the queen opened the race, which was the hottest ever, organisers confirm they ran out of water at some parts of the route but contingency plans were in place. i know there were water stations, eight, nine, ten, the team have taken further contingency eight, nine, ten, the team have ta ken further contingency supplies that we had, and resupplied every water station. verne troyer, who is best known for playing mini—me in the austin powers films, has died at the age of 49. and in 45 minutes, norwegian writerjo nesbo talks in meet the author. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the health secretary for england, jeremy hunt, is threatening internet companies with new legislation

unless they voluntarily come forward with safeguards to protect children's mental health. he's written to facebook, google and others, accusing them of "turning a blind eye" to the problems arising from social media use and excessive screen time. our business correspondent, joe lynam reports. samson, from leeds, has three children. unlike most dads, he restricts screentime to the weekend. it's all about balancing priorities. their priorities should be their education, and we should also have family time when these days when kids have got access to gadgets, then that will have a negative influence on our family communication. the health secretary wants a social media giants to do a lot more to protect children online, orface sanctions. writing to facebook google and twitter, jeremy hunt said they are turning a blind eye to a whole generation of children being exposed to harmful material.

he said it's unfair to parents and morally wrong. yes, the government are appearing to do something, but not actually doing anything. this is about bullying, cyber bullying, we have no control over anything, and to say to google, and facebook, it is your responsibility, it is not. it is our responsibility, our government, if we have to do something then we have to do something. ok, this is how the app works. google, who owns youtube, says it understood the concerns and introduced a family link to set the ground rules for children, including screen time limits. and when you see this, it is time to go out and play. studies found that children between five and 16 were spending more than six hours a day in front of computers and televisions. that is more than twice the time spent in front of screens 23 years ago, at the moment young people only need to tick a box confirming they're 13 years old, before using facebook or youtube.

so, are children, and adults for that matter, spending too much time online? we allow them to have 30 minutes in the evening, like six o'clock, after dinner. probably everyone is using the internet too much, including parents. it's not so much pressure, we don't have outlets any more, we rely too much on the internet and it's having an effect on communication skills. the challenge for any government, is how to curb excess internet use and reassure parents without stifling technological progress, or turning to the nanny state. four british people have died and i2 have been injured in a coach crash in saudi arabia. they were part of a group from blackburn and preston, travelling to medina on a pilgrimage. the travel company hashim travel, said there was a collision between the coach and a fuel tanker which then caught fire and set the bus alight.

our correspondent phillip norton is in blackburn and has the latest. what we know so far is that a group of 16 british pilgrims were on board a coach which was making an eight hour journey from mecca a coach which was making an eight hourjourney from mecca to medina when it was in collision with a fuel tanker yesterday. this trip was organised by this company here, and blackburn, it was a tour, which is a smaller version of the annual pilgrimage, and the company says the driver of the coach, was trying to ta ke driver of the coach, was trying to take evasive action after seeing oncoming car trying to overtake the fuel tanker, but unfortunately the fuel tanker, but unfortunately the fuel tanker, but unfortunately the fuel tanker then collided with a coach, and caught fire and set light to the coach. the understood to have overturned a number of times, at this stage, we understand poor people have died. a woman from blackburn and a man, mother, and sun

from preston, and 12 others have been injured in the crash. tonight i spoke to the director of the company, who told me that six people are still in hospital. he said the injured art from the accrington, birmingham, wolverhampton, northampton areas, and he said that his thoughts are from all those in —— affected. his thoughts are from all those in -- affected. obviously, it's devastating, it's more devastating for them, losing part devastating, it's more devastating forthem, losing part of devastating, it's more devastating for them, losing part of their family. we sent people, and we look at them as part of our family as well, and we have been doing it for 20 years and is the first time anything like this has happened and it's distressing. my father flew out this morning concerning the matter to go and assist the people in everything, so, you know, our condolences go out to the families. one of those injured is a girl who is five or 6 euros old, and injuries include serious headache, neck, and facial injuries, and the company says the relatives of those who died have been informed and we understand

that a number of them are now trying to travel to saudi arabia to be with those affected. the foreign office says it is aware of a number of british nationals have died in saudi arabia, and is providing assistance. the government is to increase the powers available to police and the security services to try and stop terror attacks at an early stage of planning. a document leaked to the sunday times, suggests counter terrorism officers will target up to 20,000 lower priority suspects. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds reports. the murderers behind last year's atrocities in britain. men who planned to kill innocent people. yet, only three were on the radar in any way before striking. and only one of those was being actively investigated. better intelligence at an earlier stage may have stopped some of this happening. today, the report suggests that counterterrorism investigators could share information up to 20,000 lower priority suspect. with various authorities in the hope

of receiving earlier intelligence of risky behaviour. such as, planning an attack. the government is already promising more staff for agencies, crucial to target a greater number of suspect. and, new powers have been promised. again, these are expected to focus on allowing police to move in at an earlier stage, when attack planning is less well advanced. already announced, are higher sentences for viewing terrorism content online. or publishing information about the police or military, for use in targeting attacks. the home office would not comment on the leaked reports, but said the coming strategy will be a comprehensive response to the evolving threat from domestic and international terrorism. tom symonds, bbc news. in afghanistan, at least 57 people have been killed and more than a hundred injured in a suicide bombing in the capital kabul.

the islamic state group says it was behind the blast, which targeted a cloud waiting outside a voter registration centre. zia shahreyar sent this report from kabul. the people who were killed and injured here have been waiting in line at this voter registration centre for identity cards that would have allowed them to vote in elections, due to take place in october. the suicide bomber walked up to the building's entrance, and detonated his bomb. this kid was innocent, what was she guilty of? she was killed today in this attack. these people call themselves muslims, curse on such muslims. look at this. this is a voting card, which is drowned in blood. who will come to vote when the government asks us to? the government hopes to register up to 1a million people in the coming months at thousands of centres across the country. but afg hanistan‘s

independent commission is concerned about security. election registration has been under way for a week, but there have had already been four attacks. islamic state claimed they have carried out this one. every attack undermines the credibility of president ghani's western backed government. it has pledged to hold parliamentary elections this year. zia shahreyar, bbc news, kabul. a record number of runners have taken part in the london marathon today, amid the warmest conditions in the 38 years of the event. more than 40,000 people embarked on the course, with sir mo farah finishing in third place in the men's race. the organisers advised runners to take it slowly and ordered extra water supplies but there were some reports of shortages along the route. our correspondent, kate gray has spent the day at the marathon. the highlight today has to be mo farrah, winning a bronze medal in a

british record time. he was cheered down, and when i caught up with me was happy with his performance. i'm pleased with that. today was a big, big marathon as you know, london marathon doesn'tjust have local guys, it has everyone in it. eliud kipchoge, kenenisa bekele, myself, daniel wanjiru, so many guys in that field, and to come away with third i'm pleased. it would be nice to have even pace but i had no choice, the guys were going for world record pace. 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 it give you, your about this now this is

your focus? if i you, your about this now this is yourfocus? if i can finish and a major race like this, i can continue and see what i do in 2019. brilliant result therefrom mo farrah, and then the rest of the masses follow that race, and as every london marathon has, plenty of inspirational stories. nonetheless, from david and matthew. you may remember them from last year when david was struggling to finish, matthew carried him across in a very london spirited way, and they ran again this time around supporting each other all the way and this is what they said. around supporting each other all the way and this is what they saidm has been so much fun out there, so much hard work i can tell you that. was it anything like last year when it came to fatigue and expecting something similar? nothing similar, but conditions have it today, yeah, i went out and kept the first half quite easy, and try to press on, but

it was not that kind of day for pressing, so the cloud, good to enjoy them, and try to knuckle down for the top —— tough bit. enjoy them, and try to knuckle down for the top -- tough bit. matthew, did you have to watch him and make sure he was dehydrated —— hydrated? we train together he was in good shape even with the heat he is sensible and ran well. it was amazing out there, incredible, so much fun, it was so top but the cloud keeps you going, and when i came across “— cloud keeps you going, and when i came across “ across the cloud keeps you going, and when i came across —— across the line and he was right there, first person i hugged it was nice. was a plan to stick together? no, it was natural, he just gone. stick together? no, it was natural, hejust gone. i did not stick together? no, it was natural, he just gone. i did not see stick together? no, it was natural, hejust gone. i did not see him during the course, so yeah, it was. . . during the course, so yeah, it was... there are so many people out there and you managed to stay together, what a brilliant way, you must be in tune with each other. in terms of heat, how much it did at that because that has been confirmed to be the hottest london marathon today. that's what i meant it being

tough, the courses grants or the crowds, the fellow writers were brilliant, i got to chat with somebody people shake their hands, it was such brilliant people out there, and the heat, yeah, it was just, unbearable really, it should rain. last year, you are the average marathon runner and what this beard of london award, it's amazing people really do like to see that human power taking over and getting back to each other. it's been an incredible year and it was an honour to be get the award and break to run this year with david. deserving winners of that award and brilliant to see them crossing the line together. plenty of other stories, but we cannot do without mentioning sobhi, you she has done six marathons over the past five years, and here she did her seventh, she was out in the sahara doing her

marathons, you would think she would be able to cope with the heat but she admits it was a surprise for her when she spoke to my colleague at the end of the race. very hot, i have run seven marathons and that was the toughest, really difficult conditions. you ran before and had it well, but this was market difficult? the first when i ran was 2011, and it was 21 degrees and i did not drink water, and i blacked out at 2a miles, today, it was hotter than that, i was much careful, and today i ran my heart monitor and did not pace myself, i saw how my heart was going and i kept saw how my heart was going and i ke pt stea dy saw how my heart was going and i kept steady and it was safe. you been doing lots of writing, so this must be easier. i was in the sahara, which is six marathons in five days and that felt harder, i was thinking asi and that felt harder, i was thinking as i was going, this is hotter than the sahara and i think the humidity has something to do with it. lots of

people. i've never seen this big cloud, they're everywhere, they were standing ten, 1520 deep the support was unbelievable. we do it next year? i'm sure i will, i'm addicted, don't know what's wrong with me, but i like don't know what's wrong with me, but ilikea don't know what's wrong with me, but i like a good metal, and the london marathon gives you a good one, so probably. congratulations there to sodhi, and another amazing achievement along with the other runners who have been competing here. it spinning out, nine as many finishing in the latter stages of today, and most will be feeling emotional, excited, but more than anything, really admitted to the end of what has been another very hot london marathon. i wanted to hear about big ben. see how he got on. well as you've just seen, the heat was a major challenge for the runners this year. particularly for big bend. race director hugh brasher also spoke to kate gray about the planning put in place to deal with the hot conditions. it really has been the hottest

london marathon since 1981 when he first started. it has been a huge amount of work that went into planning of the event, and that team work that went in to make it happen is enormous. plenty to cheer about from the home point of view with mo farrah getting bronze, i guess it has been great from that point of view. absolutely, sir mo farrah announced himself on the stage, it is absolute, to run halfway at world record pace than the sum of the greatest marathon runners in the world, tuesday with elliott, who is absolutely the class marathon runner, but was incredible, david had the eight title could not be happier, madison announcing herself on scene, vivian the fast passes performance by female very amazing

formants is, especially in the heat. lots of exciting races, and that the heat has been a feature, how have you manage things throughout the day and has there been an issue as a result —— result? and has there been an issue as a result -- result? 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 the stage, we believe that we ran out of water at certain stations, we know there were a few stations, the team then took further contingencies applied that we had it, and resupplied every station, topped up water stations from 17 mile 25. this event has been about the spirit of london, and the spirit of togetherness. that has

been done with our partners, tfl, the police, ambulance services, it has really been an amazing team performance to take that contingency water, get it back out on the course and top it up. and the team of volunteers, still runners coming through, still nude event, coming to the end of the event, but really amazing teamwork and we thank all the people and volunteers that are still out on the course at the moment. well the marathon, weather, and british record broken by sir mo farrah is going to betray many of the papers tomorrow, and stories we do not know yet. so you can find out what they are at 10:30pm at 11:30pm in the papers. our guestsjoining us are the journalist and broadcaster pennie smith, and the financial times correspondent henry. 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 used its conference in wales to intensify its criticism of the government's handling of windrush migrants, with jeremy corbyn saying that its policy has ripped apart people's lives. thousands of people, who came to britain from the caribbean after the second world war, have had their right to be here questioned, because of a crackdown on illegal immigration. our political correspondent eleanor garnier is in westminster, how much pressure is there in the government over this?”

how much pressure is there in the government over this? i think is more has emerged about it, pressure has increased on a government, we now have a senior labour politician, accusing theresa may the presiding over racist policies and we have labour and the s and p calling on the home secretary to resign, so is there pressure? absolutely. but tonight is the home secretary amber ruddin tonight is the home secretary amber rudd ina tonight is the home secretary amber rudd in a precarious position? no i do not think she is. however, cannot change? absolutely, remember we had the apology from the government from the apology from the government from the prime minister, from the home secretary, from other ministers about what has happened and we expect this week to get more details on that compensation for people who been treated unfairly in the coming days. but, if that compensation does not come quickly enough, if there is not come quickly enough, if there is not significant progress when it comes to helping people who have been affected by this, then i think

that pressure could increase. and i think this issue raises wider questions about home office and the government's grip on immigration policy and processes, because remember with brexit, there are going to be huge changes with immigration, a new system will be put in place, and for eu nationals currently living in the uk, who will be entitled to stay here. and i think if the government is to gain any confidence that it is on top of it immigration processes, and policies as we leave the eu, then it needs to get a grip on this wind rush situation very smoothly, but also extremely effectively. thank you for the update. 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 feel about that now? i met these two women are studying, childcare support for students does not cover all the costs. selena had to top up nursery fees 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 nicola missed out as a teenage mum, now borrowing 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 students says it's notjust about 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. james is training as a welder in hull. hands—on work and studing 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 like you might not think at this age, some people have to do it. walk behind me and you will see. more students like selena aren't going to university, the government says it support has increased, and a review is looking again at the cost of a studying in england. a menu from the first meal ever served aboard the titanic has sold for £100,000 at auction in wiltshire. the lunch was served to officers on the first day of sea trials in april 1912. second officer charles lietoller, the most senior crew member to survive, gave it to his wife as he left southampton. auctioneer alan aldridge said it was "one of the rarest menus in existence". 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... ..or verne troyer. ..mini—me. screams. the role of dr evil‘s smaller clone in the austin powers comedies brought him worldwide recognition. but his credits also include harry potter and men in black. hi! i'm verne troyer! more recently, verne troyer has been over here, entering the celebrity big brother house in 2009. i'm gonna play the nice guy but, you know, deep down, i'm going to be evil! cackles.

earlier this month, the actor was again admitted to hospital in los angeles as he battled with alcohol addiction. statements on his social media accounts highlighted struggles and also the issue of depression, but it is not clear exactly what has led to his death. # it's a hard knock life for us. yeah! verne troyer said his part austin powers grew as they saw what he could do. tributes have been led by its co—creator and the man he starred alongside. mike myers said troyer was the consummate professional and a beacon of positivity. simon clemison, bbc news. let's catch up with the weather and sea waves and store in the coming hours and days, matt taylor has the details. good evening, after a taste of summer over the past few days, changes are afoot. the unusually warm weather of late was due to jet strea m warm weather of late was due to jet stream buckle to the north helping
