here we go, and the attacks begin. with three back—to—back lines and a brutal summit finish, champion chris froome knew a good day in the pyrenees could set up his fifth tour win. but he'd have to overhaul race leader thomas, his friend and team—mate. time to talk tactics. shake of the head, an agreement about how to play it. the monstrous final climb up the col du portet, though, was about to claim its highest profile victim. they now know that chris froome is possibly on the ropes. with froome floundering and with minutes left, rival thomas dumoulin made his move. dumoulin, now that's the big move on the right hand side of the road. as froome's grand tour dream appeared to blow up, welshman thomas' edged ever closer. team sky's eggs are now all in his basket. barring disaster, the procession into paris on sunday should end in his coronation. natalie pirks, bbc news. newsnight is coming up on bbc two.

just four days to go in the tour de france and team sky's geraint thomas has extended his lead to almost two minutes. the defending champion, chris froome, lost time on a short but testing 17th stage won by nairo quintana, as drew savage reports. time running out for anybody wanting to ta ke time running out for anybody wanting to take the yellow jersey. state 17 the shortest of the tour but one of the shortest of the tour but one of the hardest. vrabel to clients in the hardest. vrabel to clients in the pyrenees. —— three hard times in the pyrenees. —— three hard times in the pyrenees. colombia's nairo quintana rescued what's been a poor race by his standards, riding clear to take the stage win. that'd move him up to fifth overall but the fight for first was on the road behind him. thomas, defending champion chris froome, and third—placed tom dumoulin desperate to make something happen. the dutchman made his move, looked over his shoulder, and saw a rare sight.
10:33 pm
the man who's won the tour de france four times, the vuelta a espana and the giro d'italia, left behind. chris froome would lose nearly a minute. but as he slipped from second place, his team—mate tightened his grip on first. once again, the welshman riding away from his rivals. his advantage over dumoulin extended to one minute and 59 seconds. thatjersey isn't his to keep yet. but more than ever before, it looks like it's his to lose. let's look at the overall classification. not what many would have expected. geraint thomas is on course to win the tour de france, he's pulled away from sky teammate chris froome. beginning to look a little weary. and a shock for england's women at the hockey world cup this evening as they were held to a 1—1 draw against the united states. on her 200th cap it was alex danson who put the hosts into the lead through this fantasic solo effort. getting the shot off in a great
10:34 pm
goal! but the lead only lasted five minutes, as erin matson left england keeper maddie hinch with no chance with this reverse stick equaliser. danny kerry's side now face an uphill battle to progress from the group, with only the top side guaranteed a place in the quarterfinals. england's final group game is against ireland on sunday. is worth noting ireland beat the united states themselves 3—1. all to do for england. celtic came from a goal down to beat rosenborg 3—1 in the first leg of the second round of champions league qualifying. rosenborg had the scottish champions worried when birger meling scored but it shocked celtic into life and odsonne edouard, celtic‘s french striker, got the equlaiser before getting another. 3—1 it ended, still an important away goal for the norwegian side.
10:35 pm
the second leg is next week. football clubs in england have two weeks to get all their summer shopping done. the transfer window's closing earlier this year, and liverpool managerjurgen klopp has done his spending early. he's forked out a world record fee for a goalkeeper in signing allison from roma, just one of the four players he's brought in. so does more spending mean more pressure? we have improved our position for us, what it means for the league, we will see. but you are right. there will be pressure coming from outside. probably increasing from everywhere. i don't care about that. we want to play the best football we can play and we want to make all fans happy. that is it. a lot of people say i don't care. now, the world cup may be over for another four years and the debate about what was the best goal of russia 2018 is over too. france right—back benjamin pavard has won the 2018 world cup goal
10:36 pm
of the tournament award for his stunning strike against argentina. he adds the honour to winning the trophy with his country of course. rugby union is often rough and sometimes dangerous. hard crucncing tackles take there toll. a recent study showed a rise in injuries and concussion in the game. no surprise then perhaps that the rugby football union have announced that the tackle height will be lowered next season in a significant trial in england designed to make the game safer. let's show you how things are going to change specifically. this is the current level of a legal tackle — anything below the top of the shoulders is currently deemed safe. the new safe level is going to be the underside of the armpit — not hugely lower, but significant in terms of protecting the ball carrier in the collision. it is an initiative. nobody wants to
10:37 pm
hurt anybody and nobody wants to get injured will be played. anything we can do to reduce post injury statistics and also change the game it may change the game in a way that it is played. we don't know until we try. there's an important series on the horizon for england's cricketers. the first of five test matches against india begins in a week at edgbaston so the question at this point is about personnel, with trevor bayliss and england's selectors naming their squad tomorrow. to help talk me through it is our reporter partrick gearey. will there be any shock inclusions, one name may raise eyebrows? i don't know if you could remember the last test match all the way before the world cup. they wanted against pakistan. i don't think we will see a lot of changes to what is a winning side, when ever it was my see a change that they spend ball department. rashid, dybala bottle who gave up playing for an five—day cricket to concentrate on limited overs for,
10:38 pm
proven so concentrate on limited overs for, proven so good in limited overs that they might bring them back into five—day cricket. that will set a precedent and include my stay with don bairstow and jack leach. spin bowling will be key in this series because we have seen so little rain pages will be really dusty and dusty pitches mean did spend conditions and india are really strong in that department. a five test series, squeezed into six months at the end of the summer. this is not important for the two teams, it is important for the two teams, it is important for test cricket perhaps? in a busy summer for test cricket perhaps? in a busy summer of sports with the world cup and wimbledon and the open, yes, it isa and wimbledon and the open, yes, it is a really key series. the best testing in the best testing and officially according to the rantings but they have this block when they come to england and play in swinging conditions they have lost 3—1 and fort melville last two series. they have to score to settle in england the cells at a pretty miserable year and test cricket. they lost to australia and the ashes. they have a
10:39 pm
lot of questions that need to answer under the leadership. the weather should be good we are expecting full houses with really nor the support from the indian community here in the uk and i think starting this week especially at edgbaston and also have five test matches. we hardly ever see this outside in ashes series. a good to be like a box that would demote you get them on the drama has to be. it has to with. that could be the case. —— at that were the more drama. the sound enthusiastic. will india enjoy?” think so. i think the captain is somebody who wants to come here and if he gets big brands and a good average in the series, he can really be counted as among the greats. he is one of the great timers of the ball. the reason he shouldn't be able to perform in these conditions. there will be supported. especially at that opening test. edgbaston big in the india community. i covered again deborah for, incredible
10:40 pm
atmosphere. —— i covered a game there. the fans make it colourful and will do that next week. and england fans will want to see their side pick—up for what has been a disappointing gear. it is always a noisy thing is so pretty rockets. the 0paljo would under more pressure. he will see the other way. —— that should putjoe would under more pressure. england need something like that. they've had a disappointing gear. a boisterous crowd behind you, i think there might be what england need to get visitors to a good start. thank you very much. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. 0ur our top story, gary thomas extending his lead at the tour de france. leading by two minutes. the finale coming up in paris on sunday. can he do it. all from today. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:41 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, the political correspondent for the spectator and the guardian columnist, dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. lets start with the ft, with stories of the pakistan election and also the paper says us president donald trump's trade war is causing car manufacturer's shares to plummet after warnings of higher metal costs. the express claims the nhs is "denying" hundreds of thousands of diabetics the same life—saving blood sugar monitoring patch used by theresa may. britain is at the mercy of deadly heatwaves
10:42 pm
according to a report in the telegraph, which says mps are warning that homes, schools and transport systems are ill—prepared for weather like we've seen over the past week. the metro leads with theresa may urging the public to remain calm about the prospect of a no—deal brexit, following alarm over plans for stockpiling of food and medicines. the guardian is leading with new figures on police custody deaths — it says they are at their highest level in ten years. and the is headline is "waterfound on mars" — after scientists say there's evidence of liquid water in a lake under the planet's south polar ice cap. so, not surprisingly the weather features. i think actually it is
10:43 pm
a cce pta ble features. i think actually it is acceptable to complain about it being too hot. for a while i thought we must not enter summer. now is just getting out of hand. with perhaps warnings of the highest recorded temperature ever tomorrow. this report from these mps talking about the fact that many people and homes and schools are not ready for this. yes. i've been complaining for weeks now. laughter i hate the sun. this is the news. the mps would forsa ke this is the news. the mps would forsake anything that is that shocking the idea that britain is not prepared for heatwave. we have not prepared for heatwave. we have not had it. if this will become much more common, and they say that by 2040 we would get heat waves once every two years. we will have to look at how we are doing things. that will go through everything towards covering the roads, and to the advice we are getting on what to wear to school and work. the latter seems easier to fix. laughter it is
10:44 pm
an interesting idea that we if we stop leaning into harder time, do we need a new approach. that is the point. if it is once every 20, 30 yea rs, point. if it is once every 20, 30 years, not had to change everything but if he does become more frequent, people talk about how we insulate our homes to keep out the cold. you will may be to do the opposite. with the climate change now, we will have colder winters and warmer summers and flooding will be a lot more comment so we do need to think about how we future proofed everything. it is mentioned here that 457 visits to the nhs website. we need to think about how people do what the help. and they sure the images have enough resources to do with the heat waves. a lot of experts now say actually we may need to due as america didn't have air conditioning in our homes.
10:45 pm
