this is bbc news i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at three. the prime minister pledges £2.5 billion to create 10,000 new prison places — and says all police forces in england and wales will be given extended stop and search powers. police in hong kong fire tear gas at pro—democracy protesters in the tenth consecutive weekend of anti—government demonstrations. lawyers for the alleged victims of the multi—millionaire businessman and convicted sex offender — jeffrey epstein — say his death shouldn't stop the investigation into his alleged crimes. an 18—year—old man who got into difficulty in the sea off the essex coast has died — days after his teenage sister lost her life in the same incident. 200 people continue to search dense

forest in malaysia near the resort where a 15—year—old schoolgirl from london went missing more than a week ago. and coming up — a look back at the best moment's of the victoria derbyshire programme this week — including the story of the woman conceived by rape who wants her father brought tojustice. the government has announced a package of new measures in a crackdown on law and order. the prime minister has promised to create an extra 10,000 prison places after an increase in violent crime. this will involve the building of new prisons and the expansion of existing ones at a cost of around £2.5 billion.

stop and search powers will also be extended to all police forces in england and wales — which will allow police to stop someone in an area where they think a crime may be committed. borisjohnson also called for tougher sentencing and an end to the early release of prisoners convicted of violent or sexual offences. labour said austerity measures taken by conservative governments had left the entire criminal justice system broken. daniela relph reports. expanding powers to stop and search, part of a package of law and order announcements from the prime minister with a pledge to get tough on crime. a pilot scheme allowing greater powers to stop and search will now be extended to 43 police forces across england and wales. the home secretary dismissed criticism that the approach unfairly targets certain communities. she said her own experience talking to victims of violence

strengthened her view that stop—and—search works. they're from those communities that want to see more policing, they're from those communities that want to see more stop—and—search and they themselves from within those communities that have suffered such trauma and pain are saying they want to see our police officers empowered to do theirjob and use stop—and—search. 0n prisons, the government says there will be 10,000 new places, created from the building of newjails and the expansion and refurbishment of existing ones. it will cost £2.5 billion but as yet there's no detail where the money will come from. the most recent figures show there are currently 83,000 men and women in prison. that number is close to the current capacity ofjust over 85,000. today's announcement is a substantial rise in places, increasing prison capacity by around 12%. in addition, the prime minister also

wants an end to prisoners being released early, having served just half their sentence. all this as well as a previous announcement on the recruitment of 20,000 more police officers. but from labour there was caution and criticism. unless you're taking it in that holistic way and looking at prevention in the first place, and early intervention to tackle the causes of crime, then there's absolutely no way borisjohnson can hope to bear down on the huge rise in violent crime we have seen over the last six years that has been a result of tory austerity. borisjohnson says his wave of law and order announcements is about ensuring that criminals and not the public are afraid, but it will also inevitably lead to speculation that downing street is preparing for a general election in the autumn. daniela relph, bbc news. the chinese government has told britain it should stop interfering in hong kong's affairs, after the foreign secretary, dominic raab, suggested there should be an investigation into violence during the recent pro—democracy protests.

beijing said the days when the uk ruled the territory were "long gone". it comes as police fired tear gas at demonstrators in a working—class district of hong kong, in what is the tenth consecutive weekend of protests. 0ur correspondentjonathan head has the story. there's a rich supply of materials in this city for determined protesters, and they have turned improvising barricades into an art form here. these hit—and—run blockades seem intended to provoke a police reaction. especially when they're surrounding a police station, as here, taunting the officers inside... 0ne even scaling the walls to disable the cameras. and, inevitably, they get a response.

this is now a familiar weekend routine in hong kong's streets. the protesters quickly retreating, the police noisily retaking some of the ground and then stopping to consider their next move. the protesters are sticking to their five demands, including an independent investigation of police tactics. the suggestion backed by foreign secretary dominic raab, which has now prompted china to tell britain to stay out of hong kong's affairs. these protesters justify these actions by the need, they say, to defend the freedoms of hong kong. but, to china, this all looks like intolerable disorder and it's making it clear it won't put up with what it sees as foreign interference. china has accused outside powers of encouraging these protests. in truth, for all their desperate hope of foreign intervention, hong kong's dissidents

are on their own and up against an unyielding and increasingly impatient chinese government. jonathan head, bbc news, hong kong. our correspondent stephen mcdonell has spent the last ten weeks on the streets of hong kong with demonstrators. i asked him what's changed during that period. this is like a home—made shield made from a street sign. it is more of a hit—and—run strategy. this is going on all of the city. i don't know if you can see but there are other groups at the end of the street. the fa ct groups at the end of the street. the fact that there are smaller groups is kind of part of the plan. it does

not matter if you've got this guerrilla tactic of going somewhere, hitting it and moving fast if you have less people because they can be more mobile. for that reason, the police have also been more mobile, coming in fast, trying to grab people, make enough arrests to try and somehow take the wind out of this protest movement. there are still many thousands of radicalised protesters prepared to break the law, doesn't seem to matter that they are warned by the police not to come out. they have gas masks and helmets like we have, the riot police turn up, fire rubber bullets and they just police turn up, fire rubber bullets and theyjust disperse, go into the subway, do it all over again. it is becoming difficult for the authorities to come up with a strategy to bring it to an end. nonetheless, they are trying. and hoping that well before that looming deadline of the 1st of october, that they can finish this because if

there are scenes like this on the anniversary of the foundation of the people's republic of china, the politburo standing committee will be horrified, they want to have mass military marches, celebrations of chinese nationalism, not this display of dissent to the challenge of chinese government rule here in the city. an 18—year—old man who got into difficulties in the sea off essex on thursday has died. haider shamas and his 14—year—old sister, malika, were pulled from the sea close to the pier in clacton. police say a 15—year—old girl, a relative of haider and malika, who was with them, is expected to make a full recovery. a 29—year—old man remains in custody after being detained on suspicion of the attempted murder of a police officer in birmingham. the suspect was cornered by armed police and tasered before being arrested in the moseley area. police said he had earlier punched an officer to the ground

before running him over with his own vehicle as he tried to arrest him in connection with a car theft. the officer is being treated for head and pelvic injuries. police say two men have been charged with a public order offence after they were arrested outside the home of arsenal footballer, mesut ozil, on thursday. on friday, the club annouced that ozil and his teammate, sead kolasinac, would not play this weekend because of security concerns. both players were targeted by carjackers in north london last month. police say they're treating the arrests on thursday as a separate incident. the troubled energy company sse, which supplies almost 6 million households in the uk, has said it's in talks about the sale of its energy retail business to 0v0 group. in may, sse announced plans to offload its energy retail arm after losing more than half a million customers.

in a statement, the company said no final decision had been taken. if the sale goes ahead, 0v0 would become one of the uk's largest energy suppliers, having been founded just ten years ago. the fbi is to investigate the death of the multi—millionaire businessman and convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein, who was found dead in his cell in a new yorkjail. the 66—year—old is believed to have taken his own life, while awaiting trial on new charges, of trafficking dozens of underage girls for sex. 0ur north america correspondent, neda tawfik, reports. the body ofjeffrey epstein is taken away from a new york hospital. the multimillionaire sex offender was found dead in his prison cell saturday morning as he awaited trial for sex trafficking. 0nce epstein‘s extravagant lifestyle saw him party with donald trump. the president called him a terrific guy.

he has since distanced himself from the convicted sex offender. originally a maths teacher in manhattan, the financier mysteriously accumulated a fortune that gained him entrance into high society and royal circles. he was close friends with prince andrew, seen here as recently as 2010 in new york. but his social status and opulent parties, his accusers say, masked lurid crimes at his many palatial estates. for more than a decade epstein faced allegations that he sexually assaulted dozens of young girls, recruited to give him and other wealthy men massages. 0ne alleged victim, virginia roberts, said jeffrey epstein instructed her to have sex with at least half a dozen prominent men, beginning when she was 16 years old. she was photographed with prince andrew and in 2015 she alleged she was forced to have a sexual relationship with him. buckingham palace has said those allegations are categorically untrue. in 2008, epstein pleaded guilty to lesser prostitution charges. that widely criticised plea deal is now under investigation

by the department ofjustice. after 13 months in prison he continued to live a life of luxury but he was arrested again last month and charged with sex trafficking. epstein was found unresponsive on the floor of his prison cell here in manhattan. many are now questioning how he could have apparently taken his own life and why greater precautions were not put in place after he was found semiconscious with neck injuries just two weeks ago. his victim say they would have preferred that he had lived to face justice. nada tawfik. part of worthing seafront has been evacuated due to an incident involving hazardous materials leaving people vomiting and with sore eyes. police are investigating the source of the chemical incident and have reportedly cleared the pier and the surrounding area. 0ur news norrespondent,

this is where you do your high—tech stuff. i love the door bell, by the way. the aircraft has some cracks here. fighter planes break a lot. it used to take months to order replacement parts from america. now they just print them. what kind of level of detail can you get? can you scan any part from any aircraft? yes. the level of detail goes down to about a0 microns. so it is... i don't know what that is. that is smaller than a human hair. it can pick up the fine details of the hairs and fibres on things. it can take nearly a day to print this so here, as they say, is one they made earlier. this is the broken part. adam, you have the part you printed. what's so good about that? we could print this in 23 hours. it may sound a long time but it prevented a few weeks of downtime

to order in the equipment. and this is the technical bit. in another part of the base, the engineering is a bit more old school. i assume that because planes are made of metal it fatigues all the time when they pull those g forces ? yes. especially the fighters. they are older and like to break a lot so we have to replace more parts than what we would normally have to. what difference have these made to yourjob? a huge difference so far. it cuts down at least a day off the repair that we do and makes it far more convenient for us. we can mass—produce parts here and we do not have to waste time to heat treat. beforehand you had to trial and error fit a part but with this thing it is accurate? absolutely. it lets us mould the part to exactly what we need and that way we can fit

it 100% of the time every time we need it. 3—d printing will transform the world. imagine a future where a doctor gives you a prescription and you print the drug in your home. for now, however, this technology is the key to keeping these aircraft in the air. richard westcott, bbc news. it's not how many of us would choose to cool ourselves down on a hot summer's day — sitting in a box of ice for over two hours. but that's what extreme athlete josef koeberl did yesterday in vienna, as he broke the world record for the longest time submerged in ice — he lasted two hours, eight minutes and 47 seconds. 0ne austrian newspaper described him as having the genes of the polar bear. now it's time for a look at the weather with helen.
