the body of the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch has been recovered from the superyacht which sank off the coast of sicily, a source close to his family has told the bbc. the search is continuing for one person who's still missing — believed to be his 18 year old daughter hannah. 0ur correspondent mark lowen reports from sicily. it was to celebrate his acquittal on fraud charges, his rehabilitation in public opinion. mike lynch, bringing togetherfamily and colleagues on his luxury yacht. he never made it off alive. today, a source close to the family said he died when the bayesian sank on monday, and that the final body

still missing is believed to be his 18—year—old daughter, hannah. friends paid tribute to a giant of the tech industry. i knew him at the beginning of the internet, when hardly anyone in britain knew anything about this dawning digital age. and mike was a standout character who raised a tonne of money at a very early stage, and intellectually understood the implications of the internet when, frankly, most people over here were scrambling around. the family ofjonathon blum, the chairman of morgan stanley, and his wifejudy, have now released a statement, describing them as credible people and an inspiration to many after confirming that the couple were among the other six people now known to have died. with the last body to recover, the divers went down for a fourth day this morning, scouring the wreckage on the sea bed. a painstaking search with a painfulaim.

the bayesian is still largely intact 50m underwater. the bodies found so far are believed to have been in the cabins, sleeping when the storm hit. mr lynch is likely to have been in the master suite. his wife survived. the guests were next door, and then, the ten crew — all of them were rescued apart, from the chef. the company that built the bayesian, showing off its portfolio of other luxury yachts online, insists it was utterly safe and that for it to go down in minutes, human error must be to blame. translation: it had | absolutely no problem. it was a model for many other ships because it was so stable. water must�*ve flown in from an open door. even in such a storm, it would have been not sinkable. the weather alerts clearly showed the storm would arrive at 4am. the captain have closed every hatch, raised anchor, sailed into the wind, and lowered the keel. then everyone could've gone back to sleep, and the cruiser would have happily continued.

and so, the end may be insight for the divers' work, perhaps bringing loved ones closer that term they may never reach — closure. let's speak to author and neighbour of the lynch family — ruth leigh so tributes have been paid to mike about his career and what he has managed to achieve as an innovator. tell us what you knew of him. he was 'ust a tell us what you knew of him. he was just a really — tell us what you knew of him. he was just a really lovely _ tell us what you knew of him. he was just a really lovely friendly _ tell us what you knew of him. he was just a really lovely friendly person - just a really lovely friendly person and as was angela. they lived in the house next door to us in the village about 15 years ago the children were very young and the only lived here on weekends or holidays and what we did see was lovely. they're always incredibly friendly and set the time to remember the name in such a

friendly open—hearted way and we used to see them sometimes for parties and they came to one of our parties and they came to one of our parties once and they were really nice neighbours and they never stood on ceremony and they never acted in a way that you would expect perhaps someone like that to act. itrui’hezat a way that you would expect perhaps someone like that to act. what about the community _ someone like that to act. what about the community where _ someone like that to act. what about the community where you _ someone like that to act. what about the community where you are - someone like that to act. what about the community where you are a? - someone like that to act. what about | the community where you are a? was he a part of the community was yellow yes, absolutely. when you come in somewhere rural like this we live in a big house and you're not there all the time it's quite difficult and mike was always just a very friendly and normal down—to—earth person as was angela and he would always say hello. he would and he would always say hello. he: would wave to you. he was a good landlord and he kept of the fences which is important around these parts and he improved the estate and he was a nice person to have around. how is the community reacted to this ongoing and how have the people

you talk about his work at all and get a sense of that?— get a sense of that? it is difficult to not know _ get a sense of that? it is difficult to not know about _ get a sense of that? it is difficult to not know about him _ get a sense of that? it is difficult to not know about him because l get a sense of that? it is difficult l to not know about him because he get a sense of that? it is difficult - to not know about him because he was on the greatest minds of his generation and it's true. he came from a fairly ordinary background and he won a place at a private school through the brain scholarship in cambridge and early on with his masters dissertation, that so we started autonomy and he was talking about forensic tech when that was not a thing and his name would always come up in a good way and you give to charity in the queue is a nonexecutive director of the bbc. brute nonexecutive director of the bbc. we have heard some statements from companies that he was involved with quite a bit today and this one the bbc website. thank you for talking to us the neighbour of the lynch family. thank you very much for watching.

hello there. it's going to start relatively quiet tonight before things turn a lot more unsettled during the early hours and into friday morning. rain and gates becoming widespread, certainly across england and wales, we could see some disruption, all because of storm lilian which is racing in off the atlantic as we speak. so this area of rain will become widespread across central—southern scotland, northern ireland, northwest england again and into wales and the midlands. and then a swathe of strong, potentially damaging winds beginning to move in across wales, the midlands and northern england. 50—60mph gusts widely, could be up to 75mph in the worst affected areas. mild in the south, a bit cooler in the north. so we start with those very strong winds and heavy rain during friday morning. it quickly clears off though into the north sea, and seeing skies brighten up nicely. the winds begin to ease down, but it stays very blustery into the afternoon with some showers

in northern and western areas. these are the sorts of gusts we're looking at later in the day. they could be higher than this though during friday morning. but the winds continue to ease down later on. temperature—wise, 22—23 in the southeast, mid—teens further north, so on the cool side. so we could see some travel disruption from storm lilian, could see some trees down, maybe some power outages and some travel disruption certainly for friday morning. so stay tuned to weather forecasts and to bbc local radio. as we head through friday night, we'll see further showers or longer spells of rain push into the northwest, and then an area of more persistent and heavy rain moving across southern and southeastern areas to start saturday. again, mild in the south, a bit fresher further north. so for saturday, we have low pressure to the northwest of the uk. this waving front, which will bring a period of heavy and prolonged rain across the southeast corner during much of the morning, only very slowly clearing out, and it'll be followed by sunshine but also some heavy thundery showers.

further north and west, it stays blustery close to that low, and there will be some showers around, but also some sunshine. temperatures, high teens in the north, maybe up to 20 celsius across the southeast. as a bank holiday weekend for many of us, sunday doesn't look too bad towards the south, thanks to this area of high pressure, but weather fronts always affecting more northern and western areas both saturday and sunday and monday as well. so unsettled in the north and the west, further south and east that you are, it will tend to be drier, sunny and a bit warmer.

hello, i'm lucy grey. you're watching the context on bbc news. still to come: the first drug to slow the progression of early—stage alzheimer's won't be available on the nhs

because it's too expensive. sport — and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's paul scott. thank you, let's start with cricket. england have edged ahead on day two of the first test with sri lanka at old trafford. there was a delayed start because of rain, but when play did get underway, joe wilson was watching. when sri lanka's players watched off the pitch here when the drizzle came down again, they knew they were behind in the match. they knew they still had wickets to take. but the captain was smiling, and i think with good reason. they out bowled england. delivery to get rid of ollie pope will live in their memory.
