Travellers across the US are facing unusually long lines at airports, as hundreds of Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents have quit while others continue to miss paychecks and call out of work amid a partial government shutdown.

BBC journalist Christal Hayes was returning home after her honeymoon and was caught in the chaos, reporting wait times of over four hours. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were onsite to provide crowd control.

US President Donald Trump has declared that he will sign an executive order to ensure that TSA agents are paid “immediately” which could provide temporary relief, but it remains unclear what authority the White House could invoke for such a move. Late on Thursday night, the US Senate passed a partial funding bill to pay TSA but it still has to be passed in the House.

Golf star Tiger Woods has been involved in a car crash in Florida.

In a statement, the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said it is actively investigating the crash on Jupiter Island, which took place on Friday just after 14:00 local time (about 19:00 GMT).

The BBC’s US media partner CBS says a source at Martin County Fire Rescue confirmed it was a two-car crash – with one vehicle rolling over.

One person is stable, while another refused to go to the hospital. Woods’ condition is not yet known as no further details have been released.

Police are scheduled to give an update at about 21:00 GMT.

Mary Rand, the first British woman to win an Olympic gold medal in athletics, has died at the age of 86.

Rand secured the long jump title at the Tokyo Games in 1964, also winning silver in the inaugural women’s pentathlon and bronze in the 4x100m relay.

That meant she also became the first British woman to win gold, silver and bronze at a single Olympic Games.

In the long jump, Rand broke the British and Olympic records with her first leap of 6.59m and then smashed the world record on her fifth attempt with an effort of 6.76m.

“Mary was the most gifted athlete I ever saw,” said Ann Packer, who won 800m gold at the 1964 Olympics days after Rand’s triumph and was her room-mate in Tokyo.

“She was as good as athletes get. There has never been anything like her since – and I don’t believe there ever will.”

Rand, whose first husband was British rower Sydney Rand, also won long jump gold at the 1966 Commonwealth Games in Jamaica.

However, injury denied her the chance to defend her Olympic title in 1968 and she retired at the age of 28 the same year.

Born in Wells, Somerset, she was only 17 when she set her first British record in the pentathlon, and she won 12 national titles across long jump, high jump, sprint hurdles and pentathlon during her illustrious career.

Rand was voted the BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 1964 and was awarded an MBE in the 1965 New Year Honours List.

Iran are among the countries who have qualified for this summer’s World Cup but their participation in the tournament, to be hosted by the US, Mexico and Canada from 11 June, remains in doubt.

They are scheduled to open their World Cup campaign against New Zealand and Belgium in Los Angeles before their final group game against Egypt in Seattle.

However, US President Donald Trump said earlier this month it would not be “appropriate” for them to take part “for their own life and safety”.

Mehdi Taj, the head of Iran’s football federation, then said the country will not travel to the US for what would be a fourth consecutive World Cup appearance.

“When Trump has explicitly stated that he cannot ensure the security of the Iranian national team, we will certainly not travel to America,” Taj said in a post, external on a social media account belonging to the Iranian embassy in Mexico.

Taj said Iran were negotiating with Fifa to hold their matches in Mexico but the governing body appear to have ruled out that possiblity.

Iran, who were beaten 2-1 by Nigeria on Friday, will face Costa Rica in another friendly in Turkey on Tuesday.

Earlier this month, the country’s women’s national team players declined to sing the national anthem during an AFC Women’s Asian Cup match, leading to a host on Iranian state TV calling them “traitors”.

A number of the players had initially sought humanitarian visas to stay in Australia after concerns they would face repercussions for their protest but all members of the team eventually returned to Iran after dropping their bids for asylum.
