good afternoon. a major incident�*s been declared by the authorities in kent, after a second day of gridlock around the port of dover. officials are expecting to process 10,000 cars today, and travellers have been advised to allow at least three to four hours to reach the port and clear all security checks. 0ur correspondent in dover, ramzan karmali, sent this report. the queues on the motorway leading into dover. it is becoming a familiar sight. yesterday's chaos seems to be repeated itself today

and for many holiday makers this has become the worse possible start to their summer break. but for those who set off early there was an air of optimism. i who set off early there was an air of optimism-— who set off early there was an air of optimism. i will see if question can sto of optimism. i will see if question can step but _ of optimism. i will see if question can step but so — of optimism. i will see if question can stop but so far— of optimism. i will see if question can stop but so far we _ of optimism. i will see if question can stop but so far we keep - of optimism. i will see if question i can stop but so far we keep creeping towards and it has been fine. the olice towards and it has been fine. the police seem _ towards and it has been fine. the police seem to — towards and it has been fine. the police seem to be doing a good job and getting the tourists moving and stopping _ and getting the tourists moving and stopping the lorries coming in on the a2, _ stopping the lorries coming in on the a2, because they are told to come _ the a2, because they are told to come in — the a2, because they are told to come in on _ the a2, because they are told to come in on the m20. how the a2, because they are told to come in on the m20.— the a2, because they are told to come in on the m20. how long would it normally take _ come in on the m20. how long would it normally take you? _ come in on the m20. how long would it normally take you? about - come in on the m20. how long would it normally take you? about two - it normally take you? about two hours so we _ it normally take you? about two hours so we are _ it normally take you? about two hours so we are into _ it normally take you? about two hours so we are into four- it normally take you? about two hours so we are into four hoursl it normally take you? about two i hours so we are into four hours but it is fine _ hours so we are into four hours but it is fine. ., , ., hours so we are into four hours but it is fine. . , ., ., , it is fine. cars and lorries continue _ it is fine. cars and lorries continue the _ it is fine. cars and lorries continue the try - it is fine. cars and lorries continue the try to - it is fine. cars and lorries continue the try to get i it is fine. cars and lorries - continue the try to get through the border control here. in fact 8,500 tourist vehicles tried to make the crossing yesterday and they is expected to be higher at 10,000 so officials are warning there will be delays and it is feared these delays could become commonplace throughout the summer. 3,000 lorry arings eckharteded to

make the cross, yesterday the port of dover boss blamed the french for not providing new stuff to carry out checks which are compulsory since brexit. today he is confident that situation won't be repeated. patter situation won't be repeated. after the terrible _ situation won't be repeated. after the terrible disruption _ situation won't be repeated. he the terrible disruption from yesterday and all the impact it had on travellers and our local communities i am pleased that police have turned one a strong complement of officers to man the booth, we have had 12 in from the early hour, which have another four on the way, and so the processing time through the port is improving. that and so the processing time through the port is improving.— the port is improving. that time throu . h the port is improving. that time through the _ the port is improving. that time through the border— the port is improving. that time through the border may - the port is improving. that time through the border may have i the port is improving. that time i through the border may have been reduced but the local mp still believes there is room for improvement further down the line. it is important we invest now, in order to make the most of those opportunities that we have, that means more border control facilities here lorry parking facilities to take the lorries off the roads, making sure we expand the a2 and having some additional border control facilities which we don't have now, so we need to invest in order to grow.

todayis order to grow. today is likely to be the port of defrays —— dover's busiest day with thousands trying to travel abroad for the first time in three years. ramzan karmali bbc news. danjohnson is in doverfor us. looking behind you things seem to be improving. looking behind you things seem to be imrovinu. , looking behind you things seem to be imrovin.. , ., ., improving. yes, we are told the backlo: improving. yes, we are told the backlog is _ improving. yes, we are told the backlog is starting _ improving. yes, we are told the backlog is starting to _ improving. yes, we are told the backlog is starting to clear, - improving. yes, we are told the backlog is starting to clear, but| backlog is starting to clear, but that it will take a long time to get everybody exactly where they need to be, the local roads in dover are moving quite freely today, but that is because so many thousands of cars and lorries are still held on the major roads, the main arteries coming into dover, so the advice is motorists should expect delays, getting to the port but things are starting to get better, they have been told to take food and water with them, it is a hot day in this part of the country today. it is uncomfortable if you are stuck in the car but at least things are starting to get moving, the war of words over who is to blame for this

goes on, politicians on this side of the channel says the french need to keep their staffing levels up here at the border to make sure that everybody gets their passport checked and get smoothly on to a ferry, the french are saying we have to understand this is an impact of brexit, that checks will take longer and the infrastructure here at dover isn't sufficient to get that number of cars and lorries through the port on such a busy weekend at this, the busiest of, there is potentialfor more disruption tomorrow, perhaps into next week and drivers are asking why this demand wasn't predicted, why the resourcing couldn't have been in place. thank you for that dan. danjohnson there. at bbc news, we're tracking the travel experiences of hundreds of holiday—makers this summer. if you've got a holiday planned and want to be one of our travelwatchers, go to bbc.co.uk/travelwatchers, and we can tell your story. the ukrainian port of 0desa has been

hit by a missile attack — the day after kyiv and moscow reached a landmark deal to allow the resumption of grain exports wth 0desa being a key part of that. under the terms of the agreement, russia had agreed not to target ports while grain shipments are in transit. moscow hasn't commented on the attack, which the us ambassador to ukraine described as "outrageous". rail passengers in the east of england have been warned of disruption to greater anglia train services because of strikes by union staff. members of the train drivers' union, aslef, are striking today and next saturday in a dispute over pay. greater anglia says replacement bus services will not be operating. donald trump's former chief strategist, steve bannon, has been found guilty of contempt of congress by a jury in washington. he failed to cooperate with a committee investigating the storming of the capitol by mr trump's supporters in january last year. bannon could now face up to two years in prison.

the conservative leadership candidate rishi sunak has pledged to get inflation under control at a campaign speech in margaret thatcher's home town of grantham. he insisted he was the only candidate able to beat labour at the next election — but also claimed he was the "underdog" in the race to become the next prime minister. 0ur political correspondent, matt cole, was listening. 0ne one can be wonder what she would have thought of the two candidates vying to occupy her own flat in downing street. to press his claim rishi sunak turned up in margaret thatcher's home town grantham, to begin campaigning in earnest. i do begin campaigning in earnest. i do believe what _ begin campaigning in earnest. i do believe what i _ begin campaigning in earnest. h gr believe what i am proposing economically is what i would describe as common—sense thatcherism. the number one economic change our country faces is inflation, and we must get a grip of inflation, and we must get a grip of inflation now, and not risk making the problem worse.— inflation now, and not risk making the problem worse. repeatedly saying his -a had the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to _ the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to tell— the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to tell the _ the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to tell the truth, - the problem worse. repeatedly saying his party had to tell the truth, the - his party had to tell the truth, the former chancellor said what his rival liz truss is proposing cutting

law by the end of the year. with the first head—to—head debate on monday the next few days of campaigning could prove crucial not least for winning support from conservative party members who can start voting this week when their ballot papers begin to arrive. with all the sport now, here's 0lly foster at the bbc sport centre. good afternoon. matt hudson—smith revealed that he tried to take his own life last year after a career plagued with injuries, but the 27—year—old had his best result on the global stage overnight, bronze in the 400 metres at the world championships, great britain's fourth medal in oregon. our sports correspondent andy swiss is there for us. the moment of realisation. a medal for matt hudson—smith, and few have fought so hard for it. in lane five, hudson—smith is the european champion at 400 metres, but he has been blighted by injuries. he had to miss last year's 0lympics, but finally he showed what he could do. america's michael norman

and grenada's kiranijames were beyond him, but he gritted his way to the gutsiest of bronzes. commentatorl: but it's - michael norman for the gold. kirani james, hudson—smith. .. after all the setbacks, all the struggles, you could see just what it meant. well, just look at matt hudson—smith. what a moment for him. he has had so many injury problems over the years, but now finally, he is a world medallist. it has been a whirlwind, like, these past three years — achilles tendon tears, hamstring tears, a lot of mental health issues, and that is just the start, like i said, so i'm going to enjoy it. but the performance of the day, indeed one of the performances of the decade, came from a america's sydney mclaughlin, as she beat her own world record in the 400 metres hurdles by nearly three—quarter others a second. commentator: sydney mclaughlin smashes the world record. - in a sport of the finest margins, a quite extraordinary feat and the defining display of these championships. andy swiss, bbc news, eugene.

keely hodgkinson is into tomorrow night's final of the 800 metres. the olympic silver medallist was first in her semifinal but fellow brit, jemma reekie, who was fourth in last year's tokyo final, failed to qualify. red bull's max verstappen will be favourite to claim pole in qualifying for tomorrow's french grand prix. the world champion topped the timesheets in final practice. he was a third of a second quicker than ferrari's carlos sainz who'll start sunday's race from the back of the grid after being penalised for changing engine parts. lewis hamilton was fourth. qualifying gets underway at 3 o'clock. denmark's jonas vingegaard is within touching distance of a maiden tour de france victory. he has a comfortable lead over the two time defending champion tadej pogacar ahead of today's individual time—trial. yesterday france's christophe

laporte held off the peloton, to pick up his first grand tour stage win. there was no change in the overall lead though, with vingegaard three minutes 26 seconds clear of pogacar. the 2018 tour winner geraint thomas should finish third overall, yeah, really satisfying, especially to prove a few people wrong, you know, i think after the past few years people thought i was done almost and finding a new role in the team, which i'm happy to do as well in certain races, but i have always said i always wanted to get into my best shape and see what happens to me. yeah, really satisfying to be right up there in the mix. there a bezzy afternoon coming up you can follow it all on the website. that tour de france time trial. the qualifying of the french grand prix and athletics highlights as well. you can see more on all of today's stories on the bbc news channel. the next news on bbc one is at 6.25.

bye for now. hello. you're watching the bbc news channel. let's just bring you up—to—date with some of the stories you may have just been seeing at there. we will return to the situation in dover, which is ongoing, although things do seem to be quieting down a bit and more control in the port of dover itself. authorities in kent have declared a major incident as long traffic jams are building up around dover for a second day running. delays are also being reported by travellers heading for the eurotunnel in folkestone, with traffic crawling on approaching routes. but the trains are running on schedule, we are being told. earlier i spoke to one such traveller who was stuck in the queue

up to passport control at the tunnel. once we reached the terminal, actually it has been quite smooth and the staff have been brilliant. however, from leaving junction 12 of the motorway it took us seven hours to get to the terminal, which is about two miles, i think. seven hours and two miles. who's travelling with you? it is two of our friends and three children in the back. how is it going? they have got a little bit fractious, but actually they have been very good, i have to say. we have played a few games, they have eaten a lot of food. i am glad we bought copious amounts of snacks and ipads. john keefe was just saying that the infrastructure is not there to cope with the growing numbers, but they are working on the infrastructure, with digital identification technology to make the traffic flowing into the port of dover a lot quicker. are you worried, as a family, as someone who travels,

about whether this willjust become more and more common? because it does not seem to have taken a lot for this chaos. yes, actually, iam. as i said, the process until here was not really the issue, it is the infrastructure of getting people to the channel tunnel. as we approached, all of the roads in all directions were just nose to tail, people out of their cars playing games at the side of the road. so i think actually the infrastructure around the ports, around the channel tunnel, really needs to be looked at because it is not fair on the locals who currently cannot leave their local villages, actually, because they are hemmed in by all of us desperately trying to get on a train we should have caught five hours ago. yeah, a local councillor was telling the bbc earlier today there is now a knock—on effect for those who live in the area as well, not just travelling to that area. what would your advice be for any families heading off this weekend your way? go and stay closer by the night before or sleep in the car park to be honest, would probably be

the best bet, i wish we had! she is still smiling and laughing about it though, which is the good old british spirit. the director of public affairs at eurotunnel gave his response to the delays. we asked people to turn up about two hours before their booked departure and we are moving them through onto the trains within one and a half to two hours, so we are on schedule and all of the processing through the terminal, through the border controls, is going according to plan as well. the congestion that we are seeing on the motorway is a combination of a number of factors. one is that there is lots of traffic about, obviously this is the big getaway weekend. the other one is there was a major accident on the m20 yesterday which caused a huge backlog and a closure of the motorway, so not only were passengers delayed, but also trucks were delayed and operation brock has had to be put into full swing, and that means that passengers are now being diverted off the motorway onto the a—road. that will inevitably slow things

down but whilst it is slowing things down on traffic moving through the county, it is actually bringing it to the terminal in an orderly fashion and we can then carry it pretty much straightaway. so the times on our terminal are being respected as we suggest to passengers. yesterday, the dover port authorities were blaming the french port authorities for the chaos we are seeing at the dover. the french authorities are saying an unforeseeable technical incident in the channel tunnel meant french border police were delayed going to dover. yes, there is no correlation between the two events. there was a technical incident at the tunnel early in the morning, but the problems at dover and the declaration of the critical incident had happened way before that, several hours before that, so the two things happened, they are coincidental, but there is no correlation between delays at the tunnel

and a major incident at the port of dover. what all this suggests though is that the infrastructure that is in place to get people from the uk to france and back again is very fragile, that it does not take much for things to go wrong and to see the chaos that we are seeing. is this something we should just expect more of as more people decide to travel post—covid and the pandemic, and there is more demands on the services of ferries and the eurotunnel? i think you have to look at the way the infrastructure was created. this infrastructure is created for borderless travel, so when the channel tunnel was built there were no requirements for passport controls, no requirements for customs controls on goods moving backwards and forwards between the uk and france, and that is different now. so the introduction of controls has some effect on the speed with which people will travel

through the tunnel. what is being done at the moment which, if you like, is the future is the digitalisation of all of that, so the move away from manual controls and the move towards the use of more biometric technologies, the use of smartphones for identity and the use of advanced passenger information. once we get to those stages, then things will improve, but as long as there are significant border controls like there are going into the eu at the moment, then inevitably it will take longer to get through the process. let's return to one of our top stories today, because in ukraine, less than 24 hours after a grain supply deal was signed with russia to guarantee the safe passage of cargo ships, the port city of 0desa has been hit by a missile attack. reports suggest several long—range

missiles were fired by russia — some were shot down, but explosions were heard and smoke was seen rising. this is the region where it was hoped millions of tonnes of grain would be exported in the coming days. 0ur correspondent paul adams is in kyiv for us. i think it is probably important to say we are still trying to verify if russia is behind this missile attack, but already condemnation of another russia attack, this time on 0desa, just after that plan that was agreed to is coming in. yes. agreed to is coming in. yes, condemnation _ agreed to is coming in. yes, condemnation from - agreed to is coming in. yes, condemnation from the - agreed to is coming in. yes, i condemnation from the united nations, from the united states, and certainly from plenty of people here in ukraine. we have seen the videos of the missiles that were fired. they do indeed look, as ukraine is to beat russian cruise missiles, so i do think anyone is in much doubt this is a russian attack, despite

the fact we have not heard anything from moscow to confirm that. of course the question is what on earth was the message here? coming as you say so soon after the agreement reached in istanbul, an agreement which would have absolutely set the scene the 0desa and the port of 0desa to be unblocked for the grain, the 20 million tonnes of grain, that has been stuck there since the war began to be exported out into the international market to address the mounting fears that the un has had a bad globalfood insecurity and mounting fears that the un has had a bad global food insecurity and the fear that some people in very vulnerable countries are going to be pushed closer into famine. all of thatis pushed closer into famine. all of that is now in jeopardy because at least one of those missiles, possibly two, landed in the port itself and according to the ukrainians, landed in the facility involved in storing the grain. so an awful lot of people, international shipping companies, the united nations, everyone is going to be looking at this and drawing probably

the starkest conclusion, which is we have a deal on paper but is it actually practical in practice? t5 actually practical in practice? is that any coming back from this? we know russia did make reassurances that this would not happen, those ports would be protected. timer;r that this would not happen, those ports would be protected. they did and that is why _ ports would be protected. they did and that is why everyone _ ports would be protected. they did and that is why everyone is - and that is why everyone is scratching their heads wondering why when the ink is barely dry on those documents, why would russia choose to do this? are they attempting to break the entire deal or is this simply a reminder that russia will not be coerced into doing anything and that russia will set the terms of any implementation of this agreement? perhaps that is the point of this. wejust agreement? perhaps that is the point of this. we just do not know. but whatever the intention, the effect is going to be to pause shipping companies, captains of vessels, all the people who will be involved in

making this actually happen, they will cause now and think this is even riskier than we thought it was going to be in the first place, do we really wanted to send our crews and our ships to a port and attack like this? ., ~ , ., ., ., and our ships to a port and attack like this? ., ~ i. ., ., ~ like this? thank you for that. all of us trying _ like this? thank you for that. all of us trying to — like this? thank you for that. all of us trying to make _ like this? thank you for that. all of us trying to make sense - like this? thank you for that. all of us trying to make sense of. like this? thank you for that. all of us trying to make sense of it, j of us trying to make sense of it, including our correspondence. we are waiting to hear back from russia, but as paul was expending there, there will be people working in that port and in other ukrainian ports and on the cargo ships really worrying about what this now means for their safety. i spoke tojohn stawpert, a maritime security expert at the international chamber of shipping, who told us the latest attacks would make the logistics of getting grain out of 0desa even more challenging. i think it will complicate things immensely. there is already a declared war risk area where ships have to pay an additional premium to traverse those waters. 0bviously, north of 45 degrees is closed to merchant

shipping at the moment, so these strikes will complicate the insurance and i think make it harderfor ships to be insured to go through the blue corridors that were agreed yesterday, assuming they are functional after this strike. it is thousands of miles away, but there are millions of people in east africa relying on this grain just to survive over the next few months. the charities trying to feed them right now are expressing concern that this plan, even if it does work, will take a long time to get the grain to the people who need it most. there are some significant operational hurdles which will need to be overcome to get this grain out of 0desa and the strikes this morning only make that more complicated. we do not know what the seaworthiness of the ships that are currently in port is, we do not know whether ships will be allowed into those waters from outside. we estimate you would need about 400

ships to take the grain cargo that is currently ashore in ukraine to the markets where it is needed most. that said, there was optimism yesterday that if everybody guaranteed the blue corridors, then the ships could start moving as quickly as two weeks from now, so it remains to be seen whether that is possible given the developments this morning, but i would be hopeful that with commitments from all the parties involved, we could start to see grain cargo going out relatively quickly. john speaking to me earlier from the international chamber of shipping. a man's body has been found after a 21—year—old man went missing in water in essex on the uk's hottest ever day. the discovery was made in jaywick this morning by emergency services who were searching for a man last seen in the water close

to clacton pier on tuesday. police said they are "liaising with international partners to contact the family of the 21—year—old" before formal identification can take place. if there's one thing that can ruin a day at the seaside, apart from the british weather, it's having your chips stolen by a seagull. now there's a new plan to stop them, and it involves a new type of music. crispin rolfe spent the day in beautiful bridlington, in east yorkshire, to see if it works. here is the problem. in the space of ten minutes — here is the problem. in the space of ten minutes they _ here is the problem. in the space of ten minutes they attacked _ here is the problem. in the space of ten minutes they attacked three - ten minutes they attacked three different people, taking their fish and chips. but different people, taking their fish and chi s. �* ., , different people, taking their fish and chi s. �* . , ,., ., and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls — and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls on _ and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls on the _ and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls on the prowl? - and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls on the prowl? my - and chips. but what is the solution to seagulls on the prowl? my son l and chips. but what is the solution i to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring — to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them _ to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them off— to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them off if— to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them off if they - to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them off if they got i to seagulls on the prowl? my son has been scaring them off if they got to i been scaring them off if they got to near _ been scaring them off if they got to near. �* , ., ., ., ., ,.,, , near. i'm stood next to a post, they cannot attack _ near. i'm stood next to a post, they cannot attack me. _ near. i'm stood next to a post, they cannot attack me. some _ near. i'm stood next to a post, they cannot attack me. some say - near. i'm stood next to a post, they cannot attack me. some say stop i cannot attack me. some say stop feedin: cannot attack me. some say stop feeding them. — cannot attack me. some say stop feeding them, others _ cannot attack me. some say stop feeding them, others at - cannot attack me. some say stop feeding them, others at state i cannot attack me. some say stop| feeding them, others at state coal them. —— coalthem. but
