as the earthquake struck, people at this hotel in lombok dashed to safety. 0thers simply called on god as they felt the power of mother nature. traumatised survivors faced a night outside, the buildings too unsafe after two after—shocks. at this hospital near the epicentre, patients had to be moved outside. many of the injured from across the region were transferred to nearby bali, which also felt the quake. doctors and nurses desperately tried to save lives in conditions that were farfrom ideal. translation: we will place patients here in the parking lot and also in the hallway of the hospital. we will build emergency tents so our medical teams can concentrate on handling patients.

as rescuers search for people amongst what's left of the buildings, hope as a survivor is found. unable to walk but alive. it's just a week since another quake hit in a region that is prone to them. there are no guarantees when the next one might be safe for these people to return to their homes. lebo diseko, bbc news. jeremy newman was on holiday on the gili islands with his family, just off lombok, when the earthquake struck. thank you for being with us. tell us what happened, and where you were when the earthquake struck? yes, of course, it was we were on a beach front restaurant, on the west side of the island, and my children and i took a look at what was happening

and there was a mighty shuddering, it shook conveniently for ten or so seconds, throwing us on the ground. the lights went out and it was chaos. and, just tells then how did you escape from the scene. well, we and a large number of the locals and tourists, made our way, there is a slightly higher area on there is a slightly higher area on the island and there was a degree of panic, so we made our way in fli p—flo ps panic, so we made our way in flip—flops up to the top of the highest point in the island. jeremy, thank you very much. it is not a great line so we will leave it there, thank you for telling us at a man has appeared in front

of magistrates, charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood. ms eastwood's body was discovered when police searched rural ground near caverswall, staffordshire, on saturday, eight days after she was last seen. michael stirling, who's 32 and from stoke—on—trent, is the brother—in—law of herformerfiance. 0ur correspondent caroline davies is at north staffordshire magistrates' court now. tell us what has happened there so far today? so tell us what has happened there so far today? 50 michael tell us what has happened there so far today? so michael sterling arrived this morning at 10am, he appeared in front of the court, he spoke only to confirm his name, to confirm his age, 32, and to confirm his address in staffordshire. he had the charges that he is charged with murdering samantha eastwood. she went missing on 27thjuly after she had finished her night shift as a midwife, she didn't turn up for her evening shift that evening and they raisedty alarm. samantha's body was

discovered on saturday in rural area, that is about ten miles away from her home. as you say we believe that mr sterling is thought to have known samantha eastwood, we believe that he is the brother—in—law of her former fiancee, that he is the brother—in—law of her formerfiancee, she that he is the brother—in—law of her former fiancee, she was engaged but it was broken off earlier in the year. it was broken off earlier in the yea r. two it was broken off earlier in the year. two other men had been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offend e they have been released on conditional bail. mr sterling is due to a peer on wednesday via videolink at stafford crown court. thank you very much indeed. england cricketer ben stokes has arrived at court today where he will be on trial accused of affray. the 27—year—old all—rounder and two other men are jointly charged with the offence after an alleged incident in the clifton area of bristol last september — hours after england had played a one—day international against the west indies. stokes and the other men — ryan ali and ryan hale — all deny the charges. in portugal, wildfires

are threatening to engulf homes and businesses in the monchique area of the algarve. more than 900 firefighters and soldiers along with 12 aircraft, have been fighting the flames for more than three days. meanwhile, president trump has declared a major emergency in california — as wildfires there continue to 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 have been 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, there has been about 1300 plus homes

that have been destroyed, but on the good part, we've repopulated many areas and got people back in to their homes, 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. 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 cost of rural crime soared to £16 million last year — the highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to practical methods like building trenches to protect their properties against a growing wave of vehicle and livestock theft by organised gangs. ian wight reports. it is an idea that comes from medieval times — moving mounds of earth to create trenchers, ditches, and barriers, to stop criminals getting onto farmland. this scheme in gloucestershire is encouraged by the police and is provided free of charge by local companies. this year we are seeing people bringing things like earth banks — the sort of medieval fortifications, last used 1000 years ago — they are putting up

stockade—like fences around theirfarms, and using these in conjunction with technology like cctv. yorkshire sheep farmer david knows too well what it is like to be targeted by criminals. in the last 18 months it has got beyond a joke. we were being visited at least once a fortnight. i would put it down to two different groups — one group were pinching tools and small items, but our biggest problem is our quad bikes. with equipment costing hundreds of thousands of pounds being kept in remote, isolated areas, sophisticated, sometimes dangerous gangs of criminals know exactly what they are looking for. we know organised crime gangs are working notjust in europe but across the world. that will be paying for other things. they will be paying for drugs to come back in, for debts to be paid off, forfirearms smuggling. the government says police funding will increase by over £160 million this year. every chief constable in england has

now signed up to a national plan to tackle rural crime. but the police say farmers, too, must do more to keep their properties safe. ian wight, bbc news. a man has been charged following a pre—planned operation by officers from the met‘s counter terrorism command. matthew lennox, from northwest london, was charged on friday with possession of a bladed article and appeared at westminster magistrates' court on saturday. he was remanded in custody to appear again today. drug deaths following misuse of fentanyl have risen by almost a third, according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics. the figures show there were 75 deaths from fentanyl — a syntetic opioid used to treat cancer patients — in 2017, up from 58 in 2016. at the same time, deaths from synthetic drugs designed to mimic cannabis or other so—called party drugs halved last year. alex stevens is a professor

in criminaljustice at the university of kent and a member of the uk advisory council on the misuse of drugs. thank you for being withes us, what do you make of the figures in general? fentanyl is just a small pa rt general? fentanyl is just a small part of the story the figures are disappointing, in that they showed the highest level of drug—related deaths recorded in 2017, the rise in fe nta nyl is deaths recorded in 2017, the rise in fenta nyl is concerning deaths recorded in 2017, the rise in fentanyl is concerning but the numbs are are still small. 75 deaths but nearly 2,000 deaths related to her win, often with alcohol. her win and as you say with alcohol, that is the main killer. that is the most responsible for killing people in this country. the government has been advised on how the deaths could been advised on how the deaths could be reduced but it is failing to take enough action to do so. what should it be doing that it isn't doing now? the advisory council and other

expert bodies advices the government should maintain the investment that is put into therapy for people who defend on heroine, it has cut that by 26%. defend on heroine, it has cut that by 2696. how does rather pip work? it isa by 2696. how does rather pip work? it is a well evidence based therapy if people are dependent and they are getting that from street sources which is dangerous, it is safer they get that from a doctor in the form of methadone or to be prescribed heroin itself. so is that in action as you would see bit by the government, is that the reason for the rise of drug—related deaths or are there other factor, is there more person available in there are other factors available. so the availability of heroin has increased since 2012. the average age of people using it are increasing, the government has little control of that, what they do have is the amount of treatment for these people and government policies are cuts the

amount of money for that. we have talked about heroin, cocaine, cannabis, to what extent do they leave lead to deaths? cannabis rarely leads to death. that is not a driver of drug—related death. we have seen a reduction in the relatively small number from substance, but on the other hand we have seen a larger increase in the number who die from cocaine. given many who use nps may have moved to cocaine, that is concerning. and is that again, partly because there is morocco cane on the streets? as there is more heroin on the streets? there has been an increase of supply in coca which has led to an increase in supply on the streets in the uk. the figures are going up what are the figures in comparable country, are other countries doing better in terms of fighting drug misuse? ireland, which has a similar drug problem to the uk, the levels of

drug—related deaths are more stable because they have adopted more of a public health approach or are investing in public health services to prevent deaths so the uk which has one of the highest levels is falling behind, compared to ireland and portugal who have decriminalised it. your message to the government is do more on this and spend more? rethink policy an invest in services which will save money in the long run, by preventing these problems getting worse we reduce then on the nhs in the long run. thank you very much for the headlines on bbc news. more than 90 people have died in another earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok — a thousand foreign tourists the brother—in—law of midwife samantha eastwood's ex—fiance appears in court charged with her murder. cricketer ben stokes arrives in court — the 27—year—old denies a charge of affray over an alleged incident

spoken for the first time since she was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected overdose last month. in an instagram post, the 25—year—old singer said that she has always been transparent about herjourney with addiction, and that it is something she would continue to try to overcome. police have rescued 11 emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the officers found 11 others , along with five adults. two men have been arrested. us president donald trump has admitted his son met a russian lawyer injune 2016 in order "to get information on an opponent", but argues it was legal. it is the president's most direct statement so far on the reason for donald trumer‘s meeting

with the kremlin—linked lawyer natalia vesel—nitskaya. special counsel robert mueller is investigating us intelligence findings that russians conspired to sway the election in mr trump's favour. president trump denies any collusion. 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, overall murder rates are down, as georgina smyth reports. after a weekend of violence, this is what is left. the pain and grief for families almost too much to bear. scenes like this were repeated throughout chicago this weekend, with dozens of people

shot since friday night. most of it happened between saturday night and sunday morning. 30 people shot within three hours, according to local media. police say some of the shootings were targeted and linked to gangs. what i promise you is that we won't be defeated. i promise this city we won't be defeated, we won't be overrun by that small group, that small element that's committing these reckless acts. we will not, i promise you that we will not be defeated. we need more help from ourjudicial system, we need more help from ourjudicial partners, and we're getting it, but we won't be defeated in this. just last week, thousands marched against gun violence in this city, where the levels of murder have earned it the name chiraq. protesters have called for more to be done to deal with the problem and make their neighbourhoods safe. scenes like this have become all too familiar for many people living here, particularly in poorer areas. and yet speaking on sunday, police said both murders and shootings have dropped

by at least a quarter each so far this year, and that they continue to head in the right direction. but for families like these, that will be hard to believe as they struggle to deal with the aftermath of this weekend's carnage. prescription—only drugs are being sold online to potentially vulnerable patients, according to a bbc panorama investigation. the health care regulator, the care quality commission, has called for a change in the law in response to the documentary. it revealed a legal loophole allowing companies based abroad to sell medication to patients in the uk. faye kirkland, who is also a gp, has this report. with the help of volunteers, panorama went shopping for prescription only medications. eleanor was treated for anorexia as a teenager and is now completely well. she bought three months of prescription slimming pills online.

she filled out a questionnaire with a false medical history and wasn't asked questions about contacting her gp. i have so many diet pills here. if i had still been in the depths of my illness it would have been so dangerous for me. literally a massive box of them. she is not overweight and if she had seen a gp face—to—face she would not have been prescribed these drugs. i am horrified to see some of those sites you have shown me, to see that you click on the drug and then go through the consultation. this is not right. it is not safe. it has to be sorted. the site cannot be regulated by the care quality commission because prescribing doctors are contracted by a company outside england. i tracked it down in romania. it is called euro rx and the registered address is a flat in timisoara. it is 50% owned byjulian eden, who used to be a doctor

until he was struck off in 2000 for what was described as cavalier prescribing. posing as investors, panorama met him. panorama has discovered that several uk—based online doctor sites avoid the cqc inspection by using doctors contracted by romanian company. contracted by romanian companies. as a gp it makes me very angry that patients are put at risk. and as a regulator it actually makes me even more certain that we need to try to get the legislation changed so that people cannotjust bypass our regulatory activities. the department of health and social care says it is working with the cqc to improve patient safety. julian eden told panorama he has never sought to evade cqc oversight and that his shareholding in euro rx is sensible business investment. and you can watch faye kirkland's

very keen for something. he likes that. and let us try him with lettuce, food has played a massive pa rt lettuce, food has played a massive part in theirjourney, bringing them back across the world. 5,000 miles, and we have been following all the steps. for the last three decades, this has been home to hanako, a brown bear living in a museum in northern japan. her cage — so small she has only ever been able to take two steps. four days ago, that changed. first, the oldest male, abu, is sedated by vets. amu, is sedated by vets. and, despite prods from hanako, his next—door neighbour, he remains asleep, while all 350 kilograms of him is stretchered out to a truck. we started at 4am this morning. it is 9am and the bears are in the crates and being strapped into the lorry.

and here begins the 5000 milejourney. the main concern — keeping four bears cool in 43 degrees heat. it is a well—planned operation. fans ready to spray the bears, sheets of ice and buckets or watermelon. two flights later, four bears arrive at heathrow. i was sitting on the plane thinking no one knows there are four brown bears on this plane. it was quite surreal. nowjust opening the gate. and these the first tentative steps into their new home in yorkshire. they could do very little on the concrete floor. it all started two years ago when this animal welfare expert saw the bears in japan. if they could express happiness, this would be it. bears spend up to 18 hours foraging. he hasn't been able to do that. they are really powerful. for the first time he was able to use his claws and dig. well, kai is 17 and it is the first time in his entire life he has ever

been able to take a bath. getting out, well, that proved a little more problematic. this is his new, permanent home. so he has a lifetime to master it. cumber, he is the older bears in their tos are being kept a bit up there, you can't see them from here but a they there a run up there, what is interesting is they have been inside in a cage, even though they have this space, they are new to it so you can see they are new to it so you can see the bear, he has been stung by a wasp and he is nervous, a minute ago he was outside playing but he has come back in side because he isjust getting used to his surroundings but he is being fed dog biscuits, coming

over to georgina, what was it like, the conditions they were kept in in japan? are they allowed to keep bears in tiny cages for years? yes, the measures are different injapan to the uk, as a result, there can be concerning conditions and the bears we re concerning conditions and the bears were kept in conditions we were concerned with. we were grateful to the museum who recognised they were poor conditions and were keen for them to be rehomed. coming over to debbie, we have got a huge expanse here, do you think as the bears are playing and are out there, their body shape will change. yes, if you look the bears they have fairly large heads, so once the muscle tone gets well under way, we will have some lovely, large bears. and do you think, some people will say they are still in captivity, is this fair, should they not be out in the wild? they wouldn't cope out in the wild,

especially the two old one, they struggle. if you were to release a bear into the wild, naturally he would be very very nervous, they are nervous of going into the new enclosure which is bigger than what they had but to return them to the wild is not an option. is watching him eating dog biscuit, a couple of days ago we would never have come across one of those, he is finding out about grass for the first time, what is it like seeing them free like this, with space? fantastic, it so far it has gone especially, which arejust hoping that so far it has gone especially, which are just hoping that within the next few days week we can get them into the main reserve, we will see some good bear behaviour then. this morn they have tried a banana, sadly he has been sung by a wasp. if we can finish with a nice shot of him. maybe he will go outside, maybe he likes the dog biscuit. there are 33 acres, in the coming days the bears

will discover, lake, trees and a lot now it's time for a look at the weather with lucy. it is not looking too bad for the bears, we look at the satellite from earlier, you can see there has been a bit of cloud around already, we have got showery outbreaks of rain, just courtesy of a cold front there isa just courtesy of a cold front there is a good deal of dry weather and sunshine. perhaps more in the way of cloud lingering for the west and the far north of england. southern scotla nd far north of england. southern scotland and northern ireland. there is cloud with showery outbreaks of rain. brightening up for the north of scotland, temperatures in the south—east reaching a maximum of 32, feeling very hot the fur south and east you can go. cloudier skies in wales, still fairly warm in the south and east. tomorrow we start

it carry or is it tom? those horrible words are you the father of them? as soon as he said that i knew it was something really, really bad. we had to then try and break the news to his brothers who were clearly then distraught. trying to comfort them, but at the same time the policemen are saying i had to contact kerry. i had had a missed call so i rang straight back. it's one of those things you never forget. john said to me, there's beena forget. john said to me, there's been a terrible accident, it's tom, and he didn't make it. i couldn't believe it. i couldn't believe it. i still to this day don't believe it. i still think it's a bad nightmare and tom's going to come home. you can't believe you've got to make that call. and of course, the other

thing is, for me, i was helpless. i could hear kerry on the other end of the phone and you could imagine how awful it was. 1300 miles away from their son, they were desperate for a nswe rs. their son, they were desperate for answers. they assumed this is where the british authorities would step in and help. we had no idea how, was it an the beach, a boat trip, had he banged his head, was it a heart attack? we had no information. the police officers who came were absolutely fantastic. they were kind, caring, considerate. but u nfortu nately kind, caring, considerate. but unfortunately when they had to go and it was only then do we discovered to our horror that there was no support. there was no support 0fficer, no liaison officer, there was no one who then followed up after they left. john and kerry eventually got through to the consulate but say they were made to wait for hours for support or information. they eventually found

about your experience. we were in our hostel when it hit, there were a lot of us there. at first it was small shakes and then the power cut out and somebody actually shouted "earthquake" out and somebody actually shouted " ea rthquake" and the out and somebody actually shouted "earthquake" and the sheiks got really, really big. people were shouting and screaming and hiding under the tables in the courtyard. it was only about ten or 15 seconds but it was really strong and quite ha rd to but it was really strong and quite hard to stand up throughout it. and then afterwards our hostel kept us quite calm but we didn't really realise how bad it was because our hostel was relatively 0k, until we left the hostel and went into the street and saw the rubble in the street, the walls had collapsed into the street. that was when we realised how bad it was. there was a

soon army warning as well, wasn't there? and there was the dreadful tsunami in indonesia back in 20011. what did you do when you heard the tsunami warning? our hostel took us toa tsunami warning? our hostel took us to a big field in case of after—shocks. as soon as we heard about the warning the panic set in. they moved us up to a big hill and that's when people started to panic. people were running and screaming and that was the scariest part of the whole night. i think that past experience was an people's minds. we went to the highest part of the island and there were thousands and thousands of people there, a lot of locals were obviously distraught because their houses were a lot worse than most of the hostels. how worried where you? you felt those

after—shocks, you heard the tsunami warning... the after-shocks were scariest on the hill. there were so many people around and people were making a lot of noise but it made it a lot more dramatic than it first was. we were still in such shock that by the time it set in and it was 3am, it was getting very scary. especially with the tsunami warning. luckily when that was lifted things got calmer. you're on your gap year, you are there, you still on the gili islands or are you leaving? we were planning on leaving this morning, we had a boat booked but that didn't become a reality. in the end there we re become a reality. in the end there were thousands of people trying to leave and we felt safer staying here rather than getting a boat to lombok and then hoping to get a boat to bali. a lot of people we spoken to

have got stuck on lombok which we wouldn't want to do. we've stayed here and hopefully will be able to get back to bali tomorrow morning. thank you, take care and stay safe. 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 downstream. emergency workers used ropes and harnesses to rescue the stranded occupants. there were no reports of injuries. plans to build homes on land soon to be released from the green belt will not help young families get on to the property ladder, according to the campaign to protect rural england. it says 78% of planned developments on greenfield sites do not fall under the government's "affordable" definition. ministers say green belt protections are being strengthened. tim muffett reports. the first green belts

were designated in the 1950s to stop towns and cities sprawling indefinitely. but it's claimed today that much of this protected land faces a bigger threat than ever. the campaign to protect rural england has been analysing planning applications. we're seeing an unprecedented level of housing planned for the green belt, we're seeing plans for 460,000 homes to be built in the next few years. we're absolutely for the right housing in the right place, but we don't think green belt is the right place. today's report claims that over 70% of housing built on green belt land is unaffordable to those on average incomes. it calls for housing to be built on previously used land, or brownfield sites, instead. but with the government aiming to build 300,000 homes a year by the mid—2020s, some believe the greenbelts can't be avoided. the institute of economic affairs is a think tank that promotes free—market views. we've seen the green belt basically double in size

over the last 110 years. if we are not willing to look at some of it that is fit for development then we'll have a permanent housing crisis in britain, not a short to medium—term one. the government says the number of new homes built last year was the in a decade and only 0.02% of green belt land was developed for housing. it says councils should only give planning permission in exceptional circumstances. tim muffet, bbc news. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news. more than 90 people have died in another earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok — 1,000 tourists are being evacuated from the nearby gili islands. the brother—in—law of midwife samantha eastwood's former fiance appears in court charged with her murder. cricketer ben stokes arrives in court — the 27—year—old denies a charge of affray over an alleged incident in bristol last year. i'm ben bland in the business news.

house of fraser will go ahead with a plan to close 31 out of its 59 stores — after it settled a legal row with a group of landlords. the dispute had threatened a potential rescue deal for the chain. the landlords had argued slashing rents on remaining stores was unfair to them. but even with a deal now reached — house of fraser says it still urgently needs fresh investment to survive. hsbc, europe's biggest bank, made a pre—tax profit of $10.7 billion in the first half of this year. that's a a.6% increase compared with the first half of last year. it did particularly well in asia — despite growing trade tensions between china and the us. the bank's share price is down though — we'll find out why in a moment. sales of new cars were up last month. they rose 1.2%, with almost 164,000 new cars registered injuly. sales of petrol and

hybrid cars increased. the industry will be glad to see that — but if you look at the year so far, sales are still down more than 5%. and sales of diesel cars plummeted by almost a quarter injuly. let's get more on hsbc now. hsbc ‘cautiously optimistic‘ about growth despite trade tensions the results show more of what is happening under the new chief executive who started in the role in february. mr flint said he would continue his so—called pivot to asia

strategy to further expand in hong kong and southern china. he also promised to invest at least $15 billion and that's about £11.5 billion and that's about £11.5 billion in growth and technology with the aim of breaking nearly a decade of declining revenue for the bank. hsbc has implemented some strict cost—cutting measures in the past that have seen 87,000 jobs go from the company in recent years. joining us now is richard stone, chief executive of the share centre, an independent stockbroker. does this mean that the bank's strategy of focusing on asia is working? certainly the bank has delivered results which show headline profit up nearly 5% and some revenue growth after some years of decline. but when you drill down, the underlying revenues are only up 296 the underlying revenues are only up 2% and costs up 7%. i think investors are looking to see that

pivot to asia start to deliver revenue growth in excess of cost and really start to see profits come through from that. you sort of took us on through from that. you sort of took us on to my next area of discussion, because anyone watching this at home may think profits of £10.7 billion and the share price is down. what do the investors want? the profits were largely in line with expectations, so the market was expecting these sorts of numbers. they were better than the first quarter, showing good growth on the previous year at a headline level. really what investors are looking for is what john flint referred to as positive draws which means revenue growing faster than cost. at the moment the bank is in delivering that, but it's still early days in terms of their strategy and the pivot to asia. can

i get your take on the bigger picture as well? we've had quite a few big banks reporting results, how does hsbc compare? they are good. last week we had lloyds, rbs and ba rclays are last week we had lloyds, rbs and barclays are reporting their results. we saw rbs return it to the point where it was going to pay a dividend and the sector as a whole is putting the challenges of the financial crisis behind it. there is news of a settlement with the department ofjustice in the state regarding a mortgage—backed securities issue dating back to 2010, a cost of $800 million nearly. more signs of putting those challengers behind and looking forward. the increasing interest rate environment will help banks expand their margins as well. all of the banks, more or less most of them, have had to take someone of hits to settle legal disputes. it seems for the most part investors

and analysts are looking beyond that and analysts are looking beyond that and seeing the underlying growth thatis and seeing the underlying growth that is picking up after some trouble spots. yes, most of those challengers now, there are deadlines around payment protection insurance claims, settlements have been reached with the regulators in the us in particular in many cases. the banks can start to put a lot of those provisions behind them and start to look forward and start to deliver increased profits and paying dividends and those sorts of things. thanks very much. we talk quite often about the struggling high street — and house of fraser is one of the big names that's fighting for survival. part of its plan to cut costs by closing stores ran into difficulties when landlords raised legal objections. the department store chain has now settled that dispute — and can go ahead with the closure of 31 of its 59 stores injanuary. but it's not out of the woods yet — it is still urgently hunting for an injection of investment in order to survive. earlier we spoke to laith khalaf —

senior analyst at hargreaves lansdown. it's a step in the right direction but i think we all know there's a long journey ahead. this clears the legal hurdle. it means any potential rescue deal is more attractive for a rescuer but we still need to flush out somebody to stump up the cash and help house of fraser get through the difficult position it in at the moment. there's a copper people in the frame at the but house of fraser still need that cash —— a couple of people. the uk's top share index was steady as gains in energy stocks on higher oil prices were offset by weaker mining stocks, while hsbc fell after its earnings update failed to impress. miners were also a weak spot as copper prices fell.

heavyweight oil companies bp and royal dutch shell rose as crude prices rose after saudi oil production registered a surprising dip injuly. shares in iwg, which owns serviced office group regus, tumbled after it announced that it had called off takeover talks with a number of private equity firms and said its interim pre—tax profits fell by 33%. that's all the business news. a new bollywood film called gold explores india s first win at the olympics after gaining independence. incidentally it was at the london olympics of 19118 where they beat great britain in the hockey final. the film was shot largely across yorkshire and stars the bollywood superstar akshay kumar. haroon rashid has been speaking to him. india beat great britain, the country who ruled over them for nearly 200 years, at the olympics in 19118 to claim

a gold medal in hockey. it was just a year after they gained independence and became a free nation. not many people knew the story, including bollywood superstar akshay kumar who stars in a film based on real events. this was a very inspirational story which i heard. how we all got together, and because of the unity of all the sports, it got the whole nation united. and it became a dream in 19118 as a free india to win something, or win a gold, and that was a big thing when we played against england. many parts of gold were actually shot here in the uk, particularly in yorkshire. what was it about that area in particular that enhanced your film? well, we wanted it to look like 19118, and we got this stadium also which looked like that. and obviously there are effects and cg and things.

plus, a lot of areas were still untouched and it was looking like that era. what is it that draws you to these scripts? it's not fun to just read in a book. it is so much fun to watch it visually, to bring the whole thing alive. in gold i'm playing this bengali drunk guy. so, they enjoy the vision of it, they enjoy if there's a song, they enjoyed to watch it. so that is what inspires me to do these kind of films. gold explores the relationship between britain and india during colonial rule. there have been other films about the freedom struggle, the fight for independence. what makes gold unique? well, it's not about india british only, it is about india german also. it is about india netherlands also, india pakistan also. there are many, many aspects which are not known to people, not known what was the true fact, what was happening at that time. akshay, what are your personal views on that time in history

and when britain ruled over india? i would say... they... they gave us a lot and they took a lot, so that's all i can say. gold is the latest in a string of films starring akshay kumar aimed at evoking patriotism amongst indians living globally. let's have a look at the weather. the last of the heat in the south—east as we move through the next couple of days. we've got a good deal of sunshine around today for much of england and wales. this photo sent in by a weather watcher earlier in lincolnshire. through the week it's going to turn fresher with temperatures dropping down to about average. some showers in the

rain. clearer skies further south and east but still quite warm. temperatures in the mid to high teens. behind it feeling fresher for the far north—west of scotland with one or two showers. tomorrow we start off with the cold front sitting across southern scotland, the far north of england, wales and the far north of england, wales and the south—west. gradually moving north and east but it will fizzle out with sunny spells developing. into the afternoon feeling hot in the south—east again. a bit fresher for northern ireland and the north west of scotland with some bright intervals and one or two showers. late into the afternoon and evening, the potential for heavy and thundery showers feeding into the south—east. we're also going see that warmer air pushing out. you can see the yellow and blue starting to take control of the map. as we move into wednesday we are looking at a fresher day. a good deal of dry weather with plenty of sunny spells. a chance for a view showers, some of which quite heavy, gradually drifting eastwards. in the

south—east we are looking at highs of 2a, south—east we are looking at highs of 26, down from 32 on tuesday, and in the north for northern ireland and scotland temperatures in the high teens. this is bbc news, i'm ben brown. these are the top stories developing at midday. more than 90 people have died in another earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok — a thousand foreign tourists are being evacuated from the nearby gili islands. most victims were killed by collapsed buildings. 0ut most victims were killed by collapsed buildings. out of 91 dead all are indonesian, up to this point we have yet to receive the brother—in—law of midwife samantha eastwood's former fiance appears in court charged with her murder. cricketer ben stokes arrives in court — the 27—year—old denies a charge of affray over an alleged incident in bristol last year. the number of people dying

91 people are now known to have died and hundreds more injured in the second earthquake to hit the region in a week. the magnitude seven quake was also felt in the neighbouring island of bali, where two people were killed. lebo diseko reports. running for their lives as the earthquake struck, people at this hotel in lombok dashed to safety. 0thers simply called on god as they felt the power of mother nature. traumatised survivors faced a night outside, the buildings too unsafe after two after—shocks. at this hospital near the epicentre, patients had to be moved outside. many of the injured from across the region were transferred to nearby bali, which also felt the quake. doctors and nurses desperately tried to save lives in conditions that were farfrom ideal. translation: we will place patients

here in the parking lot and also in the hallway of the hospital. we will build emergency tents so our medical teams can concentrate on handling patients. as rescuers search for people amongst what's left of the buildings, hope as a survivor is found. unable to walk but alive. it's just a week since another quake hit in a region that is prone to them. there are no guarantees when the next one might be safe for these people to return to their homes. lebo diseko, bbc news. a man has appeared in court, charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood. ms eastwood's body was discovered when police searched rural ground near caverswall, staffordshire, on saturday, eight days after she was last seen. michael stirling, who's 32 and from stoke—on—trent, is the brother—in—law of herformerfiance. our correspondent caroline davies is at north staffordshire magistrates'

and businesses in the monchique area of the algarve. more than 900 firefighters and soldiers , along with 12 aircraft, have been fighting the flames for more than three days. meanwhile, president trump has declared a major emergency in california — as wildfires there continue to 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 have been evacuated. our north america correspondent, chris buckler reports. for more than a week, parts of california have been in a state of emergency. 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. we've displaced nearly 40,000 plus people, there has been about 1300 plus homes that have been destroyed, but on the good part, we've repopulated many areas and got people back in to their homes, as quickly as possible. 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. 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 14,000 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. jeremy corbyn is coming under further pressure for the labour party to adopt the international definition

of anti—semitism, as called for by the deputy party leader tom watson. the former cabinet minister yvette cooper backed mr watson saying the party was in an "awful situation" and needed to address the issue. at the weekend, mr corbyn tried to defuse the row by releasing a video insisting he was working to drive out anti—semitism from the party. joining me now is our political correspondent susana mendonca. this row has been rumbling for weeks and all over the weekend as well. yes it is one that isn't going away for yes it is one that isn't going away foer yes it is one that isn't going away for mr corbyn, he came out over the weekend, he had an article on friday and this video where he talks about the need for the party to deal with disciplinary cases quickly and apologises for the pain that has been caused tojewish communities, but the response from jewish communities has knots been what

jeremy corbyn would have wanted. they have seen this as lacklustre and then we have had this article from tom watson t deputy leader where he is saying that labour, is risking falling into what he describes as a vortex of shame over this whole issue. as a result of that article tom watson has been trolled op twitter. plenty of people having a go at him, saying he is not being loyal to the leader and tom watson said he never thought he would be asked to resign, which is what people are saying on twitter over an issue where he is trying to defend people who are facing prejudice and hate. now, he is not the only labour mp who has been trolled on twitterment we heard from emily benn. she is the caughtish of the granddaughter rather of the late tony benn, who is a key left—wing figure, many of core bishop's

supporters view as a hero. she has spoken out againstjeremy corbyn and that he have been say things like her grandfather would turn in his grave. she said it is basically giving a sense of the way the party has changed. the kind of level of online abuse now you get when you speak out about any issue in the labour party, and i faced some quite personal stuff the last few days, shows how intolerant our politics has become, especially in the labour party, and it's not the party ijoined 14 years ago. now i have spoken to the labour party, this afternoon and asked them about this online abuse we have seen directed at various mps and they have said if there are any specific complaints made to them, they would look thank you england cricketer ben stokes has arrived at court today where he will be on trial

accused of affray. the 27—year—old all—rounder and two other men are jointly charged with the offence after an alleged incident in the clifton area of bristol last september — hours after england had played a one—day international against the west indies. stokes and the other men — ryan ali and ryan hale — all deny the charges. the cost of rural crime soared to £45 million last year — the highest level since 2013. farmers are resorting to practical methods like building trenches to protect their properties against a growing wave of vehicle and livestock theft by organised gangs. ian wight reports. it's an idea that comes from medieval times — moving mounds of earth to create trenches, ditches, and barriers, to stop criminals getting onto farmland. this scheme in gloucestershire is encouraged by the police and is provided free of charge by local companies. this year we are seeing people bringing things like earth banks — they're sort of medieval fortifications, last used 1,000 years ago — they are putting up stockade—like fences around theirfarms, and using these in conjunction with technology like cctv. yorkshire sheep farmer david airey

knows too well what it is like to be targeted by criminals. yorkshire sheep farmer david airey knows too well what it is like to be targeted by criminals. in the last 18 months it has got beyond a joke. we were being visited at least once a fortnight. i would put it down to two different groups: one group were pinching tools and small items, but our biggest problem is our quad bikes. with equipment costing hundreds of thousands of pounds being kept in remote, isolated areas, sophisticated, sometimes dangerous gangs of criminals know exactly what they are looking for. we know organised crime gangs are working notjust in europe but across the world. that will be paying for other things. for large quantities of drugs to come back in, for debts to be paid off, forfirearms smuggling. the government says police funding will increase by over £460 million this year.

every chief constable in england has now signed up to a national plan to tackle rural crime. but the police say farmers, too, must do more to keep their properties safe. ian wight, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... more than 90 people have died in another earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok — a thousand tourists are being evacuated from the nearby gili islands. the brother—in—law of midwife samantha eastwood's former fiance appears in court charged with her murder. cricketer ben stokes arrives in court — the 27—year—old denies a charge of affray over an alleged incident in bristol last year. and the sport. it is hugh. good morning. ben, england's georgia hall becomes the fifth british player to

know it was even going to be happening, so some are wondering if there will be legal ramification for there will be legal ramification for the president now he acknowledges that this meeting did take place, with a russian attorney, he was not there but the fact that it was a meeting in trump tower and this this russian attorney came forward and said they had dirt on hillary clinton. the present attorney says no, that the president is not in violation of any laws, it could be a different outcome for those who did attend the meeting, including donald trump attend the meeting, including donald trumer, and then campaign chairman paul manafort. manafort is back in federal court today for his trial on bank and tax fraud. it is the first trial to stem from mueller‘s investigation. that investigation donald trump has called a witch hunt of course, he has been tweeting again, in his defence, the

president. oh, yes, he says it's a witch hunt, he does not believe that there is any violation of us law, that he could possibly be charged for, so, a lot of democratic law makers are saying you know, the president should be separating the, investigation into whether there was interference in the 2016 presidential election, and, to separate that from the, from any other sort of investigation into russian politics as far as how they we re russian politics as far as how they were interfering, so, it's definitely something we are going to be learning a lot more about once maybe the president is questioned by mueller possibly to find out how much he did know about this meeting. thank you 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, after a weekend of violence, this is what is left. the pain and grief for families almost too much to bear. scenes like this were repeated throughout chicago this weekend, with dozens of people shot since friday night. most of it happened between saturday night and sunday morning. 30 people shot within three hours, according to local media. police say some of the shootings were targeted and linked to gangs. what i promise you is that we won't be defeated. i promise this city we won't be defeated, we won't be overrun by that small group, that small element that's committing these reckless acts. we will not, i promise

you that we will not be defeated. we need more help from ourjudicial system, we need more help from ourjudicial partners, and we're getting it, but we won't be defeated in this. just last week, thousands marched against gun violence in this city, where the levels of murder have earned it the name chiraq. protesters have called for more to be done to deal with the problem and make their neighbourhoods safe. scenes like this have become all too familiar for many people living here, particularly in poorer areas. and yet speaking on sunday, police said both murders and shootings have dropped by at least a quarter each so far this year, and that they continue to head in the right direction. but for families like these, that will be hard to believe as they struggle to deal with the aftermath of this weekend's carnage. lebo diseko, bbc news. plans to build homes on land soon to be released from the green belt will not help young families get

on to the property ladder, according to the campaign to protect rural england. it says 78% of planned developments on greenfield sites do not fall under the government's "affordable" definition. ministers say green belt protections are being strengthened. tim muffett reports. the first green belts were designated in the 1950s to stop towns and cities sprawling indefinitely. but it's claimed today that much of this protected land faces a bigger threat than ever. the campaign to protect rural england has been analysing planning applications. we're seeing an unprecedented level of housing planned for the green belt, we're seeing plans for 460,000 homes to be built in the next few years. we're absolutely for the right housing in the right place, but we don't think green belt is the right place. today's report claims that over 70% of housing built on green belt land is unaffordable to those on average incomes. it calls for housing to be built on previously used land, or brownfield sites, instead.

but with the government aiming to build 300,000 homes a year by the mid—2020s, some believe the greenbelts can't be avoided. the institute of economic affairs is a think tank that promotes free—market views. we've seen the green belt basically double in size over the last 40 years. if we are not willing to look at some of it that is fit for development then we'll have a permanent housing crisis in britain, not a short to medium—term one. the government says the number of new homes built last year was the in a decade and only 0.02% of green belt land was developed for housing. it says councils should only give planning permission in exceptional circumstances. tim muffet, bbc news. drug deaths following misuse of fentanyl have risen by almost a third in england and wales according to the latest figures from the office for national statistics. the figures show there were 75 deaths from fentanyl — a synthetic opioid used to treat cancer patients — in 2017 — up from 58 in 2016.

at the same time, deaths from synthetic drugs designed to mimic cannabis or other so—called party drugs halved last year. ben humberstone, head of health analysis and life events joins us on the line from tichfield. thank you for being with us, so talk us thank you for being with us, so talk us through the figure, that is quite alarming, the figures on fentanyl in particular. yes, that is right. what we have published today, shows that death from drugs has remained more or less stable since about 2015, but within that, there are some patterns that are significant, so, for example, deaths from cocaine use have risen to about 430 deaths last

year, that has tripled since 2000 lend and the national crime agency have reported that cocaine purity, crack and powder is as hoog as it has ever been and that has been rising for the last five year, the deaths from opiates generally, including heroin, have remained more or less stable. although as you say, we have seen the deaths from fe nta nyl we have seen the deaths from fenta nyl have we have seen the deaths from fentanyl have tripled between 2016 and 2017, and public health england haveissued and 2017, and public health england have issued a warning to drug users and health service providers around contaminated heroin, particularly in the use offence nil, which is both potent and relatively cheap. so there is good news and bad news in there is good news and bad news in the figures, or at least relatively good news in the fact that deaths from some drugs are kind of stable, in terms of the number, but going up

in terms of the number, but going up in terms of the number, but going up in terms of cocaine and fentanyl? yes, and as you mentioned, the deaths from what we refer to, the group of drugs we refer to as new psycho active substances formally known as legal highs has reduced significantly in the last year, so it has halved, and that coincides with the blanket ban that the government have put in place. but overall, it appears that there is more drug misuse in this country, there is more drugs on the streets of this country. we need to draw the distinction between drug use and what we have published today, which is deaths from drugs and the patterns are similar but not quite the same. for example the predominantly, deaths from drug misuse in those ages between 40 and 49 whereas the increase in drug use we are seeing as reported by the

crime survey for england and wales are in younger age groups. all right. thank you very a 10—meter—long creature that was found dead on a beach near tokyo has been identified as a baby blue whale. an expert from the national museum of nature and science who examined the whale on monday said it showed signs of being a male. the blue whale — the largest animal on earth — was spotted yesterday afternoon having apparently died at sea. now it's time for a look at the weather. . good afternoon. for many parts of the east and south—east of england we are starting the week on the sort of note we have been used to. hot sunshine but change is already afoot. there is cloudier, cooler weather further north and west and

that will be the theme for all of us. a mixture of sunshine and showers. hot sunshine, giving way to clear skies as we move through the late afternoon into the evening across southern and eastern area, this cloud bringing rain in southern scotland, northern england down into wales, we will see a few showers coming along and clear spells. cool into the north—west. another warm night to the south—east. this wriggling line of cloud tomorrow, this is a weather front not making much progress, sunshine and showers up much progress, sunshine and showers up to the north—west, and a significantly cooler feel, temperatures in the high teens at best. down the south—east is another hot day. 31, 32 degrees with sunshine. we still have a slightly cooler feel for all of us the, and then the weekend is at this stage looking quite this is bbc news. our latest headlines. more than 90 people have been killed and hundreds injured in a powerful earthquake that hit lombok yesterday. british holiday—makers have been

caught up in the chaos after the magnitude 7.0 quake wreaked destruction on the holiday island. a man has appeared in court charged with the murder of midwife samantha eastwood. michael stirling is the brother in—law of ms eastwood's former fiance. her body was found by police officers on saturday, eight days after she was reported missing. the number of people dying in england and wales due to the synthetic opioid fentanyl rose by almost a third in england and wales last year. at the same time deaths in england and wales from synthetic drugs designed to mimic cannabis halved. the england cricketer ben stokes has arrived at bristol crown court where he is due stand trial for affray. the durham all—rounder and two other men, 28—year—old ryan ali and ryan hale, who's 27, deny the charge. more now on the earthquake that struck the indonesian island

of lombok yesterday — its left more than 90 people dead, and hundreds more injured. officials there say 10,000 people have been evacuated on lombok and rescue boats have been sent to evacuate more than 1,000 tourists from the nearby gili islands where the quake was also felt. earlier i spoke to saffron amis — who was staying in a hostel when the earthquake hit. we were in our hostel when it hit, there were a lot of us there. at first it was small shakes and then the power cut out and somebody actually shouted "earthquake" and the shakes got really, really big. people were shouting and screaming and hiding under the tables in the courtyard.

it was only about ten or 15 seconds but it was really strong and quite hard to stand up throughout it. and then afterwards our hostel kept us quite calm but we didn't really realise how bad it was because our hostel was relatively ok, until we left the hostel and went into the street and saw the rubble in the street, the walls had collapsed into the street. that was when we realised how bad it was. there was a tsunami warning as well, wasn't there? and there was the dreadful tsunami in indonesia back in 2004. what did you do when you heard the tsunami warning? our hostel took us to a big field in case of after—shocks. as soon as we heard about the warning the panic set in. they moved us up to a big hill and that's when people started to panic. people were running and screaming and that was the scariest part of the whole night.

i think that past experience was an people's minds. we went to the highest part of the island and there were thousands and thousands of people there, a lot of locals were obviously distraught because their houses were a lot worse than most of the hostels. how worried where you? you felt those after—shocks, you heard the tsunami warning... the after—shocks were scariest on the hill. there were so many people around and people were making a lot of noise but it made it a lot more dramatic than it first was. we were still in such shock that by the time it set in and it was 3am, it was getting very scary. especially with the tsunami warning. luckily when that was lifted things got calmer. you're on your gap year, you are there,

are you still on the gili islands or are you leaving? we were planning on leaving this morning, we had a boat booked but that didn't become a reality. in the end there were thousands of people trying to leave and we felt safer staying here rather than getting a boat to lombok and then hoping to get a boat to bali. a lot of people we spoken to have got stuck on lombok which we wouldn't want to do. we've stayed here and hopefully will be able to get back to bali tomorrow morning. thank you, take care and stay safe. police have rescued 11 emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing toddler raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there but the officers found 11 others,

along with five adults. two men have been arrested. the chief executive of british airways has complained that two—hour queues are becoming the norm for many passengers arriving at heathrow airport. in a letter to the times newspaper, alex cruz called on the government to take action to address this "border farce", with queues at heathrow being "significantly worse" than elsewhere in the continent. he said: "two—hour queues are fast becoming the norm for those visiting from outside the european economic area" he called the queues "unacceptable", and asked: "what kind of message does this send, as we try to build links outside the eu?" with us now is our business correspondent, theo leggett. british airways are pretty angry about this, who is to blame? british airways are the main users of heathrow. they aren't blaming the airport, this is a border control problem. the issue at the moment as

at his peak time, large volumes are coming through heathrow. the number of passengers heathrow is dealing with is going up and up year by year. the aviation industry is expanding, heathrow is expanding so the pressure is getting greater. at the pressure is getting greater. at the same time, border forces had the pressure is getting greater. at the same time, borderforces had its budget cut. even with improvements in technology there is the possibility there are fewer border staff dealing with higher numbers of passengers. during the period of peak demand in the summer months, delays are going up. depending on which terminal it's between 25 and 50% of the time passengers are facing excessive delays. what other government saying about border force ? government saying about border force? it's a question of staffing levels, effectively. the government says it is responding and has deployed an extra 200 people at heathrow but says it won't

compromise on essential border checks that are needed to guarantee safety. over the past few years border checks have been made more rigorous, they take slightly longer and when you're dealing with the volume of passengers that come through heathrow, if every passenger is delayed slightly the backlog can grow. thank you. prescription—only drugs are being sold online to potentially vulnerable patients, according to a bbc panorama investigation. the health care regulator, the care quality commission, has called for a change in the law in response to the documentary. it revealed a legal loophole allowing companies based abroad to sell medication to patients in the uk. faye kirkland, who is also a gp, has this report. with the help of volunteers, panorama went shopping for prescription only medications. eleanor was treated for anorexia as a teenager and is now completely well. she bought three months of prescription slimming pills online. she filled out a questionnaire with a false medical history and wasn't asked questions

about contacting her gp. i have so many diet pills here. if i had still been in the depths of my illness it would have been so dangerous for me. literally a massive box of them. she is not overweight and if she had seen a gp face—to—face she would not have been prescribed these drugs. i am horrified to see some of those sites you have shown me, to see that you click on the drug and then go through the consultation. this is not right. it is not safe. it has to be sorted. the site cannot be regulated by the care quality commission because prescribing doctors are contracted by a company outside england. i tracked it down in romania. it is called euro rx and the registered address is a flat in timisoara. it is 50% owned byjulian eden, who used to be a doctor until he was struck off in 2000 for what was described as cavalier prescribing.

posing as investors, panorama met him. panorama has discovered that several uk—based online doctor sites avoid the coc inspection by using doctors contracted by romanian company. as a gp it makes me very angry that patients are put at risk. and as a regulator it actually makes me even more certain that we need to try to get the legislation changed so that people cannotjust bypass our regulatory activities. the department of health and social care says it is working with the coc to improve patient safety. julian eden told panorama he has never sought to evade cqc oversight and that his shareholding in euro rx is sensible business investment. and you can watch faye kirkland's

full investigation in panorama "online doctors uncovered" on bbc one tonight at 8.30 — in wales you can watch it at 10.40. the family of the third young person from britain to die at an apartment block in magaluf have told the victory derbyshire programme they were shocked by the lack of support they received from the uk authorities after he died. 18—year—old tom channon's body was found at the eden roc apartments last month. it is believed he fell over a knee—high wall and plunged 70 feet to the ground — five weeks after a 20—year—old died in similar circumstances. his parents have been talking to our reporter, anna collinson. there was a thud, a real thud hit the door, and i went out and there were two policemen there. i just felt something was wrong, you don't get policemen coming to your door if not.

i looked at them and i said, "is it kerry or is it tom?" those horrible words, "are you the father of tom?" as soon as he said that i knew it was something really, really bad. we had to then try and break the news to his brothers, who were clearly then distraught. trying to comfort them, but at the same time the policemen were saying i had to contact kerry. i had had a missed call so i rang straight back. it's one of those things you never forget. john said to me, "there's been a terrible accident, it's tom, and he didn't make it." i couldn't believe it, i couldn't believe it. i still to this day don't believe it. i still think it's a bad nightmare, and tom's going to come home. you can't believe you've got to make that call.

and, of course, the other thing is, for me, i was helpless. i could hear kerry on the other end of the phone, and you could imagine how awful it was. 1,300 miles away from their son, the channons were desperate for answers. they assumed this is where the british authorities would step in and help. we had no idea how. was it on the beach, a boat trip, had he banged his head, was it a heart attack? we had no information. the police officers who came were absolutely fantastic. they were kind, caring, considerate. but unfortunately when they had to go it was only then we discovered to our horror that there was no support. there was no support officer, no liaison officer, there was no one who then followed up after they left. john and kerry eventually got through to the majorca consulate, but say they were made to wait for hours for support or information.

they eventually found out the truth from tom's friends. i think people watching would be shocked that that is how you were treated. we were shocked. it was unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable. at the most important time in your lives there wasn't somebody there to say this is who you need to contact, and this is who will be guiding you through the process. north korea has called on the united states to drop its sanctions, saying pyongyang has made a number of goodwill gestures following thejune summit between its leader kim jong—un and president trump. those gestures include the handing over of the remains of us troops killed in the korean war, and the dismantling of a nuclear test site. north korean state media says the us demand for total denuclearisation before sanctions can be eased is outrageous. laura bicker reports from seoul. the state—run newspaper in north

korea describes washington's tactics as dirty and disgraceful. they seem angry the united states wants to continue its sanctions process. this is the maximum pressure policy to try to get north korea to give up its nuclear weapons. they say this pyongyang editorial seems to be saying they are doing all the work in north korea and getting nothing in return. they point to several things. they say they have given back the us prisoners, they say they've given back the remains of us prisoners of war killed during the korean war. and they say they have destroyed a nuclear test site and are in the process of dismantling a site in the north—west of the country. they believe they are doing

all the work and in return the us is giving nothing back. the us is saying hang on, we want these sanctions kept in place so that denuclearisation can happen. they believe this is the way to push the north koreans into giving up its weapons. that is something the north koreans described in this editorial is an outrageous claim. the world's most—starred michelin chef, joel robuchon, has died at 73, a french government spokesman said monday. robuchon founded a string of restaurants that revolutionised fine dining and which between them have 31 michelin stars. the headlines on bbc news. more than 90 people have died in another earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok — 1,000 tourists are being evacuated

from the nearby gili islands. the brother—in—law of midwife samantha eastwood's former fiance appears in court charged with her murder. cricketer ben stokes arrives in court — the 27—year—old denies a charge of affray over an alleged incident in bristol last year a wildlife park in south yorkshire has become home to four rare brown bears, after a remarkable rescue mission. the animals had spent years in small cages in a museum injapan but now they're able to explore their new, more spacious surroundings. a little earlier the bbc‘s fiona lamdin went to the park and paid a visit to one of the bears, named riku. it's amazing to think that for the first 17 years of his life he's been living on concrete. now he's got straw, a branch. let's see how he feels about cucumber. he's very keen for something. he likes the cucumber. let's try him with

lettuce. food has played a massive pa rt lettuce. food has played a massive part in the journey bringing them back across the world. over 5000 miles, and we've been following all the steps. for the last three decades, this has been home to a brown bear living in a museum in northern japan. her cage so small she's only ever been able to take two steps. four days ago that changed. first, the oldest male is sedated by vets. despite protests from hana ko sedated by vets. despite protests from hanako his next—door neighbour, he remains asleep while all 350 kilos of him is stretchered out to a truck. we started out at 4am this morning. it's now 9am and all forebears are in the crate and being strapped into lorry. here begins their 5000 milejourney. the main

concern, keeping four bears cool in 43 degrees heat. it's a well—planned operation. fans at the ready to spray the bears, sheets of ice and buckets of water melon. two flights later, four bears arrive at heathrow. i was sitting on the plane thinking no one on this flight knows there are four brown bears sitting underneath us. it was quite surreal. these, the very first tentative steps into their new home in yorkshire. they could do very little, it was a concrete floor. it all little, it was a concrete floor. it a ll started little, it was a concrete floor. it all started two years ago when this animal welfare experts saw the bears injapan. animal welfare experts saw the bears in japan. if a bear can express happiness, that would be yet. they can spend up to 18 hours a day foraging, so he's never been able to do that. they have really powerful front claws and for the first time now he was able to use those claws

and dig. despair is 17 and this is the first time his entire life he's ever been able to take a bath. getting out proved more problematic! but this is his new permanent home so he's got a lifetime to master it. well, these are the 17—year—old bears. the older bears, the ones in their 20s, are being kept a bit up there. they've got a run just up there. they've got a run just up there. what's interesting is these birds have been inside in a cage all their life. even though they've got all this space, they are so new to this. you can see the bear has just been stung by a wasp and he's a bit nervous. he's come back inside into his run because he'sjust getting used to his surroundings. he is being fed dog this —— dog biscuits.

what was it like, the conditions they were kept in injapan? are they allowed to keep bears in tiny cages? protection measures injapan are very different from in the uk. as a result there can be summed concerning conditions and these birds were kept in conditions we we re birds were kept in conditions we were concerned with. we were grateful to the museum who had them who recognised they were kept in poor conditions and working for them to be re—homed. poor conditions and working for them to be re-homed. debbie, we've got a huge expanse, do you think is the bears are playing their body shape will change? definitely. they've got fairly large heads compared to their bodies, so once the muscle tone gets well under way and starts developing i think they will be some lovely large bears. some people will say should they not be out in the wild? these bears wouldn't cope in the wild, they would really struggle. as you can see, if you were to release

a bear into the wild, naturally he would be very, very nervous. they are nervousjust going into their new enclosure which is a lot bigger than they had, but to return them to the wild is an option. a couple of days ago he would never have come across a dog biscuit. he's finding out about grass. what is it like seeing them free? with space? it's fantastic. so far it's gone superbly. we're hoping that within the next few days we can get them into the main reserve. i think we will see some good bear behaviour. this morning while we've been on air they've tried a banana. sadly he's been stung by a wasp. maybe he will go outside, maybe he'sjust been stung by a wasp. maybe he will go outside, maybe he's just too happy eating dog biscuits. there are three acres the other side of this fence and in the coming days these bears will be discovering lakes, trees and more grass. a new bollywood film called

gold explores india s first win at the olympics after gaining independence. incidentally it was at the london olympics of 1948 where they beat great britain in the hockey final. the film was shot largely across yorkshire and stars the bollywood superstar akshay kumar. haroon rashid has been speaking to him. india beat great britain, the country who ruled over them for nearly 200 years, at the olympics in 1948 to claim a gold medal in hockey. it was just a year after they gained independence and became a free nation. not many people knew the story, including bollywood superstar akshay kumar who stars in a film based on the real events. this was a very inspirational story which i heard. how we all got together, and because of the unity of all the sports, it got the whole nation united. and it became a dream in 1948 as a free india to win something, or win a gold, and that was a big

thing when we played against england. many parts of gold were actually shot here in the uk, particularly in yorkshire. what was it about that area in particular that enhanced your film? well, we wanted it to look like 1948, and we got this stadium also which looked like that. and obviously there are effects and cg and things. plus, a lot of areas were still untouched and it was looking like that era. what is it that draws you to these scripts? it's not fun to just read in a book. it is so much fun to watch it visually, to bring the whole thing alive. in gold i'm playing this bengali drunk guy. so, they enjoy the vision of it, they enjoy if there's a song, they enjoy to watch it. so that is what inspires me to do these kind of films. gold explores the relationship between britain and india

during colonial rule. there have been other films about the freedom struggle, the fight for independence. what makes gold unique? well, it's not about india—british only, it is about india—german also. it is about india—netherlands also, india—pakistan also. there are many, many aspects which are not known to people, not known what was the true fact, what was happening at that time. akshay, what are your personal views on that time in history and when britain ruled over india? i would say... they... they gave us a lot and they took a lot, so that's all i can say. gold is the latest in a string of films starring akshay kumar aimed at evoking patriotism amongst indians living globally. haroon rashid, bbc news. in a moment it's time for the one o'clock news with simon mccoy
