things got a little bit more out of hand. excuse the cameras, but you will see there were some smoke grenades were fired by the police, having an obvious impact on the protesters are. we are going to get more on the situation in phoenix from our correspondence was there a little bit late in the bulletin. these are recorded pictures. the situation remains tense ian sleeman —— phoenix, arizona. as for within the venue itself, mr trump launched a blistering attack on the media for almost an hour. he also defended his record on opposing. so, the truly dishonest people in the media and the fake media, they make up stories, they have no sources in many cases. they say a source said there is no such thing, but they don't report the fa cts . thing, but they don't report the facts. just like they don't want to report that i spoke out forcefully against hatred, eager tree and violence, and strongly condemned the neo—nazis, the white supremacists the kkk. president trump speaking a short while ago. leaked documents from the united nations say that the saudi—led coalition, as well as the houthi rebels are killing and maiming children and that the coalition is also blocking the delivery of food and medicine, leaving millions facing starvation. the documents, obtained by the bbc, suggest both sides in yemen's war are violating international law. yemen is now in its third year of war, which has created the world's most urgent humanitarian crisis. the bbc‘s nawal al maghafi reports from the houthi—held area of hudaydah. a warning — you may find some of the images disturbing. many of yemen's children have only ever known war. child coughing. and hudaydah central hospital is full of them. victims of a conflict that has left their country battered, broken and starving. i first met dr abdullah al zuhayri a year ago. he tells me things are now much worse. translation: we have started to see so many more cases of malnutrition. now, it's not only the poor bringing their children

there are no beds available. his family stay by his side. as we talk, the doctor interrupts us. a bed has been freed and he is rushed to intensive care. this is one of the area's last functioning hospitals, but it's on the brink. all these people have spent all the money they have to get this far. now the electricity is off, so all the machines are off, all the incubators are off, all the oxygen has stopped. and this happens all the time. the war between the saudi—backed government and the houthi rebels is now in its third year. the region's richest nation bombing its poorest. it's killed thousands and left millions homeless. we head across town. wherever you go, displaced people line the streets. with all borders closed, there's no escape. even the refugee camp offered no protection for mohammed and his family. hudaydah is yemen's main port city — it should be a lifeline, but now it's barely operating, after the saudi coalition bombed the cranes and blocked their replacements. food should not be a weapon of war, food should be a weapon of peace. 95% of all the food that we need to feed the innocent people comes through this sport. —— port. if this port is bombed and completely made useless, literally, hundreds of thousands of children will die and millions of people will die along with it. but it's notjust starvation that the war is causing. yemen now

situation in phoenix, arizona. our correspondence is there where donald trump had been giving his address. obviously, a very tense situation. there are a number of people around here are wearing masks and on the other side of the street are the police, lined up. that will try and get you a better look at what is happening here with the police. but like that you can see flashing is from a police helicopter above us. tell me what happened. my cousin got it with a bean bag. they are shooting at us, they are trying to stop our protest. what started it? what started it was donald trump. but more immediately? donald trump. thank you very much. a lot of people are unhappy about the president of the united states. there are a lot of protesters, police just moving towards a theory so we are just going to keep an eye on them because it has been some teargas fired in the past few minutes but they have marched forwards. there were a lot more protesters here earlier, a lot more, and they were probably speaking broadly speaking they were pretty peaceful, which... police and is trying to move people down the street. i would surely what has happened. let's have a look at this. james, i don't know if you can hear me. you are asking on the protesters what started this. i have seen some reports that stones and bottles had been thrown at the police. can you give... had any idea as to what caused this and how many protesters we re caused this and how many protesters were there? i don't know is the short answer. i will not speculate. i was inside the rally when it began. there is quite a lot of gas in the street now, so we are going to keep moving away from it. a car here are just surrounded by a burning canister. some people are moving towards the police. i'm not sure it has been deployed by the police. i willjust move away from this. let's just moved down the street a little bit. there you go. we will keep moving. you just make sure you are ok and the last thing we want is to be taking in some of those gas canisters kneeing spray. as you can see, a difficult situation in phoenix in arizona after president trump gave an address at the convention centre in phoenix to very much a supportive crowd there, the protesters were waiting outside to make clear their feelings about mostly mr trump's remarks with regard to white supremacists. that ta kes regard to white supremacists. that takes us back to the situation in cha rlottesville takes us back to the situation in charlottesville a couple of weeks ago. we are going to keep a close eye on that for you and we will go back to james if and when required. in the meantime, let's get the business news. advertising does rather well. it is seen as a global bellwether. the world's largest advertising group is due to report its latest numbers in the next couple of hours. the advertiser is seen a bellwetherfor an industry that's changed dramatically in recent years. while the total spent by brands globally on advertising in 2016 was up at $493 billion — where it's being spent is shifting significantly. while traditional advertising sales were effectivly flat — global digital ad sales grew by 17% to $178 billion. that number will of course keep growing and by 2021 it's estimated it will account for 50% of all adverts. so where are those dollars going? mostly to facebook and google — together they control 54% of the global digital advertising market, up from 44% in 2015. but are adverts on these platforms even getting to their audience? it's been estimated that invalid traffic — that's where a bot rather than a human views an advert — is costing advertisers a staggering $16.5 billion a year, and that number is expected to grow. we will talk more about that in world business report. also in the programme: in hong kong the stock market has been shut down by typhoon hato, which has been battering the city. the storm has caused havoc — with hundred of flights cancelled, with most schools

convention centre to his supporters. it is not quite a stand—off. we have seen the police moving forward, letting off teargas canisters to push supporters, the demonstrators, i should say, back, in the hope of dispersing them. this is the situation and we will keep across this for you here on bbc news. prince william and prince harry have been recalling the seven days between their mother's death and her funeral in a new bbc documentary. the princes describe how they were numb and confused when they first heard of their mother's death in 1997, and were grateful for the seclusion provided by balmoral castle in scotland. our royal correspondent nicholas witchell has more. it was the week when a nation mourned and the monarchy faced sharp criticism. at its heart were two boys grieving for the loss of their mother but required by their royal position to appear in public and help assuage the public‘s sense of loss. in the bbc documentary william and harry speak of the numbness and confusion they felt when they were told that their mother was dead. and in harry's case it is clear there is still anger to the french photographers who were pursuing diana's speeding car in the moments before the crash in the tunnel in paris. one of the hardest things to come to terms with is the fact that the people that chased her into the tunnel were the same that were taking photographs of her while she was dying in the back seat of the car. william and i know that. we have been told that from people that know that it was the case. she had had quite a severe head injury. she was still alive on the back seat. those people that caused the accident, instead of helping, were taking photographs of her dying on the back seat. then those photographs made their way back to the news desks in this country. william and harry were in balmoral when they heard the news in paris. they speak in support of their grandmotherfor they speak in support of their grandmother for her efforts to shield them, and/or their father — he tried to do his best, said harry. when they moved from balmoral to london they encountered grieving crowds. and it is clear that they found the experience bewildering with so many sobbing and wanting to touch them. the decision to walk behind their mother's coffin said they felt a strong sense of duty even then. when you have something so even then. when you have something so traumatic as the death of your mother when you are 15, as, very sadly, many people have experienced, and no one wants to experience, it leaves you, you know, it will make oi’ leaves you, you know, it will make or break you, and i wouldn't let it break me. i wanted her to be proud of the person i would become. i didn't want her worried, or her legacy to be that william or harry we re legacy to be that william or harry were completely and utterly devastated by it. and all of her ha rd devastated by it. and all of her hard work, love and energy she put into us when we were younger would go to waste. they were children coping with their own grief and the attention of the grieving nation. and they kept going to honour their mother's memory. and viewers in the uk can see diana: seven days on sunday night at 7:30pm on bbc one. england will play new zealand in the women's rugby world cup final this weekend. they beat france 20—3 in the second semi—final in belfast

tonight at six. millions face higher electricity bills after british gas announces a price hike. the company says there'll be help for the poorest households but a typical bill will go up by nearly £80. they seemed to overcharge and the bills go up, prices go up and then they do not go down when prices go down. i guess you have the option to choose a different supplier. we'll be asking why bills are going up while wholesale electricity costs have come down. also tonight. it's 50 times more powerful than heroin — fenatanyl, the drug that's led to dozens of deaths. moped menace — police reveal

that could give rural communities better broadband connections. and coming up in sportsday on bbc news. the world's greatest sprinter prepares for his final bow. we'll hearfrom usain bolt‘s pre world championships press conference at half past six. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. over three million british gas customers face a hefty rise in their electricity bills. the company argues that it's own costs have risen — and from september it will charge 12.5% more for electricity. so what does that mean? well, a typical household on a dualfuel tariff will see its annual bill go up by £76. it's the first increase from british gas for nearly four years but that hasn't stopped consumer groups and the government condemning the move. our business editor, simonjack, reports. electricity, a basic need, a simple product. the same wherever all whoever you buy it from. if you buy from british gas it will be 12.5% more expensive from september as the u:k.'s largest more expensive from september as the u: k.‘s largest supplier, more expensive from september as the u:k.'s largest supplier, it hikes prices for the first time in four yea rs. prices for the first time in four years. given wholesale costs have come down over that period, why waste prices now. we agree over the last few years since we dropped electricity prices the last time, wholesale costs have indeed fallen by about £36 on a typical bill. but we've seen these other factors of transmission and distribution costs and energy policy costs go up by almost £100. that is the main driver. electricity may be a simple commodity but the factors that influence its price are complicated. 22% of the bill is made up of the company's operational expenses. there's also 5% vat in there. the wholesale price makes up 36% of the bill, that's the price at which the energy suppliers buy the energy they then sell on to us. but british gas concedes that this has actually fallen since the beginning of the year. then there's the cost of delivering the electricity to our homes. that makes up 29% of the cost. british gas says rising costs here is one reason responsible for today's hike. but figures from 0fgem show these costs fell over the last year. the other one is government policy, that makes up 13% and that includes increases to renewable energy and promoting energy saving measures like insulation. british gas says they're going up, 0fgem says yes they are, but only by 2%. no wonder some consumers are confused. they make it as complicated as they can and people do not understand. the bills are not clear. i do not know where british gas are coming from but you have the option to choose another supplier. wholesale prices have stayed the same 01’ wholesale prices have stayed the same or have wholesale prices have stayed the same 01’ have gone wholesale prices have stayed the same or have gone down as far as i know. they put them up for consumers and that is disgusting. british gas froze prices when others raised them earlier in the year so it is catching up with the rest of the pack. consumer groups say it is the responsibility of government to take industrywide action. government needs to urgently look at what it does for those customers who are paying over the odds. there has been so much discussion about the energy market and that it does not work for consumers. the discussion needs to end and we need action. according to the opposition, that action should include a cap on energy prices. the labour party would introduce an initial price cap and develop the energy supplies so that this cartel we have now could not control pricing levels and holders over a barrel in future. policies like capping energy prices to support working families... the conservatives had a cap in a ma nifesto conservatives had a cap in a manifesto but it was dropped from the queen's speech and now the government wants 0fgem to find a way to keep costs down energy remains a hot political issue. simonjack, bbc news. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth is in westminster. the government has condemned this rise. but what can the government do, we've just heard rise. but what can the government do, we'vejust heard it rise. but what can the government do, we've just heard it was an election issue? all political parties have been banned the price rise, labour has said it is unacceptable, the government says it could affect customers already on the lowest value tariffs. but the question remains what could and should the government do. theresa may had said during the election campaign, that the conservatives would introduce an energy price cap. but when she lost a majority that plan was shelved. in part because a brexit, the government already has a heavy programme of legislation and they know not all conservative mps backed the idea of a price cap so thatis backed the idea of a price cap so that is not the parliamentary battle but want to enter into right now. they said the regulator 0fgem has sufficient powers and they're waiting for the results of a consultation from 0fgem which could see proposals for a more limited cap perhaps for the most vulnerable customers. but ministers insist the idea of a wider cap is not off the table. that is something of a threat to the energy companies saying if you do not take action, we could. but do not expect that any time $0011. but do not expect that any time soon. allow the government is keen to be seen to be talking tough this. 60 people have died in the uk in the past eight months after taking the painkilling drug fenta nyl — according to the national crime agency. it's the drug that was linked to the death of the rock legend prince, and is 50 times more potent than heroin. these latest figures mightjust be the tip of the iceberg — there are another 70 cases in which fentanyl is the suspected cause of death. asjune kelly reports two thirds of the known deaths have been in the yorkshire, humberside and cleveland areas. the rock legend prince died suddenly last year at the age of 57. fans gathered near his home in minnesota where his body was found. # purple rain... a year on, medical examiners concluded his death was due to an accidental overdose of the drug fentanyl. due to an accidental overdose of the drug fenta nyl. it due to an accidental overdose of the drug fentanyl. it was unclear where he had got it from and no one was charged over his death. fentanyl was a drug used to treat cancer patients. but now police in the uk are becoming concerned at its growing use by drug addicts here. it is said to be 50 times more powerful than heroin. and it is killing people. sean who does not want his face shone, lost a sister to a suspected fentanyl overdose a few months ago. she had gone and bought some and she knew what it was. she went back to the hostel, and we found two days later. and most of those who lost their lives have been heroin users. to be that far gone on heroin users. to be that far gone on heroin and other drugs, the lifestyle that they lead, nothing matters to them. theyjust want lifestyle that they lead, nothing matters to them. they just want that relief. just getting away from the world for an hour or two. fentanyl is so lethal that this is how police we re is so lethal that this is how police were kitted up when they raided a suspect ‘s house. protected against breathing it in. there is an even more powerful substance, a tiny grain of this could prove fatal. so why are more people using these drugs question mark we believe this is partly down to the ongoing need for dealers to be trying to compete with each other and sometimes introducing drugs in the marketplace they believe might give them a competitive edge. and increase profits. fenta nyl is competitive edge. and increase profits. fentanyl is known as a synthetic opioid and addicts mixed with heroin. police say people are playing russian roulette with their lives. every time they take it. jim kelly, bbc news. police in london are having to adopt new tactics to deal with an upsurge in moped crime. criminals on two wheels have been riding around the city targeting people with mobile phones or bags. police say the number of incidents have tripled in the last year and now the thieves are even travelling to london from the home counties. our special correspondent lucy manning has been investigating the growing threat from moped gangs. last night near harrods police and fire brigade rushed to a pet gang attack. liquid, possibly acid, thrown at the victim as they tried to steal his watch. a few months ago in east london and a motorcyclist is surrounded by four mopeds. a fire extinguisher let off in his face. in london it is increasingly the crime of choice for teenage offenders. police telling the bbc the average age of mopeds gangs is 15. with some just 13. please send me the location of where he is. delivery driver hussein was attacked three weeks ago on his mopeds when acid was thrown at him as they stole his bike. he is 110w at him as they stole his bike. he is now part of a social media group with hundreds of mopeds drivers warning if a gang is spotted. another alert comes in. just turning left to go towards my nextjob. two quys left to go towards my nextjob. two guys on left to go towards my nextjob. two guys on one left to go towards my nextjob. two guys on one bike. just be careful. how guys on one bike. just be careful. h ow ofte n guys on one bike. just be careful. how often are people posting that the thing these mopeds around? today, so many. police do not stop 01’ today, so many. police do not stop or chase them. they're getting away. we're going to meet other delivery drivers, some have stopped working after ten o'clock at night, they're so after ten o'clock at night, they're so scared of the mopeds gangs. where are you seeing the mopeds? everywhere, everywhere around and police do not care. it is not men, it is kids. 16, your life in danger. from someone who will come. when we arejust from someone who will come. when we are just stopped at traffic lights. someone could attack from behind.- we talk, a bike cuts across the pavement, the driver and passenger with their faces covered. do not fill me. the delivery drivers say this is one of the mopeds gangs, they threaten our team. later we check the number plate, it is not insured and has changed colour. police believe the characteristics ofa police believe the characteristics of a stolen bike. the last year there were 16,000 mopeds related crimes in london. three times as many as the previous year. but the bbc has been told police are testing a new way of catching the attackers. spraying them with liquid that can later be traced. we're looking at a that delivers a unique dna piece which sprays on them and can be traced back to them later on. if equipment or clothing or the bike is sprayed. and can use bravest on them as they are taking off? potentially, yes. were trying to find a way to do that safely. it is being tested under home office guidelines. police insist they often give chase. there isa insist they often give chase. there is a misconception that there is less pleasant and people do not reported but the number of pursuits has increased. you do not pursue every mopeds gangs when a call comes in? that is true but the reality is by the time we get the call for most of these offences, it has already gone. online is also a brazen. bristol bike taker, with pictures of mopeds, mass riders and bolt cutters. avon and somerset police we re cutters. avon and somerset police were investigating say the account is used to taunt the owners of stolen bikes. others appear to offer keys for sale to unlock mopeds. and teenagers post videos of themselves driving recklessly, breaking traffic laws. this is believed to be riders filming themselves being chased by the police. a police video shows phone thieves fling up the wrong side of the m11. the bbc has been told mopeds gangs are now coming into london from kent, sussex, surrey in buckinghamshire. police believe the growing problem in the capital will spread across the country. lucy manning, bbc news. the john radcliffe hospital in oxford is having to close its trauma unit for a year because of fire safety concerns over cladding on the outside of the building. the hospital is moving 52 beds to other wards and the unit will be shut for 12 months to inpatients. it comes after a review of the cladding took place following the grenfell tower fire. it will now be replaced. a great day at the white house — that was donald trump's assessment last night after his new director of communications, anthony scaramucci, was sacked even before he'd formally taken up the post. not for the first time the president seemed at odds with many observers of this us administration. here's our north america editorjon sopel. it's being billed as the last supper. anthony scaramucci last night having dinner at where else, the restaurant in the trump hotel, just hours after he'd been unceremoniously dumped. at roughly the same time came this extraordinary tweet from donald trump. a great day at the white house. what? are you kidding? well no, he wasn't. the swearing—in of generaljohn kelly as chief of staff being seen as a new beginning for this administration. he will do a spectacular job, i have no doubt. as chief of staff. so could this mark the end of what's been a turbulent, dysfunctional six—months for all the president's men? the former national security adviser was the first to go. fired afterjust 2a days in the job after he lied about his contacts with the russian ambassador. three months after being fired, trump's first communications director, the rather anonymous mike dubke, handed in his resignation. he cited personal reasons. then came the super sacking. the high profile and brutal dismissal of the former fbi directorjames comey. infuriating the president with his investigation into links between the russians and the trump campaign. 11 days ago it was the turn of beleaguered press secretary sean spicer. he walked, furious that president trump had hired anthony scaramucci as communications director. the departure of reince priebus came as little surprise after he was subject to a vicious verbal attack by incoming communications director scaramucci. but what goes around comes around. afterjust ten days into the job, the mooch was front stabbed by the incoming chief of staff. an easy kill for the former a—star marine general. the profound hope among those close to president trump is that with general kelly in charge, there will be a fundamental change in the way this place operates. organised, disciplined, united. but we've seen this movie before. a change in personnel leading to high expectations followed by a swift return to normal. time will tell. but in the meantime the late—night comedians are making hay. the president has been very busy repealing and replacing his staff, most notably anthony scaramucci, the mooch. the mooch! lated as communications director for only ten days! and he left us with nothing but memories, like a bunch of weird moves. # macarena! # hey, scaramucci! but some things are still refreshingly familiar. donald trump tweeted a short time ago, only the fake news media and trump enemies want me to stop using social media. only way for me to get the truth out. change, yes. but revolution, no. john sopel, bbc news, washington. our top story this evening: over three million british gas customers face a hefty rise in their electricity bills. and still to come: we meet the racing driver who nearly died in a crash — but could be on the brink of a return to formula one. coming up in sportsday on bbc news: england suffer their first major injury blow of euro 2017. keeper karen bardsley will miss the rest of the tournament after it's revealed she broke her leg in the quarter final win over france. now, we know this is a huge issue for those of you who live and work in the countryside — the difficulty in getting anything like a decent broadband connection. three years ago about 20% of the uk could only get a partial service. since then the government has been rolling out super—fast broadband and announced a £30 million investment to improve the infrastructure in rural areas. a pilot scheme in monmouthshire could also help — sian lloyd has been there to have a look. some of the best views in monmouthshire. film—maker martin phillips moved here for the scenery, which often features in his productions. but he's found there's a downside. sending footage to his clients over the internet can be slow. that's about to change after this aerial was fitted outside his home. martin's property is part of a pilot scheme which uses the space between tv signals to deliver high—speed broadband. having the tv whitespace broadband system installed is going to revolutionise the way that i work from home. it's the consistency that makes the difference for us. it is knowing once you press a button it will work, it will send. and the fact that it is raining or cloudy or windy outside isn't going to change that. so how does it work? whitespace broadband uses tv broadcast frequencies left over from the digital switchover to send a broadband signal from a standard mast. like a television signal, it doesn't need direct line of sight. and can travel up to ten kilometres over hills, through buildings and trees, direct to people's homes. it has been recognised for some time that whitespace broadband can help plug the gaps in coverage in places like this. what's new according to the companies involved in this project in monmouthshire is that now it is commercially viable and can deliver faster speeds. however some industry experts believe more should've been done to deliver fibre broadband to as many homes as possible. the former chief technical officer of bt says rural areas have been neglected. all of these stopgap measures are like a finger in a dyke, they underprovide the bandwidth, they hardly meet today's needs let alone tomorrow's. so the thing that is the problem here is we are wasting billions betting on things that cannot possibly meet our needs in the future. the uk's broadband infrastructure is run by openreach, it agreed to split from bt following concerns from the regulator ofcom. 80,000 internet exchange boxes like this one have been installed across the country to connect fibre broadband to properties. but have they focused on providing faster speeds to urban areas at the expense of rolling out coverage to rural communities? there has been some deployment in urban areas which was done commercially by ourselves and other people, but the rural roll—out is accelerating at pace. and you will find that the gaps are being closed. there was no sign of fibre broadband reaching martin phillips. he is pinning his hopes on tv whitespace. but the extent to which this technology will be taken up more widely will depend on how many companies get on board. sian lloyd, bbc news, monmouthshire. pancreatic cancer is one of the most challenging to treat — fewer than 7% of patients make it beyond five years after diagnosis. nowa team based in birmingham believe that moving to surgery earlier than is currently the case could improve success rates. over 9,500 people are diagnosed with the cancer each year in the uk. in a pilot scheme involving 32 patients, the average waiting time from diagnosis to surgery was cut from two months to two weeks. in the vast majority of those cases — 31 patients — tumours were successfully removed. doctors say it will be two years before they can be really sure if operating earlier does extend life chances. there's been a second day of trouble at a prison in hertfordshire where armed inmates have taken over a wing and smashed windows. riot—trained teams were sent to hmp the mount in bovingdon village. the ministry ofjustice says the disturbance is now under control. yesterday at least 50 cells were thought to have been damaged in two wings at the jail. no—one was said to have been injured in that initial violence. he's the fastest man in history, with eight olympic golds and six world records. but usain bolt‘s glittering career is about to come to an end. he'll run his last ever 100 metre race at the world athletics championships in london this saturday — and his final sprint relay a week later. he's been giving a press conference this afternoon and our sports correspondent natalie pirks was there. there are not many other athletes who would need to move their conference because so many journalists applied to be here. in addition to his records and medals there is the 11 world championship gold medals he holds and he hopes to add another two in london. nobody transcends the sport the way he does, he walked on stage, booing us because we did not applaud him enough. he has a magnetic personality, a natural ability and a personality, a natural ability and a personality which has made him one of the best paid stars in the world worth around £115 million. what are we going to do without him? today he attended dance what he is going to do without the rush of competing. attended dance what he is going to do without the

injured but he has fought back and tomorrow takes part in what's being seen as a crucial test. he's been speaking exclusively to joe wilson about that terrible accident — along with his motor racing hopes for the future. a renault formula 1 car. approaching 200 mph. imagine driving it. and then imagine driving it without the full use of one of your arms. nice to see you. robert kubica is in

but it's not clear whether this was linked to the violence. brawls erupted between counter—protesters and white nationalists attending a protest march against plans to remove a statue of a general who had fought for the pro—slavery confederacy during the us civil war. the governor of virginia said his only message for the white supremacists was to "go home." you are not wanted in this great commonwealth. shame on you. you pretend that you are patriots but you are anything but a patriot. you want to talk about patriots, talk about thomas jefferson and george washington, who brought our

patriots, you are not. you came here today to hurt people and you did hurt people. my message is clear, we are stronger than you. that was the governor of virginia. president trump condemned what he called the hatred and bigotry "on many sides" — and state officials declared a state of emergency. our correspondent, laura bicker, has been monitoring the clashes from washington. hate has come to the streets of the southern american city. an explosion of violence sparked after a planned protest by white nationalists. the so—called alt—right, including figures from the ku klux klan and saluting neo—nazi sympathisers. the day started in a tense stand—off as the group was surrounded by anti—racism activists. it then erupted into taunting, shoving and outright brawling. this event has been declared an unlawful assembly. the rally was cancelled before it even began. as the turmoil subsided, police took back the streets. the crowd dispersed, then this... tyres screech. a car, at speed, ploughs through protesters. a state of emergency has now been declared in cha rlottesville. many fear what is known as the alt—right have become emboldened by donald trump's ascent to the white house. the us president said the violence was notjust one—sided. we condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides. on many sides. it has been going on for a long time in our country. amidst the hate, there was some hope. this ain't going to solve nothing. you're out here, beating each other up! a rare and brief moment for division to be set aside. as the mayor now calls for calm to be restored. laura bicker, bbc news, washington. let's stay with that story now — earlier i spoke to local reporter, michael bragg, about the latest developments in charlottesville. a lot of it has cleared out at this time. i walked around downtown area just a few moments ago, and it's mostly state and local police at this point. so not much going on right now. michael, this has been brewing as an issue for a long time, but were people there really expecting violence like this? i don't think people were expecting violence like this. people were definitely concerned, and afraid of what was going to happen, but i don't think anybody expected, you know, what happened today to actually happen, a car running through people in the downtown mall. in terms of the groups making up what we believe are white nationalists, what more do we know about them, in terms of where they have come from and what you know about them? to our understanding, they have come from all over the country. last night at the university of virginia, they met for a torch rally. we counted, or guessed, at least 700 were out there. there were several thousand people out there today, so it's hard to say exactly where they came from. now, we heard very strong words from governor mcauliffe. you know the local area very well. what do you think will happen in the coming hours and coming days? well, i know tomorrow there will be a lot of different events for people to kind of process what has happened. three people have died this weekend, one on the downtown mall, and two police officers, in a helicopter crash. so a lot of people are going to take time to think, regroup and reassess, and as the week goes on, it will be brought up several times, and i'm sure there will be plenty of opportunities for public input, and really the community coming together. can i pick up on the two police officers. do you know any more about that? sure, we were released information a little while ago, the names were released. i can pull up the e—mail now. the cause of the crash is still unknown. at this time, they are saying there's no foul play is suspected. but, as far as the names, they are both state police officers from virginia. that's really all we have at this moment in time. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... the chief of a hospital in the indian state of utar pradesh has been suspended in connection with the deaths of sixty four children in six days. many of the victims were newborn babies. there are allegations that oxygen shortages caused the deaths in the town of gorakpur, because suppliers‘ bills went unpaid. authorities deny this and have ordered an investigation. venezuelan opposition protesters are again on the streets of caracas. the government has described comments by president trump about military options against venezuela as a "reckless threat", aiming to drag latin america and the caribbean into conflict. the aid agency, msf, says it's suspending the deployment of its largest migrant rescue ship in the mediterranean. the charity has blamed the decision on libya for imposing new access restrictions on large stretches of its coastal waters that traffickers use to smuggle migrants to europe. msf said it would now assist another rescue team instead. spain is the latest country to be affected by the scare about eggs contaminated with insecticide. liquid eggs tainted with fipronil were found at a food company, but had not yet been used, according to health authorities in the basque region. when eaten in large quantities, the chemical can harm people's kidneys, liver and thyroid glands. an explosion in the pakistani city of quetta has killed at least fifteen people and left forty others injured. authorities believe a security forces vehicle was targeted. the so—called islamic state group has claimed responsibility for the attack. laura westbrook reports. flames engulf a crowded market in the city of quetta. the aftermath of a suicide attack. the bomb rammed a motorcycle into a military truck which set fire to nearby vehicles. the local bomb disposal squad said at least 25 kilos of explosives was used. translation: a vehicle belonging to our security forces was targeted. according to the information we have received so far there are around 15 casualties. dozens of the injured were brought to hospital. the attack happened when people were out celebrating the 70th anniversary of pakistan's independence. is said they carried out the attack. security forces have been targeted by both separatists and various islamist factions for decades. but a series of attacks late last year, like this one on a police training college that killed 61 cadets, has raised concerns about a growing militant presence. laura westbrook, bbc news. the pakistani politician, imran khan, says the situation between india and pakistan is "the worst it's ever been". speaking exclusively to the bbc as the two countries commemorate seventy years of partition, pakistan's opposition leader criticises india's prime minister, narendra modi, for his association with hindu extremists, and for letting down muslims in india. india has a prime minister who has not risen above what we... ..his communal thinking, his association with extremists, his background where there was this massacre, in gujarat, of muslims when he was the chief minister. somehow we expected that when narendra modi would became the prime minister he would rise above this but i have to say we are all so disappointed because narendra modi has not just disappointed pakistanis, he's disappointed muslims in india, he's disppointed all the liberal section in india which... ..which enjoyed the fact that india had this multicultural society. he's taken india to a society where a lot of people, when i was growing up, used to say, they were worried that in india they would not be treated properly, they would not be treated as equal citizens. narendra modi has taken india right there. where my parents‘ generation used to fear that the reason there needs to be a partition is because muslims would not be treated fairly in india and that is what narendra modi has proved. next week, we'll have a special coverage to mark 70 years of partition and the independence of india and pakistan here on bbc news. and you can get more information on the dedicated partition page on our website. stay with us on bbc news — still to come... glory for the british quartet at the world athletics championships in london, but usain bolt‘s final race before retiring ends in disaster. the big crowds became bigger as the time of the funeral approached. as the lines of fans became longer, the police prepared for a hugejob of crowd control. idi amin, uganda's brutalformer dictator, has died at the age of 80. he's been buried in saudi arabia, where he lived in exile since being overthrown in 1979. two billion people around the world have seen the last total eclipse of the sun to take place in this millenium. it began itsjourney off the coast of canada, ending three hours later when the sun set over the bay of bengal. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: one person has died after a car was driven into a crowd in the us state of virginia during clashes between white nationalists and anti—racist protestors. an explosion in the pakistani city of quetta has left at least fifteen people dead and thirty others injured. the kenyan human rights commission has blamed police for using excessive force on protestors after results of the presidential election were announced. they claim 2a people have died in election—related violence since tuesday. leaders of the opposition have appealed for calm, but say they still don't recognise the outcome of the election. alistair leithead reports. after a night of violence, the ambulances brought out the injured from the worst—hit neighbourhoods. some had bullet wounds, others machete cuts and head injuries. it is hard to know how many people have been killed or injured in the police crackdown in these opposition strongholds. the clashes continued throughout the day, rock—throwing youths confronting tear gas—firing police. they‘ re dramatic images, and they were intense, but this was largely contained to small areas. well, there have certainly been violent clashes. we've seen people who have been killed and injured. but it is very much just back and forth between local youths and these special units you can see, who are quite well—armed. much of what was fired was tear gas, but there is plenty of evidence live bullets were used. monica atieno lost her nephew, thomas, this morning. i heard that he was shot dead by the police officers. was it a bullet wound in his body? yes, there is a wound, a bullet wound in the chest. kenya's human rights commission said the police were using excessive force, despite a denial from the government. people who break into shops are not peaceful protesters. so you cannot say the police used live bullets on peaceful protesters. it is not true. the opposition national super alliance again rejected what they called a sham election, but theirsenior leaders were absent. stealing elections with impunity, in every five years, must come to an end. this is nothing like the level of anger or violence that sparked the killings ten years ago, but it is a test of leadership over the angry opposition supporters and overzealous police, and it is a test for kenyan democracy. alistair leithead, bbc news, nairobi. china's president xijinping has urged donald trump and north korea to avoid "words and actions" that could worsen their political stand—off. chinese state media says mr xi made the plea to mr trump in a phone call. in the past week, pyongyang and washington have been exchanging increasingly angry threats. from seoul, robin brant sent this report. president trump has threatened "fire and fury." his military, he says, is now "locked and loaded." but tonight, north korea is getting sound and music from its neighbours in the south. the message at this annual peace concert on the border perhaps a little louder, after a week of increasing tension. this is south korea's capital, just a few dozen miles away from that concert. the people here have long lived with the growing threat from the north. but... translation: i am worried about that, because the level of tension caused by trump's government is much higher than obama's government. translation: trump's policy offers me a comfortable life, because he puts heavy pressure on north korea. i feel comfortable. there are small signs, though, that they may be stepping up their preparedness. there are reports shoppers are buying more ready meals, and investors here are buying more gold. in just over a week's time, they will have a civil defence drill here in this city. the sirens will go off, people will be guided from above ground to metro stations or bomb shelters, to take cover from any possible aerial attack. it happens every year. last year, just a handful of districts in seoul took part. but apparently, this year, everyone is taking part. this relationship remains key to finding a solution. china's president, xijinping, has a crucial role if there is to be peace. but, in a phone call, he told mr trump that all relevant parties, him included, should stop exacerbating the situation. this is part of a reason for that: it is a threat america cannot tolerate. mr trump called guam's governor to say this: this is between you and i, but you don't talk like they talk, and you can't do that. you can't do that to people like us. across the sea, injapan, they are preparing missiles, but these are for defence. japanese military transporters have been moved to places where they could intercept any north korean launch. robin brant, bbc news, seoul. seven members of the white helmets in syria — the emergency service in rebel areas — have been buried after they were shot dead at one of their centres. the attack happened in the early hours of saturday in the town of sarmin, nine kilometres east of the city of idlib. their bodies were discovered when volunteers arrived to start a shift. sebastian usher reports. the white helmets have lost many of their rescue workers in bomb blasts and gunfire, but this is the first time so many have been killed in cold blood. they were shot in the head as they worked the night shift. as the seven were being buried in the fields outside sarmin, a host of tributes were being paid to them online. the head of the white helmets posted the group's symbol stained with blood. others uploaded video of a man in tears after he rescued a child after an air strike. the white helmets have been celebrated as heroes by many. they have been nominated for the nobel peace prize, and their exploits documented in an oscar—winning film. but not everyone sees the group as whiter than white. they have been attacked as frauds, a western—backed pr stunt, and far too close for comfort tojihadists fighters. the group acknowledges that it receives a financial backing from the west, that some of its members were once fighters, and that, by necessity, they can only work in rebel—held areas. now it is unclear why seven of its members were killed, but the deaths bring another bleak and brutal twist to the syrian conflict. gay rights activists have been assaulted after taking part in a pride event in russia. dozens of people held flags and banners in a peaceful parade in a park in st petersburg. while leaving the event a number of the activists were targeted with pepper spray by unidentified men. at least one of the victims was treated in hospital. a danish inventor, who designed the world's biggest privately—built submarine, has been detained on suspicion of manslaughter. the 46—year—old denies killing a swedishjournalist who had been travelling with him. 30—year—old kim vall was last seen on the submarine before it sank. our europe regional editor, danny aeberhard reports. kim wall and peter madsen, looking out from the home—built nautilus on thursday evening, as it leaves copenhagen. ms wall, apparently seen here, was the only passenger. that much is clear. what happened next is not. the freelance journalist's boyfriend reported her missing, and a huge search was launched. mr madsen was spotted by witnesses on friday, aboard the nautilus. but soon after, it sank — fast. it was located at a depth of seven metres, and efforts to recover it are underway. peter, are you ok? are you ok? mr madsen was rescued, reportedly as the sub went down, by a private boat. he said he was fine, although a little sad, seeing the nautilus go down. peter madsen had hit the headlines in 2008, when he managed to build the nearly—80—metre—long vessel using online crowdfunding. he was arrested when he returned to shore. the inventor says he dropped ms wall off on one of copenhagen‘s islands on thursday night. police are examining cctv footage to try to verify this. he has appeared in court in a closed hearing. prosecutors said it was needed to shield relatives from emerging details, and to give space for the ongoing police investigation, one that could have stepped from the pages of even the most imaginative danish crime thriller. there was disappointment at the world athletics championships in london for the man considered by many to be the greatest sprinter of all time —jamaica's usain bolt. he failed to finish in the men's 100 metre relay, which was eventually won by great britain. also leaving the track for good was britain's mo farah in the 5000 metres. parvin kumar ramchurn rounds up the action. in a career decorated in glory, there wasn't a golden ending for usain bolt in the 100m relay. the 30—year—old jamaican and eight—time olympic gold medallist pulled up injured in the men's relay final, whilst running the final leg forjamaica. the race unexpectedly won by great britain, much to the excitement of the home crowd in london. the united states finished second, with japan taking an excellent bronze medal. meanwhile, in the women's100m relay, there was gold for the united states, with the british team taking silver in a close and exciting race. one of the greatest distance runners of all time, britain's mo farah, also bowed out of track competition at a major championship. the home favourite had been hoping to complete an historic double in the 5,000m, after already securing gold in the 10,000m. however, the british athlete was pushed into second place by ethiopian muktar edris. farah, a four—time olympic gold medallist, will now concentrate on the marathon. in the women's100m hurdles, there was a triumphant return to london for former olympic champion sally pearson. after two years plagued by injury, the australian produced a time of 12.59 seconds to finish first. and, in the men's decathlon, french athlete kevin mayer emerged with the gold medal. the 25—year—old, who finished second at the rio olympics last year, finished on 8,768 points. parvin kumar ramchurn, bbc news. people in dagestan have been fighting off an invasion of locusts. swarms of the pests have destroyed thousands of hectares of farmland. the insects can consume their own body weight in vegetation every day. some locals use loud noises to scare away the pests banging pots and pans and removing mufflers from cars. apologies if you were eating during the stories. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @duncangolestani. thank you very much for watching. goodbye for now. —— apologies if you were eating during that story. good morning. well, despite a few nuisance showers across north—east england, for many of us, saturday was a promising day. and a ridge of high pressure continues to build through the night, so clear skies here, withjust a little bit more in the way of cloud across the essex and kent coasts, with the legacy of those saturday showers. but, generally speaking, it is quiet start to sunday. it will be a chilly one, not necessarily in towns and city centres, but in rural spots, expect low single figures to greet you first thing this morning. but there will be a light breeze, and with those clear skies comes lots of pleasant sunshine. so not a bad start to the day. as we go through the afternoon, cloud will start to bubble up, and we'll see a few isolated showers, but hopefully they'll be few and far between. favoured spots likely across scotland and northern ireland. if you dodge the showers, with light winds, 17 or 18 degrees will feel quite pleasant. certainly a better day through the borders, north—east england, down into lincolnshire, in comparison to yesterday. fine, dry and sunny. yes, the risk of an isolated shower further west, into wales and south—west england. but again, you'll be unlikely to catch those, so highs of 19 to 20 degrees here, and low 20s quite possibly, again if we get the sunshine continuing. so, if you're heading off for the final day of the world athletics championships, whether it is the morning or the evening session, perfect weather conditions for those spectators, and for the athletes. and a similar story, as well, for the premiership matches taking place today. very nice indeed, largely dry here. now, as we move out of sunday, into monday, a change to come. a weather front moves in from the west. it'll bring the heaviest of the rain through scotland, in particular, and north—west england. light and patchy into northern ireland, wales and south—west england. the best of the sunshine, really, through east anglia, the east midlands, down into the south—east corner. here, we could see highest values around 22 or 23. but, even in the cloud and the rain, we're looking at around 15 to 19 degrees. so once the rain clears through and the brightness returns, not too bad an affair. that front will still clear away. it is not going to bring that much in the way of persistent rain across the east, but it will do so through tuesday night, into the start of the day. so on tuesday it looks as though we'll see a scattering of showers, but not a bad affair. 17 to 23 degrees the overall high. that front still to clear away, and then another waits in the wings for wednesday. but, ahead of it, it stays relatively quiet, so not a bad day on wednesday. it will cloud over from the west with that rain arriving, but that is going to be the story this week. there will be some spells of sunshine from time to time, but also, we can't rule out spells of rain. this is bbc news, the headlines: one person has died and at least

one hundred days. let's get your weather now. you are watching bbc news. it's an revolution read mystery that's battled the experts the years, how can the fossil of a dinosaur comprise body parts of both meat eaters and herbivores. that puzzle may have been solved after scientists said they believe the so—called "frankenstein dinosaur", could provide the missing link between carnivores and herbivores. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh explains. in the mountains of chile, researchers discover a dinosaur, the like of which has never been seen before. back in their lab in buenos aires, they carefully cut through the sandstone to find a bizarre skeleton. they named their dinosaur chilesaurus. this animal had a real mix of features from different groups of dinosaurs. it's hip bones were like those of plant eaters such as the stegosaurus. and its arms and body were like those of meat eaters such as the tyrannosaurus rex. and so, chilesaurus became known as the frankenstein dinosaur. but now a british researcher who studied the skeleton believes he has solved the mystery. chilesa

hello and welcome to bbc news. my name is gavin grey. spain's interior minister says the terror cell behind the attacks there this week has been broken up. officials believe the cell consisted of 12 young men, most of them moroccan nationals. one man, younes abouyaaqoub, is still at large. police searching for him say they believe he may have been the driver of the van which mowed down so many people on thursday in barcelona, killing 13 and injuring 130. from there, james reynolds reports. the king of spain, determined to show that barcelona has nothing to fear. symbols of rule from the capital, madrid, are not always welcome in this, the catalan region, but in the aftermath of thursday's attack, felipe vi is met with cheers. this footage from a museum security camera appears to show part of the assault on las ramblas. the attackers‘ van tears down the avenue. passers—by run for their lives. the authorities say that they have now broken up the network responsible for the attacks in both barcelona and the coastal town of cambrils. at first investigators believed that one of t

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm duncan golestani. our top stories: a gun battle on the streets of burkina faso, after suspected jihadists target an hotel and restaurant. america's top general prepares to meet south korea's president, as the north says it has the right to develop nuclear weapons to defend itself. the white house defends president trump's response to the attack on anti—racism protestors in virginia. and protests against plans to build a road through a bolivian national park. we start with a developing story this hour: security forces in burkina faso have sealed off the centre of the capital, ouagadougou, after suspected jihadists opened fire in a busy street. the government are calling it a terrorist attack. these are the latest pictures. the country's communications minister says that, provisionally, 17 people have been killed and eight others injured. reports say a hotel and popular turkish restaurant appear to have been targeted. witnesses were quoted as saying that three gunmen opened fire on customers seated outside the hotel and the restaurant. the city centre has been sealed off by the army, and the us embassy in ouagadougou has warned its citizens to avoid the area. a bbc correspondent in the region said there are fears the attack is the work of one of the affiliates of al-qaeda that are active in the sahel region. a jihadist attack on a cafe nearby left 30 people dead in january last year. we are keeping across that story and we will bring you any developments as we get them. north korea has said it has the right to have nuclear weapons for what it calls a legitimate self—defence measure for its survival, from the vigor of the united states. the statement comes as the head of the us military is getting ready for talks on north korea's nuclear and missile threats. generaljoseph dunford is in seoul to meet president moonjae—in and south korea's defence minister. afterwards, he will go on to china and japan. the bbc‘s richard galpin reports. on the pacific island of guam, people turned out in large numbers on sunday to pray for peace. they are now potentially in the firing line, as the stand—off between the united states and north korea continues. pyongyang has threatened to fire missiles toward this island, which is home to major us military bases. we are here to pray for the leaders of those countries to be able to remain calm, and to think about the people, and the lives of the people that we have here. in japan, anti—aircraft systems were deployed at the weekend to shoot down any north korean missiles aimed at guam. this area of southern japan would lie on the flight path. this is the most serious crisis in the region since the end of the korean war, in the 1950s, according to some military experts. there is a real risk, by miscalculation probably more than anything else, and by rather unbalanced rhetoric, of something happening that no—one intends. and i think it is extremely dangerous — very, very dangerous indeed. i think we're closer to there being some sort of fighting in the korean peninsula than we have been since the ceasefire in 1952. despite this, us president donald trump is not toning down his rhetoric, particularly his recent statement that the us military was locked and loaded. i hope that they are going to fully understand the gravity of what i said, and what i said is what i mean. so hopefully they'll understand, peter, exactly what i said, and the meaning of those words. those words are very, very easy to understand. on monday, the united states‘ most senior general, joseph dunford, will be in the south korean capital, seoul, for meetings with the government there. the americans say there is no imminent threat of conflict, and the diplomatic track is continuing. but tensions are likely to rise even higher in a week's time, when yet more planned military exercises involving the us and south korean armed forces take place in the region. another show of force to try to convince north korea to halt its nuclear weapons programme. our correspondent in seoul, robin brant, gave me this update on the latest comments from north korea. well, these are words that emerged in the state—run newsagency in the last hour or so. and this is addressing what they refer to as their nuclear possessions. now, they say the nuclear capability that north korea has, and the vast majority of the intelligence assessments says they do now have nuclear capabilities. they say it is a legitimate form of self defence. now, that is often the rationale behind the justification for having nuclear weapons used by nuclear powers across the world. it is a deterrent. that is the logic we are hearing from north korea in this most recent of announcements. so fairly mild words. i think perhaps tomorrow, tuesday, liberation day in the north, we may hear more of that bellicose rhetoric from kim jong—un, north korea's leader. liberation day is one of those days throughout the year when we get state m e nts or shows of strength from the north. now, general dunford is heading your way. what will seoul want from him? do you think they are in lockstep in their policy on north korea? they are in lockstep according to military readiness. general dunford comes here to have meetings, notjust with the president, president moon, but also this country's minister of defence. in terms of the military approach, it is clear that they stand together and are ready for swift action, which was the phrase we heard over the past

the unite the right rally. it was the biggest gathering of white nationalist groups in america for decades. a 20—year—old man has now been charged with murder, after a car was driven into a woman who was part of a counter—demonstration. laura bicker reports from charlottesville. after a violent day of division, charlottesville has come together to pray, to show that this city condemns the hate brought here by neo—nazis and white supremacists. the virginia governor went from row to row, hugging worshippers in this baptist church. he promised to keep politics out of the pulpit, but there was a message he felt he had to give. it is about politics in that the political rhetoric in this country today has breeded bigotry. hundreds of white supremacists gathered in the city for a planned rally. brawling broke out as far—right groups, including the ku klux klan, were challenged by civil rights activists. the police dispersed the crowds, but the day would not end peacefully. a car, at speed, rammed into protesters. the crash killed 32—year—old heather heyer, who had fought racism all her life. police have charged 20—year—old james fields with second—degree murder. one of the organisers of the far—right rally tried to hold a press conference. he was heckled, almost drowned out. i would like to condemn any of the violence that happened yesterday. i disavow anything that led to folks getting hurt. crowd: shame, shame, shame... as the crowd shouted him down, he tried to leave, but instead he was forced to flee. police moved in to keep the protesters back. these people feel that bigotry has no place in the streets of charlottesville. but this could be any town, any city across america. it is an example of the simmering racial tension, and that has become heightened under president trump. the president stopped short of explicitly condemning the alt—right for these violent scenes, and some fear that having donald trump in the white house has emboldened white supremacists. it is important for us to call these people what they are — white supremacists. i don't understand why that is so difficult. that is what they are. they're not hiding this behind the statue. they didn't come here because of a statue. they came here because, just as david duke said yesterday, to fulfil the promise of president trump, and take their country back. calm has been restored for now, giving the city time to remember those who lost their lives while challenging hate and trying to keep the peace. laura bicker, charlottesville. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news: scientists at israel's dimona top secret nuclear research centre have condemned the cabinets decision to get them to end a long—running partial strike. the cabinet said

to solve the crisis in venezuela. mike pence said a peaceful solution is possible, but the country is currently on a path to dictatorship. mr pence is in colombia at the beginning of a regional tour.

but once again people are being asked to show their support for the government or opposition, this time by deciding whether show up for work or stay home. while the official figures show that raila 0dinga lost the election by 9%, he is calling for people to boycott theirjobs on monday. the government says the authorities will not allow a descent into chaos. from nairobi, alastair leithead reports. all chant: no peace! they believe the election was stolen, and they have taken to the streets. 0pposition presidential candidate raila 0dinga toured his strongholds in the capital, the first time he has appeared in public since losing the election. he urged his supporters not to accept the result. "they knew they would be defeated, and would have to steal," he told the crowd. "that's why they've come to kill innocent people, shoot them, put them in body bags and take them away." dozens have been injured and some people killed this weekend, in clashes with police. well, the question was whether or not the opposition were going to accept the results of the election. it is pretty clear now that they are not. they're calling for mass action, and for people to reject this result. but it won't be national. these are small pockets of protest. much of the country has accepted the result. i therefore wish to declare for uhuru kenyatta... president uhuru kenyatta was declared winner on friday night, beating his old rival by a wide margin, and now has a second term in office. international observers declared the process broadly free and fair, and the election commission dismissed claims the ballot was hacked or rigged. in a place with a history of ethnic post—election violence, tension levels have been raised again. the opposition leader has done little to urge peace, and is now taking his election challenge to the streets. alastair leithead, bbc news, nairobi. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: it is 70 years since pakistan's creation, but what do people think of the founding father's vision of the nation, as they celebrate their country's emergence as a sovereign state?

what are the north koreans after? what will they sit tight for? how can we advance stability in north korea at a time where the stakes are extremely high? in terms of the perspective in the other direction, you've been to north korea many times, do you think we're dealing here with a leadership that is rational in terms of what it wants? do they have a strategy? i think they do. i think kimjong—un is a very bright, risk—taking young man. i think he is someone we need to treat with care and respect. i think he's proven his mettle quite well. i think we need to be very careful, very calm, cool and collected and stop raising the temperatures and sort of saying things off the top of our head that can be taken as indicating we are not satisfied with a civil relationship and that we are worried about things that would exploit the military solution. bolivia's president has formally enacted a law stripping a national park of its protected status in order to allow a new highway to be built through it. the highway plan was cancelled six years ago following a national march by indigenous people. however, president morales, who is also of indigenous heritage, has accused his critics of colonial attitudes. celebrations from at least some of bolivia's indigenous peoples. but this occasion has provoked political fireworks in those same communities. at the rally in the city of trinidad, president evo morales signed into effect a law intended to allow development in a national park, created over 50 years ago, to protect the rights of indigenous peoples. the new law's been condemned by environmental activists but the president dismissed their objections. translation: this so-called colonial environmentalism isn't interested in the indigenous movement having schools, hospitals, they‘ re not interested in the indigenous movement having electricity or that we have highways. the government wants to build a highway nearly 180 kilometres long right through the park. it says the vast majority of indigenous peoples support the plan, but their are plenty who still oppose it. translation: president morales is enacting a law that will bury indigenous peoples and the country's heritage. he's driving a dagger into bolivians because he is destroying the heritage that belongs to bolivia. campaigners have pledged to take the case to the constitutional tribunal. they may also repeat a march on the capital that helped defeat a similar plan six years ago. bolivia's battle between environment and development is farfrom over. bill hayton, bbc news. investigators in denmark say the submarine on which a missing journalist was last seen was sunk deliberately. police are still questioning the designer and owner of the vessel who managed to escape. he originally claimed he dropped off swedish journalist kim wall hours earlier. danny aberhard has more. investigators have begun scouring the nautilus. they're looking for clues to help solve the mystery about what might have happened aboard on thursday night. kim wall, a freelance journalist whose work has been published internationally, hasn't been seen or heard from since. the sub was raised off the sea bed on saturday. it was brought to land overnight where it was partially drained. no—one, either dead or alive, was found inside, but forensic specialists will continue their work. after he was arrested on friday, peter madsen said he had dropped ms wall off on one of copenhagen's islands on thursday night. a police spokesman said he had now given a different explanation of what happened during the voyage. the spokesman wouldn't elaborate. he also cast doubt on his account that the nautilus sank when he was trying to repair an issue with the tanks that are used for ballast. he told journalists that the submarine had apparently been sunk deliberately. meanwhile, the search for mrs wall or her body continues. danny aeberhard, bbc news. 70 years ago pakistan came into existence. british colonial rule ended and partition split what had been india into two nations. as pakistan celebrates independence, reeta chakrabarti has been to the city of karachi, the first capital of independent pakistan and birthplace of the country's founding father, mohammed jinnah. it's pakistan's birthday, and at every street corner there are flags and celebration. but its 70 years have been mixed. it was founded as a democracy but has had military rule and people have argued whether its founder, mohammedjinnah, wanted a secular state or an islamic one. i went to one of karachi's universities to ask students what they think ofjinnah and pakistan today. mohammed jinnah, his name is the biggest in pakistan. and even every nation of the world. he is like a father. he is the father of the nation. he created pakistan. do you thinkjinnah would be happy with pakistan as it is today? he would be happy. he would be happy to see pakistan progressing every day, every day, every second. on this 70th anniversary of independence, the country is doing well, it is flourishing every day. i hope it will prosper more every day. mansour, do you think thatjinnah would be happy as it is today? he would see the basic needs of the people, the basic needs of the people are not fulfilling right now. much of the problem lies in the religion. because people nowadays, they have... they're not tolerant. i mean, they're too much emotional. crowds come tojinnah's mausoleum to pay their respects. the country he founded was rocked again last month when the prime minister was forced to resign over corruption charges. finding political stability seems to be one of pakistan's biggest challenges. reeta chakra barti, bbc news, karachi. we will have a special feature series on bbc news about the partition of india. you can go to this website to find personal stories from people who went through partition and interactive timeline to explain why it happened 70 years ago. —— an. a reminder of our breaking story this hour. security forces in burkina faso have sealed off the centre of the capital after suspected jihadists open fire in a busy street. the government are calling it a terrorist attack. the country's communications minister said provisionally 17 have been killed, injured and set eight injured. reports say a hotel and popular turkish restaurant appeared to have been targeted. reports are they open fire on customers. for now, thank you for watching bbc world news. good morning. last week, the weather was pretty changeable, wasn't it? this week, it's more of the same i'm afraid. in fact, if we take a look back at last week, parts of eastern england had over 60 millimetres of rain. that's pretty close to a month's worth in just a 36—hour period. and certainly the south—east has been the wettest of the weather. pretty much close to normal at the moment so far this august in scotland and northern ireland. in fact, last week we had some decent spells of sunshine in western scotland. on wednesday, as you can see, a beautiful weather watchers picture sent in, there was over 13.5 hours of sunshine and a high of 21 degrees in glasgow. but generally speaking last week the jetstream was to the south. so we were on the colder side of the jetstream and the more unsettled one for some. through the weekend, though, the jetstream moved steadily north. that allowed for decent spells of sunshine for many of us and also some warmth, particularly along the kent coast, with temperatures in the mid—20s. but it has all changed as we move through monday, with wet and windy weather pushing in. the heaviest of the rain will always be across scotland through the morning. it'll be fairly ragged as it moves through wales and south—west england. but in the south—east, we keep the dry, sunny weather, and the warmth. 2a degrees not out of the question again in the london area, but that rain will pep up over south—west england and wales overnight. not too much in the south—east corner, but some rain to clear overnight on monday into tuesday. it will do so then we have a showery regime with these weather fronts sitting across the country. some of the showers will be potentially heavy and thundery as well. but if you dodge the showers, it won't feel too bad. we could see highs of 2a degrees. a little bit cooler and fresher with some showers to the north—west. a brief ridge of high pressure builds for us before a change is sitting in the wings waiting for us for wednesday. 0n the whole, wednesday looks promising on the whole, particularly in sheltered eastern areas. eventually, winds will strengthen with the rain pushing on. so the south—east will see the highest values. out to the west, a little more disappointing. then from wednesday night into thursday, we will see wet and windy weather pushing across the country. gales on the exposed coast in particular. this week, starting with sun and warmth, but then heavy showers, but feeling cooler later on. this is bbc news. the headlines: security forces in burkina faso have sealed off the centre of the capital, 0uagadougou, after suspected jihadists opened fire in a busy street. 17 people have reportedly been killed, and eight others injured. reports say a hotel and popular turkish restaurant appear to have been targeted. as the head of the us military prepares for talks on north korea's nuclear and missile threats in south korea, pyongyang says it has the right to have nuclear weapons for what it calls a legitimate self—defence measure for its survival from the vigor of the united states. a day after violence erupted in charlottesville, the virginia state governor is trying to defuse the tension. governor terry mcauliffe denounced the people who attended the unite the right rally. it was the biggest gathering of white nationalist groups in america for decades. now on bbc news, it's hardtalk, and another chance to see stephen sackur‘s interview with the screenwriter

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. i'm mike embley. our top stories: the governor of texas warns the worst is not over from the devastation triggered by tropical storm harvey. there will be ongoing challenges while the rain is falling and up to a week from now. president trump says talking to north korea is not the answer. so, what comes next in this international stand—off? the brother of the manchester bomber is to go on trial in libya in connection with the attack in may which killed 22 people. and 20 years on from the death of their mother, princes william and harry make a poignant appearance at a memorial garden dedicated to diana. hello. the governor of texas says the worst is not overfor some parts of the state, as torrential rain continues to fall in the wake of tropical storm harvey. the flooding has forced a number of oil and gas refineries to shut down, affecting almost a quarter of america's fuel output. at least 20 people are known to have died. the storm has now moved on to neighbouring louisiana. from houston, james c

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name's mike embley. our top stories: ramping up the rhetoric. north korea announces what it calls a serious plan to target guam, as the us defence secretary says pyongyang's actions could result in the destruction of its people. kenya's electoral commission dismisses accusations its computer system was hacked. the opposition rejects the provisional results favouring president kenyatta. the captain of mexico's national football team is sanctioned by the us, and accused of ties to a drug—trafficking cartel. two months after the grenfell tower fire in west london, officials say hundreds of people need mental health support. president trump has again used threatening language against north korea, telling the leadership in pyongyang america's nuclear arsenal is "more powerful than ever before". he was responding to north korea's threat that it's considering a plan to fire four missiles at the us pacific territory of guam, where there are two american military bases. the us defence secretary has said kim jong—un should stop any actions that would lead to the destruction of his people. our north america correspondent, nick bryant, reports. a far—off american outpost in the tropical waters of the western pacific now finds itself at the centre of a dangerous stand—off. this is guam, the site this summer of us military exercises, american territory that north korea says could now be in the firing line. from north korean state tv came this chilling headline, that guam could be targeted by medium to long—range rockets. and it came just hours after president trump threatened pyongyang with some of the most incendiary rhetoric used by a us president in decades. the words improvised. the tone agreed upon beforehand with aides. north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. and more tough talk on twitter this morning. on a refuelling stop—over in guam, the us secretary of state, rex tillerson, used more soothing language. "the island faced no imminent threat," he said, "and americans shouldn't lose any sleep." what the president is doing is sending a strong message to north korea in language that kim jong—un would understand, because he doesn't seem to understand diplomatic language. this small island is more than 2,000 miles away from pyongyang, but well within range of its missiles. with two military bases, it's a strategic military hub for america in the pacific, and the home to 160,000 people. i guess the first thing that comes to mind is, immediately, first, where is my family? to come up with a plan about if anything happens. i think the response that president trump has presented is pretty much spot on. past administrations have just let it slide and kicked the can down the road, so now north korea feels like they can get away with anything. donald trump has vowed that he will be the president who deals decisively with the north korean problem. with the rhetoric already at such a perilous pitch, there's the danger that both sides become captive to their own tough words, that they talk themselves into a more serious confrontation. nick bryant, bbc news, washington. earlier i spoke to our correspondents yogita lamaye in seoul, the south korean capital, and laura bicker in washington dc. yogita began with the latest from seoul. a national security council has been scheduled for later today where the president as well as other people from the defence minister here will be discussing the situation and the increasing rhetoric from both the us and north korea. north korea meanwhile has sent out another statement this morning through their official news agency where they have given more details about the plan to attack guam, they say they will fire four rockets at the waters near guam, which will pass overjapan. what they've also said about donald trump is that this is a man who is bereft of reason and only absolute force can have any effect. so they're giving more details of that plan but it's important to note the wording. they've said they're carefully examining examining the plan and they will present it to kim jong—un and they have given a timeline, they say they will present the plan by mid august and only if he gives the go—ahead will they execute the plan. laura in washington, more tough talk from there but also rather mixed messages. what is the next most likely step as far as you can tell from your contacts? there was a suggestion certainly in the us media that donald trump's comments about fire and fury and unleashing that north korea if there was a threat to the us may have been off—the—cuff, but what we're hearing from this administration is that they are going to be tough and they're going to keep up that strong message. you mention the comments of general james mattis, the defence secretary, he's basically saying to kim jong—un, you are outmatched, you are outgunned, your regime will be destroyed if you continue to threaten the united states. now, this does one thing on it appeals to kim jong—un's sense of self—preservation. remember, there's a reason why his borders are so closed. he wants to keep his regime intact. it also appeals to china, it puts the pressure on china. we want stable borders, they don't want an unstable pyongyang. so when it comes to putting that kind of pressure on, the hope is china will put the screws on kim jong—un and stop him developing or firing of another weapon. but as my colleague nick bryant alluded to there, this is also boxing in the trump administration, having drawn that red line and made that threat, if north korea fires another missile, do they have to react? that's the question now. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the united nations says 50 african migrants have been deliberately drowned by people smugglers off the coast of yemen. the international organisation for migration says they were among 120 migrants that were forced off a boat into rough seas on wednesday. most of those on the boat were young somali and ethiopian people hoping to reach countries in the gulf. it's emerged that fbi agents seized documents and other material from the home of president trump's former campaign manager, paul manafort, two weeks ago. the raid, authorised by a search warrant, was carried out the day after mr manafort met members of the senate intelligence committee, as part of the investigation into alleged russian interference in last year's presidential election. the us has expelled two cu ban diplomats. it comes following claims a sonic device was used to damage the hearing of some us embassy staff in havana. cuba's foreign ministry denies the accusation, and says it's willing to cooperate with washington. the state department confirmed that its diplomats had returned after suffering a variety of physical symptoms. kenya's electoral commission has denied opposition claims its it system was hacked in order to manipulate tuesday's election results. raila 0dinga, the main opposition candidate. had rejected the provisional results which indicated a strong lead for president uhuru kenyatta. the former us secretary of statejohn kerry, a foreign election observer, asked all sides to be patient. sarah corker reports. there have been calls for calm in kenya after the opposition alleged the electoral results had been hacked. veteran opposition leader raila 0dinga called the results fake. he believes they've been altered on the electoral commission's it system. he said the hackers used the identity of a top it official to gain access. he was murdered last week. over 12 hours this attack on our democracy affected the presidential elections in all the 47 counties. what the iebc has posted on the results of the presidential elections is a complete fraud. provisional results put president uhuru kenyatta comfortably in the lead. he hasn't commented on the claims, but posted this picture on facebook. but allegations of vote rigging led to isolated protests and violence in opposition strongholds in the western city of kisumu and the slum areas of nairobi. kenya's election chief, though, said no hacking took place and the vote wasn't compromised. there was no external influence on the system at any point before, during and after the voting. the high profile of this election is in part due to the fear the closeness of the vote could lead to violence, as happened ten years ago. the former us secretary of statejohn kerry, part of the foreign monitors team, appealed for calm. people need to be patient and let this process work through and not jump to conclusions at this point in time. and so in the coming days until the electoral commission verifies the final result, canyons face an anxious wait. sarah corker, bbc news. the captain of mexico's national football team has been sanctioned by the us authorities, accused of connections to a drug—trafficking cartel. rafa marquez won't be able to travel to the us and his american bank accounts and assets will be frozen. earlier i asked the bbc‘s juan paullier about the public‘s response to the allegations. this has been without any doubt a massive shock to our country, certainly. we are used to narco—related stories, but this is the first time such high—profile personalities are being directly accused of having links with drug cartels. rafa marquez is among a list of 21 people sanctioned by the us treasury department. rafa marquez is a national hero. he is the most—loved footballer in a country where football is a religion. not only he has won two champions leagues with barcelona, but he was hoping — i say he was, maybe he still is — he was hoping to become next year the first one to captain the national team at five world cups. as you were saying, the immediate consequence for him, his visa is going to be cancelled, his assets and bank accounts in the us are going to be frozen. but the damage to his reputation may be much bigger. until today, he was admired in this country, but his foundation and football academy are among his companies sanctioned by the us government. right now, i don't see how they can still attract people, money and resources to these organisations after this. six french soldiers have been injured, two of them seriously, after a car rammed into the group before speeding off in a paris suburb. prosecutors say they believe the intention was to kill. counter terrorism police later shot and then arrested a suspect on a motorway north of the capital. from paris, jonny dymond reports. paramedics swarm around injured soldiers, just moments after a car ploughed into a military patrol. six soldiers were injured, three seriously, after the car, waiting for the men, accelerated sharply and knocked them down. residents looked on as the emergency services went to work. "it was a truly odious attack," said the neighbourhood mayor, "to target soldiers who were here to protect the french people." translation: i heard a loud noise and i looked out my window, i saw many people arriving. i saw the ambulance and the fire engine arriving and i didn't go out. after a morning of intense investigation, the operation here is beginning to wind down. this is a quiet suburb, some distance from the bright lights and tourist sights of the city. this morning's attack a reminder, if one were needed, that france must remain on guard. translation: it's a problem for us french people because we don't feel safe. even foreigners do not feel safe in france. it ended with a hail of gunfire, the suspect‘s car brought to a halt in northern france. this evening french media named the suspect has been named as hamou b, a 37—year—old algerian. the country's long struggle with terror continues. jonny dymond, bbc news, paris. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: new hope from trials of a pioneering therapy that could eventually slow the advance of type i diabetes. the big crowds became bigger as the time of the funeral approached. as the lines of fans became longer, the police prepared for a hugejob of crowd control. idi amin, uganda's brutalformer dictator, has died at the age of 80. he's been buried in saudi arabia, where he lived in exile since being overthrown in 1979. two billion people around the world have seen the last total eclipse of the sun to take place in this millennium. it began itsjourney off the coast of canada, ending three hours later when the sun set over the bay of bengal. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: north korea announces what it calls a specific plan to target guam as the us defence secretary says pyongyang's actions could result in the destruction of its people. kenya's electoral commission dismisseds accusations its computer system was hacked after the opposition rejected the provisional results favouring president kenyatta. let's get more on our top story now. earlier i spoke to benjamin young, a specialist in korean history from george washington university and also a contributor to the north korean news website nk news.org. he explained north korea's motivation. i think history is important when looking at the ideological goals. since 19118, when north korea was founded, they wanted to reunify the peninsula and we still need to think of north korea having that goal in mind and they are playing the long game, essentially you're not going to outdo north korea in terms of hyperbole. looking at the history of north korea and their view of the us, are they likely to back down? how do they see the united states? they see the united states as their eternal enemy and if you look at recent reports in the news, north korea is the one that is rejecting dialogue. they see themselves as having leverage over the united states right now with the news coming out that they have been able to miniaturise a nuclear warhead and they now have a very significant nuclear arsenal, they really have the upper hand over the united states. i don't think trump's fiery rhetoric is doing much good and it could actually turn into a very destructive war that could deeply impact millions and millions of people in east asia. assuming everyone thinks way is the worst outcome for everyone, what is the likely way forward here? the world accepts a future nuclear armed north korea? i think trump has three options. first option is to accept the reality of a nuclear north korea, and i don't think that is good because of kim jong—un‘s unpredictability, and that will most likely mean accepting north korea as a nuclear power involves signing a peace treaty and withdrawing us troops. that could essentially bolster kimjong—un into invading south korea. the second option is to carry out active and stringent secondary sanctions on north korea. those have never been tried because of the fear of a chinese reprisal, or third, the worst option, war. what is more likely? i think so far we have seen pressure from the trump administration but there's a fine line between pressure and all out war and i think he needs to carry out sanctions to the maximum effect, he needs to not be afraid of angering chinese companies and banks and he really needs to go after north korean front companies in russia and china. i think that carrying out secondary sanctions is a very viable option at this point, but i don't think trump's rhetoric this week has been beneficial and i'm glad to see some white house officials are pulling back trump from this rhetoric. i think tillerson has the tact and intellect are necessary for navigating this very complex situation and i don't think when trump goes off—the—cuff that it's very healthy or helpful. two months after the grenfell tower fire in west london, officials say hundreds of people, including large numbers children, are in need of mental health support to deal with the trauma of the disaster. an estimated 80 people were killed in the fire injune and the metropolitan police believe that there were around 255 survivors. our special correspondent lucy manning has been talking to one woman who lost five members of her family in the blaze. # you've got the words to change a nation # but you're biting your tongue # you've spent a lifetime stuck in silence # afraid you'll say something wrong...# she could certainly sing. 12—year—old firdaws hashim, a shy smile, as the audience join # so come on, come on. # come on, come on. # you've got a heart as loud as lightning. # so why let your voice be tamed...# her voice would be silenced by the grenfell fire. her aunt watches with tears the home videos she has shared. little yaqub, full of life, inside the grenfell flat where he would die, with his sister firdaws, his brother, mum and dad, his small body yet to be identified. six—year—old yaqub, firdaws, and 13—year—old ya hya loved to dance. their aunt wanted to read these tributes. firdaws, you were the most intelligent, wise... ..and eloquent girl i ever knew. you were so talented, but still so kind and humble. yahya, my most kind, handsome, pure—hearted, sweet nephew, you would have been a pride to islam and humanity. yaqub, he was a very energetic, lively boy. he loved to dance and joke around. asma wants to bury the family together. but, eight weeks on, there can be no funeral. waiting this long for them to be identified, and to bury them and have some type of closure, that is tormenting everybody. two months on, and those connected to grenfell still bear a terrible toll. the bbc has learnt more than 500 people have been referred for mental health assessments, nearly 100 of them children. i've been having panic attacks. i'm having trouble sleeping. and it's when... usually you have a support network that will help you get through these times, but a lot of these people that you would normal rely on are in the same trouble as you are. and, with only 1a grenfell families rehoused, the council leader still can't offer all the relief of long—term housing. how long will it be until all these families are permanently rehoused? i would say... well, it's quite difficult to answer that question, and let me explain why. i mean, a month, two months? it's not from lack of resources. it's not from lack of willingness. we're doing it as... absolutely as quickly as we can. the judge leading the grenfell inquiry will write to the prime minister this week to explain what it will cover. the family of these children want the inquiry to look at notjust how they died, but why the fire burned for so long, making identification so hard. lucy manning, bbc news, west london. the uk has one of the world's highest rates of type 1 diabetes, 400,000 people currently living with the condition. at the moment it's incurable. but now trials of a pioneering therapy are being carried out to try to slow the advance of the disease. the initial results show the treatment, a form of immunotherapy, is safe and can be used in wider trials. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. two years ago, alex rowlandson‘s life took an unexpected turn. she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, one of hundreds of thousands of people who develop the condition in the uk. but then she was offered the chance to take part in a pioneering new therapy. the results of which now show real promise. more optimistic knowing that the study is going well and that they can use that to find further treatments. even if it doesn't help me myself and it might help other people in the future, it's just good to know that i've made a difference. last year, alex was one of 27 volunteers who, over a six—month period, underwent a course of immunotherapy injections. the aim, to stop her diabetes by tapping into the immune system's natural checks and balances. type 1 diabetes is caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks specialist beta cells in the pancreas which produce insulin, the hormone which regulates blood sugar levels. the injections contain protein fragments designed to retrain the immune system, so that rather than attacking pancreatic cells, it protects them. the early results from this latest trial demonstrated the therapy was safe and showed signs of slowing the disease. i think it's exciting that we have been able to change the immune system in patients using this approach, but it's very early days and we need to know how that translates into benefit for patients in the future. this is the first time this particular technique of trying to train the immune system to slow the advance of type 1 diabetes has been used in humans. it's a very small step in what will be a very long process. but the fact that it's safe and seems to have helped the immune system, well that is a big step forward. there's currently no cure for a condition that, if not carefully managed, can have life—changing consequences. for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the number of people who, like alex, are having their lives turned upside down after developing type 1 diabetes, is on the rise. immunotherapy has begun to transform the treatment of other diseases, such as cancer. the question now, is diabetes next? dominic hughes, bbc news. more on that and all the news any time on the bbc website. you can reach me and most of the team on twitter. thank you for watching. hello there. much of the country was fine and dry, with some good sunny spells on wednesday. but it was atrocious across the south—east, cold and wet, like this weather watcher behind me depicts of central london. the rain's been slowly petering out, and as we start thursday morning, with largely clear skies and light winds, it's going to be a chilly one. temperatures out of town in single figures widely across the uk. maybe a little bit of mist and fog in places as well. that's because we've got a ridge of high pressure which will keep things largely fine and settled for thursday. this weather front which brought all the rain across the south—east on wednesday slowly clearing away. we've also got another weather system slowly approaching the far north—west of the uk. so that will introduce a little bit of thicker cloud, and also a few spots of light rain across the far north and north—west of scotland. but, away from here, for much of scotland it's going to be a fine and a dry morning with some sunshine. same too for northern ireland. temperatures around ten to 13 degrees to start the day. for england and wales, most places fine and dry. lots of sunshine around. for the south—east, a little bit of cloud. just one or two showers there in across kent, and quite a strong northerly breeze too, which will gradually ease down through the day. apart from a few heavy showers for kent and the very far south—east, most places will be dry into the afternoon, as well. the winds will be increasing for the north—east of scotland. temperature—wise, 17—20. much warmer across the south—east compared to wednesday. so a good—looking day for the world championships athletics in the london stadium. it's going to be dry with some sunshine, temperatures around 21 or 22 degrees. now, a fine end to the day as well for thursday. it looks like for england and wales, it is going to be another largely clear night, with light winds, so it is going to turn quite cool. but, for scotland and northern ireland, we will have an approaching weather system, so here turning wet and windy through the night, so here not quite as cool. so for friday, then, well, we've got this weather system across northern and western areas. a nice, fine start, though, for central, southern and eastern parts of england. but even here, conditions will go downhill through the course of the day. so the rain will be heavy across western scotland and north—west england. northern and western wales, it will slowly move its way eastwards, eventually reaching the south—east later on. top temperatures 16 to 22 celsius again across the south—east. looks like friday night could be quite a wet, blustery one as those weather systems clear away. and then as we head on towards the weekend, a big ridge of high pressure builds in. so it does mean for both saturday and sunday we're looking at a lot of fine and dry weather. a little bit of cloud here and there, but some good sunny spells. feeling fairly cool, though, at night. this is bbc news. the headlines: the united states and north korea have continued to exchange nuclear threats. north korea has announced what it calls a serious plan to target guam. the us defence secretary says pyongyang must stop its pursuit of nuclear weapons or face the end of its regime and the destruction of its people. kenya's electoral commission has dismissed accusations its computer system was hacked. the main opposition party has rejected provisional results which indicate a strong lead for president uhuru kenyatta. international observers are calling for calm after a clash between opposition supporters and police. the captain of mexico's national football team has been sanctioned by the us, accused of links to a drug—trafficking cartel. rafa marquez is one of 21 people named by the us treasury. he won't be able to travel to the us and his american bank accounts and assets will be frozen. now on bbc news, hardtalk.

himself as the ultimate deal—maker has just lost his two business advisory panels — both of them, officially, dissolved by the white house but onlyjust before they fell apart, as leading figures resigned in protest at mr trump's statements on the charlottesville violence. the president's refusal to draw a distinction between neo—nazis and anti—racist protesters is still having major political impact. two former republican presidents weighed in today against him. here's our north america editorjon sopel. # amazing grace... the memorial service for heather heyer, an anti—racism protestor mown down by a white supremacist in charlottesville on saturday. but far from this being an occasion when a nation comes together, america seems more bitterly divided than ever. they tried to kill my child to shut her up. well, guess what? you just magnified her. applause this was charlottesville on friday night — racist groups chanting "jews will not replace us," carrying ku klux klan style torches, and also marching to the slogan "white lives matter." yesterday, the president blamed both sides for the violence that ensued. you had a group on one side and you had a group on the other and they came at each other with clubs, and it was vicious and it was horrible and it was a horrible thing to watch. but there is another side. there was a group on this side — you can call them the left, you have just called them the left — that came violently attacking the other group, so you can say what you want, but that is the way it is. it is true there was violence on both sides. but the race hate protesters had come tooled up for trouble. many carried guns. this is not the army, but a right—wing militia that turned up bristling with weaponry. most had clubs, helmets and shields with white supremacist insignia. the anti—racism demonstrators were not organised, they were mostly local people among whom a small core had come to fight. but donald trump seeming to draw a moral equivalence between swastika—carrying neo—nazis and anti—racism protesters has brought near universal condemnation. the senior republican paul ryan tweeting: the only significant voice of support last night came from the former leader of the ku klux klan, david duke, who said: there is reported to be deep unhappiness among some senior white house staff over the president's comments. he had not been due to say anything and significantly, a new intervention — this time from two the former living republican presidents, george hw bush and george w bush — saying there is no room for bigotry or anti—semitism in today's america. donald trump left new york today to resume his hardly quiet or relaxing holiday. more isolated from the political and business establishment than at any time since he took office. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. for more on this washington correspondent david willis joins us. it doesn't look good, does it? but this man has done and said things that would have demolished anyone else‘s reputation and he has come sailing through. does any of this stop him from doing the things he will select to do? it is a good question. we will have to wait and see. he was the president of the business. he appointed himself as the ultimate dealmaker, or at least described himself as such. one of the first things he did was to set up the first things he did was to set up two councils tube boostjobs and the manufacturing industry, and to deliver on the promise that he made while he was campaigning for the presidency to make america great again. in recent days, we have seen resignations from those bodies, a trickle became a flood. then, word came out that members of one of these groups were thinking of basically disbanding the group itself. the president heard about that and he is of course the man that and he is of course the man that likes to say, you're fired, rather than be told as such. he decided to jump the gun and decided to disband those groups before the members got the opportunity to resign. having the business community distance itself from the president is bad news for his legislative agenda, potentially. bearing in mind that he has tax reform coming up on the agenda, and also has boosting the nation's infrastructure. both measures, policy areas where the president will need the support of the country's top business leaders are. on that point, his supporters say, he was always the antiestablishment candidate. he doesn't need the establishment. i think he is becoming increasingly isolated, and his problems with the party itself, from which he has long differed, are getting greater almost by the week. we heard from john kasich, the ohio governor, mitch mcconnell, the senate majority leader, both prominent republicans, as well as paul ryan, speaker of the house. they have all come out to distance themselves from donald trump's comments over the last 2a hours. well perhaps not directly mentioning the president by name, it is nonetheless clear what they were referring to. you do have a schism which potentially threatens to become a chasm as far as republicans are concerned, and donald trump. thank you for that. while donald trump's presidency may shortly be entering its eighth month — south korean president moonjae is about to give his first news conference to mark the first 100 days of his presidency, with the military crisis in the korean peninsula expected to be on the agenda. stay with us on bbc news for live coverage in around an hours item. at least 100 children are among the 400 people now known to have died in a mudslide in sierra leone's capital freetown. heavy rains brought down a mountainside, and more than 600 people are still missing. from freetown, the bbc‘s martin patience. in freetown, the ambulances are rushing not to the hospital but to the main mortuary. they are ferrying the dead — victims buried alive by a landslide. the relatives wait outside to collect their bodies. the stench of death is overpowering. emotions are raw. bishi lost her sister. daniel wasn't home when disaster struck. but he tells me six members of his family are dead, including his wife. they died, they died. the grief and anger is tangible here. this is a nation mourning the loss of hundreds. and rescue workers say that authorities are hampering their rescue efforts. this gaping scar was once a neighbourhood. now a landscape changed forever. it's the scene of a recovery operation on the hoof. diggers have been drafted in but there are no sniffer dogs, not enough body bags. the fear is disease could spread unless hundreds of corpses are found. a trickle of aid is getting through but many, like adama, are now homeless. i've lost everything, she tells me. martin patience, bbc news, freetown. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. in the past day alone, spanish coastguards have rescued nearly 600 people from 15 vessels, including toy paddle—boats and a jet ski, that had sailed from morocco. they say three times as many boats as last year are making the journey, loaded with migrants. un officials say at least 8,000 people have arrived in spain this year. millions of people are still stranded after days of heavy monsoon rains across bangladesh, nepal and india. at least 250 people have been killed. these pictures are from sunsari district in southern nepal — where the koshi river overflowed. robbers used sledgehammers to smash their way into a london jewellers on wednesday morning. cctv captured the men leaving the shop and escaping on mopeds. london's metropolitan police say nobody was injured — and no arrests have been made yet. in the middle east, the extremist group that calls itself islamic state is collapsing — but concern is focusing now on fighters returning home — some very young. it's believed at least 2,000 children went through is military training — those who trained them as fighters and suicide bombers called them lion cubs. the bbc has discovered some now living in europe — although most authorities are unaware of their past. this from our middle east correspondent quentin sommerville. this is childhood in the so—called islamic state. this footage, filmed secretly in raqqa and passed to the bbc, is of what is calls the ‘cubs of the caliphate'. they are child soldiers, barely teenagers. clumsy and armed to the teeth, their guns are almost too big for them. even as is is collapsing, it's investing in its future. it's a slow and steady defeat. this was is‘s capital in iraq. mosul‘s old city is now in ruins. this is where the is war machine suffered its biggest defeat but it isn't the end of them. here, the fighters honed their skills. this was their training ground. imagine fighting in this, and then surviving. well, some did — some escaped, and some have made it to europe. we travelled to belgium, and there we met ahmed. he joined is when he was just 15. translation: they taught me how to use a kalashnikov. we stayed for seven days in mosul. they kept talking about martyrdom operations. i was brainwashed and i believed it. i told my family, "you can't change my thoughts, and, no matter what you do, i'm going to stay." he became disillusioned with is and escaped, first to turkey, and then to europe. the authorities here don't know about his past. translation: they were my enemies but now i'm living among them, eating and drinking among them. they've received me and looked after me. when all this happened, i started to hate my entire past and started to establish a new life. he's not alone. we travelled to germany, where we met motassin. again, his youth means his is membership has gone undetected here. he was one of many groomed by the group. they would give us whatever we wanted, and tell us we were the best, that we were right and all the others were wrong and must fear us. they would also allow us to carry oui’ weapons wherever we go. for two weeks, he underwent military training and was schooled in sharia law. he was assigned to an is media unit. others, though, volunteered for suicide missions. they prefer children to adults because they can use them to bomb between civilians. nobody would expect that a 14 or 16—year—old boy would bomb himself. both teenagers that we met say they've turned their backs on is but, as we travelled across europe, we learned of at least three more young fighters living here. we approached the eu police force, europol, but they declined to comment. europe is still vulnerable but it's here where the journey begins. on the turkish border, syrian refugees can still slip through, scrabbling past searchlights and guard towers. near the border, i met a people smugglerfrom raqqa, one of many still operating. he helped one of the boys make it from is territory to europe in only a month. translation: i've helped many, a huge number. the route is getting worse. it used to be easier in 2014 and 2015. now the situation is more difficult due to the presence of us backed forces. you have to go through the kurds, the rebels and the us forces. it's difficult. is is not yet defeated. its territory is shrinking and its supporters fleeing. these are the final days of the so—called caliphate, but still the islamic state is no less of a threat. and, amid these ruins, they leave behind a legacy — hundreds of child soldiers, and a new generation of hate. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: one more shot as 007 — daniel craig confirms he'll be back as james bond. washington, the world's most political city

working conditions have not changed. also living conditions have never changed yet. the price that was paid was blood, was it worth it? i do not regret for that. we did make a mark, we did make a difference in our lives but the now, it is not worth enough because it is no longer benefiting the miners, it is benefiting individuals. they have been mining pattern here the years and the company says that they have been changes. since the massacre, operators are gaining greater salaries. around $1000, some more. also family members of those killed have been able to replace their relatives in the mind. $82 million has been set aside to compensate the families who lost family members on that tragic day but that money has not been distributed and the widows are still waiting. translation: this day it reminds me that my brother died violently. it is a sad day for me. we are still trying to make ends meet but he was the bread winner. every month is a difficult now. south africa has a difficult history of violence. family members of those killed here, in democratic south africa, hoping their story will be different. they want the policeman implicated in the killing to be brought to court. they want justice, only then, they say, will they find closure. pumza fihlani, bbc news. after months of speculation, daniel craig has confirmed he will playjames bond again. butjust one more time — he says. so why the change of heart?

i think we live in a different world. we pay a great deal of attention to security and safety. recently, the former mayor borisjohnson, invited me to london to look at the full spectrum of security. more recently i was in chicago and met with the former head of the metropolitan police to share intelligence about security and safety. we try to be as product if as we can. we recognise we live in a different world. one of the things, we are a long way away and that can bea we are a long way away and that can be a blessing at times but we are not taking any security or safety measures for granted. we were singled out to being a particularly safe city and that made me feel very proud but i would not want to say we are some sort of perfect city. we have problems as other big cities have. vulnerable people, homelessness, congestion. i hope we tried to manage those as anybody else in the world but it is a great pleasure for us to come out as the most liveable city pacific years in a row. “— most liveable city pacific years in a row. —— 47 years in a row. thank you for being with let's see if the weather is going to be behaving itself on thursday. looking a little mixed. there's some rain out there right now, but thursday itself is looking not too bad across the uk. there will be some sunshine around and a few showers as well, so you mightjust about need your brolly. but early in the morning, still raining across many parts of england, particularly eastern areas — that's where there could be some heavy rain still, anywhere from newcastle, just about into the midlands, east anglia and the south—east, but mild in the morning. 16 in london. 15 for leeds, and around about 13—14 in scotland and northern ireland. the cloud and the rain — the overnight cloud and the rain — might drag its heels a little bit across the south—east but eventually it should be out of the way in the north sea, and then we've got that mixture of sunshine and showers. and the showers might happen across the south—west, through the midlands, wales, scotland and northern ireland too, but not too many of them across northern england, we don't think. could be a beautiful day in cumbria and the north—east of england, for example. how about the cricket? just the chance of a shower, probably not too many of them around, so the risk of any disruption i don't think is particularly high. now, the forecast into friday — so, thursday night into friday — a low pressure is barrelling across the uk, and one thing that we will all notice on friday is the strength of the wind. it's going to be a very blustery day across the uk, all parts of the country. there will be some very blustery showers around, as well, across many northern and western areas of the uk. some of those showers will be heavy. so temperatures might be, say, 15—21 degrees, but it might feel cooler than that because of the strength of the wind. saturday, maybe not quite so windy but still pretty breezy. there will be some showers around but not as many. i think, overall, a slightly better day i think on saturday for most of us. now, i'm going to go back to what is happening right now, just off the eastern coast of the us, we have hurricane gert here, and that is going to be influencing our weather to an extent come sunday. this is what's going to be happening, so gert is going to start dying away, fizzling out, over the next two or three days and then it gets mixed up with the weather systems that usually come our way anyway. and basically what's going to happen is the leftovers of gert — so the clouds, some of the wind and rain — will be crossing our country during the course of sunday. so you could call it "ex—gert" if you like, but it's certainly not going to be a hurricane. that means rain in some parts of the country but some uncertainty exactly how much rain, how much wind. but it will be an unsettled sunday for sure. so here's the weekend summary — there will be some blustery showers and wind around for sure. this is bbc news, the headlines. the businessman who describes himself as the ultimate dealmaker has just lost two of his top panel figures. a wave of resignations from two advisory panels prompted mr trump to announce that both bodies had been scrapped. at least 100 children are among 400 people killed in mudslides in the capital of sierra leone, freetown. there's grief and anger in freetown as authorities are blamed for hampering rescue efforts — at least 600 people are still missing after monday's mudslide. it is believed that at least 200 children received military training. now on bbc news, it's time for hardtalk.

welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. our top stories: ten sailors are missing after a us navy ship collides with a merchant vessel in waters near singapore. a rescue operation is underway. spanish police say 12 terror suspects spent six months planning thursday's barcelona van attack. american and south korean troops begin their annual military exercises, as tensions remain high on the korean peninsula. contributes to jerry contributes tojerry lewis, one of america's all—time comedy greats, who has died in las vegas convention centre the one —— and tributes. —— who has died in las vegas aged 91. the us navy says ten of its sailors are missing and five have been injured after one of its ships collided with an oil tanker off the coast of singapore. the uss john mccain, a guided missile destroyer, was damaged in the collision with the liberian—flagged vessel. it is the second serious collision involving a us navy ship within two months. earlier i spoke to our south east asia correspondent karishma vaswani, and i asked her what more do we know. well, the information that's come through from the us navy's seventh fleet public affairs department is patchy at the very least. this is what we know at this stage. what we have been told is ten sailors are missing. five are reported to be injured. that's the information coming in from the public affairs department. the incident happened in the early hours this morning. we understand thejohn mccain uss destroyer was making a routine stop to singapore. this is very common for warships, a american warships in particular, in this part of the world. they are allies. while en route, it is not clear yet, it happened near singapore, in the straits of malacca. these are extremely congested waters, notjust because of trade, but because this is a very narrow body of water as well. it is still unclear at this stage what caused the incident. the collision occurred with a merchant vessel, a liberian flag waving vessel. substantially larger than the warship, it was. it sustained damage on the port side. it is not clear the extent of damage. media reports unconfirmed at this stage say there has been flooding in the ship. but what the us navy has been able to tell us is that the ship is running on its own power and is on its way to port. that is what we know at this stage. this is not the first time in the past two months a navy ship has been involved in a collision. you're absolutely right. now, a few months ago, back injune, in fact, off the coast of japan, another us warship, the uss fitzgerald, collided with a vessel much larger than the ship itself. it raises questions about the conduct on these ships. last friday, the us navy disciplined the commanders of the uss fitzgerald, saying that the incident in which seven us sailors lost their lives was avoidable. it is not clear what caused the collision. in the statement, they said the investigations would continue. spanish police say they believe a 12—strong terror cell spent six months planning the attack in barcelona that claimed 13 lives. they say the plotters originally intended to drive three vans laden with homemade bombs into crowds in las ramblas, but the plan changed after two of them died in an explosion last wednesday. the father of two men shot dead by police on friday has told the bbc he blames the imam at their local mosque for their radicalisation. our correspondent wyre davies reports from the town of ripoll, where most of the suspects lived. the small, simple mosque in the town of ripoll, where many of those involved in the attacks on barcelona and cambrils came to pray. the name of the one attacker still at large, younis abu—yaqub, written on the wall, with others who contributed to mosque funds. and police are now asking if this man, abdelbaki es satty, the mosque imam, masterminded the attacks, and led so many young men from this town into jihad. and this was his tiny flat at the top of a building in the town. his bedroom has since been emptied of everything by police. now, according to people at the mosque, he left two months ago to go on an extended journey to morocco. but we know from his flatmate here, who won't be filmed, and others in the town, that he left as recently as last tuesday, very suddenly. all that is left here is his small koran and his empty bedroom. today i spoke to hechami gasi, the devastated father of two of the attackers from ripoll, mohamed and omar hychami. "the last time i saw my youngest son," he told me, "was about 3:00pm on thursday, just hours before the attack in barcelona and cambrils. he didn't come back." hechami roundly blames the imam for radicalising his sons and the others. translation: he took these young, impressionable minds, messed around with their brains and now they're dead, my sons and the others. it's all the imam's fault. it is thought the imam may have been killed in the explosion that destroyed a bomb factory south of barcelona on wednesday, where police found dozens of gas canisters, apparently primed to make three massive car bombs. but the premature explosion forced the gang to change their plans. destructive events like this can often tear fragile communities apart, but here in ripoll, there is a determination that must not be allowed to happen. wyre davies, bbc news. police in barcelona have named more of the victims of thursday's attack, and confirmed that a seven—year—old boy was amongst the dead. julian cadman became separated from his mother as the attack unfolded. his family said they would remember his smiles and hold his memory dear to their hearts. james reynolds reports from barcelona. the sagrada familia basilica, monumental, unfinished, this morning gave this city a place in which to mourn all the victims. renato was one of the first in the queue. it's... no more sadness. it's incredible sadness. because this city is a symbol of — of freedom. of tolerance. between religions, races... what is happening is unbelievable. the people of barcelona now realise that they are as vulnerable as everyone else. and they now face a choice — change the way their city lives, or carry on as before. choir sings the archbishop of barcelona asked the city to unite against fear, and he offered consolation to the bereaved. the cadman family now mourns seven—year—old julian, the youngest named victim of the attack. he and his mother, jumarie, were together on the ramblas when they were struck. in a statement, his family says... the other victims include bruno gulotta, from italy, on holiday with his wife and two grandchildren. ian moore wilson was from canada. his family says he loved a debate, and a proper—sized pint. jared tucker, from the united states, was on honeymoon with his wife, heidi. and tonight, barcelona's unofficial cathedral, the nou camp, fell quiet. before kick—off, the stadium remembered the attack victims. in tribute, the names on the players' jerseys have each been replaced by the name of this city. james reynolds, bbc news, barcelona. and of course, you can keep up to date on this story and much, much more on our website. go to bbc.com/news. a massive joint military exercise involving south korea and the united states is about to begin. tens of thousands of troops, aircraft and naval vessels will be involved. but pyongyang isn't happy, saying it amounts to what it called pouring gasoline on a fire. amidst heightened rhetoric on both sides, yogita limaye has been to the point where north and south meet, the demilitarised zone. it is a place where a handful of european military personnel still monitor the armistice signed between the two koreas 64 years ago. it's a little bit like being in the eye of the hurricane. so everything is very tense around, but here, here it is calm and nice and peaceful. so it's a little bit of a strange situation sometimes. right next to the border between north and south korea, these are the men guarding the ceasefire between the two countries. the korean war, which started in june 1950, ended 27 july 1953 with an armistice agreement. and that is the same armistice agreement that is valid here today. there is no peace between the countries. they are technically at war, but the armistice keeps their two countries from fighting each other. south korea chose sweden and switzerland, while the north chose poland and czechoslovakia, as neutral nations to monitor the armistice. but, in the 1990s, pyongyang expelled the commission from its side. so now, only swedish and swiss officers remain in south korea. in light of the fact that for more than 20 years there has been no communication from the other side, you know, as people who are posted here, do you think there is any point in being here? i think it's important to mention that we are present every day in the conference room. so we are every day ready to receive, and to go sit back on the table to talk. even though north and south korean soldiers stand face—to—face at the border, there is no communication between the two sides. in recent days, harsh threats have been coming from pyongyang, but these have come to be expected. what is new now is that the rhetoric from north korea has met rhetoric from an american leader which is a little bit different, and then, of course, it goes a little bit higher. when you speak to the south korean people, of course, they're living next to each other, and the communications have been harsh a lot of the time. so i wouldn't say that they are more scared than the normal. but you never know. this contingent also monitors these military drills, conducted every year by the us and south korean forces, to ensure they don't violate the ceasefire. what was meant to be a temporary camp, untila peace agreement was signed, has now been here for 64 years. and of course, we all hope that we could close down here and go home, because there is a peace treaty. even so, our nice and good time here in korea would end, but then we can say "mission accomplished," we go home. but, as long as north korea presses on with its nuclear programme, there can be no peace agreement here. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: discovered after 72 years. the world war two warship sunk by a japanese submarine in the pacific ocean. washington, the world's most political city, is today assessing the political health of the world's most powerful man. indeed, i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky that was not appropriate. in fact, it was wrong. in south africa, 97 people have been killed today, in one of the worst days of violence between rival black groups. over the last ten days, 500 have died. chanting: czechoslovakia must be free! russia is observing a national day of mourning for the 118 submariners who died on board the kursk. we're all with them now, within our hearts. the pope has celebrated mass before a congregation of more than 2.5 million people, in his hometown of krakow.

years as this year's monsoon rains take a huge toll on parts of south asia. the floods are now known to have claimed more than 700 lives and driven more than a million people from their homes. our correspondent sanjoy majumder reports from kurigram in the north of bangladesh. a third of bangladesh is now under water. people here are used to floods, but not on this scale. entire villages have been washed away. those left standing are abandoned. there used to be a village here — now almost all of it is underwater. there were houses, lanes, even a small playground, and i can hear the call to prayer from the village mosque, which is over that side. now, the only way to get around is by boat, and the villagers are simply trying to salvage whatever is left. when you've got nothing left, every little possession is invaluable. in this case, a mattress floating in the water. this used to be nur hussein's home. he tells me how the water rose without warning at night, swirling through his house. translation: i saved my brother and his wife and came back to get some clothes and blankets, but by then it was too late for me to get away. i spent the night on a tree. for some, however, leaving was not an option. this woman was heavily pregnant when the flood waters rose. her baby was born a day later. delivered inside their home, surrounded by water. translation: there was water inside our room, all the way up to the bed. we put some paper on the bed and put the baby on top, to keep him dry. the rising waters in part are a result of overflowing rivers, which enterfrom neighbouring india, itself reeling under floods. bangladesh is paying the price for being downstream. there is now a sense of desperation among the survivors. aid workers bring in supplies of fresh water and are soon surrounded. but there's simply not enough to go around, leaving many angry and frustrated. people are now squeezed into every inch of dry land. and with no sign of the floods abating, they could be here awhile. sanjay majumder, bbc news, kurigram, bangladesh. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news. the united nations says 111,000 people have fled

of a us warship sunk by the japanese in 1945 has been discovered north—east of the philippines. the uss indianapolis was found more than three miles below the surface. it had just completed a secret mission to deliver parts for the hiroshima nuclear bomb when it was hit by japanese torpedoes. more than 800 sailors died, the largest loss of life at sea in the history of the us navy. sarah corker reports. for 72 years, the final resting place of the uss indianapolis had been a mystery. that's it, we've got it — the indy. 5.5 kilometres beneath the surface of the philippine sea, these are the first pictures of the wreckage. an anchor marked on the left—hand side, "us navy". this was indy. this was from a refit at pearl harbor in 1942. the ship was found by a search vessel with equipment that can reach some of the deepest ocean floors. it was funded by the microsoft co—founder paul allen. we try to do this both as really exciting examples of underwater archaeology and as tributes to the brave men that went down in these ships. the warship had just completed a secret mission to deliver parts for the hiroshima nuclear bomb. close to midnight on the 30th ofjuly, 1945, she was hit by japanese torpedoes and sank in 12 minutes. two thirds of the crew initially survived the sinking, but no distress call was ever received. many were eaten by sharks. just 316 were rescued out of a crew of nearly 1,200. i would prefer people to focus on the heroism and the valour of the crew, which actually began long before the ship was torpedoed and sunk. she had ten battle stars in some of the most brutal combat throughout the entire course of the pacific war. a spokesman for the 22 remaining survivors said each of them had longed for the day when their ship would be found. sarah corker, bbc news. earlier i spoke with richard thelen, who survived the sinking of the uss indianapolis more than seven decades ago. it's great. i've been looking for her for quite a few years. i'm surprised they found her. i talked to a man at the last reunion about whether they would find itand i told him i didn't think so but he told me the latest technology today meant they can find it and they did. although it must be painful, can you tell us about the day the ship sank? i was sleeping top side as it was too hot below deck. i had to watch between 4am and 8am. i went down to go to sleep and at 12:10pm the ship was hit by torpedoes, two of them. one blew out 30, 40, 50, doing damage to the bow, the other hit midship, where the aviation gas was stored. we had two seaplanes aboard. the power went. when that blew up the ship sank in 12 minutes, which is really fast. indeed. the largest loss of life at sea in the history of the us navy. how did you manage to escape? well, i was on the topside there and i was lucky because the bow went down first. me and some other men got some lifejackets and life rafts that were anchored to the gunboat tower. we cut them down and by that time we saw the ship sink. i got myself a life jacket. a lot of people asked me where ijumped off the ship. i didn'tjump, the ship left me. it went down and i swam away. with regard to the secret mission the ship was on, were you aware of what it was doing at the time? no. a lot of people said it was a secret mission but we were in san francisco and the ship came out of dry dock and it was ready to be transferred, or travelled. so we just got over there. there are five things that stand out about this story. we set a speed record between the united states and kenya. we took the first atomic bomb over. it's the first time a captain was court marshalled for losing a ship in the history of the navy. more men lost in that ship in one sinking in the history of the navy in wartime. we spent more time in a lifejacket, four days and five nights, without food and water, and survived, than we did on the ship. one of the greats of american comedy, jerry lewis, has died at his home in las vegas. he

the further north and east you were, the drier and finer was your day. the cloud filled in after a bright enough start in the south. eventually, the skies became pretty leaden so there was urgent work to be done in the fields, and eventually the rain arrived. a wet start to monday, too. mild underneath the blanket of cloud and rain. the cloud sitting low on the high ground of the south and south—west. further north and east, again, it's a bright start to the day, some decent spells of sunshine. a rather cool start to the day, given those clear skies. but at least you've got that sunshine. make the most of it, because it won't last in all parts, by any means at all. the general rule of thumb is to drive this rain ever further towards the north and east. it'll make slow progress, there's no doubt about it. here we are in the middle part of the afternoon. by this stage, things will have cheered up in the south for england and wales. where the sun comes out, 20—21

greater part of monday and on into the first part of tuesday, we will see that rain really has not completed its journey to the far north of scotland. tuesday is a bit like monday in that once the rain has gone further north, it offers the opportunity across a good part of england and wales for the cloud to begin to break. and if it does so, those temperatures really will rocket away. i show you 22—24 quite widely, but someone could have 26, possibly even 27. the weather fronts have brought the prospect of wind and rain and cloud for some. but at the same time, they herald the arrival for warm moist air from the tropics, and it hangs around into the middle of next week, until that cold front brings something more fresh from the atlantic. but in its northern portion it still has a lot of activity on it. there'll be some pretty heavy downpours in northern britain on wednesday. the last of those warmer days in the south as we go towards thursday and into friday, there are spells of
