after a luxury yacht sank after a luxury yacht sank in a storm has been located. tributes have been paid to 18—year—old hannah lynch, after divers recovered what is believed to be her body.

you can see those red tents where the rescue workers have been operating. and within the last hour, we saw a flurry of activity here. we saw boats returning to the quayside with divers in their yellow diving suits, and we believe that they were transporting the lifeless body of the last missing person, which we believe to be 18—year—old hannah lynch. we also saw one of the larger coastguard vessels, which has been over the site of the shipwreck for hours now, that also returned much closer into port. and then a short time ago on social media, the fire fighters of italy confirmed that they had recovered the final missing body, which they said they had brought up out of the water, lifeless.

then we saw an ambulance that had been parked here on the quay side drive away, and we believe that was transporting the body away to a mortuary nearby, where the formal identification procedures will take place. and bethany, various lines of inquiry being followed to try to establish exactly how this happened, how this yacht came to sink. tell us about the latest on the investigation. well, it should be stressed that this these are the very, that these are the very, very early stages of an active investigation by the italian authorities. so we can't speculate too much about what they will be doing. but certainly they will be looking into questions as to how it was that this super yacht went down so quickly. were there perhaps other measures that could have been taken to mitigate the extreme weather? what was it that caused this

shipwreck to happen so soon? we know that they have interviewed the captain of the vessel who survived the shipwreck. he is a 51—year—old man from new zealand. but they will, we understand, will be addressing the media tomorrow and then we should have a little bit more of an idea about their investigations. but this is something we've been told will take weeks if not months to get to the bottom of. bethany bell reporting. the race for the white house is now fully under way, after kamala harris accepted the democratic nomination for president. at the final day of the democratic national convention in chicago, the vice president pledged to lead "for all americans", saying there was a chance to move past bitterness, cynicism and division, to a "new way forward". democrats have been riding a surge of enthusiasm since harris became their nominee, but polls suggest the election remains extremely tight.

talking about her rival, donald trump, kamala harris called him an "unserious man" but warned the consequences of him returning as president would be returning as president would be "extremely serious". "extremely serious". our correspondent emma vardy sent our correspondent emma vardy sent this report from chicago. this report from chicago. please welcome the democratic please welcome the democratic nominee for president, nominee for president, vice president of the united states vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris! a month ago many people did not of america, kamala harris! envisage this moment. america's lesser—known second—in—command propelled into the starring role. into the starring role. fights for the american people. but she's become the woman democrats but she's become the woman democrats now believe can make history by becoming the first female president of the united states. now believe can make history i will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations, a president who leads and listens, a president who leads and listens, who is realistic, practical, who is realistic, practical, and has common sense, and always and has common sense, and always

fights for the american people. from the courthouse to the white house, that has

to this moment sincejoe biden dropped out of the race. now she's appealed to people to see her as the future and urged voters to prevent a return to donald trump's america of the past. # what about us # what about all the times you said you had the answer?# though there wasn't an appearance by beyonce that many had hoped for, plenty of celebrities have been lining up to back her. polls suggest kamala harris has taken the lead in this race. but there are fears about the economy and illegal immigration that play to donald trump's strengths. once the convention excitement subsides, there's still much to overcome if her dream of a new era is to be realised. emma vardy, news, chicago. our correspondent ione wells is in chicago and has been following the response to kamala harris�*s speech. she certainly had a really, really

warm reception in the room. there was a lot of love for her at that convention centre. the speech itself was designed to be quite a serious one. it wasn't full of laughs and jokes in the way that some of the other ones at this convention have been. it focused on pretty serious themes, a lot about her experience as a prosecutor, about why she believes strongly in things like abortion rights as well. she definitely tried to lay on fixed the attacks on donald trump, his record, his criminal prosecutions as well. i think certainly it was designed, as i say, to be almost serious speech for serious times. some of the biggest applause as she got throughout the speech was when she talks about foreign policy, things like her belief in the need for more support for ukraine, the argument that while she would always defend israel's right to defend itself, she wants a ceasefire in gaza so that the palestinian people can have the right to dignity and self—determination. that is of course an issue that she knows is

going to be very crucial for her campaign, given the mass protests we have seen in chicago and the anger on the left of her party about her government's response to israel. this is a speech full of pretty serious themes, that was partly to strike a balance undertone of wanting to introduce herself properly as the presidential nominee, but also wanted to take the fight to donald trump. she still has weeks ahead of her campaigning before that crucial election date in november. ., ., ~' before that crucial election date in november. ., ., before that crucial election date in november-— before that crucial election date in november. ., ., ., november. looking ahead over the next coume — november. looking ahead over the next coume of _ november. looking ahead over the next couple of weeks _ november. looking ahead over the next couple of weeks for _ november. looking ahead over the next couple of weeks for us, - november. looking ahead over the next couple of weeks for us, what l next couple of weeks for us, what are the key things to look out for? the next big test for her is going to be the first head—to—head debate with donald trump. that is going to be the first time we see these two nominees go head—to—head, fight it out over policy, but also character as well i'm sure will come up and stop the democrats made no secret here about the fact that they want to respond to the attacks that donald trump and his campaign have

laid on heavily towards their campaign, and really fight back. i think we're going to see some pretty punchy exchanges from both candidates in that presidential debate. one of the challenges for kamala harris is, of course although last night was her big speech, big appearance her democratic supporters here, she needs to take this fight to the country. she has not yet done a sit down interview with any media here in the us since she became the nominee. there are still big questions and screws need to be made on some of her policies, and i think will be that debate where those things are put to the test. that is going to be the next big moment coming up for her, but also a lot of campaigning outand coming up for her, but also a lot of campaigning out and about, particularly in some of those key swing states, even throughout this convention she spent a bit of time “p convention she spent a bit of time up in milwaukee, wisconsin. that is one of the states where this election will be won or lost, so i think we can expect many more visits like that in the weeks to come.

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 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 that open section, stand there for a little while,

you will be running back here very quickly. as energy prices continue to be a concern for consumers in many countries, the uk energy regulator, ofgem, has announced that its price cap will increase by 10% from the first of october. it means an average household in england, scotland, and wales will pay an extra £119 a year — although prices will still be lower than last winter. ofgem says rising prices in the international energy market, because of heightened political tensions and extreme weather, is the main driver of the decision. ben boulos has more. at aj's cafe in doncaster, they know all too well how much their customers are already struggling with energy costs. personally, i'm feeling it too. i've got a young family and it is a worry. we do turn things off now at the plugs when we go to bed and it's just always there in your mind. the new price cap from october means household energy bills will rise by 10% in england,

scotland and wales, that means an annual bill of £1,717 for a typical household using the average amount of energy. but remember, the cap doesn't limit your total bill. it limits how much suppliers can charge for each unit of gas and electricity. and these are the new average maximum charges. electricity at 2a.5p a unit and gas at 6.24p. but even these vary depending on where you live and your payment plan. i know this is not welcome news for many households, and i know many households still struggle with all of their bills, including energy. but what we're announcing today is a 10% increase in the price cap. that's the regulated price that we lay out that says that's the maximum a company can charge if you're not in the wider market, if you're not on, for example, a fixed deal. the local citizens advice bureau tells us that, here in doncaster, many people are already in debt because of high energy costs.

around the country, millions of pensioners will now no longer get the £300 winter fuel payment, including some living here in the energy secretary's own constituency. look, the truth is that the mess that was left to us in the public finances is what necessitated that decision around winter fuel payments and us focusing it on those who need it the very most. that's why this government is also driving throughout the coming months to get the people, the 880,000 pensioners who are entitled to pension credit and not getting credit and not getting it, to try and get them to take it up. energy prices are down from last year's peak, but with today's announcement and warnings of another possible rise injanuary, is now the time to lock in a fixed rate with your energy supplier? it is possible at the moment to fix at rates lower than the price cap is going to be from october. you can get fixes in the region of £100 cheaper than what those

new rates are going to be for average consumption, so now is a good time to both save some money versus that october cap, but also lock in some certainty of the risk of rates going up again injanuary. some are blissfully unaware of the pressure from rising energy bills, but for many more, the worry as we go into the colder winter months could well cause some rather sleepless nights. ben boulos, bbc news, doncaster. ukraine's president volodymyr zelensky and india's prime minister narendra modi have embraced each other on mr modi's arrival in kyiv. but talks between the men may be tense. weeks ago, mr zelensky said it had been a "devastating blow" to see mr modi warmly welcomed by vladimir putin in moscow. and while mr modi says he'll talk about the peaceful resolution of the russia—ukraine war, both moscow and kyiv have ruled out any negotiations in the near future. suhasini haidar is diplomatic affairs editor with the hindu newspaper. i asked her about the

symbolism of this embrace. it's quite possible that that embrace is what led to this embrace, in a sense, because there was a very sharp response from kyiv, from president zelensky when prime minister modi had gone to moscow onjuly the 9th, met with president putin. now, of course, india and russia have very close ties, very strong ties, traditional ties. prime minister modi's visit to moscow was a two day visit full of bilateral agreements between the two. in contrast, india's ties with the ukraine are not as long and deep. but prime minister modi has made this a priority after his visit to russia. i think, firstly, to show that india may not have a balance when it comes to ties with russia and ukraine, but it certainly wishes to maintain the semblance of a balance on the russia—ukraine war. you will recall that india has so far really not come out on one side or the other, saying consistently it's on the side of peace.

prime minister modi saying there prime minister modi saying there are no victors on the battlefield, are no victors on the battlefield, wanting dialogue and diplomacy, wanting dialogue and diplomacy, but not specifically criticising russia for the invasion of ukraine. but not specifically criticising and nor has it really sort of said much about ukraine either in the last few years. in the last few years. ukraine had made special requests, ukraine had made special requests, for example, to come for example, to come to the g20 to india, to the g20 to india, and india had not and india had not responded very favourably. responded very favourably. so there's no question that the two leaders have a lot to talk about. but the symbolism, as you pointed but the symbolism, as you pointed out of the hug between the two out of the hug between the two leaders, seems to indicate that both leaders, seems to indicate that both kyiv and delhi are are willing kyiv and delhi are are willing to put maybe the recriminations to put maybe the recriminations of the past month behind them of the past month behind them and discuss how they and discuss how they can work together. can work together. i'mjust an update i'mjust an update i'm just an update about how those i'm just an update about how those talks are _ i'm just an update about how those talks are going, president zelensky talks are _ i'm just an update about how those talks are going, president zelensky has posted on x will smack saying an x will smack saying an agreement— has posted on x will smack saying an agreement has been reached on four has posted on x will smack saying an agreement— has posted on x will smack saying an agreement has been reached on four
