tony hancock has been found almost 50 years after his death. and you can hear some of that episode and around 20 minutes. and robot nurses, robot rabbits and dancing aliens. this week's click takes a look at the latest technological developments. good afternoon and welcome to bbc news. we start with some breaking news this afternoon. that has come within the last half—hour at bbc news. detectives investigating an incident where a crossbow bolt was loosed into the oval cricket ground have arrested a man. the 35—year—old man was arrested on suspicion of attempted grievous

bodily harm this morning, after attending a south london police station. he has since been bailed pending further enquiries to a date in late september. an arrest has been made in connection with the crossbow incident at the oval cricket ground. that was on thursday, when the match was suspended. the ground was evacuated. more on this as and when we get it. the metropolitan police has confirmed it's paid compensation to the former chief of the defence staff field marshal lord bramall, and the family of the late home secretary lord brittan, who were both falsely accused of child sexual abuse. both men were named by an informant known as "nick" who's now being investigated for allegedly perverting the course ofjustice. angus crawford reports.

they were horrifying allegations, of a paedophile ring at the heart of the establishment, but they all proved to be false. during 0peration midland, police raided the homes of the former chief of the defence staff lord bramall, ex—home secretary leon brittan, and former tory mp harvey proctor. all on the say—so of this one man, nick, whose real identity can't be revealed. but a scathing review of the investigation found nick's credibility wasn't properly assessed, search warrants were inaccurate, and the investigation went on too long. it's now been confirmed that lord bramall and lord brittan‘s widow have received compensation from the met. reports suggest as much as £100,000. the d—day veteran, speaking last year, questioned the way detectives handled the inquiry. i've never complained about being investigated. it was only the heavy—handed

and the unintelligent way that they went about it. i mean, i think they could have said, well, look,... if they'd taken any trouble to put their effort onto questioning the so—called victim, i think they would have found that it was very unlikely. it's thought former mp harvey proctor, also cleared of any wrongdoing, has yet to agree a settlement. the true cost of the failed 0peration midland is still being reckoned. angus crawford, bbc news. nearly 60,000 rohingya, the muslim minority in myanmar, whose population is majority buddhist, have fled the country after violence erupted a week ago. the united nations says scores of people are reported to have died since rohingya militants attacked police positions. subsequent clashes have

sent civilians from all communities fleeing. sanjoy majumder has been to a refugee camp on the bangladesh—myanmar border, from where he's sent us this report. exhausted and traumatised after escaping death. many of these rohingyas have walked for hours across hills, and wading through paddy fields to avoid border patrols before making it here. these are fresh arrivals, rohingyas who have just arrived after crossing the border, and with every passing hour, there are more and more of them coming. there is absolutely no space left any more, so they are just living on any piece of open ground they can find, and many of them have the most disturbing testimony to share. i meet a man who is nursing a bullet wound in his foot. he tells me that his village, just across the border, was attacked, allegedly by the myanmar military and armed mobs. translation: so many people were killed.

theyjust set fire to everything. ijust ran. they were shooting at us and i got hit. there were people whose throats were slashed with knives. there had been reports of villages being torched and hundreds of rohingyas being killed in myanmar‘s rakhine state. the violence kicked off after a rohingya militant group attacked dozens of police posts in the area last week. those who can have fled the fighting, building temporary shelters and trying to make a home for themselves. bangladesh, after initially trying to stop them coming, is now letting them in. so, for now, this represents freedom. but at what cost, and what lies ahead? the campaigning group human rights watch says new satellite imagery from myanmar shows that more than 700 homes have been burned down

in a rohingya muslim village. the group said the pictures had prompted serious concerns that the level of destruction might be far worse than originally thought. speaking to the bbc, phil robertson, deputy asia director of human rights watch, described what they saw. this specific satellite imagery which we were able to get, frankly through a break in the clouds during monsoon season, shows the complete destruction of a rohingya village. as far as we can tell the destruction took place on the 25th, in the morning, and it appears to have been complete and total. approximately 99% of the buildings are destroyed in that village. with me now is anbarasan ethirajan, south asia editor for the bbc world service. thank you forjoining us. first, why

this flared why no? the myanmar government says that hundreds of rohingya muslims, they attacked security checkpoints, military bases, about ten days ago. that started this flare—up. they responded by counterattacking the suspected militants. but people from these areas have been fleeing into bangladesh. they say they are being systematically attacked by the army, and that is why they had to flee myanmarfor their lives. now and that is why they had to flee myanmar for their lives. now they are sheltering in bangladesh. but the myanmar government says 400 people, most of them rohingya militants, they have been killed, including 12 security personnel in the last week. how unusual is it for the last week. how unusual is it for the rohingyas to take up arms and fight by? it is very rare. for the last 20 or 30 years, we have been hearing reports of a crackdown on

rohingya muslim villagers, clashes between buddhists and rohingya muslims. people are fleeing. this is a rare case of people taking up arms, if you go by what the myanmar government says. we do not know exactly what happened inside the northern rakhine state. the government does not allow un officials or independent monitors to inspect what has happened. this has been a version of the myanmar government, we do not know what happened inside. but thousands of people are coming into bangladesh. i was speaking to one of the un officials earlier, and she said do almost reaching breaking point in those camps. bangladesh has its own problems. they are suffering from floods at the moment. how are they coping? bangladesh says they cannot ta ke coping? bangladesh says they cannot take any more refugees in the country. there are already 4000 rohingya refugees in that country.

bangladesh is not a rich country. 0ne bangladesh is not a rich country. one third of the country was under water in the floods a couple of weeks ago. they have been urging the government of myanmar to take back these refugees. in the last 25 yea rs, hardly these refugees. in the last 25 years, hardly anyone has gone back to myanmar. the un special representative has warned that if the situation is not resolved soon, there is a danger that people will be radicalised in the northern rakhine state. also warnings of a humanitarian crisis developing, possibly? thousands of rohingya muslims are still fleeing, coming into bangladesh and the camps are filling up fast. they say that one of the camps could reach breaking point in the coming days because they have to provide food, shelter, medicine to these people. many of them are injured, they say they have been shot at by the myanmar forces. they have to provide these facilities and they say that 60,000

people have come in the past week, adding to the strain on the un agencies. thank you very much. president trump is heading back to texas and also louisiana to meet people directly affected by the floods. more than a million residents have been forced from their homes and 50 are feared dead from tropical storm harvey. the president has asked congress for an initial payment of £6 billion for aid. a grammar school which forced pupils to leave half—way through their course because of their exam results has reversed its decision. parents at st 0laves in south—east london began legal action after students who did not get at least a b—grade at as—level were told they could not continue. the lawyer representing the families says the school has changed its mind. 0ur news correspondent

angus crawford has more. it is almost like a policy of post selection, which, on the surface of it, is unlawful. st 0laves is an outstanding school, founded in the 16th century, a long history of academic achievement, this year it got 96% at a star to b at a—level and therein appears to lie the problem. it was an open secret at the school that if in your first year of a—level study you did not hit b grades in your subjects, you would be asked to leave. this year it appears that that happened to two pupils. very small numbers? very small numbers this year but clearly a policy of some years standing. what happened was that the parents of these children began to take legal action, they threatened to sue the school, claiming that the department for education's rules are clear, you cannot post—select at a—level, you can only be asked to leave a school for behaviour or other problems. 0n the face of this legal action, the school has backed down and said those pupils can come back and also

that policy will be abandoned. peter read is a former head teacher, who now offers an advice service on education and schools. he says the scandal is far more widespread than a few grammar schools. the pressure on schools today is immense, to deliver, deliver. league tables are forcing all sorts of things to go wrong in schools. this isjust one example, but it is destroying the careers of young people. i have had an e—mail today. this is from last year. it is a parent i have kept in touch with. what happened to our daughter has had a massive impact on her. she is still limping along. her confidence was so damaged, we do not believe she will ever believe in herself in the same way again. this is traumatic for young people, who think they are going along to a—level

and they are then thrown out on the scrapheap. former head teacher peter read. it's now believed more than 1,400 people have died after catastrophic flooding across several south asian countries following heavy monsoons. about 41 million people have been affected, in bangladesh, nepaland india. millions have been left homeless, and more than 950,000 homes have been destroyed. parts of india's financial centre, mumbai, are under several feet of water, and in the eastern state of bihar, more than 500 people have been killed. 0ur south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt, is in bihar. now this should give you an idea ofjust how vulnerable south asia still is to flooding. we had one hour, one hour of heavy rain, about an hour ago, and these floods rose up in what is a regional capital of india. that is how vulnerable even a city still is to flooding,

and let me tell you, this floodwater is absolutely disgusting. the first thing that happens is the drains back up and you get a toxic stew, a toxic stew of waste in the water. sorry, sir. imagine for a moment what it is like, this is a city, imagine for a moment what it is like for a villager in a hut made of mud and straw, that is how tens of millions of people still live in india. for that villager, sitting in a waterlogged field, beside a river. inevitably rains come, the waters rise up again. this flooding is not isolated to bihar, the state in northern india that i am in at the moment. this flooding stretches across the entire region, so from bangladesh in the east, through north india, where i am now, through nepal, across the whole of the basin underneath the himalayas, to the financial capital of india, mumbai, and pakistan, all of it affected by flooding. 41 million people so far affected, 1,400 killed. this tragedy continues to unfold across south asia. the headlines: the metropolitan

police has paid compensation to the former head of the army lord bramall and the family of the late home secretary lord brittain who were falsely accused of sexual abuse. a campaign group says more than 700 homes have been burned down in a rohingya muslim village as tens of thousands of the minority group continue to flee the country. more flooding is feared in south asia. 1400 people have so far been killed and 40 million left homeless 01’ killed and 40 million left homeless or displaced. in sport, qualifying for formula 0ne's italian grand prix is suspended because of heavy rain. the cars haven't run at monza since

g rosjea n the cars haven't run at monza since grosjean crashed 13 minutes into the session. he wasn't hurt. in the second t20 blast, nottingham are 109-4 off 14 second t20 blast, nottingham are 109—4 off 14 overs against hampshire who're yet to bat. the winners play the birmingham bears this evening. 0nly the birmingham bears this evening. only a the birmingham bears this evening. 0nlya win the birmingham bears this evening. only a win will do. that is the warning from the wales manager chris coleman as they prepare to take on austria in a crucial world cup qualifier this evening. more sport later. utility companies could be charged by—the—hour for digging up busy roads in england. the government believes it could force contractors to speed—up repairs reducing delays. the local government association has welcomed the proposals. simonjones reports. misery for motorists in leeds today, costing time and money. now the government is considering making companies pay to do work in peak time. i think that's a good idea, and it may cut the roadworks down and stagger them a bit more.

you often come past and they'll nobody here but a lot of the time, and you think, why did you dig it up if you are now working over there, you know, how can you do it? so, yeah, that could make a big, big difference. 2.5 million roadworks are carried out each year. it is estimated to cost the economy £4 billion, as people are late to work or deliveries don't arrive on time. companies could be charged up to £2500 per site, to work on roads during the day. the government says trials have already seen severe congestion fall by a half. we've been trialling it in london and kent and it's proved extremely successful, and we estimate that there's been about 600 less incursions into the highway surface than would have happened otherwise. motoring groups want some reassurances. the idea that lane rental will actually be introduced to encourage the utility companies to conduct their road works more efficiently is great news. we just want to ensure that the quality of the work they take and do to our roads is sufficient and it's not

going to end up with the local authorities coming back and repairing the job they've done. the group that represents utility companies points out that they are carrying out big infrastructure projects designed to boost the economy, and if they have to pay to close roads, it offers less value for money for their customers. they also say that around half of all roadworks aren't carried out by utility companies, but by highways authorities, designed to improve the layout and surface of the roads. firms are being told they could avoid the charges by carrying out work at night, or coordinating plans with other companies. the scheme could be introduced in 2019. 3 more us diplomatic staff in cuba have reported health problems, following what american officials suspect was a covert sonic attack. nineteen people have now reported symptoms, including damaged hearing. the us believes a sonic device was placed in or near diplomats' homes.

some of the victims suffered mild brain injuries and permanent hearing loss, according to the union representing us diplomatic staff. cuba has denied any involvement. william marquez, a reporter with bbc mundo has this started really late last year when some diplomatic us personnel and at least one canadian started saying that they had some sort of symptoms. then it all came out in may when the us threw out two cuban diplomats in washington in retaliation for what they said cuba failed to protect them in havana. there were 16 people who had been affected with hearing impairments, brain injury, headaches, loss of

balance and the state department yesterday came out saying that it was 19 people and that the latest attack occurred as recently as this august. but they don't rule out more attacks, that is what they said. the first of more than 50,000 people have completed their walk across the new queensferry crossing. the new road bridge over the forth is closed to give members of the public a chance to walk across the bridge. catriona renton is there. you join me here on the new queensferry crossing. this is quite an experience. 50,000 people over today and tomorrow are walking across it. this is something they'll never get the chance to do ever again because once this road is fully open to traffic, pedestrians aren't going to be allowed on it. the people picked in this ballot really do have an opportunity to do something that they're going to be able to tell their families about for the rest of their lives. this bridge is still expected to be operation in well over 100 years'

time. i'm joined by operation in well over 100 years' time. i'mjoined bya operation in well over 100 years' time. i'm joined by a whole pile of people here. caroline, tell me what it's been like for you? spectacular. absolutely spectacular. thanks so much for the opportunity, it was breathtaking, worth every blister on my feet! it's 1.7 breathtaking, worth every blister on my feet! it's1.7 miles, has anyone found that a struggle or has it been enjoyable? really enjoyable. it's more the experience that's getting you along the bridge. what is your name and where have you come from? elizabeth from glasgow. the majority of people that put in for the ballot we re of people that put in for the ballot were from scotland and some people picked were from post codes round and about. why did you put into the for the ballot? it's a once in a lifetime experience and we can look back on it and say, we walked that bridge. has it been fun? has anyone found it exhausting? no. you met anyone interesting across? nicola

sturgeon.en we hijacked her for selfies. anyone good on heights? i'm not. this bridge is 50 metres higher than the old forth bridge. what do you think about being this high up? surprised we made it over. i'm the same. driving across a bridge, you whizz across. what has it meant to you to not whizz across, to get to touch it? it's been absolutely amazing. it's been so cool because we'll never get to do it again. tell me your name? emily. we are all from all over. it's been an incredible experience this. we can't stress this enough, it's not going to be open for people to walk across, this bridge, again, it's going to be a 70—mph motorway, so this is something these people are going to be able to talk about for

generations. he's regarded by many as one of the funniest people ever and a missing episode of tony hancock's half hour will be shown at a fan event in his home city of birmingham. it's called the italian maid and here's an excerpt. are you mr hancock? yes, by all means. 0h, are you mr hancock? yes, by all means. oh, yes, i are you mr hancock? yes, by all means. oh, yes, lam, yes. i'm here. yes you are indeed. 0h, you're here all right, you can say that again, yes. you don't understand. i thought you were expecting me. expecting you? you are not the woman who was coming for... i was expecting a different woman. i'm your new home help. the last one was never like this! joining me now is martin gibbons,

archivist with the tony hancock appreciation society. martin, would you describe that as classic hancock? yes, it is classic. a recording from the 1950s, and it's so clear, it was an amazing find. how did you come across it? back in 2016, the tony hancock appreciation society spotted some reel tapes on ebay. they looked very interesting. the sleeves of the tapes had the italian maid on one and the...ry serial which is another last hancock's half hour and we contacted the seller and discovered the lost episodes. they'd been recorded by geoff elliott, who was a locksmith in birmingham and recorded back in the 1950s on first broadcast. in birmingham and recorded back in the 1950s on first broadcastlj

believe the 1950s on first broadcast.” believe it's already started showing. did it start this morning, is that right? yes, geoff got an eventin is that right? yes, geoff got an event in birmingham which includes a number of missing, presumed wiped, episodes of not only hancock but a broad range of television. what has the reaction been like to that? it's been fantastic. it is absolutely classic comedy. all of the audience we re classic comedy. all of the audience were absolutely laughing right through the broadcast. does it match anything like his famous blood donor? i think this is particularly an interesting episode because hancock didn't normally have guest stars appearing on the show. usually, there was a small group of players who supported hancock but for this particular episode, the italian actress joined the show for just the one episode. so i think for that reason alone, it's a

particularly special episode for us to hear and to have recovered. he was described very much as the comedian's comedian, something of a tortured soul, wasn't he? how much ofan tortured soul, wasn't he? how much of an appetite is there still out there for his brand of comedy?” think there is a huge appetite for it. there's significant interest in the radio shows and in the television shows. there are regular cd releases through bbc audio and there is one due out later this year of some rare material that is outside of hancock's half hour mainly, but yes, there is still a huge interest. i think the comedy remains as fresh today as it was when first broadcast in the 50s. for fa ns when first broadcast in the 50s. for fans who weren't able to come to the showing in birmingham, will they still be able to see it once it closes at 6 this evening? yes. the episode itself will appear on a

future bbc audio release, i'm not sure of the exact date of that release but they'll be able to, yes. it's in factjust release but they'll be able to, yes. it's in fact just the sound release but they'll be able to, yes. it's in factjust the sound track, it's not the actual video of the episode but the episode will be able to be heard on that cd release in due course. is there more to come forfans? due course. is there more to come for fans? what is the likelihood that you will keep on coming across lost footage like this? these are the first two we've found in the last 12 years but we remain optimistic that there is in somebody‘s loft or garage somewhere, a reel tape that contains more lost episodes. there are these two, these two back in 2005 and other off—air recordings of other materialout side of —— outside of hancock's half

hour, still of interest to the fans. thank you very much and congratulations on the huge find. time to find out how the weather is looking with darren. it's been a fine day today. 0ut looking with darren. it's been a fine day today. out to the west there are some changes. thicker cloud and some rain will arrive in northern ireland this evening. we'll see some rain into western parts of wales, the south—west nudging into western fringes of scotland. a lot of high cloud spilling on ahead of that rain. tonight shouldn't be as cold as it was last night. hazy sunshine for a while in eastern scotland, down the eastern side of england. the rain is only moving slowly eastwards and, at the same time, the rain becomes lighter and drizzly. time, the rain becomes lighter and d rizzly. left time, the rain becomes lighter and drizzly. left with a lot of low cloud for many western areas. here, quite oo cool day —— quite a cool day. the rain continues to peter out into monday. a belt of heavier rain for
