of senatorjohn mccain. more misery for manchester's mouriniho as united lose at the hands of spurs, heaping more pressure on the manager. good evening. un human rights investigators say military leaders in myanmar should be investigated for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity and have 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 murder, rape and torture against the rohingya, predominately in myanmar‘s rakhine state. more than 700,000 of them have fled into bangladesh.

but myanmar‘s un representative rejected the report, describing it as one—sided. 0ur myanmar correspondent nick beake sent this report from cox's bazaar in bangladesh. for a year now in this bleak landscape the rohingya have been suffering. bereaved, uprooted, lost, giving harrowing accounts of the brutality they say they suffered at the hands of the myanmar military. today we met rashid. he says they murdered 12 of his relatives. translation: they made the men stand and the women and children squat on the ground. then they opened fire and killed the men. then they took the women inside the house and set it on fire. he is convinced it was genocide and so while he welcomed today's call for the top generals to be tried for that crime, he thinks it is all too late for so many.

translation: ifjustice is done then people who are living will see it. but what about those who were slaughtered 7 my mother, my brothers, my nephews, my uncles, can they bring them back? they can't do it. tula toli is the village in myanmar from which rashid fled. the killing, rape and arson here is said to be have been part of a coordinated campaign by the army. you know it is not only about justice for victims, but it is also deterring future activity. if we allow this to go without any kind of sanction, then every army in the world will think they can do this. this is the most detailed and blistering criticism yet of the actions of myanmar‘s military last year, actions which forced hundreds of thousands of rohingya people to flee across the border to these camps where they are still trapped.

but there is also strong criticism of myanmar‘s civilian government, in particular its nobel peace prize winning leader aung san suu kyi. she is accused of failing to use her moral authority to prevent the violence and that by ignoring the plight of the rohingya, her government made it easierfor the crimes to be carried out. tonight, myanmar rejected the un report as flawed and one—sided. the army has always claimed it was only clearing out militants, a claim now wholly rejected by the united nations. bringing the commander—in—chief, ming aung hlaing, and his comrades to court will not be easy, but today feels like a significant step forward in the pursuit ofjustice for the rohingya people. nick beake, bbc news on the myanmar—bangladesh border. 0ur diplomatic correspondent paul adams is here. a report is one thing, action quite

another. it is indeed. let's look at what the un panel is recommending. it wants to bring this case to the international criminal court, or some kind of ad hoc criminal tribunal such as we saw for the former yugoslavia. both of those we re former yugoslavia. both of those were action by the un security council and it is likely china and possibly russia would stand in the way. until then the un general assembly could convene some kind of mechanism to gather evidence, so if there is a prosecution at a later date that process of evidence gathering could begin. that could happen, it is happening already in the case of syria. it is hard to see it giving up any of its generals. the uk is currently president of the security council and jeremy hunt, the foreign secretary, says he is planning to go to me and mark at the

earliest opportunity to ask questions of the government there. it seems as though the british government will lead an effort to bring this to the un security council in september and it is asking the myanmar government to organise its own enquiry. interestingly, facebook which has singled out the criticism in this report for allowing itself to be a platform for hate speech and propaganda for the regime has now banned many of the top myanmar officers, the first time they have moved in that way. facebook is hugely influential in myanmar. as for aung san suu kyi, this is really another nail in the coffin of her international credibility. she is accused of failing to use her moral authority. she seems still to be in denial about what her generals are doing. sad to say the woman who won the nobel peace prize i7 doing. sad to say the woman who won the nobel peace prize 17 years ago is looking more and more like a pariah. is looking more and more like a pariah. police have named a man they want to question after a mother

and her daughter were stabbed to death in the street in solihull, in the west midlands in the early hours of this morning. detectives want to trace janbaz tarin, the former partner of the daughter. from solihull, dan johnson sent this report. where is janbaz tarin? he is the 21—year—old believed to have stabbed to death his former girlfriend and her mother late last night. raneem 0udeh was 22 years old. her mother, khaola saleem, was 49. their family says they are devastated by their loss. and this is where they died. a double murder investigation is now under way in this quiet suburban close. a peaceful sunday evening here was interrupted just after midnight when neighbours heard a man shouting in a foreign language, then there were screams. we heard some noises, but we thought it was animals, like a fox or something, because it is generally here that they come in the night, so we didn't come out, but after an hour, the police knocked the door and asked if we have seen anything.

literally, i would never expect it from somewhere like this. i have lived here for over a year and a half now, lived in solihull for my whole life, never had anything like this happen so close to home. they had been here for... it is guesswork now, six or seven years, something like that. they were a likeable family. they didn't trouble anybody, theyjust got on with their lives, the same as we all do. the main focus of the crime scene investigation work is that patch of grass that is screened off there in front of the houses, but we have been told that the family actually lived here in this house. detectives are questioning people inside. we have been told there are other younger children. the family's car has also been examined. because west midlands police had previous contact with the family, the independent 0ffice for police conduct has been informed. detectives say they are working flat out to find janbaz tarin. they have warned people not to approach him and appealed

directly, saying he should do the right thing and contact them. danjohnson, bbc news, solihull. the people's vote campaign, which wants a new referendum on brexit, is attempting to change labour party policy. that's according to an internal memo, setting out its strategy and leaked to the bbc. it wants mps and activists to submit a motion at the labour conference next month, committing the party to backing a referendum on the final brexit deal. 0ur political correspondent iain watson is in westminster. what are the chances that this will happen? with the government dead set against another referendum, the the people's vote campaign knows the best way of getting a new referendum on brexit is get the main party of opposition to endorse it. but for that to happen they need the support of some people who usually backed jeremy corbyn at next month's labour conference. but rather inconveniently many of the senior

labourfigures inconveniently many of the senior labour figures associated with the people's vote are long—standing critics ofjeremy corbyn. this internal memo goes out of its way to make clear that any attempt to change labour party policy is not pa rt change labour party policy is not part of some kind of plot to change oi’ part of some kind of plot to change or undermine the labour leadership to further allay fears on the left also says that the the people's vote is not some kind of forerunner of a new anti—brexit party either. i am expecting more senior politicians and maybe one of the big unions to come out and support the new referendum quite soon. butjeremy corbyn prefers to keep his options open, at least until theresa may com pletes open, at least until theresa may completes her negotiations with the eu. so, finally to answer your question directly, a change in labour policy is not guaranteed, it might even be opposed quite vigorously in some quarters.

new research suggests that the price of meat, vegetables and dairy products will rise by at least 5% 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 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 £45 million per week and that equates to £7.15 per month, per household. so what do consumers think of that? we stopped by in winchester to ask a few. what do you think of the idea of putting up prices by 5%, £7 per month, because of all this extreme weather? it happens doesn't it?

can you cope with that? well, we have to. it's absolute rubbish. rubbish. how did they work that out? i don't honestly believe it'sjust because of the weather. well, if you've got to support the british farming community, then that's what we'll have to go with. the department for food and rural affairs told us it's not only the weather that affects food prices. it says it is helping affected farmers and that some producers like high temperatures. but whether we swelter or shiver, we live in a climate dependent food chain and that has costs. duncan kennedy, bbc news. just two days after the death of senatorjohn mccain, president trump has been embroiled in a row for not continuing to fly the us flag at half—mast at the white house. it was lowered at the weekend, but raised again today, far earlier than would normally be the case. but tonight, the flag has been lowered again, apparently due to public pressure.

from washington, nick bryant reports. washington withoutjohn mccain is a lesser place. he was a human landmark, an american hero whose broken body personified the land of the brave. flags at the us capital remained at half—mast, in honour of his service and sacrifice, but at the white house, where the flag was lowered at the weekend, there was no such act of ongoing remembrance earlier on today. in a tweet over the weekend, donald trump paid his deepest sympathies and respect to the mccain family. but there were no kind words for the man himself. mr president do you have any thoughts on john mccain? that presidential silence continued today. do you believe thatjohn mccain was a hero? but with the american allegiance strongly urging the commander—in—chief to honour this war hero and former prisoner of war, there was finally a presidential change of view,

if not heart. we have just got this statement from the president. despite our differences on policy and politics, i respect senatorjohn mccain's service to our country and in his honour have signed a proclamation to fly the flag of the united states at half staff until the day of his internment. but it still does not call him a hero. so tonight the stars and stripes was lowered again at the white house in that rare thing, a presidential climb—down. but the flag row has come to symbolise the broader debate as to who best embodies the values of modern america, donald trump orjohn mccain? nick bryant, bbc news, washington. the german chancellor, angela merkel, has condemned violent attacks by far—right protesters in the eastern city of chemnitz, where police are tackling a second night of demonstrations. hundreds of people have taken to the streets and attacked anyone they believed to be foreign after a german man was stabbed to death. a syrian man and an iraqi man have been arrested on suspicion of murder. as the prime minister arrives

in africa to discuss trade, britain is facing an increasingly bitter tug—of—war with one of its former african colonies — mauritius. the two countries are divided over the chagos islands a former british colony in the indian ocean, which used to be part of mauritius but which was detached in 1965 and is now home to a us airbase. next week mauritius will argue before the united nation's top court — the international court ofjustice — that britain should return the chagos islands. andrew harding sent this report. it's a serene setting for a diplomatic storm. today, the tiny tourist paradise of mauritius is taking on the british government and, against all odds, it may be winning. at stake, the fate of these slivers of land, the chagos islands. legally, they belong to britain. decades ago, the entire population was thrown off

the islands by british troops so that the largest atoll, diego garcia, to be converted into a military base for the united states. at the time, mauritius wanted to keep the islands, but it was still a british colony. prime minister harold wilson told a mauritian delegation, the fate of the chagos islands was not negotiable. only one person at that meeting is still alive today to recall wilson's ultimatum to the mauritian people. he told him, "if you don't agree to what i'm proposing, then forget about independence. you will go back, mauritius will remain our colony, will belong to us. we'll do what we want." blackmail, then? that was real blackmail. today, on mauritius, those families deported from the chagos islands conjure up the tastes and smells of home. and sing laments about the paradise the british forced them to leave.

she sings. samynaden rosemond was 36 when he left. now he's 81. "we even had to leave our dog behind," he remembers. "i just want to go home so i could die there in peace." for decades, britain has said no but now a team of international lawyers is helping mauritius to fight back, to try to reclaim the islands. and, quite unexpectedly, at the united nations, the world is backing mauritius against britain. one way of looking at this story is of truly the end of empire, the end of colonialism. coinciding with a moment where britain seems to be turning inward, losing on a serious scale its international support. but that hasn't stopped britain from playing tough.

sources close to the mauritian government have told us they were threatened by the then foreign secretary boris johnson. i must say that unfortunately, we have been threatened with retaliation in terms of trade, in terms of politics. by britain? by britain, and by the americans also. this is boris johnson picking up the phone? well, i have had a number of people from the uk, from the us, talking to me. calling you up and threatening you? well, we have had verbal threats, i must say. it's a remarkable claim. did the british government threatened a trade war with tiny mauritius, a close ally? the foreign office wouldn't respond

to that question but said... an old british fort looms over the capital of mauritius, a reminder of past power struggles. today, britain is being dragged, reluctantly, to court over this territorial dispute. the un's highest tribunal will hear arguments next week. for generations britain has clung on to the crumbs of its old empire. that was one of the perks of being a global power. but today, the alliances, the deals which underpinned all of that, are wobbling and out here in the middle of the indian ocean, we're starting to see the results. there is no guarantee that the islanders will be allowed back home, that mauritius will win what it sees as a battle for its full independence. but britain's grip is weakening and the hopes of those it excites so long ago are getting stronger.

andrew harding, bbc news, mauritius. 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. but critics say the weight loss of those taking part was minimal and lifestyle changes would have more impact. our health correspondent sophie hutchinson takes a look at the findings. for years the race has been on to find a weight—loss pill that is safe. it's been a perilous journey with some pills withdrawn from the market because of dangerous side effects. but could this little blue pill be the answer? scientists from harvard medical school have published research in the new england journal of medicine showing in particular that the pill does not increase the risk of cardiovascular problems such as strokes and heart disease. having a pharmacologic weight—loss

agent, a pill to assist with weight loss that is now proven to be safe from a cardiovascular perspective, is important and it's the first time we have had that. lorcaserin is an appetite suppressant. an appetite suppressant that works by activating receptors in the brain to trigger feelings of being full. of the 12,000 overweight or obese people who took part in the trial those who took the drug lost on averagejust over half a stone in a year. critics say at a cost of around £200 a month it's a relatively expensive option for a small level of weight—loss and many argue lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise would be a more effective way of tackling the uk's obesity problem and it's time the nhs made it a priority. the nhs could do much more to treat obesity much more seriously than it is. we know already that if doctors spent 30 seconds of the patient time they can motivate that person

to undertake the kinds of behavioural changes that will lead to long—term weight loss and that will also save the nhs money in the long term. the government has an obesity strategy and is looking as part of its long—term plan to make obesity one of the nhs‘s priorities in england. as for lorcaserin, it's been licensed for use in america but the question is will europe give it the green light too? revellers have taken to the streets in west london for the main parade of the notting hill carnival with better weather after yesterday's washout. more than a million people are estimated to have attended the two—day festival, which saw dozens of floats and around 100 groups of musicians across the weekend. more misery for manchester's jose mourinho this evening — as united lost 3—0 to spurs. 0ur sports correspondent andy swiss has this report.

only three games in but already under the spotlight. jose mourinho has cut a frustrated figure recently, fuelled by defeat to brighton last weekend, and the united manager's mood won't have been helped by this. romelu lukaku with a gaping net which he somehow failed to find. once again mourinho distinctly miffed. and after the break how tottenham made them pay. who else but harry kane? he barely had his pin point precision boots but put spurs ahead as united's defensive frailties were brutally exposed by lucas moura. the visitors ecstatic the hosts rather less so. and soon their misery was complete. jose mourinho wanted a new defender in the summer and you can see why as moura raced through to make it three. for the watching manager, his employers, but above all the united fans, the most painful of nights. at the close mourinho applauded them but the big question now is where does he go from here? andy swiss, bbc news. that's all from us.
