today: in centre. coming up on sport today: in a spin. hamilton crashes and sebastian vettel takes the flag at the british grand prix. sagan is wearing the yellow jersey after the second stage of the tour de france. and the irish open. —— open. he was hoping for a record sixth title at silverstone, but instead lewis hamilton had to make do with second place at the british grand prix. after starting on pole, the current world champion was soon battling from the back. it was sebastian vettel who won, taking his fourth race win of the season, to pull further ahead in the drivers' championship. andy swiss was watching. at a sweltering silverstone, lewis hamilton and 140,000 fans hoping for history. but from pole position, his chances of a record sixth win here were soon sent spinning.

a sluggish start, a collision, and in the blink of an eye hamilton was down to 18th, his race seemingly over. but boldly, brilliantly, he surged through the field and back into contention, before more twists — two crashes interrupting the race, thankfully all drivers unhurt. the resulting shake—up, though, produced some finish, sebastian vettel taking the lead from bottas, before hamilton also went past up to second. but he couldn't quite catch vettel, the german taking the chequered flag ahead of his title run. well, what drama these fans have seen, and what a fight—back from lewis hamilton. but his hopes of a record win here have agonisingly ended in frustration. vettel now leads the championship by eight points on a day with hamilton's champagne moment did not materialise.

andy swiss, bbc news, silverstone. i think it is better to peek at the end than in the middle, but really pleased, especially with a track we have been struggling with in the past. it was nice to see we were strong or weak and unable to fight for a strong or weak and unable to fight fora win, and strong or weak and unable to fight for a win, and obviously we got the lead back in the end, which felt very satisfying. of course it was a tough situation to be in, but ijust ke pt tough situation to be in, but ijust kept my head down. i knew that i had to fight with everything i had. but what i was saying is i could see the fans, every single corner, every lap, cheering, cheering, cheering. it could have taken a rest for a minute, i still would have known they were there. what they didn't. they kept going and going and going, andi they kept going and going and going, and i can't thank them enough for that. that's really what spurred me on to get the result i had today. ultimately i am going to carry that energy this weekend on to the next race. they are only four sides left in the world cup, and i bet they are not

the size you would expect. england and croatia meet in moscow on wednesday. before that, on tuesday, neighbours france and belgium face each other in saint petersburg. translation: there is a big rivalry between france and belgium. it is kind of derby. they have nine players who are playing in the premier league, so they will dump mac so they will be something of a british accent. we do note —— so there will be something of a british accent. this will be a special game for sure. france looking forward to a sixth world cup semi—final, but belgium will be playing in just their second, 32 years after finishing fourth at the 1986 world cup in mexico. roberto martinez‘s side are unbeaten in 22 matches. they know they can make a 25 they will be world champions. —— 23

matches. we can be proud so far, i think, of how we performed in this world cup, reaching the semifinals, isa world cup, reaching the semifinals, is a big achievement. but i think we wa nt to is a big achievement. but i think we want to go further now, and don't give up. and i think we have to believe in our chances to get to the final, and eventually win it. elsewhere, spain are looking for a new head coach after it was confirmed their current coach will not be staying on in the role. he stepped in after his predecessor was sacked on the eve of the world cup, after he agreed to join real madrid. he had been working as a sporting director for the he had been working as a sporting directorfor the spanish he had been working as a sporting director for the spanish football federation. the world champion, peter sagan, won sunday's second stage of the tour de france. after a late crash in the peleton, sagan edged out sonny colbrelli in sprint to the finish. the overnight leader, fernando gaviria, and a host of others came down in a high—speed crash. sagan and around 15 other riders,

managed to avoid it, to set up a frantic finish, giving the slovakian the race leader's yellow jersey. the defending champion, chris froome, who is 84th right now, will hope to make up some ground in tomorrow's team time trial. scotland's russell knox holed two incredible putts on the 18th green as he beat new zealander ryan fox in a play—off to win his second european tour title at the irish open on sunday. it is his first win in two years, with the world number 87 holing a ito—footer to force the extra hole with fox at ballyliffin in county donegal. he then nailed a birdie from a similar distance.

knox began the day six shots off the pace. fox's runner—up finish means he qualified for the open championship at carnoustie. to finish tied second last week in france and to win this great tournament, i feel very lucky, an unbelievable. an even bigger trophy for kevin na. phil mickelson was in trouble with rules officials, as well. kevin na, who has been waiting to win again for almost seven years after doing it in style, started sunday one stroke behind the leaders but birdied six of the first ten holes, and he crews from there, finishing 19 under, winning $1.3 million. what of phil mickelson? he is in the long grass... what is he doing? a bit of gardening? you are not allowed to do that, look at this in slow motion. phil mickelson said

afterwards he wasn't thinking. he improved his lie. he called over the official and owned up. shades of the us open, where of course he hit that moving ball on the green. a double bogey on that whole, finishing way down the field —— hole. golden state warrior durant says the team, who recently signed the all—star cousins, are not satisfied. they wa nt to cousins, are not satisfied. they want to get better. they have just beaten the cleveland cavaliers and they want to make it three titles in a row. eating cleveland cavaliers was special at the nba finals —— beating. i would just like to sign off on your perfect piece of art, on a perfect canvas. we signed off like it was game four, we have created this amazing masterpiece throughout the season at moments. we kept it

offered that. now we can just chill and let it dry for a bit, before we get back to work next season. i think everybody is excited that we got to a different realm of success when it comes to a team. but we are still not satisfied. we want to be even better. adding someone like the markers to our team, who i am excited about working with, i think it is going to be a fine year for us —— demarcus. a new season for us. last year it was just repetitive, over and over again, and we needed to inject some energy. and i think demarcus will provide that for us. india's cricketers beat england in bristol. the home side batted first after india won the toss, jason roy england's top scorer. in reply,

sharma hit an unbeaten century. england take the series 2—1.“ sharma hit an unbeaten century. england take the series 2-1. if you ta ke england take the series 2-1. if you take wickets on this kind of wicket, eventually you. them. my focus was to make sure i bowl a different ball and keep it simple. if i miss my length and york it will go. so i tried to mix it. jason and jos were brilliant upfront and almost gave us the licence to allow ourselves to think about 220, in and around there. but the execution of our shots didn't really match up with getting to that total. we didn't execute them well enough. on a good wicket, sure crowd, we should be

better than that. batted for now, check out the website and i will see you later. goodbye now. —— that it for now. well, it's been another glorious weekend. if you do like your weather hot, dry and sunny, just some subtle changes in the weather, i think, as we head over the next few days. some more cloud, and things will turn a little bit cooler, too. but here was the picture on a sunny afternoon in wiltshire. beautiful blue skies, not a lot of cloud around there. bit of fair weather cloud here and there are through the week, quickly things will turn cooler and cloudier, but things staying largely dry, and temperatures picking up once again into the latter part the week. but we start the new week with high pressure still in charge. a weak cold front will be just heading its way south

across the country, introducing some slightly cooler conditions initially to the north and further south. so, on monday, it won't be quite as warm as it has been across parts of scotland and northern ireland, northern and eastern england, with a bit of a shift in wind direction. more cloud than we've seen here, too. further south, though, we will hold onto the warm and dry weather for much of the country. a bit of drizzle in the far north associated with a bit more cloud. you can see the red colours indicating that warmer weather across southern and western england, into msouth wales too, whereas further north, not as warm. in fact, some places about 5—10 celsius cooler than they have been. 16 in newcastle monday. contrast that with london, still at around 30 degrees or so, but that dry theme sticks across the board. and then, moving through monday evening, then, still a bit more cloud around the north and east, and we'll start to draw in more of a northerly wind, as you can see those wind arrows around the east coast of england. so a noticeable breeze heading through into the early hours of tuesday morning, and temperatures overnight not as hot and muggy as we have seen.

but down towards southern and western parts, still around 16 degrees, so fairly sticky overnight. tuesday, though, quite a breezy feel if you're exposed to the wind coming in off the north sea around the east coast, breezy through the english channel too. but less windy further west, with spells of sunshine, a bit of cloud around too, but staying dry, really, across the board once again. temperatures on the cooler side than what we've seen recently, so typically around about 17—24 degrees or so. and then, as we move through tuesday on into the middle of the week, down into wednesday as well, high pressure stays with us. with that cold front to the south, we're all in that slightly cooler air mass. so i think through the middle of the week, a slightly cooler interlude but temperatures in the low to mid—20s and then towards the end of the week, it looks like those temperatures are going to pick up, turning hot and staying dry into next weekend.

have a great week. this is bbc news. i'm sophie long, live at the cave in northern thailand. word looks like the operation to bring the remaining boys to safety is now resumed. four out — nine more to go. divers get ready to start what they hope will be the last part of the cave rescue. they're racing to complete their mission before the forecast of heavy rain brings more flooding underground. and i'm nkem ifejika in london. also on the programme: here in the uk, the brexit minister david davis sensationally quits the government. and, a british woman who'd been exposed to the nerve agent novichok has died. the prime minister theresa may says she's appalled and shocked.
