150 people are still missing, four days on from the disaster. safety checks have been ordered on all buildings of a similar age. our correspondent will grant is at the scene. we have been to a parish church which is actually in the line of sight of the collapsed building itself. it feels now like a prayer is really all this community is to hang onto. every time the families have received an update over the past four days since this horrific event, it's been harder and more harrowing than the last. nine bodies have been pulled from the rubble, four of those have been identified but everybody here expects both of those numbers to rise considerably. and it is essentially as the parish priest himself put it, a question of when this moves from a search and rescue mission to a search and recovery mission. but either way, this is the worst event of this kind in florida �*s history.

late in the second half in their last 16 tie. but that's the sport from me. that's it. we're back with the late news at 10pm. hello. this is bbc news. portland stone has been used to build some of the most iconic structures in britain, including st paul's cathedral, the british museum and the bank of england. the gleaming white limestone
6:52 pm
is mined on a tiny island off the coast of dorset, which could soon be made into a tourist attraction, as ollie peart reports. this hole may not look like much, but inside is a physical archive of the history of earth. this is mark. he's lived on portland his whole life, and he's worked here for almost 110 years. he designed this mine, and it's true to say he loves this place. i started as a trainee quarryman back in the very early 1980s, and i've been here ever since, really. i heard that geologists lick rocks. some of us do. why? sometimes you can you can pick up diagnostic things about rocks from licking them. portland stone is exactly that, it's stone from portland, and these rocks have literally built every building you've ever seen.
6:53 pm
well, not every building, but some pretty iconic ones. buildings such as st paul's cathedral, the british museum and the un building in new york. and what's left behind is this astonishing cathedral—like space. and there's a team that are working hard so that you can come and see it. so what we want to do is to tell the unfolding story of life. it's a story that's four billion years old and unfolding still. how are we going to do it? we've got the most amazing stage set imaginable. it's going to be astonishing. this idea has been around in various guises for some time, and it's hoped backing from cornwall�*s eden project will help make this £30 million plan a reality. i know that we can create - for portland a hugely successful, world class destination that is both a visitor destination, _ as in tourism, as well as a scientific institution. i

if we don't get the support we need, i'm afraid we're just— going to have to go. and if you can't get the funding, what's the alternative? well, under planning, we will have to backfill the mine to the roof. so it will be completely backfilled and lost. surely, we can be more imaginative than that. this place really is magnificent. i mean, there's 150 million years worth of history down here, and i feel really lucky and privileged to be able to see it as well. the idea that you might not be able to see it, i find that pretty upsetting. ollie peart, bbc news. more than 110 % of lgbt people don't know where to seek support as they get older. the lgbt foundation says many older lesbian, gay and transgender people have experienced homophobia in care settings or social housing —
6:55 pm
but now new schemes are now springing up to support older people, asjessica parker reports. this is rita's story. i'm living in sheltered accommodation and a majority of older residents i know still would not accept me. rita wrote this testimony before she passed away in 2019. at times it makes me feel unacceptable and isolated. thank goodness i have friends here who accept me for what i am and not what others want me to be. rita had been at the heart of this lgbt group for older people. based in greater manchester, maggie is the group's community manager. she'd lived quite a nice teenage life and a young adult life. but as she became older, she had to go back in the closet and for one reason only. rita moved into sheltered accommodation. she used to listen to homophobic conversations. coming to our group, we then became her extended family. the group provides a space for companionship and support.
6:56 pm
i've gotten a lot of homophobic hate. i got liquid thrown on me from a passing car, and ijust froze, i thought it was acid. it scared the living daylights out of me. you know, there's not that many things out there yet for older people. this group now, it's done wonders for me, anyway, and ijust wish there was more of it. i'm not very confident - with other people, about me being gay, i must admit. i wouldn't advertise the fact, i if i wasn't in a gay environment. other lgbt people are more understanding, for a start, and as we've said here, it's like a family unit. research suggests many lgbt people, over 110%, don't know where to get support in older age, but schemes aimed at tackling these issues look to be on the rise. this old hospital site in manchester is set to be transformed into one of the uk's first lgbt older
6:57 pm
person's housing schemes. councillor bev craig is one of those behind it. lgbt people tell me that actually, everywhere else you can live in communities of choice, and actually maybe we need to think about that. as people age, you know, being 55, 60, 70, you're still in the prime of your life, you should be able to enjoy your life. maggie says she doesn't want people to suffer in the way rita did. i don't want any other older person to not be accepted, to hide who they are and to go back in the closet. jessica parker, bbc news. time for the weather with sarah keith—lucas. many parts sauce and blue sky and sunshine, but i was in short supply further south. this was the picture in devon during sunday afternoon, heavy rain there and will continue to see heavy downpours to this evening and overnight through
