aren't always self—aware of the impact of their behaviour or their words. the lack of recognition that actually that might make me feel more uncomfortable because i am the only one. when we talk about communism and mainstream advertising and marketing, sponsors, brands, when you don't see images of yourself that are referenced as part of their beauty norms, that can have a negative mental impact on how you see yourself. for me it always made me challenge or i guess to some degree have some challenges in my own confidence because you see it everywhere around the in terms of this reference to blackness and how black you are being a negative thing, a negative stereotype. kind of does not allow you to sort of ta ke of does not allow you to sort of take up that space. this point and media and all of that is intertwined and when you read or hear stereotyping of any form related to black female athletes are black male

athletes are other ethnic backgrounds it is mentally draining because he did not want any individual to feel that they cannot be 100% themselves. maybe on that particular day in a training session and at very competitive person that comes across in a little bit more feisty but because there is an association with being a black woman having that kind of energy and boldness it's not always seen as a positive thing. i might refrain from being that person. that is what i think is a sad thing. honestly i think is a sad thing. honestly i think my message to people i think also receive raises and is that obviously they are not the problem. you are seen as the threat i guess because for whatever reason people that feel they have to use that kind of behaviour or language feel insecure but ultimately it's always going to come down to us having become that had this opening

conversation about racism and its termination in all forms. football in general has a great basis to do this. there's no getting away from it.. day one of the french open was a tough day at the office for british tennis fans. andy murray, dan evans, johanna konta — all fell by the wayside afterjust one match. . .with liam broady following today, leaving british number three cameron norrie to fly the flag in the men's singles.xxxxjoins me now...q - i'm di maria's former coachjoined me now. we will talk about anti—money festival. of all. no defeat is easy but you think and be able to pick himself up once again from what was a pretty heavy loss? it was one of his past losses in a grand time. putting things into the it was the perfect storm. they play very light and conditions that suit him and andy murray had not played on clay, traditionally unites a lot of training and play quite match is

to build up to bat so it was a tough job, not one he would enjoy but i think he still feels he has got unfinished business with that we will keep working and going back to the drawing board and i'm not sure what you take from that because it was pretty happy but he will look to come back stronger. that is a characteristic of great athletes. they do that and vacate the knocks and they come back stronger.m they do that and vacate the knocks and they come back stronger. it was and they come back stronger. it was a bruising day for them today. em brody is out as well. yes. he was not that a writing that match, he is a seasoned pro who has paid from the tennis. he fought hard. he was a great experience money and grand slam of british soil and he came to the qualifying buds. and cam ranh ace and his first steps at the moment. fingers crossed for him. he was doing very well. 5—0 up in the first step. it is now 5—3. we will talk about serena williams. as a lwa ys talk about serena williams. as always that pressure on her, can she get the next grand slam. a sticky start it's fair to say but through
6:49 pm
to the second round. conditions not as bad as yesterday but still difficult. as e—mail and then painted a different time of year and the courts heavy and it's cold out there and she plays christiane who she paid in the us open and broken down twice in the first set but then turned on the gas in the tie—breaker and ran away with a second set. i think all in all she will be happy with her days work. getting through it all about getting through the early rounds and she's looking for a 24th grand slam to get the record so for her to chip away at those first few rounds and getting into the meat of the tournament. she's always exciting to watch. we'll talk about dominic thiem. his victory at the us open. how do you think he will fair with the likes of medaya being back. three favourites, fresh off that
6:50 pm
when a new york so full of confidence. a tricky first round against marin cilic and he looked at it for edgy at times but it's to be expected. and he's probably a little bit fatigued as well, he has got himself into such good shape and such a great competitor and now it that added confidence of having a grand slam under his belt he will be tough to stop. very difficult to pick between those three big names i would say. england's women are batting in the fourth of five 20 20 games with the west indies. they already lead 3—0 and are aiming for a clean sweep in the remaining games. they won the toss and chose to set a target. andrew flintoff rose to fame as one of the most gifted cricketers of his generation. but behind closed doors he kept

a secret — he's been living with the eating disorder bulimia. in a documentary on bbc1 tonight, freddie discusses his experiences... i got igota i got a picture in the press with you and i thought everyone was looking at me. i would go shopping, nobody was in the other thing i'm worried about when this programme goes out the reaction. i don't know how i will deal with that. it's a really brave thing to do and it's really brave thing to do and it's really exposing and making yourself a really vulnerable. it's a brave thing to do. i do not like being vulnerable. nobody does. it is a skill that can be learned. freddie flintoff: living with bulimia is on bbc one tonight at 9 o'clock
6:52 pm
how about this for a fabulous bit of fielding. it happened in the ipl...the ball is heading for what looks like a huge six. but nicholas pooran has other ideas. let's have a look at the slow motion replay — he dives over the rope, and manages to flick the ball back into play before hitting the groud saving the six. what a moment. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more from thebbbc sports centre throughout the evening. but from all teh team here — good night. that evening. you are watching bbc news. supermarket chain aldi says it pushing on with plans to open 100 new stores over the next two years — as its annual report showed a big
6:53 pm
jump in annual profits. its results predate the pandemic, though, which hasn't been easy for the discounters who don't sell food online. now aldi's dipping its toe into the fastest growing part of the grocery market — as our business correspondent emma simpson reports. you don't usually see this in an aldi, staff picking groceries ordered online. a small trial for now. is this a glimpse of the future? the discounters have missed out on the boom in online grocery sales and aldi's now having a go. the first customers in loughborough like it. we've been waiting for it. really glad that aldi have had a go at it. i haven't been out since the 23rd of march, it's the first time i've been to a supermarket since. for more than a decade, aldi and lidl have been the disruptors, stealing customers and growing sales. but the pandemic has been
6:54 pm
disruptive for them, as our shopping habits have shifted online. so what lies ahead now for aldi? this is our taste kitchen... a christmas season like no other. the boss says they are ready for it. i think, during a period of economic uncertainty, there is no doubt consumers are far more wary about their budgets and their spends, and we will ensure that, day in, day out, we offer the best value for money and we won't be beaten on price. but he says aldi also has to adapt. our business performance over the past six months has been very, very solid. we are growing, according to data, by about io%. i think what we also recognise is that consumer habits are changing and that we need to evolve our business to meet those new demands and we are actively doing that. some people have said, "oh, aldi is losing momentum. "aldi's peaked." 85% of customers still shop in—store and, such is our confidence in that that, you know, i'm announcing today the investment of £1.3 billion
6:55 pm
in expanding our store network here. that means 100 new stores, 100 store upgrades, 4,000 newjobs this year. aldi is doing deliveroo, too. another trial. this would have been unthinkable a year ago, but rivals won't be giving aldi the easy ride they had during the last recession. emma simpson, bbc news, loughborough. sir david attenborough has praised china for pledging to become carbon neutral by 2060. speaking to the bbc‘s louise minchin — the 94—year—old broadcaster said it was crucial that the younger generation was engaged with climate change and said that was why he had signed up to social media platform instagram last week. my name is david attenborough and i've been appearing on radio and television for the past 60 years. but this is my first time on instagram.
6:56 pm
and i'm making this move and exploring this new way of communication, to me, because, as we all know, the world is in trouble. congratulations, you are the fastest person to get to 1 million followers on instagram. i don't know if you know that! i read it in the paper this morning. so, why instagram and why now? well, i'm so old, it's difficult to teach an old dog new tricks, you know, and i'm not a great user of social media. and i haven't used instagram before. but the message that i am concerned about is so important, i'd use any medium to get there. in 2050, if we carry on this path that we all are on, how bad will it be, what will our planet look like? well, one of the things that will happen is that the world
6:57 pm
will get hotter and hotter and hotter and that's not news. i mean, that's been happening for a very long time. and deserts are spreading. if there's one choice to make today, what choice would you like to make? ——would you like people to make? don't waste... don't waste any thing. don't waste electricity. don't waste food. don't waste power. just treat the natural world as though it's precious, which it is, and don't squander those bits of it that we have control of. in the face of huge countries like china or brazil or the united states doing something entirely different, it seems irrelevant, sometimes. well, we have to do what's in our power. we can't take that as an excuse for doing nothing. we must do everything that all of us
6:58 pm
can and must do and china is taking very big steps, you know, in many directions. it's a huge country with an immense population and they are starting doing things about sorting out their climate and their weather, which has caused them such problems. the younger generation, it seems to be many of them are on board. how does that make you feel? oh, well, that's the great hope. that is the most important hope and most important place where there should be hope. it's their world and it's their tomorrow. i won't be there, they will be. it's theirs. of course, it's very important that the young people should be concerned about this and they are, in increasing numbers. it's extraordinarily touching and i feel privileged that they should listen to what an old bloke like me is talking about. sir david attenborough talking to louise minchin.
6:59 pm
now it's time for a look at the weather with susan powell good evening. weather—wise, it's been a pretty quiet start to the working week. but tomorrow, we have a lot of fair weather to come just light winds and there should be more the way of sunshine than we've had today. through the course of the day, we've been watching this weather front working its way from west to east, it's weakening away but still into the small hours of tuesday, it will push some thicker cloud and drizzling outbreaks of rain into eastern england. but it does mean a milder night here. clearer skies further west, temperatures fall down the lower end into single figures in some parts of scotland and northern ireland. at two there started to stay with plenty of sunshine chillier start here to tuesday from the get—go and eastern areas are to width of to wait for the cloud to thin and break, but we could get up to 19 degrees in the southeast when the sun does come out. but, from wednesday onwards, we moved into much cooler air and the weather picture and much

more mobile, wet and windy weather around to take us through the middle of the week. thursday, possibly offering a bit of respite. but then on into the weekend, set very unsettled. hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source — and there's only one place to start. american politics continues to reach to the new york times' investigation into donald trump's tax affairs. the president is using his go to defence. it is totally fake news. made up, fa ke it is totally fake news. made up, fake it. going to the same stories, asking the same questions three yea rs asking the same questions three years ago, and to litigate this and ask about that. totally fake news. we'll have a comprehensive update on the pandemic — the global death toll from covid19 has passed one million. in zimnbabwe, children are back at school — but some teachers are striking over safety. in germany, angela merkel‘s warning it could see close to 20,000 cases a day by christmas and in the uk,
