that the dslr has finally met its match? dan simmons has been to the world's biggest photo expo, photokina, in germany, to find out. photography isn't about cameras. it's about taking great pictures. but the introduction from heavyweights nikon and canon in the mirrorless full frame market is turning the heads of pros as well as enthusiasts. i am an extreme sports photographer and i had the chance for about two months to test the new eosr. this is canon's new system. on sale from tuesday, it will work with existing eos lenses and offers several big advantages over dslr. this new camera enables me to shoot scenarios that i couldn't shoot before. for instance, if i get really close to an athlete, he is in his zen mode where he prepares for a stunt, and it's quite critical. if i disturb him too much, he might lose his stunt and i might lose my picture. but eosr, i can put into silent mode and then it is really completely silent. it's like there is no noise at all. the only way you can understand that there is a picture being taken is a little flash around the viewfinder. i was scep

full-length model it is a short, illustrated book. it is beautifully illustrated by the artist, dan williams. i am indebted to him for his gorgeous illustrations. it really speaks very poetically to the plight of this father and his son and those images elevate the words to a lovely, emotional level. breaking news on the talk that have been going on in london after those clashes over skull up fishing. we havejust heard an agreement on the principles of a deal to end the scholar pot wars has been reached. this is according to the uk and french governments. essentially, the agreement seems to be to renew the arrangements that we re be to renew the arrangements that were in place back in 2017. we don't have the full details yet. but it does say that has been a statement that the uk and french fishing industries and governments have held constructive talks and they will meet again in paris on friday. there will be more coming up on that in beyond 100 days after 7pm but first, let's get the weather. we are ending the day with some outbreaks of rain in scotland and northern ireland and th

some farmers to to sow crops. joining me now is dan belcher, a farmer in melton mowbray. tell us, how has the weather affected your farm this year? it's been very trying. spring and winter. we have just it's been very trying. spring and winter. we havejust finished lambing, the weather has been very wet and cold, we have managed to escape a lot of snow thankfully but i know some farmers further north and south who were heavily caught in the snow since three weeks ago. we are almost halfway through this season, it's too wet to get the cows out onto the ground. talk to a specifically about how heavy rain has affected you. we have quite a heavy clay here, almost flash flooding, the ground is waterlogged, the water cannot get anywhere, we had rain again last friday night and a couple of days dry will stop the animals are sitting in water with water on top of them, it causes pretty heavy losses. it is one to test us this time of year. you sent us some test us this time of year. you sent us some pictures which i think we can look at now. this gives us some sense of the kind of conditions yo

this morning, having spent 29 days at sea and beating the previous record by six days. dan johnson has more. and here they go! shouting the end of an epicjourney rowed in record time, four men who had not even been in a rowing boat 18 months ago, now not only challenge winners but the first to cross the atlantic in less than 30 days. it feels overwhelming. the challenge, as we said before, is just relentless, never ending pain, just rowing, the whole thing, and coming first is something that is beyond our wildest dreams. they left the canary islands 3,000 miles away and faced 40—foot waves, scorching sun and howling winds, not quite the apocalypse but a test of endurance for the four oarsmen. surviving on rations, producing their own water, taking it in turns to eat, to sleep, and to row. it‘s amazing to complete the row. we set out as a charitable initiative, for two charities, mind, and spinal research. the mind research is commemorative of my mum and her struggle with her mental health. to do it in such justice and in such style and with such great support and great success

takes in time to get all 13 boys and their coach out. dan, i'm not sure you have the details but in terms of the operation, like you said it is complex, i'm hearing a lot of chatter about chamber three and why it is so problematic for the rescue team. what more can you us about this? yes. that's the cavern nearest to where the boys are where the divers, the rescue team can sort of set up an intermediate base, deep inside the cave but it is the last point the divers can put all their extra equipment, the extra supplies. each diver needs three tanks of oxygen just to reach the point where the boys are. that's the toughest bit, getting the boys back to cavern three. 0nce bit, getting the boys back to cavern three. once they are there through the narrowest pa rt three. once they are there through the narrowest part they have navigated the worst bit but that is tricky. it's a journey that takes five or six hours in total to get to the cave entrance for a professional diver with experience. so these boys certainly won't be rushed. if the water isn't rising and there isn't immediate risk w

semifinal with croatia. dan roan reports from russia. semifinal with croatia. how to celebrate pulling off one of the biggest wins in your country's history? one of the biggest wins for england this morning, first a gentle yoga session back at their training base, followed by a spot of light shopping in the local village, the players happy to have extended their stay here, after yesterday's success in samara. england's 2—0 win over sweden, their first world cup quarterfinal victory in 28 years, was their most impressive to date here in russia. was their most impressive yet again, they proved a threat from set pieces, while goalkeeperjordan pickford's man—of—the—match performance ensured a first clean sheet of the campaign. man—of—the—match performance ensured you get better, and you get a feeling for the tournament, and you look at the squad, and i think that's exactly what is happening. and i think that's exactly for them to put in their best performance in the quarterfinal speaks volumes about the confidence and the belief that that squad has, and that will, hopefully, carr

africa is over. this from our sports editor dan roan. a warning, there are flashing images in his report. from australian cricket's leader to its loneliest figure, steve smith back in sydney and facing the cameras today, having been sent home in disgrace for his team's cheating scandal. to all of my team—mates, to fans of cricket all over the world, and to all australians who are disappointed and angry, i'm sorry. supported by his father, the former captain's anguish obvious. any time you think about making a questionable decision, think about who you're affecting. you're affecting your parents and to see the way my old man has been... sobbing. thanks, everybody. ..and my mum. it hurts. smith was banned for a year for covering up a team—mate's use of sandpaper to tamper with the ball during the cape town test match last weekend. cameron bancroft admitting today he also misled match officials when he was caught. i lied about the sandpaper and i panicked, i panicked in that situation, and i'm very sorry. back injohannesburg came yet another casualty of the crisis. 48 hours after being

and two crew who were on board the helicopter. our sports editor, dan roan, is at the stadium. it's a city in shock. tributes and tears outside the king power stadium in leicester today as the club and its fans struggled to come to terms with last night's helicopter crash. just yards away, the burnt out wreckage as an investigation into the tragedy continues. club owner vichai srivaddhanaprabha, one of five people on board. the thai billionaire had been at the ground to watch leicester city's draw against west ham united last night. an hour later, the moment his helicopter took off captured in the post—match coverage. as you can see, the owners are now heading off. just seconds later, this... the helicopter turning into a fireball. eyewitnesses say it spiralled out of control. oh, my god! the helicopter‘s just crashed. srivaddhanaprabha bought leicester city in 2010, leading it to unprecedented success. known as one of thailand's most astute tycoons, he made his vast fortune through a duty free retail empire, but no—one could've predicted his club's unforgettable premier leagu

more than 1,000 are missing. from california, dan johnson reports. in the ruins of paradise, the president got his own clear view of just how devastating this file was. and he offered his sympathy to the people of this town and the families of those still missing. this is very sad to see. as far as the lives are concerned, nobody knows quite yet. we are up to a certain number but a lot of people are not accounted for. this is the kind of destruction... in fact, they are telling me this isn't as bad as some areas. some areas are even beyond this. what a week ago, while this earth was still hot, the president sparked a debate about forest management threatened to cut government funding and after the anger of his initial reaction, today he met some of those who responded and have been searching what is left. he was asked if any of this made him think differently about climate change no. we are going to have forests that are very safe. the president has shown paradise, like so many other places, that his words can be divisive and controversial before they are unifying and supportive,

correspondent dan johnson is in nearby chico. yes, and it seems like everyone here has their own sad story, of homes and businesses that have been destroyed, of friends and family missing or dead. there are big questions about how the fire started, how it spread so quickly and how and if they can safely rebuild. but tell paradise and its people are still suffering and ten days on, things keep getting worse. this is a ghost town that cannot lay its souls to rest. this road is where the brunt of the fire hit. and those sworn to protect life and property here must now assess what's gone. we're going to go over to a property where a 88—year—old woman lived. the sergeant barely recognises streets he is patrolled for 18 years. all the normal landmarks that you're used to using argon. there is a new daily drumbeat here, uncovering the agony of a fire that gave people little chance. piecing together its painful suffering. so, pretty frail, probably not able to get around, probably not able to get around, probably didn't drive. and the fire hit early in the morning so who knows if she was

our sports editor dan roan is already in place for us. dan, victories against the all blacks don't come very often, do they? that is right. it is hard in sport these days, with so many fixtures it seems like saturation. but not when it comes against the all blacks. the first time in 2012 perhaps that england have the chance to beat new zealand. they played in 2014, but not for six years have they tasted victory. they have had to wait four yea rs victory. they have had to wait four years to play them again. less than a year away from the world cup could give that extra significance. you could make the case for england playing the best team in rugby and the best team in world sport because everybody knows how impressive the all blacks brahma record is. in this year they have won all but one of the 11 test matches so far. they are averaging 42 points and match. they are in tremendous form and their record against england is very impressive. they have played 40 times and won all but seven. all the pressure will be on england to try and win the game, but they come into this match with t

elections like no other. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. the bbc‘s dan johnson in washington says voting turnout is high. it doesn't really, we just know american politics has been very polarising over the last two years, many people feel very strongly even in favour of donald trump or against him, and the signs are whichever side they're on, they're likely to turn out and vote tomorrow in record numbers, if they haven't already cast their ballot in early voting or through postal votes, because about 35 million americans have already done that, that's way up on the last mid—term elections four years ago. there's an excitement and energy about these elections that no one can remember at any other previous mid—terms. it's become a cliche to say american opinion is polarised, but it absolutely is. yes, there's very little middle ground to be found in any of this campaigning. the strategy from both sides and seems to have been in the last few days just to appeal to their core, natural supporters and try and get as many of those to actually turn out and vote as possible in the hope that w

. earlier i spoke to our correspondent dan johnson in washington, who said president trump is indeed wading into this confrontation. yes, and saying that he might go as far as calling off the meeting with president putin that was scheduled to take place on the sidelines of the g20 later this week in argentina. so i think that gives a clear indication that the white house and the department of state, the government here in washington, feels that it is russia that has overstepped the mark in this confrontation. russia, of course, blames the ukrainians for straying into their waters around the coast of crimea. but it seems the white house and the department of state are all in agreement that this was russia's act of aggression, a dangerous act of aggression, as it's been described. and that's why there's a call for greater sanctions, for sanctions to be fully applied on the russians, and for more to be done through nato, a call for european countries, and germany was named in particular, to contribute more to nato, and to work harder through nato to find a solution to this, even though

contribution to the game as our sports editor dan roan reports. the people of leicester had paid their respects to their clubs owner. today it was the turn of those closest to him. a poignant moment when vichai srivaddhanaprabha's wife and son walked among the sea of tributes to lay their own wreath. shortly afterwards — and with the crowds growing — came the players, led by goalkeeper kasper schmeichel and followed by strikerjamie vardy, a very public display of reflection. he was not your archetypal owner. this guy seemingly was one of those people who gave so much to the football club. he also gave so much to the city. invested huge amounts of money into hospitals. he treated fans like he cared. srivaddhanaprabha's helicopter left the stadium an hour after leicester's game against west ham. but, seconds later, it crashed into a car park at the south of the ground, bursting into flames. the air accident investigations branch has recovered the digital flight data recorder from the aircraft and said it would begin analysis immediately. the tragedy was witnessed by one of the club's
