the prime minister is going on a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summerand a tour, we arehe papers, during the summerand i hope a tour, we are told in the papers, during the summer and i hope she finds time for one of her long walks around the welsh countryside, i think it is, to get away from it. what struck me about it was, neither side of this great debate seems to acce pt side of this great debate seems to accept that the other side got roughly 50% of the country. and i thought the idea was the referendum, when it was over, would pull everybody together. and nobody

that was cat, reporting from the tour de france.this. not only is this incredibly light, just 600 grams, but it's loaded with technology. and it's being developed here in rural england, just by the duckpond. yes, just past the hartney whitney village green in a converted cow barn, an ex—rolls—royce aerodynamicist has designed this revolutionary new frame. stuart abbott has embedded sensors inside it which sends live data into the cloud to be analysed by cycling teams or casual cyclists alike. an accelerometer in the rear chain stay. also, temperature, pressure and humidity. the frame is made in a mould like this from many layers of this carbon composite. but on one layer of the composite, they print the circuitry for the senses and the conduct of pathways which sends the data around the frame. —— circuitry for the censors. all of this is made from graphene. we have connected the senses using graphene—printed circuitry. i know the humidity, the air pressure, the amount of watts you're pushing. i know how much you are deforming the fr

he will be the first welshman to ever win the tour.or team sky it is six out of seven over the last few years. there will be plenty of crowds and thousands of people expected, so hopefully a very warm reception. apparently he is looking for a few beers and a burger to go along with that champagne. you can't blame him. we will hear more a little later when geraint thomas arrives for his lap of honour. here, blue badge parking permits are to be made available for people in england with "hidden disabilities" such as autism or mental health problems. the department for transport said people with non—physical disabilities would have an equal right to free parking from next year. similar changes have already come into effect in scotland and wales. the weather forecast is getting a lot more interesting. lucy is there. good afternoon. it certainly is more interesting. we have got cool, wet and windy weather, words we have not said that much this summer. most of the rain has cleared england and wales. still some heavy bursts for eastern empires

now, the tour de france is coming to an end this week.is now 115 years old. fans love its epic proportions and its gruelling pace, but this year they may also be able to enjoy lots and lots of lovely data, because analytics and machine learning are coming to one of the oldest sporting competitions in the world, and kat hawkins went to find out how. this year's tour de france is taking place against the same beautiful french mountains as always. but there is a big difference this year. technology is playing a big role. cycling is becoming increasingly data driven and for good reason. masses of data can be collected and in the sport of fine margins and superhuman endurance, those insights are the key to energy efficiency, strategy and gains. we look at many things, we look at obviously heart rate, power data and their maximum power, and their altitude and elevation gain. so we look at that and we see how the riders are building, and we leverage that data to try and build them to be stronger and better in stage races. but how is the data col

to win his first ever tour de franc and grand t tour. it i is a very crucial and a toh stage for all a the riders because, as i said, it's the final mountain stage. there are six climbs in this race. .wo of the biggest climbs so it is going to be difficult today. and big climbs mean also big descents where there could be crashes. it's all going to be about making sure to stay focused for thomas. as for the others, it will be their last chance to attack. we're expecting many attacks in this race, including from dulan because this is his last real chance to gain some ground on thomas. that ahead of saturday's individual time trial where he's one of the favorites and could still have something to do against thomas. for that he will to close the gap in this mountain stage. very important for all the riders. and team sky did say thomas himself has said that he expected the worst, was hoping for the best. and his team has said it a couple days ago, they said this stage was crucial because they said this is where we could lose it all. that's wh
