of europe's continuing migrant crisis and of course the latest troubles at the trump administration. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. the family of a man who died after being apprehended by police has appealed for peace, after unrest broke out on the streets in the wake of his death. the independent police complaints commission is investigating the death of 20—year—old rashan charles. last night angry clashes broke out as protesters blocked a road in dalston, east london, and set mattresses alight. richard lister reports. the tension had been building all afternoon. a peaceful protest about the death of a young man in police custody in east london beginning to turn

into something else. the police were out in force trying to maintain calm, but it didn't last. by ten o'clock, a fleet of police vans was facing a burning barricade and an angry crowd. fireworks and bottles were thrown. hundreds of officers trying to keep people back. move away, the dogs are coming out. police in full riot gear repeatedly tried to clear the street. mounted officers were brought in too. it took at least another hour for some kind of order to be established, debris still smouldering on the streets. the confrontation was sparked by death of rashan charles. he was chased into a shop by police a week ago. officers say he tried to swallow something. there was a struggle and he became ill. just over an hour later, rashan charles was declared dead. he was 20.

he is the third young man to die after being stopped by police in london injust over a month. it has stirred up long—standing grievances here. they're angry and they're confused because they're not being represented in life itself. they have to sell drugs. they have to carry knives because they're living in fear. they have no spirituality. they have to sell drugs? yeah. why? they're forced into situations where they don't understand how to live, how to make money, how to work for what they want because they don't want to work for the system. this morning, the council has been cleaning up and trying to move on. it's spent the week trying to ease concerns in this community. the charles family has warned that hostile actions by demonstrators are unhelpful. people are gathering in hackney again today. i'm quite worried that people want to come from outside of hackney, haven't been part any of those protests this week and haven't listened to the family's requests and don't necessarily have the motivation of having a peaceful protest. so i think as long as it remains peaceful, people should be able to obviously gather.

the independent police complaints commission says it will seek to answer the questions from rashan charles‘ family about his death and will follow the evidence wherever it leads. richard lister, bbc news. our correspondent simon jones is in hackney. you are just you arejust outside you are just outside the police station where this video is being held and people have been speaking through the afternoon. what have they been saying? the vigil has now finished but people gathered here demanding a nswe i’s , people gathered here demanding answers, wanting justice as they see it. what happened was a lot of the crowd were holding pictures of rashan child along with placards saying adjusted for rashan, among the crowd was his father and a spokesperson for the family addressed the crowd. they said what they did not want to see is any sort of violence on the streets. they said they were determined to get

justice but they said burning down communities, setting fire to things, they like we saw in the violence last night, was not going to help in that process to get any sort of justice. the crowd was also addressed by the local mp, diane abbott. i‘m here to show my support for the families and the parents of edson and rashan. because that is the call that every parent dreads. the call that tells you that your young child has died in those sorts of circumstances. i have been in contact with the police from the beginning. but i thought it important to come here today to publicly show my support, as a member of the community, a mother and as your member of parliament. i agree with what stafford has said

about the importance of peace on the streets. violence is not the answer. but i am here to assure the parents and the community that i will stand by the parents in their fight for the truth. most of us will have seen the video and there are questions to be answered and i will not rest until those questions are answered. the message from diane abbott and rashan charles‘ family is that violence is not the answer. last night we saw one police officer injured after fireworks and bottles we re injured after fireworks and bottles were thrown and also a member of the public was pushed off their bike and assaulted. come here today but the police will be keeping a very close eye on this situation as it goes into the evening. thank you. some breaking news coming from south

africa. it is being reported by the national news station that two people have been killed and several injured at the stampede at the stadium which is also known as the national stadium, i understand. two people killed and several people injured at the stadium, also known as soccer city. this has been reported by a television news in johannesburg, south africa. the north korean leader kimjong—un claims any target on the us mainland is now within striking range. it follows his military‘s latest intercontinental missile test, the second test within a month. as with previous launches, the event was celebrated by north korean state media. this report by our

correspondent karen allen. cloa ked in darkness, state run tv captured the final moments before the missile launch. a potent symbol of north korea‘s defiance in the face of international sanctions. its leader kim jong—un there to witness it all. then the dramatic lift—off. and the moment that pyongyang thumbed its nose at the world. the second launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile in less than a month. it travelled higher and further than the missile fired before, eventually smashing down into the ocean off the coast of japan. then came the official confirmation from pyongyang. the newsreader announcing that this test was proof that the whole of the us is now within reach. pictures show a triumphant north korean leader. in washington, president trump described the tests as reckless and dangerous.

the reaction from north korea‘s neighbour in the south was equally harsh. translation: dashing the international community‘s hopes have eased inter—korean military tensions and in particular, seoul‘s offer of bilateral military talks. these joint us south korea military drills a response to the launch, designed to send a clear message that seoul and washington stand shoulder—to—shoulder in the face of an increasingly belligerent north korea. the us already has battleships in the pacific ocean. now, it has promised to scale up its strategic assets in response to this latest threat. more aircraft carriers and stealth bombers could soon be on the way. a jubilant kim jong—un wants us recognition as a nuclear power. instead, in the wake of another missile test,

he‘s likely to face stiffer sanctions with china and russia under pressure not to stand in the way. president trump has described his new chief of staff, john kelly, as a true star of his administration — after reince priebus stood down from the post. mr trump said mr kelly, a retired military general, had done a spectacularjob as the head of homeland security, where he introduced a tougher immigration policy. the resignation of mr priebus came after he was criticised by the president‘s new communications director, anthony scaramucci, who accused him of leaking to the press. here‘s our north america correspondent peter bowes. another tweet, another resignation, another day in the trump presidency. reince priebus is the latest senior figure in the white house to leave his job prematurely.

the shortest serving chief—of—staff in history. he is being replaced by a retired four—star general. john kelly is currently in charge of the department of homeland security. donald trump revealed that reince priebus had been replaced at the end of a tumultuous week in washington. earlier, the two men travelled together to an event in long island, where mr trump lavished praise onjohn kelly. one of our real stars. truly one of our stars. the president was heading back to the white house that he tweeted news of general kelly‘s newjob. he spoke briefly to reporters. reince is a good man. john kelly will do a fantasticjob. general kelly has been a star. done an incredible job thus far. respected by everybody. a great, great american. reince priebus a good man. there was a time when they seemed so close. ever since the election, the right—hand man, reince priebus, rarely far from the president‘s side. but he tendered his resignation on thursday, following what he said

was several days of discussions. the president wanted to go in a different direction. i support him in that. the president has a right to hit a reset button. i think it‘s a good time to hit the reset button. i think he was right to hit the reset button and i think that it was something that i think the white house needs. i think it‘s healthy and i support him in it. asked about an interview in which he was described by the new white house communications chief, anthony scaramucci, as "a paranoid schizophrenic," mr priebus said "he didn‘t want to get into the mud." next week a new start at the white house with a general in charge. let‘s get a bit more background on the president‘s new chief of staff, generaljohn f kelly. as a four star general he holds the highest possible rank in the us military. during a career spanning four decades he served as a commanding general in iraq.

his son robert died in action when he stepped on a landmine in afghanistan in 2010. it made general kelly the highest ranking officer to lose a child in the afghan and iraq wars. president trump appointed him the secretary of homeland security injanuary, where he was responsible for borders, immigration and cyber security. he‘s said in the past that a border wall between the us and mexico is essential because of threats entering the united states. earlier i spoke to scott lucas, professor of american studies at the university of birmingham. he described the white house in the past week as "chaotic". the watchword you‘ll get from trump and loyalists will be, oh, it‘s stability now, everything is sorted out. but the fact is that the immediate cause of this is that the new appointment, a communications director named anthony scaramucci

with no communications experience made it his first priority to get rid of arrival, reince priebus, the chief of staff and the president has accepted that. instead of chastising scaramucci over the foul mouth comments he made, the insults at priebus, trump has decided not only to dismiss priebus but did so very, very quickly, not even allowing the chief of staff a week to prepare for departure. but the wider context is important here. this latest event comes 2a hours after the white house failed to get its first major piece of legislation, the repeal of obama care. it comes as the trump—russia investigation is expanding, it comes as there is an eminent crisis over the federal budget coming up in september and rather than deal with this, trump is going into his bunker, surrounding himself with family, with associates like scaramucci and with generals like john kelly. aboutjohn kelly, i mean, what is he bringing to thejob? what‘s the appeal there for mr trump? what trump thinks he brings is what trump values above all else, that is unquestioned loyalty.

at homeland security, john kelly has been quite vocal in supporting the very aggressive anti—immigration policies of the trump administration, he‘s been vocal in whipping up the idea that america is under threat, a trump theme. but the question is, whether kelly serves just as a yes man for trump or whether he allied with other pragmatists in the administration, military men like james mattis at the pentegon, hr mcmaster at the national security council. in other words, the idea that the only way to hem in trump now from causing further damage is this effectively military alliance within the executive. did mr trump, you heard mr priebus there speaking about a reset of of the administration, did mr trump needs that? it was only six months in, wasn‘t it? we‘re not talking about a systematic reset or anything that is coherent. we are talking about something day after day where trump decides someone has to go or be scapegoated. remember a few days earlier, it was the attorney generaljeff sessions,

who was being humiliated by trump because trump blames him for not controlling the trump—russia investigation. next week it could be somewhere else within the administration. right now trump is denouncing republicans in congress who turned against the health care bill. the fact is that trump, who tried to run this like business, cannot understand politics where you don‘t get what you want and instead of trying to compromise or reset, he simply goes on twitter and launches his latest rant. well, it was interesting, wasn‘t it? that he‘d announced, he had made this announcement via twitter. do you think the mr trump has all his players in place, the budget is coming up in front of congress, will he be happy with his players and where they are? no, because these players are not all on the same team. they do not even know what position they are playing. among the white house has been divided between the pragmatists, reince priebus was one, mike pence was on the other, the via

breathers. even that has been overshadowed by the fact that trump is no longer going to extremes tans to talk about health care, education, the economy, foreign policy bickering to someone like anthony scaramucci is fixed in new york, going to his daughter, his son—in—law, even as his son—in—law is caught up in the investigation, trump is not advancing to try and deal with issues. he is retreating and twitter just happens deal with issues. he is retreating and twitterjust happens to be the outlet where he can pretend that everything is ok. that was professor scott lucas talking to me earlier. the headlines on bbc news: angry clashes in east london after a protest over the death of a man who was restrained by police last week. north korea says that its latest missile test proves the whole of the us mainland is within range of its weapons. president trump names retired military generaljohn kelly as his new chief of staff after reince priebus stood down from the post.

and in sport, rain has stopped play at the third test but england are 7a for one in their second innings against south africa. they lead by 252 runs after bowling the tourists out for 175. ferarri have hit form in hungary with formula one championship leader sebastian vettel claiming pole position ahead of team mate kimi raikkonen. britain‘s lewis hamilton could only qualify in fourth. and in the first of rugby league‘s challenge cup semi finals, defending champions hull fc have a 37—18 lead against leeds rhinos with a few minutes remaining. i will be back with more on this stories at half past five. it‘s emerged that uk universities have a pension fund with a deficit that has grown to more than £17 billion — the largest in the uk. the universities superannuation scheme caters for existing and retired academics. pension specialistjohn ralfe —

who‘s been monitoring the scheme‘s progress for many years — says the deficit is down to poor management. i think the root cause of it is the uss trustees going down to the casino and betting the money they have been given by universities on equities. i‘ve just checked the figures this morning, in 2008, the scheme was in surplus. a lot of people, including me, have been warning that this was a problem. uss have been kicking the can down the road for a number of years and i think now, they will have to face up to it and do something. what is the bet the trustees have made that hasn‘t paid off? they have been taking money from individual members of the scheme and from employers, could have putting that in safe investments, bonds, which match the pensions. but they haven‘t, they have been putting the assets into equities, hedge funds and other complex and risky bets.

our business correspondent, joe lynam explained how difficult it would be to clear the pension scheme‘s deficit. if you have a pensions black hole and you‘re a private pensions, basically a savings scheme, the government is not going to bail you out because it‘s private. your options are, you ask the existing people who would benefit from this scheme, academics, lecturers, to take another pay cut. they did that last year. they got their benefits cut last year. they won‘t be keen on that. if you ask them to take another pay cut, they may say, i‘m moving to germany or canada or the states. option two, you ask donors to pay more money, wealthy people who studied at these universities, to cough up more, but will they do that for a pension scheme? easy for oxford and cambridge, but not much for the less well known universities. last option, you ask students to pay more. that‘s controversial. there is a £9000 tuition cap on fees, would they go

back to the government and say, we need to raise that even further, or start charging students for other things? maybe charging to use the wi—fi, or other things. it all makes a big headache, and you don‘t want to deter students as the uk emerges on this new post—eu path. north wales police are searching for a missing 5—year—old girl. detectives believe molly owens, from holyhead in anglesey, may be with her father — brian george owens — who failed to attend a court hearing yesterday. two men have been arrested by police investigating two separate rape attacks on a schoolgirl. the 14—year—old girl was assaulted in a secluded part of birmingham‘s witton railway station on tuesday night. when she flagged down a passing carfor help, she was attacked a second time. nearly a quarter of shops

are breaking the law, by selling knives to underage people, some as young as 13—years—old, according to figures from the local government association. adina campbell has more. with knife crime at its highest level in six years in england and wales, retailers are under increasing pressure to do more to tackle the problem. local trading standards teams tried to buy knives earlier this year. almost one in four shops they visited were found to be selling knives to people underage. seven out of 29 retailers, including two major supermarkets, in areas like devon, somerset and bristol, sold a blade to a person under 18. they included a machete, a lock knife and kitchen knives. last year, similar test purchases were carried out by london trading standards, with eight knives a month being sold to children as young as 13.

safety campaigners are now calling for tougher rules. these rules should be applied. if they continue to do this, they should be punished and put out of business. it‘s illegal to sell knives to anyone under the age of 18, but in scotland 16 to 18—year—olds can buy a kitchen knife or cutlery. shops caught breaking the law face six months in prison or a fine of up to £5,000. the local government association says more needs to be done to stop lives being put at risk, and shops need to put up higher safety checks. adina campbell, bbc news. a 60 metre crane has fallen over onto an old primark store in reading. police and fire crews attended the scene and there are no reported injuries, but there are road closures reported in central reading as a result. when waheed arian was a young boy growing up in afghanistan,

he witnessed the suffering of war. many years later and he‘s now an emergency medic living in chester and is using virtual reality to help today‘s victims of violence in his homeland. here‘s our world affairs editor, john simpson. we hear plenty of depressing stories about afghanistan, but this isn‘t one of them. quite the opposite, in fact. afghanistan has one of the lowest standards of medical care in the world — the doctors often aren‘t very highly trained, and their equipment is pretty basic. but they can contact dr waheed arian. an afghan who qualified as a doctor in britain, he can give them detailed medical advice using social media — from his home in chester, he takes messages day and night.

he calls it telemedicine. they don‘t have the up—to—date technologies, they don‘t have the cutting—edge expertise, they don‘t have advanced evidence—based medicine. so they need any expertise or any advice that‘s more world—class here, that is very useful for them. so i‘ll take the arrow and place it... now he and his team are developing new ways of showing doctors there what to do. it went very well — we discussed a medical case, we solved the problem, it was a live case in one of the hospitals in kabul, afghanistan, and using augmented reality, we discussed it, and we managed the problem. as a boy in the 1980s, waheed had to escape from the russians who‘d invaded his country. he and his family were lucky to survive. when civil war flared up in afghanistan, his parents sent him on his own to britain.

he was 15 and didn‘t speak much english, yet within four years he was studying medicine at cambridge. and he became passionate about helping people in the country of his birth. i‘d seen so much suffering in my childhood, and that suffering was still very vivid in my memory, and i wanted to see if i could help in any way alleviate that suffering from many people that were in a similar position to mine as a child. he doesn‘t get much time with his family in chester. he‘s taken leave of absence to develop his telemedicine ideas, but in order to pay the bills, he has to work every weekend as an a&e doctor. yes, he is away a lot, and it can be hard, and it can be lonely at times, when you are on your own, and you're seeing all the other families out, but on the other side,

i know that he's doing amazing things for humanity, he's going to be saving thousands of lives, so i look at the positive. we‘ve come a long way in just two years, and where helping in places that have no other support, and this is so important. lives are at stake, and we can help save those lives. waheed arian has survived a lot. helping others in afghanistan to survive is, he says, his therapy. john simpson, bbc news. viewers in the north west of england can watch the full the full documentary, waheed‘s wars — saving lives across the world on monday evening at 7pm on bbc one. it will then be available on the iplayer shortly afterwards. it is time for the all—important weather. rain will be sweeping across the country through the rest of today

and into tonight. where tim briefly particularly across the southern pa rt particularly across the southern part of the uk where this weather front is moving across to the north of that so far, sunny spells and showers. not so bad. really a lot of different weather across the country right now. this will continue sweeping from the west into wales, southern parts of england, the southeast and then eventually moves through the midlands tonight. by the end of the night, hull in newcastle has the rain, whereas many western and southern areas dry out, some clear spells across the north as well. tomorrow, quite breezy day on the way. initially some rain in the north—east, then sunshine and then the showers come off the atlantic and it is going to be a very changeable day. some of us might mist the showers, particularly across the far south—east there but be prepared to catch them almost anywhere in the uk. hello.
