in london for murder victim sarah everard last year. and why freya the walrus that had become a popular attraction in the oslo fjord has been put down in norway. a fire at a coptic church in greater cairo has killed at least 41 people and injured many. several children are believed to be among the dead. many rescuers were overwhelmed by the heat and smoke. the blaze at the abu sifen church in the capital's imbaba district, is reported to have been caused by an electrical fault. sally nabil has more from the scene. this is the church where the fire

broke out during the sunday mass. we understood from the people here that there were children and women among there were children and women among the victims. residents of neighbouring buildings told me that they rushed into the church to try and save the victims but the whole area was covered with thick clouds of smoke. they could hardly see. it took some time before ambulance cars arrived, dozens of cars have arrived here to move casualties to nearby hospitals. on our way here we have seen a number of fire trucks, security presence is quite heavy. the scene here is very hard to take in. a lot of people are quite angry. they want to know exactly what happened to their loved ones, why they lost their lives. translation: my heart is on fire and we want justice to be served. i my heart is on fire and we want justice to be served.— my heart is on fire and we want justice to be served. i found a lot of children _ justice to be served. i found a lot of children on _ justice to be served. i found a lot of children on the _ justice to be served. i found a lot of children on the ground. - justice to be served. i found a lot of children on the ground. the i of children on the ground. the t-shirts— of children on the ground. the t—shirts were torn apart and burned. i went_ t—shirts were torn apart and burned. i went out— t—shirts were torn apart and burned. i went out have some air and then

the area has been sealed off and rescuers are at the scene. sir salman rushdie has been taken off a ventilator and has spoken for the first time since he was stabbed several times on stage at a literary event in new york state on friday. his son zafar rushdie has described his injuries as life changing but says his usual feisty & defiant sense of humour remains intact. chautauqua county jail have released a picture of the alleged attacker, 24—year—old hadi matar. our correspondent, nomia iqbal, is at the hospital where the author is being treated and gave us this update. the details of his condition have come through that statement from his son, zafar rushdie, which he released on twitter. he said that his father is still in a critical condition inside the hospital. he's been taken off the ventilator. he's able to breathe unaided. and he did say a few words. zafar rushdie did go on to say that the injuries are life—changing and just to repeat what you said there, to quote him,

he said that his father's usual and defiant sense of humour remains intact. he also paid tribute to the audience members who jumped into action that day on friday at the literary event where mr rushdie was due to speak and helped mr rushdie. he was taken from that new york event, the neighbouring state of pennsylvania, and helicoptered here to the hospital where, as his son has said, he remains in critical condition. earlier, mr rushdie's agent, andrew wylie, confirmed to us that mr rushdie was on the long road to recovery. one of the suspect? what do we know about him? what do we know about him? so 24—year—old hadi matar has already appeared in court. he is accused of attempted murder and attempted assault of mr rushdie. he has pleaded not guilty to those charges. there's a lot of speculation

and reports that are coming out about him, including his alleged sympathies with iran's revolutionary guards. so this is a major political and military force in the country. and, of course, it was iran's spiritual leader back in 1989 who issued this fatwa, who issued this death sentence on mr rushdie for his book, the satanic verses, which many muslims consider blasphemous. having said that, though, it's worth emphasising that the suspect�*s motives have still not been officially established. 70 charities and community groups in the uk have urged the two conservative party candidates vying to be the next prime minster to show �*compassion and leadership" in dealing with the cost of living crisis. tomorrow labour is expected to call on the government to freeze the energy price cap this autumn, to help people deal with the rising cost of living.

here's our political correspondent david wallace—lockhart. with energy bills expected to continue rising, 70 charities have written to the two candidates to be the next prime minister. they're calling for £1,200 of government support to help low income families make ends meet this winter. throughout history, it has been government's role to provide support to households who need it when you are in a time of crisis. we saw it during the pandemic, using the furlough scheme and the £20 uplift to universal credit per week, and we need to see that again now. we need to see that the government at least doubles their support to low—income households right now, or we are going to be facing a winter of truly terrifying circumstances. a source of many of these concerns are predicted rises in the energy price cap. that's the maximum that can be charged for a unit of energy. last october, a typical family could expect to pay about £1,200 a year for electricity and gas. this october, it will be closer to £2,000.

forecasts now suggest that the figure could go up to £3,500 later this year and to more than 4,000 injanuary. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, is expected tomorrow to call for october's energy price cap rise to be scrapped, a position already suggested by the snp and the lib dems. the current energy minister insists this is not a realistic proposal. we would have to find a way to compensate people by effectively trying to abolish that price rise, and that would inevitably lead to higher taxes, so i think we have to be a little bit careful on some of these kind of... like, labour's seemingly magical solution, just wish it all away, that will have consequences. the treasury is collating cost—of—living policy options for the next prime minister to consider. rishi sunak has said that he will provide more direct support to vulnerable households. liz truss hasn't ruled out more support but prefers the idea of tax cuts.

one of her key supporters, the chief secretary to the treasury, simon clark, has questioned the universal nature of some of the support offered so far, suggesting a preference for more targeted intervention. a new prime minister will take office on the 5th of september, just a month shy of another rise in bills — an immediate challenge for whoever takes over here at number ten. david wallace—lockhart, bbc news, downing street. here in britain, legal action against six protesters for attending a vigilfor sarah everard has been dropped, after the crown prosecution service said the "legal test" for prosecution had not been met. the six were accused of breaking covid lockdown rules by attending the vigil in march last year following the abduction, rape and murder of sarah everard by police officer wayne couzens. there were clashes with police after several hundred people attended the unofficial gathering. let's speak tojeni pinto edmunds, she's one of the six people who attended the vigil who will no

have said a major fire there has been brought under control and 8,000 people can return to their homes. but another wildfire in south—central france has reignited, forcing more than a—thousand people from their homes. our correspondent bethany bell is in the gironde region. firefighters have brought the big blaze that was burning near here under control but they've warned that the fire isn't entirely extinguished yet and, if you look behind me, back there in the woods, you can see what they mean, there's wisps of smoke, which is a sign that there are still burning embers on the ground or sometimes below the ground that could, in the wrong circumstances, be whipped up into another fire. but there is very good news for the 10,000 people that were evacuated from near here. they've been told that they can now go home after days of staying in emergency temporary housing.

this is news, the latest headlines... at least 41 people have been killed in a fire at a coptic church in cairo. it's believed to have been caused by an electrical fault. the son of author sir salman rushdie says his injuries are life changing, but that his feisty and defiant sense of humour remains intact, after he was stabbed in new york state. a walrus that had become a popular attraction in oslo has been put down due to concern over public safety. nicknamed freya, the walrus rose to fame after clambering on to boats to sunbathe — sometimes sinking them. people would get too close to the animal, which weighed 600 kilos, despite warnings by the authorities. norwegian officials say she was euthanised in a humane way. but there has been public outcry over the decision. joining us now is karen hall, a marine mammal advisor

at naturescot, an organisation which is responsible for scotland's natural heritage. what do you make of this decision? pretty shocked and horrified actually and i had the pleasure of seeing her when she visited shetland for christmas last year and it was certainly a joy to watch. i think it is very difficult to get our heads around why she was euthanised when there were so many other actions that perhaps could have been taken first. �* , , that perhaps could have been taken first. �* , ., that perhaps could have been taken first. , ., , first. and i suppose that is the heart of the — first. and i suppose that is the heart of the problem, - first. and i suppose that is the heart of the problem, isn't - first. and i suppose that is the heart of the problem, isn't it? | first. and i suppose that is the - heart of the problem, isn't it? but it was a joy to watch and despite people being told it's not safe, keep your distance, they would just be so tempted and get so close that the authorities were probably worried that they would face legal claims are action if people were harmed. ~ ,,., , claims are action if people were harmed. ~ , �*, ., harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal, harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal. it's — harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal, it's a _ harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal, it's a very _ harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal, it's a very big - harmed. absolutely, it's a wild animal, it's a very big wild - harmed. absolutely, it's a wild i animal, it's a very big wild animal as well, but there are ways of crowd

title. her opponent was having an excellent year and pushed halep to three sets in what was the brazilian's first w t 1000 three sets in what was the brazilian's first w t1000 final. it was halep who came through the deciding set 6—3 to lift the trophy for the third time the two—time grand slam champion has been out of the world's top ten for you but she will now be the world number six on monday. that's all this but for now i will have more in the next hour. a delegation from the us congress arrived in taiwan today. they're visiting for two days and will meet president tsai ing—wen. their visit comes 12 days after one by the house speaker nancy pelosi, which led to an angry reaction from the island's neighbour china. mark cozad is a senior defense researcher at rand corporation — he told me more about what position this puts china in.

it puts china in a very difficult position after speaker pelosi's recent visit. they had a very aggressive and very forward leaning response that lasted several days, stopped maritime and air traffic, or at least delayed it for a period of time and created a great deal of concern in the international community about what china's intentions were and there was a lot of speculation that this was more a rehearsalfor something larger and that it actually demonstrated some of the capabilities that china had if it did in fact decide to use force against taiwan. so where you go from here is an open question and they can continue on with the exercises, but it is this case and several others of chinese attempts in the past have shown that when they try to make these demonstrations, they oftentimes backfire, they tend to galvanise international opinion against china and in this case it has actually had the same type of effect on taiwan, as is delegation demonstrates it has not deterred future delegations of us lawmakers from going to taiwan.

we have had a lot of speculation, a lot of discussion about the possibilities that with to some of these more aggressive actions, there could be something that goes wrong, as we have seen with the missile launches as well as the very aggressive air activities that have been going on now around taiwan over the past week. there is a possibility that you have an accident, that you have some sort of inadvertent damage created by one of those actions that could lead to something more, but i think both sides are intent on not letting this evolve into a conflict, so i think that's a major portion china is well—known for its ancient practice of acupuncture as a way to promote the healing process and general well—being. now increasingly, pet owners are turning to the method to help soothe the aches and pains of their beloved cats and dogs.in this beijing clinic, pets of all shapes and sizes are being signed up for treatments — care that their owners say is less

invasive and comes with fewer side effects than conventional treatments. after a week work somewhere in the uk we have recorded a daytime high of 30 degrees or above every single day, we are finally seeing the heat come to an end and moving into the new week. we could see 30 degrees somewhere in eastern england today, but it will be cooler than it has been through the weekend. thunderstorms becoming more the talking point for us as we look into the daydays ahead. by no means everywhere for some areas will remain stubbornly dry while others get intense downpours. eastern scotland getting some thundery showers and further north is more persistent rain for central and eastern scotland and northern

ireland. it is cooler here but still 30 possible in eastern england. overnight into monday and tuesday and showers pushing from the south and showers pushing from the south and they could be heavy and thundery for southern counties in england and this rain is persistent across eastern scotland. it is certainly fresher for scotland and northern ireland but still very warm and humid across much of england and wales as we start on tuesday. through the day on tuesday, though, low pressure comes to take hold across the uk. it's a messy weather picture. what does that mean? well it's hard for us to pin down the exact details of where the rain will sit through the day, but basically, it's a chance of showers just about anywhere in england and wales and thundery and in scotland and northern ireland more cloud and outbreaks of rain and quite a cool northerly breeze. a difference to recent days. by wednesday, low pressure still is there but its focus to the south of the uk and high—pressure tries to sneak back in

across scotland and northern ireland. wednesday looks dry for scotland and northern ireland. but claudia times and it looks like any early showers were clear for northern england and wales but it will focus on southern england with more intense downpours on wednesday and that could be the day when we the return of... 23 degrees sedan 10 degrees on the figures through the weekend. and then for the end of the weekend. and then for the end of the weekend we very much pick up an atlantic influence. westerly winds and weather fronts passing through but not in much in the way of rain but not in much in the way of rain but will see more sunshine towards the end of the week but not a return to the highs we have had recently.
