and — costumes, music, great food and around two million people — the notting hill carnival returns for the first time in three years. the remains of what could be the largest dinosaur ever discovered in europe, have been found in a back garden in portugal. hello and welcome if you're watching 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. map)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've 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. and pumza hasjust visited larkana, in sindh, from where she sent this report. sindh province has been one of the worst affected by the floods. people's homes have been washed away across the province. we've come to one village, though, where the response to that has been different. the people of this community have decided that they are not going anywhere — they're staying put. there's one reason for that — they say everything they own is on this compound. one of the things they're referring to is that herd of cattle over there. they're saying if they leave them then everything is truly lost. another thing is some of the contents of their house. they're saying at least here they know that everything is still intact. speaking of the houses, though,

the foundations have been eroded by the rain and they're currently unlivable, but they offer some shade, so during the day they will try and tuck away there for a few minutes. this is a family of about 70 people. most of them are children. they've said that a number of them cannot swim so it is risky to try and get them into the water. they've told me it's not ideal to be living here, but it beats being out in the street in the open. at least here, they know that everyone is accounted for, and they know that all their belongings are still intact. 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. 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 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 pounds a year. the rise in the energy price cap yesterday means the average annual energy bill could rise to more than £3,5000 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 ofgem 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. and prepayment meter customers will pay an extra £59 per year, taking the new typical bill on a meter 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 said plans to deal with the cost of living crisis are being prepared. rishi sunak has said that he will remove vat. liz truss 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 they'll also do 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 ione wells had more detail on what shape the financial assistance could take, depending on who wins the leadership contest. 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. ——through things like pulling certain levers 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's the frontrunner, to outline what more specific support she may give some households this winter. police investigating the fatal shooting of nine—year—old olivia 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. olivia'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 in 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 olivia'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. our 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. let's return now to the floods in pakistan. we can cross live to islamabad and speak to our correspondent sahar baloch. sahar, what sa har, what is sahar, what is the latest? right now, the

sahar, what is the latest? right now. the peeple _ sahar, what is the latest? right now, the people are _ sahar, what is the latest? right now, the people are waiting - sahar, what is the latest? iii grit now, the people are waiting for the relief efforts and rescue workers to reach them as many people are displaced from their homes at the moment the national disaster management authority has said that more than 33 million people affected by the recent floods. this all started injune when the rain started injune when the rain started happening more than required number of rains which usually happen in these areas. it started from baluchistan which is anyway one the least developed to parts of pakistan and from there it reached the khyber pakhtunkhwa and then on to the punjab. right now the prime minister is trying to appeal to international organisations to get as much aid as possible. 33 organisations to get as much aid as ossible. j:;: ., , ., , possible. 33 million people affected. — possible. 33 million people affected. you _ possible. 33 million people affected, you say. - possible. 33 million people affected, you say. that - possible. 33 million people affected, you say. that is l possible. 33 million people i affected, you say. that is 1596 possible. 33 million people - affected, you say. that is 1596 of affected, you say. that is 15% of the population. how are they managing to get 80 people in that sort of stale. —— aid to people in that sort of scale? in sort of stale. -- aid to people in that sort of scale?— sort of stale. -- aid to people in that sort of scale? in most places, eseciall that sort of scale? in most places, especially baluchistan, _ that sort of scale? in most places, especially baluchistan, the - that sort of scale? in most places, i especially baluchistan, the roebling links have been totally cut off.

most of the bridge is made in a pre—partition era have also been destroyed so the road links are not there and also there is a big network from them as well —— the road links have been cut off. people are trying on their own example of someone is living in the capital baluchistan they are going with their friends to those places nearby and providing as much relief as they can but at the moment authorities, what they are doing that they are sending helicopters to the places but because of heavy winds they are also trying to not go through as many places as possible because there is a reason that, you know, there is a reason that, you know, there can be a crash. for instance, you must have heard about a helicopter crash, an army helicopter crash in baluchistan a few weeks back so this was also considered,, you know, one of the reasons of heavy rains in that area. in khyber pakhtunkhwa most of the area is also literally swept away. we also saw videos of really famous tourist places which have been really badly affected by this as well so right now people are just waiting along

with the government that the rain stopped. we have got a focus for the next few week that is not going to rain as much so that will fully allow the people in the government to gain as much strength as they can to gain as much strength as they can to rebuild whatever they have lost, they have lost a lot in a couple of days. they have lost a lot in a couple of da s. . ~ , ., they have lost a lot in a couple of da s. . ~' , ., , they have lost a lot in a couple of das. .~g , . they have lost a lot in a couple of da s. . ~ , . ., days. thank you very much. sahar baloch, thank— days. thank you very much. sahar baloch, thank you. _ 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. 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. 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

because 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. the justice department was also concerned that if they laid out the whole scope of their investigation and how they knew what they knew, that could possibly give a road map to president trump and his legal team for possibly defending against charges that could be forthcoming. 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. 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 oder 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 the 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 oder. 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 the traditional sound systems. this year organisers are expecting up to 2 million visitors. 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. sauropods were the biggest of all dinosaurs and the largest known land animals. palaeontologists say the reptile was about 12 metres tall —

about 39 feet — and 25 metres or 82 feet long. 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. earlier i spoke with diarmuid gavin, who is a tv garden and presenter. he explained why he supports this ban. i've been gardening for 40 years now, really since i left school, i've been gardening professionally, and 40 years ago i knew that peat... it's a really valuable resource, but it's a really valuable resource where it evolved. it should be left in the ground. so i've always known it's not

a great thing for us to use, and i can't understand why, how we're still, kind of, mining it, draining these bogs and, you know, releasing all this carbon, producing so many problems because we want pretty gardens. how beneficial is it and what are the alternatives? are there good enough alternatives? well, yeah, there are good enough alternatives. that's first. is peat beneficial for gardeners? of course it is. it's a kind of neutral media, growing media, so it's lightweight, it's sterile and you won't get any weeds growing in it when you buy your bag of compost. it doesn't have any feeds or nutrients, but they're very easily added to it. and it retains water, it soaks up water like a sponge, which is one of the benefits for when we leave it in the ground. so it's great, but it does

have some disadvantages. when it dries out it's absolutely awful, you won't get... your plants will die because it's almost impossible to re—wet, but there are so many alternatives and we really shouldn't be using it in the horticultural industry, i would feel. so in the horticultural industry completely? because, obviously, the ban is on the bags of peat that are sold for home use, but that doesn't mean that it won't be able to be used more broadly in growing plants? i know, so what that leaves it open to is when we go into our garden centres and our nurseries, many of the plants we'll be buying will be plants that have been grown in peat, in those plastic pots full of that peat—based compost. so we've known this day has been coming for an awful long time and we've, really, as an industry we have had an obligation to look at the other resources that are available and to start making maybe compost as consumers

ourselves at home. there's overwhelming public support for this ban. why do you think it's taken so long? do you know, there is and there isn't. people say they want to do the right thing, but it's very easy — that what really needs to be seen by people when they are spending money at the till. so they need to be asking the suppliers of the plants, has this plant being grown in a peat—free growing medium? and they also need to know that many of the growing mediums that are available out there are very easy to use and may have advantages over peat, may be easier to re—wet and a lot of them will have natural nutrients. can i show you this? oh, sorry about the dogs. that's ok. laughter oh, i thought you were going to bring a dog in. i mean, the dogs are welcome, too. but do show us the peat as well.

that's tao and he's from the ukraine so he came with the family who are living here. the family are wonderful but tao needs manners! but i was going to show you this compost that i've made. so this is just from green waste in my garden. it's anything that's i've cut down, any of the old foliage, of flowers, or roots or whatever and it's crumbly and its nutritious. and if you have any size of garden, not so much if you're on a balcony but if you have any size garden, we shouldn't be shipping out our green waste. tou can make that so easily and it's really good for the soil. it can be compost based or mulch from your garden. 0k. quickly, then, tell us how you did this because you say it's easy but i'm thinking, is it really? and don't you need loads of space to do it? to make compost? yes. i'm the laziest gardener in the world. i don't care about the weeds that are out there, down in the garden
