in the american state of louisiana, where there are warnings of life—threatening floods. novak djokovic is one set up in the final of the men's singles at wimbledon — this is live from centre court, where roger federer is seeking a ninth title. and at half four — another chance to see an extended version of laura kuenssberg's interview with theresa may, as she prepares to leave downing street. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the mail on sunday has published more leaked diplomatic correspondence from britain's former ambassador in washington — defying warnings from scotland yard that media organisations could be

prosecuted for doing so. in one of the cables, sir kim darroch suggests that president trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal last year to spite barack obama. our political correspondent helena wilkinson reports. may last year, borisjohnson as foreign secretary goes to washington and meets his us counterpart. his mission, to persuade the us president to soften his stance and stick with the iran deal. he appeared on talk shows. tougher on iran... but efforts failed — donald trump did not listen and withdrew from the deal. now new confidential e—mails printed in the mail on sunday revealed what was allegedly going on behind—the—scenes. according to the paper, kim darroch wrote to mrjohnson, saying...

under the deal, iran had agreed to limit nuclear activities. the trade—off for us economic sanctions to be lifted. donald trump did not think it went far enough. borisjohnson failed in trying to persuade him, and he has been criticised by those who feel he did not do enough to support kim darroch who has since resigned. it was wrong for it to be leaked, it was wrong for president trump to throw a wobbly and behave like a toddler. it was wrong for theresa may to be as weak as she was, but the real villain of the piece is borisjohnson who refused to stand with one of our most senior diplomats. focus has shifted to a row over press freedom in britain — whether it was right for the paper to publish the e—mails. scotland yard has issued a warning, if you publish leaked government documents, you are at risk of committing a crime — comments which have been widely condemned.

i do not think the mail on sunday was wrong, we have a very strong freedom of press in, so i think we have the right balance. for whoever becomes the next prime minister, they will have to pick up the pieces of this diplomatic fallout. in the meantime, there is a criminal investigation into who leaked the e—mails. the shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, has criticised her party's response to the bbc panorama programme, which made allegations about the way labour handled claims of anti—semitism. the party described former officials who had acted as whistleblowers as "disafffected" and said they had "professional and personal axes to grind". ms thornberry told the bbc‘s andrew marr show that it was important labour addressed the problems raised by the programme. i think that the labour party has to deal with this issue,

and frankly, i welcome the fact that the... i mean, it's a shame and a disgrace that the equalities and human rights commission have been brought in to look at the labour party but they have, and i think we should now welcome it. i think we should open — wait a minute. we should open our doors up and we should say to them, "right, we have been trying to improve our processes. clearly, it's still not working. can you help us?" a 25—year—old man has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman in south london and the manslaughter of her baby son. kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was attacked at her home in south london two weeks ago. navtej johal reports. kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at her home in croydon in an attack last month. her son, who was delivered by paramedics at the scene, also died a few days later in hospital.

police were called to her house in the early hours of the morning, where she was in cardiac arrest, and died at the scene. herfamily, including her mother and baby nephew, were all at home at the time of the attack. today, police have charged aaron mckenzie with her murder and manslaughter of her child. 25—year—old has also been charged with one count of possession of offensive weapon. he is one of three men arrested over the deaths. 37—year—old was released with no further action, while a 29—year—old has been bailed until next month. aaron mckenzie is due to appear in front of magistrates tomorrow. the chancellor philip hammond has said the uk will not be able to control key elements of a no deal brexit. speaking to bbc panorama, just days left before he's expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor says the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal

later this year. private business is an important player in this, and the eu 27 control many of the levers. for example, we can make sure that goods flow in through the port of dover without any friction. but we cannot control the outward flow into the port of calais. the french can dial that up or down, just the same as the spanish for years have dialled up or down the length of the queues at the border going into gibraltar. we cannot control what no—deal brexit would be like? we cannot, because many of the levers are held by others — the eu 27 or private businesses. we can seek to persuade them, but we cannot control it. philip hammond speaking to the bbc‘s panorama programme. you can watch the full programme, britain's brexit crisis on bbc1 this coming thursday, july 18, at 9pm.

meanwhile, the work and pensions secretary amber rudd says she's changed her position on a no—deal brexit. she had previously been opposed to the idea, but has told the andrew marr programme that the possibility had to be kept alive in order to succeed in the negotiations. i maintain my position that a no—deal brexit is bad for this country, and will be difficult to handle. to be fair, even brexiteers say that at the very least it will have adverse consequences. i am very clear that we need to be frank with the british people that no deal is not easy, it will be something that will challenge us, but if we have to do it, it has to be a backstop, by the end of october, but i know longer say that i will lie down in front of the bulldozers if it arrives. england's batsmen have been set a target of 2a2 for victory in the cricket world cup final at lords. new zealand ended their innings a short while ago, making 241 for eight in their fifty overs.

both teams are chasing their first ever world cup victory... let's talk tojohn watson who is at lord's for us with the latest. england chasing this target, how is it going? i think they will be relatively pleased that they are just the one wicket down, having moved past 50 a short while ago. johnny bairstow lucky to still be there, after he dropped the ball on 18. he hasn't signed ten more runs, he is on ten more runs now. alongsidejoe ritchie he is on ten more runs now. alongside joe ritchie is he is on ten more runs now. alongsidejoe ritchie is the... they have to chase down that total, 242. chasing is not something that england have managed all too well at times in his turn at. they failed to chase damages a fairly modest total against sri lanka in the group stages and then against sri lanka as

their loss. they did manage to chase and that total net —based australia in the semifinal. winning their first knockout match at a cricket world cup. it would be a historic moment if england can get over the line to lift the trophy for the first time. of course, they have had some the misses, three previous finals, they lost them all. the most recent back in 1992, 27 years ago. england is a much changed side since then. much more attacking, reshaped then. much more attacking, reshaped the way they play, let my focus and attention placed on white ball cricket. that is certainly been the main focus of their last four years and they were knocked out of the last world cup at the group stage. the main aim has been to win this tournament and here they are on the cusp of doing so if they can reach the target of 242 against new zealand. as you say, they had never w011 zealand. as you say, they had never won this turning that it. it will be a new name on the jewelry that year and 20,000 packed into lewis behind

me they will be hoping, suddenly the england contingent, that will be england contingent, that will be england this year. fingers crossed. thank you for the latest from lourdes. police have used batons and pepper spray against demonstrators in hong kong as thousands of pro—democracy campaigners took to the streets again today, as they try to keep up the momentum of recent mass protests. scuffles broke out between officers in riot gear and the anti—government protesters, who built barricades in the street. this evening, thousands remain on the streets and have been facing off against police. 0ur correspondent stephen mcdonell has been in hong kong this evening. riot police have come in from all sides and cleared most of the area which the protesters were in. this seems to be the pattern now, a large piece on march and then a, sort of, ha rd core piece on march and then a, sort of, hardcore group, if you like, the more radical element of the protest

movement taking it up to the authorities. now we have hundreds of riot police, they have been moving forward 100 metres as a time and pushing people back. from above, you will see, the police are looking up, because our project as coming down from the rest. people have been throwing bricks, in some cases there have been long bamboo poles used by protesters and again, if we just sing around behind me, you can see where the protesters have moved to. this is the last bulk of the protester to m istreat this is the last bulk of the protester to mistreat now in those yellow hats. they are heading in the opposite direction as the right place. facing overwhelming force from the police, they really had no choice. they cannot resist. this now is just choice. they cannot resist. this now isjust a normal choice. they cannot resist. this now is just a normal state of affairs in hong kong. this is not something that'll finish next weekend or in a hurry. this is the new normal, if you like, for hong kong. because this movement which started out as

opposing this very unpopular extradition bill has now morphed into something completely different. it requires this many police to try and stop. they want to defend hong kong's freedoms and they are calling now also for universal suffrage. 0f course, this is not something beijing will given in a hurry. yet, they had been emboldened, because effectively they defeated that a bill. they are now full of belief in the power of protest. given that beijing will not cave in, protests are now signed them and not cave in to anything less than one one—vote democracy. they have protest planned every weekend for the next month. this will just every weekend for the next month. this willjust go on and on and it is hard to see where tense. french police have detained more than 150 people, including two yellow vest leaders, during violent clashes in paris. they're accused of staging an unauthorised demonstration at the annual bastille day parade. protesters tried to occupy the boulevard in the city's centre

using metal barricades — with police firing tear gas in an attempt to disperse them. the demonstrators booed president emmanuel macron as he was driven down the champs elysees during the parade. five people have been arrested after a car was driven into a group of people in south—west london yesterday evening. police were called to reports of a fight following the incident in battersea. one man suffered a broken leg, and another suffered a head injury. a number of other people are said to have sustained minor injuries. the driver of the car fled the scene. police say the incident was not terror—related. as tensions rise between iran, the united states and its allies — the bbc has been given rare access to iran. iranians remain furious that donald trump pulled out of the nuclear deal last year and has imposed crushing sanctions on the country. 0ur correspondent martin patience, along with cameraman nik millard

and producer cara swift, have been in tehran and the holy city of qom, talking to iranians about the escalating crisis. while in country, recording access was controlled. as with all foreign media, the team was accompanied by a government representative at all times. it was four years ago today that the iran nuclear agreement was signed. here in iran there was a real sense of optimism, but that optimism has now evaporated. a year ago america pulled out of the nuclear agreement and reinforced sanctions on the country. the sanctions are really hurting. now we see soaring tensions between iran and the west. iran sees donald trump's decision as a complete and utter betrayal. donald trump says at the first agreement was too generous and gave iran a free hand to meddle in the middle east. iran has resumed in reaching new uranium to levels higher

than permitted under the agreement. it is threatening to carry out further work unless it gets sanctions relief. the sanctions mean that many iranians are struggling to get by, food prices here are going through the roof. iran stands accused of carrying out attacks on oil tankers in the gulf, something it denies. something it does not deny is that it shot down a us drone. last week another incident. britain seized an iranians oil tanker off the coast of gibraltar. iran was furious and a few days ago iranians vessels challenged a british commercial ship in the gulf. but what all of that shows is that a miscalculation from any side could lead to a serious confrontation. the headlines on bbc news... more leaked memos from britain's former ambassador to washington suggest president trump scrapped the iran nuclear deal to spite barack obama.

a man is charged with the murder of kelly mary fauvrelle — the 26—year—old who was 8 months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at home. a stand—off on the streets of hong kong between pro—democracy campaigners and police. scuffles have broken out for the second day in a row. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. it is all happening at the same moment and only foster will bring us up—to—date. it is a filled television kind of day. england's cricketers, let us start there. lost an early weekend, choosing to hundred 42 runs for world cup glory. new zealand won the toes and batted first in the final. henry nichols was the only want to pass 50 as

england's bowlers pegged them back. blackcap switching to hundred and 41 48. joe root has just followed him, this very moment he has gone for just seven. england 59 for two now. not going particularly well in what should be a gettable target. new zealand really pegging them back, that one could go to the wire. follow that across the bbc sport website. lewis hamilton has won a record—breaking six british grand pre—. —— a record six. a really clever pit stop, or a lucky one, whichever way you look and it, saw him take the lead from the thin who had come in for a change of tyres.

any excitement in the race came behind the mercedes pair, their status of a third saw ferrari's sebastian vettel pick up a ten second penalty for doing that. shunting into the back of the red bill. he went airborne. both did finish the race, but somewhere down the table. hamilton had been level withjim the table. hamilton had been level with jim clark for the british the table. hamilton had been level withjim clark for the british grand prix wins, but is now on his own. the seventh went from ten round so far this season and he has stretches lead any driver's standing to 39 points. my next? what i meant‘s final b have at wimbledon. it is level at the moment between the defending champion, four—time winner novak djokovic against the great roger federer, with eight titles to his name at the all england club. let us head right there. we had that first set tops it a tie—break and

then a walk in the park for federer in the second and now the third is going to do wire, as well. yes, it is everything we could have hoped for between these two. so far it is roger federer hejust for between these two. so far it is roger federer he just of the stronger of the two marginally. djokovic looking like he is struggling at times to meet roger federer‘s server. looking elizabeth under pressure in that first set did go to under pressure in that first set did gotoa under pressure in that first set did go to a tie—break. djokovic not serving particular well, though. that opening set. federer making too many unforced errors which did allow djokovic to eventually take three points ina djokovic to eventually take three points in a row in the tie—break and ta ke points in a row in the tie—break and take that first set. that was in total contrast, can i say, to the second set, when federer took full advantage to clinch the first break of serve in that match. another u nfollowed of serve in that match. another unfollowed immediately after antigua swept to take the set 6—1. i'm not sure djokovic you want it happened. some people thought he had maybe

lost a little bit of focus. ten u nforced lost a little bit of focus. ten unforced errors he enjoyed an upset. after that he took a short toilet break, came back for the third and we thought well, djokovic is back on philforce again. now, agutter started well once again in that third set. taking the first game, after that djokovic had not had one break point on federal‘s serve and now once again into a tie—break. the cou nty now once again into a tie—break. the county are once again for federer a firm favourite. they have had to close of the hill behind me because so close of the hill behind me because so many people are time to catch a glance of roger federer. and of course the defending champion here novak djokovic. the crowd certainly played their part by much on centre court at the minute unregistered federal‘s side. he of course bidding

for a ninth wimbledon title, he has pulled one back end that tie—break and novak djokovic leads in the tie—break for games to one. and novak djokovic leads in the tie-break for games to one. djokovic a couple of points up, a couple of brea ks a couple of points up, a couple of breaks up. looks like he will go to sets to one up in that final. that match over on bbc one. england's net bowlers had initially world cup elimination stage with a 100% record. they thrashed similar 19—24 in liverpool to finish top of their grip. the roses were leading by 32 goals at half—time. tracey neville's side progressed to the second stage of that progression which involves two groups of six now. then it any top two there, into the semifinals. scotla nd top two there, into the semifinals. scotland lost to uganda in the same group. but they go through as the third best team, trialled by eight

points at half—time. although they worked hard to stay in touch, they eventually went down 52—43. uganda guthrie in second. northern ireland are playing zimbabwe right now it is 27 all at half—time. you can keep on top of that match on bbc sport website. both teams will guthrie whatever the result. —— will go through whatever the result. quick update on the cricket, looks like it is 60 four to to england at the moment. this week marks 50 years since man first landed on the moon, and if it wasn't for a ground—breaking british invention, we may never have got there. a scientist at cambridge university developed the fuel cell which provided the electricity to power part of the apollo 11 space craft. here's our science correspondent richard westcott.

tucked away on board apollo 11, just behind neil armstrong is a small device without which president nixon said they would not have reached the moon. and here is one part of it. it does not look much. this is a classic example of an object that looks so simple on the outside, incredibly complex on the inside and actually change the course of history. it's an electrode from a bacon fuel cell. a prototype because the original was left in space. as we can see from the old manual, 30 of those discs combined into a cell that provided the electricity for apollo 11. it consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy. he makes it sound simple but the inventor cracked a huge scientific problem — to turn the theory of a fuel cell into a practical working device.

it seems to me that this is almost as revolutionary as the discovery of steam traction. would you agree? i would like to think so but remember, i am an enthusiast perhaps you should have that confirmed by someone else. professorjohn davidson knew tom bacon well. he was always very polite. he would ask you what your interests were and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell he was deeply interested. but if they did not, he switched off. but why was the fuel cell quite so good? and how does it work? new students in bacon's old cambridge department showed me. so this is where we do our blue peter. you are on television. looked down the lens and tell everybody what we have here. we have a small pot of soapy water here and a balloon filled with hydrogen gas.

what we will do is generate a layer of hydrogen bubbles on top of the water and then we will ignite it and you shall see a small—scale explosion. the cell used hydrogen and oxygen that were already on board apollo as rocket fuel. when combined, they create energy. which can generate electricity. even better, the only byproduct was water. which the crew drank. it is safer, lighter, it is smaller, quieter and, above all, more efficient. the bacon fuel cell. the small british invention that made the moon landings possible. now it's time for a look at the weather.

the weather has not been so bad the second half of the afternoon across much of the uk. just a couple of showers here and there. for the rest of the afternoon and into the evening hours it is a case of sunny spells. i think many of us are in for a beautiful sunset this evening. high pressure is over the uk right now. there are weather fronts and low pressure and lining themselves up low pressure and lining themselves up in the atlantic ready to come our way for but actually, the weather will not go downhill until later in the week. in fact, the south of the country is not expected to get any appreciable rainfall to the end of the week. in the short—term, this is what we have got across the country, for, five to six o'clock temperature still around 20 degrees mark. evening looking logically across the uk. 0vernight electors of that wind out of the northey is going to drive in some cloud. east anglia and the south—east and some other issue counties could be waking up to a pretty overcast monday morning.

monday itself a big sunny spells widely across the uk and again just the outside chance of showers. high pressure a cross the outside chance of showers. high pressure across the uk, but you can see that weather fronts very slowly edging in. still awaited a best buy neighbourhood, in fact, you can harness it and the forecast area. the winds swirling around, very little wind on monday across the uk and quite warm. low 20s across the south and in the lowlands of scotland. beautiful throughout the country. this is tuesday's whether map, that's front starting to edge in the high pressure clinging to central and southern parts of the uk. here at the weather is expected to remainfine, uk. here at the weather is expected to remain fine, but showers are gathering across ireland and northern ireland into parts of scotland, as well. warm, temperatures are expected to rise a little bit across england and wales as we head towards tuesday and wednesday. that is because ahead of these weather fronts the winds often change direction, they come in from

the south or south—west and skip up some of the warmth out of the new continent, out of france. temperatures on wednesday expected to rise widely into the mid—20s across southern and central parts of england. but, at least in time, the weather will turn in the west. you can see the clouds and the rain speak in. i buy.
