obviously. in the next ball, paying, obviously. in the next ball, england, defending champions from australia, comfortably beating trinidad and tobago, in the swimming pool it was a great morning for scotland, toni shaw is into the finals of the final. we're sticking around because the women's triathlon is coming up next, the name to watch out for its england's georgia taylor brown, a phenomenal year and she could cap it with commonwealth gold. alex yee picking up his medal, the national anthem is playing. there's a full 11 days of sport coming up during the course of these games — they are to some extent having to share the limelight with the euro football final this weekend — but for sports lovers, this isjust a bonanza of a summer. much more from us in birmingham throughout the day, but for now i'll hand back to you, martine. time for a look at the weather.

here's ben rich. is it exciting or are entering a period of calm?— is it exciting or are entering a period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently _ period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently but _ period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently but that _ period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently but that is _ period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently but that is not - period of calm? perhaps than it has been recently but that is not bad i been recently but that is not bad news for the commonwealth games where the weather started pretty decent. we got some patchy cloud to with some sunny spells, throughout the weekend we have the chance to see some rain starting to develop cut is it of all of this cloud on the earlier satellite picture out towards the north—west. that will work in and bringing in some outbreaks of rain, some patchy cloud ahead of that producing one or two showers and throughout the afternoon some showers for southern scotland, northern england, parts of wales and the midlands and thicker cloud for northern ireland with outbreaks of rain in the late afternoon. elsewhere, some spells of sunshine. it is pretty worn out there. 2014 glasgow, 27 in london. this evening

and tonight in this cloud comes in from the west, rain for northern ireland and scotland and northern england and wales, turning misty and murky in places as well, in the south and east clear spells. not cold by any stretch, quite a muggy night. 12—16. this frontal system sinks in tomorrow and that brings the chance for rain for some although not much into the south where rain is something that is really needed. tomorrow, outbreaks of rain and cloud syncing out of scotland and northern ireland into northern england and wales, some heavier rain across north—west england, north wales, that could be the odd spot into east anglia through the afternoon. quite a warm days. it will feel quite humid as well with mist and murky conditions which likely to become quite extensive where we have this area of

cloud saturday into sunday. still some rain, that cloud and rain stays with us into sunday. across central uk, drier to the north, mostly dry to the south, we could do with some rain in the south. and another warm day in the south, cooler and fresher for north and west. for the other big sporting event, the usual 22 final at wembley, lots of cloud, could be the odd spot of rain but temperatures are an 26 celsius. some rain around next week but much of that to the north—west of the uk. very little of it into the south and the east. that's all from the bbc news at 0ne, so it's goodbye from me and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

welcome to birmingham on day one of the action in the commonwealth games. will have all the latest sport for you. 16 gold medals across 14 sports up for grabs today and already — we have the first gold of this year's games. it's been won up the road in sutton coldfield where england's alex yee has triumphed in the men's triathlon. you may remember he took silver at last year's olympics, but he's gone one better here. he produced a stunning 5k run to chase down hayden wilde of new zealand to claim his place at the top of the first podium of these games. i feel extremely grateful to be on the situation. ifeel i feel extremely grateful to be on the situation. i feel extremely proud to be a triathlete, to see so many different nations i've never raced before and who are doing

triathlon for the first time, it's an amazing day and i'm super proud to be the winner of this great event. a , to be the winner of this great event. ., ., ., , ., to be the winner of this great event. ., ., ., , event. many congratulations to alex yee. next to the netball where england, the defending champions, thrashed trinidad and tobago in their opening game. they won 74—22 at the nec arena, thatis they won 74—22 at the nec arena, that is a record defeat for trinidad and tobago. the aussies need to secure a top two finish in the group and they've still got new zealand to face. later onjamaica face wales, and new zealand play northern ireland. the track cycling is taking place outside of birmingham at the lee valley velopark in london. and england's men are guaranteed a medal in the team pursuit. dan bigham, charlie tanfield, ethan vernon and ollie wood recorded the second fastest time of qualifying and will take on new zealand for the gold.

wales will race australia for the bronze. but it didn't go so well for england's women. laura kenny and her team can only win bronze at best after finishing third in qualifying. they'll be up against wales for the medal. australia and new zealand will face off for the gold. the hockey is also under way in birmingham city centre, there was a huge win for new zealand against kenya in pool d. scotland pulled off an excellent victory against south africa. this goal the decider for scotland and meant they won 4—2. wales will be taking on canada in group a. action also taking place over in coventry this morning where the rugby 75 has got underway.

there was a very comfortable opening win for the england womens side. they absolutely steamrollered sri lanka in their pool a match. wasps winger ellie boatman was the star, grabbing four tries. 57—0 it ended in that one. not such a good start for the scottish side. they were beaten in their opening match in pool b, 31—12 the final score against a very strong fiji side. cricket is being played for the first time ever at the commonwealth games in the women's game with india taking on australia in the t20. that is a repeat of the world t20 final. india elected to bat at edgbaston, they made 154—8 from their ten

overs. australia got themselves into a spot of bother, they lost a couple of quick early wickets and 49—5. we can go to the live pictures from edgbaston where australia are making heavy weather of it. there's been another wicket for them so they are currently 100—6. another wicket for them so they are currently100—6. lots another wicket for them so they are currently 100—6. lots more going on this afternoon, action taking place across birmingham, the west midlands and beyond. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. i'll be back in an hour. let's get more on our top story in the wagatha christie trial as rebekah vardy loses her libel case at the high court. she had sued coleen rooney after the latter accused her of leaking private information to the tabloid press. both women have huge social media followings and business interests.

minutes after the verdict we had reaction from the high court and our correspondence.— correspondence. rebekah vardy has lost her libel— correspondence. rebekah vardy has lost her libel claim _ correspondence. rebekah vardy has lost her libel claim against - correspondence. rebekah vardy has lost her libel claim against coleen . lost her libel claim against coleen rooney. we are getting the summary sent to us, the easiest thing is if i read it. the court has handed down a judgment following the trial claim and the claim has been dismissed. the defendant established the essence of the libel was substantially true, that means coleen rooney managed to establish that the essence of what she puts in her original post, the accusatory one in october 2019, was true. the defendant's alternative defence of publication in the public interest was rejected. that's the end of the second part of coleen rooney's defence but the first part, the important part, thejudge said defence but the first part, the important part, the judge said what she put in the original post, the one where she said its rebekah

vardy�*s account, that was true. i read one more paragraph of the summary. the court found that the claimant, rebekah vardy, together with caroline watt was party to the disclosure to the sun and then it lists the postings that appeared on coleen rooney's private instagram that ended up in the sun. list of the stories its marriage, birthday, halloween, pyjamas, car crash, gender selection, baby—sitting and gender selection, ba by—sitting and basement gender selection, baby—sitting and basement flooding. the court considered it likely that caroline watt is, it rebekah vardy�*s agent, undertook the direct act in relation to each post of passing the information to a journalist at the sun that found that the claimant was actively engaged in this process. so, this says that rebekah vardy knew what was going on with her agent when she was releasing these

stories and passing them on to the sun and i would appear in the newspaper. let's get reaction to this, your instant reaction? this is an absolute _ this, your instant reaction? this is an absolute disaster— this, your instant reaction? this is an absolute disaster for _ this, your instant reaction? this is an absolute disaster for rebekah l an absolute disaster for rebekah vardy _ an absolute disaster for rebekah vardy. what makes it even more tragic— vardy. what makes it even more tragic is — vardy. what makes it even more tragic is that four times coleen rooney— tragic is that four times coleen rooney tried to settle this case. the judge — rooney tried to settle this case. the judge told her that the case should — the judge told her that the case should be settled but she's carried on, should be settled but she's carried on. she's— should be settled but she's carried on, she's suffered terrible brand damage — on, she's suffered terrible brand damage during the course of the examination and she has lost. financially, she will have to pay all of _ financially, she will have to pay all of her — financially, she will have to pay all of her costs, 70% of coleen rooney's — all of her costs, 70% of coleen rooney's costs, well over £2 million. _ rooney's costs, well over £2 million, £2.5 million quite possibly. more damaging is that she has been _ possibly. more damaging is that she has been effectively branded a liar by the _ has been effectively branded a liar by the judgment. she denied it in a witness _ by the judgment. she denied it in a witness box, she denied it under oath _ witness box, she denied it under oath and — witness box, she denied it under oath and the judge found that she had done — oath and the judge found that she had done it. so it is very, very damaging _ had done it. so it is very, very damaging for her reputation. it�*s a

the school is getting rid of ties, v neckjumpers, trousers and going back to polo trousers, and trousers that are grey. guidance says when schools change uniform they should think carefully about the impact on families finances. things like making sure the number of items with a logo are kept to a bare minimum and making sure there is a over period where pupils can still wear their old uniform. king's 0ak insist all pupils must start wearing the new uniform from september. it is disillusioning to parents there is actual clear government guidance and that schools are choosing not to follow it. the principal told me she believes the school has done nothing wrong and says most families are happy with the changes. the parents we have spoken to, they feel you haven't followed the guidance. we've acted in line with government guidance but we understand every family's perception of this is different and if families are struggling, we are working with them to reduce the cost of the uniform and to support them

with giving them a uniform to help them transition if that is needed. it is an offer these parents don't want to have to accept. as a disabled parent, i don't want to plead poverty, i want to be able to afford the uniform. it doesn't take into consideration that parents have hand—me—down items that we would be using such as the black trousers. the government says if parents have complained to the school and are unhappy with the response given, they can raise a complaint with the department for education.

a rare dinosaur skeleton has sold at auction in the us forjust over $6 million. the 77 million year old skeleton is a close relative of the tyrannosaurus wreck spot faster and with a stronger bite. it went to a private bidder whose identity hasn't been revealed prompting scientist to express concern it won't be on display to the public. daughters has been given a new lease of life with his very own set of wheels —— a tortoise. he's back on the move thanks to an ingenious solution. the vet fitted him with plastic wheels from a toy building set and now he's happily gliding through the garden and eating grass. it lowers your pulse watching that. coming up, tim willcox and i'll be back at 5pm but

now the weather. hello. it's one of those afternoons where cloud amounts vary across the uk. for some quite a lot of sunshine but for others, including in the west midlands, there will be a fair amount of cloud at times but not all the time. we can see that lump of cloud on the earlier satellite picture. it's been sitting across parts of northern england, even producing the odd shower. plenty more cloud in the atlantic and that's going to bring rain for some of us as we head through the weekend. the first dribs and drabs of that working into parts of northern ireland through the afternoon. one or two showers elsewhere, variable cloud, some sunshine and quite a warm day. as we go through this evening and tonight, we will see this area of more extensive cloud moving across northern ireland, scotland and northern england and north wales with outbreaks of rain. turning quite misty and murky with hill fog and it's going to be a very, very mild night. quite muggy in places.

tomorrow, we've got this frontal system pushing down from the north—west, that's going to bring cloud and outbreaks of rain. we can pick up on that on the weather chart, rather great conditions for scotland and northern ireland. ——rather grey conditions for scotland and northern ireland. it should brighten up into the afternoon as the cloud and rain sinks down into parts of northern england and wales. to the south of that we should see some spells of sunshine at times. that's where we'll have the highest of the temperatures, up to 27 again. it's going to be quite a warm and muggy day across many parts of the uk. through saturday, instead of pushing that band of cloud through, it sticks in place and starts to wobble northwards again. that will bring further outbreaks of rain for some of us as we move into sunday. some areas of mist, murk and hill fog. that rain moving east through the day. to the north some sunny spells for scotland and northern ireland, a fresher feel. parts of southern england will stay dry and here once again it

will be warm and muggy. warm again for the women's football final on sunday, fair amounts of cloud, temperature is 26. more rain to come for some of us through next week, particularly in the north—west. not much of that getting into the south—east.

this is bbc news, i'm tim willcox. the headlines at 2pm: rebecca vardy loses her high court libel case against colleen rooney. vardy sued rooney after the latter accused her of leaking her private information to the sun police in lincolnshire arrest two people after a nine—year—old girl died in a suspected stabbing. we do believe this to be an isolated incident and we are not yet in a position to name the victim. her parents are being supported by specially trained officers at this very difficult time and i can only imagine the grief and pain they are going through. the government says people will receive the £400 to help with rising energy bills in six monthly installments from october. the government concedes it needs to improve its response to international crises — after mps described the uk's response as a disaster and betrayal likely to have cost afghan lives.
