to the top. a spectacular view that soon will be lost. unless we build something they'll probably never be another one, with technology as it moves on, but it is still used as a waypoint, people still look at it, even local fishermen when they are coming in, they know they are close to home. the erosion has been unforgiving. in 2005, the last lighthouse keeper paced the distance to the sea. the lighthouse trust now hopes to save what it can. this was built as an oil store to store the sperm whale oil which was used to light the lantern. you can smell the oil. absolutely, over 100 years old, electricity was used to light the lighthouse from the mid—19205, yet you can still smell it. so we have to continue that.

the trust wants many people as possible to visit the lighthouse before it becomes unsafe. you get an idea of how close the sea is. if you look, you can see the beachhead either way, in line with the doorway. it probably would have gone if not for these defences. yes, or lapping around the cellar. the lighthouse could fall into the sea — in truth no one knows. but now the hard work begins to save the wonderful artefacts, the lantern and all the fixings, to recreate a smaller version on firmer ground inland. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello, we have been chasing large amounts of cloud around today stop for some plenty of sunshine, that was the case in guernsey. barely a

cloud in the sky but for others, it has been more extensive. this was taken in has been more extensive. this was ta ken in suffolk. has been more extensive. this was taken in suffolk. for others, we have had heavy showers, particularly gci’oss have had heavy showers, particularly across eastern scotland and the pennines into the midlands. they are starting to lose their energy but a couple of drizzly showers may work their way. for most it is a trite night with clear skies across northern ireland, western scotland, wales and south—west england. temperatures between 11 and 13 celsius. it isn't it we have high pressure from the west. we have stronger winds today but they will lose their strength. across the southern uplands and the pennines, may be across the southern coast. for most, a dry day with large amount of cloud but we will see spells of sunshine, especially

across northern ireland, feeling warmer. for most, fairly light winds fire from some eastern coast. a brisk breeze taking the edge of highs of 18 or 19 celsius. typically, we are looking at 19—23dc asa typically, we are looking at 19—23dc as a top temperature. some fine conditions for the final of the cricket world cup. it will feign and break, with spells of sunshine and temperatures at lord's getting up to 21 celsius. monday is a similar day with an area of high pressure. i suspect we will see hardly any showers at all. the best of the sunshine with cloud building, temperatures up a notch. 19—24dc by the time we get to monday. three tuesday and wednesday we have an area of high pressure in charge but out in the atlantic, frontal systems working eastwards so by the time we get to thursday, most of us will be seeing some rain but for tuesday and

wednesday, most stay mainly dry with good spells of sunshine and temperatures starting to rise but turning wetter by thursday and friday. goodbye.

hello, welcome to bbc news. borisjohnson boris johnson and jeremy hunt borisjohnson and jeremy hunt have defended the right of a journalist to publish leaked government documents after police warnings it could be a criminal offence under the official secrets act. scotland ya rd the official secrets act. scotland yard is investigating the leak and publication of dispatches by kim darroch, documents that were critical of the trump administration. kim darroch resigned. it led to the ambassadors resignation and caused a furious row about press freedom and what people should be able to publish. scotland ya rd should be able to publish. scotland yard has warned publishing further

lea ks could be yard has warned publishing further leaks could be a crime, last night urging media to return any documents to the government. many have raised concerns including the candidates to be the next prime minister. you cannot —— it cannot be conceivably right that the newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material should face prosecution. it is embarrassing but it is not a threat to national security and it is the duty of media organisations to bring new and interesting facts into the public domain. jeremy hunt said jonas said judge if the leaks are in the public interest. it is important to defend any free society at the rate of the press to publish material that they think is in the public interest, leaks that they get must not breach the official secrets act. scotland ya rd the official secrets act. scotland yard believes it does exactly that. ina yard believes it does exactly that. in a statement the assistant commissioner said:

in a statement the assistant commissionersaid: however, in a statement the assistant commissioner said: however, we have been told... that is a clarification after a barrage of criticism that again there is a warning. journalists cannot use the defence of public interest because it does not apply to state secrets. prosecutors would still face a public interest test if they wanted to mount a case in the first place. the decision to launch that initial enquiry into the leak has been welcomed by politicians. there was a real anger here at westminster that kim darroch was forced to resign and that relations with the united states were damaged by that leak. there is considerably more reluctance when it comes to the idea that journalists more reluctance when it comes to the idea thatjournalists could be prosecuted too. we've heard that

from senior conservatives, the labour leader, jeremy corbyn sein journalists need to be protected when it comes to these sorts of stories. the question now is how and when that result may be tested with speculation could be more leaks to come. the social media giant facebook is facing a record $5 billion fine in a settle m e nt facing a record $5 billion fine in a settlement with us regulators on breaches of its privacy. the information was passed on to another company which then targeted users with political messages. our technology correspondent reports. facebook has become the largest player with more than 2 billion users. the data it holds is one of the worlds most valuable commodities but it fails to protect that information. personal details of

users including ages, marital status and political leanings were harvested. mark zuckerberg has apologised but now regulators are set to impose a massive 5 billion dollar fine set to impose a massive 5 billion dollarfine on his company. five yea rs dollarfine on his company. five years ago around 300,000 facebook users took part in a personality quiz. it gathered information on them and their facebook friends, around 87 million people. it is claimed the data was used for political purposes, including helping elect donald trump to the white house. it is alleged the british political consultancy but the data and used it to identify potential supporters and sent them political messages. facebook has consistently, aggressively violated consumer privacy and i believe in the us it is a calculated decision. i think the company has prioritised growth at any cost. this book is that nothing so far that the

penalty. —— facebook has said nothing. many democrats and sub—republicans nothing. many democrats and sub—republica ns have criticised nothing. many democrats and sub—republicans have criticised the penalty —— some republicans. for one of the worlds richest companies it is merely a slap on the wrist. iman has been stabbed to death in birmingham in what police said may have been a targeted they were called to the scene last night and the man in his 30s was confirmed dead at the scene. if iran guarantees a ship will not go to syria... it last week on suspicion of violating sanctions against syria. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt says he has had a constructive conversation with iran's foreign minister and wanted to resolve the issue. in somalia at least 26 people including a british citizen have been killed in an attack in a hotel.

the authorities say a car bomb was detonated and a gunman stormed the building. a prominent canadian somali journalist and her husband i thought to be among the dead. his most —— analyst... louisiana is braced for hurricane barry. tens of thousands of homes and businesses are without power. our correspondence is there. how concerned are people on what preparations are being made? that slow—moving tropical storm that has been hovering off the coast of louisiana for the past couple of days and has formed itself into a hurricane. it is coming ashore. it isa hurricane. it is coming ashore. it is a terrifying prospect for all those living directly in its path. more than 60,000 people are without power, planes have been cancelled, oil rigs evacuated. here in new o rlea ns oil rigs evacuated. here in new orleans it is not the winds that are

causing concern but the amount of rain. forecasters are predicting up to two feet of rain could fall within the next 48 hours and it will land on saturated ground. this street i'm standing above was flooded only three days ago. the mississippi river riverjust a couple of hundred yards away has been at flood levels for many months. add to that the extra rain and a storm surge has been predicted, some form of flooding seems inevitable. people have made their preparations, all they can do now is sit and wait. and simona halep is the new wimbledon women's singles champion, crashing serena williams's hopes of a record win. it was a day when wimbledon dream was realised whilst another was

ruthlessly dashed. serena williams emerged to royal approval but simona halep clearly hadn't read the script. halep won the first four games in11 script. halep won the first four games in 11 magical minutes. what a start. taking the first to set any blaze of brilliance. desperately williams dug deep, at last some flickers of that familiar fire. but they were soon snuffed out. in less than an hour it was all over. simona halep is the wimbledon champion. cue delight and utter disbelief. halep had produced the performance of her life and her opponent knew it. she literally played out of her mind, congratulations simona. wow. literally played out of her mind, congratulations simona. wowm literally played out of her mind, congratulations simona. wow. it was my mums dream, when i was about ten or 12 she said if i wanted to do something in tennis i had to play

the final of wimbledon so the day came. thank you. what drama the fans have seen. most are expecting to see serena williams make history but instead they have a new champion. as afan of instead they have a new champion. as a fan of the duchess of cambridge, things got even better. really well done, honestly. a quick chat before even more cheers. for it simona halep the perfect ending to a near—perfect performance. yes, what a winfor near—perfect performance. yes, what a win for simona halep, her second grand slam title. as for serena williams she will be hoping at the age of 37 her chances of making history weren't over yet. there is more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. now on bbc

one, ten for the knees where you are, goodbye. we choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard. so said presidentjohn f kennedy in 1962. on july the 16th, 1969, three astronauts, neil armstrong, edwin "buzz" aldrin, and michael collins, made ready to fulfil that promise as they prepared for apollo 11. the first crewed mission to land on the moon. three men to represent the culmination of a dream.

here at nasa in houston, texas, mission control monitored every aspect of the moon shot. these days it's used to monitor the international space station, the actual control room used for the apollo 11 mission is undergoing a bit of a refurb in honour of the 50th anniversary. marcos flores is one of the current mission controllers for the iss. there was no guarantee that apollo 11 was going to be successful. i mean, it was really cutting edge, dangerous stuff, wasn't it? yeah, definitely. there was a lot of risk involved in the missions themselves and how dangerous they were, but also a lot of unknowns in terms of being able to successfully land on the moon. the 36—storey tall saturn v moves out of its huge assembly building and heads for the launchpad. to build the launch vehicle, nasa contracted boeing, north american aviation, the douglas aircraft company, and ibm to help build a rocket that would end up being the biggest and most powerful ever built.

call that a rocket? this is a rocket. inside here is the saturn v rocket. stage 1 gets you off the launchpad and up to a speed of 6000 mph. two and a half minutes later all of this fuel is burnt. you don't want to carry an empty casing into space so you ditch it to save on weight. then five rocket engines in stage 2 ignite and send you into the upper atmosphere. at 115 miles up all that fuel is gone, too. you ditch the second stage.

and this rocket on stage 3 fires you around the earth and into orbit. then it powers down and, a little while later, it restarts. this time it sends you to the moon. so here's the thing. that bit there. that's where the people sit. all the rest of it is fuel. laughter while the rocket was incredibly powerful, so, at the time, was the computing power required for the apollo programme. even though in popular culture the computers of the day, which in this case were giant mainframes, are often compared unfavourably to contemporary technology.

the 360 75 that we used was a 1 mip machine — one million instructions per second. and it had 1 meg of real memory or1 million bytes of real memory and 4 million bytes of auxiliary memory. the numbers you hearfor the iphone that i own are anywhere from 10,000 times as fast as that to even a million to maybe even — i think i've seen one that was 100 million times as fast. homer programmes the actual code used for the descent and ascent of the lunar landing module. and onjuly the 20th 1969 it kicked in, as neil armstrong piloted the lunar lander onto the moon's surface.

we've had shut down. the eagle has landed. at 0239 hours armstrong exited the landing module and uttered the immortal phrase. that's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. now, as any good tourist knows, photos are a must. armstrong and aldrin also left a plaque and a flag. and took a phone call from president richard nixon. hello, neil and buzz, i'm talking to you by telephone from the oval room at the white house. and this certainly has to be the most historic phone call ever made. and what did we learn from the apollo missions that we still use today? we are leveraging a lot of the experience that we gained with the vehicles themselves in terms of the rocket design, the capsule design, and what it

takes for us to safely, you know, send that body up to space and bring it back down. a recent poll suggests that one in six britons believe the moon landing was staged. in the age of the internet, conspiracy theories run rampant, and claiming the moon landings were a hoax is at the head of the pack. companies like nvidia have tried to use technology to prove the moon landings did happen. they built a 3d render using a powerful graphics processing unit, which realistically represents how light behaves on the moon, debunking popular conspiracy theory about the lighting in the moon landing images being wrong. well, we decided to do some digging on our own and examine the evidence that proves, yes, human beings have landed on the moon.

jonathan swift, the famous novelist, satirist — "reasoning will never make a man correct an ill opinion by which reasoning he never acquired." if someone has an unreasonable opinion about something, based on nonsense, it doesn't matter how much reasoning you do with them, you're never going to reason them out of it, because reason didn't get them there to begin with. there are the famous ones, that you know, the fact that they didn't actually go to the moon, actually launched the rocket and orbited the earth, for a few times, pretended they went to the moon, and came home. oh, radiation, that's the other one. there is no way they could have gone through the deadly van allen belt that surrounds planet earth. there's the anomalies with the photographs, all of which are ridiculous. stanley kubrick directed it in a film set in area 51, somewhere in the desert. the technology to fake the moon landings did not exist in 1969. the technology did exist to get to the moon in

1969 — just. radio: three feet down, 2.5, picking up some dust. big shadow, it's different but it's very pretty out here. the lunar surface cameras were based on our 500 el systems. we had many modifications. the viewfinders, and the mirror system, all of this was removed to save weight, which then locked into a chest bracket on the astronauts suit. and it was literally moving their body, tilting their body, to frame up the images. you can't see any stars because the contrast range of the surface images is too high. if it's a bright day and you stand outside a house and open the door to the house and look in, you can't see any of the detail because it's too bright where you are. so this is as close as a modern equivalent as we would have. it has a 100 megapixel sensor. if we took it to the surface today would not be able to capture stars

and lunar surface detail in the same image. radio: oh gee, that's great. is the lighting here decent? one of the issues of doing it in a studio is the dust on the moon. and when there is no atmosphere, dust behaves differently to when there atmosphere. so now you would have to have a studio that you evacuated and had a vacuum in. the lunar mission comes as a climax of the space race that the united states and soviet union have been competing in since the mid— 1950s for technological and scientific supremacy. the soviets possessed advanced tracking capabilities of their own, and have used them to track icbm missiles as well as spaceflight. so their inability to detect a conspiracy of this nature seems unlikely. moreover, they would have had every incentive to expose this in order to score a major propaganda victory. apollo engineers were very well aware of the van allen belt. a, it wasn't in them for very long, and b, it charted a course actually

where the van allen belt it is quite weak anyway. you would think that having moon rocks on the earth would be living proof that the conspiracy theories can be debunked. those rocks are still being studied today. some of them are sealed up, never yet been touched, because the scientists, even back in the '60s in the '70s, knew that technology would get better with time and they would be able to make new scientific discoveries. we have, left by the apollo astronauts on the moon, retro reflectors, these are passive experiments, where, a bit like cat's eyes, we can fire a laser at them. bounce lasers from the earth to the moon to understand the changing behaviours of the moon and its orbit. it is sadly not enough for the deniers, they will always see conspiracy. while conspiracies have been around for decades, they certainly have a new lease on life in the age of the internet. things like facebook groups, let all these disparate ideas where people come together and find

each other in a way we have never had before. so the romans had conspiracy theories, theyjust didn't have the internet. now we still have conspiracy theories, because we are humans and our brains are fallible, and we have the internet, it's a perfect storm. that is it for the short cut of click. there's loads more brilliant space stuff in the full—length version. that is waiting for you on iplayer. and next week we will be back to look even further into space. thanks for watching. and we will see you soon.

hello, most of us have had a mainly dry day with spells of sunshine. for others there has been showers across the eastern side of scotland, across the eastern side of scotland, across the pennines down into the midlands. some rumbling around this evening and overnight, losing some of their energy. we could see some showers developing across south—east england. it is mainly dry. clearer skies the further west, temperatures typically between ten and 13 celsius. into sunday, there is a variable cloud. bright and sunny spells across northern ireland and the western coasts. still the chance of sunshine for wales and southern england. later winds, a brisk breeze on the eastern coast. typically tomorrow, we are looking at 19—23dc. things stay dry and pleasantly warm and monday and tuesday. temperatures starting to climb but we could see

rain later on wednesday and thursday. this is bbc news. the headlines at seven. the metropolitan police reiterate that publishing leaked diplomatic telegrams could be a criminal offence. the warning follows the resignation of the british ambassador in washington. the police have been criticised for threatening prosecutions of the media over the leak. it cannot conceivably be right that newspapers or any other media organisation publishing such material should face prosecution. the foreign secretary, jeremy hunt, speaks with his iranian counterpart — saying the uk will assist with the release of an oil tanker — — if tehran assures the cargo is not bound for syria. facebook is reportedly fined a record £4 billion — to settle an investigation into violations of its
