In the tournament. But comes back to win against the odds. Four stretch the ones world cup to 32 and to double its prize Jaguar Land Rover is investing hundreds of millions of pounds to build a range of electric vehicles at its plant in birmingham. It will begin with an electric version of the jaguar xj from 2020. The company says it will help secure the jobs of more than two and a half thousand workers at the plant although it announced almost double the number of job losses earlier this year. But with purely electric cars making up just 1 of the market, does todays decision reflect Consumer Choice . Our Business Editor simon jack is in castle bromwich. After 6000 lay offs in the last two. The boss announced the company was spending the £1 billion on electrifying one of its most famous models. Julia and Martin Davies got married after meeting at the plant. 0ur son in laws here, so this is the next generation, they are taking it on. Its secured their futures. Its just fantastic. Jlr has been very downbeat about the damage a no deal brexit could do to future investment. Today, there was a change of tune. Today is the day of electrifying the plant, and honouring our people who are going with us to define a new, electrified future. Youre spending nearly £1 billion when you said that the prospect of a no deal brexit would stop investment in the uk. Some will say you were crying wolf. Weve made clear our statement to brexit, and nothing has changed. However, its also quite clear that we have a clear strategy. And really want to go ahead. And we are from a heart and soul point of view, we are a british company. Seeing a production line stand idle like this is not normally good news, but not today. This lots going to be stripped out, totally retooled to make the electric successor to the x] model. In the race for electrification, Jaguar Land Rover started almost in last place with 90 of its fleet powered by diesel. This is a very big step into an electric future. £1 billion sounds a lot, but its tiny compared to what others are spending. The big manufacturers are making very big moves. Vw alone is investing £70 billion in electric cars. Daimler, the owner of mercedes, is spending £33 billion. In total, car makers have announced investments of £2110 billion with nearly half of that earmarked for projects in china, with the rest in north america, europe and japan. The car industrys fundamentally changing. There is going to be more change in the next 10 15 years than the previous 100 years, and its a great shame that, at this critical moment, the uks punching below its weight because of concerns and uncertainty around brexit, for example. Weve got to cut through that as quickly as possible. Its the end of an era for the xj, as the last of the old generation leaves the building. Privately, the company says, brexit permitting, other models may follow where the xj has led. Simon jack, bbc news, castle bromwich. As simon mentioned there, electric vehicles account for 1 of the market here in the uk. Why is that figure so low . Heres emma simpson to explain. Buying a new car, its a big decision and for many it comes down to price. Electric cars are more expensive. Take this petrol vw. New, it sells for just over £27,500. Is the electric version. It sells for nearly £3500 more. Thats mainly down to the cost of the battery but thats expected to fall over the next few years. But how far down the road will the battery get you . Thats another worry. The average range of a new electric car on the road is 185 miles. The bigger the battery, the further you can go, but the longer it takes to charge. So easy a ccess the longer it takes to charge. So easy access to public charging points is vital, but right now there are only around 111,000 of them in the uk, not nearly enough, and only a fraction of them are rapid charging which can replenish a battery in half an hour. Most take a lot longer, so better infrastructure is also needed to convince motorists to switch. Eight people have beenjailed for masterminding a modern slavery ring in the West Midlands after whats thought to be the biggest such prosecution in europe. The five men and three women from poland persuaded up to 400 Vulnerable People to come to the uk, where they were forced to work for next to nothing and made to live in appalling conditions. Sima kotecha has more. These were the sordid conditions victims were forced to endure. Some were as young as 17. Filthy, often rat infested with no heating or light, toilets blocked and the stench unbearable. The gang was made up of five men and three women, all from poland. 52 year old ignacy brzezinski, 41 year old Wojciech Nowa kowski and 26 year old jan sadowski were between them sentenced to more than 20 years in total. Five others convicted at an earlier hearing were also jailed. Together, they preyed on the vulnerable. They were lured to the West Midlands from poland to places like west bromwich, where they were promised a wealthy life. They targeted former prisoners, the homeless, alcoholics. Translation to be honest, i came here to start a new life but i didnt know that this new life would start with such a really big problems. I couldnt even leave the house to go for a walk. They were following me, spying on me, they were controlling me. More than 90 victims gave evidence at the trial here, but the Police Believe the true number of victims is in the hundreds. They were forced to carry out manual labour on farms and in factories and were paid as little as 50p a day while their masters kept most of their earnings. West Midlands Police began looking into what was happening four years ago. They would convince the victims, for example, that they were unlawfully in the country, that if they left the house, that the traffickers provided for them, theyd be arrested by the police. There is a lot of these methods the traffickers would use to make them feel trapped. The gang was discovered after charities identified victims. This man works undercover and wants to remain anonymous. We had victims presented with black eyes, one victim presented with a broken arm, so his broken arm had reset itself out of alignment. Ripped clothing. Emaciated. While the victim suffered, the gang bosses lived an opulent lifestyle, driving lavish cars and buying designer clothes. Over five years, they made at least £2 million. After sentencing, thejudge, mary stacey, told the court the harm in this case was at the very highest level. And she warned that, all too often, such offences were being carried out in plain sight. Sima kotecha, bbc news, Birmingham Crown court. The conservative leadership contender borisjohnson has denied he was prevented from accessing secret intelligence when he was foreign secretary. The bbc understands from multiple sources that downing street tried to withhold some of the most sensitive security information from mrjohnson because of concerns about a lack of discipline on his part. Number ten has declined to comment. The two candidates to be the next Prime Minister are in scotland tonight, talking to conservative members as they make their choice for their next party leader. Jeremy hunt and borisjohnson have both promised to protect the union while delivering brexit. But Nicola Sturgeon says scotland is heading towards independence, regardless of who wins the contest. 0ur scotland editor sarah smith sent this report from perth. Welcome to scotland. Noisy independence protesters are determined to be heard as the tory leadership race arrives north of the border. At the nearby scottish game fair border. At the nearby scottish game fa i r vote rs border. At the nearby scottish game fair voters were considering how the contest could affect scotland. Boris johnson would be more likely to lead to an independent scotland in the shorter term. Why . Just because he is rather outspoken and to a certain extent hes the antithesis of what people in scotland are looking for isa people in scotland are looking for is a politician. I think boris is not popular in scotland. Why is that . Why is that . Why is boris not popular in scotland . That . Why is that . Why is boris not popular in scotland . |j that . Why is that . Why is boris not popular in scotland . I think hes too flippant, i dont think hes serious enough for the scots. Hes not down to earth enough. Despite the foxhound not everyone here is a hunt fan. I hate to say it but probably boris. Why . 0h, hunt fan. I hate to say it but probably boris. Why . Oh, gosh, i dont know, because he has more personality, i think. Dont know, because he has more personality, ithink. Boris dont know, because he has more personality, i think. Boris johnson has got eager support from several scottish tory mps, who clearly dont think him or his brexit plans are a threat to the union. My First Priority is obviously the union and that would i hope be obvious. And i tell you what, i think actually a great brexit and a successful pragmatic brexit, can be a good thing, a wonderful thing, to entrench and intensify the union. Jeremy hunt gave a much more explicit promise that he would never allow another Scottish Independence referendum. Im a unionist to my core and i say this as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom i will never allow our union to be broken up, and if the first minister of scotland asks me for a second independence referendum i will muster up my british politeness and i will say, no. Applause both candidates have said tonight that they are passionate unionists who can deliver a brexit that wont break up britain. There scottish tory members now need to decide which man they believe can really do that. I shall definitely build leaning towards boris johnson. Before tonight i was packing boris but after the hustings this evening im 5050. But after the hustings this evening im 50 50. They both gave good arguments. Im voting for hunt, i like him very much, i like his attention to detail. Some tory members have their ballot papers already. Voting has begun. They are choosing our next Prime Minister right now. Sara smith, bbc news, perth. Nerves inside paralysed peoples bodies have been rewired to give movement to their arms and hands. Patients can now feed themselves, put on make up, handle money and type at a computer. As James Gallagher reports, the pioneering surgery in australia has been described as life changing. This might seem simple but its remarkable. 0nce paralysed patients have been given the use of their arms and hands again. They can feed themselves, put on make up, or hold hands with a partner. Paul robinson was injured in a dirt bike accident four years ago. Ill pick something up with my left that i wouldnt be able to do with my right. But he can now live independently and playing wheelchair rugby after having his nerves rewired. The reason you can move your hands and fingers is because messages come from your brain, travel down your spinal cord, and then through nerves in your arms to control the muscles in your arms and hands. After a spinal cord injury, those messages from the brain get blocked, they get stopped. You lose control and become paralysed. In this study, all the patients had a small amount of control over muscles in the upper arm and shoulder so what the doctors did was they took the nerves that control to these muscles and rewired them. They connected them to the nerves further down the arm, allowing patients to bend the elbow and to open and close their hands. This is jack, learning to use his arms and hands again after an accident in a Swimming Pool left him paralysed. Surgery cannot completely reverse the damage but doctors say they are transforming lives. Its going to make an enormous difference. Its going to mean back to work. More involved in family life. And more independence. Experts warned the procedure will not work for everyone but say the study shows the brains incredible ability to adapt. Your brain can relearn that the muscle that used to turn your hand or move your shoulder can now do Something Different so you have this amazing adaptability. Huge advances are being made in paralysis. Electronic implants or cells taken from the nose are helping people move their legs again. Its early days but all these approaches show paralysis may not have to be permanent. James gallagher, bbc news.

This week weve brought you a series of special reports about the rapid deforestation of the amazon ra i nfo rest. Theres been an aggressive increase since the election of president bolsonaro in brazil in january driven by economic development. The rainforest covers an area 20 times the size of britain. Nearly two thirds of it is in brazil. And its crucial role in our Global Climate impacts all of us. Lets look back at some of david shukmans reporting this week. The billions of trees store so much carbon they help to slow down global warming. They are also home to an amazing tenth of all species in the natural world. But the sight of bare earth and dead trunks is becoming more common. This is happening all over the amazon to create more farmland. And the result is that the great forest has never been under such pressure. Its hard to believe but an area the size of a football pitch is being cleared every single minute. What that means is that forests that could cover more than 2000 pitches is just vanishing every day. And all the signs are that this rate of devastation will accelerate. After davids reports, so many of you got in touch with us, using bbcnews to ask questions. So weve taken a few and put them to experts to get you some answers. Firstly, someone asked, as a young adult who lives in the uk, what changes can i make to my everyday life to help conserve and protect the rainforest further . Something we put to clare shakya. We all have power to take action in our everyday lives. First of all as consumers, behind products, making sure those products are coming from land where there is no forest destruction. Secondly, as political actors, so ask our mps what they are doing to ensure that the uk puts pressure on brazil. A lot of you asked science based questions, such as this one referencing a statistic from davids reports, is there any idea of the c02 equivalent to the loss of a football pitch of amazon rainforest every minute . To answer this one heres dr erika berenguer. When we lose an area the size of a football pitch of the amazon rainforest, we throw into the atmosphere around 500 tonnes of c02. And that corresponds on average to 100 cars driving the whole year round in the uk. Next, we had an economic question, brazilians need an income and food, can they still develop the land without damaging it to this extent . Something tanya steele helps answer. This is about a cycle of agriculture that deforests and then abandons land and moves on. We can restore that land and use it for productive agriculture for the future without having to cut down a single more tree. The final one we have time for, should the rainforest become independent of brazil and belong to the planet as it is literally of global importance producing 20 of our oxygen . Something we put to professor anthony pereira. I mean, i understand the concern behind the question but brazil has been sovereign for over two thirds of the amazon rainforest for a long time. Itll continue to claim sovereignty. So i think its more practical for europeans to work with brazilians to try to put pressure on the government, to try to keep the rate of deforestation down. John mccririck who for many years was the face of british horse racing has died at the age of 79. Mccriricks eccentric presenting style made him a household name. Sarah campbell looks back on his life. The each way sharks and thieves, one, two, three.

He was a marmite figure because there were people that absolutely loved him or couldnt abide him. There wasnt really anything in between. Each way, one, two, three. First itv and then channel 4. He became a household name, explaining the odds. But, away from the racecourse, his forthright opinions were often less well received. Even the normally genial Alan Titchmarsh asked him to leave after he insulted a fellow guest. After controversial appearances on reality tv shows, including celebrity big brother. Hes french kissing my neck . He was dropped by channel 4 from their racing coverage. He lost a subsequent age discrimination tribunal which determined his pantomime persona and male chauvinist views were unpalatable to audiences. So, imagine if you woke up, nojob. Devastated, and no longer doing thejob he loved. Having no purpose in life. Its terrible. Less than a year after this interview, racing has lost one of its most colourful characters.

Mum cant watch. But perseverance pays off. Yes and into a deciding set we went. What an extraordinary rally it was a match swinging this way and that. And for the first time in the match, gauff looks the likely winner. But her opponent was wily and experience counted. They were going nowhere, and finally, after almost three hours, gauff proved shes no wannabe. This kid is the real deal. The fairy tale continues. The crowd was amazing. Even when i was down match point they were still cheering me on and i am super thankful that they believe in me. As the mercury rose it was hard for some to keep focus. This would have woken them up no drenchings, but an upset to begin the day. Last years finest Kevin Anderson sent packing in straight sets. The man who beat him to take the title, novak djokovic, came through a tricky tie to beat pole Hubert Hurkacz in four sets. Well have to wait for tomorrow to wait for the much anticipated match up between andy murray and Serena Williams in the mixed doubles, but it was fitting that tonight belonged to a comeback kid who has captivated centre court in herfirst grand slam.

Up until now, the occasion seemed utterly in travelling, and that they be here, i find that they be here, signs of stress, double double to hand over the press that, but if you doubt her bottle, have a look at this. Going for that line takes costs, even facing match point, and for a tribe ache to keep her in the match. Tie break. Its ha rd her in the match. Tie break. Its hard not to feel something.
