contacted the forensic pathology tea m contacted the forensic pathology team to investigate and determine who it is. for nora ‘s parents, meabh and sebastien, this has been the worst kind of ordeal, only yesterday they announced a reward for information about her. she has been vulnerable since the day she was born, she is so precious to us and our hearts are breaking. forensic teams are working in the area for the body was found, it's been treated as a crime scene, the police also brought in a helicopter which lowered a recovery cage to those on the ground. we confirmed there is a body there which resembles nora. yet to be confirmed by the family. and just now the body was winched by helicopter to the hospital. efforts are now being made to establish conclusively whether nora has in fact been found ten days

at hong kong international airport for a second day, as pro democracy protests continue there. demonstrations over fears that hong kong's limited autonomy from mainland china is being eroded, began ten weeks ago. hong kong's leader, carrie lam, has warned "a dangerous situation" has been reached. beijing has threatened to intervene, and state media has shown pictures of security forces gathering near the border. stephen mcdonell reports. pro—democracy activists have again brought hong kong airport departures hall to a virtual standstill. check—in counters have been closed, outbound flights cancelled, with tense scenes as passengers were blocked from flying out. sorry, sorry, sorry! i need to see my family. in previous days, protesters had treated the airport sit—in as a peaceful awareness exercise. now they've changed tactics. this is an active attempt to shut down business here.

demonstrators say economic disruption will now be used to draw attention to their calls for democratic reforms. hong kong's leader, carrie lam, said today they are thrusting the city into a state of panic and chaos. translation: so here i ask everybody again to put aside our differences and calm down. take a minute to look at our city, our home. can we bear to push it into the abyss and see it smashed to pieces? she was asked repeatedly if she was able to make decisions independently of the central government in beijing. this question has been answered on previous occasions. but you've evaded the question on numerous occasions. though beijing has expressed confidence in carrie lam's administration, state—run media has also shown convoys of paramilitary police gathering in the border city of shenzhen, with one communist party newspaper warning protesters that if they can't read this signal,

they are asking for destruction. come on, you're being really selfish here! at the moment, protesters are not backing down in the face of such threats. some even believe that triggering a major crisis might even further ther cause. either way, hong kong's political crisis has moved into its tenth week, with no end in site. stephen mcdonell, bbc news, hong kong. our asia correspondent, jonathan head, is at hong kong's airport. for a second day there is complete chaos here as passengers queue up for flights that might never go, more and more of them are being cancelled and the server once again looks like it's going to shut down for the night. when these protesters started the rally here at the airport the objective was to get international attention for their grievances, their complaints about the police. but in the last 2a hours

we've seen a change, they've come in today and completely shut down operations here. they are going around, you can see them, walking with posters dry to explain to these passengers why they've had to do this but this is massive disruption of one of the rope is my busiest transport hubs. the question is how much longer will the hong kong government put up with this? we've heard the chief executive carrie lam today insisting she will not change tack, she is backing the police and of course we are getting increasingly ominous sounds from beijing which is describing what is happening here as terrorism and saying it has to stop, that it will use an iron fist so these young protesters determined to carry on, a p pa re ntly protesters determined to carry on, apparently not intimidated by what china is saying, by what the hong kong government is saying and yet this is going on, day after day, something has to give. one of president trump's most senior officials has promised fast—tracked trade deals between britain and the us after brexit. speaking after talks with

borisjohnson in downing street, john bolton said deals could be agreed sector by sector, for swift progress. it's a boost for the prime minister's brexit strategy, but some are worried about what the white house would demand in return. our diplomatic correspondent, paul adams, reports. isjohn bolton the bearer of good news? he says the trump administration wants brexit to be a success, and knows how to help. trade deals are notoriously complicated. after any kind of brexit, britain will need them. mr bolton is offering an accelerated series of deals, sector by sector, with cars and other manufactured goods among the first to be sorted. what we can very warmly welcome is the political priority the united states is giving to trade negotiations with the united kingdom, and it's also a very important concession to agree to have these talks sector by sector in order that we can get some results as early as possible, because a full comprehensive trade negotiation

could take years and years. other areas including agriculture and that famous chlorinated chicken, will take longer to agree. but here, too, mr bolton said there will be lots of support in congress for speedy ratification. britain's successful exit from the eu, he says, is very much in america's interest. it all sounds very appealing. the us is the largest single export market for the uk. but as a bloc, the eu is still much bigger. and there's another concern. will britain's newly isolated status make us susceptible to all sorts of other american demands? i think you have to be a little bit careful of someone like john bolton bearing gifts, because this is a very transactional administration, as you know, and they will want something in return. this is notjust, here, we love you, we are going to make life easy for you post—brexit. there will be requests in return.

those could include siding with the us over iran, and the future of a nuclear deal struck four years ago. downing street says thejohnson government remains committed to the deal, but it's already hanging by a thread. and then there's huawei and washington's demand that britain should not involve the chinese telecommunications giant in any of our 56 network. mr bolton says tricky issues can be put off for now, but both are pressing and hard to ignore. paul adams, bbc news. police in australia have thanked members of the public in sydney, including three men from manchester, who helped restrain a man who was attacking pedestrians with a knife. a woman was stabbed in the incident in the city centre. police do not believe the man has any links with terrorism. phil mercer reports. terrifying carnage is how the police have described the rampage in sydney. video footage shows the

suspect apparently shouting god is great in arabic and shoot me. they are people you just stand! the man is eventually tackled to the ground, pinned down with a cafe chair and milk crate before police arrived. what's that? a group of british men had been working in an office nearby when they heard the commotion. they ran down and chased the alleged offender. i think he had a balaclava on, jumped on a cart wielding the knife with blood on it and we are like, what is going on here so we immediately, all of us, went down the escalator and we just continued to chase the guy and my brother and ijust ran to chase the guy and my brother and i just ran across to chase the guy and my brother and ijust ran across here, these boys followed and we managed to get a grip along with another guy and we've got a grip of him and restrained him fully. the courage of the three british men and others has been recognised by australian police. a number of members of the public actually physically restrained the offender and i want to acknowledge those people, those members of the public, who got

involved. they are brave and i can only use that word seriously, they we re only use that word seriously, they were significantly only use that word seriously, they were significa ntly brave only use that word seriously, they were significantly brave people. they approached the person with a mindset, what this person did the man wielding the large butchers knife has been identified as a 21—year—old man with a history of mental problems. australian police say he was acting alone and don't believe he has any links to terrorism. the motivation for the attack is not yet known. phil mercer, bbc news. toi.33 million, in the three months tojune. at the same time, average wages increased by their highest rate for 11 years. employment has hit record highs in the uk, boosted by greater numbers of working women. an influential committee of mps says the government should consider banning drivers from all mobile phone use, including hands—free devices. the commons transport select committee says current

laws should be updated, as hands—free phones arejust as dangerous while you drive, as actually holding a phone. here's our transport correspondent, tom burridge. if you're caught using your phone at the wheel, you can get a £200 fine and six points on your licence. the government toughened the law two years ago. but in a report out today, mps on the transport select committee say it's still an insufficient deterrent and they say maybe using your phone on hands—free at the wheel should be illegal too. darrell martin's brother lee was killed aged 48 by a driver who was texting at the wheel. darrell supports a ban on hands—free. the bloke that killed him was driving in a van at 60 miles an hour, and was writing a text message. it was a series of text messages and he was travelling about 30 seconds when he couldn't see my brother on a dual carriageway. he was cycling a time

trial on the road. and hejust wiped my brother out at high speed. i don't think there's any reason to be using your phone at all in a car, is there, really? and hands—free, it's another distraction, if you're in the car and you're talking to someone that's not in the car, your heads not really in the room, is it? the number of people killed or seriously injured in an accident where a driver was using a phone has been rising steadily in recent years. in 2009, 15 people were killed in accidents where a driver was using a phone. four years later, that figure had risen to 26. and by 2017, 43 people had died in accidents involving a phone. mps who wrote today's report say action is needed. it simply isn't safe, and that's why we think the government need to clarify, because the current law gives the impression that it's safe to use a mobile phone whilst driving if it's hands—free, and the evidence is that it isn't safe, that it's actually dangerous. the mps say evidence suggests the police are not enforcing the law.

the numbers of penalties issued in the past eight years has risen by two thirds. —— has fallen by two thirds. but banning mobile phones on hands—free would be controversial. many use it for work and some will argue that talking at the wheel doesn't have to distract you. tom burridge, bbc news. the time is 13:16. our top story this lunchtime: police in malaysia searching for a teenage girl from london who went missing on holiday say they have found a body. and coming up, the 2022 commonwealth games in birmingham is set to be the first major sports event to have more medal events for women than men. coming up in the sport on bbc news in the next 15 minutes: climbing onto the podium injapan — there is a world championship bronze medalfor great britain's shauna coxsey.

the climate change campaigner greta thunberg is in plymouth, where she's preparing to cross the atlantic by boat to attend a summit at the united nations in new york. the journey — on a small yacht with no basic amenities — will take two weeks. the 16—year—old says she's sending a signal by travelling carbon—free. our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt is in plymouth. tell us more about the journey, justin? greta thunberg, her father and crew boarded the boat a couple of minutes ago for a safety briefing, part of the last—minute preparations. the vessel will be leaving vicky in plymouth for new york at about tpm tomorrow, despite a warning of some quite rough weather. the skipper said it will not get any better in the next couple of years, nay as well even wednesday. i spent yesterday on board the boat with him and with

greta thunberg. i might feel a bit seasick and it's not going to be comfortable but that i can live with. this boat is a pure wind machine. and if it's really hard then i have to think it's only for two weeks, then i can go back to as usual. this trip across the north atlantic is even difficult for me and so we really try to do everything to make it as smooth as possible. greta thunberg is sailing to new york for a un climate summit of world leaders. she wants the trip to be as low carbon as possible. this boat is fast but she is not comfortable. so no washing, no shower. we just put clothes on and we keep them for two weeks. there is no kitchen, no fridge, no heating and no privacy. so here you have your little intimate corner, you can hide here and use the bucket. this blue bucket is the toilet! look!

so what is the point? i stopped flying, you don't only reduce your own carbon footprint but that sends a signal to other people around you that the climate crisis is a real thing. the boat's electricity is from solar panels and turbines. the emissions of greenhouse gases global haven't gone down, scientific studies show that around the year 2020 the emission curve must have been bended down if we are to have a chance to stay below the 1.5 or 2 degrees of warming limits. so this is the bunk where greta will be sleeping, there is little curtain should she want it and look at this, when the boats tipping over, you can pull this up and wedge yourself and you are actually quite squeezed in against the hull so you are not going to fall out and actually, i'll be honest, it's quite cosy. before i felt lonely both because i have

asperger‘s syndrome and i don't enjoy socialising but also because it felt like i was the only one who cared about the climate and the ecological crisis. no one i knew cared about this and i felt like i was the only one. it makes me feel good that i'm not alone in this fight and it feels like my life has got some kind of meaning lately, that i feel what i'm doing is meaningful. greta thunberg has come in for criticism in recent weeks. people say she is very good at raising the scale of the problem, less good at coming up with solutions. i pressed her on this, saying you said our houseis her on this, saying you said our house is on fire, you are not telling us how to put out the flames. she was pretty robust, she

said it is not the responsibility of children or teenagers like me to come up with solutions, that is the job of the world leaders she will see in new york in september. she said it is up to children and teenagers to raise the agency of the issue and up to adults to come up with the answers. studio: thank you, justin. the government has promised an extra £100 million for improving security and cutting down on crime inside prisons. it's the latest in a series of funding pledges for the criminal justice system, announced since boris johnson became prime minister. the measures will include airport style security to clamp down on drugs, weapons and mobile phones being smuggled into jails. june kelly reports. leeds prison — it's not a top securityjail, but like others, it's had a big problem with violence, caused by drugs which are smuggled in. it is one of the prisons weather has been a drive to crack down on this crime behind bars.

airport—style security is in place, including x—ray scanners and metal detectors. right, the scanner‘s going to start... now there are plans to do the same with prisons across the country. the latest in a series of government pledges of money for the criminaljustice system. this is part of a package of measures that have been announced in recent days, you've got 20,000 extra police, you've seen £2.5 billion invested in 10,000 new prison places and we've seen this announcement about improving security. taken together, these represent a really strong commitment the prison population is set to increase at a time when attacks on both inmates and staff are to record levels. it is the worst crisis in living memory, created by the austerity measures of this government. it is only now, for whatever reason, that they believe that they need to start adding money

and resources to fix the problem that they created. many believe the reason for the cash injection into the criminal justices is reason for the cash injection into the criminaljustices is because the new prime minister is planning for a general election. that is a foreign object within the body. whatever is behind it, there is a welcome for the new technology from prison governors. we have had a decade. written in prisons, organised crime groups have infiltrated prisons, phil bentham of drugs and we have not been able to combat that. with technology like this we will be able to reduce the level of drugs in our prisons. spice in a jailhouse! footage like this of a prisoner high on drugs was filmed on a mobile. as with drugs, phones are supposed to be banned. the planners for more technology to detect and block mobiles. like those on the front line, labour blame years of cuts for

the problems in the prison system. they had to announce the latest measures as tinkering at the edges. —— they have denounced. a vaccine to protect against chlamydia has passed initial safety tests, the first of its kind to enter human trials. experts say immunisation might be the best way to deal with the most common sexually—tra nsmitted infection in the uk, which can cause infertility in women. family spending on uniforms topped over a billion pounds last year. in scotland and wales, new policies have been brought in to offer grants to the poorest families — but in england, councils are finding it increasingly difficult to provide any such support. our consumer affairs correspondent, colletta smith, has been to huddersfield, to meet a group of parents trying to make the return to school more affordable. so, ok, tell me, how does the scheme work? a parent comes in, and they sign in, then they put their donations into the donation boxes. then they grab a bag,

and then they have a look at the logoed items, just take what you need. there are about 5,000 items to choose from. and you can just help yourself to..? to whatever you need. wow. what did you manage to get today? you've been stocking up? just some pumps, some trousers, jumpers and a t—shirt. as they get older, they get more expensive. i think it's good because instead of buying it, you can just get it. we're coming to drop off our old school clothes because then other people could borrow it. nothing goes to waste. everybody can come and bring things that no longer fit their children, and everybody else benefits then. we've calculated that average uniform costs this year are £210 for primary school and £250 per secondary school pupil. but if parents are able to buy plain items at supermarkets, they can make some big savings — as much as £118 per child. there is extra help available

in some parts of the uk. wales, scotland and northern ireland give uniform grants to children who get free school meals. but most councils in england don't offer direct support to low—income families. we need action now, both to reduce the cost of school uniforms, and make sure families have the help available to afford the cost that there will inevitably be. westminster say they will introduce a law to make schools consider cost when there's time in parliament. but kate's sick of waiting, so she's set up her own charity to fill the gap. last year we supported 855 families. and that saved approximately £50,000-£60,000. that has skirts, trousers, t—shirts, jumpers... most school uniforms look secondhand by the end of the first week. i think the stigma is changing for using recycled school uniform, because we're seeing so many more people ask. we've found facebook groups organising uniform swap schemes across the uk,

with over 311,000 members. if we can do this type of project more across the country, i think we'd see huge savings. i've got a t—shirt... a little parent power is making a big difference here to help cut waste and keep costs down. colletta smith, bbc news, in huddersfield. the 2022 commonwealth games in birmingham is set to be the first major multi—sports event to have more medal events for women than men. women's twenty20 cricket, beach volleyball, and para—table tennis have all been confirmed as additional sports. our correspondentjo currie reports. the games for every financial every little star, the ethos of the 2022 commonwealth. plenty of little stars we re commonwealth. plenty of little stars were shining at edgbaston this morning, helping to celebrate the news that women's t20 will be included, along with para table tennis and beach volleyball. england

with a chance, palmer takes it. provided made its debut at the gold coast last year and will return for birmingham, albeit without the sandy beaches. many people expect you have to play it on a beach, we have played in 70 venues around the world, some of the best tournaments have been in cities, we have been in city centres, car parks, all around. for us, we're really excited to see what can bring. the inclusion of these sports means it will be the biggest para and women's sport programmes ever seen at a commonwealth games, and for the first time there will be more women's medals on offer compared to men. shooting did not make the cut, leading to india threatening to boycott. shooting is not a compulsory sport, it is optional, it is up to the host country to decide if they want to put it in order to, burning and decided they could not haveit burning and decided they could not have it because of the venues they had, we will to meet them and

discuss with them and i am convinced we will have them at these games. edgbaston has hosted some of the most memorable moments and cricketing history and in three yea rs cricketing history and in three years it will be the venue for all of the women's t20 games happen next commonwealth. it is the first time the sport has been included and is set to break boundaries. really excited, i hope the crowds will turn up excited, i hope the crowds will turn up like they did for the world cup, to have that atmosphere, i think to play in front of that atmosphere is something that as players you would really, really enjoyed. birmingham stepped in as hosts at the end of 2017 after durban was stripped of the games following its failure to meet criteria. it will cost close to £800 million, but organisers say that despite the time constraints, they are determined to deliver the greatest games yet. clients featuring paddington bear

visiting some of london's best known landmarks will soon be showing up in our wallets. they show the character at the tower of london and st paul's cathedral. it follows the release of clients last year two 60th anniversary of the bear, first created in 1958 by michael bond. time for a look at the weather. susan powell is here. it isa it is a real story of chopping and changing this week, one day on, one day of intensified weather one day and wet and 20 the other. lots of sunshine across the uk at the moment, the weather watchers had scented beautiful pictures, there has been clad towards the south coast. it is brightening appear but there will be sharper showers continuing into the afternoon, perhaps across cornwall and devon. elsewhere, the cloud has blistered across scotland, northern england and into eastern england, some heavier showers at the moment will persist into the afternoon, tapering

off into the evening.
