and hamilton and in the west indies, they so they had that connection. they saw themselves. but i think, you know, of them saw themselves as part that jefferson was determined to prove that north america was the good part of the world. and that the animals were not of fury or that we were going to plunge westward. madison wanted to go south, in particular, which we can get into alexander hamilton and contrast looked his his map, his mental map, a mental map of sea lions. i mean, he had grown up in the west indies islands, st croix, a sugar island with 90% tradeable. there were well, he was he was hired by a firm named beet boy, beekman and krueger, just about the time that his mother died of a disease the father had abandoned him. he had nothing. the uncle who was supposed to be his k caretaker committed suicide. he lived. he was always against slavery. really didn't like this slave society, right? beekman and krueger, the partner beekman. and krueger decides, well, he's got to go to new york for medical treatment. puts alexander hamilton in charge. the office. he, 16 years

in all surely he was good, and west indies he was good, at home he was goodin indies he was good, atas good in sri lanka he was good so i think he has got, he covered the bases. welcome to the programme. lots to come later, including two bronze medals and a silver for team gb so far on day ten, but before that — everything this woman touches usually turns to gold, but today simone biles missed out on the top spot after some mistakes in her floor routine. and earlier the american gymnast fell off the beam. biles still took silver on the floor for an astonishing iith olympic medal in total. she left her third and possibly last olympic games to a standing ovation. our sports correspondent katie gornall is outside the bair see arena. katie, she is human after all! she is and she came into this competition today with this or of invincibility around her after winning those three gold medals earlier in paris but first up it was the being final and we know what a fiendishly difficult bit of apparatus that is just ten cm wide, it takes no prisoners. biiefs apparatus that is just ten cm wide,

in australia he was good, in west indies it was good, at home he was good, in sri lanka he was good,as got... he covered the bases. the key to coaching is empathy. and of course when he got the experience that graham has, it is the ability to get into someone�*s mind. everyone is different. that is the tough thing about coaching. people who can contribute to the overall confidence of that dressing room, so people who can be upbeat, people who can be bubbly, take the heat out of a pressure situation, people who can get runs in the pressure situations and someone like graham would have done that. the premier league starts a week on friday and west ham have continued to strengthen their squad, signing german striker niclas fullkrug on a four—year deal from borussia dortmund. chelsea and england midfielder conor gallagher is closing in on a move to atletico madrid. the 2a—year—old, who joined chelsea when he was eight, captained the side last season. he's agreed a move to la liga with atletico having a £33 million offer accepted. from september, the home of english rugby union, twickenha

crawley suffered the injury while attempting to take a catch in the third test against west indies lastll open alongside ben duckett in crawley�*s absence with the first match against sri lanka on august 21st. celtic started the defence of their scottish premiership title with a win — one that already gives them the advantage over glasgow rivals rangers afterjust the opening weekend of the season. the champions had four different scorers in their 4—0 win over kilmarnock at celtic park and puts them two points ahead of rangers who could only draw on saturday. elsewhere, dundee came from behind twice to draw their derby with dundee united. while st mirren, who took a step closer to european football last week, beat hibernian. italy's enea bastianini completed a british motogp double at silverstone. after sprint victory on saturday, he overtook jorge martin on the penultimate lap of the grand prix to win that too. martin's second place was enough to move him into the lead in the riders�* championship. there is much more of course at the bbc sport website to follow what has been going on. i

after a clean sweep against the west indies, they have another three test series against sri lanka, thes at old trafford in manchester. england have already named their 11 — the stand—in captain is ollie pope — in ben stokes's absence. stokes is out for the rest of the summer with a hamstring injury, but won't be too far away. here's our sports correspondentjoe wilson. well, this test series offers steps forward for england, but it's a huge leap for ollie pope, thrust into the captaincy ahead of schedule because of the injury to ben stokes. of course, he'll have plenty of help. he did a long practice session today with batting coach marcus trescothick, and pope still has to make his runs. very much in attendance, once again overseeing england's preparations, ben stokes. it is still his england team. so when it comes to the match itself, iwondered how exactly the decisions are going to be made. in terms of ben stokes being around, is it a case that he will give advice when you feel you need it, or do you think he will be giving advice when he thinks you need it? um, i think probably, i t

runners from the west indies have historically performed terrifically on the international stage, manyd up at american colleges, where they train and get top coaching, and that's what they have done. she was at the university of texas, 23 years old, i believe, and shejust ran a great race, sha'carri ran a great race too, but she was little slow out of the blocks. i think she ran 10.89 seconds, i bet if you had asked her if her time would win, she probably would have said yes, but alford was just lights out. she ran like 10.72, a tenth of a second or so off flow joe's record from ages ago. a first gold medal for st lucia. pretty small. we have to mention, as many people call her, the greatest of all time, simone biles, in the gymnastics, winning her tent olympic medal, her third gold of the games, this time in the vault. what is so incredible about simone biles in the situation is, three years ago, she had just a really rocky olympics in tokyo, and she essentially had panic attacks and was just overcome by fear. they call it the twisties in gymnastics. and getting over that and deciding
