on social media platform x — the accounts even have a blue tick. and paralympic champion richard whitehead calls for improvements to nhs prosthetics — he says its essential to help produce the �*next generation�* of gold medallists. hello i'm annita mcveigh. let's get more on the us now and while the focus has been on kamala harris and the democratic convention in chicago, her republican rival donald trump has been trying to turn the conversation to migration. he's been in the swing state of arizona — near to where stretches of the border wall with mexico were built. migration has been a key issue for voters, and one that trump and his team think could work in his favour. he blamed president biden and his vice president for a wave of illegal immigration, and criticised ms harris�*s efforts

to reduce the number of people coming from central america — a role given to her by mr biden in 2021. we had a border tsar who was... mr biden in 2021. the border tsar, she loved the title but she didn't want to do the work because she's lazy and probably, more importantly than being lazy, she wants to have an open border. and you say, who would want an open border where criminals can pour into our country and all you have to do is walk up there, if you have the courage to do it, and go to the open section, stand there for a little while and you'll be running back here very quickly. let's speak to cbs news correspondent, caitlin huey burns who's in arizona. no surprise that mr trump was on the border to coincide with the end of the democratic national convention, because this is an area he obviously thinks he can win votes on.-

grenades and grenade—launchers. the traders operate in the capital sana'a and other areas under control of the houthis — a rebel group backed by iran and proscribed as terrorists by the us and australian governments. an investigation by the times newspaper found that several of the yemeni accounts bore the blue tick of verification. let's speak to our security correspondent — frank gardner. this is a pretty extraordinary story, how on earth do you think that weapons like these came to be sold openly on x?— that weapons like these came to be sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very. — sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very. shall— sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very, shall we _ sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very, shall we put _ sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very, shall we put it, _ sold openly on x? yemen has always had a very, shall we put it, lively, i had a very, shall we put it, lively, trade in weapons. i went there in the 1980s and was amazed to see powerful automatic weapons from libya, russia, the balkans, being openly traded at open—air desert markets east of the capital. it is no surprise that weapons have been

traded, but the extraordinary thing is that it is being done, not on the dark web, where you would expect it to be taking place for a lot of illicit, illegal, banned substances and items and materials are traded, but on x, formerly known as twitter. the times newspaper got a tip off and did their investigation over the last ten days and they have counted around 68 traders who are offering these weapons, which range from assault rifles, two hand grenades to rocket propelled grenade, two pistols, for hundreds of dollars. payments in yemeni or saudi currency. the bbc did their own diligence and found that there is a video where a man gives a demonstration of a kalashnikov, which he loads up with a magazine and fires it off, saying, this is

top notch, guaranteed, all the kind of hype you would get with terms and conditions, coming with a normal commercial product, traded openly, on x. the bbc and the times have contacted x for comment but not got a response. fine contacted x for comment but not got a response-— a response. one wonders what is bein: a response. one wonders what is being done _ a response. one wonders what is being done to — a response. one wonders what is being done to shut _ a response. one wonders what is being done to shut this _ a response. one wonders what is being done to shut this down. . being done to shut this down. when elon musk took _ being done to shut this down. when elon musk took over _ being done to shut this down. when elon musk took over twitter - being done to shut this down. wren elon musk took over twitter and turned it into x in 2022, he laid off most of the content moderators, people who were keeping illicit content, or misogynistic, racist, vile, terraced content of the platform. a lot of those restraints i am told are no longer there. it is perfectly possible that once they

see these accounts, that they will get rid of it. i i spoke to a former uk ambassador to yemen he said it is not difficult to do it. you find you and you take it down. there is an ngo called tech against terra. making an urgent plea to tech companies making an urgent plea to tech companies to take this content down. the ad that we are talking about is for yemeni consumers, but there is risk of overspill. there are contacts between yemen and the somalian terrorist group. anything that leigh allows the illicit flow of powerful automatic weapons that can end up in the hands of al-qaeda or isis, is going to be bad news for

more now on the festival season, and big outdoor events can be bad news for the environment.

that's why one festival in bristol — headlined by 90s legends massive attack — is doing things differently. david sillito has been to find out more. a warning, this report does contain some flashing images. # love, love is a verb. # love is a doing word.# clifton downs, high above bristol, and preparations for a festival with a difference. no cars, no diesel, no rubbish. bristol's trip hop superstars massive attack are trying to prove there's a better way of doing big outdoor events. well, it's always a big deal, sort of, um, playing your home turf. yeah. so, yeah, it's a big dealfor us. yeah. you're making it special. i think leaving this gig behind is a legacy to our history of the city, and our performances in the city will be the best thing we can offer. train announcement: this is a great western railway... fans have been told to leave cars at home and come by train. but that only takes you so far. you have to get up

to the site as well. you could walk, but it's quite a trek and almost all of it uphill. however, you could try cycling. i said try! urgh! however, there is an alternative that's rather easier on your legs than the long walk or cycle up the hill... a bus — an electric bus. hello, simon. ok if i sit anywhere? anywhere you want. i've got the bus to myself. how many buses are you putting on? we are putting on 39 fully—electric buses. that's a lot for one gig, isn't it? yes, but people tend to leave at the same time. yeah. they don't want to be waiting for three hours to leave, yeah. is it worth it? what's exciting here is all these little pieces are being brought together. and then when you look back, you can suddenly say, well, all these little steps now have added up to a big leap. and that's what's so exciting about this — this event. thank you very much. and on site, it's like a green laboratory — a battery—powered green

laboratory. if it weighs a0 tonnes, that's a lot of battery. it's a lot of battery. del vince knows festivals well. in the �*80s, he was what was known as a new age traveller. he's now a renewable energy tycoon. this is the first time an event this big, 30—odd thousand people has been powered entirely with batteries. but why can't you just plug it into the mains? great question. because there's no mains here. no mains. and that's the fundamental problem of outdoor events. 12 million litres of diesel burnt annually in our country to power outdoor events. 12 million litres. you started at glastonbury, didn't you, 30 years ago. yeah. it's kind of like back to the future. now i'm back at festivals, trying to wring the last drops of diesel out of our country. what's the moment of peak anxiety? for anyone who's panicked about their phone battery, this is on a whole different level. but this is about more than just cars and power, as i found out in the tea tent. where are the cups? there aren't any cups here. you need to bring your own. i haven't got a cup.

i haven't brought... i haven't brought a cup. it's a waste free zone, you're supposed to bring your own cup. don't worry, we'll get you one. this is what most festivals look like when everyone's gone home. here, they're hoping no rubbish — honestly. this is going to be composted. so this stuff that was normally thrown on the ground, you can just put it in the compost heap. you can. you can put it into a compost... what about all the cups that's always left behind? the cups are reusable. so they're made from a reusable vessel, which we can take back and wash and use again and again. and the fans, well, the two we had a chat to are all for it, but there is an issue — getting home. we have had to book a hotel and then get a train back on monday. evie's from cornwall, jess, liverpool. the key thing, can you get back on sunday night? no. definitely not with how late it is. so i have to get a place to stay. gwr is laying on five extra late—night local trains,

but after midnight... it's really difficult to do after midnight — to ensure that network rail have the ability to do the engineering work that they need. they need to do the maintenance. they absolutely do. so no chance for evie going home on a... to cornwall on a sunday night? i'm afraid not. not on this occasion. and this is just a fraction of everything they're trying. for the band, who've long had a passion for these issues, this is way more thanjust another gig. this is just something that we love doing. and, you know, it's our bit to help really. the only time you'll know it's really worked is when you walk on stage in front of 3a,000 people and the actual lights come on and the music works properly. i think the only time we know it's worked is when we walk off stage, and there's been no power cuts in between. this really means something to you, doesn't it? yeah, this this is definitely one to get out of bed for, isn't it? we're very happy talking to you because it's great to be able to share this — the details of this experiment with you. this experiment as...

by its very virtue of being here, is hopefully going to sort of, like, create some activity. and, you know, because it's a sector which is has a lot to say about climate change, but, unfortunately, it's not doing much about it. it is essentially a bit of an experiment, and it does prove one thing, quite how much thought has to go into trying to convince people to not use their cars. but if you do come by bike, at least it's downhill all the way. i hope these brakes are good. oh, there we go! they need some oil. stay with us here on bbc news. hello.

storm lillian is already clearing away. it is still fairly windy some heavy rain at times equally some spells of sunshine. they go storm lillian, this hook of cloud on the earlier satellite. clearing away north eastwards, we find ourselves in this slightly clearer slot, albeit with some showers. the showers most frequent towards the north and the west of the uk, northern ireland and scotland. staying breezy but not as windy as it has been. these wind gusts we can expect at their end of the afternoon. temperatures peaking at around 22 degrees across east anglia and the south—east. scotland and northern ireland more like 1a—17. through the night we will see some heavy showers and for the second half of the night, this cloud and rain developing across southern and eastern parts of england, moving into the south—east of wales. a mild night towards the south, cooler and fresher north and west. we will

start with some sunshine tomorrow morning. not so further south, heavy rain for the channel islands. in spots to the south—east of van london we have this met office yellow warning because some areas could see 70 millimetres of rain. that could well give rise to some flooding and travel disruption. that rain clearing around lunchtime. hefty, showery thunder behind. temperature is really disappointing for this point in august, 13—18 at best. 0n for this point in august, 13—18 at best. on sunday high pressure tries to build from the south, without much success. low pressure still close by, there will be showers, in fact, a frontal system bringing persistent rain. a little bit drier further south and east, temperatures recovering to around 20 degrees.

bank holiday monday for many of us, it looks drier and warmer and it is set to turn warmer still for some of us as we head through next week.

so many. today at one — higher energy bills on the way this winter, as the regulator raises the price cap by 10%. the average bill for a typical household will go up by £1a9 from october — the government says many people

will be deeply worried. also on the programme this lunchtime: a funeral service for seven year old elsie dot stancombe — one of the three young girls killed in the southport knife attack. a new picture of her with her family is released — as her short life is remembered. she was always the child everyone else wanted to play with. her kind and caring naturejust welcomed everyone in. from such a young age, she had such a high level of emotional intelligence. divers have located the body of last person missing after a luxury yacht sank off sicily, it's believed to be that of 18—year—old hannah lynch. kamala harris formally accepts the democrats nomination to be their candidate in the race for the white house. and, storm lilian brings high winds and some travel disruption in parts of the uk ahead of the bank holiday weekend.
