6:35 pm
still being felt. he meant the ashes and lost the vice captaincy. and it is important to add something else that came out from today, was the allegation that he had mocked two openly gay men and flicked a cigarette but at one of them, as well as insulting a doorman. stokes said to the police the force he used was reasonable and he was acting in self—defence or the defence of others. tomorrow we will hear from the doorman and the trial is due to last until next week. thank you. well it was a busy weekend for great britain at the european championships in glasgow, with a number of medals won in the velodrome with the track cycling and in the pool with gb‘s swimmers. and they have added to that today with. great britain have recorded an european record as they won gold in the mixed 4

preparing for the evening session. the one medal we have seen won by britain came in the maddison. this is the long race where cyclists compete as a pair and they can grab hold of each other and give their tea m hold of each other and give their team mate a sling shot. it is a very long race, with sprints throughout and you get points depending on where you come in the sprints. ethan hayter and ollie wood saved enough energy to finish in the bronze medal position. after the ceremony, both the riders said they thought being pa rt the riders said they thought being part of this event had helped their profile and their corrage. —— coverage. the sprint is easier to understand. rider against rider over three laps and three heats at this

sprints with the 100 metres. zharnel hughes is the joint fastest man in europe and he races tomorrow. thank you. it's been a brilliant weekend for women's sport — with significant milestones for these three athletes in particular. we'll hear from jamie chadwick, who's the first woman to win a british formula three race and the new open champion georgia hall in just a minute, but first let's talk about laura kenny — great britain's most successful female olympian won a couple of gold medals at the european championships over the weekend — including her first major individual title since giving birth to her son albie a year ago. you know, when i'm there, that is where i feel best and most co mforta ble. where i feel best and most comfortable. the minute i get on the start line, the nerves are have gone. that is where i know what to do. like i say, i didn't feel great,
6:41 pm
but i'm thinking i've left albi and i had but i'm thinking i've left albi and ihad mum but i'm thinking i've left albi and i had mum giment. he was — — mum guilt. i thought, i had mum giment. he was — — mum guilt. ithought, i didn't i had mum giment. he was — — mum guilt. i thought, i didn't want to leave him for nothing. i want to leave him for nothing. i want to leave him for nothing. i want to leave him and take a medal home so he is smiling. it gives you that extra boost. as i was saying, further to kenny's success, this weekend was a special one for england's georgia hall — she became just the 5th british woman to win a major golf championship as she won the british open at royal lytham yesterday and it was a great pleasure to meet her today. i began by asking how she was feeling after the win. such a relief that i've won and the four days was so long for me. especially around that golf course. it was tough. i can't believe i won. i'm so happy. just the fifth british winner of a major, was is something you thought would be realised in your career and so you thought would be realised in your career and so soon? yes, i have a lwa ys your career and so soon? yes, i have always dreamt of winning this, i started golf at the age of seven to
6:42 pm
do it now at 22 is incredible. to get my first big win and to be the british open is a extreme come through. —— dream come through. british open is a extreme come through. -- dream come through. you seemed very relaxed. was it different under the surface? yes, i just wanted to make contact with the golf ball on the 18th tee and i was trying to stay calm and focus on the shot. but inside, i was very nervous. but so happy at the end. how influential have your family beenin how influential have your family been in your career? yes, we are quite a close family and my mum and dad done a lot for me to get me where i am and my dad loves golf and loves sport. so he loves going with me and being part of it. when i was amateur i got invited to three majors, but i couldn't afford to get there. but it made me more
6:43 pm
determined to continue and work hard at my golf and now i won the british open. it is a greatjourney. at my golf and now i won the british open. it is a great journey. what advice do you have for younger golfers coming through, they can go for one of the biggest majors there is, so soon. if you're 15, you might think it might never happen, for you just a few years later? when i was 13,15, i dreamt of winning the british open. but you never think will it actually happen. but golf is a fantastic sport and you can never perfect it. so never give up and do what you do and don't try and copy anyone else. your victory, only 24 hours ago, but has it changed your expectations of what you achieve? hours ago, but has it changed your expectations of what you achieve ?|j know i can handle the pressure and try and get the job done if know i can handle the pressure and try and get thejob done if i want to. it does mean a lot to me and proves to myself that i can do it
6:44 pm
and can win a major. hopefully i can try and win more tournaments like this. and you go to the european championships this week. that is the inaugural europeans, how important is it that golf gets involved in new events like that? first time that golf‘s been introduced to the european championships, so it is a special one. i wanted to be part with and i'm playing with dame laura davies. she is a role model for english women like me and hopefully we can do well and i'm going to enjoy it and hopefully it will be good. and my conservations didn't end there, because there was a milestone moment in motorsport, as jamie chadwick became the first woman to win a british formula 3 race, atjust 20 years old. i caught up with her a little earlier. it has been something we have been chasing for a long time now. so i guess a lot of hard work, a lot of
6:45 pm
effort‘s gone into it. aside from being the first female, just to get my first win has been amazing and great to celebrate it with the team. but a ten second penalty meant you missed the checkered flag? a bit of sadness there. a bit. i was ready to do an overtake. but it is a hard track to overtake and i realised, keep up behind him, not make any m ista kes keep up behind him, not make any mistakes or take any risks. first win atjust 20 years old. there are not female racers at the top levels of the sport. tell us how and why you got into motor racing?” of the sport. tell us how and why you got into motor racing? i fell into it by accident. most young drivers or most racing drivers have family members that have been in the sport and i didn't have any of that.
6:46 pm
it was my brother went carting, he isa it was my brother went carting, he is a couple of year older and came home bragging and sibling rivalry kicked in and ifound myself in home bragging and sibling rivalry kicked in and i found myself in a home bragging and sibling rivalry kicked in and ifound myself in a go ca rt kicked in and ifound myself in a go cart and now we are here. and we know you're a quick driver, there are some across motor sport in general, but not in formula one, do you think it is a matter of time before we see female racers in formula one? yeah, i hope. so for me, one of the nicest things about yesterday is that although it wasn't one of my best races i have had, i guess the fact that i won, shows it is poss ybl. i know it is more than possible for women to be on par with men and it is nice that i like to think when you say show case it is and hopefully more girls can get
6:47 pm
involved. that is the key to getting more women to the top is getting them involved at grass roots. fingers crossed that will happening will be a female in formula one one day. and one person who has always been ‘box office' is england winger chris ashton — he says he feels like a new player after returning to the england international set—up. having not played for his country since 2014, ashton was named in a 44—man training squad that met up over the weekend. his re—call came after he secured an early release from french side toulon to join the premiership side sale. ididn't i didn't think i would get the chance so soon to i didn't think i would get the chance so soon to come i didn't think i would get the chance so soon to come in and spend time in the group. very grateful for that opportunity. it is nice, it feels like it's, it is like a new player almost, when i first came in 2010. so i'm happy to be back in the group. i thought when i went to france that it was it for me and i
6:48 pm
could spend a few years in france enjoying rugby. buti could spend a few years in france enjoying rugby. but i still felt as though i had a lot to give for england. it has always bothered me not being involved. i've never gone away from the fact of having a point to prove to anybody. it is what spurs to prove to anybody. it is what spui’s me on to prove to anybody. it is what spurs me on throughout my career and it was no different last season. now, time to talk football with the transfer deadline approaching on thursday afternoon and the start of the season on friday as manchester united host leicester city. i'm joined by the former united assistant and fulham boss rene meulensteen, who we'll hear from in just a moment but first a flavour of the mood from jose mourinho over this pre—season period. ifi if i was them, i wouldn't come. i wouldn't come. i wouldn't spend my money to see these teams. i wouldn't spend my money. we were trying to survive and to have the best
6:49 pm
possible results. the passion that many americans have for soccer deserves more. deserves more. deserves the best teams. i think what creates passion is the quality. so mourinho cutting an unhappy figure in many of his post—match press conferences over the summer. is there something brewing at united? no, it is an important reason. we have had the same things after every european championship or world cup, you knew a lot of players wouldn't be back. you had to plan for that in pre—season and probably in the first eight games in the season. in the first eight games in the season. every manager wants his best players there. the it is a big tournament there. they're playing out there in america and want to get the fans out. so he has a point. but you can sense reading between the lines that he is not really yet fully ha p py lines that he is not really yet
6:50 pm
fully happy with the squad he has. he is not setting a positive tone for the players. well, it is jose and he decides. after the match with bayern munich he had a different approach. he is what he is. he knows what he is doing and he know what is he wants and i think he wants to get that across. it may only be pre—season, but these are the results that have got some united fans a little concerned.
