affected the gili islands, three tiny islands just off the coast of lombok, which are popular with divers. this report from jane frances kelly. chaotic scenes greeted people waiting to be rescued on the beaches. thousands were on the move trying to get to safety but the the authorities struggled to meet demand. translation: most people were killed by a collapsed buildings, evacuation is being done step—by—step due to a shortage of vessels. tourist mike bennett is stuck on one of the gili islands nearby. we heard the authorities had stopped the evacuations because there was so much chaos in lombok. so the boats stopped. we are here with a hundred people, there's no power, the water, we willjust hold out and see what happens tomorrow.

those who managed to get to lombok tried to get flights but it was far from easy. it's terrible. we are in the gili, but i don't know how to get to the airport. despite the devastation, lombok airport continues to operate, allowing tourists to cut short their holiday and leave. one dutchman who injured his knee was in a restaurant when he felt the effects of the earthquake. the noise was crazy, so i thought, this is bad, this is an earthquake. so i started running to the exit, but everyone in the restaurant was also running to the exit, it was like a big stampede and every one fell, three or four people fell on top of me. the earthquake with a magnitude of 6.9 happened early sunday evening, the second in a week to hit lombok. indonesia is prone to them due to its location on the pacific ring of fire, an arc of volcanoes and fault lines.

those hurt were taken to damaged hospitals, and makeshift clinics as medical staff tried to cope with the sudden influx. indonesia's president has called for the immediate evacuation of the injured. translation: i have said work should be carried out as fast as possible to bring out the dead and injured, as well as to provide emergency aid and put on more flights to collect people stuck in more remote areas. the country's disaster management agency said military and aid teams were delivering tents and medical aid but the earthquake had damaged roads and bridges making it difficult to move around. it is expected the numbers of confirmed dead will rise in the coming days. jane—frances kelly, bbc news. one of those who was caught up in the earthquake was phoebe dodds. phoebejoins me now from lombok. i gather there have been the dominant in the last while? yes,

after—shocks happening almost every hour, half an hour. after—shocks happening almost every hour, halfan hour. iam after—shocks happening almost every hour, half an hour. i am on the pavement having just been evacuated from my hotel in lombok. that you are safe to continue the conversation? absolutely, they are small tremors. where were you when the main quake struck?” small tremors. where were you when the main quake struck? i was at bali airport about to board a flight to lombok, suddenly the ground started moving and it felt like someone had picked the airport up and started shaking it. everyone was running around screaming, it was a domestic kernel so everything was in indonesia and so we did not understand the order to evacuate so we just understand the order to evacuate so wejust had to understand the order to evacuate so we just had to wait for it to come down. budget continued your plans and flew to lombok? yes, we did not have the internet connection on our foreign—born‘s so we were not up—to—date with the situation otherwise we would not have come.

but we turned up in the middle of the night in the pitch dark to scenes of destruction. what had been like since you arrived? we were taken to our hotel in the north of lombok, the worst hit area and we we re lombok, the worst hit area and we were greeted by one of the managers who told us the hotel had indeed fallen to the ground so we spent the night sleeping on the road within the hotel complex together with hotel staff, in the pitch darkness whilst after—shocks are happening every half hour. it was quite terrifying to be honest. you have talked about those most recent after—shocks you're still feeling so what will you do? i fly out of the island tomorrow which is the first available flight which i could get since trying for the last day and a half to leave the island but it's been so busy but we just have two it

is farfrom ideal. been so busy but we just have two it is far from ideal. you are guaranteed a place on the flight out as far as you know? young i am as far as as far as you know? young i am as farasi as far as you know? young i am as far as i know. thank you. aid agencies have been helping survivors on the island of lombok. joining me now from the indonesian capitaljakarta is priscilla christin from the charity world vision. give us a sense of what your organisation is able to do on lombok and neighbouring islands at this point? our team has been there since the last earthquake yesterday the earthquake

happened and the problem responding because we need to reassess currently around 91 plus people have what's the most important thing you can do to help at this stage? our plan is to give the people, especially water and sanitation facilities and we also find that

children inaudible and also the inaudible and also the inaudible and also the inaudible and also they need a place to sleep and play, we want to make sure they still have space. they also find they need support, the basic hygiene kit is very important. how difficult is it for your people to stay safe whilst these after—shocks are going on? it's difficult to reach them, the electricity is still down, inaudible they still need to find electricity to make sure the laptop is on to

send us pictures and give us an update and coordinating inaudible seven of our staff are involved. what hope they stay safe. thank you very much indeed. talking about the aid effort going on on the island of lombok. a court has heard that the england cricketer ben stokes ‘lost control‘, during a fight outside a nightclub in bristol last year. the durham all—rounder and two other men — 28—year—old ryan ali and ryan hale, who's 27 — deny a charge of affray. our correspondent phil mackie is at bristol crown court. you have we been hearing from so far? today it'sjust been the case for the prosecution which was opened, they have been faring too much of the evidence we will hear

over the subsequent days of the trial and concentrating on a lot of the cctv and phone footage which shows the events of that night on september 25 last year. particularly footage filled by a student who lived in a flat above the nightclub which is in the triangle in the centre of bristol. he described two police officers to hearing a row developing outside, going to the window, seeing men acting like football hooligans including the three defendants, as well as alex hales. he filmed the fight, a struggle on the pavement before the three defendants moved into the street. it alleged ben stokes knocked his two codefendants unconscious and those two other men had armed themselves during the fight. there has been testimony from people living close by to wear the fight happened, what emerged from that? the next witness we will hear

from in—person will be a doorman at the nightclub who was on duty that night and we have heard particularly some evidence referred to in the opening of the trial today about what happened in the run—up to the fight. he said ben stokes and alex hales have been in the club had left and come back after tm and he refused them entry, they tried to bribe him but he refused and ben stokes became angry and aggressive. a few minutes later the other two defendants and two gay men who had been according to mr cunningham, the doorman, knocked by mr stokes and they were all out in the street which led to this fight though it's not clear what started it or who started it. we have been seeing footage from a body camera of the press officer who arrested ben

stokes during which time he said he was defending the gay men who had been abused by the others. we will hear all the defendants give their side of the story in a trial that is expected to last until the middle of next week. thank you. a man has appeared in court in staffordshire, charged with the murder of the midwife samantha eastwood. her body was found on saturday, eight days after she was last seen leaving work at royal stoke university hospital. michael stirling, who's 32 and from stoke—on trent, was remanded in custody. caroline davies reports. warm, generous, with a great sense of humour — samantha eastwood, a 28—year—old midwife, was reported missing ten days ago. her disappearance has now become a murder inquiry. appearing in court, 32—year—old michael stirling was charged with samantha's murder. michael is thought to have known samantha. he's her former fiance's brother—in—law. samantha's engagement ended earlier this year. this is the last known image of samantha, here on the left,

leaving her night shift at the royal hospital stoke university, ten days ago. when she didn't arrive for her shift that evening, her colleagues raised the alarm. samantha's body was found on saturday in rural staffordshire, ten miles from her home. michael stirling left the magistrates' court after hearing the charges. he will next appear via video link on wednesday at stafford crown court. caroline davies, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news: at least 98 people have been killed and thousands are evacuated after the second earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok. england cricketer ben stokes ‘mocked two gay men‘ before a fight outside a nightclub in bristol last year, a court‘s heard the trump administration is re—imposing a series of sanctions on iran, starting with metals trading, industrial—related software and the motor industry. and alys thomas has won bronze in

the women‘s 200 metres butterfly to add to her gold medal in the same event at the commonwealth games. in cycling‘s madison event a dramatic bronze to claim the third medal of the championships, the pair took the final sprint of the 200 lap race worth double points to move themselves onto the podium. and great britain‘s athletics captain dai greene has pulled out of the championships this afternoon due to a tight hamstring, he was due to compete in qualifying this afternoon. i‘m back with more on all of that at half—past. new figures show drug deaths involving the misuse of the powerful painkillerfentanyl, in england and wales, have risen by almost a third. forms of the drug, which is used to treat cancer pain, are often imported illegally

and sold to users via the dark web. meanwhile — the office for national statistics says that deaths from synthetic drugs designed to mimic cannabis halved in 2017. simon stephens is in our newcastle studio — he is director of case work at addictions uk which is a substance recovery charity based in the north east. he‘s also a recovering addict himself. simon, thank you very much for coming on the programme. a word about fenta nyl first of coming on the programme. a word about fentanyl first of all, given what has been said about that by the office of national statistics, how much is that drug affected people in your region? it's having a profound effect. it is a very cheap way of adulterating heroine. so the idea that maybe people by fentanyl from the dark web, some people are maybe buying it, but then they are using it to adulterate heroine. for a lot

of people it has an side effects, severe headaches and vomiting but perhaps most of all hallucinations and a complete an awareness of where they are at at anyone time. so it can be hugely problematic. but it‘s very attracted to people who are making a living from dealing these substances, it is a cost—effective way of if you like boosting the kind of quality of the drug but for many people the side effects are quite profound. and also we have to look at how adulterating substances mixed into drugs in that some people can get far more than others and this is causing also a problem with overdoses. there are far more overdoses. there are far more overdoses than are reported, not all overdoses than are reported, not all overdoses a re overdoses than are reported, not all overdoses are fatal. there‘s a huge problem out there particularly in

the cities of the north—east which is filtering into the local counties and rule areas. why is the north—east particularly affected? and rule areas. why is the north—east particularly affected ?|j don‘t know what will be my short answer. i can‘t imagine it‘s the only place in the country this is happening. if you look at the statistics you might think more people die in the north—east of overdoses and so forth, but that can be driven by the adulteration, it could be driven by the starting number of addicts, perhaps a higher percentage of starting number of addicts so you get more deaths or it could be something to do with the way treatment is handled and things. it's way treatment is handled and things. it‘s probably most likely a mixture of all three. i think the real big question is why when we live in a first world country that is incredibly wealthy the entire population sits in perhaps the top 7% of the world‘s wealthiest people,

should so many of us seek to want to switch off a whole part of our brain in order to try and deal with living in what theoretically should be a paradise of things around us.|j wa nted paradise of things around us.|j wanted to come onto that, when you look at the breakdown of the figures on the way different drugs feature, there is better news for some than others, i wonder if there is anything to be learned from those areas where the news is slightly brighter? i'm not sure, because there are so many variable factors. often when we look at this we think it‘s about people who abuse drugs and to live on the street and we kind of very carefully exclude various groups which often includes ourselves. a huge percentage of the population are abusing substances because it suppresses their emotional content. they are not

essentially happy with their lives and we live in this, we have a huge amount of resources available to us and clearly resource alone is not what makes us happy and in fact it‘s just making us perhaps a lot more stress tha n just making us perhaps a lot more stress than things. we look to solutions to try and reduce that emotional baggage that we are carrying. we must leave it there but thank you very much for coming on. the muslim council of britain has accused borisjohnson of pandering to the far—right and denigrating some muslim women, following remarks the former foreign secretary made about the niqab. in his newspaper column, the former foreign secretary said women wearing burqas ‘look like letter boxes‘ or bank robbers. joining me now is our political correspondent susana mendonca. this is in his column in the

telegraph, he is well—known for getting headlines, he‘s said something controversial, he‘s talking about the ban we saw in denmark on women wearing face veils and he says he does not think the ban should be fermented here in the uk, there should not be a ban on women wearing those things in public places but that‘s not because he supports the idea of women wearing ba rca, supports the idea of women wearing barca, in fact the language he uses is pretty offensive in terms of the comparisons he makes, he says it‘s ridiculous they go around looking like a letter boxes, he compares them to bank robbers. all of this has angered those within the muslim community. we have heard from the muslim council of britain saying he is pandering to the far right but also the conservative muslim forum which says the effect of this article is to whip up hatred and that boris johnson article is to whip up hatred and that borisjohnson is a master of the english language and he knows thatis the english language and he knows that is the effect this could have. for borisjohnson there are those

who think perhaps he is doing this in order to raise his profile, he is someone who was the foreign secretary until he resigned, he is potentially a leadership contender to theresa may so david lammy the labourmp is to theresa may so david lammy the labour mp is saying he thinks this is an example of boris being a pound shop donald trump, fanning the fla mes shop donald trump, fanning the fla m es of shop donald trump, fanning the flames of islamophobia to propel his political image. but there has been criticism of some within the conservative party, sayeeda warsi has talked about the issue of islamophobia that she sees as something the conservative party has not got to grips with and is in denial about. she has tweeted about this today and said it‘s still an issue. that still no enquiry and no action on this. we heard from downing street, theresa may‘s official spokesperson said they do not support the ban on the wearing of face veils and it‘s something which would not be in keeping with

british values. that's one political story today, what have labour and the arguments which continue about anti—semitism? the arguments which continue about anti-semitism? labour have this ongoing problem, certainly the jewish communities yet that the party has failed to take on the full definitions outlined in an international interpretation of anti—semitism in its new code of conduct so that‘s where this more recent flare—up of the anger over anti—semitism has come. jeremy corbyn over the weekend coming out ofan corbyn over the weekend coming out of an article, a video that he tries to put across the image that he‘s trying to do something about this, that‘s kind of been overshadowed by the response to an article by tom watson where he talks about how the party could disappear into a vortex of eternal shame. following that article he has been bombarded with tweets from labour party members

telling him to resign. among those, one facebook post considered to be anti—semitic from george mcmanus on the national policy forum, the party we re the national policy forum, the party were quick with the criticism of him, saying he would be suspended pending an investigation and he has since told the bbc has comments are stupid and crass and insensitive and hurtful. i suppose it shows the party trying to act quickly on this issue because they have been criticised for not acting quickly enoughin criticised for not acting quickly enough in the past when complaints are made. we have heard from rebecca long—bailey in the cabinet and she has added to those calls for something to be done quickly to get this problem over and done with and sorted. it's a very, very difficult issue, and we're coming from a very dark place. we know that we weren't dealing with issues very quickly when this issue first presented itself. now we need to get to grips with the matter, and we know that we've had jeremy speaking quite

openly on this issue over the weekend. we've opened dialogue with the jewish community to make sure that we get our anti—semitism code of conduct really, really on the button. it has to be, because we've got to restore faith in the jewish community. labour is reviewing the code of conduct but i am told that will not happen instantly, there will be a period of time they have to go through it and speak to thejewish community is no instant answers. it is difficult to see how they will allay the fears of the jewish community unless they take on the full interpretation of anti—semitism to the letter. thanks. forecasters are predicting temperatures across the uk will fall back down to average for this time of year by the end of the week. but across many other parts of the world — heatwaves are continuing. in portugal, hundreds of firefighters are continuing to try and control a major wildfire in the algarve. neighbouring spain continues to swelter in temperatures

close to a0 degrees. and it‘s notjust in europe — on the other side of the world, japan and australia are also trying to cope with extreme weather, as richard lister reports. looming over the village of monchique, in southern portugal, a mountain of fire. it has been burning for three days. the extreme heat in the region has turned it into a tinderbox. as the fire moves through, home owners have been returning to see what is left. this woman was reunited with the animals she was forced to leave behind. they have all had a lucky escape. on the portuguese coast, the heatwave is driving people away from the cafes, the streets are deserted as people seek shade. it is hard, says caio, we‘re brazilian and we have never seen heat like this. it‘s too hot, says ana. it is true it is the summer but we can‘t breathe.

parts of switzerland have seen the hottestjuly since records began, so hot that this ageing nuclear power plant has been forced to scale back electricity production to keep vital equipment cool. the drought here means crops are struggling as well, but that‘s not just a european problem. in australia‘s new south wales it‘s winter, but the farmers haven‘t had enough rain and this year to break the drought. the government has had to intervene with financial support. australian farmers are resilient. they plan for drought. they are good managers. but it can become really overwhelming. this is the worst drought in new south wales since the 1965 drought. across asia, people have been sweltering for weeks. in japan today temperatures nudged a0 degrees. the summer has been the hottest on record, with scores of deaths.

so what of britain‘s long hot summer? in hyde park today the deck chairs were empty, the sunshine and a novelty that seems to have worn off. while it is going to be hot for some for a few more days the bookies have slashed the odds that august could end up being the wettest on record. richard lister, bbc news. time for a look at the weather. here‘s ben rich with the forecast. temperatures up to around 32 degrees but it‘s been cooler and that will spread to the rest of the week with a mixture of sunshine and showers, a stripe of cloud on the chart this evening, the weather front across southern scotland and part of northern england, wales and the south west, the odd spot of rain. to the north—west to clear spells and showers, then further south and east

of dry and clear night, a warm night as well. across the central and south eastern areas tomorrow it will be another hot and sunny day, the last of the hot sunny days will time being, this frontal system making slow progress, then further north west we have got cooler air. sunshine and showers, 18 degrees up into the low 30s across parts of the south—east. slightly cooler feel into wednesday and thursday, sunshine and a few showers but by friday we see wet weather spreading from the west, uncertainty about the timing but some wind and rain at times for the weekend. this is bbc news. the headlines: at least 98 people have been killed and thousands of residents and tourists evacuated after the second earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok in a week.

quite a few days for him! great britain‘s jack carlin is through to the bronze medal ride in the men‘s sprint, that‘s after he was beaten by germany‘s former world champion stefan botticher in the semi—finals. the athletics‘ gets under way properly over in berlin tomorrow — the other host city of this event — but qualifying has been taking place there today. dai green was meant to be taking part today but great britain‘s captain has pulled out of the championships due to a hamstring issue. our reporter is in berlin for us. this is his best season for some yea rs this is his best season for some years and his first major championships since 2013. but we understand he suffered a tight hamstring and he was forced to pull out. dai green has won the european

of being part of the notorious islamic state cell known as the beatles, have called into question the governments attempt have them tried in the united states. speaking to the bbc for the first time since the legal moves were made public alexanda koty and shafee el sheikh denied they had been stripped of their british citizenship. the pair deny being part of the is gang and are being held at an undisclosed location in northern syria. they spoke to our middle east correspondent, quentin sommervill. for seven months the two have been held in kurdish and american custody in syria. the us government says the men water board, crucified and executed prisoners as part of a jihadist cell dubbed the beatles by their prisoners. what did you do in

is? as for specific details as what i was doing in is controlled territories is a question i would prefer not to answer at this stage for legal reasons. do you still deny you‘re a member of the group known as the beatles. yes, of course. same yes? yes. the gang is blamed for the killings of do britons. none of the bodies of dead have been found. did you ever meet killar milleur. an

american worker. didn't meet any foreign non—muslims. american worker. didn't meet any foreign non-muslims. the videos set a new low, with people beheaded in front of camera. the chief executioner was only the ring master. one of a graup gfoup executioner was only the ring master. one of a graup group of four who executed as many as 27 prisoners. he was killed by an us drone strike. did they know him i asked? he is a friend of mine. jihadi john. he asked? he is a friend of mine. jihadijohn. he was asked? he is a friend of mine. jihadi john. he was nicknamed that, yes. the man that the rest of the world knows is an executioner, somebody who has been called a psychopath, somebody who will be remembered for his cruelty and his brutality. that's their way to

choose to remember him. i chose to remember him differently. you wouldn‘t condemn his torture and beheadings of people like james foley? i took a position of not speaking of him. at all. in a negative way. you have no remorse, there is no shame. it wasn‘t you. negative way. you have no remorse, there is no shame. it wasn't youlj there is no shame. it wasn't you.” have many regrets. notjust being here. previous to coming here, i have had my regrets. not about coming to syria. i told them that britain wants to send them to the united states where they could face the death penalty. what makes the british government want a british citizen to be tried in america? but they have stripped you of your citizenship. that hasn't been confirmed. for now the fate of two

remains uncertain. the government‘s plan for them to face trial in the united states is underjudicial review. former er hostages say they wa nt review. former er hostages say they want them to face trial. they are being held in northern syria at an undisclosed location. here is my diplomatic correspondent. a little more about these men. they're accused of some brutal stuff. not just membership of the beatles group, that is accused of murders. but specifically the us state department alleges these two, they we re department alleges these two, they were specifically involved in a lot of what they were doing. . one had a reputation for water boarded and

mocks executions and torture. the home secretary said in a letter that there was intelligence that implicates these two men in the murder of several individuals. so there are specific allegations against these two. which is why british police have been investigating them for four years. what about the possibility raised of them going to the united states to a nswer them going to the united states to answer charges. that is what the british would like. they would like them to face trial in front of a judge in the united states. but the problem is it is complicated. they‘re being held by a kurdish militia. so they‘re not in the hands of the us or british authorities. secondly, they have had their citizenship removed. there is also the fact that many of their alleged victories were international and not just british. there is an uncertainty over the jurisdiction. the british government view is the

american laws cover these allegation and that is where they should be tried. but the americans have yet to make a decision. the fear within the british government the more there is a delay. at some point other options may happen and the americans may say, just send them to guantanamo bay without due process or the kurdish militias say we could release them or possibly hand them to the syrian regime or they could execute them themselves. there are a lot of other option. but there is a limbo of uncertainty at the moment. the white house has announced that the us is re—imposing a series of sanctions on iran, following its withdrawal from the nuclear deal. the first phase of sanctions will go into effect overnight and will target tehran‘s purchase of us dollars, metals trading — which includes gold — and coal. in a statement, president

trump said he remained open to striking a new nuclear deal with iran that would address what he called the full range of the country‘s malign activities. let‘s speak to our correspondent gary o‘donoghue who joins me from washington. a word about the significance of today and where it takes us? since the united states decided to withdraw from the nuclear agreement, which it signed along with five other countries and iran back in 20 2015. these are the first wave of sanctions coming into effect later today. there will be another bunch coming into effect that will affect iran‘s oil exports in november. these are, this is a unilateral decision by the us. other signatories including the uk and france disagree with the american position and the difficulty for america is that given the split in

that coalition it will be harder for them to enforce the sanctions, although they have said they will do that agrezively. —— aggressively. the uk and and france and germany say they regret what the us is doing and will protect european countries doing business in iran. what about the line he could contemplate a new nuclear deal to replace the one he is getting rid of? yes, it is not very clear what that would look like. america is saying it would bring in other issues into a new deal. for example, iran‘s development of missiles, its support for regimes like those in syria and other factors into a for regimes like those in syria and otherfactors into a potential for regimes like those in syria and other factors into a potential new deal. that is something that iran is unlikely to agree to at this stage. but the other interesting thing that

is president trump has offered to meet the iranian leadership without preconditions he said. in an echo of he feels his success with the north korean leadership in singapore, so thatis korean leadership in singapore, so that is an offer that is out there. we are due to hear from the that is an offer that is out there. we are due to hearfrom the iranian leadership shortly. their leader is due to speak in about an hour‘s time. he expect to hear a reaction from him to that offer. thank you. police have rescued eleven starving and emaciated children from a filthy makeshift compound in the us state of new mexico. officers searching for a missing three—year—old raided the site near the state border with colorado. the child was not there, but they found eleven others, being kept without enough food and water. rachel wright reports. a makeshift compound in the deserts of new mexico. a prison for 11 children. a small underground caravan

declared in california, as wildfires rage across the region. thousands of firefighters are tackling blazes which have been spread by high temperatures and strong winds. so far, seven people have died and thousands of homes 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 destruction and death caused by the ferocious fires, the white house has declared this as a major disaster. we have displaced nearly 40,000 plus people. there have been about 1300 plus homes that have been destroyed. but on the good part we have repopulated many areas and got people back into 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, they weren‘t 360 degrees around our area, but close enough that we decided to get out. in california alone than a thousand aircraft and fire engines are being used in the attempt to bring the fires under control. but it is proving extraordinarily difficult. firefighters from new zealand and australia are flying to help try tackle the fire north of sacramento, another major blaze. in this state well over 111,000 people have been involved in a 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 is soaring — it was up to £115 million last year — and farmers across the uk

are resorting to medieval methods to try and protect their equipment. according to the insurance company nfu mutual — some farmers — as well as using modern technology, such as cctv, floodlighting and motion sensors — have also built trenches to protect their properties against a growing wave of vehicle, equipment and livestock theft by organised gangs. ian white 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‘re seeing people bringing things like earth banks, the sort of medieval fortifications last used a thousand years ago, they‘re putting up stockade—like fences around their farms, and using these in conjunction with hi—tech security, like cctv. as you can see, ian, here we are on top of a hill. a mile over that hilltop, and you're into west yorkshire and keighley... yorkshire sheep farmer

david airey knows only too well what it‘s like to be targeted by criminals. his farm in craven spans five miles across three counties, and thieves come at him from all directions. in the last sort of 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‘re looking for. we know organised crime gangs are working notjust across europe but across the world, and that will be paying for other things, that will be paying for large quantities of drugs to come back in, that will be paying for debts to be paid off, that will be paying for firearms smuggling. different police forces have different priorities, so there‘s a lack ofjoined—up

thinking when it to tackling rural crime. the government says police funding will increase by over £160 million this year, with around £280 million going directly to forces to spend on local priorities. what we‘re trying to do is make sure it‘s harder in every place for criminals to make profit. and to make people safer by working effectively together, understanding what are our tactics, and understanding, as we find here today, what works, what is good for this, and how do we give our officers the best opportunity to chase after criminals. the fear now is that if the police can‘t help, farmers could be tempted to take the law into their own hands. god help me if i ever caught one in the act, you know, and it's wrong, but, you know, i couldn't say what i would do to them. 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 property safe. ian white, bbc news. prescription—only drugs are being sold online to potentially

vulnerable patients, according to a bbc panorama investigation. the health care regulator in england, 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. 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 full investigation in panorama ‘online doctors uncovered‘ on bbc one tonight at half past eight — in wales you can watch it at 10.110. four endangered bears are settling in to their new home at

a wildlife park in south yorkshire, after a remarkable 5,000 mile rescue mission. the animals had spent years in cramped cages in a museum injapan, but now they‘re exploring their new, more spacious surroundings near doncaster, as fiona lamdin explains. 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. 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 cranes 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. that is a long wait for a bath! now the weather with ben. good evening. another hot and sunny day in south eastern areas today. things have been changing though further north and west. while the scene in hampshire was one of blue skies and sunshine, further north it was a cloudier affair. that is fifejust earlier on. you can see from the satellite we have this stripe of

cloud, a slow—moving front across northern ireland, southern scotland and northern england. it is bringing some cooler air. but down to the south—east, even as we go into the first part of evening, the heat holds on. 31 degrees in london at six o‘clock. as we go through the night this stripe of cloud willjust continue to stagger across southern scotla nd continue to stagger across southern scotland into northern england and parts of wales and the south—west. just the odd spot of rain with that. further north and west a mixture of clear spells and showers. further south and east another warm night. and another hot sunny day tomorrow in central and eastern parts of england. for western parts and wales, also the far south of scotland, the front still bringing some cloud and rain. for northern ireland and the western side of scotla nd ireland and the western side of scotland it is a mixture of sunshine and showers and temperatures around 18 degrees. another day of 30 degree plus across parts of south—east. as

we go into tomorrow evening, the southern and eastern areas may see some thunder storms. that could give you some heavy rain. we will lose those by the time we get into wednesday morning. further systems following on from the west. bringing a bit of rain. but the bigger feature of this i think will be to introduce some much cooler, fresher airfrom the introduce some much cooler, fresher air from the west. wednesday a very different feeling day. particularly down to the south—east. no more low 30s. mid 20s at best. still some sunshine in eastern areas and some showers across the western half of the uk. and we stick with that cooler feel into thursday. still some sunshine and some showers and by friday we‘re going to see some more persistent rain in western areas and some stronger winds. this is something we haven‘t seen for some time, an area of low pressure. this weather chart would not look out of place in the autumn. tightly

squeezed isobars and some heavy rain. as we head towards the weekend there is some uncertainty about the timing, but there will be a spell of unusually wet and windy weather and it is going to feel significantly cooler. so a big change is on the way. one of the stars of england cricket — ben stokes — appears in court charged with affray after a fight outside a nightclub last year. the jury was told that the 27—year—old all rounder mocked two gay men before losing control during a sustained episode of significant violence. two other men are appearing alongside him in court — all three deny the charges. also tonight. thousands of people — including tourists — try to leave the indonesian island of lombok after the second earthquake in a week leaves almost 100 people dead. drug poisoning claims the lives of more than three and half thousand people in a year in england and wales — an all time high. fighting the flames — as forecasters say temperatures

here are finally set to cool — we‘ll be looking at what‘s behind this years‘ extreme weather. and why these incredible — eerie — wind powered scultpures have caught the attention of nasa‘s space scientists.
