see trouble. before long, being the competitive types, they had a raise. when i realised we were quicker than them, that was the fun bit. when i realised we were quicker than them, that was the fun biti when i realised we were quicker than them, that was the fun bit. i could not keep up, i could not keep up.” lost it. i thought was a bit more difficult than i thought it was going to be. i think i need to get in the gym a bit more, it is tough. now the masters become the pupils, with annabel and amy to point the boysin with annabel and amy to point the boys in the right direction with mixed results. again, they could not settle for a casual pitch and put, three competitions batting, chipping and a barry with team annabel and alan cumming on top. i will let them stick to the golf and i will stick with the rowing. it is a different type of tournament for golfers to be a part of this war and to get to be

involved with different athletes and get to see that sport is rock and they did is really special. it is my first under an event like it, it will be cool, rubs shoulders with other people from other sports, you watch them on tv and look up to and aspire to. being able to shed the field with them is good to be huge. afunjob field with them is good to be huge. a fun job should dele max swap, that may be worth sticking to the tony finau. -- a may be worth sticking to the tony finau. —— a funjob swap, but may be worth sticking to their own friend now. well, we began sportsday focusing on the tour de france — but we'll finish with a race that takes place at a snail‘s pace. what could it be? this was the scene in norfolk, the annual world snail racing championship. the prestigious annual tournament, which has been running for over half a century, sees snails placed near the middle with the first one to reach the outer circle deemed the winner. you have got to watch it for a while. hot and humid conditions meant the pace was more sluggish this year —

there still had to be a winner though and that honour went to hosta. you have to shell out a lot of money for a prize snail like that. trust me, i have had my feelers out for a while. look at him! the proud owner received a silver tanka rd stuffed with lettuce leaves. i would rather have a beer in mind. well done to the winner. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. probably not snail slow. goodbye. —— rob lee not you are watching bbc news. the head of ukraine's security service has defended a controversial decision to fake the murder of a russianjournalist. two months ago, arkady babchenko, a prominent critic of president putin, pretended to be

dead for nearly 2a hours before stunning journalists by walking into a news conference. our kiev correspondentjonah fisher has been piecing together what happened and talking to the key people involved. two months after he was pronounced dead, arkady babchenko is still fearful for his life. you're wearing your disguise. this was the staged picture of the russian journalist that convinced the world that he'd been killed. 20 hours later, to widespread astonishment, he was unveiled alive and well. it had all been an elaborate sting operation by ukraine's security service. for the fake murder, there was of course a fake killer. the hit man used to be an orthodox priest, but tells me he was approached by an old contact and agreed to kill arkady babchenko for $30,000. while pretending to cooperate,

the hit man was in fact working with ukraine's security service, the spu, and recorded all of their interactions. the spu then decided to fake the murder, to try and expose what it suspected was a russian plot to kill dissidents in kiev. 0n the big night, babchenko lay on the floor smeared in pigs blood. an ambulance was called and babchenko taken to the morgue, where, away from prying eyes, he could at last stop pretending to be dead. translation: i was wrapped up in a sheet like gandhi, smoking and watching the tv news about what a wonderful guy i was. all this time, his wife 0lga was having to keep an impossible secret. translation: i envied him because he did not have to talk to anyone.

a few hours later it was all over, and babchenko made his remarkable comeback. their operation complete, ukraine's security service was quick to label it a success that had saved lives. translation: russia is using illegal methods. russia is trying to kill its opponents on foreign soil to intimidate those that are still in russia. russia denies that, and joined a chorus of international disapproval for the way ukraine had played with the facts. nobody will trust ukrainians and the ukrainian government any more. but did the fake murder achieve anything? the man who plotted with the fake assassin was arrested and we are told his mobile phone revealed a hit list of future targets, and messages exchanged with a contact in russia. but there's so far been no smoking gun. confused?

well, you're not the only one. with the babchenko affair, ukraine has made it that much harder for those looking for the truth. jonah fisher, bbc news, kiev. and panorama's ‘the fake murder that fooled the world' is on bbc one, tonight at 8.30pm. british waste, sent overseas for recycling, could end upjust being buried as landfill. that's the concern of the the national audit office which says the uk is just creating the illusion of success, and must do more to make sure recycling has actually taken place. our environment analyst roger harrabin reports. 11 million tonnes — that's the estimate of packaging waste created by uk homes and businesses last year. the uk has ambitious targets for increasing the amount it sends for recycling, but the national audit office says firms have chosen to export more than half of the material, rather than to deal with it in britain. much of the material for recycling

goes to developing countries less able to handle it than the uk, the report says. it wants the exports much more tightly governed. the problem with recycling material abroad is that the uk just has less visibility of what happens to it. it has less ability to get... the uk authorities aren't able to get the same assurances as they could if it was in the uk. environmentalists want more pressure put on business to ensure that waste is recycled effectively. i think producers need to take a lot more responsibility. they designed this system with government over 20 years ago, and it's creaking at the seams. it's definitely out—of—date. and it means that they haven't been designing packaging with recycling in mind or with reduction in mind, and so we haven't been building the facilities in the uk to handle this, either. so, going forward, producers really need to think about what they're putting in the packaging, they need to be held responsible for it. to people up and down the country who are dutifully rinsing

out their plastic pots for recycling, this sort of thing creates a real erosion of trust. the government says its new waste strategy, due in the autumn, will ensure that things prepared to be recycled really do get recycled. the government can't allow people to get cynical about recycling. without the public, recycling policy is nowhere. roger harrabin, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. the heat is on for many parts of the country again. 33 celsius today, the hottest day of the year so far. but we do have a couple of weather fronts putting in from the north—west, bands of cloud, showery rain left on them. behind the frontal systems, we get a decent

cooler and fresh air. across parts of northern ireland and scotland in particular. down towards the south—east, not the warm and muggy night. we will have this band of cloud tomorrow, perhaps a few showers at times, thinking a little bit south—east into wales. ahead of that, very hot again. a small chance ofan that, very hot again. a small chance of an afternoon shower, temperatures up of an afternoon shower, temperatures up to 30 celsius all above. cooler and fresherfor up to 30 celsius all above. cooler and fresher for parts of scotland and fresher for parts of scotland and northern ireland. as we head into wednesday and thursday, plenty of heat around but it does cool off a little bit as we move towards the weekend with some rain in the northwest. you're watching beyond 100 days.
