in the uk or around the world. at least 50 more people have died in pakistan as torrential downpours and flash floods continue to wreak havoc in several parts of the country. the kabul river has broken its banks, sweeping away houses and forcing people to flee. nearly a thousand people have been killed sincejune and the government is deploying the army to help. our correspondent pumza fihlani sent this report. moving to higher ground.

families wade through the water with the only belongings they could salvage. in southern pakistan, many streets have been turned into rivers. families have set up tents on the few roads that are still visible. it's been more than ten days of heavy rains and yet the streets are still flooded. this is one of the main roads linking this community to the outside world. now, something has also happened here. many of the people of this community say they've lost their homes to the floods. what they could do was they moved to slightly higher ground and they managed to set up temporary shelter. now, they've said to me they're worried about more rains coming and they don't know how long they will be able to stay here. just behind, this new tented community is where their homes used to be. from up above, devastation as far as the eye can see. balochistan and sindh provinces have suffered the worst disruption. homes, roads, and infrastructure reduced to rubble. around sindh the provincial government has been distributing aid but the need outweighs its resources and are appealing for help. this man and his family has lived here for more than 50 years.

his home was destroyed within minutes, he tells me. translation: we've lost everything. all our belongings are gone. the only thing we managed to save is 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.

i've been speaking to asif sherazi who is pakistan's country director for the aid agency islamic relief worldwide. he explained how difficult it is to reach people needing humanitarian assistance. it is to reach people needing pakistan has received unprecedented rains starting from upcountry, like swat area, and then it ends up to baluchistan, also affecting punjab, khyber pakhtunkhwa, and sindh. in baluchistan, the situation started earlier, where i was in the beginning of august and i was also there since yesterday, and during my whole trip there was a continuous rain and the rain was continuously destroying more and more infrastructure. that included the houses of the people, livelihood assets, as well as the public infrastructure, bridges, roads, so it's a destruction everywhere, and if i compare it with 2010 floods, the situation is worse. 33 million people in total

are impacted because of this flood. 4.2 million are directly affected. around 100 districts across pakistan are severely affected by these floods, so it's one of the mega disasters we have seen in our recent history. and the situation is threatening to get even worse. how much support are you able to currently offer, and what are your concerns going forward? you are very much right. the situation is unfolding day by day and it's becoming worse and worse. before, it was a flash flood. now, another phenomena is the riverine flood, which has started from kpk. and you also mentioned in your report that the flood is passing in the river kabul, so if this river will go to the main indus river system, so it means that more riverine flooding is also expected. and the situation is that,

unfortunately, there was very little awareness in the last couple of weeks. for the last one week, we can see some awareness, media coverage of this disaster. the government is also launching an appeal of 160 million flash flood appeal with the united nations. but, at the moment, the resources are scarce. even we, our response plan, was a value of 15 million, but so far we are only able to secure 18% of the funding, and the immediate needs in which islamic relief is reaching to 7,000 families include food, non—food items, hygiene and wash items. shelter is a big issue, water and sanitation, and the need is growing, especially when the whole villages are washed away and people are living in makeshift arrangements, either in the government buildings or schools or their relatives. and the situation is not improving.

more and more humanitarian assistance is required from everyone. even here in pakistan, in this week, we have seen that resources are mobilised, and a hope that some impact of this mobilisation will also come on the diaspora community living in europe and the uk and the resources will come out. ——in europe and the usa and the resources will come out. at the moment, the situation of financial resources is really, really bad. the number is really very big and resources are very scarce, so it's just a race against time. the uk's chancellor, nadhim zahawi, has warned that any new government help to support people struggling with soaring energy bills will need to include middle income earners, such as senior nurses and teachers — earning up to £45,000 a year. the rise in the energy price cap yesterday means the average annual energy bill could rise to more than £3,500 from october. charities have warned that lives could be at risk if the government doesn't offer more assistance. frances read reports.

becky has a full—time job but, for the first time, she's having to choose between feeding her young family and being able to pay for gas or electric. i've never had to use a food bank before. i've had to use one twice in the past two weeks, purely because my money isn't stretching anywhere. it's the same for maureen, also worrying about how much each load will cost. her and her husband george are now looking at making dramatic savings ahead of the winter. we're scared. in the past we could go out and about, meet friends, go for lunch, you know, treat my grandchildren, go to the pictures. we thought about it very carefully and there's no way. there's no way on this earth that we're going to be able to pay those

bills and continue life as it was before. the price set by the regulator 0fgem is rising by 80% in october. a typical annual energy bill paid by direct debit is currently £1,971. in october, that will rise to £3,549. and prepayment metre customers will pay an extra £59 per year, taking the new typical bill on a metre to £3,608. as charities warn about the impact of those rises on families, now real concerns that lives could be at risk and create further strains on the nhs. this is going to add further pressure on that health system and put it under even more pressure. we will get avoidable deaths unless we intervene now. labour has accused the government of failing to meet the scale of the national emergency, and said that millions could be left without support. the government says it will provide help,

but pressure is going on the conservative party leader candidates to outline further plans. it's really important that people know they're not alone, that there are so many people out there facing the same challenges and that organisations like ours, like citizens advice, are here to help. but given the scale of these rises, there's only so much that we can do and it's absolutely critical that the government urgently look at extra support for people this winter. heating and cooking are but some of the bare essentials, but these are exactly some of the things families may have to go without, hoping that the consequences for them won't be too severe. frances read, bbc news. the environment secretary george eustice, who is supporting rishi sunak in the leadership contest, said plans to deal with the cost of living crisis are being prepared. rishi sunak has said that he will remove vat. liz trust has said that she will remove green energy...

those are both small... those are both relatively small amounts, given the scale of it. they've both said that there will also be more targeted interventions, as well. but i think it's right that when they become prime minister — whoever it is — they will want to look at all of the options, properly costed, and to understand the impacts of each of those options. and that's why what we're doing now with the current government is working up a range of options that are there, available for an incoming prime minister. the civil service are working up all of those different options so that they can make the right choice based on the right evidence. and it's not long to wait — it's the right way to go about this. earlier our political correspondent had more detail on what shape the financial assistance could take, depending on who wins the leadership contest? ione wells. which is still in charge, firstly, there is the current government, which is still in charge, even if they are deferring the responsibility for this decision to the next prime minister. we've heard from the chancellor, nadhim zahawi, who said that households, even with incomes up to £45,000, those kind of middle earners may well need more support this winter.

now, his officials in the treasury are drawing up a range of different ideas, the pros and cons of both to look at. but, certainly, all these ideas will be subject to whatever the next prime minister chooses to go for, so then it comes to the other two camps. we've got rishi sunak who has been quite clear. he's written in the times again today saying that there is a choice between tax cuts or more support for people this winter. and he would like to see more support directly for people this winter, saying that there would be some direct support for everyone, but also some more targeted support, particularly for lower income earners and pensioners, three things like pulling certainly that around the welfare system to help those kinds of families the most. now, liz truss�* camp has been a bit more tight—lipped about what she would do. she has said she would cut national insurance tax and also scrap green levies on bills but, of course national insurance isn't something everybody pays and her camp has been under pressure, particularly as she is the frontrunner to outline

what specific support she may give some households this winter. police investigating the fatal shooting of nine—year—old 0livia pratt—korbel at her home in liverpool, have arrested a second man on suspicion of murder. he was detained in the dovecot area of the city. it follows another arrest of a 36—year—old man, made by armed police on thursday. both are being questioned by detectives — as alice key reports. a young girl adored by herfamily, the killing of olivia pratt—korbel has horrified people in liverpool and beyond. last night, police arrested a 33—year—old man near the scene of the shooting on suspicion of murder and two counts of attempted murder. it's the second arrest made this week. this aerial footage from a police helicopter shows the moment a 36—year—old man was detained by armed officers on thursday night. 0livia's mother, cheryl, was injured in the attack as well as 35—year—old joseph nee, the man police believe was the intended target.

detectives say this is the car that took him to hospital, and want to speak to anyone who saw it in the days leading up to or after the shooting. an outpouring of grief from the community is clear from the flowers and cards left at the scene. yesterday, the home secretary priti patel visited to see for herself. former players from liverpool and everton football clubs have also paid their respects. managerjurgen klopp told a press conference the club's thoughts and prayers were with 0livia's family. i can't even imagine how it must feel. it's absolutely horrible only to think about it, and it's such a tragedy. if we can help in any kind, we will. that's clear — it must be clear. and police are still urging anyone with information to come forward to help bring those responsible to justice. alice key, bbc news. the headlines on bbc news... a national emergency

is declared in pakistan. millions are forced to leave their homes following the heaviest monsoon rains in decades. the uk chancellor has said that middle—income earners will require further help from the government to pay their energy bills, notjust the poorest. donald trump has reacted angrily to the publication by the us government of a heavily redacted affidavit that led to the search of his florida home. the statement explains why the fbi wanted a warrant to recover material allegedly taken illegally by the former president.gareth barlow has more gareth barlow has more this is the remarkable document used to justify one of the most historic fbi raids in us history. amid the blacked—out text, agents argued they had probable cause to believe, in their words, that evidence, contraband, fruits of crimes or other items illegally possessed would be discovered at the former

president's mar—a—lago estate. the criminal investigation and 8th of august search began after the national archives, which maintains white house records, identified classified files among 15 boxes recovered from mar—a—lago in january this year. an fbi review recovered 184 classified documents, including 25 marked as top secret. it is unprecedented. since the presidential records act of 1978, and which i helped draft, that this is the first time a president ever carted off to his home documents that were prepared in the course of his presidency. those documents belong to the united states, not any individual. the former president, along with his legal team, argues he has the right to declassify the documents, and he has already done so. legal experts question those claims — as did, on friday, president biden. well, ijust want you to know i've declassified everything in the world! i'm president.

i can do it all. come on! declassified everything. i'm not going to comment. i don't know the detail. i don't even want to know. let the justice department take care of it. of the 32 pages that triggered the search of mr trump's beachfront property, 21 were blacked out and several contained no visible words at all, the fbi arguing that revealing the identities of witnesses could potentially lead them to being subjected to harm, including retaliation, intimidation and even threats to physical safety. what the document doesn't address is what agents discovered in the 11 the justice department was also confirmed, concerned that that could give a road back to the investigations they believe are coming. —— a road map.

what the document doesn't address is what agents discovered in the 11 boxes they retrieved from mar—a—lago earlier this month. investigations expected to continue now behind closed doors as it reviews the documents and potentially calls more witnesses. we may hear nothing more until we learn if criminal charges will be laid. gareth barlow, bbc news. the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelensky, says the situation at the zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant — which is occupied by russia — remains dangerous. the plant was temporarily disconnected from the power grid on thursday for the first time. mr zelensky has demanded that the un nuclear watchdog visits the plant as soon as possible (pres)meanwhile, russia has blocked the adoption of a joint declaration meanwhile, russia has blocked the adoption of a joint declaration by a united nations conference on nuclear disarmament. that's because it objected to a draft text citing "grave concern" over military activities around ukraine's nuclear plants — zaporizhzhia in particular. the nuclear non—proliferation treaty, which is reviewed by its 191 signatories every five years, aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons. the us state department has announced that president biden is planning to appoint an ambassador to the arctic region. the move comes as russia

increases its military activity in the arctic. china has been constructing research stations. experts investigating the deaths of thousands of fish in a river between poland and germany say the cause remains a mystery. scientists are still trying to identify what they say was probably a pollutant added to the water, that triggered a catastrophic chemical chain reaction. people living upstream have told the bbc they first reported fish dying as early as march. jenny hill sent this report from szczecin in poland. a river that should teem with life instead gives up its dead. fish are dying in the 0der in their thousands. in a single day, they told us here, they pulled 16 tonnes of corpses from the water. "after eight days of this,"

lucas says, he just feels numb. and it's not over yet. we joined these scientists as they test the water to try to establish what happened. check a lot of parameters of water chemistry. they suspect an as—yet—unidentified substance polluted the river. that caused a type of algae to flourish. its toxins then killed the fish. you can really sense the frustration, the concern here, and that's because they still don't know what's caused this. and while they can't identify it, they can't predict how long the effects will last and, worse than that, they can't say that it won't happen again. it may be that the hot summer, low water levels played a part. even now, a wave of poison is still spreading down river. translation: the scale of its ecological disaster| is unprecedented in poland. it's a catastrophe.

we have never found so many dead creatures, so many dead fish, clams or snails. it's the first time it's happened and it's a serious warning. the first of dead fishes... but upstream, hundreds of miles away, this woman told us she saw it coming. ava runs this marina in a working port. the water flows via a canal into the 0der. people here first reported fish dying, the water changing back in march. translation: all the signs and traces that i followed i led me to conclude that the pollution got into the water directly here. i talked to many people, conducted interviews. my conclusion is that someone dumped chemicals into the port. few safe places left to fish, and on this unaffected lake, little confidence that the perpetrator will ever be caught. "someone's responsible, someone's to blame," he says, "but we'll probably

never find out who." there's despair here at the damage done, but determination, too, to better protect these waterways and the precious life they contain. jenny hill, bbc news, szczecin. the notting hill carnival returns to the streets of west london this weekend, for the first time in three years. dozens of bands will be performing alongside multiple sound systems and visitors from all over the world are expected to attend. wendy hurrell has been finding out what's in store on carnival day. it's back. notting hill carnival returns to the streets after three years. there are parades on sunday and monday starting at around 10:30 in the morning. it's a weekend of music, colourful costumes, and street food. it's been some time since the met

had to police an event of this size. partners have been working with the police for months now to make sure that our plans are in place. we recognise what the risks are — and we have planned for those — but we will also respond dynamically to any issues and instances that happen on the day. but after what has been a very difficult few years in so many ways, there is a special significance for this community. the costumes will reflect that sentiment. we get our inspiration from things that are current. we want our theme to be relevant, so this year "a time to remember" is a tribute to our history and our heritage, and how carnival came to be. but it's also very much a tribute to the skills and the contribution made by all of the people who didn't make it through the last three years. it's very important that it, you know, it continues and remains on the streets. as you say, it's been a very difficult three years, so the return of carnival

is welcomed and very much, you know, it's very important to a lot of people that this is happening, and they're very much looking forward to it. now, you might be going to your first carnival orjust a bit rusty. these are the top tips. plan your route — there and back. set a meeting point with friends. stay clear of overcrowding. leave the bling at home. know your carnival route. and most importantly, have fun! hong kong's peak tram, one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, has reopened with a new look after a year—long closure and a multi—million dollar makeover. the funicular, the oldest in asia, dates back to 1888 and previously drew more than 6 million visitors annually before covid—19 struck. the service welcomed back passengers on saturday — even as tight coronavirus rules, which have decimated hong kong's tourism industry,

remain in place in the city. for the upgrade project itself, the biggest hurdle was the supply chain. we had problems procuring parts for the production of the tram core, the system, including the logistics of the renovation materials, and that caused a big delay of the programme. garden centres in england will be banned from selling peat compost from 2024. the move follows a public consultation to fight climate change and restore peat lands. the wild, boggy areas are sometimes referred to as the uk's rainforests, because of their ability to soak up vast quantities of carbon. the remains of what could be the largest dinosaur ever discovered in europe are being excavated in a back garden in portugal. the fossilised skeleton of a sauropod was discovered in the central city of pombal in 2017, when a man began building work on his house.

you're watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris fawkes. hello, there. for many of us, it's a bank holiday weekend. what's the weather got in store? well, it's going to be essentially largely dry. we started off with a lot of sunshine this morning, and that's the way the weather's going to stay for most of us, with high pressure in charge. the only real exception is across northern ireland, where we've got this thicker cloud working in — that's bringing some patchy, light outbreaks of rain to western counties. otherwise, as we go on through to the afternoon, there will be one or two showers bubbling up across parts of the uk, but not many around — so even in the areas that i'm going to mention showers, there won't be many. now, there'll be a few popping up just inland from the south coast — the south coast itself should stay entirely dry. the west midlands could see an odd shower, parts of northwest england, running up to northumberland

and into eastern areas of scotland. but, as i say, even for these areas, there will hardly be any showers today, so the emphasis is on a lot of dry weather through the afternoon, and it will feel warm in the day's sunshine with temperatures widely into the low 20s, reaching around 24 or 25 degrees in the warmest spots of england and wales. 0vernight tonight, clearskies for england and wales. always thicker cloud for scotland and northern ireland, with outbreaks of rain. becoming a bit heavier, a bit more extensive across the western isles and into the highlands. temperatures overnight about 10 to 14 degrees. and tomorrow, again, it is a largely dry picture — although, that said, we start off with this thicker cloud, still some patches of rain affecting the northwest of scotland. perhaps an odd shower for northern ireland — maybe an odd one for england and wales — but for most it's another dry day with sunny spells. temperatures not really changing that much — 21 in glasgow, a 20 for belfast, up to 23 or 24 in the warmest parts of england and wales. and this area of high pressure's going to stay with us for what for many of us will be bank holiday monday. now, around that area of high pressure, we're going to get some slightly stronger

north—to—northeasterly winds blowing in across the north sea, and that will bring some slightly fresher air in to parts of eastern scotland, eastern england. and, after a sunny start, cloud will develop and it probably will turn quite cloudy for a time towards the middle part of the day. so temperatures easing a little across these eastern areas — the warmest weather for southern parts of wales, with highs of about 24. and, of course, it's the return of the notting hill carnival, which is on throughout the weekend and into bank holiday monday. tiny chance of a shower. essentially, it should stay dry throughout. and a lot of dry weather next week, as well, with that high pressure going nowhere very far, very fast — although we could see some rain towards the end of the week in the north.
