welcome to the programme. another deadly earthquake has struck indonesia, killing more than 80 people on lombok island. hundreds more were injured. the search and rescue operation is continuing, but is being hampered by power cuts. it's the second earthquake to hit lombok in a week. rhodri davies reports. in this part of indonesia. this magnitude seven earthquake hit the coast on the resort island of lombok on sunday, and killed dozens of people as well as injuring more. the us geological survey said it struckjust ten kilometres underground. and above ground, there was palpable panic. translation: when i was working, it was initially just little shocks, but then it was getting bigger and bigger

and people started to shout "earthquake!" then all of the staff panicked and rushed out of the building, then officials asked everyone to vacate the building. it's the second quake to hit here in a week, forcing families to rush from their homes and onto the streets, where they stayed amid blackouts to sleep and wait for safety. others resorted to prayer as the power cuts hampered rescue attempts. officials did issue a tsunami warning that they later cancelled, although seawater as high as 13 centimetres entered a couple of villages. and there were two after—shocks to come. translation: we experienced an after—shock, it was very strong. we ran out from our house twice. this is a residential area, the majority of the houses here are for rent. everyone ran out because the quake was very strong. and it was felt on the

neighbouring island of bali, where tourists fled from shopping malls and hotels. we were a little scared, and it went on for a very, very long time. yeah, and everything shook, everything was moving. a hospital in bali put patients outside to sit in tents, this while others with broken bones and head injuries were being taken to it. both islands are popular with tourists. the airports on them have suffered minor damage, but remain open. and after a quake killed 16 people and left 500 hikers stranded last week, with more dead in today's strike, people may be wondering what will come next. rhodri davies, bbc news. let's get some of the day's other news. the president of south sudan, salva kiir, and the rebel leader, riek machar,

have signed a power—sharing agreement which is designed to bring an end to five years of civil war. large crowds cheered outside the venue in khartoum as the deal was signed. many thousands of people have been killed in the conflict, and four million have fled their homes. the united states looks set to roll out new sanctions against iran. the secretary of state, mike pompeo, said an announcement will be made in the next 2a hours. president trump pulled the us out of a deal between world powers and tehran in may. that agreement enabled the lifting of international sanctions in return for curbs on iran's nuclear programme. police in the us state of new mexico have rescued ii malnourished children who were being kept in squalid conditions in a remote desert compound. the local sheriff's office said the children, aged one to 15, had no shoes and were wearing rags. five adults were found at the scene. armed men have attacked a convoy of cars carrying the us envoy to bangladesh in the capital dhaka. ambassador marcia bernicat and her security team were able to get away unharmed,

but two cars were damaged in the incident on saturday. thousands of students and school children have been engaged in a week—long protest calling for safer roads. six people have been arrested in venezuela for involvement in an apparent assassination attempt against president nicol s maduro on saturday. the interior minister said the six were part of a group that loaded two drones with explosives and set them off during a military parade in caracas. our latin america correspondent, katy watson, reports. mr maduro‘s speech started off like all the others, a rallying call on state television to support his revolution. and then this happened. the sound cuts off. the television pictures continue to roll. at this point, you can hear what sounds like panicked officials trying to protect mr maduro. and then chaos. the broadcast gets cut.

unverified footage appears to show the moment the drone exploded during the president's speech. pictures taken seconds afterwards show the president being shielded by bodyguards. within hours of the incident, he returned on screen, defiant. translation: there has been an attempt to assassinate me. i have no doubt that this all points to the extreme right in venezuela in cahoots with the extreme right in colombia and that the colombian president is behind this attempt, i have no doubt. the aftermath felt chaotic. the secret service, a common sight in venezuela, was out in force. this evening, six people were arrested over the incident. colombia has denied any involvement in the incident, as has the us. i can say unequivocally there is no us government involvement in this at all. he's made accusations, accusing the outgoing president of colombia of responsibility for what he calls the extreme

right wing in venezuela. that means the vast opposition to his authoritarian rule. and he has blamed unnamed financiers in the united states. these are things he's said before. venezuela is in deep economic crisis. people are going hungry amid acute food shortages. hospitals are running out of supplies. inflation is expected to rise to 1,000,000% by the end of this year. the opposition‘s warned that mr maduro will use these images to take advantage of a further crackdown on his political opponents. katy watson, bbc news. a world war 2 vintage plane has crashed in the swiss alps, killing all 20 people on board. the aircraft had been returning from locarno in the south of the country, and is thought to have been carrying tourists. swiss police say it came down on a remote mountainside, as sarah campbell reports. there were no survivors.

the wreckage of the vintage aircraft now scattered across this alpine slope. 20 people had been aboard the flight back to zurich. three from austria, the rest from switzerland. 0ne eyewitness said the plane fell from the sky like a stone. what's left of it suggests that was the case. translation: based on the situation at the crash site, we can say that the aircraft smashed into the ground almost vertically at relatively high speed. the exact cause is still to be investigated. what we can rule out at this point is that there was a collision before the crash, neither with another aircraft nor with some other obstacle, such as the cable. junkers 52s were built and used by the german military in the second world war. the one that crashed was part of a fleet now used for sightseeing. according to the owners, it passed a maintenance check at the end ofjuly. the isolated location means there was little radar monitoring of the flight, and the plane had no black box.

the question for the investigators is what could have caused such a catastrophic crash. sarah campbell, bbc news. this weekend has seen a surge in violent crime in the us city of chicago. local media say 59 people have been shot since friday night. the death toll is still not clear, but some reports say at least five people have been killed, others place it as high as eight. police say that despite the recent violence, murder rates are actually down. tamar manasseh is the founder and president of mothers against senseless killings. she's in chicago. tamar, talk us through what you guys do. because it is really interesting. well, what i do, i run an antiviolence organisation called

mass, mothers against senseless killings, and what i do is more proactive than other groups. prior to what was once a dangerous neighbourhood, we said on the corner everyday in the summer, which is typically the most dangerous time of yearfor typically the most dangerous time of year for chicago typically the most dangerous time of yearfor chicago and typically the most dangerous time of year for chicago and every day seven days a week we make sure that young people in the neighbourhood, the children have a safe place to play, they have dinner every night, they learn things, they do things, they are ranked in a safe environment. we make sure they to have a childhood that they interact. and because they do that, —— because we do that we don't see the violence the rest of the city sees —— they interact. it's been a very violent week... oh, dear, she wasjust been a very violent week... oh, dear, she was just getting into been a very violent week... oh, dear, she wasjust getting into it there. we will try to get tamar manasseh back if we can. let's try again, i've been told she is here. tamar, you're back. you're saying summer tamar, you're back. you're saying summer is typically very bad and you

quys summer is typically very bad and you guysin summer is typically very bad and you guys in the last weekend... it was safe for you guys. it was safe, it's a lwa ys safe for you guys. it was safe, it's always really say for us when it's really violent in the rest of the city, at least it has been in the last four years but we need a lot of commitment for what we do. we need to be there every day for four hours. we build a relationship with the community, it's the consistency that stops the violence. we actually become part of the neighbourhood and we know everyone and no one is a stranger to everyone. we really do help build a sense of community. we all know people are far less likely to murder and to rob people that they know, their friends, to murder and to rob people that they know, theirfriends, their neighbours. it's all about familiarity, it's all about less social media and more actual socialising. that's what we do, we create a safe place where neighbours can become neighbours again. in a place where community exists,

violence can't. what caused you to ta ke violence can't. what caused you to take up this cause? ididn't take up this cause? ididn‘t want take up this cause? i didn't want to be a man sitting on the front row. i have two young aduu the front row. i have two young adult children now and i didn't want to bea adult children now and i didn't want to be a mother who was going to bury her child, i didn't want to do that. so before that happened to me, i went out to try to make this city is safer for the city my kids would grow into adulthood in. i didn't have the courage, i'm not brave enough to be a mother who could lose a child, i didn't do it. that's what inspired me —— couldn't do it. 0bviously inspired me —— couldn't do it. obviously it's great what you're doing is working back from a practical standpoint, it seems like an incredible commitment to do this night after night, day of the day, year after year in order that your children don't get shot? -- day after day. it is, but would rather sit on the, for an entire summer or sit on the, for an entire summer or sit on the front row and watch mourners passed by a casket with my

son and my daughter in it? —— sit on the corner. that's my choice. it's no choice for me. absolutely, it's a great commitment but i can do this for a few years, i can't live without my kids. the thing about it, when you have kids, it's about saving their friends as well and everybody else's kids too. that's what it's become for me, they are all my kids. it's about all of them now. do you think this is something that could be used in other neighbourhoods in chicago or other cities? we are in five other cities already. we are in five other cities already. we are in five other cities already. we are spreading out to other neighbourhoods in chicago. it is, as you said, a real commitment, but what are our choices? what's our alternative? if we don't make the commitment then you do have 30 people being shot dead in one day and is that really what we want? so,

you know, it's worth the sacrifice. thank you so much forjoining us, tamar manasseh, founder and president of mothers against senseless killings in chicago. really appreciate your time. saudi arabia says it is freezing all new trade and investment transactions with canada, and is expelling the country's ambassador. riyadh's envoy to ottawa is also being recalled. the moves follow a statement last week by the canadian foreign ministry criticising the arrest in saudi arabia of women's rights activists, including the saudi—american human rights campaigner, samar badawi. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: snapping hong kong's trams. we speak to the photographer documenting the territory's iconic ding dings. the question was whether we want to save our people, and japanese as well, and win the war and taking a chance to win the war by killing all our young men. the invasion began at 2am this morning. mr bush, like most other people,

was clearly caught by surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all the iraqi forces. 100 years old and still full of vigor, vitality and enjoyment of life. no other king or queen in british history has lived so long, and the queen mother is said to be quietly very pleased indeed that she's achieved this landmark anniversary. this is a pivotal moment for the church as an international movement. the question now is whether the american vote will lead to a split in the anglican community. this is bbc world news.

the latest headlines — the indonesian island of lombok has been rocked by the second deadly earthquake within a week. at least 80 people have been killed. the venezuelan government says six people have been arrested for involvement in an apparent assassination attempt against president nicol s maduro. president trump has declared a major emergency in california — as wildfires rage across the state. thousands of firefighters have been deployed, tackling blazes which have been spread by high temperatures and strong winds. so far, seven people have died and thousands evacuated. 0ur north america correspondent, chris buckler reports. for more than a week, parts of california have been in a state of urgency. and now, as a result of the damage, destruction and deaths caused by these ferocious wildfires, the white house has declared this a major disaster. slowly they are containing more and more of the biggest blazes, but it's obvious firefighters are struggling in their battle against the flames and the conditions. strong winds, high temperatures

and low humidity have combined to create the perfect conditions for the wildfires to spread. we've displaced nearly 40,000 plus people. there's been about 1,300 plus homes that have been destroyed. but on the good part, we've repopulated many areas and got people back into their homes as quickly as possible. but some don't have homes to return to, and there are other areas where families are only now being ordered to evacuate. that's true beyond california. skylines across a series of states, including utah, have been lit up by the wildfires. a spectacular sight, but everyone here knows what is at risk. we stayed up there as long as we could in our valley until the flames were actually... they weren't 360 degrees around our area, but close enough that we decided to get out. in california alone, more than 1,000 aircraft and fire

engines are being used in the attempt to bring the fires under control, but it's proving extraordinarily difficult. the mendocino complex fires north of san francisco now cover a sprawling area more than two thirds the size of los angeles, but declaring this a disaster will mean extra money to help those who've lost their homes and businesses, and that number continues to grow. i normally don't like to scare people, but i always want to say we've got tough times ahead. firefighters from new zealand and australia are flying in to help try to help try to tackle the carr fire north of sacramento, another of the major blazes. in this state more than 111,000 people have been involved in the huge effort to put out these flames, but this is only the start of the wildfire season and there is a clear fear of what california could face in the weeks ahead. chris buckler, bbc news. the fires in athens which killed 90

people. days after the resignation of the civil protection minister. the government fails to provide warnings and evacuate the area and gave conflicting accounts on what actually went wrong. after years of secret negotiations... the catholic church and the the chinese communist party may be on the brink of a deal with profound implicatons for their fractious relationship. a compromise, in which the vatican allows the chinese government a greater say in the appointment of clergy, appears likely. some regard it as a way for the church to expand the numbers of china's catholic minority. but as our correspondent john sudworth reports, critics see it as a betrayal. in china, not even prayer is free

from communist party control. for decades, an atheist government has insisted on the right to appoint priests and bishops in the catholic church. but this church in eastern china is one of the many that has been holding out. in defiance of the chinese government, the bishop here has been appointed directly by rome. he now finds himself at the centre of a momentous compromise. despite being frequently detained for his loyalty, the vatican is planning to ask him to step aside. it is a real privilege to meet you. i was hoping i could ask you just a few quick questions. we find bishop guo eating breakfast, then just been released again by chinese state security. i ask him why he was detained this time. translation: i don't know.

i guess they want less media exposure. has the vatican asked you to step aside and have you agreed? translation: the pope is our leader. if he decides, then yes, we obey. if he does get that order, as many here expect, then his congregation will be placed under the control of a communist pa rty—backed bishop instead. it is one of a number of concessions in return for which the vatican hopes it will be free to recruit badly needed new members to a unified chinese church. it is an extraordinary moment. a reconciliation between two of history's great opposing forces — catholicism and communism. while people here may be unable to voice their criticisms too openly, elsewhere there is deep concern. in a seminary in hong kong,

a place where china's persecuted christians once fled, the deal is seen as a deep betrayal. cardinaljoseph zen is particularly concerned that the chinese communist party will have power over all future appointments, with the pope only holding a veto. how many times can you veto? what can you expect from the government? they are presenting their names. can you expect them to present good names? decent names? no. with the new arrangement, they have in their hands the full rights to make their own choice. so, it is going to be a bad choice. do you believe if this deal goes through, it is the end of the catholic church in china? i think so.

for the moment, yes. the true church, it disappears. not for the first time, the vatican is being accused of accommodating an authoritarian regime. ultimately, china's catholics will be the judge of whether it is a sensible compromise, or a sell—out. john sudworth, bbc news, beijing. a number of truck drivers have been rescued from their vehicles in china after being caught in flash floods. more than 20 trucks were caught in floodwaters in henan province after heavy rains. some of the drivers climbed on top of their cabins as their trucks were dragged down stream. emergency workers used ropes and harnesses to rescue the stranded occupants. their were no reports of injuries. trams are are a prominent part of the cultural hertitege in cities across the world.

for more than a century, they've been an iconic feature of hong kong, boasting the only fully operational double—decker tram anywhere. 0ne photographer believes they're so special, she's been documenting the ding dings from dawn to dusk. hello. it's been a weekend of contrast across the uk. scotland and northern ireland have seen more cloud with some outbreaks of rain at times. england and wales have seen plenty of sunshine and it's been very warm if not hot. but some changes to come through the week. slowly we start to lose the heat. it will feel fresher for all of us, an increasing chance of seeing some showers and also still some sunshine, and it's sunshine we'll continue to see for much of england and wales on monday underneath this area of high pressure. meanwhile, for scotland and northern ireland, these fronts will continue to bring more cloud, and also some outbreaks of rain. but slowly it will ease through monday and become increasingly more patchy, maybe a little bit of rain possibly get into the far north of england through the afternoon. equally some breaks of cloud in eastern scotland. after we've lost the mist and low cloud on the western coast,

lots of sunshine for england and wales, feeling warm, with 31 or 32 possible in east anglia and south—east england. still 23 celsius for eastern parts of scotland in the best of the sunshine. through tomorrow evening, for most it will be dry with clear skies again for england and wales, before mist and low cloud reforms on western coasts. still a zone of cloud from scotland to northern england could produce a bit of drizzle at times. temperatures dropping to between 12 and 16 celsius in many areas, 17 or 18 maybe still in south—east england. we still have the front going from monday into tuesday. it's a weakening feature as it slips south and east. still a band of cloud stretching from scotland down into parts of wales and south—east england. and it's a dividing line really between the fresher air behind it and still holding onto the heat and warmth further south and east. tuesday will be the last hot day that we see for some time across south—east england. you've still have that zone of cloud, as i mentioned,

stretching down from scotland into wales and that could bring patchy rain for a time on tuesday. but it will fizzle out and actually by tuesday afternoon, most areas will become largely dry with sunshine. temperatures still exceeding 30 celsius across east anglia and south—east england. the fresher feel further north and west, but it is the last of the hot days. actually through tuesday evening, we could well see some thunderstorms developing across eastern and southern england. as they start to clear away, we'll all be in something fresher as we go into wednesday and thursday. certainly the case across much of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. still some showers around here through wednesday and thursday. but notice the drop in temperature further south and east. many places still dry with an increasing chance that some of us could see some showers. bye— bye.

this is bbc news, the headlines: more than 80 people have been killed on lombok island in indonesia. hundreds more are being treated for broken bones and head injuries. the search and rescue operation is continuing, but is being hampered by power cuts. last week an earthquake killed at least fifteen people in the same area. venezuela says six people have been arrested after an attempt was made to kill preisdent maduro at a military parade in the capital, caracas. the preisdent blamed a right—wing plot by forces within venezuela, and the colombian president, for the apparent attack. colombia says the accusation is baseless. a second world war vintage plane has crashed in the swiss alps, killing all 20 people on board. the aircraft had been returning from locarno in the south of the country, and is thought to have been carrying tourists. swiss police say the 80—year—old plane came down on a remote mountainside in the east of the country.
