nichelle nichols' background was in musical theatre — a talent the show occasionally exploited. # 0h, on the starship enterprise. her character on star trek was ground—breaking in many ways. the show broadcast one of television's first interracial kisses. mr spock, i haven't done anything like this in years. but perhaps more significant was seeing notjust a woman, but a black woman playing such a prominent role. i can think of no—one better equipped to handle it, miss uhura. indeed, when she was considering leaving the show, she was persuaded to stay... i'm afraid i changed my mind. ..after being introduced to martin luther king. when i told him i was leaving the show, he said, "how can you leave? there is a door open here that you cannot allow to close because you have the first non—stereotypical

role in television, and the world is looking." hi, i'm nichelle nichols, but i still feel a little bit like lieutenant uhura on the starship enterprise. even after star trek, she continued to inspire subsequent generations, taking part in several nasa initiatives to encourage women and people from ethnic minorities to join the space programme. for her, it was a lifelong mission. what, have you lost all your sense of reality? she returned to star trek when it took to the cinema screen, having lost none of her characters determination. screen, having lost none of her character's determination. you wanted adventure, how's this? the old adrenaline going, huh? good boy. get in the closet. star trek hoped to portray a future where prejudice had faded away. nichelle nichols played a huge part in bringing that future a step closer.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel shabi — an author and journalist, and kate maltby — a columnist from the i newspaper. we will say hello to both in a moment. first, let's look at the front pages. the metro celebrates the lionesses�* victory in the euro �*22 final — england's first major international trophy for more than a half century — be declaring, "no more years of hurt." the independent hails history being made, and says the team has inspired the nation. the sun even claims its time for the england's men's team to move over. the telegraph also features the lionesses on its front page, but it leads with rishi sunak�*s pledge to cut 4p off income tax

by the end of the next parliament. the i says senior tories are pleading with sunak and his rival liz truss to stop trashing the party's record in government. while the ft reports that european governments are easing sanctions on russia because of their fears over inflation and energy prices. hello. let's get on with it because there is only one story we have to start with, the football. everyone has been watching, almost everyone come up and down the country this evening. let's start with the l. ending the 56 year wait for a trophy. no more years of hurt, a play on the famous song lyrics. rachel, did you manage to watch any of the game? i rachel, did you manage to watch any of the game?— of the game? i see what you did there. i watched _ of the game? i see what you did there. i watched the _ of the game? i see what you did there. i watched the game -

of the game? i see what you did there. i watched the game and i of the game? i see what you did| there. i watched the game and it of the game? i see what you did - there. i watched the game and it was wonderful to watch. it was a tense moment when we thought, my gosh, will it go to penalties? i don't think i could have watched. and of going to penalties! it is really hard not to get swept up in the joy, the infectious joy and hard not to get swept up in the joy, the infectiousjoy and happiness hard not to get swept up in the joy, the infectious joy and happiness on our screens and to see these women, they have just given the country so much happiness and been so inspiring, as we have seen, men, women, boys and girls, record—breaking stadium. theyjust record—breaking stadium. they just proved record—breaking stadium. theyjust proved the potential for this game and it is hard, as well, to watch it without feeling a little bit sad for all the potential that we will never know because women's footballjust hasn't been given the funding for the support for all of these years and so there is a bit of sadness for the talent that never got to be, but

a whole lot ofjoy for the talent thatis a whole lot ofjoy for the talent that is now and the talent that hopefully is to come. something strikin: hopefully is to come. something striking about _ hopefully is to come. something striking about the _ hopefully is to come. something striking about the images, - hopefully is to come. something striking about the images, we i hopefully is to come. something | striking about the images, we will look at the front page of the independent, the next paper, history is their headline. england beat germany to end the wait for lionesses first major trophy. in this day and age we will all see these photos instantly as soon as these photos instantly as soon as the match finishes were as in the old days we would have to wait for the front pages. there is still something quite special about seeing a whole sea of newspaper front pages awash with women's football, which would not have happened just a couple of years ago, kate. i would not have happened 'ust a couple of years ago, kate. i think that is entirely _ couple of years ago, kate. i think that is entirely true _ couple of years ago, kate. i think that is entirely true and, - couple of years ago, kate. i think| that is entirely true and, speaking of the power of images, for an awful lot of us the defining image is going to be last moment of chloe kelly scoring that goal, overwhelmed with celebration, and just pulling

her shirt off like all the blokes do at the football match. sorry, all the blokes do on the football pitch. and revealing her sports bra, which is what you wear if you are a female footballer, simple as that, a moment of celebrating the female body as athletic and functional but also beautiful for it. 50 athletic and functional but also beautiful for it.— athletic and functional but also beautiful for it. athletic and functional but also beautifulforit. ., , ., beautifulfor it. so many images to choose from _ beautifulfor it. so many images to choose from and _ beautifulfor it. so many images to choose from and you _ beautifulfor it. so many images to choose from and you are _ beautifulfor it. so many images to choose from and you are right, - beautifulfor it. so many images to| choose from and you are right, that one will absolutely stick in the mind. we go to the front page of the sun, the last one we will look at before we get onto the politics but the front page, move over, fella, its helm is their headline and another picture of the trophy being lifted —— it is home. lots of smiles and celebrations as you can imagine. rachel, this does is only people happy watching and lots of people pointing out the fact that it was on

the bbc, that's a new kind of couldn't avoid it even if you wanted to at times, it has really, really paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course- — paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course- i _ paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course. i mean, _ paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course. i mean, the _ paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course. i mean, the level- paid off in this instance the. yeah, of course. i mean, the level of - of course. i mean, the level of engagement now compared to what it was a few years ago is extraordinary, but it is also this team. i mean, it's the way they played, the team spirit between them, the leadership there, the sort of cheeky, nifty game and that they play and the joy that they bring, the happiness and delight that they bring. it's very infectious. even if you are not particularly into football it suddenly becomes something you want to watch just because of the way they do it. and i think that that is part of what has been so engaging, you know. exactly on that point. — been so engaging, you know. exactly on that point, what _ been so engaging, you know. exactly on that point, what i _ been so engaging, you know. exactly on that point, what i remember- been so engaging, you know. exactly on that point, what i remember fromj on that point, what i rememberfrom lots of this tournament is the backheel goal, for example, and lob

in this final, purely sporting moments are already lodged in my brain and will be there for a long time. i know we have to move on to the politics and kate, front page of the daily telegraph, which as i mentioned has the photo of the football, but underneath, a pretty significant moment in the tory leadership campaign. can you talk us through this? yes, althou:h can you talk us through this? yes, although don't _ can you talk us through this? yes, although don't we _ can you talk us through this? yes, although don't we all— can you talk us through this? yes, although don't we all wish - can you talk us through this? ye: although don't we all wish we could just celebrate joyous things like the football and not have to come back to this a bloodbath that is the tory leadership contest? and i think thatis tory leadership contest? and i think that is part of the point. in fact, throughout the papers today we also have calls from tory grandees being quoted supposedly begging the two

final contenders in this contest to stop tearing the party apart and particularly to stop attacking each other over decisions they actually made in the recent tory government. but i think this particular move from rishi sunak... i mean, let's be honest, it is a mark of desperation. he had a very well organised campaign within the parliamentary party so i was frankly a little surprised by how well he organised his support amongst mps. there had been a lot of questions about when he was any good at politics because although he had been promoted very quickly as someone who had had a senior career at... quickly as someone who had had a senior careerat... it quickly as someone who had had a senior career at... it was a double whammy, he had a senior career in the city and he was a passionate brexit supporter which was a rare combination meaning he was parachuted of the party particularly when borisjohnson needed loyalists. but then he became very unstuck when he showed no ability to handle revelations about his own tax affairs and his wife's tax status,

and here he is now trailing amongst the membership. i think the real point here is the story you have asked me to comment on is rishi sunak has promised the biggest income tax cut in 30 years, he has vowed to slash the basic rate from 20% to 16%. late vowed to slash the basic rate from 20% to i6%. late in the stories he says that's not a u—turn, but let's be honest, it is. it is a flip—flop as a source from the truss campaign is saying because he is tanking because the membership have accepted liz truss' tax plans as something thatcherite and they love it and i should say for your viewers the sunak campaign insist this is not a flip—flop because he has always presented himself as a person who funds his tax plans carefully, he doesn't want to borrow in order to fund tax cuts, and he says he had... i'm just looking for it. his

campaign _ i'm just looking for it. his campaign argued the move was consistent with his previous moves given it would only be adopted once inflation drops and would not be funded by borrowing, that is his argument. that may be true, it may stand up, but from a pr point of view, if you start the campaign saying i would be irresponsible and promised tax cuts and then you suddenly announce them, that is maybe his undoing here. yes. suddenly announce them, that is maybe his undoing here. yes, that was the point _ maybe his undoing here. yes, that was the point i _ maybe his undoing here. yes, that was the point i was _ maybe his undoing here. yes, that was the point i was trying - maybe his undoing here. yes, that was the point i was trying to - maybe his undoing here. yes, that| was the point i was trying to make. thank you, that was exactly the way i was looking to draw attention to! it doesn't matter how much mortgage you put in to try to argue that, you are still the responsible person. he is doing that because later on in the story there is a quote saying it is a radical vision but also a realistic one and there are some core principles i'm simply not prepared to compromise on, whatever the price. rishi sunak trying to argue he is the one who has a realistic tax plan, you know, who

isn'tjust doing giveaways. but he has retreated, hasn't he? come on. i'm sure that will be the view of some. i want to get more moisture in athletes. let's go to the daily telegraph, still on the same story in essence. nadhim zahawi comes off the bench to give truss his backing. they are all lining up behind truss. nadhim zahawi being the latest following. tom tugendhat recently, and suella braverman. 0bviously they want to back the winning horse so that they see the fortunes of truss and she is doing so much better than sunak. it would be... unless he manages to turn things around in the next few days, i think that's kind of lead that she has will become quite cemented and it will be very difficult for him to turn around. and so you can just see all these

conservative mps lining up to support her thinking, well, obviously, we want to be in the court of the winning person. so i would say it is absolutely as cynical as that and nothing else. this cynical as that and nothing else. as cynical as that and nothing else. as cynical as that and nothing else. as cynical as that. we don't have long left. i guess by a previous answer i know the answer to this but i will ask you both, can you see anything changing here in the polls in the support for liz truss? is this basically nowt wrapped up for liz truss? i basically nowt wrapped up for liz truss? ., _ basically nowt wrapped up for liz truss? ., ., , , truss? i would say i would be very surrised truss? ! would say i would be very surprised if— truss? i would say i would be very surprised if it _ truss? i would say i would be very surprised if it changed _ truss? i would say i would be very surprised if it changed but - truss? i would say i would be very surprised if it changed butjust - truss? i would say i would be very| surprised if it changed butjust one word of caution. no one has yet to really dropped any negative attacks on liz truss and i'm sure someone has a folder somewhere. every of us has a folder somewhere. every of us has a folder somewhere. every of us has a back story. that is the only thing. has a back story. that is the only thin. , ., . thing. interesting, rachel, in ten seconds? 0h. — thing. interesting, rachel, in ten seconds? oh, i— thing. interesting, rachel, in ten seconds? oh, i never— thing. interesting, rachel, in ten seconds? oh, i never give - seconds? oh, i never give predictions. _ seconds? oh, i never give predictions, but _ seconds? oh, i never give predictions, but what - seconds? oh, i never give predictions, but what i - seconds? oh, i never give predictions, but what i do | seconds? oh, i never give - predictions, but what i do know is that neither one of these will be the prime minister that britain

needs. both are economically run for different reasons. post—pandemic, just like post war, you need massive dimension especially when looking at the cost—of—living crisis, when people just cannot cope. we the cost-of-living crisis, when people just cannot cope. people 'ust cannot cope. we must leave people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. _ people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. i _ people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. i have _ people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. i have a _ people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. i have a feeling - people just cannot cope. we must leave it there. i have a feeling we | leave it there. i have a feeling we may pick this up again later in the next edition of that papers. thank you both very much. thanks to both of them and the next edition is at 11:30pm. join us then if you can. for now, goodbye.

it's been a while since i've been in one of these. it hasn't been in action for 60 years so you must have been 12! oi! we are at the riverside transport museum in glasgow and you can really see how things have changed over time. one thing that's changing is the way we pay for public transport. many of us are ditching paper money and tickets and instead using smartphones or, like you, smartwatches to pay for our journey. i never carry cash but one time i went to pay with this at a shop and i didn't have it on. it was a bare wrist, so embarrassing. for the bus or london underground, it's easy. things might get easier with smart ticketing, which would spell the end for ticket barriers. instead, sensors will talk to an app which tracks your journey and automatically charges you. 0ne system using bluetooth beacons is already active in genoa and paul carter has been to take a look. 0ur cities are changing.

and so the way we we navigate them is changing, too.
