know what that hand will do next! keep them there! to put it another way, what makes you so confident, when you look at them and you know what you can do, that you can beat them? no idea. born with confidence i believe. the cheltenham gold cup winning horse denman he was put down due to failing health. he was known as ‘the tank‘ and enjoyed a famous race—rivalry with stablemate kauto star whom he beat to claim the 2008 gold cup. trainer paul nicholls called denman a "superb" and "magic horse". just before we go, with england taking on tunisia in their first world cup match in 12 days' time, a pointer towards world cup rewind on the bbc sport website at noon tomorrow where you can see the entire re—run of the last time the countries met at the world cup. that was in france 20 years ago, when a certain match of the day commentator: well taken and it's in.

doi commentator: well taken and it's in. do i had to tell you the scorer? alan shearer. who else? 20 years ago, it makes you feel old! that's all from sportsday. you're watching bbc news. as our lives increasingly move online, more and more of our information is held in vast data centres which consume large amounts of electricity. now in an experiment designed to work out how to improve energy efficiency, microsoft has sunk a small data centre in the sea, off the coast of 0rkney. our technology correspondent rory cellan—jones explains. ever uploaded a photo, updated your facebook status, or maybe streamed some music? if so, you've probably used a data

centre, where vast amounts of our personal information are now stored. but what if you could put all of that underwater? up in 0rkney, the tech giant microsoft is trying to do just that. this white cylinder is packed with computers. it was assembled in france, and then brought here to be sunk. we're on our way across scapa flow to the deployment site, but i have one nagging question. why sink a data centre? it's easier to cool data centres in water than on land. that means we use a lot less power to cool the data centre than we otherwise would. it is kind of a crazy experiment, but that's why we do research — to try these things and sort of push us to new places. and, if this is successful, maybe we'll have the ability to deploy data centres anywhere in the world very rapidly, perhaps as little as 90 days. this is the exact point where the data centre is going to be sunk and on the ocean floor is a cable bringing power to it, and then taking its data ashore and connecting it to the wider internet.
6:54 pm
a day on, with conditions in this sometimes rough stretch of sea very calm, the painstaking operation to put the data centre on the ocean floor is under way. 0rkney was chosen partly because it is a centre for pioneering renewable energy research, generating electricity from wind and wave power. 0rkney's produced over 120% of its electricity needs from renewables every year since 2012. so this is a place that's basically running on renewables, and so bringing a project like this to orkney makes sense, because it'll be basically being powered by renewables. the data centre is heading ever so slowly to the bottom of the ocean. at the control room on shore, they are getting ready to power it up. now, microsoft will monitor it for up to five years. this could prove to be the future of data storage, or maybe just a tourist attraction for the fish. rory cellan—jones, bbc news, 0rkney. now that virtually everyone

has a mobile phone, what should we do with all those traditional old red phone boxes? well, in the town of kingsbridge in devon, they think they've found a solution. the tiny space has been turned into the world's smallest nightclub, as john henderson explains. take your pound coin, put it in the slot, lift up the handset. # pump up the jam, pump it up. # while your feet are stomping and the jam is pumping #. a funky number. a telephone box remixed for disco dancing complete with glitter ball, flashing lights, even a smoke machine. compact but cool. they're going to come in here, they're going to put a pound in here, they're going to listen to their favourite dance tracks and all the money goes to a local charity called @115 which does activities and events for people with needs within the community here in kingsbridge, so a great charity. it's been a while since people queued to use the k6jubilee kiosk
6:56 pm
that has stood in kingsbridge for 60 years. ok, you can go in. in the last decade, payphone usage has fallen by 90% but bt lets communities adopt a kiosk. this is the 5000th. it is already a smash hit. we've had lots of wonderful ideas, little libraries, mini pubs that you can sell a pint out of or grocery shops etc but this is by far the most unique. it's fantastic. the funkiest? absolutely the funkiest, yes! it's been great fun. every pound spent on a box boogie will help a charity in the town and there is unlikely to be any aggro. if you just turn your head round to the right, you will see above you a big sign with police written on it. and as this phone booth is literally right outside the local police station, i strongly suspect that you would have to be a very determined vandal to have a go at this phone box. and no trouble on the dance floor. no panic on the dance floor, no.
6:57 pm
one would hope not. it might be the world's smallest with a dance floor that's three foot square, but this could be the answer if and when the music calls. john henderson, bbc spotlight, kingsbridge. time for a look at the weather with phil avery. hello once again. it was a pretty decent day for many parts of the british isles and the satellite imagery really tells the tale. yes, it's pretty obvious there was quite a bit of cloud to be had to the eastern side of the pennines but even here in one or two places there was some sunshine getting through eventually. further south, quite a bit of cloud close by to the channel islands, some sharp showers running through the channel area, but elsewhere the skies will stay pretty clear overnight and that will allow the temperatures again to dribble away, in the countryside particularly well down into single figures, something perhaps a little bit barmier for the greater part of western england, wales
6:58 pm
and northern ireland. and that is how you start the new day on thursday. i think thursday marked by a greater chance of seeing some of those hefty showers, maybe the odd rumble of thunderjust coming in from the near continent, getting into some of the southern counties of england. a little bit less perhaps in the way of cloud to the eastern side of the pennines, that is good news there, so the temperatures responding. and the highs of the day, around 22 or 23 degrees. bye bye. you're watching beyond 100 days. for months, theresa may has walked the brexit tightrope, avoiding the big decisions she must make. but how much longer can she stand in the middle? the future plan, the irish border issue, the backstop on customs arrangements — all critical issues now coming to a head. are you bungling brexit, prime minister? it's been a tough day for the prime minister — she is under fire from the opposition and from within her own cabinet for delaying the publication of the government's brexit plans. 0n the thorny issue of the irish border, the bbc has learned
