doing cardiovascular work but as soon as you challenge her in more of a chaotic environment, tracking the ball for example, that is where it is getting more difficult. masks we re is getting more difficult. masks were introduced in 2015 to protect players on corners, but no headgear is one for the rest of the game but with the world cup days away, experts are focusing more on awareness as they say that ultimately, there is no way to protect against concussion. there are undoubtably will be some concussion that goes on during the games, and it is making sure that they are treated appropriately. we have just had the football world cup and there was at least one high profile incident where the protocols we re profile incident where the protocols were ignored. it is shocking that on the biggest stage of all it is allowed to happen without being challenged. hockey is trying to improve and look after things and thatis improve and look after things and that is great but is enough being done to get the message down to the grassroots level? no sport can afford to be complacent in that task. so, lots of questions for

with knives drove a van into pedestrians on london bridge before launching an attack. eight people were killed, but the number could have been higher if it hadn't been for the bravery of those who stayed to help. one of the first on the scene was pc wayne marks, a police officer with the british transport police. he was severely injured trying to fend off the attackers with only his baton. bravery was the furthest thing from my mind. what was going through my mind was that people were hurt and dying. the only thing that was going through my head and basicallyjust hold on until the cavalry arrived. and back—up did come. pc leon mcleod, and off duty police officer, charles guenigault. autopilot kicks in, and you just do what you think you need to do and that's what it was. i wasn't really thinking too much ahead or even what i was doing, it was just kind of an automatic reaction really. when i wake up, i see the scars
6:54 pm
on my face, on my body, and i know what i did. i know how i came through it. there's no point in trying to hide away from it, you just have to accept it and hopefully it changes you for the better. all three have been recognised by the queen for their bravery, included on this year's civilians gallantry list. also listed are the two people who helped save charles' life. ellen gauntlet and her boyfriend justin jones. even when the gunshots were going off, they stayed and took me to hospital, stayed with me in hospital until they basically knew that i was going to get through it really and i cannot thank them enough. the romanian baker, florin morariu, who threw two bread crates at the terrorists and shouted passers by trying to escape was also recognised. not all who showed bravery survived that night. ignacio echeverria, a spanish banker, was killed trying to defend a woman using his skateboard. 0n the anniversary of the attack, ignacio's father spoke about his son's courage.
6:55 pm
translation: i think ignacio did what he had to do. i didn't expect anything less. his son and australian nurse kirsty boden, who was killed as she tried to save someone's life, were also given awards. the scars of that night have still not faded. but after a difficult year, the awards are recognition of the fearlessness shown that evening. i couldn't not do anything. and it's the same that goes for many of my colleagues that night and many of the people there. you know, you see people in danger and it's just the will to do something. caroline davis, bbc news. the race is on to develop the first flying car: aston martin has a prototype in development,

and now a company called kitty hawk, which is owned by the founder of google larry page, has developed a version. it's taking pre—orders for its model — and our north america techonology reporter dave lee has been to see one in las vegas. so here it is, the kitty hawk flyer. i'm sitting in it right now. it's very very simple in here, just two controls — one for altitude, one for the direction of where this thing can go. around me you'll see there are ten propellers, ten motors that keep this thing in the air. essentially, i guess you could say it's just basically a big drone that a human being can fit in. right now, they limit the speed, to around six miles an hour. the battery life will keep it going for around 20 minutes. all of that will improve in time, they certainly make it go faster right now, butjust to be cautious they are keeping it around six miles an hour.
6:57 pm
in terms of when you can get one of these, the company is taking preorders right now. they won't tell us exactly how much it's going to cost, but they say it's going to be comparable to a high end electric car, so the tens of thousands of dollars, i guess you could say. but what we're sitting in, many people think is a glimpse of the future. they say their goal is to eliminate traffic, and that's a goal i think many of us can get behind. whether it will be in one of these, that remains to be seen, but it's certainly aer have very interesting and futuristic concept. now it's time for a look at the weather with ben rich. good evening. anotherfine day for many of us but cloud has slowly but surely been increasing across north—western areas. that is a sign ofa north—western areas. that is a sign of a change, a temporary one but he changed nonetheless. rain moving in
