morning at about 3:15am walking towards the house and then there's a second piece of cctv footage which shows him running away and they would very much like to trace him as they say, even if it is just to eliminate him from their inquiries. now, over the weekend, two men were arrested on suspicion of murder, a 37—year—old was released pending further inquiries, a 29—year—old was bailed until august and as sarah says, it's a very complex and fast—moving investigation. police are trying to get a whole picture of kelly mary fauvrelle's life and they say at this time they don't know if she knew her attacker. jane, thank you very much. two railway workers have been killed by a train in south wales. a third man is being treated for shock. british transport police and the rail accident investigation

branch have begun investigations into what happened on the line between bridgend and port talbot. 0ur reporter matt murray is near the scene in port talbot. bring us up—to—date with what we know at the moment. this happened just before ten o'clock this morning when the great western train hit to network rail workers and resulted in their deaths. just to give you geography of where we are, we are about a mile outside of court talbot and this is the closest we can get to the train which hasn't moved since ten o'clock this morning so if we zoom in, you should be able to see the train behind me. about ten minutes ago there was quite a lot of activity with the engineers and emergency workers actually helping passengers off the train who had been on there for nearly three hours. i understand that one carriage has been evacuated but the rest of the train and passengers are still on board at the moment. we have heard from one passenger who told us that when the accident

happened on the train hit and killed these workers, that nobody on board was actually a there had been an accident. the passengers who have been taken off the train have been put on a bus just by the port talbot steelworks and they will be taken to either bridgend or cardiff railway stations. the rest of the evacuation looks like it's going to be happening through the afternoon as the railway is still closed here between port talbot and bridgend. matt murray, thank you very much. germany's defence minister ursula von de leyen, who's been nominated as european commission president, is in strasbourg this afternoon meeting meps who will vote on her appointment. this morning the european parliament elected the italian socialist david sassoli as its new president. 0ur correspondent adam fleming sent this update from strasbourg. the hunger and rumour mill surrounding ursula von der leyen, the german defence minister who has

been named as a nominee for the next president of the european commission, there is speculation she is here already, that she has been smuggled in a side door and is on her way, that she's not here yet, but we definitely know she will be meeting some of her allies from the centre—right european people's party, the group of right—wing parties from across europe in about an hour's time so we will definitely see her although we might not hear from her. the reason she is here is because the next age of the process in her becoming european commission president is securing a majority of votes from meps in strasbourg and some of them are quite critical of her personally and also the process by which her name was plucked from the air in private by national leaders rather than the fact she went through a process which she put herself forward explicitly for the job. in terms of otherjobs, there are job. in terms of otherjobs, there a re lots of job. in terms of otherjobs, there are lots of names to get used to, charles michel, the prime minister of belgium, is going to be the new president of the european council which means he will chair the summits of national leaders from the

end of the year, taking overfrom donald tusk, the first woman ever to head the european central bank will be christine lagarde who is currently the boss of the international monetary fund, the spanish foreign minister will get an upgrade and become the ego's foreign minister, the foreign policy chief for the whole eu, and in the last few minutes here in the european parliament, meps elected a former tv journalist from italy on the ce ntre—left, journalist from italy on the centre—left, david—maria sassoli as their president. the name is slightly misleading and english, he's more like the chairman of the speaker, so lots of people for you, me and everyone here to get to know. a man accused of lying about a high—ranking paedophile ring — whose allegations sparked a £2 million inquiry — has repeated his claim in court that he was sexually abused by senior army generals at military sites in southern england. carl beech denies 12 counts of perverting the course ofjustice and one of fraud. giving evidence at newcastle crown court, he insisted he was taken as a child to an army property in wiltshire, where he was tied up and had his feet burnt.

june kelly was in court. during this trial, the court has seen footage of carl beech in police interviews, giving details of the childhood abuse he claimed he suffered at the hands of prominent men who formed a paedophile ring. he has alleged that his first abuser was his stepfather ray beech, an army major accused of raping him in a toilet cubicle and assaulting him at the family home. today carl beech went into the witness box to repeat his claims before a jury. among those he has accused is lord bramall, a former chief of the defensive staff. he told the court his stepfather first took him to see the general at an office in an army barracks. the general asked his stepfather to wait outside. carl beech said...

he told thejury beech said... he told the jury on another occasion his stepfather took him to a disused house and waiting for him where lord bramall and other members of the military. he said... he also described being taken to imber, an army training site on salisbury plain where he said he was a and tied to a wall. he alleged he was then stabbed in the foot and hand and tortured with a cigarette lighter and darts as well as being electrocuted. he said those involved included sir michael hanley, a former head of m15, and lord bramall was also there. carl beech is accused of lying about all his claims. he denies perverting the court of justice claims. he denies perverting the court ofjustice and fraud.

more than a0 people have been killed and 130 injured in an air strike on a refugee detention centre near the libyan capital tripoli. the un has described the attack as a war crime. 0ur middle east correspondent quentin somerville reports from beirut. they came to libya in search of an escape, but were killed before they could flee its shores. more than 100 migrants, mostly africans, were corralled inside the detention centre in east tripoli. they had nowhere to run to when it took a direct hit. dozens were killed, many more injured. they had fled their countries' war, persecution and poverty, with few possessions. in the rubble, they looked for any scraps that survived. people are still under the block, so we don't know what to say. all we know is we want the un to help people out of this place because this place is dangerous. the men and women who died were caught in the crossfire

of libya's latest civil war. the government in tripoli is battling the forces of khalifa haftar, a warlord with his own self—styled libyan national army. the rebel forces had earlier threatened an escalation in air strikes but now deny that they were responsible for the bombing of the migrant centre. the un says it's unclear who is to blame but again called on better protection for migrants in libya. we have to see a change now, there has to be an immediate release of all the detainees from the centres and we have to make sure that no rescued refugee rescued on the mediterranean is taken back to libya. detention centres across the country are overwhelmed. the conditions inside are appalling. this one was filmed in april this year. people smuggling flourished after the fall of gaddafi eight years ago. hundreds of thousands came here in the hope of making it to europe.

for migrants, death is familiar. around 500 have drowned this year alone trying to cross the sea. but as the war continues the risk increases and libya offers them little refuge. quentin sommerville, bbc news, beirut. you're watching afternoon live, these are our headlines. the baby of a heavily pregnant woman, who was stabbed to death in south london on saturday, dies in hospital. two railway workers have been killed after being hit by a train near port talbot in south wales. a third man is being treated for shock. new kids on the eu bloc: an italian formerjournalist takes over as head of the european parliament and a woman for the first time proposed as european commission president. 0besity now causes more cases of four common cancers in the uk, than smoking, according to cancer research uk. the charity says bowel, kidney, ovarian and liver cancer

is more likely to be caused by being overweight than by tobacco. more details from our health correspondent sophie hutchinson. 0besity affects over one in four adults and one in five children leaving primary school in the uk, today's report by cancer research uk says it is now clear that being obese puts people at greater risk of four types of cancer than smoking. every year, obesity is believed to be responsible for almost 2,000 more cases of bowel cancer, than smoking. for kidney cancer, its 1,300 more cases. around 500 more of ovarian cancer, and 100 more cases of liver cancer. figures show that there is a low level of awareness, in comparison to smoking, where well over 80% of people tell you it's a cause of cancer, when we started our campaign, only around 15% of people

would mention obesity unprompted. and, as we are saying, obesity is actually the biggest cause of cancer after smoking. the latest attempt to warn of the harms of obesity has come under fire, this billboard is meant to look like a cigarette packet, it says, like smoking, obesity puts adults at greater risk of cancer, but some have described it as fat shaming and say it is stigmatising and campaigns like this simply won't work. the government says we must be much more ambitious in halving childhood obesity rates by 2030, it says it has cut sugar from half the drinks on sale. it's funding more opportunities for children to exercise in schools, along with other initiatives. campaigners say it's just not enough. a year ago, we were really encouraged. the government published a strong felted obesity plan and it had some really good effective measures to help to curb childhood obesity, changing the environment we live in,

such as a 9pm watershed on junk food adverts and restricting things like buy one get one free on biscuits in supermarkets. we have had a lot of talk since then, but very little action. ultimately, it is the figures that will prove policies to tackle overweight are working, but, at the moment, a reduction in the numbers of people who are obese still seems a long way off. joining me now is dr michaeljones, from the institute of cancer research. thank you for your time. let's be clear, we're not saying that obesity gives you cancer, but it's in the background and could be somehow involved. we know that obesity is related to cancer. there is an association that is very clear in all the data we see. there's also associations with smoking as well, which is much stronger, but since more people are becoming obese, we are probably assigning more causes, more cancers to obesity. at the moment we are promoting for particular types. 0besity increase,

you might see that go up. looking at the other side of this, it's the good news story about smoking, fewer people are smoking, therefore cancer rates are going down. yellow yes, smoking rates in the country have been dropping for decades now and we are seeing the decrease in lung cancer incidence, especially in men, not so much women, but it takes time for these effects to come through. . is there a certain type of body shape or is itjust about body mass that matters here? were still not sure about all the details. there are other factors that matter as well like the exercise you take which is related to obesity and its quite hard to untangle both factors together. these for particular types of cancer, which are the ones that you are seeing coming through most commonly as related to obesity. 0besity commonly as related to obesity. obesity is related to both of these four cancers in slightly different

ways, in terms of how strongly association is. the association with smoking is obviously much stronger but fewer people are smoking so the obesity seems to be tipping over into taking control of that. we've got borisjohnson saying perhaps a sugar tax, we should have another look at this, but presumably you would say any prevention of people buying sugary drinks and other foods linked to obesity has got to be a good thing. yes, we know that healthy weight has other benefits as well in relation to diabetes and heart disease in addition to cancer. and doctor, when we are talking about obesity, what do you mean by that? we usually use a measure, body

mass index which is a relation of your weight to your height and generally, as you would imagine shows you roughly what shape you are, but of course, people aren't a lwa ys are, but of course, people aren't always bills the same way and you can have a large body mass index which is where obesity is defined if you are very strongly built —— people aren't always built the same way. so there are subtle differences in how you want to define obesity on measures like weight and height. critics like that sense a blunt instrument when measuring like that but presumably you would argue there is much more that needs to be done. yes, weight and height are easy to measure so you can find a number that has been assigned to a person and say this is roughly where july on the scale of low to high —— where you lie. 0ther on the scale of low to high —— where you lie. other measures are much more expensive and complicated. doctor michaeljones, thank you very much for your time this afternoon. thank you.

a 16—year—old boy from durham has been charged with terrorism offences following an investigation into right—wing extremism. the teenager is due to appear before westminster magistrates tomorrow, and faces several charges including preparing for an act of terrorism and possessing material for terrorist purposes. we cannot name him because of his age. more people are downloading it than facebook, instagram or twitter — but if you're not a teenager, you may not have heard of tiktok. it's the fastest growing social media app but its owners have apologised after it emerged that users have felt pressurised into sending money to their favourite influencers. tiktok lets people send digital gifts, which can cost nearly £50, and a bbc investigation found influencers promising to share their phone number with fans in exchange for the gifts. joe tidy has more. tiktok is the fastest—growing social media app in the world. it's a viral video machine, hugely popular with teenagers, but there's another side to this platform that is less well known.

i love you guys so much, and you guys are amazing. this is live streaming. when you get 1,000 fans or more, you can broadcast straight to your followers. it's an excuse for a lot of people to get closer to their audience, but it's also a place where the creators are asking for money. remember, if you are the next person to click that gift box... some of these animated stickers cost pennies, but the most expensive and most sought after cost users £49. drama queen! oh, the drama queen! reactions to videos, collaborations and shout outs are routinely up for grabs. if you drop another drama queen, i'll speak to you on instagram for a week straight! but some fans feel exploited by the more extreme and persuasive sales techniques being used. thanks so much for the drama queen. if you sell one more, you get my number. we spoke to a 12—year—old girl from the north west of england who didn't want to appear on camera. you gave a tiktoker £100... she was promised his phone number. but says he has only replied to a few messages and has

never answered her calls. sebastien moy did not respond to our request for comment. and she's not the only one who has given big gifts to tiktokers. i think in the end it was about 400 by the time it was all said and done. stephanie barber blames tiktokers for persuading her 11—year—old daughter to rack up the bill over two live streams. adults should know better. and even other teenagers should know better, that you don't ask essentially children for money. i'm going to count to ten and you can send drama queens for a follow or a duet... the neffati brothers from blackburn have 2.5 million followers. their average live stream earns them around £250. a lot of the gifters are 30—year—old women. we don't like it when our gifters are young. we ask them if their parents know about it. but we can't stop them. the chinese company behind tiktok say it's sorry to hear about some of the experiences we documented. in light of our investigation, a spokesperson said they will further strengthen the platform's policies and features.

joe tidy, bbc news. the clean—up has begun in hong kong after pro—democracy activists stormed parliament and ransacked the building. the chinese government has condemned monday's protests and called for a zero tolerance approach to future demonstrations. hong kong's parliament building remains cordoned off while the damage is repaired. final preparations are being made for president trump's new—style fourth ofjuly celebrations in washington dc. the first group of battle tanks and other armoured vehicles arrived in the capital by rail on tuesday. they are expected to take part in a parade, which the white house is calling a salute to america, on thursday. time for a look at the weather. louise is here. when it's louise is here. when its bright in the sky is bright, but you're going to show us something special.

an eclipse, this time it was a south america, northern argentina, chile seeing the best of the clear skies. northern argentina and northern chile, basically northern chile is becoming a bit of a hub for observatories being developed there in the desert. that is because they have great weather, they have low humidity, clear skies and obviously because it's in the desert there are no city lights so beautiful for watching the stars and also for watching the stars and also for watching the stars and also for watching the eclipses and we got a great satellite picture which we don't often get to see but you can see this, the shadow of the eclipse crossing towards northern chile.

that's amazing. it's very rare that we get to see the pictures but you can see the shadow as it moves. they haven't seen an eclipse like this since 1592 so they have had to wait quite some time so i hope they went out and enjoyed it but in northern argentina, temperatures were way below freezing and they had gale —force below freezing and they had gale—force gusts winds. below freezing and they had gale-force gusts winds. what was it like in 1592, was it all right? you couldn't help yourself! now to adult satellite picture. to the far north and west, you've got a little bit of cloud and showery rain into scotland, not amounting to too much, mostly to the northwest of the

grey glen and it's fairly widespread across england and wales with highs of 21 or 22 celsius. clear skies and stay with us through the night but temperatures won't as last night. in wales and northern ireland we had low single figures so widely double digits. we have outbreaks of rain into the far north which is the story for tomorrow and a real north—south divide. some rain will move further east into scotland. it
