england have gone 1—0 up in the five—match test series against india, recording a 31 run victory at edgebaston. and at 8.30 in talking books, gavin esler talks to chef and author rick stein on how british food has improved dramatically over the last 30 years. detectives searching for the midwife samantha eastwood, who's been missing for more than a week, have found a body near caverswall, in staffordshire. a 32—year—old man arrested on sunday on suspicion of kidnap has been rearrested on suspicion of murder. 0ur correspondent sarah corker is in caverswall — and has this report. samantha eastwood was described by her family as warm,

generous and a selfless midwife. these cctv images of the 28—year—old leaving the royal stoke hospital after a night shift last friday were the last time she was seen alive. after an extensive search of woodland and fields around the village of caverswall in rural staffordshire, a body was discovered by police at midday. those living nearby said there had been a heavy police presence here for days. just a lot of police activity, a lot of people about, and a police helicopter in the field hovering around, you know, which is normally a quiet lane. as we came back into the farm this morning at 10:30am, there was quite a lot of activity around the entrance to the quarry at the bottom of the lane. there seemed to be police dogs and police officers. and, at 9am this morning, offices closed off this quiet country road. three men have been arrested. a 32—year—old who had been released on bail has been rearrested

on suspicion of murder. a 28—year—old and a 60—year—old have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. the body has yet to be formally identified, but staffordshire police say they are supporting samantha eastwood's family at this difficult time. well, i spoke to sarah a little earlier, and she described the scene at caverswall today. we are about ten miles from stoke—on—trent, and this road has been closed off for most of the day. since then there has been intense police activity, we have seen cars coming and going, and forensic teams. they are now on site, and likely to remain there for some time. as the news is filtering through that a body has been found, one neighbour has come down and laid flowers here. she says she did not know samantha, but felt

it was right to come down here. of course the body has yet to be formally identified, but the police have said that they are now supporting her family. in the last hour or so we heard from the chief nurse, at the hospital where samantha worked, liz rix. she says "our thoughts are with samantha's family and friends." she also thanked the police for their dedication and support throughout this extremely difficult week. and, you'll remember, it was yesterday when samantha's sister made that tearful and emotional appeal to the public for any information. she described her sister as a warm and generous person, and she also said she was a very selfless midwife, that was the job she always wanted to do and she loved that profession. the family have asked for privacy at this difficult time. clearly she is someone who is very dedicated to herjob, and this news this afternoon must have come as a real blow to her colleagues as well as her family.

yes, we have been here throughout the day, speaking to local residents and police. we talked to them about the type of searches they have seen, the activity that has gone on here. one man told me there was a heavy police presence over the last few days at a disused quarry down the road here. another couple said they had seen a helicopter hovering overhead yesterday at a woodland, so police had somehow got some kind of intelligence that has led them to this rural area. it's not thought that samantha eastwood had any connection to the specific area, but of course this is now a crime scene. there are many unanswered questions and this is likely to be a very long investigation. there will be a postmortem of course at some point, but at this stage we do not know when that will be. and we'll find out how this story —

and many others — are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the business journalist john crowley and the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown. two—thirds of plastic food containers which we put in our recycling bins end up being buried or burned — because they can't be recycled. according to the local government association of england and wales, the combination of plastics used in many yoghurt pots and ready—meal trays mean they can't be properly processed. matt cole reports. plastic isn't meant to end up here, choking the seas and the life in it. but despite a growing public awareness of the need to recycle, councils say their efforts are being undermined by manufacturers. it is at sites like these across the country that the recycling process begins. mountains of rubbish needing separating into what can and can't be reused.

when it comes to plastic, well, there are bottles like this, fairly easy to separate and recycle. but what about these? plastic fruit punnets containing mixed materials. that is not so easy. and then there's the use. black plastic microwave trays. the sensors in recycling sorting machines can't detect the black. as a consequence, problems with things like this mean that two thirds of plastics end up just being thrown away. most end up in landfill or incinerated but that is more expensive for councils and taxpayers. it's very confusing. i washed up black things for ages, because i did not want them hanging around smelling, before i went and put them into the recycling. then i heard that black was not, you know, you can't do it. to be honest, ijust look at it and i'll say, "plastic, it's going in there". i think that's what a lot of people do. the choice of packaging to present their product is seen as crucial by some manufacturers but now there are calls for change. black plastic cannot

be recycled currently. so we are saying that actually, black plastic should be banned completely and manufacturers should be made to use plastics that can be recycled. another solution could be to vary the current flat rate paid by manufacturers to help recycling costs, charging extra for more difficult materials. i think what we need to do is drive designers and manufacturers and brand retailers to go towards those types of packs which are more easily recycled because these ones yield secondary material which can be used again. the government acknowledges more work is needed but says it is working with manufacturers to improve recycling rates. matt cole, bbc news. temperatures remain at near record—breaking levels across spain and portugal. three people have died of heatstroke in spain, and a fire in the algarve has destroyed more than 1,000

hectares of forest. sima kotecha reports from spain. there's hot and then there's really hot and it is across the iberian peninsula. in southern portugal, the intensity of the heat led to wildfires. more than 1,000 firefighters tackled the blaze in a popular tourist destination. here in cordoba in southern spain, by mid—morning, temperatures had already reached 30 celsius and then it got hotter. we arrived here yesterday afternoon when it was about 43 degrees. peter stayed in the hotel. i said, "i'm going out for a walk", and i came back pretty quickly. as this torrid weather continues, the government is frequently reminding people here how to stay cool and doctors have told us they are particularly concerned about those who are visiting from colder climates. it is so much warmer here, so much warmer but we have come to see

cordoba and that is what we will do. i didn't listen to the health warnings. ijust wasn't going to cook my head. there's no sign of this extreme heat subsiding soon. forecasters say it is expected to be like this for at least a few days yet but determination often prevails and for some, no heatwave is going to get in the way of having a good time. sima kotecha, bbc news, cordoba. north korea's foreign minister has criticised the united states for urging other countries to maintain sanctions against pyongyang. ri yong—ho said that despite goodwill measures taken by his country, washington was raising its voice louder in favour of sanctions. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, said pressure must be maintained on north korea. karishma vaswani reports. less than two months since the historic trump—kim summit

which took place in singapore, the americans are back. the us secretary of state mike pompeo is here to meet with his counterparts at the association of southeast asian nations. and while he acknowledged the process to denuclearise north korea will take time, he also stressed how vital it is to keep up the pressure on pyongyang. i've also emphasised the importance of maintaining diplomatic and economic pressure on north korea to achieve the final, fully—verified denuclearisation of the dprk, as agreed to by chairman kim. it is worth remembering, this isn't just an american security goal. it is clear our partners and allies within asean know how important the neutralisation of north korea is for their own security. mr pompeo's comments come as a report commissioned by the un security council says north korea has not stopped its nuclear and missile programmes, violating un sanctions. mr pompeo didn't directly address that but did say that russia has

reportedly started issuing work permits to north korean labourers, which moscow has denied. we expect the russians and all countries to abide by the un security council resolutions and enforce sanctions on north korea. any violation that detracts from the world's goal of finally fully denuclearising north korea would be something that america would take very seriously. it has been less than two months since president trump and kim jong—un met at the historic trump—kim summit and pledged to work towards denuclearisation. but we are still nowhere closer to figuring out what that actually means. all that mr pompeo has said here at the meetings in singapore is that the timeline, in part, is up to the north korean leader. and until then, economic sanctions on pyongyang will stay. karishma vaswani, bbc news, singapore. 0ur washington correspondent

chris buckler explained why the us administration is so worried about north korea finding ways around the sanctions placed on it. the un report that is being given to the un security council, it seems to suggest that north korea is finding ways of getting around sanctions, and that is why there is such concern within the american administration. they feel that there are some people who are not doing enough to keep pressure on pyongyang, and specifically they are pointing the finger at russia. this concern that there are businesses in russia that are trying to do some deals with north korea. now, moscow might deny that but mike pompeo seemed very sure that as far as he's concerned, that is happening and that is something that america feels it needs to stop. at the same time, north korea also feels that the us are putting too much pressure on north korea, they feel that they are being targeted here at the same time as donald trump seems to be talking warmly about kim jong—un.

he was doing so on twitter only this week and he made a point at this summit of southeast asian countries of sending a long letter to be given to kimjong—un which does indicate that they have a relationship. and of course that has been seized on by the north koreans themselves, theirforeign minister making it clear that what is alarming is the insistent moves within the us to go back to the old, farfrom its leader's intentions, an indication that they believe president trump believes one thing and some in his administration believe another. the children's commissioner for england has written to the secretaries of state local government and education seeking reassurance that the government will protect services in northamptonshire. it comes after the local authority drew—up plans for major reductions in the services it provides — because of funding shortfalls. speaking to the today programme on radio four, anne longfield said

the cuts in council funding could have "catastrophic consequences" for vulnerable children. extremely worried that the financial difficulties that northamptonshire county council are facing will mean that they're not going to be protecting the services for the most vulnerable children, which could have catastrophic consequences for those children. what northamptonshire are saying is that they're going to be offering a core offer of children's services and a statutory minimum. and my concern is that that won't cover children in situations which you and i would think that they desperately need help, living in families where they are neglected, severe mental health of families, domestic violence and the like. the headlines on bbc news. detectives searching for the missing midwife samantha eastwood say they have found a body — three people have been arrested. new research suggests only a third of plastic food containers can be be recycled — the rest is sent to landfill.

virat kohli, india's best chance of scoring the 84 runs they needed. first over, jimmy anderson could not get him but did get dinesh karthik. four wickets to go. this was now the match, a session of tension. so much loaded on every near miss, on every clean hit. kohli to 50. india, 61 to win. england needed a change. 0n came ben stokes, who missed the ashes and will miss the next test as he is in court on an affray charge, but who got the biggest of wickets, kohli, lbw. the significance clear to him — and to him. in the same over, another followed, mohammed shami. two to go. adil rashid thought he had one of them, ishant sharma. the umpire disagreed. a review to settle the argument. computer says yes. still india crept towards their target until ben stokes finally settled a memorable milestone match. england will be delighted with what happened out here in their 1000th test match, not only beating the number one side in the world but doing so in a dramatic and enthralling

style that proves the enduring theatre of test match cricket. patrick geary, bbc news, edgbaston. what a game of cricket. from start to finish, swung both ways throughout the three days and it made for quite a spectacle. it's great to be involved in, some fabulous cricket played on the way. i'm so proud of the group. i said this morning all i wanted to see was the desire and belief we showed in previous days and we've got that again today. brilliant start to the series and hopefully we can build on that now. ireland's women's hockey team have continued their fairy—tale world cup run, by reaching the final for the first time in their history. the second lowest ranked side in the competition continued their success in london by stunning spain in a penalty shoot—out. it finished 1—1 after normal time, but the irish prevailed 3—2 on penalties and will play the world's number one side, the netherlands, this afternoon at the queen elizabeth ii olympic park.

ididn't i didn't think in my lifetime i would see an irish hockey team play ina would see an irish hockey team play in a world cup final. it's a testa m e nt to in a world cup final. it's a testament to the group of players i have. not me, it's them. it'sjust an incredible group of people. they fight each other, commit to each other, prepare with each other. just incredible and i am so, so proud of them. it's safe to say this is going to go down in history, and i don't know if i'll ever play with a better bunch of girls. they deserve this so much, and maybe the fact we are amateur makes us dig that bit deeper. i hope this gets the crowd what they deserve because we are in a world cup final. it doesn't get much

better than that, and we've exceeded all expectations. in the second semifinal, the favourites netherlands beat australia, but onlyjust. it was also 1—1 after normal time, but the world number one side squeezed through in a penalty shoot—out. the multi—sport european championships is into its third day, and britain has its first gold in the pool. adam peaty won the 100 metres breastroke final, breaking his own world record in glasgow. peaty quashed any question marks over his form at the commonwealth games this year, finishing in 57 seconds flat, shaving more than a tenth of a second off his previous rceord. it's peaty‘s 18th major title. teammate james wilby took silver. truthfully, now, i'm so humbled by the support. the last four years has

been incredible. to end that four—year cycle where it all started in this pool mean so much to me. to go1—2 in this pool mean so much to me. to go 1—2 shows team gb were pushing and pushing and having fun along the way. 0h and pushing and having fun along the way. oh my god, i can't believe it. and in the last few moments katie archibald has missed out on gold in the women's 3000 metres individual pursuit to germany's lisa brennauer. england's georgia hall is still in contention at the women's british open — just a shot off the lead going into sunday's final round. thailand's pornanong phatlum takes a one—shot lead into the final round on 13 under par, after shooting 69 on saturday — the same score as hall, whose putter came to her rescue on more than one occasion, with a birdie at the last meaning she'll be in the final group tomorrow. that's all the sport for now. thousands of student protesters in bangladesh have blocked traffic in the capital dhaka for a seventh day running, calling for stricter traffic laws. the protests have continued since a boy and a girl were killed

by a speeding bus last sunday. jill mcgivering has more. chanting. they're young and they're angry. bangladesh hasn't seen anything quite like this before. school children in uniform took control of the roads for a seventh day on saturday, causing chaos. they want the government to make the roads safer. the trigger came last sunday when a boy and girl were knocked down and killed by a bus. "we have been protesting for days", said this boy, "we wantjustice for the students who were killed by a bus. we want to save roads". some transport companies have responded by staging their own strike. these buses are off the road and the drivers are angry, saying the students are the ones causing trouble. "we stopped running our buses because students attacked and damaged our vehicles", said this driver, "we can't go on the roads, students

hit our drivers, so no vehicles can move". but the students are getting support from many teachers and parents. they all want the government to take action, to stop corruption, improve the standards and enforce regulations. several thousand people are killed in accidents every year, giving bangladesh one of the world's worst road safety records. hundreds of mourners in zimbabwe have gathered to bury one of those killed in the capital harare during protests against the presidential election. president emmerson mnangagwa has called for unity following his victory, and says he will be a leader for all zimbabweans. here, the government says it's deeply concerned by violence following zimba bwe's elections, and has called the response from the security forces "disproportionate". a woman has become the first person in denmark to be charged with wearing a face veil in public. the new law has provoked protests and criticism

from human rights groups. it was officially introduced on wednesday after it passed in denmark's parliament earlier this year. it does not mention burqas and niqabs by name, but says "anyone who wears a garment that hides the face in public will be punished with a fine". most of the thai boys rescued from a flooded cave have returned home after spending time in a buddhist monastery as novice monks. 11 of the wild boars youth football team were ordained novices, in memory of a diver who died during their rescue. their 25—year—old coach, who has received monk‘s orders, will stay on for three months. one of the boys did not participate as he is a christian. an nhs heart surgery unit says it's taking swift action — after a leaked report concluded that claims of a "toxic" row between surgeons at a cardiac unit contributed to a higher mortality rate. the report into the unit

at st george's hospital in london — seen by the times newspaper — says the team was consumed by a "dark force" and patients were put at risk. 0ur correspondentjenny kumah has been at st george's hospital, she explains what the response has been to the report. yes, st george's hospital is one of 28 nhs hospitals that carries out adult heart surgery. the college of cardiothoracic surgeons alerted the trust to unexpectedly high death rates for heart surgery for this year and last year. this prompted management here to carry out a review. they brought in an independent expert, prof buick, a former medical director from the nhs. the findings of his report, he makes some damning criticisms of the situation here, and he found mortality rate was almost twice the national average and the lack of internal scrutiny of the results

of the data was inadequate. he said the department was split into two and it was exhibiting, staff were exhibiting, tribal like activity. the hospital's response has been to say that surgery is safe and they are implementing the recommendations of the report at pace, including the immediate relocation of surgeries into what is being called a single speciality practice. next week new surgeons are being brought in to give leadership support and they are also looking at the way data on mortality is managed and governed. the royal college of surgeons has also given their response, saying that there could be clinically valid reasons for the trust's worse than average early survival rates. they say the trust has always been within the required uk standards. a police car overturned in central

london while officers were chasing a moped believed to have been involved in a "series of offences". 0fficers followed the moped rider and pillion passengerfor about half a mile from hyde park corner at 4.30am. the moped then crashed with a second police car travelling in the opposite direction, which overturned. a 17—year—old boy was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries. he has since been arrested on suspicion of a number of motoring offences, the met police said. the westbound carriageway of the m48 severn bridge has re—opened after what was called an "unprecedented" level of staff sickness led to the closure. the highways agency says it opted to close the tollbooths on the bridge to protect the safety of staff and drivers. motorists were being advised to find alternative forms of crossing westbound while the eastbound carriageway, which is not controlled by toll booths, remained open. a group of 57 female skydivers has

set a new world record in ukraine. it's the highest number of people to get into and then change formation three times during a dive — and it all happened in just 90 seconds. they beat the previous record by one. the rebuilt hydroplane bluebird has been returned to the water, more than half a century after the crash which killed its pilot donald campbell. 0ur correspondent catriona renton reports from the isle of bute where it was launched. the final checks, after 17 years of painstaking restoration, as bluebird prepares to get back in the water. tense moments but also exciting. just to be able to touch it is amazing but to actually be able to be privileged enough to get in it and mash it, that is pretty good.

bluebird was salvaged from coniston water in the lake district in 2001. around 90% of her body work has been restored from the original. this is notjust a technical feat for those involved but a personal one. emily's father has been working on this all her life. this boat has changed his life and made him so proud of his friends and his team and this has really changed our family and i'm really proud of him. one, two, three. today was the culmination of all that work, a labour of love. bluebird was finally ready to launch, almost. take it back out! there was a need for some assistance. one last push and she was off. it is more than 51 years since bluebird was last on the water, and here she is, fully restored, back where she belongs. donald campbell's daughter clutched her father's mascot, which was also rescued from the wreckage. i mean, the lump in my throat and electric shocks travelling through my spine are something almost indescribable. as you say, we have waited a long, long time but everything good

is worth waiting for. at the moment, she is not moving quite so fast. it is hoped she will return next year when she can run at speed. now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello. a mainly dry night ahead. still a bit patchy rain for the far north and west of scotland but, further south, some breaks in the cloud, and clearer skies in england and wales, with some patchy mist and fog through the early hours. not as warm as last night, between 11 and 16. high pressure in charge tomorrow, so much of the country will be dry. the best sunshine in england and wales. still cloud in northern ireland
