9:38 pm
against foreign firms, both us and european. the us seeks healthy economic competition with china. but healthy economic competition where both sides benefit is only sustainable if that competition is fair. during meetings with my counterparts and communicating the concerns that i've heard from the us business community, including china's use of nonmarket tools like expanded subsidies for its data enterprises and domestic firms as well as barriers to market access for foreign firms. i've been particularly troubled by punitive actions that have been taken against us firms in recent months. live now to washington — wendy culter is the vice president of the asia society policy institute.

thank you very much for being with us. there is a tit—for—tat going on here, the end biden administration just this week that limits on semiconductors, that it will limit the export of certain critical minerals. is it a bit rich for them to point the finger at china? he. to point the finger at china? no, this is something _ to point the finger at china? idrr, this is something totally expected and that they need to be very direct about. of course, china is going to strike back and list its long list of complaints and all of her meetings as well. irate of complaints and all of her meetings as well. of complaints and all of her meetinas as well. ~ ~' ., ., meetings as well. we know, we have already seen — meetings as well. we know, we have already seen the _ meetings as well. we know, we have already seen the evidence _ meetings as well. we know, we have already seen the evidence that - already seen the evidence that neither country really benefits from the decoupling or the disrupting of supply chains. is there an argument that if we were to take down the temperature at an economic level, and maybe there is a role to be played and that, then maybe we are in a better place to negotiate and influence china's security policy. she's clearly trying to take the temperature down. she's mentioned to her her chinese counterpart already
9:40 pm
that the us is not seeking decoupling. i think she used the words it would be destabilising and in fact impossible, that what we are looking to do is what she is calling targeted selective measures for national security purposes. she's trying to convince china that, yes, we have restrictions, but it is in a limited area, and these measures are justified, but there are a lot of other areas in our economic and trade relationship where both countries can cooperate. areas as well where they are not cooperating. they've already picked up i think five chinese nationals who are working for the means group. how concerned you think the white house is about that? i know the state department has issued a warning to americans working in china. the department has issued a warning to americans working in china.- americans working in china. the us is very concerned _ americans working in china. the us is very concerned and _ americans working in china. the us is very concerned and the _ americans working in china. the us is very concerned and the us - is very concerned and the us business community which used to be the strongest advocate for strong us

china relations is raising its concerns to secretary allen and expressing concerns about this uncertain almost a dangerous business environment that they are now forced to operate in. so they are asking her and she's turning around and asking china to kind of lay off that stuff, and if you want to improve your economy, let's explore ways where we can cooperate. i wonder what you make of all of this. there was an old policy where we were open arms to china, the best thought that if they open their arms and the economies are to thrive mutually, then the culture would change, and it didn't. sol mutually, then the culture would change, and it didn't. so i wonder what you make of that trip and whether it is appropriate. louise to look the other _ whether it is appropriate. louise to look the other way. _ whether it is appropriate. louise to look the other way. every - whether it is appropriate. louise to look the other way. every step - whether it is appropriate. louise to look the other way. every step of. look the other way. every step of the way it when we let china in the world trade organization. when they broke a promise we gave them our time. the relationship is very much one—sided and it wasn't until president trump came in. they are
9:42 pm
doing what they need to do. the relationship is very sorry between both countries. countries are talking about the risking, from a corporate standpoint, they have a right to do what is best for the shareholders, and if there is a risk in china, that is bad for the shareholders, so you see more and more conversations about the risk which is separating her economies, separating your investments. we are down a very, very dangerous and bad, in my view, very bad trail. we need to work with china and partner with an. they are doing great work and she is going to do more. secretary blink was recently there. we can only hope thatjoe biden stays on message this time it doesn't call president she a dictator again. that was completely un—productive. if it was completely un-productive. if it doesnt was completely un-productive. if it doesn't no was completely un—productive. if it doesn't go the right way, then would you agree we are likely to see more of that state interference in both

from the bbc sport centre... it's been a bad day for the british players left in the men's draw — home favourites andy murray and cam norrie are out, more on that in a moment, because the defending champion novak djokovic is in action right now on centre court. djokovic is two sets up against stan wawrinka — winning the first 6 games to 3, the second, a convicing 6—1. the serb, who's the second seed at this year's championships — is looking to equal the all—time record of roger federer, with his 8th title at wimbledon. two sets up in that match, and he looks to close out this match chair with the third set to go through to the next round. before that match — the women's number one, iga swiatek, has levelled her best ever performance at wimbledon, by making round four. she beat petra martic, 6—2, 7—5... swiatek faces the olympic champions belinda bencic next, as she looks to make the second week
9:52 pm
of the championships. andy murray's run at wimbledon has come to an end. he had led by two sets to one overnight in his second round match against the fifth seed stefanos tsitsipas, but was overhauled when they resumed this afternoon, with murray losing in five sets. there was a pivotal and nervy tie breaker in the fourth, which tsitsipas took to take this match to a decider. he's looking to win a grand slam title for the first time after reaching the australian open final injanuary. one break was enough for the greek player in the fifth and final set, he took that 6—4. this year is the tenth anniversary of murray's first wimbledon triumph, and the briton, who turned 36 earlier this year, admitted a second round exit was tough to take. i don't know right now. you know, i put a lot into this year and preparing for wimbledon. right now, i don't know. you know, i'm not...
9:53 pm
yeah, losing in the second round of wimbledon is not... i don't find that to motivating. that's not why i put all of the work in. you know, i want to be winning those matches and i had a good chance here of having a really good run. the miserable day for british players continued with cam norrie, who reached the semi—finals last year, was knocked out by the chris eubanks. norrie lost in four sets to the american world number 43, making his debut at wimbledon. liam broady�*s impressive wimbledon run is over, he was beaten in the third round by denis shapovalov. the british no 5 had a dream centre court victory over fourth seed casper ruud yesterday — but was unable to produce another shock, going down 4-6, 6-2, 7-5, 7-5. england are still in the fight, in the third ashes test against australia at headingley after failing to take advantage with the bat earlier — they managed to claim some crucial and big wickets by the close of day.
9:54 pm
australia lead by 142 runs with 6 wickets remaining in their second innings. joe wilson was watching. skimmed the details and crickets, summer it's all comes back to ben stokes. at the others have fallen, his job is to stokes. at the others have fallen, hisjob is to rescue stokes. at the others have fallen, his job is to rescue the to keeping in close to australia's square to keep england in the ashes. but he's carrying injuries. he knew that was going to a field there, but something about his batting intimidates even the australians, missed it. australia picked a young spin bowler. this was todd murphy's headingley education. ben stokes to 50 for then pass 200 and spectators to their feet. that's what ben stokes does. he had five sixes and made 80 and when england were all out, they werejust made 80 and when england were all out, they were just 26 runs made 80 and when england were all out, they werejust 26 runs behind. the game was still alive. so australia in the second inning set out to just batch normally,

sensibly, to build their lead, but the ashes does funny things to even the ashes does funny things to even the best players. on 33, he had this directly to harry brook waiting by the boundary. he didn't know. why would steve smith placed his shot into the hands of ben duckett? england missed some chances, took this, smith out for two between you and johnny their style, a certain conversation along the lines of see you later, we gather. a big moment before the close, the excellent was dismissed for 43. australia 142 runs ahead but england had four wickets, and they have stokes and they have hope. joe wilson, bbc news, headingley. at the tour de france, it was almost a record—breaking day for mark cavendish. with the finish line of the seventh stage in sight, the british rider made his move — attacking the front and he looked on course for victory — and a record 35th stage win. butjasper philipsen had other ideas — as the belgian snatched his third stage win of this year's tour. defending championjonas vingegaard

retained the overall leader's yellow jersey and that's all the sport for now. we will be back with more later on. see you then. hello there. we had quite a mixed weather picture for friday, certainly for scotland and northern ireland. we started the day with rather grey and cloudy skies, like these. and the rain that we had that started on thursday lasted into the first part of friday morning, bringing about a third of a month's worth of rain in places, so it was really quite a wet spell of weather. even as that cleared, there were just one or two showers that followed through through the afternoon, but generally, the weather at least did turn brighter. further south across england, wales, different story — lots of sunshine, both morning and afternoon, and blue sunny skies like these in eastbourne were really commonplace. it was also a hot day across parts of eastern england. that's where we had the highest temperatures, with highs hitting the 30—degree mark in london's stjames's park, but 28 there for hull and for cambridge as well.
9:57 pm
overnight tonight, we'll keep those dry weather conditions going for the vast majority of the uk. it's a night where, well, it's going to be quite warm, really, with temperatures for northern ireland, england and wales, about 18—20 degrees for our towns and cities. a bit fresher and more comfortable in scotland. tomorrow, well, it should be a fine and sunny start to the day, but showers get going quickly for northern ireland, wales and western england. they'll turn thundery through the morning, and then into the afternoon, those storms start to leap northwards into northern england and scotland as well, with some really torrential downpours possible. now, in the heaviest of those downpours, we could see around 50 millimetres of rain in the space ofjust a few hours, and that could bring some communities flash flooding. but there'll be others at the same time, they completely dodge the rain and stay dry, with sunny weather all day. now, the highest temperature is probably again across eastern england — upper 20s here — but 27 or so for northern scotland, where it's going to be a warmer day overall compared with friday. at the wimbledon tennis championships, yes, you might well see a rain delay.
9:58 pm
there could be some showers around, but they could turn up just about any time. now, saturday, night—time thunderstorms work across northern england and scotland. lots of thunder and lightning in these still with some hefty downpours, and those storms still around for the first part of sunday, clearing northwards out of the way. might also see some storms come up from france to clipper eastern england. otherwise, a dry and sunny morning with showers developing from the south and west into the afternoon with a few thunderstorms around. overall, temperatures a little bit lower, generally low—to—mid 20s, and a fresher feel to the weather as well.
