ina this is bbc news, i'm shaun ley. the headlines at two. the united nations says military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide against the country's rohingya muslims. food prices are expected to rise in the coming months as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. a mother and her daughter have been stabbed to death in the street in solihull in the west midlands. also this hour: the building boom fuelling the uk's obsession with online shopping. with almost one in five sales now made on the internet rather than on the high street, warehouse space has doubled injust a decade. and in half an hour, we'll be visiting america's first sustainable solar—powered town. that's in click. good afternoon. un human rights investigators say

military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, and called for them to be referred to the international criminal court. in an unprecedented move, the investigators named six top generals, including the commander in chief of the armed forces and his deputy. un investigators interviewed hundreds of victims and found evidence of rape, torture and murder against the rohingya, predominately in myanmar‘s rakhine state. more than 700,000 of them have fled to bangladesh. from geneva, our correspondent, imogen foulkes. a systematic campaign of murder, torture, rape and against myanmar‘s rohingya muslims, extermination. patterns of violence which have been going on in myanmarfor decades and for which the un investigators say the country's top military leaders bear clear responsibility. this report contains details of war crimes, crimes

against humanity and genocide. now, it's highly unusualfor un investigators to publicly name those they believe responsible. this time, they say the evidence is overwhelming. six generals are named in the report. a longer list of names has been stored at the un for further investigation. the team interviewed over 800 victims and witnesses and heard accounts of gang rape, of children killed in front of their parents, and of entire villages burned to the ground. they showed me their scars. they showed me where it happened to them. i could just see from their bodies and others, these people were deeply, deeply wounded. you know, it's not only about justice for victims. it's also deterring future activity. if you allow this to go without any kind of sanction, then every army in the world will think they can do this. the investigators were also highly critical of myanmar‘s political

leader, aung san suu kyi, who they say failed to use her position as head of government or her moral authority to prevent the violence. the next step, the report says, is to refer myanmar to the international criminal court. imogen foulkes, bbc news, geneva. 0ur south east asia correspondent, jonathan head, said the generals criticised in the report were unlikely to face justice in an international court. well, as imogen said, the recommendation of the fact—finding team is that the security council should take myanmar to the international criminal court. myanmar‘s not a signatory to the rome statutes, so it doesn't have automatic jurisdiction. the security council would have to recommend that. but among the five permanent members of the security council, china is likely to block that. so, those wanting an investigation are going to have to pursue alternative methods of bringing these generals to justice, and that's likely to take the form of some kind of independent

mechanism and possibly a tribunal. it's been done in the case of syria, they may well do it in the case of myanmar. there's no doubt the incredibly damning language of this report will give much more diplomatic momentum behind the determination to have some kind of accountability. and remember, most european countries, most north american countries and, indeed, most muslim countries are behind this diplomatic push to bring these generals tojustice. what it does do comprehensibly, this report, i think, is it absolutely shatters the reputation of aung san suu kyi, already badly tarnished. even to this day, she continues to defend her generals and to deny the human rights abuses. and she's put herself firmly on the side of those who are going to end up, likely, in some kind of international dock. new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least five per cent in the coming months because of this year's extreme weather. the centre for economics

and business research said the winter freeze, followed by the recent heatwave, had put huge strain on farming costs and yields. duncan kenendy has this report. 2018 has been a year of weather extremes, from the beast in the east to the wilting temperatures of high summer. for many farmers, the buffeting of the seasons has brought pressures that will soon have an impact on consumers. we've really had to buy in a lot of supplementary feed to feed the cows. we have fed this winter's silage which we would normally feed during the winter, we've had to feed to the cows during the summer and so we're running out of feed and having to buy in a significant amount of supplementary feed to feed the cows today and we're looking at a huge feeding bill for this winter. that will put our feed price up by about 4p per litre. now an economics research group says farmers‘ costs and the struggle to produce enough food is pushing up wholesale vegetable prices and some dairy prices. between march and july, the farm gate price —

the price of produce direct from the farmer — rocketed. carrots went up 80%. there was a 41% rise in the cost of onions. the wheat needed for bread went up 20%. and the price of butter climbed 24%. the researchers say all this has a knock—on effect and with some other products here and in europe also set to get more expensive, the monthly shopping bill will go up. we expect it will cost uk consumers £16 million per week and that equates to £7.15 per month per household. a spokesman for the department for food and rural affairs told us it's not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it has taken steps to help affected farmers and that high temperatures have helped some food and wine producers. farmers say consumers can help them

best by paying the price they need to stay in business. duncan kennedy, bbc news. a mother and her daughter have been stabbed to death in the street in solihull in the west midlands. the women, who were 49 and 22, were found between midnight and one o'clock this morning. officers say they're making "urgent attempts" to locate a male suspect, who is known to the victims. 0ur correspondent dan johnson is in solihull. i’ow row in the daters are still busy at work here, examining all the evidence, because they have a double murder to investigate. a mother and her daughter both stabbed to death here at about half past midnight, while neighbours have described hearing screams around that time. they heard a man shouting in a foreign language and then they said they saw him driving away in a van and police say their main suspect is

someone and police say their main suspect is someone known to both victims here, although they have not clarified what relationship that is or who he is. detectives have appealed to him to hand himself in. neighbours say they did not know a great deal about this family and they have not been named, but there is urgency to this search for the man they believe is responsible for this double killing. police in florida are trying to work out why a man opened fire at a video game conference injacksonville, killing two other people and himself, and wounding at least eleven people. some witnesses have suggested that david katz, who was 2a, started shooting after losing a game. jon donnison reports. a florida shopping mall hosting a gaming tournament, the venue for america's latest mass shooting. inside, contestants were playing an american football video game, then suddenly, the sound of gunfire. gunfire. and the screens disconnected. we heard a pop and we thought it was a balloon pop, the way it sounded. but then comes the realisation, you know, that somebody

back there is shooting, so we just basically got down and crawled out for our lives. by the time armed police arrived, two people were dead and the gunman had also killed himself. the single suspect in this case is a white male and this is pending confirmation but we believe the suspect to be 24—year—old david katz from baltimore, maryland. the fbi is assisting us with that leg of the investigation in baltimore. this is david katz at a gaming event he won in 2017. it's reported this time, he started shooting when he lost. i'm way more upset that someone got this upset over a game than anything. it's just a simple game. it's nothing crazy. to the politicians, wake up, because the people are dying on the streets and you guys are going through the same motions over and over and over again. does it take for someone close to you to lose their lives to gun violence for you to wake up and realise to do something?

but experience tells us change is unlikely. this was a vigil following the parkland school shooting, also in florida, in february, which left 17 people dead. guns have killed more than 9,500 people in america this year, not including suicides. on average in 2018, there's been a mass shooting every day. jon donnison, bbc news. the people's vote campaign, which wants a new referendum on brexit, is attempting to change labour party policy. that's according to a leaked memo. it wants mps and activists to submit a motion at the labour conference next month, committing the party to backing a new referendum on the final brexit deal. 0ur correspondentjonathan blake says that whilst the government has ruled out a second referendum, labour's policy is slightly more nuanced. they say they will respect the

result of the 2016 brexit vote, but all options should be on the table ifa all options should be on the table if a deal is rejected by parliament, so if a deal is rejected by parliament, so people's vote are nudging at what they see something as a door ajar here. this memo has gone out to all their members suggesting those who area labour their members suggesting those who are a labour party members should submita are a labour party members should submit a motion to the labour party conference next month which would call for people being allowed to express their views in a public vote on brexit. at the conference as a whole would have to decide that was a topic that should be debated. then it would need the support of at least some ofjeremy corbyn‘s supporters on the left of the labour party and they will see there is potentially as a way of undermining his leadership, which is why people's vote have been clear that this should not be used as a way of attacking jeremy corbyn. also, they potentially risk alienating some of its supporters who voted in favour of brexit in the first place. it is farfrom certain of brexit in the first place. it is far from certain that labour will

change their policy, but it is probably the people's vote's campaign getting what they want to happen, another referendum on brexit, turning into a reality. shopping online has become the norm for millions of us. almost one in five sales are now made on the internet rather than on the high street. it means there's been a building boom in retail distribution centres that get our products to us. warehouse space has doubled injust a decade. here's our business correspondent emma simpson. it's big business, delivering parcels. these days, most of them contain our internet shopping. it's 9pm at dhl‘s vast depot at east midlands airport and things are getting busy. each night, we process 190,000 shipments through this facility. and it's growing. dhl has invested more than £150 million expanding this site to keep up with demand. the pace of change is incredible. a few years ago, we wouldn't have seen any e—commerce or online shipping parcels come

through this organisation. now we are seeing 60% of the uk volume is all e—commerce. what does that tell you? it tells us that's the way forward, that's where the future is. location is key. this region is making the most of its good connections. next door, a vast new distribution park is taking shape, the east midlands gateway. high street shops may be shutting but this part of retail is growing at breakneck speed. we've commissioned research which shows that over the last decade, 235 million square feet of warehouse space has been leased or bought. that's double compared with the previous decade. more than half of it has been built from scratch, like this. the proportion going to retail has doubled, too, with 2018 set to be a record year. 0ver there is the airport.

the boss told me there are now almost as many planes with cargo as passengers. passenger flights tend to be during the daytime hours. then what happens overnight, we really come to life with the cargo activity which is all about that next day delivery. so we've seen phenomenal growth, maybe 19, 20 planes per hour, literally bringing the cargo in or taking it out of the country ready for the next day. 0ur changing shopping habits are creating thousands of new, very differentjobs and infrastructure, a journey which still has a long way to run. emma simpson, bbc news, east midlands airport. the headlines on bbc news: the united nations says military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide against the country's rohingya muslims. food prices are expected to rise

in the coming months, as farmers feel the effects of this year's extreme weather. a mother and her daughter have been stabbed to death in the street in solihull, in the west midlands. sellafield is one of the most contaminated industrial sites in europe. crumbling, near derelict buildings are home to decades—worth of accumulated radioactive waste 7 a toxic legacy from the early years of the nuclear age. now its operators are in a race against time to make the most dangerous areas safe. 0ur reporter theo leggett has been given exclusive access to one of the most hazardous parts of the site. in the early days of the nuclear age, britain was enthralled to the awesome power of the atom. newsreel: the first large scale atomic power station in the world will be supplying britain's grid next summer. its scientists scrambled first to build bombs, then to develop what seemed to be a limitless source of energy. and sellafield was at the heart of it all. but those heady early days have left

a toxic legacy of crumbling contaminated structures. now the bbc has been allowed to film inside one of the most hazardous of all. and here it is. this is the first—generation magnox storage pond here at sellafield and this is where, in the past, used nuclearfuel was brought to cool down before it could be taken away for reprocessing. it hasn't been used for 30 years, but it's still full of toxic radioactive material and cleaning all that up is now proving to be a major challenge. it has to be cleaned up. the structure is obviously showing its age. if part of it were to collapse, the consequences could be very serious. but removing its dangerous contents isn't easy because it wasn't designed with decommissioning in mind. the word decommissioning didn't exist until about 20 years ago so there was no thought. the idea was it would just be emptied. nobody realised at that time that the radiation would change the nature of the material,

that some of it would corrode. it was expected that it would be relatively straightforward just to empty. the job of sifting through the radioactive murk is given to specially designed underwater robots. their human operators remaining at a safe distance. it demands cutting—edge technology able to operate in the harshest environments. machines like this one developed by localfirm forth engineering. the company is one of hundreds based near the plant which are benefiting from sellafield's predicament. and many of the products they develop for the nuclear industry can also be sold profitably elsewhere. sellafield has been definitely a great test—bed and definitely a good pedigree to have our robots go there first. if you can work at sellafield, it can certainly work in the oil and gas and marine industries. it will be many years before this dilapidated facility can finally be demolished and decommissioning other parts of sellafield will take even longer, but for engineering

firms in the region, that means their ingenuity will be sorely needed for plenty of time to come. theo leggatt, bbc news, sellafield. a weight—loss pill has been hailed as a breakthrough in the fight against obesity after a major study showed it did not increase the risk of serious heart problems. a us study saw 12,000 people who were either obese or overweight given the pills or a placebo, with those who took the drug shedding an average of nine pounds injust over three years. two killer whales have been rescued after becoming stranded on separate beaches in argentina. both animals had been swept ashore close to the capital buenos aires. dozens of people volunteered to help and it took several hours to get them back into the sea. the bbc‘s tim allman has the story. as soon as it became clear the whales were stranded, the rescue operations began — the first taking place at the mar del plata, or silver sea beach. local volunteers, marine

wildlife experts and members of the argentinian navy all taking part. persistence, a couple of long straps and sheer brute force was enough to pull the animal off the beach. not so far away and it was a similar story, although this time, they needed a little mechanical help. killer whales, or orcas, can on average weigh more than 8,500 kilos, so moving one is no easy task. once the whale had been lifted into deeper water, it was then a case of push, push, push. so when the animal managed to swim away, the elation was clear. translation: we saw that each time, it was becoming more complicated, but we were very determined to get this done, of getting him back into the sea. i don't have words to explain what i'm feeling. it's a dream, a dream come true. this is incredible!

small boats monitored their departure, making sure they were healthy and heading in the right direction. 0rcas will no doubt get stranded again in the future, but there will always be people ready to come to the rescue. tim allman, bbc news. a second tribute to remember those killed in the grenfell tower fire will take place today on the second day of the notting hill carnival. the event is being policed by seven thousand officers today, the highest number for six years. yesterday the metropolitan police arrested 133 people at the event and 16 knives were seized. 0ur reporter, noel phillips, is there and described the atmosphere at today's event. incredibly noisy, and the reason for that being because the parade is now under way. thousands of dancers are making their way along ladbroke grove... hello! and as we can see, a very excited dancer. and ijust want to give you some facts about the costumes that he's wearing and those colours

that we can see, there are 15,000 of them on display today and a lot of them are man—made, they've been made by the designers themselves. and sometimes, they've taken up to months. i mean, one million hours, we understand, it's taken these people to put their costumes together. the streets of west london are awash with colours at the moment. yesterday, it was incredibly wet but, today, the weather's holding out and people are having a very good time. the atmosphere is quite incredible. and the sound systems that you can hear behind me, there are about 30 of them. and as you mentioned, a little later this afternoon, at three o'clock, it will all come to a standstill. all the music will be switched off because they will pause and remember the victims of the grenfell tower. there will be 72 seconds of silence. and people will remember, reflect, because that tower, it was about a mile or so away and it's still a shadow in this community and on this carnival as well. and it's also worth remembering that the windrush generation — those migrants who came

from caribbean islands all the way back in the ‘60s and ‘50s — they brought with them their culture and, according to many people here, they're the ones who inspired this carnival. if it wasn't for the windrush generation, this carnival wouldn't exist today. so there's a nod to those individuals, to those people. of course, windrush is back in the news, but people are focusing on their positive contributions today. the party is now under way and, as you can tell, i'm finding it very difficult to talk, and that's because the sound systems are getting closer and closer and people here just want to have a good time and have a dance. and hopefully, later on, we'll find out a little bit more about the costumes and try and tell you why they're pretty much a tradition, a signature for this carnival — europe's largest free festival. the recent heatwave has seen many of us choosing to holiday at home this summer and seaside towns have been reaping the benefits.

the welsh coast has drawn plenty of tourists because of regeneration that was funded by the eu. but with the prospect of that money being withdrawn because of brexit, what could the future hold? tomos morgan has been to find out. i mean, when i first came here, it had a bit of reputation but i saw how great it was. some may have thought that rhyl has had its heyday, but this seaside town has been revitalised in recent years by european funding. and this cash injection, alongside the recent spell of good weather, has helped boost businesses like the local kite surfing school. certainly when people come here you literally could be anywhere in the world. so, in general, there's so much improvement going all the way down the promenade and when people come here they love it. they don't just stay for a day, they stay for three or four, which is brilliant. per mile, wales has more blue flag beaches than anywhere else across britain. almost half of these are across the five coastline counties of the north. it's been a bumper summer, too, for the caravan and that look out and camp sites that look out

across the irish sea. these are the lucky ones that got a place at frith beach touring park this bank holiday weekend. they had to turn people away due to popular demand. this is ours third time here. you can't beat it. you're right on the beach. the dog loves it. it's a beautiful camp. the beach is safe. it's huge. it runs for miles. there's no trouble of overcrowding. it's just wonderful. 0n the opposite side of the region is an island full of pristine beaches and rugged coastlines. this is benllech beach on the east coast of anglesey, which this summer became the top trending destination on airbnb across the whole of the uk. but there are concerns that this and other areas across north wales will struggle in future without further investment into tourism. it's a fact that anglesey relies more per capita on tourism than any other county in britain. without that support, without the investment, we certainly won't continue to grow

as well as we have done in recent years. the majority visiting are domestic tourists. wales as a whole struggles to attract those from abroad compared to other areas of the uk. foreign visitor spending here has decreased by 17% over the last 12 months. so what more can be done to attract those from overseas? i think the problem we have is international tourism tends to concentrate on london and then perhaps on scotland. what we need to do is emphasise that message, that to see the diversity of wales is to see a distinctive historical and cultural part of the united kingdom. after all, it's the only properly bilingual country in the united kingdom. with picturesque shores, plenty of lettings and an abundance of adventure tourism, north wales has been made for summer tourists. and many will be heading back here with their bucket and spades this time next season. tomos morgan, bbc news, anglesey.

the ss mendi was a world war one troop transporter which sank off the isle of wight, transporting south african troops to the western front. it was the country's worst ever maritime disaster, killing more than 600 black south africans, and became a symbol of racial injustice during the apartide regime. now the long lost bell from the wreck of the ss mendi, is to be presented by prime minister theresa may to the president of south africa. the bell was given anonymously to bbc south today reporter steve humphrey, who had followed the story for three decades. he sent us this report. it is a ship's bell with a name which resonates around the world and symbolises the bravery and sacrifice of the hundreds of south african soldiers who perished in the english channel. the ss mendi sank off the isle of wight in february 1917 after being rammed by another ship. 646 people died — over 600 of them black south african troops on their way to do a lot

of the heavy lifting and digging on the western front. last year, on the 100th anniversary of the tragedy, the south african navy staged a ceremony at the memorial in southampton where the walls of names highlights the scale of the disaster. a few months later, the bell from the ss mendi was left anonymously for me in dorset. i had been looking for it for over 30 years since i first heard rumours it had been recovered by divers. and that looks very much like a bell—shaped package with my name on it. an unsigned letter with the bell explains that they were asking me to take charge of it because of my interest in the mendi. the writer said... i know it is of importance to south african heritage

and if i handed it myself it might not go to the rightful place. this needs to be sorted out before i pass away as it could get lost. for most of the past year the bell has been on display at the sea city museum in southampton, while authorities made a decision about its future. it's a local wreck and a local story for southampton but we have to look at the wider implications, the history beyond southampton and the wider meaning the bell has in other cultures and histories. the bell was collected from the museum by the royal navy, the first stage in its journey to south africa where tomorrow prime minister theresa may will present it to the country's president. a fascinating story. now it's time for a look at the weather. we can cross the

newsroom to ben rich. it was starting to look quite nice when i came into work today. how was it looking across the rest of the country? some of us have got some sunshine, for others fair amount of cloud and some drizzly showers, but as we go through the rest of the week not much rain in the forecast and a warmer feel. certainly much rain in the forecast and a warmerfeel. certainly feeling warmerfeel. certainly feeling warmer than yesterday in eastern scotla nd warmer than yesterday in eastern scotland and eastern england. generally quite a lot of cloud, some spells of sunshine and the odd light shower. the showers fading through this evening. clear and starry skies. the odd patch of mist and fog is likely to develop and the wind will strengthen in northern ireland and western scotland. tomorrow we will see what cloud feed in here, eventually some outbreaks of rain. in england and wales, a lot of dry

weather. 17—21. a small chance of a shower in the south on tuesday and some rain on wednesday. but towards the end of the week for most of us it will be mostly dry.
