Against south africa. And Coming Up In World Athletics Sportsday on bbc news. There are more british medal hopes on the fourth day of these championships including laura muir in the 1500 metres final. Good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. A new law for the digital age thats our top story tonight. Were all spending more time online and whether its for business or pleasure it Means Companies are collecting a vast amount of information about us, some of it quite personal. Now the government is proposing legislation that will give us a right to see what Companies Know about us and in some cases force them to erase it. As our Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports, the new law would bring the uk in line with the rest of the eu. Your data, a valuable resource flowing around the world giving companies and governments all kinds of intimate details about how you live your life. Now a new law is supposed to give us all more control. The law is an opportunity to keep up with the changing technology. Companies will have more accountability and consumers will have more control. The new law includes a right to be forgotten, making it easier to find out what Data Companies hold on you and get ita Data Companies hold on you and get it a race. There will be an end to tick boxes on websites which often see consumers handing over data by default and the Data Watchdog will be able to find up to £70 million for companies, or 4 of the global turnover. The new law is almost entirely based on a major new European Data protection regulation that comes in next may. It is designed to tackle the power of the giant firms which draw our information. We are now leaving a data trail wherever we go, turn on your mobile phone and you could be uploading your Exercise Details or even your dating preferences. Get on Public Transport with a travel card and there will be a log of every journey that you make. And pay with a card in a shop or online and even more information about what you like and how you live will end up in the hands of big companies. It is social networks which now hold much of our most sensitive data. In future it should be easier to wipe away things we would rather forget. Should be easier to wipe away things we would ratherforget. Though exactly how much power the new law gives individuals is not clear. Exactly how much power the new law gives individuals is not clearlj think it is a start, it puts a line in the sand certainly to say individuals, their personal data, it gives the sense of control and that is essential for trust and for the protection of a very fundamental right of privacy. Whether or not it will achieve that objective is another thing. Our data is in the hands of all kinds of companies, big and small. All of them have now got to get to grips with very complex new rules or face the threat of big fines. North korea says it will make america pay the price, for leading the International Condemnation of its missile and Nuclear Weapons programme. Over the weekend, the Un Security Council voted unanimously to impose sanctions against the country for carrying out repeated missile tests. Those tests have increased tensions in the region. Rupert Wingfield Hayes has had rare access to a Us Military Base on the border with north korea. Aircraft radio. A relic of the cold war, on the last cold war frontier. Just after dawn, im riding the chase car as a us spy plane heads out on a classified mission. The pilot will climb to 70,000 feet, and from there, Peer Deep Into north korea. Our mission is to provide the capability for our leadership to see whats going on before anybody else. Were up there every single day to deter the north koreans from deciding one day they can get away with something. Speaks in korean. From across the border tonight, fresh threats. North korean State Tv Warning the us it will pay 1000 times for its crime of imposing new economic sanctions on pyongyang. Meeting in manila with chinas foreign minister, the us Secretary Of State again called on pyongyang to return to the negotiating table. The best signal that north korea could give us that theyre prepared to talk would be to stop these missile launches. Here in south korea at the 51st fighter wing, they continue to hope for the best, whilst preparing for the worst. Everybody weve spoken to here agrees that another conflict on the Korean Peninsula would be an utter disaster for everybody. That hundreds of thousands of people would die. But they also say the best way of stopping it happening is to be ready. And thats why these guys practice and practice and practice so that kim jong un knows that if he tries to attack the south, there will be an overwhelming and immediate response. I hope that north korea calculates correctly and realises that. So obviously, everyone on this side, and i believe north korea does as well. No one wants war. Everyone wants deterrents to work. Should deterrents fail, though, we have to be ready to go. As these 8ns roll down the runway for another practice flight, they are just 48 miles from the north korean border. The same distance as london to brighton. In south korea, the enemy is never far away. Rupert Wingfield Hayes, bbc news, the 0san air base, south korea. Jeremy corbyn returned from holiday today to begin three weeks of campaigning across the country but on his first day back hes been facing questions about events abroad. When asked about violence in venezuela, he said he condemned it but failed to specifically criticise the countrys president. Nicolas maduro has been Accused Ofjailing opposition leaders, rigging a recent election and presiding over months of protests in which more than a hundred people have been killed, many at the hands of the security forces. Vicki young reports. Applause. Back from holiday and back on the campaign trail. Jeremy corbyn says he and his party were written off but proved people wrong. He hopes this summer tour of britain will build on the progress made in the election, and he will focus once again on public services. Its no good congratulating firefighters, paramedics, police officers, for running into a burning building as they did at grenfell tower, and then denying them the proper reward of decent wages and job security in the future. Enough of this hypocrisy, pay them properly and fund the services properly. Applause. Mr corbyn insiss hes the only leader offering a message of hope to voters. The next general election isnt due for almost five years but westminster has been a volatile place recently and Jeremy Corbyn says he wants to be ready for the unexpected. Labours identified dozens of seats where they believe they can beat the conservatives next time round. And Officials Say mr corbyn is now in Permanent Campaign mode. But its Events Thousands of miles away in venezuela that some want the Labour Leader to talk about. A disputed vote has given president maduros Ruling Socialist Party more powers. Violent protests have left over 100 dead. Would he now condemn president maduro after voicing support for him in the past . What i condemn is the violence that has been done by any side, by all sides, in this. Violence is not going to solve the issue. The issues in venezuela are partly structural because not enough has been done to diversify the economy away from oil. That has to be a priority for the future. But critics say mr corbyn needs to go much further than that. Well, iwould hope he would first of all condemn completely the dictatorial tendencies of the regime. And accept that whats seen ten or 15 years ago as a role model has actually failed, let alone apply that kind of system to the uk. The Labour Leader is back where he feels comfortable, addressing enthusiastic supporters. Over the next few weeks though his aim is to win over those who voted conservative two months ago. Vicki young, bbc news, crawley. Police have named a one Year Old Girl who died when a Car Hit A Wall in merthyr tydfill. Pearl melody black was killed yesterday when the unoccupied range rover rolled down a hill and struck a wall.

Couples struggling to start a family face a Postcode Lottery when trying to get Ivf Treatment on the nhs in england. Thats according to the Charity Fertility network uk it says that in several areas theres been a cut in the number of ivf cycles offered or a reduction in the age at which women qualify for the treatment. Our Health Editor hugh pym is here. Is this about clinicaljudgment or driven by money . It seems to be money, nhs Clinical Commissioning Groups in england who pay for a local health care say the nhs does not have unlimited resources and theyre making not have unlimited resources and they re making difficult not have unlimited resources and theyre making difficult decisions every day, balancing the needs of the individual against those of the entire local population. Weve known about these restrictions to idf for some time but the trend seems to have accelerated and in england, of 209 of these groups, 129 will offer just one cycle of ivf and five of them will not provide anything at all. Even though the clinical regulator says there should be pretty full cycles of ivf offered to women up to the age of a0. Some groups now are restricting it to those below the age of 35. Doctor said patients are being let down and left devastated and vulnerable and having to pay for ivf themselves if they can to pay for ivf themselves if they ca n afford to pay for ivf themselves if they can afford it. In contrast the Nhs In Scotland offers three full cycles of ivf and in wales it is too and in Northern Ireland one. Thank you very much. One of scotland yards most Senior Officers has defended the governments controversial Counter Terrorism programme known as prevent. Commander dean haydon has accused parts of the Muslim Community of not wanting the programme to work. He said criticism of prevent was based on ignorance. He was speaking to nomia iqbal, from the bbcs asian network. Four Terror Attacks in three months. Its made some people question whether the goverments key strategy to stop people from being radicalised is working. The programme, called prevent, has been accused of being toxic and stigmatising muslims. But scotland yards most senior Counterterrorism Officer has defended it. Some of the criticisms coming from sections of the community that dont, for a variety of different reasons, political or otherwise, just dont want prevent to work in the first place. Thats based on sometimes ignorance, that they dont understand properly how prevent works. Prevent has been around for nearly 15 years. Teachers, parents and faith leaders refer people they are suspicious about to a local prevent team. Latest figures show there were around 7,500 referrals last year. And of those, action was taken on one in ten cases. Those involved in the prevent programme say its work deals with a range of threats across society, including far right extremism. But some have criticised it as an attack on muslims, and are not convinced by the way the programme is being run. Critics say prevent is not transparent enough about what it does. I think we need the community buying. It needs to be community led. We need to make sure that its focused on safeguarding. So everybody feels confident, right from the beginning, that prevent is not about spying, not about undermining a particular community, but it is about safeguarding vulnerable individuals and keeping us all safe. Thats something everyone agrees on. But critics are calling for an independent review of the programme. And there is concern that until that happens, prevent will continue to generate mistrust and fear among some communities. Nomia iqbal, bbc news. And you can hear the full interview with commander dean haydon, speaking to Nomia Iqbal On the bbcs asian network. Thats in the big debate, live at the met police. Their personal information online. And still to come. Jodie whittaker gives her first broadcast interview about being named as the new doctor who. Coming up in sportsday on bbc news. With all of the latest reports, results, interviews and features from the bbc sports centre. Sickle cell disease is the most common and Fastest Growing genetic Blood Disorder in the uk. The nhs says the condition, which can cause extreme pain and life threatening infections, affects 15,000 people in britain, mainly people of African Caribbean and mediterranean origin. More than 300 babies are born each year with the condition. Children living with sickle cell are several hundred times more likely to have a stroke. But experimental therapy could bring a glimmer of hope. Colleen harris went to meet two young people whose lives have been afflicted by the disease. A full and active life of sport. Everyday things ten year old matthew loves. But with sickle cell disease, that fun can come with a world of pain. I mostly have Abdominal Pain on my right or my left side. It feels like a needle is inside your stomach. Feels like a fire is inside of you. So then you dont want to do anything, you just want to have, you just want to rest and hope it goes away. Matthew come for your medication, sweetheart. Around 300 children are born with sickle cell every year. And a stroke is 250 times more common in a child with the Sickle Cell Disorder. Thats one of the worries for matthews mum, whos been dealing with his illness since he was six months old. Hes very brave, hes a little fighter, like i always say. He makes me proud of him so much. Its just too much for him. You know, its emotionally breaking him down. So, what is Sickle Cell Disorder . In a healthy person, Red Blood Cells are usually smooth and round. They carry oxygen through the body. But when you have sickle cell, some cells are abnormally shaped. Theyre stiff and sticky, and can clump together. That then blocks blood flow, restricting oxygen to the limbs and organs. 20 Year Old University student daniel has survived five strokes caused by sickle cell. He had his first at the age of six. He told me what he remembered. I couldnt push myself to do anything, even if i tried. So ijust sort of stayed in bed, and i think my mum found something was strange and lifted up my hand, and it would completely drop down like i cant hold it up. The next thing i remember is just my brother carrying me into an ambulance. So what hope is there for daniel, matthew, and thousands of others . Doctors are hopeful that gene therapy will eventually reverse sickle cell. But its still in the early stages of development, and there are talks to start trials in the uk. The exciting thing thats happened recently is that one child in france has been successfully treated with gene therapy where the bone marrow is taken from the child and then the bone marrow is repaired in the laboratory. But its hopeful that having done it successfully once, this will then expand quite quickly to be more widely available. For matthew, those are hopes to hold on to, for a chance of a healthy life.

Its britains busiest station, but almost half the platforms at London Waterloo are now shut due to major upgrade works. Network rail says the closures are necessary to improve services. Emma simpson is there. Emma, it still looks busy behind you. It is busy, george, but the trains have been replaced by Noisy Diggers in this part of waterloo. This is possibly the biggest and most complex engineering that this Train Station has seen in a century. Ten platforms are closed until august 29, the day after the bank holiday. That is practically half the station. It is going to involve around 1000 engineers and on site workers doing shifts around the clock. What they are basically doing, i dont know if you can see it, is extending the platforms to allow longer trains. This will eventually mean an extra a5,000 passengers will be able to go to and from waterloo during rush hour every day. Thats the game. But the pain is big disruption. But for months now, the real bosses have been urging passengers to work from home, find alternative routes, even go on holiday. They do seem to be heeding that. Because we have had no payoffs today. One commuter said it was the best to meet the dive had. It was so quiet on the trains today. The best commute the dive had. We will have to see how things develop over the coming weeks. The big question is, will they get all of this done on time . Emma, thank you. Cricket now, and england have won the fourth and final test against south africa at old trafford.
