felt after a powerful earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok. at least 1a people have been killed on the island, but officials say hundreds have been injured and the number of casualties is expected to rise. lombok is located about aokm east of bali and is popular with tourists. the main quake hit early in the morning when many people were still sleeping and was followed by multiple aftershocks. pablo uchoa reports. a scenic morning trek ending in panic. on mount rinjani at a popular site with tourists captured the moment the earthquake struck. the footage shows the group of climbers trying to get down the mountain as quickly as possible as clouds of dust rise from nearby landslides. this is what residents woke up to. the quake of magnitude 6.4 was quickly followed by more

than 100 smaller earthquakes. thousands of homes were damaged. it is thought that dozens of people were injured by falling debris. translation: it happened all of a sudden, around 6am. and then everything collapsed. my house has collapsed. my kid was inside. but thank god he is safe. the epicentre of the earthquake struck 50 kilometres north—east of the city of mataram in the north of the island. indonesia is prone to earthquakes. it lies on what is called the ring of fire, the line of quakes and volcanic eruptions that circle virtually the entire pacific rim. the region is on constant alert for tremors that might trigger tsunamis. this time no alert was issued. the country's disaster agency says the main focus now is evacuation and rescue.

authorities fear the number of people killed could rise. british touristjulie silvester filmed the aftermath of the 6.4 magnitude quake in kekalok, a small village on the island of lombok. 0h, oh, my god, look at the crack on the floor here. that is a big crack in the floor. iam i am surprised it hasn't operated that tree. big cracks in the floor all over this place. the wall of this housebroken. that was the eyewitness account of a

british tourist. zimbabwe's former president robert mugabe has addressed the media, on the eve of the country's first elections since he was ousted from office. he said the people of zimbabwe hadn't been free since he was removed. mr mugabe also said he won't be voting for the man who succeeded him, emmerson mnangagwa. i cannot put for him. —— vote for him. ican‘t. i i cannot put for him. —— vote for him. i can't. iwill i cannot put for him. —— vote for him. i can't. i will make my choice. the bbc‘s nomsa maseko who is in harare for us told me more about mr mugabe's statement.

the former president robert mugabe was trying to tell zimbabweans that the way in which he was ousted remains to him and democratic and constitutional. and he also said that the fact that the military were rolled in to remove him, it says that zimbabweans are threatened and that they are scared. and he also called on zimbabweans to actually go out in their numbers to vote tomorrow, and also said that he will not be voting for zanu pf, which is a party that he himself founded, and endorsed the movement for democratic change under the leadership of nelson chamisa. let's take a look at some of the other stories making the news... a prominent lawyer who helped to defend the former nationalist serb president slobodan milosevic has been shot dead. dragoslav 0gnjanovic was killed in front of his apartment building in the serbian capital, belgrade. he served on the legal team that helped to defend mr milosevic

at his un war crimes trial at the hague. as votes continue to be counted in the cambodian general election a spokesman for the ruling party, the cpp, has declared victory, claiming 80% of the votes. the prime minister hoon sen is expected to hold onto power after nearly 33 years in office. human rights groups said the vote was neither free nor fair. the polish jazz trumpeter and composer, tomash stanko, has died at the age of 76. stanko was inspired early on by american trumpeters, miles davis and chet baker, but went on to experiment in free—form jazz. the publisher of the new york times has warned donald trump in a white house meeting that the president's attacks on the media are "dangerous and harmful to the country." president trump met with arthur g sulzberger earlier this month. in the last hour the president has hit back with a series of angry

tweets, branding the new york times as "failing" and the media as "unpatriotic". that's despite earlier describing the meeting as "good and interesting". we can now talk to the bbc‘s chris buckler who is live for us in washington. clearly differing accounts of this meeting but nonetheless a very strong message from the new york times. to say the least. whenever you take a look at donald trump's tweets he said this meeting was to discuss the vast amounts of fake news being put out by the media and how that fake news has morphed into the fray enemy of the people. of course enemy of the people is how president trump has at times described the press in recent months and it is very clear from the state and it is very clear from the state and coming from the new york times that they believe that that is the kind of language that is putting people in danger. they have talked about the threat of violence. they

have talked about how lives could be put at risk and how that damaging and divisive language according to mr sulzberger could in reality be used by people elsewhere and is being used by some regimes to enforce media crackdowns. they said that they went there specifically to the white house to have a conversation with president trump to appeal to him not to stop criticising the new york times specifically but to stop attacking the media in general, because they say it is damaging and divisive and it also threatens america's democracy in terms of threatening both the free press and free speech. it isa both the free press and free speech. it is a pretty hard—hitting statement and it comes with the knowledge that the new york times went there for a private meeting about week ago and they said president trump's own advisers had asked them to keep it private. however now he has pleaded they had decided to release their own statement. i suppose it has to be said mrtrump and

statement. i suppose it has to be said mr trump and his communications team, their whole relationship with the media is incredibly confrontational as we have seen in the last few weeks alone, let alone yea rs. the last few weeks alone, let alone years. it is very confrontational language continuing to be used. president trump has been tweeting since the statement from the new york times and in it he particularly singles out that labour and the washington post for criticism. —— that paper. he says 90% of what is published in the papers is negative this i does what being achieved by his administration and he says the freedom of the press comes with the responsibility to report the press accurately. i have to say when you read all this it does come down to the idea that you have this real divide between president trump and much of the media. but even that which he refers to the failing new york times, you get the feeling the name—calling is not going to stop any time soon. i doubt it. thank you

very much, chris buckler in washington for us. firefighters in the united states say 90 large wildfires have now burned a million acres in 1a states. the deadliest blaze is in northern california where five people have died and president trump has declared a state of emergency. thousands of people have had to abandon their homes in the town of redding, from where james cook has sent this report. the devastation wrought by the wildfire which roared through redding is becoming clear. survivors described an apocalyptic scene as they fled, with swirling tornadoes aflame. some feared they would not make it. homes were exploding, cars were exploding, i have a wife and kids, and i said i had better facetime my wife, just in case. i didn't let her know why, i just wanted to see her face one more time. the inferno left hundreds of homes in ruins, and a boy, his sister and their great—grandmother are dead. two firefighters were killed too, one had been cutting vegetation with a bulldozer,

81 years old. and everyone here will tell you they've never seen anything like this. every single person that i've talked to so far has maybe mention that, i don't know why it's doing what it's doing, it's burning differently, it's burning more aggressive than it has in years past, and i know we say that every year, but it is unprecedented. the firefighters of the american west are now stretched to the limit. more than 10,000 have been deployed in california alone. 130 majorfires blazing across the from new mexico to alaska. canada has more than a0 major wildfires. this has become normal for california, fires are now burning year—round, rather than just in the summer. and scientists say the reasons for that our human activity, natural weather patterns, and a warming climate. james cook, bbc news, in northern california. stay with us on bbc world news.

still to come... protests across russia, as thousands grab their first chance to demonstrate against a possible rise in the pension age. the us space agency nasa has ordered an investigation 110w now no more after almost four

decades. not doing any harm to anyone, all these people wandering in and saying you're doing something wrong. they have been met with the roar of approvalfrom wrong. they have been met with the roar of approval from visitors. they are really sweet. welcome back. you're watching bbc world news today. these are the latest headlines. caught on the mountain.... the moment trekkers run to escape landslides as a powerful earthquake hits the indonesian island of lombok. at least 1a people are dead, and there have been more than 100 aftershocks. zimbabwe's ex—president breaks his silence on the eve of the country's election. robert mugabe says he won't be voting for the man who forced him out of office.

the new york times has sent donald trump a stern warning — calling the us president's attacks on the news media "dangerous and harmful. " thousands of people have been protesting across russia this weekend against a proposed rise in the pension age. it would see the age for men rise from 60 to 65 and for women from 55 to 63. the change was announced at the start of the world cup, but host cities forbade public demonstrations during the event. this weekend was the first time many places, including the capital moscow, ?allowed protests. sarah rainsford reports. the crowd at this demonstration has not been huge but it is extremely passionate. pension reform is an issue many russians feel very strongly about. it has been delayed by governments here for many years but finally it's been announced and it sparked protests across russia. at this one people have been shouting things including shame,

calling this theft. they're saying it's a stab in the back, the end of a social contract between the government and people. it's a very diverse crowd but all united by one idea, that they think this pension reform is wrong. i think that it's not normal to work until you die, so for our country it's something unusual when our president and other people who make decisions for the country make it without people's opinion. i think it's terrible, this way, how our government are treating people. the government insists this reform is essential, that it's unable to carry on paying so many pensions, but 80% of russians, according to one poll, disagree.

president putin has tried to distance himself from the pension reform, to present it as a government bill but lots of people in the crowds today don't agree with that. this pension retirement age we have now existed since the 1930s, and remained unchanged through a very turbulent and difficult time, it was always this way, 60, 55, something is already broken, the trust is broken. a lot of russians will never forgive putin for doing this. after a fantastic world cup, a great party here in moscow, in russia, it looks like a very challenging time for vladimir putin has now begun. the british government says it's looking into ways of increasing transparency around online political advertising. ministers also want to crack down on cyber abuse, against candidates in elections. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. every day we're subject to a barrage of data. more and more we rely on social media to find out what's happening

in the world around us. that's according to mps, who say there is too much disinformation, particularly around elections, and that could threaten democracy. this is something you see in the palm of your hand every time you pick up your smartphone or go on to your facebook app. so it's much more intrusive than before. but secondly, it's not always clear who is advertising to you. the reason the russians could abuse facebook to run ads to target people in elections was because you didn't know that is who was doing it. 0nline advertising has become a major part of political campaigning. mps looked at techniques used by leave campaigners in the brexit referendum to target certain voters. they concluded there needed to be more transparency about where adverts come from and who exactly is putting them out. this report describes the internet as a wild west where private companies, political campaigns and even foreign countries can manipulate our data for their own ends. it says internet firms must take more responsibility for what's on their platforms,

and it calls for reform of electoral law. so how much of what is served up online really cuts through? how discerning are these diners in north yorkshire about what is fed to them? i tend to ignore the news other than what i see on facebook or on the internet, really. then i get a bit sucked in by it. there is a headline and digesting, oh, i willjust see what there is. i am not very good at having my own opinions, so everything i read will make me believe that, yes. i do find it helpful, but sometimes you don't know if it's true or not. facebook is already highlighting fake news and says it is working on ways to authenticate and label political adverts. meanwhile, ministers are looking at new rules to ensure the source of election material is identified. what we're doing is a couple of measures that we hope will really help to get voters to be

well—informed about digital campaigning, but also to be able to be protected from intimidate three behaviour during elections. the digital world has undoubtedly thrown up new challenges for democratic systems. this report says urgent action is needed to make sure fake news doesn't crowd out the real thing. alex forsyth, bbc news. holly hamilton has all the sport. after 21 stages, three weeks, and over 2000 miles of racing, geraint thomas has ridden his name into the history books. he's the first welshman to win the tour de france, beating dutchman tom dumoulin by one minute 51 seconds. let's hear from thomas. he's been speaking to gareth rhys 0wen. it's mental. whenever anybody says it ijust have to pinch myself. it will take a while to sink in. has it sunk in terms of compared

to yesterday, you were extremely emotional yesterday? how do you feel now? a bit more smug? maybe a bit more used to it, but yesterday was just raw emotion. just raw emotion, i guess. i never thought about the outcome. it was always about the process and doing small things right and thinking about the climb the next day and the planning, not getting carried away, staying calm and collected. suddenly then realising i had won and i didn't know to react and it all came pouring out. so yeah, it's just insane. there is a feeling doing the rounds that you were planning it all along. i wish i was, froome was the leader but obviously i had my chance and really happy to have taken the opportunity. now you have stepped into the level of legend in sporting terms,

how do you cope with that? will that change you ? i don't think so, i hope not, time will tell. i don't think so. i will always be the same. it looks like it's gone crazy back home, so i'm looking forward to getting back and celebrating with everyone, but at the same time looking forward to a bit of normality as well, watching breakfast tv in bed with a coffee and having some toast on the sofa, simple things, and then realising i've won the tour is just crazy. former pro rider turned commentator rob hayles says it's a life—changing moment for thomas. it is quite amazing. we look back at his career over the tour de france, 11 years ago when he first came here, the youngest rider in the tour and then he has progressed, it he

has been away on a couple of occasions, a couple of olympic gold medals on the track and the last 12 months he has focused on this. when you look at how he has written within the team he was pretty much a lwa ys within the team he was pretty much always alongside somebody else, chris froome obviously the main rider who he has looked after to help gain the yellowjersey on four occasions and finally this year he has focused on the sole objective of trying to get the yellowjersey himself. he has come away with it. he has actually done it. it has really been emotional. he is an extremely popular winner amongst the crowd and public, but i think more importantly amongst his peers and the riders in the peloton and that is an achievement in itself. lewis hamilton has dealt another blow to sebastian vettel by winning the hungarian grand prix. the win means he now has a 24—point championship lead as formula 1 heads into its four—week break. the mercedes driver started on pole and controlled the race

to win his fifth grand prix of the season. ferrari's decision to delay a pit stop for sebastian vettel appears to have cost them dear, although the german managed to pass valtteri bottas to claim second place. hamilton now has a significant advantage with nine races to go. what a beautiful day, what would it crowd we have had. an amazing job with the team. we knew the ferraris would be really quick this weekend but to take these points will be a bonus, we deserted. that is all the sport. and staying with sport, qatar's succesful world cup bidding team has flatly denied that it ran a covert "black ops" public relations campaign to discredit rivals for the 2022 football finals. it follows allegations made by the sunday times that the qataris employed a pr agency and former cia operatives to try and undermine bids by the us and australia — in breach of fifa rules.

0ur sports news correspondent richard conway reports. qatar! it was a moment that stunned the sport and the watching world. ever since that day in 2010, the qatari world cup has been embroiled in controversy, and today the sunday times has further allegations of wrongdoing. the paper claims to have seen leaked documents that show the qatari bid team employed a us pr team and ex—cia agents to smear its rivals, mainly the united states and australia. some of the alleged aspects of the smear campaign include a group of american pe teachers being recruited to ask their us congressmen to oppose an american world cup on the grounds that the money would be better used on high—school sports. grassroots protests were organised at rugby games across australia, opposing the country's bid. journalists, bloggers and high profile figures were recruited in each country to hype up negative aspects of their respective bids. there are now calls for fifa, football's world governing body, to hold an independent inquiry.

if the qatari bid team were involved in a campaign like that, then that means they would have broken the rules of the bidding process, so it's a really serious matter. i think it requires proper investigation and fifa to be involved in investigating that as well. in a statement, qatar's supreme committee for delivery and legacy said it rejects each and every allegation put forward. fifa says a thorough investigation into corruption claims was conducted in 2014, with michael garcia, a us attorney, clearing qatar of any wrongdoing. qatar is locked in a fierce political feud with neighbouring countries saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. these claims will therefore be seized upon by its critics as further reason to strip them of the tournament, despite the fact there appears little appetite from fifa to act. richard conway, bbc news. you're watching world is today.-
