10:30 am
ceasefire negotiations — the united states, egypt and qatar issue a joint call for talks to resume next week. the son of bangladesh's former prime minister, sheikh hasina, says his mother will return to the country when fresh elections are called. hello, i'm lauren taylor. we start with some breaking news coming into us from ukraine. reports that russia has hit a supermarket in the east of ukraine and at least seven people have been wounded in that attack. a local official has confirmed seven people injured in the attack in the ukraine. more information on that as soon as we get it. let's get more on the recent disorder across england and northern ireland. much of the unrest we've seen since the fatal stabbings of three children in southport 11 days ago,
10:31 am
was fuelled in part by mis—information, spread on social media about the alleged killer. our disinformation correspondent, marianna spring, has tracked down some of the people behind one of the first posts publishing false information, and asked them why they did it. all this week, we've been telling you a lot about how misinformation, false claims on social media, have been accused of fuelling riots in the uk. i've been investigating where it's coming from and why it's being shared. one of the first pages to share false information about the southport tragedy was this unregulated news site called channel3 now. they wrote a story about the stabbings in southport and quickly posted it on social media. some of the details were correct, but the name of the 17—year—old charged was false and the article wrongly suggested that the alleged attacker was here seeking asylum. nevertheless, it was widely quoted and shared, often by accounts posting disinformation and far—right ideas. and because the site name sounded
10:32 am
like a news station, people might have been less likely to question it. now, because of what happened in the uk this week, i tracked down some of the people linked to channel3 now to find out who they are. james is an amateur hockey player from nova scotia in canada. and then there's farhan. he's a dad who appears to be based in lahore in pakistan. when i reached out to farhan, he blocked me. but i've confirmed both of their identities by speaking to people who know them. we don't know if either of these people were responsible for the misinformation about southport, as the article doesn't have a by—line. i was also able to speak to someone who says they're called kevin and based in texas. they say they're involved in the running of the site and its social media accounts. this person apologised for the inaccurate article, saying "this shouldn't have happened, but it was an error, not intentional". what i found out about channel3 now points towards a site that wants to make money from jumping on stories quickly, rather than intentionally looking to fuel riots. kevin said the site is covering as many stories as possible to generate income, so chasing
10:33 am
clicks appears to have been more important than checking the facts. that's partly down to the design of the social media sites. x allows accounts to profit from their posts the more views they get, even if what they're saying is false. so what's the solution? well, current legislation in the uk, like the online safety act, doesn't have the ability to deal with disinformation, although there are other laws that deal with hate, incitement, violence. plus lots of the people involved are based abroad. instead, the power lies mainly with the social media companies and partly with those who share this content, whether intentionally or not. x hasn't yet responded to the bbc�*s request for comment. the prime minister has told an emergency cobra meeting that the police will remain on high alert, after a week of violent disorder. he said there was "no doubt" rapid sentencing and extra police officers on the street helped prevent further unrest. earlier, i spoke to bbc newsbeat�*s presenter pria rai, who's been speaking to younger
10:34 am
listeners and callers to her shows all week, and hearing their views on the riots and protests. it raised conversations of experiences perhaps of racism, discrimination, that kind of feeling of intimidation that their parents or grandparents had experienced say in the uk in the 70s and 80s. then raising those conversations and realising they are witnessing for some of them that feeling first—hand that they had only ever heard about. so particularly interesting, i spoke to an 18—year—old who lives in an area of birmingham where there is a strong south asian community there. he said, i am born and bred strong south asian community there. he said, iam born and bred here strong south asian community there. he said, i am born and bred here and for the first time i feel like i am questioning my identity. there were a lot of people getting in touch, expressing this feeling of fear, being aware of the colour of their skin for the first time. some of it is based off what they have seen on the news, some based off what they
10:35 am
are seeing being spoken about online. that was particularly interesting across all british asian communities, particularly for muslim communities, particularly for muslim communities and young muslims that we had spoken to, british muslims. i spoke to one young woman called lipa who is a british muslim and she said it made her question herself. we have a riot _ it made her question herself. we have a riot here today. i said riot and not — have a riot here today. i said riot and not protest and i will continue to refer_ and not protest and i will continue to refer to— and not protest and i will continue to refer to a — and not protest and i will continue to refer to a riot because these people — to refer to a riot because these people have no other motive than riots _ people have no other motive than riots so — people have no other motive than riots. so these people will come in and they— riots. so these people will come in and they want to cause havoc, so what _ and they want to cause havoc, so what i _ and they want to cause havoc, so what i wanted to do was take my nan out so _ what i wanted to do was take my nan out so she _ what i wanted to do was take my nan out so she is— what i wanted to do was take my nan out so she is not afflicted by what is going _ out so she is not afflicted by what is going on. — out so she is not afflicted by what is going on, the noises, the sounds. the police _ is going on, the noises, the sounds. the poiice are — is going on, the noises, the sounds. the police are battling everywhere because _ the police are battling everywhere because they are trying to keep everybody safe.— because they are trying to keep everybody safe. because they are trying to keep eve bod safe. ., , ., everybody safe. how has it been for ou and everybody safe. how has it been for you and your _ everybody safe. how has it been for you and your mum _ everybody safe. how has it been for you and your mum and _ everybody safe. how has it been for you and your mum and your - everybody safe. how has it been for you and your mum and your nan, i everybody safe. how has it been for you and your mum and your nan, as much as you have been able to do with her, having the conversations about the experiences that they may

10:37 am
their heritage or community on their streets or on other people's streets but a sense of frustration, of not knowing then if they have concerns about immigration, how to talk about it without being branded something they don't feel like they are. also a sense of wanting to have more information, feeling like, 0k, a sense of wanting to have more information, feeling like, ok, i am concerned about immigration but i don't really know if i have all the information to base that opinion on. we did have several people getting in touch, saying i really empathise and understand or can only imagine how fearful some people may be feeling. i don't want them to feel that they are but i also am wanting to talk about immigration. that is something that a couple of people who got in touch with newsbeat, chris and kirsty spoke to me about. all of the illegal immigration and the volume of people being let in and the _ the volume of people being let in and the fact that even though with the voting —

10:40 am
of heaviness that a lot of people have been feeling, a lot of fear, it's a word i keep using that it is a word i keep hearing from our listeners, there have been, there is a well to be persistent to try and keep things going in a more positive, less violent direction. some breaking news for you. a british terror suspect has been deported back to the uk after being freed from prison in kenya. jermaine grant was arrested yesterday in london after arriving on a flight from nairobi. he was jailed in kenya after being arrested in 2011 when bomb making equipment was discovered in a raid on his flat in mombasa. police believe he was planning a bombing campaign on tourist hotels on kenya's coast. mr grant was convicted of terrorism offences in 2019, alongside another conviction forforgery. the metropolitan police confirmed he'd been detained in london under the terrorism act. grant had been linked in kenya to samantha lewthwaite, the widow of suicide bomber
10:41 am
jermaine lindsay, one of four men responsible for the 2005 london attacks in which 52 people died. victims of historical miscarriages ofjustice have been told they won't be refunded money that was deducted from their compensation to cover board and lodging costs while they were in prison. last year, the conservative lord chancellor alex chalk said there would be no such deductions from future payments, but left the issue of past cases undecided. 0ur political correspondent damian grammaticus told me how this news will be recieved. well, as you'd imagine, a real disappointment, very bitterly, by those who said they believe they should not have to pay this cost. so what this is, that case last year, a man who was wrongfully imprisoned,
10:42 am
his conviction was overturned. when he said that from his compensation he was going to get, the government was going to deduct the costs of what are called saved living expenses. so whilst he was in prison, the money he didn't have to spend on rent and food, the government position at the time was, well, you saved that, so we will deduct that from the compensation. there was an outcry. last year, the government said that case and all future ones that would be stopped. then what happened is people who had money deducted in the past came forward. paul blackburn was one of those. he spent 25 years in prison. he was convicted just aged 16 of attempted murder. that was overturned in the early 2000s. he had £100,000 deducted from his compensation for those saved living expenses. he was written to by the government just in the past week to say
10:43 am
that they were turning down his application to have that money refunded. they said although the policy was changing, it would not apply retrospectively and he is very upset about that. he said that he doesn't feel like that is just. the government could easily change this and he said he felt he had been victimised by the state which had imprisoned him before underfalse pretenses and now was doing so again by denying him the refund of this money. there has been a sharp decline in the number of foreign workers and students applying to come to the uk. the previous conservative government blocked certain migrants from bringing family members to britain, and provisionalfigures from the home office show requests to work or study in the uk were down by a third injuly, compared to last summer. the family of a retired british doctor have issued an urgent appeal after he disappeared in the french pyrenees almost 48 hours ago. tom doherty, who is 67 and from st albans in hertfordshire,
10:44 am
was travelling alone in southern france. the search, involving helicopters and dogs, resumed this morning. the former model, katie price, has been arrested at heathrow airport and taken into police custody for failing to attend court. an arrest warrant was issued for the 46—year—old last week, after she failed to attend a court hearing relating to her bankruptcies. ms price will appear in court today, as sean dilley reports. back from holiday, but katie price's feet hardly touched the ground before she found herself in police custody. the former glamour model was arrested by metropolitan police officers at 7:45 last night, for failing to show up at a high court bankruptcy hearing on the 30th ofjuly. the court said she failed to show despite knowing that she had to, and being given very clear warnings she'd face arrest if she did not. the model, once known asjordan, had been due to answer questions about two bankruptcies.
10:45 am
herfirst was in november 2019, her second in march this year. judge catherine burton said katie price had provided no real explanation for not turning up. she said, "it is in myjudgement necessary that the court issue a warrant for ms price's arrest." the judge described her cooperation as piecemeal and said she had only provided the most basic information relating to her bankruptcies, adding, "she has no real excuse in failing to attend today's hearing. "the reason for her absence today is irrelevant." specialist lawyers had hoped to quiz katie price about her finances. she's already paying 40% of her earnings from the adult entertainment site 0nly fans towards her first bankruptcy. her second relates to an unpaid tax bill of £750,000. now, though, she's paying the price forfailing to show, with an uncomfortable landing, and a night in a west london police cell.
10:46 am
sean dilley, bbc news. the bbc has learned that emails sent to an inbox set up by west mercia police — for people to report incidents of violence against women and girls — were not read for up to nine months. the failure was finally noticed by a woman from shrewsbury who tried to contact the force after her abuser breached his exclusion order. tracey higgins has more. nine years ago, sadie hopkins was kidnapped and imprisoned in her own home by herformer partner, after he turned up unexpectedly one night. i was just waiting for the knife to plunge. waiting to feel that sensation of being stabbed. he made me get on my hands and knees, and he shut all the curtains, locked all the doors. i had to crawl on my hands and knees up to the bedroom, the whole time with a knife being held against me. before the attack, he'd been stalking herfor three months after she ended their relationship. i'd find him hiding outside
10:47 am
bushes outside my house. um, just... ..he was just constantly about, constantly lurking in the shadows. sadie eventually managed to escape. her former partner was jailed and told not to contact her again, or enter shrewsbury after his release. i didn't trust people. i thought everybody was out to get me. constantly looking over my shoulder. wouldn't go out running alone any more. it had a huge impact on my life, and my family's life. almost a decade later, sadie's sense of security was shattered. i was walking up the platform, and then all of a sudden ijust saw him. he has a restraining order, and he's not allowed to step foot in shrewsbury. i just couldn't understand why he was there. i panicked, i was frightened. i was finally getting my life back together and then, boom, you know, he's there. she contacted west mercia police on a dedicated website to report issues of violence and abuse,
10:48 am
but heard nothing back. and that's when she came to us. our investigation has discovered that an email inbox set up by west mercia police for women to report issues of violence and abuse, hasn't been routinely monitored for nine months. so has the force failed the very people it should be protecting? so i wrote to them and said, you know, i'm frightened. you state that you're here to help women, um, that feel scared and unsafe, and that you're trying to tackle this. i'm deeply sorry sadie has not received the service she should have received. and west mercia police have let her down. i'm absolutely committed, just as sadie refers to in there, of listening to the voices of the victims, ensuring that we are, not only deeply professional in our response, but incredibly compassionate as well. the value that sadie provides in providing her account will feed into our development and understanding of our officers and staff, so that we can improve our service. sadie's glad she's spoken out, but she's done so to protect
10:49 am
other women from going through the same ordeal. the police need to listen to women. if a woman says she's scared, it will be for a genuine reason. basically, they don't respond until it's too late. that's when they respond, when when a bad thing has already happened and it's too late. somebody�*s gone, somebody�*s hurt. 0rganised crime gangs are taking advantage of high street closures to set up industrial sized cannabis farms in empty shops, cafes and theatres around the uk. according to the national police chiefs' council, some landlords have even found themselves pulled into a multi—million—pound criminal industry. 0ur wales correspondent, hywel griffith, has been investigating. retreat! police! just behind the high street, right in the middle of town, gwent police raid a disused building in abertillery. inside, hundreds of mature cannabis plants fill every room. an industrial scale farm planted between the shops and takeaways.
10:50 am
it seems to be one of the larger, um, operations that we've come across. there's certainly, as far as we can see, at least seven large rooms. looking at it, it's probably something that's been going on for some time, and i would be very surprised if that was the first crop of plants that had come from this building. it's the latest farm the force has found in an empty retail property. back in october, 3,000 plants were uncovered growing across every floor of this old department store, right in the centre of newport. they're beautiful buildings, but unfortunately some of them have fallen into disrepair. they're not being used. so i think certainly these gangs, these organised crime groups, can see the opportunity to grow on a scale that they've never had the opportunity to grow before. in recent years, newport has had one of the highest retail vacancy rates in britain, and organised crime groups have taken advantage. big cannabis farms are also found in the old cinema
10:51 am
and in city centre offices. but it's notjust in this corner of the country where there's a problem. from a bingo hall in barry to a disused bank in dudley, high streets from aberdeenshire to weston—super—mare have all been raided by the police. 0nce busy town centres have attracted a multi—million pound industry. but officers say it's not just drug dealers involved. it isn'tjust those that grow the cannabis that we are prosecuting, but we've also prosecuted landlords of these places who, at best, may be turning a blind eye to what's happening, as opposed to taking an active interest in what's happening in their properties. but alongside those tradespeople as well, we've seen prosecutions of estate agents, uh, electricians, people who've facilitated this trade. it's a business model which the police say also depends on human trafficking and serious violence to thrive, as organised crime groups profit from the high street�*s demise. hywel griffith, bbc news.
10:52 am
a new device to help children with cystic fibrosis clear their lungs and breath more easily has been designed by nurses at a hospital in warwickshire. the hydro—bubble is cheap to make and can be given to parents for use at home, saving the nhs from providing costly, single use, equipment. 0ur reporter, kevin reide, has been to find out more. four—year—old ivan was born with cystic fibrosis, or cf, as it's often called. it's a lifelong condition, one of its main effects being thick mucus that causes blockages inside the lungs. but now this new hydro bubble device can help. it provides a pressure that you blow against, a resistance. that keeps your lungs nice and open. so that makes the, i suppose, the roads open. so if there's any phlegm or, you know, mucus in your lungs, it makes it easier for it to travel up to a high place. you can cough it out. the oscillation effect — so when you blow the bubbles and you can see the bubbles forming, it shakes the secretions from the surrounding airways and makes it much easier to cough
10:53 am
and remove that phlegm. previously, parents would be issued with these standard bottles of sterile water from the hospital, along with some tubing, and that would have to be thrown away afterjust one use. but the new system can be washed in a dishwasher, or sterilised with tablets, and then used time and time again. and that saves the nhs money. the idea came from three nurses, including yasmin husaini and jane white, who work with child cf patients in warwickshire. and forjane, there was an unexpected use of the hydro bubble when her three—year—old daughter, who doesn't have cf, became ill with a bad chest infection. she was really struggling to clear her secretions, so we started using her on the hydro bubble. and within sort of 24 hours of starting on the hydro bubble, she'd managed to clear off all the horrible infection and she was back to her normal bouncy self. meanwhile, back with ivan, and he's leading as normal a life as possible in spite of having to take drugs, nebulisers and undergo physiotherapy every day.
10:54 am
the hydro bubble just makes life a little easier. we just fill it up with water, and then he can just carry it around as he's playing with his toys, giving it a blow. we try and do at least ten minutes of blowing, as long as he can, and then some nice big puffs in between, which brings all the mucus off his lungs. so it's far easier, much more fun. the fight against cystic fibrosis goes on, but modern treatments are undoubtedly improving the outlook for those who have it. kevin reide, bbc news. an update on events in ukraine. we havejust had an update on events in ukraine. we have just had confirmation from the governor in the area in ukraine, in east eastern ukraine, where a supermarket has been killed. two people have been killed at least and 17 wounded. ukraine says thousands need to be evacuated from areas
10:55 am
across the border, where the ukrainian forces have been leading the incursion into russia for a fourth status of moscow says it has been fighting off that ukrainian incursion of the ukrainian police said about 20,000 people need to be evacuated from 28 settlements in the region and that is an increase on the previous estimate of around 5000 people. the consequences coming in from that incursion by ukrainian forces into russia. they say they need to evacuate the area but also separately an air strike which has hit a supermarket in eastern ukraine, killing two people and wounding 17. now it's time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas. hello. for some of us it was quite a humid and cloudy start to the day, but we're seeing fresher air now moving in and that's going to bring with it for the rest of the day some spells of sunshine. there'll be a few blustery showers in the forecast, but most of them will be across scotland and northern ireland too. we've got low pressure centred to the north and higher pressure towards the south.
10:56 am
this is the cold front that moved its way eastwards overnight, so that's bringing us the fresher feel to the weather. lots of sunshine out there, quite windy conditions, particularly in the north west. we could see gusts over a0 miles an hour and showers pile in for scotland, a few for northern ireland. could get a shower, perhaps northwest england and north wales, but most of us further south should stay dry. temperatures 2a or 25 down towards the south east, but we're typically looking at high teens or low 20s further north. 0vernight, there'll be further showers rattling in across scotland, especially the northern half of scotland. more low cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle heading in from the west across england and wales. it won't be quite as warm and humid as last night, with temperatures around 11 to 15 to kick off your weekend. so the weekend's weather — for saturday, we've got this frontal system. it's a pretty weak affair, but it is bringing some quite low cloud, drizzly rain to parts of england and wales to start your day on saturday, mainly in the west, heading its way eastwards but tending to fizzle out, that rain. i think it will improve for wales, the midlands and northern england. there'll also be some sunshine for scotland and northern ireland. a few showers in the north,
