and stay with us here on bbc news for continuing coverage and analysis from our team of correspondents in the uk and around the world. good evening. four bodies have been brought ashore from the luxury british yacht the bayesian, which sank off sicily on monday. a fifth body has been located inside the vessel. none of the identities have been disclosed, and one passenger is still unaccounted for. divers will tomorrow resume their search of the yacht, which is on its side 160 feet below the surface of the water, after it capsized in a freak storm. from sicily, mark lowen has the latest.

in this awful story, another grimly inevitable chapter — five more bodies found today from the bayesian, all but one taken ashore, transported to mortuaries to be formally identified. it takes to six the number now known to have died as the superyacht sank. one other is still missing. it had been a celebratory holiday for british tech tycoon mike lynch, recently acquitted on fraud charges. 15 were rescued but seven didn't make it out — he and his 18—year—old daughter hannah, his lawyer chris morvillo and wife neda, and jonathan bloomer, the head of morgan stanley, with his wifejudy, along with the yacht�*s chef, recaldo thomas. for a third day, divers had been searching since morning, helped by remote controlled vehicles that could be on the sea bed for several hours — far longer than the ten minutes each dive team is allowed at that depth. they'd been trying to reach deep into the bayesian, lying on its side under water.

rescuers had struggled to get into the cabins where it's thought the missing passengers had been sleeping when the yacht was consumed by a waterspout — a mini tornado that capsized it within minutes. this is the last known footage of the ship, caught on cctv as a violent storm hit the area overnight. some time later, it was swallowed up by the sea. but the questions are still mounting, especially for the experts. rino casilli is one of sicily�*s top ship surveyors, casting off in his own yacht, about a third of the size of the bayesian. he took us out into waters he's been navigating for 30 years and says, for a superyacht to have sunk here within minutes, there must have been serious mistakes. translation: for that amount of water to have flooded in, - it couldn't have been one single error. it must have been many. perhaps a large compartment was left open for a long time. we had a weather warning beforehand, so there should have been two crew taking turns on overnight watch, and it should have been moored in the harbour.

and what of the extreme weather that hit the bayesian? he says it still shouldn't have caused such damage. translation: i've been in a waterspout myself, | while in a much smaller, older wooden boat, and we got through it fine. and i saw other boats next to me at the time whose masts weren't damaged by it. you need to be on alert, but it passes quickly. ijust don't understand it. as we arrived in porticello — the site of the capsizing — the rescue work went on and with it, the search for answers. well, we've reached the spot where the bayesian went down. you can see there the ship of the italian police, and just behind them, the divers who are trying to get down 50m underwater to the sea bed in search of what still evades them. and so it's taking time, but the emergency teams are finally making progress, and the horrors of the dark depths are gradually coming to light. and mark is still there for us this evening.

lots of questions still unanswered this evening. huge questions that will be partly tackled by local prosecutors who have opened an investigation but also by a british team of investigators who are here working with their italian counterparts. how could a ship of this size gone down so quickly questioned were hatches and compartments left open? was the keel properly deployed? this is all made less clear by the fact that despite earlier eyewitness reports that the mast of the ship had been smashed by the waterspout, the rescue team now say that they have bound it largely intact underwater. the emergency team say they believe the fifth body that was found that they will be brought here are sure tomorrow morning and it is probably

a matter of time until they find the sixth remaining missing body and soaked while the rescuers continue to find more of the missing, investigators continue to search for more of the answers and the agonising and time—consuming weight for both goes agonising and time-consuming weight for both goes on.— a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman and three children died following a house fire in bradford. west yorkshire police were called by the fire service to reports of a blaze in the early hours. a 29—year—old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while two girls, aged one and nine, and a five—year—old boy, died after they were taken to hospital. danny savage has more. a mother and her three children, killed in a house fire which has triggered a murder investigation. police this afternoon named them at a news conference close to the scene. on officers' arrival, it was confirmed that a 29—year—old woman named bryonie gawith had died at the scene. three children, named as nine—year—old denisty birtle, five—year—old oscar birtle, and 22—month—old aubree birtle, were taken to hospital, where,

sadly, all three died from their injuries. the street is sealed off after the fire. the family home where it happened is now the scene of a major inquiry in this bradford neighbourhood. what took place here and why? it is, of course, shocking for friends and family trying to come to terms with the sudden death of those they knew. i looked out the window and ijust seen police cars, ambulances, up and down the road. lindsey and her family were awoken by the commotion in the early hours. we came out onto the street, but they wouldn't let us through. and we just wanted to help, basically. and theyjust said, "there's people inside there." i feel sick. ijust...| don't know. i'm just devastated. i could cry. police believe the fire was started deliberately. a 39—year—old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. he was also taken to hospital

with critical injuries. for now, though, the investigation continues, as a community has to explain to its children what's happened to their friends. danny savage, bbc news, bradford. donald trump has held his first outdoor election rally since surviving an assassination attempt last month. the former us president spoke from behind bulletproof glass at the event in north carolina. it comes as the democratic national convention continues, with tim walz due to officially become the candidate for vice president later tonight. and there was an ecstatic reception last night for barack and michelle obama, who gave resounding endorsements of kamala harris's campaign for the white house. sarah smith reports from the convention in chicago. two genuine political celebrities electrified the convention stage. the most popular democrat in america, who also

brought along her husband. a long—standing friend of kamala harris, michelle obama says the party needs to be ready for racist and misogynistic attacks. so if they lie about her, and they will, we've got to do something. if we see a bad poll, and we will, we got to put down that phone and do something. if we start feeling tired, if we start feeling that dread creeping back in, we've got to pick ourselves up, throw water on our face, and what? crowd: do something. thank you. former president barack obama used his speech to mock donald trump, saying he just whines about his own problems and deals injuvenile insults. there's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes. laughter. we do not need four more years

of bluster and bumbling and chaos. we have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. barack obama won election with a message of hope and change, and kamala harris is running a campaign with similarjoyful vibes, which is working this week. this race is going to get a lot tougher before polling day. beaming in from a rally 80 miles away, kamala harris pulled off the neat trick of campaigning in two places at once. good evening, milwaukee. appearing in exactly the same arena that donald trump used for his convention last month — just in case anyone does care about comparing crowd sizes. this is a people powered campaign and together, we will chart a new way forward. there were plenty of fans waiting for donald trump as he swept

into north carolina for his first outdoor rally since the attempt on his life, surrounded by bullet—proof glass screens, complaining about being directly attacked by the obamas, he said his advisers had been urging him to stick to policy and avoid getting personal. he doesn't appear to be taking their advice. should i get personal? cheering. should i not get personal? mild booing. i don't know, my advisers are fired! turn out for what?! democrats are putting the party into politics this week, including a pop—up from rapper lil jon. but they can't get carried away. this race is still neck and neck, with no guarantee they will win. sarah smith, bbc news, chicago. there will be more big names on stage tonight including former president bill clinton and vice

presidential nominee tim walz. we have seen him today taking a look at the state and the podium from where he will introduce himself to his party and to the country really because people don't know that much about him. he is a former teacher, football coach, self—described midwest dad who is bringing a very different energy to this campaign while at the same time, donald trump is still struggling to try to work out how to adapt to these new opponents. sarah, thank you for now, sarah smith in chicago. and nick watt will have more on this on newsnight on bbc two shortly. in the next 30 hours, the biggest speeches of kamala harris and tim walz�*s lives. what do they need to say to win over america? and here in the uk, with the public finances in a worse state than forecast, are tax rises and spending cuts now inevitable? join me on bbc two, bbc news and iplayer at 10:30pm. a murder investigation has been

launched after an amazon delivery driver was killed during an attempted theft of his van. police in leeds found the man unconscious yesterday evening, with members of the public trying to help him. he was given emergency treatment by ambulance staff, but was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. police have appealed for information from anyone who may have witnessed the incident. a man has been killed by an xl bully dog at his home in accrington. david daintree, who was 53, was found dead in what police called a tragic incident. lancashire police said officers had no alternative but to shoot the dog in order to prevent it from causing further injury. more people have been sentenced, following the the recent unrest across parts of the uk. among them, 27—year—old thomas birley today pleaded guilty to arson with intent to endanger life — he had stoked a fire

outside a hotel which housed asylum seekers. our uk affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. the riot at a hotel housing asylum seekers near rotherham was one of the worst of this summer. at one point, some of the angry mob pushed a burning bin up against a doorway, trying to set the building on fire. today, thomas birley pleaded guilty to arson with intent to endanger life. the judge warned him that a life sentence was possible. also at the rotherham riot was peter beard, seen here in the dark blue polo shirt and shorts, repeatedly attacking the line of riot officers trying to protect the hotel. he's a former soldier who served as a peacekeeper in bosnia and kosovo. thejudge said his conduct had been shameful and disgraceful, and jailed him for two and a half years. at the first riot, in southport, police officers were caught

in a vehicle as the mob pelted them with rocks and bins. at one point, luke moran tried to smash their window with a large piece of masonry. the father of three was jailed for three years at liverpool crown court. the judge said it was the worst case he had seen so far. more than 150 people have now been sent to prison for their roles in the riots, including perry fisher, who missed his first court appearance because he went on holiday to dubai. he was jailed for 29 months today for his part in disorder at a hotel housing asylum seekers in aldershot at the end ofjuly. daniel sandford, bbc news. let's get more analysis now with our investigations correspondent daniel de simone. the riots have been characterised as being motivated by far—right narratives and misinformation. some of those involved,

likejohn honey — seen here in a st george's cross t—shirt, attacking a car of romanian men in hull — have been linked to far—right groups. present at the southport riot was a convicted terrorist, matthew hankinson, who'd recently served a prison sentence for being in a banned neo—nazi terror group. but the vast majority of those involved — with hundreds already charged and convicted — have not been previously linked to far—right organisations. that tells us something about modern right—wing extremism — it's anarchic and no longer mainly about poltiical groups and parties, with people forming in looser networks, often online. in the years before the riots, there have been a series of attacks with similar targets, deemed to be terrorism byjudges and the authorities. the murder of muslim grandfather makram ali in a 2017 van attack in london, and this attack on a migrant

processing centre in dover two years ago. the lone attackers were not in formal groups and were radicalised — or triggered by — online material, much like so many of rioters. there were key instigators for the riots, including on social media, but no one organisation or person owned or organised the national unrest — it was broader than that, making it more complex and troubling. key questions now for the authorities will be if dangerous far—right narratives and misinformation are more widespread and mainstream than many would like to think, and what kind of risk that may pose for the future. meanwhile, a man in pakistan, who's been accused of spreading disinformation which is thought to have fuelled the unrest here in the uk, has been arrested on suspicion of cyber terrorism. our pakistan correspondent

caroline davies joins me from islamabad — tell us more. explain more about this, caroline. this man is farhad nassif are connected by a bbc investigation earlier this month to a website called channel three now, which had posted an article giving false information about the alleged southport attacker. that was then cited by multiple posts that went viral and it is thought that information that was false has helped to contribute to the riots. channel three now issued an apology, they took down the article and said

those involved had been fired. in an e—mailfrom those involved had been fired. in an e—mail from the official website, we were told that four nassif was not involved. he has been questioned by police and a source at lahore police has told me that when the police went to speak to him, he told officers he did write that article from information he had seen on social media and had not verified. according to police he also told them he ran the website on his own and police say having looked at his bank accounts, e—mails, social media that at the moment they have yet to

find any evidence he worked with anyone else. police have now filed a case against him, they say in that report they have found devices of his with channel three now�*s social media accounts attached to them and they also say that he told them he had given misleading information to the bbc to divert the blame. investigation continues, including into whether or not else was involved and mr asif is expected to appear in court tomorrow. the king has met the families

of the three young girls killed in the southport knife attack. the meeting was held in private in london. the king had travelled to southport yesterday, where he expressed his sympathy for the people of the town. he met survivors and members of the emergency services, and signed a book of condolence. ten black and asian officers in the metropolitan police have claimed they're racially discriminated against by some of their white colleagues — and that the problem is getting worse. it comes more than a year after the casey review, which said the met was institutionally racist. the force, which is the largest in the uk, said it's working on eliminating racism from its ranks, and is launching an action plan next month. here's our senior uk correspondent sima kotecha. change isn't for everyone. a recruitment campaign for the met police. but you're not everyone. an attempt to boost falling numbers and diversity. change needs you. but we've spoken to ten black and asian officers in britain's largest force who say it's a difficult place. it's an absolutely disgusting organisation to work for. they make fun of my heritage and stereotype me, then say it's a joke. we've heard alarming stories, just over a year on from the casey review, a report that concluded the force was guilty of institutional racism. officers are not supposed to speak to the media, so we've used actors on camera and their voices. they'll treat you like an animal. if they get a whiff that you're looking to progress, they'll find a way of blocking that from happening. i was asked, "you had onions for dinner last night?" implying i smell of curry or something. and then they were laughing. i wish i wasn't coloured because i'm on depression tablets and sleeping tablets to get through working for this place. the met police said it knows it has a problem. for anyone to be left i feeling like that within the metropolitan police service, i'm just so sorry _ we're looking at our professional |standards processes, all the wayj through from vetting, i to when people join us, to vetting those people| within the organisation, making sure we're getting rid - of those people who don't uphold our high standards and values.

you're a white officer, and these are black and brown officers telling me that they're experiencing racism. some of them may think that you being in charge of cultural reform is uncomfortable for them. we're supporting the national police race action plan - with deputy assistant commissioner l dr alison heydari, who is a black. woman, you know, the most senior black female - in policing, nationally. i think that's a really - significant commitment. someone made racist comments about a black officer's hair, and that person was given what they call learning through reflection, which is where they talk through the incident with you and tell you what you should have done. that's not a harsh penalty for racist comments, they're just not sending a no tolerance message. we understand some have been told these comments are just banter, but the officers we've spoken to say racist language has no place at work, especially in the police. but it takes time to change a large organisation, doesn't it? nothing has changed. it's just lip service. there's a sort of "change the record" attitude, you know, like, "we've heard it all before."

it's real, though, because so many people are feeling it. sima kotecha, bbc news, london. the un says that an aid convoy has entered sudan for the first time in four months, taking desperately needed food to people at risk of famine in the darfur region. more than a dozen lorries crossed the borderfrom chad, a week after the military—led government agreed to allow aid in. the army had been keeping the border closed, saying it was trying to stop weapons reaching the rival paramilitary rapid support forces. more than 10 million people have been displaced since the war began in april last year and more than 25 million, more than half the country's population, are facing acute hunger. there are continuing international efforts to get the two sides to meet and agree a ceasefire. police in romania are questioning andrew tate, the controversial social media figure, after raiding his home earlier today

as part of an investigation into alleged crimes, including sex with a minor and money laundering. andrew tate, denies the allegations. a self—described misogynist, he is known for his online content promoting his version of a masculine lifestyle. he's already awaiting trial on charges of rape and human trafficking, which he also denies. here's our eastern europe correspondent sarah rainsford. escorted by armed police, andrew tate, the notorious internet influencer, was taken in for questioning today. what i've done wrong, who knows? surrounded by cameras and protesting his innocence all the way. it followed this early morning raid on the home he shares with his brother in bucharest. police had to scale the walls to get in. the tates had installed steel doors to make life harder. three other properties were raided and searched for ten hours. the man who has a massive online

following, a self—proclaimed misogynist, is already awaiting trial here in romania, charged with human trafficking and rape. now, prosecutors have announced a new investigation, including into sex with a minor and trafficking underage persons. andrew tate denies that. romanian police spent hours searching the tate brothers' home, and they've now spent hours more questioning them here at the serious crime agency. the investigators have made it clear that there are several very serious new allegations, but andrew tate has already dismissed everything on social media as some kind of conspiracy. now, in here, in person, andrew tate learned exactly what he's accused of and that he's being remanded in custody. his lawyer says details of the case aren't being made public yet by prosecutors. mr tate, what do you say about the latest allegations? wait till you see. they say i'm a lover boy.

the mother of my children. we've tricked them into having kids. but he will spend tonight behind bars and prosecutors may apply to keep him there while the investigation continues. sarah rainsford, bbc news, bucharest. england's cricketers returned to test match action today, beginning the first of three tests against sri lanka. the tourists had a disastrous start, but recovered to 236 all out in theirfirst innings. england are 22 without loss in reply. but the day began by honouring the life of england batsman graham thorpe. joe wilson reports from old trafford. test cricket returns at a time when the sport is still processing the loss of one of england's finest players. graham thorpe took his own life earlier this month. it's left a desire both to celebrate his career and to reflect on his death that stretches emotions, especially

for players here who knew him well as a coach and a friend. well, this match began with a wednesday morning crowd with sunshine and without ben stokes, injured and influencing england from there. sri lanka's batters were underprepared, consequently uncertain, and soon 6—3. and then dinesh chandimal got this. out lbw. early in a test match, everyone expects the ball to bounce, including the bowler. well, test match cricket is supposed to test every part of a cricketer�*s ability, but that was tough, and it left sri lanka at lunch on 80—5. dhananjaya de silva batted as the captain with courage and purpose. he made 7a. all the spectators here appreciate a contest. they resisted the weather, breezy and gloomy. only slow bowling permitted. milan rathnayake now took it on, past 50 on his debut, his team beyond 200.

stand—in captain ollie pope had a challenge. he told shoaib bashir to keep going, and rathnayake finally found a fielder. sri lanka were 236 all out. their chance now to bowl. ben duckett for england will bat like that whatever the location or situation. bad light finally curtailed the play. they leave to resume when clouds allow. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. the last elephant in south africa's national zoo has been released into the wild after a0 years in captivity. the bull named charlie was captured from a national park in zimbabwe when just a calf, before being trained to perform tricks at a circus. his new home is a game reserve in south africa's northern limpopo province — and these are pictures of him just before he was set free. scientists in india have confirmed a theory that part of the moon was once covered in an ocean

of liquid molten rock. remnants of magma were discovered by the team's lunar rover that landed on the south pole last august. their evidence supports the theory that when the moon was formed about 4.5 billion years ago, molten rock cooled and floated to the surface. time for a look at the weather.
