for me, personally, not yet. what i compare for me, personally, not yet. what i co m pa re two for me, personally, not yet. what i compare two is a real, and it seems a long way from that. i was —— took me two years to get to that. for me, now, i feel like i me two years to get to that. for me, now, ifeel like i am not therejust yet but i certainly feel much better than i did at worlds and ifeel yet but i certainly feel much better than i did at worlds and i feel more like myself. so gold for kenny, but the first medal of the day came in the women's 10k scratch race, as emily kay had to settle for silver after being pipped on the line by the netherlands‘ kirsten vild. and to complete the full set, the men's team pursuit team earned a bronze after victory over germany. italy took the gold ahead of switzerland. swimming also got under way today in glasgow with heats and finals this afternoon and a first medal for the british swimmers. hannah miley took bronze in the women's 400 metres individual medley. the scotswoman, second from the top, was third behind frantine lesaffre
10:34 pm
of france who took gold. aimee wilmott started slowly and could only manage fourth. it definitely does help, especially being on home soil. but, why would a medal, it is really nice. my first championship since 2006. sol medal, it is really nice. my first championship since 2006. so i have come full for quite a few times. adam peaty, meanwhile, wasn't quite hitting his world record—breaking heights, but still qualified fastest for the 100 breaststroke. his time was the 13th fastest ever recorded. james wilby won the other semi. after reaching his first quarterfinalfor a year, andy murray has now pulled out of his next tournament. the former world number one is already unsure if he's going to play tonight in the washington 0pen due to fatigue after a late finish last night, and now he's announced he's withdrawing from next week's rogers cup in toronto. murray said that after playing hard matches this week he needed to be "smart" with his rest and recovery coming back from injury. the new championship football season
10:35 pm
got under way tonight at reading, and it was a winning start to management for frank lampard, whose derby county team won 2—1. but only just. 1—1 until the fourth minute of stoppage time, wales international tom lawrence headed in the winner for derby. lampard, who won 106 caps with england, hoping he can take derby to at least the play—offs in his first season. well, the premier league gets under way next week, and it looks likejoe hart might be on his way to burnleyjust in time. the manchester city goalkeeper had a medical today. hart still has a year left on his city contract, but appears to have no first—team future under manager pep guardiola. hart only wants a permanent move and is willing to take a pay cut after spending the last two seasons on loan at torino and west ham. meanwhile, the scottish premiership starts tomorrow. celtic are going for an eighth straight league title. but with the arrival of steven gerrard in charge of old firm rivals rangers, could the gap between
10:36 pm
be about to close? andy burke reports. brendan rodgers and celtic have dominated scottish football in recent yea rs. dominated scottish football in recent years. they are pursuing their eighth consecutive league title. it'll be very competitive again, as it has been for the previous years i have been here. it is not just about previous years i have been here. it is notjust about defending that out, we have to wait. we have to and earn the right. celtic begin their title defence against livingston here on a saturday. the big question is after two seasons of complete domestic dominance, can they achieve a third successive travel?|j certainly a third successive travel?” certainly think it is on. to expect them to do it i think of the very difficult. those one—off gains in those cup competitions, they are the oi'ies those cup competitions, they are the ones you sort of look at and there is always the possibility that something can happen dramatic in
10:37 pm
those games. so you would not put it past him, but i think he will be very difficult. over the road at celtic, the appointment of a steven gerrard as manager has captured the imaginations of the house or a challenge with a present this season? for rangers, ithink challenge with a present this season? for rangers, i think they are about finishing second. aberdeen had been second best in scotland for four years. can they be breached and finished second. can they win an old firm game. they have not won against celtic in ten to ten. can they stop at celtic from winning another trouble and when the cup? always drilling, often controversial, and never ever dull. —— thrilling. so confirmation of celtic‘s opening game against livingston and the other weekend fixtures which include the newly promoted st mirren taking on dundee tomorrow. and on sunday, rangers are at aberdeen and hibs, fresh from qualifying for the europa league, play motherwell. england's georgia hall is just a shot off the lead in the women's british open golf. she's behind thailand's pornanong
10:38 pm
phatlum, who leads on 10—under at royal lytham & st anne's. hall still hasn't dropped a shot and four birdies today took her to 9—under par, in a three—way tie for second place. compatriot florentyna parker is five off the pace. but the shot of the day so far came from canada's brooke henderson. she got a hole—in—one on the par—3 9th. 0ne bounce and then straight in the hole! meanwhile at the men's wgc at akron in the us, two britons are leading the way in ohio. tommy fleetwood shot a 7—under par 63 to move into a share of the lead, alongside ian poulter and america's justin thomas. fleetwood hit five birdies on friday as he chases a second title of the year. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more sport throughout the weekend. but now on bbc news, it's time for the papers. hello, and welcome to our look ahead
10:39 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin bentham, home affairs editor for the evening standard, and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent for france 24. let's take a first look at tomorrow's front pages. the daily telegraph says bank of england governor mark carney has been blamed for the drop in the pound following his comments that the chances of a no—deal brexit were, in his words, uncomfortably high. the main story for the i is that police officers may face a holiday ban as the government prepares for social unrest in the event of a no—deal brexit. the independent online leads with a picture of theresa may
10:40 pm
and emmanuel macron, who met for brexit talks at macron‘s summer residence. the lead story is about victims‘ concerns over the justice system. china targets $60 billion worth of us imports, says the ft. the times highlights a leaked official report that claims that bickering among surgeons at a leading heart unit contributed to an increase in patient deaths. it also says that the home secretary has launched an investigation into the handling of forced marriages by his department. only a third of household recycling can actually be reused, claims the daily mail, which has been actively campaiging around plastic waste. quoting figures from the local government association, it says the remaining two—thirds are either burnt or sent to landfill. the daily express says new data suggests that the heatwave has killed hundreds of people. 663 more deaths than
10:41 pm
usual were recorded as temperatures continue to soar. so quite an array of front pages, but not surprising, once again, brexit is there and emblazoned across all of him. the daily telegraph of there, mark carney blamed for slump in the palette, this after his interview on the bbc earlier on today. yes, the governor is being really accused of notjust by mps but also market and lists for this temporary drop in the pound. it then went up later on. well, they are all lining up to criticise him. jacob rees mann, david jones, and they are very angry at him and think
10:42 pm
he is presenting a doomsday scenario that they simply did not recognise. i think it is interesting that the daily telegraph says that mark carney therefore should be blamed because of this drop in the pound for the high cost of four holidays. that shows what they are thinking about. but we should point out that apart from these usual suspects, in that sense, the brexiteers, harshly criticising mark carney, there is somebody who feels sanguine for the opposite reason, and that is the chief executive of british airways. he says he feels assured that there will not be planes grounded here in the uk, there will be some sort of agreement that will be transported —— an agreement for transport copper hands the eu and therefore people should not panic. things will be sorted out, he even says we have dealt with situations with big problems and challenges before. dealt with situations with big problems and challenges beforem dealt with situations with big problems and challenges before. is a project we're again?”
10:43 pm
problems and challenges before. is a project we're again? i think the planes being granted always was project fear. the big story is nonsensical slyly, because in fact the pound did not really drop at all. it fractionally went down against the dollar, it is actually up against the dollar, it is actually up against the euro on the day. the point is that it is weaker than it was a few months ago, so that has nothing to do with what mark carney said. it is always dangerous to write stories about movements in the pound of the markets because they moved backwards and forwards, and the pound overall has been moved down a bit over the last few months but it is actually consistent with the levels earlier in the year. in terms of what he actually said, of course some people are concerned and think he is being too clinical but making these comments. as he did before the referendum. and there was controversy then. he was being attacked in parliament and so on. personally, i think it is reasonable
10:44 pm
of them to set out what he thinks the risks are. i think you can argue whether you accept those risks or if they will come to pass or not, but i think he has a responsible role as the chairman of the bank of england, the chairman of the bank of england, the governor of it... he did say he thought the banks were at least prepared for it. yes, it was not all negative. he thought we would all ride this out. it was above the short term. 0ne ride this out. it was above the short term. one thing he said is this fanaticism is prepared by the european side has a bit to do, which is interesting as well, and that applies about a lot of other things i suspect in reality. i personally would not criticise him for having said this. the actual device that used on the story is flawed slightly. it is becoming very clinical because brexit is political, advocacy it is very problematic. 0ne political, advocacy it is very problematic. one thing as far as far as we know that currently will not change is march 20 2019. it will, on that that day at 11pm. —— march 29.
10:45 pm
that clock is firmly taking. the issue is clearly that i think he will be foolish to deny that if there is no deal, there will not be some difficulty and indeed if there is evena some difficulty and indeed if there is even a deal, some sort of affect. you can argue again about the extent of that are otherwise that the big question about brexiteers, the long affects. the short—term effect, which is important for those affected if it is very turbulent as he is warning here, but the big question is the longer—term impact as well. but i think it is foolish to deny that will not be a short—term impact of a quite substantial nature if there is no agreement. in that struggle to dry and get some agreement, the ft has got this rather nice picture on the front page of theresa may and emmanuel macron, they‘ re front page of theresa may and emmanuel macron, they're on the
