9:35 pm
doesn't seem to be any prospect out of it. what do they have in the can in the studios? how many programmes are ready to go this autumn or are we all going to have to feast on the roll—out of reality television? you roll-out of reality television? you will have to _ roll-out of reality television? you will have to feast _ roll-out of reality television? you will have to feast on _ roll—out of reality television? gm, will have to feast on that game shows was up what is interesting, if you ever go into the netflix, opening up and look around, do you ever noticed that some of the top ten shows that you see are not new was back they are actually old. more recently i do. think about that. they always have old shows. there's not a shortage of content without it may be a shortage of new content, new episodes. if that is what the public only wants, they only want to do episodes that you are going to really see the studios hit hard in terms of their subscriber numbers coming down for their streaming platforms. if all you want is content and you don't mind watching the last season of succession,
9:36 pm
disease and before that over and over that you might not have as big of a problem. we over that you might not have as big of a problem-— over that you might not have as big of a roblem. ~ ., ~ , ., of a problem. we were talking before ou “oined of a problem. we were talking before you joined us — of a problem. we were talking before you joined us about _ of a problem. we were talking before you joined us about the _ of a problem. we were talking before you joined us about the ads _ of a problem. we were talking before you joined us about the ads sell - of a problem. we were talking before you joined us about the ads sell for l you joined us about the ads sell for the autumn and apparently is not been as promising as it should be. that complicates things further when the actors and writers want a financial deal and the studios are finding it even tougher. does that mean... we've heard from disney saying they're just not on this planet the sort of demands that they want. how do they come to an agreement if the studios don't have the money? i agreement if the studios don't have the money?— the money? i think people have to realise that when _ the money? i think people have to realise that when people - the money? i think people have to realise that when people were - realise that when people were working for major tv networks things were different, the contracts were different. the streaming platforms came on and they changed everything. in terms of how many episodes you're getting, how soon you're getting them and everything else. so the contracts haven't really kept up. the amount and the percentage of what actors are getting and writers
9:37 pm
from their shows that air maybe six orseven from their shows that air maybe six or seven episodes per season versus or seven episodes per season versus 20 or seven episodes per season versus 20 episodes per season for a network has definitely changed. i don't know how they come to the middle. there's not even a date for them to come back to the table and attempt to negotiate. you got the actors and writers talking about artificial intelligence, they're talking about a greater percentage of their residuals, talking about bringing more writers into the writing room for the over here you have a lot of studios saying they don't have anything to give. i think you remembered where it happened at the press conference and they had of sag actors, she is to be a factor in that show the nanny and said one of the salaries of the ceos was over $20 million or they find it hard to believe that a lot of the streaming platforms or studio heads are making millions of dollars, some in the upwards of $20 million but can't afford to pay the writers or the

you needed to make sure you survived before you can think of anything else. along myjourney coming over, it wasn't easy for me. 12, 13 on myjourney, i've seen things i shouldn't have as a young child. after travelling to the uk, he was given asylum—seeker status and began a new life in gloucester. shabir's a really big part of a community now. he's at the fight factory and they're all like a big family, really. and the kids he trains and the people he trains, it'sjust changed his life. now shabir wants to give something back to the community which he says has done so much to welcome him. by coaching young people, he hopes they'll be inspired about their own futures. for more stories from across the uk, head to the bbc news website. you're live with bbc news. the bbc has discovered that major airlines are charging some disabled passengers double to fly
9:41 pm
from the uk. for safety reasons, it is compulsory on many airlines for any passenger with mobility problems to travel with a personal care assistant, for which they charge full price for the additionalfare. the civil aviation authority upheld eu law post—brexit, which means airlines are supposed to subsidise the cost. disabled people say the current measures are discriminatory and are stopping them from flying. bbc news has contacted over 100 airlines, including all those that fly from heathrow, to find out how many insist on a pa and whether they offer a discount. and this is what they found. 0nly pakistan international airlines offered pa discounts for both international and domestic travel. a0 carriers, including turkish airlines and delta, do not clearly set out how much it costs, nor whether the individual or the airline should pay. strikingly, around a third of airlines confirmed that they require passengers with mobility problems to purchase an additional pa
9:42 pm
ticket at full price, including emirates, etihad airways, american, virgin atlantic, easyjet, ryanair and jet2. josh wintersgill is an adviser to the airlines. he's also disabled. welcome to the programme. you get spinal muscular atrophy so you been in a wheelchair from a very young age was that what is your experience of this? , . ~ �* of this? christian, ithink i've been one _ of this? christian, ithink i've been one of— of this? christian, ithink i've been one of the _ of this? christian, ithink i've been one of the more - of this? christian, i think i've i been one of the more fortunate of this? christian, i think i've - been one of the more fortunate ones to travel but managed to come out unscathed in a lot of cases. but unfortunately, this is a real big issue for many people around the world that we are in the 21st century and it's time for greater and better alignment of international to ensure carriers are providing clear and consistent information to travellers when it comes to flying with pas. unfortunately, a lot of the times
9:43 pm
it's based on safety grounds and a lot of this is decided internally on the day around the airlines deciding whether or not someone is safe to fly. it's a trade—off between if somebody says they're 0k versus an airlines consideration this is where there is a very grey area. we do need to call on the industry as a whole to provide better clarity on this issue. , , , ., this issue. just so i understand josh, this issue. just so i understand josh. please — this issue. just so i understand josh, please excuse _ this issue. just so i understand josh, please excuse my - this issue. just so i understand - josh, please excuse my inexperience. are you saying it's more difficult for airlines —— ignorance. then perhaps people who are not very good on their feet? maybe they elderly patients who might also need a pa, is at the distinction you are talking about and is not clearly set out what they want?— talking about and is not clearly set out what they want? based on safety rounds out what they want? based on safety . rounds for out what they want? based on safety grounds for people _ out what they want? based on safety grounds for people in _ out what they want? based on safety grounds for people in wheelchairs . grounds for people in wheelchairs there is a real issue around the understanding of whether or not someone can travel on their own. in terms of the elderly it is a mixed

9:51 pm
whereas england's batting was swashbuckling, it was far more attritional from australia, but it mayjust be effective enough. here's more from our correspondentjoe wilson. it was gloomy above the oval certainly at the start of the second day. for it seemed that shirley didn't know how to approach their innings so that they reallyjust got stuck for them took a stunning catch, one headed from joe root for the pen for a while we could sell pretty steadily. steve smith having survived a millimetre run out decision then took control for a well for australia until he hit the ball straight up into the air. they are still held the cat that he was gone for 71. changing later in the day with some tail and hitting. murray and cummings took a great catch on the boundary from ben stokes to finally get rid of the australian captain england will bat on day three in their second innings for the 12 runs behind. i think we know who they will bad positively and we already know there is so
9:52 pm
little to choose between these two teams. so here's the state of play heading into day three. chris woakes the pick of england's bowlers, finishing with three wickets for 61 runs. they were both offer 295. as a day went on we started making inroads, 150—5. we thought we could maybe get a lead going into the second and ends with it but it was not the case. we just have to back ourselves now, back the way we did we just have to back ourselves now, bat the way we did in the first innings looked the path that we were brilliant in the first innings, went out there with positive attitude, definitely did a lot on the first day. hopefully it will flatten out again tomorrow we can make it. england women's head coach sarina wiegman admits she is concerned about the extent of the injury to kiera walsh after the midfielder suffered a nasty—looking knee injury in their latest world cup match. their match against denmark started well enough — laurenjames' early goal enough to give them a 1—0 victory, but it came at a price,
9:53 pm
walsh having to leave the pitch via a stretcher. and it remains to be seen whether she'll be fit to play again this tournament. england must avoid defeat to china in theirfinal match to reach the last 16. of course i'm concerned because she couldn't walk off the pitch. we don't know yet so we can't take any assumptions. let's just wait until we really have a diagnosis and then we can tell you. it's not nice when a player goes off the pitch that way. but we also know unfortunately, these things happen sometimes in football. you have to move on, you are at the world cup and you want to win that game so we really have to adapt to a new situation as quick as possible. that's what we did. one other football line for you — manchester united have rejected a £20 million offer from west ham for england defender harry maguire. the centre half has fallen down the pecking order at old trafford and was stripped
9:54 pm
of the captaincy this summer. united are prepared to listen to offers that meet their valuation of maguire. ferrari's charles leclerc will start on pole position for sunday's belgian grand prix. championship leader max verstappen was quickest in qualifying by nearly a second, but will take a grid penalty for sunday's race. lewis hamilton will start third. qualifying took place today because tomorrow has a sprint race. following their shock defeat to leigh leopards in the challenge cup last weekend, st helens have got back to winning ways in the super league. despite being hit with a spate of injuries to key players, saints showed why they are defending champions with a narrow win over leeds thanks to a brace from jack welsby. that thrilling solo effort sealed victory. elsewhere, hull kr beat castleford tigers 34—16. to the opening day of the netball world cup where england made an impressive start — thrashing barbados 90 points to 29 they scored more than 20 points in each quarter. the roses are back in action tomorrow — when they face malawi — who beat scotland 55—49. wales also lost, beaten by the hosts south africa.
9:55 pm
after winning gold in tokyo two years ago — great britain's men's 4 by 200m freestyle relay team are now world champions too. the quartet of duncan scott, matt richards, james guy and tom deanjust edged out the united states byjust under a second to secure gb's second gold of the world aquatics championships injapan. and emma norsgaard produced a stunning effort from the breakaway to win stage 6 of the tour de france femmes. the dane held off the peleton to give her movistar team their second win at this year's tour. belgian lotte kopecky finished third and leads the race byjust under a minute ahead of tomorrow's crucial climb up the col du tourmalet. and that's all the sport for now. hello. friday was a pleasant enough day for most of us. just a few showers here and there. but how about the weekend? it is looking a little
9:56 pm
on the unsettled side but i don't think it is going to be as bad as last weekend. last weekend, at least saturday for some of us was an absolute write—off without persistent rain and the strong winds. but on the satellite picture, low pressure is close by — and a fair amount of cloud and low pressures are heading our way. in fact, over the next few days, we will see a succession of lows sweeping across the country. here is the picture early in the morning, not particularly cold, 13—15 degrees celsius. sunny spells, already a few scattered showers, some of them on the heavy side. and actually, as we go through the course of the morning, into the afternoon, the showers may become more frequent, particularly in northern ireland, scotland and northern england. least frequent showers i think the further south and south—east you are. so frequent sunny spells here. and temperatures up to about 22 celsius in norwich, high teens expected in belfast and through the lowlands of scotland. how does that bode for the cricket? well, certainly showers on the cards, and of course it is scheduled until monday. i think showers are expected
9:57 pm
until then as well. here is the picture for sunday. jet stream across the atlantic, another low heading our way and the weather front at this stage in the morning approaching ireland with more persistent outbreaks of rain, then reaching the south—west of wales. but it is not cloudy and wet everywhere, farfrom it. in fact, across much of northern england and scotland, there will be plenty of bright weather and actually quite sunny there in aberdeen and stornoway. with highs of up to about 18 celsius. i mentioned at the beginning of the forecast that there is a succession of low pressure is heading our way. and indeed, thejet stream is pointing right at us. look at all that rainfall, and notjust here in the uk but right across europe. further south in the mediterranean, it is going to be dry. so how wet it hasjuly been? because it has been wet. in fact, in northern ireland, 184% of the average rainfall. and in england, about 163% of the average. but of course that does vary from region to region. so here is the outlook for the weekend and into next week.
