9:48 pm
a 32—year—old man arrested on sunday on suspicion of kidnap, has been re—arrested on suspicion of murder. sarah corker reports from staffordshire. 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, in which is normally a quiet lane. as we came back into the farm this morning about 10:30, there was quite a lot of activity around the entrance to the quarry
9:49 pm
at the bottom of the lane. there seemed to be police dogs and police officers. it was around 9am this morning when police closed off this quiet country lane about ten miles from stoke—on—trent. and it has been the focus of intense police activity ever since. then, late this afternoon, detectives confirmed that three men had been arrested. a 32—year—old who had been released on bail was rearrested on suspicion of murder. a 28—year—old and a 60—year—old man were 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. sarah corker, bbc news, in caverswall, staffordshire. 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,
9:50 pm
the combination of plastics used in many yoghurt pots and ready—meal trays mean they can't be properly processed. matt cole has the story. 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. now, when it comes to plastic, 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 are these. black plastic microwave trays. the sensors in recycling sorting machines cannot detect the black and, as a consequence, problems with things like this that means two thirds of plastics end up just
9:51 pm
being thrown away. most ends up in landfill or is 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 recycling and then heard that black, you know, you can't do it. to be honest, ijust look at it and go plastics 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 to change. black plastic cannot be recycled currently and so we are saying 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
9:52 pm
designers and manufacturers and brand retailers to go towards those types of packs that are more easily recycled. because these ones yield secondary material that 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. labour's deputy leader, tom watson, has said the party faces eternal shame and will become unfit for government, unless it calls an immediate halt to the current damaging arguments about anti—semitism. tom watson has given an interview to the observer newspaper. our political correspondent laila nathoo is with me. and intervention from the deputy leader. this is difficult forjeremy corbyn, the comments from tom watson is strong, saying the party has to
9:53 pm
look at itself over divisions on the issue and weighs into the argument on the code of conduct which many mps and campaigners want to include all examples of anti—semitic behaviour as outlined in the international definition and tom watson said they should be incorporated and jeremy corbyn said they are addressed elsewhere in the guidelines and consultation is still open over the code. tom watson wants disciplinary action over two party mps who clashed to be dropped, something that raised the tension over this issue further. the timing of the comments, it comes a day afterjeremy corbyn tried to reach out to the jewish afterjeremy corbyn tried to reach out to thejewish community in an article in which he tries to reassure, promising to root out anti—semitism in his party and there are already mps expressing support for tom watson's views and this will add to pressure onjeremy corbyn

over his handling of the anti—semitism ram. —— row. europe is continuing to swelter in an intense heatwave, with temperatures hitting near—record highs in spain and portugal. three people have died of heatstroke in spain, and a fire in the algarve has destroyed more than a thousand hectares of forest. sima kotecha reports from the spanish city of cordoba. there's hot and then there really hot — and it is across the iberian peninsula. in southern portugal, the intensity of the heat led to wildfires. more than 1000 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
9:55 pm
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. donald campbell's bluebird has taken to the water — for the first time in more than 50 years. the restored hydroplane, which crashed in 1967 killing its famous pilot, was launched in front of cheering crowds on the isle of bute. our correspondent
9:56 pm
catriona renton was there. 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 bodywork 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 ourfamily 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! but there was a need
9:57 pm
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 that was also rescued from the wreckage. i mean, a lump in my throat and electric shocks travelling through my spine and just something almost indescribable. as you say, we have waited a long, long time, but everything good is worth waiting for. today was about seeing bluebird is watertight and checking buoyancy. tomorrow it is likely people on the island will hear her as the jet engine is set to be put to the test. catriona renton, bbc news, isle of bute. it's been a busy day in sport. with the stories, here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. thanks very much. good evening. england's cricketers held their nerve to win a nail—biting first test
9:58 pm
against india by 31 runs. on a gripping final day at edgbaston, india needed 84 to win — england needed 5 wickets. patrick gearey takes up the story. it takes no little effort or spirit to put on your saturday best when you know you won't be here long. this test has little distance to run, but is capable of changing character at the speed of grease lightning. england had spent her summer nights dreaming of dismissing this man, virat kohli. india's best chance of scoring the 84 runs needed. first over, jimmy anderson couldn't get him, but did get dinesh karthik. four wickets to go. this was now a 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. on came ben stokes — who missed the ashes, who 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 clearto him. in the same over, another followed.
9:59 pm
mohammed shami, two to go. adil rashid thought he had one of them. ishant sharma. the umpire disagreed. a review to settle the argument. the computer says yes. still, india crept towards their target, until ben stokes finally settled a memorable milestone match. you always get a great series between england and india and i expect nothing less for the next four games. it is set up beautifully. some fantastic cricket on both sides. a great advert for the game, a great advert for test cricket. england will be delighted at 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, at edgbaston. adam peaty has broken his own world record in the 100 metres breastroke to win britain's first swimming gold at the european championships in glasgow. our correspondentjoe wilson was there to see him do it. there was one reason to take your eyes off adam peaty in glasgow.
10:00 pm
to watch the clock. the world record 57.13 he was chasing was his own. on tv, a red line marks the pace he needed. for context, britain's james wilby — an excellent second — was over a second and a half behind. he has broken the world record! peaty, in disbelief, looked to see his time. the crowd already knew. well, you can hear the crowd's roar. that's notjust for the result, but for the record. remember, adam peaty referred to these championships as a kind of mini olympics. what he's done is given the whole thing status. peaty‘s performance was unmissable. but look past his physique — try. the mind really matters. i've learnt a big lesson this season, tojust enjoy being me. i'm not trying to pretend to be anyone else. you know, i love what i do. and you know, the crowd definitely got the money's worth tonight. well, more of peaty to come here, but if people make cities, world records make championships.
10:01 pm
joe wilson, bbc news, glasgow. ireland's women's hockey team have made history by reaching the final of the world cup. one of the lowest ranked teams in the tournament — they beat spain in a penalty shoot—out to set up a gold medal decider against the netherlands. jo currie reports from london. cheering they came in their droves, and in all forms of transport, for a match they never dreamed they would be involved in. come on, ireland! never have ireland reached a senior world cup final in a team sport. forfans, it's been a last—minute scramble for flights and tickets. two weeks ago when the tournament got under way, most people predicted it would be england playing this semifinal. but along the way, ireland have beaten the odds — and teams ranked much higher than them — to find themselves on the cusp of history. and this all—ireland side, a team ranked 16th in the world, were about to bare their teeth. anna o'flanagan getting them off to a dream start with the final touch to settle the nerves early on as they dominated the first half.
10:02 pm
a change of ends, though, brought a change of fortune. alicia magaz levelling for spain and ensuring the match headed to penalties. for the second game in a row ireland took their chance in a shoot out. with it tied at 2—2 after the first five rounds, it went to sudden death. it came down to gillian pinder, and the midfielder stood tall, sending her team through to a first ever world cup final. the netherlands awaits them, but this team of irish amateurs are on the brink of becoming world beaters. jo currie, bbc news, at the lee valley hockey centre in london. including news from the british open golf where georgia hall is a shot off the lead. good night. you can see more about all today's stories on the bbc news channel. that's all from me. goodbye. hello.
10:03 pm
this is bbc news with carole walker. well, as we've just heard two—thirds of plastic food containers which householders put in their recycling bins actually end up being buried or burned because they can't be recycled. the mixture of plastics used in many yoghurt pots, ready meal trays and other containers limits the ability of councils to recycle them so the local government association of england and wales is calling for a ban on low—grade plastic. ministers say recycling rates are rising, but acknowledge there's "much more to do". well, our correspondent matt cole has been to a public refuse centre in greenford in middlesex and he's been takiing a closer look at what sort of waste is left there. it's at sites like these across the country that the sorting process begins, mountains of rubbish like this needing dividing into what can and can't be used again. now, when it comes to plastics, there's bottles like these, much easier to recycle and to make something else from. but what about these, plastic fruit punnets with mixed
10:04 pm
materials inside them? they're much harder to recycle, to use again. and then there's these, black plastic microwave meal trays, the black colouring in them can't be detected by sensors in the recycling machines at recycling centres and it's things like these that means two thirds of plastics are just being thrown away. the local government association is suggesting that low—grade single use plastics simply be banned now. the british plastics federation says perhaps the firms that choose to package their materials in things like this should face some additional charges, hopefully they think to discourage them from using them. 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
10:05 pm
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
10:06 pm
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 asean meetings in singapore is that the timeline, in part, is up to the north korean leader.
10:07 pm
and until then, economic sanctions on pyongyang will stay. karishma vaswani, bbc news, singapore. our 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
10:08 pm
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 kim jong—un — which does indicate that they have a relationship. and of course that has been seized on by the north koreans themselves. theirforeign minister ri yong—ho making it clear that what is alarming is the insistent moves within the us to go back to the old, far from 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
10:09 pm
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. a police car overturned in central london while officers were chasing a moped believed to have been
10:10 pm
involved in a "series of offences". officers followed the moped rider and pillion passenger for about half a mile from hyde park corner at a.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. 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. our correspondentjenny kumah has been at st george's hospital,
10:11 pm
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
10:12 pm
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. 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.
10:13 pm
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.
10:14 pm
one of the boys did not participate as he is a christian. 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 safe roads". some transport companies have
10:15 pm
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 standards and enforce regulations. several thousand people are killed in accidents every year, giving bangladesh one of the world's worst road safety records. tens of thousands of women have been demonstrating against an epidemic of spycams placed in private spaces like toilets and the images posted on the internet. the protest was held in the south korean capital seoul, where many women say it has them living in constant anxiety and distress.
10:16 pm
catherine karelli reports. chanting. south korea is in the middle of a record—breaking heatwave. but that hasn't discouraged women from taking to the streets of seoul in a mass protest. the target of their anger, so called spy cam videos. translation: i've always been under the fear that there could be secret spy cameras at the toilets, in the company building, or underneath the desks. the threat is also there at public bathing areas, gyms, swimming pool changing rooms, accommodation and on the street. spy cam pornography is the spread of intimate photos and footage taken by hidden cameras. in south korea, it is so pervasive that it regularly makes headlines. perpetrators have included schoolteachers, church pastors, government officials and police officers. in some cases, the victim's own boyfriends or relatives. the me too movement has led to an unprecedented surge in female
10:17 pm
led activism in south korea, with a monthly anti—spy cam demonstration in seoul holding the title of the biggest ever women's protest in the country. translation: the problem is they can install and uninstall the cameras quicker than we can find them. the #metoo movement has led to an unprecedented surge in female led activism in south korea, with a monthly anti—spy cam demonstration in seoul holding the title of the biggest ever women's protest in the country. perhaps in a sign of the tough battle that lies ahead of them, though, many of the women taking part in the protests opted to keep their faces covered, citing safety concerns. but if there is one thing that's clear, it is that the women are fed up of living in fear and they are fighting back. catherine karelli, bbc news. for police officers enforcing the law or responding to a crime, clear communication is essential.
10:18 pm
but language barriers can sometimes make this difficult. now lincolnshire police are trying to break down that barrier, by recruiting multi—lingual officers who can communicate more effectively with the county's large eastern european community. our reporter sarah walton went to meet the new rectruits in training. and that is how you could soon be arrested on british soil. these officers are being trained to detain people in their own language. maks and gosia have both worked in the uk for more than a decade, butjoined the force after seeing a divide between the communities and the police. definitely there is a language barrier. from basics, emergency calls, it's really hard to make, especially when you're in distress. you can't explain yourself properly, and basically most people probably
10:19 pm
won't even make a call. in poland, we've got a bit of a different perception of police than i understand british people have in britain, so a lot of polish people are just basically afraid to come forward. and, because they can't communicate properly, so they will be basically avoiding police. they answered a job ad from the force looking for multilingual officers, recognising a need to adapt to a changing population. if you are in south holland, the boston area, the south of the county, almost 30% of the population there come from an eastern european heritage or an eastern european background, and across the entire county, it's around 10%. in my force, unfortunately, we were way down in the single percentage points, just only three or four people who actually could represent those communities. so it was a problem for us, because it would impede our communication, ability to relate to those kinds of communities. and gosia and maks know they will have an important role
10:20 pm
to play in changing that. i am really hoping i will be able to connect with the people and just make a difference, and make sure that people will feel, like, at home. i will definitely go into the street and introduce myself to the local community, tell them that i can actually communicate with them freely, talk about what other problems, and try to face them together. so far the force has taken on six multilingual recruits, who will be policing the streets of lincolnshire in just a few months‘ time. 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.

10:24 pm
