it. myself, daniel, there's so many guys and to come away with it, i am pleased it would have been nice to have even pace, but they're going for world record place. whether you let them go or close the gap at the end, and i knew that wasn't going to work, or you go with them and hang in there, that's what i did today. so you kept your game plan, you did everything you could do to finish as you did? yeah, i did my best. it would have be nice to run a little bit quicker that at the same time but that kind of pace when you set off at that pace, it's really hard to run a lot quicker. and what confidence does this give you? if i can finish in a major race like this, and continue, let's see what i can to 2019. brilliant result therefrom mo farrah, and then the rest of the masses followed that elite men's race, and as every marathon does, there has been its racial stories. nonetheless, from david and matthew, you may remember the last year, when he was

struggling to cross the finish line, he picked him up and carried them across the finish line and they ran again today to support each other all the way, this is what they have to say the end of the race. it has been so much fun out there, as the ha rd been so much fun out there, as the hard work. anything like last year when it came to fatigue and were you expecting something similar? not expecting something similar? not expecting anything similar, but the conditions have it today, so i felt like i went out and kept the pace up quite easy and try to press on by it was not that kind of day for pressing, so the cloud is good, it's good to enjoy them, and go up and down for the top of it. matthew did you have to keep around this time and keeping yourself hydrated? we have been training together this week, he was in good shape, even with the heat, he's a sensible guy and was going to run it well. it was

amazing out there, incredible, so much fun, so tough, but the cloud keeps you going, and when i got across unlike him i turned around and he was right there, first person i got to hug so it was nice. you plan to do this together? no, it's natural, he just stuck on with me. plan to do this together? no, it's natural, he just stuck on with melj see him up during the course but yeah. it's amazing, this am and people out there, and you managed to stay together, what a brilliant message, you are in tune with each other. in terms of heat, how much has affected, because that's a story, it's confirmed to be the hottest marathon today. it's tough out there, the course is great and so are out there, the course is great and so are the crowds, the fellow runners were present, the amount of people i got to chat with, and shake hands and stuff around the course, such building guys and girls, and the heat, yeah, it wasjust, it on —— unbearable. the heat, yeah, it wasjust, it on -- unbearable. finally, matthew, last year you are the average

marathon runner, with the spirit of london award, it's amazing that people really do like to see that sort of human power taking over and getting back to each other? an incredible year, to have that award it's an honour, and great to run this year with david. definitely deserving winners of that spirit of london award, and brilliant to see them crossing the line together, there has been plenty of other man merv —— memorable stories, so we have to mention it. following the progress, she has done a six marathons over the past five days, and she completed her seven, she was out in the sahara doing them, so you would think she would be able to cope with the heat but she admits it was a surprise for her here and i did when she spoke to my colleague at the end of the race. very, very hot, i ran seven marathons and i was by far the top is, it's really difficult conditions out there. you ran before, but this is more difficult? the first one i was in 2011 and it was 21 degrees,

andi was in 2011 and it was 21 degrees, and i do not drink enough water and black—tie 2a miles, and today, it was hotter than that. i was careful my water, and ran with my heart monitors so i do not pace myself i ran andi monitors so i do not pace myself i ran and i could see how fast my heart was going to get steady so for me that's safe. you been doing a lot of running this weeks so it must be hotter than this what happened?” came back from the sahara, and it was six marathons of ideas, and i have to say, that almost felt harder, i was thinking as going, this is harsher than the sahara maybe because it's humid as well. lots of people cheering for you.” have not seen such enormous crowds, the sun brought them to the streets, everywhere, standing 20 deep, incredible, the support was unbelievable. will you do it next year? i'm sure i will, i'm addicted, i don't know what's wrong with me, but i like a good metal, and the london marathon gives you a good one. . congratulations to sophie and

an amazing achievement along with the other runners that have been competing here today, it's spinning out, not as many finishing and the latter stages of today, and i'm sure most of them will be feeling emotional, excited, for a relief that they have made it to the and during a hot marathon. 0n the subject of heat as you are seeing there, it was a major challenge this year, and the race director, also spoke to kate grey about the planning put in place to deal with those terrible conditions for running. it really has been the hottest london marathon since 1981 when we first started. it has been a huge amount of work that went into the planning of the event, and the teamwork that has gone into making it happen is enormous. plenty to cheer about from the home point of view with mo farrah getting the bronze, i guess it has been great

from that point of view as well. absolutely, sir mo farrah announced himself on the marathon stage, absolutely, to run halfway at world record pace, to be some of the greatest runners in the world, and raining champions, to stay with him who is a class marathon runner was incredible. david weir, the eighth title, could not be happier, madison announcing herself on the scene, vivian cherry, the board performance fastest athlete, is so amazing performances especially in the heat. lots of exciting races, and the heat has been the featured throughout, how have you managed things throughout the day and has there been an issue as a result of it? so, we did a huge amount of planning into the event. we have distributed more water we believe, than any other mass participation event in the world. so there was over four

and a half litres of water per person actually out on the course. at this days, we believe that we ran out of water at certain water stations, we know there was water stations, we know there was water stations eight, nine, ten. the team have taken a further contingency supply that we have, and resupplied every water station, popped up every water station from 17 through mile 25. and this event has been about the spirit of london, and the spirit of togetherness, and i has been done with our partners, tfl, the police, the ambulance services, it has really been a london team performance to take back contingency water get it back out on the course to top it up, and the team of volu nteers to top it up, and the team of volunteers still runners coming through, still mid—event, we are coming to the end of the event, but still really amazing teamwork and we really just thank all the volunteers

and people still out on the course at the moment. that was the london marathon race director, hugh talking to kate. the time is 90 minutes past 6, the headlines on bbc news. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, is threatening social media companies with new laws if they don't do more to protect children online. four british people die and 12 are injured in a coach crash in saudi arabia, the accident happened during an umra pilgrimage. sir mo farah finishes third in the men's london marathon in a british record time. runners endured some of the hottest conditions for years. labour has condemned the government's handling of the windrush scandal, where some people who came to the uk from the commonwealth decades ago, have been threatened with deportation or refused jobs or health care. the party's leader, jeremy corbyn, who's been speaking at the welsh labour conference, said that lives had been "ripped apart because of the personal decisions and actions of theresa may and her government".

these people came here to work here and do a greatjob and then to reach their 60s, 70s and 80s being told that they have to go, that they are being deported because they no longer belong here, they have lived and worked here and have got families here, they have voted. that is inhuman the way they have been treated. the origins of it is the 2014 immigration act which removed the simpler system that was there in the past, whereas if someone has papers that were not available, then we could check back and use the landing cards as a means of proving that they arrived at southampton or cardiff or wherever they arrived. the borders agency took a decision they wanted to destroy all the old landing cards in 2009 and that was done under theresa may when she was home secretary in 2010.

and i think she not only needs to apologise for this, but also to take the necessary measures, to guarantee rights are permanent residence for the entire generation. should there be resignations? if theresa may cannot make sure that amber rad carries out this decision, then i think that she should move on and let someone else do it. that's labour leaderjeremy corbyn there. working class students in england face significant financial barriers wherever they choose to learn, according to a report to be published tomorrow by the national union of students. its told the bbc the current finance system is unfair and doesn't recognise the real cost of studying. here's our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. selena anderson wants a degree, but

it's been really hard for the single mum. the cost of childcare in her first year was crippling. many times i've thought about giving up on many occasions. i bought books for myself, i've been doing everything i needed for myself, was sacrificed. how do you get about that now? i met these two women were studying, childcare per support for student does not cover all the costs. selena had to top up nursery beers from her already tight budget. many times i came in and i would not eat for the day because it meant i could travel in sometimes, i'd walk to university from my home, just to make sure that i had money whether it be to get travel, or if i had no funds, i had to attend lessons. i heard that nicolette missed out as a teenage mum, now barring to study may limit her ambition. chances are i may

never pay off my student debt, meaning i will never be able to have my own home. so it's a stark realisation, it really makes me question the whole higher education system. the national union of stu d e nts system. the national union of students says it's notjust about university. the president told me, couege university. the president told me, college students often can't rely on family support. the cost of travel is extremely high, the accessibility of access to travel is really low. in addition to childcare costs, and counsel bills, and resources and equipment, these indirect costs are hugely affected and affecting the grades that come out with them. james is training as a welder in holland. hands—on work and study at college, minimum apprentice wage is £3 70 an hour. james is not in touch with his parents. so it was a relief

when his employer put him up to £5. when you do not have family behind you, you have to pay and do stuff, you, you have to pay and do stuff, you might not think at this age, some people have to do it. walk behind me and you will see. more stu d e nts behind me and you will see. more students like selena are not going to university, the government says it support has increased, and a review is looking again at the cost ofa review is looking again at the cost of a studying in england. crowds have been gathering to catch a glimpse of a pod of killer wales which have been spotted swimming in west of scotland. it's the first time they've been seen in the upper part of the river clyde for many years. earlier my colleague ben brown spoke to david nairn, from the clyde porpoise marine mammal project and asked him why he thought they were there. looking forfood, i would imagine. the river is full of poor poisoners and harbour seals which either prey items for these animals. how unusual is it to see them there?

this is a transient group, we believe they are more commonly seen in shetland and over towards norway. we have a group of resident killer whales which usually live on the west coast of scotland, but it is quite rare that we have got this transient group coming into the upper reaches of the clyde. tell us about them, they are extraordinary creatures and we are seen some pictures of them. wonderful creatures. super intelligent animals and top predators around the west coast of scotland. we think we have about four or five females, a male and one calf so far. where would they normally be? we were saying how unusual it is for them to be there, but wherewith they normally be seen?

these transient groups roam large areas and can be seen all sure, but normally toward shetland and iceland and norway. it is quite bizarre that they are all the way down here. bizarre by wonderful, lovely to see them in rather blue looking waters. fantastic, the clyde is a great environment and it is great news for the whole area and there are people that live around the place. verne troyer, who is best known for playing mini—me in the austin powers films, has died at the age of 49. the actor had been ill recently and had a history of problems with depression and alcohol. simon clemison reports. he is exactly like you in every way... ..except one—eighth your size. but that never held back mini—me... i shall call him... ..0r verne troyer. ..mini—me. screams. the role of dr evil‘s smaller clone
