A BBC investigation reveals how children in their own homes | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
are being groomed by abusers online. | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
Children as young as nine are being drawn into sexual | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
conversations on the Periscope app owned by Twitter. | :00:18. | :00:19. | |
To see children as young as nine, so vulnerable, and being so clearly | :00:20. | :00:32. | |
We'll be looking at why such abuse isn't being stopped. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Panic as an earthquake hits the holiday island of Kos. | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
There's been a lot of talk in the media about holding Trump | :00:40. | :00:49. | |
accountable, I'm here to tell you it goes two ways we're going to hold | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
Donald Trump's press secretary, controversial and much | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Farmers are told they will get EU subsidies post Brexit - | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
And in the golf, Rory McIlroy moves up the leaderboard | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
And coming up on BBC News, Chris Froome closes in on an historic | :01:06. | :01:18. | |
fourth Tour de France title as he holds onto the leader 's yellow | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
jersey with two stages to go. Good evening and welcome | :01:20. | :01:38. | |
to the BBC News at Six. A BBC Investigation has found | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
evidence of children as young as nine being groomed on the live | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
streaming app Periscope. Launched just two years ago it | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
allows its millions of users to broadcast live from their phones | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
- and can reveal their location. But our team found children | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
streaming video live from their classrooms | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
and even their bedrooms - and clearly being groomed | :02:01. | :02:01. | |
for sexual abuse. Despite this, Twitter - | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
which owns the app - claims it has "zero tolerance" | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
for this kind of conduct. Our correspondent Angus | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
Crawford investigates. Not learning, but broadcasting, | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
live from the back of a lesson. But this isn't just | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
an innocent chat. We found pupils live | :02:18. | :02:28. | |
streaming across the country. And they've all been using this - | :02:29. | :02:38. | |
Periscope, an app owned by Twitter, which allows users to broadcast | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
live from anywhere. And our investigation found children | :02:43. | :02:44. | |
using it in their own bedrooms and being groomed in front | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
of our eyes. This child is still in her school | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
uniform, probably 12, Talking straight into the camera | :02:56. | :02:57. | |
and there is one, two, three, four, five, six, | :02:58. | :03:06. | |
seven requests already. One of them is asking | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
the size of her bra. Someone has just asked her | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
to unbutton her shirt. The age limit is meant to be | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
13, but we easily find So right now it's my first | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
time playing this app. What do you mean by, | :03:26. | :03:36. | |
"Up top, please?" We passed the details of all these | :03:37. | :03:48. | |
children to the police, and showed what we found | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
to the NSPCC's head Well, it's very | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
disturbing, isn't it? To see children as young as nine | :03:54. | :04:02. | |
when they're so vulnerable and being so clearly groomed | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
for sexual purposes What's really worrying about | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
Periscope is the way it uses maps. If I go live from here on a street | :04:08. | :04:22. | |
corner in west London, then anyone can zoom in and find out | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
exactly where I am. Twitter refused an interview | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
request, but said in a statement, "Periscope has a strong content | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
moderation policy and encourages viewers to report comments | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
they feel are abusive. We have zero tolerance for any form | :04:39. | :04:40. | |
of child sexual exploitation." But our investigation showed | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
children openly being groomed. The question for Periscope - | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
can young people really broadcast Parents will be horrified by your | :04:49. | :05:09. | |
investigation, Twitter claim they have zero tolerance of this kind of | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
content, how much meaning in that statement have? When you found so | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
much of it. The first problem you see here is a lack of | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
accountability. We have asked Twitter several times to come on the | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
programme and explain the situation, explain why that can happen. They | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
refuse to put someone up for interview. It leads three really | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
central issues we all need to be aware of. Age verification permit | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
clear if you can count and have access to a phone you can get a | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
periscope account whatever your age. Then there is moderation, we've | :05:41. | :05:42. | |
shown their live content moderation system simply isn't working as it | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
should. Finally, a job for all of us, education. As parents, knowing | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
social media now as we do, we have to educate our children that they | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
think they are streaming live from the privy seal their own bedroom, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
but they're actually broadcasting to a world full of people they simply | :05:57. | :05:58. | |
don't know. Angus, thanks very much. British holidaymakers have been | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
describing scenes of panic as a powerful earthquake struck | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
the Greek island of Kos. Two people have been killed | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
and at least 100 people The quake, with a | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
magnitude of 6 point 7, also caused floods in the streets | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
of the Turkish resort of Bodrum. Our correspondent Mark Lowen reports | :06:13. | :06:14. | |
from the Aegean coast. 1:30am in the Turkish | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
resort of Bodrum. A night out turns to panic | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
as the ground shakes. Footage from nearby shops showed | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
the impact as the earthquake The epicentre, the Aegean Sea | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
between Bodrum and the As streets in Bodrum | :06:27. | :06:36. | |
were flooded, residents ran, fearing for their lives, | :06:37. | :06:40. | |
and for the after-shocks. A Turkish and a Swedish tourist | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
were killed as the roof of a Bar collapsed and scores were injured, | :06:43. | :07:01. | |
some jumping from 200,000 holiday-makers were said | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
to be on the island, We were literally | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
ripped from our sleep. The bed shook uncontrollably, | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
the room shook from side to side. At first light, the damage | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
in Kos was clear. Parts of the cathedral | :07:13. | :07:22. | |
were turned to rubble. It was rebuilt 80 years ago | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
after the one that stood Nature is striking again, | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
crushing what lay in its path. We heard glasses coming | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
off our shelves. We heard all the bathroom glass | :07:34. | :07:45. | |
smash from the living room, so we got up and you were swaying | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
from side to side, literally. In Bodrum, fishing boats | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
were upturned by the tremor. 200 Turkish nationals | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
were evacuated from Kos, including some of the injured, | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
taken by ferry to Bodrum The earthquake was shallow, | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
but was lessened by the sea, Greece and Turkey are | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
seismically active - both are on significant fault lines, | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
and have suffered huge With the ferry port in Kos damaged, | :08:12. | :08:13. | |
the airport was under pressure. Some taking refuge from the heat | :08:14. | :08:25. | |
as flights were delayed. A holiday idyll turned to terror | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
as dozens recovered in hospital and Greece takes stock | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
of a traumatic night. Mark Lowen, BBC News, | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
on the Greek coast. A man has admitted murdering his | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
brother and attempting to murder his brother's girlfriend | :08:42. | :08:43. | |
by setting fire to their family home Glasgow High Court heard that | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Blair Logan, who's 27, had a "hostile relationship" | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
with his younger brother Cameron. Suffolk Police say an extensive | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
search of a landfill site has failed to find the remains | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
of a missing RAF airman. Corrie McKeague disappeared last | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
September after a night out CCTV cameras showed him | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
going into a bin loading bay. After 20 weeks and having sifted | :09:05. | :09:18. | |
through thousands of tonnes of rubbish at this landfill site in | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
Cambridge, the police have turned up nothing. It's tough, it's dirty, | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
it's expensive, but now, says the officer in charge, it has to stop. | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
We searched over six and a half thousand tonnes of waste, excavating | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
a huge area. Without anything further to tell us where he might be | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
on such a vast site, the search cannot continue. 22-year-old Corey | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
Micki disappeared during a night out in Bury St Edmunds. He told friends | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
he would walk home but never made it to the RAF base nearby. Months of | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
searching led nowhere though police knew his phone seem to track the | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
path of a bin lorry and that took them to the landfill site. His | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
disappearance prompted a huge social media campaign. His family crowd | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
thundered their own investigation. Six weeks ago his girlfriend April, | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
who was pregnant at the time he went missing, revealed she'd had his | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
daughter. For his mum, Nicola, herself a police officer in | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
Scotland, stopping the search is hard to accept. I do believe they | :10:19. | :10:23. | |
should search the area and be able to come back and say that either he | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
is in their or he's not. How can they just leave him in there? If... | :10:30. | :10:38. | |
How can they just leave him in there? His family said they would be | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
happy to use the fund to pay for more searching and say they are | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
urging the police not to close this investigation because a breakthrough | :10:47. | :10:47. | |
could be just inches away. Donald Trump's press secretary | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Sean Spicer has resigned. It follows the US president's | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
appointment of a former Wall Street banker as his | :10:55. | :10:56. | |
new head of communications. Mr Spicer has been much lampooned | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
in the past as he found himself trying to defend the president | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
against a sceptical press. One of Hollywood's biggest stars | :11:03. | :11:05. | |
appeared regularly on US Our chief correspondent | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
Gavin Hewitt has more. A dramatic day at the White House. | :11:08. | :11:20. | |
Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, and one of the faces of | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
the Trump administration, has resigned. Spicer has been involved | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
in a number of high profile controversies. Early on he found | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
himself having to defend the crowd size at Donald Trump's inauguration, | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
compared to that of Barack Obama. This was the largest audience to | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
ever witnessed an inauguration period, both in person and around | :11:40. | :11:47. | |
the globe. The pictures clearly suggested otherwise. Then there were | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Sean Spicer's about comments Hitler and the use of chemical weapons that | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
drew international criticism. We didn't use chemical weapons in World | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
War II, you know, you had a... You know, someone as despicable as | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
Hitler, who didn't even think to the, to the using chemical weapons. | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Sean Spicer found himself under close scrutiny from Donald Trump, | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
who prices good on camera performances. In particular | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
President Trump began looking for a strong defender as his problems | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
mounted, in particular with the investigation into whether there was | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year's | :12:25. | :12:32. | |
election. So today the president appointed Anthony Scaramucci. A Wall | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
Street financier, as his communications director. Shortly | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
after Sean Spicer abruptly resigned, suggesting some turmoil inside the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
White House. In recent times there were indications Sean Spicer was | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
being sidelined. He was giving fewer and fewer on camera briefings. But | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
his allies say there was a deeper problem. He was out there defending | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
White House policy only for the President himself to issue a treat | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
later that seemed to change the plans. Today's moves indicate that | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
Donald Trump, under pressure, sees the need to have an able | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
communicator who will both defend and fight for his presidency. Gavin | :13:13. | :13:15. | |

A BBC investigation reveals how children in their own homes are | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
being abused online. Also coming up, I'm here at Royal Birkdale where | :13:34. | :13:38. | |

Coming up in the sports a BBC news: Coming up in Sportsday on BBC News: | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
After Hannah Cockcroft's World Para Athletics triumph in London last | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
night, can Great Britain's Kadeena Cox and her teammates guarantee | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
more success in London? An ongoing cholera epidemic | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
which is sweeping war-ravaged Yemen is believed to be the "largest ever | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
recorded" in a single year. In just three months | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
since the outbreak started, there have been more | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
than 360,000 suspected cases. Yemen has become a breeding ground | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
for the disease after two years of a devastating civil war that has | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
split the country between a Saudi-led government coalition | :14:16. | :14:18. | |
and Iran-backed Houthi rebels. Few communities have been left | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
untouched by the disease, but the worst hit areas | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
are controlled by Houthi rebels and suffer the most | :14:26. | :14:27. | |
from a blockade of food and aid. Nawal Al-Maghafi has been | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
to the area in and around Hajah People here question how | :14:33. | :14:34. | |
much more they can take. War and poverty have combined | :14:35. | :14:45. | |
to mean cholera swept through this Unless treated quickly, | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
this waterborne disease can kill. Most have walked hours to get | :14:49. | :14:56. | |
treatment, but may be Aid agencies are doing | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
what they can, but the magnitude of this outbreak is outstripping | :14:59. | :15:25. | |
their ability to respond. One person dies in Yemen | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
every hour from cholera. This is the world's largest | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
humanitarian crisis, And civil servants like the doctors | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
and nurses here haven't received There's one thing that people | :15:38. | :15:46. | |
here keep telling me, and it's that they feel completely | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
forgotten by the world. People face the biggest | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
threat in rural areas. In this one village alone, | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
20 people have died Hours from the nearest town, | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
it was impossible for people Together with his sister | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
Hind, they can't afford The truth is that for many | :16:10. | :16:17. | |
in this country there Here on the edge of the village | :16:18. | :16:33. | |
is the only source of water. The people know it is infected, | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
but with no other options, The Environment Secretary Michael | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
Gove has promised to deliver a green Brexit, as he told | :16:42. | :16:52. | |
environmental and countryside groups that leaving the European Union | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
offers "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity" to reform Britain's | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
farming and fisheries policies. Mr Gove also said future farming | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
subsidies must be earned Our science editor | :17:07. | :17:08. | |
David Shukman reports. In a cloud of dust, the harvest | :17:09. | :17:13. | |
begins this evening in A key moment in | :17:14. | :17:16. | |
the farming calendar. Along with another important | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
event, the arrival of the The payments are based | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
on how much land farmers And the Environment Secretary wants | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Brexit to change that. Leaving the EU gives us | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
a once in a lifetime opportunity to reform how we manage | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
agriculture and fisheries. And, therefore, how | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
we care for our land, And we can recast | :17:43. | :17:43. | |
our ambition for our country's environment | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
and for the planet. In short, leaving the European Union | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
should mean a green At the moment, EU farming subsidies | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
are worth some ?3 billion It amounts to about 50% | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
of the total farmers incomes. Because 70% of UK land | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
is farmed, any change The idea proposed by Michael Gove is | :18:06. | :18:06. | |
to link future payments to farmers to better care of the soil, | :18:07. | :18:16. | |
the water and the wildlife. worried the bureaucracy around this | :18:17. | :18:31. | |
just be too complicated. How we're actually going | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
to have the time to get out and do our core activity | :18:36. | :18:37. | |
of farming and growing crops, you know, we're told | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
we are going to receive What Michael Gove is | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
suggesting is pretty Shifting the emphasis | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
of agricultural policy from food production | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
to encouraging wildlife. None of this is going | :18:50. | :18:51. | |
to happen quickly. The government has promised | :18:52. | :18:52. | |
that the current system of farm payments will | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
continue until 2022. But some environmental changes may | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
happen more quickly. Mr Gove promised a new law | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
banning microbeads. Tiny plastic particles used | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
in facial scrubs and That can end up | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
polluting the oceans. He wants the new move | :19:08. | :19:17. | |
to save stocks of fish. Mr Gove says the EU | :19:18. | :19:19. | |
allows overfishing, and he believes Britain acting alone | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
could be more sustainable. And he described climate | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
change as a threat. And criticised Donald Trump | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
for pulling out of the Paris Ultimately, any minister | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
is judged by their actions. And although Mr Gove's | :19:29. | :19:35. | |
pledges seem much greener than many expected, | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
what counts is the hard detail on everything | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
from what's grown in the field to how | :19:40. | :19:41. | |
farmers are after Brexit. David Shukman, BBC | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
News, Hertfordshire. Michael Gove also said the whole | :19:45. | :19:55. | |
cabinet is in agreement that there should be a period of adjustment | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
after Brexit so that businesses have access to the migrant workers they | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
need, but our Deputy political editor is in Westminster for us this | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
evening. Does make the Government's position clearer? There has been a | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
lot of squabbling in the Cabinet lately but there has been more | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
agreement over the shape of Brexit. For now, Brexit is still a work in | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
progress. There is broad agreement now on the importance of keeping | :20:20. | :20:20. | |
trade moving freely as now between Britain and | :20:21. | :20:40. | |
Europe during a transitional period of perhaps two years. The Chancellor | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
and a lot of civil servants would like that period to be a lot longer. | :20:44. | :20:46. | |
Business will need that time to adjust to a new custom system and | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
there is a worry that a sudden lurch into a new system could hit | :20:50. | :20:51. | |
investment. Ultimately, it will be about the negotiations in Brussels. | :20:52. | :20:53. | |
As far as freedom of movement of people is concerned, there has been | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
no real discussion. Not in Cabinet, not in Cabinet committee. That still | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
has to be worked out but it is a political quagmire which raises | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
questions of the rights of EU citizens and also British citizens. | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
It could upset Tory MPs who do not want freedom of movement to go on | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
for one minute longer. This is a political quagmire on the road to | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
Brexit which will have to be resolved. As David Davis said the | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
other day, the clock is ticking. He is right about that. So much still | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
to do and now so little time. Thank you. | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Tolls on the Severn bridges between Wales and England will be | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
scrapped by the end of next year, the UK government has announced. | :21:30. | :21:32. | |
The cost of the crossing ranges from ?6.70 to ?20 per vehicle. | :21:33. | :21:34. | |
According to one study, the decision could boost the Welsh | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Here's our Wales correspondent Sian Lloyd. | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
The gateways to South Wales, carrying 25 million vehicles across | :21:42. | :21:43. | |
But the tolls are described as a tax on | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
When the crossings return to public ownership next | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
This haulage company based in Newport says it will make a | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
difference, but it also wants to see other improvements being made. | :22:01. | :22:08. | |
More specifically, it would be a cost saving to us. | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
We use the bridge probably ten, 12, 15 times a day. | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
But we have to make sure that the infrastructure to support the | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
increase in traffic that we're likely to see it in place to support | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
Just six months ago, the Secretary of State for Wales had | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
planned to simply reduce the tolls, retaining | :22:25. | :22:26. | |
a fee to fund the cost of | :22:27. | :22:27. | |
Ultimately, this is the UK taxpayer that's | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
looking after an important part of infrastructure. | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
It's a strategic piece of infrastructure that binds | :22:37. | :22:38. | |
The clients in Bristol have sold a small | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
They are buying this property which is | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
It's making moving to live in Wales a more attractive | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
But at this estate agent's, just a few miles away, | :22:54. | :23:13. | |
they recognise it could have an impcat on schools | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
What we're finding is a lot of the people who are now | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
looking over here have been searching in Bristol where the house | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
prices are a lot more expensive, so the news about the Severn Bridge | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
has suddenly brought Chepstow into their | :23:30. | :23:30. | |
I feel that, yes, it's great to have this increase in | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
housing activity, but we do need support in terms of infrastructure | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Congestion and slow-moving traffic costs business dear. | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
Infrastructure in South Wales is currently under | :23:41. | :23:41. | |
The UK Government has accused ministers in Cardiff of | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
dragging their feet over plans for a new motorway. | :23:46. | :23:47. | |
But it was only yesterday the UK Transport Secretary | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
announced that rail electrification plans from Cardiff | :23:50. | :23:51. | |
to Swansea have been shelved. | :23:52. | :23:52. | |
Removing these barriers is designed to keep the Welsh economy | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
But there's concern that without further | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
infrastructure changes there could be gridlock to come. | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
Sian Lloyd, BBC News, on the Severn Crossing. | :24:00. | :24:01. | |
It's day two of the Open golf and Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
has found some form at last, moving up the leader board | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Our sports correspondent Andy Swiss is at Royal Birkdale for us. | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
Fiona. Welcome to Royal Birkdale, where the golfers have been battling | :24:11. | :24:24. | |
the elements. We have had wind and rain and some grim conditions out | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
there. As you say, it has been a good day for Rory McIlroy. After a | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
terrible start yesterday, he is back in contention. | :24:35. | :24:36. | |
It was 'bring a brolly day' at Birkdale, as fans arrived | :24:37. | :24:38. | |
Grey skies and blustery winds - tough for watching, | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
The man at the top didn't seem to mind, | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
The man at the top didn't seem to mind, as America's Matt Kuchar | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
Yesterday, Rory McIlroy had one of the worst | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
A trio of early birdies as he continued on to | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
A man who seemed down and out, back in with a fighting chance. | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
I continued where I left off last night and made some birdies. | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
I did exactly what I wanted to do, get in and finish the tournament | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
under par for the first two days, and we'll watch to see | :25:17. | :25:19. | |
Well, as the winds strengthened, they struggled. | :25:20. | :25:27. | |
Charl Schwartzel's ball actually being blown away. | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
One of the home favourites firing up the fans. | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
And he wasn't the only Englishman on the leaderboard. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
Richard Bland, playing his first Open for 19 years. | :25:36. | :25:45. | |
They say the best things come to those who wait. | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
As things turned soggy, though, Jordan Spieth's golf at least | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
But the day's most magical moment belonged to Chris Wood. | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
Just when he needed it, this on the very last hole. | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
Surely the definition of a grandstand finish. | :26:00. | :26:11. | |
And the latest is that Jordan Spieth leads the way. As for Rory McIlroy, | :26:12. | :26:22. | |
he is now five off the pace, but his hopes are still very much alive. | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
Thank you very much. Royal visits can be tiring for even experienced | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
members of the family, but for Princess Charlotte it all proved a | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
bit too much. As they prepare to leave Hamburg this afternoon, there | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
were a few tears on the tarmac and some finger wagging, but her mother | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
offered some comforting words to bring the tantrum to a happy end. | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
Best behaviour, please. The weather is not behaving itself, though. This | :26:52. | :27:06. | |
is a small tree that came down on a road there and it has really been | :27:07. | :27:09. | |
very windy today and also with some heavy rain. This picture came in | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
from Devon, where it has been very blustery. This is the reason for it. | :27:15. | :27:22. | |
This low pressure. And it will remain unsettled through the | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
weekend. It will be very unsettled with frequent showers and some of us | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
will miss them but some will get a downpour. Let's have a look at the | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
picture for now. Here is the rainfall. The wind is not so strong | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
inland. It is around the coastal areas where we have had the blustery | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
wind. There will be some clear spells overnight, so not that bad. | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
13-14dC. No pressure will be with us through the weekend. This is a | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
snapshot of Saturday. The main area of brain that we had today may have | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
gone by then, but this area of low pressure will be producing further | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
showers during the day. This is a snapshot of the morning. It is clear | :28:09. | :28:14. | |
in places. This is what is left over the weather front, so the morning is | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
looking mixed. 15-16dC. Into the afternoon, we can see lots of | :28:22. | :28:26. | |
showers developing across parts of Wales and central England. So many | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
of us tomorrow will get a downpour or two. In the North of Scotland, | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
the weather is not looking bad. Northern Ireland also looking | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
decent. Here is the for Sunday. Some areas of rain. Take a number like if | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
you are heading out just in case you need to run for cover. Goodbye. | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
