lost to anthonyjoshua. britain's dillian whyte was beaten by the superstar back in 2015 and new zealander — joseph parkerfamously lost to him in cardiff earlier this year. well, now the heavyweights are fighting each other in london tomorrow night, they weighed—in this afternoon and joseph has told whyte — prepare for war. a warning there is some flash photography coming up. alex gulrijani reports. the journey to the top of heavyweight boxing isn't always a laugh a minute. especially for dillian whyte and joseph parker. for new zealander parker, he held one version of the head heavyweight title until very recently. anthonyjoshua took that from earlier this year in cardiff, his only defeat. he is back with a new attitude. before i used to come
10:33 pm
here to fight and think... i used to say, hopefully have a good fight, play clean. there's no hopefully here. i'm here to do damage. i'm here to punch with bad intentions. i want to break him down. i don't want to catch him flush. he's going to take a lot of punches. looking to prove a point and come back with a win, something whyte knows all about. whyte, too, only has one blemish on his professional career, and you can guess who inflicted it. three years ago beforejoshua became world champion, he defeated whyte inside seven rounds, a defeat that he used to springboard to launch himself towards his very own world title challenge. it's a very risky fight. it's a dangerous fight. like i say, he's going to come and throw punches. we'll see. it's going to go down. i don't know if first—round, third round, but... we will trade at some point.

and for the victor, what lies in wait? the wbc champion american deontay wilder, remains a valiant opponent. as does you—know—who. alex gulrajani, bbc news. now before they head to glasgow — for the european championships — the country's best triathletes will be in canada for stage six of the world series in edmunton. britain's women have made a promising start to the season with five ranked in the top 16 — more than any other nation — and for non stanford that can only mean good competition. i think at the minute the british women and especially are in a very good place. we are a really good union and consistently top ten athletes now. and it's great that we having just got one or two that is doing that, we've got four or five and we have got women who can't even make the world series start line because we have got too many brits
10:35 pm
already there. that is great for the sport and it means we keep pushing each other on an increasing the standards hopefully. this weekend, we will be lucky to finish top ten. everybody is absolutely capable of that. most of the girls have podium this year already at the world series. i thinkjodie is the exception but she has been coming back from a long—term injury and seems to be getting better and better every race as well. i'm sure she will get her podium ready at the end of the season as well. if not this weekend, another weekend. if we can get five girls in the top ten, thatis can get five girls in the top ten, that is pretty consistent racing and it is definitely not out of our around. you can follow the canadian leg of triathlon‘s world series on the bbc, the women's race is after midnight tonight and there are highlights on bbc two from 12:00 on sunday. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. bye for now. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be bringing us to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. we are joined tonight i rachel, the comment and features editor at city am and the defense editor at city am and the defense editorfor editor at city am and the defense editor for the editor at city am and the defense editorfor the london editor at city am and the defense editor for the london evening standard. two familiar faces. editor for the london evening standard. two familiarfaces. good evening to you. make you forjoining us. evening to you. make you forjoining us. before we hearfrom evening to you. make you forjoining us. before we hear from them the malaise have a look at tomorrow's headlines and brief. a of papers mentioned. the weather, shock horror. 0n mentioned. the weather, shock horror. on their front pages. mentioned. the weather, shock horror. 0n theirfront pages. the guardian describes july's horror. 0n theirfront pages. the guardian describesjuly‘s heat horror. 0n theirfront pages. the guardian describes july's heat wave as the face of crime and change. the summer as the face of crime and change. the summer of chaos is how the mirror cause the end of the heatwave, where some parts of the uk are torrential rain and thunderstorms. that is
10:37 pm
about it. this is the express, very similar. asa about it. this is the express, very similar. as a striking image bearer of the lightning which brought the heatwave to a halt. but leans on a campaign that has been running to support pensioners. this is the front page of the times during this evening's blood moon. rising over the tempo there. we didn't see it in london, i can tell you that. the telegraph also mentions the weather, but another story about smart meters. financial times says the number of people using with her has fallen, as there are fears over the price of shares in social media. a look at the i as well, prince charles insisting he was unaware of the crimes of the church of england bishop who was convicted of being a pedophile. that is featured in quite a lot of the papers. but so does the weather. what manages to sneak onto the front page of the ft? it is donald trump on the economy. yeah. fake news or the truth? the truth, i
10:38 pm
think. been doing well for a while though, hasn't it? yet, the truth but with some caveats. us grave has it for but with some caveats. us grave has itfor .i%, but with some caveats. us grave has it for .i%, and that is really positive. donald trump said he was going to get growth up and he has done so. there was a comment also after his meeting withjean—claude juncker the eu which he has hailed asa juncker the eu which he has hailed as a great victory for free and fair trade. lots of positive economic news coming out of the us. but it fails to mention though i'm a is one the us economy has been doing 0k fails to mention though i'm a is one the us economy has been doing ok for some time. if you read donald trump's twitter feed you would think us growth had been lagging. also it hit 4% under 0bama multiple times, it hit a 5.2% at one time. the economy has been on an upward trend. the second thing to think about his troubled's trade agenda. all of recent months has been about the ta riffs recent months has been about the tariffs and taxes that he is imposing on foreign imports to the us and the potential trade were that that could cause. and i think the worry here is that the us economy is
10:39 pm
doing well and so we won't see the very detrimental effects of those policies for quite some time paul. which will allow him to do more damage in terms of protectionism on the world stage. you are saying something quite interesting before we came on air. you would expect the city to react really positively too big economic news, but it doesn't a lwa ys big economic news, but it doesn't always necessarily. i think it is for that reason. the reason is the us economy is doing well and partly because of the tax cuts that trump brought in at the beginning of the year. 0bviously that is good for businesses, but it much, much more worrying, the global trade war. we're talking billions of pounds worth of terrorists from the eu, us and china was these policies start being thrown around. they're very difficult to be put back in the back. i think what anyone was interested in the global economy is watching that and worry that this will be an excuse for continuation of those very damaging the texan —ism policies. of those very damaging the texan -ism policies. you are not a big fan of twitter, are you? none of these
10:40 pm
are the best figures ever? believe me, they're the best figures. to follow rachel is saying, a real hostage to fortune, not that that matters. you thought next quarter figures are going to be even greater, believe me, believe me, you know. that has raised a great deal of skepticism. also it is interesting that you raised jean—claude juncker, the ability let to put it mildly attitude to europe is really worrying —— ambivalent attitude. not to mention right—hand man steve banning launching the movement to really whack europe and whack decent relations because they don't like big international trade box. i think it is all to play. but whatever he says now, and this is fascinating in twitter, trump land at the core does not care because we are the skeptics and weekend but i'll actually you said this before but now you are contradicting, it doesn't matter at all. we are the fa ke doesn't matter at all. we are the fake new media. that is it right
10:41 pm
now. that is it. speaking of which, the guardian one of the few papers that reports on fake news. the damage that it is doing. but we like to have a bit of fun with fake news is sometimes in the way we report on it and look at and analyze it, it has some seriously damaging effects on society and business and people, doesn't it? data abuses and fake news a risk to democracy. this is a warning from mps that are coming down quite hard on this. this is a parliamentary report they have been working on for sometime. i think it is due to be published on sunday. it is due to be published on sunday. it is in the papers not because it has been leaked, or parts of it, bite dominic cummings of vote leave. all on social media. as. before we get onto that, what this basically says is that fake news and the way that we interact with news on social media does pose a risk to democracy. it says the relentless targeting of hyper partisan views, which play to be fears and prejudices of people is
10:42 pm
a greater threat to democracy them more familiarforms a greater threat to democracy them more familiar forms of so—called fa ke more familiar forms of so—called fake news. the problem is it is not necessarily deliberate. definitely not deliberate on the part of social media sites. it is people being shown what they want to see because of the way that we interact with news a nyway of the way that we interact with news anyway that we sort of create echo chambers for ourselves. that is something that is now quite easy and quite straightforward to identify. it is very difficult to fix. yep. this is why yes, there are two sides to this, i need to aspects, two sides to the client. it is what the great intervention or of terms, not thoughts about sharp power, which is the sheer volume of fake news. not necessarily fake by twitter. they came up particularly in the yulia skripal case, things have been identified, and she said, the troll factory. in saint petersburg. think on the ira which is the internet research agency, and that is something that is strategically significant. because it is simply
10:43 pm
overwhelming. it is overwhelming, and vulnerable frontier area. eastern europe, around the mediterranean, the war that about fa ke mediterranean, the war that about fake news is notjust the odd person with a self-interest or that does not like the message is going across. no. it's more organized fake news delivery. to drive people's opinion. exactly. it was not decoded in the helsinki press conference, the infamous one, trump and putin. but concorde came up in it. it is the concorde catering corporate run by putin that has really built up a sheer volume of this stuff. —— run bya sheer volume of this stuff. —— run by a buddy of putin's. local radios and talk radios throughout europe, it is very difficult to sort out fa ct it is very difficult to sort out fact from pure innuendo, rumorand
10:44 pm
gossip. it needs some clarity because as a correspondent might often you will report on a story and some people don't like what they see in that story. and theyjust immediately accuse you of fake news. 0ne prime example is our reporters ona 0ne prime example is our reporters on a coroners report. i could only report on what the coroner said. i could only report on the investigation in that corner‘s accord, but because it did not go down well with a certain section of people it was accused of being fake news. as if the coroner was lying. reporting a fact on whatjournalists can and cannot report and the opinions people have on it, i think the yulia skripal case is a good couple of that, where if you believe twitter there were suddenly thousands of experts in this very rare form of poisoning. it is very difficult to separate what is fact and what is opinion. there definitely are security implications of that, when governments and individuals and organizations take advantage of that. i'm talking about the term "fake news" now. it is so loosely used in now. and by trump,
10:45 pm
too. exactly. by a lot of people. fake news is often a term used now for people to express that they don't like what is being reported, which is really different to it being fake. it has an effect, sorry. rachel brought up absolutely right, when you had yulia skripal. it was followed within a month and the criminal attack there. followed within a month and the criminalattack there. in followed within a month and the criminal attack there. in duma. the volume of fake news on that was absolutely extraordinary and commented on what was going on with skripal. anyway, he gave benefit to the assad regime and whoever was the perpetrator of that internal attack. we used to call it propaganda, didn't they? inside the inside pages of the daily mail. half the fake news taxes. there will be some concerns here. that this could lead to censorship. yes, so many concerns. this is a bit more detailed about the guardian story and again it is lot
