were also wobbling. of prime minister shinzo abe, commentator: the finger amid rising coronavirus infections in the country. goes up immediately! azhar ali trapped by chris woakes, so let's begin. the captain gone for nought. one team was enjoying themselves, and it wasn't his. but then this man arrived. it's great to see you as always. we ba bar azam is pakistan's premier batsman. he was soon showing why. are going to start with the eye a fighting 50 as england started which has the extraordinary picture from fumbling their lines. beirut. of what it describes as a shan masood dropped byjos buttler. frustrated? just a little. lost city. the absolute doesn't play was then ended by the weather. station anna, that took place following that absolutely huge but it produced, perhaps, explosion. this is what is left. england's finest moment, as they amused themselves by trying to head a ball into a bin. that's right. throughout the day we the best things really do come, are seeing more and more details it seems, to those who wait. emerging about the devastation from cheering commentator: goal! yesterday's blast. and it's emerged andy swiss, bbc news. that's it. that it was down to a stack of now on bbc one, time for the news where you are. 00:02:50,803 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 have a very good night. ammonium nitrate that it been seized and held in the port for years. dangerously. what looks like a case of bad management, bad regulation.
10:33 pm
asa of bad management, bad regulation. as a result which 300,000 people have lost their homes and the death toll is now over 150 and is likely still to rise. i think in the eyes, one of the headlines from the uk side is that the government today pledged £5 million in aid. which in the grand scheme of things is a really small number. to put it into perspective when there was the 2005 earthquake in pakistan the government pledged 50 million straightaway. that was 15 years ago. it's a much smaller number in terms ofaid it's a much smaller number in terms of aid that they are pledging. as you said yourself, billions will be needed for the restoration of the city. yes, given the amount of destruction that took place. just looking onto the daily start which isa looking onto the daily start which is a lebanese paper, it shows a woman who is walking through the rubble, actually i'm looking at a
10:34 pm
slightly different image. but it's what we have on the front page once again we are seeing the absolute destruction. as anna pointed out peppa, 300,000 people are homeless. we've seen so many pictures of buildings collapsing, it's a devastating situation. yes, actually it's one of those stories is in it the visual images are so striking and drive home. yesterday where seeing all the social media and tv is people are recording the blast and looks like something really quite extraordinary. there's also the speculation of whether it's a bomb or what actually was going on. now as i mentioned as the daily star says, the government in lebanon is i'iow says, the government in lebanon is now declared a state of emergency. investigating and looking to see what actually happened. it was a temporary bull tragic action. the government says that they are
10:35 pm
planning to put officials from the port under house arrest in order to try and get to the heart of what exactly happened. 0n the other hand, you've got port officials claiming that they wrote six letters to the judiciary over the period that the nitrate was stored at the port. which is been since 2013. asking for it to be removed somewhere safer. that was ignored. basically suggesting that there was some government negligence. that will only fuel this anger that already exists in a route and the rest of lebanon towards... 0f exists in a route and the rest of lebanon towards... of course many people are already seething about the state of the country, the financial crisis which is left half the pot population in poverty. this tragic, tragic accident will only make that worse. hundreds of thousands are homeless. infrastructure in the capital city absolutely devastated. and that is
10:36 pm
before you even get to those who are injured or the tragic death that we know about so far. yes, we touched upon earlier, this was the situation in lebanon already difficult. power cuts, lack of safe drinking water, limited public health and now it's got this absolute destruction. daily telegraph image on that front page, it looks like something out of a war zone. 0ut it looks like something out of a war zone. out of a film. it's very difficult. but we are going to move on to another story that the daily telegraph is focusing on. it's the, just moving away from the situation in beirut for the time being. it's regarding coronavirus, pupils facing exa m regarding coronavirus, pupils facing exam chaos. a life sentence. talk us through what had teachers, they are raising two raising concern over the grading system anna, what's been happening. 0f grading system anna, what's been happening. of course children not being able to take exams in the standard way. when the crisis hit
10:37 pm
schools were shot, decisions were made by the schools regulator on how grades are going to be set for children who haven't been able to set their exams. i think the system was agreed but the really contentious bit of it is that there is no strict board appeals system. and this is something that mps on the education select committee have been warning about. that pupils just simply will not be able to appeal their grades. unless is the mps are set, they've got an army of lawyers and professionals who can help them do it. which obviously, really only leaves the very well. you might be able to navigate the system. and the rest of that year could really suffer what could be an unfair system. so in that case, how do you feel, what is a way out? was also
10:38 pm
many students who were absolutely devastated with the situation come up devastated with the situation come up with a grades feeling that it was desperately unfair. but it's a really difficult way of navigating this. everybody is going to be feeling very sorry for those who sat exam this summer. and whose teachers we re exam this summer. and whose teachers were putting in grades for them. because there is adjustments being made. all you need to do is look north of the border in scotland's where the higher results came out earlier this week ended up being frankly, looking like a bit of a shambles. the government scrambling to defend the system when potentially it was 125,000 predicted grades were downgraded by their scottish qualifications authority for top that has put the fear into many students down here. the system is different as anna says, the appeals process is scotland doesn't currently exist. where is is in england. it sort of highlight some of the failings of the system. which
10:39 pm
will end of the failings of the system. which willend up depending of the failings of the system. which will end up depending on how not just how pupils have done and how their teachers regard they would have, done in the upcoming exams. but also in how the school has performed over the previous few years will stop thereby, in scotland, the criticism was that students who were pupils in poorer areas or schools that did have such areas or schools that did have such a strong active record over a period of time but were nevertheless bright and got good grades were being downgraded because of the schools pattern of results. and i think the fear is that the system is different in england. that students could be similarly disadvantage. it's a really, really hard won. because i'll be hundreds of thousands of children out there waiting to find out how they did. and depending on those results for what they do next. whether that's a - or they
