in and around huddersfield. and the british soldiers working to save elephants and rhinos from poachers in malawi. and coming up on bbc news, the ecb's independent investigation to decide if ben stokes will face any further action will get under way after the third test with india. good afternoon and welcome to the bbc news at 0ne. rescue teams in italy are continuing to search for survivors under tonnes of concrete and steel, after a motorway bridge collapsed yesterday in genoa. at least 38 people are known to have died, when dozens of vehicles plunged nearly 150 feet.

the cause of the disaster, which happened during torrential rain, is not yet clear, but questions had been raised about the safety of the bridge. tim willcox is in genoa. two days of official mourning for the dozens of victims of this bridge colla pse the dozens of victims of this bridge collapse just behind me and also mounting anger at what some people here are saying was a disaster waiting to happen with this particular rich. it was built, completed in the 1960s, 1967, but since then, billions of euros have been spent maintaining it and some critics have said it would been cheaper to knock it down than continued to repair it, because it was a bad engineering design. i'm about 200 metres away from where essential pylon, the tower, where

you can see those two yellow cranes are standing now, when it collapsed during the thunderstorm, one eyewitness said that tower was struck by lightning. now, we don't know what caused it to come down, but come down it did, about 120 metres of falling roadway. this motorway used by 25 million vehicles every year came crashing down with 35 vehicles and some lorries on a strip of road as well. gets hit some warehouses and car parks below. through the night, rescue teams have been trying to pull those great blocks of concrete up to find any survivors. initially, they did, but, increasingly, unfortunately, they are only finding bodies now. the police say they are still having hope some people may be found alive. rising political anger also from the

new italian government complaining that because of austerities measures the eu has not released the funding for a massive infrastructure project they say italy needs. let's catch up with all the latest details. this report by michael callan. before and after. genoa's skyline for ever changed. scores of dead and many injured. rescuers worked through the night using infrared cameras, continuing the hopeful search for survivors. speaking this morning, the country's transport minister promised to impose heavy fines on the bridge‘s private operator. dozens are now confirmed to have lost their lives. friends and family have left tributes on the facebook page of roberto, who is thought to have died along with his wife and their son samuel. the response is similar to that of an actual disaster, involving hundreds of firefighters from across italy. armed with sniffer dogs, climbing gearand hope, says the fire brigade spokesperson.

translation: we started moving some of the biggest segments of concrete from the collapsed bridge in order to create new spaces, so our teams can enter and check for other people. in amongst this tragedy are remarkable stories of survival. a 33—year—old goalkeeper, who plays for an amateur side, was rescued from his destroyed car at the bottom of the overpass after plunging over 100 feet. translation: i saw the road collapsing and i went down with it. i was lucky enough to land. i don't even know how because if you saw my car... i didn't pass out. i've remained lucid and called the fire brigade to let them know about the situation and to come and get me. then i called my family. i felt as though a miracle happened. it is a national summer holiday in italy today. but instead of celebrating, a country in mourning is asking questions about how the bridge and five others in the past five years have

suffered similar collapses. but with an enquiry now launched into this disaster, debates will be had about italy's comparatively low investment in infrastructure. for now, though, those discussions can wait, as the country holds its breath in the hope of more survivors being pulled from this catastrophic rubble. michael cowan, bbc news. three properties in the midlands have been searched in connection with the suspected terrorist attack outside the houses of parliament. a man is being questioned for attempted murder, after being earlier arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences. he's understood to be salih khater, a 29—year—old british citizen originally from sudan, who came here in 2010 as a refugee. three people were hurt after a car hit cyclists and pedestrians during the rush hour yesterday morning. jon ironmonger reports. this is salih khater, the driver in

yesterday's suspected terror attack, a 29—year—old british national originally from sudan. he was arrested after the ford fiesta he was in apparently swerved into the path of pedestrians and cyclists on parliament square, injuring three people before crashing into the counterterror barrier. cctv has revealed the car was driven around central london for hours before the incident. salih khater is from birmingham and studied accountancy at coventry university and science at coventry university and science at city college. until a few months ago, he'd been staying above a parade of shops in the sparkbrook area for the those who know him have described him as a good person and a quiet man. he does not talk that much. i know him upstairs. i would see him on the corner. he's a very

quiet man. investigators have completed searches of two properties in birmingham and nottingham after raids yesterday while work at a third address in birmingham is ongoing fulton in london, terra please say they have rearrested salih khaterfor please say they have rearrested salih khater for attempted murder while they continue to ask what, if anything, was his motive. it's thought salih khater was known by police. he was not on the radar of uk intelligence or counterterrorism agencies. he's being held in a south london police station and suspicion of preparing an act of terrorism but was last night refusing to cooperate under questioning. the car was removed from the scene in the early hours this morning and all the cordons in the area have now been lifted. london's mayor has praised the work of the emergency services. tha nkfully the work of the emergency services. thankfully the injuries of the three people who sustained injuries are not too serious fulton clearly they are in our thoughts but the hard work done by the police and others,

the incident wasn't as bad as it could have been. police say there is no reason to suggest they continued danger to the public after yesterday's incident but there will bea yesterday's incident but there will be a heightened presence in london over the coming days as it absorbs the shock of a second suspected attack on parliament in as many yea rs. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford is here. how much more are we learning about the man who is being questioned? we've pieced together a lot of detail now for the was born in sudan and grew up in sudan. his family had told us that he was originally from the da four region of sudan. we got through to his brother, abdullah, and he seems to have at some point between finishing his second degree, spent some time in libya in 2008—10 but he first arrived in britain as a refugee in 2010 and pops up studying the english language in birmingham in 2010 and then it looks as though he was probably working in the security industry for a bit but

certainly started studies again in 2014-17, certainly started studies again in 2014—17, when he studied a diploma in science and then in the last year, a course at coventry university, accountancy, all of which looks like an ambitious young immigrant trying to better himself. no sign of him being drawn towards extremism, certainly his brother abdullah said they'd had never seen any sign of that, he seemed to be a normal person, so the mystery for the police will be what is the motivation if this was a deliberate act, which they still believe it was, what is the motivation for him to drive his car into parliament in the early hours of yesterday morning? all right, daniel, thank you for now. rail fares could rise by 3.2% in january following a slight increase in inflation as measured by the retail price index. the transport secretary says he would like a change, to see ticket prices and wages pegged to the lower measure, the consumer price index, which doesn't include housing costs. the unions say they will press ahead with above inflation pay claims and it is wrong to blame workers for price rises.

caroline davies reports. delays, cancellations, queues, chaos. this year has not been good for train passengers. just a disaster, i don't know what to do with it. it's been cancelled because of lack of drivers. the trains are a nightmare. ticket prices are due to go nightmare. ticket prices are due to 9° up nightmare. ticket prices are due to go up injanuary. today we find out by how much. 40% of train fares are regulated by the government. they cap the amount train fares can go up by next year, using a measure of inflation called the retail price index. rpi. today, that was announced as 3.2%, but the transport secretary has asked rail companies to try to cap it using a different measure of inflation, the consumer prices index, cpi. it is 2.5%. that means a season ticket between london

and brighton costing £3968, would go up and brighton costing £3968, would go up by and brighton costing £3968, would go up by £127 under rpi and £99 and cpi. the rail industry operates with a higher level of inflation calculation that most of the rest of the public sector and society, they pay deals are calculate it, and i'm simply saying the rail industry should behave the same as everyone else. i've started the ball rolling iron by changing some of the things i've control over, and we now need the unions to move their practices toa the unions to move their practices to a different level, as well. many passengers don't want to see price rises, at all. the lower the better but i think they are already extortionate. year by year they put it up. it's making life difficult for normal people like us. it should not go up again. the transport secretary doesn't want to use as low a level of inflation to determine train ticket prices, he wanted to be used to negotiate wages for rail workers. the union to represent the

rail workers don't. we've got privateers making hundreds of millions of pounds a year and extracting it from the system and they want to blame the workers. but they want to blame the workers. but the rail companies say they invest money into making the railways work better. 98p from every pound goes back into running and improving the railway. what we're talking about todayis railway. what we're talking about today is regulated fare increases, set by the government. any move to a different measure of inflation is ultimately a decision the government. the request by the transport secretary is just that, he's not enforcing it. passengers will have to wait and see how their train tickets might be affected. caroline davies, bbc news. so, as we heard there, there was a slight rise in inflation in july. 0ur economics correspondent andy verity is here. these two rates were talking about, rpi are slightly higher than cpi. what's going on here. it sounds geeky but it works out in serious

financial costs, so you have rpi, 3.2% in the year tojuly, and cpi, the official measure which is only 2.596, the official measure which is only 2.5%, you might say to me, that's only 0.8% difference, why is that so important? the answer is compound interest. if you look at it over the yea rs, interest. if you look at it over the years, it makes a difference. if cpi had been used to upgrade railfares rather than rpi, rail fares had been used to upgrade railfares rather than rpi, railfares would now be 17% lower if that had happened since 2004, 17% lower. a la weekly pay has gone up 18% and rail fa res by weekly pay has gone up 18% and rail fares by 42%. there are inconsistencies too because the biggest single austerity measure taken was the government switching from rpi to cpi, the lower measure, to upgrade public sector pensions. that took billions off pensioners and save the government billions and that was just moving between these two geeky indexes of inflation, so it does make a hell of a lot of

difference and yet we have these inconsistencies. rpi is used for rail fares inconsistencies. rpi is used for railfares and inconsistencies. rpi is used for rail fares and also for interest on student loans. all right, andy, thank you. 30 men and one woman have been charged by west yorkshire police with sexual offences, including child rape and trafficking, in connection with crimes alleged to have been committed in the huddersfield area. judith moritz is in huddersfield now. watch more are the police saying? in west yorkshire police say they charged 31 people, 30 men and one woman and offences include rate and trafficking. and they involve girls between 18 and 12 yea rs old they involve girls between 18 and 12 years old and most of the defendants come from huddersfield all the surrounding area nearby with the

exception of a man from north london. most of them are men in their 30s who face charges of between one and five counts of rape and there was a 38—year—old woman who faces separate offences. they will appear before magistrates in huddersfield next to where i am from the fifth and 6th of september. what west yorkshire police have done is to name publicly 19 of those charged but withheld the names of 12 of the defendants for legal reasons, they cannot publicly be named at the moment. thank you. the roman catholic church in the us state of pennsylvania has apologised after it was found to have covered up the widespread sexual abuse of children. an official report revealed that more than 1,000 children were groomed, molested and raped by more than 300 priests over a 70—year period and it said that people who protected paedophile priests were often promoted. our top story this lunchtime.

at least 38 people are now known to have died after a motorway bridge collapsed in the italian city of genoa yesterday. and coming up — studying for success. the rise in popularity of btecs. we report from a college where students have been picking up their results. coming up on bbc news, celtic manager brendan rodgers criticises the club's lack of spending as they miss out on the lucrative group stage of the champions league. 20 years ago today, a bomb exploded on a shopping street, on a saturday afternoon, in the town of 0magh. it was the worst single attack in the long conflict in northern ireland — killing 29 people, and two unborn children. people in 0magh will commemorate

the anniversary this afternoon in a series of events, as our ireland correspondent emma vardy reports. as if in permanent remembrance, 0magh exists each day under the shadow of this terrible atrocity. many here are still coping with the consequences of the bomb which was detonated on the town's main high street. i'll never forget the last time i saw aidan. he walked out of the kitchen and looked back and says, "i'll not be long." michael gallagher's son aidan had gone to town that day to buy a pairofjeans. the sound of the bomb, which detonated at ten past three, could be heard from miles away. we could see a pall of smoke rising. you couldn't tell exactly where it was, but it was in the town centre direction. the longer that we had no word from aidan, we became more concerned. aidan never returned home. he was one of 29 people killed that day,

including a woman who was pregnant with twins. this afternoon families will gather for what will be the final annual commemoration of the 0magh bomb. the attack was claimed at the time by a breakaway republican group known as the real ira. but despite thousands of hours of investigation, and many arrests, there have never been any criminal convictions for these killings. believe me, we would love to solve this horrible crime and bring people tojustice. and if new evidence emerges, we will grab that with both hands, or if new technology or science allows us to harvest more evidence from the 2200 exhibits we have, we will apply that, we will exploit that in the interest of getting justice for the families. some have given up hope of finding answers. but others like michael gallagher have campaigned to try to bring about a public enquiry. we feel that there needs to be

answers, even 20 years on. this was a crime that every sane person in ireland would have wanted to see the people responsible for behind bars. today the focus will be on those whose lives were taken in this attack, and 0magh's survivors, who live with the loss. emma vardy, bbc news, 0magh. top executive pay has leapt by 11% in the last year — taking the average salary to nearly £4 million. a study by the high pay centre and the chartered institute for personnel and development says the bosses of the top companies quoted on the london stock exchange were paid on average 145 times more than their employees. jonty bloom has the details. for the average bricklayer, a £4 million pay packet would feel like a

lottery win. for the boss of one of the largest house—builders, it is small change. the chief executive of persimmon took home a massive £47 million in pay and bonuses last year. the latest figures show he is in good company with an 11% pay rise the average for top executives last year, taking home almost £4 million each on average, compared with a pay rise of just 2.7% each on average, compared with a pay rise ofjust 2.7% on the average british worker. in the late 1990s, the ftse100 ceo would be paid something like 60, 70 times the average uk worker and it is now more like 160 times. it is difficult to find evidence to support that. had last month shareholders at royal mail voted against a huge pay rise for their boss but the vote was not binding and the company ignored it

but some companies try to buck the trend. we capped remuneration at 20 times the pay of the lowest paid. why do we do it? equals business is not just for the shareholders why do we do it? equals business is notjust for the shareholders and directors but for society at large. it has meant that people are queueing up to join it has meant that people are queueing up tojoin us. it has meant that people are queueing up to join us. some believe top earners are worth every penny. they are able to pick and choose different people which means companies are better managed. 0ne cause of low productivity is poor management and companies that are better managed tend to make better productive deep game. not all top pay packets are bubbling over. even in topjobs, women earn half of pay packets are bubbling over. even in top jobs, women earn half of what men do. many people will be depending on exam results out this week as they embark on the next stage of their life, but traditional a—levels are not the only route. thousands of students have been getting their btec results today. they're vocational qualifications which can also be used to gain entry to university courses. steph mcgovern has spent the morning with students at gateshead college.

so, sarah, does that mean you've passed ? oh, wow. so, do you start a job? yes. i start at the salon next week. congratulations. when it comes to education, it is not all about gcses and a—levels. these are some of the millions of people studying vocational qualifications, and it is everything from robotics, catering, performing arts, engineering, hairdressing. we have sport and health and social care to name a few. last year 5.1 million people in england did gcses. 1.5 million did a—level or a/s—levels and 3.8 million people did vocational qualifications. so you guys all did btecs. why did you decide that? i want to be a midwife, so i thought health and social care would be perfect for me because it gives a lot of experience on the health side. and that was important for you?

yes. i want to go in cyber security. so one day i'll be teaching primary school children how to programme robots. the next day we would be making at led displays. was it hard ? it was a little bit but for me i found with assessments easier than sitting exams. you are doing sport, how are you assessed? the course involves things like sports psychology and nutrition. we did work experience. i did tennis coaching. you have a job interview off the back of your course. what have you been doing? i was doing a btec level three in media, video games design. we had to learn about all sorts. computer mechanics, coding, art, pretty much everything. it is a varied course. what will you do next? i'm going to northumbria university to study to become a midwife, which has always been a passion of mine. i can see the excitement on your face as your chatting! what are you going to do next? i'm going to durham university and doing sport, exercise and physical activity.

you are off to university, as well? yes, off to northumbria, as well. i'm going to do computer networking and cyber security. whether they are off to uni or straight into a job, employers say this type of qualification with its work experience and practical skills are crucial. steph mcgovern, bbc news, gateshead. a year ago, the scottish government introduced the baby box scheme. they're given to parents of every newborn, and contain items including clothing, books and a play mat, as well as doubling up as a sleeping space. more than 50,000 boxes have been delivered in that time, at a cost of £8 million — but critics say the government support should target the people most in need, rather than every family. catriona renton's report contains some flash photography. it's time for a rest for five—week—old baby grace. but this is not her bed. it's her baby box. for the past year, the scottish government has been offering them to all babies born here, packed with essentials like clothes and nappies.

and for grace, a useful refuge from her older siblings. when it arrived i was surprised by how much stuff was in there. really useful and practical things, as well as some nice clothes and just, you know, everything that you forget you need, but you really need at the beginning of having a baby. this morning, at an event at the scottish museum of childhood in edinburgh, a box and its contents were preserved for future generations to see. at a cost of £160 each to produce, more than 52,000 have rolled off the production line in the last year. so far, the scottish government has spent almost £9 million on them. audrey runs this baby and family support service in glasgow. it works like a food bank. 0riginally it was set up to help people with all things new babies need. in here, we have some prams, car seats. the baby box is a nice idea, but we don't live in a world

where nice is needed. personally, i would have preferred to have seen the money that's being invested in baby boxes, being invested in somehow helping these parents to achieve, you know, these big necessities that are too expensive for most of them. it's notjust what's in the box. while there has been some controversy, the royal college of midwives say the benefits of giving a baby its own sleep space is likely to reduce the risks associated with unsafe co—sleeping. they want the scheme introduced throughout the uk. catriona renton, bbc news. the existence of the rhino is under threat because of poaching of their valuable horns. tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year for their ivory tusks. now british soldiers have been deployed to malawi, to help rangers tackle the illegal trade. james waterhouse was given exclusive access tojoin them. an animal checkup with high stakes. lance—corporaljamie knox is one

of 14 british soldiers in malawi, working with local rangers. today, they're tracking black rhino, to both check on their health and make sure poachers aren't taking a similar interest. it's 50—50 whether they will stand back and run away, orjust charge straight at you. so, it's pretty dangerous, yeah. after a near miss, they get their picture. in the last 50 years malawian rhino numbers have dropped from 70,000 to 5500. the elephant population has halved in the last 30 years as well. right now, this deterrent, along with the money starting to get generated through tourism, is working. there have been no recorded poachings in this area for more than a year. but conservationists say they are already preparing for a new growing threat that is happening right across africa — international organised crime. it's powered by a wealthy black market in mostly asian countries

like china and vietnam. there's been a recent surge of poaching in neighbouring countries. but for now malawi seems to be holding out. malawi is still one of the poorest countries in the world though, and historically people have killed animals to either make a small bit of money orjust to eat. translation: i became a poacher in 1995. we used to make guns, so we'd go into the game reserve with our traditionally made guns and kill the animals. we didn't have food in our homes. so the only option which we had was to go and poach the game reserve. however, critics say this type of armed response is only part of what's needed. i think training and capacity building and building the skills of rangers is a great thing. i'm quite sceptical of the use of the military in training rangers,

especially the use of a foreign military that doesn't necessarily know the context in which they are operating. and that is not trained in conservation. the british army claims it is helping local people benefit from living alongside these beautiful animals. ministers are hoping to announce a similar deployment in africa later this year. poaching, however, is a problem far from being solved. james waterhouse, bbc news in malawi. didn't agree and just to tell you you can see more of this programme as part of newsbeat‘s documentary which is available on the iplayer. now, let's take a look at the weather prospects. louise lear has joined me. there has been a bit of
