after winning start, news of that and all the other sport. manufacturers of britain's most widely used weedkiller and insisting it is safe after a court in united states ordered hundreds of millions of dollars in damages to a man with terminal cancer who says it caused his illness. the jury terminal cancer who says it caused his illness. thejury in terminal cancer who says it caused his illness. the jury in california decided that the us chemical company m o nsa nto decided that the us chemical company monsanto knew that herbicide spray was dangerous but failed toward consumers. the company says it does not pose a risk to health. so what is the weedkiller used for? i spoke tojoe is the weedkiller used for? i spoke to joe stanley from the is the weedkiller used for? i spoke tojoe stanley from the national farmers union who told me why it is

an integral part. it is one of the things we use annually. it is essential to modern farming, it helps us put affordable, safe food on your plate. what do you use it for? primary use is to create what we call a stale seedbed before we plan the crop. around this time of year you will spray a field of stubble year you will spray a field of stu bble wa nts year you will spray a field of stubble wants the harvest has been taken off, and that kills any weeds in the stubble, meaning you can plant the following crop free from weeds to grow and challenged by weeds. what if any safety concerns do you have? personally i have no safety concerns about the use. the overwhelming weight of scientific evidence for the last a0 years is that it no appreciable harm to human health. if it did, i would be the

person most at risk, as the primary user of the chemical. but personally iam user of the chemical. but personally i am confident that if global regulatory agencies are happy for me to be using it in a responsible manner, then it is safe to be used. it is worth bearing in mind that the eu has the world's most stringent regulatory procedures when it comes to approving such products. if it is being used in the eu, there is the little evidence that you should not be using it. there were some doubts expressed, three years ago it was the who's cancer agency that said it was "probably carcinogenic to humans " was "probably carcinogenic to humans. " the science was "probably carcinogenic to humans." the science is not entirely secure. the overwhelming balance of science degrees that it is not harmful to human health. the report you are referring to is somewhat controversial in as much as it is

put in the same bracket as things like working night shift, eating bacon sandwich, or going to be like being a hairdresser, i believe, similar things being a hairdresser, i believe, similarthings in being a hairdresser, i believe, similar things in the same risk bracket. you can see we are talking about, when we say possible carcinogen, we are talking about such a low level of risk that i fear theissue such a low level of risk that i fear the issue has a tendency to become politicised. and it is something that needs to be brought back to the science and the facts. because this isa science and the facts. because this is a vital ingredient in the global agricultural system which allows farmers to produce safe and affordable food. what impact do you think this court case in california might have? i would like to comment too much on a californian court case not having all the details. i would point out this was a panel of lay people as opposed to a panel of experts. and it will see what the fallout from this court case is. and

of course more research can be done. you can never be too careful. but the overwhelming weight of evidence is that it is safe to use, and you would hope that clearer heads will prevail, and the politicisation around the issue will be suborned to scientific facts and more reasoned debate. officials in new south wales in australia say the army could be deployed to help farmers as the worst drought in living memory continues to take its toll. the state government says the military could be called in to help transport animalfeed could be called in to help transport animal feed and water to badly hit communities in the outback. it warm and dry winter has left many farmers struggling to survive. carlisle only works for the regional council in new south wales who have been running forums to help farmers. i asked what most pressing needs are for those farmers at the moment. the

most pressing need is water. we are at that point where he farmers are having to make that decision around doi having to make that decision around do i continue to use the stocks that i have now, what is going to happen next season, and am i going to be ever to be able to plant now so i can survive another season. rain is the number one thing, but for them otherwise it is getting access to feed, getting access to financial advice, access to mental health services. it's knowing that all three levels of government are working with them to get them through the crisis. how joined up is it all? i think that'sjust acting to happen now, and that's one of the frustrations that are farming

community have that we hear about is that many farmers are drought prepared and have been dealing with these drought conditions for some time. the government is acknowledging we are in a crisis, and it's now this is starting to come together. the difficulty is a lot of ourfarming come together. the difficulty is a lot of our farming community is not aware what is available, they will tell you, i don't qualify for funding, i don't need help. that's probably the biggest message any government is trying to get out, which is down to self assess, before things get too critical for you, ask somebody can speak to somebody, find out what help and assistance that is. because at this stage, if we don't get the rain soon, it won't be about this season, it will be about crops and livestock for next season as well. and this could take us forward a number of years. on a

personal note, you're there at the heart of it, what is it like living through a situation like this? it's heartbreaking, we're still a very prosperous town in terms of our business community, but to watch the farming community, speaking to many have traditionally worked the land every day, i met a sheep farmer who had had to sell all of his stock, and he said, i don't have anything to do, and i don't know what to do with myself. we're not talking about the fact he still had working dogs, and he said they are probably his mental health lifeline because he at least had to run his dogs every day when he had nothing else to do. we hear these terrible stories, hearing mums coming to the salvation army because they are unable to send their kids on school excursions. kids have formals coming up and they don't have the money for those sorts of things. the heart—wrenching stories, but it's just that decision

around what's the right choice for me? doi around what's the right choice for me? do i to try to hand feed my animals? doi me? do i to try to hand feed my animals? do i sell my starc and now i will sell at a loss? it is the tension and pressure of making those decisions that are starting to see people at breaking point. caroline lu mley people at breaking point. caroline lumley in new south wales. a 29—year—old man in southampton has been killed after an explosion at literary factory in wiltshire. the factory based near salisbury makes products to protect ships and aircraft from attack. another man was injured and has been treated in hospital. in a moment we will be joined by viewers on bbc one for the early evening news with ben brown. good afternoon. the manufacturers of britain's most widely—used weed killer, roundup, are insisting that it is safe after an american court awarded damages to a man who says it gave him terminal cancer. the jury in california decided

that the us agro—chemical company monsanto knew the herbicide glyphosate was dangerous, but failed to warn consumers. the man was awarded a quarter of a billion dollars worth of damages but the company insists the product does not pose a risk to health. from california, james cook reports. for dewayne johnson for dewaynejohnson the verdict was bittersweet, to say the least. at a6 yea rs old bittersweet, to say the least. at a6 years old he is dying of cancer, caused, the jury found, years old he is dying of cancer, caused, thejury found, bayer monsanto's caused, thejury found, bayer monsa nto's weedkillers. thousands more americans claimed they, too, we re more americans claimed they, too, were sickened by the herbicides and their key ingredient glyphosate. going through this case i've received a lot of support and a lot of prayers and everything, just getting energy from a lot of people. i'm glad to be here to help with

this situation after i learned about roundup and glyphosate and everything i'm glad to be here to be able to help, the cause is way bigger than the terrible jury found that roundup provided a substantial threat to users. the company had been negligent forfailing threat to users. the company had been negligent for failing to threat to users. the company had been negligent forfailing to put threat to users. the company had been negligent for failing to put a cancer warning on the label, they found. that is a choice which is reckless and shows a disregard for human health. and today is their day of reckoning. every single cancer risk that has been found had this moment. every single one. where the science finally caught up, where they couldn't bury it anymore. the agricultural giant strongly disagrees. monsanto says farmers around the world rely on glyphosate. it says it will appeal and insists its products are a vital, effective and safe. it is the most widely used

herbicide in the world, it's the most widely studied herbicide in the world. there are over 800 scientific, medical review published studies that demonstrate by the site is safe and does not cause cancer. and yet world health organisation scientists say glyphosate is probably carcinogenic while the us and eu continued to approve its use. this case by no means end the controversy about the most heavily used herbicide in history. with me now is our correspondent richard lister. richard, what are the concerns here about glyphosate? well, it is certainly the most widely used herbicide in the uk. something like 5.5 million acres of farmland are treated within each year as well as parks and gardens. the government says it meets our high standards for the protection of health and the environment. but in

2015 the international centre for research on cancer did say that it was a probable human carcinogen. following year to the world health 0rganisation following year to the world health organisation and the un said there was only limited evidence for that and they concluded it was unlikely to pose a carcinogenic risk in the food chain. eu as we've heard renewed monsanto's food chain. eu as we've heard renewed monsa nto's license food chain. eu as we've heard renewed monsanto's license to sell it here. britain voted in favour of that extension, france and belgium voted against. monsanto only got a five—year extension, not the 15 yea rs five—year extension, not the 15 years they'd asked for. i think it is worth noting that in the us, dewayne johnson is is worth noting that in the us, dewaynejohnson is one of 5000 people who say that this product gave them cancer. there is nothing like that significant number here in the uk, if any, like that significant number here in the uk, ifany, who like that significant number here in the uk, if any, who say that they got cancer as a result of using the product. president erdogan of turkey insists his country is not going bankrupt, despite what he calls its economic war with the united states. the turkish lira has hit record lows against the dollar after president trump doubled tariffs on imports of turkish steel and aluminium.

relations between the two nato allies are at a new low over a string of issues, including the detention of an american pastor on terror charges. here's our business correspondent joe lynam. crowds were out in force in northern turkey today in support of their president in this escalating and very public row between two nato allies. this dispute could destabilise the middle east and global markets. and today, president erdogan did nothing to calm the situation. he told supporters that the economy was not in a crisis nor going bankrupt and the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate were missiles in an economic war waged against turkey. although could president erdogan may be standing

firm, his currency, the turkishlb, was collapsing. it is down a0% so far this year against the us dollar. yesterday alone it fell by 1a%. that could push up prices rapidly for turkish consumers, interest rates might soarand turkish consumers, interest rates might soar and restrictions could be placed on turks withdrawing their own money. this row seems to have come out of nowhere. turkey has held an american pastor andrew brunson for two years over suspected but unproven links to the failed coup in 2016. america applied sanctions on senior turkish ministers last week and when turkey refused to release the past, president trump doubled us ta riffs the past, president trump doubled us tariffs on turkish steel and aluminium yesterday, in a tweet. while the collapse of the lira spells dangerfor while the collapse of the lira spells danger for the turkish economy, british tourists could see the cost of their holiday plunge. turkey has become a popular location since the pound weakened in 2016. the afghan government has said it's in control of the eastern city of ghazni, following a major offensive by taliban fighters.

there have been reports that heavy fighting is continuing in the provincial capital. the us space agency nasa has delayed the launch of a satellite, which will head closer to the sun than ever before. with two minutes to go, the parker solar probe's lift off from cape canaveral in florida was put on hold, when an alarm was triggered. it has been rescheduled for tomorrow. the united states scrambled fighter jets and declared a security alert after a man stole a large passenger plane from seattle airport and performed aerobatic manoeuvres, before crashing on a nearby island. the airline worker, who was alone on the aircraft, is thought to have died in the fireball. police say it was not linked to terrorism. andy moore reports. what the hell? the stolen plane was filmed by shocked witnesses flying low over the islands of puget sound. what is happening right now? ok, but why has it gotjets? it was pursued by at least two f—15 military jets. the authorities said those aircraft escorted the plane out of harm's way

but were not instrumental in bringing it down. what the hell is this guy doing? whilst he was performing aerobatic manoeuvres, the 29—year—old man at the controls was talking to air traffic control. the man piloting the plane said he would perform a last barrel roll and then call it a night. he crashed into a sparsely populated island, causing this fire. there was the loud boom and i looked at her and said, "what, did they drop a bomb over there?" and that really must have been it. 0ur information now is that there was only one person on the plane and that was the person flying the plane. there is no indication that this person who was flying the plane was trying to damage anything or attack anything. that man said himself he was not a qualified pilot, but he had enough knowledge to take a plane and fly it for some time before bringing his journey to an end. andy moore, bbc news. cricket, and jonny bairstow and chris woakes have put england in a strong position on the third

day of the second test against india at lord's. their partnership earned the hosts a lead of 178 runs, with england 291 for five in a rain—affected match. patrick gearey watched the action. after yesterday's storm damage, a short sunlit stroll would take england beyond india. jennings was lbw. alastair cook was caught behind off ishant sharma, 32—2. it wasn't long before another lbw, new boy 0llie pope trapped for 28 by pandya. mohammed shami to joe 0llie pope trapped for 28 by pandya. mohammed shami tojoe root, different bowler, same results. that finger again. it accounted forjoss buttler, too. but india were soon behind. ina buttler, too. but india were soon behind. in a game where guns are so scarce, 50 is a fortune. jonny ba i rstow scarce, 50 is a fortune. jonny bairstow was the first in the match

to get this far. he took england into a valuable lead. the mood was changing. chris woa kes into a valuable lead. the mood was changing. chris woakes helped push england's advantage up to three figures, a period of all—important stability in a game which has been on settled by wickets and weather just if it rains tomorrow it is essential england shine today. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten o'clock. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: m o nsa nto monsanto insists it with killers are safe to use despite the verdict american court that they iman's cancer. bring up—to—date with the rest of the headlines in about ten minutes. but let's bring up—to—date with events in yemen. the civil war

there is continuing to cause a great deal of diplomatic debate, not least at the united nations, where there have been discussions days that attack which killed maybe 29 children on a bus. this was a saudi air strike that hit that bus. there has been called for an investigation asa has been called for an investigation as a result. preparing to bury the dead. nearly 10,000 people have died in more than three years of war in yemen, but thursday's attack stands out. children, apparently on their way back from a picnic, hit by an air strike. it happened near a market in the rebel—held province of saada. un officials called it "a new low" in the conflict. what happened will change the lives of these children forever. they're now receiving what help is available in yemen's overstretched hospitals. translation: the blood bank here does not have enough blood.

thank god we're doing what we can. there are multiple injuries to the brain, to the bones. at first, saudi arabia, which leads the international coalition fighting the houthi rebels in yemen, said the attack was legitimate, targeting militants launching rockets. yet as outcry grew around the world, the saudi military promised an investigation and, after a closed—door meeting, the un security council said it will review what the saudis come up with. the important thing is the word "credible". if there is an acceptable, credible investigation, then the council will want to consider next steps in the light of that. if any investigation held is not credible, the council will obviously want to review that, and want to review if more is necessary. for many, though, that's not enough. human rights watch say we've been here before. the saudis have been given a chance to investigate themselves and the results are laughable, they say. britain, the us and france all sit

on the un security council and all support the saudi coalition to restore yemen's internationally recognised government. but their concern at this attack and yemen's worsening humanitarian crisis is growing. they've not called for an independent investigation, willing for now, it seems, to wait and see. as the children are treated and the war rages on, the world is looking for answers. who asks the questions will be crucial. donna larssen, bbc news. a man's appeared in court in calfornia charged with starting a wild—fire that led to more than 20,000 people having to leave their homes. the holy fire — as it has become known — burned nearly 10,000 acres through the mountains of southern california. peter bowes reports. another inferno. a rapidly moving wildfire fuelled by high temperatures, gusty winds, and tinder dry brush.

named after a local hiking trail, the holy fire broke out on monday, about 70 miles south—east of los angeles. dangerously close to homes, the flames leave residents with no choice. the police told us just a few minutes ago that it's time to leave. yesterday was mandatory evacuations. i left for the night and came back up. in the matter of about an hour they were driving around with their sirens on and forcing residents to leave, so all of us are down at the park. steep, inaccessible terrain has hampered firefighters and the blaze is still out of control. officials are warning that worsening weather conditions with thunderstorms in the forecast will lead to extreme fire behaviour over the next few days. there are a lot of resources available nationwide, but we are in competition with a number of fires up and down the state and also nationally. as those fires wind down and they release firefighting

resources, we're able to get them here. the authorities say it was started deliberately by this man, 51—year—old forrest clark has appeared in court charged with arson. he could face life in prison if convicted. at least a dozen wildfires are burning across california. 1a,000 firefighters, including crews from overseas, are battling the flames from the ground and the air. so we've got a really good relationship between america and new zealand and we've had the american usar taskforce teams and come out and help with the kaikoura and christchurch earthquakes in 2010, 2011, so we were really grateful to provide that reciprocal help. the national weather service says smoke from california and other fires burning in western states appears to have drifted as far as new york, 3000 miles away. some of the fires are expected to burn for several weeks. india's state of kerala

is on high alert after 3a people died in flooding. torrential rains during the monsoon season have destroyed farmland and led to mass evacuations in the southern state. 31,000 people have had to take shelter in rescue camps while millions of pounds worth of crops have been damaged. scientists working to stop the spread of malaria have developed a new net which could save more than a million lives. the teams from? durham, liverpool, switzerland and burkino faso have created a new bed net treated with insecticides which reduce the life span and reproduction of mosquitoes carrying the disease. a trial of the nets has already reduced the number of children catching malaria in west africa. megan paterson reports: after two decades of decline, malaria rates in some parts of sub—saharan africa are rising. mosquitoes have become resistant

to existing insecticides and that is where this new net, treated with different chemicals, will help. it looks like an ordinary net but it's robust, and most importantly contains insecticide inside the fibres. it leeches it out slowly over time, so you can wash this net 20 times, but it still has insecticide on it, it still will protect people against mosquitoes. so this is a very sophisticated piece of equipment. it doesn't look it, but it is, and for you that would cost about $2 a net, so it is very cheap. the nets have already been tested in burkina faso where they reduced clinical malaria cases by 12% in a group of 2,000 children. we are comparing the old net with the new net, the two active ingredients, and what we show is that the new net works better than the old net. we've got something which is a potential game changer. it at least gives us a step forward

for malaria control. the latest figures from the world health organization found 216 million people were infected with malaria. the biggest number of victims were children under five. the scientists hope these new nets will stop increase of the disease and help in its eradication. it's been fine for some of us, but outbreaks of rain for others. so, some rain through the course of the night, parts of england, pushing up into northern ireland and scotland. temperatures overnight much milder than last night. for most of us things in the mid—teens. fresherfor the north of scotland, but more humid tomorrow morning. 0n the north of scotland, but more humid tomorrow morning. on sunday, still outbreaks of rain in parts of southern and south—east england, and

patchy rain lingering for central scotland. the rain will be followed by more sunshine from the west and a few scattered showers. for wales on the south—west of england, some could be heavy and thundery. 18—22 for most, cooler in the far north. still u nsettled for most, cooler in the far north. still unsettled in the north for monday and tuesday, drying up and warming upfor monday and tuesday, drying up and warming up for this. —— further south. hello, this is bbc news. the headlines: agrochemicals giant bayermonsa nto insists that its weedkillers are safe to use, despite the verdict of an american court that they caused a man's cancer. an airline employee who stole an empty passenger plane from seattle airport is thought to have died after crashing on a nearby island. a 29—year—old man is killed and another man is seriously injured after an explosion at a military hardware factory in wiltshire. officials in australia's most populous state, new south wales, say the army could be deployed

to help farmers as the worst drought in living memory continues to take its toll. breaking news coming in in the last few moments relating to the fire in deptford in southeastern london. police have arrested two men for murder, attempted murder and the endangerment of life. scotland yard making this announcement. you see the young boy who died in that fire. now arrests made by the police in connection with what happened earlier this week in that fire. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, here's 0lly foster. good afternoon.

hello there, six more matches on the first weekend of the premier league. we've had five results with five winners. the lunhctime kick—off was at st james' park. tottenham made no signings in the summer transfer window, but they had seven world cup stars in the starting line—up. they pushed their luck against newcastle, but won 2—1. adam wild reports. the start of a new season at st james as part, but there were plenty for whom the football never really stop. tottenham brought with him england heroes, world cup winners, the premier league welcoming back its stars of the summer. time then for some to readjust to their day job, confusing for a moment how close jan vertonghen got here, nine mm over the line. the goal given. as quick as far as that was, newcastle's response was even it swifter. nearly two minutes later, the black—and—white found a space to

get their season up and running. with six of the spurs side involved to the final weekend in russia, some fatigue could be forgiven. but not dele alli. his england captain harry kane the first to congratulate him. second half full of chances, the best two newcastle. two goals equally unlucky with chances. spurs with the way, rejuvenated it seems by their summer break. adam wilde, bbc news. of course, now, after victory, it looks really good but always before, there are many questions that you need to find players who are ready to compete or maybe need more time but i is most important for the quality of effort. it was fantastic and the belief, i am so happy with that. we just have more. i think the team was working hard from the very

beginning against a really good team. we conceded, then her eagle eyes and in conceded again and the reaction in the second half was really good. it is see our players having challenges and pushing and not giving up so that is the positive. the world's most expensive keeper, £71 million kepe arrizaballaga, marked his chelsea debut with a victory and a clean sheet. it was also a first competitive win for the new manager maurizio sarri. n'golo kante gave chelsea the lead after half an hour, and jorginho, who was making his premier league debut, scored a penalty by half—time. that was after marcus alonso was fouled. pedro scored in the second half. 3—0 to chelsea. the game was more difficult than you can think, if you seem to think it was a very easy can think, if you seem to think it was a very easy game, a very can think, if you seem to think it was a very easy game, a very easy match. but in the first half, it was very difficult. he said in the week,

it will take two to three months is in the best of this team. do you think you can do it faster than that? i hope so. it depends on me, it depends on the players. it is not so easy for me at this moment. but maybe two months instead of three. we got beaten by top—quality today, but the players have done a very good job terms of desire and mentality. they have shown together a commitment. i have seen enough to be confident for this premier league season because we will not always beat teams with this top quality, but the mentality was there. and if you like to have a something out of this game, more matches will go in your favour. here are the day's other premier league matches. newly promoted cardiff and fulham both lost. the welsh side went down 2—0 at bournemouth. ryan fraser and callum wilson with the goals. the cottagers had a london derby. jeffrey schlupp and wilfried zaha were the scorers in crystal palace's 2—0 win. watford beat brighton 2—0. roberto payreyra with both their goals. the last match of the

day is at molyneux. kicked off in the last five or ten minutes, something like that. last season's championship champions wolves and everton, two of the busiest sides in the transfer window. still goalless but a lively start. it's been a shaky week for the scottish champions celtic. a draw in champions league qualifying and today they were beaten 1—0 by hearts. kyle lafferty with the goal. joe lynskey reports. even in august, football is never on the fringe in edinburgh, especially as celtic come here. last year, hearts into the champions 60 plus match unbeaten streak. celtic out to banish memories but the striker took the chance own by himself but he could not find the corner. hearts lucky not to fall behind in soon looking not to have ten men. this one of seven bookings in this match,

but the hot tippers since you'll be most emphatic finish. this is kyle lafferty, the northern ireland international who was found a way through. he has now scored against them four times in a row. it was all strangely below par from brendan rodgers's side. this near miss the closest they got. it meant celtic‘s earliest league defeat in 12 seasons, but hearts's stirring start seasons, but hearts's stirring start season atop the early standings. in this part of the capital, there is a festival in town and in the air. three other matches in the scottish premiership. aberdeen won 1—0 at dundee, gary mackay steven with a late penalty. goaless bewteen livingstone and kilmarnock, and steven boyd scored a screamer for hamilton at motherwell in their 1—0 victory. a century from chris woakes has helped england to build a big first innings lead over india on day three of the rain—affected second test at lord's. they're 320—6, 213 runs ahead. england bowled india

out for 107 yesterday but had their own struggles with the bat in the morning session. joe root one of four wickets to fall. a partnership betweenjonny bairstow and chris woakes has put them into a dominant position though. bairstow became the first player in the match to pass 50. and chris woakes has since gone past him. in the past few minuter, he's moved to his first test century ba i rstow just bairstow just caught out bairstowjust caught out port 93, though. it's the penultimate day of the european championships. plenty of atheltics to look forward to later in berlin but there's been plenty going on in glasgow. holly hamilton is in the city, a surprise result in the bmx but a brilliant result for the british team. you are right, it all started in the

british bakeries three file —— final. this one of the only permanent venues built here in glasgow for the championships. and just 2a years old, a hugely impressive run, followed by whites, who is just 18. impressive run, followed by whites, who isjust18. his first impressive run, followed by whites, who is just 18. his first year in singer competition but he managed to hold off the world champion from france to take that silver medal. but for evans, what an impressive result from him. a gold medal following on from his visible map in the quarterfinals in rio dejaneiro and he has endured eight surgeries to reach the pinnacle of this board. iam afraid to reach the pinnacle of this board. i am afraid no british interest in the women's final today, after bethany shreve or came eighth in her semifinal but more medal success and behind me at the man's team final in hydro, which featured the world champion. he was really very tie between britain and russia

throughout. right up until the final piece of the apparatus, the horizontal bar. i'm afraid dominic cunningham, first out but fell twice during his routine and thenjames hall did the same. he fell during his routine, which left russia to just provide three consistent routines to finish the job, which they did, pushing their score to the top of the leaderboard, giving them the gold medal, which meant seller for the british men but plenty to ziggler net result as well. very impressive moments from max whitlock in the palm horse ahead of the final tomorrow. 0ver in the palm horse ahead of the final tomorrow. over at the pool in edinburgh, somewhere britain has been successful throughout these championships, another silver medal. this in the ten metre mix sinker. still more diving action taking place right now. the three metre springboard and he makes triathlon coming up as well. more medal success potentially in glasgow but that will be the final event before the final day tomorrow, can you

ireland. well done, son. when the commonwealth gold in beating the world and 0lympian champion max whitlock. that was a huge deal for me. let alone take the top spot from him. ithink me. let alone take the top spot from him. i think i proved me. let alone take the top spot from him. ithink i proved myself me. let alone take the top spot from him. i think i proved myself that i can be up there with the best in the world. i want to keep pushing and keep getting bigger results that gold—medal. keep getting bigger results that gold-medal. and those who know and feel much better results will come. i get to see tracy champions and i see that with rhys. i believe he can be the best in the world. when, i did not knowjust yet, but i believe he has the mental strength and the tale nt he has the mental strength and the talent to be able to push it to world and olympic gold. i do believe that. the month of the these european championships has not been seamless, though. become a world champion gymnast says he is having to train his back garden. they left his usual training base after his

coach luke karsay was made redundant by the gm in bangor. with no object, he was forced it up for it to a new base. it has been a little bit challenging to say the least, but i had a world cup in turkey a few weeks later and one that. sol had a world cup in turkey a few weeks later and one that. so i feel it shows to myself and everyone else what i can do and everyone else what ican do what i can do and everyone else what i can do in what i can do and everyone else what ican do ina what i can do and everyone else what i can do in a tough situation. now he is aiming to show your what he can do and make more history for his country. ireland has never won a senior european medal. there must be a great character you go out and take. yes, it is. i was ireland's first—ever medal in the juniors all wa nt first—ever medal in the juniors all want to be the first to win a medal in seniors and why not make it a gold—medal? in seniors and why not make it a gold-medal? and it's up to leave won medals, the gold would already be his. his final comes tomorrow and glasgow. sports day at 6:30pm. a

little pga championship the second at around there. shane lowry in the contention that there. now the travel show on bbc news. we're starting our travels this week is sarajevo, the capital city of bosnia—herzegovina. it is fascinating and genuinely beautiful, turkish, more islamic than the rest of the balkans. the shops are filled with silverware. and with that comes architecture and a distinct food culture. the small city centre lies in a valley surrounded by hills, so there are wonderful views almost everywhere. but of course, we don't know sarajevo though primarily for its beauty. we know it for the terrible siege

that ended in more than 10,000 people losing their lives in the early 1990s. for three and a half years, bosnian serbs rained rockets down on the city. a quarter of a century later, the scars still visible. this used to be a holiday inn and was where the world's press was stationed during the siege. it became a symbol of the war and you might remember its distinctive yellow cladding on the outside that has still been kept this day. the hotels onlyjust changed hands. it has had extensive renovation work and has recently reopened under a new name. you would never know that for years, it was subject to frequent shelling and gunfire. normally, you might pay extra for a view of these hills, but for that very same reason, it was one of the most dangerous spots to be in this hotel. artillery fire was being blasted from the top of those hills and actually lit this building on fire above the floor

multiple times. i'm given a tour by hajro. during the war, he ran catering for the journalists stationed here. these days, he's the executive director. can you tell us what role the hotel played during the war? and the hotel went through some recent renovations and the average person walking in would not see anything that reminded them of the war. he's very keen to emphasise how this hotel is looking forward to future days. but it's not the only bosnian icon getting a shiny makeover. this long abandoned cable car network finally reopened just a few months ago. it has been out of use since the war began. this is one of the old cable cars built for the olympics in 198a. it fell into ruin during the siege,

but they still have one here on display. ajla here is deeply in love with sarajevo. how was the ride? nice. and she has agreed to take me up into the hills. you can see all of the city? every little bit. yes, everything, all of its glory. the renovation of the cable cars seems like a big deal for the city. yes, it is. it's a symbol of a city. the people were delighted by the fact that you can go up to the mountain in ten minutes, enjoy the fresh air, beautiful nature and then again you are in the heart of the old town. the hills up here were positions for serbian snipers and for artillery. there's a view of most of sarajevo. only in recent times

have the landmines been cleared. you can still see the odd military bunker. once at the top, there's one more repurposed relic, the bobsled track. built for sarajevo's moment in the sun, the winter olympics in 198a. its redecorated and the colour and nature up here made for a wonderful ride. action! ready, steady, go! ready, not so steady. i need more practise at this. we did, i think, a slow version because i was not sure on the brake. you can speed up really fast, that's the whole point, right? yeah. supposed to be a bobsled shooting down this. in the war, it was a shelter for the serbian army so they could shoot the city and everything. so unfortunately, it had that sad purpose. but i think the people made

the thing to repaint it and everything to make it morejoyful. with interesting activities like this, do you think it's a step away from memories of the war? yes, definitely. people are urging to go forward and not think any more about war, to have a normal life, to have a decent life. next february, we have the winter olympic games for young ones, so i think also its a good way to show that over here, we are more than what happened 20 years ago. in the 1920s and 30s, le touquet on france's north coast was the destination for wealthy british. the birth of the jet age and long—haul travel mean it has been largely overlooked ever since, but now innovations in flight sharing could put it back on your radar. we sent cat to try it.

just outside of london, not far from heathrow, is black bushe airport. this is not quite what i was expecting, but i am told this is the airport. hi, paul. how are you? good. a sunny day, the windsocks pointing downward. should be a sunny day. i am sharing a flight with paul. he got his private pilot's licence 25 years ago. i don't know how you fit four people in it. my goodness. this is tiny. i found paul through a website called wingly. thank uber of the skies, sort of. you pick a date, destination, request a seat and pay. it's one of a number of flight sharing platforms out there, flying between general aviation airfields which are closer to town. so i have chosen a day trip

to le touquet in france. we are in the air. like a flying car. what do you love about flying? i love getting out and the freedom you have about flying, getting to the middle of nowhere and getting to go anywhere. paul's dayjob is in it. being able to share flights pays for this rather expensive hobby and he can keep his flying hours up. we get to fly at maybe a quarter of a cost of a normal flight because we split it with our passengers. how much do you charge passengers?

the fuel, the plane, and things like that. these are mixed costs. then they get divided by the number of passengers in the plane. so you are not allowed to make any money off this? yes, noncommercial pilot are not allowed to making profits, so i'm paying for this flight, the same as you are. my place cost £150, but unlike a commercial flight, it's a very weather dependent. it could've been cancelled at a moment's noticed it paulfelt it was unsafe to fly. we are flying over france now and starting to pick up some radio signals coming through. welcome to france. yay! my legs definitely feel a bit wobbly. i'll tell you what, i'm glad i didn't have breakfast this morning. le touquet was once a busy international hub, but now you need

a private plane to fly here. stuff like sharing is a great way to visit without blowing the budget. plus, the airport is practically in town, so all you need is a bike. once you clear customs, of course. ready to go? i think so. i had her member which side of the road to be on. oh, yeah. the town is not a mix of old british charm and french this 116—year—old chocolate shop is an institution here. 0k, confession time, i maybe got a little carried away in there. but it smelled so good. but all good things come to an end. we have to be back before sunset because the airfield in britain has no runway lights to land. looks like we made it. for many of us outbreaks of rain,

and that rain will shift further northward and eastward. brain through northern england, northern ireland and pushing into southern scotla nd ireland and pushing into southern scotland and heavy showers pushing southeast, too. dick temperatures overnight much milder than last night. i'm —— temperatures overnight. but in the human still tomorrow. still outbreaks of rain tomorrow, especially in southern and southeast england and also patchy rain lingering for southern scotland, too. brain following. a few scattered showers in wales in the south of england, too. most of us the south of england, too. most of us around 1822 degrees and feel a bit cooler in the far north. still was settled in the north for monday and tuesday in drying up and warming up and tuesday in drying up and warming upa bit and tuesday in drying up and warming up a bit further south. bye for now. this is bbc news, the headlines: the manufacturer of one
