in some cities, the authorities have had enough. the extraordinary thing is that many of these bikes are brand—new, hardly used at all. forget stock—market bubbles and property bubbles, forget the dotcom bubble. this is one with wheels on. this is china's bike—sharing bubble. photos of other bike mountains have been propping up online. here is one in the city of xiamen, and this is shanghai. yes, those really are bikes down there. but the reality is, china faces a far bigger transport challenge — traffic congestion, chronic pollution and a growing health crisis. and it's notjust bikes that block pavements. the bike companies now plan to use the huge amounts of data they collect to monitor rider behaviour and penalise bad parking, and they insist chinese cities still need them. there needs to be a framework

to regulate the growth of the industry, but from a general point of view, taking a step back, cities want this kind of commuting method, because it reduces pollution, reduces congestion, it puts people back on their bicycles. but it's also our responsibility as the leader in the industry to provide this with a thoughtful and responsible approach. as the chinese bike—sharing schemes arrive in more british cities, lessons, they say, will have been learned. newsnight is coming up on bbc two. here on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello and welcome to sportsday.

i'm sarah mulkerrins. frustrated at the london stadium — but the goalless draw is still but that is kyle edmund who is not frustrated, he is through to the finals of the madrid open. everton‘s wayne rooney agrees a deal in principle tojoin dc united in the mls welcome along to sportsday. manchester united have sealed the runners—up spot in the premier league, but not in the most spectacular of manners.

they were held to goalless draw by west ham at the london stadium. hammers keeper adrian pulling off some great saves to keep out jose mourinho‘s side. the result leaves united four points clear of third—placed tottenham with one game left. patrick gearey watched the action. end of term thursday at the london stadium and thoughts perhaps drifting to summer and beyond. west ham began in a reclined position. manchester united would have gone ahead if it were not the adrian in goal. some of his actions were so fast you had to slow the picture to see them. the two teams divided by 39 point but not by a goal. largely thanks to adrian. west ham only granted safety at the weekend. this fixture has a fiery history and produced one small storm in the

stalemate. no red cards. at the final whistle embraces were more tender. paul pogba and mark noble included. manchester united second, west ham say. enough about. —— for now. i think we are the second—best team in the premier league. a fantastic competition with lots of good teams. i believe six teams trying to finish first and almost compulsory to finish top four. and we managed to finish second. a good point for us and maybe man united would say the same. adrian had to make good saves. our boys showed a great attitude. after being safe in midweek, we were never quite sure but they were at it and great credit to the players. we have done

the job we came to do, to make sure we would not be relegated. i think the players have improved and the team has improved. swansea city manager carlos ca rvalhal will leave at the end of the season. they're almost certain to be relegated from the premier league on sunday, after losing to southampton on tuesday. carvalhal is out of contract at the end of the season — he'd been in talks to stay on — but it's understood the swansea board decided not to take up that option, after a run of eight games without a win. ian holloway has left championship side queen's park rangers after 18 months in charge. he was in his second spell at loftus road and guided the club to 16th in the table this season. former england manager steve mcclaren, who spent time as a coach at the club in 2013, is one of the names linked with thejob. wayne rooney has agreed a deal in principle that could see him leave everton for mls side dc united this summer. rooney re—joined everton last year — after 13 years at manchester united. he retired from international

football last year, as england's leading goal—scorer. the bbc understands nothing has been signed yet but rooney's representatives have been in the usa to negotiate terms — the deal is said to be worth £12.5 million. returning to tonight's football action now and shrewsbury town have the upper hand after the first leg of their league one semifinal play—off. there was just one goal in it at the valley, but what a strike when it eventually came in the 80th minute. jon nolan giving the visitors an advantage to take back to shropshire for the second leg on sunday. he beat novak djokovic yesterday — today kyle edmund followed that with a straight—sets win over world number 10 david goffin at the madrid open.

he's guaranteed a place in the world's top 20 after his recent run on clay — and broke twice in the first set to win 6—3. edmund's domination continued in the second — taking that 6—3 as well. and he's into his first masters quarterfinal. he'll play denis shapovalov in the last eight. iam in iamina i am in a good place and it was good to beat novak and it gives you confidence but winning big matches, it is nice to back it up. it is good you can play consistently well at big tournaments. staying with tennis and world number one rafael nadal has won his 50th set in a row on clay as he beat argentine diego schwartzman 6—3 6—4 in the spanish capital. that broke john mcenroe‘s 34—year—old record for successive set wins on the same surface. danny cipriani is back in the england rugby union squad

after three years out. he's part of a 34—man party for next month's tour to south africa. cipriani's last international appearance was in 2015 and he's made headlines in the past for issues in his private life. but he's been outstanding for wasps this season and head coach eddiejones said he deserved an opportunity. it's the first time jones has picked him. i feel like he has ifeel like he has made progress, that he has the right attitude and with 20 players missing it is a great opportunity to test what he can add to the team. if he ends up on the front page of the paper, it can only be that he is holding a trophy that says 3—0 at the bottom. if it is any other reason again there is a plain straight back to england. the england and wales cricket board is launching a strategy to engage what it believes is the untapped

potential of british asians in the game. a lack of effective talent spotting and access to equipment are seen as problems that need to be overcome. our sport correspondent joe wilson is in east london. cricket is part of the heritage in this area of east london, there is a grade ii listed cricket pavilion behind me. the issue is how it affects the modern situation. this area is ethnically diverse and a lot of people would and see being part of a south asian community. we have girls from those communities playing in this session today, which has been arranged to coincide with the launch of this scheme. the issue that the ecb has is quite simple. when it looks at participation numbers, it sees huge numbers, reflecting these kind of communities. but what happens to that enthusiasm? whether players or supporters, it doesn't really translate through to the england team or the professional team in this country.

how to address that? one barrier that the ecb sees is facilities, so over the next few years, we are going to see 100 turf pitches in urban areas, but 1000 pitches which are nontraditional, non—grass, being put into these kind of urban areas. we will see mentoring projects and talent identification, and another crucial area is coaching. from now on, whenever a coaching position is made available at england level and then county cricket level, there will be a rooney rule where somebody of a bame background will have to be interviewed. and will it work? the point is for english cricket that it has to work, because the sporting environment is so competitive that england cannot afford to miss out anybody who has a degree of interest or engagement in that game right through england and wales. we're nearly out of time but before we go lets round up some of the day's other sports stories now and britain's simon yates is the new leader of the giro d'italia after stage six. he took the pinkjersey

from australian rohan dennis after making his move a mile from the finish on mount etna. he could have won the stage, but allowed his team mate esteban chaves to take victory. yates now leads the race by 16 seconds from defending champion tom dumoulin. chris froome is eighth overall, more than a minute off the lead. golf's so—called fifth major, the players‘ championship, is under way at tpc sawgrass in florida, and the world number one dustinjohnson is among those leading on six—under par. sergio garcia is up there too and england'sjustin rose isjust two behind — on a—under. and hull fc progressed into the quarterfinals of the challenge cup with a 38—20 victory over championship side featherstone rovers. bureta faraimo scored a couple of tries to see the holders over the line. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are michael heaver, co—owner of the website westmonster, and jessica elgot, who's a political correspondent at the guardian. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times focuses on the news that telecoms giant bt is to cut 13,000 jobs in a drive to free up cash for new technologies.

jessica the guardian and the front page story we have run as our lead story about the government apologising about the treatment of the couple abdel hakim belhaj and fatima boudchar. a significant moment, a six—year campaign for this couple and fatima boudchar was four and a half months pregnant when the couple were ta ken and a half months pregnant when the couple were taken back to libya where her husband was an opponent of colonel gaddafi. he led an islamist group there. it came to light shortly after the gaddafi regime fell that mi6 had been involved in providing intelligence that led the cia to abduct the couple. that was at the time whenjack straw cia to abduct the couple. that was at the time when jack straw the then

foreign secretary was confronted with the idea it might be the case and he called it a conspiracy theory. today theresa may has written to fatima boudchar. the wife of abdel hakim belhaj, she has a half million pounds settlement. she apologise. he said he had only wa nted apologise. he said he had only wanted an apology. and he said compensation could be limited to £1 as far as he was concerned. there is more to come out? we will have to see what happens with this deal. it shows you how quickly foreign policy can change. at the time britain was an ally of gaddafi and has a role of handing them over. it is one of those stories that shows you how quickly foreign policy can change. more questions about what was involved about how many others this might have happened to.
