charge of the investigation at the moment into the attack, 17—year—old boy in croydon in south london. we will bring you more on that story, including andy moore's report, as soon as including andy moore's report, as soon as we including andy moore's report, as soon as we have it. landslides in southern colombia have left more than 250 people dead. police and rescue teams are at the scene — but their efforts are being hampered by darkness and bad weather. many people are still missing and it's feared the number of people who lost their lives could rise. heavy rains on friday night caused rivers to burst their banks in the town of mocoa, flooding homes with mud. the local governor has called the situation in the city an unprecedented tragedy. greg dawson has the latest. from the ground, you get a sense of the force of the mud which pushed cars through buildings and ripped trees from the ground. but it's from the air that the scale of the damage is apparent. mud and water stretching for miles. in some areas, there is no way in or out, with roads, bridges and entire neighbourhoods swept away. this is how many spent the night,

surrounded by their belongings which have now become debris. people without homes in a town without power or running water. by torchlight, rescue workers continue to look for signs of life. hundreds of people are still missing, many of them children. a list of their names and ages has been pinned to the walls of a family welfare unit. translation: we have lost a baby, who has gone missing, and the rest is as you can see. a little baby. we can't find him anywhere. one of those who came to see the devastation for himself was colombia's president. translation: we do not know how many deaths there are going to be. we are still searching. but the first thing i want to say is that my heart, our hearts, the hearts of all colombians are with the victims of this tragedy. unusually heavy rain on friday evening caused the mocoa river to burst its banks.

landslides might be common in this mountainous region but residents are shocked by the scale of the damage. translation: it has been threatening to happen for some time. at the top, there are unsteady lands but this took us by surprise. more than 1,000 troops and police officers have been sent to the region to help with the rescue effort but authorities have warned that the death toll is likely to keep rising. dimitri o'donnell is a reporter in the colombian captial bogota. he gave an update on the operation to save some of those caught up in the disaster. in the very early hours of this rescue operation, the biggest hurdle facing the search and rescue teams is trying to get access to macoa because many roads were simply washed away in the deluge of water or were just blocked. that prevented a lot of aid reaching the people who needed it most. as the day has developed, right now as darkness fell in macoa,

the search and rescue teams have been using thermal cameras attached to drones and they have been flying over some of the affected areas, trying to locate the people who are still trapped under the rubble, and it has been said that the survivors of this deluge, this massive mudslide, are being temporarily housed in three temporary shelters that have been set up by the colombian air force are due to deliver more water, aid and medicine to many parts of colombia because many areas are still without power and water. 50 tanker trucks arrive tonight bringing potable water which is badly needed for some residents. with me now is arturo wallace from bbc mundo. he's also a former colombia correspondent. thanks for being with us. do we have yet an accurate sense of the scale

of this disaster? the latest figures are 254 people dead, more than 200 still missing, and everybody expects that that total will rise in the next few hours. of course, it is massive. there are several neighbourhoods in macoa, which is nearly 50,000 people, the town com pletely nearly 50,000 people, the town completely destroyed. there were locals are saying that it felt like the sea had come. it was three rivers that overflowed but it was like the sea came and completely destroyed big parts of the city so, sadly, the number of fatalities will certainly rise and the government is already saying this is a historic tragedy. what about the provision for emergency help in colombia? is quite good? yes, they do have experience and the means but the problem is that mocoa is a very remote region and is difficult to

access, especially in this rainy season. roads are not very good so everything has to be transported by airand that everything has to be transported by air and that will hamper the efforts to rescue and also to reconstruct it up to rescue and also to reconstruct it up this is a critical period, the first 72 hours is really the only chance of getting people out alive. that is presumably a dilemma at the moment it could still a rescue operation and at some point becomes a recovery operation. absolutely. they're using thermal imagery, drones, everything they have at their disposal. there are also insta nces their disposal. there are also instances in which people can be found after 72 hours. this is critical but miracles happen afterwards and i'm sure colombians will be hoping that more people will be rescued. there was a lot of

water. everybody has been pointing out the fact that nearly 30% of the monthly rain in that region actually fell in one single day and, of course, that's a big part of the question but, also, where the city was established, the movement of the cultural border, as they call it, with the cutting trees and working the land, has had an effect and also it is quite amazing the amount of garbage, plastic bags and everything you can find near the other rivers in the places where the water should flow of the water to find another way. we should brace ourselves, i guess, for some bad news over the course of the next few days, beyond the initial impact of this tragedy. let's hope for some bright moments of hope for people. thanks very much. that is to row was from bbc

mundo talking about the mudslides that seem to have claimed so many lives. —— arturo wallace. four men and two women have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after a young asylum seeker was attacked in south london. andy moore reports. the young man, believed to be kurdish—iranian, was waiting at a bus stop late on friday night with two friends when he was approached by a group of about eight people. he was attacked after telling them where he came from. we believe it's a hate crime. prior to the attack taking place, the young person was asked where they were from and when they said that they were an asylum seeker, that is when that frenzied attack took place. police say the gang chased the young man round the corner into this street, where they kicked him in the head and left him on the floor, unconscious. after that, a number of members of the public came to help him. the attack only stopped when the sound of sirens was heard. the gang made off in the direction of this nearby pub. the young man was left with a fractured skull and a blood clot on his brain.

he is said to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital. his two friends escaped the attackers and received only minor injuries. the local mp said croydon had generally very good relations between people of different backgrounds. he called the incident an appalling crime against somebody who had come to this country to seek sanctuary. officials in pakistan say at least 20 people have been killed by the custodian of a sufi shrine. they believe abdul waheed drugged people at the shrine in the city of sargodha before killing them, using machetes and batons. he and five of his aides have been arrested. we can now cross to our pakistan correspondent secunder kermani, who's in islamabad. what is the background to this? it looks like more than just an isolated —— isolated terrible incident of violence. it is not

uncommon in pakistan for people to be killed in shrines whilst undergoing exorcisms, being treated for bad spirits. people have, on occasion, been beaten to death. but this kind of mass killing really is unusual and it has shocked people here. what we know about what has happened so far is that this incident took place in a shrine in a small village outside the city of sargodha. the man police believe to be responsible for the killing, a 50—year—old called abdul waheed, was a caretaker at this shrine and is also a spiritual leader. local residents in the village have been reported by saying —— are saying some of his followers would be regularly beaten, perhaps as a form of dispelling bad spirits. on this occasion, police say they believe abdul waheed called his disciples into a room, drugs of them and began attacking them with knives, machetes and clubs. around 20 people are believed to have been killed in the incident. abdul waheed and two

alleged accomplices have been arrested. the chief minister of punjab, the province where this has happened, has called for a full inquiry into the incident. at the moment, he is in custody, presumably. what sort of police investigation is taking place? well, the police have said that the suspect has reportedly confessed to them and said that he killed these followers of his because he believed that they were out to kill him, so the police have been suggesting that perhaps the suspect was mentally ill. that's one of the lines of inquiry but, as this incidentjust took place last night, the inquiry is still in its early stages. thanks very much forjoining us and giving us an very much forjoining us and giving us an update on that story out of pakistan. great britain'sjohanna konta is celebrating the biggest victory of her tennis career. it's her third world tour title, but easily the most significant. she won the miami open last night in 100 degree heat, beating former world number one caroline wozniacki in straight sets.

it moves konta up to seventh in the world rankings. it's the most notable victory by a british woman since virginia wade at wimbledon 40 years ago. we'll have much more on that in the sport shortly. police say today's oxford and cambridge boat races are expected to go ahead — despite the discovery of what's thought to be an unexploded second world war bomb in the thames. the device was spotted near putney bridge, close to where the race begins. a final decision on whether the races get the go—ahead will be made this morning. the women's race is due to start at 4.35 this afternoon, with the men's race an hour later. we will bring new confirmation of whether they are going ahead as soon as we get it. —— bring you

confirmation. the chancellor is to urge indian businesses to use the expertise of the city of london in the latest attempt by ministers to build trade links outside the european union. philip hammond's trade mission to delhi and mumbai is part of an effort to build a partnership with india as it tries to forge a future as a global manufacturing powerhouse. our business correspondent joe lynam has more. depending on how britain quits the eu, the city of london is set to lose thousands ofjobs in the coming years, as some banks and insurers leave to remain in the single market. now, the chancellor, philip hammond, is hoping to court new customers for britain's financial services expertise. he leads a delegation of business leaders, as well as the governor of the bank of england, mark carney, to india this week, hoping that indian companies will use the city of london to fund the estimated £i.2 trillion of spending needed to modernise india's infrastructure. the government also hopes to use the trip to open new markets in india for companies like transferwise, part of britain's rapidly growing financial technology or fin—tech sector. all of this forms the backdrop for a comprehensive free trade agreement which britain hopes

to sign with india once it formally leaves the eu. but that won't be easy — india has yet to sign any free trade deal with anyone and one stumbling block could be a demand by india to allow its citizens free movement to and from britain. ta ke take a look at the headlines on bbc news at exactly 10:15am... six people have been arrested after what was described as a brutal attack on a 17—year—old kurdish ivan iranian boy in south london. more than 250 people have been killed and many more are missing after severe mudslides in colombia. at least 20 people have been murdered at a shrine in pakistan's punjab province. sport now, and for a full round—up from the bbc sport centre, here's richard. thank you very much indeed. johanna konta says she's aiming

to become world number one after sealing the biggest title of her career at the miami open. konta will rise to seventh in the world when the new rankings are announced tomorrow. she beat former world number one caroline wozniacki in straight sets to seal her third world tour title, it was an absolutely amazing achievement. i think she actually didn't even play her best tennis. it was quite a jittery match against caroline wozniacki but once she got that first that under her belt she com pletely that first that under her belt she completely overpowered caroline in pretty much every department, serving, the returning was very aggressive and very aggressive groundstrokes from the back of the court and what is so impressive aboutjohanna konta is that two yea rs aboutjohanna konta is that two years ago she was a rant about 147 in the world and all of us knowjust how hard she has been putting in the ha rd how hard she has been putting in the hard yards. —— she was ranked top

she worked with a mental coach who, sadly, has now passed away. she put in some foundations for the work she has done mentally and all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle seem to be coming together and the calibre of players she has beaten this week — venus williams, a former seven times grand slam champion, a former world number two grand slam champion, a former world numbertwo in grand slam champion, a former world number two in simona halep, and then caroline wozniacki. .. number two in simona halep, and then caroline wozniacki... an amazing achievement. manchester city can reclaim third place in the premier league today with a win over arsenal at the emirates stadium. that match kicks off at four. before that, swansea host middlesbrough. yesterday, chelsea saw their lead at the top of the table cut to seven points after they fell to a shock defeat at home to crystal palace. wilfried za ha equalised for the visitors before christian benteke scored the winner just 91 seconds later. it was chelsea's first defeat at stamford bridge since september. now it is important to rest and

prepare the next game but, for sure, there is a bit of disappointment for there is a bit of disappointment for the final result to talk i think we deserved at least a draw but this is football and we must accept these results. tottenham stay second after a 2—0 win at burnley. england international eric dier scored the first. delle alli set up son heung min for the second to seal victory and keep spurs title dream alive. its massive for us because after the game that chelsea lost, we were at seven points now but it is important for us to be there if chelsea fail and we are there, we are there fighting for the premier league we are fighting to be as high as possible. elsewhere, hull city got a crucial

three points in their battle to get out of the relegation zone — they came from behind to beat west ham 2—1. and there was another defeat for bottom side sunderland — they lost 1—0 at watford. celtic will win their sixth consecutive league title if they beat hearts later today. brendan rodgers's side are 22 points ahead of their nearest rivals aberdeen in the scottish premiership. my myjob was to win it in the best way that we possibly could. there were different ways to win. people will tell you that have experienced it, you can win something and it not be the same feeling but to win and foster the spirit we have throughout the whole football club can make it really special and, also, the way we've played football. bbc sport understands that shelley kerr will become the new manager of the scotland women's team. she'll take overfrom anna signeul, who will step down after this summer's european championships having been in charge for 12 years. kerr twice led arsenal ladies to fa cup success and has also managed hibs, kilmarnock and spartans.

charley hull's hopes of winning the first golf major in the women's calendar — the ana inspiration tournament — appear to be over going into today's final round in california. she finished second last year, but after a round of 71, she's eight shots behind this woman — america's lexi thompson — who heads the field on 13 under par overall. she narrowly missed out on a birdie at the seventh there. that's all the sport for now. you can keep up—to—date with all those stories and keep track of snooker‘s china open final, where mark selby currently leads mark williams numeric 5—4, on the bbc website, bbc.co.uk/ sport. i will have more in the next hour. the first minister of gibraltar has dismissed a suggestion by the eu that the uk would need to agree a

deal with spain about its future after brexit. 96 present people into balta voted to remain in the eu. the european council says the status of the territory should be decided by both the uk and spain. with me is our political correspondent heavy price. you were watching these exchanges on the andrew marr show this morning. an unexpected development, this. nobody was talking about gibraltar at all this week and suddenly on friday, it seemed burst out of nowhere. yes, we have talked about the article 50 letter that theresa may wrote to the eu, then the reciprocal eu draft guidelines from the european council about how they might like to former negotiations and suddenly, as it would seem, out of nowhere, gibraltar exploded, where it seems that spain would be given a veto over any future eu trade deal with gibraltar. clearly, as you mention, that has upset people in gibraltar because it seems to suggest that they might be left out of any forthcoming deal. today we heard again from the chief minister of

gibraltar, the top man there, who said that that simply couldn't happen but, crucially, he is not particularly worried about it. here is what he had to say. it is very clear that we're entering a negotiation and what we are seeing, which has not been seen on the british side, by the way, are the negotiating guidelines, the parameters that will limit the operation of the negotiation on the pa rt of operation of the negotiation on the part of the council. that's how they are going into the negotiation. this is their best case. let's see what comes out of that. i am sure the uk will be batting for gibraltar and i'm sure the people of gibraltar know that in the context in which we are doing, we have an important neighbour in the north with whom we have to being contacted top there has been a sense of playing down the importance of this. the importance of what this might mean for gibraltar. you saw the chief minister playing it down. the government have been playing it down and a lot has been made of the fact that gibraltar wasn't mentioned in theresa may's article 50 letter. she

didn't mention that gibraltar would bea didn't mention that gibraltar would be a crucial part. the government says it was alluded to in the great repeal at white paper. they suggested it was cross—referenced and has been talked about in these negotiations. we didn't see it, we just saw the letter. maybe they sent a copy of the white paper to donald tusk. they say, we have thought about it. today the defence secretary, sir michael fallon, was also on the andrew marr show. the letter was about notification, the formal notification that we're leaving, and about the process of negotiation, how we want the talks to be handled. the letter referred to be handled. the letter referred to the brexit white paper and gibraltar is firmly in that white paper. i think you'll find eight separate references to gibraltar in the white paper and all the different issues that we've got to deal with are set out in that white paper, whether it is the position of the city of london or the fisheries policy, gibraltar and everything

else. the point so michael fallon was making was that these negotiation so that started so let's not get overexcited and they're going to be plenty of these little issues — i say little issues, big issues — i say little issues, big issues that come up — that are incredibly difficult to find common ground on on both sides and i think there is a sense in government that we can't react to every single one that comes up. it is not the only element of the brexit debate which is potentially causing difficulties. a suggestion that surfaced a couple of days ago that maybe the government was trying a bit of blackmail towards the eu over whether it would continue its cooperation on security and counterterrorism. there is suggested in theresa may's letter that if we don't have a deal... we need to have a deal because we need to have security cooperation as much as britain and the eu needs to have economic co—operation. michael fallon in his interview was pointed out that britain has spent a huge amount of defence and security and that would be something that the eu

would be keen to continue to cooperate on. again, the government suggesting, this wasn't blackmail, it is just pointing out some of britain's's strengths in that if you don't have any kind of deal or relationship with europe, europe couldn't hope to share in britain's security capabilities. thanks very much. we will talk to you in the course of the morning. a former government advisor is calling for a change in the law to force doctors to tell the authorities when a patient is no longerfit to drive. the campaign started after the death of three—year—old poppy—arabella clarke, who was killed crossing the road by a pensioner who'd been warned to stop driving because of poor eyesight. barrister daniel sokol who has advised the ministry of defence and ministry ofjustice says the authorities shouldn'tjust rely on the honesty of the patient. if the patient says, "well, of course, doctor, i will finish driving," and doesn't, that usually isn't followed up so you may have someone on the roads at the moment who is blind as a bat or may have an epileptic seizure and who could cause tremendous harm to other people.

at least 18 people have been injured after the lighting of a carnival bonfire went wrong at an event in a north—east suburb of paris. dramatic video posted on social media showed a pyre exploding seconds after a fuse was ignited, sending debris over the crowd. police said a wooden figure had been doused with petrol before being lit. the incident happened at the end of the yellow carnaval at villepinte. the group that calls itself islamic state took control of iraq's second largest city mosul two and a half years ago, damaging priceless assyrian and sumerian antiquities in a campaign to erase elements of cultural history. now under control of the iraqi security forces, our middle east editorjeremy bowen has been to see the damage done to mosul‘s museum. these were the statues of gods, sumerian gods, and they were were great big statues with wings,

feet with claws, and the faces and torsos of humans. you can see on it cuneiform. cuneiform writing is one of the earliest kind of alphabets, about 5,000 years old, and it's considered one of the greatest contributions to civilisation. and this wasn'tjust cultural vandalism, though it was that, it was an attempt to remake history, to destroy a civilisation, to destroy a memory. the things that contributed to making this part of the world special. inside there are large... what were once, i suppose, exhibition rooms. high ceilings, pillars, it's a classic museum. now, in other buildings here, other parts of the museum here, you can see that this wasn't

just an exhibition hall, it was a working museum. a place of research. and when they came here to destroy all of this, they were also trying to create something new. their caliphate. a return to the golden age of islam. but far from being that, it turned into the exercise of a brutal, vicious tyranny. rumbling you hear the noise outside? it's brought war down onto the iraqi people once again. let's ta ke let's take a look at the weather prospects on what looks like a glorious weekend. tomasz schafernaker has the details. nice, sunny weather today, very different yesterday with all the sombre storms

and hailstorms. today just yesterday with all the sombre storms and hailstorms. todayjust a few harmless cloud. if you are very unlucky, you might catch a light shower across the eastern areas, lincolnshire into east anglia looks very light so not particularly unlucky. a nice day, temperatures up to 17 in london, for most of us around 13 or 14 and the winds are light, the sun is quite strong. perfect! this evening, it is clear, then by the time you get to the early hours of monday morning, it sta rts early hours of monday morning, it starts to cloud over across western parts of the uk so i suspect there will be rain getting into belfast just in time for the rush—hour. for the rest of the country, it is clear, but bit of mist and fog around for the first few hours on monday so take it steady if you are an early—morning monday so take it steady if you are an ea rly—morning traveller. monday so take it steady if you are an early—morning traveller. rain pushes into northern ireland, western scotland and just about into the north—west of england and wales by the middle of the afternoon. bye— bye. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines:

six people have been arrested after what's been called a brutal attack on a 17—year—old kurdish iranian boy in south london. police are treating the incident as a hate crime. more than 250 people have been killed, many more are missing, after mudslides in colombia. the president has declared a state of emergency in the region. at least 20 people have been murdered at a sufi shrine in pakistan's punjab province. the university boat race is expected to go ahead, after a suspected world war two bomb was discovered on the banks of the thames. now come on bbc news, it is time for inside out. hello, what happens when one of the south's busiest roads meets one of the world's most important and skates.
