visiting southport. and they have a little preview of an announcement that i think is coming tomorrow from the home office, lock—up and deport more migrants says home secretary yvette cooper and also the telegraph newspaper speculating about what could have led to the sinking of the superyacht with mike lynch on board. and some pictures in the daily mirror of the search on the yacht and something totally different sven—goran eriksson the former england football boss saying my good bike and he says, were all scared of dying but i've lived a good life and then something totally different, brits without a new eu visa face being turned away at airport in 20 defined. that is the new eu policy for next year of introducing a kind of electronic non—visa before you can go on holiday to the continent.

that's all. it was cultural event of the the summer, entertaining hundreds of thousands who were there and bringing joy to millions more but tonight is my last newsnight as well as the finale of taylor swift's uk tour. newsnight�*s political editor nick watt will be bringing some bangers tomorrow. until then goodnight. live from london. this is bbc news specialist divers have recovered the body of a chef working on board a luxury yacht which sank in a freak storm off sicily. six people are still missing. and these new cctv images appear to show the vessel in the middle of a violent storm, before the tragedy.

asjoe biden bids an emotional farewell at the democratic national convention, we'll have all the very latest from chicago as former president barack obama prepares to take to the stage later this evening. king charles meets emergency service workers in southport — where three young girls were fatally stabbed at a dance class last month. and it's the end of an era as taylor swift takes to the stage at wembley for her final london performance. hello, i'm samantha simmonds. the search will resume in the morning for six people him still missing after a luxury yacht sank off the coast of sicily on monday morning. the missing include the british tech entrepreneur, mike lynch, and the chairman of the investment bank, morgan stanley international, jonathan bloomer. a body believed to be that of the yacht�*s chef, recaldo thomas, has been recovered and fifteen others were rescued. mark lowen has the latest.

the moments before the tragedy. cctv released tonight shows the storm lashing the sicilian coast, where the bayesian was moored in the early hours of monday. as the deluge deepens, clouds hide the yacht from view. some time later, it was no more. for a second day, the rescuers returned, plunging into the depths to reach the horrors below. divers seeking what has been swallowed up by the sea. the wreckage lying isoft underwater, and trapped inside, probably, the bodies of the missing. given how deep it is, each dive can only last ten minutes before the team must resurface. translation: the biggest difficulty is getting into the ship because - once inside, following the path, you can begin searching room by room. and this is what they're trying to access — the bayesian's cabins. an old video shows what was a gleaming superyacht, now a sunken coffin.

the world's tallest aluminium mast snapped from the tornado—like waterspout, which engulfed the boat within minutes. today, more of the 15 survivors left hospital, including the parents of one—year—old sophie emsley, rescued at sea, shielded from the public glare. the body of the chef recaldo thomas was found yesterday. six are still missing — the british tech tycoon mike lynch and his 18—year—old daughter hannah, his lawyer chris morvillo and wife neda, and the head of morgan stanley international, jonathan bloomer, and his wife judy. all celebrating mr lynch's recent acquittal on us fraud charges. well, still, you can seejust how choppy the water is from the winds that continue to buffet the sicilian coast. a weather alert had reportedly been issued before the capsizing due to the searing heat and violent storms, and the investigation will now partly focus

on what could have been done on board the yacht, such as closing hatches to mitigate that risk. it's even taken those who know these waters well by surprise. giovanni aleccia has owned his boat club here for 28 years on the other side of the bay, and he's stunned. translation: the waterspout passed here, too, and threw _ cushions into the air. but nobody could imagine what would happen to the yacht. i've never seen anything like it. the water has warmed so much that this weather tragedy became possible. it worries me, of course — this is no longer the sicily of 20 years ago. and so the search goes on. but any hope of survival in a mediterranean miracle has all but gone. which shows the two faces of all the

mast was finished water, the rest of the ship was largely intact for quick access to this extremely difficult to have managed to get inside the vessel is now changing for the captains will find the bodies, probably because of the 60s, like this disaster hits. divers are still trying to enter the wreckage of the submerged yacht, but with the boat still largely intact on the sea bed it's hard to get access inside. the search will resume in the morning but what do we know about those who are still missing? clive myrie has more. mike lynch, the british tech entrepreneur, is among those still unaccounted for. the theory is he may be trapped in his cabin. his 18—year—old daughter hannah is also missing. when you turn on the television and see the pictures, how horrible it all was, and when they are people you know, it really does come home, how dreadful it must be for them

as a family. he was so approachable. you might think that with all that money that he would be difficult to talk to but in fact he was a very easy person to talk to and chat. also missing is his lawyer, chris morvillo, and wife, neda. along with the head of morgan stanley international, jonathan bloomer and his wife, judy. again, divers believe the yacht sank before they could escape their cabin. we are just terribly sad for the family. we are coping the best we can and we are alljust supporting each other. he was my elder by half an hour so it means a lot when you lose a twin brother. one body has been recovered, that of the chef aboard the bayesian, recaldo thomas, one of the ten crew members on board. he had nothing but love for everyone. he would give you the shirt off of his back if he could.

you're going to be missed so much, buddy. but, you know, we'll see you on the other end and i speak for everyone, we love you, we love you so much. the search resumes at first light but the coastguard says hopes have all but disappeared of finding anyone alive. there was appalling weather off the sicilian coast, before the sinking of the bay—zien. witnesses described seeing a waterspout, or a tornado over the water. but how common are they, and could the design of the yacht have contributed to the sinking? here's pallab ghosh. it was plain sailing for the bayesian in this promotional video made 15 years ago. its italian makers showing off its sleek design and luxurious interiors, all of which are now under the sea. the bayesian is one of the largest sailing yachts ever built, 56m long, and it has the second tallest

sailing mast ever built at 72m. its sails would have been down overnight, but some experts have said that because the mast was so tall, it might have caught the high windsjust like a sail, and they speculate that this might have helped tip the vessel over. they also wonder whether the yacht�*s keel, which is a flat blade sticking into the water for balance, was retracted and so affected its stability. reports from the survivor was that the sinking happened in a matter of minutes. we now have reports from the divers that the vessel is pretty much intact, so that very much hints at extreme winds on a rather large sized rig causing the vessel to keel over and then most likely start taking on water, which would then lead to a very fast sinking.

but aren't these superyachts built to withstand being able to tilt over as much as 90 degrees, and then bob back up? with very strong winds, the vessel can go further than 90 degrees, at which point you would obviously be taking on very large amounts of water through a number of the openings that you have on the vessel. the key factors were the ferocity of the winds and, possibly, a waterspout like this one, that struck the vessel. they're like tornadoes, but occur at sea, gathering mist and moisture. they have narrow columns just a few tens of metres — twisting, powerful and life threatening. 18 waterspouts were reported off the coast of italy on august 19th alone. experts say that the higher than average sea temperatures might have made them especially powerful. the big question is, is the waterspout in its own right enough? given you had a thunderstorm, given you had a very tall mast pushing up into those thunderstorm clouds, and we don't know the details, and it's not until the vessel's been investigated, hopefully recovered, that we'll learn the true story of what went on. but it is possible that this intensive tornado, this waterspout, did capsize the vessel.

investigators hope to know soon what sent the bayesian down so suddenly and if there are lessons to learn to prevent such accidents from happening in the future. pallab ghosh, bbc news. now for a look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. the daily express is leading with the sunken superyacht — a video shows the yachts final moments. ditto for the daily telegraph — probe into �*hatches left open' on doomed superyacht. also in the daily mail — �*could anyone still be alive?�* in the i — brits without new seven pound eu visa face being turned away at airport in 2025. in the ft — reeves plans above—inflation rise in social rents to boost house—building. similar in the guardian — reeves plans tax rise amid alarm over �*black hole'. in the times — pm warned: empowering unions will stifle growth. finally, the mirror leads with: �*sven — my goodbye' about former england football manager

for a ceasefire so that both sides can proceed to the implementation of a peace deal. mr blinken reaffirmed that the us would not agree to any long—term occupation of gaza by israeli troops. meanwhile, israel's opposition leader has urged mr netanyahu to agree to an immediate ceasefire deal in gaza before all the israeli hostages there die. yair lapid accused the prime minister of attempting to sabotage negotiations. earlier, the israeli military recovered the bodies of another six captives from khan younis. the men had been abducted during the hamas attacks on october the seventh. lucy williamson reports from jerusalem. and set the tone is, his forces found the bodies of israeli hostages and brought them home. six bodies recovered. their names confirmed by the's commanding officer. �*s. said

and the disorder that followed. danny savage has more. cheering and applause. there was a warm welcome for the king in southport today. his first stop was to look at the messages and tributes left outside the town hall since the awful events here last month. he then signed a book of condolence after a meeting with some of those injured in the attack. among them wasjohn hayes, who was stabbed when he tried to intervene. what was it like to meet the king? fabulous. it was lovely to meet him. ifound him quite engaging, quite easy to talk to. i think most people said the same. it was lovely. does it mean something when he comes here to hear first hand himself about what happened, rather than second or third hand? absolutely. i mean, i think he only arrived in balmoral yesterday so for him to come all the way to southport today to see people is fabulous. so, very kind of him. and i'm sure everybody that met him will have got a lift from that. hundreds of people turned out to see the monarch on a visit

which was only made public at 10am. i don't think for a moment people actually expected it, as i say, especially with him being on holiday, so we're absolutely thrilled that he's taken the time out to do it. he just said, "are you southport people? and we said "yes." and he said he's very sorry for what has happened. the king then went on to meet emergency service workers who responded to the attack and the unrest afterwards. the flowers and tributes outside southport town hall here are so well organised. every night, volunteers collect all the soft toys to protect them from the weather and then put them out again during the daytime. there is a real pride in what they are doing here after the awful, devastating events, and people are deeply grateful that the king came here today. the king didn't meet the families of the three girls who died in the attack. they are having a private audience with him in london tomorrow. danny savage, bbc news, southport.

(pres)africa's main public health agency has announced plans to make africa's main public health agency has announced plans to make ten million mpox vaccines available for use across the continent. new figures show there were more than 14 hundred new cases of the disease across several african nations in the past week. but despite concern about a new variant of the virus triggering a global alert, the world health organisation says the mpox is "not the new covid," as it's spread can be controlled. residents in county down in northern ireland have begun returning home tonight. it's after after bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion on a world war two german bomb. the 83 year old bomb was discovered near a housing development last thursday. a british—mexican man — detained in qatarfor six months on drugs charges — claims he was targeted because he is gay, warning others to be careful when travelling.

manuel guerrero avina was arrested in february after arranging to meet a man he'd met online — who he later found out was an undercover police officer. human rights groups raised concerns about his detention but qatari officials insist he was arrested because of drug offences. he's been talking with our lgbt and identity reporterjosh parry. i'm completely free. i can be, you know, myself. enjoying the freedom of being home. but for the past seven years, manuel has lived in qatar, where it's illegal to be gay. in february, he invited a man he'd been messaging online using the dating app grindr to his apartment. unbeknown to him, it was a fake account ran by undercover police who then arrested him on drugs charges. i go downstairs and, and when i approach the reception of my of my building, it's, i get handcuffed by the by the police that was taken

to to detention and yeah, i stayed there for 44 days. it was horrific to see people being whipped. they were being whipped in the on their backs. and then i was threatened to suffer the same treatment if i did not have a signed confession, a no translator, no lawyer, no access to the embassies. why do you use apps like grindr and tinder to meet men when you know that it's illegal? so i was a bit, you know, on the understanding that it was ok as long as you do it behind doors. manuel was released from prison on the condition he handed over his passport during criminal proceedings. qatari officials say his arrest and subsequent conviction were solely about drugs. i do not accept the charges. and and again, all the questions, all the interrogations were solely focussed on my sexual preferences. they wanted to know since when i've been having sex with whom i've been having sex. if this was a drug case, they would be asking, you know, where did you get the, you know, the substances that they claim they are mine.

but the the case, the full interrogation was about sexual partners. the un, as well as several international human rights organisations and campaigners, including this former british diplomat to qatar, have all raised concerns about the case. just in the last three years, we've dealt with several cases of people who've been arrested and then interrogated without a lawyer. manuel was clearly targeted because he was lgbt. this is what this case has always been about. he was targeted through grindr and app primarily used by the lgbt community. a qatari official told the bbc. manuel was treated with dignity and respect throughout his detention and that his case was solely about illegal drugs, they said mr guerrero avina had lived without any issues for seven years, and that it was only because he became implicated in a drug operation that charges were brought against him. i never thought this would happen to me. it could happen to anyone.

josh parry, bbc news, london. it's the end of an era — or eras — at wembley stadium in london tonight. taylor swift has taken to the stage for her final show of the european leg of the eras tour. tuesday saw the last of eight evenings the artist performed in london acrossjune and august this year — to crowds of 90—thousand plus a night. emer mccarthy has more. taylor swift has wrapped up the european leg of her eras tour at london's iconic wembley stadium. it was her 48th and final european show, her 15th here in the uk alone, and it's certainly been a record breaking tour. back in december, it became the first tour ever to earn more than $1 billion, and it's expected to make more than $2 billion when it wraps up in canada at the end of the year. it hasn't, of course, all been good news. just two weeks ago, all three of her vienna concerts were cancelled due to security threats.

but tonight she really treated her fans before she said so long. london. she brought out florence welch from florence and the machine to sing their duet florida, as well as producer extraordinaire jack antonoff. now, time for the weather with elizabeth. hello there, good evening. some unseasonably wet and windy weather coming up in this forecast. it certainly is going to feel like autumn at times this week, but there will also be some sunshine. lots of blue sky around today, for example, but also some heavy, blustery showers — most of those out towards the north and the west, such as here in the lake district. now, that really sets the scene as we head through the rest of the week, with northwestern areas of the uk bearing the brunt of the worst of the weather, wettest and windiest here. but there will be some sunny spells.

it's looking quite changeable at times, and you can just see that tight squeeze on the isobars out towards parts of western scotland earlier on today. strong gusty winds, a cold front going through, introducing fresher feeling conditions for tonight. so, the skies will clear, the winds will ease down a little. there'll still be a few showers around, but a largely dry start to the day tomorrow, and certainly a cooler one than we saw earlier on this morning. many of our temperatures could drop back into high single figures. so, a mostly dry start to the day on wednesday with some early brightness around, but cloud is thickening from the west and through the morning, we're going to see rain pile in across northern ireland into western scotland. the rainfall totals really starting to rack up here, and that rain will be pushing eastwards across scotland and perhaps as far eastwards as the pennines. some strong, gusty winds, too, and there could be some coastal overtopping, some large waves with high spring tides. but further south, it's

a mostly dry story, butjust turning a lot cloudier — temperatures below the seasonal average. and it's the same again on thursday, more rain on the way, although this time the rain is a lot further south — some humid—feeling air. this system contains the remnants of hurricane ernesto, and that humid air will last longest across parts of east anglia. very windy on thursday across the board, guest of wind of 40—50 miles an hour, potentially. once again, temperatures in the high teens, the low 20s in celsius. so, you can see the tight squeeze on the isobars on thursday. the winds turn a little lighter for most on friday, but still blustery by anyone's standards, and some more heavy downpours of rain as we head through friday. possibly some more rain, too, in the south and the east as we head into friday night and saturday morning. here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the rest of the week. do keep an eye on the forecast. at the moment, it looks like an improving picture through the weekend. bye— bye.
