a village says goodbye to another covid victim who couldn't get in time. even before the virus came along, they lived a life of isolation. now for so many in rural nepal, it has turned into one of desperation. rajini vaidyanathan, bbc news, gorkha, nepal. a british woman who was attacked by a crocodile while swimming in a lagoon in mexico has been released from hospital. our correspondent, will grant, has been talking to her twin sister who managed to fight off the crocodile and save her. a bandage hiding the teeth marks in her wrist. the only outward sign of georgia laurie's fight with the crocodile. i actually heard her scream, and i saw her being taken underneath by the crocodile, and then i realised she was really in trouble when i was calling out her name, and there was no response from her.

it grabbed her on the leg and her behind, and tried to death roll her and drag her away. so i was beating it on its snout, and it grabbed my wrist and my arm, so i had to beat it off with my other arm. their nightmare began here, at the manialtepec lagoon. an unlicensed german guide told their tour group it was safe to swim in these waters, despite it being hatching season for crocodiles. it's just one of those things where, you know, mistakes happen, and so i don't want him to feel any worse, because we all make mistakes. yes, pretty big one. georgia's bravery undoubtedly saved melissa, who still has months of recovery ahead. i helped save my sister's life, but also she fought for her own life as well. she really fought and clung on. will grant, bbc news, puerto escondido.

10:37 pm
conservatives are very worried about the fact increasingly, increasingly, more and more people are looking at labour, they're looking at the lib dems and about the fact that so many of the traditional voters cannot afford to own their own homes these are people who would ordinarily food conservatives and hopefully, hopefully, want to own their own homes and at the moment, we look as though people who have rich parents can on their own homes. but. there will be those _ can on their own homes. but. there will be those who _ can on their own homes. but. there will be those who say _ can on their own homes. but. there will be those who say this _ can on their own homes. but. there will be those who say this is - can on their own homes. but. there will be those who say this is a - can on their own homes. but. there will be those who say this is a by . will be those who say this is a by election and by elections come and 90, election and by elections come and go, but this is almost a pressure gauge of recalibrating results of the pressure blowing as it were and by the next election, things are settled down. the election landscape at the moment probably still looks
