tell itaézm itfii'it “wit my nephew could tell that wasn't him, that was actually adrian wooton, chief executive at british commission, apologies to him that you can see their report on the ten o'clock news which will follow a little later in this hour. two female playwrights have accused idris elba and the artistic director of the young vic theatre, kwame kwei—armah, of claiming their work as their own. tori allen—martin and her writing partner, sarah henley, say they created the show, tree — but have now been excluded from the project, and are receiving no credit. both men deny the allegations. one of the women has been speaking to the bbc. well a short time ago, our correspondent, charlotte gallagher, told me a little more surrounding the play. he said it's about two upcoming writers, they were approached years ago to develop a musical around and albums he retained got me mandela,

and they that number is eight years working on it saying they get a script and even gave it a name, which i still have to this day. so they spent lots of time and they felt it was really there show along with a decile back, but now they say they were really excited when manchester international festival said they wanted to obviously for every kind of younger writer, it's a dream come true. but they say at this point, they were essentially pushed off the project, completely erased and they say and every —— receive no credit. he said it staged at the moment and if you look at promotional material is very much advertised a play by two men, these women stayed that's simply not true and that they had been pushed out essentially they were underdogs to which we did have powerful men wa nted which we did have powerful men wanted to treat them and i spoke to both of them earlier and this is the message they had. i was thinking you are better than this, message they had. i was thinking you are betterthan this, and i think

message they had. i was thinking you are better than this, and i think we we re are better than this, and i think we were just two people so passionate about this production and we are to people so passionate about this industry and in doing the right thing andl industry and in doing the right thing and i wish even if they hadn't done right by us in terms of getting us done right by us in terms of getting us credit that we deserved, they could have done right by standing up i'iow could have done right by standing up now and saying 0k, we hear you and see you. what can we do to help make this industry better and truer and a safer place for everyone. if that's the case for prosecution, what are both then and saying if anything in their defence? they had denied allegations and they say the land then they did work on the show, but they shall have to go in a different direction eventually with a nearby chair because they showed that the lending device that they say let's not artistically viable. they say now it's a very different play to what it was then. now they do say that women were offered money, but

they say it wasn't an attempt to buy them off essentially, but it was about reaching a compromise, and i think what's going to be really interesting is at the impact it'll have on ticket sales especially when a transfer is to the young tree, because there's lots of people very angry about this on social media. and yeah it'll be interesting to see ata and yeah it'll be interesting to see at a does impact on the box office. well, more now on the cricket world cup and the news that england are through to the semi—finals for the first time since 1992, after comfortably beating new zealand by 119 runs at chester—le—street. i”ve been getting the thoughts of simon hughes, who's editor of the cricketer magazine. the way they played in the last two yea rs the way they played in the last two years they deserve to get into the semifinals there were some wobbles against sri lanka, but they came back strong against indiana on sunday, and then obviously confirmed the semi final position today against new zealand, to very good performances and you know, i celebrate the fact that they built

such an impressive campaign over the last four years, which hopefully, i should come to fruition with an appearance in the final if not winning the top. it's not an overnight sensation like you say, it's a lot of work and lots of preparation and just sustained equality, what is that they are doing now that they were not dealing ten yea rs doing now that they were not dealing ten years ago or 15 or 20 years ago? they are now focusing on the wide ball a lot after the appalling world cup apartments at 2015, it made enterprise plus priority getting the priority, and identifying a few plays and who are central to that, and one of the key players is jason reuter, you may have remembered in 2015 when angry and rejuvenated in the game, he was actually out the first ball of the game, against new zealand, but they didn't look bad they put 400 that day and roy has been very much integral to the whole

revelation of the white ball cricket, and i think it was him returning that really helped england to regain that sort of fearlessness which has been the hallmark of could get the last three or four years and i think it was him returning that really helped england regain that sort of fearlessness which has been the hallmark of cricket the last three orfour years. the hallmark of cricket the last three or four years. will there be more consistency in the selection is a? yes, that cannot be identified and had fearlessness, and innovation as well. they were aggressive but in as well. they were aggressive but in a positive way, they were a team that man is love, and does it 15 or 16 players had done the business in the last three or four years and obviously it's a team, describe, they are much more confident in each other‘s roles and position in the squad. you said they ought to be booking their place in the final all things being equal, how do you assess the next essentially couple of matches. it looks like india again, for the semifinal but they just keep them there, looks like they will learn from that and then they will learn from that and then they come learn from that and then they come learn from that and then the comeback is strong, but i think

it's important they try to get it easier batting first in the tournament chasing rhymes, but i'm confident they have what it takes to beat india if it is then in the 70s. who you think is in the final? australia versus new zealand looks like maybe australia against england because one thing they had less experience of winning between events obviously they wonder why a cop in 2015 and they had a few members of that team, but they had the coaching staff who now have to win the tournament ticket and big matches, so tournament ticket and big matches, so that's their advantage but england are home and on the role despite the two blips on the radar over the last couple of weeks, so i can see honestly in australia england final and you know, best player of the day when. simon. in a moment we would join the us on bbc 0ne moment we would join the us on bbc one way they are wrapping up football, for the full round up of

the bay news internationally and nationally with sophie, but before that let's take a look at the weather for the week ahead. that is at the map. hello there, if you hear that yesterday there are signs next week forecast is looking a little bit clearer, but in a short time, it's more of a north—south split as agoto it's more of a north—south split as a go to the next few hours, and high—pressure with us, still across the south as we into thursday, but in the north, not more of a northwest airflow working its way and, i ran across the north mainland whether they been seen on wednesday, increase the cloud on thursday for pipes in southern scotla nd thursday for pipes in southern scotland and northern ireland in far north of england, lincolnshire and yorkshire south, the skies dominate and temperatures 70 degrees about 2425 degrees quite widely, where we are stuck in the teens across parts that cloudy scotland and northern ireland. north—south split continues into thursday night, like of crop assistant ran across western

highlands, clear skies but as area highlands, clear skies but as area high pressure starts to receive a lead bit into the atlantic as a goat into friday, morava northwest airflow starts to develop taking the cloud for the south, shadows across scotla nd cloud for the south, shadows across scotland northern ireland and greater chance of northern england and north wales, most counties stay dry with sunshine and hot up to about 26 degrees but notice cool yellow colours compared to 0rient starting to push further south as it flows. more noise as we got there friday night into saturday, this court find here very little line, i don't expect much in the way of rain memory is on a cloud and shifting wind direction, tomorrow northwest. drop in temperature across other areas on saturday but still rather dry weather shine and cloud spreading out a few showers in the northwest airflow weight i had seen from experience, and down the coast feeling cooler but probably a warmer day in the west scotland and northern ireland as windfalls later, that's because high—pressure trying

to build in from the left as you go into second half of the weekend, window is down somewhat, varying amounts of cloud and eastern parts of the country, signing for most and then sunshine training hazy and northern ireland westin scotland as it small and fairly discrete weather system edges is way in. send a message i temperature similar to saturday, get a lighter wind for some of you might feel a touch warmer. high—pressure doesn't fully go in as he got into my day, around the top of that, least i could bring in atlantic white assist in bringing back that north—south split, area staying dry and warm, really from north wales, like the cloud around habits of rain at times, northwest wind starting to struggle and eastern area staying dry throughout, but i temperature is creeping up once again as we bring and be milder atla ntic once again as we bring and be milder atlantic air across and sunshine needed twice possible in the south. taking us into the rest of next week, that area of blood pressure

doesn't really get in, high—pressure trying to establish its up a bit of a fighting game between that and i love pressure to the southwest of iceland, it does look increasingly like, now the high—pressure will hold on. if i do what we saw yesterday, the more of a likely story that many stay dry, with many spouse, if you showers because high—pressure not building an app with a few clouds in the northwest, but temperatures continue to rise. beyond that, sneak peak from last weekend and high—pressure edging its way to be less, let pressure to the left and back and actually bring in a spell of what air to didn't stop herfrom a spell of what air to didn't stop her from the pressure takes
