Tonight at 10pm, female stars at the BBC, call on the corporation | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
to sort out its gender pay gap, now. | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
In an open letter, more than 40 personalities | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
call for urgent action, to ensure women get the same as men, | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
It is not about getting whacking great pay rises for women who are | :00:22. | :00:35. | |
already well paid, it's about pay parity and getting fairness for | :00:36. | :00:36. | |
everybody. The BBC's Director General | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
Tony Hall, says work is already under way, | :00:39. | :00:40. | |
to tackle pay inequality. Princes William and Harry, | :00:41. | :00:42. | |
speak candidly about their mother, Princess Diana, 20 years | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
after her death. All I can hear is her laugh | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
in my head and that sort of crazy laugh where there was just pure | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
happiness shown on her face. England's women, win | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
cricket's World Cup, in a nail-biting victory, | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
over India at Lord's. Chris Froome toasts victory, | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
as he wins the Tour de France The Director General | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
of the BBC, Tony Hall, says work is already under way, | :01:17. | :01:39. | |
to tackle the gender pay His comments come after some | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
of the BBC's best known female personalities, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
signed an open letter The presenters Claire Balding, | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
Fiona Bruce and Jane Garvey, are among the more than 40 | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
signatories. Our Media Correspondent | :01:55. | :01:55. | |
David Sillito reports. More than 40 of the most famous | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
female presenters at the BBC are calling on the | :02:01. | :02:09. | |
Corporation to act now to end its Good morning, friends, | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
and thanks for tuning in. The trigger for today's letter, that | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
list published this week of the pay deals for the BBC's | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
highest-paid stars. In the top 20 names, | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
there was only one woman. The best paid men were | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
being paid twice what the This open letter to | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
the papers says that this week's annual report | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
confirmed what many have long suspected, | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
that women were being paid less | :02:42. | :02:42. | |
than men for the same work. On the whole I think it's | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
fantastic that so many wonderful women have been prepared | :02:49. | :02:53. | |
to stick their head above We've got stick, we knew we were | :02:54. | :02:55. | |
going to get stick, that's why we knew it was never going to be | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
an easy thing to do, but it isn't just about, | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
in fact it's not about getting whacking great pay rises | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
for women who are already well paid. It's about pay parity and getting | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
fairness for everybody. Today's letter says | :03:09. | :03:10. | |
the BBC has known about We all want to do | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
on the record to call Indeed, when programmes such | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
as Woman's Hour first went on air 60 years ago equal pay for equal work | :03:20. | :03:31. | |
was a pressing issue. The fact it remains | :03:32. | :03:33. | |
an issue despite law changes in the 60s and 70s after | :03:34. | :03:35. | |
pressures from the women's movement is perhaps a sign of how tough | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
it is to find quick solutions. Attitudes about age, | :03:39. | :03:41. | |
experience and authority It's also worth noting | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
in the top 20 there's not a single black | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
or Asian presenter. And this also comes at a time | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
when the BBC is facing opposition over its plans to change | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
the terms and conditions for the rest of the staff who are paid | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
a fraction of what any star gets. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn says | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
this taps into a wider issue of We would insist | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
on a strong gender pay audit of every organisation, | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
and we would also look at a 20:1 ratio between the Chief Executive | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
and the lowest paid staff in every public | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
sector organisation. Meanwhile, the Government's | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
Equalities Minister said that if anything showed | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
the value of their new regulations requiring firms to reveal | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
pay gaps, it was this. I think it's impossible not to be | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
shocked, to be honest, at just how different some | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
of those differentials were. And, of course, this | :04:40. | :04:41. | |
is the whole reason why we brought forward these regulations, | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
because as much as anything else, transparency is demonstrating | :04:45. | :04:46. | |
to organisations that it's a In response, the BBC said | :04:47. | :04:48. | |
today its overall pay gap is 10%, less than the national | :04:49. | :04:54. | |
average of 18%, but it needed to go further and faster | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
to close the pay gap. The Corporation's Director General | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
says he's confident next year's figures will | :05:04. | :05:04. | |
look very different. Let's speak to our political | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
correspondent, Alex Forsyth. The politicians are getting involved | :05:07. | :05:21. | |
in all this, Alex. What do you think are the possible wider ramifications | :05:22. | :05:25. | |
of this BBC row? Several senior politicians have now | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
condemned the difference between what the highest-paid man women at | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
the BBC earned and you heard Justine Greening, the equalities minister, | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
call it staggering and the Prime Minister said last week the BBC had | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
to look at this whole question of what it pays men and women who are | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
doing the same job. This has implications beyond the BBC. In | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
April this year the government introduced a requirement for any | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
company which employs more than 250 people to publish details of this | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
gender pay gap. They have to do that by April next year. In the next few | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
months we will see a spotlight on other organisations across different | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
sectors. The Government's hope is that transparency and possibly the | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
public sector Dummett pressure that will follow will force companies to | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
address this. Labour wants the government to take more direct | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
action, not just on gender pay but equality more broadly, particularly | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
on the difference between what the highest and lowest paid people in an | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
organisation own. I think what is clear is that the BBC's revelations | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
have sparked a much wider and longer running debate, one that is likely | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
to continue for some time. Alex, thank you for that. Alex Forsyth | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
there. Prince William and Prince Harry, | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
have spoken candidly about their relationship | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
with their mother, Princess Diana, in a documentary marking | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
the 20th anniversary They describe her sense of fun, | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
but also speak of their regret, that their last conversation | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
with her, was a rushed phone call. Our Royal Correspondent | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
Nicholas Witchell's report, To the watching world, | :06:52. | :06:52. | |
she was the princess whose image It was a glamorous | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
but necessarily limited Now nearly 20 years after Diana's | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
death in the car accident in Paris, her sons William and Harry have | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
spoken in an ITV documentary about Diana, the mother who did | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
so much to shape their childhood. We felt, you know, incredibly | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
loved, Harry and I. And I'm very grateful that that | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
love still feels there. It was that love that | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
even if she was on the other side of a room, as a son | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
you could feel it. The person who emerges from William | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
and Harry's description is a woman When everybody says to me, | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
you know, "So, she was fun, All I can hear is her | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
laugh in my head. And that sort of crazy laugh | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
where there was just pure One of her mottos to me was that | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
you can be as naughty as you want, And they talk about | :07:55. | :08:05. | |
their mother's death. They recall the last time they spoke | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
to her and they reflect on the overwhelming public reaction | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
and how they coped with the week As William himself has said, | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
it is a tribute to Diana from her sons in which they recall | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
the woman they hope A 20-year-old man has | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
died in East London, after a confrontation in a shop | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
with a policeman. CCTV footage has emerged, | :08:37. | :08:39. | |
of the officer wrestling the man to the floor, | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
in the store in Hackney, Our Home Affairs Correspondent | :08:43. | :08:44. | |
Daniel Sandford reports. The moment when Rashan Charles ran | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
into his local late-night shop At first the arrest | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
was calm but then the officer threw him | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
to the floor and grabbed him | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
around the neck. Later he was joined by what appears | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
to be a plainclothes Just over an hour later | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
Rashan Charles was declared dead at The Independent Police Complaints | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
Commission says an object was removed from his | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
throat at the scene. As the CCTV spread through social | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
media, there was a growing collection of flowers | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
and candles at the scene Pauline Pearce, famous | :09:25. | :09:26. | |

sitting in a cell somewhere being But instead, he is laying on a | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
morgue waiting for an autopsy and The community's got | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
to pick up the pieces. Many people visiting | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
the shop and the neighbouring barber's | :09:53. | :09:54. | |
shop were clearly upset. I'm angry, I'm sad, I feel | :09:55. | :09:56. | |
for his family, his mother. I know him personally | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
and it's disgusting. Rashan Charles's death follows | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
a similar incident last And there is a growing | :10:07. | :10:08. | |
anger here that young men are dying | :10:09. | :10:15. | |

News, Haggerston. The parents of the terminally | :10:23. | :10:32. | |
ill baby Charlie Gard, say they've suffered a backlash, | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
after Great Ormond Street Hospital, which is treating their son, | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
revealed its staff have Charlie's parents have been fighting | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
a legal battle against the hospital, which wants to remove his life | :10:41. | :10:46. | |
support because of his illness. Our | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
reporter Helena Lee joins me now. Wahab Charlie Gard's parents been | :10:50. | :10:58. | |
saying? As you say, this is in response to the Great Ormond Street | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
statement put out last night in which they said both doctors and | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
nurses have been subjected to what it called a shocking and disgraceful | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
tide of abuse both online and verbal abuse in the street, some of them | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
death threats. Tonight, Charlie's parents, and Chris, responded to | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
that statement and said they are extremely upset by the backlash they | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
say they have received since that statement was put out, by backlash | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
we understand that to be online comments directed towards them. They | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
said they suffered the most hurtful comments from the public. Charlie's | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
mother goes on to say Chris and I are just ordinary periods with a | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
sick baby and we have his best interests at heart. We do not and | :11:44. | :11:46. | |
have not ever condoned any threatening or abusive remarks | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
towards any staff members at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Tomorrow the | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
case goes back to the High Court, it starts at two o'clock. The judge | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
will look at new evidence, especially that meeting between the | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
American doctor proposing the treatment and medical staff at the | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
hospital, and he is expected to give his decision on Tuesday. Helena Lee, | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
thank you. The head of the powerful trade body, | :12:09. | :12:10. | |
that represents German car makers, says a long transitional period | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
after Brexit is needed, otherwise jobs and investment | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
in Britain will be threatened. The President of the German | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
Automotive Industry Association, accused the UK, of abandoning | :12:19. | :12:21. | |
pragmatism over the issue. Here, the Trade Secretary, Liam Fox, | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
has suggested a transitional deal At least one person has died, | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
in a shooting at the Israeli Embassy Local police say a Jordanian | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
national was killed, and two people including | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
an Israeli, were wounded. It's unclear what motivated | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
the attack, but regional tensions have been heightened, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
after recent violence in Jerusalem. The number of migrants arriving | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
in Greece is picking up again, putting increasing pressure | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
on a country, still More than 8,000 people have | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
arrived so far this year, down from the thousands | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
who were turning up every But since then, a deal | :13:03. | :13:04. | |
to deport failed asylum seekers back to Turkey, | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
and the slow process of investigating cases, | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
has led to a bottleneck in Greece, and on the island | :13:11. | :13:12. | |
of Lesbos in particular. Our correspondent, | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
Mark Lowen reports. A scene that's defined Europe, | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
played out almost daily for the last Staged, this time, by | :13:25. | :13:27. | |

Mosul and so-called Islamic State. For a year she was kept | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
in Moria migrant camp She's been moved, but | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
the memories endure. They fight so much, yes, | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
and I see three people dead in Scarring the olive | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
groves of Lesbos, Moria It's stretched and | :13:56. | :14:08. | |
beset with problems. This footage obtained by the BBC | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
appears to show police violence Some migrants burnt | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
tents and threw stones. One escapes but a | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
policeman goes to any The poor conditions | :14:27. | :14:35. | |
and incessant wait for asylum applications | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
are fuelling the rage. Eddie Mangai guy says he fled Congo | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
as a political prisoner. The daily struggle here | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
defies the empty slogans. "Greeks saved us when we were in | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
the water," he says. "But now the Syrians | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
are getting papers and Greece, still in financial | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
crisis, forced to The number of new arrivals | :15:02. | :15:12. | |
is a fraction of what it was and the media has somewhat moved | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
on but the problem persists. Crowds of migrants in | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
an increasingly permanent camp Thousands stuck here in Greece, | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
caught in Europe's forgotten crisis. We get drunkenness, | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
drug addictions, things Obviously, I think, are directly | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
the results of the depression and And to be honest, the Greeks, | :15:39. | :15:48. | |
I know they feel frustrated The island feels abandoned | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
by the mainland and all of Greece feels | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
abandoned by the EU. Europe's most bankrupt country has | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
become its waiting room. Lives are on hold here | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
and Greece is overwhelmed. Now, it's been a big day for sport, | :15:59. | :16:00. | |
from the Tour de France, to the Open, to a dramatic World Cup | :16:01. | :16:14. | |
win for England's women cricketers. So let's join Natalie | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
Pirks at Lord's. Hi, Clive, only one place to start | :16:19. | :16:30. | |
because England's cricketers have won the women's World Cup for the | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
fourth time. It was a sell-out at Lord's for their final against India | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
and they got their money's worth. Anya Shrubsole won the match ball | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
after taking six wickets. David Ornstein reports. There was a time | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
when English cricket barely even registered with many sports fans. | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
Millions more watching around the world, only a match yet | :16:50. | :16:56. | |
England won the toss and opted to bat but the loss of | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
Sarah Taylor handed India the impetus. | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
If this was an advert for the women's game Nat Sciver was | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
providing the promotional material, though elsewhere runs were in | :17:08. | :17:09. | |
supply and even when England looked to kick on, moments of Indian magic | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Chasing 229 to win, India looked to be cruising and at one | :17:13. | :17:19. | |
point needed just 38 runs with seven wickets in hand. | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
But England dared to dream and clawed their way back | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
from a seemingly irretrievable position. | :17:25. | :17:25. | |
Alex Hartley and Anya Shrubsole did the damage. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Shrubsole taking six wickets in a devastating | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
spell that broke India and guided England to glory. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
A breathtaking end to a truly ground-breaking tournament. | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
I always think it is better winning when you are all out there in the | :17:43. | :17:50. | |
field because you've got your team-mates around you. | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
This World Cup really has been a team effort. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
People have chipped in along the way. | :17:57. | :17:58. | |
We have fought our way through some games, haven't necessarily won | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
the prettiest at times but tournament cricket is all about | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
winning, it's not necessarily about how you win, it's just | :18:04. | :18:06. | |
This, though, is a victory not only for them but for women's | :18:07. | :18:13. | |
cricket too, and perhaps even a seminal moment for women's sport. | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
Britain's Chris Froome has won the Tour de France | :18:16. | :18:26. | |
for the fourth time, after completing the | :18:27. | :18:28. | |

A formidable performance has delivered Tour de France | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
From early on, fans clambered to gain any vantage point they could | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
find on the Champs Elysees, sensing they were about to | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
watch one of the Tour's greatest-ever competitors. | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
I think Chris Froome could take it five times. | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
It's incredible for a British cyclists to have achieved four, | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
well hopefully, four Tour de France wins today. | :19:05. | :19:06. | |
When you compare it to any other sporting achievements, | :19:07. | :19:08. | |
he would be knighted without a question. | :19:09. | :19:09. | |
This victory was not achieved in isolation, though. | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
Champagne on the road into Paris today, enjoyed by a team that worked | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
hard to give their leader yet another vintage year. | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
And once he crossed the finish line, Chris Froome drank it all in. | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
An incredible feeling to ride on the Champs Elysees, | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
even after having done it three times previously, it | :19:31. | :19:32. | |
Still, all the same emotions are here. | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
Meanwhile, thoughts are already turning to 2018. | :19:40. | :19:48. | |
I think he's already thinking about the next year, I guess. | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
If he could have a fifth win it would be nice but of course it does | :19:53. | :20:04. | |
mean he is going to enter in history. | :20:05. | :20:06. | |
God Save The Queen rings out on the Champs Elysees for the fifth | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
time in six years and Chris Froome, at the age of 32, with four | :20:10. | :20:12. | |
titles under his belt, he says he's not done yet. | :20:13. | :20:15. | |
We could be hearing that for many years to come. | :20:16. | :20:17. | |
There was final-round drama at the Open Championship. | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
Jordan Speith threw away a three-shot overnight lead | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
but the American clung on for his third Major title. | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
Our Sports Correspondent Andy Swiss reports from Royal Birkdale. | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
The history books will show he won comfortably. | :20:31. | :20:32. | |
For most of his round, Jordan Spieth seemed a man in meltdown. | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
His overnight lead, unlike his putts, soon vanished. | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
COMMENTATOR: He doesn't miss too many of them. | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
But at the 13th, it was head-in-hands time. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
A drive so bad, he ended up playing it from the practice ground. | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
He now trailed Matt Kuchar but having seemingly | :20:56. | :20:57. | |
thrown the Open away, Speith sensationally seized it back. | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
Three birdies and an eagle, the worst to the best in barely | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Finally, he could relax, as at just 23, he became | :21:03. | :21:12. | |
the Open's youngest winner in nearly four decades. | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
COMMENTATOR: It's a royal performance at Birkdale. | :21:15. | :21:15. | |
But talk about doing it the hard way. | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
A dramatic and at times chaotic finale then, | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
but it for Jordan Spieth, eventually the perfect result. | :21:21. | :21:22. | |

There were more medals today for Great Britain in the World Para | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
Sammi Kinghorn won her second gold, in the T53 100 metres to leave | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
Britain third overall, in the medal tables - as | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
The greatest Championships to date, with record-breaking performances | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
and the usual suspects topping the podium but for some | :21:50. | :21:51. | |
Sammi Kinghorn had never won a world title but this morning she raced | :21:52. | :21:58. | |
to her second victory of the Championship | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
I literally had no idea when I crossed over the line. | :22:01. | :22:09. | |
I heard the crowd scream so I thought - I've won a medal. | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
I saw my name popping up and I was like - really? | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
I got off really hard, my start was good. | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
I knew that was the biggest thing I had to work on from Rio. | :22:19. | :22:21. | |
I'm really glad it has all worked out. | :22:22. | :22:23. | |
Ten months on from Britain's most successful Paralympic Games, | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
the pressure was on the athletes to do it all over again | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
here in London and thanks to a little help from the home | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
crowd, they certainly didn't disappoint. | :22:33. | :22:35. | |
There is no doubt at all, when you have the home support, | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
There may not have been sell-out crowds but it has far exceeded any | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
previous Para Championships and for many of the British | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
athletes it has been the highlight of their careers, | :22:51. | :22:52. | |
creating new memories of London that will be hard to beat. | :22:53. | :23:02. | |
At the women's European Championships England | :23:03. | :23:03. | |
This late strike from Jodie Taylor sealed the win. | :23:04. | :23:12. | |
They are top of Group D and need just one point from their final game | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
Erin Cuthbert scored as Scotland lost 2-1 to Portugal, | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
but they can still reach the last eight with victory | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
That is it for a very busy day of sport and it looks like it will be a | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
long night for England's cricketers who are still celebrating in the pub | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
next to me, and quite right too. Thank you, Natalie Pirks at Lord's. | :23:36. | :23:37. | |
The world's first floating wind farm will soon be in place, | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
One of its five huge turbines arrives at midnight, | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
with the revolutionary technology, allowing the generation | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
of power from strong sea winds, while it floats. | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
It'll provide energy for 20,000 homes. | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Our Environment Analyst Roger Harrabin, has been | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
following the vast turbines' journey from Norway to Scotland. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
In the half-light of a summer night in Norway, a landmark in the history | :24:05. | :24:07. | |
of energy floats upright in the chilly water. | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
These five towering turbines will cross the North Sea to Scotland, | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
to form the world's first large-scale floating wind farm. | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
This is engineering on an absolutely gargantuan scale. | :24:22. | :24:23. | |
What you can see is taller than Big Ben. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
But that's only part of it - there's a third more under | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
the water, weighted heavily at the bottom with iron ore, | :24:33. | :24:34. | |
to keep the thing floating stable in the water. | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
The turbines will be tethered to the sea bed with thick | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
mooring lines 15 miles off the coast of Peterhead. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
Being able to use floating offshore wind farms gives us much more | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
flexibility when it comes to locating these farms | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
But a note of caution among the enthusiasm. | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
Scientists warn that far more investment in additional | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
new technologies is needed to combat climate change. | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
This monumental kit comes dear, but the price should fall. | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
We think that this is a game changer, this project, | :25:12. | :25:13. | |
for enabling us in the future to reduce the cost and develop wind | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
The first turbine is hauled from the fjord by tugs. | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
It's nearly 12,000 tonnes of steel and ballast. | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
Each blade is as wide as the wingspan of an Airbus. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
The power of engineers to capture wind energy at sea is growing far | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
