hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. the bank of england cuts its forecasts for uk growth and warns a no—deal brexit would hit the economy even harder. he found that uncertainties over the global trading system in the form thousands of people are being that breaks it will take our evacuated from a town in derbyshire, weighing on the uk economic after floods cause part of a dam to collapse. the damage to toddbrook reservoir has put lives in peril — performance. if it bursts it could swamp the town of whaley bridge. fears that huge dam is about to the police stopped me and said you can not go into the village, but i said i'm a resident. burst. international borders to you know, i need to get in to get home and he said no. remain open after rwanda closed a i said, well, my partner's at home major crossing point earlier today. with the dog and he said ring him and us president donald trump has and just tell him to get out. those evacuated are spending announced further tariffs, causing the night at a school,

fulton financial markets after trade taking their pets and their talks of beijing. medication with them. we'll bring you all the latest from our correspondents at the scene. also tonight. the bank of england has cut its forecasts for growth in the uk for the next two years. it's also predicting a one in three chance of the uk economy shrinking at the start of next year. those projections are based on the assumption britain leaves the eu with a deal. but the new prime minister boris johnson has promised to deliver brexit by october 31 whether he gets a deal or not. here's the bank's governor mark carney on that prospect. in the event of no deal, it is probable that the inflation will rise in the growth will slow. for example, our agents surveys of businesses say that most companies report that they are largely ready

for no deal. however, just a fifth describe themselves as fully ready while three quarters of respondents say they were as ready as they can be. before mark carney spoke the government announced it's prepared to spend 2.1 billion pounds that's 2.5 billion dollars to get ready for no deal. that's double the amount it had previously set aside, and a third of the overall brexit budget. but the government insists it's just an insurance policy. here's the uk's chancellor of the exchequer. since i have arrived at the treasury, i have charge of the preparations across government to prepare for no deal. not because we wanted, but because we have to be prepared because we will be leaving on october the 31st. 2.5 billion dollars is still a lot of money to spend on something that might not happen. but if it does, the impact could be huge. more than 400 million pounds will go towards ensuring supplies of vital medicines continue. some funds will be spent on a public

information campaign and an increase in consular support for britons living abroad their immigration status isn't guaranteed. more than 300 million pounds will be spent on operations at the border. here's sajid javid again. that does require more funding and support and priority areas but today the fantastic ports, more support for borders and customs. here's one example of why that's important getting food into the uk. almost half the uk's food supply is imported. almost 80% of imports that end up on supermarket shelves come from the eu. without a deal in place taxes on those imports will go up, and deliveries will be delayed while goods are held in customs. here's one business owner

on why that's a problem. we do not know what will happen with customs. so with that perishable product, if it is stuck in customs longer than a couple of days, there will be an issue for us. no deal would also affect goods going the other way. this is operation brock. it's a plan to prevent traffic bottlenecks near customs by allowing traffic to flow in both directions on the same carriageway. if that doesn't work, more than 6,000 lorries would be diverted to a nearby airfield. and all the while the clock will be ticking. at the moment those lorries can just go back and forth seamlessly. the opposition labour party is against no deal. here's one of their mps. we have to call it up for what it is, it is megaphone diplomacy to make us spend money like water, it

will sue the taxpayer gets from this. it is the british taxpayer thatis this. it is the british taxpayer that is funding it. not long ago the prime minister borisjohnson said the likelihood of no deal was one in a million. but now the government is making the case that no deal was always a likely possibility. this was the foreign secretary talking to one of my colleagues today. take one example, radio five live on the 4th of march made it clear that evenin the 4th of march made it clear that even ina the 4th of march made it clear that even in a wto scenario, terrence maximum will be less than 4%. the second speech talked in detail about this. they were fairly isolated examples, the overall tone was that this would not be a scenario that the british people had to think about. know, that is wrong. the width did not think it was going to happen. no. that is wrong, i'mjust giving you two tangible examples of how all eventualities, including a wto brexit were discussed during the referendum. but in february 2016 four months before the brexit referendum dominic raab said the idea the eu

would erect trade barriers after brexit was "not remotely credible". and the minister in charge of no deal planning michael gove was even more emphatic. this quote is from two days before the referendum. "no one is seriously arguing that britain would be outside that free trade area, that tariff barriers would be erected. let's bring in our political reporterjessica parker. this turnaround were flip—flopped as it might be called on some of the language, how is it being received? i think we have seen over the past few years, opinions really hardened on both sides of the argument. suffer topics like this, they are discussed and those support brexit and think people are trying to refine the arguments of the

referendum and others may be under a main side of things actually think it is important to look back at that time and have a sense of accountability. it does not change the fact that as thing the moment, we are not very far away from that october the 31st deadline and we have a new prime minister, boris johnson, who has really upped the a nte johnson, who has really upped the ante in terms of departure, being very insistent in this campaign to become the conservative leader and prime minister of the uk there will be leaving the eu on october the sist. be leaving the eu on october the 31st. not only has he stuck to that language since entering number ten, but also a top team of other politicians who assured a sign of that as well. the chancellor making his billion pound spending pledge to get the uk ready for you to departure. but how the taxpayer may feel about this money going into the plan. because being in the uk, we haven't heard that much on a day

today basis about money being spent for a specific contingency. yes, if you may be little intent on the south coast where there is particular concerns that you could see this traffic snarl ups on the port of dover, it's quite possible that some will welcome that investment into the local infrastructure which could be of some benefit anyway. but others will question the spending decisions being made and the borderforce officials, big questions and realistically whether you can suddenly recruit, train up or get in place border officials in time for october the 31st. the governor is saying we have been doing an awful lot of work and recruiting new borderforce lot of work and recruiting new border force officials and streamline the process but we have further quite frequently today, and i think we will hear it again, especially as parliament comes back is in serious scrutiny and examination of this money. worth mentioning, only about half of the 2.1 billion has actually been

assigned to projects as things stand. the other half is as and when the government needed, they can bid for that money to the treasury. stay with us because i want to bring in another voice to the story. leaving without a deal is also going to have a huge impact on the uk's neighbour, the republic of ireland. its leader has been speaking about it today. in terms of fear, i think we should be afraid of an odour brexit. —— a no—deal brexit. it could have security implications as well. indicate have constitutional implications. it is something that we have to prepare for but it is something we should be afraid of, i believe. the prime minister of ireland. his message was be very afraid and shorthand. but he seems to be in such a different place to boris johnson, they had a phone call but

could they meet in the middle? could they needed all is the question at they needed all is the question at the moment. because they have had this phone call and other people had expected when borisjohnson or whoever ended up taking the role, whoever ended up taking the role, who did get a plane fight over to dublin quickly, ireland, the republic of ireland and it can be seen by many as the key to unlocking the process but with dressing instead is boris johnson the process but with dressing instead is borisjohnson and the prime minister saying look, i'm happy to talk to people on the phone, iam made happy to talk to people on the phone, i am made to negotiate with the eu and whether or not they rated compensate tagamet compromise on the issue. compromise on the issue. but the eu has to have its mind to change its an accent. it is pretty clear that people like the irish prime minister are deeply worried about the prospect of a no—deal brexit, not just because of the border issue but

because of the impact on the economy as well. and people are worried that either side is not ready to change its tone. hundreds of people are spending time away from home after being evacuated because part of a dam has collapsed. whaley bridge is in derbyshire, and the dam at the toddbrook reservoir is nearby. this is the dam itself, you can see how part of it has collapsed. pictures we've seen throughout the day show that the collapsed part of the wall was growing. teams have been working to lay sandbags across the edge of the dam they're also assessing the dam's strength. this was the scene earlier at a nearby high school that's been acting as an evacuation centre

and muster point for the emergency services. these are pictures from wednesday evening where water was already flowing fast down the dam wall. here's what derbishire police are saying "warnings to stay away from the #whaleybridge area are continuing. residents who have been at work, or away from the area, are strongly advised to stay away following advice from the who have indicated that the incident currently poses a significant threat to life. judith moritz is in chapel on le frith where those evacuated have been taken for safety. this is the only thing the holding back the reservoir. it has protected

the town for nearly 200 years. now it is dangerously close to bursting. heavy rain has damaged the dam and they're trying to pump water and it cuts to the next swamp the town below. residents are told to get out as fast as possible. some say they did not even have time to pack a bag. many have been sent to a high school in neighbouring chapel on the fifth, they have been told to prepare to be away from their houses for several days. i finished my shift at two o'clock, drove back down to whaley bridge to go home and the police stopped me and said, "you cannot go into the village." i said, "but i'm a resident,

i need to get home. he said, "no." i said, "my partner's at home with the dog", and he said, "ring him and just tell him to get out." the school is also being used as a muster point for the emergency services and the local council. the police have taken over evacuating whaley bridge and done an absolutely superb job. got about 85% of the people out already. there's obviously one or two people who don't want to leave and are refusing to leave. but we know where they are if there's a problem. engineers are assessing the damage but it's a race against time and the elements. they need to draw down water to reduce the risk. the ground in the area is saturated, the rain continues to fall and the reservoir was already full. something which has always been seen as a local attraction and beauty spot suddenly poses a real mortal danger. stay with us on outside source still to come. mystery surrounds reports of the death of the son of osama bin laden, we'll unpack what's known and what's not.

police in madagascar say a british woman who fell to her death from a plane in mid air opened the door herself. they added it was not yet clear why she opened the door of the light aircraft. one theory being investigated is that she may have suffered a severe reaction to anti malaria drugs. 19—year—old alana cutland a student at cambridge university was on an internship on the island. andrew harding has the latest from johannesburg. shejust finished her she just finished her second year, she had been studying national sciences, biology there and we understand, she paid for itself to come out to madagascar. this big, remote, mostly wild and uninhabited island of the eastern coast of southern africa. there are reports that she was doing some sort of research project about the sea bed of the coast and is part of that project, when she felt her death.

this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is. the bank of england has cut its forecast for uk growth and setting no—deal brexit would hit the economy even harder. nearly 2a hours on and mystery still surrounds reports that hamza bin laden, the son of former al-qaeda leader osama bin laden, has been killed. this is the new york times story which says he was killed in a strike quoting government sources telling the paper it was "an operation that involved the united states". the us is still yet to comment officially we should say. the bbc‘s security correspondent gordon correra has however spoken to a source who says that "while the reporting of his death is highly credible, they are more cautious about the cause being an air strike it is not yet clear when and how

he died or the role of the us". here's one expert with his theory on that. my my take on it is that the reason my the americans are not willing to reveal more about the operation is because it involves very sensitive intelligence operations. name speculating my take on it is the security forces and the saudi security forces and the saudi security forces and the saudi security forces have contacted the operations and in the area of pakistan, afghanistan or other and the americans naturally want to do not want to expose any vulnerable allies because it would reflect badly on the governance if the operation had been carried out. so the question of "how" hamza bin laden died isn't altogether clear. neither is the "when". back in february the us state department offered this reward. one million dollars for information leading to the capture

of what they called an "emerging leader in the al-qaeda franchise". but it appears he may have already been killed by then perhaps as long as two years ago. it's thought the us only learned of his death through intercepted communications between members of al-anda. mina lammy keeps an eye onjihadist networks for bbc monitoring. so far they have not made any official comment on the claims of his death but the supporters on the telegram have been urging each other to be very cautious of doing to the news saying that there has not been any confirmation from al-anda, this could be fake news and it can be away for the intelligence, the us intelligence to get information based on the chatter. they are very unsure and they are treating it with caution. if you look at the last message, it was from march 2015 and

in contrast to the other 12 messages in total between 2015 2018 and then he went quiet. and even al-qaeda members had not said anything about why he was so quiet. so it is a bit suspicious that he was silent for so long. there's been another escalation in the us china trade war which is widely regarded as the biggest threat facing the global economy. it came from president trump on twitter. this comes the day after the latest round of talks ended in shanghai both sides said they had been constructive but given its the middle of the night in beijing there's been no response just yet. but the us stock markets were quick to react. this is today's trading and you can see the fall in the s&p500, the dowjones and nasdaq when those

tweets went out. our correspondent michelle fleury is in new york. was as expected? many people were caught unaware by this and you see this by the reaction in the stock market. there was, as you point out, this tweet that started full of praise or how the negotiations were going and clearly signs that things have broken down it will do know so far is that apparently the president was briefed by the us delegations after negotiations in shanghai and clearly there just satisfy with the process and effectively blaming china for not living up to their process to buy more agricultural goods and deadly opioids sentinel to the united states. all things that we re the united states. all things that were agreed upon back in may when

the two leaders met also and the g20 meeting. so if this goes into effect, what sort of products or goods will we be talking about? you're talking about essentially the remaining amount of chinese goods that have not yet been effectively taxed and this love a huge impact on the american economy. if you look at what has already been taxed or had ta riffs what has already been taxed or had tariffs imposed, those are mainly manufacturing products, mechanical products, things that essentially are further up the production line. the consumer at the end does not necessarily sort of see that extra tax on the screw the part now talking about toys, smartphones, computers, kids clothing. things that people recognise and understand immediately and of course this does go into effect in september, you're

talking about that build up right into the holiday season for stubs those retailers are stocking up at the last season and this is going to be the worst possible time for them you're starting to see the reaction from the likes of the us of commerce and others basically expressing their dismay. another part of the story, president trump is imposing these tariffs because he is hoping that beijing will make concessions to avoid its own economy being hurt and as you can see from this tweet, this is from bbc business not hitting the chinese economy back. that is the conclusion of his own former economic adviser who resigned last year. he told our north american editor i think it was a very convenient

excuse for the chinese to slow down their economy when they needed to slow down and overheated economy for prices and real estate prices were getting out of hand editing president trump abided that excuse. soi president trump abided that excuse. so i think the chinese economy is going to slow down with or without a trade war. but in the us. it is having a huge impact on me. if you are growing soybeans and trying to export them to china, life is just got tougher you. at the farm community it is having a dramatic impact. it is having a dramatic impact. it is having a dramatic impact. in the service side of the economy, it is not having nearly as big as an impact because tariffs do not affected. seeing a very interesting situation. things that are manufactured and consumed in the united states, those things that are imported and those things that take a long term to build and they are being divided. he did the automobile industry. it is suffering because

ta riffs industry. it is suffering because tariffs are hurting the debt industry. but people are spending a lot of money by going out and eating and a lot of the restaurants and they are doing very well because we grow our own food and i have to import the food and really, the biggest cost and really, the biggest cost in the restaurant industry is labour. and so we have labour here the united states, some people are willing to go out and that money. speaking to her editor. let's bring michelle back it is interesting because we're just wondering slapping these tariffs on can be incredibly risky for president trump going forward because he is in campaign mode and it is fair to say. you've got donald trump on one hand who is going to be campaigning that the country is doing well under him but yet these difficult negotiations going on with china, concerned that he's not getting the progress that he's not getting the progress that he wants to see that the deals and

concessions are not materialising and which side as see pushback on? push too hard to try and get a deal with china and you risk damaging your economy at home and of course, the other context all of this is yesterday, america prospered central bank and the interest rates. one of the things he gave was uncertainty that it was causing businesses. it was showing up in the figures already in the fed worried about that and i was in before today's announcement. michelle in new york, bring us up—to—date on those latest tweets. that have kept us busy here on outside source. and we are going to speak more about also the economy and will come to the uk and brexit. they'll be coming up in the next pa rt they'll be coming up in the next part of our programme and i do hope you'll stay with us on outside source.

good evening. big leather stories around the world at the moment, but is started in vietnam and southern parts of china. you'll remember to mention tropical storms this massive swirl of cloud gear moving northwards and westwards, the rain denoted by the greener colours on the chart, moving out to northern vietnam but we will see widespread flooding but still because we have that circulation around it, dragon lots of moisture around china, frequent storms and will be affecting hong kong the next few days before easing next week, and how the rain will continue to fall. in pakistan, the monsoon rains will come heavy in the past few days and flooding across the city. the rains

we re flooding across the city. the rains were eased away over the days ahead in the area of cloud that is been responsible moving further north, if you run the chart across pakistan or the next few days, heavier the monsoon rains with parts of mumbai, sing frequent flooding over the months and more intense flooding to come and into next week will see the shift in northeast india and parts of bangladesh as we see the circulation develop in the bay of bengal. france and this is just an image of the wildfire scars across southern areas, elsewhere, heat waves a cross southern areas, elsewhere, heat waves across the kc frequent thunderstorms during yesterday, and also some rain in moscow but look at the picture, warm jackets too. europe has been in the grips of a heat wave, much cooler further east and the area of low pressure has been being stubborn to the east of

moscow but in central asia and western russia and across the inventor the next two days. temperatures in moscow could remain around 10 degrees lower than average later this week. i also went to europe, on friday, if you're heading off, big storms expected in spinning towards northern croatia, and are storms we have seen will be across the netherlands, northern germany and parts of denmark on friday. mediterranean bound, the summer sun continues to shine with blue skies almost all the way from west to east and temperatures into the 30s for many. friday night into saturday, storms across the regions that will affect northern parts of italy, pushing towards romania and bulgaria to see the start of the weekend and if this would be a particularly nasty storm in the corridor continues to move southwards and eastern parts of poland and southwestern parts include mediterranean, and just stick with the sunshine and we should see a little bit more sunshine here in the uk of the next few days and the

storms are easing with a few showers around but they will be later. more details in half an hour.

hello, i'm nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. bank of england cuts its forecast for uk growth and no doubt brexit will hit the economy harder. profound uncertainties over the future of global trading system and form brexit will take our weighing on the uk economic performance. worker is battling a bola appeal for international board is to remain open after i wanda closed a major crossing point. china military garrison in hong kong releases propaganda videos showing it carrying out anti—riot exercises. after democrats and the debate in detroit we will see ifjoe biden is still the front runner for

nominations. let's go back to our top story. the bank of england has cut its forecasts for growth in the uk for the next two years. those projections are based on the assumption britain leaves the eu with a deal. but today the uk government announced 2.1 billion pounds in funding — that's 2.5 million dollars — to be ready in the event of no deal. so leaving the eu without an ageement is becoming a real possibility. here's the bank's governor mark carney on that prospect. ano a no deal situation is one in which styling is likely to be lower, in which inflation is higherfor a period of time, and the economy is likely to slow. the bank of england also warned that there was a one in three chance of the economy shrinking at the start of next year.

here's our economics editor faisal isalam. so, we heard the forecast before, we had the scenarios, we heard worst—case scenarios, i think what this telling is that bank of england now are spiting the impact of even the prospect of no—deal brexit. on the prospect of no—deal brexit. on the economy as it is right now. and so, if you look at the growth in terms of by quarter, they are quite healthy growth in the first quarter, it was predicted in a second corridor between april and june, two b .2, downgraded back to zero so flat no growth styling economy and something that's negative and the third quarter, just .3, i take those middle two quarters together, that's the slowest growth we have seen since financial crisis over six months, but it does avoid a

recession. they said there could be at their chance of recession, why is it looking south? went off factors, stockpiling, that happen, contributed to growth in the press courted the fact that car factory shut down, they are anticipating a no deal, those were the preparations. the of course very tumultuous weeks, months, years for the uk, but a new prime minister, how would you risk —— described his relationship with mark kearney and whether there are ramifications to that? that's interesting when you look a global context and you see donald trump tweeting about the federal reserve chairman, we are not going for a but the tech is president firing the essential bank governor, that presumption and that central bankers are independent and get to go off in the corridor and sort out the inflation situation in the economy, if the ebbing away

around the world, and i think it could be under strain in the uk, if things go wrong the next two weeks. but we saw today i think is interesting, which was it was mentioned by the x adviser to donald trump, it was mentioned that no—deal brexit, the second day of it, may be better than prolonging the uncertainty of where we land. that's an argument shared by some people in boris johnson's steam, and an argument shared by some people in borisjohnson's steam, and strongly hinted at by himself, mark carney said that was wrong, and the argument was wrong. and that it was a lwa ys argument was wrong. and that it was always better to have a chance of doing the deal rather than the certainty of what he caught a bad economic applet. aid workers who are battling a year—long outbreak of ebola in eastern congo have appealed for international borders to remain open, after rwanda briefly closed

a major crossing point. health officials have confirmed a fourth case of ebola in the city of goma in the east of the democratic republic of congo, right on the rwandan border. this is the border crossing near goma. the bbc‘s gaius kowene is there, and explains why the border closed and re—opened. this decision from the government was to a surprise for many. first because, this border... its enforcing measures by installing more than handwashing stations at the border. to the surprise of many, they just came the border. to the surprise of many, theyjust came this morning and found the border closed, we try to reach a rwandan government officials and they couldn't explain, and later after issuing the statement, they could not explain why this water dashboard it was close, but the question now is why reopen it and it's probably because since they

declared ebola was a public health emergency of international concern, they strongly advised against closing borders, or imposing any travel bands on residents of areas affected by a public, so the authorities probably had a second thought and decided to reopen the border, but still reinforced preventive measures in the civilian. since the start of the outbreak exactly one year ago, at least 18—hundred people have died of ebola in the democratic republic of congo, making it the second deadliest outbreak of ebola in history. gaius mentined the who recommending countries keep borders open. here's the un's ebola emergency response coordinator explaining why. people or find another way, there are more remote areas, where you can't go across the main boiler there is a different way, so when that starts to happen, the ability to check to see if people are

symptomatic becomes more difficult so it's quite counterproductive, and not interested by the country. health teams responding to the ebola outbreak in the drc say their efforts are being hampered by attacks on medical staff. they say there's a lack of trust among local people about advice on ebola and the intentions of foreign aid workers. this graph shows attacks on medical centres, health workers, patients and transportation as recorded by the world health organisation. this year alone, the dr congo experienced more than 120 attacks on healthcare workers, that's three times as many as in syria or afghanistan. here's one local doctor describing the problem in the drc. they had been attacks against health workers, we know of fellow doctors who were killed. that has a negative impact on the fight against this epidemic. the world health organisation says that to control the epidemic more must be done to prevent infected people from going into hiding.

here's their spokesperson margaret harris. without access to communities, all the public health techniques and tools he had are useless. if we have one person who doesn't trust and decide they needed to hide their illness because they are frightened and ask or think we are not people that they trust and did not believe that they trust and did not believe that we are people to do good, if that we are people to do good, if that person hides and goes into another area and infects another area, the epidemic continues. the bbc‘s anne soy, who reported on the ebola outbreak at the beginnning — has returned to the epicenter of the outbreak in beni city. it takes a lot to be ebola. those who seek treatment early had a better chance of survival. but at the height of the outbreak, violence

and meet is driving advantage infection. this was my last year six months ago, the expansion speaks to how big the outbreak is grand. actually, at some point, there were more cases and a lot of that service is moved to new hotspots. but then, ebola came back and now more cases are being reported here daily than any other place. there are lessons to be learned there, but i tell there is no more in the region, health workers cannot afford to relax. stay with us on outside source — still to come... try a's military sends messages to protect us and hong kong showing that he is up for us. there has been a significant increase in the number of teenagers going into care in england — while the number of young children being taken into care is falling. frankie mccamley reports. why me? why not someone else? why do i have to go through this?

orion was put into care to feel safe, but after being passed between 20 carers, his childhood trust in social services was destroyed. there's not much transparency, so you feel like everything is secrets and lies, everyone's plotting against you, everyone's spreading rumours. and how did that make you feel? you feel like you're isolated, that no one's there, so you end up sourcing help from your peers and, obviously, sometimes you find the wrong peers. i got into a lot of trouble, i got in trouble with the police, i got in trouble with social services. a report has found there's been an explosion in the number of teenagers going into care in england over the last five years, putting a strain on services. many have complex, expensive needs and are more likely to be moved around and can be exposed to criminals. i would represent lots of children who have allegedly committed crimes that if that same action had happened within a normal, natural family setting,

would never have resulted in the police being brought in. that is then the start of a journey, for many, who are perhaps more likely to experience it into adulthood. while councils are asking for more money, the government says it's investing millions to help protect some of these children, but, for campaigners, it's notjust about cash. they want to see a shift in society, to get rid of some of those entrenched negative attitudes towards people who have been in care. for orion, though, he's travelled the country helping young people in care, in the hope others don't experience what he did. frankie mccamley, bbc news, newcastle. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is... the bank of england has cut its forecasts for uk growth — and warned a no—deal brexit

would hit the economy even harder. some other stories in the world service newsroom. four more people have been killed during protests in sudan. the latest deaths happened in the city of omdurman. tensions are high since six people — including school children — were shot dead during a protest on monday. the ruling military council has blamed the paramilitary rapid support forces for those deaths. the russian opposition leader alexei navalny has filed an official complaint saying he was poisoned while in prison on sunday. he was rushed to hospital with what a spokesperson said was severe swelling of the face, and redness of the skin. navalny was jailed for 30 days for urging people to take part in unauthorised protests. thousands of residents have been told to leave their homes in the english county of derbyshire because of fears a huge dam could burst. part of the dam wall in whaley bridge has collapsed. the past few weeks have seen a new temperature record set in the uk — as well as extreme rainfall in places.

the chinese military in hong kong have released a propaganda video showing its soldiers carrying out an anti—riot drill. let me show you some of it. the soldier you just heard was shouting in cantonese, hong kong's local language. the three minute video includes officers firing guns and rockets, and using tanks and helicopters to contain protesters. the chinese army, called the people's liberation army, has a garrison in hong kong headquartered map here, on kong kong island. so far the pla have stayed out of the anti—government protests in hong kong which have been going on for weeks. hong kong is a former british colony, which is now part of china but enjoys unique freedoms not seen on the mainland, beyond the border here. the bbc‘s celia hatton

is in beijing. basically, it makes his point that the chinese military is a very well armed military, it has the largest standing military in the world. it's upgrading all the time, it's standing military in the world. it's upgrading all the time, its budget is growing all the time, and said oh yeah, it probably wasn't all shot in hong kong, but the point is it's very different from past videos released by the same military garrison, and the past we saw a smiling soldiers in hong kong, with a joyful hong kong resident is on the back, thrilled they were there to offer the ultimate form of protection. but you know, at this video is the tenor of the video that's different, it feels different, it shall in combat. a showing active training, and so it's meant to scare and ruffle feathers and set it really gets the job done, without actually having to inflict pain. after the video was released china news serice tweeted

that the pla #hongkong garrison is showing its commitment to safeguarding the country's sovereignty and security. and the chinese government's hong kong and macau affairs office commented earlier in the week, calling recent anti—government protests "horrendous incidents" that have caused "serious damage to the rule of law". for the view from mainland china, i've been speaking to kerry allen — the bbc‘s china media analyst. there has a huge reaction, but one thing we need to bear in mind is that today is the anniversary of the people's liberation army being pounded, sun mainland china does lack of coverage, that a lot of posters for example about support you look at military, there is a military found being promoted, said this is one of many things, but based on how much publicity the protests a nd based on how much publicity the protests and hong kong have been getting, like china has been doing since they started becoming large—scale in earlyjune as they

started to increasingly mount the campaign showing that this is what the chinese believe, this is more violent and aggressive and there is a mounting dialogue of hulu and it that hooliganism, sonata videos released by protests are still going on, and people have been reading his paper is in seeing on tv footage, but selected but it's basically giving the impression that there is a lot of violence happening in the area. it had more than 30 million viewers watch the video, and people really are kind of like yeah, like a movie. the thinking this is good, that this is how powerful our army is that maybe they should go in now and start people out in hong kong. would not be prevalent view? absolutely but another thing that happens in china as there are people paid by government to as the 50 cents piety, they pay a small amount of money and post messages on social media that are in line with what the government supports thomas a life of the messages, they may not be from genuine users, they could be from

people who are just raining a bit of extra money and basically getting this impression that this is the widespread abuse. in yemen, more than 30 people have been killed in an attack on a military parade. it happened at a camp near aden, which is the base of the country's internationally recognised government. here's the moment of the attack. the rebel houthi movement has claimed responsibility. it says it used a ballastic missile and drone in the attack that reportedly killed a senior commander. there was another attack in aden today — at least ten people died in a suicide bombing but it's not known who was behind that or if the two attacks were linked. yemen has been at war since 2014, when houthi rebels took over the capital sa naa, prompting a saudi—led military intervention. diplomatic efforts to end the conflict have failed — here's the bbc‘s paul adams with more on' who wants what‘ —

and what may have led to today's attack. had people who are not expecting to be involved in fighting back today at all. and so, you canjust imagine the level of carnage. as to why this man happen, well, you heard that explanation, preparations were being made for some kind of push on who the control of territory to the north, around ties. that front lines and not of yemen had stayed pretty much static, it's essentially where the government, the internationally recognised government of yemen is to a large extent based, a bride. but it is the one big city that remains in government control. it's also a place where the saudi led coalition of forces supporting the government had a presence and primarily, that's represented by forces from the

united arab emirates now what's interesting is that recently, the uae has been drying down its forces, particularly around the red sea point, reflecting a pink a bit of disaffection with the campaign. yemen has been described as an "unwinnable war". since it started, tens of thousands of people have died and millions are starving. the international comittee of the red cross calls it the "world's single largest humanitarian crisis", "66% of people don't have enough to eat. 65% of people can't access health care and 58% of people don't have clean water." this un official has just returned. i saw desperate resilience but also a deep sadness. a nation that essentially lost its ability to develop and to our latest estimates have lost 20 years of development in four years of conflict. people are hungry and suffering and their

institutions and schools and look at ministrations have collapsed and for many of them, life as they know it simply has ceased to exist. former us vice—presidentjoe biden has come under attack from other democratic hopefuls in a televised debate ahead of the 2020 presidential elections. it was the second debate, map being held here in detroit, in michigan. the state will be a key battle ground in the presidential election next year. donald trump won in 2016, after barack obama won it for the democrats twice. joe biden was his vice president, then, and is the frontrunner for the democratic nomination to take on donald trump next year. that made him something of a target. here are some clips. it looks like one of us have learned lessons of the past that one of us hasn't stopped with status quo, you do nothing to hold that the insurance companies to task, for what they had been delayed to

american families. mr bice president —— president you cannot have it both ways you invoke of president obama more than he would you can't do it when it's convenient and then dodge it when it's not. bill de blasio, the mayor of new york, the next round of debate is and september and qualifying candidates must pull above the 2% of that boat and have 130,000. only half are expected to make the cut. they choose their party nominee next year ahead of the election in november. here's dr leslie vinja—muri, head of the us and the americas programme at chatham house, on where the candidates stand so far. clearly biden was on the defensive, he's in the lead considerably, but he's in the lead considerably, but he also has the longest track record to defend his batting government, he's got a lot of policies and positions on which the mainstream of the democratic party has moved very considerably during the period of

time, when he's taken a number of liens, whether it's immigration, criminal justice, liens, whether it's immigration, criminaljustice, at the point of debate last night. but any number of issues, you see quite a significant shift, take health care come on health care, obama's a care act was considered to be a very did not —— dramatic departure from previously what we saw and now the debate amongst the democrats is whether or not to have government sponsored health single—payer system will stop at the very dramatic shift. the american rapper asap rocky has testified in court in sweden where he's accused of assaulting a 19—year old afghan refugee last month. along with two members of his entourage, he faces two years in prison if found guilty. president trump has sent this man his special envoy for hostage affairs to stockholm to monitor the trial. and celebrities have been getting invovled too. here's kim kardashian recently "thank you @realdonaldtrump, @secpompeo, jared kushner & everyone involved with the efforts to free

asap rocky & his two friends. your commitment to justice reform is so appreciated". asap rocky's real name is rakim mayers. he denies the charges. let's hear some of his testimony today. these guys, you know, that their behaviour was very weird. and we did not know what to expect and it got scary for us. i could not help but assume these guys where under the influence of some sort of drug. maddy savage in stockholm is following the trial for us... he has said that he and his entourage were scared, when they we re entourage were scared, when they were approached by 19, the alleged victim, and another person well. and he has been talking about how as a celebrity, he is somebody who has felt threatened and has been followed a number of times in the past, and has said that is how that affects the way he behaves and

reacts when he is in a situation he proceeds to be threatening. so that's really been the key part of his defence. he is also reacting to claims that a glass bottle was used in the fight, and i think this is a key piece of evidence that keeps coming up in the trial, the alleged victims's lawyers believes a glass bottle that he is and he has admitted to picking up a bottle but says he never smashed it. the trial effective continue we understand that could be five more witnesses speaking before things are scheduled to wrap up on friday. thank you very much for that, ijust wa nt to thank you very much for that, ijust want to bring you another bit of news and that has broken in the past hour about president trump saying he will impose additional 10% tariff on $300 billion worth of chinese imports starting september one as a talks aimed at to ease tensions between both countries continues. thank you for watching us an outside source. stay with us for bbc news.

friday and saturday should see drier weather across more of the country as showers begin to fade away at long last, probably belief they mind you. looking at the rainbow in the last week, here in this stoppage or bar is significantly above rainfall. again as been localised flooding. friday, we had this ten —— tentative hi rich low—pressure area bringing showers, but we are not completely dry on friday. whilst it may start dry on friday. whilst it may start dry end be sunny and lots of places mec cloud building again as you can see, like the showers. these are hit and miss, lots of places will be dry, does temperature is sitting in the range of around 21—25d and being the range of around 21—25d and being

the week. showers that do file will be hanging around as the sun begins to go down, but less places and at the day on a dry note. let's head into the weekend, we are looking at another area of low pressure, this will be with us for quite some time, only very slowly moving from the atlantic. is pushing ahead is whether france, and that will then arrive towards the southwest northern ireland late in the day, i had a bit about the sunshine in my car out there that day, triggering a few light showers mainly out to the west. it like the eastern areas likely to be dry, temperature is not really changing very much, 22—25d. it's during the second half of the weekend, we have wet weather heading our way, as low—pressure just gets closer and this whether frank could bea closer and this whether frank could be a little more active for a wild bringing wet weather across northern and western price at the uk. heavier rain extending its way up towards scotla nd rain extending its way up towards scotland and the far north of england, that rain could be happy and at thunder. litter earn up ——

little to no rain southeast of england and the air is quite warm and humid, temperatures get 27 or 28 degrees. remember, we had a big area of low pressure on the scene, sect in the looming large for the start of the new week, this whether france on the scene complicate things as well. quite a few showers and long spells of rain on monday, sunshine as well, get the details or right will be a little bit tricky but that what is weather across northern ireland. temperature is not so high and southeast england and east anglia about 23 or 2a degrees. as we head into tuesday, pretty much got the low pressure over the top of thatis the low pressure over the top of that is what the web to find, this may be the wettest day and the outlet and —— i reside long spells of rain will be widespread, they may have an odd rumble of thunder in a few places getting away with a dry day on tuesday. this temperature is, sitting at around 20 celsius, no

great shakes for this time of year. let's look further ahead, we need to look at the position at the jet stream, not only this time of year, probably appear but it looks like it's going to be to the south of the uk. so on the cooler cited byjet stream, i know he played on the way. stepping up areas of low pressure and spinning them in from the atlantic, but a bit more amplification to the jet stream, so these areas at low pressure could be slower is some uncertainty as to the next one and the timing of the next one coming in, it may be that next friday is dry but into the weekend some more rain to come, particularly across northwest of the uk, but 00:58:41,522 --> 2147483052:06:05,822 essentially it still remaining 2147483052:06:05,822 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 u nsettled.
