:00:00. > :00:00.Britain's summer of rail strikes - as one walkout's suspended,

:00:07. > :00:11.another's announced that'll hit holidaymakers.

:00:12. > :00:13.Southern Railway's five-day walkout this week has been cut short

:00:14. > :00:21.for more talks in the bitter row over the role of conductors.

:00:22. > :00:27.Hopefully they will sort it out. It's difficult to work out what is

:00:28. > :00:28.going on. The real victims other passengers.

:00:29. > :00:30.But Eurostar workers announce a 7-day walkout,

:00:31. > :00:32.over August weekends, in a dispute over work-life balance.

:00:33. > :00:35.Staff at Virgin East Coast have also voted to strike -

:00:36. > :00:37.the transport secretary's accused rail unions of finding

:00:38. > :00:45.An Olympic medal for Great Britain's Chris Froome -

:00:46. > :00:47.but not the gold he was chasing as he comes third

:00:48. > :00:58.I can't be disappointed with that. Of course, I would have loved to

:00:59. > :00:59.have been in with a chance for a gold medal, but I gave it everything

:01:00. > :01:00.I had. Olympic history as America's Michael

:01:39. > :01:55.rugby sevens team reaches the quarterfinals.

:01:56. > :01:59.Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:02:00. > :02:02.A strike on Southern Rail network that has already disrupted hundreds

:02:03. > :02:04.of thousands of commuters this week has been suspended

:02:05. > :02:09.The walk out on Monday, over plans to remove conductors

:02:10. > :02:11.from trains between London and Southern England,

:02:12. > :02:16.But as that strike was suspended, another was announced.

:02:17. > :02:19.Eurostar staff have voted to walk out for seven days this month

:02:20. > :02:25.Our business correspondent Emma Simpson is at London's Victoria

:02:26. > :02:42.Sophie, we have seen 946 services cancelled every day this week. Many

:02:43. > :02:47.of them, this main station, here. But workers have now been instructed

:02:48. > :02:50.by their union to go back on duty at 10pm tonight. For passengers,

:02:51. > :02:52.talking is definitely better than striking.

:02:53. > :02:59.The rush hour out of London is never much fun.

:03:00. > :03:01.It's been havoc this week for Southern Rail commuters.

:03:02. > :03:03.Tonight, as they head home, relief that the strike

:03:04. > :03:07.I've been off work today but I'm back at work on Friday,

:03:08. > :03:12.Hopefully they'll sort it out, it's been going on for too long.

:03:13. > :03:13.They're always delayed, always cancelled.

:03:14. > :03:16.I don't know, I've tried my best to negotiate with my boss

:03:17. > :03:24.the time I come and leave, which is why I'm leaving early now.

:03:25. > :03:29.It's very difficult to discern what's going on.

:03:30. > :03:31.I think the real victims are passengers.

:03:32. > :03:36.This dispute is about who shuts the doors on these trains.

:03:37. > :03:44.But Southern wants more drivers to take over the role.

:03:45. > :03:46.It's led to months of this, sheer misery for passengers

:03:47. > :03:48.with cancelled services, delays and overcrowded trains.

:03:49. > :03:57.A reduced timetable has been in place.

:03:58. > :03:59.Then, on Monday, a five-day strike, but this now a pause.

:04:00. > :04:02.We have suspended strike action for Thursday and Friday this week

:04:03. > :04:05.to allow further talks at ACAS without preconditions.

:04:06. > :04:08.Does this mean that the months of misery for Southern passengers

:04:09. > :04:12.I'm not going to make any comment on where we are in terms

:04:13. > :04:16.What we need to do now is just concentrate on the ACAS discussions

:04:17. > :04:22.Southern also hopes the talks will be productive.

:04:23. > :04:25.But elsewhere on our railways, more strikes are looming.

:04:26. > :04:28.Here at King's Cross, the Virgin East Coast Trains

:04:29. > :04:32.leave for places like Doncaster and Edinburgh.

:04:33. > :04:39.Yesterday its workers voted for walk-outs.

:04:40. > :04:42.And, today, people heading here for the continent on Eurostar

:04:43. > :04:45.found out that seven days of strike action are on the cards.

:04:46. > :04:58.Our new Transport Secretary says the action isn't necessary.

:04:59. > :05:00.I'm very disappointed that the unions keep on calling

:05:01. > :05:02.strike action over of what has always appeared to be

:05:03. > :05:05.Not to do with passengers, not to do with jobs,

:05:06. > :05:10.This feels like an excuse to be militant.

:05:11. > :05:13.But the union, out protesting today, says it is merely

:05:14. > :05:18.This summer, passengers are seeing the biggest series of disputes

:05:19. > :05:25.this industry has gone through in decades.

:05:26. > :05:31.We should also point out that ScotRail and the RMT are already in

:05:32. > :05:38.talks to try to prevent further strike action there. Is there a

:05:39. > :05:42.chance of a breakthrough in this one? The senses that a long way is

:05:43. > :05:45.to go. But the pressure is on. As for passengers, back to the

:05:46. > :05:49.emergency timetable. Of course, a lot of trains will be in the wrong

:05:50. > :05:52.place, at least for part of the day. The advice is to check first.

:05:53. > :05:54.To the Olympics now and there were high hopes

:05:55. > :05:57.for Great Britain's Chris Froome in the men's individual time

:05:58. > :06:01.He was hoping to emulate Sir Bradley Wiggins in 2012

:06:02. > :06:04.by winning the Tour and Olympic gold in the same year.

:06:05. > :06:08.But he did bag Team GB's first cycling medal of the games

:06:09. > :06:11.Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks was watching

:06:12. > :06:24.It was a perfect day for serving. But it was less than ideal for

:06:25. > :06:28.cycling. Wind and rain, lashing off the coast, making conditions rather

:06:29. > :06:34.tricky. Britain's riders would at least feel at home. After crashing

:06:35. > :06:37.on the final descent in the road race, Geraint Thomas was hoping to

:06:38. > :06:42.avoid further mishap. Others were proving it was slippy out there.

:06:43. > :06:45.Didn't even get round the first corner! But Team GB was hoping their

:06:46. > :06:56.best was saved till last. Well, Chris Froome won time trial

:06:57. > :07:00.bronze in London. He is hoping to emulate Bradley Wiggins by winning

:07:01. > :07:05.the Tour de France and Olympic gold in the same summer. Organisers

:07:06. > :07:09.called the course is a unique test. It was all about pacing themselves.

:07:10. > :07:16.Chris Froome was leaving himself a lot to do. No, he has lost some

:07:17. > :07:22.more. Beijing gold medallist Fabian Cancellara was motoring. Chris

:07:23. > :07:26.Froome still was not. Thomas finished and was briefly in a medal

:07:27. > :07:29.position. Chris Froome was down in fourth. The three times Tour de

:07:30. > :07:33.France winner would need to give everything to be in with a chance of

:07:34. > :07:37.anything. Fabian Cancellara finished with a stunning time after a

:07:38. > :07:44.masterful ride. Nobody would touch him for gold. But what colour for

:07:45. > :07:48.Chris Froome? Bronze, for Chris Froome! I gave it everything I had,

:07:49. > :07:52.I tried to hold back a little bit for the last lap, knowing how hard

:07:53. > :07:57.the course was. But I just didn't have any more. Britain's Emma Pooley

:07:58. > :08:05.was out of retirement for the race, but could only finish 14th. Kristin

:08:06. > :08:12.Armstrong, who celebrates her 43rd birthday tomorrow, won her third

:08:13. > :08:18.time trial in a row. For Chris Froome, another medal for the

:08:19. > :08:21.election. -- collection, just not the colour he was after.

:08:22. > :08:29.Team GB have continued their medal haul with medals in the medley and

:08:30. > :08:33.the relay. But it was Michael Phelps who stole the show as he made

:08:34. > :08:39.Olympic history, winning his 21st gold medal.

:08:40. > :08:47.It was a night when Britain's Golden hopes came with a silver lining.

:08:48. > :08:52.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor has spent her career battling opponents and

:08:53. > :08:57.illness. The 20-year-old lives with a chronic bowel condition. But

:08:58. > :09:01.against the best in the world, she produced the performance of her

:09:02. > :09:08.life, as she chased the favourite every inch of the way. A new British

:09:09. > :09:14.record and a silver medal. Silver to Great Britain, silver to

:09:15. > :09:20.Siobhan-Marie O'Connor. It feels pretty unreal. I'm trying not to

:09:21. > :09:26.cry. Best feeling in the world. When I looked up and saw the time and the

:09:27. > :09:30.position, I was, like, what? It didn't seem real. But walking

:09:31. > :09:35.around, seeing my family, I was getting choked up. It means

:09:36. > :09:40.everything. And there was more British success in the pool as the

:09:41. > :09:43.men's freestyle relay team came through for silver. But they, like

:09:44. > :09:49.everyone else, could not get near this man. Michael Phelps, his 21st

:09:50. > :09:53.Olympic gold, coming barely an hour after his 20th, as he thrillingly

:09:54. > :10:01.clung on in the 200 metres butterfly. Phelps is going to take

:10:02. > :10:04.it! Is won! His reaction said it all. Back from retirement and

:10:05. > :10:10.personal problems to celebrate with his new baby. Perhaps the most

:10:11. > :10:13.glorious night yet for this sporting phenomenon. In terms of Olympic

:10:14. > :10:17.success, Michael Phelps is in a world of his own. His total of 21

:10:18. > :10:22.gold medals is more than double anyone else's. His closest rivals,

:10:23. > :10:26.including at least Carl Lewis, have just nine. It is more than three

:10:27. > :10:31.times more than Britain's top Olympian, Sir Chris Hoy, with six.

:10:32. > :10:36.And Phelps could yet add to that tally. But sporting genius comes in

:10:37. > :10:48.all sizes. Four foot nine, Simone Viles, a dazzling display to help

:10:49. > :10:52.team USA. She was too young to compete in London. She tweeted,

:10:53. > :10:57.dreams come true. For the organisers, more problems. The bad

:10:58. > :11:02.weather meant that the rowing was cancelled and they are investigating

:11:03. > :11:05.an attack on a media buzz. Stones, according to officials, bullets,

:11:06. > :11:11.according to some on-board. Either way, another security headache. For

:11:12. > :11:14.sporting drama, the rugby sevens. Britain's men through to the

:11:15. > :11:16.knockout stage after beating one of the favourites, New Zealand. They

:11:17. > :11:22.will be hoping there is more celebrations to come.

:11:23. > :11:25.This is how the medal table looks right now.

:11:26. > :11:28.Four of those medals have come from GB's swimmers.

:11:29. > :11:31.It's worth pointing out though that so far Team GB have won more medals

:11:32. > :11:35.in Rio than they had at this stage in London 2012.

:11:36. > :11:40.You can of course continue to follow all the action

:11:41. > :11:43.from Rio 2016 on the BBC with live coverage for the rest of the evening

:11:44. > :11:49.and into the early hours across TV, radio and online.

:11:50. > :11:52.A man who worked in a children's home in South London before becoming

:11:53. > :11:55.a Catholic priest has been jailed for 12 years after finally admitting

:11:56. > :12:00.that he sexually abused 12 children dating back to the 1970s.

:12:01. > :12:03.67-year-old Philip Temple first went on trial in the 1990s

:12:04. > :12:10.After avoiding justice for decades, he was arrested again last

:12:11. > :12:20.Our social affairs correspondent Alison Holt has more details.

:12:21. > :12:24.The now closed Shirley Oaks children's home in south London was

:12:25. > :12:29.one of the places where Philip Temple was able to sexually abuse

:12:30. > :12:35.vulnerable boys and girls entrusted to his care in the 70s. The

:12:36. > :12:39.67-year-old, described in court as a skilful manipulator, later became a

:12:40. > :12:45.priest. That did not stop the abuse. Today, he was jailed for 12 years,

:12:46. > :12:52.after admitting offences against 12 children, one believed to have been

:12:53. > :12:56.just six. This man, who cannot be identified, once a young

:12:57. > :13:03.parishioner, told of his abuse at two trials. Philip Temple lied and

:13:04. > :13:07.was acquitted. The effect is severe and lasts for ever. I think there

:13:08. > :13:16.are ways to manage it and ways you can move forward. But it is still

:13:17. > :13:20.always there. In the 70s, working in children's homes, Philip Temple was

:13:21. > :13:23.skilled at appearing a father figure to get close to his victims. He

:13:24. > :13:29.eventually left Shirley Oaks after complaints. In 1981, she became a

:13:30. > :13:35.Roman Catholic monk. Then he was ordained as a priest at the North

:13:36. > :13:41.London church, where the order was based. In the 90s, defaced two

:13:42. > :13:45.trials for abuse, which he has now admitted lying, allowing him to walk

:13:46. > :13:48.free. The Roman Catholic Church in England says it raised concerns

:13:49. > :13:51.about Philip Temple, but there was a limit to what it could do in the

:13:52. > :13:58.dioceses of Westminster. That is because, as a monk, he was

:13:59. > :14:02.answerable to the head of his order in Italy. Today, the Catholic Church

:14:03. > :14:06.says it has robust safeguarding policies in place. After hearing the

:14:07. > :14:10.sentencing at Woolwich Crown Court, campaigners representing children

:14:11. > :14:15.abused in care say, over the years, there were clear opportunities to

:14:16. > :14:20.stop him. I am shocked at the many missed opportunities. When we are

:14:21. > :14:26.talking about historical sex abuse, in this case we are really talking

:14:27. > :14:29.about historical failings. If the children had been listened to the

:14:30. > :14:33.first time, other children would not have been abused. The judge

:14:34. > :14:36.apologised to the victims that were not listened to, saying wider

:14:37. > :14:41.inquiries would find out what more could have been done.

:14:42. > :14:48.Our top story this evening, Britain's summer of rail strikes,

:14:49. > :14:53.another announced on Eurostar that will hit holiday-makers. Coming up,

:15:27. > :15:31.candidate Hillary Clinton from taking away

:16:04. > :16:07.people, maybe there is. Some interpreted this

:16:08. > :16:12.as tantamount to a death threat. An incitement

:17:05. > :17:07.for people to really take up arms and do something with their guns

:17:08. > :17:09.about what they think. There were a lot of

:17:10. > :17:11.comments made that I definitely think are overtly

:17:12. > :17:13.inappropriate and horrible, evil. Many people are baffled as to what

:17:14. > :17:16.Donald Trump's campaign strategy Few believe that these controversial

:17:17. > :17:20.remarks are planned in advance. Certainly, they get him attention

:21:24. > :21:31.the blazes but they have asked for help from other EU countries.

:21:32. > :21:33.One of Britain's richest men, the Duke of Westminster has died

:21:34. > :21:36.suddenly at the age of 64 after being taken ill

:21:37. > :21:39.Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor was a close friend of Prince Charles

:21:40. > :21:42.who said he was "deeply saddened" by his death.

:21:43. > :21:54.Families such as mine are caretakers. It's as simple as that.

:21:55. > :21:59.The only advantage of being a duke, it does help in a crowded restaurant

:22:00. > :22:05.when you're trying to get a table. That's the only advantage I can see.

:22:06. > :22:09.His front drive in Cheshire was a mile and a quarter long and he owned

:22:10. > :22:15.some of the most expensive bits of London. But he was no playboy but a

:22:16. > :22:23.serious fellow. Also were his ancestors. They were ruffians but no

:22:24. > :22:27.more than any other once. Isn't that the origin of aristocratic families,

:22:28. > :22:34.better ruffians than the rest? Very much so. He worked hard running the

:22:35. > :22:38.family business, ruthlessly, some said. He loved shooting and bought a

:22:39. > :22:44.Lancashire estate for the grouse moors. It was where he died. Another

:22:45. > :22:51.passion, the Territorial Army, he rose to be its commander. A fortune

:22:52. > :22:58.made by a rich heiress, who married a Grosvenor bringing two farms just

:22:59. > :23:02.west of London. One was modern day Mayfair and the other became

:23:03. > :23:06.Belgravia. The Duke fought hard against legislation that threatened

:23:07. > :23:11.his inheritance. The Grosvenor is our good friends with the Windsors.

:23:12. > :23:20.The Queen was a guest when the Duke's daughter married. His son is

:23:21. > :23:24.the new godfather to William and Kate's son George. As a property

:23:25. > :23:32.developer and aristocrat, he was shy, never seeming entirely

:23:33. > :23:35.comfortable with the extraordinary hand that fate dealt to him.

:23:36. > :23:38.Now it's that time of year again when everyone who's anyone

:23:39. > :23:40.in the world of comedy heads to Edinburgh for the

:23:41. > :23:43.And this year - given the extraordinary

:23:44. > :23:46.events in the news - comedians have had no problems

:23:47. > :23:49.Our Arts Editor Will Gompertz is there for us now.

:23:50. > :23:57.I was really interested to come up to the Edinburgh fringe Festival

:23:58. > :24:04.just to see how the world's top comics would treat those momentous

:24:05. > :24:09.events. Would they ignore them and stick to their usual whimsical tales

:24:10. > :24:14.of everyday life or would they meet them head-on? It's been very much a

:24:15. > :24:18.case of the latter, as you will see in this report which contains some

:24:19. > :24:22.language that some viewers might find unpleasant.

:24:23. > :24:24.I'm not going to lie, originally, this show was about

:24:25. > :24:27.how we have these turbulent times in politics but, in the end,

:24:28. > :24:30.sense prevails and - thank God - we stayed in the EU.

:24:31. > :24:31.Right now life is good for political

:24:32. > :24:38.It's a brand-new show written since the 23rd of June.

:24:39. > :24:42.There's a seemingly endless supply of new material on which to riff

:24:43. > :24:46.and an audience eager for some insight into a worrying world.

:24:47. > :24:49.I honestly think they'll be old people going to nursing homes

:24:50. > :24:53.a good 15 years too early as a result of that referendum.

:24:54. > :24:55.It feels to me like there's a distinctly political edge

:24:56. > :25:00.I know there's racism and all this because

:25:01. > :25:07.But I take comfort in knowing that racists are not that bright.

:25:08. > :25:11.It is different this year because so much has happened.

:25:12. > :25:13.So if I come on and talk about my moustache

:25:14. > :25:15.everybody is going to sit there and go,

:25:16. > :25:18."Well, fair enough but what do you think about this?"

:25:19. > :25:21."What do you think about what happened and how

:25:22. > :25:23."Because you're brown, you're a woman, you're Muslim."

:25:24. > :25:26."I mean, what are you going to say about this?"

:25:27. > :25:29.In London I was walking down the street and this man shouted

:25:30. > :25:35.out, he went "Oi! Park, go back to India!"

:25:36. > :25:38.Brexit is a hot topic, as is Trump and Clinton

:25:39. > :25:45.I did consider myself a foreigner, obviously, but never immigrant.

:25:46. > :25:49.The idea behind the show, the idea came to me when I was asked

:25:50. > :25:52.to front a TV programme called an immigrant's guide to Britain.

:25:53. > :25:54.A programme for immigrants by immigrants.

:25:55. > :25:58.I thought, hang on, I'm not an immigrant.

:25:59. > :26:00.I thought about it and, probably, it's the lack of

:26:01. > :26:09.Like, I feel, to qualify as an immigrant you have

:26:10. > :26:14.to have clung onto a banana boat, or hidden in the back of a lorry at

:26:15. > :26:31.I had this guy telling me recently, Naseem,

:26:32. > :26:37.Just because an muslin doesn't mean I support Isis, you idiot.

:26:38. > :26:44.Naseem Hussain's take on Islamophobia is

:26:45. > :26:48.at this year's Fringe of the public's appetite

:26:49. > :27:07.Time for a lock at the weather with John Hammond. Pretty good news for

:27:08. > :27:11.the weekend. Deckchair weather for some of ours but for some it is

:27:12. > :27:16.still absolutely pouring with rain and will continue for a couple of

:27:17. > :27:22.days. We could see a lot of water cascading down off the mountains so

:27:23. > :27:28.watch out for that. Rain spreading down across Scotland and the North,

:27:29. > :27:34.just drips and drabs reaching the south-east. The main event across

:27:35. > :27:40.the North. Wherever you are tonight it won't be as cool as last night. A

:27:41. > :27:47.damp and dismal start further north. East, much of the rain will ease

:27:48. > :27:53.away. It will keep ringing across the West of Scotland all afternoon.

:27:54. > :27:59.Elsewhere, pleasant temperatures. Good news for the first day of the

:28:00. > :28:04.Test match. Strong winds continue across northern areas into Friday.

:28:05. > :28:08.Most other places will be fine and dry with increasingly warm sunshine,

:28:09. > :28:17.especially across south-eastern areas. Into the mid-20s to end the

:28:18. > :28:23.week. This weather front is going to slump down across the country and

:28:24. > :28:28.high pressure will build, hence my optimism that we are going to have a

:28:29. > :28:36.good one. Most people will see something in the way of some sound.

:28:37. > :28:40.-- sunshine. It will be mostly dry and pleasantly warm and getting even

:28:41. > :28:42.warmer for the early part of next week.
