extra incentive. you cannot stand here and go oh, you're just ended to try and get around because i would be lying you and i don't lie. so we are going in all guns blazing. and i have to go any more because i am a girl because i want to break mould and try and be the best i can be and succeed for my horses and my team behind me. for female jockeys, just competing over these fences used to bea competing over these fences used to be a barrier in itself. women were

not allowed to write in the national until the 19705. but hopes of what would be a historic victory have never been higher. katie walsh has come the closest so far, finishing third on seabass in 2012. now she rides one of the favourites, baie des iles, and she told me that on her sport's biggest stage, gender doesn't matter. when i finished third in the national, i didn't pull up and say it was great because i was female. ijust thought it was great to be third in a national. i don't look at it as a male—female thing. so ijust can't wait. i'm really looking forward to it. i hope i do win it, not because i'm female, because i'd like to win it. but the female factor is driving the betting — bookies left facing a massive pay—out if history is made. there is an awful lot of excitement around a female jockey when you are in the grand national. but bookmakers are interested in the odds, just the numbers. the odds suggest that it is a single figure price, it is shorter than ten—to—one that we have a lady jockey winning the grand national.

to put that into context, this is the best chance we have ever had. and it would be some story. a1 years ago, charlotte brew became the first woman to ride in the national. aintree‘s fences have seen some famous victories since then, but tomorrow's winning post could be a sporting milestone. andy swiss, bbc news, aintree. much to look forward to on grand national day of course. that's all from sportsday. from everyone here at the bbc sportscenter, good night. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are helen brand, chief executive of the association of chartered certified accountants and jason beattie, head of politics at the daily mirror. welcome to both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the i which leads with the un secretary general‘s warning of a new cold war between the east and west. the times's top story is it's own investigation which claims some academics working in british universities are supportive of the assad regime in syria and are actively promoting russian propaganda. the telegraph's main story is the news russia has been hacking the email account of yulia skripal for at least 5 years. the sun claims the prime minister is poised to launch attacks at the syrian leader they call ‘the gasman‘. while the daily mail says relations between russia and the uk are at boiling point as theresa may links the poisonings in salisbury to the chemical attack in syria. the financial times reports a thousand jobs are to go

at jaguar land rover plants in the midlands. the daily mirror says the pensioner who fatally stabbed a burglar at his house is now living in fear of revenge attacks and is planning to sell his home. and the express features today's the express features a quote from cliff richard on the second day of the trial in to claims the bbc breached his privacy, saying he thought he was going to have a heart attack. we have seen the rhetoric escalating. we will go on to talk about other reports, the government coming up with new information about what is going on. i think the call for calm has to be the right one. in

some ways, better a cold war than a hot war! the cold war did not end in confrontation. that is what we hope in this situation as well. it is going to take careful navigation. what do you make of it? the warning from the un secretary general that we are going back to effectively the pre—1990's? we are going back to effectively the pre-1990's? well, it is not entirely the same. the phrase is useful because it describes the stand—off between the west and russia. but, you know, this is a very different russia. it is not the soviet empire that it was. and it is a diminished country, in many respects. it happens to make a very loud noise because it still has quite a big military, but economic data is quite pooh military, but economic data is quite poor. and we are talking about one of the few areas left of international influence, syria, the

strategic and long—standing diplomatic reasons it has backed assad. this is where you get the slightly dangerous conflagration of what happened in salisbury, the chemical attacks in douma, and leading to this ratcheting up of rhetoric. phoning into that, you have the ability ability of the united states president, using his old tricks of waging war through twitter without much clarity on the consequences and a big dilemma for oui’ consequences and a big dilemma for our prime ministerand consequences and a big dilemma for our prime minister and what she does next. she is featured on the front of the daily mail. let me stay with you on this because on one side of the front page is her and vladimir putin on the other and the simple headline of oiling point. i am slightly uncomfortable of the way they are trying to almost dig up the prime minister by personalising it and

saying this is our kind of iron lady mark to, standing up to vladimir putin. i will suggest she is being tracked into this by the language and the messaging from the white house. as i said, she now faces this question of does she stand with america and france and what sort of duty does she have because of the loyalty showed on the skripal case. she has yet to speak to the country and explain if we are going to be involved in military action, what sort of military action and whatever possible consequences. at the moment we have a lot of friends and we have this bubbling up of energy surrounding the idea of some military intervention but zero clarity about what form it would ta ke clarity about what form it would take them what will be the consequences “— take them what will be the consequences “ we have a take them what will be the consequences —— we have a lot of frets. we will come onto what she may do and parliamentary times in a moment which is the front page. the

way it has been turned into this personal battle. if you like between these two individuals. personal battle. if you like between these two individualslj personal battle. if you like between these two individuals. i don't think thatis these two individuals. i don't think that is the case. we have not actually seen them together, ever really. i think the point that is being made is that the government is saying that it was not a pattern of the use of chemical weapons and the nerve agent and so that is the linking to salisbury and syria, and thatis linking to salisbury and syria, and that is extremely dangerous as we all know. the conventions have that is extremely dangerous as we all knowféfiae cor decades. and l that is extremely dangerous as we all knowféfiae cor decades. and that in place for many decades. and that is the point that the government is 110w is the point that the government is now trying to make and i think that is where the concentration is hotting up. i suppose it takes us to the telegraph. you both hinted at this already. helling, this is where we get onto what theresa may may do 01’ we get onto what theresa may may do orsay we get onto what theresa may may do or say to parliament, when she says, what she is going to say to parliament. there are always uncertainties. yes, and this has been a matter of debate for a number

of days now. so parliament be recalled, should the government be going into parliament, and it seems from the report here in the telegraph that the plan is to debate theissue telegraph that the plan is to debate the issue of parliament on monday. and to take the evidence that they can, i guess that is always the challenge, what can be said publicly and what can be a nd fihét ca n. bite: eleni??- parliament a 5d fihét ca 5. beta 5555553- parliament to have a 5d fihét ca 5. beta 5.555??- parliament to have that debate. at some of her own party have been calling them back bolan quite strongly for this debate in parliament before action is taken —— some of our own party have been pulling quite strongly. pressure from the usa and maybe from france that it does not seem like at the moment something is able to happen immediately, which does give the time. is that your idea as well? this is very difficult. the problems he faces is that it may require an executive decision if we are following the united states in course of action. she cannot get the

parliamentary approval she needs immediately to do that. then you get the problem of a retribution which could come from parliament if it feels it is being left out of such a crucial decision. it is quite important that this is not just crucial decision. it is quite important that this is notjust on the labour side, where there are serious doubts about air strikes if thatis serious doubts about air strikes if that is what it is. there is a sizeable number, at least a dozen conservative mps and some of them former military who have also expressed concerns. i think what we are going to get on monday if maybe the case for war, but not actually saying you, the mps, get to authorise it. i'm reading further down here the and government is adamant that military intervention isa adamant that military intervention is a decision for ministers under the powers of the world parameters. this is where we get the history of, actually that was the case up until the iraq war of 2003 when tony blair broke with the convention and said i will see parliament approval for

this, that then set the precedent which happened with every camera when he saw parliament approval for the libya bombings and again he thought parliamentary approval for intervention in syria and lost, david cameron. it is a difficult one. other countries have a slightly different system. the united states is still an executive power which lies with the president. you have to get some approval from congress for military action. that may be the path we will go down. there are other pressures at the moment but this is the situation for seven yea rs. this is the situation for seven years. precisely. this is the 34th chemical weapons attack. so there needs to be a very considerate response because there has to be what happens next. yes, and in some instances... and we have not, it has not been clear what that plan is and what that strategy is. i think that is the context within which this debate needs to happen. jason, staying with the telegraph. and staying with the telegraph. and staying with the telegraph. and staying with certainly
