branch to understand the full circumstances of what happened in the moments before this incredibly sad fatal collision. tonight, the train may have been driven away. but the work to find out what went wrong continues. sian lloyd, bbc news, port talbot. a man accused of lying about the existence of a vip paedophile ring has repeated his claims in court that he was raped by a former head of the british army and byjimmy savile. police launched a £2 million investigation after carl beech said he was one of several children sexually abused by a group that included leading figures from the british establishment. he denies 12 charges of perverting the course ofjustice and one of fraud. postal ballot papers will be sent to around 160,000 conservative party members at the end of this week so that they can choose the next prime minister. will it be borisjohnson orjeremy hunt? 0ur political editor laura

kuenssberg has been to canterbury — which the conservatives held for decades until 2017 — to find out who tory party voters there are planning to pick. in sunny gardens, pubs, homes or meeting halls, tory members gather to choose who to send to downing street. in sunny gardens, homes and meeting halls, tory members gather to choose who to send to downing street. it's their decision and soon. the ballot papers are going to go out on friday, most people are going to reply quickly. and so you could have this contest sewn up by wednesday. are you all going to vote quickly, do you think? yes. 0fficially, still three weeks to press the flesh but there could be only days to make a difference or the front runner to fall. he does has this ability to electrify a room and speak to people in a way that other politicians cannot. quite frankly, to me, there is no contest. i've been at party conferences where you have had to queue three hours to get into the main hall

to listen to what boris has to say. i'll be honest, i can't stand him at all. i think i worry about his competence and i don't think borisjohnson has that at all. i think he's also incredibly insensitive on racial issues. his opponentsjust seem tojump on the bandwagon and say, he said a racist thing, he doesn't like muslims, etc, etc, it's not true. i would stop short of saying he is racist. i think he's incredibly insensitive. a lot of mps do have doubts about borisjohnson‘s character. yeah. but does that worry you? not really. i think he is very ambitious, but why are you in parliament if you're not ambitious? every time boris appears, there is a spontaneous cheer and people call out and laugh. he connects. and if he can get our party back to what it was, then he's my man. good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i'm just going to take the biggest risk of the campaign so far and actually stand on a chair. might he flirt with risk after all?

there's chatter at least jeremy hunt is the one gaining. boris is a bit of an ice cream sundae, kind of sugar rush politician, says the right thing, he's very appealing. and he's a bit of cheese sandwich, isn't he? he's kind of like very boring, but he actually has all qualities you need. sadly, i think hunt has gone from one place to another and back again. can't decide whether he wants to be a critic in the stands or a johnson tribute act. i would rather have someone who is dull but gets the job done. if i think that boris could do the job, could win an election and actually be a competent leader, then yes. if in the end i decide after listening to a few more debates and so that he wouldn't, then it will certainly bejeremy hunt. for the stability, for the common sense, i think. what is the tally in canterbury? boris. undecided. hunt. boris. but sense and sensibility are both in play. politics is rapture and reason.

tory members will make their choice and then leave us all with huge power in one person's hands. it has being heralded as a major boost for britain's tv and film industry. the american streaming giant netflix has signed a deal to take over much of the world famous shepperton studios, in south—west london, to turn it into one of its major production hubs. shepperton opened its doors as a film studio in 1932. since then, it has been the home of hundreds of films, from clockwork orange and alien to star wars and bridgetjones. here is our media editor amol rajan. everyone knows the best place for a clandestine meeting in london is and always has been st james‘ park. good omens, based on the book by neil gaiman, is one of amazon prime‘s biggest ever productions, and it was made in britain. crowley and aziraphale have been meeting here for quite some time... co—produced by bbc studios, the series is an example of how a few american web giants

are transforming global television. as if armageddon were a cinematographic show you wish to sell in as many countries as possible. how has amazon's entry into the uk market changed things for a director like you? in simple terms, there's more money to make things on a bigger scale. good 0mens being made as a six and a half hour comedy, with a standard uk budget, we couldn't get it moving. we've now got the resources to actually make a world that is credible to the audience and that engages with the story completely and it's notjust a pared down adaptation. crosstalk. of course, it's notjust amazon. there is a creative boom going on in britain, driven by svod, or subscription video on demand. crosstalk. for christ sake! take the photo! over the past ten years, there's been an exponential growth in the value of the film and tv industry in the uk and its growth has significantly outpaced

that of the uk economy. tv today is marrying the best of the old with the best of the new. shepperton studios, owned by pinewood, is where countless legendary movies were shot and netflix is moving in. they believe that by investing in local studio space and hiring local staff, they can neutralise concerns about american dominance of the industry. the new netflix production hub will include 1a sound stages and a total of 435,000 square feet. no one in the history of film or television has caused so much disruption so quickly as netflix, and the truth is, they're just getting started. the company is pivoting from an american distributor to a global production powerhouse, deeply embedded in local economies. rivals might grumble about the dominance of an over mighty californian giant but viewers aren't complaining. and anyway — that's showbiz! that's why we've invested so heavily here. that's why our original production in the uk is so big.

this is about a $2.7 billion business, right, for the television market in the uk, that we hope to be a bigger and bigger part of. so, our predictions have generated about 25,000 jobs already. there a revolution going on in britain's creative industries and this one will be televised. amol rajan, bbc news, shepperton. let's take a look at some of today's other news, and the un security council has held emergency discussions on libya, after more than a0 people were killed in an airstrike on a detention centre. most of those who had been held in the facility were african migrants. the libyan government has blamed rebel fighters. the un's secretary—general, antonio guterres, says he is outraged. the last person to be stabbed in the london bridge attack has told a court how police shot dead his three assailants mid—attack. earlier, one officer told how he shouted at his colleagues to shoot the ringleader. police investigating the disappearance of the estate

agent suzy lamplugh, more than 33 years ago, have begun searching an area of land outside worcester following new information. the 25—year—old went missing from fulham in west london in 1986, after meeting a client. her body has never been found. england are into the semi—finals of the cricket world cup after beating new zealand at chester—le—street. andy swiss was watching the action. come on england, it's the biggest game so far for england! don't let the smile is for you. england fans arrive knowing their nerves were about to be severelyjangled. beat new zealand and they would be through to the semifinals. lose, though, and their world cup could be over. pressure? while you'd hardly have guessed as england's batsmen got off to a blistering start. jason roy and jonny with a ton of boundaries.

bairstow with his second century in a row — a mammoth total seemed certain. but new zealand clung to their catches and clawed their way back. england's final total of 305, still decent, but would it be enough? the answer was soon clear. a spectacular catch from jos buttler, followed by the ultimate touch of luck. mark wood tipping the ball onto the stumps to run out captain kane williamson. the finger of fortune was pointing england's way as the wickets kept tumbling. including one for ben stokes with his very first ball. fair to say he enjoyed that and england will surely be enjoying this performance. it's been a bumpy ride but their world cup dream looks very much alive. and in the last few minutes, england have wrapped up an emphatic win. it means they are through to their first world cup semifinal said 27 years and if they can reproduce this sort of form, well, anything is still possible, natalie. the netherlands have beaten sweden 1—0 to go

through to the finals of the women's world cup. after a goalless first 90 minutes, in extra—time the netherlands were dominant, and scored early on. they will face the usa, who beat england in their semi—final, in the final on sunday. the 15—year—old american sensation coco gauff has breezed into the third round of wimbledon after beating former semi—finalist magdalena rybarikova in straight sets, proving her triumph over venus williams on monday was no flash in the pan. but, as natalie pirks reports, it wasn't such a good day for the brits. it's been a day of slip—ups, a stretch too far for brits in the second round. heather watson lost in straight sets, but things were looking brighter for kyle edmund. the british number one was two sets up against spain's fernando verdasco, with the match for the taking, until his knee jarred and an old injury flared. after that, he looked in real trouble, dragged into a dogfight, losing the next three sets. he said the knee wasn't to blame, which made this performance all the more puzzling.

a kiss from dad before bedtime is usual when you're 15, but as night crept in, teen sensation coco gauff was about to raise the new roof on court one. the first set was taken in her considerably long stride. but as fans went loco for coco, she was the very picture of calm to break and then beat 2017 semifinalist magdalena rybarikova. i think i can beat anyone who's across the court. if i don't think i can win the match, i won't even step on the court. classy, composed, confident. mum candi has always known it. a star is born. natalie pirks, bbc news, wimbledon. it has been called a magical place made by the people of wales. st fagans national museum of history has tonight been named the winner of one of the most prestigious museum prizes in the world, the art fund museum of the year, after beating off four other museums across the uk.

0ur arts editor will gompertz visited all the contenders, and sent this report. five very different cultural destinations who are vying to be the art fund museum of the year 2019. but there could only be one winner, and it was... st fagans national museum of history near cardiff. it's a 100 acre visitor attraction boasting of 140 different welsh buildings that have been relocated with extraordinary attention to detail to tell the story of the country's past. a major £30 million development has just been completed which includes the creation of this iron age farmstead, made with the help of both visitors and volunteers. hi, my name's anna. i'm a volunteer at st fagans and i'm standing in the middle of an iron age farmstead called bryn eryr, and i helped to lay the floor. it's all about recreating the past. i think we all have that feeling inside that we want step back in time.

thinking about how people live their lives, i think that's really important. to see all the museums on the museums on this year's shortlist requires a country—hopping tour taking you from st fagans in cardiff to hms caroline in belfast, the last remaining british world war i light cruiser still afloat, and the sole survivor of the battle ofjutland. it is now a star attraction in a major dockside renovation which won the judges‘ approval, for putting education at its heart. across the water in scotland is the v&a dundee. its striking architecture caught the judges‘ eye, while its contents captured the imagination of many in the city. i think the fact that the museum has always had young people at its heart reallyjust allows people to come in and feel comfortable and enjoy and feel like it‘s their museum that they‘re coming to. 350 miles to the south is nottingham contemporary, a gallery celebrating its tenth anniversary with a museum of the year nomination for its commitment to contemporary art and diversity. you can come here and do activities to do with,

we speak a lot about lgbtq things going on, racial things going on. there‘s always something to do. the final finalist was the eclectic, eccentric pitt rivers museum in 0xford. it is a remarkable treasure trove of human history, shortlisted for the enlightened way it‘s rethinking its representation of the astonishing collection of over half a million objects that span from prehistory to the present day. but it was st fagans in wales that won the prestigious £100,000 prize for being, thejudges said, one of the most welcoming and engaging museums anywhere in the uk. will gompertz, bbc news. that‘s it from us — a little later than usual. good night.

hello, this is bbc news, with shaun ley. china and britain have become embroiled in a heated war of words over the demonstrations in hong kong. it is after the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, warned of serious consequences for china if the rights of people living in the territory were infringed. today beijing accused the uk of indulging in colonial—era fantasies, and warned it not to interfere in its domestic affairs. the foreign office in london summoned the chinese ambassador over his comments on the matter. hong kong have now returned to the embrace of the motherland. it is the special administration of china, it is not part of uk. and so i would

call them to hands of hong kong and show respect of what has been achieved in hong kong, under one country, two systems. following that press conference by the chinese ambassador, mr liu was hauled in for a meeting by the head of the foreign office, sir simon mcdonald, who described the ambassador‘s comments as unacceptable and inaccurate. and on twitter, the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, said: earlier i spoke to the bbc‘s diplomatic correspondent james landale. the chinese ambassador is a robust individual. he is a very senior diplomat. you know, he‘s not, you know, a junior diplomat. he is a very seniorfigure in know, a junior diplomat. he is a very senior figure in the chinese system. he used to be the ambassador in north korea, and so when he

speaks, he does speak with the full authority of beijing. and, you know, press c0 nfe re nces authority of beijing. and, you know, press conferences at the chinese embassy are rare, few and far between, and when they do, they are robust. and he made it very, very clear, in very uncompromising language, just how upset the chinese are. and essentially they are pushing back this idea that the british have any involvement or anything to say about hong kong whatsoever. that‘s where this dispute really lies. the british believe that the joint declaration, the international treaty they agreed with china, all of that way back in 1984, to agree to hand over in 1997, still stands, and that thatjoint declaration ensuring that hong kong has separate autonomy, it can have its free markets and an independent judiciary and things like that, that it still stands. the chinese saying no, that document is a historical

document, the chinese are in charge of their special administrative region. now in that case, given that there is a complete dissidence about how to interpret britain‘s role or non— role in hong kong, given that the chinese don‘t appear at the moment to have any intention of backing away from dealing with the protests, as they see fit, it‘s hard to see how relations are going to get any better in the short term. no, ithink get any better in the short term. no, i think the really interesting question now is what the hong kong government do. they are in between this, and! government do. they are in between this, and i think there is a degree of uncertainty about how they should handle it and what they should do next. because they are slightly torn between what they are getting... their instructions from beijing, because remember, most of that government are appointed by beijing committees, and also the sheer numbers of their own people on the streets, but also the international pressure. of course from the old colonial power, the united kingdom. but also presumably the business community in hong kong, which must be uneasy about what has been happening. exactly, there has always been this unease between businesspeople liking stability. they don‘t always like pro—democracy campaigns upsetting the apple cart. this is the old argument that has

been there ever since people like lord patten, chris patten, was the last governor, making his argument that the time, the business community saying that was it. the point is that clearly there are hundreds of thousands, if not more, people in hong kong, especially the young, who are walking the streets in these protests that are happening quite regularly, saying no, we think that what is being proposed by the chinese government and the hong kong government to allow for people in hong kong to be extradited to face trial in china in the mainland, is a breach of thejoint trial in china in the mainland, is a breach of the joint declaration, which says very specifically there should be an independentjudiciary. just one brief final question. do we have any idea of what was said between so simon and the ambassador tonight? all we know from the foreign office is that they say that sirsimon, foreign office is that they say that sir simon, their top diplomat, foreign office is that they say that sir simon, theirtop diplomat, made it very clear that what the ambassador had been saying was unacceptable and inaccurate, and the british government is not sitting there saying we support violence, and the prime minister made that

very clear in the house of commons. and we‘ll be taking an in—depth look at this story and others in the papers with our reviewers, caroline wheeler deputy political editor for the sunday times, and dawn foster, who‘s a columnist for the guardian. that‘s coming up after the headlines at 11:30pm. police say two rail workers who were struck and killed by a passenger train in south wales were wearing ear defenders and may not have heard it coming. the men, aged 58 and 64, were working on the tracks near port talbot. the line was closed for several hours, but has now reopened. the baby of a heavily pregnant woman who was stabbed to death in south london at the weekend has died. 26—year—old kelly fauvelle was eight months pregnant when she was killed in what detectives say was a brutal attack. her baby, named riley by herfamily, was delivered by paramedics at the scene, but died in the early hours of this morning. the police have released footage of a man seen running away

from the house that night. they say they are still unclear about the motive. 0ur correspondent leigh milner has sent us this from thornton heath in south london. yes, there‘s still a of mystery surrounding that man seen in the cctv, and this is the actual street where he was seen running down here in the early hours of saturday morning, just at the side of me here is the family home where police have told me the family actually heard screams coming from a downstairs bedroom, just towards the rear. emergency services were called, as i say, at around 3:30am in the morning. unfortunately, kelly couldn‘t be saved, but they did miraculously deliver her little boy, who the family have called riley.

now unfortunately, who the family have called riley. now u nfortu nately, after who the family have called riley. now unfortunately, after spending five days in hospital, he has since died. now, if youjust five days in hospital, he has since died. now, if you just take a quick look behind me, we‘ve got little teddy bears, we‘ve got lots of floral tributes there against the side of the house. 0ne floral tributes there against the side of the house. one of them even says kelly was so excited to be a first—time mother. she looked so radiant, and shone like a star. and just behind, actually, those floral tributes, you can see the police officer still guarding the entrance. they have been here all day. we‘ve also seen forensic officers going in and out of that property, trying to find clues as to what happened that night. now, police have described this investigation as fast paced and extremely challenging. they‘ve actually released two cctv recordings. if you have a look at this, the first one shows a man walking towards this address at around 3:15am on the morning kelly was killed. the second brief piece of film shows the same man running along this streetjust a few minutes after the emergency services

arrived. now, the metropolitan police say they are not sure if that man is responsible for the crime, but they want to know exactly who he is and want him to come forward as quickly as possible. now, two men aged 37, and another aged 29, were arrested at the weekend. they have since been released without charge. let‘s take a look at some of today‘s other news: the un security council has held emergency discussions on libya, after more than 40 people were killed in an airstrike on a detention centre. most of those who had been held in the facility were african migrants. the libyan government has blamed rebel fighters. the un‘s secretary—general, antonio guterres, says he is outraged. it is being heralded as a major boost for britain‘s tv and film industry. the american streaming giant netflix has signed a deal to take over much of the world famous shepperton studios in surrey, turning it into one of its major production hubs. police investigating the disappearance of the estate agent suzy lamplugh more than 33 years ago have begun searching an area of land outside worcester,

following new information. the 25—year—old went missing from fulham in west london in 1986, after meeting a client. her body has never been found. we‘ll be taking a look at tomorrow‘s front pages in a moment. first the weather, with matt taylor. hello there. if you were with us this time yesterday, there are signs that next week‘s forecast is looking a little bit clearer. but in the short term it is more of a north—south split as we go through the next 24, 36 hours. here is our area of high pressure that has been with us. it is still across the south as we go through into

thursday, but in the north we are allowing more of a north—westerly airflow to start to work its way in. rain across the north of the mainland, particularfor 0rkney, shetland and the head deke, wetter than we have seen on wednesday. increasing cloud deposits southern scotla nd increasing cloud deposits southern scotland in the far north of england. anywhere from lancashire southwards, blue skies dominate, temperatures up a few degrees and what we have seen, at around 2425 degrees quite widely. whereas we are stuck in the teens across parts of cloudier scotland and northern ireland. and a north—south split continues into thursday night. lots of cloud, still persistent rain across the western highlands. clear skies in the south. but there is an area of high pressure starting to recede a little bit back into the atla ntic recede a little bit back into the atlantic as we go through into friday. more of a north—westerly airflow starting to develop, and that will take the cloud in the north a little bit further south. showers across scotland, northern ireland, and perhaps a greater chance in northern england and north wales as well. southernmost county stay dry with sunshine, still pretty hot, up to around 26 degrees. notice those cool yellow colours compared to the oranges starting to push a bit further south is that north—westerly airflow really begins to dig in. and that goes more northerly as we go to friday night into saturday. this cold front here, very little on it. don‘t expect much in the way of rain, mainly a zone of cloud and a shift in wind direction to more north to north—westerly. that will bring drop in temperature

across southern areas on saturday, but still sunshine giving way to cloud. there could be a few showers in that north—westerly airflow. that‘s what i‘ve learned from experience, anyway. and only is he supposed it will feel substantially cooler. but it could be a woman day in western scotland and northern ireland as winds fall later later. that is because high pressure trying to build in from the west as we go into the second half of the weekend, so winds will ease down somewhat. varying amounts of cloud, especially through eastern parts of the country. sunny foremost and then sunshine turning hazy in northern ireland and western scotland later as this next small, very discreet weather system starts to edge its way in. foremost, sunday will be dry. temperature similar to saturday‘s values, but given the later winds, some of you will feel a touch warmer. that high pressure doesn‘t fully get in as we go into monday. around the top of it we start to bring in atlantic weather systems again and it brings back that north—south split. southern areas staying dry, and warmest. from the far north of england northwoods, cloud around with outbreaks of rain at times. north—westerly wind

starting to struggle their way in although some areas will stay dry throughout —— northward. some areas will stay dry as we bring in milder atla ntica re. will stay dry as we bring in milder atlanticare. from will stay dry as we bring in milder atla ntica re. from the will stay dry as we bring in milder atlanticare. from the sunshine, mid—20s possible in the south. that ta kes mid—20s possible in the south. that takes us into the rest of next week. the area of low pressure doesn‘t really get in. high—pressure keeps on trying to establish itself. a bit ofa on trying to establish itself. a bit of a between that and low pressure just to the south of iceland. high pressure will hold on. a bit different to what we saw yesterday, and that is more of a likely story that many will stay dry, with sunny spells. a few showers around, because high pressure doesn‘t build in enough. a few showers and high pressure, temperatures will continue to rise. and it looks like high pressure will edge its way to the east of us, and that could bring in a spell of warmer airfrom east of us, and that could bring in a spell of warmer air from the south before low pressure takes over later. we will keep you up—to—date with that. goodbye for now.
