from classified papers that were seized from donald trump's home in florida. and restoration of gloucester cathedral's cloisters, known to many around the world as hogwarts. hello and welcome if you're watching in the uk or around the world. pakistan is appealing for further international assistance to help cope with flooding, which has already claimed more than a thousand lives. millions of people have been affected and many have been forced to abandon their homes. a government minister says her country is unable to cope with the unprecedented flooding and that the disaster is a consequence of climate change. officials in the southern province of sindh are warning that more floods and landslides are likely there, as waters from the north flow downriver. our correspondent pumza fihlani

reports from sindh. swathes of land across southern pakistan have been turned into islands. the rains have been unforgiving, and the water is still trapped between people's homes. homes, roads and infrastructure have been destroyed, and some villages completely isolated. this week, authorities issued fresh warnings for people to get to higher ground. for some, that meant beside a road. families left with what they could manage. this man tells us he has lost everything. translation: we've been sitting here for one week. | there are 20 of us in my family and we don't know where to go. these tents that you are seeing on either side of this main road are where people have come to seek temporary shelter. they tell me that something was different about this year's rains. the water hasn'tjust come from flooded rivers,

but it was torrential rains from the sky. and unlike in the past where, over time, the water would recede, the water is still here, and it's been weeks, so they don't know when they will be able to go back to their homes. they tell me this is the worst kind of limbo. balochistan and sindh provinces have seen the worst destruction. aid into communities has been slow. authorities say they have limited resources. it's become clear to everyone that the impact of these floods will be faced for months, but before communities can even think about the aftermath, many people are left wondering how they will survive until the end of the day. the floods have taken lives, and for the survivors depending on farming and livestock, livelihoods are now severely at risk. pumza fihlani, bbc news, sindh. peter ophoff heads the pakistan delegation of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. the situation is really

dire in pakistan. in most of the parts of pakistan, we are facing unprecedented flooding here. many people that lived through the mega floods from 2010 are thinking back about the days in 2010,12 years ago now, and really are saying that the floods we are facing now could be worse than what we've seen then. the situation is bad, as your reporter was saying. roads have been flushed away. we have more than 3,000 kilometres of roads that have been washed away. 160—plus bridges have been destroyed as well. so it is really, really, really, very, very bad situation here. the infrastructure has been reinforced and there has really been a focus on stronger houses and other issues related to possible flooding and earthquakes as well. however, the floods that we have seen now, the flash floods, the urban flooding is, as i said, it's unprecedented. we've never seen anything

like that before. one of the issues, of course, is as well, one of the bad areas affected is baluchistan province, which normally does not see any flooding and is an arid area. baluchistan would normally see droughts. this year, the flooding from the monsoon has been immense. so instead of drought, it is floods. so, yes, infrastructure in these areas is not built for this, of course, and it's also one of the poorest areas. pakistan has been working hand—in—hand with pakistan red crescent. in the response, we have sent our volunteers to the different districts and different provinces. response has been given. we have been distributing shelter material, we have been distributing mosquito nets because, of course, we are also dealing with malaria and dengue. we have distributed hygiene kits and also deployed

water purification units, which is very important to have safe drinking water. so we have done that with the support that we got from our emergency fund. we are now going to launch an appeal for 13 million swiss francs, in which we will help 133,000 people, and the needs will be the same. so we have to replenish our stocks, our pre—positioned stocks, on shelter material. we need money for the mosquito nets, for blankets, because winter is coming. so we need winterised kits as well for the affected population. people have lost everything. so that's what we need. britain's prime minister has said whoever succeeds him will announce "another huge package of financial support" to help people cope with soaring energy bills this winter. writing in a national newspaper, boris johnson acknowledged that the next few months would be difficult, as households face sky—high costs. opposition parties and charities say more help is needed now. the price cap set by the regulator ofgem will rise by 80% in october.

that means the typical annual energy bill, paid by direct debt, will increase from £1,971 to more than £3,500. pre—payment meter customers will pay an average of £3,608 — that's £59 a year more than those on direct debit. our political correspondent ione wells said the prime minister's promise is not a guarantee of support. he's not the person who will be able to make that decision. he has been under pressure to say something, to be more visible, given this cost of living crisis has gone on through the summer, while the tory leadership contest has been ongoing. but i think those comments reflect a general consensus across the political spectrum camps. that there will need to be more support made available

for households this winter and both candidates have hinted further this weekend at what that support might be, although we still don't have any exact clarity on that. there is quite a lot in the papers about what liz truss is looking at in terms of tax cuts. that's right. liz truss has stressed her preferred approach is to cut taxes rather than give people money back in hand—outs. her team have heavily hinted she would be looking at things like more targeted support for some of the more vulnerable households and has pledged to cut national insurance tax, but some reports today suggest she is considering other tax cuts like cuts to vat and possibly changing the amount people have to earn before they start paying income tax. but these are, at the moment, options on the table, not things that have been confirmed.

her team have made it pretty clear she is not to say anything more on what support might be made available until if, and when, she is selected to be prime minister. why are both rishi sunak and liz truss still sticking with that position? i think there are different factors at play, one of which is the electorate they are trying to make their pitch to. they are currently selling themselves to tory party members. it may be that once that particular contest is over, they have to think about policies that appeal to the much wider public, some of which may not necessarily be popular amongst their wider public, popular amongst their base and the tory membership. certainly, at the moment, the priority is to secure their place at number 10, so i think that is certainly a factor. i think separately, the line they would argue as the main reason is they want to be in government, have access to all the briefings and all the different pros and cons being worked out by officials and civil servants in the government operation before they make

any final decisions. at the moment, they are of course making plans for provisional governments with the teams they are building up around them, but want access to that direct government support from the civil service, which anybody taking the position of prime ministers have access to. police investigating the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel in liverpool have taken to social media to appeal for more information from the public. olivia was fatally shot after a gunman chased a man — both of whom had no links to herfamily — into her home. two men arrested on suspicion of her murder have been bailed, although one has been recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his licence. the appeal by detectives is being shown on youtube. we've got parents who've lost their children. we've got a nine—year—old girl who won't celebrate her 18th birthday. she won't celebrate her wedding, she won't have children of her own. if you've got information and you're withholding it, you are protecting the killers. we need your information. provide that information to us and we'll do the rest.

that video was by merseyside police. it's been almost a week since the nine—year—old was shot dead in her home. today, churches across liverpool will remember her. phil mccann reports from liverpool. we know that churches across merseyside will be remembering olivia today, and prayers will be said in her memory and books of condolence opened in churches here in dovecot in the north—east of liverpool and, behind me, floral tributes and balloons. these have been growing on the street corner here. these have been growing on the street corner here. at the police cordon just a few doors away from the house olivia lived at, and it is worth remembering what happened here five days ago. a man was being chased down the street by a gunman.

olivia's mum opened the door to see what the commotion was. and the man ran inside, the gunman ran in after him and olivia was shot in her own doorway. this has lead to shock and revulsion in this community. nearly a week on from this now. at anfield yesterday, the home of liverpool football club, there was a real moment when, on the ninth minute, there was applause for nine—year—old olivia and there was a rendition of you'll never walk alone. that song, of course, associated with liverpool football club. and the team captainjordan henderson had a special t—shirt on in remembrance of olivia. it has been her renters this week, but this week but people will be remembering. —— it has been a horrendous week this week, but people will be remembering. what is the latest on the police investigation? at the end of last week, it seemed progress was being made. there were two arrests on thursday

and friday and took place in front of watching children and their parents. both men were arrested by armed police but, last night, merseyside police announced both of those men had been released on bail. one of them, in fact, was returned to prison because allegedly, he had breached the terms of his licence. that means there have been no charges brought in this investigation and merseyside police are appealing for more information so they can bring those who perpetrated this crime tojustice. they are also looking for information about a black car which was seen afterwards, which is thought took the injured man away to hospital while olivia lay dying in her house. so merseyside police still very much investigating and people in this community desperate for answers this morning. the us director of national intelligence has disclosed that her office is to lead a review of potential security risks from classified materials recovered during a search of donald trump's home in florida. in a letter to two congressional committees, avril haines said intelligence officials were working with thejustice department.

a spokesman for mr trump accused the democrats of "weaponising" the intelligence community against the former president with what he called "selective and dishonest leaks". earlier, we spoke to andrew desiderio, who is a congressional reporter with politico. he broke the story, and we asked him what he found. yeah, so the director of national intelligence is initiating what's called a damage assessment. in other words, they're trying to find out whether donald trump's mishandling of these classified documents at his private residence in florida posed any risks or harms to us national security. now, they're going to be doing this review in tandem with thejustice department's criminal investigation, which is ongoing right now. they are looking into potential violations of the espionage act, the presidential records act, as well as claims of obstruction ofjustice on the part of the former president, and possibly his attorneys as well. so this is a big development. this is the first time the biden

administration is actively sort of engaging on this issue with members of congress, who are charged with oversight of the intelligence community. administrations of both parties over the years have been very reluctant to share this type of investigative information with members of congress, mostly because their view is that it would compromise the integrity of the investigation. but this is a very different scenario. many of the court arguments have centred on this idea that the public interest in this matter is so great, such that the public needs to see obviously some stuff with redactions. but members of congress also need to provide strict oversight to make sure that they are checking all the boxes when it comes to this really extraordinary matter here in the united states of a former president being under a criminal investigation by thejustice department — the same former president who could be a future president, who could be a candidate again in the future in the 2024 presidential election. so there are so many

factors at play here... the headlines on bbc news... pakistan is warning that millions more people are likely to be caught up in the unprecedented flooding that's already claimed more than 1,000 lives. borisjohnson promises more help for "eye—watering" energy bills. he says the details will be announced by the new prime minister. merseyside police have issued an online video appealing for help catching the person who shot dead nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel inside her home last week. there have been angry protests across india, following the government's decision to cut short the sentences of 11 men who were convicted of brutally gang—raping a muslim woman. men and women held placards and shouted slogans, urging the government to reverse the controversial decision. wendy urquhart reports. chanting this is one of many protests on the streets of india on saturday. there's utter disbelief that these convicted

rapists have been set free. calling for the freedom of muslim women, they waved banners blazing with slogans like "justice for bilkis bano", and demanded that the government reverse its decision. bilkis bano is the woman who was raped by 11 men who walked out ofjail on the 75th anniversary of india's independence. she and her two children were the only survivors when 17 muslims were attacked by hindus during the religious riots of 2002. in a statement, she said:

some activists are calling for an official apology for bilkis bano. others are afraid that rape is being normalised in india. translation: if the convicts did | all this and are able to get away| with their crimes so easily, that means rape culture is being normalised very badly. the gujarat government said various points were considered in connection with the release of the men, including their behaviour in prison and the fact that they had already served 15 years behind bars. dozens of retired civil servants have written to the chiefjustice of india, warning that the early release of these men sends the wrong message and puts the safety of women at risk. wendy urquhart, bbc news. explosive demolition experts have brought down two 100—metre—tall residential tower blocks outside the indian

capital, delhi. it was the largest operation of its kind in the country. a nine—year legal dispute ended with a supreme court ruling that the towers had violated construction standards. nearly four tonnes of explosive were used in the operation, which threw up clouds of dust. five thousand residents were evacuated, along with hundreds of their pets. a round—up of some news in brief: the us navy has announced that two guided missile cruisers are passing through the taiwan strait. the chinese military says it is on high alert, as it monitors the passage of two us warships sailing through international waters in the taiwan strait. they are the first american warships to transit the strait after china's angry response to a visit to taiwan by senior democrat nancy pelosi. dutch police say six people were killed when a lorry veered off a road and rolled into a barbecue party near rotterdam. seven more have been injured. the driver, who was not injured, has been arrested. the cause of the crash is not yet known. at least 23 people have been killed in clashes between rival political factions in the libyan capital, tripoli. scores of people were wounded in the fighting, which appeared to have calmed by saturday night.

the us ambassador in libya, richard norland, backed un calls for an immediate ceasefire. you mention things like lemons. sitting behind me here is my lemon tree, which is covered in green lemons, sadly, at the moment. so it is not very visual. but for example, i have had the biggest and best crop of fakes i have ever had.

they are the most luscious things i have ever had. i think the expertise you need is foresight, really. the problem is that the changes we are seeing in the weather are very unpredictable so it is very nice to have this hot barbecue summer, for sure, but next year, who knows, it might be cold and wet. that is the problem you are dealing with, not only as the climate changes, but as it becomes more weird, and we never know how extreme it is going to be. so it is quite difficult to plan for the future. so, all you can do is have a go at things, i think. but some of the things you can do are look for plants that are drought tolerant, for example. maybe plant a few more of those. and go for some of the things that are a little bit more spectacular. you say mediterranean, even in some instances a little bit tropical.

so, on a whim, i bought a hibiscus plant. and it has got the most enormous pink bloom on it at the moment. sadly, it is right next to a bright red thing that is in flower at the same time so my wife tuts at it every time she walks past. generations of children across the world will recognise the grand halls and corridors of gloucester cathedral, but they'll know them by a different name — hogwarts. the cathedral�*s cloisters starred in three harry potter films and, after centuries of wear and tear, they're now being restored — and as cheryl dennis discovered, it's a painstaking task. some of the most famous ceilings in the world — gloucester cathedral's cloister is internationally renowned and of huge architectural importance, but the use of cement by the victorians to patch up gaps has led to cracks and water damage.

in 2019, a survey confirmed these fan—vaulted ceilings are at risk. they were just using things they thought at the time were useful for the building. they still had those traditional skills as well, but with what we know, we can get rid of that cement and repoint it with lime and bring it back to its original state. known to many as hogwarts, the cloister has appeared in three harry potter movies. it is a huge area and one that is really beloved of people for all kinds of reasons, not least because it's one of our most popular filming destinations, but it's also one of the few bits of the old abbey life that still exists. the work is intricate and all done by hand, and possible thanks to a £550,000 donation aimed at preserving the area for visitors. i haven't been here for a little while, but it's reminded me of how beautiful it is here, and what a nice place it is to come to.

i'm fascinated into what parts harry potter was in. it would be good to continue - with restoring everything, so it can last for generations to come. the stonemasons here are going to be training a team of apprentices, and that means that their specialist skills are going to be be passed on to the next generation, and it's help they're going to need — there are a0 of these bays and there are 80 of these fans to be restored. no—one's really touched this since the 1950s, and it's quite possible that no—one will touch it again for another 100, 200 years, so it's really exciting. this first small section of work will determine how long the whole project could take — and we're talking years, if not decades. a unesco world heritage site in bosnia herzegovina has played host to a cliff—diving event. the iconic 16th—century

stari most bridge crosses the river in mostar. romania's catalin preda twisted and turned his way into second place. constantin popovici set a new record for total scoring at one event, as he claimed the win. the series now heads to switzerland. let's ta ke let's take you to the streets of notting hill in west london, getting ready for carnival taking place on the streets of that area in london since 1966. the streets of that area in london since 19636-— since 1966. you are watching bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with chris. hello again. well, for most of us, it's a dry—looking day, with spells of sunshine continuing to take us through the afternoon, and certainly a beautiful start to the day in parts of the uk. this was falmouth early in the morning in cornwall showing

the early rising sun illuminating some of this high cloud that's working across england and wales. we do have thicker cloud out to the northwest and that has been bringing a few patches of light rain. there's the continuing threat of an odd spit of rain across northern ireland and western areas of scotland into the afternoon. but for england and wales, it is a largely dry picture, a bit of high cloud making the sunshine hazy, but it will feel warm in the day's sunshine. temperatures widely into the twenties. now, for north wales, northern england, you mightjust see an odd light shower. you can consider yourself pretty unlucky if you catch that, though, because there aren't going to be many around at all. and the threat of rain for northern ireland and western scotland slowly diminishes really as we go through the day. so it will become that bit drier later on. central belt of scotland, eastern scotland staying dry throughout and the temperatures today widely into the low twenties, probably peaking at about 2k across the south of england and wales. that's where the warmest weather is going to be.

now, overnight tonight, there is a threat of seeing a little bit more in the way of rain developing across north—west england, north wales and perhaps northern ireland, too. but otherwise, it's a largely dry night with similar temperatures that we've seen over recent nights, about 10 to 1a degrees. bank holiday monday. northern ireland. england. wales. not looking bad again. there's the threat of a little thicker cloud for north—west england, bringing perhaps a spot of morning rain, but the afternoon looking drier. high pressure still in charge. so we're going to get northerly winds coming down the north sea and that will keep some of our eastern coastal areas of scotland and england a few degrees cooler tomorrow. the warmest weather, 25 towards the cardiff area. the notting hill carnival, of course, returns after a brief pandemic break and it should stay dry throughout really, with some spells of sunshine. and indeed, deeper into next week, this area of high pressure is going to hang about. so we've got more of the same to come weather wise. tuesday, wednesday, thursday, dry for the majority, warm spells of sunshine and temperatures not changing a great deal. however, we are going to see a big change in the weather patterns from friday onwards, as an area of low pressure develops. and bearing in mind we have the hosepipe bans in force across parts of the uk,

we need rain and it looks like we're going to get it friday and into next weekend as well. that's the latest.

hello this is bbc news with joanna gosling. the headlines: pakistan's climate change minister says millions more people are likely to be caught up in the unprecedented flooding in her country that's already claimed more than 1,000 lives. borisjohnson says the next prime minister will tackle "eye—watering" energy bills. the present government has been criticised for not doing enough. a lifting of the current energy price cap is set to see bills soar across the uk. police investigating the murder of nine—year—old olivia pratt—korbel have taken to social media to appeal for more information from the public. the appeal by detectives is being shown on youtube. more than a million tonnes of grain has now been shipped from ukraine since a deal was struck to allow exports to resume. that's despite the ongoing conflict with russia.

but the un has warned about storage issues with this year's crop. now on bbc news dateline london with shaun ley. hello and welcome to the programme which brings together some of the best—known british commentators and correspondents who write, blog, podcast and broadcast to audiences back home from the dateline london. this week, britain's elusive prime minister turns up in ukraine, as the country marks six months since the war began. we now know in the uk how much energy bills will rise from october, but not what the new prime minister will do when they take over. where has power gone in the uk? where's it going in

the united states? and in australia, how come much of it ended up
