they are allowed in therefore before they are allowed in therefore before they have to called back to the cord and on the outer edge of the danger zone. it will be very controlled, i think, was the phrase used repeatedly, very managed to make sure they know who is in the area and they are in there for the minimum amount of time they need to do what they need to do, get emergency medication or rescue pets left behind. in the big evacuation that took place before when the dam plans. thank you very much indeed. as is or foster who is at the scene and was also listening to that news conference. —— laura foster. we know local people and all those people out of their homes have been spoken to by the police and emergency services tonight but it sounds as though they are certainly not going to get news that they want. they will not be sleeping in their homes anytime soon, that is how it seems to be. certainly not the news they

we re to be. certainly not the news they were hoping to receive. they were told by the emergency services what was happening in a residence meeting before the media. this press conference has just finished entering this despite all the work that emergency services have done over the last 26 hours or the structure is still very critical and there's still a risk to life. there being advised not to go back to whaley bridge. and emergency services are looking at ways in which they can let one member of family back in for a short period of time to gather essentials, pets, medication, that sort of thing. what was interesting was over the last 26 hours they managed to reduce the water levels on the dam by about half a metre. but what they said here is that they are hopeful of saving the dam but they still need to lower it by several metres. take that water level below the problem that water level below the problem that a on that spillway before the

engineers can be confident that whaley bridge would be safe return to. we are not sure what the weather will hold of the next few days, but eve ryo ne will hold of the next few days, but everyone is very hopeful that they will be able to go back to the town. but no one was making promises. there was a lot of talk about days but again, it depends on so many things. they have got to get these extra high—volume water pumps in. it is tricky given that the layout of the area around, in derbyshire these winding roads and in lanes, they will be working hard to do that. laura thank you so much. following from that news conference we are keeping you up—to—date threats evening here in bbc news as that emergency operation continues. and as the police said tonightjust in the last few minutes, theyjust do not know how long that is going to take. we will have coverage throughout the evening here on bbc news so do stay with us for all of

the latest updates, a full news bulletin coming up from 7pm of course. we would just pause now on bbc news and we will catch up with all the latest sports news. you're a sportsday. hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm holly hamilton. coming up onto nice programme burns on fire at the ashes. good work in edgbaston on day two. i am live at edgbaston on day two. i am live at edgbaston where the sell—out crowds enjoyed another enthralling day of test match cricket. and so far so good for the brits and the british open. charlie whole, bronte, and regina hall all in contention after the date you. and manchester united splash the cash with harry mcguire said to become the most expensive

defensemen. the first kick—off is nearly here is the football season returns for another ten months of replays, referees, and red cards. we look ahead at this weekend's action. hello and welcome to sportsday. so, day two of the first ashes test where worry burns went a long way at the top of the spot with that maiden century. they trail austria by 17 i’u ns century. they trail austria by 17 runs this evening and have a day of very good fortunes for england. adam wilde is at edgbaston for us. it is fairto wilde is at edgbaston for us. it is fair to say england had its fair share of luck today but rory burns and his century, look at nothing to do with that. he did get a bit of luck holly but it has been all about

rory burns today. the day for the most pa rt rory burns today. the day for the most part belonging to england as you say 267—4 at stumps. the umpires called just a few moments ago. perhaps the edge of your seat drama, the nerve jingling excitement perhaps the edge of your seat drama, the nervejingling excitement that we enjoyed on the opening day but none the less this has been an enthralling day of test cricket. we will talk more about rory burns in just a moment. but there was a few wobbles early on as you say. england got lucky a couple times. jason roy dismissed early on and at that point when he was stretching back to the pavilion having scored just ten, things were looking rather worrying. they were worried faces around this edgbaston crowd. but from then on, the day has belongs to england let me bring in my guess, england legend who is part of the test match special team. thank you forjoining us once special team. thank you forjoining us once again. after that wobble, joe rich came in and i think that must be why he moved up to the study

the ship. if you lose two early, there is a bit of panic that spreads in the dressing. you move your best player up to number three, jason roy got out earlier, joe roots came out and say the ship. it's his best eight and he should say they're all serious. 57 for him. a great partnership for rory burns. it's very much been his day. it was a terrific knock. we use to crash bang walk cricket at the moment. but the australians are down. they bulled beautifully and got on the outside edge on numerous occasions. but he just stuck to his guns, had a bit of trouble early on and got the ball to turn and bounce of a bit but stuck to his guns any ground him down. a good opening batsman ship. england had been looking for someone at the top of the order to do this for quite some while now since alastair cook retired. hopefully they might have found somebody. he made them

wait for a while because he seemed to be in the ‘90s for an attorney. they were at 99 for a long time and then there was possibly he would get long... the empire would for the replay. but he got himself there. —— the umpire. all of those balls being thrown at you versus... it's nice work which he can now work on an ashes 100. that's what it is all about. people sit down perhaps with about. people sit down perhaps with a beer. and reflect on a job really well done. i want to get a few thoughts on a few other incidents that occurred today. under certain with jo root that occurred today. under certain withjo root early on. can you swing through what happened because i'm not sure i can work out. he was called out, he hit the stump stop at what he had the top corner of the bell. the bell lifted up and settle back down in the groove. it has been

england's day. the austrians have bowled well and been a little bit unlucky but that is test cricket, you have to wear down the opposition. a little bit of luck but hopefully tomorrow we can come back and start building a substantial lead. —— the australians bulled well. given the state of the boers and the depleted bowling line—up, that we'd really important. —— given the state of the boulders. they can get themselves 100 on the kind of pitch. it is a flat, slow pitch. the australian boers will be tired. if england can bounce about and they could get a couple hundred ahead. —— australian boulders. a real good go withoutjimmy anderson. that will be england, so the mormons they can get in the bank, the for england. phil thank you very much. i let you enjoy things. getting into the weekend

there are a few showers forecast over the weekend but to take something saturday at an ashes test match is always very special. this grant by me will be rocking tomorrow especially if england managed to stay on top holly. adam i thought the fan club was there for you! well done edgbaston, thank you. now to the women pause a british open. we have reached the halfway point with plenty of british interests still. charlie whole and bronte leaving the charge just two shots behind the leader and joker is there. this had been billed as the summer there. this had been billed as the summer of women sports and here at weyburn another wonderful story is on fully. three english women right in the thick of it heading into the we can ever impress rounds here in buckinghamshire. now the performance of the day, that belongs to bronte law. a blemish free round when she held five birdies and saw her finish with a round of 67 leaving her on seven under par. that's the kind of

form that wins you majors and potentially a spot in a smalltime cut team. buckley for a walk, she has been playing with solheim cup captain. she says her mind has been solely focused on here. it's nice to play for the home crowd. you feel the support and i have my family out watching. i think that always helps. playing a major, it is a little different but i think that if i go out and i play the same way i have been playing and keep pushing up that we do board. she is such a mess the cup but someone who will be playing the next two days is charlie hull. she recovered with back—to—back bogeys. she's been a member here since she was nine yea rs. member here since she was nine years. meanwhile georgia hall was up and out early this morning. backed

up and out early this morning. backed up yesterday prospects on performance by carding a 69 for the second day in a row. she is now on 6—under and says she is loving playing in front of a british crowd. they are always behind you and i know that. they're always behind me. you make a hole or a three or four footer and they're always cheering and saying "come on georgia" and i think that really helps my confidence. thanks to jill curry there. thanks tojill curry there. we look at 12 under par. the south african meeting, and then the american all in the mix as well. let's have a look at some of the other story set the headlights say. french referee stephanie frappart will lead a team of mainly female officials who will take charge of the european super cup clash between liverpool and chelsea in istanbul later this month. frappart took charge of the women's world cup final between the united states and netherlands last month. this will be the first time that a female official has taken

charge of a major uefa men's competition event. glorious history today. a third successive victory in the five furlong sprint. and red bull's pierre was fastest in the second practise at the hungering grand prix. lewis hamilton was third faces as he tries to bounce back from last week's results. less tha n less than a week to go before the premier week transfer window closes and it is manchester united who are splashing the cash. set to break the word transfer record for a defender but their fee for weste r‘s record for a defender but their fee for wester‘s harry macguire. we think back to 12 months ago and united had shown interest in macguire back them but they said at that time the fee was too high and that time the fee was too high and that was less than this incredible figure now. what was the change?” think we saw with manchester united last season was that their need for a top class defender was so pressing that it was about time that they

finally push the boat out and went all the way to £80 million. it was talk that wester mack wanted even more than that so and that since united might feel that they got a steal. it's a big fee for a defender, still £5 million more than liverpool paid for virgil van dijk injanuary liverpool paid for virgil van dijk in january 2018 and many liverpool paid for virgil van dijk injanuary 2018 and many people will say that virgil van dijk now champions league winner is far superior to harry macguire. but we do know there is a premium for english talent, we know that macguire has starred in a world cup, united fans will be happy but many in the industry think this is astronomical money. it will be interesting to see how he settles in at old trafford as well. with six defenders already, do you think there will be a clear out at old trafford ? there will be a clear out at old trafford? if you look at their centre has, they have the likes of jones, and others. 0ne centre has, they have the likes of jones, and others. one is injured so he comes in at a good time. united

have a one of defenders on long and lucrative contracts so they may have to sit tight for a wire but macguire comes in with leadership qualities, he will be a first choice, united had now signed three british players this summer. they‘ re had now signed three british players this summer. they're still looking for a midfielder. in extreme we busy summer but it bodes well for manchester united going into the new permit week season. funny you mention that. this is what we will be talking about. a little excited that football season is back. the champ ship returns tonight actually and as lea ks champ ship returns tonight actually and as leaks go, the chip chip is the most unpredictable. leads will be pushing for promotion but tonight the focus is on promoted lujan and middlesbrough which will be his first game in charge. joe linsky has more.

jonathan woodgate was held back. a great through ramage was book ended at middlesbrough, the hometown club thatis at middlesbrough, the hometown club that is now his firstjob as manager. for him his second tier is no step down. since i was about 30 yea rs no step down. since i was about 30 years old, i've always wanted to manage a football club. i am privileged to manage this club. we have prepared properly. we have organised, and we can't wait for the start of the year. he starts tonight at luton town. they are the championship's new boys promoted twice in a row. but the facilities here do not tell the full story. a new stadium is due in two years and in grahamjones new stadium is due in two years and in graham jones they have a man who coached belgium at the world cup. a new manager to match their ambition. the potential is the premier week. when i cannot tell you about but if you have got a brand—new stadium into— three years' time, and a fan

base of 42,000 people, then you need to grow that. they start any division full of high energy and sleeping giants. last season leads lead the way that lost it all in the playoffs. beach in last by darby but then they lost in the final, and then they lost in the final, and then lost their manager. now frank lampard is gone, a new superstar is in charge. first opportunity for him and he takes it. he has won three titles ip sv. but this is different. he will be in charge across the midlands at brom. slavin —— he will hope to re—build the side that lost 46. jay rodriguez and dwight gail have gone elsewhere. that could leave fulham with that we's best record. despite their delegation, alexander mitchell fitch has stayed put. and they could be promotion

favourites. but the championship is football's unpredictable division congested with teams and fans who all want the top prize. the full suite and won't decide this but could show the bigger picture. and after the waiting comes the hope. joe linsky, bbc news. you will have to just a joe linsky, bbc news. you will have to - just a little longer. for the start of the premier league, but how's this to whet your appetite? this weekend the two top teams of last season, liverpool and manchester city face off in the community shield at wembley. it's often described as little more than friendly but these two teams may have a point to prove. ben croucher has more on this. yes holly. liverpool and manchester city were far and away the best two teams in england last season. that epic title race going down to the final day. they'll meet at wembley on sunday in the community shield. some players might have had the summer off but some

liverpool players might be a little more tired than most. the likes of mo salah and sadio mane have been playing in the africa cup of nations this summer. roberto firmino has been winning the copa america with brazil. the community shield represents the first piece of seven possible bits of silverware that liverpool can win this season. but traditionally the community shield hasn't ever been a big dealfor side. nobody told klopp as he takes liverpool into this game for the first time since 2006. it's a guinea pig and city. it's a good test against teams which are there. —— we have to make sure that we defend in a pretty good way because if you don't know well —— defend well against city, you could get a problem and that is not ideal. for city, how'd you build last season? they did the domestic treble. league, league cup and fa cup. champions league will probably be the top priority though for pep guardiola who is going to treat

this game seriously first. we won almost every trophy. that was quite remarkable. we have done not enough to have our players in the best place in europe but it is quite good. of course we know that we are much better than the first season. in the preseason they what you want to do, so it is easy for ourjob. whilst the players have had a rest — behind the scenes, many clubs have been busy. what have liverpool and city been up to. city broke their transfer record... highly rated dutch defender sepp van den berg. 0n the field

a bit of a contrast. liverpool's preseason admittedly hit by those players missing has seen them lose to dortmund, sevilla & napoli. city in asia have found their scoring boots. weaker opposition admittedly. raheem sterling scored four in four games. so city in form holly. if that can be a thing before the season starts. liverpool haven't won the league for 29 years. winning the community shield may not be the best omen though. it would make sense really to do well in the community shield suggests you might have a decent season. we've been crunching the numbers though and only twice in the last decade has the side that's won the community shield gone on to win the premier league in the same season. city did it last year. manchester united back in the 2010—11 season were the last side before that to achieve the feat. not always the best thing to win the

community shield. so if you're looking for history to help — may not be the worst thing to lose. speaking of history — city are going to wear a special kit on sunday. this one — handsomely modelling by david silva — has been chosen by fans to mark their 125th anniversary. a limited number of 1894 will be available — marking the year they were founded. thoughts holly? like the retro? always like a pic of vintage. and if you want to keep track, we have commentary y from 3pm. scottish champions celtic begin their bid to make it nine in a row in the premiership. can anyone stop them this season? they have risen from the norther week to week two injust over two in just over five years. if we had not gone up, it'd been a massive blow to me and the players, and the owners, and eve ryo ne and the players, and the owners, and everyone connecting. me on a personal level, it would've been up well because we all want to be successful and i want to come here

and prove that he was right and that bringing in was the correct thing. that is where i get my enjoyment from, my buzz is from repaying the faith shown in me. against this moment it is great for everyone. but we have a job to do on saturday, thatis we have a job to do on saturday, that is the most important thing for me and our players and staff is big and sure we will give ourselves a chance of winning. we don'tjust wa nt chance of winning. we don'tjust want to... we want to win. let's not forget the scottish permission which sta rts forget the scottish permission which starts again this weekend. scottish champions celtic begin their bid to make it nine in a row in the premiership. they had been doing things to combat bad behaviour matches. this recalls the last season... chris mclachlan has this excessive report. the pictures that illustrate the side of scottish abode that most people would like to forget. going throwing, small bombs, and offensive singing categorise as unacceptable conduct. and last season it was on

the rise. the police figures themselves tell a story. in season 2017-18, it themselves tell a story. in season 2017—18, it recalled offensive singing at 75 matches. last season that jumped to 84, singing at 75 matches. last season thatjumped to 84, a rise of 12%. but the big issue for them is a smoke bombs and flares. they were used in 42 games in the season before last. last year, thatjumped to 81 games and 93% increase. pirates and them suffer very dangerous. if we look at coin throwing, that is a crime. that is assault. if you throw a coin, then you would expect the police to investigate and arrest you for it. and as for offensive singing, offensive singing is exactly that. it offends people by its very nature and again it is criminal conduct. at the national stadium, the club ca pta i ns the national stadium, the club captains are going through the preseason photo shoot. they too want things to change. i think the clubs

have been highlighted a lot less season for the right reasons, it is not good enough. putting people upon site health and safety at risk. i'm hoping lassies and was just a site health and safety at risk. i'm hoping lassies and wasjust a one off. i'm sure it is being looked at. -- i'm off. i'm sure it is being looked at. —— i'm hoping last year was a one off. and it would appear that it is, i co nta cted off. and it would appear that it is, i contacted all 12 premiership clubs this week to try and find out what measures they have been taking and for example, most clubs say they have upgraded their cctv systems in a bid to identify unacceptable behaviour. in terms of general security, clubs like hibbs and hamilton will deploy sniffer dogs in a bid to try to detect small bombs and fireworks. and in terms of fan engagement, eight clubs say that they have spoken directly to fans

groups about unacceptable conduct ahead of the new season. rangers have recently announced a new initiative to promote inclusion and diversity. it appears there is a growing trend to watch tackling problems of the tax —— past and of the present. when asked to contribute, the weak body the spf l would not comment. they are working ona would not comment. they are working on a strategy alongside the scottish fa. change what happened overnight —— won't happen overnight but there are signs that those involved have had enough of the other side of scottish football. before we go dear member the five deeds of dodge ball? dodge, document dip, dive, and dodge. forget the movie because the sport has explode here since the uk —— here in the uk. since the world cup. nottingham sheriffs are campaigning for her doctoral to become an analytic sport.

it is very much women base. we have more women here that redo men. the perception of wonder at school and plane dodge and girls were saying they didn't want to play that, but they didn't want to play that, but the balls here actually cost balls. they don't stinger anything. it is worldwide now. just getting to that next level of being able to put in it in that bed and getting excepted and growing it across the continent. i think since the olympics where she got the gold medal. we started to get that gold rush. people refer to the film at first but it is socially a very competitive sport. to win it this year was such a great achievement. it started in high

school when i was only in year seven. i was 11 years old and i have played ever since. insane, absolutely insane. i never thought i would ever represent my country in anything so it wasjust would ever represent my country in anything so it was just a would ever represent my country in anything so it wasjust a complete honour. there are so many women in the sport. it will deftly keep going for the international success. we wa nt to for the international success. we want to win the super week next season. we can deftly achieve this with us being champions. —— the super league next with us being champions. —— the super league next season. with us being champions. —— the super league next season. we can d eftly super league next season. we can deftly achieve this with us being champions. —— the super weakness season. that's all from sportsday. much more. now it's time for the weather. hello again. we have seen fewer and wetter showers around the uk today. any sheriffs that have fallen from early on will be fading away this

evening. it will turn dry overnight tonight, some good spells around one or two misty low cloud patches towards the east. perhaps those temperatures, down to 12 or 14 degrees. many places on saturday should be dry. there will be sunshine at times. the sunshine could turn hazy from the south west as the cloud comes in. maybe some showers across western areas and across the northwest serving an and north wales later on in the day. before then these are the highest temperatures. like what we have had the past day or two. more rain around on sunday for northern and western parts of the uk. the showery rain arrives and later on in the afternoon for the evening that could turn heavy and thundery across scotla nd turn heavy and thundery across scotland in northern england. like we just stay dry across the south—east abingdon and east anglia. warm and humid temperatures of 27 celsius. —— southeast england.
