keir starmer and rishi sunak here in nottingham., because it has emerged. we heard earlier about the arrest in islington this morning, connected with the westminster honey trap scandal that broke a couple of months ago, and basically it cost william wragg, who was then a prominent conservative mp the whip, because he had been trapped basically into sending images that he shouldn't have sent to somebody posing as abby or charlie and quite a few mps and others were targeted . now, we've others were targeted. now, we've never known who was at the bottom of this, but we hear that someone has been arrested and in the last hour or so, we've also heard from the labour party . and heard from the labour party. and gb news understands the labour party was notified today of the arrest of a party member in islington. the labour party immediately administratively suspended the individual from membership of the party. unable to comment further due to an ongoing police investigation. so we know a labour party member suspended in islington. we know

now, regarding the beer here in nottingham, we're a little bit more civilised. didn't see any pints going up in the air here, but new research from aldi says that every time england score gareth southgate scarf, gareth southgate's side sends 5 million pints into the air. so every time that there's a goal, 5 million pints go in the air. i was speaking to the chap who runs the events for this place, bink's yard, and he says it's good for business because it means that they have to buy another beer, but it also means that they have to buy a load more mops as well . more mops as well. >> well, to be fair, it doesn't look as if nottingham fans have had a problem with that result. they seem very animated and very energised by gareth southgate's rather strange formulation of players on the pitch today, but they seem happy. will now you go and have a lager? yeah, put your feet up and we'll no doubt be rhiannon advising you for the next match against slovenia . next match against slovenia. he's gone. well, let's speak to big sam allardyce now for some expertise on exactl

summer has finally arrived — for now, at least — in nottingham.o the two men wanting to be prime minister the weekend after next. tonight, the beginning of the sprint finish to polling day. first up, sue, and you probably won't be surprised by her question. people are dismayed i by the lack of integrity and honesty in politics today. after the recent allegations about political betting, - how would you restore trust in politics? - this takes leadership. what i did when one of my team was alleged to have been involved and investigated by the gambling commission, they were suspended within minutes. i was furious to hear about these things. that's why i've dealt with it. but the choice of this election is about... as sue said, it's about leadership, it's about integrity in politics, and it's a question of doing what you say. keir starmer's made this broader point, but the point is — he's changed his mind on every major position that he's taken. sir keir jabbed back. "what about wider questions of culture in government?," he asked. this isn'tjust what

the british number one's victory in nottingham 12 months ago marked her first wta title.from boulter was called out but overruled by umpire kelly rask. umpire: correction, ball was good. replay the point. no way! - the ball is so far out. that was so far out. this one came off the back for me. no, it didn't! for me, that's how i saw it. this is embarrassing. you're embarrassing yourself. harriet, watch it now. harriet, watch it. - if we watch that back, i can promise you, i would bet £50,000 that ball was out. honestly. 0k. i would shake your hand right now. it's a joke how far this ball was out. at the t20 world cup, bangladesh came agonisingly close to springing a surprise victory over south africa in their group game in new york's temporary stadium. bangladesh's bowlers put on a superb display to reduce south africa to 23 forfour at one stage. and on a tricky pitch the proteas reached 113 for six off their 20 overs. bangladesh made a decent fist of the run chase and were probably slight favourites heading into the last over. and this is how close they got with six requ

she successfully defended her nottingham title earlier this month.er sofia kenin, a former australian open champion. and emma raducanu made a remarkable comeback against the world number five, jessica pegula. raducanu saved a match point in the second set, but forced a decider which she won 7—5 after almost three hours on court. it was her first win over a top ten player. it's incredibly difficult when you're playing someone who's so in form like jessica. i mean, she came off the back of a great run in berlin, and no doubt she's feeling confident on the grass. but i'm really pleased with how i managed to navigate against really tough situations. and i didn't think, to be honest, i'd be able to get myself out of it. so, i would say this match is, yeah, one of the more meaningful ones to me. yeah, i think i've been going through some stuff and i'd like to come through it. it's been really nice. anthonyjoshua will face fellow british fighter daniel dubois for the ibf world heavyweight title at wembley on september 21. undisputed champion oleksandr usyk

in nottingham. reasons we are not allowed inside. i did go on and have allowed inside. i did go on and have a look before i came out to talk to you. it is quite an intimate affair. as you say, this is like the last real set piece of this campaign. there are the same post throughout the campaign. the moment that rishi sunak called it in downing street, the dissolution of parliament when we no longer have mps, they are all candidates. then we have the campaign bus is launched and the manifesto. now we have this final head—to—head tv debate. you have heard a lot from rishi sunak and keir starmer throughout the campaign but not head—to—head. the last time we had a tv debate was at the beginning of the month. all of the other ones have been the men on their own asking questions and then you move onto another politician. this is a chance to go head—to—head. our chief political correspondent is with me. you have been to see the set up, it's quite intimate? that with me. you have been to see the set up, it'

i think we're saying that on newscast last night after the debate in nottingham.ies doing the big picture thing, their main campaigning messages, summarising where they've got to. there'll be a bit of masochistic dashing around every corner of the uk in a vanishingly small number of hours for people like me, and indeed, i guess for the political leaders too. and then we'll be there. but remember, i say this every day, but i'm going to carry on saying it every day — we are there already. there's been a ratcheting up in the proportion of the electorate voting by post for the best part of the last 20 years. it's probably around about a fifth of voters now voting by post. so this general election is under way already. people have voted, people are voting, and then plenty more will be voting, what, this time next week. right, chris, you've got loads of work to do. so i will see you soon. and i suspect actually next time i see you face to face, eyeball to eyeball might be on election night itself when we're going to both be staying up all night monitoring the results an
