we've lost everything, all of our belongings are gone, the only thing we've managed to say that as our lives. the water's might has taken notjust homes, businesses too. in this video a new hotel, one of the largest in the area, was washed away within minutes. the owner told bbc he watched helplessly as it came down. it's becoming clear to the people trapped in these remote communities that the worst is far from over and yet all many could do was sit and hope, hope that the coming storm will be a little more forgiving.

it is a vulnerability many had never imagined. pumza fihlani, bbc news, sukkur. pakistan's minister for climate change, senator sherry rehman, says it is the worst flooding pakistan has witnessed in living memory. as we speak, we have 30 districts completely inundated, so this is reaching proportions much bigger than what we saw in the super flood in 2010. frankly, it's the biggest flood we've seen in living memory, and it has stretched all resources into the ground that human vulnerability and fragility is very high. we are unable to reach many places because our helicopters are unable to reach cut—off areas. you see the rivers levelling out into large flood plains. it looks like an ocean everywhere,

literally, if you see the images, and it's quite devastating. and we feel that, even right now, our numbers of affected people, of the rescues we were able to do — we even deployed the navy now because the areas can't reach. the usjustice department has made public some of the information which led the fbi to search donald trump's home in mar—a—lago. it's published a redacted version of the sworn statement, or affidavit, outlining the evidence which the department produced to get a search warrant. these documents are normally kept sealed. the affidavit when it was filed says that there was "probable cause to believe" that there are "additional documents" with classified information still at mar—a—lago and "there is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises".

the affidavit�*s conclusion makes the case that there is probable cause "to believe that evidence, contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed" in violation of three federal statutes would be found on the premises. donald trump has denied any wrong—doing. 0ur north america correspondent anthony zurcher is at west palm beach in florida and gave us more details on the investigation. the more details on the investigation. justice departm| pulled thejustice department has now pulled back the curtain ever so slightly into the criminal investigation over handling classified documents and presidential records here at tomorrow lago. in its 32 affidavit that was heavily redacted, the justice department said one of the reasons they thought there were still classified documents being keptin still classified documents being kept in unsecured location here in mar—a—lago was because documents given to the president and his associates to the national archives earlier contained over 100 instances of classified information mixed in amongst magazine articles, newspaper clippings, photographs and other

paraphernalia as well as 25 items marked top secret that included human intelligence gathering, foreign surveillance and court ordered domestic surveillance. the justice department also relied on witness testimony as part of its request, but none of that witness testimony was made public. it was redacted and the reason thejustice department gave her this was because they thought that if the identity of they thought that if the identity of the witnesses were made public, they can be open to harassment or even physical intimidation, and that future witnesses may be more reluctant to come forward if they see this kind of chilling effect. there's also the concern among the justice department that any revelations could lay out a road map for future obstruction of the investigation. now donald trump has had a lot of legal concerns since he's left the white house, but this one because it's a criminal investigation may be rapidly moving up investigation may be rapidly moving up to the top of that list. joining me from palm beach gardens in florida is former fbi agent and now criminal defense attorney

stuart kaplan. everybody says this is unprecedented, what did you think the significant is? i’m unprecedented, what did you think the significant is?— the significant is? i'm more surprised — the significant is? i'm more surprised as _ the significant is? i'm more surprised as to _ the significant is? i'm more surprised as to what - the significant is? i'm more surprised as to what was i the significant is? i'm more| surprised as to what was not the significant is? i'm more . surprised as to what was not in the significant is? i'm more - surprised as to what was not in the 32 page affidavit, not so much what was in there. there was protocol, excuse me, there are rules in place with respect to using those investigative tools that are less intrusive. ifelt investigative tools that are less intrusive. i felt from the very beginning it was unprecedented to use the most intrusive investigative resource to the fbi, the execution of a search warrant. certainly in connection with a former sitting president of the united states, donald trump. in my opinion, notwithstanding the heavy reduction in this affidavit, it really is a little bit of nothing, meaning the

information we all knew, that most presidents if not all presidents when they vacate the white house, leave with not only presidential documents but documents that may still be considered classified. certainly there is a mechanism in place, the national archive records administration has a mechanism to retrieve those documents, they were in negotiations and trying to work things out, and ijust think this is going to set a bad precedent for future presidents as well as other high—level government officials. this is not typical of how the fbi should be conducting their business. in that sense, do you feel the fbi have in a sense been used politically by the justice department? 50 politically by the justice department?— politically by the justice deartment? �* , . ., politically by the justice deartment? , . ., ., department? so i'll be clear on this, in may — department? so i'll be clear on this, in may 2017 _ department? so i'll be clear on this, in may 2017 when - department? so i'll be clear on this, in may 2017 when donald | department? so i'll be clear on - this, in may 2017 when donald trump, that then president, fired jim this, in may 2017 when donald trump, that then president, firedjim komi, the director of the fbi, and

rightfully so, because i think he lost his way and the fbi developed into a culture of being weaponised. ——james comey. into a culture of being weaponised. —— james comey. the into a culture of being weaponised. ——james comey. the mistake into a culture of being weaponised. —— james comey. the mistake which was not calculated by then president donald trump, not only should he have fired james comey, but everybody else within his executive staff. unfortunately that culture has continued to permeate since 2017, and i think we have seen examples time and time again with respect to the fbi getting involved in cases that the optics and the perception certainly suggests that they are being weaponised to garner political persuasion, and that's just not what we do as fbi agents, nor have the agency ever been considered a political extension of

the president, congress or the legislative branch. the one thing that has always stood apart, the agency has always been considered untouchable, neutral and detached from political influence. certainly in my career, i can be steadfast in saying i never thought the fbi was political. saying i never thought the fbi was olitical. ~ . ., ., political. what about the argument that ou political. what about the argument that you have _ political. what about the argument that you have a _ political. what about the argument that you have a president - political. what about the argument that you have a president who - political. what about the argument that you have a president who took these documents, you say he was perfectly entitled and that presidents tend to do that, they do that initially and then they sought stuff and it goes back to the archive. this has been a protracted negotiation, former president trump's legal team say they have been talking about it for a while with the national archives... in a sense, you could argue that you go through all the procedures but there comes a point where you think, they are not co—operating, they are prevaricating. we are told that some of these documents, and this is an allegation that has not been substantiated, part of the affidavit, we are told, with

identifiable individuals currently working undercover for the identifiable individuals currently working undercoverfor the united working undercover for the united states working undercoverfor the united states government, and therefore, to have that kind of information not under state control is risky. to our under state control is risky. to your point, and i will touch upon it in several ways. number one, your point, and i will touch upon it in severalways. number one, i your point, and i will touch upon it in several ways. number one, i can't conceive that president trump, when he left office, packed up his own office. there are what we call the gsa, the general service administration people who would have coming and packed up his documents. so let's be frank, donald trump did not put these documents into a box. number two, not put these documents into a box. numbertwo, i can't not put these documents into a box. number two, i can't imagine these documents that have been sitting there for a year and a half, in any way, has donald trump gone down into the basement and decided to rifle through them and decide he has any sort of design and nefarious intent to use these documents. the point is, because of the classifications

and a security risk to national security, because they would not be in the proper form, security, because they would not be in the properform, meaning procedurally they would not be safeguarded in what we would consider the proper protocol for those types of classifications, i can see that point. but again, what has been missed in this, the fbi, through their policy procedures, require less intrusive means if available. so a grand jury could haveissued available. so a grand jury could have issued a special subpoena, a directive by the grand jury that on such a date he would have been directed and commanded to bring those documents forthwith to a court of law. 0r, numbertwo, the department ofjustice could have gone before the united states district court and got a court order to have compelled the president to bring for as either an explanation about turning them over or to allow him to explain that he doesn't have them. again, so much leapfrogging to

go to the ultimate, most intrusive investigative tool, that is what is offensive to me. the only takeaway i can conceive of, and i think because i understand how the agency generally works, is that they went in under the auspices of national security threat with these documents, but really when you pull the curtain all the way down, this was nothing more than a fishing expedition, because they were hoping they would stumble upon other evidence less to do with national security documents and retention, and more to do with may be january 2nd or some other criminal activity. that is the way i read this affidavit. thank you so much for being with us on bbc news. have a good rest of your day. here in britain, it's been confirmed that energy bills will soar by 80% in october for tens of millions of people, causing real hardship

for many already coping with a steep rise in the cost of living. it's the result of the regulator 0fgem increasing its price cap — that is the maximum amount that people on a standard variable tariff can be charged per unit of energy. the bbc�*s business editor simonjack reports. abby dezso is a single mum living in ipswich. the energy price rise will hit her hard. she has a part—timejob which earns her £1000 a month, but her energy bill is going up from £80 to £250 in october, which she will struggle to find. is there anything you can cut? honestly. . . no. as she looks at her stretched budget, her primary concern is for her children. you don't want them to go without, so as long as they're fed, that's my main priority. as long as i fed them, i don't really mind. if i can sort them out, i'm happy with a bit of toast, that doesn't bother me.

but you just know that they're going to end up going without. announcing the new prices this morning, the regulator said it would fall to government to help households face this crisis. the truth is, this is beyond the capacity of the regulator and the industry to address. so, what we are saying today is we have ten days now until we have a new administration and we have a new prime minister and a new ministerial team. what i am clear about is the prime minister, with his or her ministerial team, will need to act urgently and decisively to address this. households in england, scotland and wales will get a £400 discount on bills, and people on qualifying benefits are eligible for an additional £650 from october under support already announced. there's a separate scheme for northern ireland. today, the prime minister said his successor would provide more. there's a pipeline of cash coming through over the next few months and through the autumn and winter, but that is clearly now going to be

augmented, increased, by extra cash that the government is plainly going to be announcing in september. while the labour leader said prices needed to be held where they are now. we need to have a freeze on those energy prices, do not let them go up to those levels, and pay for that in part by a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies on those excess profits. so, how on earth did we get here? well, this is how. this is the wholesale price of gas. it's not controlled by government or companies or regulators, it's driven by international supply and demand. you can see there, the russian invasion of ukraine, which sent it rocketing, and it soared again in recent weeks as countries scramble to buy up supplies of gas before the winter. and it's those wholesale prices driving our bills — that's the big chunk in blue there. now, liz truss has promised to suspend this little green bit down here — that's the social and environmental policy cost.

rishi sunak says he'll cut the yellow bit there — that's vat on fuel. so, little wonder there are calls for much more support than currently are on offer, especially as the industry experts who got today's number right have been saying that bills could hit over £5,000 injanuary and over £6,000 in april. back in ipswich, people at a local community centre were shocked and angry. it's actually made me feel ill, physically ill, to hear that figure. it's even higher, i think, than we were expecting. it's a nightmare, and most people can't afford it. i think of families. i'm a pensionerand i've got a struggle. it's almost an unimaginable number, iyou know, the sort of price of bills. that we're going to be facing come january as well. _ have you contacted us before? at the local citizens advice, many are seeking help for the first time. i asked the chief executive nicky willshere how she felt about the winter ahead. terrifying. i mean, i'm really worried about families and households, whether they're single households or not.

the cost of energy is unbearable now, without it going up. and i don't know how households are going to manage, i can just see that demand on our services and other voluntary sector services are going to go through the roof. most people's heating isn't on yet, and there is every reason to postpone that moment as long as possible. simon jack, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: for the first time since iran's 1979 islamic revolution, women are allowed to attend a national league football game. he is the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly 45 years ago to the day that martin luther king declared "i have a dream." as darkness falls tonight, an unfamiliar light will appear in the southeastern sky, an orange glowing disc that is brighter than anything, save the moon —

a search warrant for donald trump's florida home. here in the uk, a second man has been arrested on suspicion of the murder of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel, who was fatally shot at her home in liverpool on monday. it follows the detention by merseyside police yesterday of a 36—year—old suspect, who is now being questioned by detectives. danny savage reports. pictures from a police helicopter last night in liverpool. this is the operation to arrest the man suspected of firing the fatal shot on monday night. that arrest took place here in the huyton area of liverpool late last night. what neighbours are telling us is that armed police did seal off the street for a time. merseyside police are saying that they detained a 36—year—old man on suspicion of the murder of nine—year—old 0livia and also on suspicion of two attempted murders.

0livia's mother cheryl korbel and 35—year—old joseph nee were both injured in the same incident. this is the audi 03 which police say took him to hospital that night. detectives want to know where it was in the days before the shooting and where it was seen afterwards. the killing of olivia pratt—korbel has horrified people in liverpool and beyond. a little girl adored by her family. the home secretary visited the scene today to see the area for herself. all our thoughts are with olivia and 0livia's family at this really devastating and sad time. there's a lot of activity that's taken place. there's a lot of policing activity. there's also a lot of support. liverpool and everton football clubs also put flowers down close to 0livia's home this morning. ian rush represented liverpool. ian snodin came for everton. our thoughts and prayers are with the family, and it's... i can't even imagine how it must feel. it's absolutely horrible.

the only true thing about it, and it's such a tragedy. if we can help in any kind, we will. that's clear — that must be clear. despite having a suspect in custody, there is still a lot of police work police have arrested a second man, 33, who was detained near the scene of the shooting. detectives say they need information as much as ever. tigrayan rebels in northern ethiopia say government forces have conducted air strikes on the region's capital mekelle. according to a local hospital official there, at least four people, including two children have been killed, though that has yet to be confirmed. this latest incident marks the third consecutive day of fighting in the region, ending a five—month ceasefire. for more on the situation, here's our reporter kalkidan yibeltal, who's in addis ababa.

the fighting broke out after five months of neutrality, so progress and developments in assets to aid, as well as possible decision. the fighting is escalating ratherfast. we understand there is intense fighting on the ground between the government and tigrayan forces. there have been air strikes in the capital. the government forces have not addressed these accusations directly, but they released a statement warning people in tigray to stay away from military targets. so that seems to suggest that air strikes could be part of this ongoing war. women in iran have attended a domestic league football match for the first time since the 1979 islamic revolution. about 500 are thought to have been at the game at azadi stadium

in tehran on thursday night. diana nammi, founder of the iranian and kurdish women's rights 0rganisation here in the uk. it's a great achievement for women in iran, because since the islamic republic took power in iran, women have been segregated and it has been a systematic discrimination and inequality. it was, and still it is, an agenda of apartheid. so this has been under the pressure of lots of women demonstrating in iran, and they try to achieve to go to the stadiums several times, many times actually, i have to say that. and even their husbands, some women used

to wear men's clothes and pretend they were meant to be able to go. let's hope they bought a very different atmosphere to the terraces. you are watching bbc news. hello. we ended the week with some fairly quiet weather, and that's how it's going to continue into the weekend. and, of course, for many of us, it is the august bank holiday weekend. here's the summary — plenty of sunny spells on offer, a few showers too. but it will become breezy, particularly by monday, and really quite cool on the north sea coasts. but at the moment, the weather is quiet. weather systems out at bay in the atlantic. there's a chance that this weather front will brush the northwest of the uk through the course of saturday. but this is what it looks like early hours of saturday, clear spells in many areas bar the odd local shower. temperatures, 15 celsus in london, around 8 celsius in the lowlands of scotland. so here's that weather front, which will brush parts of northern ireland and the western isles of scotland,

just spits and spots of rain here and there. but i think through the afternoon, sunny spells will give way to showers in a few areas, perhaps the pennines, central england, in the south too. and saturday also sees the notting hill carnival or the return of the notting hill carnival since before covid. so, here, sunny spells in london and a small chance of a shower. 0nto the forecast for sunday, and again, anotherfine day, i think fine weather for most of northern ireland and the western isles of scotland as well. best temperatures, i think, in south—western parts of the uk, 25 for cardiff, closer to the low twenties there on the north sea coast. now on monday, we are going to see this high pressure strengthening across the uk, and also around it, we'll develop quite a strong breeze blowing off the north sea, which will drag in some low cloud. so from the aberdeenshire coastline, the northeast, all the way to east anglia, possibly the kent coast, it may actually turn quite cloudy.

in this situation, coastal areas really will be quite chilly. the best of the weather will be out towards the west, and again, the highest temperatures here, perhaps around the mid twenties for cardiff. but if you are in scarborough, for example, it could only be 16 with a keen breeze off the north sea. how about the week ahead? with high pressure in charge, the weather, again, is not looking bad at all. very little rain in the forecast with steady temperatures in the mid twenties in the south, the high teens in the north. have a great weekend.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are geri scott, political reporter at the times, and the author and journalist, emma woolf. thank you both for staying up late to be with us tonight. let's begin with the independent. there's a dark winter ahead — warns the independent — following 0fgem's announcement that the latest energy price cap will rise to more than three thousand pounds. and that price cap could

reach as high as 6,000
