the queen opened the race, which was the hottest ever — organisers confirm they ran out of water at some parts of the route but back—up plans were in place. we know there were water stations eight, nine and ten. the team have then takena eight, nine and ten. the team have then taken a further contingency supplier that we had, and have resupplied every water station. and in half an hour — join the travel show on board the world's largest cruise ship — and meet the man in charge of serving thousands of meals to its passengers. good evening, and welcome to bbc news. four british people have died and 12 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 has the details. 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 to medina, when it was in collision with a fuel tanker yesterday. this trip was organised by this company here, in blackburn, it was an umra tour, which is a smaller version of the annual haj pilgrimage, and the company says the 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 then collided with the coach, and caught fire and set light to the coach. the coach is also understood to have overturned a number of times, at this stage, we understand poor people have died.

we understand four 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 are from the accrington, birmingham, wolverhampton, and northampton areas, and he said that his thoughts are with all those affected. obviously, it's 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 the first time anything like this has happened and it's very distressing. my father flew out this morning concerning the matter to go and assist the people and everything, so, you know, our condolences go out to the families. one of those injured is a girl who is five or 6 years old,

and injuries include serious headache, neck, and facial injuries, and the tour 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 that a number of british nationals have died in saudi arabia, and is providing assistance. one of those killed in the incident was 70—year—old raj beckham one of those killed in the incident was 70 year old raj begum hussain who was from blackburn. she was travelling with her younger sister who was injured in the crash. her family gave us this statement. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages, at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening, in the papers — our guests joining us tonight are journalist and broadcaster penny smith, and the financial times political correspondent,

henry mance. 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 the 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. 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, in a record british time. the organisers advised runners to take it slowly, and ordered extra water supplies, but there were some reports of shortages along the route. our sports correspondent joe wilson reports. the london marathon has a lwa ys always been and will be a tested in june, the most gruelling thing he would do in their lives but in today's heat, it risks become overwhelming. it was crucial there was enough water. showers doubt competitors call down and bottles to drink. but during the afternoon, organisers had to send lorries with bottles of water to parts of the course where there were reports of shortages. these finishes we spoke to felt the provisions had been adequate. water everywhere. people rushing to hack at them out of bags

to hand them out. lots of people struggling alongside the road, st john's ambulance had been amazing, all over the place. everybody helps each other out. just past the finishing line there are some truly exhausted people, triumphant but truly exhausted. the organisers have been urging everybody to try and pace themselves, but even some of the elite runners really struggled with that. sir mo farah, learning the marathon, struggled to find his drink at the feeding stages in the early stages. his frustration was obvious. his race became a battle to keep up with the established marathon stars. the champion in 2018. elliott chedjou agayev tenure as expected won. mo farah dug in, deeper than ever before, when he crossed the line he had finished third but in a time faster than any other british man had run before. even for him, this was tough.|j other british man had run before. even for him, this was tough. i did my best, it would have been nice to i’ui'i my best, it would have been nice to runa my best, it would have been nice to run a little bit quicker, but at the

same time when you set off at that kind of pace, it is really hard to i’ui'i kind of pace, it is really hard to runa kind of pace, it is really hard to run a lot quicker than that. look what an athlete can do to an athlete effect character. in the women's race, marie struggled to finish the day. kenya's vivien cherry had won, personal best for her but well outside paula radcliffe's world record time. an australian won the women's wheelchair race. look at the blistering finish in the men's event. the black, belongs to david weir, london champion for the eighth time. no one had witnessed a london marathon day as intense as this. joe wilson, bbc news in central london. well, as you've just seen, the heat was a major challenge for the runners this year. race director hugh brasher also spoke to kate grey, about the planning put in place to deal with the hot conditions. it really has been the hottest london marathon since 1981 when we

first started. it has been a huge amount of work that has gone into the planning of this event, and the teamwork that has gone in to make it happen is enormous. plenty to cheer about from the home point of view with mo farah getting the bronze, david weir winning the gold, i guess it has been great from that point of view as well? absolutely, sir mo farah has now announced and self on the marathon stage, absolutely. to run through halfway at world record pace, to beat some of the greatest marathon runners in the world, our reigning champion, and to stay with elliott, who is absolutely the class marathon runner, was incredible. david weir, the eighth title, we can not be happier. madison de rozario announcing herself on the scene, vivian cherry, the fourth fastest performance by a female athlete, some really amazing performances, especially in that heat. lots of exciting races, and the heat has

been the feature throughout. how have you manage things throughout the day, and has there been a real 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 11.5 litres of water per person actually out on the course. at this stage, we believe that we ran out of water at certain water stations. we know there were water stations eight, nine and ten. the team have then taken a further contingency supplier that we had, and have resupplied every water station, topped up every single water station, from 17 through to mile 25, and this event has been about the spirit of london, and the spirit of togetherness, and that has been done with our partners, tfl, the met police, the london ambulance services, it has really been an amazing team

performance, to take that contingency water, get it back out on the course, to top it up. and the tea m on the course, to top it up. and the team of volunteers, still runners coming through, we are still made event, we are coming to the end of the event, but really amazing teamwork and we really thank all the people and the volunteers that are still out on the course at the moment. 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 mis‘s 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's leaked report suggests that counterterrorism investigators could more widely 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, like m15, 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. 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, told me that pressure was increasing on the government over this. there's more stories have emerged about the treatment of some of the windrush generation. the pressure has increased on the government. we've now got a senior labour politicians accusing theresa may of presiding over racist policies. we've got labour and the snp calling on the home secretary to resign. so is their 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 don't think she is, however, could that change? absolutely, remember, we have had the apology from the government, the prime minister, 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 are been treated unfairly in the coming days, but if that compensation doesn't come quickly enough, if there isn't 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 the home office, about the government fozz on immigration policy and processes, because remember with brexit there are going to be huge changes on immigration. there will be a new system put in place for eu nationals currently living in the uk who will be untitled to stay here. and i think if the government is to gain any

confidence that it is on top of its immigration processes, and policies, as we leave the eu, then it needs to get a as we leave the eu, then it needs to geta grip as we leave the eu, then it needs to get a grip on this windrush situation very swiftly, but also extremely effectively. the headlines on bbc news: four british people die and 12 are injured in a coach crash in saudi arabia — the accident happened during an umra pilgrimage. the health secretary, jeremy hunt, is threatening social media companies with new laws if they don't do more to protect children online. 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. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre... a big weekend for you guys? yes, it

scribbles through the southampton defence to fire chelsea in front! the game opening up, chances at either end, first for eden hazard and then for southampton‘s nathan redmond, like many others at wembley, thought this was going in. i thought it was in! but it wouldn't bea i thought it was in! but it wouldn't be a big cup tie without a moment of controversy. his ball be a big cup tie without a moment of controversy. h is ball to ii; referee saw 1; referee saw it cross the line, the referee saw it asa cross the line, the referee saw it as a fowl, southampton denied their equaliser. well they fumed, chelsea fired, hazard again going close but it wasn't until the introduction of substitute alvaro morata that the game was won. morata! and chelsea are surely heading to the fa cup final. southampton will now return to their battle against relegation. they'll need more luck than they had here. a difficult day out for saints fans. chelsea's will have another next month. adam wilde, bbc news. there were three premier league

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. translation: 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. 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. police in northern ireland have warned against "street justice" after a video of an attack on a 16—year—old girl in bangor was uploaded to social media. it's been described as a violent, prolonged and vicious assault. two teenagers have been arrested. detectives are looking for two more. catherine morrison has the details. this image is taken from footage

filmed on friday in bangor, and circulated on facebook. the video is too graphic to broadcast. it appears too graphic to broadcast. it appears to show a teenage girl lying on bangor peer, being repeatedly punched in the face and head by another teenage girl. it lasts for several minutes. at one point, another girljoins in the attack. it is being watched and filmed by several other people. it is understood the victim's ordeal continued after the recording stop. she was eventually rescued from a fountain on bangor seafront by a passing motorist. this is a violent, prolonged and vicious attack and i think facebook has already removed those images because they were quite disturbing to look at. i also want to appeal to the public and reassure

them, this is an isolated incident, albeit in the daytime. them, this is an isolated incident, albeit in the daytimelj them, this is an isolated incident, albeit in the daytime. i am absolutely horrified and none that an incident can happen like this in bangor. it is completely shocking, i have never seen anything like it, it is totally not welcomed. the police say they have now identified all of those involved. the young victim has been treated in hospital. her injuries are believed to be so severe that medical staff were unable to x—ray her face. 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. it's told the bbc the current finance system is unfair, and doesn't recognise the real cost of studying. here's our education editor, branwen 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 my books for myself, but other than that, 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 from nicola she missed out as a teenage mum, now borrowing to study may limit her ambitions. 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, in addition to childcare costs, and council tax 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 studying at college, the 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 support has increased, and a review is looking again at the cost of a studying in england. of study 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 litoller, 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". let's see how the weather looks. after a taster of summer for many of you over the past few days, changes are afoot. the unusually warm weather we have had of late is due to thisjet
