across england, wales and northern ireland — who've had their studies severely disrupted by the pandemic. almost 850,000 a—levels were taken this year and the proportion of top grades fell compared with the last two years, although they are still higher than before the pandemic. these pupils were the first to sit exams in two years, and most applying to university have had their places confirmed. the figures show that girls�* lead over boys has narrowed. but in england, there were clear regional differences in those achieving the top grades — with almost 10% more pupils getting a and a star in the south—east than in the north—east. there were results out too for more than 200,000 btec students — and also for the first thousand or so studying the new t levels, which are vocational courses which can lead to a degree or an apprenticeship.

most train services have been cancelled today after workers with a number of rail unions took strike action in a dispute over their pay and conditions. this is a map of where there were still some services running today, but there has been widespread disruption for commuters with only about 20% of services running on the lines that have been operational. the last trains for most long—distance services were this afternoon — with no service at all in any region departing after 6.30 this evening. 0ur transport correspondent katy austin has the latest. the only train carrying passengers in great yarmouth today was the land train. tourism businesses here have felt the impact of a series of strikes on the railway this summer. this area has been hit by repeated train drivers' walk—outs and the national rmt strikes. 10% of our visitors visit sea life great yarmouth using the train. covid hit us, we were

hoping that we were coming out of that, seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, it would be smooth sailing for us, however, these extra hurdles are just more frustrations, you know, to what could be a great year for us. the station here is completely closed today, and there are signs up warning passengers there are no trains at all. where services have been running around the country, they started later than normal and they finished earlier than usual. on some long—distance routes, the last train today set off mid—afternoon. from glasgow to london euston, major stations were quiet. in norwich, some commuters and leisure travellers turned up to catch what trains there were. they usually do that train at seven, because i start work at eight, but today i take the train at eight, and it causes inconvenience at the end of the day. we're trying to get four kids to gatwick today. we are leaving an hour and a half earlyjust in case to give us a buffer. 40,000 members of the rmt union and 5,000 workers in the tssa walked out today. they are demanding pay that reflects the

higher cost of living and forjobs and conditions to be protected. rail bosses insist they want to give a pay rise but reforms are needed to afford it. network rail thinks the rmt should put the offer it rejected last month to its members. i think the problem is that we've put a very good deal on the table that gives a guarantee ofjobs to everyone who wants it, that deals with a lot of the long—standing issues and is an 8% pay rise over two years, but that hasn't been put to my staff. the rmt has refused to put that referendum, and that is the problem because if they had the chance to vote on that, we believe they would accept it. the rmt argues the government is blocking train companies and network rail from making a reasonable offer. there is a deal to be done. i spoke to a senior negotiator for network rail this morning on this picket line who came along to say hello. we have a decent relationship with them. we could build a solution if we were allowed to. but at the minute, the politics of the conservative party leadership election, i fear,

is stopping this dispute from being resolved. but the department for transport called on union leaders to work with industry to agree a deal to bring the railways into the 21st century. another strike is planned for saturday. and the time we have been hearing from the key players in this dispute todayis from the key players in this dispute today is one of frustration, really, that despite all the talks that have taken place, there hasn't been a breakthrough. saturday will actually be the sixth time there has been a national scale strike in the past two months. before we get to that, there's more strike action tomorrow in london, which will affect the london underground, the 0verground and some bus services. thank you forjoining us. he he chester crown court has heard that a woman who alleges she was raped by the manchester city defender benjamin mendy repeatedly told him to stop as he tried to have sex with her. benjamin mendy is on trial

as the british diver wins the three—metre springboard event in rome. the british divers who helped discover a us shipwreck from world war i, that had been missing under the atlantic ocean since 1917, have said they "struck gold". the divers located the missing navy destroyer uss jacob jones last week 40 miles off the coast of the isles of scilly. jenny kumah has been talking to one of the divers. over 100 metres down and over 100 years after sinking. this is the moment when a team of divers found the final resting place of the uss jacobjones. it was a moment of pure joy after months of research and planning. when i saw that bell and i saw the letters jacob on it, and i knew that all the work and all the time that had been spent

getting there and getting us in the water and the big team effort that that had taken and we had cracked the mystery, that was fantastic. you can't, you know, you can't buy that feeling, frankly. the us destroyer was the first ever to be sunk by enemy fire, when on the 6th of december 1917, she was torpedoed by a german u—boat. she sank in deep water south of the isles of scilly. so this is the piece of specialist equipment i use to dive to jacob jones. the team made the discovery despite challenging conditions. all the way during the dive, the current was running, which made it quite difficult for us. the first thing that i saw was a boiler. there's different types of boilers on ships, and this one was quite distinctive, and i knew it was the same type from the jacob jones. some were saved after the german u—boat commander signalled american forces. it's been reported that he did this because he knew the crew didn't have a chance to call for help. 64 american sailors

lost their lives. their names are commemorated here at the brookwood american cemetery in surrey. it's nice that we know where this one is. maritime historians described this as a significant discovery. the poignant image of the ship's bell sat amongst the wreckage of a ship which is laying under the seas for 105 years, that brings a lump to my throat. and i rememberthose brave men doing what they were trying to do to assist the flow of supplies to the united kingdom. because of the depth of the wreck, the team were only able to spend 20 minutes exploring the site, the divers plan to return, and if the us government grants them permission, they'd love to raise the bell as a tribute to those who lost their lives. jenny kumah, bbc news. almost two weeks since archie battersbee had his life—support treatment withdrawn, his mother, hollie dance, is calling for a public inquiry

are dealt with in the future. barts health nhs trust previously said archie's case was a tragic one, which touched the hearts of many across the country, and archie's treatment was withdrawn in line with court rulings about his best interest. do you have any regrets at all looking back? no. no, i fought to the end, i promised my little boy i'd fight to the end, and that's exactly what i've done. and now i will continue to fight so that other people don't have to go through that. helena wilkinson, bbc news. the former manchester united footballer ryan giggs has been giving evidence for a second day in his trial, where he's accused of assaulting his former partner. ryan giggs has denied head—butting kate greville after what the prosecution described as completely losing his self—control at his home in 2020. laura scottjoins us from outside manchester crown court.
