campaign in his native senegal in 2012 in exchange for slowing down the sanctioning process involved with russian athletes who had been cheating. that is why he is been found guilty alongside his son, and he was given a five—year sentence. although he is in senegal, he fled there after the french investigation began in 2015 and he has stayed there, refusing to leave and all requests recognition for him have been refused. for of them also found guilty and have been givenjail terms. we're up to stage 17 of the tour de france, and primoz roglic has come through his hardest test so far, extending his lead over tadej pogacar to 57 seconds. drew savage watched the action on the steepest stage of the race. friends, but also rival. the tooth of had soared away from everyone so far but today they had to climb higher than ever.

richard carapaz did his best to raise the spirits of the ineos grenadiers as he broke away. the british team have struggled and leader egan bernal pulled out this morning. carapaz was only caught in the closing stages. adam yates, still hunting for a stage win, was up there but couldn't quite match the leaders. he's still fifth overall. everyone expected pogacar to fight it out with roglic for the yellowjersey on the steepest climb of the whole race, but there was an unexpected extra dimension. the colombian, miguel angel lopez, fourth this morning, got away from them. a brilliant stage win to move up to third place. but he ran out of road to catch them in the overall standings. roglic in yellow, disappearing out of pogacar‘s sight as he rode to the line. that may be as close as anyone gets.

and the giro vosa came down to the final seconds. marianne voss took her 18th stage win at this race and her 18th stage win at this race and her third this year. she leads by nearly two minutes with three stages to go. that's all from sportsday. we'll have more throughout the evening. take care, see you soon. the home secretary, priti patel, has insisted the police are engaging with the local community and focusing on non—compliance over the rule of six. priti patel was speaking during a visit to kensington in west london, where she met local police officers. she was asked how we can avoid becoming a "stasi—style" informant state following criticism. first of all, if i may, i would disagree with that.

because listening to officers, and don't forget i speak to police officers and police leaders every single day of the week, they've been working with us on the guidance with us on the guidance and they actually asked us to simplify the rules as well. so we've been working with them for the guidance being issued today. sorry, the guidance being issued earlier on this week. alongside that as well, the fact of the matter is the police as i've heard today, they are working with local authorities, other bodies around enforcement on noncompliance. so that can be notjust individuals, but obviously premises, noncompliant places of work and businesses. so, it's important that we focus on the non—compliance. and this is notjust about haranguing individuals at all. this is, as policing has shown throughout coronavirus, focused on the for es of engaging, encouraging, explaining and actually reminding the public that we are in a health pandemic right now.

we are definitely not out of the woods when you look at the increases in coronavirus. it is quite clear that this is spreading. so, we are reminding people to take precautions, be sensible, continue to keep your distance, wash hands, face, space, all those kinds of basic messages and policing has been to the forefront of this for the last five months. so they have been doing a heroicjob on this. dominic raab has been meeting his us counterpart, the secretary of state, mike pompeo in washington. part of their discussions covered prospects for a trade deal with the united states after brexit, and mr raab described the oppotunity as a win win for both nations. this comes after four senior us congressmen warned borisjohnson that a uk—us trade deal would be blocked if there were any risk to the good friday agreement. speaking at a joint news conference, mr pompeo said he has optimistic that the uk would get brexit right, and mr raab said the uk was firmly committed to the good friday agreement. we trust the united kingdom.

i am confident they will get it right. we have made clear our view of the importance of the good friday agreement. we know the complexity of the situation. we have done what we can to provide assistance where we can. in the end, this will be a set of decisions with respect to what the united kingdom makes, i have great confidence they will get this right in a way that treats everyone fairly and gets a good outcome for what the people of the uk voted for now several years back. thanks. and i look at it from the uk's point of view, i've had very positive discussions notjust with mike in the administration, but also with congressmen and women from both sides of the political aisle if i can put it that way. and will continue to discuss it with nancy pelosi later. i think it's a great opportunity for me to be clear that the threat to the good friday agreement as it's reflected in the northern ireland protocol has come from the eu's politicisation of the issue. and to be clear on how that has happened and why that's

happened. our commitment to the good friday agreement and to avoid any extra infrastructure at the border between the north and the south is absolute. we have made that and i've had conversations well before the issue of the internal market bill has come up on the hill with senate and house leaders and figures. and just to be absolutely clear, and i think this comes across from the further safeguards the been prepared in relation to the bill, the uk action here is defensive in relation to what the eu is doing. it is precautionary. we have not done any of this yet. and it is proportionate. but we cannot have is, this is contrary to the northern ireland protocol and of course a risk to the good friday agreement, what we cannot have is the eu seeking to erect a regulatory border down the irish sea between northern ireland and britain. and i have had really good conversations, and i think it's helpful to be able to explain that point of view. dominic raab was also speaking about the possibilites of a uk—us of a uk—us trade deal, which he said he was

confident of achieving. we discussed progress on a free—trade agreement negotiation since we last met, and the importance of a clean, resilient economic recovery from covid—19. like mike, we are willing on the negotiators and i think there is huge opportunity for a win—windeal. and we are confident that we can get that. from booking taxis to online banking, there's an app for everything, but how about one for booking an imam? imamconnect claims to be the world's first online platform for muslim services. spanning four continents, it directly connects imams from both sunni and shia sects to muslims without the need to use a mosque. nalini sivathasan has more. after months of lockdown, religious bases like mosques have been welcoming back followers.

but with strict social distancing measures in place, it has not been easy. 25—year—old zakir needed grief counselling after her child died. i go to mosque regularly, but again if i had contacted them and said i need help with this service, it would have been kind of like a waiting game. she used imamconnect and found this imam. he is one of the nearly 80 imams and muslim scholars from around the world who are vetted and put on the platform, offering services from islamic prayer, officiating weddings to koran classes in person or online. users can then rate them. with imam rating, we booked instantly, no waiting. nearly half of the uk's 2.7 million muslims are under the age of 2a, but even before lockdown, fewer of them were going to the mosque

or masjid regularly. with religious leaders grappling with how to engage young muslims with the faith, imamconnect sees the future of islam online, even if it could mean cutting out the mosque. i think mosques are often run by an earlier generation of people and unable to outreach effectively. some mosques have issues with governance that put people off. with our busy kind of consumer lifestyles, also i think people are just drifting out, theyjust don't have the time to go to the mosque regularly, but they still want to feel a connection to their religion. for some, the key to keeping young muslims engaged with their faith is not by cutting out the mosque or bypassing it, it's about updating it for the next generation. as you can see behind me, we have our project rebuild. this 29—year—old is from a mosque in east london and is involved in its £12 million renovation project.

so, in the new building, we'll have a gym, we will have a cafe, we will have a library, we will have an entire hall. you see, in islam, we have this notion where you should be connected to the masjid, where everything is connected to the internet, that is an issue. spirituality is definitely lacking in that. while he may not be convinced by the power of the internet, increasing competition online means mosques may have to work harder to stay relevant to young muslims. nalini sivathasan, bbc news. the heat of the last few days has well and truly gone now. the biggest drop in temperatures was across northern parts of the uk today. tomorrow, it's going to be pleasantly warm across the uk, but best of all, light winds and lots of sunshine on the way. really a fabulous day on the way. this is what it looks like on the weather map, high pressure centred across scotland, and this cool front here is responsible for bringing

pressure conditions from the north. you can see where the winds blowing from, from straight out of norway there across the north sea, and you can see the cool front here moving across denmark and just grazing the east coast of england, so it has been a little more cloudy here. and hence, those temperatures have been quite a bit lower, too. in the south, still pretty warm, the evening's been fairly warm and the night's going to stay fairly mild as well, particularly across the south and the south west of the uk. here, despite clear spells, temperatures will probably hold around the mid—teens. so, early on thursday morning, i suspect around 15, 16 degrees, for example, plymouth and also the channel islands. to the north east, it's going to be quite a bit fresher. in the highlands, around single figures, and the north east of england as well. so, tomorrow morning might start off cloudy in one or two places, but the sun will be out. it really is going to be a beautiful day right across the uk, with the exception of the extreme northwest here. maybe a bit more cloud, but i think from the lowlands

of scotland, through lancashire, the midlands, down towards the south coast of england, it's mostly sunny skies and temperatures around normal for the time of the year. here's friday's forecast. again, much of the same, a lot of fine weather across the uk, but the breeze is going to be picking upjust a bit across the south of the country. in fact, it might take the edge of the temperatures closer to the north sea coasts, and that's because low—pressure is forming just to the south of us, around the bay of biscay. high pressure still in charge of the weather across the bulk of the country, but notice there is a weather front hugging the south coast of england and there's just the possibility of some showers. now, the blue here indicates showers and showers can be very hit—and—miss, so the chances are, for any one location in the south, pretty low to catch a shower, so that's why we've got predominately dry weather here in our forecast. but overall, i'm sure you'll agree, it's not looking bad at all for most of us.

hello, i'm ros atkins. welcome to today's outside source. and if you're a sports fan, the lead story is to sting. lamine diack — once one of the most powerful men in world sport — is jailed for four years for taking bribes to cover up positive doping tests. coronavirus in india is still accelerating. we are going to look prime minister modi is going to be blamed for the rising cases. also in the programme: the uk action here is defensive, in relation to what the eu is doing, it is precautionary — we haven't done any of this —
