in a shotput event oran archer in basket all in a shotput event or an archer in a basketball event,e. they each have specific strengths and talents and people in some ways self—selected for the events they are most suited for and i don't see caster semenya ‘s in any way different to that. you could argue, though, that competitive sport is an artificial construct in itself, we dictate all kinds of things about who can compete and how they can compete, what rules they can compete, what rules they have to be under. if you go for that, you submit to those rules. i think that's fair. dog barks. sorry about the dog. the dog has another opinion on this. sport is an artificial construct but as we are saying here, as the court has done, if caster semenya com petes has done, if caster semenya competes in some events, she has to undergo medical intervention but in other events, she doesn't but that kind of illustrates just how artificial these constructs are andi artificial these constructs are and i think we should be far more concerned about opening the gate to permit considerable interferen

the england players are getting to know jofra archer.team. people are enjoying his company, his cricket, i do not think that is a problem. right selection but a hard one, that's the captain's opinion. it's certainly one of the toughest decisions that i've ever been a part of. when you are together as a group for so long, and you've been on this journey, you've shared a lot of memories together, making tough decisions for the benefit of the squad, i think, is the way that you look at it. well, england's one—day cricketers are in great form. they've just won four games against pakistan. for the world cup, they've also brought in spin bowler liam dawson, who wasn't even part of the squad for those games against pakistan. that may be tinkering rather than panicking, but the expectation is clear — this year, for the first time, england's men's cricketers should win the world cup. basically, that's whatjofra archer is there to do. joe wilson, bbc news, at lord's. time for a look at the weather, here's mel coles. good afternoon. if you like the

archer was four weeks old when his unexplained body movements began.sively got worse as the days and the weeks went on. horrible, horrific. unbelievably hard. we were exhausted, we were worried sick. diagnosis proved difficult. the times it was happening — usually, they weren't happening in front of any medical professionals. by this point, we had accumulated quite a lot of videos of these movements, trying to show doctors what was going on. thanks to a new, secure digital platform, professor sameer zuberi at glasgow's royal hospital for children was able to see them. when i saw the videos, - i could see that they were a type of seizure called infantile spasms. |they're one of the types of epilepsy that can be associated with learning problems if you don't treat rapidly enough. j so archer was admitted to hospital, he was started on treatment - and happily, since then, - his seizures have been controlled and he's developing well. epilepsy affects around 400,000 people in the uk. it's caused by unusual bursts of electrical activity in the brain. it can

the barbados—born pace bowler jofra archer has missed out on england's preliminary squad for the cricket cup — but he has been given the chance to force his way into the side. he's been given his his first call up to the one—day squad for a couple of warm up games. here's our cricket correspondent jonathan agnew. well, it's a good full setting here at lord's where the final will be played on july 1a and at lord's where the final will be played onjuly14 and england took the first step today in naming the squad they hope will be here. they are pretournament favourites, they hope they will lift the trophy here at the end of the final so i ate as much as expected and i think the 15 man preliminary squad, but there is a tantalising prospect ofjofra archer, this highly talented 24—year—old all—rounder who has been setting t20 cricket alight. they have given him the chance to do the same to build up for the world cup squad. as you know, some of england's players have been there 110w england's players have been there now for years. they are feeling u nsettled now for years. they are feeling unse

a trip down memory lane with jeffrey archer! this you lot are?mory lane withjeffrey archer! this is something that the time has come. local councils have been lobbying through our local government association for many, many years now for this power. government has a lwa ys for this power. government has always been reluctant, they don't wa nt to always been reluctant, they don't want to see utility companies too penalised, driving up costs and things like that. presumably they're a little worried that this is going to be used as a useful extra revenue raising device for councils. we know that for example car parking charges and street parking have been a useful way of raising revenue. is this going to happen with these charges, as well? well, that's not the evidence. if you look there have been trials as you said in your report earlier, in kent and london, the evidence is two—fold. first of all, it's not a money—raising exercise by councils, this is used to incentivise utility companies to actually do their work collectively so actually do their

archer underwent surgery after accidentally hurting his right hand in january.ergoing treatment for a long—term elbow problem, but he looked a lively prospect for the kent batsmen today. scotland's callum hill leads at the halfway stage britain's hugh carthy and simon yates have moved up to sixth and tenth overall after stage six of the giro d'italia. it was another chaotic day with the leader's pink jersey changing hands — as nick parrott reports. the race leader described yesterday's technical finish is a crazy circus. he survived it, but she couldn't cope with today's weather. rain is bad enough, but wind is worse. it's put them in buns, leaving him behind as the british team ineos grenadiers up the tempo. the italian's cops were the only one starts. peter siri was hit by another team's support car is a belgian struggled on to the finish. with less than a minute ago, one of the favourites, egan bernal, made to his move. but she couldn't catch the winner, and he finished second. the competitor from winner, and he finished second. the competitorfrom hungary win

west indies 35—3 withjofra archer taking a couple of wickets and mark wood with one wicket.dies have lost openerjohn campbell of the field hurt with a toe injury. whether he bats again will wait to hear from the west indies camp. you can if necessary but it did look like a nasty blow to the tow from a full jofra archer delivery. so hundred and six if i run still required from the west indies but they do have that issue withjohn campbell at the top of the order. will be feeling confident in this lunch break. henry moeran, thank you so much for your time. on to the premier league and with two relegation spots yet to be decided, aston villa are desperate for a win over crystal palace this afternoon... second from bottom, they've not won in 10 matches, losing 8 of those. dean smith's side are seven points from safety with five games to play. they're a point below relegation rivals bournemouth who are also in action later — they take on leicester in the late kick off. their manager eddie howe says with 5 matches left, it's still all to play for. in terms of running out of games,

ukraine needs the capability to kill the archer.ill need the ability to protect civilian infrastructure, power generation, hospitals, transportation network spared it's a mix of killing the archer but you still need tintercept some errors. anchor: why the hesitancy as you see it to do that? >> i think -- russia has thousands nuclear weapons and they clearly don't care how many innocent people they kill, even their own. so the president and germany in particular, they both understandably are concerned about that but i think they have an excessive fear that russia might use a nuclear weapon. i don't think russia will use a nuclear weapon because there's no advantage for russia to use a nuclear weapon. their advantage comes from the threat of using a nuclear weapon, that's when you get jake sullivan saying we want them to be able to survive, but we won't let them shoot targets inside russia because they are terrified russia might use a nuclear weapon. they are not, if they did, ther are zero positive outcomes for russia because preside

it's behind closed doors, remember, so archer's drive home has raised questions.you know that everything's fine? the bus re—fuels or whatever it is on the way up and there's some sort of facilities laid on for them to go to the toilet if they want to, but all of this level of security, why the players were allowed to drive themselves... i do find ita bit surprising, if i'm honest. england were eventually put in to bat but, before they did so, both teams took a knee, once again united against racism. already 1—0 down in the series, england needed a good start, and the west indies did their best to help. shannon gabriel with the widest of wides. after such a troubled build—up, england will not mind a little more of this. andy swiss, bbc news. scientists have revealed the closest images ever taken of the sun, which show mini solar flares, called "campfires", dotted across its surface. the pictures were captured by the uk—built solar 0rbiter spacecraft. our global science correspondent, rebecca morelle, has more. a remarkable view of the sun. its fiery surface reveale

archer says the comments were "a bit harsh".e he has received on social media, saying more needs to be done to stamp it out. i'm not sure they know anything going on behind the scenes, so i think that would be, you know, a bit harsh for them to say that. i've spoken to tom and we've got staff members, we have not forgotten, nobody here has forgotten about black lives matter. i think it's a bit harsh for them to not do some research. as long as there is social media, as long as people are able to confront you commit will still go on, but all we can do is to, you know, try to reported and do its best because at the end of the day, i think best because at the end of the day, ithink i'm best because at the end of the day, i think i'm strong enough to deal with it, but what happens when they start affecting them, and we've got to try to stamp it out as much is possible right now. let's be honest, it's not been the easiest time for most of us, especially for those who love to stay active. but a new advertising campaign from sport engl
