the foreign secretary says britain will do what it takes to protect shipping in the gulf — after a uk—registered oil tanker was seized by iran. iran released film apparently showing masked gunmen storming the vessel. jeremy hunt today called on iran to reverse the "illegal act." we're looking for ways to de—escalate the situation, but we're also very clear

that we will do what it takes to ensure the safety and security of british and international shipping. all british airways flights to the egyptian capital cairo have been cancelled for a week — as a security "precaution". roses' hearts are broken. england wilt under pressure — narrowly losing in the world cup semi—final to new zealand. and exactly 50 years ago tonight, the first men set foot on the moon. good evening. the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt has expressed his "extreme disappointment" in a phone call to his iranian counterpart over the seizure of a british—registered tanker in the gulf yesterday.

he said the government would do what it takes to keep british and international shipping safe. germany, france, the netherlands and the eu have all called for the immediate release of the stena impero. iran has released a video which appears to show masked gunmen descending from a helicopter to board the tanker, as paul adams reports. this is the moment iranian revolutionary guards took over the stena impero, descending from a helicopter onto the deck of the tanker, as fast boats circled nearby. iran says the ship had broken international regulations following an accident involving a fishing boat. the ships owners have not confirmed this and say it was obeying the law. it's now being held at the iranian port of bandar abbas. we are calling on iran to reverse this illegal act. we're looking for ways to de—escalate the situation, but we're also very clear that we will do what it takes to ensure the safety and security of british and international shipping.

the tanker was making its way through the busy strait of hormuz, in omani waters, when it was intercepted. it made a sharp turn north towards iran, a clear sign that something was wrong. a british warship, hms montrose, was alerted and raced to intervene, as it did successfully with another british—flagged tanker just over a week ago. but this time, it was too far away. the tanker was already in iranian waters. to allow a ship to go out when we knew the iranians wanted to actually take a hostage is extraordinary, and it's hardly surprising. they said they would do it. several times they said they would do it and, lo and behold, they've done it, and now we've got in this very very difficult situation. tensions started to rise last year, when donald trump pulled the us out of a 2015 nuclear deal with iran and imposed crippling sanctions. iran grew increasingly frustrated. in may and june, it was blamed for a series of attacks

on international tankers. then, in a dramatic escalation, iran shot down an american surveillance drone. donald trump briefly contemplated a military response. and earlier this month, off gibraltar, the royal marines intercepted a tanker full of iranian oil that britain said was bound for syria. iran threatened to retaliate. today, iran's foreign minister accused britain of piracy. "it is iran", he tweeted, "that guarantees the security of the gulf and the strait of hormuz. the uk must cease being an accessory to the economic terrorism of the united states." what we have at the moment are two captured tankers and an angry war of words. mr hunt says he feels betrayed by his iranian opposite number. he says that javad zarif told him a week ago that iran wanted to de—escalate the situation, but that iran had done the opposite. the stena impero and its multinational crew, which does not include any britons, are now prisoners of iran's revolutionary guard, hostages

in a deepening geopolitical row. paul adams, bbc news. our correspondent tom bateman is in the port of fujairah on the strait of hormuz. there are 23 people on this tanker, do we know anything about how they are? well, it was in these waters just off the coast of fujairah here that the stena impero was living as anchor on what should have been a routine void west of here to saudi arabia. instead, tonight, there's 23 crew find themselves in the opposite direction off the coast of iran and out of contact with their families and with the glasgow—based firm that was managing the technical elements of this ship. i have been speaking with the ship has mac owners through the day to day and they have expressed anxiety for the crew. but they have said that tonight, via their insurance firm, speaking to a port manager in iran, that they know

the crew are in what they describe as good health, albeit the company has had no direct contact with the crew themselves. they are mostly indian and the company hopes they will remain safe, but they say they still do not know, of course, the fate of this ship. tom bateman, many thanks. british airways has cancelled all flights to the egyptian capital cairo for a week as a security "precaution". passengers about to board a ba flight to the city from heathrow airport were told that it was cancelled and that there would be no alternative flights for a week. matt cole reports. for some cairo—bound passengers, the first sign of trouble was when their boarding passes failed at check—in. others have told of confusion from ba ground staff as news filtered through that all the airline's flights to and from egypt's capital were being suspended. at one stage, the met police were called to deal with agitated would—be travellers. it is very disappointing and frustrating, especially to my kids and family.

we have a big family over there waiting to see the children. there was no information, there was no help, there was no advice on any alternative ways of getting there. it was just a case of, "ring this number", which of course you couldn't get through to. ba says it made the decision to suspend flights, but has given few details as to why, save for a short statement which said... the uk government says it is aware of ba's flight suspension but, other than acknowledging that, the foreign office has made no alteration to its long—standing advice for travel to egypt. and reeta, tonight we understand that another airline, lufthansa, and reeta, tonight we understand thatanotherairline, lufthansa, has suspended flights to cairo, again citing the need for a security

assessment. but we also understand that ba has been happy to facilitate some passengers' onward journey and other airlines for other countries into the egyptian capital, which seems to suggest that it is happy for passengers to land at cairo, just not on its aircraft. but ba does stress that the safety of its passengers and crew is its priority. thank you, matt. police are hunting for two men after gas was released on a london underground train this morning. they've released cctv images of two white men they want to trace. a number of people were treated at oxford circus station by paramedics. officers say their symptoms suggested that cs gas was used. ministers have promised to end the building of new developments in england with separate entrances for private residents and social housing tenants. the communities secretary, james brokenshire, said the so—called "poor doors" can stigmatise those in social housing. jenny kumah has the story.

social housing tenants in this development can only use this entrance, while those living in the privately owned homes here get to use this one. and for several years, the children of social housing tenants were prevented from mixing in this play space, as it was reserved for the wealthier families who had bought their homes. it did upset me, because i thought, "why are the kids separated?" there's enough hate in the world as it is. why do we want our kids to hate each other for what one's got and what one hasn't? it was really sad for us mums and for the children. the children used to watch through the windows down at us playing. we were like, "come down and play!" they were like, "we don't have permission". i was like, "we'll give you permission, come and play!" until recently, this wall went all the way across here and it meant that the children living in social housing here were segregated to this part of the development. it was only after a long campaign that this gate was put in and it enabled them to access the play facilities and open spaces that were available to the rest

of the private home owners on this development. many developers say the separate entrances allow housing associations to keep costs down, but it was media attention on the situation here that's inspired the government to announce a crackdown. i think it's unacceptable. it embeds this issue of stigma attached to social housing and therefore, we're going to be introducing new guidance, a new manual on design so that councils take this into account when considering applications of this kind coming forward. residents here agree. they say breaking down the barrier that separated their children has made it a better place to live. jenny kumah, bbc news. tonight marks 50 years since neil armstrong and buzz aldrin made history by becoming the first men to set foot on the moon. that momentous achievement is being marked by events all over the world. pallab ghosh reports. and liftoff. 50 years after a small step for man...

three astronauts heading to the international space station, 250 miles up, a far cry from the moon, more than 1,000 times further away. today, the american vice—president promised that the glory days would be back. america will return to the moon within the next five years, and the next man and the first woman on the moon will be american astronauts. the vice—president also paid tribute to these three men, who set off to the moon 50 years ago. three, two, one... we have liftoff. neil armstrong reporting the roll and pitch programme which puts apollo 11 on a proper heading. four days later, neil armstrong, buzz aldrin and mike collins arrive at the moon. as the lunar lander descends, neil armstrong notices that they're off—course.

instead of the preplanned smooth landing site, there are dangerous boulders. with fuel running low, commander armstrong takes manual control. the eagle has landed. roger, tranquillity. armstrong then descends onto the lunar surface. it's one small step for man... one giant leap for mankind. on tv all across the world, 600 million people were watching. it has a stark beauty all its own. it's like much of the high desert of the united states. it's different, but it's very pretty out here. at the time, all things seemed possible. yet three years later, the apollo programme ended and humans haven't been back since. it was america's flag planted, but this moment was an achievement for all humanity. pallab ghosh, bbc news.

with all the sport now, here's jane dougall at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england's dreams of getting to a netball world cup final are over after the commonwealth champions lost to new zealand. outgoing coach tracey neville said her side made "basic errors" as they lost 45—47. northern ireland finished 10th, scotland iith. our correspondent natalie pirks reports from liverpool. they say imitation is the highest form of flattery. tracey neville, who announced weeks ago she'd step down after this world cup, no longer has to bang her own drum. netball has captivated this liverpool crowd, but england fans knew it would be tough. they were not wrong. a jumpy start soon saw new zealand race into the lead. this is a collector's item, yet it wouldn't be the last mistake. england's tournament swagger had been replaced by thejitters. new zealand's shooters were on fire. that shot is so sweet.

the ferns were cranking up the pressure. england needed attackers harten and housby to finally hit their mark and, in the blink of a quarter, england had turned a six—goal deficit into a three—goal lead. the win was now in their hands, but they threw it away. new zealand attack again, with all the answers. with just minutes left, england were three goals down. mouths were dry. but with new zealand so brilliant at both ends of the court, the roses were left to rue mistakes, going down 45—47. heartbreak for england, withjust two goals in it, but knocked out by a resurgent new zealand side for the third successive world cup at the semifinal stage. is it down to legs, misunderstanding orjust a build—up of pressure? they did a greatjob on us. there were opportunities for us to take that game, and we left it too late. their seventh match in nine days just a step too far. the world cup final

remains elusive, for now. natalie pirks, bbc news, liverpool. shane lowry goes into the final day of the open with a four—shot lead after breaking the course record. the irishman delighted the crowds at royal portrush with a round of eight—under par. lowry‘s closest rival is englishman tommy fleetwood. our correspondent andy swiss was watching. everywhere you looked around portrush, the search for a potential champion was on, but, as it turned out, they didn't have to search far. another unforgettable day for shane lowry as, once again, he gave them plenty to shout about. come on, down you come. yes! roared on by a sea of support, lowry was simply sublime, a sensational 63 and the round of his life. the rest were left trailing in his wake. england's tommy fleetwood is his closest challenger,

some four shots back, while the others need binoculars. justin rose among a chasing pack, but some seven shots adrift. he can! he loves it! as lowry tapped in on the final hole, he surely had one hand on the claretjug. a deafening ovation for a dazzling display. he's had a few good days already. lowry‘s biggest challenge could be the weather. the players will start their final rounds early tomorrow because of the bad forecast, but on today's form, he'll take some stopping. andy swiss, bbc news, royal portrush. european champion laura muir eased to victory in the 1,500 metres at london's anniversary games, but the biggest cheer was for retired javelin thrower goldie sayers. she received an olympic bronze medal, 11 years late. russian mariya abakumova was stripped of her 2008 beijing silver for drug use. sayers said she was overwhelmed. there's more on the bbc sport website, but that's it from me. reeta.

you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodnight.

hello. this is bbc news. let's go back to the news that british airways has suspended all flights to and from cairo for the next seven days citing security concerns. in the past few moments, we've heard reports that the german airline lufthansa has also temporarily suspended its flights to the egyptian capital. earlier on, i spoke to christine shelbourne who was due to travel to cairo with british airways this evening for a week away with her 11—year—old grandson. she told me what happened when they arrived at heathrow. got to the airport, checked in,

fine, no problem, could not get in through the security gates, kept sending us back and nobody knew why. they eventually told us the flight was cancelled, by which time we had heard through other means that the flight had heard through other means that the flight had been cancelled. no information given. he was devastated. he had been looking to forward to it for so long. what is your view of how british airways have handled this? dreadful, numb information, no help, there was no advice on any alternative ways of getting there, it was just a case of, ring this number, of course you could not get through, and, you know, get your money back and look something else, more or less. i have travelled a lot since i was a child, and there have been problems with flights, but the flights have always found a way of finding another way of getting you there.

if their planes aren't working for some reason or another, they will put you on another flight. there was no help from british airways at all. let me tell you, we are told by a ba spokeswoman that we are rebooking customers who wish to travel this week on flights with alternative airlines. "customers who no longer wish to travel will be offered a refund." as far as we can tell, it is only ba who have taken this decision not to fly to and from cairo, other airlines are operating as normal, it would seem. what's your sense, then, of what you might do in the light of that offer? well, i still want to take him to cairo, and i might try to rebook it for another time later in the year but there was no indication of that offer given while we were standing there at the airport. too late for you now? i want to know why they were cancelled because if they're seriously is a security issue, then i would not be happy about

travelling anyway. not even with another airline? no, not at the moment, i would want to know what the reasoning behind it was. i am sure this time of the year, busiest weekend of the year, busiest week of the year, with holidays coming up, for british airways to be travelling, they would not have cancelled them lightly, so you wonder if there is something behind it all. but, i mean security is very important and they can do as much security as they won, but it is the way it was handled which was so disappointing. more information about that temporary suspension, by the german carrier, lufthansa, we are told by a spokesperson that two flights two cairo flights were cancelled, from munich and from frankfurt, to egypt, the airline says they expect to be back to normal tomorrow. a much shorter suspension than british airways, who is saying it will be

seven days that they will be not be flying to or from cairo. seven days that they will be not be flying to orfrom cairo. i think we can show you the statement that british airways have... can we do that? yes, ithink british airways have... can we do that? yes, i think we can. clearly, they are taking longer to get flights back to normal than luftha nsa get flights back to normal than lufthansa r. —— than lufthansa are. labour has set out plans to stop private companies providing council services in england.

shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell says if the party wins the next election, outsourcing of work such as rubbish collections, would end within five years. susanna mendonca reports. who should be responsible for local services like bin collections, your local councils or the private companies they might be paying to do it for them? it is called outsourcing, a practice that was supposed to make it cheaper and more efficient to deliver local services, but labour says it's led to councils often paying a high price for a poor job and if it were in government, it would bring an end to most outsourcing in english councils within five years. to put it simply, the business model of outsourcing failed and is broken, and that's why it needs replacing. so after year upon year of failures, the public themselves have lost confidence in the privatisation of our public services and the carve up of the public realm for, well, for private profit. labour points to the collapse of the construction giant carillion last year which saw work on its public contracts, like this super hospital in birmingham, come to a grinding halt when it went out of business. bringing local authority services back in—house is just one of the policy ideas labour

is rolling out as it prepares for a possible general election, but a government spokesman said it should be for councils to decide which services to let private companies run, notjohn mcdonnell. susana mendonca, bbc news. chris mason has been telling us that labour are pointing to exa m ples examples where labour run councils have already begun developing similar plans. in london, ealing, hackney, islington, newham and redbridge. all have brought council house management back in—house. in liverpool, it services back in—house, they reckon that could save £30 million over three years. their pitch is that it is misplaced and unjustified to believe that private contractors are cheaper and more has been the rationale, you offer services to the market and the can set back

nature of the private sector means you will their pitch is that it is misplaced and unjustified to believe that private contractors are cheaper and more efficient, that has been the rationale, you offer services to the market and the can set back nature of the private sector means you will get the best deal and you can save council tax payers money. labour say that is misplaced, their plan is a local council services act, that will make in—house the new normal and they are not saying to councils, you absolutely cannot outsource under a labour government. strikingly, they are saying that. but they are saying ten questions, and i will spare you all ten of them, but ten questions that councils must ask themselves before they chose outsourcers, for among them, outsourcers would be subject to the freedom of information act... they would have to offer conditions on wages, hours of works and terms and conditions no less favourable than would be offered by the council... they would limit the contractual period is offered to an outsourcer to the terms of the local democratic cycle. in other words, they are closing any

difference that would exist between the two, it would appear, and therefore incentivising councils to do it themselves. councils can do it themselves, if they feel inclined. yes, and the criticism made, and one conservative leader of a big council, oxfordshire county council, has made this argument to bbc news. leave us to make the decision and we will decide, and some we will take in—house and some we will outsource, depending upon what we think is best. if they don't like it, they can get rid of us. that is the argument coming back from the conservative, both locally and nationally. from the labour perspective, they want to tilt the dialogue, ideologically they are more comfortable with the public sector providing the services. —— tilt the dial. the challenge for local councils, even those who think this might be a reasonable idea, should labour be in government, is logistically, can they get together the expertise and the staff, to take on a service that they might not have directly provided for a generation.

the other issue is, and this is such a huge conundrum, academy schools, have control over their own budget, in the past those called had to buy services in from local education authorities, not like that these days. quite, in the changes there have been to the public sector and how the public sector is managed, over the public sector is managed, over the last generation, and then over the last generation, and then over the last generation, and then over the last ten or 20 years, there are significant structural changes. how quickly can a government coming in with a very different idea about the role of the public sector, change things and change things quickly, not least because there is a parliamentary term, a maximum of five years, and some of these contracts could eat into a significant amount or even all of that before they have expired. and the council is at first based trying to change the model. ina in a moment we will take a look at the front pages, but first, the weather forecast. a day of real contrast out there with the weather today, for many of us, beautiful blue skies, this was the picture earlier on in

hampshire. we have also had some big shower clouds, heavy thunderstorms, this picture taken in lincolnshire early in the day, torrential downpours, lying surface water, surface water, these showers, easing away, for the re st of these showers, easing away, for the rest of this evening and tonight, looking dry across all of the uk. long clear spells, wind falling lighter than they have been and temperatures still pretty warm, in fa ct, temperatures still pretty warm, in fact, ten to 14 degrees for most of us. fact, ten to 14 degrees for most of us. mild, fairly humid start to the sunday morning. through the day, sunday, not looking like a bad day, dry weather, sunshine, from the north—west, frontal system approaching, bringing rain to northern ireland through the middle parts of the morning and that rain will push across the western part. rain is heavy at times, accompanied bya rain is heavy at times, accompanied by a strengthening south—westerly wind. for the bulk of england and wales, staying dry all day.

temperatures generally between 18 to 24 degrees on sunday. and then as we look ahead, sunday night, this is when rainfall will get particularly heavy across parts of northern ireland and western scotland, really mounting up, could see some localised flooding issues as we head oi'i localised flooding issues as we head on into the early hours of monday. through monday, rain sitting on the north—west, for the rest of the uk, dry, sunny picture, feeling quite summery out there, temperatures on the rise. humidity also rising with this south or south—westerly breeze. temperatures by the time we get to monday afternoon in the region of 28, 20 monday afternoon in the region of 28,20 9 degrees, down towards the south—east, even further north, scotland and northern ireland, 24, 20 five celsius. —— 28,29. high temperatures across germany, and those winds are drawing up towards the uk. we could see the all—time temperature record beaten in paris, 41 celsius, forecast through the middle of the week. all that warmth
