RBS chaos continues, row grows between Syria and Turkey, Fukushima fish back on sale.

RBS customers try to cope without cash following a software malfunction, Turkey says Syrian forces have shot at another of their fighter jets, fish near Fukushima go back on sale.

Andy Crane with stories from around the world: 
The boss of RBS says customers face days more disruption before his staff get to grips with the massive backlog caused by last week's software break down. We speak to Alistair Cumming, a British tourist who's in Darwin in Australia and has been having big problems. He ran out of cash and couldn't pay his hotel bill, but there's better news by the end of the programme - keep listening.

Turkey is claiming that Syrian forces have shot at another of its war planes. Dr Walid Phares, a middle east advisor to the US Congress, isn't surprised about the reports. He says Turkey has been under massive pressure because of refugees leaving Syria to escape the violence. 

Fish caught off the coast of Fukushima have gone on sale again - more than a year after the nuclear power plant disaster caused by an earthquake and tsunami. Marine expert Ken Buesseler says he's quite surprised this has happened so soon after the disaster, but there's quite a lot of nuclear material which is found naturally in fish anyway.

Plus we speak to a female boxer from New Zealand who's looking forward to the London Olympics, and get a roundup of day one at Wimbledon.
