assistant commissioner neil basu re—iterates that publishing any more leaks could be a criminal offence but says the police respect press freedom. andy moore reports. sir kim darroch has resigned but thatis sir kim darroch has resigned but that is not the end of the matter. now a police inquiry will try to get to the bottom of who leaked his e—mails. that memo is published in the mail on sunday called for president inept and insecure. mr trump responded by calling the ambassador wacky and pompous. he said he could no longer deal with him. this afternoon scotland yard said they respected the rights of the media but they had been given legal advice that publication of more revelations could constitute a public offence. the police said they we re public offence. the police said they were aware that leaked documents from the ambassador and others were potentially still in circulation. the publication, the warrant, which carry no public interest defence. in may gavin williamson was sacked as

defence secretary after being accused of leaking secrets from the national security council, a charge he denied. scotland yard were called on then to launch a criminal inquiry but they declined saying there was no evidence of a crime had been committed. the entire question of press freedom is now becoming a major issue in the battle to become the next prime minister. boris johnson has been accused of throwing sir kim darroch under that bass but that has today he defended press freedom. whoever has done it must be prosecuted. hunted down and prosecuted. hunted down and prosecuted. but, bats, i have to say, that it cannot conceivably be right that newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material should face prosecution. media organisation publishing such material should face prosecutionm is also very important to defend in a free society the right of the press to publish material that they think is in the public interest, leaks that they get, obviously must

not breach the official secrets act, but in the 21st—century, that big dividing line is going to be between open societies and closed societies. that media generally are worried by this latest intervention from the police. it is somewhat ironic, this week we have had the government are staging the first global conference for press media freedom, supposedly to other countries to be more transparent and to protect their media, and now here we have scotland ya rd media, and now here we have scotland yard making threats against the press in this country. before this latest intervention by scotland yard the journalist who wrote the original story about sir kim darroch had hinted there might be more to come. the battle of wills between the police and the press could be looming. conservative leadership contender this afternoon reiterated the importance of freedom for the uk as well. we have to remember that the

official secrets act is therefore a reason and it is the job of the police to decide if a criminal act has been committed. but at the same time not forget what is precious about our country, which as we have one of the most vibrant, for the media in the world. and this is a country that has always been known for standing country that has always been known forstanding up country that has always been known for standing up for democratic values so we have to make sure that we defend the right ofjournalists to publish lea ks we defend the right ofjournalists to publish leaks when they are in the national interest, and we are national security has not been compromised. where the rights to publish that leak? it is a matter for a journalist to make that judgment, not for politicians like me. that is what is important about our country, that the media are not controlled by politicians. and thatjustin, jeremy hunt speaking there. tropical storm barry has been

upgraded to a hurricane. it has made landfall on the us south coast. it has not hit new orleans yet. heavy rain is falling on louisiana. wind speeds have reached 120 kilometres per hour. barry is also expected to bring surges across the coast, just south—west of new o rlea ns. the coast, just south—west of new orleans. that national hurricane centre says barry should quickly wea ken centre says barry should quickly weaken as it moves on shore. let us get the latest from our north american correspondence. high winds lashing the louisiana coast as tropical storm barry approaches land. as it travelled slowly across the warm waters of the gulf of mexico, families, friends and neighbours filled sandbags in the hope of protecting their homes. a state of emergency was declared days ago, and people were told to stock up on supplies. they may not have another opportunity for several days. people here have seen stronger storms, but it's the amount of rain — estimates of up to 2a inches —

that barry will bring that people are really worried about. i'm on the levy on the south side of the mississippi river. you can see new orleans just over there. now, forecasters are predicting that a storm surge is gonna travel upriver from the gulf of mexico. just to give you a sense of how high water levels already are, people tell me that normally, they can walk amongst these bushes and trees that have been almost completely submerged in water. forecasters say the combination of conditions predicted over the next few days could cause water levels to crest at a historic high, and dangerously close to the top of the levies that protect new orleans from being submerged. the defence and drainage systems have been strengthened since the catastrophic flooding that followed hurricane katrina. that storm of 2005 claimed more than 1,800 lives. but the city's mayor has warned there's no drainage system in the world that can handle the amount of rain they're expecting to fall over the next 48 hours. sophie long, bbc news, new orleans.

in the last hour we got this update. it is pounding the louisiana coast, it isa it is pounding the louisiana coast, it is a slow—moving storm, only moving at around three miles per hour, meteorologists are describing it as hour, meteorologists are describing itasa hour, meteorologists are describing it as a very messy, sloppy storm. we do now know it is making landfall, we we re do now know it is making landfall, we were expecting that to happen earlier, forecast was at seven o'clock this morning, that is now happening, we believe. in terms of what is happening on the ground, even before that made landfall, 55,000 people are without power this morning. almost all flights have been cancelled from new orleans airport. offshore drilling rigs have been evacuated of course for some days now. it is already taking a financial toll. in terms of the human population in new orleans it was very quiet here last night. most people heeding those warnings that they should go home and shelter in

their properties. this morning we have not yet seen the worst of the weather so in new orleans itself we are now seeing if you people out on the streets this morning. obviously it has been raining quite heavily and there are vehicles out on the roads again as well. but there is the warnings, we have not seen the worst, and people are still very concerned here about the rising water levels. since hurricane katrina which devastated new orleans what has changed? devastated new orleans what has changed ? because the devastated new orleans what has changed? because the american administration of that time under george w bush got a lot of criticism about a slow and inept response. yes. there is no one here who does not know about what happened in 2005. hurricane katrina is deeply embedded in the consciousness of this city. when you speak to people thatis this city. when you speak to people that is one of the main themes, they have the hurricane on approach over the last few days. people here are used to big weather events. they have had in louisiana three tropical storms and two hurricanes in the

last decade alone but what this has been is an unwelcome reminder of that drama. there was catastrophic flooding in 2005, it claimed the lives of more than 1800 people and devastated lives of many more. it took them years to rebuild. now the flood defence system has been showed up, upgraded, they spent millions on the drainage system as well. there is some good news this morning. that is some good news this morning. that is the cresting water levels that we have been talking about with the storm surge, rainfall and already high levels of the mississippi, they are now predicting that will crest at 17 feet. the levees can take up to 20 feet, so that is looking better than it was yesterday when predictions were 19 feet. so, dangerously close to the top of that levee system protecting the city. live updates on the bbc news website. an update on another developing story. the latest twist and turn in the rising tensions

between iran, america, the uk and other countries as well. certainly diplomatic tensions. jeremy hunt, who is the foreign secretary at the moment, let us remind ourselves of that, as well as pitching to be the big boss, he still has other things to do including dealing with the iranians over this super tanker which has been held in gibraltar. it was seized just off the coast of gibraltar in an operation involving british royal marines and accusations it was breaking european union sanctions by taking oil to the assad regime in syria. jeremy hunt has just updated as on twitter. he said he had a constructive call with the iranian foreign minister reassuring him that that uk's concern was the destination of the oil, not the origin. he said the uk would assist with the release of the supertanker if there was a guarantee that its cargo was not bound for syria. mr hunt said he was told that iran wants to resolve the issue and

is not seeking to escalate. he also said he had spoken with gibraltar‘s chief minister, who is doing an excellent job, he chief minister, who is doing an excellentjob, he said, coordinating theissue, excellentjob, he said, coordinating the issue, and who shares the uk perspective on the way forward. clashes have broken out between police and protesters in hong kong. thousands of people marched against mainland chinese traders. police fired pepper spray and used batons on the marchers, this who threw umbrellas and hard hats back at them. it's the latest in a string of demonstrations. stephen mcdonell has more from hong kong. this seems to be the new normal in hong kong. every weekend there are a

rolling series of protests which at any stage could turn into a conflict with the police. they start off as a march and then at the end those who i suppose you could say are at their more radical end of the protest movement are really taking it up to the authorities. police here also showing that their tolerance for the tactics of these protesters is growing smaller and smaller. now they are turning out in big numbers again. you can't see rows of riot police here in this shopping district tonight. even though most of the demonstrators have gone home they have decided to push them out of the streets and clean out the area. they are calling out warnings for people to leave, they are shaking their cans of pepper spray, batons and shields are ready, and now they are going to come forward.

here they come. the riot police have decided that the time for this protest to come to an end is now. they are moving towards these makeshift barricades to pull them apart. and in big numbers they are going to return this shopping district to the way that it was. the thing is, it is hard to see how this is going to finish because on the one hand, beijing is not going to easily give people in hong kong genuine universal suffrage, not without a fight. but on the other hand, these protesters now at least many amongst them, they are not going to give up, unless they have genuine one person one vote democracy in genuine one person one vote democracy in hong kong. one thing is for certain however, there is no going back to the way things were, so both sides need to find a way forward. the headlines on bbc news.

the metropolitan police re—iterate that publishing leaked diplomatic telegrams could be a criminal offence. the warning follows the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. the police have been criticised for threatening prosecutions of the media over the leak. the floodgates have been closed in new orleans in preparation for hurricane barry. surges and heavy rain are expected. new zealand has been holding its first public firearms collection event in christchurch as part of the government's response to the city's mosque shootings in march. high—powered semi—automatic weapons were banned after the atrocity in which 51 people were killed. licensed owners who hand in their weapons will be compensated as phil mercer explains. dozens of people came to a racecourse in the south island city to hand in weapons that are now illegal. we are really proud

of what we have achieved today. we have had 169 people come through today, we have had handed over 224 firearms, 217 parts, and $153,000 had been paid out to people handing over firearms. the engagement with the public from the firearms public in canterbury has been stunning. new zealand has been forced to change its attitudes to firearms. gun ownership has been high, but the mosque attack four months ago in christchurch prompted a ban on military—style semiautomatics. more than $130 million has been set aside to compensate owners of prohibited weapons. they have until december to hand them in. more than 250 buy—back events will be held across new zealand. some owners are complaining that the amount of compensation

they will receive is inadequate. but in christchurch, there is an acceptance that gun owners must do the right thing. the law changed and i can understand, it makes everyone feel safer, so yeah, get it over and done with and hand it back. it wasn't an heirloom or an antique, just a firearm. i can get another one with the right size magazine tube. the australian man accused of the christchurch shootings has denied 51 charges of murder, a0 counts of attempted murder and a terrorism charge. he is expected to go on trial next year. a man has been stabbed to death in birmingham in what police say may have been a targeted attack. officers were called to the sparkhill area of the city at around 11:30 last night. the man, who was in his 30s, was confirmed dead at the scene.

at least 26 people, including one briton, have been killed in an attack at a hotel in somalia. gunmen rammed a car containing explosives into the asasey hotel and then stormed the building in the southern port of kismayo yesterday. regional politicians and clan elders were holding a meeting inside. the militant group al—shabab said it carried out the attack. more than 30 people have been killed in floods in nepal and north—eastern india. torrential monsoon rains have caused landslides and swollen rivers to reach dangerous levels across the region. hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by the rising floodwaters. heavy rains are expected to continue in the coming days. facebook is facing a fine of nearly £4 billion over its handling of users' personal data. the social media giant has been hit by a series of privacy scandals, including one involving the political consultancy, cambridge analytica.

the fine by the us federal trade commission is the largest ever against an american tech company. here's our north america technology reporter, dave lee. it is the largest fine ever levied against a us technology company. even so, facebook‘s many critics say it is little more than a slap on the wrist for a company he made more than $15 billion in the first three months of 2019 alone. the $5 billion facebook will reportedly now pay is notjust for cambridge analytica, but for a broad range of privacy by—elections. the us federal trade commission said facebook had breached a rams that had made in 2011, over how personal data would be used. what is not yet entirely clear is what additional measures may be imposed on facebook in future. such as independent oversight on the firm's privacy practices. according to reports in the us media, the measure shall not include

any personal repercussions for facebook‘s chief executive. facebook told investors in april that it had already put aside most of the money needed to pay this penalty. meaning there will be little financial strain on the company. one former official from the us trade regulator said he felt facebook considered this fine simply the cost of doing business. facebook has consistently aggressively violated consumer privacy. i believe at least in the us it is a calculated decision and i think the company has prioritised growth at any cost. facebook would not comment on the settlement, but has in the past said that it had learned tough lessons and was working hard to change. that will not be enough. one us senator called the sign a mosquito bite. pledging, like many lawmakers around the world, to create strict

data privacy regulation. we are going to get more on the terrible weather forecast for new o rlea ns terrible weather forecast for new orleans where hurricane barry is bearing down. i am joined by a spokesman for louisiana national guard. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. can you update as on what barry is doing, where is it hitting hardest at the moment? we are watching it approach. it has slowed down significantly over the night. it is not quite where we thought it might be today. that is a good thing. we have used all that time to continue to make sure we have got what we need as far as our preparations go. it is approaching louisiana's coastline and we have more than 3000 national guardsmen plea positions all throughout the state whenever we can best react.

you probably accept that naturally the world is scrutinising this hurricane, perhaps more than others that have hit america recently, because it is heading towards new o rlea ns, because it is heading towards new orleans, and none of us have forgotten, particularly new orleans, what hurricane katrina did and the loss of life and the criticism that followed that, of how loss of life could have been avoided. how prepared you for barry, even though it may not be as bad as hurricane katrina? what has changed since 2005. i think you could almost say that these are to our most incompatible scenarios. i was part of the hurricane katrina crew, and here i am today, it is almost night and day. technologically and physically the levies, the pumps, all of those physical changes from where they were prior to hurricane katrina, to where they are, night and day. louisiana now has one of the most advanced pumping system in the most advanced pumping system in the world, those pumps got a good test if you days ago when we had

massive rainfall. the pumps worked. as far as the pumps, the levies, the protection system, incompatible. the other good news is lessons learned from hurricane katrina for all those people then that where they are that out there now, you cannot replace those types of lessons. our approach to those storms, it is night and day. we have thousands of shoulders pre—position whereas before we were more of a reactive mode. we are entirely aggressive and proactive today. working in conjunction and coordination with all state agencies, where that was not there before, now we are all lockstep, we are so used to working and straining together so we can react when the storm makes landfall and moves through. when it does there is obviously a lot more work to be done after it has gone as well. how prepared are you to rescue people that have been caught up in the storm and to begin a trading up operation as well? you have hits on the two primary things that we do.

first and foremost we save lives. as soon as first and foremost we save lives. as soon as it is safe for our guys meant to move we will deploy the boats, aircraft out there in the impact areas to save lives and get those people to safety. our engineering teams will get to work leading those roadways to allow all of that traffic, and allow the city to begin standing up again. third we will moving to provide security. we anticipate some need for shelters. as those shelters stand up and people get their life support back up people get their life support back up and running the guard can come in and we can make sure that those things are secure and safe and take ca re of things are secure and safe and take care of those families that are displaced and need help. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to the bbc at such a difficult time for you. we wish you, your men, your women, and all the people of louisiana the best in the coming hours. keep us updated. we have also got live updates on the bbc news

website. 100 years ago a neglected estate in essex was transformed into a place where young people could embark on a life of adventure. gilwell park became the spirtitual home of the scouts. robert hall has been retracing scouting history as celebrations get underway to mark the location's 100th birthday under way to mark the location's100th birthday. the opening of gilwell park is the most significant event. there is that the spirit of scouting, of endeavour, of friendships, that sense of family and belonging, and it is loved by scouts all over the world. it started with a run down manor house, and overgrown estate, and a group of east london scout volu nteers and a group of east london scout volunteers here to bring another baden powell dream to reality. this person remembers the story her

father told her of that visit. they got the train from the east end of london. they got the train to chingford station. then they pulled a cart up to here. of course it was almost derelict —— derelict by that time. they found they could not sleep in the house, it wasjust time. they found they could not sleep in the house, it was just a derelict. they had to find somewhere, that is where they found a pigsty, it had a roof on it, it was dry. 50,000 young people had flocked to scouting during the first world war. gilwell park's priority was to produce leaders to replace the 7000 lost during the conflict. in the years since it opened its doors gilwell has trained 50,000 volu nteers doors gilwell has trained 50,000 volunteers and welcome thousands of visitors from around the world, these included members of the east london scout troop that started that restoration work one century ago.|j have learned how to pitch a tent, i

have learned how to pitch a tent, i have learnt how to tidy up a tent, i learned how to cook.|j have learnt how to tidy up a tent, i learned how to cook. i am looking forward to more camping trips because they always bring out new activities. it is like a wild forest that you can explore. there are lots of different activities. my last camping trip was pretty funny because we did not want to sleep in ourtent, we because we did not want to sleep in our tent, we used to stick our heads out and look at the stars. my dear brother scouts, i am 80 years old. what do you think of that? i cannot say that i feel very much older than some of you. scouting values are still there, rooted in that friendship, endeavour, going the extra mile, helping your community. i think we should have this huge sense of pride. nearly 80 years after robert baden powell's definite movement he founded is thriving. gilwell is its beating heart.

now it's time for a look at the weather with tomasz schafernaker. for most of as it has been a decent day with some summertime cloud, sunny spells, but a few showers as well. the weekend overall is not going to change an awful lot. still one or two showers in the forecast for tomorrow that's where the sun comes out it feels quite warm. temperatures, ending the afternoon with highs of 23, 20 four celsius in the south, cooler on the north sea coast, scarborough could be no warmer than 15. here is the forecast into this evening. still a couple of showers across some parts of yorkshire, may be into east midlands, possibly south—east also. not particularly cold tonight, 15 in london, ten celsius in the north of the uk. tomorrow we start off on a fine note, a little build—up of cloud here and there, one or two showers possibly in the south as well and the south—west.

temperatures will be similar, 22, 20 three celsius in the south, up to 22 in glasgow. a decent day.

hello, this is bbc news with chris rogers. the headlines: the metropolitan police re—iterate that publishing leaked diplomatic telegrams could be a criminal offence. the warning follows the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. the police have been criticised for threatening prosecutions of the media over the leak. the floodgates have been closed in new orleans in preparation for hurricane barry, storm surges and heavy rain are expected later. simona halep is the wimbledon champion. simona halep wins her first wimbledon final —

beating serena williams in straight sets on centre court. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt speaks with his iranian counterpart, saying the uk will assist with the release of the super tanker if tehran assures the cargo is not bound for syria. bill murray and adam driver team up to rid their town of zombies. find out what mark cohen made of that and the rest of the week's releases indie review. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. simona halep produced the performance of her career, as she beat serena williams to win her first wimbledon title. the talk before the match was about whether serena could win a record equalling 24th grand slam title but she was blown away in under an hour by halep, who becomes romania's first ever singles champion

at the all england club. our reporterjohn watson was watching at wimbledon. pretty perfect tennis from halep?m was, astonishing considering that the first four games were won in 11 minutes. she produced some superb tennis which serena williams had no a nswer tennis which serena williams had no answer to. we might feel we perhaps underestimated her because there we re underestimated her because there were so underestimated her because there were so much talk about serena williams getting this elusive 24th grand slam but after taking the first set 6—2, she did the same again to take the second and wrap up the match in under an hour. it was a brilliant performance but somewhat helped by a number of uncharacteristic errors from serena williams. 26 unforced errors in this match as perhaps she felt the effects of the lack of match time which she has had in the lead up to

these wimbledon championships. she went out in the third round of the french open, she had a knee injury, should not play any warm up tournaments in the lead up to wimbledon but it will all be about this performance from simona halep, the first romanian to win the wimbledon title in front of her family. her mum said it was a dream that she would see her daughter win the wimbledon title. she saw her get her hands on this dish as did the thousands of fans who watched her displaying a trophy on the balcony. let's hear from her after that impressive win. it is something very special and i will never forget this day because it was my mum's dream. whenl this day because it was my mum's dream. when i was about 10—12 she said ifi dream. when i was about 10—12 she said if i wanted to do tennis i had to play the final in wimbledon so the day came. she literally played

out of her mind, congratulations simona. i was a little bit like a deerin simona. i was a little bit like a deer in headlights. whenever a player plays that amazing you have to take your hat off. congratulations on all the hard work. but disappointment for britain in the wheelchair at finals? andy lapthorne in the wheelchair at finals? andy la pthorne came through in the wheelchair at finals? andy lapthorne came through to win some silverware yesterday in the quad wheelchair doubles. he was in action today in the singles playing his partner who he won with yesterday, dyla n alcott partner who he won with yesterday, dylan alcott in the singles final but he had no answer to the performance from olcott. 6—0, 6—2. they played brilliantly yesterday

will. there was disappointment for alfie hewitt and gordon reid. they had enjoyed success in wheelchair doubles, they have won the title here at wimbledon three times in a row. they were hoping to make it four but again, no answer. losing 6-4, 6-2. four but again, no answer. losing 6—4, 6—2. they had beaten the number one seed in the previous round so they were well placed to win the title again this year but u nfortu nately, title again this year but unfortunately, did not work out. that said, they were clearly pleased at playing in front of a huge crowd and have been enjoying the growth the game, as they have shown so many times at this tournament. to have the opportunity to play on court number three is amazing. the opportunity to play on court numberthree is amazing. last the opportunity to play on court number three is amazing. last night we we re number three is amazing. last night we were thinking we were playing on court 14 but to come here this morning, it is amazing for myself and everyone who is here. a big, big

thank you. we were spoilt yesterday with that incredible federal an aduu with that incredible federal an adult match. —— roger federer, rafael and adele match. he will have to do it again if he is to beat novak djokovic. yes, what can you say about this final? we have spoken about the dominance of the big three in the men's game. yet again they have proved that class is timeless and roger federer will have to draw on all his experience and begin moments if he is to come past novak djokovic, the defending champion who is looking to went back—to—back titles again this year. arguably he is the form player, we know he was on the cusp of all four grand slam titles at the same time before going out in the french open. he is not really been tested so far in this

tournament, coming past roberto agrees to batista. what a contest we have in store it tomorrow. so, so ha rd to have in store it tomorrow. so, so hard to draw between these two. i think roger federer will want a good start, if he can get that who knows what he will produce? it will be some story if he is to come out on top against novak djokovic. as is so often the case when these to take centre stage, you certainly won't wa nt to ta ke centre stage, you certainly won't want to take your eyes off it.|j predicted serena williams would win so predicted serena williams would win soiam predicted serena williams would win so i am saying nothing about the men's final, it could go either way. next to the netball world cup where england have beaten scotland to make it two wins out of two. northern ireland meanwhile, heavily beaten by australia in their opener, have bounced back with a win over sri lanka. our reporter kate grey has been watching the action in liverpool—

how impressive a display was that from england today? the result was what england was after. they are expecting to canterbury beat scotland and that is what they did, it was 70 goals to england, 34 to scotland. it was an unusual game to play. there was lots of chopping and changing, i have never seen so many of chopping and changing, i have never seen so many different combinations but england proved to be dominant, finding theirfeet. both teams were hoping to try out these different combinations as they moved through the tournament. it didn't lack a bit of rhythm. for england, they did get an injury. one of their starting defenders found herself with an injury and walked off the court. we are not sure what has happened but she has gone back to the hotel for in assessments are not ideal. hopefully we will see her back on quite soon. let's hear from rachel dunn. it was an enjoyable

game. we knew scotland were quite strong. we knew it would be a tough game but i am happy with the performance we put on yesterday and we need to keep doing that throughout the tournament. a good win for england. crucial for northern ireland to get a win after their heavy defeat to australia and they did against sri lanka. yes, they did against sri lanka. yes, they needed that win if they wanted to stand a chance of progressing. they had a tough defeat against australia but sri lanka is one of the lowest seeds in the competition. it was a little bit messy for northern ireland in the early stages but they settled into the match and started to build their confidence throughout. they eventually won that match 67—50. they will have to improve again tomorrow because they play zimbabwe. they have been a bit ofa play zimbabwe. they have been a bit of a story here, brilliant

supporters, shouting and singing throughout so they will have their work cut out. england will play similar tomorrow and scotland will play uganda, all hoping to get wins under their belts so it makes the next phase of the tournament easier. thank you. lewis hamilton's missed out on pole position by the tiniest of margins. and will start behind his mercedez teammate valterri bottas at tomorrow's british grand prix. the finn beat the world champion to pole byjust 0.006 seconds in qualifying. ferrari's charles leclerc will start third. azi farni reports: all eyes are on lewis hamilton this weekend as he looks to become the most successful driver at the british grand prix. before that was the chance to extend his record of six pole positions at silverstone and he started strongly with a new track record in the first qualifying session, breaking it in the third despite a mistake on his opening

lap. but as so often this season, his team—mate, valterri bottas was hot on his wheels. hamilton bears the weight of british hopes but there is plenty of support for his compatriot. the rookie hasjust had his contract extended for next year and finished eighth while fellow british rookie george russell was 19th. having dominated in final practice, charles leclerc and sebastian vettel threatened to take the fight for a mercedes but while charles leclerc came in, the vessel could only manage sixth. for mercedes it cannot become closer. hamilton gave everything he could on his final lap but fell just hamilton gave everything he could on his final lap but felljust 6000 of a second short. valterri bottas taking it. not good enough. we worked really ha rd taking it. not good enough. we worked really hard but it got away from us a little bit. a sacrifice happened in qz which would have helped get a reading of how the

current was but we didn't do that. the second lap just wasn't that great so fair play to valterri bottas, he did thejob. great so fair play to valterri bottas, he did the job. it has been close all weekend today with lewis. lam happy close all weekend today with lewis. i am happy to get a good lap. these grand slams will be in full voice tomorrow as fans hope to see a moment in history. a sell—out crowd of more than a hundred and 40,000 is expected. the majority of them no doubt urging lewis hamilton on to what would be a record sixth british grand prix win. time now for the day's other sports stories: geraint thomas recovered from a crash with 15km remaining to finish alongside most of his main rivals on stage eight of the tour de france. you can just about see it happening here in the aerial pictures. belgium's thomas de gendt won after a stage—long breakaway, thomas is fifth overall, one minute and 12 seconds behind the leaderjulian alaphilippe. british divers jack lawer

and dan goodfellow secured their first major honour as a pair with a 3m synchronised silver at the world championships in south korea. they were in gold medal position at one point but strong final dives from china meant they had to settle for second. the result secures team gb a place in the event at the 2020 olympics. england's matt wallace carded nine birdies in his third round of 64 to move into contention at the scottish open. he's currently in second place, three shots off the leader bernd wees—berger. manchester united have started their pre—season tour of australia with a win. they beat perth glory by two goals to nil thanks to second half goals from james garner — and this opener from marcus rashford. england captain eoin morgan says it would mean everything to win tomorrow's cricket world cup final against new zealand at lords. it's the first time england have made it to the final since 1992. at one stage it looked like they wouldn't make

it out of the group... but momentum is with them after brilliant wins over india, new zealand and australia, a big contrast to four years ago when they were dumped out in the first round: it is that far removed i never even in my wildest dreams dreamt of it. it is awesome. i dreamt of hitting the runs in the world cup final, i never dreamt i would read my country at any world cup final. that probably sums up how much it means. have you thought about how it will feel? i am going to try and take in as much as i can as long as it doesn't affect performance. it is a great occasion an opportunity to go out and win a world cup, that does not come around very often. that's all the sport for now. visit our website for more stories. plenty reaction over simona halep's

win in wimbledon. that is it from me and the team. now it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's releases, as ever, mark cohen. hi mark. hi. so we have the dead don't die. i want to tell you at the beginning it is a zombie movie but it is not a horror movie so you are fine, ok? good news. we have stuber which is an action comedy. and the brink, a documentary about steve bannon. the dead don't die. yes, ok, so it is a zombie movie but that is pretty much

the end of the horror. this is an ironic, sort of laconic zombie movie byjim jarmusch, a stranger in paradise, kind of, indie film. more recently did patterson. so, we have two cops, adam driver and bill murray who are driving around centerville which is a real nice place and they start to think that something weird is happening. there are news stories about the world having been knocked off its axis by polar fracking and daylight isn't ending when it should do, then by the time they get back to the station it is evident that things are going severely wrong, in fact, the dead are coming back to life and walking the earth which is not to the delight of everybody. here is a clip. guys. shouldn't we be telling each other that it's all going to be ok? that this will all go away like a bad dream? ronnie? gee, lindy, i'm not sure i can say that.

cliff? please. it's all going to be ok, lindy. maybe it will alljust go away like a bad dream. i doubt it. ok, so you were laughing all the way through that clip. who doesn't love bill murray? there is a lot to be said for him. there absolutely is and in fact, individually, there are lots of sort of, funny and charming moments. there is the undead and the deadpan, and you have it cast which includes tilda swinton wielding a samurai sword, iggy pop, there is undead in search of good coffee, jokes about cleveland, jokes about star wars key chains. if you are a fan ofjimjarmusch which i am, it often starts to just

feel like a greatest hits collection of quirks and tropes. there isn't anything here you haven't really seen before. you might see it as a sister picture to only lovers left alive. i think that's being kind to it. the weirdest thing about it is that it takes a lot of tropes from george romero's zombie movies, especially the trilogy of night of the living dead, dawn of the dead and day of the dead which i know you watch on hard rotation, and each of which are about a specific thing. dawn of the dead is about consumerism and the sort of seems to be saying, well, in this age we are all consumers but what we are searching for is wi—fi. there are zombies walking around looking for wi—fi and it is in passing, kind of quirky and funny up to a point. there is also a fourth wall breaking device. there is a song by sturgill simpson which is, the dead don't die.

it is on the car and bill murray says, why do i know there some? and adam driver says because it's the theme song. there is another thing, how do you know this is going to happen? well, we have seen the script. there is a kind of weird fourth wall breaking what you think it is going to do it suddenly do something really interesting and radical but no, itjust doesn't. itjust goes from place to place and every now and then it cuts back to tom waits who is playing this kind of wild man who lives who lives in the woods, quotes herman melville just does a lot of being tom waits with a lot of hair. you are in the film. iam. tom waits is the only impression i can do. the problem with it is i just wanted more. i think there are individual funny quirky moments but it just felt like... yeah. it seems to me like you're saying it doesn't quite hold together. like the zombies, it doesn't go anywhere itjust wibbles around and then falls over. wibble, i love that. it's like dr who or something. let's move to the second film, which i haven't seen, but i like the premise. kumail nanjiani and dave bautista in an action comedy. i think kumail nanjiani is really funny, he was so great on the big sick which he co—wrote.

he is an unassuming uber driver. dave bautista is a law enforcement agent, who due to a complicated plot contrivance, there is a bad guy he has been trying to get for ages. he has laser surgery, therefore he can't see. he knows where the bad guy is going to be. he has to get an uber driver to help him. it is a contrived way of throwing the two of them together for an odd couple buddy cop movie in which one of them is an uber driver. i think nanjiani is always funny, he does get the maximum laughs. he isjust an uber driver driving an electric car who has found himself with dave bautista who wants to do nothing other than crack heads. the problem is, it is not really enough for the film. also, they have a brilliant martial arts performer who is never given a chance to shine so in the end it comes down to whether you find kumail nanjiani and david bautista sparking off each other and funny enough. dave bautista plays the whole thing like a short—sighted bear with a sore head, which is a joke that lasts

around 15—20 minutes. again, a talent that i wanted more from. i was ultimately disappointed. i will confess that i did laugh four or five times and all of those laughs were because i do find kumail nanjiani just funny. number three is a documentary but this has a regular cinema release? yes, documentaries are now a very important part of cinema. this is directed by alison klayman, it is a documentary about steve bannon. steve bannon has gone out of the white house for complicated reasons and is now going around the world trying to drum up support for his own personal populist nationalist revolution movement. in doing so, we see him, consorting with a rogues gallery of people, people with links to far right groups, on the other hand, opportunist millionaires,

and nigel farage. if you're interested, what i like to do is set up something — fund it somehow — and i think you're the perfect guy. we help knit together this populist nationalist movement throughout the world. because guys in egypt are coming to me, the modi guys in india, duerte. you know, and we get orban, and... we are somehow some sort of convening authority for conferences and stuff like that so we get ideas out... i mean, you think that's a worthwhile thing? yeah... nobody's got it, nobody is doing it right now. it's not being done. the reason that we are going to beat corbyn and sanders is they're not prepared to take on any powers that be. we're fire breathers, i mean, we're taking on the establishment every day. you have taken on the tory party, i'm taking on the republican party. they don't have that... and that's why we can steal a march on them. and the reason they don't want to do it — it's immigration. as long as they don't take on... theyjust refuse to take

on immigration, we're prepared to take it on. yes. it's a global revolt. we're fire breathers and we are taking this on. the thing is, the documentary doesn't interrogate bannon at all, it is a fly on the wall documentary. it is like spending time in his company. the film—maker had very good access. in a way, it is left to journalists who we see actually challenging bannon. great interventions from paul lewis of the guardian and others who do challenge him, talking about charlottesville, affiliations to people who hold appallingly racist and have extremist views. those sections remind you of the importance of good journalism, journalists who are willing to raise the hard questions, willing to interrogate and ask things that are difficult. do you really need to be interested in the minutiae of us politics to enjoy it as a film? enjoy is a strange word because i found it very hard company to be in.

i respect the film—makers decision to literally stand back and let people have their say. give them enough rope, let them say what they want. obviously, there are moments in the documentary which do cause an intake of breath in which people say things which are quite outrageous but the documentary is very keen to just stand back and say, judge it yourself. which i did. anyone who follows you on twitter can imagine how you judged it. let's talk about best of the week. this film hasn't been a wide release, it is never look away. i think it is a very smart film. inspired by the life of gerhard richter. the artist. it is a film about ways of seeing. it is talking about complicated artistic ideas wrapped up in a melodrama that goes through various sections of history from the war

and fascism to communism. what is interesting about it, on one hand, it is a very mainstream and accessible film of a love story and mystery. on the other hand, it is asking about the ways in which artists can look at things by looking at them from the side. sometimes you can only look at something by looking away. it is three hours long but it flew by. i'm terrible with long films but i thought it absolutely flew by. and dvd? yes, armstrong, the documentary about armstrong is coming up next week. we are at the anniversary of the moon landings, we have seen a lot of films about it recently. the fact of the matter is that it is such a fascinating story. this documentary is his life story, before and after the mission.

i am addicted to the stuff. every single time, i am astonished at what was achieved. when people work together, what you can actually do. at the centre of it is this very enigmatic character who was never very emotional in public but did something extraordinary. thank you very much. see you next week. enjoy your cinema going. bye— bye. pleasant enough day out there for most of us, if you have had a little bit of rainfall that you are not expecting, you're in the minority, the showers are mostly isolated across northern and eastern parts of the country, and tomorrow, there could be one or two a little bit further south as well. high pressure is over us, but it is not a clear high, you can see a fair bit of cloud across the uk, so not exactly sunny across the british isles, but we have got some sunny spells.

this afternoon, temperatures probably ending at around 23—24d. 20 in the lowlands of scotland, if you squint, you can see the showers across yorkshire this evening, and one or two showers heading in the direction of east anglia and the south—east. some spots overnight, but the vast majority of the country will be dry with clear spells. 15 in london the overnight low, ten in belfast. the highs with us tomorrow, you can see this patch of blue, possibly one or two showers in the morning on sunday, across east anglia and the south—east, but they will not last for very long, then we will do it all over again, another day of summer time clouds, some of us will have some decent spells of sunshine, but for others, it may be a bit cloudy, particularly across some of these northern and eastern areas. respectable temperatures, 22—24d, even 22 expected in the lowlands of scotland. how about the cricket world cup? the weather is looking absolutely fine, might start off cloudy in the morning,

but by the afternoon, the cloud will break up and allow for some sunny spells. sunday's weather forecast, the weather still looking decent, low pressure out there, it is heading in our direction, but as far as monday and tuesday is concerned, the weather is looking fine, there will be a lot of dry weather. beyond that, from tuesday evening, we will start to see the wind and rain picking up across some western parts of the uk, then the weather will go downhill somewhat for the rest of the week. talking about weather going downhill, certainly going downhill across the deep south of the usa, this is the satellite image, and the storm barry, in the process, taking place right now. over the next few days, a tremendous amount of rainfall causing flooding across this part

of the world.

this is bbc news, i'm chris rogers. the headlines at six. the metropolitan police reiterate that publishing leaked diplomatic telegrams could be a criminal offence. the warning follows the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. the police have been criticised for threatening prosecutions of the media over the leak. it cannot conceivably be right that newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material should face prosecution. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt speaks with his iranian counterpart — saying the uk will assist with the release of an oil tanker — if tehran assures the cargo is not bound for syria. the floodgates have been closed in new orleans in preparation for hurricane barry.
