if‘ai‘it that has a nation that has a problem with obesity and inactivity, so it is more important than ever that we get more important than ever that we get more people involved and recognise and appreciate those who are already doing it. having coached quite a bit yourself, are their coaches working outside of tennis that you particularly admired? the one that springs to mind is tracey neville, england netball, at the commonwealth games, and what i remember about the aftermath of that was she putting a tweet out with a picture of her with their teachers and her club coaches who had got her started when she was a little girl, they had fostered her love of it, created a stimulating environment for her, and she and becoming an incredibly successful coach yourself, but she was recognising the people who got started, and i love that, that was everything i believed in. judy murray speaking to us earlier. and we finish tonight with a piece of cricketing history. 25 years to the day when shane warne produced what has been referred to as the ball of the century. dismissing mike gatting on day two
6:51 pm
of the first test in the 1993 ashes series at old trafford. first ball, he has bowled him, might getting can't believe it, first ball, lethal! beautiful delivery, not a bad want to start with, i can understand michael gatting being disbelieving! i don't think anyone could believe it, we should have known that he would go on to nudge over 700 wickets. that is all from sportsday, plenty more throughout the evening. you are watching bbc news. more now on the inquiry into the grenfell tower disaster. expert reports have identified a catalogue of design failures, which allowed the fire to spread rapidly killing 72 people. our correspondent, tom burridge,
6:52 pm
has been at the inquiry in central london. some of the stuff coming out today, frankly unbelievable. very much so, clive, and it is interesting that on two occasions today, the leading barrister for the inquiry has suggested that in his opinion some of those companies which were involved in the refurbishment of g re nfell tower involved in the refurbishment of grenfell tower have involved in the refurbishment of g re nfell tower have not involved in the refurbishment of grenfell tower have not been as forthcoming with information as the inquiry would have liked so far. saying tonight that he hoped those parties involved will resist the temptation of the merry—go—round of buckpassing, as he butted, asking form or witness statements to be made. one of the companies involved we re made. one of the companies involved were involved in putting the cladding, they won a sub contract of £2.6 million, and their opening statement has already been published. we understand that the other companies will deliver their opening statements to the inquiry later in the week. this company is
6:53 pm
not delivering it to the inquiry, but it has been published, and it doesn't say very much, five short paragraphs, saying that they are devastated, everyone at the company is devastated by what happened, saying that it will go along with the public inquiry, assisted in the months to come. are the focus, then, seemingly on the authorities, those companies that were involved in dealing with the building, less so with the fire brigade?” dealing with the building, less so with the fire brigade? i think the fire brigade will be closely scrutinised, there were flashes of information today about the actions of the fire brigade on that night. we have heard a lot of talk about the state policy, residents being told to stay put in the building. according to one of the expert reports commissioned by the inquiry, that policy was simply ineffective
6:54 pm
30 minutes after the fire broke out, because the stairwell, the only escape route macro, was clogged with smoke. incredibly, the policy remained in place for a further hour and 20 minutes, people still being told to stay in the building when it was engulfed in flames. there will bea was engulfed in flames. there will be a lot of scrutiny of the fire service, and of the materials used in the refurbishment but also the way the building was designed. what we have heard from the experts reports today is that the building materials, in their opinion, were not appropriate, but the way the cladding system was fitted together, the gaps that it had exposed the plastic core of the cladding, the combustible part, because it was exposed, the flames captured on that and spread rapidly through the building. a lot of people with questions to answer, tom burridge, thank you. a teenagerfrom london has been found guilty of plotting a terror attack as part of britain's first all female cell, pledging allegiance to the islamic state group. safaa boular was 16 when she
6:55 pm
was first investigated by the police. her sister and mother have already pleaded guilty to terror offences. let's speak now to drjoana cook, who is an expert on the radicalisation of women at the international centre for the study of radicalisation at kings college. we are billing this as the first all—female cell, is that your understanding? in the uk, correct, but not the first one we have seen. in 2016, there was one in paris, a car bomb plot, and also a pair of women that were implicated in another plot in 2016 as well. it is the first one in the uk that i am aware of, particularly in relation to islamic state, but not the first one more broadly. is it more likely than not that in this particular case it was the mother who was influencing the two younger kids, and not the other way around? is that probably what happened, in your
6:56 pm
opinion? i think de-radicalisation of women is generally viewed... women are generally viewed as being manipulated into participating in these groups, and in some cases this is true. we have to be very cautious with how we generally view these stereotypes, because a lot of the time, in many cases, women are independent agents who wants to participate in and of their own choice. we have to look at this with caution. we know the cliches of white men might be attracted to islamic state, as it was, and the idea of heaven, 70 virgins or whatever, all that kind of stuff. —— we know the cliches of why men. but what about women to be well, if we compare isis to previous terrorist
6:57 pm
organisations, like al-anda, they really restricted the roles of women in the organisation, but if we look at islamic state, for the first time inajihadist group, at islamic state, for the first time in a jihadist group, they called for women to be part of the organisation, called for them to come to syria and iraq to be part of the state building project there. so for the first time, we saw them being offered a membership in the organisation. the roles that they have taken india's panic state have been quite restricted, up until 2017. -- that been quite restricted, up until 2017. —— that they have taken in islamic state. we saw them take part in some plots that were not sanctioned by the group itself, but been out of shifted in 2017, where there was a call for women to participate in acts of violence. so thatis participate in acts of violence. so that is the attraction on earth, as it were, for them to get involved and be more participate are, but very quickly, what do they get in
6:58 pm
the afterlife? i wouldn't look at it in terms of what they get in the afterlife, but more the question why we would view women as perhaps being different than men in these situations. right... we have seen women participating in terrorist groups throughout history, everything from the cammell tigers, the red brigades, the red army faction, women have been violent perpetrators. but those organisations have a different view of women, my point is about islamic state and al-anda, what is the attraction? for the first time, they have been offered an active role in the organisation, and some women have independently chosen to take this further than the group has sanctioned. we could talk about this for ever, good to talk to you, thank you very much. time for a look at the weather with nick miller. even where there have been a sunny spells, there have been showers,
6:59 pm
some of them thundery, fading through this evening, we are left with a mainly dry night, but there could be drizzle from extensive cloud across the uk, but the further west you are, holding on to clear spells. some of us dipping into single figures, especially across eastern scotland, north—east england, 19 since years as tuesday begins. with plenty of cloud, it will brighten up across scotland, the northern england going into the afternoon, across the east midlands, east anglia, south—east england, some sunny east anglia, south—east england, some sunny spells coming through, north wales too, but for the west midlands, south—west england, south wales, staying cloudy, a lot of cloud in northern ireland, mostly dry. low cloud lingering towards the north sea coasts, where it is cooler compared with elsewhere, but pleasa nt compared with elsewhere, but pleasant when the son comes out. —— sun. you're watching

beyond one hundred days. the world's industrialised nations meet in canada this week — but china isn't even in the bloc and america doesn't seem to want to be. in the age of trump, is the g7 still relevant? a populist, protectionist president is challenging decades of western liberal unity. american trade tariffs make it harder for western leaders to work together against global threats. in a phone call, theresa may tells donald trump his decision to apply tariffs to eu imports is unjustified and deeply disappointing. also on the programme... at least 38 people have been killed and hundreds more injured in guatamela after a volcano erupted sending ash and lava into surrounding villages. kayla, k—a—y—l—a. and meet kayla mckeon, the washington lobbyist breaking
