and the french singer song writer and actor charles aznavour has died at the age of 94. and coming up in sportsday later in the hour on bbc news, thomas bjorn reveals some of the details of europe's ryder cup victory party. good evening and welcome to the bbc news at six. the united nations says almost two hundred thousand people in indonesia are in desperate need of help after the earthquake and tsunami on friday that left hundreds dead. many of the victims have been buried today in a mass grave. more than 800 people are known to have died on the island of sulawesi but that figure

is expected to rise as rescuers reach more remote areas. palu was one of the worst hit. people there had no warning of what was about to happen because the country's tsunami detector buoys weren't working. from palu, our correspondent rebecca henschke sent this report from above, you get a sense of the scale of the destruction here in palu and the huge task for rescue workers. in palu, more than a8,000 people are unable to return to their homes, many of which lie in rubble. this used to be a road. the residents say the ground rose several meters, swallowing homes and leaving huge risks along it. translation: the soil rose up and buried their houses. in my heart i

said, if this is the time i die, what more can i do. ijust prayed to god. when the huge waves hit the coast, this woman picked up two youngest children and ran. translation: we were running for our lives. the waves chased us and it was a race. it is like a bad dream, when is help going to arrive. when will the government pay attention to ask? they are turning to creative ways to get their plea for help out. herfamily has ways to get their plea for help out. her family has painted ways to get their plea for help out. herfamily has painted this ways to get their plea for help out. her family has painted this line which says pray for a palu, we miss oui’ which says pray for a palu, we miss our home and we need help. in an attempt to try and get attention from passers—by. this town enters its fourth day without power and clea n its fourth day without power and clean water, people are getting desperate. the city is almost out of petrol, the people queueing for hours for what little is left. there

is no electricity, no communication, fio is no electricity, no communication, no gas. everyone is queueing for this and especially supplies of food are very limited. desperate people are very limited. desperate people are now trying to salvage anything of worth from the debris and today there has been more looting as people take what they need. this was a building sharp, people have been coming in to take a equipment from it. you can see things like pillows amongst the rubble. residents say there are also dead bodies here, that they cannot retrieve and there isa that they cannot retrieve and there is a smell of decaying corpses in the air. up in the hills, authorities have dug mass graves, enough for thousands of bodies in an attempt to stop the spread of disease. as things worsen, people

are desperately trying to get out, crowds flooding the small, damaged airport in palu, hoping to get on limited military and commercial flights to nearby cities. 0ur correspondentjonathan head is in palu now... four days after this happened, is there any hope of finding people alive? i think there is help, it is not cold here. there are vast numbers of people who were buried by the earthquake were not necessarily hit by the wave. when that happened, very few people survived. the areas hit by the wave it is appalling, total destruction. there needs to be a more systematic effort by the authorities if they are going to find people who might still be alive. it is haphazard, there are not enough people in charge here. there are lots of volunteers but in terms of a functioning town, palu

has ceased to function. there is no normal services and the living themselves are without anything. it is extraordinary to meet people rushing up to your car and begging for water. there is no drinking water, they have got no power. it is desperate. part of the problem is this is an isolated place and it took me 21 hours to drive here today. the airport is damaged and it is hard to get aid in and you would think by now the government would be prioritising some absolute basic essentials. we have not seen much of it, a lot of people are completely on their own and there is a desperate atmosphere here, people really feel abandoned. i think they willjudge the government harshly if it cannot speed things up. there is always this complaint when there is a

disaster but it feels that very little has been done. thank you. senior conservatives have appealed to party members to support theresa may's approach to leaving the european union. the chancellor, phillip hammond, told the party's conference in birmingham that the government would prove the eu was wrong to dismiss the pm's so—called chequers plan for future trade relations. 0ur political editor laura kuenssberg sent this report from birmingham. where is the tory ‘s identity? people up there, is it in that private meeting of tory women with a glimpse of the prime minister? thank you very much. is it with hard—core brexiteers? who find plenty of fans here. or is it with the chancellor? pushing gradual moves in line with tory tradition. we need to have the courage fiow tory tradition. we need to have the courage now to regenerate capitalism once again, to pass on something worthwhile to the next generation. that is what being a conservative is all about. applause. and to those who will say

that the measured message of evolution will be drowned out by this real voices of the demagogues and the populace, i say, put our trust in the common—sense of the british people and they will put their trust in us. applause. strange as it may seem, for the tories who have traditionally been behind business, there are chancellor felt the need to say this. let me say it loud and clear, the conservative party is and always will be, at the party of business. applause. it is a brilliant speech inspiring confidence in the future of this country. it reminds you of ayew became a conservative in the first place. it is nice to be reminded why you joined. that does not ring true for some of the other money men in the party. the prime minister herself has not shown

enough concern for the way the country pays its way, according to one major tory backer who has given the party millions. i would say the conservatives have lost their way. i think the prime minister has let yourself down by not being a champion of business to the extent that she could or should be. you might makea that she could or should be. you might make a legitimate excuse that she has been so busy on brexit she has not had time to focus on it but post brexit this is one of the key issues that the conservative party must address. do you believe she is the person to get the tories back to their way? is it conceivable that she does a brilliantjob in brexit? of course. we will have to wait and see. there are plenty of people here who want to talk about who the tories are and who they are for, but quiet arguments about moderate change simply cannot compete with all the shouting about brexit and it will be hard for the tories to find

themselves again, until the clamour dies away. far from themselves again, until the clamour dies away. farfrom going quietly, brexit backers who hate the prime minister's compromiser here in full force. campaigning to get her to ditch her so—called chequers plan that would see parts of the economy is closely tied to the european union, even after we leave. any deal that prevents us from taking back control and the sovereign and any deal that looks like chequers or the opinions proposed by the eu would be a deal that stands in defiance of out a deal that stands in defiance of our democracy. applause. many here though are not in the mood for trouble. the former foreign secretary was spotted casually jogging foreign secretary was spotted casuallyjogging through the countryside today. he will arrive in this city tomorrow. even though many of his colleagues wish he would stay away. there is a lot of eye rolling and rude muttering from ministers

privately at the fact of how boris johnson will be here briefly tomorrow. he is expected to be cheered from the rafters by a certain constituency of activist and a smattering of mps, those people and they are here, particularly on the fringes of the conference, who wa nt to the fringes of the conference, who want to strain every sinew to get the prime minister to ditch her planned compromise with eu. i have to say it feels as if there are two things going on, yes there are strong voices around the outside of the party who are unhappy with the direction the prime minister is taking, particularly on brexit, but in the main in the hall here, the mood among activists seems to be more about grin and bear it, getting through the conference i getting

through the conference i getting through what will be tricky month in parliament, getting through to the other side and only then, having a big think and soul—searching about where the tory party goes next. thank you. a man who stabbed his eight—year—old daughter in an act of revenge against his ex—partner has been found guilty of murder. william billingham used a kitchen knife to kill his daughter mylee in his bungalow near walsall in january. 0ur midlands correspondent sima kotecha has been in birmingham crown court, and sent this report. eight—year—old mylee billingham, nicknamed moo. but on the evening of the 20th of january, this man, william billingham, her father, killed her at his home. the court was told that the murder was an act of revenge. billingham's former partner, tracey taundry, who is also mylee's mother, was in a relationship with another woman, something he was struggling to deal with. hours before the killing, this cctv footage shows the father and daughter at a local newsagents, happily buying treats. after eight o'clock, when miss taundry came here to pick up mylee, billingham held a knife to her throat and said he was going to kill her. she managed to get away. she pushed mylee, but the child slipped.

billingham then dragged his daughter by the hood of her coat, back into his bungalow, while she shouted, mummy, mummy and, please daddy, no. daddy, stop it. using a knife, he stabbed her in the chest. hours later, she was pronounced dead. police say what mylee's mother went through is unimaginable. her daughter was dragged away from her grasp. she knew that billingham was armed with a knife. albeit, she feared the absolute worst, i believe there was a big part of that thought that mylee would walk out of that address without a hair harmed on her head. those who knew her have described mylee as a sensitive child, full of energy. billingham will be sentenced tomorrow. sima kotecha, bbc news, birmingham crown court. our top story this evening.

a desperate search for survivors is under way in indonesia, four days after a tsunami. almost 1,000 people are dead. and coming up, we will be live here on the south coast were thousands and thousands of tiny white plastic pellets have turned up and no one knows where they have come from. and coming up on sports day in the next 15 minutes, a bigwig forjose mourinho and manchester united after their worst start to a league season in 29 years, can they bounce back in europe? it's exactly a year since 58 people were killed in america's worst ever mass shooting. it happened in las vegas, when a man opened fire on crowds attending a country music festival. more than 400 people were shot in the incident and survived. one of them has onlyjust been released from hospital a year later. clive myrie has returned to las vegas to speak to some of the injured,

people whose lives were changed forever that night. and a warning, his report contains some distressing images. no other modern democracy venerates the gun as highly as america. and no other country pays such a heavy price. the bullet went through my chest, into my stomach, my liver, my spleen. i can hear the sounds, i can feel the bullets, the bullets were six inches from my head. this is a story not about the dead, but about those who lived. meet rosemarie mela nson, a survivor of the worst mass shooting in american history. for close to a year, her home has been this hospital room, because of a gunman‘s bullet. there is times where i thought, i don't have the strength, because sometimes i felt so weak and my husband stayed...

he's the one that gave me the strength to get through. because there were so many nights, and days, i didn't know, because i just didn't feel good. it was a present from her daughters. an evening at a country music festival. gunshots gunshots. panic. a man high up in a hotel nearby is firing round after round. he kills 58, but for every minute he's firing, he injures a0 more. ten minutes pass before he stops. the dead are buried and mourned. yet the injured carry a special burden, as do those they love. i need to remove a small piece of her intestine... rosemarie's doctor matthewjohnson understands the continuing traumas once wounds heal.

their whole lives get changed, and that doesn't even include the psychological injuries that they sustain. and years, it can affect your whole way of life, you can't work the normaljob you used to work. and if you don't have disability insurance, then i mean, you could end up on the streets. i arrived in las vegas the day after the shooting to report on the tragedy last year, and many of the billboards here on the main strip were carrying words of condolence. by the time i left, 48 hours later, those words had disappeared and it was back to selling as usual. you're looking at live pictures there of broward county, florida, where there is an active shooter... people die, and america moves on. but some can't do that. i used to watch these shootings on tv, before it happened to me. it is another level to have gone through one, and then to have it happen, it's like a punch in the soul.

with every mass shooting, lisa revisits that night in vegas. it knocks you back again, and you can feel it, you can see it, smell it, all of it. and knowing like the sadness of knowing what those victims are going to go through. the many tens of thousands injured every year in gun—related incidents are america's dirty secret. they live changed, quiet lives, paying the price for this country's love affair with guns. clive myrie, bbc news, in las vegas. the discount supermarket chain aldi says it plans to open another 130 new stores in the uk over the next two years. the german firm says the expansion will create 5,000 jobs. aldi currently has more than 700 stores in the uk, and is britain's fifth biggest supermarket. tesco bank has been fined £16 million

following a cyber attack nearly two years ago. the financial conduct authority said hackers had taken advantage of what it called "deficiencies" in the design of tesco's debit card. £2.25 million were stolen during the attack. tesco bank says it has enhanced its security measures. the father of a teenager who died after an allergic reaction to a pret a manger baguette has been describing the moment she collapsed on a flight to nice. 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperouse collapsed after eating the sandwich that contained sesame seeds, although that wasn't listed on the packaging. her parents are now calling for changes to the way food is labelled. her midriff, if you like, she lifted up her shirt in the flight and i saw, she was totally covered in what looked like very large jellyfish stings. big red welts all over her body. the last moment was in the toilet of the plane, when she...

she said, "daddy, please, get the second pen, i can't breathe, i can't breathe, daddy, help me." and those were her final words. he called me and he said, "she's going to go completely in the next minute, maybe two. you have to say goodbye to her right now. right now, quickly, say goodbye to her. i'm putting the phone by her ear so she can hear you." i spoke to my mother back in london and i said, "please go and buy the same sandwich from your local pret a manger." she went to the counter and asked the staff where you pay, she said, "is there anything in this sandwich to be concerned about?" the staff then went back to somewhere in the back room and handed my mother a folder and said, "there's some information in there." and my mother noticed immediately the sesame seeds were highlighted as "allergen" in the sandwich. and my mother was stunned, she told

me, and she said to the staff, "where are the sesame seeds?" because they're not even visible to the naked eye. and she was told by the staff there, "well, they're baked into the dough." at which point my mother screamed and she said, "you have murdered my grandchild." ask anyone, do we want anyone to die again? no, nobody wants anybody to die, not even pret a manger. so then, if that's the case, then do something, not words but deeds, right now. not to see your child ever again is incomprehensible and unless you live through it, even then, it's difficult, it's unexplainable. thousands of small plastic pellets have washed up on a beach near portsmouth. they're called nurdles and are used to make everything from plastic bottles to bin liners. volunteers believe the pellets may have been spilled in the manufacturing process

and ended up being washed out to sea. 0ur correspondent duncan kennedy is on hayling island. sophie, when you think of pollution on beaches, you normally think of plastic like this. but here on hayling island, these plastic pellets called nu rdles hayling island, these plastic pellets called nurdles have been found in their tens of thousands and nobody knows where they have come from. it all coincides with a major documentary tonight showing the full extent of pollution in our oceans. i should warn you that some viewers may find the images in this report disturbing. they're called nurdles. tiny plastic pellets that have washed up in their thousands on this hampshire beach. so many, in fact, that volunteers have collected more than 20 sacks full of them. millions of them, and we couldn't physically sit here and pick them all up... they include bianca carr, who says the nurdles are used

by industry to make everything from bin liners to bottles. and to give you an idea ofjust how bad the problem is here, take a look at this jar. in one small section of beach, two metres by two metres, one volunteer spent two hours collecting all these, and found a total of about 1000 of these nurdles. no—one knows where these tiny white nurdles have come from. we're horrified by what we saw, in terms of all of these tiny, tiny plastic nurdles, which are about the size of a lentil and they're used in plastic manufacturing. they are everywhere around here. all around the shoreline. the discovery in hampshire coincides with tonight's documentary on the wider problem of plastic pollution. this is a river in indonesia. oh, look at that, yeah.... while this is howe island, off australia, and the shocking discovery of what this bird has ingested. oh! look at that.

stomach full of plastic. one, two, three, four, five... 16 pieces of plastic. oh, look at that. yeah. six years ago, this wasn't snow in the pacific, but more nurdles, washed up in a typhoon. volunteers everywhere are cleaning up a worldwide deluge of plastic, but from hong kong... to hampshire, our seas, rivers and oceans remain in a fragile struggle with human activity. duncan kennedy, bbc news, on hayling island. geoffrey hayes, who presented the classic children's tv show rainbow, has died at the age of 76. hello, everybody, to you like that song? i don't think i like sharing a bed anymore, i think i should have a bed anymore, i think i should have a bed of my own... he hosted the programme, featuring bungle, george and zippy, between 1974 and 1992.

meanwhile in france, tributes have been paid to the singer songwriter charles aznavour, who has died at the age of 94. he sold more than 100 million records during his career which spanned 80 years and he was often described as the french frank sinatra. 0ur correspondent david sillito looks back at his life. # she may be the reason i survive... # the why and wherefore i'm alive. # the one i care for... charles aznavour. fred astaire, bing crosby and frank sinatra all recorded his songs. bob dylan said he was one of the greatest live performers he had ever seen and those songs, a catalogue of heartbreak and life's many sadnesses. my songs are very solid. i write about everything. i write about... 0ften my wife will say, you're not going to sing about that in the song! and i say, yes, iam going to say it. the glamour of his heyday in the 60s and 70s was a world

away from his childhood. charles aznavour‘s family were armenian immigrants. he left school and began performing when he was nine. and it was the great french singer edith piaf who gave him his big break, accompanying her on a tour of america. in an era of rock and roll, this five foot three and resolutely old school singer was himself surprised by his enormous success. he sang in six languages, he appeared in films, he was even named armenia's ambassador to switzerland. but charles aznavour‘s place in history is the songwriting. that gift for turning the joy, melancholy and pain of life into song. # she... charles aznavour, who has
