and australia 288 for 3. ben stokeses took a catch. the umpire said not out, that was steve smith reprieved and i wonder the clouds behind me, the flood lights, what part of the weather may play as the game moves on this afternoon. joe, we are wondering about the weather, joe, we are wondering about the weather, thank you. time for a look at the weather. here's stav da naos. knot good today or wednesday for the cricket, but low pressure will be dominating our weather for the rest of this week, it has been very wet, so farfor many of this week, it has been very wet, so far for many areas through of this week, it has been very wet, so far for many areas throuthuly. the skies above so far for many areas through july. the skies above lynmouth so far for many areas throuthuly. the skies above lynmouth in so far for many areas through july. the skies above lynmouth in devon depict what it is like across the uk at the moment, outbreaks of fairly heavy rain in place, and will continue with low pressure dominating through the week and feeling cool for the time of year, i mentioned july has been very wet. record—breakingly so for some areas, we have seen double the amount we

formally see, preston lancashire three times the amount of rain that we usually see in a normaljuly. there is more to come to start august this is the area of low pressure. sitting across us at the moment bringing cloudy sky, breezy conditions across southern britain. barely any sunshine round, probably the best, the far north of scotland into the northern isles, elsewhere, it is wet, widespread rain here and there, some drier interludes but it will stay cloudy, winds will be lighter across the north of the country. breezy in southern britain particularly through the channel there, so of course all that cloud, there, so of course all that cloud, the wind, the rain will impact the temperature, the high teensjust about low 20s in the south, feeling humid and muggy, murky in the south. as we move through this evening, that pressure clears out to the north sea, so conditions improve a bit. we will see clearer spills. and and a muggy feel to things in the south, the low to mid teen, a bit lower than that further north, so

tuesday a bit quieter, i think h looks like we should see more sunshine round, the cloud breaking in scotland. we will a zone of cloudier wet weather in northern england, and it is not looking too bad, it should be drier, the temperatures the high earthquake 22 in the south, the high teens in the north but it doesn't lasts, here comes the next system, this is unusually deep for early august. bringing gales across the south, heavy rain at times so that is a messy picture for early august. again, probably northern scotland seeing the best of the conditions with sunshine but elsewhere, england and wales, heavy thundery rain and we will see gales through the channel. gust inland 30,1i0mph, up to 45mph, so that will impact the temperatures again, high teens for mosts, could see 20 or 21. it stays unsettled. another area of low pressure arriving in time for 2 weekend.

thank you and that's bbc news at 0ne. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc website. the news continues here on bbc one, as now it's time to join our hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm paul scott live at the bbc sport centre. our top stories. the hosts take early wickets, but australia close in on a first ashes series win in england for more than 20 years. meanwhile, co—hosts australia are through to the last 16 of the women's world cup in emphatic fashion as they see off canada. and scotland and wales fall to defeats at the netball world cup — later it's england's turn as they take on tonga.

the final ashes test looks set to go to the wire — weather permitting at the 0val. australia are chasing an unlikely target of 384 to win on the final day — and they are giving it a very good go. joe wilson is there. absolutely, do we say the session was a tale of two halves, the first to england, the second to australia. the floodlights are on and the first hour seemed idealfor the floodlights are on and the first hour seemed ideal for bowling. the floodlights are on and the first hour seemed idealfor bowling. here are the wickets that fell. chris woakes played early on. the first man to fall was david warner caught behind. gone for 60. we assume that is the last time we will see david

warner in the ashes. he has not retired yet. azman khawaja looked strong yesterday, england must have been wondering how to get rid of him. chris woakes came in again. he had made 72. a straightforward lbw decision. two down. immediate success for england, exactly what they could not do yesterday. the third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejust i3. third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejusti3. it third man to fall was marnus labuschagne. he madejust 13. it was the extra pace of mark wood and a catch by crawley. three early wickets for england, exactly what they wanted. it seemed they had another, ten minutes ago, steve smith batting, the ball leapt off his glove, stokes leaping for the

catch. it seemed like a clean catch except when we saw it more closely on the replay, as his arm came down, almost throwing the ball up in celebration, the ball came out. the umpire ruled he did not have that catch under control. i think it was fair but it means australia are just three wickets down at needing 146 to win. if the weather holds, i can only foresee a thrilling finish. never a dull moment. co—hosts australia are through to the last 16 of the women's world cup. they ran out comfortable 4—0 winners against canada, to top group b. jane dougall is in adelaide, where england conclude their group tomorrow, and joins us now. jane, good news for the tournament that at least one host has made it through. yes, what a roller—coaster it has been already for australia, with the

initial bad news of their star player sam kerr being out for the first two matches with a calf injury. they struggled especially in their second match against nigeria where they lost, a shock defeat, 3-2. the where they lost, a shock defeat, 3—2. the canada match they have just finished has more than made up for it, 4-0, finished has more than made up for it, 4—0, two goals from hayley raso, and a penalty. that ensured that australia finish top of their group. lots of celebrations from the players in front of a home crowd. sam kerr, good news, she was available to play in that match, but they did not need her, she stayed on they did not need her, she stayed on the bench. why would you risk her when you have such a convincing win? the other game in the group b was between nigeria and ireland, that finished 0—0. ireland have scrapped

so much but we knew they were out already because they lost to australia, and their second match as well. we knew they were out. but nigeria although they were held to a draw, that means that they have finished second, so they are also through, along with australia, because canada have lost in that group. an interesting outcome. the permutations start to be examined as to who will play whom in the knockout stages. australia will play england if england finished second in their group. if england beat china tomorrow in adelaide and top their group, then they will play nigeria. they will have to do that without one of their star players, keira walsh, who was stretchered off against denmark with a knee injury. we know already she will not play tomorrow against china. we don't know the extent of her injury and we don't know if she will be ruled out

for the remainder of the tournament. if so, that will be devastating for england, she is one of their best players. the england manager was asked whether that would be the case and that she held her cards close to her chest. all she was not an anterior cruciate ligament which is one of the worst injuries to your needs. we still do not know if she will be involved at any other point. we spoke to one of her closest friends georgia stanway who said she had spoken at length to keira walsh about her injury and said she was in good spirits. it is always difficult in that moment to see your team—mate but my best friend — moment to see your team—mate but my best friend as — moment to see your team—mate but my best friend as well go down in such pain _ best friend as well go down in such pain for— best friend as well go down in such pain. forthe best friend as well go down in such pain. for the first second she was telling _ pain. for the first second she was telling me — pain. for the first second she was telling me to get off and within a few minutes we were laughing. the funny— few minutes we were laughing. the funny thing was that was the most embarrassing thing for her, the fact

against. an emphatic win for them, they top their group. japan could be they top their group. japan could be the dark horses of this tournament. the second group stage of the netball world cup is under way in south africa. scotland went down earlier today to world number one ranked side australia. scotland were dominated in the opening two quarters, losing 21—9 and then 22—8, as australia capitalised on their superiority, with a 90% shooting accuracy. the thistles did put some pressure on their opponents in the third and continued to largely frustrate in the final quarter, but the damage had already been done. 76—37 the final score. we got all 12 today, fantastic passages of play and explosions. all part of— passages of play and explosions. all part of the _ passages of play and explosions. all part of the learning experience for a young _ part of the learning experience for a young team which has learnt a lot today~ _ a young team which has learnt a lot

goodbye. hello and welcome back, this is bbc news. lets head back to our top story. researchers say china is pressuring uyghurs living abroad to spy on human rights campaigners — by threatening their families back home. refugees and activists say it's a tactic that's tearing communities apart. 0ne refugee living in the uk told bbc newsnight�*s sam judah about his experience. a demonstration outside the foreign office with a dark twist. these uyghurs want the government to speak up about human rights abuses in china. but someone has been asked to infiltrate their ranks, gather intelligence and send details

to the chinese authorities. we're calling him alim and concealing his identity. he's a refugee living in the uk. it was an audio call through wechat. when they called me, i recorded it with my other phone. alim has shared recordings of those calls. we've adapted a few to mask key details. we paid a visit to your family in xinjiang. my colleague collected their details. if you want to see them, i can set up a video call. yes, please arrange that. i just want to talk to them and find out how they are. i won't ask about anything else. 0k. no problem. i'll arrange that for you. alim was granted a very unusual video call with his mother. the officer connected them by holding two mobile phones facing each other. he used one phone to connect with my mother, and then he used another phone to contact me, allowing me to see my mother through his screen.

when i saw my mother, i couldn't contain my emotions. it had been six to seven years since i last saw her, and it was an incredibly heart—wrenching moment. there was a price to pay. the officer wanted something in return. we've heard that the uyghur activists are planning to meet next month. we want you to attend and find out what they say, especially the leaders. we know who they are. they took my family hostage, putting me through this ordeal. even though i may appear fine on the outside. 0n the inside, i'm suffering. a report published this year says two thirds of the 400 uyghurs living in the uk have been approached directly by chinese police and asked to inform on their peers, cease advocacy work, or stop speaking to the media. this is about the way the chinese government harasses and threatens uyghur people abroad and tries to control their daily activities

and their friendships.
