this is bbc news, the headlines. king charles is to visit southport later in the wake of the knife attack that claimed the lives of three children. the israeli defence forces say they have retrieved the bodies of six hostages from khan younis in southern gaza. one of them was a dual british israeli national. that comes as the us secretary of state, antony blinken, arrives in egypt to continue his push for a ceasefire. divers in italy try to access the wreckage of a luxury yacht that sank off the coast of sicily in a freak storm yesterday. "america, i gave my best to you" — the words of a tearful president biden, as he says farewell to democrats. his vice president, kamala harris, is expected to be formally confirmed as the party's presidential candidate during the four—day event. let's return to one of our top stories — the king's visit to southport.

he's making the trip in the wake of the knife attack that claimed the lives of three children. elsie dot stancombe, bebe king and alice dasilva aguiar were stabbed to death at a taylor swift—themed dance class last month. let's speak to the bbc�*s former royal correspondentjennie bond. this is going to be, from our understanding, a very private meeting for his majesty the king and those directly affected, and incredibly poignant moment? yes. those directly affected, and incredibly poignant moment? yes, i think it is something _ incredibly poignant moment? yes, i think it is something the _ incredibly poignant moment? yes, i think it is something the king - incredibly poignant moment? yes, i think it is something the king has i think it is something the king has been hinting he might do ever since that southport atrocity. he issued such a strong statement afterwards, praising the compassion of the many against the aggression of the few. those were strong words, not political words but true and

factually correct words and he got some criticism for issuing such a hard—hitting statement. at the king has always, through his life, been about unity, harmony. harmony in society, harmony in nature but particularly unity in our motto the cultural society this century, that is what is right for. —— our multicultural society. so people want to pay his personal tribute to the people who suffered so terribly in southport. but he has waited until now because what the royals never want to do is add to the security burden in the wake of an attack like this, so he has bided his time and now here is breaking his time and now here is breaking his holiday in balmoral and he will be going to southport and privately meeting some of the survivors of the attack. it is not clear if he will meet some of the parents of the girls who died but those meetings will be private. then he will be meeting emergency services representatives and members of the community and i think it will be a bit of walkabout probably outside the town to greet the general

liverpool more than a0 years ago. the tottenham riots in 2011, he was there again. comforting people, saying what can be done, listening to people, because this was, these rights in the previous ones were more than just about race, there are a lot of issues here and he wants to listen to them and what he can do is perhaps draw public attention to them, maybe draw attention from those who have influence as well. but more than anything i think he just wants to show that he is a caring monarch, he is notjust going to sit up there in his castle in scotland and not care about what is happening. he cares very, very deeply. happening. he cares very, very deel . �* happening. he cares very, very deel. �* . ., , happening. he cares very, very deel.�* . .,, ., deeply. and after the riots that we saw across — deeply. and after the riots that we saw across england _ deeply. and after the riots that we saw across england and _ deeply. and after the riots that we saw across england and northern i saw across england and northern ireland following those horrific stabbings, the king himself really called for unity, and i guess once

again, we will hear him potentially say that during the public part of what we are expecting to happen today a little bit later on in southport following the private meetings? i southport following the private meetinus? ., �* ~' southport following the private meetinus? ., �* ~ , meetings? i don't think he will be makin: meetings? i don't think he will be making any _ meetings? i don't think he will be making any grand _ meetings? i don't think he will be making any grand statements, i l meetings? i don't think he will be - making any grand statements, i think it will bejust making any grand statements, i think it will be just holding out his hands... eversince it will be just holding out his hands... ever since he has had his cancer treatment, we seem to have noticed more the compassionate side of him, he is more touchy—feely, there will be hugs and maybe kisses, holding of hands. i mean, that's really what he's doing, is there to hold the hands figuratively and in reality to the people of southport who have suffered so much. and he is following in the footsteps of his mother to an extent but he is taking it further. the queen did not issue public statements like this very often, in the way that charles has. she did go to dunblane after the offer must occur at the school there

and she went to manchester after the er in and she did speak to some of the survivors of that and the parents, and she did say privately to them that it was absolutely wicked. but the king has taken things a step further and has quickly put out very blunt hard—hitting statements, and i think he's absolutely right to do so. we will of course monitor that as and when his majesty the king does arrive in southport. for the time being, jennie bond, thank you so much for your time. being, jennie bond, thank you so much foryourtime. holding being, jennie bond, thank you so much for your time. holding the hand of a nation. thank you for those words. new figures released this morning reveal the number of drug—related deaths in scotland rose to 1,172 last year. the death rate remains much higher than when comparable records began in 1996 and means scotland continues to have a far higher rate of recorded drugs deaths

than other european countries, including england and wales. let's speak to news correspondent katie hunter in glasgow, who can explain these figures in more detail. just talk us through these new figures. just talk us through these new fi . ures. ~ ., just talk us through these new fiaures. ~ ., , ., _ figures. well, to start by giving ou a bit figures. well, to start by giving you a bit of— figures. well, to start by giving you a bit of context. _ figures. well, to start by giving you a bit of context. back - figures. well, to start by giving you a bit of context. back in . figures. well, to start by giving - you a bit of context. back in 2020, there were a record number of drug deaths in scotland, more than 1300 people lost their lives in just one year. the following years, the figures started to fall so there was some hope that maybe the tide was turning, but as you say, these latest figures show that in 2023, 1172 people died, that was an increase of 121 on the previous 12 months. of course, behind every death, there was a ripple effect, friends, families and communities across scotland are affected. so while the will of course be

disappointment that figures today have shown a rise in the number of drug deaths, i don't think that was unexpected, think that many people were expecting the figures for 2023 to show that there had been a rise. so they followed trends, then? weill. so they followed trends, then? well, some trends — so they followed trends, then? well, some trends that _ so they followed trends, then? well, some trends that have _ so they followed trends, then? well, some trends that have come - so they followed trends, then? -ii some trends that have come out of the report on opiates and opioids such as heroin, morphine, methadone, they were implicated in 80% of all deaths. when we are talking about scotland's drug death rices, experts often mention poverty and the data revealed that people living in the most deprived areas of scotland were more than 15 times as likely to die from drug misuse than those from the least deprived areas of scotland. the report also confirmed that new psychoactive substances such as enzo dazza been causing significant dangers and people might have heard about mrs innes, they are synthetic opioids, really strong drugs that

are causing problems notjust a scuttlebutt across the uk, deaths these drugs rose from just one to 23 in the space of 12 months. find these drugs rose from just one to 23 in the space of 12 months.— in the space of 12 months. and have we had any — in the space of 12 months. and have we had any reaction _ in the space of 12 months. and have we had any reaction from _ in the space of 12 months. and have we had any reaction from the - we had any reaction from the scottish government? irate we had any reaction from the scottish government? we have a statement from _ scottish government? we have a statement from the _ scottish government? we have a statement from the scottish - statement from the scottish government in the last hour or so. the health secretary neil gray has said the level of drug misuse deaths remains hugely concerning. he pointed towards what he calls the scottish government's £250 million national mission. this includes opening a new drug consumption facility in glasgow later this year and that will allow people to go and take their own drugs under supervision. the scottish government says it is also improving access to residential rehabilitation and widening access to treatment and support. mr gray says the scottish government will intensify its efforts to respond to the growing threat from highly dangerous super strong opioids like knitter scenes

that i mentioned earlier. but there is no doubt that the figures today will shine a new spotlight on the scottish government's efforts to reduce harm and ultimately to reduce the number of people dying from drugs in scotland.— the number of people dying from drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for brinuain drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for bringing those _ drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for bringing those new _ drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for bringing those new figures - drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for bringing those new figures to - drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for bringing those new figures to us - drugs in scotland. katie, thanks for| bringing those new figures to us and bringing those new figures to us and bringing us the context as well. a gay british—mexican man who spent aa days in prison in qatar has warned other lgbt people to "be careful" when visiting the country. manuel guerrero avina, who was convicted on drug offences, was arrested earlier in the year after arranging to meet a man on gay dating app grindr. he later found out the man was an undercover police officer. homosexuality is criminalised in qatar, and same—sex relationships can be punishable by the death sentence. let's speak to our reporterjosh parry. for those who haven't been following the story, can you bring us up to date with what has happened so far?

manuel guerrero avina is a british mexican citizen and he had been living peacefully in qatar without getting in any trouble with the police for around seven years. he is a 93v police for around seven years. he is a gay man and as you say, homosexuality is illegal in qatar. but he said he had been living along with other lgbt p dollar people have been able to live there as long as they do so privately behind closed doors and it would go unpunished. in february this year he was using gay dating apps to speak to a man he had met online and arranged to meet him at his flat, and when the man arrived it turned out it was actually part of an undercover police operation and manuel was arrested and spent aa days in a qatari prison. he says that while there are, he underwent some horrendous conditions, he claims he saw people being whipped on their backs, he says he was pressured into

handing over his phone and they asked him to report other lgbt people, something he refused to do, then injune he was convicted on drug charges and given a six—month suspended sentence, a fine of £2100 suspended sentence, a fine of e2100 and was given a deportation order also. qatari officials say this is solely related to drugs and that his sexuality had no impact on their decision to arrest him but international human rights organisations and the un's special working group that looks at arbitrary detentions has raised concerns about this case, they say that you have concerns about the qatari authorities�* motivation for the arrest and also about whether or not manuel got a fair trial. he has returned to the uk for medical treatment and is now travelling to see family back in mexico to rest and recuperate for a few weeks but i had an interview with him. what and recuperate for a few weeks but i had an interview with him.— had an interview with him. what did he share with _ had an interview with him. what did

looking forward to returning to his career, he wants to get a new —— mikey has got a newjob in the airline industry and his really looking forward to the future. it is important to say that qatari officials strongly deny the allegations that this arrest was around his sexuality, they say that it was solely for the position of an illegal substance and at —— and that no other factors were taken into account when making the arrest. they also said manuel was treated with dignity and respect during his detention and arrest and accused his family of making false claims in order to build public sympathy for his case. now he is back in mexico, we are expecting he will be part of a press conference there and that will be around midnight uk time today. will be around midnight uk time toda . , .,, will be around midnight uk time toda ., ., , will be around midnight uk time toda. ._ ., will be around midnight uk time toda ._ ., ., today. josh, many thanks for brinuain today. josh, many thanks for bringing us — today. josh, many thanks for bringing us that _ today. josh, many thanks for bringing us that interview - today. josh, many thanks forl bringing us that interview that manuel v, the first since the incident happened. the government is encouraging pensioners to check their eligibility for pension credit, to see if they�*ll receive this year�*s winter fuel payment. it comes following a change by the labour government which means

those who don�*t receive pension credit or other means—tested benefits will no longer get the annual payments, worth up to £300. from westminster, our political correspondent harry farley has more. there is a concern in government and across age—related charities that around 800,000 people are thought to be eligible for this benefit, pension credit, but are not claiming it, either because of confusion as to whether they are in fact eligible, or because they don�*t know how to claim it. so the government is launching this drive to encourage people to check if they are eligible — they say that if your weekly income is less than £218 for a single person or £332 for a couple and you are a pensioner, it is worth checking to see if you are eligible. and this all relates to, as you were saying, the decision to means—test the winter fuel payment, so that is a payment that pensioners are eligible for in the winter

to help them support increased heating costs. the chancellor, rachel reeves, announced that would no longer be universal, it would only go to those claiming pensions credit. but alongside that, she said there would be a push, a drive to encourage people to take up pensions credit because of this concern that so many people are eligible who are not claiming it, and this is part of that drive. harry farley reported. parents are being warned to be vigilant as schoolchildren may be unknowingly smoking vapes laced with the street drug spice, according to an investigation by the university of bath. the synthetic form of cannabis carries dangerous side effects, and now one teenager has spoken to the bbc about how he became addicted to spice at the age of 1a, after using spiked vapes. he�*s been sharing his story with our reporter annabel rackham. i was asking for it so much. it�*s like, ijust feel like a drug addict.

i�*m literally doing itjust so i can feel normal. there still wasn�*t that voice in my head kicking in, like, you shouldn�*t be doing this. i still, like... you couldn't stop. yeah, i couldn�*t stop. this 16—year—old who, along with his mother wishes to remain anonymous, is describing what it�*s like to be addicted to spice, a lab—made drug which is supposed to mimic the effects of cannabis. ifound myself doing it literally every second of the day. were you doing it in class? yeah, i was bringing it to school. like, it was... actually in class, during lessons? yeah, i�*d literally put it in my sleeve. i�*d, like, do that, and then i�*d just use it. see, i didn't know that. he became hooked on the drug for more than a year, buying it in liquid form. i was about to throw this bag away, actually. gradually, my grades started going down because obviously in lessons i was just not paying attention. i was just too busy getting high, like, in class, and then i didn�*t...

ijust was using it to pass the time, kind of. and ijust, i didn�*t see school as any use to me at that point. like, i didn�*t care about grades or any of that. i just cared that i made it out of school. spice, which is responsible for half of all non—natural deaths in prisons, can be more harmful and unpredictable than cannabis, causing dizziness, breathing problems, heart palpitations and seizures. there have been a number of reported hospitalisations of children after using spice vapes in schools, and police forces like this one in devon and cornwall are trying to find ways to identify use in the local community. so we�*ve got an upgrade for you to the device you�*ve got for detecting spice and thc and some other synthetic drugs. with help from the university of bath, they�*re upgrading the kit they use to detect drugs in vapes that have been seized locally, particularly from schools in the area.

we know almost nothing about the effects of spice on children. i think that�*s one of the really concerning things. all of our understanding of what spice does to the human body really comes from people that are in prison or maybe homeless. and when we talk to people that are using spice, they talk about it being the worst drug they�*ve ever used, even outside of heroin. they talk about the withdrawal being really severe. they talk about becoming addicted incredibly quickly. so we have no knowledge about how spice really affects children, particularly in the long term. it�*s a concern for police, too, who want to get across how much danger children who use spice vapes could be putting themselves in. the children are in a vulnerable position to be exploited, bribed and enticed into that gang culture and kind of forced to do things that they wouldn't normally go ahead and do. as part of chris�*s work with the university of bath, he found out of nearly 600 confiscated vapes from schools,

one in six contained spice. he tested vapes from a random selection of 38 schools across london, west midlands, greater manchester and south yorkshire. he couldn't stop, and his friends were even telling their mums that it was bad and so their mums would tell me and i really appreciate that, you know, that... yeah, because it takes a lot of support from friends. sorry, i didn't want to get upset, but it really helped. like all, um, all my friends who are helping out. it was a really bad time. luckily for this family, ben, now 16, was able to beat his spice addiction and start a new chapter. then it clicked to me, like, i didn�*t need it any more. there wasn�*t that voice in the back of my head

you need to buy another one." i kind ofjust wanted to keep it normal after that. after those three weeks. and we had a nice christmas, didn't we, last year? yeah. annabel rackham, bbc news. that report is also on our website. a tearful presidentjoe biden has taken to the stage on the opening night of the democratic national convention in chicago with an emotional farewell speech, in which he told supporters they are "in a battle for the very soul of america". it came as the democratic presidential nominee vice president kamala harris made a brief surprise appearance at the convention — breaking with tradition by appearing on the opening night. typically a candidate gets a popularity bump at the end of a convention — harris had one going into the beginning of it. vice—chair of democrats abroad uk john scardino shared his thoughts about last night with us.

you�*ve seen the outpouring of support for kamala harris, ever since it was announced that president biden was not going to be running and he endorsed her. we have seen that here among democrats abroad uk, we normally have several hundred new members every month in a presidential election year. now we have had over 1000 just in the few weeks since she was announced as the nominee. so you�*ve also seen the numbers, i�*m sure, about her fundraising which has been incredible, what�*s happening in the shift in the polls, so it�*s been an extraordinary couple of weeks. as you say, typically after a convention, the candidate gets a big boost in the ratings. i don�*t think he saw that with donald trump so much, maybe a little bit. but it is extraordinary that we got such a big boost before the invention and i

expect she will get another one afterwards. it�*s august and in scotland�*s capital city, that means only one thing — it�*s time for edinburgh festival fringe. for three and a half weeks, artists from 58 countries are putting on more than 52,000 performances — from comedy to caberet, and music to magic. this week is the final week and our reporter meghan 0wen is there for us. i�*m here in one of the tiny venues in the centre of edinburgh, it�*s called dance base. and many of the performers who have come to the fringe have taken here to showcase some of their dances. we have been meeting artists during the world�*s largest artistic showcase and they have come from over 50 countries, including the united states. who werejoined by who were joined by ragamala dance company, ashwini and aparna, and you have been performing a 2000 year old traditional south indian dance. talk to us a little bit about the act.

ragamala dance company, zero south indian dance, just one of the many performs as you can see at this year�*s edinburgh fringe. i thanks to meghan and her wonderful guests. now it�*s time for a look at the weather with carol kirkwood. hello again. as we go through the rest of this week, the weather does remain very changeable. there will be heavy rain at times, it�*s going to be very windy at times as well, but today we�*re looking at sunny spells and blustery showers. we�*ve had a couple of weather fronts crossing us, taking some patchy rain — they�*re now moving away. and you can see from the isobars, it is going to be blustery. the strongest winds across the northwest, where we�*ve also got a weather front.

this is where we�*ll see the most frequent showers, some of those heavy and also thundery. but we could see some further showers in northern ireland, northern england, a few getting into wales, a few in the midlands. but as you come south, they�*ll be fewer and further between. temperatures 1a to about 2a degrees. heading on through this evening, we hang on to a few showers, but overnight, many of them will tend to fade. we�*ll see clear skies, still going to be blustery, but the winds will start to strengthen out towards the west, the cloud build and then eventually we�*ll see some rain arrive. 0vernight temperatures falling away between 8 and 11. it�*s going to be a fresher and a cooler night than it was last night. and we start tomorrow with a fair bit of sunshine, just a few showers in the west, but our weather front coming in from the west is going to introduce some heavy rain across scotland and northern ireland, northern england, north wales, eventually into the midlands, and windy with it, push further southwards and eastwards and it�*s likely to be drier with highs here up to 22 celsius. but we�*ll really be seeing

the rainfall amounts, particularly in western scotland, mounting up. there�*s more rain coming in as we head on into thursday, some heavy rain pushing southwards as we go through the course of the day. another windy day wherever you are on thursday, and behind this band of rain, we see a return to bright spells, sunshine and showers. these black circles represent the strength of the wind gusts, so you can see what i mean. temperature wise, 1a in the north to 22 as we push down towards the south east. then from thursday into friday, our next area of low pressure with its fronts comes in from the atlantic, pushing northwards and eastwards, introducing yet more wet and windy conditions. so on friday, it does look like we�*re going to see that rain, heavy in places. and then as we head in through the weekend, it does remain unsettled.
