10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. a thrilling end to the cricket world cup as england defeat new zealand to become world champions for the first time. jubilant england fans watched the game in trafalgar square — and around the country. after more than five hours on court, novak djokovic beats roger federer to retain his wimbledon men's singles title. more leaked memos from britain's former ambassador to washington suggest president trump scrapped the iran nuclear deal to spite barack obama.
10:31 pm
a man is charged with the murder of kelly mary fauvrelle — the 26—year—old who was eight months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at home. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are martin lipton, chief sports reporter at the sun, and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot banking group. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. and it's a picture of england winning the cricket world cup which dominates the front pages of most of the newspapers. the financial times also leads on carrie lam offering to resign after weeks of protests in hong kong. and of course it's another picture of the triumphant england cricket team on the front of the independent. they're leading on their investigation into immigration services which are being outsourced.
10:32 pm
the times leads on borisjohnson suggesting he wants the uk to rebuild a relationship with the us in the hope of a prospective trade deal. out of this world says the express, with england's winning cricket team, looking at the millions of elderly people being looked after by carers with no formal training. we will start, where else, with the sport. cricket. a beautiful picture of the men in blue. world champions euphoria as england win the most soaring much in cricket history. it was truly remarkable, one of the most six incredible sporting events and i have been very fortunate that i have been to a lot of great events. i have never seen england win a world championship for anything and i have now. all those years of seeing failure washed away in one instant and what an instant. it was the
10:33 pm
thinnest of margins. one bulb to win. two ones to win for new zealand. they came back for the second, a couple of feet short. wicket is broken. the england players knew they had won but no one else knew for certain until they played the reply on the big screen to show that guptill was out. it was fantastic. a brilliant event. the world cup final in the great setting of lords and a fantastic match. world cup final in the great setting of lords and a fantastic matchm is martin's lucky day. i saw the la st is martin's lucky day. i saw the last ten minutes and it was incredibly exciting. i suspect it is probably easy to see what was going oi'i probably easy to see what was going on on probably easy to see what was going on on the television than in the ground because it was quite obvious he was run out. i have been watching quite a lot of the cricket of the la st quite a lot of the cricket of the last few days, weeks. i think it is channel for if i am allowed to say that. we don't censor. i am terribly
10:34 pm
careful when you are on duty. the reply of the action highlights takes place about half past 12 at night andl place about half past 12 at night and i find the cricket absolutely fascinating and i wish it was on terrestrial television and we could have seen it at the more comely hour. do you follow cricket ordinarily? not really, i prefer horse racing because they have four legs as opposed to two, double your money. if you went. i never win. it was an extraordinary spectacle and a weekend of amazing sport because we also had hamilton winning the silverstone grand prix and here we have on the daily telegraph, novak djokovic winning the men's singles title, retaining the title. after five hours on centre court, an incredible battle, 13—12 of the last
10:35 pm
set tie—break, first time that has happened at wimbledon because previously just buy it happened at wimbledon because previouslyjust buy it out to finish. 13—12. federerwins previouslyjust buy it out to finish. 13—12. federer wins more games in the and loses the match. more aces as well. he did everything except when the critical points but thatis except when the critical points but that is what happened. i have been lucky, i spent most of the last ten days wimbledon watching djokovic in particular and he is such a relentless tennis player. i don't think he has the same beauty and grace and elegance that federer brings to the table but for sheer relentless precision he is truly remarkable and outstanding and a fantastic player. he deserves all the credit and he keeps coming back for more and we are in a very lucky area in the men's game. unlucky if you are playing. is a fan to be able to watch federer, djokovic, mcdowell and when he was at his peak murray at the same time and... -- nadal. do
10:36 pm
you enjoy your job? at the same time and... -- nadal. do you enjoy yourjob? occasionally! and i have turned graphic wimbledon. i thought it would never end. i think it got to the third or fourth game in the fifth set and i've went and fed the cats. let's talk about something you might like to wax lyrical about in the times. johnson to seek trump deal in first move as pm. front runner plans us trip to repair the relationship after all the to and fro of the comments made by the former ambassador. sir kim darroch. indeed because under the plans borisjohnson's darroch. indeed because under the plans boris johnson's team darroch. indeed because under the plans borisjohnson's team is hoping to strike a deal in one area of goods and i am fascinating to note the area that this will be, is it chicken by any chance, chlorinated chicken? i don't know. the idea is to have some sort of deal up and
10:37 pm
running by the 31st of october which is of course is do or die brexit die as faras is of course is do or die brexit die as far as borisjohnson is concerned and they also hope to have the outline of a fully fledged heel is ready well. trump has gone on and on about having a beautiful trade deal with the uk and she criticised theresa may because she didn't seem enthusiastic but i think boris johnson will really push ahead with this now but let's be clear about this, america plays hardball. they are not going to do anything that doesn't benefit them as well as benefiting us. i think this is a very positive step. that was a concern, if there was, is a new deal exit, the vulnerability potentially ofa nhs... exit, the vulnerability potentially of a nhs... opening exit, the vulnerability potentially ofa nhs... opening up to exit, the vulnerability potentially of a nhs... opening up to contacts with the american company. a concern by many people, interesting that hunt made it clear he wouldn't allow that to happen, johnson to a degree is pushing... no-deal? they wouldn't
10:38 pm
allow the nhs, the thing is we have to do allow the nhs, the thing is we have todoa allow the nhs, the thing is we have to do a deal very quickly with the us because otherwise in a post brexit whatever the situation is, we have to be able to prove we can go ahead and complete these deals really swiftly, that we can move on. there is already our biggest trading partner, the states, the current deal is in eu context. i think this is politically rather than economically important. it is symbolic. isn't boris johnson saying this going to add to the criticisms that he didn't stand by the ambassador? i think that is for borisjohnson to decide. ambassador? i think that is for boris johnson to decide. i ambassador? i think that is for borisjohnson to decide. i must say i was thus enthusiastic about sir kim's marched in several other people because i thought his comments were rather platitudinous that i may say so. a bit
10:39 pm
undiplomatic stop what they weren't meant for general consumption, he wasjust doing hisjob. i was a civil servant, you write things down and things get clicked. very outspoken. very well behaved civil service. i didn't last forever. outspoken. very well behaved civil service. i didn't last foreverlj outspoken. very well behaved civil service. i didn't last forever. i am glad you're here now and you can speak your mind. hunt watches big to save iran nuclear deal. there have been so many tensions with iran over what has been happening in the arabian gulf. we have a situation where the americans unilaterally turn up the agreement from their hide has not helped matters. we have had these issues this week in threats and all sorts of ongoing events. iran is a very difficult
10:40 pm
beast to control but i think you need to have some sort of lasso around them to keep them under control and bind them in to some degree of international consensus and obviously jeremy degree of international consensus and obviouslyjeremy hunt believes that as well. to be fair to president rouhani he was saying they we re president rouhani he was saying they were appealing to france to say try and salvage the steel.|j were appealing to france to say try and salvage the steel. i think so. it is not a perfect deal, of course not but i still regret that trump pulled out of it. i agree with martin. however in perfect the lines of munication are to keep them going it is better, i suspect in a way iran has already decided it has had enough of this deal because according to the international atomic energy agency iran was abiding by the terms of the agreement up to the beginning of this year and the middle of the spring but it is not decided it is not going to abeid by the terms already so it looks to me as though it is below the water line but i
10:41 pm
think it is important to keep lines good education open. what is ironic that trump as he is doing that with kim in north korea and president in china but not with iran which is a difficult aggressive and hostile hostile country. in the ft, amber rudd accused the brexit hypocrisy. she didn't want to contemplate no—deal and said she would stand on the way and now she is saying well... she is a pragmatic lady. when the word changes i change my mind. when the facts change i change my mind. the situation is changing. she can see now that borisjohnson is going to become the prime minister barring a terrific accident. she wants to stay in the cabinet? she would like to stay in the cupboard. i know some brexiters think it has to be an all brexit
10:42 pm
cabinet and people are talking about this and i am less purest about these things and i think it would be a good 88 to have someone of amber rudd's experience. if you don't have a broad church within any party it will cause problems because then you are emboldening your internal opponents because i have nothing to lose. do you remember lbj, the comment about the tent, but i realise it is a family programme. we are beyond the watershed. yet —— chaps being outside the tent and inside the tent. i think she is better in the inside. keep your friends close and your enemies closer is certainly the case. she has spent stand down and seems to be popular within the tory party and it would make a great deal of sense for johnson to have at least some of that remainer when within his government. carry on is offering to quit as hong kong leader but are being turned down by beijing, not so
10:43 pm
fast they are saying. stick it out. i think when the chinese government tell you to do something you don't have a lot of option. according to the story and the ft beijing has insisted carrie lunn has to say to fix the next she has created. there has been a lot of concern about the chinese blaming the west for fomenting unrest. maybe with a bit of something in the background, we probably have been trying to push for democracy because we should be. we shouldn't be will, completely. people saying the privileges and differences that hong kong is supposed to enjoy being eroded. differences that hong kong is supposed to enjoy being erodedlj differences that hong kong is supposed to enjoy being eroded. i am sure that is right. i think her problems started when she brought this extradition bill in which was about getting suspects criminals exploiting them to mainland china. i wonder if the price of her being
10:44 pm
obliged to stay is that the extradition bill comes back in. if thatis extradition bill comes back in. if that is the case and i don't know, i suspect more protests in hong kong. she offered to drop it at one point. she offered to drop it at one point. she did but i don't know. i think the tragedy of both hong kong and macau is eventually mainland china will encroach and encroach onto their individuality which is a bit ofa their individuality which is a bit of a tragedy for hong kong. that is it to the papers this hour but martin and ruth will be back again at half past 11. don't go away. you can see different pictures in the paper online. you can watch it later on iplayer. next on bbc news, click.
10:45 pm
we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. so said presidentjohn f kennedy in 1962. on july the 16th, 1969, three astronauts, neil armstrong, edwin "buzz" aldrin, and michael collins, made ready to fulfil that promise as they prepared for apollo 11. the first crewed mission to land on the moon. three men to represent the culmination of a dream. here at nasa in houston, texas, mission control monitored every aspect of the moon shot.
10:46 pm
these days it's used to monitor the international space station, the actual control room used for the apollo 11 mission is undergoing a bit of a refurb in honour of the 50th anniversary. marcos flores is one of the current mission controllers for the iss. there was no guarantee that apollo 11 was going to be successful. i mean, it was really cutting edge, dangerous stuff, wasn't it? yeah, definitely. there was a lot of risk involved in the missions themselves and how dangerous they were, but also a lot of unknowns in terms of being able to successfully land on the moon. the 36—storey tall saturn v moves out of its huge assembly building and heads for the launchpad. to build the launch vehicle, nasa contracted boeing, north american aviation, the douglas aircraft company, and ibm to help build a rocket that would end up being the biggest and most powerful ever built.
10:47 pm
call that a rocket? this is a rocket. inside here is the saturn v rocket. stage 1 gets you off the launchpad and up to a speed of 6000 mph. two and a half minutes later all of this fuel is burnt. you don't want to carry an empty casing into space so you ditch it to save on weight. then five rocket engines in stage 2 ignite and send you into the upper atmosphere. at 115 miles up all that fuel is gone, too. you ditch the second stage. and this rocket on stage 3 fires
10:48 pm
you around the earth and into orbit. then it powers down and, a little while later, it restarts. this time it sends you to the moon. so here's the thing. that bit there. that's where the people sit. all the rest of it is fuel. laughter. while the rocket was incredibly powerful, so, at the time, was the computing power required for the apollo programme. even though in popular culture the computers of the day, which in this case were giant mainframes, are often compared unfavourably to contemporary technology. the 360 75 that we used was a 1 mip machine —
10:49 pm
one million instructions per second. and it had 1 meg of real memory ori million bytes of real memory and 4 million bytes of auxiliary memory. the numbers you hearfor the iphone that i own are anywhere from 10,000 times as fast as that to even a million to maybe even — i think i've seen one that was 100 million times as fast. homer programmes the actual code used for the descent and ascent of the lunar landing module. and onjuly the 20th 1969 it kicked in, as neil armstrong piloted the lunar lander onto the moon's surface. we've had shut down.
10:50 pm
the eagle has landed. at 0239 hours armstrong exited the landing module and uttered the immortal phrase. that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. now, as any good tourist knows, photos are a must. armstrong and aldrin also left a plaque and a flag. and took a phone call from president richard nixon. hello, neil and buzz, i'm talking to you by telephone from the oval room at the white house. and this certainly has to be the most historic phone call ever made. and what did we learn from the apollo missions that we still use today? we are leveraging a lot of the experience that we gained with the vehicles themselves in terms of the rocket design, the capsule design, and what it takes for us to safely, you know, send that body up to space
10:51 pm
and bring it back down. a recent poll suggests that one in six britons believe the moon landing was staged. in the age of the internet, conspiracy theories run rampant, and claiming the moon landings were a hoax is at the head of the pack. companies like nvidia have tried to use technology to prove the moon landings did happen. they built a 3d render using a powerful graphics processing unit, which realistically represents how light behaves on the moon, debunking popular conspiracy theory about the lighting in the moon landing images being wrong. well, we decided to do some digging on our own and examine the evidence that proves, yes, human beings have landed on the moon. jonathan swift, the famous novelist, satirist —
10:52 pm
"reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion by which reasoning he never acquired." if someone has an unreasonable opinion about something, based on nonsense, it doesn't matter how much reasoning you do with them, you're never going to reason them out of it, because reason didn't get them there to begin with. there are the famous ones, that you know, the fact that they didn't actually go to the moon, actually launched the rocket and orbited the earth, for a few times, pretended they went to the moon, and came home. oh, radiation, that's the other one. there is no way they could have gone through the deadly van allen belt that surrounds planet earth. there's the anomalies with the photographs, all of which are ridiculous. stanley kubrick directed it in a film set in area 51, somewhere in the desert. the technology to fake the moon landings did not exist in 1969. the technology did exist to get to the moon in 1969 — just.
10:53 pm
radio: three feet down, 2.5, picking up some dust. big shadow, it's different but it's very pretty out here. the lunar surface cameras were based on our 500 el systems. we had many modifications. the viewfinders, and the mirror system, all of this was removed to save weight, which then locked into a chest bracket on the astronauts suit. and it was literally moving their body, tilting their body, to frame up the images. you can't see any stars because the contrast range of the surface images is too high. if it's a bright day and you stand outside a house and open the door to the house and look in, you can't see any of the detail because it's too bright where you are. so this is as close as a modern equivalent as we would have. it has a 100 megapixel sensor. if we took it to the surface today would not be able to capture stars and lunar surface detail in the same image. radio: oh gee, that's great. is the lighting here decent?
10:54 pm
one of the issues of doing it in a studio is the dust on the moon. and when there is no atmosphere, dust behaves differently to when there atmosphere. so now you would have to have a studio that you evacuated and had a vacuum in. the lunar mission comes as a climax of the space race that the united states and soviet union have been competing in since the mid— 19505 for technological and scientific supremacy. the soviets possessed advanced tracking capabilities of their own, and have used them to track icbm missiles as well as spaceflight. so their inability to detect a conspiracy of this nature seems unlikely. moreover, they would have had every incentive to expose this in order to score a major propaganda victory. apollo engineers were very well aware of the van allen belt. a, it wasn't in them for very long, and b, it charted a course actually where the van allen belt it is quite weak anyway. you would think that having moon
10:55 pm
rocks on the earth would be living proof that the conspiracy theories can be debunked. those rocks are still being studied today. some of them are sealed up, never yet been touched, because the scientists, even back in the '605 in the 705, knew that technology would get better with time and they would be able to make new scientific discoveries. we have, left by the apollo astronauts on the moon, retro reflectors, these are passive experiments, where, a bit like cat's eyes, we can fire a laser at them. bounce lasers from the earth to the moon to understand the changing behaviours of the moon and its orbit. it is sadly not enough for the deniers, they will always see conspiracy. while conspiracies have been around for decades, they certainly have a new lease on life in the age of the internet. things like facebook groups, let all these disparate ideas where people come together and find each other in a way we have never had before. so the romans had conspiracy theories, theyjust didn't have the internet.
10:56 pm
now we still have conspiracy theories, because we are humans and our brains are fallible, and we have the internet, it's a perfect storm. that is it for the short cut of click. there's loads more brilliant space stuff in the full—length version. that is waiting for you on iplayer. and next week we will be back to look even further into space. thanks for watching. and we will see you soon. hello, we start this forecast with some warmth and sunshine for many, we will end it with some rain. more on that in a moment. back to the here and now, high pressure across the uk. that will bring a mainly dry
10:57 pm
and quiet night, mixed spells, variable amounts of cloud but we could see some low cloud feeding in to parts of northern scotland and eastern england. that will bring some mystical murky conditions in places. maybe patchy drizzle as well but for most it is a largely dry night. temperatures between 9—13dc, as low as 7—8dc. we start the week with some warmth and sunshine, and it stays dry. gradually turning wet and windy as the week wears on. on monday, high pressure. centred across the uk and four are now keeping these atlantic front at bay. good deal of sunshine to start the day, particularly the further west you are. more cloud across east anglia and south—east england, quite stubborn to go, maybe not until the afternoon we see a few bright or sunny spells coming through. elsewhere, after a sunny start, the cloud tends to build. a dry day, pleasantly warm, 20—2lidc for most. cooler for some
10:58 pm
on the eastern coast. on tuesday, a weakening front to deal with. that will be across northern ireland and scotland, pushing drizzle, showery outbreaks of rain across northern ireland and into scotland. one or two showers across northern england, north wales but for much of england and wales, it is a dry, warm day. good spells of sunshine through the morning, fairweather cloud in the afternoon, temperatures between 20—25dc but more like high teens, low 20s for scotland and northern ireland. for the middle part of the week, we got this more active front arriving and from the atlantic which will bring persistent rain across northern ireland and eventually into scotland, some windier conditions starting to pick up as well bother england and wales, holding onto some warmth and light winds so another fine day across england and wales, some strong sunshine, light winds. northern ireland and scotland, rain pushing its way eastward through wednesday. the winds will be strengthening as well, holding onto these light winds
