this is bbc news, the headlines at eight. rescue teams step up their efforts to try and reach thousands of stranded families in the indian province of kerala. many people were still trapped in in many cases, we couldn't stay there anymore, and i'm thankfulfor the people who brought us out of that. a british woman who spent ten hours in the water after falling from a cruise liner near croatia has been rescued. the campaign for another brexit vote receives a million—pound donation from the co—founder of fashion label superdry. pakistan's new prime minister, imran khan, addresses his nation, promising to tackle corruption and improve the country's finances. the government says it will investigate allegations that british world war ii shipwrecks in asia have been targeted by scavengers. also coming up, a baby boom with a difference at a hospital in arizona. 16 nurses who all work in the same intensive care unit fall pregnant at the same time.

more bodies have been recovered in the indian state of kerala after devastating floods that have claimed nearly 200 lives in the last ten days. many people have been killed by landslides, which have swept entire villages away. the flooding is the worst for a century and has also left 300,000 people homeless. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye reports now from kerala. the help they were waiting for has finally arrived. this baby was rescued from a southern district. the boy's mother had been airlifted just before him. they are among hundreds of thousands

who have had to leave their homes, finding shelter at schools turned into relief centres. there are nearly 4000 people here, ages been sent by the government that they are receiving supplies from people who want to help. instead of running the school he normally heads, this man is managing the centre. it is more than our imagination, they are coming from all over. they had no time to respond. they have no place to go anywhere. they leave everything and they came. and suddenly we open camps right now. this woman was visiting her sister when the flooding started. she was rescued by locals in a small fishing boat. translation: i thought i was going to die. even the boat i was rescued in almost capsized, my sister

and i fell out of it, but somehow they were able to hold onto us. for the first time since the 8th of august, there was no rainfall in most parts of the state. this road was flooded earlier, but because it has not trained in the past 12 hours or so, the water levels have receded a bit and cars can pass through it again and it has made the work of people like those who are in these lorries behind me, indian navy personnel and rescuers, it has made their lives easier. land slide and uprooted trees had also blocked roads and troops have been clearing them. bridges that were broken are being repaired so that relief material can get to even the most remote areas of the state. no rains are expected for the next few days, but even now large parts of kerala are underwater. it will be a while before people get to go home. and we'll find out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages

at10:30 and 11:30 this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the economic adviser to the arbuthnot banking group, ruth lea, and the economics editor at the independent, ben chu. a british woman has been rescued in the adriatic sea, more than ten hours after falling from a cruise liner off the coast of croatia. she's now receiving treatment after her ordeal and says she feels lucky to be alive. tom burridge reports. stranded at sea for ten hours after falling from a cruise ship. but kay looked pretty well on this, the final leg of her rescue by the croatian coastguard. one very grateful holiday—maker back on dry land. and this is the moment she was rescued. i fell off the back of the norwegian star, and i was in the water for ten hours. so these wonderful guys rescued me. the norwegian star is a 92,000 tonne cruise ship. kay fell from the back deck down into the adriatic.

the ship had docked in dubrovnik and was heading north towards venice when, just before midnight last night, kay went overboard about 60 miles off the croatian coast. too much sun the only visible effect, but what an ordeal. i am very lucky to be alive. we do not know how she fell. the coastguard said she was exhausted when they pulled her from the water. tom burridge, bbc news. the indonesian island of lombok has been shaken by further earthquakes, two weeks after one that killed more than a50 people. a 6.3 magnitude quake struck this morning, causing mudslides and damaging buildings. officials reported a second quake 12 hours later. it's unclear whether anyone has died. the government is preparing to publish advice designed to prepare the uk for the possibility of a no—deal brexit. the notices to be released on thursday will include information for citizens, businesses and public bodies. it comes as one of the co—founders of the fashion brand superdry donated £1 million to the campaign

for a public vote on the final deal, saying brexit was going to be a disaster. 0ur political correspondent leila nathoo reports. as we stare into the abyss of no deal... this weekend in edinburgh, the latest in a series of rallies being held by those calling for the public to have their say on the final brexit deal. the people's vote campaign is demanding another referendum. now it has been given a boost, a £1 million donation by the businessman julian dunckerton, who wants to fund polling to test whether public opinion is shifting. if people think that this brexit is going wrong, if they think it is being botched, if they think that the politicians are making a mess of it, they have every right to demand that they take back control of this brexit and have a people's vote. parliament would have to pass a law for there to be another vote. the government has repeatedly ruled that out,

and for now labour is not backing the idea either. and it is a prospect that incenses brexiteers. the only poll that counts is the referendum, and people voted to leave. the people's vote talk about democracy, but what their declared intent is is to overturn the democratic decision of 2016 to leave the european union, they want a second vote only to remain in the european union. the brexit secretary, dominic raab, will be in brussels again this week for further talks, but he is now also preparing to set out the government's plans for the possibility of no deal being struck. the cabinet agreement reached at chequers last month over what britain's offer to the eu should be for the future now appears to satisfy no—one. if or when a brexit deal is struck, it will then go before parliament, but it is unclear if any type of brexit could command a majority here, and with mps and ministers divided, there are those who think it is now up to the public to step in. leila nathoo, bbc news, westminster. a mother and daughter are fighting

for their lives in hospital after a stranger carried out an attack with a hammer in a street in london. police are looking for 27—year—old joe xuereb in relation to the incident, after officers found the women badly injured in adderley gardens in greenwich earlier today. the suspect is thought to have mental—health issues, and the police have said he should not be approached by the public. a man's been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a man was killed ina carcrash near marlborough in wiltshire. it happened last night on the b4192 near the village of ramsbury. the 41—year—old passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. a 31—year—old man has been arrested. homes have been evacuated due to explosions and smoke from a fire at an industrial estate near east midlands airport. the blaze has also caused problems for travellers, with train cancellations on the east midlands railway

at this stage, but obviously more information will come our way on this one in the next little while, we will bring that to you when we have it. the headlines on bbc news. rescue teams step up their efforts to try and reach thousands of stranded families in the indian province of kerala. a british woman who spent ten hours in the water after falling from a cruise liner near croatia has been rescued. the campaign for another brexit vote receives a million—pound donation from the co—founder of fashion label superdry. sport and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's tim hague. thank you very much indeed. good evening, everybody. england capitulated on day two of the third test against india at trent bridge. they were all out for 161, leaving the tourists, who are now batting again, well placed to win the match and reduce england's 2—0 lead in the series. in the morning, the hosts had bowled out the indians for 329 in theirfirst innings, before england lost all ten wickets in one session and were all out for 161.

hardik pand taking 5—28. india then dominated with the bat too, losing ony two wickets in their second innings as they built a huge lead of 292. three more days to go in nottingham. in the premier league, there was a defeat for manchester united at brighton. jose mourinho has talked about being unhappy with a lack of signings, and you could see why today as they were beaten 3—2, with murray, duffy, and gross getting the home side's goals all in the first half. romelu lukaku and paul pogba replied for united. it's the second successive season they've lost at brighton. i was disappointed, because the week was good, and i was expecting the

tea m was good, and i was expecting the team collectively to be a better team, so don't go on in the direction of the mistake and the individual mistake and the consequence of that, but there are basic mistakes that makes almost an impossible mission to win the match. much better news if you support the other team in manchester, as sergio aguero scored three as they thrashed huddersfield town 6—1. it was the argentine‘s ninth premier league hat—trick, which puts him second on the all—time list behind alan shearer. the other city goals came from gabrieljesus, david silva, and an own goal, to make it two wins from two for city. in the day's other game, watford won 3—1 at burnley. brentford maintained their unbeaten start in the championship with a 2—0 home win over sheffield wednesday. the bees are up to fourth in the table. also unbeaten are sunderland in league 1. they were convincing 3—0 winners over scunthorpe. manchester united played their first match since the club decided to relaunch the team.

they will compete in the second tier of the women's super league, but were in action today in the continental cup against liverpool, a match they won 1—0. lizzie arnot found herself in the right place at the right time to tap home. britain's jamie murray and brazilian bruno soares have won their second doubles title of the month with victory at the cincinatti masters. murray and soares fought back from a set down to beat colombiansjuan sebastian cabal and robert farah. it's their ninth title together since joining forces in 2016. great britain's michaeljones won the mens's a00m freestyle s7 on the final day of the para european swimming championships in dublin. it was a touch finish forjones, and he adds the european title to his paralympic title from rio in 2016. and as he explains, it's been a race against time to be fit for this event. soi

so i had shoulder surgery back in november last year, and i didn't get backin november last year, and i didn't get back in the water properly until kind of march time, and i only really started doing some faster start about six weeks ago. so really happy with that swim! and finally, some things are worth waiting for. golfer paul waring has won his first european tour title at the nordea masters at his 200th attempt. he held a two—shot lead with four holes to play before playing partner thomas aiken birdied the last hole to force a play—off. a par was good enough for waring in the end, though, as aiken drove into the water. that's all the sport for now. good for him, thank you, tim hague with this board. —— with the sport.

imran khan, who has been sworn in as pakistan's new prime minister, has made his first televised address to the nation. in a wide—ranging speech, the former cricket star pledged to tackle corruption. he also said he would refuse to live in the prime minister's mansion and would avoid what he called the extravagant lifestyles associated with pakistan's previous ruling elites. but he said the first priority was to turn his attention to the economy. translation: we have to stand on our own feet, we cannot carry on behaving the way we have. the more debt we're under, the more freedom we lose. we lose our respect. how bad would you feel? in fact, think about how bad i would feel, begging other countries for money. i would be ashamed. when a country begs for money from other countries, that country's entire respect goes. the world only respects a nation that respects itself. well, anbarasan ethirajan, who is the bbc south asia analyst,

told me a short time ago that the pledges that imran khan has made are hugely ambitious. to his electorate he sold this idea of creating a new pakistan, which means there's no corruption, proper administration, we don't have go and beg money from foreign countries. this was the ideal he was talking about, and one day after being sworn in, he's telling the electorate that he will go after those who are corrupt. number two, he was talking about how many people pay income tax in the country. it said only 800,000 people pay tax which is less than 1%. broadly in the subcontinent and of people breaking tax even in india is less than [1%. he wants to widen his tax nets so the government can take more revenue which can be used to the people, to develop education and create more jobs and health care. pakistan's foreign reserves are just about $10 million, enough to pay for two months of imports, so he either

needs to go to china, a close ally, or to the imf. so they can give a bailout. so he's hinting that people need to pay tax, and he might need to increase taxes, he says rich people should pay more so that the money can be used for the poor. so he's setting out his vision of pakistan today. 0ne criticism has been that there aren't any details given yet. he hasn't given out details of how he will improve revenue collection, the economy is growing at 6% of the major challenges how to fix the economy because they are running out, oil imports are increasing, international oil prices are rising which means pakistan has to dig deep to pay for oil imports. so the first challenge is the economy. secondly, how will he tackle the military? they've always played an active role

in pakistan's foreign policy and defence policy. whether he can strike a balance between internal affairs and areas where the army thinks it is in charge, he can't step into that territory. how secure is he politically as he embarks upon all of this? he's got a coalition government. he's managed to get the support of other regional parties and the opposition parties have now come to the parliament, but he politically seems to be strong now because he's also ruling two of the provinces. his party is now in now in power in two of the provinces. the opposition parties have suffered badly, although they say the elections were rigged, they are not in a position to take him on now. but he thinks he's got the people's mandate and he wants to create a new pakistan with no corruption, where pakistan will be treated respectfully

in the international arena, but there's a great difference between vision and reality, and what he wants to achieve for pakistan, i think it's difficult in any developing country to change the system overall within five years. the ministry of defence is investigating allegations that british vessels which were sunk in asia during world war ii have been targeted by scavengers. the defence secretary gavin williamson says he's very concerned to hear claims that four shipwrecks off the malaysian and indonesian coasts had been looted. chi chi izundu has the details. i name this ship prince of wales. cheering and applause. may 1939. the launch of the prince of wales a few months before the outbreak of the second world war. in 1941, that same vessel was used to host a secret meeting between winston churchill

and the american president franklin roosevelt. later that year, it and hms repulse would make their final voyage. repulse and the prince of wales were lost in the java sea on the 10th of september, 19111. the warships had been trying to intercept a japanese invasion force that was headed for malaysia, then called malaya. both vessels were sunk by japanese bombers as they tried to return to their base in singapore. over 800 sailors died, making the wrecks war graves. as a naval officer and as a historian, i feel very disturbed about this sort of thing, because you essentially have criminals, scrap dealers going in and disturbing the graves of people who fought for their country, but also destroying historical wrecks, which sometime in the future, might be of significance to future generations. diving experts currently think at least ten british warships are in that area. they have been ransacked for their steel, which has very little radiation and could be used to make sensitive instruments. it is thought the salvage

of one ship alone can fetch up to £1 million. the looting of sunken warships breaches the un international salvaging convention and breaks british, indonesian and malaysia laws. defence secretary gavin williamson has said that he is very concerned over these allegations and is working with those governments to investigate these claims. but with defence resources under pressure, any kind of effective policing of designated naval war graves could be difficult. chi chi izundu, bbc news. nonsmokers have a higher risk of dying from serious lung disease if they grew up with parents who smoked, according to research carried out by the american cancer society. it found childhood passive smoking also increased the risk of death by heart disease and strokes. experts said the best way to protect children was to quit smoking. allegations of russian involvement in donald trump's successful election campaign in 2016 continue to dominate the political debate in washington. the president says he has nothing

to hide from ongoing investigations and regularly hits out at the media. according to recent polls, 42% of voters in the us still support him. as our correspondent nick bryant has been finding out in tennesee, many of the president's messages continue to clearly resonate with his evangelical christian supporters. it wasn't just the post—industrial landscape of the rust belt that provided lush political terrain for donald trump, but the southern bible belt as well. congregations such as the thousand hills cowboy church in central tennessee. white evangelicals, who in the presidential election gave the new york billionaire a higher level of support than ronald reagan or george w bush. we would like somebody who would just say what is on their mind, speak whatever it is you want to say,

and say it as plain—spoken as you can. i don't agree with some of the words he uses, but he is doing more than any other president has ever done in the past. his behaviour, a lot of people think, is not that christian. well, as christians we all fail, that is why we need jesus christ in our lives. many white evangelicals feel besieged and isolated in what they fear is becoming an increasingly godless america. many also feel sneered at by east and west coast elites, a grievance shared by donald trump. there is a mutual sense of victimhood, that the president has exploited. 0n policy too, pastor adam says that trump's support for gun rights and his zero—tolerance approach to immigration resonates in these churches, too. it is a very tough situation to jail mommas, daddies and babies that are left here.

it is a tough situation. but you don't blame donald trump? i don't blame donald trump, i blame mommas and daddies that chose to come to this country illegally. evangelicals have become even more right wing over the past 50 years, partly because the gospel of prosperity has been preached in so many mega—churches across the country. the former property tycoon is a beneficiary of that trend. the evangelical movement has always liked a showman, charismatic speakers with star power on tv. but it is notjust what donald trump is — it is what he isn't, a democrat pushing a socially liberal agenda. white evangelicals used to be the demographic most likely to believe that politicians‘ private immorality would impact their behaviour in public life. polling now shows that they are the demographic least likely to think that. they have become more forgiving since the advent of donald trump. nick bryant, bbc news, tennessee. 16 nurses at a hospital in the us

state of arizona have found out that they're all pregnant at the same time. max gorden from cbs news has the story. it wasn't like they planned it. they're wondering what's in the water! and they sure weren't counting on this. 0ne after another, after another, after another. 16 intensive care unit nurses at banner desert medical center in mesa, all pregnant at the same time. did we have some kind of pact going on? the boon of burgeoning bellies has increased trips to the cafeteria. simple, you know, soups, making sure the kids all right. and it has some patients a little confused. he was like, "are you all pregnant?" though there are a few limitations to the cases these nurses can now treat. certain infections, and also chemotherapy drugs can be very toxic to the foetus. but don't fear — a maternity—leave—induced nurse shortage isn't on the way. we've been planning for this for months.

it's left some of these nurses learning a lesson. you find out how supportive your co—workers are of you, and your management team. it's been a good experience. in mesa, max gordon, arizona's family. now it's time for a look at the weather with stav danaos. hello there, the weather's staying pretty cloudy and humid for the next couple of days, then we start to see a change, something cool and fresher and brighter towards the end of the week. tonight, though, is another cloudy and a pretty warm and muggy one across the board. the breeze across the south will tend to ease down as well, as the night wears on. further north, we could see some lengthy clear spells developing, especially across scotland. if that does happen, then temperatures here may fall down to around ten or 11 degrees, but for england and wales warm and muggy under that cloud blanket. 15 to 17 degrees. so we're starting monday off on a rather grey
