an absence of a video assistant referee at the olympics meant that the moment could not be reviewed and rutter had to settle for a silver medal. in the statement on her instagram, ruttersaid... west ham united have signed defender aaron wan—bissaka from manchester united for £15 million. the 26—year—old has signed a seven year deal in east london — ending his five year stay at old trafford, with united now expected to sign mazraoui to replace him. wan—bissaka becomes julen lopetegui's eighth signing of the summer with west ham getting their season underway against aston villa on saturday. dutch sprinter sharlotta kool has kept the yellowjersey after stage two of the tour de france fem — she's now won the first

two stages. the first three stages of the women's tour take place in the netherlands. on monday, kool said winning the first stage was the best day of her life. the 25—year—old has followed that up by sprinting to victory in stage two in rotterdam. she leads the race by m seconds although stage 3, a time trial, has just got underway. jimmy anderson believes he "is still fit enough" to continue his cricket career — a month after his retirement from international cricket. anderson played his final game for his country at lord's in england's win against the west indies injuly but has not ruled out a move to white ball cricket. the 42—year—old has taken on a coaching role for his country but has said he is "open" to prolonging his career. anderson's last 20—over match was back in 2014. alexei popyrin beat andrey rublev in straight sets to claim his maiden atp masters title in montreal. he defeated rublev 6—2 6—4 in 90 minutes, denying the russian his second masters title of the season after winning the madrid open in may.

the 25—year—old australian becomes the first to lift a masters title since former world number one lleyton hewitt at indian wells 21 years ago. it feels unbelievable. i kept saying all week that the hard work i have put in over the last few years feels like it is paying off somewhat this week. i played a high level of tennis which i believed that i could play my whole life but to put that into five matches in a row against, sorry, six matches in a row, against high quality opponents is something else and i'm really proud of myself and my team. jessica pegula has made it back—to—back canadian open titles with a 6—3, 2—6, 6—1 win over fellow american amanda anisimova. pegula was made to work for the win in toronto, with suprised finalist anisimova taking the second set. but she recovered to dominate

the third in a match that lasted an hour and 27 minutes. so excited to be here with the trophy again, i really wanted this one, and i know everybody is talking about my record but it is nice to be able to get through the week and to back it up. to be excited, it is an honour, really. —— super excited. and that's all the sport for now. we are having a problem with the autocue. i think ithinki i think i can correct this problem. doctors at government hospitals in several indian states have gone on an "indefinite" strike in protest of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor on friday. the woman's body was found

with multiple injuries in a state—run hospital in west bengal�*s kolkata, where she was a resident doctor. the demonstrations, demanding justice and better workplace security, have now spread to other parts of the country. local media reports say a man who worked at the hospital has been arrested in connection with the case. let's speak to archana shukla who's in mumbai. what more do we know about this dreadful attack on this particular woman? , ., ., ., woman? the 31-year-old “unior doctor, woman? the 31-year-old “unior doctor. a — woman? the 31-year-old “unior doctor, a trainee �* woman? the 31-year-old “unior doctor, a trainee doctor h woman? the 31-year-old junior doctor, a trainee doctor at - woman? the 31-year-old junior doctor, a trainee doctor at the l doctor, a trainee doctor at the hospital, she was a trainee doctor and after her body was found, the investigations have been taking place and a 33—year—old has been arrested. the matter was being handled by the local police but the high court, the calcutta high court

has asked the matter to be moved to the top crime agency of the country in the matter will now be looked at by the top crime agency. this has sparked outrage across the country where all the junior doctors who handled the main patient load in all hospitals, they say it has shaken their trust and they are questioning, white hospitals are not even a safe place to work? —— white hospitals. they are demanding that security is beefed up and there is safety protocols for health care workers at their workplace. there has been a _ workers at their workplace. there has been a number _ workers at their workplace. there has been a number of _ workers at their workplace. there has been a number of cases - workers at their workplace. there has been a number of cases in . workers at their workplace. there has been a number of cases in india, very well publicised cases, of violent attacks against women in a number of different circumstances, and this one impacted hospitals, as you say. the doctors hope that by taking this action it will make their workplace safer but it may also prompt some change? definitely.

this has sparked outrage across the country. junior doctors, even supported by the senior colleagues, are coming out to question if the security arrangements at these government hospitals that cater to more than a0—50% of the health care services in the country, do they have enough security in place for the health care staff? they work their day and night, and that is a big question and there's a lot of pressure being put on the state government as well because after the incident the principle of the medical college where the incident happened resigned and he was moved to another post in another hospital, and questions were raised and even the high court raised the question to the government as to why the top heads have not rolled.— heads have not rolled. thanks for “oininu heads have not rolled. thanks for joining us- _ firefighters in greece say they're

starting to bring wildfires that were threatening the capital athens under control. but officials say two people — including one fire fighter — have been killed. high temperatures and strong winds combined to create a series of blazes, which have now been reduced to scattered hotspots. thousands of people have been evacuted from their homes around the area. lauren moss has the latest. for days, wildfires have scorched the north—eastern suburbs of the greek capital, consuming anything in their path. pockets of fire tore through buildings, decimating flats, houses and cars, leaving burned—out shells behind. soldiersjoined hundreds of firefighters to try and stop the spread of the flames — some leaping more than 25 metres high. the efforts of helicopters hampered by thick smoke. siren wails on the outskirts of athens, thousands of residents fled their homes. others tried to protect their properties with buckets

of water and hoses, like 64—year—old anna. translation: early in the morning, we were constantly receiving - messages telling us to evacuate. we were terrified. we thought the fire would go elsewhere but, suddenly, it came to our homes. we panicked and evacuated then, but now we've returned to save whatever we can. many are picking up the pieces. sakis is 70 and says he's lost everything. translation: my house, it was utterly destroyed. l even the walls fell down. leaving the house, the only thing i cared about was saving my dogs, so i left everything behind — money, belongings, everything. two people are confirmed to have died. according to the health ministry, 66 people have been treated for injuries. greece has just experienced

the warmestjune and july on record. i don't think that people understand how much this is linked to rising heat globally and how much we really have to understand that we have to prepare and build resilience towards climate change and extreme weather phenomena. the worst of the fires have now been reduced to scattered hotspots smouldering in athens and along the coast. with high temperatures showing no real sign of easing, questions remain about how greece can recover and prepare for the devastation this can bring. lauren moss, bbc news. here in the uk, a bbc investigation has found that a priest in blackburn who was assessed as a potential risk to children and young people was given a six—figure pay—off by the church of england. canon andrew hindley was subject to five police investigations, including into allegations of sexual assault — but wasn't charged. he has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. our religion editor aleem maqbool reports.

a cathedral — meant to be a place of harmony and sanctuary — but at its heart a secret, kept out of the public eye for decades, until now. good morning and welcome to blackburn cathedral. for more than 30 years, canon andrew hindley worked in the blackburn diocese. over that time, he faced allegations of abuse, including sexual assault. we've now discovered when he left in 2022, it was with a payoff believed to be around £250,000. when i was first ordained, i imagined that i'd be a priest for ever. rowena pailing was a senior blackburn cathedral priest who resigned in protest at the payoff. the message that that sends to victims and survivors is absolutely horrific. so when there were senior clergy, bishops, saying, "oh, this is wonderful, it's all resolved, a settlement has

been, has been reached", expecting me to be happy, i was devastated. canon hindley faced five police investigations. he was never charged and has always strongly denied any wrongdoing. but risk assessments commissioned by the church itself concluded he did pose a potential risk to children and young people. for years, the church failed to act effectively on the warnings. the first reaction seemed to be one of fear to take it on. joan, not her real name, says her relative made a complaint of sexual misconduct against canon hindley. she won't talk about the allegations themselves, but says herfamily was deeply let down by the church. that fear seemed to revolve around the likelihood that the church could be brought down by this. a former bishop of blackburn even suggested she and herfamily move on. hindley was suspended, but restrictions on him weren't monitored. internal church investigations

into him were dismissed and there were more allegations, as recently as 2018. the institution seemed fearful he would take legal action if he was removed. in the end, canon hindley was forced to retire early and accepted a large payment. the church says it was to settle a legal dispute and was their only option to remove him. i don't think anybody can be quite happy with the way that that situation was resolved. the current bishop of blackburn, philip north, was not in post when the settlement was made and says lessons need to be learned. but what about all the warnings the church had? there is a grey area around risk assessments, and so a priest can have a risk assessment, which can indicate a level of risk and the action, the powers of a diocesan bishop or a dsa are limited. there are people listening who will feel there's no grey area there. if a risk assessment comes along and says children are unsafe around a member of clergy, that's pretty black and white. i completely agree with you.

i suppose the answer would be, but, actually, that priest hasn't done anything yet. it would depend on the findings of the risk assessment, but my view is that if a risk assessment says that a priest is a risk, ishould be able to take action. critics say whatever the state of the church's systems, the priority of its leaders should have been simply to keep people safe by whatever means and whatever the legal consequences. aleem maqbool, bbc news, in blackburn. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

it's a tragedy that continues to fascinate after more than a century. the titanic hit an iceberg and sank in april 1912. the wreckage was only discovered in 1985. since then — more than 5,000 artefacts have been retrieved

from the bottom of the atlantic ocean. many of them are kept in a warehouse in the us state of georgia. our science editor rebecca morelle has been given rare access. relics from the most famous maritime disaster in history. from parts of the ship to passengers' belongings, everything here is a reminder of a tragedy at sea more than 100 years ago. i can't reveal the location of where i am. all i can say is that this warehouse is somewhere in atlanta, because what's inside here is incredibly precious. thousands of items recovered from the titanic, and every single one of them tells a story. this is a really beautiful little fashionable bag. and it belonged to marian meanwell. she was a 63—year—old milliner, which means she did all the little detail work on hats and dresses. she was travelling to the us to be with her daughter, who was recently widowed.

inside it was a medical card. all third—class passengers had to show they weren't bringing disease into the us. but it also reveals a twist of fate. what's really interesting is that we can see she was originally supposed to sail on the majestic. she actually got re—routed onto titanic. so unlucky. i mean, it's amazing this has survived. but you can...there's a photograph. we have very few photographs that survived. but this little picture we think is of her mother, but it's just a little bit of an image of a woman left. so, unfortunately, ms meanwell did not make it. she was one of the people who perished. being able to tell her story and have these objects is really important because, otherwise, you know, 1,500 names, she's just another name on the list. the titanic sank in 1912 and lies at the bottom of the atlantic. all of the items were recovered from a debris field that surrounds the wreck, where the contents of the ship

spilled out as it split apart. so this champagne bottle — we have several others, as well — survived on the floor of the ocean for decades and actually still had its contents inside of it. there's a lot of bottles on the ocean floor and a lot of, like, stock pots and kitchen pots, because titanic actually broke up around one of the kitchens. so itjust kind of littered this debris all over the ocean floor. some artefacts collected from the sea floor also come from those who survived. there was a perfume salesman on board and he actually had over 90 of these little perfume vials. and so you can actually still smell them. that's really — that's mad. after more than 100 years and all that time at the bottom of the ocean, you can still smell the perfume. yeah, and they're still so potent. they belonged to adolf saalfeld, one of 700 people who were rescued from the ship. he was travelling second class. amazingly, he survived. he went on to live in england after the sinking. he had passed by the time we found this, but it's my understanding that he did live with a bit of guilt, survivor's guilt.

titanic was on her maiden voyage, travelling from southampton to the us, when she hit an iceberg. the ship, made from thousands of thick steel plates, was thought to be unsinkable. the items retrieved are put on display in exhibitions around the world. rms titanic inc have the only salvage rights to the ship. what do they say to those who think the wreck�*s a grave site that should be left alone? titanic is something that we want to respect and we want to make sure that we're preserving the memory because not everyone can go down to titanic, not everyone can go to the ship, and we want to be able to bring that to the public. the company's latest expedition has identified more objects they'd like to bring back. who knows what they'll find and the details each item may tell. rebecca morelle, bbc news, atlanta, georgia. banksy has unveiled his ninth animal artwork in as many days — this time at london zoo. the piece shows a gorilla helping other

animals escape from under the shutters at the entrance to the zoo. yesterday an eighth artwork by the elusive artist featuring an rhino mounting a car with a traffic cone on its bonnet was revealed in southeast london. however, it wasn't long before the piece was defaced. a man wearing balackava was caught on camera walking up to the artwork and was seen spray painting it with a graffiti tag. banksy�*s identity remains a closely guarded secret. let's speak now to james peak who is the producer and presenter of the banksy story on bbc radio 4. thanks forjoining us. most of his previous work has had a pretty clear political message, so what do you think the message is behind this? life think the message is behind this? - know that agassi is very keen on animal welfare, know that agassi is very keen on animalwelfare, —— know that agassi is very keen on animal welfare, —— we know that banksy. he helped out a greenpeace campaign a few years ago and it is a perpetual theme of ecology and

concerns about global warming and used to throw cardboard buy cards and throw them into enclosures at various places like longleat, as if to say, i'm the victim of a cruel scientific experiment, so he has got form and we know he is interested in this particular theme.— this particular theme. building up to the final, _ this particular theme. building up to the final, if _ this particular theme. building up to the final, if it _ this particular theme. building up to the final, if it is _ this particular theme. building up to the final, if it is indeed - this particular theme. building up to the final, if it is indeed the - to the final, if it is indeed the final piece, of the gorilla helping animals escape at london zoo, that seems to be the clearest indication of what he is saying? the seems to be the clearest indication of what he is saying?— seems to be the clearest indication of what he is saying? the thing with banksy campaigns. _ of what he is saying? the thing with banksy campaigns, they _ of what he is saying? the thing with banksy campaigns, they often - of what he is saying? the thing with banksy campaigns, they often onlyl banksy campaigns, they often only make sense backwards so if we have got to the end of this particular one, and it feels like we have with this grand great escape, that the gorilla has caused from london zoo, which explains the animals around london in the last week, and that

makes a kind of sense and there is a serious point to it as well. that we are not doing enough to make sure that animals globally have enough space to exist. that said, if you are going to keep animals in captivity you would like to be with the london zoological society because the standards are very high but of course the point remains that it would be best for animals to be free. there's also the about extinction. free. there's also the about extinction-— free. there's also the about extinction. , ., ., extinction. sorry, i was going to ask ou, extinction. sorry, i was going to ask you. have — extinction. sorry, i was going to ask you, have we _ extinction. sorry, i was going to ask you, have we seen - extinction. sorry, i was going to ask you, have we seen as - extinction. sorry, i was going to ask you, have we seen as many| extinction. sorry, i was going to - ask you, have we seen as many pieces ask you, have we seen as many pieces as this in such quick succession before from banksy?— as this in such quick succession before from banksy? yes, we have. in october 2013 — before from banksy? yes, we have. in october 2013 he _ before from banksy? yes, we have. in october 2013 he did _ before from banksy? yes, we have. in october 2013 he did a _ before from banksy? yes, we have. in october 2013 he did a brilliant - october 2013 he did a brilliant thing called better out than in, 31 days of work in new york in the five boroughs and what he said, i am now the artist in residence in new york and he went around the five boroughs

but nevertheless it's going to give quite a damp afternoon through wales, the south west, northern england. clearing scotland, but showers follow on here. a scattering of showers as well for northern ireland. some sunshine too and a fresher feel, but still very warm where we keep the sunshine. in the midlands, east anglia, the south east 28, possibly 29. but as we go through this evening and overnight, that rain band slowly pushes eastwards. so less chance of seeing the aurora borealis or indeed the perseid meteor shower here, but clearer skies further north and west, and a better chance here. and a fresher night. actually, it'll be a slightly warmer night than last night for the south and east because of the cloud cover, which will still be with us tomorrow morning. could be a bit misty and damp underneath this rain band. a few showers. they could be sharp or thundery through this evening and overnight. easing away tomorrow. but the cloud takes its time. much, much drier though, as you can see for scotland, northern ireland, northern england, wales and the southwest. yes, a fresher feel, but in that sunshine feeling pleasant enough. quite warm despite the cloud

further south and east. now, as we go through wednesday, there's that ridge of high pressure and that starts to topple away. so it's a dry spell in the north just for a day, because more rain on this weather front is coming in for thursday. so it does look really quite wet for parts of scotland, northern ireland, northern england again, parts of wales, pulses of heavy rain along that weather system. it does brighten to the north later and it may well stay mostly dry, bright but increasingly cloudy further south and east and warm still. again, we'rejust tapping into some warmer southwesterly winds rather than the atlantic westerly, and that rain could still hang around across southern areas into friday. in fact, we could see some heavier rain, a few showers to the north, but actually again further north mostly fine and dry on friday and feeling pleasant enough in the sunshine. as ever, you can find out more on the website. but from me, bye bye for now.
