and coming up in sportsday on bbc news, gareth bale says wales will face their world cup qualifier with moldova tonight with conviction after beating them 4—0 last year. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. four serving members of the british army have been arrested on suspicion of being members of national action, a banned neo—nazi group. they are being held under terror laws, although police say the public was never in danger. three were arrested in britain and a fourth in cyprus. a fifth person, a

civilian is also being detained. our home affairs correspondent tom symonds is at west midlands police headquarters in birmingham. these arrests are highly significant because they are the first in connection of suspected membership ofan connection of suspected membership of an extreme right—wing organisation. these men are in their early 20s and 30s and they are being questioned at an unidentified west midlands police station. the bbc has been told three of the men are members of the royal anglian regiment which recruits in norfolk, suffolk, essex and cambridge. four arrest in the uk, one in cyprus. an army spokesman said we can confirm... that group is national action, which

described itself last year in the language of hitler's fascism, as a national socialist youth movement. its members marched the streets. the focus was as much on spreading neo—nazi ideas online but experts say the far right is not well supported. i think extreme right groups in britain are very good these days about creating a sense of greater scale on social media than is actually the case. the national action group are people that tend to do that the very best. when the labourmpjo cox do that the very best. when the labour mp jo cox was do that the very best. when the labour mpjo cox was murdered by a loner influenced by similar propaganda, the government acted, prescribing or banning national action. despite the name, national action's court seeks doom by communities and stir up hatred. prescribing this neo—nazi group will prevent its mothership growing,

prevent its mothership growing, prevent them spreading propaganda which allows a culture of hatred and division to thrive. legally, the group should not now exist but police in birmingham are questioning five suspected members under counter terrorism laws while searches properties are carried out. three years ago toddler ayeeshia jayne smith was murdered by her own mother at the family home in burton on trent. today a review into her case has found that care workers let their concern for the mother overshadow the needs of the child. the report found that ayeeshia's death could not have been predicted but criticised social workers for taking what the mother said at face value. kathryn smith is serving a i9—yearjail sentence. sima kotecha reports. ayeeshia—jayne smith, known as a] to her family. a toddler with a thin frame and described as a happy and smiley child. at 21 months old, her life was brutally cut short by her mother. kathryn smith, a former drug addict with a history

of aggression and self—harm, stamped her daughter to death. today, the serious case review said social workers and medical staff should have asked more questions. the report says... it says... derbyshire county council has said sorry. how can you assure people at home that this won't happen again? can you? can you actually provide that assurance? we work with hundreds of children every single day and we work hard to keep them safe and the majority of times, we are successful at doing so, but one death is one death too many. and a death in such tragic circumstances, of course we are all impacted by it and i am

determined to make our services as strong as they can be to minimise the risk of this happening again. a] was at home in the ground—floor flat behind me when she was murdered. medical experts believe her heart was torn by one forceful stamp. pathologists also found 16 other injuries on her body including an historical bleed to the brain and a damaged spine. she was taken to hospital on more than one occasion in the year she died, including four cuts on her lip including for cuts on her lip and chin and after collapsing. again, warning signs were missed. the trust agree with the report's findings. we had two instances where we definitely didn't show enough professional curiosity around ayeeshia—jayne's attendance. the febrile convulsion wasn't as it turned out a febrile convulsion. we didn't go into ayeeshia—jayne's social situation, herfamily situation as much as we should have, we didn't ask enough questions.

concerns raised by aj's biological father, ricky booth, were also ignored. the aim of this review is to learn lessons. but for aj's family, today's report will bring little comfort after the ordeal they have been through. russian president vladimir putin says further sanctions against north korea are useless — and that ramping up military preparations could lead to global catastrophe. it comes after the us said it would table a new un resolution on tougher sanctions in the wake of the latest test of a hydrogen bomb by the north. from seoul, yogita limaye reports. off the eastern coast of south korea, today it was the navy's turn to show its strength. the commander of this fleet said they were training to bury the enemy at sea. south korea has held military drills for two days now in response to the north's nuclear test. pyongyang claims it successfully

made a hydrogen bomb that can be fitted on to missiles capable of reaching america. at a un conference in geneva, north korea's ambassador was defiant. the recent self defence images by my country dprk, are a gift package addressed to the us. the us will receive more gift packages from my country as long as it relies on reckless provocations and futile attempts to put pressure on the dprk. those attempts include further squeezing of north korea's economy. but some don't think that's a good idea. translation: the use of sanctions of any kind in this case is already useless and inefficient. as i told my colleagues yesterday, they will eat grass

but they will not give up this programme if they do not feel safe. south korea doesn't feel safe either and so its setting up this american anti—missile defence system, designed to shoot down enemy rockets. and now, president trump has said he is allowing japan and south korea to buy more sophisticated military equipment from the us. he's also agreed to remove limits on these south korean missiles, lifting restrictions on the weight of the they can carry. of the warheads they can carry. it's this country, south korea, which has the most to lose if things go wrong. some people here even still have family living up in the north. but they have heard these threats for so long now that they've almost become part of normal life here. and yet, things are a bit different now. translation: the experiment north korea did this time was much larger in scale and so it makes me nervous. this woman says she is worried but she doesn't believe war

is going to break out. barely 50 kilometres from the border with north korea, people here live each day with the knowledge that they are vulnerable. but with a strong belief that the peace that has held for more than 60 years is not about to be broken. today was the first chance after the summer recess for mps to look at the brexit negotiations. the brexit secretary, david davis, has said there are, what he called, "significa nt differences" with european commission over the so—called divorce bill britain will have to pay when it leaves the european union. here's our deputy political editor, jon pienaar. what did you do this summer? david davis tried to get exit talks into high but it's been tough and collea g u es high but it's been tough and colleagues like foreign secretary borisjohnson are colleagues like foreign secretary boris johnson are demanding colleagues like foreign secretary borisjohnson are demanding hardball with brussels. petty officials, so much to do, so little time. jeremy

corbyn's team look up for it, naib's eu policy is not all clear, his deputy talks about may be staying inside the eu system. his brexit spokesman doesn't go that far but labour have pledged to challenge ministers in parliament's role, judging brexit, the devolved assemblies' role as well as workers' rights. secretary of state for exiting the european union. time to a nswer exiting the european union. time to answer questions and face the sceptics. negotiations have been tough at times but we have made progress on the important issues. britain was nowhere near agreeing the brexit divorce bill or as he put it... there are significant differences to be bridged in this sector. so not easy but not our fault. the uk's approach is more pragmatic and flexible than that of the eu as it avoids unnecessary interruption to british business and

consumers. labour of course wasn't buying it. no deal, which i had hoped had died a death since the election could raise from the ashes. his message: get real. too many promises have been made about brexit which can't be kept. today, labour has decided to vote against the bill, turning all eu legislation into british law. ready to be kept in all weeded out later. if and when they lose that road, it willjust be they lose that road, it willjust be the start of something like parliamentary siege warfare while labour look to win over the handful of tory rebels they need to pull ministers up short. impatient with brexit? it's just the start. the two big parties on tune with respecting referendum and now nothing else. how are you feeling about brexit? there is progress on brexit? they will argue and say, it's impossible and in the end, they will agree they have got to agree and it will be done. this demo wanted brexit

stopped and many don't. while negotiators plate a game of who blinks first, a vision of economic uncertainty and political storms ahead now seems plain to see. scotland's first minister has set out her party's programme for government for the coming year. nicola sturgeon placed education and health reform at the top of the agenda, and says she'll lift the 1% cap on public sector pay rises. ms sturgeon called the plans "fresh, bold and ambitious" — but was accused by conservative leader ruth davidson of "over—promising and under—delivering". our scotland editor sarah smith is at holyrood for us this evening. politics here have been so dominated this year so far by arguments over a second scottish referendum, nicola sturgeon is now trying to turn the page. she knows she needs to show she's energetically attacking politics in scotland, schools and

hospitals, not just politics in scotland, schools and hospitals, notjust worrying about independent says she has come up with a long list of measures for this parliamentary year. nicola sturgeon has got her hands full and she wants all of us to know it. she promised to refresh her policies after a disappointing general election result and now she wa nts to general election result and now she wants to seize back the political initiative with what she calls a bold and ambitious programme for government. at it heart is this ambition to make our country the best place in the world to grow up and be educated. to live, work, visit and do business and the best place to be cared for in times of sickness, need or vulnerability and the best place to grow old. the first minister announced significant government investment in high—tech manufacturing and financial technology and she was getting her own lesson today in digital skills. but its education that will be the biggest test for the snp. faced with falling standards in scottish schools, they plan to give

headteachers more powers and responsibilities. teachers along with nurses and police officers will be among thousands of workers getting a higher pay rise next year as scotland is scrapping i% getting a higher pay rise next year as scotland is scrapping 1% public sector pay cap. no details on how that might be paid for yet but a strong hint, higher income taxes may follow. the opposition say the snp had to earn back the trust of the scottish electorate. they must be frank about the huge challenges scotla nd frank about the huge challenges scotland faces. not seek as its first response to bury bad news or pretend it doesn't exist. given what we know of this government, we will wait to see whether these words are backed up by action. the government should know this, after this last year, it is on probation with the people of scotland and it is time to change tack and time to deliver. the scottish parliament will be busy and the 16 new bills announced today, including the creation of a national investment bank. and, free personal

ca re investment bank. and, free personal care for under 65 is suffering from dementia and eight deposit return scheme for plastic bottles and pardons for men convicted of same sex offences which are now legal. the scottish government also wants to go further, faster with electric ca rs. to go further, faster with electric cars. promising a huge expansion of cars. promising a huge expansion of car charging facilities and plans to phase out new petrol vehicles by 2032, eight years ahead of the uk target. but remember, as a minority government, the snp need the support of other parties if they are to drive headpiece plans the next year. the time is 18:17. our top story this evening: four serving members of the british army have been arrested on suspicion of links to a neo—nazi group. and still to come... hurricane irma, now classified as extremely dangerous, heads for the caribbean. 0ur weather presenter tells us how bad it could be. coming up in sportsday on bbc news: chris froome wins the individual time trial at the vuelta a espana

and nearly doubles his lead. he's aiming to wrap up a tour de france—vuelta double. the un is warning of a risk of ethnic cleansing in myanmar after a dramatic increase in the nub of rohingya muslims cleaned into bangladesh. they are a minority group in the buddhist state. fighting in the state of rakhine has left at least 400 people dead. the un says 35,000 people have crossed the border into bangladesh in the last day alone. that brings the total seeking refuge to more than 123,000 in the last eleven days. 0ur correspondent, sanjoy majumder, has sent this report from cox's bazar. desperation is what is driving the

rohingya refugees. and bangladesh, which has taken them in, is being overwhelmed by the numbers that are surging in. a truck has backed up to ta ke surging in. a truck has backed up to take all these refugees to the nearest relief camp. you can just see the chaos as they are all desperate to get on board. it is a chance for them to get somewhere where they will be safe and where they can rest. they are getting a sense now that things are slowly spinning out of control. soldiers try to bring in a sense of order. but the refugees are weak, dehydrated and disorientated after days on the road. the rohingyas group are described as the worst persecuted minority, the buddhist majority myanmar has denied them citizenship despite living there for centuries. now they have been driven

out. their villages burned, hundreds killed, in a wave of religious violence. people are either being shot or burnt alive in their homes. we had to flee for our lives. they are making sure that no muslims are left there. so they fled, carrying with them whatever they could salvage from their wrecked homes. local volunteers meet them as they arrive. handing out packets of cooked rice and meat. theirfirst proper meal in days. but with so many refugees coming game, space is running out. existing camps are stretched beyond capacity. new ones are being built by the hour, open fields and hilltops have now become huge settlements. and the conditions are basic. this pit filled with rainwater serving as the water supply. these new arrivals are scattered in different locations,

different villages, makeshift site and the two existing refugees plight is whether un works. those camps are reaching such a point and in one of them, the population has more than doubled. -- saturation point. bangladesh is one of the world's most densely populated nations and now it has to somehow find space for all the rohingyas who are pouring princes william and harry have visited a new centre that is offering advice and counselling to families affected by the grenfell disaster. they met members of the community and volunteers in north kensington at the support 4 grenfell community hub. at least 80 people are thought to have died in the fire at grenfell tower back injune. meanwhile, a french magazine has been ordered to pay £90,000 in damages to the duke and duchess of cambridge after it published topless photos of kate while on holiday in provence five years ago. the couple filed a criminal complaint against ‘closer‘ magazine for invasion of privacy. lucy williamson reports from paris.

on one side of the channel today, there was barely a front page without her — the duchess of cambridge, expecting her third child. her private life a cause for media interest, national comment, public celebration. but when does interest become intrusion? in the paris suburbs today, judges ruled that french celebrity magazine closer did invade her privacy by publishing topless photos of the duchess on holiday. the pictures were taken from et hello photo lens as they were sunbathing in a private villa. the magazine editor and chief executive were each fined 115,000 euros — the maximum penalty, said the royals' lawyer. c'est le montant maximum prevu par la loi. is that unusual? yes, absolutely. the royal couple were also awarded 100,000 euros in damages. a high figure for france, but far smaller than the 1.5 million euros requested by the couple. the lawyer for closer described

the amount requested as ‘extravagant‘ and said the private lives of the royal family were a matter of public interest. translation: the photos showed a couple in love. and i'll remind you that in the case of the duke's parents, we were led to believe that they adored each other by being given official photographs and it wasn't the reality. here, at least, the photos aren't offensive and show that they love each other. it's in the public interest to know that. the duke of cambridge said the clandestine way the photographs were taken had been particularly shocking and all the more painful given the way his mother diana had died here in paris, pursued by paparazzi. in a statement after today's ruling, kensington palace described the photographs as "a serious breach of privacy" and said the couple "wished to make the point strongly that this kind of unjustified intrusion should not happen". last week, william went to view

tributes laid to princess diana on the twentieth anniversary of her death. having watched the media make both hero and hostage of his mother, the duke of cambridge seems determined to stop the same thing happening to his wife. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. for most people, running a marathon is an achievement. for one grandmother from kent, it's just a training session. mimi anderson began running in her late thirties — to overcome anorexia — and has since gone on to become one of the top endurance runners in the world, breaking records wherever she goes. now she's preparing for her biggest challenge yet, to become the fastest woman to run across america. sophie raworth went to meet her. for the next seven and a half weeks, mimi anderson will be running at least 55 miles every single day as she makes her way from la to new york. it's taken years of planning and a lot of training.

oh, it's been really, really hard work, but i've sort of built up my distances so that i will do a week where i'm running 18, 19 miles every single day. and then the following week, i'm running a marathon every single day. and then i'm doing 30 miles every single day. my run will start from los angeles and it will go all the way through colorado. she'll pass through 12 states in all, as she tries to break the women's coast—to—coast record, set in 1979. 2,850 miles in total. that's a long way. 0h, here are all your medals, what a haul! i know. i have to say i'm quite proud of them, actually, quite proud. wow! but mimi is used to tough challenges. she took up running in her mid—30s and, since then, has conquered some of the hardest endurance races in the world. this one here, the marathon des sables — which is 250 kilometres over six days, in the sahara desert — was my very first race in 2001. nearly died doing it,

but i loved it! that was fantastic. and then this race here, the iconic badwater ultramarathon. well done, mimi! 100 miles here! which is 135 miles in death valley, in america, so i think death valley sort of sums it up really! and they are races that have pushed her body to the limit. the arctic race is called the 6633 extreme ultra marathon. it's 350 miles, nonstop, over eight days, in temperatures as low as minus—a0. and i actually won that race overall, male and female. and i came in i think it was 2a hours ahead of the only other person who finished. but running across america is her toughest challenge yet. what drives you to do this? i love the challenge. i love... i love, erm, the thought of me physically and mentally — because that plays a big part — of actually being able to run the distances that i do. to power her to a new world record,

she's relying on a lot of coffee, ten pairs of running shoes and a support crew including her husband, friends and a physio. she's already dreaming of the finish line. when i get to the steps of the new york city hall, ah! i'll crawl up those steps. those steps, i'm just going to love them. and i'll get down on my knees and i'll kiss them if necessary! mimi anderson, who starts her journey across america on thursday. now, we've barely seen the back of hurricane harvey, but there's another one brewing, and it could be even bigger. these are satellite images of hurricane irma, taken by a nasa satellite. it's been upgraded to category 5, meaning it's extremely dangerous. it's heading for the caribbean, and then onto the southern united states, and could bring wind speeds of around 175 miles—per—hour. chris fawkes is here for more. chris, it looks pretty frightening.

it is incredible, it is the strongest atlantic facing hurricane on record, winds of 180 mph and stronger gusts that could reach 220 mph. sojust stronger gusts that could reach 220 mph. so just catastrophic damage they could do but they are half the story. there is also going to be huge rainfall and into the centre of the pressure in the middle of the storm, the sea surface bulges up and we get a storm surge as the sea works into the land and that itself could be 11 foot. iam works into the land and that itself could be 11 foot. i am six foot three, imagine two of me, a wall of water blown in by the hurricane. it works in a cross and he get in the next 11 hours. across the british virgin islands as well. and we will see further damage from the storm. across the uk, a relatively quiet day with a band of rain pushing east. patchy in nature is brighter

skies try to working from the west. the cloud has broken up in dorset with sunshine coming through here. still feeling humid across central and eastern england and the humid airgets and eastern england and the humid air gets blown out of the way by a westerly breeze as the cloud and rain clears eastern counties. clearing skies and a dry night for many but there will be showers across the north and west of scotla nd across the north and west of scotland running into north west england. temperatures overnight 11 or 12 degrees delhi wireplay —— fairly widely and it feels fresh, but not humid. wednesday is going to bea but not humid. wednesday is going to be a decent day come up mostly dry with sunshine to start the day and fairweather cloud and some showers mainly affecting north west scotland where it is quite windy and some sneaking into the irish sea coast of north west england. foremost, it stays dry and in the sunshine, 16-20dc. it stays dry and in the sunshine, 16—20dc. it does not stay settled for long because towards the end of the week and the weekend, low pressure takes up residence and the

weather turns increasingly unsettled with rain showers on most days. thursday, friday and saturday, blustery winds making it feel cold as well. that's all from the bbc news at six, so it's goodbye from me. and on bbc one, we nowjoin the bbc‘s news teams where you are. nicola sturgeon has got her hands full and she wants all of us to know it. she promised a refresher policies after a disappointing general election result. you are watching bbc news, the top stories now... four serving members of the british army have been arrested on
