live. we start in the us — where the party conventions are done — with karmala harris formally accepting the democratic nomination last night in chicago. she promised a "new way forward" for the united states — delighting delegates in the hall. there are now 7a days till the november election. the polls are tight, especially in the crucial swing states. meanwhile, donald trump has been campaigning at the southern us border, focussing on immigration. and, in the next few hours, we're expecting the independent candidate, robert f kenneder to withdraw from the race — it's thought he will endorse mr trump. he's due to make a speech in arizona. let's begin with this report from chicago and the democrats from emma vardy. please welcome the democratic nominee for president. nominee for president, vice president of the united states of america, kamala harris. a month ago, many people did not envisage this moment. america's lesser known second in command propelled

into the starring role. but she's become the woman democrats now believe can make history by becoming the first female president of the united states. i will be a president who unites us around our highest aspirations. a president who leads and listens. who is realistic, practical, and has common sense, and always fights for the american people. from the courthouse to the white house, that has been my life's work. the middle class is where i come from. my mother kept a strict budget. we lived within our means, yet we wanted for little, and she expected us to make the most of the opportunities

that were available to us, and to be grateful for them, because, as she taught us, opportunity is not available to everyone. that's why we will create what i call an opportunity economy, an opportunity economy, where everyone has the chance to compete and a chance to succeed. cheering. kamala harris has been on an accelerated path to this moment sincejoe biden dropped out of the race. now she's appealed to people to see her as the future and urge 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 from 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, bbc news, chicago. let's speak to politico's white house reporter, daniel lippman, who was at the convention in chicago and has just landed back in washington. welcome to the programme. you were there. what did you make of what you heard from kamala harris? she there. what did you make of what you heard from kamala harris?— heard from kamala harris? she hit all the themes _ heard from kamala harris? she hit all the themes that _ heard from kamala harris? she hit all the themes that democrats - heard from kamala harris? she hitl all the themes that democrats want to tear to talk about. she needed to reintroduce herself to the american people. when you're the vice president, you're playing second fiddle, and she was probably served by her staff in the first year or so when she did media interviews, she was not prepared enough for it, and she had issues like illegal immigration that she couldn't achieve victories on, so this was the moment when she could lay out

her agenda. the moment when she could lay out heragenda. she the moment when she could lay out her agenda. she has been criticised for not having enough policy specifics, but also talk about the dangers of trumpism according to democrats, and tell democrats not to be complacent and not take last night's moment and party, and not do the hard work in the next 75 or so days to win this election. that central message _ days to win this election. that central message was - days to win this election. that central message was there about donald trump, about moving forward not backwards, but was there enough specifics, real detail, about what she wants to do on the economy? what she wants to do on the economy? what she wants to do on big questions that are troubling the party, like gaza? i that are troubling the party, like gaza? ~' , ., , ., ., gaza? i think the people who are pro-palestinian _ gaza? i think the people who are pro-palestinian in _ gaza? i think the people who are pro-palestinian in the _ gaza? i think the people who are| pro-palestinian in the democratic pro—palestinian in the democratic party, they were heartened to hear that she talked about the suffering of the palestinian people, while at the same time saying the us was very committed to israel's security. those protesters were not happy that there was no palestinian americans who spoke on the convention stage,

where there was a number of hours every single day for four days straight, so they were disappointed by that. in terms of laying out specifics on economics, i think people are still waiting for some of that. she hasn't done a tv or print interview since she became the presumptive nominee in a month, and so i think people are expecting her to be more of a continuation candidate from the biden— harris administration than laying out a totally new agenda, and she is going totally new agenda, and she is going to say that people know what democrats stand for, and that trump would represent a break with going forward, and they always say, don't take us back to the past. you forward, and they always say, don't take us back to the past.— take us back to the past. you are tellin: take us back to the past. you are telling our _ take us back to the past. you are telling our producer— take us back to the past. you are telling our producer that - take us back to the past. you are telling our producer that unit - take us back to the past. you are telling our producer that unit is l take us back to the past. you are telling our producer that unit is ai telling our producer that unit is a real contrast between this convention and the republican convention and the republican convention in terms of former president speaking. tell me more about that? in president speaking. tell me more about that?— about that? in this democratic convention. — about that? in this democratic convention, you _ about that? in this democratic convention, you saw— about that? in this democratic convention, you saw bill-

about that? in this democratic i convention, you saw bill clinton, barack obama, giving great speeches that democrats that were very well received. and in the republican convention, there is still a schism within the party, even if it is just a small minority of people who are against trump. you don't see george w bush, who represented the country for eight years and was a hero to republicans, speak to the republican convention. he does not support trump. when he was at the inauguration of trump in 2017, remember what he said under his breath — that was some weird expletive. he doesn't, the party has deftly changed, it is different from the country club bush republicans that were in power in washington from until 2008. we that were in power in washington from until2008._ that were in power in washington from until2008. ~ ., ., from until2008. we urge due to hear

an announcement _ from until2008. we urge due to hear an announcement from _ from until2008. we urge due to hear an announcement from the _ from until2008. we urge due to hear. an announcement from the independent candidate, rfkjunior, it is thought he is going to pull out the race in a tight race, and it is also thought he is likely to endorse donald trump. how significant you might be? democrats don't like this announcement, because they were hoping he would stay in the race and attract some of those trump filters who were inspired by rfk. if he's going to pull out, those voters would go to trump, likely. in states like pennsylvania and wisconsin, michigan, swing states, it is such small margins. that could hurt democrats. they have to ring up the score, and i think they're hoping that they can continue to do that in the debate. that is the next big moment that all americans will be watching, and that is away for harris to try and steal the deal. great talk to you. thank you for joining us on the programme. —— seal

the deal. in sicily, the body of the final person missing after a luxury yacht sank has been located. tributes have been paid to 18—year—old hannah lynch — after divers recovered what was believed to be her body. hannah was the daughter of the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch, who also died when the vessel sank during a freak storm off the italian fishing village of porticello. the bodies of all seven people who died in the sinking have now been recovered. 15 people survived, including a one—year—old child. our correspondent in sicilyjess parker has the latest. in the last hour, the fire service have confirmed the recovery of the final missing person. there are have to be formal identification process, but it is believed to be hannah lynch, the 18—year—old daughter of the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch. his body was brought ashore yesterday. there's been a lot of activity in the last couple of hours

in the harbour behind me. an ambulance was driven away. we also heard some short, light bursts of applause from within the emergency service tents. perhaps teams marking the end of this phase of the operation, which as you say, has been complicated. the superyacht is 50 metres underwater, lying on the sea bed. now the final person has been recovered. focus even more is likely to turn to what was the cause of this tragedy. we are actually slept, we have learned this morning, to hear from the chief prosecutor who is leaving this investigation tomorrow. it is the first time we have heard from them in a press conference, so that could be an important moment. for now, what has happened in the last couple of hours is a sad marker in this operation. india's narendra modi has urged president zelensky to enter peace talks with russia to end the war.

on a visit to kyi, mr modi said, he would act as a "friend" to try to bring about a truce. last month, president zelensky criticised the prime minister for visiting vladmir putin in moscow on the day that dozens of people were killed in ukraine by russian missile strikes, including at a children's hospital. let's speak to jyoti malhotra — editor in chief, the tribune in india. thank you so much for being with us here live on the programme. what do you think narendra modi is trying to achieve with this visit to ukraine? this is the indian prime minister's first visit to ukraine since ukraine became independent in 1992, when the soviet union fell apart. it is an important visit, notjust because narendra modi was in moscow last month. that was a well publicised visit. but also because it is important for indians to know, and perhaps for the world to know, that

this war in ukraine is notjust being fought between russia and ukraine, but it is really between russia and the us, because if it were not for us sophisticated armaments and weaponry, as well as those from several countries in the west, including yourselves, the uk, this war between russia and ukraine would long be over. we know that russia and india have had a very long and old standing relationship with the former soviet union, as well as recently, so it is interesting that prime minister modi would go to a country where there is a war on, and so to reach out to the president there and say that you must stop this war, because that is what everyone wants, and it is a good message to lee. you what everyone wants, and it is a good message to lee.— what everyone wants, and it is a good message to lee. you think it is a aood good message to lee. you think it is a good message _ good message to lee. you think it is a good message to _ good message to lee. you think it is a good message to talk _ good message to lee. you think it is a good message to talk about - good message to lee. you think it is a good message to talk about urging president zelensky to enter peace

talks, because president zelensky has been absolutely clear with anyone who suggested that, he has thrown it back in so many of their faces, saying which part of your country would you want to give away if you were invaded? is that not the likely response that mr modi will get from him? i likely response that mr modi will get from him?— likely response that mr modi will get from him? i am not sure what president lenski _ get from him? i am not sure what president lenski is _ get from him? i am not sure what president lenski is going - get from him? i am not sure what president lenski is going to - get from him? i am not sure what president lenski is going to tell . president lenski is going to tell prime minister modi, because that is his prerogative, but i'm sure that the ukrainian president would have suggested to the indian prime minister to use his good offices to perhaps talk to the russians. i don't think you need the indian prime minister to talk to either the russians or the ukrainians, because the war is not between, like i said before, and what many of us in india believe, the war is not between russia and ukraine, russia and the us. �* , russia and ukraine, russia and the us. �* ., russia and ukraine, russia and the us. but india's position has not been helpful— us. but india's position has not been helpful in _ us. but india's position has not been helpful in terms _ us. but india's position has not been helpful in terms of- us. but india's position has not been helpful in terms of buying j us. but india's position has not i been helpful in terms of buying so much russian oil despite the western sanctions? that has really annoyed

many people in the west. there is going to be no change of that basic position from delhi, is there? prism, i don't understand what these western sanctions are. they are not un sanctions, are they? the are sanctions that the west conjured one morning when russia invaded ukraine. nobody in india defence that invasion. it was a bad move. having said that, russia does have security concerns, and it has been wanting to talk to the us as well as several countries in the west about the security concerns, which basically amount to the expansion of nato right up to the borders of russia. this has been a story that has been going on since 1992 when the soviet union fell apart, and going on since 1992 when the soviet union fellapart, and i going on since 1992 when the soviet union fell apart, and i think there must be... it union fell apart, and i think there must be- - -— must be... it is time for india to call out russia _ must be... it is time for india to call out russia as _ must be... it is time for india to call out russia as the _ must be... it is time for india to call out russia as the aggressor| call out russia as the aggressor here, isn't it?— here, isn't it? listen, india has never hesitated _ here, isn't it? listen, india has never hesitated in _ here, isn't it? listen, india has never hesitated in calling - here, isn't it? listen, india has never hesitated in calling out i here, isn't it? listen, india has. never hesitated in calling out any aggression. the fact remains that

this has been an invasion on russia's part in ukraine. that is a fact. uk cannot wish away that fact. there is another fact, fact. uk cannot wish away that fact. there is anotherfact, in fact. uk cannot wish away that fact. there is another fact, in the context. all of us as journalists and people who study history must understand that there's a context of things. this context is that russia feels that it is insecure. i am not speaking on behalf of the russians, but is not my thing. as an indian, i know that it is also about india's national interests and about what is right. if it is your national interest, to wish up sanctions against the russians, which are not un sanctions, he did not ask the united stations if you want to be sanctions. the point is that the russian invasion is a wrong invasion. russia should never have done that. indians do not support this invasion, but there is a middle ground which i think the russians and the americans... this warmth,

like i said before is between russia and the us. the pair ukrainians are and the us. the pair ukrainians are a pawn in this game. so and the us. the pair ukrainians are a pawn in this game.— and the us. the pair ukrainians are a pawn in this game. so much in your answer be contested _ a pawn in this game. so much in your answer be contested by _ a pawn in this game. so much in your answer be contested by the _ a pawn in this game. so much in your| answer be contested by the americans and the iranians have to leave it there, thank you forjoining us here on the programme. i have to injure there, because we have run out of time. thank you for your time. —— there, because we have run out of time. thank you foryourtime. —— i have to end youth there. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news.

you are watching bbc news. let's turn to the latest developments in the middle east. the us defence secretary lloyd austin says he has spoken his israelicounterpart to discuss a range of issues in the region, including the ongoing exchanges of fire on the israel—lebanon border and the need to finalise

a broader ceasefire deal. it comes, as un officials have confirmed the first case of polio in gaza for 25 years, with the disease partially paralysing a ten—month—old baby. the head of the world health organization has said, he's gravely concerned and that efforts are under way to roll out a vaccination programme in the coming weeks. let's speak to our correspondent injerusalem, wyre davies. let's start with a final part of what i have read out, there is considerable alarm about the outbreak of polio. brute considerable alarm about the outbreak of polio.— considerable alarm about the outbreak of polio. we have heard from the un _ outbreak of polio. we have heard from the un today _ outbreak of polio. we have heard from the un today confirming - outbreak of polio. we have heard i from the un today confirming what was expected, the pulley i comic polio is —— that polio is present in gas. it is a highly infectious disease, and a big concern is giving the sanitary conditions and the humanitarian crisis in gaza back at it could spread very quickly. it is one of the reasons why the un has called for a ceasefire, notjust for military reasons, but to allow more vaccines to be brought in and for

them to be distributed effectively. israel has pushed back a couple of times in the last few days on this, saying that a number of, hundreds of thousands of vaccines, have been sent into gaza. but with such a large displaced population were people living in such difficult conditions and with the war going on, it is very difficult to administer most if not all of those vaccines. some vaccines, we learned, have gone on again in the last 2a hours, but with this confirmed case of polio and the potential for a much bigger spread, that is another one of the considerations here and why some people are calling for a ceasefire so those vaccines can be delivered and administered. in terms ofthe delivered and administered. in terms of the ceasefire _ delivered and administered. in terms of the ceasefire negotiations, - delivered and administered. in terms of the ceasefire negotiations, all- of the ceasefire negotiations, all of the ceasefire negotiations, all of the ceasefire negotiations, all of the point is pretty bleak as it stands. how close are we or how far away are we to getting any sort of deal? ., , ., , , ., deal? the honest answer is that we 'ust reall deal? the honest answer is that we just really don't _ deal? the honest answer is that we just really don't know. _ deal? the honest answer is that we just really don't know. there -

deal? the honest answer is that we just really don't know. there are i just really don't know. there are conflicting reports coming from around the region. according to hamas officials, who have spoken to the bbc, hamas are not actively part of these talks in cairo. there's been no progress, they received nothing updated, they receive nothing updated, they receive nothing as far as they are concerned that persuade them that he ceasefire agreement is any closer. there are unconfirmed reports and parts of the israeli media that they are perhaps close to a breakthrough, and perhaps a new proposal would be delivered by the negotiators to hamas, who are not part of the talks. we do know is that israeli, egyptian and negotiators are in cairo. the biggest issue seems to be what is really troops would remain in which parts of gas are in the events of a ceasefire. there is an area, a border area between egypt and gaza, where perhaps both the egyptians and hamas would want the israelis to leapfrog, israel three benjamin netanyahu indicating that it wants

to maintain some sort of presence in the area. at the end of the day, depends both how much the hamas leadership in yahya sinwar and the israeli leadership and benjamin netanyahu are prepared to compromise in order to achieve a ceasefire and the return of the hostages. but not much concrete news coming out of egypt as we speak. much concrete news coming out of egypt as we speak-— much concrete news coming out of egypt as we speak. thank you a lot for that. as energy prices continue to be a concern for consumers in many countries, the uk energy regulator, 0fgem, 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. 0fgem says rising prices in the international energy market, because of heightened political tensions and extreme weather, are the main driver of the decision. ben boulos reports. at aj's cafe in doncaster, they know 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 average 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. 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 citizen's 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 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. iyou can get fixes in the regionl 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 at 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. staying here in the uk, high winds caused by storm lilian have brought widespread disruption ahead of the bank holiday weekend.

leeds and reading festival have been particularly affected and organisers have confirmed that the bbc radio one stage in leeds will be out of action today. you can see videos of the campsite at leeds festival. festivalgoers have been advised to stay in their tents, with gusts reaching up to 60 miles per hour. some attendees have complained about the situation and requested to have their tickets refunded. a volcano has erupted in iceland for the sixth time since december. the eruption, in the southwestern peninsula, has seen lava spewing into the air. incredible pictures there. these are the live pictures. the icelandic meteorological office said the eruption began at 21:26 local time following a series of earthquakes. iam back i am back with headlines and just a moment. hello. after bringing wind gusts of more than 70mph to some parts of the uk, storm lilian is already clearing away but the weekend does still look quite unsettled.

not as windy as it has been, but still fairly windy. some heavy rain at times. equally, some spells of sunshine. there goes storm lilian. this hook of cloud on the earlier satellite image clearing away northeastwards. we find ourselves right now in this slightly clearer slot, albeit with some showers. the showers most frequent up towards the north and the west of the uk, parts of northern ireland and scotland. staying pretty breezy, but not as windy as it has been. these are the wind gusts we can expect around the end of the afternoon. temperatures peaking at around 22 degrees across east anglia and the south east, scotland and northern ireland more like 1a to 17 degrees. now through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see some quite hefty showers. and for the second half of the night, this stripe of cloud and rain developing across southern and eastern parts of england, just fringing into the southeast of wales. a pretty mild night towards the south, slightly cooler and fresher further north and west, where we will start with a little bit of sunshine tomorrow morning.

not so further south. heavy rain for the channel islands. rain across a good part of central and southeastern england, and in spots to the southeast of london, we have this met office yellow warning, because some areas could possibly see up to 70mm of rain, so that could well give rise to some flooding and some travel disruption. that rain tending to clear around lunchtime, some hefty thundery showers behind. northern ireland and scotland seeing a mix of sunny spells and showers, but temperatures really quite disappointing for this point in august. 13 to 18 degrees at best. so what about sunday? well, high pressure tries to build from the south without an awful lot of success. low pressure still close by, so there will be some showers. in fact, a little frontal system here, bringing some more persistent rain across northern ireland, western scotland, parts of northern england and wales through the day. a little bit drier further south and east. those temperatures may be recovering to around 20 c. monday, which is a bank holiday for many of us, of course, it does look a little bit drier and a little bit warmer,

and it is set to turn warmer still for some of us as we head through next week.
