is tommy fleetwood. the 27—year—old from southport secured a second place finish at the us open earlier this year. he goes into this tournament off the back of a rapid rise up the world rankings, he's now inside the world's top 10. expectations are wrapped, but i don't feel any different about being up don't feel any different about being up there in the world rankings. it is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. generally, it doesn't matters. generally, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. have england left us anything from the 2018 world cup? hopes, fears. that's all from sportsday. donald trump and vladimir putin have

both hailed their helsinki meeting as a success. president putin acknowledged that he had wanted donald trump to win, but denied that he had interfered. resident trump pointedly refused to back repeated allegations by us intelligence that mr putin did interfere. i think that it is a disaster for a country. there interfere. i think that it is a disasterfor a country. there was no collusion. everybody knows that. people are being brought out to the fore. so far, that i know, virtually

none of it related to the campaign. you have to try really hard to find somebody that did relate to the campaign. it was a clean campaign. i beat hillary clinton easily and frankly, we won that race. it is a shame that there can be even a little bit of a cloud over it. the talks come days after after the justice department announced the indictments of a dozen russian intelligence operatives for allegedly hacking democratic targets in the 2016 us presidential election. when asked whether he would extradite the russians putin instead detailed a plan, which trump called an incredible offer. we can offer that the appropriate commission headed by special

attorney mueller. so that we would interrogate these individuals who he believes are repeated some crimes. our law enforcement are perfectly able to do this questioning. moreover, we can meet you halfway. we can make another step. we can permit official representatives of the united states, including the members of this very commission headed by mueller. we can let them into the country and they can be present for this questioning. there is another condition to this. however should be a neutral one. then we would expect that the americans would reciprocate and that they would question officials including the officers of loren

forsman and intelligence services of the united states whom we believe oui’... the united states whom we believe our... who have something to do with illegal actions on the territory of russia. president trump said that diplomacy was the way forward for the united states and russia to work together. ido i do feel that we have both made some mistakes. ithink i do feel that we have both made some mistakes. i think that the probe is a disaster for our country. i think it has kept us apart. it has ke pt i think it has kept us apart. it has kept separated. there was no collusion. everybody knows that. so far that i know, virtually none of it related to the campaign and they will have to try really hard to find somebody who related to the campaign. i beat hillary clinton easily and frankly, we beta and i am not even sing from the standpoint, we won that race. it is a shame that

there could even be a little bit of a cloud over it. people know that and understand that. the main thing that we discussed is the rock collusion editors had a negative impact on the relationship between the two largest nuclear powers in the two largest nuclear powers in the world. since the two countries possess 90% of the world's most lethal armaments, it's no surprise the issue of nuclear weapons. translation: as the largest nuclear powers, we are responsible for international security. we believe it is important to start the dialogue for strategic stability, and of non—proliferation of arms. and we have passed a number of specific proposals to president trump on this matter. we believe it is necessary to continue ourjoint work on all areas of

the military cooperation. handling the situation in relation to the ballistic protection programme. and also placing armaments in space. more run at summit throughout the evening. good evening. today has been a day of contrast. for many, it has been another hot and humid day. a cold front is bringing some sherry outbreaks of rain, but more importantly it is bringing something

fresher. that said, it does look like that fresher feeling will remain, but not the rain. highest values that we have seen so far, 30 degrees. underneath that front, thicker cloud and some outbreaks of showery rain as you can see by this pretty impressive picture across west wales. the rain has been sitting through down into wales and some of its heavy and sundry. they are very hit and miss these showers. the heaviest showers look like likely across northern england and maybe towards the scottish borders as well. that is worth bearing in mind if you are going to be out on the roads during the early part of the roads during the early part of the evening. as we go through the overnight period, it looks as if that front will continue to weaken. something that had a little more

noticeable is that fresher feel, a bit more comfortable for sleeping. temperatures around 11 — 14. still a little on the humid side into the south east corner. there will be a noticeable difference to the feel of the weather as we go through to tuesday. if you shop showers across maybe north—east england. it will be a little more comfortable for getting outdoorjob stolen. i suspect 16—19 in the north. 25 in the south—east corner. it does look likely in the south in particular that we could see things warming up. whether friends threatened the far north—west generally as we go through the latter stages of the working week. temperatures returning

in the south back to the high 20s, i am afraid. you're watching beyond 100 days. the american president says he has no reason to believe russia meddled in the us election. mr trump says he asked mr putin about it, and he takes the russian leader's denial at face value. all i can do is ask the question. president putin, hejust said, it's not russia. i will say this, i don't see any reason why it would be. the us president met vladimir putin one—on—one, with no staff, for over two hours — we may never know exactly what was said. mr putin is asked if he has compromising material on donald trump, and denies it. well, sort of. also on the programme: theresa may caves in to pressure over her brexit bill and helps neutralise a potential rebellion — for now, at least.
