overall and missed out on a medal. speaking to clare balding, dujardin admitted it was one of the most difficult days of her career. i would never intentionally want to do that to any of my horses. the welfare of my horses are so important. they are my dancing partners. they are there to dance with me. it is not through force. i would hate for anyone to ever think that that is the case. it was just one of those very unlucky moments and it happened and i had to deal with it. that interview is available on the website. he is aiming to become the first athlete in the modern era to compete at three olympics in three completely different sports, but tonga's pita taufatofua has had a bit of a nightmare start to his canoe sprint debut. the olympian, who's competed in taekwondo at rio and cross country skiing at pyeongchang, struggled to keep his canoe facing in the right direction even before the race had begun,

a man who filmed a cardboard model of grenfell tower being burned has been found not guilty of two counts of posting grossly offensive material. 46—year—old paul bussetti from south east london said he never intended for the video to be shared online. katharine carpenter is outside westminster magistrate's court now. this video was widely circulated online and in the media. it shows a cardboard effigy of nike one with people painted onto the side of it. being thrown onto a bonfire as a group of friends dance around laughing and joking. of the relatives of those who died said she found this video vial. the prosecution claimed that paul bussetti filmed this and then posted
6:54 pm
it to two whatsapp groups because he and his friends had a history of exchanging racist messages. he thought they would find it funny. paul bussetti's legal team say that was not the case and the characters painted on the side of the cardboard box were never meant to represent the victims of grenfell tower. that they were caricatures of paul bussetti and his friends, that this was a joke between them. the defence barrister said the joke was on then, it was self—deprecating. just as the judge was about to retire to consider her verdict on the prosecution said in actual fact there was important evidence which hadn't been disclosed. it turns out that another man had also found to be effigy of nike one that night and he had also posted it to the whatsapp group. the judge said that meant she could not be sure that the video at the heart of this case was the one filmed by mike too.

acquitting him, she said that she would now be seeking a full explanation from the police and the cps. she said she found the disclosure situation are polling and she thanked the prosecutor for averting a potential miscarriage of justice. while this was happening paul bussetti's friends and supporters were in tears and hugging each other as he left the dock. researchers have developed a new microscope that can take pictures of living organisms in unprecedented detail. they can now see processes inside the body that were previously invisible — including how the flu virus infects us and how blood cells detect cuts and begin the clotting process. our science correspondent, pallab ghosh, reports. these cells are the building blocks of human life. it's where all our body's basic processes occur and it's here that raging war is against diseases are fought. the researchers here have developed a way of taking
6:56 pm
pictures of these processes. this gigantic two tonne microscope is transforming our understanding of living processes. it takes something so big to see the tiny atom—sized cogs and wheels inside us in action. here they are, freezing a flu virus and putting it into the microscope. thousands of images are taken from different angles, to build up this picture. it's the spikes around the viruses that haven't been seen before. these are the bits that puncture the body's cells in order to infect them with flu. a close up helps researchers here target the vulnerable parts of the virus. it's certainly a huge step forward, in being able to really see what's going on within the structures. before, you had to either cut them into slices, orjust see the outside of. now, we can see the whole object. we use x—rays to study the structure of a molecule...
6:57 pm
until recently, we relied on a technique developed 100 years ago and used throughout the 20th century to get pictures of biological molecules. it involved blasting them with x—rays. the new method enables researchers to see what these important molecules actually do in the body. this is the inside of a blood vessel and the long worm—like structures burst open when we bleed. it has been described as a resolution revolution and i think it's clear now that turning this technique on almost any biological problem is providing new information. researchers have now got a view of biology in action that they've never had before. pallab ghosh, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather. today has been a day of contrast
