Police are warning that disruption at the Port of Dover could last

:00:19.:00:22.

They say motorists are currently experiencing delays of up to ten

:00:23.:00:28.

hours on roads getting to the port, and there are 80 minute waits

:00:29.:00:31.

Officials are blaming the volume of holiday traffic and stricter

:00:32.:00:36.

French security checks in the wake of the lorry attack in Nice.

:00:37.:00:39.

A family holiday abroad is not supposed to start like this.

:00:40.:00:52.

Hundreds of people were forced to queue for hours for the roads into

Yesterday tailbacks from Dover stretched all the way back to

:01:12.:01:17.

Folkestone, the 820 and the A2 into Dover were gridlocked.

:01:18.:01:21.

Holiday-makers waiting to reach the port suffered in the heat. The

:01:22.:01:24.

situation is easing today, the travellers are being subjected to a

:01:25.:01:30.

weight to reach border security. The Port of Dover says there are six

:01:31.:01:34.

security lanes in operation today. Yesterday there were just three. The

:01:35.:01:39.

doubling of capacity appears to have eased to traffic congestion around

:01:40.:01:43.

the town. The Dover MP says the situation open the last few days has

been intolerable. I think there is a real issue that

literally end the checks altogether and wave them through, which is the

all right, it is just me and him. I am shattered. Kent Police say

:02:26.:02:31.

although the traffic congestion appears to be easing, they expect

:02:32.:02:34.

delays to last at least until tomorrow.

:02:35.:02:38.

You find me on the A2, the northerly drug into the Port of Dover, about a

:02:39.:02:45.

mile and three quarters away from the centre of town. Although it is

:02:46.:02:50.

fairly clear at the moment, the Port authority says it is still around

:02:51.:02:54.

two hours before you get through security, and for that reason they

:02:55.:02:57.

urge anybody trying to leave the port today to bring plenty of food

:02:58.:03:02.

and water just in case the situation changes for the worst.

:03:03.:03:03.

let me just say this to Labour Party supporters,

Labour members, members of the Parliamentary Labour Party,

we've got to stop this now. And there's little chance Labour's

is expected to make a final decision today on whether to ban the entire

Russian team from the Rio Olympics following evidence of widespread,

state-sponsored doping. It would be the first time

:05:16.:05:18.

an entire country has received such a punishment,

:05:19.:05:21.

and comes after Russia lost its appeal against the ban

:05:26.:05:41.

the most momentous decision in the 122 year history of the IOC, they

:05:42.:05:44.

must decide if the entire Russian squad will be banned from Rio

following the damning report showing state organised doping, very

expected within the next few hours. Whatever happens, Russia says it

:05:59.:06:02.

will fight on if it is kicked out, believing this will be a politically

:06:03.:06:06.

motivated decision, so all to play for. It will go on past this point

:06:07.:06:13.

and perhaps even overshadow the start of the games. Thank you.

Finance ministers from the world's leading economies meeting in China

:06:16.:06:18.

have warned that Britain's vote to leave the EU has injected

:06:19.:06:20.

The G20 summit said there was a danger that the talks

:06:21.:06:24.

on Britain's departure could become acrimonious.

:06:25.:06:26.

But the Chancellor, Philip Hammond, said the uncertainty would subside

:06:27.:06:28.

once Britain laid out its vision for a future relationship

:06:29.:06:31.

The key element here has been colleagues wanting to explore

:06:32.:06:34.

with me how we're going to respond to the short-term challenges

:06:35.:06:37.

that the Brexit decision presents - for the UK economy and for,

:06:38.:06:41.

more widely, the global economy - and also how we're going to seize

:06:42.:06:44.

the longer-term opportunities and reset our economic plans

:06:45.:06:46.

And I've been able to, I hope, reassure them on both.

Church services are being held in Munich for the victims

of Friday's shooting, when an 18-year-old killed

Police have described the gunman as a loner obsessed

The government has promised to review the country's gun controls.

:07:10.:07:14.
