600 jobs are at risk after Eurotunnel was told it must give

:00:07.:00:10.

The Competition and Markets Authority says

:00:11.:00:15.

the tunnel operator has too big a share of cross channel business.

:00:16.:00:18.

Meanwhile, rival firms P Ferries and DFDS Seaways have both welcomed

:00:19.:00:23.

It's a cross`channel servicd nickname "Euro Funnel".

:00:24.:00:33.

Today's decision to force its closure is described

:00:34.:00:36.

It will reduce competition and consumer choice.

:00:37.:00:39.

Ultimately there will be 600 people out of work.

:00:40.:00:46.

MyFerryLink employs many people in Dover and around five hundred

:00:47.:00:51.

Absolutely, I can imagine the other operators

:00:52.:00:57.

I would advise our members to look at the bigger picture

:00:58.:01:04.

because there is no question in my mind that the presence of the French

:01:05.:01:08.

is very important the likelhhood of British workers on this rink

:01:09.:01:14.

It was back in November 2010 that Sea France went into liquid`tion.

:01:15.:01:18.

Eurotunnel board three of its ferries.

:01:19.:01:21.

They began operating on the route from Dover to Calais.

:01:22.:01:26.

Today they have been given six months to halt the MyFerryLhnk

:01:27.:01:32.

Eurotunnel has 30% of the Calais Dunkirk route.

:01:33.:01:43.

By taking over a ferry comp`ny, they are putting

:01:44.:01:46.

We think that is going to bd a bad deal for consumers.

:01:47.:01:52.

The local MP says he would like to see

:01:53.:01:54.

We want to see the maximum number of players across the Channdl,

:01:55.:01:58.

A new independent ferry company in Dover would ensure wider

:01:59.:02:04.

Eurotunnel said that when it brought the ferries, a French

:02:05.:02:12.

court stipulated that, it couldn't sell them until at least 2007.

:02:13.:02:19.

That was to ensure the ferries would not be sold off

:02:20.:02:23.

for quick profit and to try and tie them to the cross channel route

:02:24.:02:27.

Eurotunnel said it will raise that point as part of a legal ch`llenge.

:02:28.:02:31.

The fate of MyFerryLink may yet be decided in the courtroom.

:02:32.:02:40.

A young Sussex man fighting in Syria has said he has no intention

:02:41.:02:43.

of returning home, despite pleas from his family.

:02:44.:02:45.

New footage has emerged of 20`year`old Amer Deghayes,

:02:46.:02:47.

from Saltdean, saying, it is his duty to fight

:02:48.:02:50.

His younger brother, Abdull`h, was killed in

:02:51.:02:55.

His family have pleaded with him to come home.

:02:56.:03:01.

I came here to give victory for the people, to make surd they

:03:02.:03:06.

receive justice, and we still haven't reached the goal yet.

:03:07.:03:14.

Commuters facing three years of huge disruption while

:03:15.:03:17.

London Bridge station is rebuilt shouldn't have to pay more

:03:18.:03:21.

The work starts in December and the concern is that

:03:22.:03:25.

unless the underground and bus companies accept rail season tickets

:03:26.:03:30.

during that period, passengdrs will be left out of pocket.

:03:31.:03:34.

People who work roundabout London Bridge will have to go

:03:35.:03:36.

on to Cannon Street or Charhng Cross and Waterloo and travel back.

:03:37.:03:40.

Of course, in order to do that they will have to buy a tube ticket or

:03:41.:03:45.

That seems very unfair, when they can't get to

:03:46.:03:50.

It seems to add insult to injury to expect them to pay to travel back to

:03:51.:03:56.

where they wanted to be in the first place.

:03:57.:04:03.

The internationally renowned film director, Peter Rodger, who was born

:04:04.:04:05.

and brought up in Kent, has been speaking about the "nightmare"

:04:06.:04:08.

of discovering his son had lurdered six people, and injured 13 others.

:04:09.:04:11.

Rodger, who now lives in Los Angeles,

:04:12.:04:13.

is the father of Elliot Rodger, who went on a killing spree last

:04:14.:04:16.

As John Young reports, some parents of his victims say, the medha should

:04:17.:04:21.

be focussing on their feelings, not those of the killer's f`mily.

:04:22.:04:23.

It was a shooting spree that followed an online warning.

:04:24.:04:26.

A shooting spree that had the victim's parents pleading

:04:27.:04:33.

for more gun control, and the parents of the killer appearing

:04:34.:04:37.

I wake up and I think of those young men and women who died and who were

:04:38.:04:47.

Peter Rodger is best known for his role as a director on the Htnger

:04:48.:05:01.

Games, a film about a young group of people who have to kill to survive.

:05:02.:05:04.

He took his son to the opening night.

:05:05.:05:07.

He learned skill in the indtstry at Maidstone College of Art.

:05:08.:05:10.

Just weeks before the murders, Elliot Rodger had been interviewed

:05:11.:05:13.

by the police, after posting a video online that threatened violdnce

:05:14.:05:17.

There is no way that I thought that this boy could do this.

:05:18.:05:23.

This is the most unbelievable thing about it, that I don't get,

:05:24.:05:29.

One of the victim's parents has said that the media's attention should be

:05:30.:05:37.

on their needs, rather than those of the killer's family.

:05:38.:05:40.

Peter Rogers has been in totch with them, to send his condolencds.

:05:41.:05:43.

When you go to sleep normally, you have a nightmare and yot wake up

:05:44.:05:49.

Now I go to sleep, I might have a nice dream, `nd then

:05:50.:05:54.

I wake up and slowly the trtth of what happened dawns on me and that

:05:55.:06:01.

A mass murderer who used video before he used his gun.

:06:02.:06:13.

And success for Eastbourne tennis player, Johanna Konta,

:06:14.:06:16.

in mixed doubles first round action at Wimbledon this evening.

:06:17.:06:18.

The British number three, who's up to a career high 96
