this is bbc news. i'm ben boulos with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. 99 people are unaccounted for and one is confirmed dead after the partial collapse of a 12—storey apartment building in miami. president biden announces a $1.2 trillion infrastructure package that has the support of democrats and republicans. we had a really good meeting and to enter your direct question, we have a deal. ——to answer. another horrific discovery in canada — more than 750 unmarked graves have been found near a former boarding school for indigenous children. most m ost pla ces most places were institutions for rape, torture and death.

down in germany they had concentration camps. while, we have them here in saskatchewan. they were called residential schools. it's back to the beach for some british holidaymakers but as the uk government updates its travel restrictions, uncertainty remains. and the cosmic dawn: scientists say they've found the first convincing evidence of when stars began to shine. hello and welcome. a major rescue operation is underway in miami in florida after an entire portion of a 12—storey apartment building collapsed to the ground. at least one person is known to have died. 99 people are still unaccounted for. on the left of your screen, you can see what the building looked like before the collapse. on the right, the pile of debris scattered around

the footprint of the fallen tower.

they do this certification works, they look for anything in the foundation, the plumbing, the electrical system, all those things are taken into account. and normally they get everything ready before going to the inspection because, you know, the goal is to pass the inspection and from what i talked to people in the case of the champlain towers, the inspection hadn't happened yet. they were in the process of, you know, trying to make sure that everything was fine because the a0 year anniversary was coming up and it hadn't happened yet. was coming up and it hadn't happened yet-— was coming up and it hadn't happened yet. thank you very much indeed. _ president biden says a bipartisan deal has been reached on his massive package of spending on us infrastructure. mr biden had initially wanted $2 trillion to overhaul and upgrade america's roads, bridges and water supplies, but he has backed a $1.2 trillion package. the deal has been brokered

by a group of republican and democratic senators, and the president confirmed he was happy with what they had come up with. we have a deal, and i think it's really important. we've all agreed that none of us got all of what we wanted — i clearly didn't get all i wanted, they gave more than i think maybe they were inclined to give in the first place — but this reminds me of the days we used to get an awful lot done up in the united states congress. we actually worked with one another. we had bipartisan deals. for more details, here's our north america correspondent peter bowes. this isn't signed and sealed yet. there is some way to go. it has to get through congress. and while the president is indeed sounding very optimistic, it certainly isn't the $2 trillion colossal programme he outlined a few weeks ago. but he has got a significant deal — at least, at this stage

— to improve infrastructure of roads and bridges and rail networks and water systems and broadband supplies around the country. things that are desperately needed in some parts of this countryjust to improve daily life for many people and also, the president is saying that while this has been at least a deal on the physical infrastructure, he wants to see it passed in tandem with measures under his american families plan and so, paid leave and childcare money for american families — and that is still to be finally agreed and negotiated as well. so while it may be harking back to the days of across the aisle agreements — the kind of politics we haven't seen in america in the last few years — and that is an achievement for president biden, though there is some work to be done to get this finally through. let's get some of the day's other main news. donald trump's former lawyer

rudy giuliani has had his law licence suspended in new york. a court there called his comments about the 2020 us presidential election "false and misleading". but the decision, made by a s—judge panel, is temporary, pending the outcome of a full disciplinary hearing. last year, more deaths than births were registered in the uk for the first time in over a0 years. in total, just over 683,000 births were registered, compared with nearly 690,000 deaths. the coronavirus epidemic led to a sharp rise in deaths last year, but birth rates have also been falling for the last decade. a tornado in the czech republic has killed several people and injured at least 150 with winds of 300 kilometres an hour and hailstones the size of tennis balls causing massive damage to buildings, trees and power lines. it struck in the south—east in the border region with austria and slovakia. people in gibraltar have been voting in a referendum to ease one of the strictest abortion bans in europe.

abortion is banned in all circumstances in the british enclave. the government is proposing to allow abortion where a woman's mental or physical health is at risk or when foetuses have fatal physical defects. the referendum will decide if a change in law will take effect. an indigenous group in canada says it has found hundreds of unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school in saskatchewan province. last month, the remains of 215 children were found at the site of another former residential school in british columbia. indigenous leaders say it's likely many more unmarked graves will be discovered. courtney bembridge reports. almost 800 unmarked graves undiscovered for decades until ground penetrating radar

are all on a so—called watch list which means they are at a higher risk of changing from green back to amber. caroline davies reports on another summer of uncertainty for british holidaymakers and the travel industry. britain does not have the feel of a country in the grip of a third wave of coronavirus. the prospect of foreign holidays for the fully immunised looks tantalisingly close, but rising virus levels here may put paid to that. just a month ago, the united kingdom had one of the lowest rates of coronavirus in europe, most of which was coming out of its second wave. but the rise of the delta variant here — first identified in india — has changed all that. now the uk has a higher level of cases than spain, greece, france, italy — indeed anywhere in europe, and it's still rising here. and that may make some popular holiday destinations think

twice before wanting to admit british tourists. there certainly is some fear right now about importing delta, particularly from the uk, the good news is that fully vaccinated individuals are considerably less likely to catch or transmit delta, or to be seriously ill if they get it. however, there's still a large portion of the populations in many countries that aren't yet fully vaccinated, and that's the real risk here. across the eu, three in ten adults are fully immunised. in the uk, it's double that — six in ten adults have had both doses. in france, where there's a lot of vaccine hesitancy, coverage rates are unlikely to ever match those achieved here. fewer than 2 in 3 of those aged over 80 in france are fullyjabbed, whereas in england it's more than 9 in 10. italy has introduced a five—day quarantine for travellers from britain. germany will only

admit uk citizens for exceptional reasons — even then, they need to quarantine for 1a days. it's urging the rest of the eu to follow suit in a bid to curb the rise of the delta variant. nonetheless, delta is expected to become the dominant strain across europe by the end of august. that really depends on the actions taken... so what impact might that have on cases? it's not inevitable that the spread of delta will cause a significant new wave, but that really depends on countries and public health authorities responding very quickly, robustly, in order to control any increase in transmission. last summer, there were no covid vaccines and yet some foreign travel was permitted. now those who are fully immunised are better protected than ever, but it's unclear how much freedom that will bring with it. fergus walsh, bbc news.

next week the chinese communist party will celebrate 100 years since its founding. 0ver that time, its mission has, in theory, been to lead millions of underprivileged people into a better existence. yet, in the 50s and 60s chairman mao's policies led to starvation and chaos. his death ushered in a different era — captured by a new generation of photographers, unafraid to show the real china as it rapidly developed. 0ur china correspondent stephen mcdonell spoke to one of china's most acclaimed street photographers about the massive, sweeping changes he's seen.

when he was a student and his father gave him his first camera, he found his calling. soon, he was documenting china under the upheaval of breakneck development. china's communist

party has produced some disastrous social experiments. mass starvation during the great leap forward. economic collapse in the cultural revolution. however, mao's death meant dong's coming to power in the period of opening up. the china he started observing from the 1980s and 1990s was now finally improving millions of peoples lives. under capitalism with chinese characteristics, there is an unspoken pact.

people will not complain about the party as long as living standards keep improving. even a massive widening wealth gap can be ignored. yen says ordinary people engulfed in the times are like leaves in the wind. and he wondersjust what will appear in front of his lens here in the years to come. it's called the cosmic dawn — when stars formed for

the first time. and astonomers now say that moment happened between 250 and 350 million years after the big bang. scientists describe that discovery as the holy grail of astronomy. 0ur science correspondent pallab ghosh reports. the night sky is littered with stars, but when did they first begin to shine? discovering when this critical moment known as the cosmic dawn began, has been this man's life's work. and now he has the answer. the holy grail has been to look back far enough that you would see the very first generation of stars and galaxies. we've determined their ages and that gives us the first convincing evidence of when the universe was first bathed in starlight. because we are ourselves the product of stellar evolution, in some sense, we are looking at our own origins. using telescopes

from across the world, the team analysed some of the most far—away galaxies. so distant, they are just a few pixels on the computer screen. there are also among the earliest, seen not long after the creation of the universe. by working out their age, the team calculate the start of the cosmic dawn, when the first stars began to shine. so what is the cosmic dawn, and why is it so important? the universe was created 13.8 billion years ago in the big bang. after a brief flash, it entered a period known as the dark ages. then, according to the new study, 250—350 million years after the moment of creation, the first stars began to form, bringing light to the universe. and here's what happened. the purple areas are clouds of hydrogen gas, becoming ever denser until they form stars, blazing like fireworks. this simulation is based

on astronomical data, but the new results indicate that the first galaxies will be bright enough to be seen by nasa's james webb space telescope, to be launched later this year. i am so excited! why are you so excited? isn't that just fantastic? that, as humanity, a tiny little civilisation on planet earth, that we can create a telescope that we can send up into space and peer back to the universe as it was just a couple of hundred million years after the big bang. this simulation shows just how different the very first stars were to what we see today. but these objects led to the formation of the universe as it is now, including everything and everyone on earth. we are, ultimately, made from the stars that were born at the dawn of the cosmos. pallab ghosh, bbc news. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @benmboulos.

hello there. northeast england's had the highest temperatures on thursday. one or two spots going closer to 26 degrees with some good spells of sunshine. but i don't think friday will offer a repeat performance because the weather has been changing. we've seen rain pushing in from the north—west in association with a band of cloud that you can see here on our earlier saellite image. this is a frontal system and as that drops its way southeastwards through friday, behind it, we pick up a northerly wind, quite a brisk northerly wind in places and that will be feeding cooler air down across most parts of the uk. so, a cooler day on friday, quite a messy weather day really, but across england and wales, many spots will start off cloudy with outbreaks of rain. further south, it should dry up and brighten up with some

sunshine and just the odd hefty shower into the afternoon. but for northern england in north wales, it is likely to stay grey and wet all day long. for northern ireland in western scotland should see a bit of sunshine. eastern scotland plagued by cloud and patchy rain. a brisk wind here keeping temperatures down to just 12 degrees in aberdeen, similar temperature there in newcastle, may be 20 down towards the south where we could see the odd thunderstorm breaking out through friday evening. and then into the early hours of saturday cloud left behind. some splashes of rain here and there minimum temperatures between 7 and 13 degrees. now, as into the weekend, it is a story of split fortunes. high—pressure trying to build in towards the north and west of the uk. low—pressure spinnng close to the south, the detail will change between now and then but closest

to that area of low pressure in the south, there's the chance of the odd shower to break out on saturday across southern england, parts of wales. further north, although we'll have quite a lot of cloud, it will be increasingly drying out through the day. temperatures between 1a and 20 degrees. and as we get into sunday, this area of low pressure will become slow moving across the continent and is likely to throw bands of rain up in our direction from time to time. southern parts of england, wales may be the newtons can see some rain at times on sunday, but for the north will see more in the way of dry weather and some spells of sunshine and temperatures bouncing back, 21 degrees in glasgow, a similar value there in london.
