The Chancellor speaks out against Cabinet members briefing

Philip Hammond has told some colleagues to focus on their jobs,

instead of trying to undermine him because of his views on Brexit.

I am not going to talk about what comes out of a private cabinet

meeting. Five colleagues have done. They should not have done because

cabinet meetings he should be a private space in which we have a

serious discussion. We'll be looking at the implications

of the divisions at Roger Federer the record breaker -

the first man to win a Wimbledon If you believe you can go really

firing your life. I think I did that and I am happy I kept unbelieving

and dreaming, and even I am today. It is fantastic. -- I kept

believing. Tougher punishments for acid attacks

are to be considered by the government after hundreds

of incidents so far this year. The Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

has said Cabinet colleagues who have been briefing the media against him

should instead focus After newspaper reports

about discussions around the Cabinet table,

he said noise was being generated by people opposed

to his focus on jobs He also addressed claims he'd

described public sector Here's our political

correspondent, Eleanor Garnier. He's the man of the moment, though

not for the reasons he'd like. For the second time this week,

the Chancellor has found himself defending private

comments in public. This time accused of saying public

sector workers are overpaid. I have told you, I'm not

going to talk about what They shouldn't have done

frankly because Cabinet meetings are supposed to be

a private space in which we have a You would expect me to put any

discussion about public sector pay in the context of the

fiscal and economic situation that Among the millions of public sector

workers, it's teachers out protesting today,

plus others like police officers and nurses who faced

a 1% pay cap since 2012. Celebrating workers' rights

at a festival in Dorset, the Labour leader accused the Chancellor

of being out of touch. I think he's living

on a different planet to many Public sector workers have had

frozen wages for the past seven Health workers in reality have

had a 14% cut in pay. Many teachers don't stay

on in the profession because they can't afford to find

somewhere to live on the salaries they get and the strain

they are under because of shortages. The Chancellor hinted today

there could be better news for public sector workers

at the budget later this year, but in an unusual move,

he slapped down Cabinet rivals Some of the noise is generated

by people who are not happy with the agenda that I have,

over the last few weeks, tried to advance of ensuring that we achieve

a Brexit which is focused on protecting our economy,

protecting our jobs and making sure we can

have continued rising living

standards in the future. One of the Cabinet's prominent

Leave campaigners, the International Trade Secretary,

denied being behind the briefings. I absolutely deplore

leaks from the Cabinet. I think my colleagues should be very

quiet, stick to their own departmental duties, and I think

that the public expect us to be disciplined and effective,

our backbenchers are furious and the only people smiling at this will be

in Berlin and Paris. Public sector workers

continue to make their As it seems do members

of the Cabinet, who, with the Prime Minister's authority

in tatters, are in no mood to do as they are

told. How much should we make of what

Philip Hammond has said today? The knives are out for the Chancellor

and there are a number of factors playing into this. The row over

public sector pay itself. The Chancellor is intent on the

Government holding its nerve and dealing with the country byes-mac

debt, yet a handful of ministers have made clear they think the

party's position on pay damaged them during the election. But it is

decisions on what type of Brexit we end up with, something that will

affect generations and generations to come, that have a significant

part of the briefings against the Chancellor. With opposition inside

the Cabinet to his insistence that jobs in the economy, rather than

immigration, should take priority during the Brexit negotiations.

Added that the Prime Minister's own weakness and the jostling and

speculation and party leadership and you have got the key ingredients for

a pretty big row. But Conservative backbenchers do not want a

leadership contest and as they prepare the summer break, they are

calling for calm. You mentioned Brexit negotiations would restart

tomorrow morning. Today, the Chancellor touched on annex it built

from the that financial is adamant that Britain will have to pay when

leaving the E will be -- EU will be subject discussion. Boris Johnson

said Brussels to go and whistle if it wanted Britain to pay a hefty

fine. Today, the Chancellor said Britain would paste debts if they

had been verified. There is a key issue around European citizens here

and British citizens abroad. As the Brexit secretary prepares for talks,

he has called for both sides to get down to business. A sign I think

that initial pleasantries over and detox have entered a far more

serious stage. -- and the talks. Roger Federer made history on Centre

Court today, taking the men's single's title at Wimbledon

for a record eighth time. He beat Croatia's Marin

Cilic in straight sets. It's Federer's 19th Grand Slam title

and his second since returning from a six-month break

at the beginning of the year, Mr Cilic, meet the greatest

man to play tennis. Everyone knew the status

of Roger Federer and We had seen his magnificent seven

titles at Wimbledon. Now the unique,

all-encompassing eighth. Marin Cilic of Croatia began

the match trying to be positive, Even when you think you have got

Federer beat, assumed In the first set alone, Federer

displayed his full repertoire. Even when Cilic got his serve

in, there was Federer. The body language of Cilic varied

from anger to something Midway through the second set,

we wondered if he would A blistered foot did not help

but the key factor was Federer. In the final, Cilic won eight games,

Federer has won eight titles. He took the trophy

on its familiar tour. They are waiting

beneath the balcony. As we watch Roger Federer back

at the summit, let's remember that just last year,

he had months away from tennis. There was a knee injury, surgery,

recovery, we were contemplating You know, I always believed that

I could maybe come back and do it again and if you believe,

you can go really far in your life. I kept believing and dreaming

and here I am today. With 19 Grand Slams,

Federer is still well behind Look out for her when she

returns from pregnancy. But in the male game,

Federer is on his own. What if Rod Laver had not

been banned in the 1960s He would surely have won more

than his 11 Grand Slams. Bjorn Borg won five consecutive

Wimbledons but his whole career Pete Sampras won seven times

at Wimbledon, supreme on grass, he never managed the

French title on clay. So, if nobody in tennis quite

compares, is Federer If you compare him to any other

athlete in the world, You talk about Formula 1, running,

basketball, football... I don't think there is anyone

like Roger Federer at the moment. With four children at 35,

Roger Federer won his eighth title Defying time is not simply

restricted to science fiction. Thousands of opposition

demonstrators have gathered outside the Polish parliament to protest

about legislation that gives politicians control over the body

that appoints judges. Critics say the new law -

proposed by the ruling Law and Justice party -

erodes the independence of the judiciary and

feel how Clark felt. Lewis Hamilton certainly

started with the same view. Kimi Raikkonen tried

to overtake, but not so fast. Sebastian Vettel, leader

in the standings, had been caught by Max Verstappen,

but charged back at him He wants to play bumper cars or

something. Vettel eventually passed him

but Hamilton was over the horizon. The only question was

whether he could get in and out Kimi Raikkonen was beaten

by Valtteri Bottas for second and Vettel's Championship lead

was about to dramatically deflate. Lewis Hamilton could hardly

have had a better day. It feels amazing to be up here. I am

so proud to see his flags everywhere. We support this weekend

has been immense and I am really proud that I can do this for you

all. Thank you so much of this support. Pushing us. The team did

exceptionally well this weekend. It is the perfect weekend for us.

England have been set a rack of breaking target of 474 to win the

second Test match after South Africa continued to dominate on day three

at Trent Bridge. Hashim Amla top scored on 87 and looking to level

the series, South Africa declared on 343-9. England's openers had to

After Roger Federer's historic Wimbledon win, British success in

the next doubles when Jamie Murray partner Martin Hingis to victory 20

years after she won her only singles title there. The defending

the wheelchair doubles. A fourth successive title for the spear,

beating the Dutch opponents. Our correspondent

Andy Swiss is there. The 2012 poster boy, now a man on a

mission, Jonny Peacock hoping to give London another golden night.

Peacock had a point to prove. He missed the last World Championships

through injury but with his home crowd roaring him and this time

nothing would deny him. COMMENTATOR: Peacock is going to take the gold.

He had hoped for a world record, not quite but on the track where he made

his name the double Paralympic champion is now against world

champion. I know I was in good form but when it comes to the final I

don't care about times, it would be a great cherry on top of rising but

at the end of the day people care about medals and that is what I be

able to keep for ever. And successful and familiar face, Aled

Davies winning his third world title in the discus. Again London proving

the perfect stage. In fact after three days, the British team is top

of the medals table and with a week still to go there should be plenty

more to come. Thank you, Andy. That's it from me, but the BBC Sport

website has much more - including how Callum Shinkwin lost

the Scottish Open in a play-off, and A woman is to play the title role

as the 13th Doctor in this After half a year of speculation

from fans, not just about who the new Doctor might be, but whether it

would be a man or a woman... Confirmation that the time travel

show is making history. Jodie Whittaker says

she is overwhelmed as a feminist, as a woman,

and as an actor, to be cast It's a role that

demands a huge range of emotion, something Jodie has often

demonstrated from early appearances Me brain don't kick

will welcome a female Doctor? I think most will, I think

some won't be sure, Who is all about change, and this

committed itself to greater diversity, it will be hoping

that today's announcement will not only excite viewers,

but will also clearly demonstrate that the time
