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 cloud around today, a little bit disappointing. we are starting to see some sunny disappointing. we are starting to see some sunny breaks coming

through, a beautiful day for taking the dog for a walk on the beach i suspect. out of the cloud is in the north and west and it is enough to produce some rain at the moment as well. if you are lucky enough to be ina sunny well. if you are lucky enough to be in a sunny area it will be feeling quite pleasant at the moment. the emphasis is with what's happening further north and west as we go through the end of the day. the cloud and rain will gather and it is going to push some wet weather gci’oss going to push some wet weather across england and wales overnight. some heavy rain to higher ground. 50 some useful grain for gardeners and growers through the night. is going to prevent to purchase from falling very far. —— useful rain. that fresher weather set to arrive for all of us tomorrow. but there will be some rain first and in the morning. if we look at that in a little more detail, through the midlands, east anglia and the south—east of england, arriving here into the london area by lunchtime. brighter behind it with some sunny spells. further north we're seeing a

scattering of showers, some of them heavy and possibly thundery and quite breezy as well. that will be making it feel a bit fresher, too. temperatures down on what we are expecting today. we keep those isobars squeezed together by the end of thursday into friday, so it still stays quite breezy. we have still got this mobile westerly story allowing these fronts to push in from the atlantic. 50, into friday it looks likely that we will see gusts of wind up to aomph, if not too strong, but noticeable. it will make it feel on the cheery side. the best of the sunshine again will be in sheltered southern and eastern areas. temperatures perhaps a degree or $0 areas. temperatures perhaps a degree orso up. areas. temperatures perhaps a degree or so up. that westerly flow is set to new into the weekend. it looks likely that the wettest of

the weather will be a bit further north. it will stay quite breezy as well until the second half of the weekend! that is all from the news at once so on bbc one we will now join the bbc‘s news teens wherever you are. good afternoon. it's 1.30pm and here's your latest sports news. despite making an immediate return to england's test squad, ben stokes must wait to see if he will face any further action by the ecb. having been cleared of affray, an independent investigation by cricket's disciplinary commission will assess if he'll be sanctioned for bringing the game into disrepute. the bbc‘s cricket corrspondent jonathan agnew has more. as i understand it the chairman of the board and the chief executive

are going to go and see stokes before anything else happens and work out where they go from here and where stokes goes from here. he has a management team of his own and i would be hoping that they would be saying, listen, if you've got to sort yourself out, this can't carry on. it is the firebrand nature that makes him the cricketer that he is. on the field it is jailed and focused on bowling or batting or whatever it might be. but clearly there is an issue away from the cricket field that he has to address. what will happen in this hearing is that the cricket this is that the cricket disciplinary commission, which is independent of the board, will look at that footage and everything else around it, notjust the a cctv, which will be around for ever, of course, and they have to decide whether or not on that night the game was brought into disrepute,

whether or not the image of that is right for the game. i know there is some discussion on social media, saying he is not guilty so that should be the end of it, well, that is not how it works. as a former cricketer myself i know that you sign contract clauses in which you say that you will not bring the game into disrepute. it's the image thing, it's kids, the whole business of how sport works. and that is why there is this disciplinary process. and i would be surprised if both he and alex hales are not found to have brought the game into disrepute. celtic boss brendan rodgers says it's "not rocket science" to say celtic should have strengthened this summer. it's after a costly night for the club in which they missed out on a place in the group stage of the champions league. they were knocked out of the qualifying round by aek athens, 2—1 on the night, 3—2 on aggregate. they'll now go into a play off for a place in the europa league. one other football line, wilfried zaha has signed a new contract he's been regularly linked with a move away from selhurst park, but has committed himself to the club until 2023. kyle edmund is out of

the cincinatti masters. the british number one lost in the second round in straight sets to the canadian denis shapovalov. serena williams is also out, she lost to petra kvitova. the england and worcester centre ben te‘o says his injury problems left him contemplating his future in rugby. the 31—year—old had just recovered from a serious ankle injury when he missed england's tour of south africa because of a thigh problem. he's now targeting a return in the early part of the new season. you want to do everything you can to get back. i've come back from some tough injuries and once you're back, it's brilliant but the time off is tough. and when you're off and you're working hard and people just ask, where are you? why aren't you playing? yeah, sometimes it can be like, i would love to make this go quicker but i can't. sometimes it can go back—to—back to back, if the same sometimes it can go

back—to—back to back, the same as a few other boys here, if you just can't get away from it. i'm praying and i'm hoping that i can get fit and playing and it doesn't come back. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. back now to our main story, and rescue teams in italy are still searching for the survivors of a collapsed motorway bridge in genoa. officials say at least 38 people were killed yesterday. the prime minister has called for safety checks on similar viaducts across italy. earlier my colleague joanna gosling spoke to the journalist andrea vogt, who has been talking to emergency crews in genoa. actually i just spoke to the head of the fire brigade here in italy and he told me they are not hearing

any more sounds of life. the rescue is continuing. there are a multitude of technologies being used, including hydraulic cranes. you can see the cranes in the distance just over there, where the sheared—off bridge is, where the mountain of rubble is. they're focusing their search there but it is looking like there are no longer any audible signs of life coming from the debris. are there concerns about the safety of the structure that remains? absolutely, they're taking every precaution. of course, engineers haven't had a chance yet to determine how safe the bridge is, because they're focusing on trying to save the lives underneath. but clearly as you can see it's just been sheared off, it's not stable, it will probably be months before they can repair this section of motorway, which is a very important strategic part of the italian france connection and the ports. it's going to be a huge economic hit for all of italy,

aside from the obvious loss of life here. and as questions continue to be asked about why it collapsed, there are lots of questions about what was actually being done in terms of maintaining the bridge and making repairs to the infrastructure to ensure it's safe — tell us more about the criticisms of the firm that was running that toll road? well, there are a lot of fingers being pointed, all of the top political officials here in italy are saying, we will get to the bottom of this, we will find out of this, we will find out who's responsible. there was a big meeting today between the prime minister who is here, the transport minister is here, and the interior minister. so i think it is too early to say what might have exactly caused it. obviously, maintenance, a decaying bridge that had been flagged before for its engineering inefficiencies, but it is too early to say. i will say the prime minister, i was with him today at the hospital nearby. he was there to visit the survivors,

so there are a few hopeful stories for survivors, who are now recovering from very severe injuries at the hospital. what is the wider reaction to what has happened here? shock and anger. i spoke to many people here in genoa who are angry. obviously, they are in mourning but they say, we've been saying for years that this bridge is dangerous and needs to be replaced and so there is a lot of anger in italy, feeling like they've been abandoned for the last ten years, the infrastructure is now crumbling and something has to be done. so it's a difficult moment politically for this new government. a lot of anger pulsing through genoa but italy as a whole, why did this happen? what about similar structures elsewhere, will people be feeling concerned about whether there may be similar issues for other constructions? absolutely, this is not the first viaduct to have problems in recent years. they've now called for a review

of all of the overpasses and motorways to look at the structural safety issues. but i think there is a sense of, are we safe? are we safe going about our everyday business? i talked to one man whose wife and daughter were hit as they were walking under the bridge to go to ikea, they were going to a couple of stores and the bridge just fell on top of them as they were walking beneath it. they were going about their everyday lives, whole families' lives were taken while they were headed to the beach. so there's a sense that daily life has been interrupted by the fragility of italy's infrastructure at this point. andrea, thank you very much. ajudge in new mexico has received death threats after granting bail to five adults arrested at a desert compound where officers found i! starving children and the buried remains of a toddler. judge sarah backus said the prosecution had not

convinced her the defendants were a threat to the community. following the ruling, the courthouse went into lockdown. brittney bade from cbs news reports. smiles and hugs in court today asjudge sarah c backus told asjudge sarah c backus ruled all five adults charged with child abuse do not have to stay injail until trial. if you have been in new mexico for any period of time you are aware that many people here live in unconventional ways. the judge referring to this filthy compound in northern taos county, where i! starving children in the body of a small boy were found last week. an fbi investigator testified that body belongs to three—year—old abdul, whose father siraj wahhaj and his wife jany leveille believed the boy was possessed. the rituals were to expel demons. special agent travis taylor said adults and children were involved in the rituals and said they happened often,

until one february day. during this ritual, abdul passed out and siraj placed his hand on his chest and could not feel a heartbeat. everyone at the compound prayed to abdul‘s body and the children work told that abdul would be resurrected and come back asjesus. asjesus, leveille said abdul would tell them which "corrupt institutions" to get rid of. these institutions included teachers, military, law enforcement... the defence argued there was no proof of this and that owning an arsenal of high—powered weapons like the ones found on the compound and teaching kids to use them isn't illegal. we have one death child already under the care of these individuals. the state argued all five defendants are a danger to the entire community but the judge didn't agree. a woman from north—west london has become a household name in pakistan,

after starring in some of the country s biggest tv dramas over the past two years. kubra khan has been cast in two of three pakistani films releasing next week to coincide with the islamic festival of eid. haroon rashid has been speaking to kubra here in london. kubra khan swapped harrow for karachi at the age of 19, when she was approached to star in a pakistani movie. five years on, she's one of the biggest tv and film stars in the country, and has two movies releasing on the same day this coming eid. it turns out, though, her mum was apprehensive about her moving nearly 5000 miles away to pursue a career in acting. i remembertelling her, "i'm going to do a drama in pakistan." she was like, "ok, that's fine." for 11 months i kept saying that. "like mum, do you think i should just move there? because like i'm working quite a bit, i don't get a single day off. i only come home for five days anyways. and i'd still do the same thing,

but at least i would be at peace of mind in my own place." she was very supportive about it. there must have been a sense of validation when you were offered a role in two of this eid's big releases? in many ways, you'd accomplished what you'd set out to achieve? there was a sense of achievement when i was doing the movies. it was more stressful when i found out they were releasing them on eid together. i was like, "what am i going to do? how am i going to promote?" but of course there are three movies coming out, and two of them are my movies. lam proud. my mother is very proud, and she's hardly ever proud of me! you grew up in this country here in london, but you moved to a country that's perceived in western media as being oppressive towards women. were you afraid about those perceptions? i think my perceptions changed the second i stepped into pakistan. because i spent my entire life here. i always thought pakistanis would be like closed minded people. i'll be honest, i was a littlejudgmental. but when i got there everyone was so much more modern, everyone was so much more open—minded. life of a woman in pakistan

is, i wouldn't say is definitely not, but it's not half as bad as it's shown on tv. what about the quality of life that you've sacrificed here in london, in exchange for your new base, which is karachi? the first 11 months i stayed in guesthouses and hotels, and i would work 15 hours, come back to a dark room and i would get really, really depressed. but it's ok because i have a very few number who i can call mine. so if i get too lonely i can bejust like, "i'm upset, talk to me!" like, "i'm sad, talk to me!" i must ask you, what do you miss most about living in the uk? you know you miss the uk when you start missing the tubes. i hated the tube but now i'm like, "i miss the tube." and my mum is like, "are you normal?" i'm like, "i don't know!" with both of kubra's eid releases predicted to do big business at the box office, it's likely she'll continue her dream run in pakistan for the foreseeable future. in a moment we'll have all the business news. but first, the headlines on bbc news.

rescuers in northern italy continue to search for survivors after the collapse of a motorway viaduct in genoa. at least 38 people are known to have died. police investigating yesterday's westminster incident say they're now questioning 29—year—old salih khater on suspicion of attempted murder, as well as questioning him on terror offences. detectives charge 3! people with offences including rape and trafficking, after an investigation into sexual offences against children in the huddersfield area. i'm ben bland. in the business news... prices for goods and services on average rose faster injuly than in the month before. inflation was at 2.5%. it was pushed up by higher transport costs. it's the first time that inflation has risen since november.

pay for chief executives of the uk's top companies it means the average wage for the boss of ftse 100 company was almost £4 million. the rise is much higher than average wage increases for workers. the highest total payout was £47.1million. jeff fairburn took that home, he's the boss of persimmon. the rise came despite criticism from investors and government about excessive salaries, about excessive salaries. would you recommend your bank to a friend or relative? on that measure, rbs came bottom of a league table along wtih clydesdale bank. fewer than half their customers would recommend them. the competition and markets authority asked people about their satisfaction with customer service, online and mobile banking, overdrafts and services in branches. first direct, which is owned by hsbc, came top with 85% of its customers feeling satisfied. how much do you pay for your season ticket, if you commute to work by train?

well, whatever the figure now, train ticket prices are pretty likely to go up again injanuary. today we've found out by how much. we now know, they could rise by upto 3.2%. that is based on the latest inflation data. and that will push the price of some season tickets up by hundreds of pounds. it follows a 3.6% hike in january this year, the steepest rise in five years. and fare increases could far outstrip any rise in salaries. on tuesday, we found out that average earnings, excluding bonuses, rose by 2.7% for the three months to june compared with a year earlier. liz martins is chief uk economist at hsbc. she explained the difference between cpi and rp! for us earlier. cpi inflation is lower, so i mean it is a lower cost. and some things have

moved from rpi to cpi. but a lot of things still use the older rpi index. from an economic perspective it does make sense to use the newer one. however, clearly if the prices are still going up by 3% and wages are going up by 2%, then consumers or wage earners are losing out. the average pay packet for the boss of a ftse 100 company went up to almost 4 million pounds last year. that's a rise of ii%. and much higher than average workers' wage increases of 2.7%. there's been criticism from investors, unions and government about excessive salaries. the hr industry group the chartered institute of personnel and development also found bosses' pay was on average 145 times more than their employees. joining us now is luke hildyard, director of the high pay centre. grosicki

director of the high pay centre. is good to have yo| us. grosicki is good to have you with us. so, what is behind this rise? well, i think a lot of it is to do with biases and conflicts of interest in the pacesetting process. now, the way executive pay is set is that you have a remuneration committee comprised of other executives who are employed, nonexecutive directors, to set the pay of the chief executive and the top management team. now, the remuneration committee, being as they themselves are all executives oi’ they themselves are all executives or business leaders or a former business leaders and executives, if are instinctively sympathetic to the idea that the skies need to be paid, you know, millions of pounds in order to attract and retain them. —— the skies. of course their own pay as executives is partly indirectly determined by the going rate for other executives so they are inclined to drive it up as much as possible as well. but on that point, if you want to attract the very best

and get people in who have got the skills to grow the company, get it bringing in more money so that it can then give employees and workers a wage rise, don't you need to pay the big sums to attract and keep the very best at the top? well, firstly i would be slightly worried by anyone who is doing a big job, a strategically important job at anyone who is doing a big job, a strategically importantjob at a big company, who was only there for the money. i think people in practice are more motivated by the responsibility, the status that comes with that. secondary, the evidence that you need to pay these huge sums of money in order to attract and retain top talent, so—called top talent, is quite thin. we looked at the career histories of the top 500 ceos of the top 500 global companies and we found that less tha n global companies and we found that less than i% had poached their chief executive from an international rival. so the idea that if we

distributed pay a bit more evenly between the highest—paid workers, those in the middle and at the bottom, weed sequels key executives, business leaders, flooding overseas, that doesn't quite stand up to scrutiny. —— we'd see the executive. but there is a safety catch on this, isn't there, because if the shareholders really don't like the amounts being proposed to pay the top sues, they can veto it at the agm, can't they? sure come and some shareholders have been doing that, some shareholders have been very critical of top pay practices. they tend to be the ones who are uk—based for the types who are managing our pension funds or our savings for later life and have an interest in sustainable, cohesive, uk economy over the long—term. unfortunately we have a lot of shareholders who are very short—term, who are not based in this country and aren't really

interested in its sustained prosperity. a lot of us investors, a lot of hedge funds who are more interested in volatility than in sta ble interested in volatility than in stable company performance and they don't really hold the companies they invest in to account. and that means that you can get these very large pay increases through without too much scrutiny or accountability or challenge. thank you very much for joining us. the uk's top share index steadied as a fall across mining stocks capped gains driven by good company results, with glaxosmithkline a standout riser. global markets more broadly have been hit by the financial crisis in turkey, though both the ftse and european markets have stabilised. in london a rise among uk health stocks provided the biggest boost to the index, led by a jump for britain's biggest

drug maker glaxosmithkline. however, gains were limited by a fall across heavyweight mining stocks, with shares in rio tinto, bhp billiton, glencore and antofagasta all down as the price of copper fell to its lowest level in more than a year. the pound is recovering a little bit against the dollar. that's all the business news. much more coming up from italy, we will keep you up—to—date following the appalling collapse of a bridge yesterday. at least 38 people are known to have died. now it's time for a look at the weather, with louise lear. hello. today has not been quite so straightforward for many of us. we started off with clarity skies and the best of the breaks in the cloud have been further south and east. as you can see by this weather watcher

picture from east sussex. quite a lot of cloud, particularly further north and west. and that has brought some rain with it as well. for the remainder of the day of the best of the sunshine we will see the best of the warmth, with highest values perhaps into the mid—20s. further north and west, the cloud the breeze, a little bit cooler and fresher. it looks like that rain will continue to push south and east overnight, so some welcome rain for gardeners and growers across much of england and wales. and it's not going to be quite as cold a night here. further north and west of it clearer skies, io—ii. let's take a look at the rain in more detail. it will steadily push south and east and into the afternoon it will be sitting across parts of lincolnshire, east anglia and down into the london area. some sunshine behind but a scattering of showers into the afternoon. frequent showers in scotland and quite breezy as well. temperatures, a little more subdued generally on thursday. behind the rain introducing something a little bit fresher. 15-19. those fronts will move through.

the isobars stay squeezed together in the north—west so friday will continue to be a breezy day. yet more weather fronts waiting out in the atlantic. i suspect on friday we will see gusts of wind up to 40mph up in the north—west. it will make it feel fresher. hopefully the cloud will continue to break up further south and as a result we will get to see something warmer. that westerly atlantic influence still with us for the start of the weekend. with still yet more weather fronts knocking on the door. there is a level of uncertainty aboutjust where the rain is likely to be sitting at the weekend. but at the moment it looks likely to be a little bit further north. so yes, there will be some rain around and winds will continue to be a feature into the weekend but the best of the sunshine looks likely to be further south and east.

hello, you're watching afternoon live — i'm simon mccoy. today at 2: a race against time as rescuers search the rubble for survivors in the genoa motorway bridge disaster. 39 people are dead. translation: from the moment of the incident we've been working to try and find survivors. we never ceased throughout the night. there are 400 firefighters at work. we've inspected all the areas that we could access without heavy equipment. police continue to question a 29 year old man after the suspected terrorist attack in westminster. he's been named as salih khater, who came to britain as a refugee from sudan. rail fares are likely to go up 3.2% next year, as inflation rises slightly — but the government wants to change the measure used to calculate increases. coming up on afternoon live all the sport withjohn watson.
