good evening. officials in italy say it could be some time before the body of the final victim from a luxury yacht, which sank off the coast of sicily on monday, is recovered. the bayesian was moored outside the harbour in porticello when it was hit by a so—called water spout, or tornado, at sea. five bodies have been brought ashore from the wreck, including the british tech entrepreneur, mike lynch. it's beleived his 18—year—old daughter, hannah, is still missing. mark lowen has the very latest 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. mike was a standout character and intellectually understood the implications of the internet when, frankly, most people over here were scrabbling around. you don't get to the scale of achievement that he's done without a very hard headed, tough determination, but obviously an intellect that is really extraordinary. the family ofjonathan bloomer, the chairman of morgan stanley, and his wifejudy, have now released a statement. describing them as "incredible people," and an "inspiration to many," after confirming the couple were among the other six people now known to have died. for a fourth day this morning, scouring the wreckage on the seabed. with the last body to recover, the divers went down for a fourth day this morning, scouring the wreckage on the seabed. 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, ricardo thomas. the company that built the bayesian showing off its portfolio of other luxury yachts online, insists it was utterly safe. and despite the violent storms that night caught on cctv drenching the coast where the bayesian sat, the company's head says for it to have gone down so quickly, human error must be to blame. tranlation: it had i absolutely no problem. it was a model for many other ships because it was so stable. water must have flooded in, maybe through a side door left open. without that, even in such a storm it would have been unsinkable. the weather alerts clearly show that the storm would arrive at 4:00am. the captain should have closed every hatch, raised anchor, sailed into the wind and lowered the keel. then everyone could have gone back to sleep and the crews would have happily continued.

and so the end may be in sight for the divers�* work, perhaps bringing loved ones closer to that term they may never reach — closure. 16 minutes between the para going out on the boat mac and the capsizing. investigators are likely to question the captain who survived on what happened in that period and what precautions he took before the storm set in. tomorrow the rescue team will try once again to find the last remaining missing body and once they do recover it they will have to decide whether and how to salvage the vessel from the bottom of the open. studio: thank you, mark lowen in italy. —— bottom of the ocean.

the bbc presenterjermainejenas says he's consulting his lawyers after being sacked following complaints about alleged behaviour in the workplace. the former footballer, who's made regular appearances on match of the day, and presented the one show, has been taken off air with immediate effect. tonight, the radio station talksport says he won't be presenting his show, in the immediate future. here's lizo mzimba. the one show, the bbc�*s prime—time magazine show. jermainejenas, a regular co—host. this week we have had a host of massive stars on the show, and tonight is no different. he's been helping present the programme since 2020, a familiar, friendly face to millions of viewers. after a great weekend of football. the former england midfielder, who also played for tottenham hotspur and newcastle united, turned to broadcasting after his retirement from football. if you look at, you know, iraola's start to the season with bournemouth... as well as the one show there was match of the day, where he was a regular pundit, earning close to £200,000 a year. this afternoon in a statement the bbc said jermaine jenas was no longer part of the

corporation's presenting line—up. bbc news understands his contract was terminated because of alleged issues relating to workplace behaviour and that these issues involving digital communications such as texts were raised with a corporation a few weeks ago. this evening they spoke about the allegations to talksport news. i can't really talk about it. i, as you can probably see, i am not happy about it. but currently, as it stands, i'm going to have to let the lawyers deal with it. you know, there are two sides to every story. it has been reported you sent unsolicited text to a female member of staff— unsolicited text to a female member of staff at _ unsolicited text to a female member of staff at the one show. is that true? _ of staff at the one show. is that true? i — of staff at the one show. is that true? ., ., ., , _ ., true? i am not happy about this situation- _ true? i am not happy about this situation. look, _ true? i am not happy about this situation. look, i'm— true? i am not happy about this situation. look, i'm going - true? i am not happy about this situation. look, i'm going to . true? i am not happy about this situation. look, i'm going to bei situation. look, i'm going to be speaking to my lawyers about it is all i can say right now. the speaking to my lawyers about it is all i can say right now.— all i can say right now. the topic is that earlier, _ all i can say right now. the topic is that earlier, jermaine - all i can say right now. the topic is that earlier, jermaine jenas, i is that earlier, jermainejenas, here on the right, had been

# let's go crazy... #. it has been a crazy three weeks for tim walz, thrust unexpectedly into the spotlight, specifically chosen to attract a different set of voters to attract a different set of voters to the democrats. he is a former high school teacher and football coach aiming to take back themes recently claimed by republicans like patriotism and freedom. ianthem recently claimed by republicans like patriotism and freedom.— patriotism and freedom. when we democrats talk _ patriotism and freedom. when we democrats talk about _ patriotism and freedom. when we democrats talk about freedom - patriotism and freedom. when we democrats talk about freedom we i patriotism and freedom. when we - democrats talk about freedom we mean the freedom to make a better life for yourself and the people that you love _ love. freedom to love. — freedom to make your own love. freedom to make your own health care decisions _ freedom to make your own health care decisions. and, yeah, your kids' freedom — decisions. and, yeah, your kids' freedom to _ decisions. and, yeah, your kids' freedom to go to school without worrying — freedom to go to school without worrying about being shot dead in the halt — worrying about being shot dead in the hall. , , ., ., . the hall. this is an authentic small-town _ the hall. this is an authentic small-town guy _ the hall. this is an authentic small-town guy whose - the hall. this is an authentic- small-town guy whose traditional small—town guy whose traditional values are a deliberate complement to the liberal californian kamala harris. i to the liberal californian kamala harris. ~' ., to the liberal californian kamala harris. ~ ., , �* ., ., harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter _ harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter and _ harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter and i _ harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter and i was _ harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter and i was a - harris. i know guns, i'm a veteran, i am a hunter and i was a better. i am a hunter and i was a better shot— i am a hunter and i was a better shottherr— i am a hunter and i was a better shot than most republicans in congress _ shot than most republicans in congress and i have the trophies to

and also the debate against donald trump next month will be the two most decisive moments in this entire election campaign. so the pressure is really on for a relatively new candidate just less than three months away from the election. studio: 0k, months away from the election. studio: ok, sarah, thank you for that, sarah smith, our north america editor live in chicago. and there'll be more on newsnight with paddy o'connell shortly, over on bbc two. how right you are. do you remember who her boss is? joe biden crashed out because he couldn't speak in the debate against donald trump so we will ask if there dems are clapping too loudly with guests on both sides of the atlantic, on bbc news and iplayer. thanks for that, paddy. a drug shown to slow the progression of early stage alzheimers disease has been licensed for use in britain but is unlikely to be available on the nhs in england.

the health regulator says trials of lecan—e—mab show the slight benefits don't provide value for money. scotland and wales have yet to make a decision, but charities hope that today's licencing permission for private patients will pave the way for other similar drugs currently in development. fergus walsh was granted exclusive access, to the uk trials. that's fine. all right. yeah. mavis is a rarity, one ofjust a few alzheimer's patients in the uk who are receiving lecanemab. she's been having an infusion every fortnight for several years. this was november 2022. mavis was part of a trial which showed the drug delayed progression of early alzheimer's by around four to six months. do you remember we used to watch the ducks in there? her husband is grateful for the extra time. it's enabled mavis to keep her personality. i mean, she's still our mavis.

she always was bright and cheery and she still is. we've had some wonderful years since you came on this drug, haven't we? yeah. and some great times. yeah. and i'm grateful for it, too. my, goodness, you know, it's making a difference to your life, isn't it? now i heard. yes? ..that you had a big coffee morning this morning? - 0h, did i. do you remember that? no, i don't. lecanemab is not a wonder drug. mavis' short term memory remains badly affected. it works by clearing a rogue protein which builds up in the brains of alzheimer's patients. i've calculated lecanemab is likely to cost around £20,000 a year privately, but administering the drug and brain scans will probably double that which the health assessment body, nice says does not represent value for money. you hold that for me, please? right. and i'll use this on your left, ok?

there are dozens of similar drugs going through clinical trials. alzheimer's charities want the nhs to get ready for this new era of treatment. this is a defining moment for alzheimer's disease and gives us real hope for the future. but we have some big challenges ahead because the key to getting access to this treatment, or any potential future treatment, will be getting an early and accurate diagnosis. and we're nowhere near that at the moment. lecanemab can cause brain swelling and bleeding, so patients need careful monitoring. despite the risks and its modest benefits, many alzheimer's researchers regard lecanemab as a turning point because it shows this dreaded disease has its weaknesses and better drugs will follow. fergus walsh, bbc news. two bulldogs, thought to be involved in the death of a 33—year—old man near birmingham, are still on the loose, despite police efforts to capture them. two other dogs were seized

at the scene of the attack, in the village of rubery. here's phil mackie. this is where the man's body was found in the early hours of yesterday, in the back garden of a small maisonette on the outskirts of birmingham. tonight, police confirmed that the four dogs which lived at the property, belonged to the brother of the man who died. two are still on the loose. this is a picture of one of the ones they're looking for. this footage was taken a short distance away, about two hours after the police were first called, but they're not certain if they're the same dogs. all day we've seen the search carrying on and including a police helicopter, which has been circling now for a long time, looking at every part of this estate on which the man's body was found, as they desperately tried to find the two animals which are still at large. nearby woods were one of the areas where the search focussed, but this evening the dogs still hadn't been found. do you believe that these dogs do

pose a risk to the public? i don't know what happened in that address. i know that somebody has got really serious injuries as a result of dog bites. but what i do want to do is make sure that we get hold of them dogs as quickly as we can. a postmortem examination has been carried out to determine exactly how and when the man died. his family are being supported. phil mackie, bbc news, rubery. hundreds of thousands of students across england, wales and northern ireland have received their gcse, btec and other level results. overall the gcse pass rate has fallen, for a third consecutive year. it's at 67.6%, down from just over 68% last year. northern ireland saw the biggest drop in pass rates, returning to pre—covid standards, down 4.6% compared to 2023.

in wales the pass rate was 61.7%, that's down 2.8%. and england, which readjusted from the covid period last year, saw pass rates only slightly drop 0.4% compared to last year. bra nwen jeffreys reports. surprise and delight in this ex—mining community near sunderland. you're looking a bit stunned. i am, i am lost for words, to be honest. the pass rate in the north east slightly up this year. i didn't expect, like, to get these, but i think i've done well, aye. i have got an a in english. after years of covid disruption, the reward for their hard work. especially with it being impacted along the line it feels better seeing them now. proves, doesn't it, that they're as good as anybody else. it doesn't matter where you're from, as long as you work hard that anybody can go on and smash it. gcses, more than any other exams show up the differences across our country, but the results in this school today show it's also possible to buck those trends. here, the head teacher put in extra

revision and mental health support. almost half the pupils are entitled to free school meals. they spent the first two years at secondary school really disrupted in their education. and so actually for some it was a challenge to raise those attendance levels to get them back into the academy. they were anxious about having gaps in their knowledge. and what they've achieved today means that they are now competing on a national level with the results that they've got. in england it's the top grades of seven and above where differences are most stark. in the north east, 17% of all gcses awarded. in the west midlands, 18%. and in london, 28%. this is a gap the government says it wants to narrow. in northern ireland, teenagers knew results would bump down to pre—covid levels. after an anxious few months some were still celebrating top grades. felt like the longest two

months of my life over the may and june period, but i'm definitely happy that i put in all that hard work. wales also adjusted its grades down this year. for many of the students getting results, what matters is getting to the next stage. i could have done better, but i'm happy with what i got because it means i can do my carpentry and that. matthew now faces retaking maths and english alongside his course. england is the only part of the uk to ask this of young people. some this evening calling for it to be scrapped. branwenjeffreys, bbc news, sunderland. a bbc investigation has found hundreds of people in the uk have posted on a pro—suicide website looking for someone to die with. more than 700 people have posted on the forum, which we're not naming, and a number of double suicides can be traced to it.

we also found that predators use the site to target vulnerable women. the government says the online safety act should tackle such content when it comes into force next year. you may find some of the details in angus crawford's report upsetting. it could be a dating site. a single man looking for someone. but, actually, what he seeks is much, much darker. it's a match—up site for the suicidal. those posts were made by angela's son, brett. he was fun, he was always happy, always laughing, always smiling. i would say to brett... ..there's no problem

that we can't solve. he didn't have to go down that path. 28 and struggling with his mental health, brett found the thread where users advertised for a partner to die with. there, he met a young woman. they travelled to scotland and ended their lives together. you go on there, you speak to different members that are in the forum and you pick out, a bit like tinder where you you swipe. is that the ethos of it? where i quite fancy the sound of that person, or what that person is saying. so i'll see if i can hook up with them. it's just absolutely vile. his death is far from being an isolated case. the authorities know all about it, but so far haven't closed it down. that place that brett used to find a partner, well, it's still active. i'm on it right now.

we've gone through all the messages and found more than 5,000 people have posted here looking for someone to die with. of them, more than 700 are from the uk. even more worrying, we've found dangerous men using it to target young women. those are the posts of craig mcinally from glasgow, now in prison, unlikely ever to be released. he used the thread to find women to abuse, choke and hurt — all for his own sexual pleasure. one of those was romanian student, roberta babos, just 22 when she died. this is her mother, maria. i talk with her here alone. what do you say? everything. everything what i...

..what i think is the moment, i talk with her. and these are mcinally�*s messages to her. she survived a meeting with him, but driven deeper into the forum, she finally ended her own life. it's horror. if the website did not exist, would roberta still be alive? yes, i'm sure. roberta is still here with me. for the parents of the dead, grief, but anger too at this site, still matchmaking the suicidal. angus crawford, bbc news. and if you've been affected by any of the issues raised in angus' report, there's more information, on the bbc�*s action line.

after the recent violent disorder in parts of the uk, the crown prosecution service says more than 180 people have beenjailed, and nearly 500 have been charged. among them today, was a man, aged 81, accused of using threatening and insulting words and behaviour. here's daniel sandford. bristol city centre on saturday the 3rd of august and in the middle of the rioting by far right protesters, young men are throwing metal beer kegs at a police van. among them was 19—year—old cassius adamson, shown here on the video evidence seen in court by a yellow arrow. move back! later, he threw a traffic cone and a brick at police as the rioters tried to get to a hotel housing asylum seekers. today, adamson was jailed for two years. the judge said the disorder had brought shame on the city. come on, everybody out. the next day, riot officers were trying to protect another hotel housing asylum seekers, this time near rotherham.

the officers were repeatedly challenged by 61—year—old grandfather of three, peter lynch. scum! lynch, who recently had a heart attack, hurled insults at the officers who were trying to stop the hotel being burnt down by the mob. he was jailed for two years, eight months. the judge said he was a disgraceful example to his grandchildren. more than 180 people have now been jailed as a result of this summer's disorder, with an average sentence of two years, including thomas whitehead, who was arrested last week as he returned from the holiday he'd taken after taking part in the original riot in southport. daniel sandford, bbc news. in russia, they've been marking flag day across the country, a patriotic holiday involving much pomp and ceremony. but it comes as a foreign army is camped on russian soil,

with ukrainian troops having seized parts of the kursk region. the incursion is causing greater alarm day by day for russians, as steve rosenberg, reports from moscow. in moscow, they celebrated russian flag day. but you probably guessed that. a day for pride, for patriotism, for believing in russia's strength, even now when ukrainian troops are seizing russian territory. this man isn't following news of the incursion on tv. most russians, he tells me, don't want to know. theyjust get on with their lives. but this lady said she is terrified by what is happening. "russia will win," she says "and nothing will be left of ukraine." for more than two weeks now the russian military has been struggling to regain control in kursk region. this is embarrassing

for the kremlin. but president putin used flag day to praise russian soldiers, past and present, for defending the motherland. president putin has a difficult balancing act here. on the one hand, ukrainian soldiers still fighting inside russia. that is a huge challenge to his authority. he will be desperate to restore control. on the other hand, he doesn't want the russian public to panic about this and so the authorities here create the image almost as business as normal, everything under control. but russians don't seem to feel that. there is unease, apprehension. especially now that young conscripts are reportedly being sent to kursk region. grigori runs an ngo outside russia. it helps russian men escape conscription. translation: we've been getting more calls from young _ men or their relatives because they are being deployed to kursk region.

there's been a big reaction to this in russia. contract soldiers who have decided to fight are one thing. conscripts are completely different, people understand they don't go voluntarily. this russian commander dismissed parents' concern. "if you think your conscript sons shouldn't have to defend the country," he said, "why does our country need you or your children?" the kremlin says that with the tricolor, russia has become a great power. but it is war in ukraine is bringing greater certainty. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. it was a fierce tustle, despite the weather, on day two of the first test between england and sri lanka in manchester. joe wilson has all the details. new summer, same old trafford. well, let's be fair it can rain anywhere and often does. and we only lost a morning of play and sri lanka made up for lost time.

wa to get rid of the dynamic ben duckett. hey, that was a start. up next, england's captain. gone. ollie pope out for six — we'd only been playing for half an hour and asitha fernando was already having the day of his bowling life. great! and here comes vishwa fernando. and there goes dan lawrence — dismissed for 30 on his return to england's team. england found themselves in unexpected adversity. and remember, no ben stokes to turn to. he's out for the rest of the summer with injury. joe root captained england for many years. he led a recovery here, with stokes approving on the balcony in the hoodie. root on 42, edged — safely caught. oh, it's asitha again. always leave them wanting more. a delivery he thought was coming back. england needed reassurance. harry brook got past 50.

he already has a strong reputation as an england crowd pleaser. yeah, but prabath jayasuriya was bowling spin. wow! england five down, still 49 behind. harry brook saw it, did not quite believe it. the day was never truly warm, but it stayed dry long enough forjamie smith to reach 72 and for england to take a narrow lead. three days left, plenty to think about. joe wilson, bbc news, old trafford. time for the weather, here's louise. this prograqmme continues on bbc one.
