it's 1am in london and 8 in the morning in singapore and lombok where rescue workers on the indonesian island have been searching the rubble for survivors. it follows the powerful earthquake, now known to have killed nearly 100 people. thousands of homes have been flattened or damaged by the second quake to hit the island in a week and people are having to camp out in the fields. 0ur 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. for more on this a short time ago i spoke to silverius tasman, from yayasan sayangi tunas cilik, a partner of save the children in indonesia. their organisation is on the ground helping in the relief effort. 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 families 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 severely injured by the earthquake. 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 most vulnerable at this stage of the emergency search and rescue. what are your main concerns about their welfare? yes, our concern is actually children might be traumatised because of the earthquake. they stay together with their family, but during the earthquake, children might be separated from theirfamily. 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 now they are not returning to theirfamily. 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. and you can find more information about the earthquake in indonesia on our website, including interviews with victims and witnesses, and details about earthquakes as a phenomenon. that's at bbc.com/news, or you can download the bbc news app. our other top story: a crash between two trucks on a highaway near bologna in northern italy has caused a huge explosion, killing at least two people and injuring more than 60. one of the vehicles was a tanker carrying flammable material. 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. the crash caused an explosion, shooting out debris which injured those nearby. flames and black clouds of smoke were visible well into the distance. the fire caused the bridge to partially collapse. 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 centres. the cause of crash will now be investigated. james reynolds, bbc news, rome. 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. rick gates, a longtime business associate of paul manafort, president trump's former campaign manager, has confessed at manafort‘s fraud trial that they did commit crimes by filing false tax returns and not disclosing foreign bank acounts. gates is considered a star witness in the case after he pleaded guilty in february and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. mr manafort, has instead

pleaded not guilty on 18 counts. 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. we can go to the scene in lombok

where the rubble and the degree of the run, damaged houses is there, people are waking up to another day -- du people are waking up to another day —— du preez of the damaged houses —— debris. the second earthquake struck ina week debris. the second earthquake struck in a week and 100 people are known to have lost their lives. more on that to come. stay with us on bbc world news. still to come on the programme: the moving animal sculptures powered by wind now attracting 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. 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. gets the story we're leading with too. —— it's the story we're leading with too. 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, babita, what stories are sparking discussions online? you've got a story about a cuddly character everyone loves sparking discussions? 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 in aid for farmers as the country suffers 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. earlier i spoke to edwina and asked her how she got involved with some of those worst affected by drought. 0ne bucket was formed because there was a little bit of media coverage about the drought but it was very general, there wasn't any personalised stories. there wasn't any emotion attached to those 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's 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, so if people in rural australia 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, a campaign to inform others of what is happening in the vast majority of the country. 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. u nfortu nately we

unfortunately we can't bring you that report at the moment due to some technical difficulties, we will try to get that to you. we have at. here's his report. that we have that. —— we have that. scheveningen on 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're 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'm 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 at 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 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. extraordinary sculptures. i interviewed him on newsday a few weeks ago. you have been watching newsday. coming up, we'll see how instagram is changing the face of beauty. social media is boosting sales in skincare and makeup and giving the industry a makeover. you have been watching newsday. live from singapore and london. we will have more on the aftermath of the earthquake on the indonesian island of lombok. this is the scene a short time ago. the devastation

and destruction has meant thousands are displaced, many don't have shelter, home is completely brought to the ground in that earthquake, the second hitting the island in a week. these are the live scenes as people attempt to go about their morning. just approaching 8:30am. the devastation all around them as the search and rescue operation continues to try to find many people missing after at least 100 people lost their lives. the death toll expected to go up in the coming days. much more on this coming up on bbc world news. hello there. today we see the last of the hot and humid conditions across the south—east before it's all change by the time we reach wednesday. we'll maintain a north—west/south—east split for the next 24 hours,

that's because we've got a weak weather front across northern and western areas, largely clear skies and a very warm and muggy starred in the south—east, skies and a very warm and muggy start in the south—east, whereas further north and west, slightly fresher and there will be more cloud around, perhaps a spot of drizzle and some hill fog too. so it means for tuesday morning it starts off relatively cloudy across many northern and western areas, but the cloud tending to thin and break. sunny spells developing quite widely. will be breezy across the north—west, but again, across the south and east, another hot and sunny day. you can see the deep orange colours unfolding there into the afternoon with highs again 29 to maybe 31 degrees. further west, though, in those yellow colours, it's going to be feeling a little bit cooler. something typical for the time of year, 18 to 22 celsius. and then late on tuesday evening and overnight, we could see a cluster of thundery showers move up from the near continent, grazing past south—east england and east anglia. bit of uncertainty as to how far west these will get, but it's all tied in with this weather front, which is going to continue to move its wake eastwards

during the course of thursday night. and then by wednesday morning, we lose the hot and humid air from the south—east and then we're all into the cooler air mass. so, for wednesday it's going to feel very different to what we've been used to, particularly in the south—east. there will be some sunshine around, but some showers as well, particularly across western areas, some of them could be heavy and thundery. and there's your temperatures, 17 to 24 celsius. a good eight degrees lower in the south—east than what we've been used to on monday and tuesday. 0n into thursday then, most of the showers will be across the north—west corner of the country. sunny spells elsewhere, but there is the chance of some thundery rain moving up from the near continent, again grazing the south—east. but it could stay over the near continent, south—east could stay dry. and again, temperatures around the seasonal average but feeling cooler than what we've been used to. friday not a bad looking day, largely dry. some showers in the north. but then later on in the day, the skies are going to cloud over across western areas with increasing breeze ahead of a weather system. now, this is something we haven't seen much of during the summer period, but it looks like it's going to be quite a vigorous area

of low pressure hurtling in across our shores just in time for the weekend. it could deliver a spell of pretty heavy rain at times, and also strong winds. could be touching gale force. so saturday's looking very unsettled with wet and windy weather moving through. for sunday, though, a little bit brighter with sunshine and showers, but it's going to feel a little bit cooler over the weekend. i'm babita sharma with bbc news. our top story. indonesian officials say nearly 100 people have been killed by sunday's powerful earthquake on lombok island. more than 230 were seriously injured. thousands of people have been left stranded, after a second earthquake hit the holiday island and the surrounding area. thousands more have been left without shelter, president trump reimposes sanctions against iran, following the united states' withdrawal from the nuclear deal. but he said he remained open to striking a new nuclear deal with iran. the iranian president has condemned the move. and this video is trending on bbc.com with walt disney's new live action winnie the pooh film,
