the teenage superstar still on a semifinal collision course with novak djokovic. they're both on the same side of the draw. we will keep you updated on that one. djokovic booking his spot in round four, but the 22—time grand slam—winner had to work hard though for his place in the last 16. he beat spain's alejandro davidovich fokina 7—6, 7—6, 6—2. the world number 13 cameron norrie is out, though, beaten in straight sets by lorenzo musetti. it was a comfortable afternoon for the italian, who won 6—1, 6—2, 6—4 in just over two hours. the defeat for norrie means there are no british players left in the draw. a shock in the women's draw as the third seed jessica pegula is out. she was beaten in straight sets by belgium's elise mertens, who is into the french open fourth round for the second year in a row. i feel very happy. it was a good day at the office. i mean, i played an incredible first set most so i knew

she was going to come back, she's a great player, competitor, fighter. to get the game and go up 5—3 was crucial, to then go on and win. the confidence was there today and so happy about my level. away from the french open, roma managerjose morinho has been charged by uefa for verbally abusing the english referee anthony taylor after their europa league final defeat to seville in budapest on wednesday. mourinho was booked during the game and repeatedly swore at the official in a car park after the match. taylor and his family were also jostled by roma fans at the airport on their return on thursday, with one man was arrested for affray. both clubs face several charges over the conduct of the players and their fans. on the pitch, barcelona's women are looking to lift the champions league trophy for the second time in three years this weekend. they face wolfsburg in saturday's final, a team they beat at the semifinal stages last year. despite that defeat, wolfsburg head coach tommy stroot says he's pleased with how

the tournament has unfolded. happy... translation: �* ., , , translation: before this season i already said — translation: before this season i already said i _ translation: before this season i already said i wanted _ translation: before this season i already said i wanted to _ translation: before this season i already said i wanted to play - already said i wanted to play barcelona and this one game in the final. we think that we have a good chance to win tomorrow because we have the quality. we have special qualities, and we have a good squad and we want to show what we have. england's cricketers are closing in on an impressive and very comfortable victory in their one—off test against ireland, with the ashes just around the corner. resuming on 152—1, england racked up the runs. ollie pope leading the charge, scoring a double century. he was eventually out for 205. england declaring on 524—4, a lead of 352. and with the ball, a moment to remember for debutantjosh tongue as he took three wickets to leave ireland on 97—3 at stumps, still 255 runs behind. post—match, england batter ben duckett spoke to former england captain michael vaughan.

i always make a joke saying he cannot getjohn ron's leaving the ball but it's the way i've always played most of i try to play the ball under my eyes and obviously a big area for me is through third man, so i try and get off to a bit ofa man, so i try and get off to a bit of a flyer and score and then they generally bowl a bit straighter. not a plan of mine but is not one of my stronger shots try to get the bowlers to bowl at me. and finally, after a successful football and acting career, eric cantona has now turned his hand to music. he's released his his first ever single, the friends we lost. the track — which is written, composed and performed by cantona — features the former premier league legend reciting the lyrics in spoken word. cantona has also announced a number of shows for october where he will be performing his music for the first time. and that's all the sport for now.

thank you very much. was not expecting that as the final sport story. to singapore now, where the asia security summit is under way. it's known as the shangri la summit, named after the hotel which hosts the event. more than 600 delegates from 49 countries will be in attendance, but what everyone is looking for is a meeting between the us and china's defence secretaries. china has turned down an invitation for an official meeting with us defense secretary lloyd austin, but take a look at this. the us and chinese delegation were seated together at a dinner earlier, and there's the two defence ministers shaking hands. smart work by whoever organised the seating plan. australia's prime minister, anthony albanese, urged dialogue between the us and china during his keynote speech at the gathering in singapore. it's not a question of placing obstacles in the way of any nation's progress or their potential.

this is a matter of simple, practical structures to prevent a worst—case scenario, and the essential precondition for this is of course dialogue. australia strongly supports a renewed effort from president biden�*s administration to establish reliable and open channels of communication between the governments of the united states of america and the people's republic of china. for more on this, i'm joined by derek grossman, security analyst at the rand corporation, a nonpartisan us think tank. let's start with that photo there. what do you make of it? hot what do you make of it? not entirely unexected what do you make of it? not entirely unexaected as _ what do you make of it? not entirely unexpected as he _ what do you make of it? not entirely unexpected as he said _ what do you make of it? not entirely unexpected as he said they _ what do you make of it? not entirely unexpected as he said they were - unexpected as he said they were seated _ unexpected as he said they were seated next to each other and i think_ seated next to each other and i think the — seated next to each other and i think the facilitators of the shangri _ think the facilitators of the shangri la dialogue obviously did

those are warning sirens there and people running in the streets pretty recently. north korea launched that satellite. it was a failed launch, but it still spread a lot of concern in south korea and injapan. what's been the reaction to that since then and how highly will north korea feature here? the and how highly will north korea feature here?— and how highly will north korea feature here? the south korean --eole feature here? the south korean people live _ feature here? the south korean people live under _ feature here? the south korean people live under constant - feature here? the south koreanl people live under constant threat unfortunately, whether it's a space launch— unfortunately, whether it's a space launch or— unfortunately, whether it's a space launch or it's a nuclear test or conventional missile test. so unfortunately they are very used to this. unfortunately they are very used to this there — unfortunately they are very used to this. there has been some domestic fallout— this. there has been some domestic fallout in— this. there has been some domestic fallout in south korea over the urgent — fallout in south korea over the urgent message that went out that perhaps— urgent message that went out that perhaps it — urgent message that went out that perhaps it was a little bit too alarming _ perhaps it was a little bit too alarming and was unnecessary. we will see _ alarming and was unnecessary. we will see how that impacts the president there and his administration but the point still stands _ administration but the point still stands that north korea is building its capabilities. this particular

test _ its capabilities. this particular test failed, but presumably they will continue to attempt these tests until it _ will continue to attempt these tests until it succeeds. and forjapan and their perspective, north korea has actually— their perspective, north korea has actually launched several missiles overjapan. in the last 20 years or so. overjapan. in the last 20 years or so and _ overjapan. in the last 20 years or so and so — overjapan. in the last 20 years or so. and so the japanese are keenly focused _ so. and so the japanese are keenly focused on trying to resolve the north— focused on trying to resolve the north korea issue once and for all, hopefully— north korea issue once and for all, hopefully in concert with south korea — hopefully in concert with south korea. there's been a new—found close _ korea. there's been a new—found close partnership there between those _ close partnership there between those two countries as well as of course _ those two countries as well as of course with the us. we those two countries as well as of course with the us.— course with the us. we will be keein: course with the us. we will be keeping an _ course with the us. we will be keeping an eye _ course with the us. we will be keeping an eye on _ course with the us. we will be keeping an eye on the - course with the us. we will be keeping an eye on the summitj course with the us. we will be - keeping an eye on the summit but for the moment, thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank the moment, thank you very much for coming on the programme. now let's turn to the debt ceiling in the us. we've been talking about it here for months on the context and the consequences of a us debt default, but crisis averted. last night, the us senate approved a bill with 63 votes in favour and 36 opposed. and in the last hour, we have learnt thatjoe biden will be signing it into law

as soon as tomorrow. so the deal is done, but the politics are not, with both sides out trying to claim victory. republican house speaker kevin mccarthy is claiming it as a huge result for his party. he's calling it the "biggest spending cut in history". president biden is also pretty happy. he's describing it as a big win for the economy and the american people. he's actually going to deliver a speech to on this in the next few hours. so who really comes out on top? well, joining me to talk about the winners and losers in this debt ceiling agreement is the policy reporter for semaphor, joseph zeballos—roig. thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the programme-— thank you for coming on the programme. thank you for coming on the rouramme. ., ., ., ., programme. thanks for having me on. what is your— programme. thanks for having me on. what is your assessment _ programme. thanks for having me on. what is your assessment of _ programme. thanks for having me on. what is your assessment of winners i what is your assessment of winners and losers here? this what is your assessment of winners and losers here?— and losers here? this is an interesting _ and losers here? this is an interesting fight _ and losers here? this is an interesting fight because i and losers here? this is an| interesting fight because no and losers here? this is an - interesting fight because no one got everything they wanted. both republicans and democrats incredibly same violent victories in the development five. publicans can say

they actually forced joe biden to they actually forced joe biden to the negotiating table which he said he would never do was to go see a over the debt ceiling. he did. democrats can also say that they got the better end of the deal. my own assessment is that i think democrats did score the bigger victory here. since the vast scope of the bipartisan agreement is actually a big sent down from what republicans wanted, democrats will be able to mitigate the impact of the domestic spending cuts and then the resulting work requirements on this safety net programmes are not actually as strange as well because wanted. and democrats were also able to preserve some of their big achievements from last two years, namely the green energy tax credits on the inflation reduction act. energy tax credits on the inflation reduction act-— reduction act. that's really interesting _ reduction act. that's really interesting and _ reduction act. that's really interesting and i'm - reduction act. that's really| interesting and i'm actually reduction act. that's really - interesting and i'm actually mindful here. i do want to ask about a supposed ordinary americans and what is your assessment of who won and who did not there because i don't want to fall into the trap ofjust talking about political ups and downs and the runners and won and who lost in the political class

because of course all these budget and debt spending decisions affect ordinary americans. who are better off or worse off now? l ordinary americans. who are better off or worse off now?— off or worse off now? i think that it's still yet _ off or worse off now? i think that it's still yet to _ off or worse off now? i think that it's still yet to be _ off or worse off now? i think that it's still yet to be seen _ off or worse off now? i think that it's still yet to be seen which - it's still yet to be seen which people are going to beat worse off. there is a spending fight now that will happen in the later part of the year that will basically decide which programmes will get cut if there are any. i will say that some people who did lose out our older americans who rely on food stamp benefits. that is one of the requirement that republicans were able to secure in the deal is basically older americans now up to age 5a, up from a9, are subject to requirements to get food stamps but some of that will be bounced out with exemptions for our veterans, foster youth and homeless people. so those are some groups who will be

immediately better off, but i get i think yet to be seen how these cuts are going to put her down to the american public.— are going to put her down to the american public. really glad we got onto that level _ american public. really glad we got onto that level of _ american public. really glad we got onto that level of detail _ american public. really glad we got onto that level of detail because - onto that level of detail because for the relay that is what truly matters. thank you for that. on the bigger picture again, joe biden, how does he have to play this now when he speaks about it reasonably talking about victory but does not want to beat to celebratory? yeah, so this entire _ want to beat to celebratory? yeah, so this entire class _ want to beat to celebratory? yeah, so this entire class has _ want to beat to celebratory? yeah, so this entire class has actually - so this entire class has actually been a really interesting test of joe biden plus my negotiating approach. he's dealing with a divided government now, republican party has veered sharply towards the right and not the party that he dealt with when he was a senator in congress. he said to strike a careful balance through the entire process and had to assuage democrats that he was not giving with the store and his negotiations also had to avoid angering republicans to the point they would walk away and imperil during the talks or imperil the deal. and in the last few days

we have not seen him beat —— beat his chest and the way to give them a way that kevin mccarthy has but he seemed wary of inflaming the conservatives that mccarthy have to deal with because mccarthy has a relatively weak job security. anybody in the house could basically ask them if they wanted to and white house officials during the talks also council democrats to timber their language and to the bill got through the house and joe biden is more than happy at this moment to let other democrats to the bragging for him. , ., ~ let other democrats to the bragging for him. , ., ,, i. , for him. interesting, thank you very much for coming _ for him. interesting, thank you very much for coming in _ for him. interesting, thank you very much for coming in the _ for him. interesting, thank you very | much for coming in the programme. thanks for having me on. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bringing you different stories from across the uk. two, three... charlotte is from cannock, but has danced competitively all over the world. she opened her dance school in her hometown shortly before the pandemic began. many of charlotte's students compete at a high level, but this weekly dance class has a different purpose,

to get social dances back in the ballroom after the isolation of lockdowns temporarily stopped the music. they are a little family now. they've kind of got together. they all have a laugh. we all have a joke. trish and eric were almost ready to give up dancing before theyjoined this studio. being locked up all those two years, and away from family and everybody and all those problems that come with it, just to go back to dancing even though i'm out of time now, it'sjust been... it's good for us. it's good for our marriage. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. scientists say they've had very promising results from a trial of a blood test that can detect 50 types of cancer. the test is particularly good at spotting where many cancers start, but it's not yet accurate enough to be rolled out. our medical editor fergus

walsh has more details. scientists believe we are edging ever closer to a blood test which can reliably detect and rule out cancer. this one developed by californian company grail. so how does it work? the grail test looks for fragments of cancer dna which have broken off from a tumour and are circulating in the bloodstream. in the biggest trial of its kind, a team at oxford university monitored over 5000 people who went to their gp in england and wales with cancer symptoms. the blood test correctly identified two out of three cancer cases. now what that means for patients is that 75% of those with a positive blood test did have cancer, which was confirmed by conventional methods like scans. but 2.5% who had a negative test also had cancer, which is why researchers described it as "a work in progress", not accurate enough to be used in daily practice.

what's exciting researchers is that where cancer was identified, in 85% of cases, the blood test was able to pinpoint the original site of the cancer. this is crucial, as often people go to their doctor with only vague symptoms like weight loss and abdominal pain. a major trial called nhs galleri is under way with ia0,000 healthy volunteers to see if the blood test can detect early signs of cancer. the first results are due next year, and if successful, the nhs in england plans to extend the roll—out to a further i million people. fergus walsh, bbc news. here in the uk, rail passengers have had to put up with more cancelled trains today. members of the rmt union were on strike over pay and conditions. tomorrow, there will be more as train drivers walk out for the second time this week.

it will make travel difficult forfootball fans heading to london for the fa cup final between manchester united and manchester city. our transport correspondent katy austin is in manchester. the station behind me is usually bustling with activity at this time of day. now it's very quiet, and if you look at the departure boards, you can see why. barely any trains left to depart this station today. things are going to be winding up within the next hour, and it's been a similar picture in many parts of england today, albeit with wide regional variations. train drivers in the aslef union do have another strike tomorrow, and still there's no sign that a resolution to these disputes on the railway is imminent. the bbc has been taking a closer look at how the strikes have impacted the country for nearly a year. the leisure industry has been hard—hit as people cancel trips and holidays or avoid city centre shops, pubs and restaurants. the rmt union, whose members are walking out on strike on friday,

claims that the strikes have cost the uk economy £5 billion, but, of course, the sector most hurt by the strikes is the railway industry itself, with regular travellers telling the bbc they have lost trust and faith in the industry that will be hard to repair. to give more of an insight into how strikes are impacting the uk economy, i am joined by research fellow at the institute of economic affairs and professor of economics at the university of buckingham, len shackleton. thank you for coming on the programme. let's look at the break down here. the leisure industry first. what kind of hit has it been taking? first. what kind of hit has it been takin: ? , ' . ., first. what kind of hit has it been takina? m . ., , taking? difficult to measure this very carefully — taking? difficult to measure this very carefully because there - very carefully because there are kind of— very carefully because there are kind of substitutes. if we don't go into the _ kind of substitutes. if we don't go into the west end to see a play or a film or something, maybe we do

where the train crash has happened and it odisha. we know these are the pictures of train carriages overturned there. we think three trains are involved. the numbers of dead and injured as i'm sure you will understand are not quite certain yet. the afp news agency have reported 50 people dead and a00 injured. these numbers of course we should take with caution because you can just see and imagine the chaos of drying to get accurate information out, whether frankly the rescue operation is still under way. it's the middle of the night there or is it iam perhaps that time in the region and people are still trying to help and get people out and try and transport people to hospitals. so as you know we are keeping across information as it starts to come out of india of that dreadful train crash there. i'm

louis vonjones and this is bbc news. hello there. we've got lots of warm sunshine to come this weekend, but it will be quite cool at night. now, today we saw the sunshine developing in more of the country, even in eastern parts of england, where it's been cloudy over the past few days, the cloud has been much thinner. we've introduced some drier air actually off the north sea all the way from norway. now, there is more cloud in the centre of our high, and eventually that will push across northern scotland and down the north sea, but notjust yet. there's a bit of thin cloud coming in to some parts of england and we've got some cloud in the far north of scotland overnight. but clear skies, a dry night, and a cool night for the time of year. temperatures in england and wales could be as low as four or five degrees,

maybe a little chillier across some eastern areas of scotland. now, this cloud that comes in overnight should tend to break up and we'll see the sunshine coming through. we'll see a little bit of fairweather cloud developing over the high ground in scotland and then perhaps across some southern parts of england. but it looks like it's going to be a dry day. a lot of sunshine around, a little bit warmer probably than today. temperatures widely reaching 20 to 22 degrees. but with that sunshine, it's strong sunshine as well. so we've got high uv levels during saturday and probably into sunday as well where we keep the sunshine. but there is that cloud coming in across northern scotland and then moving back down in the north sea. so we're getting back to square one. more cloud across eastern parts of england in particular. it should tend to retreat back to the coast. some coastal areas could stay cloudy and rather cool, but otherwise a lot of sunshine to come. still breezy in the far south of the uk, and generally still west is best in terms of blue skies and sunshine, and still 16 or 17 along those north sea coasts.

any changes as we head into next week? well, not really. the high pressure is still there, and it's still feeding in the cloud from off the north sea. it could be more extensive across england, i think, on monday. but again, it does tend to retreat back to the coast, but with that onshore breeze just feeding that cloud all the while, but a lot of sunshine around again to start next week. and those temperatures again reaching 23 or 2a degrees at best. and that high pressure will linger right the way through next week. there's no sign of any rain at all, sunshine being the order of the day. some cool nights, but if anything, getting a bit warmer by the end of next week.

what was unwise was the fact that it happened, and that was a very, very grave error. now it was consensual, but it was my fault just wouldn't have this kind of level of aggression and toxicity, and frankly abuse on social media if it had been a heterosexual relationship, but he says it's a clear sign that in 2023, we still got a huge issue with homophobia. welcome to the programme. former tv star phillip schofield, says he feels nothing but sadness
