welcome to newsday. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. the headlines: the moment the tremor struck. indonesian officials say nearly 100 people have died in the lombok earthquake. translation: summit and white survived, my nephew hurt his head and he died because of the damage. there were also three children who died at. —— my son and my wife survived. president trump re—imposes sanctions against iran, following the united states‘ withdrawal from the nuclear deal. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme — as record temperatures hit many parts of the globe, scientists say the world is at risk from extremely dangerous levels of climate change. and australia's drought caught on camera. we'll talk to the woman who's captured the dramatic impact of the severe weather. good morning.

it's midnight in london and 7 in the morning in singapore and lombok, indonesia where thousands of people have been left stranded, after a second earthquake hit the holiday island and the surrounding area. 98 people are known to have died and hundreds have been injured. thousands of others have been left without shelter, and are having to camp out in the fields. our correspondent mehulika sitepu is in lombok and sent us this report. it struck without warning, sending thousands into the streets to seek shelter. the 6.9 magnitude quake is the second to have hit the island of lombok in just over a week, causing yet more chaos, destruction and death. and it has displaced thousands who were driven out of their homes

in the fear the after—shocks could bring about a tsunami. for the locals here, the quake comes all too soon after the one last week which displaced 10,000 people from their homes. a further 10,000 are expected tojoin them in rescue camps like this where they can find food, water and shelter. hundreds of tourists are among those stranded. the normally serene paradise beaches covered in swarms of people desperate to leave by any means possible. but there aren't enough boats. some at the island's airport, though, are managing to leave. we didn't get a wink of sleep and we're currently in the airport. as soon as the earthquake hit we booked a flight to just get home straight away. in the fresh light of day, a sense of the scale of the damage. homes and buildings reduced to rubble, and a desperate hunt for those who may have survived. translation: my son and wife

all survived but my nephew hurt his head and he died because of the damage from the wall. there were also three children who died. hundreds are injured and medical staff are struggling to cope with the numbers turning up at the hospitals in the main city, mataram. translation: we should try to minimise the effects of this earthquake as quickly as possible, be it evacuation of the dead or the injured. they should be treated as well as they can be. the tsunami threat has been lifted and no further large tremors are predicted, but the death toll is expected to rise. mehulika sitepu, bbc news, lombok. a short time ago i spoke to a partner of save the children in indonesia, their organisation is on

the ground helping with the relief effort. the capital city —— i am in the capital city. we are a part of save the children in indonesia and are working on the ground to save lives and alleviate the suffering of children and family is in north lombok in indonesia. we actually received the official number of the people affected by the earthquake. it says that around 98 people died and a total of 238 people clearly injured —— severely injured by the earthquake. at the number is actually very dynamic at the moment. it may potentially increase in terms of death and the injured. but we can say that thousands of people flee from their homes and also away from

their home. we do not determine yet how many displaced people. but it will be around more than 1000 people evacuated. as you said, we are still waiting to find out the numbers over the coming days, but children are the coming days, but children are the most honourable at this stage of the most honourable at this stage of the emergency search and rescue. what are your main concerns about their welfare? yes, our consent is actually children might be traumatised because of the earthquake. they stay together with theirfamily but earthquake. they stay together with their family but during the earthquake, children might be separated from their family. yesterday afternoon around 7pm when i received the information from one of my staff on the ground, it says that two of the children, the relatives, they are actually

separated from their family and for 110w separated from their family and for now they are not returning to their family. so separation might be one of the crisis among the children. but actually, we can see that the school at the moment is not operating yet. the governor has already said that the school will be closed and there is no exact time when they will be functioning. our other top story, let's head to northern italy where two people have died and 55 are injured after an oil tanker exploded on a motorway close to bologna. the blast was caused by an accident between the tanker and several cars. james reynolds has more. the collision happened on a bridge on the outskirts of the northern italian city of bologna. a truck which was transporting cars collided

with a tanker, thought to contain liquefied petroleum gas. a crash caused an explosion, shooting out debris which injured those nearby. fla mes debris which injured those nearby. flames and black clouds of smoke we re flames and black clouds of smoke were visible well into the distance. the fire caused the bridge to partially. flames spread to a car park underneath the structure, causing several more vehicles to explode. the heat made it difficult for firefighters to get close. the police closed off nearby roads in an attempt to contain the damage. several of the injured have been taken to nearby burns centre is. because of crash will now be investigated. james reynolds, bbc news, rome. —— the call was. —— the cause. also this hour — 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. state media said north korea had handed over the remains of us troops killed in the korean war, and dismantled a nuclear test site. it said the american demand for total denuclearisation before sanctions can be eased is outrageous. saudi arabia says it is freezing all new trade and investment deals with canada, and is expelling the country's ambassador. riyadh's envoy to ottawa is also being recalled. last week, canada's foreign ministry criticised the arrest in saudi arabia of women's rights activists, including saudi—american human rights campaigner, samar badawi. in venezuela, hundreds of people have rallied in caracas to show support to president nicolas maduro after a suspected attack over the weekend. mr maduro blamed colombia and exiles in the united states for what he called an assassination attempt. six people have been arrested for their involvement in the attack. the renowned french chef, joel robuchon, has died in the swiss city of geneva at the age of 73. mr robuchon had won more than thirty michelin stars, more than any other chef in the world, running gourmet restaurants across europe, north america and asia. the us has re—imposed sanctions

on iran, following president trump's decision to withdraw from an international deal designed to control iran's nuclear ambitions. the iranian president, hassan rouhani accused the us of psychological warfare and said talks and sanctions couldn't go together. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports. the demonstrations may be sporadic and they may be geographically widespread, but discontent across iran with the state of the country's economy is high and could be about to get a whole lot higher still. the us will reimpose sanctions from tomorrow, making life even tougher. so what can be done to avoid this? president trump's national security adviser was characteristically blunt. they could take up the president's

offer to negotiate with them, to give up their ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programmes fully and really verifiably, not under the onerous terms of the iran nuclear deal which really are not satisfactory, to stop their support for international terrorism, to give up their military activities in the region. the sanctions are a direct result of america pulling out the iran nuclear deal, negotiated by the 0bama administration, along with britain and other european nations. in return for halting its nuclear programme for a decade, the country was promised sanctions really. president trump always maintained it gave iran far too much, for too little in return. so today he signed a new package of measures, warmly welcomed by allies in the region. translation: i praise president trump and the american administration for the decision to impose sanctions on iran. this is an important moment for israel, for the us, the region and the entire world. it signifies the determination to halt iran's regional aggression and also its ongoing plans to arm

itself with nuclear weapons. the sanctions will hit iran's car industry, trade in gold and precious metals and the ability to purchase us currency in foreign exchange markets. from november, 2018, sanctions will be extended and they'll target iran's crucial oil industry. but from tehran today, defiance. translation: trump and his government are the ones who have rejected negotiations and turned their back on diplomacy. what he is doing is against the iranian nation and against the national interests of iran. iran is ready for diplomacy if there's honesty in the process. 0n the streets and in the markets, the iranian economy has been rocked by the sharp decline in the value of the rial against the dollar, sparking social unrest. america says its goal is not regime change, but it is certainly turning the heat

up on iran's rulers. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. scientists say the world is at risk from extremely dangerous levels of climate change despite global efforts to limit emissions of carbon dioxide. it comes as many parts of the world are in the grip of record high temperatures. researchers have added that the most devastating effects of climate change can be averted if global action is taken to cut emissions, plant forests and develop technology to suck carbon from the air. 0ur science editor david shukman reports. an image of apocalypse of the kind you might expect hollywood to conjure up. but this was filmed on a real front line in california over the weekend. record temperatures and bone dry conditions are triggering dozens

of wildfires in several american state. we stayed up there as long as we could in our valley. until the flames were truly, they were not 360 degrees around our area, but close enough that we decided to get out. there are similar scenes in europe. in portugal an entire mountainside in the algarve has been burning for three days. fires are a constant risk here, but the speed of their spread has been shocking. this woman and her animals had a lucky escape. at the same time there is punishing heat in asia. north korea, usually so secretive, allowed its shimmering streets to be filmed. the heatwave has been declared a natural disaster. summer isn't over yet but already there's been a string of remarkable extremes. last month death valley in california had an average temperature of 42.3 celsius, the highest ever recorded. even in the arctic, bardufoss in norway reached a record high of 33.5 degrees celsius. and 0man had a 24—hour period in which it never got below 42.6. and scientists say that climate change may bring more of this.

a new report warns that we're still pumping out the gases that warm the atmosphere and that the earth may suddenly become much hotter. because natural features of the planet like the rainforests are under pressure, and they help to keep us cool. so if it were correct and if this was to take place, it would be very serious because there would be all sorts of impact that would affect people in many ways. for example some places would be very short of water, other places, deltas and places, would be flooded. 0ne extreme is here in switzerland, the famous alpine meadows have turned brown. nearby, a nuclear power station has had to cut back because the river water that is meant to cool it is now too hot. and in japan there is another challenge. more than 100 people have died in the heat, but this is where the olympic games will be held in 2020. so they might shift the clocks by two hours so races can be

in cooler conditions. a radical move as temperatures are set to rise. david shukman, bbc news. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: the moving animal sculptures powered by wind, that have attracted the attention of nasa. also on the programme — we find out why disney's new winnie the pooh film, ‘christopher robin‘ has been denied a release in china. the question was whether we want to save our people, and japanese as well, and win the war and taking a chance to win the war by killing our young men. the invasion began at 2am in the morning. mr bush, like most other people, was clearly caught by surprise. we call for the immediate and unconditional withdrawal

of all the iraqi forces. 100 years old and still full of vigor, vitality and enjoyment of life. no other king or queen in british history has lived so long, and the queen mother is said to be quietly very pleased indeed that she's achieved this landmark anniversary. this is a pivotal moment for the church as an international movement. the question now is whether the american vote will lead to a split in the anglican community. this is newsday on the bbc. i'm sharanjit leyl in singapore. and i'm babita sharma in london. our top stories. thousands of tourists flee the indonesian island of lombok after an earthquake kills nearly 100 people president trump re—imposes sanctions against iran, following the united states' withdrawal from the nuclear deal. let's take a look

at some front pages from around the world. 0n the front page of the japan times, the earthquake in lombok is top news. nearly 100 have been killed and the national disaster mitigation agency said it expects the death toll to rise. the south china morning post reports that police in beijing have blocked a protest over a crackdown on peer to peer lending. investors who lost their savings to the country's peer to peer lending industry were stopped from protesting by uniformed officers. 0n the front page of the international edition of the new york times, there is a story about the internet in china. sites such as google and facebook are blocked in the country and the paper says china is now exporting its model of a censored internet to other

countries including ethiopia, tanzania and vietnam. now, what stories are sparking discussions online? disney's new winnie the pooh film christopher robin is stirring up debate in china where film authorities have denied a release for the new movie without an apparent reason. but it's widely rumoured to be part of a nationwide clampdown on references to the children's character. chinese authorities have been blocking images of pooh on social media since last year, after chinese leader xi jinping was compared to the bear on social media. yesterday on newsday we brought you the news that the australian government has announced an extra 140 million dollars in aid for farmers, as the country suffer the worst dry spell in living memory. one woman has made it her mission to speak to the many families affected by the severe weather. edwina roberston is normally a country wedding photographer but has been travelling through some of the country's worst hit areas — and has captured them on camera. she caught the media's attention

after getting emotional in a meeting with australian prime minister malcolm turnbull. we can speak to edwina now. welcome to the programme. before ask about the meeting, tell us what drove you to do this project, to depict the lives of the stricken families in these drought hit areas, and coming from your background, which is wedding photography. it's chalk and cheese, really. it was formed because there was a little bit of media coverage about the drought but it was very general, there were no personalised stories. i wanted to go out and meet farming families in rural communities and really individualise and personalise

those stories to create a bit more emotional attachment to what is happening in rural australia right 110w happening in rural australia right now and there wasn't a lot of mainstream media coverage so i thought, if even people in the bush didn't know much about it, if they didn't know much about it, if they didn't really know what was happening, there was little chance that anyone in the urban populations would have an understanding of what was happening in drought stricken areas so it's more of an awareness, areas so it's more of an awareness, a campaign to inform others of what is happening in the vast majority of the country. we are seeing some of your photos which are quite powerful, very disturbing and heartbreaking images of livestock being affected. tel is a bit about the families you've met and some of the families you've met and some of the really heartbreaking stories. it's been so tragic. i've visited families were people can't afford help to feed their livestock. 0ne

family in particular had to be a four—year—old son driving the vehicle to help the mother to put out cotton seed for the cattle and its traumatic because if something happened, if there was an accident or she fell off the back of the vehicle, that four—year—old wouldn't know what to do. it's very worrying that this is happening, people taking kids out of school to help on the farm. i was at a property on friday morning and they received a phone call that a family member had just taken their own life. it's not only financially difficult but a lot of people are emotionally affected. you did meet the prime minister and you cried. tell us about that. yes, ididn't you cried. tell us about that. yes, i didn't expect to cry, i had a lot of things i wanted to pass on to him but it's very emotional and hard to try to be a voice for people who

don't have the ability or strength to do so now that was my raw emotion, that's how i felt, i was so sad, that the government wasn't doing anything. thank you so much for coming onto the programme and your story with us. a dutch artist who's moving animal sculptures, powered entirely by the wind are now attracting the attention of nasa. they‘ re called strandbeests and are the creation of theo jansen. nasa wants to use his ideas to create a windpowered rover on venus, one of the most inhospitable places in the solar system. 0ur arts correpsondent david sillito has been to meet him. scheveningen. 0n the dutch coast. and a summer spectacle, the strandbeests. wind blown mechanical artworks. you don't get used to it, not really, so it is always something special when you see them. i think they are amazing.

my name is theo jansen and i try to make new forms of life on the beach where i was born, 70 years ago. it moves pretty easily, doesn't it? theo jansen is an engineer and artist and wejoined him as he brought out his latest beests for his summer experiments. these animals, they gave me sleepless nights, because i am thinking is this really workable? the puzzle, how to make something move and survive on the beach, powered only by the wind. what you're looking at is 28 years of trial and error, expertise, creating mechanical movement, almost a mechanical brain, which is what has attracted the attention of nasa. this animation shows how their meeting with theo has influenced their thinking for a venus rover, an environment where pressure and heat is just too much for normal motors.

however, he had doubts that the legs could cope with rocky surfaces, so he showed them this, his caterpillar. inspiration for a more robust design. i was honoured that nasa, they invited me and of course, i promoted the beests very much there. do you think one of your strandbeests will end up on another planet now? i don't think so, but i hope so. nasa is still working on a final design, but whatever they come up with, it will owe something to theo jansen‘s strange, beautiful, windborne creatures. david sillito, bbc news, scheveningen in the netherlands. you have been watching newsday. i had the honour of meeting the artist a few weeks ago here on tuesday and if you want to catch
