6:31 pm
pushing into central and southern scotland, parts of northern england and northern parts of wales. to the north of that, it will stay dry with some clear spells, and that will allow the temperatures to fall away. a few patches of mist perhaps. further south though, a fairly close, humid night with temperatures between 13 and 17 celsius. tomorrow then, some bright or sunny spells in the far north of scotland, one or two showers possible. an improving picture though as that rain works its way towards the east. but having cleared northern ireland by dawn, there will be some brighter intervals developing. a good deal of cloud, though, across much of england and wales. that cloud could be thick enough for the odd spot of rain or drizzle. there will be the odd bright interval, temperatures at a maximum of around 23 celsius. hello this is bbc news. the headlines. kofi annan, the first black african to become un secretary—general — has died at the age of 80. the highlight of his two terms in office came in 2001 when he was awarded the nobel peace prize. a huge rescue mission is under way to save thousands of people stranded by floods in the indian state of kerala. more than 320 people have died —

in the worst monsoon season for a century. now on bbc news it's time for sportsday. thank you, good evening. thank you, good evening, we'll have more on an extraordinary game at stamford bridge in just a moment — 2—all the score there between and chelsea and arsenal. but before that, tottenham's harry kane has finally ended his run of having never scored in august as his side beat fulham 3—1 at wembley to make it two wins from two at the start
6:33 pm
of the premier league season. lucas moura scored his first premier league goal, before fulham equalised. kieron trippier produced the moment of the match with a superb free kick in the second half before kane finally broke his august duck. some positive news then for tottenham in a week in which the club's stadium delays have made plenty of headlines. 0bviously obviously i know about it, people like to talk about it but for me i said before as a straker you go for spells were you are scoring everything you touch turns to gold and sometimes they don't. it always seems to be august that they don't for me. nice to score today and another day i might have had a hat trick. always room for improvement and that's what i will try to do. west ham spent £90 million on new players this summer, they had little impact as they lost their first home game of the season losing 2—1 to bournemouth. callum wilson and steve cook cancelling out marko arnaoutivch's opening goalfrom the penalty spot. it's back to back defeats for new manager manuel pellegrini.
6:34 pm
i think every team is reliant on their creative players as centre forwards and i thought all those players on our team functioned well in the second half, and rewritten to score more than expected the chances we did not take. that's a really good sign for the future because we have come here and scored two goals. we did deserve to win the came under a lot of pressure and the second half of the great response. after his double last weekend everton‘s record signing richarlison scored again as they beat southampton 2—1. danny ings scored his first goal for the visitors since his move from liverpool.. jamie vardy was sent off for leicester who beat wolves 2—0 on what was a good day for manager claude puel. the england striker lunging in on wolves defender matt doherty. it was doherty‘s own—goal which gave the former champions the lead before that man summer signing james maddison, scored on his home debut. there was another red card as newcastle missed an injury time

6:35 pm
penalty to draw 0—0 at cardiff. brazilian kenedy had his 95th minute spotkick saved by neil etheridge. it was a really bad afternoon for kenedy who could face retrospective action for kicking out at an opponent in the first half. he was lucky to stay on the pitch. it was though his team—mate isaac hayden who was sent off for a dangerous challenge. i have a lot of things that i would like to analyse, but i will not talk about the referee. what about the penalty? we saw jailed about the referee. what about the penalty? we sawjailed tog about last season was there any benefit of kennedy taking it presented the first one was it in the second one was kennedy. there was a poor penalty. we know that was a poor penalty. we know that was a poor penalty. so he is distraught
6:36 pm
understandably? he is not happy because he missed the chance but we win asa because he missed the chance but we win as a team, we draw as the team and we lose as a team. perhaps the biggest game of the day is the last one, and what a game its turning out to be at stamford bridge where chelsea are drawing with arsenal 2—2. a terrific game, into the second half there, pedro and morata with the goals for mauricio sarri's side, henrik mkitaryan and iwobi pulling arsenal level before the break. and in scotland celtic put a difficult week behind them as they reached the quarterfinals of the scottish league cup with a 3—1victory at partick thistle. brendan rodgers' side took an early lead through striker leigh griffiths. andrea mbuyi—mutombo levelled for the championship hosts with 17 minutes left. but two goals in two minutes from moussa dembele and this effort from tom rogic ensured celtic‘s safe passage through to the next round. away from the football,

6:38 pm
through to finish second behind shaunne miller—uibo, who is the olympic a00m champion, she hasn't been beaten this year. dina delighted though with her performance against that very tough opposition. obviously i want to, but on a good racer for the home crowd because i love competing in front of home and a better. i'm so tired, i'm so tired. it was such high calibre, it was like being in the elliptic finals, so i'm really happy ifinished the race. i was like, good to go back and sleep. obviously as going to turn up and do my best in the moment today. european 1500 metre champion laura muir won the women's1000m — as she was attempting to beat dame kelly holmes' 21—year old british record — which she missed by around one and a half seconds. in the 100 metres mens final it took a photo finish to separate the winner — american christain coleman — and britain's reece prescod
6:39 pm
who finished second. look how close that is, both clocking the same time of 9.94 seconds. mark johnston has equalled the all—time record number of british winners for a racehorse trainer. the horse dr richard kimble won at ripon to give johnston his 4,193rd victory, reaching the mark set by richard hannon senior. johnston trained his first winner way back in 1987 and his victories have earned £53 million in prize money. quick update from the premier league — chelsea and arsenal 2—2 a few mintes into the second half. we'll have the result and a full round up in sportsday in around an hours time. hello.
6:40 pm
world leaders have been paying tribute to kofi annan, who has died at the age of 80. the ordering physician for ten years and won the nobel peace prize in 2001. the current secretary—general described in today as a guiding force for good. james robbins look back at his life and there are some flashing images in his report. this office book and left one diplomat from ghana was sworn in lead the united nations back in 1996. already hugely respected figure but this was an age of relative innocence. 9/11 was still five years away and the iraq war was seven five years away and the iraq war was seve n years five years away and the iraq war was seven years in the future. of saddam hussein by george bush and tony blair without the support of the un security council. kofi annan later called it illegal. i think, as secretary—general,
6:41 pm
i did everything i could, conscious of what the results would be, you know, and being powerless to stop it. i mean, i did work with quite a lot of heads of states in their capitals, on the phone and elsewhere, working with the inspectors, but the die was cast, and nothing could stop it. kofi annan had much greater success in his home continent, africa, building global consensus behind the un millennium development goals, a huge initiative to reduce poverty and disease and increase education and opportunity. that and kofi annan‘s work on aids was rewarded with the nobel peace prize in 2001. i think he took the world into the modern age, i think he was the first leader of the 21st century, and he tried to build an international community where countries would work together, cooperate freely, and tackle what he saw as the biggest problems — poverty, inequality, climate change
6:42 pm
and, of course, conflict. last april, celebrating his 80th birthday, kofi annan told the bbc his style was to be patient, quiet and determined — in the face of forceful, often far louder national leaders. leadership is not about the individual. when you have macho leaders who believe they have to shine, and it all has to be about them, forgetting that what is required is the welfare of society and the people they serve. tributes to kofi annan from every continent praise his humility, nobility and unshakeable commitment to work for peace in a more equal and sustainable world. kofi annan, who's died at the age of 80. the indian government is stepping efforts to rescue thousands of people stranded by heavy flooding in the southern state of kerala. the prime minister, narendra modi, has been seeing for himself some of the worst—hit areas and is promising more military help
6:43 pm
in the relief effort. more than 320 people have died in kerala since the rainy season began injune, and more than 300,000 have been made homeless. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye reports from kerala. local fishermen doing what they can to help. boats are needed more than ever before in this coastal state to rescue those who are stranded. more than a0 rivers crisscross kerala, and all of them are overflowing. this is the kadalundi. it's left homes and trees submerged. as the water started rising, people fled to safety. some have returned to see what they can salvage. we're nearly a kilometre from the river that flooded, but even so water levels are this high, you can see the house behind me, and in fact i'm standing on a slope — if i were to go further, it would be even deeper.
6:44 pm
but at least people are able to reach up to this point. beyond, there are many parts that are simply inaccessible. those who've been rescued are spending their nights in places like these — schools converted into relief camps. there are about 200 families here. this woman spent two nights on a neighbour's rooftop before a boat reached her. she tells me they were afraid that the house would collapse. india's prime minister, narendra modi, surveyed the devastation from a helicopter. he's promised more manpower and equipment. and it's notjust floods that have wreaked havoc. heavy rain has also caused mudslips. in this house alone, nine people were killed. with bridges broken and roads caved in, some areas remain cut off. yogita limaye, bbc news, in kerala. an investigation‘s under way into claims a cadet was waterboarded at the sandhurst
6:45 pm
military academy in berkshire. the sun newspaper is reporting that earlier this month two trainee officers allegedly pinned down a fellow recruit and poured water over a cloth covering his face. thousands of people have attended a state funeral in italy for some of the victims of tuesday's motorway bridge collapse. the archbishop of genoa told mourners the tragedy had created a deep gash in the heart of the city. some families reportedly stayed away because of anger at the government. the number of dead has now risen to a3. from genoa, james reynolds reports. the campi corniglianese amateur football team came to this state funeral to mourn their youngest squad member, 22—year—old marius djerri. translation: we are very sad for him and his family. he was one of us. we are bitter and angry. these thoughts charged much of this ceremony. some families,
6:46 pm
angered by the collapse, decided to hold private burials instead. families, politicians and members of the public have come together here, but a single ceremony won't be enough to resolve the profound arguments over the collapse of the bridge. italy's interior minister, the populist matteo salvini, has promised that he'll find the names of those responsible for the disaster. "we will speak through our actions," he told us after the funeral. relief workers are now securing every part of the ruined bridge. the company which operated this structure has now expressed its deep sympathy for the victims. but it's stopped short of apologising for the collapse. the technical situation is so complex that it's up to the, i mean, justice to understand what happened and why and under which conditions.
6:47 pm
those investigations have now begun. it may take many months before italians are given the answers they demand. james reynolds, bbc news, genoa. britain's new $3 billion aircraft carrier, hms queen elizabeth, has set sail from portsmouth this evening for the east coast of america. there, jets will land on the deck for the first time. two f—35 test planes are expected to carry out 500 landings and take—offs while she's at sea. less than a week after being found not guilty of affray, the cricketer ben stokes has returned to action for england in the third test against india. the hosts are looking to build an unassilable 3—0 lead in the series, but india have dug in on day one, reaching 307—6 at the close. patrick gearey reports.
6:48 pm
few cricketers will ever have a week like ben stokes has had. from the trial to the test in four days, this was trent bridge's welcome back. if that was mixed, then so was his first bowling spell. the occasional edge and accidental barge all pretty innocuous. but england have another all—rounder — not stokes, but chris woakes who coaxed the first wicket. shikhar dhawan gone. next over he removed the other opener, kl rahul. england's man of the match in the last test had worked so hard for those two, he deserved a bonus. it came when cheteshwar pujara got greedy and ruined his lunch. three for england, three for woakes. but after the interval, look at the changing colour on screen — brighter, that tends to mean better for batting. virat kohli prospered for a session in the sun. he went to 50, and importantly for india, this time ajinkya rahane came with him. they put on 150 and looked so settled that the game hit a lull — attention can drift to
6:49 pm
the next page, not alastair cook's. that catch to dismiss ajinkya rahane was at more than 80 mph — it looks tough enough in slow motion. still, virat kohli was set for a century until, on 97, adil rashid bowled him a cracker — guess who took the catch. yes, ben stokes. patrick gearey, bbc news. that's it. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel, and i'll be back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, it's time for the news where you are. bye for now. hello. this is bbc news. the headlines. world leaders have been paying tribute to kofi annan, who has died at the age of 80. he was being cared for in hospital in switzerland — after becoming ill only recently. mr annan, who was ghanaian, was the first black african to lead the united nations, serving two terms in office, and won the nobel peace prize in 2001 for his humanitarian work. earlier, we heard from alan doss, the executive director of the kofi annan foundation.
6:50 pm
i think ithinka i think a man of several generations to reach beyond his immediate base in africa and he was very much attached to ever company reached very far beyond africa and he was welcomed inside out for his advice, his counsel all over the world. just in the time that since he retired in asia and africa, latin america and europe he was sought after. because his unique qualities as a statesman and diplomat but above all as a person. a person who listened carefully a nd person. a person who listened carefully and came to the table with an open agenda. never shouted, never lost his temper and remarkably temperate in his approach to people and asa temperate in his approach to people and as a result was greatly not only
6:51 pm
appreciated but loved by many people around the world. you mentioned those different attributes and characteristics which made him the great diplomat that you described him as, where do you think they came from? well, he grew up in a traditional african family. a big family and one of many children. i think he went abroad a fairly young age to go for higher education. the united states and in europe before going back to ghana. all of these elements played into his upbringing and training and education. at the end of the day there was that remarkable quality about him which was unique to him and all of us who knew and worked with them recognised he was truly an exceptional person and a great but also immensely good person who believed in what he said and what he did. always open to
6:52 pm
ideas, suggestions and innovation and was willing to listen. how tough could it be that he needed to be tough? tough but not in a brash way. that wasn't his style. very determined that i was on several mediations with them and i saw how you would never give up, never ever give up you would take note and he would circle back always to his essential point and he would look not just one essential point and he would look notjust one or two steps, but several steps ahead and he knew what he is objective was and he was a lwa ys he is objective was and he was always ready. he had great patience. he was always ready. we had great patients. we recognise that sometimes to make a mediation successful and to make progress you need time. and you need obviously patients. when he reflected on some of the biggest challenges he faced
6:53 pm
during his time running the united nations what was the point to? he felt that at times the security council did not always come together. he was disappointed in the way the council acted on his proposals and he thought he had an agreement, but when the council came and did not work. he was greatly disappointed by that. he could make a more inclusive or representative of the world as it is today. i think all secretary—general states that dilemma. i think he was always keen to make sure that the work of united nations was properly known and not just dismissed as an empty talking shopper. that's why he went out of his way to connect with circles of
6:54 pm
the civil society but also international business and he was not afraid of meeting or confronting them as he did when he bargained with them especially to get the price of drugs to do with aids down, to bring it down to the poor people around the world could also use those and get access to those drugs. as instead, he was very determined and unyielding negotiator. remembering the former diplomat who has now died. time for a look at the weather with lucy martin. 0verall unbalanced today looking like the better of the two days of the weekend. gray seen scented by weather watcher in cumbria earlier. some brightness though and the best of those breaks in the central and eastern parts of england and scotla nd eastern parts of england and scotland and there's photos is set
