Its mens singles final day at wimbledon defending wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer are tied at five games each in the final set. This is live from centre court. Good evening, and welcome to bbc news. The mail on sunday has published more leaked diplomatic correspondence from britains former ambassador in washington defying warnings from Scotland Yard that Media Organisations could be prosecuted for doing so. In one of the cables, Sir Kim Darroch suggests that President Trump pulled out of the Iran Nuclear Deal last year to spite barack obama. Our Political Correspondent Helena Wilkinson reports. May last year, Boris Johnson as foreign secretary goes to washington and meets his us counterpart. His mission, to persuade the us president to soften his stance and stick with the iran deal. He appeared on talk shows. Tougher on iran. But efforts failed donald trump did not listen and withdrew from the deal. Now new confidential e mails printed in the mail on sunday reveal what was allegedly going on behind the scenes. According to the paper, Sir Kim Darroch wrote to mrjohnson, saying. Under the deal, iran had agreed to limit nuclear activities. The trade off for us economic sanctions to be lifted. Donald trump did not think it went far enough. Borisjohnson failed in trying to persuade him, and he has been criticised by those who feel he did not do enough to support sir kim, who has since resigned. It was wrong for it to be leaked, it was wrong for President Trump to throw a wobbly and behave like a toddler. It was wrong for theresa may to be as weak as she was, but the real villain of the piece is borisjohnson who refused to stand with one of our most senior diplomats. Focus has shifted to a row over press freedom in britain whether it was right for the paper to publish the e mails. Scotland yard has issued a warning, if you publish leaked government documents, you are at risk of committing a crime comments which have been widely condemned. I do not think the mail on sunday was wrong, we have a very precious freedom of press, so i think of press legislation, so i think we have the right balance. For whoever becomes the next prime minister, they will have to pick up the pieces of this diplomatic fallout. In the meantime, there is a criminal investigation into who leaked the e mails. The shadow foreign secretary, emily thornberry, has criticised her partys response to the bbc panorama programme, which made allegations about the way labour handled claims of anti semitism. The party described former officials who had acted as whistle blowers as disafffected and said they had professional and personal axes to grind. Ms thornberry told the Bbcs Andrew Marr show that it was important labour addressed the problems raised by the programme. I think that the labour party has to deal with this issue, and frankly, i welcome the fact that the. I mean, its a shame and a disgrace that the equalities and Human Rights Commission have been brought in to look at the labour party but they have, and i think we should now welcome it. I think we should open wait a minute. We should open our doors up and we should say to them, right, we have been trying to improve our processes. Clearly, its still not working. Can you help us . A 25 year old man has been charged with the murder of a pregnant woman in south london, and the manslaughter of her baby son. Kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was attacked at her home in south london two weeks ago. Navtej johal reports. Kelly mary fauvrelle was eight months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at her home in croydon in an attack last month. Her son, riley, who was delivered by paramedics at the scene, also died a few days later in hospital. Police were called to her house in the early hours of the morning, where she was in cardiac arrest, and died at the scene. Herfamily, including her mother and baby nephew, were all at home at the time of the attack. Today, police have charged Aaron Mckenzie with her murder and the manslaughter of her child. The 25 year old has also been charged with one count of possession of an offensive weapon. He is one of three men arrested over the deaths. A 37 year old was released with no further action, while a 29 year old has been bailed until next month. Aaron mckenzie is due to appear in front of magistrates tomorrow. The chancellor Philip Hammond has said the uk will not be able to control key elements of a no deal brexit. Speaking to bbc panorama, just days left before hes expected to leave the treasury, the chancellor says the eu will control most of the process if the uk leaves without a deal later this year. Private business is an important player in this, and the eu 27 control many of the levers. For example, we can make sure that goods flow in through the port of dover without any friction. But we cannot control the outward flow into the port of calais. The french can dial that up or down, just the same as the spanish for years have dialled up or down the length of the queues at the border going into gibraltar. We cannot control what no deal brexit would be like . We cannot, because many of the levers are held by others the eu 27 or private businesses. We can seek to persuade them, but we cannot control it. Philip hammond speaking to the bbcs panorama programme. You can watch the full programme, Britains Brexit crisis, on bbc one this coming thursday, july 18, at 9pm. Meanwhile, the work and pensions secretary amber rudd says shes changed her position on a no deal brexit. She had previously been opposed to the idea, but has told the Andrew Marr Programme that the possibility had to be kept alive in order to succeed in the negotiations. I maintain my position that a no deal brexit is bad for this country, and will be difficult to handle. To be fair, even brexiteers say that at the very least it will have adverse consequences. I am very clear that we need to be frank with the british people that no deal is not easy, it will be something that will challenge us, but if we have to do it, it has to be a backstop, by the end of october, but i no longer say that i will lie down in front of the bulldozers if it arrives. Sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre, heres chetin patak. It is an epic sundae of sport, to lawrence first where england are hoping to win their first ever cricket world cup, chasing 2a2 to beat new zealand. John watson is watching. They were wobbling at 864. Watching. They were wobbling at 86 a. Ben stokes and jos buttler, slowly but surely fighting back for england. Yes, hanning ands hopes hinge on the partnership of these two, ben stokes and jos buttler closing in on respective half centuries. A short while ago england 1734, centuries. A short while ago england 173 4, leading 69 runs of 5a balls. England will be pleased with the way they have bowled this morning to restrict new zealand to a target. Impressive bowling from liam plu nkett impressive bowling from Liam Plunkett who took three wickets. The only new zealand batsmen to surpass 50, went for 55. Substitute fielder james vince was on, this time chris woa kes, james vince was on, this time chris woakes, getting him for 16. James vince was on, this time chris woakes, getting him fori6. He james vince was on, this time chris woakes, getting him for 16. He took three wickets as well as new zealand finished up on 241 8. In reply, england lost quick wickets. Rory and ba i rstow went england lost quick wickets. Rory and bairstow went early and it was down tojoe bairstow went early and it was down to joe root to see bairstow went early and it was down tojoe root to see if he could study things. He went cheaply for seven. Eoin morgan as well will be bitterly disappointed that he could only produce a meagre nine runs, a brilliant piece of fielding from ferguson, great catch. It leaves england struggling to find runs on a wicket which is proving really tough to score on. And i think their hopes rest on this partnership between stokes and jos buttler. England will be desperate to get over the line. Three previous world cup finals, they have never won this tournament before, and it wont be lost on them that of the four matches played here at lords in this tournament, the tea m at lords in this tournament, the Team Batting First has gone on to win. That scoreboard pressure which new zealand have in their favour is certainly helping them at the moment. In their hopes of lifting this trophy for the very first time. It will be nervy and tense and we are infora it will be nervy and tense and we are in for a thrilling finish, no doubt. Nail biting at lords. Lewis hamilton has won a record sixth british grand prix. He started from second on the grid behind team mate va ltteri second on the grid behind team mate valtteri bottas. A clever pit stop whilst the safety car was of so the british driver take the lead. Any excitement came behind the mercedes drivers, the tussle for third saw Sebastien Vettel pick up a ten second penalty for shunting Max Verstappen full stop you can see it there. It was the cleric are benefited and brought the other ferrari home in third behind hamilton and valtteri bottas. Hamiltons seventh went so far this season, stretching his lead to 39 points. It is nail biting at lords and also nail biting in the wimbledon final. They are into a deciding set between Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, the quality of the tennis has been extraordinary, djokovic throwing itself around the court, federer holding his nerve to force this decider. Holly is watching the action unfold. It is tough to call. This has been incredible. We always knew it would be tense between these two old rivals. It has already been dubbed one of the greatest wimbledon finals of all time. It has gone the distance, as predicted, we are into a fifth and final deciding set after djokovic came out of the blocks firing. That one went to a tie break, the opening set djokovic took. Fedor went full steam ahead in the second, taking it 6 1. The pendulum swung back in djokovics favour, another tie break. Roger federerfought back favour, another tie break. Roger federer fought back in the fourth, winning is to take it to this fifth and final set. Djokovic currently leading 7 6. It has been really tense. Ive never seen these two players look nervous, both of them usually so relaxed and composed. Roger federers wife in a crowd looking extremely nervous. She has had her head in her hands at points during this. It is a case of who blinks first. Djokovic has just kept his nose ahead. He was serving first in this set. Still 7 6 but Roger Federer leading 40 0 in this game. It is not often we see the players looking nervous. It is Roger Federer who once again as the crowd favourite. From the hill behind us we can hear every time something goes Roger Federers way, the crowd goes Roger Federers way, the crowd goes wild. The chow chanting behind me sounds like lets go, roger we could be in switzerland right now and not london. An incredible match, still unsure which way it is going to go. It is anyones guess. And that loud cheer telling us it is 7 7 in that epic final set. Britain was my net bowlers have a 100 record. They finished top of their group. They finished top of their group. The roses were leading by 32 goals at half time. A0 goals are scored out of ai attempts most of the progress to the second stage of the competition that involves two groups of six, starts tomorrow. Meanwhile, scotla nd of six, starts tomorrow. Meanwhile, scotland have lost to uganda in the same group, they go through as the third best team. The trail by eight points at half time and although they worked hard to stay in touch they worked hard to stay in touch they eventually lost 52 a3. Uganda progress after finishing second. And Northern Ireland are also through as a Third Place Team after they were just edged out by zimbabwe in one of the games of the tournament so far. 51a9 the the games of the tournament so far. 51 a9 the final score. And for now thatis 51 a9 the final score. And for now that is all the sport. What an afternoon. The headlines on bbc news. More leaked memos from britains former ambassador to washington suggest President Trump scrapped the Iran Nuclear Deal to spite barack obama. A man is charged with the murder of Kelly Mary Fauvrelle the 26 year old who was 8 months pregnant when she was fatally stabbed at home. Pro democracy campaigners keep up the pressure in hong kong, protest began last month in a proposed change to extradition laws. Tropical storm barry has made landfall in the us state of louisiana. The first major hurricane of the season has been downgraded but authorities are warning of heavy rain and possible tornadoes throughout today. All flights in and out of the airport in the states biggest city new orleans have now resumed after being cancelled yesterday. Thousands have been evacuated their homes and tens of thousands are without power. Stephanie abrams, meteorologist at the Weather Channel in the us, gave us this update from morgan city, which is south of new orleans. The good news is it is starting to lose some strength because it is over land. The bad news is it does still pose a threat for flooding as we head over the next several days. Some areas have seen over 170 millimetres of rain so far, and we are expecting more. The winds have been over 60 knots in a lot of locations. And much higher than that for some. 0n the river behind me, i can slip this camera around and show you these men and women who are trying to get out to their hunting and fishing cabins. This river is well out of its banks. Obviously not supposed to be this high. We had a very wet spring, a lot of snow melt in the midwest, and all that water came down here, and then we had a southerly push of wind from storm barry, that pushed all the water higher. So right now that water is slowly going down, but still in the coming days we do have to worry about this going to other states, north of this area and also east of this area. 0bviously people like yourself are mapping the course of the eye of the storm very closely. Do you feel that the authorities are responding well to what has been unfolding so far . They absolutely have. The National Guard has been here helping people. There have been mandatory evacuations, and even those that didnt evacuate, yesterday the coast guard did go to try to help some people. I do believe the authorities are doing a greatjob here. Police have used batons and pepper spray against demonstrators in hong kong as thousands of pro democracy campaigners took to the streets again today, as they try to keep up the momentum of recent mass protests. Scuffles broke out between officers in riot gear and the Anti Government protesters, who built barricades in the street. This evening, thousands remain on the streets and have been facing off against police. 0ur correspondent Stephen Mcdonell has been in hong kong this evening. It is a pretty tense mood here. This is the situation right now, as you can see behind me there are hundreds of riot police that have come with large shields and batons and helmets. There are rows behind me. And the reason they are here, i will show you, is that as we go to the march, which was legal today and given permission to go ahead, as it has reached the end of its official permission time. So, from this moment on, what im going to show you is an illegal gathering. This has now become the pattern in hong kong. There is a large march, where people have now gone beyond just calling for getting rid of this extradition bill, and now they see that they are defending hong kongs broaderfreedoms, and even calling for one person one vote democratic elections. We move down to the other end, im sure you can see this is how the protesters have responded to that riot police presence. This is their front line, if you like. They have put up barricades, and they are double layered, if you like. There are umbrellas as well, they are designed to repel tear gas and pepper spray, and are also symbolic of the Umbrella Movement protests. If we come a bit closer, as the rain comes down, you can see how these have been put together to try to secure them, and at some point the police are going to come through and have to clear this. But, you know, it does show the seriousness of what has now become the new normal in hong kong. Every weekend we have these rolling protests. And at the end of it, these demonstrators, they are prepared to have a showdown with the police. Behind these umbrellas theyve all got helmets like this one. They know that tear gas and pepper spray is coming, and somehow or other both sides have got to find an end to this crisis, but there is none in sight. French police have detained more than 150 people, including two yellow vest leaders, during violent clashes in paris. Theyre accused of staging an unauthorised demonstration at the annual bastille day parade. Protesters tried to occupy the boulevard in the citys centre using metal barricades, with Police Firing tear gas in an attempt to disperse them. The demonstrators booed president Emmanuel Macron as he was driven down the Champs Elysees during the parade. Five people have been arrested after a car was driven into a group of people in south west london yesterday evening. Police were called to reports of a fight following the incident in battersea. One man suffered a broken leg, and another suffered a head injury. A number of other people are said to have sustained minor injuries. The driver of the car fled the scene. Police say the incident was not terror related. We are going live to wimbledon where we are in the final set. And Roger Federer serving for championship point. Djokovic has saved one championship point. Well stay with this for a couple of moments. As Roger Federer continues to serve in this final set. Amazing, isnt it . There we have it, 88 amazing, isnt it . There we have it, 8 8 in the final set. That is wimbledon, sent to in the mains singles final. Centre court. A very exciting afternoon of sport. As tensions rise between iran, the United States and its allies, the bbc has been given rare access to iran. Iranians remain furious that donald trump pulled out of the nuclear deal last year and has imposed crushing sanctions on the country. 0ur correspondent martin patience, along with cameraman nik millard and producer cara swift, have been in tehran and the holy city of qom, talking to iranians about the escalating crisis. While in country recording access was controlled, and as with all foreign media the team was accompanied by a government representative at all times. It was four years ago today that the Iran Nuclear Agreement was signed. Here in iran there was a real sense of optimism, but that optimism has now evaporated. A year ago america pulled out of the Nuclear Agreement and reimposed sanctions on the country. The sanctions are really hurting. Now we see soaring tensions between iran and the west. Iran sees Donald Trumps decision as a complete and utter betrayal. Donald trump says that the First Agreement was too generous and gave iran a free hand to meddle in the middle east. Iran has resumed enriching uranium to levels higher than permitted under the agreement. It is threatening to carry out further work unless it gets sanctions relief. The sanctions mean that many iranians are struggling to get by, food prices here are going through the roof. Iran stands accused of carrying out attacks on oil tankers in the gulf, something it denies. Something it does not deny is that it shot down a us drone. Last week, another incident. Britain seized an iranians oil tanker off the coast of gibraltar. Iran was furious and a few days ago iranians vessels challenged a British Commercial ship in the gulf. But what all of that shows is that a miscalculation from any side could lead to a serious confrontation. Schools and hospitals in england and wales could be held accountable if they fail to spot signs of Violent Crime among young people. Thats according to plans due to be announced by the government this week. Public bodies would have a legal duty to Work Together to report concerns about children at risk. Heres our Home Affairs Correspondent dominic casciani. A Community Programme putting football at the heart of saving lives. The london wide premier League Kicks Initiative has worked with hundreds of young people at risk of falling into a life of crime. Now, the home secretary sajid javid wants to go ahead with a new Public Health duty on Public Health bodies that will put them all at the centre of spotting Serious Violence that has blighted cities across the country. The proposed duty will cover police, councils, health bodies, schools and colleges. It will compel them to share intelligence of youths at risk of Serious Violence. Ministers hope the legal duty will mean professionals, such as mentors, can intervene earlier to turn around more young lives before its too late. But it is not without controversy. When the idea was first floated in april, teachers and nurses responded with both dismay and scepticism. They warned that the threat of legal sanctions against them for not spotting the warning signs would lead to them overwhelming the system with alerts out of an abundance of caution. The final proposals, to be unveiled this week, have been amended so that institutions such as schools, rather than individual professionals, will be monitored for how well they are doing in identifying vulnerable young people. That change has been welcomed, but the plan will still need parliamentary time to become a reality and critics say it needs to be backed by a massive investment in youth workers and other experts who have been cut over the last decade. Dominic casciani, bbc news. This week marks 50 years since man first landed on the moon, and if it wasnt for a Ground Breaking british invention, we may never have got there. A scientist at Cambridge University developed the fuel cell which provided the electricity to power part of the apollo 11 space craft. Heres our science correspondent richard westcott. Tucked away on board apollo 11, just behind Neil Armstrong is a small device without which president nixon said they would not have reached the moon. And here is one part of it. It does not look much. This is a classic example of an object that looks so simple on the outside, incredibly complex on the inside and actually changed the course of history. Its an electrode from a bacon fuel cell. A prototype, because the original was left in space. As we can see from the old manual, 30 of those discs combined into a cell that provided the electricity for apollo 11. It consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy. He makes it sound simple, but the inventor cracked a huge scientific problem to turn the theory of a fuel cell into a practical working device. It seems to me that this is almost as revolutionary as the discovery of steam traction. Would you agree . I would like to think so but remember, i am an enthusiast perhaps you should have that confirmed by someone else. A more single minded man i could hardly imagine. Professorjohn davidson knew tom bacon well. He was always very polite. He would ask you what your interests were, and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell he was deeply interested. But if they did not, he switched off. But why was the fuel cell quite so good . And how does it work . New students in bacons Old Cambridge department showed me. So, you are on television. Look down the lens and tell everybody what we have here. We have a small pot of soapy water here and a balloon filled with hydrogen gas. What we will do is generate a layer of hydrogen bubbles on top of the water and then we will ignite it and you shall see a small scale explosion. The cells used hydrogen and oxygen that were already on board apollo as rocket fuel. When combined, they create energy. Which can generate electricity. Even better, the only by product was water. Which the crew drank. It is safer, lighter, it is smaller, quieter and, above all, more efficient. The bacon fuel cell. The small british invention that made the moon landings possible. The tennis and cricket are both on a knife edge. Well bring you the very latest, but before all that, lets get the weather. The weathers not been so bad, second half of the afternoon, across much of the uk. Just a couple of showers here and there. For the rest of the afternoon into the evening hours, its a case of sunny spells. I think many of us are in for a beautiful sunset this evening. High pressure over the uk now, there are weather fronts growing over the atlantic, ready to come our way. But the weather wont go downhill until later in the week. The south of the country is not expected to get any appreciable rainfall from the weather fronts waiting out there until the end of the week. In the short term, this is what weve got across the country. Around 5pm, temperature still around the 20 degrees mark, and then the evening looking largely clear across the uk. But overnight, there is wind out to the north sea dragging in some cloud. East anglia, the south east and other eastern counters waking up to a pretty overcast monday morning. But monday itself bringing sunny spells widely across the uk, and then just the outside chance of a shower. High pressure across the uk, but the front moving very slowly. It is to the west of our neighbourhood, in fact, you cant really see it in our forecast area, that behind me isjust an indication of the low pressure swirling around. But very little wind around the uk on monday. Quite warm, low 20s across the south, even in the lowlands of scotland, so a beautiful day. On tuesday, the front starting to edge in, but High Pressure just about clinging to central and southern parts of the uk. The weather expected to remain fine, but showers gathering across ireland and Northern Ireland, into parts of scotland as well. And temperatures expected to rise a little across england and wales as we head towards tuesday and wednesday. Thats because, ahead of these fronts, wind changing direction, from the south, they scoop up some of the warmth out of the continent. Temperatures on wednesday expected to rise widely into the mid 20s across southern and central parts of england. But at the same time, the weather will turn. In the west, you can see the clouds and rain sweeping in. Bye bye. Hello, this is bbc news.

We move down to the other end, im sure you can see this is how the protesters have responded to that riot police presence. This is their front line, if you like. They have put up barricades, and they are double layered, if you like. There are umbrellas as well, they are designed to repel tear gas and pepper spray, and are also symbolic of the Umbrella Movement protests. If we come a bit closer, as the rain comes down, you can see how these have been put together to try to secure them, and at some point the police are going to come through and have to clear this. But, you know, it does show the seriousness of what has now become the new normal in hong kong. Every weekend, we have these rolling protests. And at the end of it, these demonstrators, they are prepared to have a showdown with the police. Behind these umbrellas, theyve all got helmets like this one. They know that tear gas and pepper spray is coming, and somehow or other, both sides have got to find an end to this crisis, but there is none in sight. French police have detained more than 150 people, including two yellow vest leaders, during violent clashes in paris. Theyre accused of staging an unauthorised demonstration at the annual bastille day parade. Protesters tried to occupy the boulevard in the citys centre using metal barricades, with Police Firing tear gas in an attempt to disperse them. The demonstrators booed president Emmanuel Macron as he was driven down the Champs Elysees during the parade. Schools and hospitals in england and wales could be held accountable if they fail to spot signs of Violent Crime among young people. Thats according to plans due to be announced by the government this week. Public bodies would have a legal duty to Work Together to report concerns about children at risk. Heres our Home Affairs Correspondent dominic casciani. A Community Programme putting football at the heart of saving lives. The london wide premier League Kicks Initiative has worked with hundreds of young people at risk of falling into a life of crime. Now, the home secretary sajid javid wants to go ahead with a new Public Health duty on Public Health bodies that will put them all at the centre of spotting Serious Violence that has blighted cities across the country. The proposed duty will cover police, councils, health bodies, schools and colleges. It will compel them to share intelligence of youths at risk of Serious Violence. Ministers hope the legal duty will mean professionals, such as mentors, can intervene earlier to turn around more young lives before its too late. But it is not without controversy. When the idea was first floated in april, teachers and nurses responded with both dismay and scepticism. They warned that the threat of legal sanctions against them for not spotting the warning signs would lead to them overwhelming the system with alerts out of an abundance of caution. The final proposals, to be unveiled this week, have been amended so that institutions such as schools, rather than individual professionals, will be monitored for how well they are doing in identifying vulnerable young people. That change has been welcomed, but the plan will still need parliamentary time to become a reality and critics say it needs to be backed by a massive investment in youth workers and other experts who have been cut over the last decade. This week marks 50 years since man first landed on the moon, and if it wasnt for a Ground Breaking british invention, we may never have got there. A scientist at Cambridge University developed the fuel cell which provided the electricity to power part of the apollo 11 space craft. Heres our science correspondent richard westcott. Tucked away on board apollo 11, just behind Neil Armstrong is a small device without which president nixon said they would not have reached the moon. And here is one part of it. It does not look much. This is a classic example of an object that looks so simple on the outside, incredibly complex on the inside and actually changed the course of history. Its an electrode from a bacon fuel cell. A prototype, because the original was left in space. As we can see from the old manual, 30 of those discs combined into a cell that provided the electricity for apollo 11. It consumes hydrogen and oxygen to water and produces electrical energy. He makes it sound simple, but the inventor cracked a huge scientific problem to turn the theory of a fuel cell into a practical working device. It seems to me that this is almost as revolutionary as the discovery of steam traction. Would you agree . I would like to think so but remember, i am an enthusiast perhaps you should have that confirmed by someone else. A more single minded man i could hardly imagine. Professorjohn davidson knew tom bacon well. He was always very polite. He would ask you what your interests were, and if they had any bearing on the fuel cell he was deeply interested. But if they did not, he switched off. But why was the fuel cell quite so good . And how does it work . New students in bacons Old Cambridge department showed me. So, you are on television. Look down the lens and tell everybody what we have here. We have a small pot of soapy water here and a balloon filled with hydrogen gas. What we will do is generate a layer of hydrogen bubbles on top of the water and then we will ignite it and you shall see a small scale explosion. The cells used hydrogen and oxygen that were already on board apollo as rocket fuel. When combined, they create energy. Which can generate electricity. Even better, the only by product was water. Which the crew drank. It is safer, lighter, it is smaller, quieter and, above all, more efficient. The bacon fuel cell. The small british invention that made the moon landings possible. Its been called the poldark factor. The bbc drama, which is based in cornwall, has become such a successful global brand that its attracting tourists from all over the world. Ahead of the new series, we caught up with a group of american fans, who were visiting some of the locations used in the show. Eleanor parkinson reports. What are you up to . Daydreaming. The drama of poldark has captured the hearts of millions across the uk. There is the romance, the scenery, the swashbuckling hero. And did i mention the romance . And the drama is notjust confined to cornwall because behind me are a group from virginia in america and they are part of a growing band of global fans of poldark. The american fans are on a tour of just some of the locations that provided the tv series with its stunning backdrop and they havent been left disappointed. I knew it would be beautiful but, honestly, its breathtaking. Every time you turn a corner, its so lovely. Youre very fortunate. Ive always done a lot of reading about england and cornwall was a place that captured my imagination when i was just a young girl and so, being able to see that visually was just tremendous. I love it. And now you are here, is up to expectations . She sighs. I think itjust surpasses expectations. It is just staggeringly beautiful. The history. I knew nothing about this area. I love the fact that poldark himself, ross poldark, is pulling for the common man, even though he is an aristocrat. And the george character is such an incredible nemesis. And all of the casting is so well done. After the mining heritage, it is back on the bus. Next is the beach. The beach is a favourite spot for ross and demelza. They can walk windswept, barefoot and indulge in a bit of that romance. Today, there were just a few more people on the beach, but they were still able to walk in the footsteps of their favourite characters and get their feet wet. Just around the cliffside which you cant see until the tide is out, is the beach where they filmed the shipwreck scenes. Poldark is now a household name in many countries all over the world. And those making this poldark pilgrimage are also boosting the countys tourism industry. Maybe something in this brooding miner and adventurer didnt foresee.
