round—up of the news at 10pm. first, mexico's murder rate reached a record high last year with close to 30,000 dying in drug—related violence. the coastal city of acapulco pivotally dangerous in the grip of vicious turf wars between gangs seeking to control the drugs trade. in this special and shopping edition of our world, clive myrie follows a paramedic and a body collector in acapulco and meet a senior member of a powerful drug syndicate. we should warn you that this programme contains violence and bloody scenes right from the start. this is guerreiro, south—west mexico. mariela is a paramedic in a metropolis scorched by violence. and luis is a body collector in the most violent

city in a violent land. we talked to some of those behind the violence, fuelled by drugs and organised crime. translation: they murder each other, they killed innocent people. they decapitate innocent people. they hang innocent people. this is a story of ordinary people living and dying on mexico's front line. the story of a country at war with itself. it's around midnight

at a convenience store in acapulco. so far, so ordinary. a child is playing on the floor. suddenly, a man enters pursued by another, who wants to kill him. he's wrestled outside. then shot. imagine the terror of the shop workers, as the assassin tries to finish him off. but his pistol jams. reloaded, the gunman returns and shoots him again. he dies 30 minutes later. first on the scene is paramedic mariela chimeo, unable to save another victim of mexico's gang wars. mariela's worked acapulco's streets

for almost a decade. herjob is to help save lives, but too often these days, she's just counting bodies. she's on her way to another gangland hit. and at the wheel of the ambulance is her colleague and husband, jorge. we follow behind. shot and dumped, the indignity of it all. and on hand, the military and police, but seemingly powerless to stop the carnage. this, another murder that shames mexico. last year, more mexicans

were murdered in gang violence than in any year on record. close to 30,000. so far, 2018 is shaping up to be bloodier. luis flores works in acapulco's morgue. and what a job it is. a father of two and a trainee nurse, he comes to this hell every day. you have to carefully pick your way through the litter of decaying corpses. we can see there are bodies all over here. the capacity is, what, 100 bodies? sadly, because of the violence we have experienced here, it's 320 or something here. so there are bodies on the floor. not refrigerated, of course.

the capacity in the fridge, it's just overloaded. that's how difficult the situation is here for the authorities in acapulco. just noticed the tag here on one of the body bags. "nombre desconocido", which means it's unidentified. and at the bottom it says 13th of july, 2017. so that's when the body was found. more than six months ago. no identification. nobody knows who it is, and nobody has come to claim it. most are young men, shot or stabbed. some beheaded and mutilated. the victims of turf wars between rival gangs, keen to display their depravity as a warning to others. how difficult is it dealing with the numbers of homicides here? and it's a job someone has to do,

cleaning acapulco's streets, for which he gets paid little more than 500 us dollars a month. the gangs aren't afraid of anyone. this man's body has been dumped in broad daylight. sometimes, the killers arejust teenagers, offered $50

to pull the trigger. but this man shows signs of being tortured. back at the morgue, luis helps the doctors trying to determine the cause of death. but is anyone in mexico seriously trying to determine how the country can escape this cycle of violence? foreigners used to flock to acapulco for tequila and sunshine. now it's mostly mexican tourists that fill the hotels. army boots on the ground haven't reassured many americans, advised this city is as dangerous as syria or afghanistan. but mexico is a land of competing realities. and mariela and jorge, forjust

under 500 us dollars a month, inhabit the world not far from the beach where lives are snuffed out on a whim. the pictures will help in the investigation, but will the killer ever be found? it's unlikely. this isjust one more unsolved gang murder. another tagged corpse for the morgue. back at base, a bit of downtime. a little lunch. but often, being left alone with their thoughts is the worst time. the murders are getting more savage, more depraved.

a taxi has been left abandoned in the middle of a busy highway. the driver has fled, but left behind in the car is a package. it's what, four o'clock, rush hour here in acapulco. pulled up here, and the authorities are investigating this taxi, they opened the boot and there in a cooler box was a head, a severed head. in fact, the lead investigator has just told me that it's in fact the skin of the scalp of the head, and not the skull inside. incredible. it's the third severed head we've come across in three days. with every execution, each gang is sending a clear message — don't mess with us. it's been more than a decade since the government declared war on the drug cartels.

high profile leaders have been killed or imprisoned, but their replacements now lead smaller splinter groups, ruthlessly fighting for control of the drugs market, as well as extortion and protection rackets. and it's when night falls that there's money to be made. i've got some coke, some ecstasies, some lsd. this former dealer didn't want to be identified for good reason. a conspiracy of silence helps protect the gangs. break it and you could end up dead. so those drugs you showed me, they were for your personal use. but you used to be a dealer, didn't you? what was that like? it's a dangerous business. really, all your friends are dead? they were killing them because they

were independent dealers? so we've seen all these dead bodies, and we're wondering, what is it that these people have done to deserve to die like that? why do the cartels kill people? another severed head is recovered from a crime scene. yet, just yards away,

there are crowds of people. if they saw anything, they are not letting on. there are families here, there are kids. yet that headless body was dumped just over there, right next to them. but no one wants to talk to talk to us there. they are obviously too scared. it's 8pm, and luis has another grim collection to make. a man's been shot in the head. a mother's only son. it's believed the dead man may have

refused to pay a criminal gang extortion money. his name was elvis mendoza. he was 25. now he's in luis‘s care. many of the thugs and killers responsible for much of the violence on these streets, they learned their ways in the drugs trade. an industry that's worth many billions, but makes life cheap. well, we went to talk to some of those in the drug cartels who are ultimately responsible for all this. just over 1000 miles away, up the pacific coast, we take a midnight drive to a safe house in the state of sinaloa. we were never told the exact location for our rendezvous.

the cartel here is one of the most powerful in the world. and the man who's agreed to speak with us is a top lieutenant. he says it's the fracturing of the big cartels that has led to so much more violence. translation: for years things had been fine because we are unified. there's only one cartel, the sinaloa cartel, and it's big. if you go to jalisco or guerreiro, the fight is between criminal groups, not cartels. it's because they are small groups. they murder each other, they kill innocent people, they decapitate innocent people, they hang innocent people. when we point out drugs ruin lives, he defends the business he's in, saying that no one forces people to become addicts. and he claims that many politicians work with the cartels. the government says corruption is rare and is determined to stamp it out. we kept the government cooperation.

they cooperate with the cartel. i can guarantee you everything is fine here. drugs generates lots of money, and money makes people greedy. sinaloa is not going to have a situation like that, because we are already unified. we have arrangements, and everything is ok. but other places in the south will not change because they are not cartels. they are criminal groups. back in acapulco, just five minutes from our hotel, we came across a sight that for many now defines this country. more blood flowing through mexico's streets. and this, the first of three murder scenes we visited in eight hours. and there were others. mariela and jorge reflect on a bloody week. the memory of that very public

killing will linger. especially for the tourists who saw what happened. and have the pictures to prove it. the sun sets on another grisly day, with the gangs clocking up their 33rd victim in the 12 days we've been in acapulco. and that's what everybody wants. but ordinary people here are exhausted and overwhelmed. stuck in the middle of a war on drugs that mexico seems to be losing.

hello again. the weekend weather was not entirely plain sailing, there was some rain around at times but, equally, most of us end of the weekend on a fine, dry note. and that's the sort of weather we take with us through the next few days as well. mostly dry, spells of warm sunshine and expect temperatures to climb for the next couple of days. but for the middle of the week it does look like things will turn significantly cooler once again. but it is high pressure that will dominate the scene throughout the week ahead. one area of high pressure on monday down to the south—west, another up to the north—east. but trapped between these areas we do have a couple

of weak frontal systems, one trying to feed cloud into eastern parts of england, perhaps eastern scotland as well, and another zone of cloud for northern ireland and the western side of scotland that could give just the odd patchy spell of rain. but in between monday will bring a fair amount of sunshine and those temperatures on the rise. 19 or 20 degrees. high pressure still with us as we go into tuesday but this frontal system does introduce something of a fly in the ointment because it will thicken up the cloud for northern ireland and western scotland and that will bring some patchy rain southwards and eastwards. but ahead of that, a decent amount of sunshine, particularly away from the coasts. as you can see from the orange colours, there is some warmth to be had, temperatures perhaps as high as 22 or 23 degrees. but always that bit cooler up towards the north—west where we are under the influence of that weather front. that front will sink its way south eastwards during tuesday night. high pressure building back in behind it so still a lot of dry weather but what the front will do is open the door to some much, much cooler air from the north—west.

tuesday might bring 23 degrees, wednesday will not bring 23 degrees. some cloud in the south first thing, the remnant of that frontal system. once that clears away, yes, the skies will brighten, there will be some spells of sunshine but afternoon highs way down, 12—16 degrees at best, perhaps a little below average actually for the time of year. for thursday, a chilly breeze close to some of these north sea coasts but generally not a bad day. spells of sunshine, some patchy cloud bubbling up in the sky. but again, those temperatures, no great shakes, 13, 1a, maybe 16 or 17 degrees at best. as we end the week on friday, high pressure still firmly in charge. in fact, at this stage, it is likely to be sitting right on top of the british isles but still, underneath that high, some relatively cool air. so don't expect a heatwave as we go on through friday. but do expect plenty of fine weather and some spells of sunshine. always a bit of patchy cloud coming and going and again, perhaps a keen breeze for some of these north sea coasts of east anglia and the south—east. and those temperatures maybe just

nudging up by a couple of degrees at this stage. so what about further ahead into next weekend, the royal wedding weekend of course? well, there is uncertainty about this because high pressure is going to try to hold on but equally frontal systems are going to try to push in from the north—west. it does look like towards the south—east at least there is a decent chance of staying dry. and then as we go beyond the weekend, the jet stream tries to force more unsettled weather back in our direction. so there is a much greater chance that we will see things turning unsettled as we move beyond next weekend. a lot of uncertainty about this, though, i have to say. it looks mostly dry at first, perhaps for a time a little bit warmer as well, but then the signs are that, as we go into the following week, things will turn a little bit more unsettled. not completely plain sailing but some dry weather to be had. the rohingya crisis, sky. the rohingya crisis, skylj

the rohingya crisis, sky. i did expect it. current affairs. hello. this is bbc news. in a moment we'll be joined by bbc one viewers for a full round up of the day's news with mishal husain, but first more tributes to the former labour cabinet minister, dame tessa jowell — who's died aged 70. we've been speaking to the labour mp sarahjones, who worked for dame tessa jowell in helping to organise the london 2012 olympic and paralymic games. she was the one who came up with the idea of even bidding in the first place, and everybody thought it was crazy at the time, and it was in

2001, and we had just had the millennium dome and wembley stadium and had not done well in the 0lympics and had not done well in the olympics and everybody thought that this was something impossible. she thought it was a good idea and set about persuading every single person of the cabinet to her view so
