hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. violence erupts in zimbabwe's capital harare over monday's election. opposition supporters take to the streets, claiming the vote was rigged. chamisa is the winner! chamisa has got victory in his hands, and we aren't going to listen to whatever result they are announcing! president trump makes his most forceful intervention yet in the investigation into russian interference in the us presidential elections. a passenger plane with more than 100 people on board crashes in mexico, 97 are injured but no one dies. people on board crashes in mexico, we go to mexico to hear about their miraculous escape. and thieves make off with sweden's crown jewels, but what exactly are they going to do with them? we'll hear from an expert. we're still waiting for the election results in zimbabwe.

but the day has taken an ugly turn. three people have been killed in violent clashes. and supporters of the opposition are claiming the vote has been rigged. these are the scenes that have been coming into the newsroom all day. the army and police were called in to try to quell the protests. here they are firing a series of shots into the air. they were clashing with supporters of zimba bwe‘s opposition mdc alliance. officers can be seen here beating protesters. truckloads of anti—riot officers were called in to help clear the streets of harare as tensions escalated. local residents dispersed as protesters lit fires and engaged in running battles with police who fired a water cannon to disperse the crowds. some real scenes of violence there

in certain pockets of harare. let me read you this tweet from pro—democracy organisation vanguard africa. "tragic day for the country and for hopes of a democratic transition — as improbable as that ever might have been." earlier the opposition party held a press conference. this is what they said. we condemn in the strongest sense the action that was taken today. there is no justification whatsoever for the brutality we experienced today. let us all maintain peace in the country whilst respecting the rights of citizens. the idea that protesters are violent is a false narrative that cannot be justified. we urge zimbabweans and supporters to exercise their rights with regards to the law and the rights of citizens. that's the spokesman for the opposition.

earlier today, president emmerson mnangagwa tweeted. .. "at this crucial time, i call on everyone to desist from provocative declarations and statements. we must all demonstrate patience and maturity." the day didn't start out violent, but as it went on more and more people took to the streets. our africa editor fergal keane has the story of the day. singing. from early, there was something different in the air. reports emerged that a presidential winner would be declared by the afternoon. and at opposition headquarters, supporters were gathering in anticipation. an hour to go until the declaration of the result. we've got police water cannon stationed right outside. compared to the celebrations yesterday, it feels more tense. in the absence of an official result, the crowds believe the claims of their leader, however premature. chamisa is the winner!

chamisa has got victory in his hands and we aren't going to listen to whatever result they are announcing! over at the results centre, hopes of an announcement faded. as the declaration of parliamentary results dragged on. it appeared not all the legal representatives of the candidates had turned up. we will announce the result as soon as the legal process has been taken care off. the delay convinces the opposition there is a fix. as the day wore on, foreign observers appealed for a swift declaration. the results of the election were counted first in the polling stations, and therefore i have still to learn why it will be published last. just outside, the riot police had locked the gates against hundreds of protesting opposition supporters. they burnt posters of

the president and ruling party. we heard shots and tear gas, and then the afternoon descended into chaos. at the other end of the city, police came under attack. a ruling party office was targeted. gunfire echoed around the city. there was injury and death. there are soldiers just beyond this group of running people. it's changed dramatically, the atmosphere, in the last 2a hours. really volatile. we've had tear gas and shots fired. i think we've got to go. we saw a bayonet—wielding soldier strike a protester. opposition supporters tried to blockade a large swathe of the city centre. and witness scenes more

reminiscent of a war zone than a country in the middle of a democratic election. i asked the bbc‘s shingai nyoka in harare how zimbabwe's elections went from optimism and hope, to scenes of violence on the streets. i don't think anyone has been able to answer that question. after eight months of relative peace, after the departure of robert mugabe, and eight months ago, we saw historic scenes of the military marching, driving through the streets, being welcomed by zimbabweans. and today we saw very different scenes. the opposition has said the elections could have been stolen, these supporters want the presidential election results announced as soon as possible. they say that the electoral commission is delaying announcing those results,

and they believe that those delays amount to an attempt to tinker with the outcome. president emmerson mnangagwa spoke on public television just about an hour ago, and he said that he was surprised by the protests, but he blamed the movement for democratic change leadership. he said they were responsible for the destruction, so it is quiet now on the streets, uncharacteristically deserted. many people have gone home, there are no cars on the streets, but the implications of what we saw earlier up this afternoon obviously will reach further than that. just put this into context for us, has the violence we've seen been confined to the capital harare? it was confined not just to the capital, just to the capital, but to certain pockets within the central

business district. we saw protesters marched to the national result centre, that's where they barricaded the main entrance, burned up posters of emmerson mnangagwa, and also about a few hundred metres from where i'm standing now near the regional zanu pf office, where they damage the zanu pf building. that's where we understand that one of the protesters was shot and killed. so this is very much confined and we understand that it has not spread to centres outside of harare. but the police commissioner spokesperson was trying to justify the reasons why they used the military, because there have been questions about why. in previous protests, it's the police that handle violence here. and what she said was that the police were unable to cope with the level of violence here. so there are lots of questions about whether this could have been handled differently and better. president trump has made perhaps his most forceful intervention yet

in the investigation into alleged russian interference in the 2016 election. he's tweeted "that attorney general jeff sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now." here's white house press secretary sarah sanders. it's not an order, it's the president's opinion, and it's ridiculous that all of the corruption and dishonesty that's gone on with the launching of the witchhunt. the president has watched this process play out, but he also wants to see it come to an end as he stated many times, and we look forward to that happening. sarah sanders said it wasn't an order. i put it to gary o'donoghue that the tweet sounded very much like one. it does, doesn't it? you would be forgiven for thinking that's what he had in his mind and that's what she says. it is an extraordinary one in the sense thatjeff sessions, the attorney general she is talking

about that the president is talking about that the president is talking about in his tweet, is unable to fire the special counsel anyway. he's recused from the dash himself from the russian inquiry, because he had various contacts with the russians during the election campaign that he couldn't quite recall when he was questioned by a senate committee about that. so he is not in the decision—making pi’ocess is not in the decision—making process anyway. rob rosenstein has shown a note interest in firing robert mueller. gary, iwill bring in eight tweet that says... what exactly is she talking about here? we've seen stories in recent days suggesting that robert mueller will be looking at the president's public pronouncements, including social media postings in terms of the investigation regarding whether there has been any interference with

there has been any interference with the campaign by russia, but also any sort of conspiracy behind the firing of former director of the fbi, james comey. frankly he would be looking at those things. it's not a surprise, but what is being said here is that there is another piece of the puzzle to add to that pile of evidence. if robert mueller is looking to go down that road. gary, something else to discuss today, day two of the trial of paul manafort, the first case stemming from the investigation into alleged russian interference in the election. it says i'll manafort filed false tax returns, amongst others. take us through what is happening in court today? this is not really connected today? this is not really connected to the question of whether or not there was collusion with the trump campaign, buta there was collusion with the trump campaign, but a spin off investigation from that. we're starting to see evidence today particularly from the prosecution, trying to lay out this lavish

lifestyle they say paul manafort was engaged in, hiding his money from the tax man here in the united states in order to spend it on almost $1 million in suits over five yea rs. almost $1 million in suits over five years. the proprietor had a exclusive menswear company in court. we'll hear something from mercedes—benz very shortly. yesterday we learned he spent $21,000 on a wristwatch, as well. i have to tell you, the judge is getting impatient with this approach by the prosecution, saying it is not a crime being awash with money. the prosecution tries to demonstrate white he could spend all this money when he was filing tax returns that show he made a lot less. gary o'donoghue from washington. stay with us on outside source, still to come. missing in action, but finally heading home. the us holds a ceremony to mark the return of what are believed to be the remains of us soldiers killed in the korean war. the future of the house of fraser

department store has tonight been thrown into uncertainty, with the announcement a chinese firm has pulled out of a deal. our business correspondent emma simpson reports. chinese company c. banner, the owner of hamleys, was supposedly coming to the rescue, taking a 51% stake, and crucially injecting £70 million of much—needed cash. now this was on the condition that they shut most of their shops, in a controversial restructuring deal. creditors approved that through gritted teeth, there has been a legal challenge, but all that has been overtaken by events. because this afternoon, c.banner made an announcement on the hong kong stock exchange saying that because of a sharp drop in its share price, it was no longer able to raise the necessary funds to invest in the house of fraser. it is a real blow.

now house of fraser said tonight that it was in discussions with alternative investors, exploring all options. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story. violence has erupted in zimbabwe's capital harare over the result of the country's election. opposition supporters take to the streets, claiming the vote was rigged. other stories from the bbc world service. the us is considering 25% tariffs on $200 billion of chinese goods. that's much higher than the 10% president trump previously indicated might be imposed. the move would cause even more tensions between the world's two biggest economies. two more prominent women's rights activists are reported to have been arrested in saudi arabia. the gulf centre for human rights says that samar badawi and nassima al—sadah were detained by the security forces two days ago.

both are known for their championing of human rights in the country, and were involved in the successful campaign to win women the right to drive. one of our most—read articles online, facebook and instagram are releasing a new tool to limit how much time people spend on their apps. the announcement follows concerns that excessive social media use can have a negative impact on mental health. the remains of american soldiers who died during the korean war are being taken back to the united states. north korea handed over 55 cases to us military officials at kalma airport near the city of wonsan. they were then flown to the us airbase in osan in the south, a0 miles from seoul. on wednesday, the us military held a repatriation ceremony in a warehouse at the airbase. well, us officials say initial results show the remains are likely to be american, which are now being transported

to hawaii for further testing. here's laura bicker. well there are over 7,000 soldiers still unaccounted for from the war, 5,000 us that are thought to have been north of the border at the time. their families are still waiting to find out what happened to them. since 1990, just over 600 sets of remains have been returned by north korea, but there has been this big gap while diplomacy has failed between the two countries. now that things are beginning to get a little bit more on friendly terms, there is hope that more remains will be on their way home. this is seen as a good signal from north korea, at what has become a very difficult time since singapore. there has been very little progress since donald trump met kim jong—un but now this will be seen as something that

america really wants done, that the widows and families of those who have been wondering exactly what happened will now hopefully get some answers. these remains will now be on their way to hawaii, they are being met at the base there by the vice president, mike pence. and they will go under even more forensic analysis. in fact, they've even been taking the dna of those veterans‘s families in the hope of identifying them in the near future. women wearing the islamic full face covering, known as the niqab, in public in demark will now face fines of up to $150. but a small goup of women are planning to defy the new law, arguing they are being unfairly targeted. hundreds of muslim and non—muslim danes are expected to take to challenge the order in protests from wednesday. georgina smythe has more. i am covering the niqab. in the face of a ban on the veil in denmark, these women are putting themselves in the public eye, they say to fight for freedom of expression. they say we are oppressed,

but we are not, and they don't have any proof that we are oppressed or any women in denmark are. they say we are a threat to the nation's security but niqab has never been a means to committing crime at all. taking to the streets of copenhagen, they are rallying the public, to a mixed response. no—one should tell me what to wear so why should we tell them what to wear? you should have the opportunity to look at people in the eye and see each other's faces, because there is so much going on in your nonverbal expressions. danish parliament banned the wearing of the face veil in may, joining france and other european countries in upholding what some politicians say are secular and democratic values. but the protesters say they are being targeted and were never consulted in the decision. they now risk fines

of at least $150. they can also be asked to leave a public place if they don't remove their veil. i would just like to educate the politicians and say we are strong, independent women who are fighting for their right to keep wearing what they want to wear, and that we won't give up. as long as they try to discriminate and as long as they are making use of this hateful rhetoric, we are just going to get stronger. despite the ban's debut, muslim and non—muslim danes are expected to protest with their faces covered, calling for the law to be reversed. georgina smyth, bbc news. it's been a turbulent few months for tesla, with production setbacks for its model three car and controversy surrounding founder elon musk after a string of outbursts on twitter. the us firm has set a goal of turning a profit for the first time since it was set up in the second half of this year. it's just released its earnings for the last quarter,

business correspondent kim gittleson has them and joins us live from new york. so kim, is the company on track to follow through on that promise of profitability? the results came out ten minutes ago, i poured to the numbers and tesla reported once more a loss this quarterfrom them on its of april and june. losing $742 million. but elon musk says he still thinks the company is on track to be profitable by the end of this year. that's because he said the tesla finally hit its production targets for its model s vehicle, saying it finally was hitting —— model three, saying it was hitting 5000 vehicles a week, that was the target date set for the model three. he said they achieve that at the end ofjune intojuly, giving him confidence that the company might finally slow the rate at which it's going through cash,

which has been a big area of concern for investors. but i want to say so far, it is unclear if investors really buy this earnings report. the shares have been quite tumultuous and after—hours trading since that out —— earnings were released. the key thing will be what elon musk has to say on a conference call to discuss these earnings, which will happen in an hour's time. i know you ll be listening to the conference call later to see what elon musk has to say. what are investors are hoping to hearfrom him? the last one was so disastrous, i think if hejust the last one was so disastrous, i think if he just manages to stay on track it will be a good thing for investors. if your member last quarter, he said he wanted no more boring, boneheaded questions when he was pushed by some analyst about just how tesla was going to hit its production targets. so as long as he can take questions and answer them ina calm can take questions and answer them in a calm manner, i think that might be enough to please at least some a nalysts. be enough to please at least some analysts. a key question will be some reports that we had earlier this month, suggesting tesla was asking for rebates from some of its

suppliers, asking to put off pain and its into the future, saying that these suppliers might cut ted larsen discounts —— tesla. looking to see what elon musk has to say about that, and whether he thinks the current democrat company will be profitable by the end of 2018. thank you very much, kim. it's been a momentous day for the world's biggest company, apple. its shares jumped 5% during the day's trading session, adding some $50 billion to its market value. earlier we spoke earlier to shona ghosh, senior tech reporter at business insider uk. it's astonishing they've convinced people to pay that money for what is a superpremium device, but considerably more expensive than other phones. the iphone seven, the predecessor of the iphone seven plus, cost 2— $300 less. i think

apple has cordoned on to the idea of how willing people are willing to pay to upgrade to the most current model, and people are willing to pay those prices to build on the latest iphone. there is some speculation that they will go to the second—hand market, and that is true, people are looking for cheaper iphones. but there is a score of super fans who like to pay those really top prices. it is amazing how apple has built up all these side businesses. it wants not just to make all these side businesses. it wants notjust to make money from hardware, it understands that smartphones are commoditized, many people on smartphones, they're all starting to look this up —— the same. apple's best plan is to lock you into the ecosystem and get you to buy apps through the app store, pay more for storage but i cloud, and so on. we think of robots as the cutting edge of innovation, but their capabilities

are still limited. however, one firm has made something of a breakthrough in robot technology, as dave lee reports from san francisco. think of what it takes to build a lego. first you must work out which brick you need. you need to pick it up, hold that the right way, and then apply force, but not too much, to connect the bricks together. brick bob, created by autodesk, can do all that and unlock new ways to make things. this book manufacturing, where things coming out of the assembly line might be very customised for the end customer. you have seen robots making things before, but the kind of machine you will see in factories today require extensive programming and calibration. derek they're engineered in a way that everything is locked in. if something were to

go wrong, a part doesn't get delivered exactly, then the line goes down. he says his brick bot solves that by being understanding ofa solves that by being understanding of a task, rather than simply following instructions. in theory that means it should be able to adapt quickly to new projects. time to update you on the postelection situation in zimbabwe, we have not heard the results of the election, but they're saying the mdc alliance of is or has one. we are hearing three people have been shot deadin hearing three people have been shot dead in clashes in the capital of harare. play more to come in a few minutes' time on outside source. hello, the next uk forecast is

coming up in half an hour. now the main weather stories from around the world. starting with what is claimed to be the world's largest thermometer in california. the real thermometer, you know it's a hotspot injuly. they have recorded an average temperature of 42.2 celsius. that makes it the hottest month and never “— that makes it the hottest month and never —— ever recorded on earth. beating a previous record set in july last year. we know it's been baking across the desert southwest with the usa. a lot of what weather, those affecting eastern parts of the usa, slow—moving weather system here thatis usa, slow—moving weather system here that is heavy and thundering down pullers. —— downpours. ahead of that into the canadian maritimes, there is heat of the moment, with temperatures above 30 celsius in some spots pacific northwest of the usa -- usa, some spots pacific northwest of the usa —— usa, able abouta some spots pacific northwest of the usa —— usa, able about a cooldown. it is about to come less hot in the southwest of the usa, there may be a

few storms, but what you don't want is dry thunderstorms with lightning sparking further fires after all the heat. a lot of rain to talk about in india at the moment, and you will look to the north, it's really... they're seeing heavy rain in the next few days from the monsoon, western parts have dried up with that, and into new delhi, we're expecting plenty in the next coming days. all for the weekend into the of next week. but there is a tropical weather system moving toward china, this area of rain, a swirl of wins, it was a typhoon as it moved through japan, swirl of wins, it was a typhoon as it moved throuthapan, now a tropical storm bearing down on the shanghai area. there'll be lots of rain from that, up to 100 mm, the potential for damaging winds, not quite what it was injapan. behind that weather system, he is building again injapan, a look at the temperatures in the south korea near 40 celsius. the weather story in europe is all about the heat, there

are some storms do there through central and eastern parts, but through the west, it is going to be a sweltering few days, particularly in the spain and portugal, where they are expecting to —— temperatures atop out friday into the weekend in the upper 405, potentially upsetting records here, something to keep a very close eye on. you can see the core of the heat building as we gone through friday. coming with that will be plenty 5un5hine. baking near record heat, if not record, at this part of the world. in the uk, temperatures for some are heading up particularly across some are heading up particularly acro55 5outhea5tern area5, some are heading up particularly acro55 5outhea5tern areas, but not everywhere. we have the full story coming upfor everywhere. we have the full story coming up for you in the weather for the week ahead after this. hello, i'm karin giannone, this is outside source. violence erupts in zimbabwe's capital harare over monday's election. opposition supporters take to the streets, claiming the vote was rigged. chami5a is the winner.

chami5a has got victory in his hands, and we are not going to listen to whichever re5ult5 they are announcing. a pa55enger plane with more than 100 people on board crashes in mexico. 97 are injured, but no—one dies. we go to mexico to hear about their miraculous escape. president trump makes his most forceful intervention yet in the investigation into russian interference in the presidential elections, calling on his attorney general to end it "right now". and thieves make off with sweden's crown jewels, but what exactly are they going to do with them? we'll hear from an expert. when you hear that a plane carrying over 100 people has crashed you might expect the worst, but today we bring you a survival story from mexico.

an aeromexico flight travelling from durango to the capital mexico city cra5hed ju5t moments after take—off. here are the pictures showing the aftermath, 5moke billowing into the air. it looked like an absolute tragedy had happened. remarkably, no—one died, but 97 are injured, including the pilot who's had a spinal operation. this was obviously a terrifying experience for all on board. let's have a listen to a survivor. experience for all on board. translation: there was a strong explo5ion which hit the plane. we don't know if it was a lightning bolt or a mechanical problem. we had just taken off, and the plane fell. the outgoing mexican president enrique pena nieto tweeted his hopes that all patients have a speedy recovery. a5 for the airline, they've released this statement saying they are "deeply sorry for this accident" and will release more information when it has a clearer idea of what went wrong. i spoke to our bbc mundo correspondent ana gabriela roja5 in mexico city. i asked her why information

is coming out so slowly. hello, well, there are many reasons. there is actually an association of pilots and people involved in aviation here who are really complaining. they say they need to know more about these cases. and this is not the first time where they say there is no information so they can learn from this accident in order for the next time, whether it was a human mistake or it was a technical problem. so also, the media wasn't really completely allowed inside of the site, so that's why we are having trouble to find out a little about the survivors point of view. right, so nothing confirmed about what was behind us, but what are the theories about what might have caused this accident? there are two main theories behind it. one is the climate. it was really a hailstorm, it was strong at the moment of impact, and the other one is a technical issue. so nothing is described yet,

but they say, the aviation authority has said it is going to take some time to really know what happened there. at the moment, they have the black boxes from the plane and recorders, and they are going through it, but they already say it is going to take some time. and people are getting a little bit anxious and angry about it. people in mexico must be absolutely bowled over with the fact that everybody got out of this plane alive, seeing those pictures, in particular that this was just minutes after take—off when the plane was loaded with fuel. exactly, people are kind of shocked and angry but at the same time, they are happy, they are calling it a miracle, the miracle of durango because everybody survived and everybody is alive. as you say, only two people are injured in a more critical situation. that is the pilot, and one little girl who had burns over 25% of her body. but they are alive and it was

actually really a lucky escape for everyone. yeah, and what else have we been hearing from the survivors about what that experience was like them? they say it was like coming to life again. they were actually not expecting it. it was just taking off when all this happened and it was like a lot of smoke, and lot of fire around them. so theyjust had to jump out of the plane. most of them had to walk by their own feet because the plane was torn into two parts, so they kind of came outside the plane by their own feet, so they were kind of surprised and are in shock. yesterday, we reported on the story of a shark stolen from an aquarium. well, today we have another story of theft. thieves have nicked sweden's crown jewels and made off on a speedboat. sadly, we don't have pictures of the getaway,

but these are the jewels. two crowns and an orb belonging to 17th century king karl iv and his wife queen kristina. the royal jewels are decorated with gold, precious stones and pearl5. the jewels had been on display in this small village called strangna5 near stockholm, inside this cathedral. the two men then fled by speedboat. here's what a witness told the media. one of my friends, she saw two people running, a man from this direction and a man from that direction, and we could see... i saw the boat was there, a white little boat, with an outboard motor on the back. the two men hurriedlyjumped on board, and it sped off in that direction over that way. here's what a police spokesperson said. police have launched a huge search operation, but currently have no suspect5. so what will the thieves do with the jewels? here's an art recovery expert.

we fully expect the thieves to reach out to law enforcement or an organisation like myself who represents a lot of insurance companies and see if they can ransom these things. they are unsellable in the marketplace. they would be foolish to try to melt them down for the gold in the jewels that they contain because they have a lot more value as a whole object. so we're fully expecting to be contacted with some sort of ransom demand. if they find that they cannot unload them, it's not unusual for these to simply abandon the items. the last time a theft happened like this in sweden, objects were found in a black plastic garbage bag. here's maddy savage with more on what we know about the robbery itself. yeah, an incredibly daring robbery taking these jewels, very precious crowns from the inside of a cathedral. they went there during the day, there were staff there,

other visitors, and somehow managed to get the jewels out of a cabinet that was supposedly locked and had an alarm on it. once they got outside, witnesses say that they saw thieves running towards the water and then going off in a motor boat, speeding across lake malaren, which is one of sweden's largest lakes. it's about 120 km from one side to the other, and despite the fact that police are searching this lake very carefully with helicopters and their own boats, the thieves haven't been seen since. what do we know about the jewels themselves? their value, their historical significance in sweden? well, police and various experts today has simply been saying that you can't put a price on these kind ofjewels. they are in pristine condition, they've been kept for several hundred years, they date back to the 16005, worn by king charles ix here in sweden, his wife queen kristina. i think it's important to point out this is a king that didn't rule for so long in sweden, about seven years.

he's not necessarily a household name here. if these had been the most precious jewels in sweden, they probably would have been kept in one of the royal palaces, but that's not to say that they aren't still incredibly valuable and a lot of questions being asked now about what might happen to them next. one police officer said it will be very hard to sell them on now because there's been so much global media interest. everyone's seen the pictures of them. she said one option could be that they might be melted down, but that's something she said she didn't want to bear thinking about. do police have any idea at all where they might have have gotten the jewels and who was behind the theft? it does seem to be a really big mystery. police have said they're not chasing any specific suspects. they don't know what they have gone, they haven't found any clues they have reported to the public from any of their searches. they have asked interpol, the international organisation that helps police forces, to co—operate to get involved in case the robbers have managed to flee the country. but right now, their whereabouts

seems to be anyone's guess. and as one police officer put it, it's definitely 1—0 to the robbers right now. a us federaljudge in seattle has blocked the release of software that allows people to make these things. they're plastic guns that can be made on 3—d printers. gun group, defense distributed, released the blueprints online after a lengthy legal battle. but then the company had to remove the plans from its website, as you can see here, while also sending out a rallying cry to uncensor the site. well, this man, the firm's founder cody wilson, says no—one has used his 3—d printing idea to commit any crime. i spoke with paul ralph, he's a senior lecturer in computer science at the university of auckland, and i started by asking him how much difference this ruling will make if these blueprints have already been out there for a while. trying to regulate what is available on the internet is kind of hopeless. it's like screaming into the void, right?

there are loads of 3—d firearm blueprints already online that you can get. i think what this is really about is whether businesses can sell them. right, ok, to some extent, the genie is out of the bottle and there is nothing you can do about some of those designs being out there and getting into the wrong hands? yeah, there is a difference between some amateur design that is available online and all of the major gun manufacturers making loads of these things for sale. at a much better grade for sale. ok, tell us how effective getting one of these blueprints, feeding all of the information into your printer could actually be? what kind of result might you get it the end of it? how good a gun could you have? so it is complicated, right? these printed firearms are kind of idealfor criminals because there is no background check and there is no serial number so it is hard to trace.

you can sneak them through a metal detector because they are made of plastic. and we you are done with her crime, you can melt it and there would be no weapon to find. but 3—d printers vary dramatically in quality. they are very expensive printers that print things out of metal but those are out of reach for most people. most printers you can get are making things out of cheap plastic and the quality is probably not there yet. however, you might be able to make your gun able to make your gun fire like one shot. not be able to make a gun that if you mess with it a little bit after you build the gun, you can fire lots of shots or a gun that is almost all plastic but use metalfiring pin and a metal spring here in there, then it becomes fully functional.

so it is understood about whether it works as a printer. it is not whether it can be easily messed with it make it work. the end thing need worry about is have these printers become more advanced and less expensive over time, and sooner or later the camera to printer you might get to a child as a birthday gift can suddenly print a working firearm. quickly, some people are terrified by the potential ramifications of this knowledge getting out there. are they right to be? no, it is already very easy to get a firearm in many countries, so there is no reason for public panic. stay with us on outside source. still to come: a kurd who came to the uk as a refugee has just won the fields medal, the most presitgious award in mathematics. we have his story. tonight, northamptonshire county council has been holding crisis talks. it needs to save up to 70 million pounds by next march. our reporter spoke to the council leader. yes, this meeting

has had to take place for counsel to set its priorities because as you say, it says it needs to save up to £70 million by march after government reports that there have been years of mismanagement by senior counsellors and officers. with me is the conservative leader of this authority. these cuts, they must have a huge impact on residents here. first of all, it is massive. we have to be clear that if we cannot take all that out this year, it is going to have to roll over to next year perhaps. what i can guarantee is we are very much focused on doing our best in terms of getting in terms of getting to grips with finances in northampton county council. we have a new chief executive in post. we have commissioners here we are working very closely with. we are developing mature relationships with our partners who have been criticised in the past. it is a massive amount, but we are trying to work really hard to deliver some of those savings on the half of the residents of northamptonshire. will you be even able to meet your legal obligations? even those areas you have to cut.

that was part of the meeting you referred to tonight, talking about what our priorities are and how we map spend through the directorate. the two big drivers, the two big spending areas that we deal with are social care and the children's services. we know there are massive pressures on the services everywhere in the country and we are no different. thank you very much for speaking to us. today, it was just about setting the broad priorities for how this massive amount of money is going to be saved, saving almost £15 for every £100 this council spends is a very, very ambitious by march next year. we have to wait and see how they plan to do and whether they achieve it. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is: violence has erupted in zimbabwe's capital harare over the result of the country's election. opposition supporters take to the streets, claiming the vote was rigged. you may have heard of this

simple concept that hot air rises, so the fire obviously heats the air up so the fire obviously heats the air up to much higher temperatures than the air that surrounds it. and that hotair the air that surrounds it. and that hot air will then rise up in the atmosphere. and as that air rises, high up many of us are, what you get on the surface is air has to rush in and replace it, and so that is what causes window. is the in the causes went all around the world generally, air rises and air rushing in to replace it and this is what happens in the fire. the fire. but with that extra heat source, it happens with a fairamount of extra heat source, it happens with a fair amount of intensity. how common is the phenomenon of firestorm in their own weather system?m is the phenomenon of firestorm in their own weather system? it is common if the fire is big enough. was it about the affect of the weather has on wildfires, but is not unusualfor weather has on wildfires, but is not unusual for wildfires to affect the weather in this way. you get the win so they can actually form their own clouds as well because all the

moisture in what is being guarded through rising up with that hot air in the conformism clouds in the sky as well. now if a system like this forms its own thunderstorms from the fire and the power of the fire, does that help or hinder the firefighting effort? that is a difficult question because it is finely balanced. the fire conformism storm clouds, that gives you rain. rain is a good thing in the firefighting efforts, he can help to extend with the blaze for what you also get if this story makes his own thunderclouds is a lightning. and lightning can be thumbing its parts off wildfires of it isa thumbing its parts off wildfires of it is a difficult balance. and these systems behave a little differently to the normal ones that we expect, the ones we see around the world, it is hard to know what way it will be on ballots. we get this thing called a dry thunderstorms where you get a softwa re a dry thunderstorms where you get a software that does not give you any rain butjust software that does not give you any rain but just gives software that does not give you any rain butjust gives you lightning and that is not good news in terms of fighting fires. what is the

forecast this part of california? when the rain and there is very little of that in the forecast. temperatures drop away a little bit over the next few days, it has been very hot but to richard dabour while in the forecast. temperatures drop away a little bit over the next few days, it has been very hot but to richard that for a while and then so the likely. australia may be used to extreme heat and sunbaked soil, but winter has failed to deliver the rain needed to keep farming communities afloat. these photographs were taken by a 16—year—old girl on australia's east coast. when the rain stopped, zara king started to document the demise of her family's sheep and cattle farm in rural new south wales. 99% of the state is experiencing drought. paddocks that were once green are now dry and dusty. like many others, the kings have had to bring in hay to keep their stock alive, but supplies are running low and a lot of their cows aren't doing well. their story is not unique.

these drone pictures show many communties struggling with what's been dubbed "the big dry". here a farmer stands in what was once a dam. here are the voices of some of those affected. i have been here all my life and is the worst i have ever seen in 58 yea rs. the worst i have ever seen in 58 years. i found rows a little bit like cancer. it's sort of eats away at you. he gets drier and drier and more severe and more severe at you. he gets drier and drier and more severe and more severe and impacting on your life for the worse. one of the most prestigious prizes in mathematics has been handed out at a ceremony in brazil. the fields medal is awarded once every four years to mathematicians of 40 years and under. this time around, caucher birkar, peter scholze, alessio figalli and akshay venkatesh were all recipients. but ijust wanted to tell you a bit more about prof birkar. he's a kurd who came to the uk as a refugee.

he was born in kurdistan province, near the iran—iraq border, and was raised during the eight—year war between the two neighbouring countries that broke out in 1980. while growing up, his maths club in tehran had pictures of fields medal winners lining the walls, and he said, "i looked at them and said to myself, ‘will i ever meet one of these people?”' "at that time in iran, i couldn't even know that i'd be able to go to the west." each winner receives a 15,000 canadian—dollar cash prize and is propelled to maths stardom. let's return to the situation in zimbabwe. just a recap on the events of the day. the data began peacefully and then turned violent, certainly in a certain parts of the capital. opposition supporters out on the streets, demonstrating that

the warmer weather to our shores. the next few days, it looks to be really hot once again. in particular in the southeast corner of england which will see temperatures into the low 305 celsius as we head to the coast where you see the cooling normally. a bit further north much of the midlands, wales england england, temperatures topping out at the high 205, still very pleasant summer the high 205, still very pleasant summer weather. and for scotland, northern ireland, and the very far north of england, highs close to the low 205 celsius may be even cooler than that in coastal parts of scotland. the reason why we are seeing this heat returning, especially in wales, is we are tapping into this extreme heat in the continent and into france. the pressure charts for thursday show high pressure holding on across the southeast corner of the uk, whereas in the north, we have got lower pressure. more cloud and weather fronts. that will bring thicker cloud and rain to parts of northern

ireland, especially the west of scotla nd ireland, especially the west of scotland and western wales through the course of thursday. the best of st—jean in eastern scotland and its central england and into the southeast where it will be warmer for all and certainly for england and wales, 27—29dc, maybe 30 in the southeast. on in friday, weather fronts across the northwest. for the northwest. further south, we think it will affect more central part of the uk's we could seek thicker cloud, some showery rain across northern england, the north midlands and into wales and in the north and south should have a fine day with good spells of sunshine but those temperatures will rise even further to the south and southeast. we are tapping into that warm air in the near continent so highs up to 32 degrees across the southeast. the northeast, 17 to 22 celsius. onto the wicked, high pressure which is damaging to see. highlight isobars and that northern weather front will affect the corner of the country.

the front sinks his way southwards during the week. fresher, cloudier conditions too much of scotland and northern ireland in the far north of england. steerfairly northern ireland in the far north of england. steer fairly warm with temperatures into the low to mid 205 celsius. for the south will be hotter with the upper 205 celsius and across the southeast with a low 305 high. things will cool off a little bit as we head into next week asa little bit as we head into next week as a area of high pressure adds away and allows the low pressure which will bring more of a breeze and outbreaks of rain tubes cut northern ireland and scotland and down towards northwestern england and wales. that's a sunshine in the midlands and southwards and pretty warm it would highs of 27—28d and closer to the sea with scotland and northern ireland. so battle of air masses into the start of next week. the warm air holds on for a while longer across england and wales and then we'd do a little bit cooler in

fresher for then we'd do a little bit cooler in fresherfor a time off then we'd do a little bit cooler in fresher for a time off the atlantic. as we had to the weak, very warm air and soft to the near continent and that minty green colours and blue. nestle, it starts off very warm or even hot in the southeast and then cooler for midweek and then onwards by the end of the weekend could be turning warmer again. some arejust keeps delivering. violence erupts in the capital of zimbabwe as the opposition claims the elections have been rigged. the army use live ammunition against protestors — three people are reported dead. tear gas is fired, as the chance of a peaceful transition to a new political era ebbs away. it's changed dramatically, the atmosphere in the last 24 hours. really volatile now. we've had tear gas fired, shots fired. i think we've got to go. the anger is fuelled by an unexplained delay in announcing the result of the presidential election. eu monitors say it's undermining the vote's credibility. also tonight...
