welcome along, thanks forjoining us. more on a dramatic day at the open golf to come, but we start tonight with the extraordinary events at silverstone, where lewis hamilton has been celebrating winning the british grand prix. nothing too surprising in that, but the story of the race was a remarkable one in which the championship leader max verstappen crashed out on the opening lap. hamilton was blamed for that, given a ten—second penalty, but he still fought back to win, closing the gap on his title rival to just eight points. joe wilson reports. silverstone and a crowd on a pre—covid scale, 140,000. an organised arrangement to be checked. many were supporting the reigning world champion.
7:47 pm
lewis hamilton started second on the grid in his black mercedes, aware that red bull's max verstappen ahead of him had a faster car and that he had to make an impression quickly. first and second in the drivers�* championship, battling for the lead in the british grand prix until this. 0n the inside, and a touch. max verstappen is out of the race, and that's a big crash. the most important thing was that max verstappen was ok. of course, he was out of the race. lewis hamilton's assessment was that verstappen turned into him. intense discussions followed. who wrote this plot? when the race resumed, it was decided that hamilton was at fault, a ten—second penalty taken in the pits. but he was soon moving, past lando norris here into third. hamilton's team—mate let him to enter second to challenge for the lead. charles leclerc in the red ferrari seemed to move aside.

hamilton through. fans in the stands, film stars in the pits, lewis hamilton crossing the line in first, a hollow victory, claimed verstappen�*s team. spectators leaving may still be discussing what happened on the first lap, but the outcome of this race has dramatically changed the dynamic of the championship, in lewis hamilton's favour. joe wilson, bbc news, silverstone. red bull obviously unhappy with what happened. in the last hour, max verstappen has tweeted this... after the race, lewis hamilton gave his take on what happened. ican i can see he was not going to concede. and so anyways he cut

international at headingley was finally over and inglorious conditions pakistan surprisingly put england to bat for that decision looked vindicated in the very first over as jason roy was sent back to the pavilion. they were sent to die before the revival started, some big hitting from moeen ali stating the ship. he was ably assisted by the returning captainjos buttler, whose half—century had england hiring a big total. after a stunning innings on friday, liam livingstone picked it where he left off. no boundary seems big enough for him at the moment. the tourist stop a chart with some quick wickets and were left with a daunting looking target of 201 for victory. but with this man on your side, anything is possible. the elegance of the pakistan skipper on full display once again. after he went, the belief was still there. even those in the crowd showing off their

tested positive injapan. mark cavendish has missed out on setting a new record of 35 stage wins at the tour de france, as wout van aert won the final stage of this year's tour. cavendish finished as winner of the sprinter�*s green jersey and equalled eddy merckx's record of 3a stage wins, all the more remarkable when you consider he was thinking of retiring less than a year ago. as expected, slovenia's tadej pogacar won the overall yellow jersey, as drew savage reports. in 68 years, the sprinter�*s green jersey has only won by a british man was before and that was also mark cavendish. but the man in green had begun the day hoping to read up on amazing come back to with one more stage when. starting alongside tadej pogacar, who had an easy day i had come traditionally the right into paris is a victory lap for the man in yellow and their markable young slovenian had earned a day off after defending the title he won last year in style. but once the race hit the
7:57 pm
shops in lisee, it was all business for anyone wanting the glory of a stage when in paris. it had been a fairy tale return for cavendish come from a select come up to the race after three years of interest and illness to winning a stage and winning three more to finally equal the all—time record. and it took a brilliant spring from another belgian to spoil the ending and stop him from beating it. third confirmed cavendish's spot on the podium but he clearly hope for more. that's all from sportsday. the highlights from collin morikawa's great when at the open championship beginning on bbc two shortly but for me in the team that is it for us for now. good night. hello. this weekend has brought lots of sunshine and lots of warmth to the uk.
7:58 pm
and there's more to come on into the week ahead as well, as high pressure keeps our weather largely settled. saturday saw a new record high temperature in northern ireland. there was more cloud around here though on sunday, and that is because despite having high pressure, we have still managed to work the remnants of a weak cold front into the north of the uk, through sunday, hence a cooler day for scotland and northern ireland and some more cloud around here. a little bit of that cloud will trickle down the north sea coast overnight as well. a pleasant enough night for going to sleep though for scotland and northern ireland, unlike the rather sticky, humid conditions which will persist across england and wales. monday, a lot of fine weather to come, a lot of sunshine, some cloud will bother the north sea coast through the day but it should look brighter, particularly for northern scotland and northern ireland and it will become warmer once again, temperatures two or three degrees up on sunday. england and wales perhaps two or three degrees down but still very warm with temperatures in the high 20s.
7:59 pm
as high pressure sticks around, very little difference in our scenario for tuesday, still plenty of fair weather to come, the slim chance of a shower across eastern england. it could produce quite a bit of rain if we do see a shower but it is a very small risk. we have got temperatures widely in the mid to high 20s. wednesday, high pressure sitting firmly in place, a little bit of north sea cloud, perhaps a bit of fairweather cloud inland but a lot of sunshine and a lot of warmth and that is building for glasgow and belfast through the middle of the week. temperatures 26, 27 degrees here. thursday it is looking very similar yet again. sunshine dominating the picture, a little bit of fairweather cloud here or there and in that sunshine, temperatures mid to high 20s. the end of the week though does pose a question mark in terms of our forecast. big areas of high pressure, always slightly unpredictable to break down how quickly they will clear away, maybe friday but certainly on into next weekend,
8:00 pm
it looks like the picture will become dramatically different as low pressure sweeps into the uk, ushers in cooler air and i think we will see some pretty big thunderstorms for a time as well. this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. the german leader angela merkel visits the region worst affected by devastating floods she says the world must act faster in its battle against global warming. it all suggests that it has something to do with climate change. we have to hurry, we have to get a move on in the fight against climate change. the uk prime minister and chancellor have made a rapid u turn and announced they will now self—isolate, after being identified as contacts of the health secretary, who's tested positive for coronavirus. we did look briefly at the idea of us taking — we did look briefly at the idea of us taking part in the pilot scheme which _ us taking part in the pilot scheme which allows people to test daily,
