to win two individual world titles at the same championships after winning gold in the women's lead. that victory, comes after she won the bouldering event earlier in the week. in the men's event, there was another victory for the czech climber adam 0ndra. it's his third world lead title. now, he shocked the world with his victory over world heavyweight champion anthonyjoshua. but the mexican andy ruinr isn't conviced by the terms of their rematch, claiming nothing has been signed ahead of their december bout in saudi arabia. as our boxing reporter ade adedoyin explains. the background to all of this is the andy ruiz the background to all of this is the andy ruinr was not his mandatory challenger when he faced anthony josh with the first time. he was a late substitute for the fighter who was pulled out for banned substances. it was a voluntary

defence and in the situations it is not uncommon for promoters to put a recess 0 n not uncommon for promoters to put a recess on the contract. just in case a champion was his. there was a rematch because which andy ruiz assigned to. in that clause is there normally will be a guaranteed purse. and we also understand that the contract would have said thatjoshua potts i9 contract would have said thatjoshua potts 19 controls the promotions for the rematch and they would determine the rematch and they would determine the dates, venue, the time of the year, etc. ruiz would have signed that legally binding document tying him to this rematch. it puts him in a very difficult situation if he does not want to go through with that. do we read into that knowing how boxing is that this is about as much as ruiz can from this fight then, this posturing? this might well be ruiz trying to negotiate better terms for the rematch. now, we understand that rematch because guaranteed around about 9.5 million.

but where this about to take place in saudi arabia, we understand that the saudi promoters have put down a huge site fee. upwards of 50 millions, i have heard as much as 100 million. it's a potentially very blue route of day for anthony joshua, the big spate of his career. he could earn 40— $50 million. also 9.59 does not seem like a lot for the chapin who had such a big upset. this might be andy ruiz essentially trying to negotiate a better deal for himself. at the bottom line is there is a legally binding docket before the first fight which says you have to have a rematch if you win against anthonyjoshua. you will get paid this much but we determine the dates and venue. he will not be able to go out of that. as much as he is trying to negotiate a better situation, he is in a very tough position. i think ultimately he will have to go through with this or did his heels in, wait it out, and potentially get stripped of his title. we will see, ade thank you so

policy officer. he dressed her now. inevitable development, and our world or a concern? how should we be looking at this? i think it is concerning but not surprising concerning but not surprising concerning how we see police forces using this authoritarian technology for almost three years now. the fact there has been no political decision—making on this, politicians and mps have passed over dealing with this for that entire period. we have been calling on them to take serious action. we also call on the ico to take action on this over a year ago when we investigated the police's use of this technology. they happen look into it they said but so far we are yet to see any concrete action from them. do you think something like biometric data, because this is what they are collecting, would be something sanctioned at state level. how is it a private company is allowed to get away with this? it is massively

intrusive collecting people's for show by metrics is it seems collecting dna and fingerprint, it is being provided by private companies and the police at large. there has been a lack of political engagement for this. we have been ending —— calling for the end of the smallest technology because there is no legal basis. we believe it violates their rights and freedom of expression. ethnic minorities, people with mental health problems, even palooka protests, the fact that there is no law where it is com pletely there is no law where it is completely walker's, . .. —— there is no law where it is completely walker's,... -- how and why should we be worried? we should be worried that when both private companies and police are able to use this intrusive surveillance technology. we see how it can be used against ethnic minorities, people with mental health problems. we have seen innocent nervous of the public who have declined to be scanned by these cameras have been stocked by the police... how

you're watching beyond one hundred days. mr trump urges israel to bar two us muslim congresswomen and israel does what the president wants. the two women have been critical of israel, supporting a boycott of the country over its treatment of palestinians. but there's a lot of domestic politics in this with mr trump trying to paint the congresswomen as the face of the democratic party. israel did what mr trump wanted, china probably won't. the president urges xi jinping to meet the hong kong protestors in person. not much sign that will happen. also on the programme. the latest twist in the row over the seized iranian supertanker — gibraltar orders the immediate release of grace 1 despite a us request not to do so. and missionjurassic — we meet the men and women taking
