And the series against south africa. And coming up in Sportsday On Bbc News i will have the very latest from the fourth day of the World Athletics Championships here at the London Stadium with four gold medals to be won. Good evening. Companies will be forced to reveal just how much personal information they have about you under plans announced by the government. The new laws will give you more control over the amount of personal data held online. People will also be able to Ask Companies to delete personal data including content that they posted as children. Firms who dont comply could face massive fines. Heres our Technology Correspondent rory cellan jones. Your data, a valuable resource flowing around the world giving companies and governments all sorts of intimate details about how you live your life. Now a new law is supposed to give us all more control. The law reform is an opportunity to keep up with the change in technology. Companies will have more accountability and consumers are going to 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 it erased. There will be an end to tick boxes on websites which often seek consumers handing over data by default. And the Data Watchdog will be able to Fine Companies up to £70 million, or 4 of their global turnover. The new law is almost entirely based on a major new European Data protection regulation that comes in next may. Its designed to tackle the power of the giant firms which store 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 everyjourney 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. Its social networks which now hold much of our most sensitive data. In future it should be easier to wipe away things wed ratherforget, though exactly how much power the new law gives individuals isnt clear. I think its a start. It certainly puts a line in the sand to say, you know, individuals personal data, a sense of control, its essential, its essential for trust, its essential for the protection of a very fundamental right which is privacy. Whether or not it will achieve that objective is another thing. Our data is in the hands of all sorts 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. Rory is here now. This is clearly going to create a lot of work for the Companies Involved but why is it happening now . It is happening now because last year the European Union agreed a massive new Data Protection law, the general Data Protection regulation and britain is effectively cutting and pasting that and putting it into uk law. We could have decided to go our own way and do Something Different but the government has looked at what is a gold rush in the use of data right now and it has become a very valuable resource and it wants companies to be able to trade freely across borders and not be affected by different Data Protection regimes. So it effectively imitated them are staying in line with what them are staying in line with what the eu is doing, but it means lots of work for organisations big and small and it will affect all of them and they will have to get up to date with this and it comes into effect at the end of may next year. A lot of them are still a long way behind the curve. Thank you. North korea says it will make america pay the price for leading the International Condemnation of its missile and Nuclear Weapons programme. The Un Security Council voted unanimously at the weekend to impose sanctions against the country for carrying out repeated Missile Tests which have increased tensions in the region. Rupert Wingfield Hayes has had rare access to a Us Military Base on the border with north korea. 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. We are up there every single day to deter the north koreans from deciding one day they can get away with something. 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 they are prepared to talk would be to stop these missile launches. You know, we have not had an extended period of time where it an extended period of time where they have not taken some kind of provocative action. Despite supporting the latest sanctions against pyongyang, china has not completely abandoned its old ally. Translation the International Community demands north korea abandon its Nuclear Weapons programme in order to maintain the non proliferation treaty. But north korea considers it is under military threat. That is also a security issue. Here in south korea at the 51st fighter wing, they continue to hope for the best, while 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 practise and practise and practise, so that kim jong un knows 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 deterrence to work. Should deterrence fail, though, we have to be ready to go. As these aios roll down the runway for another practice flight, theyrejust 48 miles from the north korean border. The same distance as london to brighton. And south korea, the enemy, is never far away. Rupert Wingfield Hayes, bbc news, 0san airbase, south korea. Couples struggling to start a family face a Postcode Lottery when trying to get Ivf Treatment on the nhs. Thats according to the Charity Fertility network uk, which says that in several areas, theres been a cut in the number of nf cycles offered or a reduction in the age at which women qualify for the treatment. Since the start of the year, Ivf Treatment has been halted altogether in some parts of england. 0ur Health Editor hugh pym reports. Richard and terry know all about the emotional highs and lows. They were allowed one round of nf through the nhs which failed. They then had to go private for the next one and their baby son was born. So they experienced the joy of parenthood, though richard feels it was unfair that while they had to pay others in neighbouring areas would get more than one free ivf cycle. We know how it feels to have a happen to you and thats why we think its absolutely outrageous that the Postcode Lottery for Ivf Treatment even exists, because it is hugely unfair, it deals a Crushing Blow to people who are already at a significant life low. Health regulators say the nhs should provide up to three cycles of ivf for women aged up to a0. The latest figures compiled by Fertility Campaigners highlight the extent of the nf lottery. 0f Fertility Campaigners highlight the extent of the nf lottery. Of the local Commissioning Groups who pay for health care in england, 129, more than half, now offerjust one cycle of nf and five areas in the southeast including croydon and parts of essex and norfolk dont offer any. The nhs in scotland, meanwhile, offers three cycles to women who need it up to the age of a0. In wales, women can expect two rounds of treatment, while in Northern Ireland its just rounds of treatment, while in Northern Ireland itsjust one rounds of treatment, while in Northern Ireland its just one for those who are eligible. Some doctors in the field argue there is too much variation and that some nhs managers are ignoring National Guidelines drawn up by regulators. They recommended three cycles of Ivf Treatment, full cycles for couples 01 treatment, full cycles for couples or individuals who need fertility treatment. The fact this has not been taken up across the country is a scandal, quite frankly. In some areas they are cutting the upper age limit from a0. This bristol couples baby son was born after ivf on the nhs, but under new plans in the area they wouldnt have qualified as only women aged between 30 and 35 will be eligible. Local Health Chiefs know that is out of line with the regulators view, but they say money is tight. The guidelines are there as guidelines andi guidelines are there as guidelines and i think the nhs budget is under tough times. I think we need to think of how best we spent the money, so of course the amount of money, so of course the amount of money we get relates to how much money we get relates to how much money we get relates to how much money we spend. There is intense financial pressure on the nhs, commissioners say there are not dumb at unlimited resources and difficult choices have to be made. Hugh pym, bbc news. There are not unlimited resources. And if youd like more information about the ivf services where you live, you can find details of how and where treatment is being restricted on our website. Just search bbc. Co. Uk health. A brief look at some of the days other news stories. Police have named a one Year Old Girl who died when a Car Hit A Wall in Merthyr Tydfil as pearl melody black. She was killed yesterday after an unoccupied range rover rolled down a hill. Her parents described her as The Brightest Of Stars and said her death had left A Massive Hole in their hearts.

The labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn has condemned the violence in venezuela, but stopped short of criticising the countrys president , nicolas maduro, who he has expressed support for in the past. More than 100 people have died in Anti Government protests in venezuela over the past few months. Now, mr corbyn is facing calls to publicly criticise the countrys leader. 0ur Political Correspondent vicki young reports. 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 at 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 deny them the proper reward of decent wages and job security in the future. Enough of this cant and hypocrisy. Pay them properly and fund the services properly. Mr corbyn insists hes the only leader offering a message of hope to voters. The next General Election is not due for almost five years but westminsters 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 around 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. In the past, mr corbyn has voiced support for mr maduro, even phoning in to his weekly radio show. Would he condemn him now . 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, i would hope he would first of all condemn completely the dictatorial tendencies of the regime and then accept that what was seen ten or 15 years ago as a kind of 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. A 20 year old british model, who says she was kidnapped and held for nearly a week in italy, has returned to the uk. Chloe ayling says she feared for her life. Italian Police Believe the model was attacked and drugged, before attempts were made to sell her in an online auction. A polish man who lives in the uk has been arrested. Gavin lee reports from milan. Held captive inside this isolated italian farmhouse, the bizarre and elaborate Kidnap Allegation centres on how 20 year old model chloe ayling, from south london, was duped into leaving the uk for a photoshoot in milan. Once inside this fake studio, she is said to have been snatched by three men and injected with the drug ketamine. Unconscious, she was bundled into this bag, placed in the boot of a car and driven away. While chloe ayling was held captive in this house behind me, the Police Statement says she was tied to furniture, a chest of drawers, whilst the kidnappers tried to sell her on the dark web, and then raise a ransom. Three weeks ago, chloe ayling finally fled her captors but stayed in italy to help investigators. She is back in the uk and the details are only now coming to light. Ive been through a terrifying experience. I feared for My Life Second By second, minute by minute, hour by hour. I am incredibly grateful to the italian and uk authorities for all they have done to secure my safe release. Italian Authorities Say she was freed after being driven to the british consulate in milan by this man, lukasz herba, a polish National Living in the west midlands, now charged with kidnap and extortion offences. But there are conflicting reports about this case, why chloe was seen shopping with her captor before she was freed. She was told that she was going to be sold to somebody in the middle east for sex. She was told that people were there, watching her and ready to kill her if she tried anything. So she thought that the best idea was to go
