Sue Barker introduces more athletics action from Seville.

World-record holder Colin Jackson, one of Britain's best medal hopes, sets off on what he hopes will be a successful quest for gold with the opening round of the 110m hurdles.

Meanwhile, high jumper Steve Smith, another Briton capable of securing a podium place, will be aiming to wipe out memories of an injury that endangered his career last summer. The Olympic bronze medallist from Liverpool has threatened to better his own national record this year and will need to maintain that form to take gold in Spain.

Other athletes in action this evening include Marion Jones in the final of the women's long jump and Kenya's Bernard Barmasai, world-record holder and overwhelming favourite for the men's 3,000m steeplechase. Commentary comes from David Coleman, Steve Cram, Paul Dickenson, Brendan Foster and Stuart Storey. With reports from Christina Boxer.

Calling themselves the Rock People of Palawan, the Taw Batu tribe escape the annual monsoon on their Philippine island by migrating to an extraordinary world of labyrinths and chasms in the mountains.

Tulibak, the argumentative and fiercely traditional son of the former headman of the tribe, left two years ago with his family and headed for the lowlands. On his return, Tulibak is perturbed to find the changes that have occurred in his absence.

Further coverage from Seville, introduced by Sue Barker.

Britain's Paula Radcliffe begins her pursuit of gold in the women's 10,000m. Radcliffe faded to a disappointing fifth place in the final of last year's European championships, but choose to skip this year's national championships in a bid to perfect her preparations for Seville. The sacrifice appears to have paid off, with Radcliffe recording some of the fastest times in the world this year.

Ireland's Sonia O'Sullivan may be missing, but Radcliffe still faces strong competition from the likes of Portugal's talented Fernanda Ribeiro and the Kenyan duo of Alice Timbilil and Leah Malot.
