goodbye. live from london, this is bbc news. one person is dead and six are missing after a super yacht sinks during a storm off the coast of sicily. among those missing the british technology tycoon mike lynch and his 18—year old daughter — his wife has been rescued. the government brings in emergency measures to prevent prison overcrowding — as people continue to be jailed for their part in the recent riots. the democratic national convention opens in chicago — joe biden will address the conference tonight and later this week, kamala harris will formally accept the party's nomination

as its presidential candidate. president zelensky says his troops control more than twelve hundred kilometres of russian territory, as ukraine's incursion into the kursk region continues. we take a look at how moscow might respond. a search is continuing for 6 people missing after a british luxury yacht sank in a freak storm off sicily early this morning. there were 22 people on board — 15 were rescued, one person is confirmed as having died. among those still unaccounted for is the tech entrepreneur mike lynch and his 18 year old daughter. it's thought the yacht may have been caught in what's known as a waterspout — a tornado which hits over water rather than land. our correspondent mark lowen has more from sicily. after the rescue, the retrieval.

the sea giving up lives it snatched away. since the early hours, emergency teams have been scouring the site from the air and on the water where the yacht sank. 15 of the 22 on board were saved. others, british, american, canadian, weren't so lucky. the wreckage now some 50 metres below water, where the search is focusing. a luxury superyacht that had won awards for its design but that became a death trap. the british flagged bayesian photographed last night of the port of porticello in sicily, before being hit by a heavy storm and a water spout. they are tornado—like clouds, a rotating column of air which in this case smashed the mast and capsized the boat. these pictures nearby show the force of the winds at around 5am. the yacht couldn't withstand them. charlotte golunski, the mother

of a one—year—old who also survived, spoke of holding her daughter above the water with her whole strength. "all i could hear around me", she said, "were the screams of others." a doctor who treated the baby gave an update. translation: a one-year-old child arrived in our paediatric emergency. room in palermo together with her mother. the child is fortunately fine. the mother had injuries that we treated. the father had his wound stitched and he was then reunited with the whole family. the captain of another boat, hailed as a hero for rescuing the 15 at sea, spoke of the nightmare. the other ship, strange enough, it's 55 metres, i think. a 72 metres long mast. they went slap on the water and then down. with a light, we saw that the ship was aside and then we saw a triangle, so i think she went back down.

terrible, terrible moments. yes. in the liferaft was also a baby and the wife of the owner. among those missing is the british multimillionaire tech entrepreneur mike lynch and his 18—year—old daughter, hannah. his wife, angela bacares, who was rescued, is listed as the yacht�*s owner. its chef, ricardo thomas, is also unaccounted for. as the underwater search goes on, the fear is that bodies will be found trapped inside the submerged wreckage. of those holidaying at sea, suddenly engulfed by freak weather that smashed what stood in its wake. sam and jack explains what is significant together mike lynch isn't technology field. mike lynch has been considered a giant of uk business for nearly three decades. a cambridge phd student who built a cutting edge technology company before selling it for £9 billion

to american giant hp, who later accused the company of inflating their profits. that kicked off over a decade of legal wrangling that saw him extradited in handcuffs to the us to face fraud charges injune. he walked free and less than three weeks ago described the moment the usjury acquitted him. it's very hard to describe the moment you're reliant on 12 ordinary people until you hear the words you can't call it, and at that point it's indescribable. the way in which you jump between two universes. hp still insists it was misled. and in 2018, autonomy�*s chief financial officer was convicted of fraud. but mike lynch is still revered by other british technology founders. mike has always been seen as a legend and a titan, and an inspiring figure for british entrepreneurs. that's because he both understands mathematics deeply and how you can use it to solve business problems.

mike lynch recently said he wanted to get back to doing what he enjoyed most innovating. but tonight there are grave doubts he will get that chance. simon jack, bbc news. and unsuprisingly the story of the sunken yacht is leading the front pages of most of tomorrow's newspapers. the daily telegraph reads — tech tycoon feared dead in family superyacht tragedy. same story in the ft — vindicated tech baron lynch missing after luxury yacht goes down off sicily. likewise in the guardian — british tech boss among missing after superyacht sinks. the times — millionaires in yacht tragedy. and in the express — tycoon and daughter missing in yacht tragedy. same story, different headline in the mirror — hero mum saves baby in sea hell. something entirely different in the daily mail — they've led with �*queen said trump was �*very rude' — that's

according to a new biography. and finally in the i — crime suspects left on streets under �*one—in, one—out�* prison crowding plan. as more people have been sentenced today for their involvement in the recent riots around the country, emergency measures have come in to ease prison overcrowding. police cells will be used to hold defendants before their court appearances until prison space becomes available. the union of the prison officers' association said the most serious offenders would be placed in a jail. daniel sandford has the details. the sunday afternoon when an angry crowd stormed the holiday inn express outside rotherham was one of the worst riots of the last three weeks. today, nathan palmer and niven matthewman were both jailed for two years, eight months. matthewman was in a group of men attacking this police dog van. the rioting in hartlepool on 31st ofjuly led to donna conniff, a mother of six, being jailed

for two years this morning for, among other things, throwing a brick at police. they are some of around 120 people to have been jailed. at least 200 more are in custody awaiting trial or sentence for the rioting. it meant that today, officials had to adopt emergency measures to stop prisons overflowing, something the prime minister blamed on the previous government. there was a basic failure, which is a failure to have enough prison places for the number of prisoners that were being sentenced to prison. that is about as basic a failure of government from the previous government as you could possibly have got. the overcrowding is a result of decades in which the space in prisons has barely kept up with the number of inmates. on friday, the prison population stood at 87,893, a rise of almost 400 in just a week, largely because of the number of people being jailed

following the widespread disorder. but the prisons crisis began in the 1990s — the prison population has almost doubled since then and is expected to soar past 100,000 in the next three years, far outstripping the number of prison places. under today's emergency measures, some people who are charged will have their magistrates' court cases delayed. in the meantime, they'll be kept in police cells, or given bail. the magistrates' courts are adept at carrying on through the various tribulations the justice system is facing. what i hope is that this latest crisis will mean that there is a serious discussion about what can be done to move to long—term solutions. prison reformers have long argued for a complete change of policy to avoid just lurching from crisis to crisis. sending more and more people into prison is actually not cost—effective, because,

if you provide people with interventions earlier up in the pipeline, addressing the underlying causes of what got them into offending in the first place, you're more likely to have people who address their issues. the current crisis means that ministers had already said that from september, lower risk inmates will be released after they'd servied only 40% of their sentences. a woman has died, and two other people are in hospital with what are believed to be life—threating injuries, after a stabbing in manchester. the woman, named locally as alberta obinim, died at the scene in gorton. a 17 year old girl and a 64 year old man were taken to hospital. a 22 year old man is in custody on suspicion of murder — he's believed to be known to the victims. to the us now where the democratic national convention is getting underway in chicago. this is the scene live at the convention will offically

confirm kamala harris as the party's presidential candidate. protesters continue are continuing to gather around the event — they're demonstrating over issues including israel's war in gaza, immigration, abortion rights and criminaljustice reform. but this convention is a far cry from what organisers had planned just a month ago — when president biden was still the democratic party's nominee for november's election. it will be a bitter sweet moment for him when he addresses the convention in the next couple of hours. let's speak to our chief presenter sumi somaskanda in chicago. just give us a sense of what the mood is there there's been a huge uptick in momentum for kamala harris. . . �* . uptick in momentum for kamala harris. , . �*, ., , , harris. yes, that's absolutely ri . ht. harris. yes, that's absolutely right. there's _ harris. yes, that's absolutely right. there's a _ harris. yes, that's absolutely right. there's a lot _ harris. yes, that's absolutely right. there's a lot of - harris. yes, that's absolutely - right. there's a lot of excitement here in chicago for that you get a sense that the delegates have been trickling into the seats and onto the floor. all day we've noticed

that, a lot of enthusiasm, people want to stick it up and get going, this convention running the entire week. as you mentioned, a far cry from the situation the democrats are facing just a few weeks ago when president biden was still planning to run for reelection. now this race has turned to kamala harris facing off against donald trump. the enthusiasm that has built around her, not only reflected in the first polls that have come out but also among delegates and the party itself. those who are represented here in chicago. there's about 50,000 visitors six acted at this convention, about 4000 delegates they went to the official process of nominating kamala harris virtually. they did that head of the convention but there will be in the entire ceremony this week as they honour kamala harris as their nominee today the focus will be on president biden himself for the this will be an opportunity for the party, the

delegates to honour his legacy and his service as president. that's what we're expecting to see for many of the speakers tonight, including the first ladyjill biden. some of joe at its closest ally, also hillary clinton, former secretary of state we're expected to see a warm welcome forjoe biden when he takes the stage. it’s welcome forjoe biden when he takes the state. 3 . welcome forjoe biden when he takes thestaue. h , welcome forjoe biden when he takes the state. i , . the stage. it's been reported that joe's biden _ the stage. it's been reported that joe's biden will— the stage. it's been reported that joe's biden will make _ the stage. it's been reported that joe's biden will make a _ the stage. it's been reported that joe's biden will make a forward, l joe's biden will make a forward, optimistic speech. it is bound to be personally quite difficult for him in some sense, even though he must be relieved, i guess at the momentum that kamala harris is getting. i’m that kamala harris is getting. i'm cluessin that kamala harris is getting. i'm guessing it's _ that kamala harris is getting. in guessing it's a sense of both. he is relieved that the pressure in all of the turmoil that was swirling around the turmoil that was swirling around the democratic party in the weeks before he decided to drop out of this race has not been relieved, it injected this incredible juice this race has not been relieved, it injected this incrediblejuice into the democratic party and into kamala harris's campaign. with her running mate tim walz. a key adviser for

president biden has said this is not to be a speech about legacy, this is going to be about getting kamala harris elected. president biden wanted his entire career to resist post as president. he did so, he has served and by the metrics of this party a very successful president. it simply could not continue because of the pressure from the party in the polls where they stood i think you're right that this is going to be a bit of a bittersweet moment for president biden. i think we will hear that reflected in his speech. he has in his own words called it the greatest honour to serve this country as president. we will see how the coming months ago for him. today one of the few moments he will have to address the country at his party a. have to address the country at his .a a. ., , have to address the country at his .a a. .,y ., ,, party a. hillary clinton speaking toniuht, party a. hillary clinton speaking tonight. one — party a. hillary clinton speaking tonight, one of the _ party a. hillary clinton speaking tonight, one of the first - party a. hillary clinton speaking tonight, one of the first female | tonight, one of the first female nominees to run up against donald trump. as reading about a lot of collaborative relation between the

her running mate speak on wednesday and other key figures who are important for the democratic party and some of the big issues that they want to highlight. things like reproductive rights, making sure that the economy is strong and also the us position abroad. all of that as you say, really important for kamala harris as she gives a speech at the end of the week for the all eyes will be on her. i5 at the end of the week for the all eyes will be on her.— eyes will be on her. is she likely to ultimately — eyes will be on her. is she likely to ultimately try _ eyes will be on her. is she likely to ultimately try to _ eyes will be on her. is she likely to ultimately try to focus - to ultimately try to focus that speech on the key swing voters? even though the polls look like they have narrowed they are still incredibly close. , . , . ., narrowed they are still incredibly close. , . , . . ., close. they really are. have our editorial partners _ close. they really are. have our editorial partners cbs _ close. they really are. have our editorial partners cbs news, i close. they really are. have our. editorial partners cbs news, their poll released today show in the battleground states it is a dead heat between kamala harris and donald trump. being able to flip these battleground states, the states in the midwest like michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania and other battleground states, arizona, nevada, georgia and north carolina are being considered one of those states that might be up for grabs.

that is critical for kamala harris. we're looking closer at the map of the us, the pathway that each of these candidates would be able to win in november. for kamala harris, especially those three midwestern states, michigan, wisconsin, will be critical for that will likely to see an message from her directed toward those voters in the states for the economic message on bringing down inflation, relieving families, that's why we've seen her and bail the economic policy, including attacks credit for her children, down payments for first psalms, all very much focused on trying to appeal to those voters with the democrats and catholic harrises campaign know they need their support to be able to win in november. support to be able to win in november-— support to be able to win in november. . . . support to be able to win in november. ,, . . ., november. sumi somaskanda in chicago at the convention. _ november. sumi somaskanda in chicago at the convention. thank _ november. sumi somaskanda in chicago at the convention. thank you _ november. sumi somaskanda in chicago at the convention. thank you so - november. sumi somaskanda in chicago at the convention. thank you so much i at the convention. thank you so much for that we will talk again this week. it's going to be an absolutely fascinating few days there in chicago. meantime, the us secretary of state anthony blinken says israel has accepted what he called an american

"bridging proposal" for a ceasefire deal in gaza. he said it was now up to hamas to agree to it. mr blinken has been meeting israeli leaders including the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, in tel aviv. for president biden, there's a deep sense of urgency in getting this done and i also hear that throughout this country, as well as throughout the region. it's the single best way not only to get the hostages home, to ease the suffering of people in gaza, it's also the best way to make sure that conflict doesn't spread, that we don't see escalation. the bbc has uncovered testimony from what may be one of the worst incidents of mass killings in myanmar�*s civil war. on august 5th, eyewitnesses say hundreds of civilians from the rohingya muslim community were bombed as they tried to flee. it's the latest deadly violence against them — in 2017, hundreds were killed in what was described by the un as ethnic cleansing by the country's military. in recent months, scores

of rohingya muslims have been killed and thousands have fled to bangladesh — but now they say they're also being attacked by the other side, those fighting the military, the rebel group arakan army. our correspondent yogita limaye reports from the border at teknaf in bangladesh — her report contains distressing images, including of people who died as a result of the attack. across the river naf, rakhine state in myanmar. hidden from the world, deadly violence is unfolding there against rohingya muslims. chilling accounts trickling in from those who've managed to escape to bangladesh. until two weeks ago, this man was a wealthy trader with a family in myanmar. now, he's alone, hiding in a hut. if caught, he could be sent back by bangladeshi authorities.

he and his family were part of these crowds, fleeing their homes on the 5th of august. in videos verified by the bbc, women, children, the elderly — seen rushing to the banks of the river to save themselves. the trader says it was by the shore in an open space where arakan army, an ethnic insurgent group, dropped bombs on unarmed rohingyas using drones. translation: we heard a loud sound and an explosion. - we were thrown on the ground. i, my wife, my mother, my daughter, son and sister were there when the bomb struck. all of them died. i don't know why i survived. my daughter died in my arms. he showed us a video he found online

of the aftermath of the bombing. he sobs. "all of the people here have died", a man cries. distressing to watch, but it's crucial evidence of what appears to be a massacre. the ground covered with bodies — many of them children. the trader told us this is his wife... ..fatally injured but alive. he wasn't able to carry her out. she died later. translation: my heart is broken. i'll never go back to myanmar. i saw more than 200 bodies. arakan army doesn't want to leave any muslim alive. those who've escaped are hiding

in these camps in bangladesh. built back in 2017, when a million rohingyas fled brutal violence carried out by myanmar�*s military. now, the junta's troops are being pushed out of the rakhine by arakan army. but for the rohingyas, that has not brought hope of a return to their land. instead, it's renewed fears. in the past week alone, thousands have paid boatmen and armed traffickers to take them to safety. this video, filmed by a rohingya man. not a long journey, but it's fraught with risks. more than a dozen have drowned. these crudely marked shallow graves are where some of the bodies that washed ashore are buried. she sobs. among them were five

of this woman's children. rosmah, aziz, faisal rozia and bilkis rani. "my children were like pieces of my heart. after my husband died, i raised them with so much difficulty. when i think of them, i feel like i want to die. i miss them so much", she told us. this is her grandson. both his parents and his younger brother have died. "the arakan army attacked us with drones. "we heard nine bombs fall while we were hiding", the woman told us. "later, we had to run across bodies on our way to the river." in the alleys of these camps, we've heard from more than a dozen survivors — all of whom have said they were deliberately attacked by the arakan army.

in response to the bbc, the group has said that the attack happened in an area which is not under their control, and they have no connection to it. the arakan army has been making rapid advances in the rakhine state. it's projected itself as a resistance group that's fighting on behalf of the people against the militaryjunta. but from what we've heard here now, it faces credible accusations of the mass killings of civilians. there are calls for it to be investigated for war crimes. this family was also caught in the drone attacks, their baby boy killed. in a corner, their daughter, running a high fever after two days spent on a boat without food or water before they could slip into bangladesh. the man told us, "rohingyas are being forcibly conscripted "and persecuted by both sides." translation: we are beingj targeted by the arakan army and the myanmar military.

they are killing us almost every day. we are helpless. these are the only images they have of their baby — one of scores of rohingyas killed indiscriminately. the dead uncounted, their stories undocumented. yogita limaye, bbc news, teknaf. it's the final week of edinburgh festival fringe in scotland. our reporter meghan owen has spent the day there and caught up with the black blues brothers. we've been speaking to some of the acts, a huge international pastoral and the biggest art festival for that where joined by the black blues brothers, a special take on the

blustery showers, particularly up towards the north west of the uk, closest to the centre of this area of low pressure. a lot of white lines. a lot of isobars squeezing together, indicative of some brisk winds. starting tuesday morning, with this frontal system bringing a little bit of rain across the far southeast that will clear. and then we're into that mix of sunny spells and hefty showers, the showers most plentiful across northern ireland and northern and western parts of scotland. some heavy thundery ones blown in on some brisk winds. in fact, increasingly windy across northern ireland, western scotland, the northwest of england. just 14 degrees for stornoway and 16 for belfast. compare that with 23 in norwich and then through tuesday night while things do quieten down briefly, a ridge of high pressure killing off most of the showers, giving some clear spells and it is going to be a rather cool, fresh night, some places down into single digits. but as we head through wednesday, all change again. a frontal system bringing cloud

and outbreaks of heavy rain through northern ireland into western scotland,
