1:32 pm
as it has been of late. showers continue this evening and overnight, probably more than we had last night across southern britain, and i could be some wet weather for too cold anywhere. then our area of low pressure starts to make progress it was. thursday, it is sitting through central parts of the country. similarstory, through central parts of the country. similar story, starting with sunshine and then the storm clouds break out in the afternoon. you can see how widespread the showers will be. a chance on something more persistent pushing into the north—east of england and south—east scotland. it could be quite thundery. temperatures are a notch down. a bit cooler on friday is our area of low pressure starts to push into the north sea. we are dragging in a cooler west north—westerly breeze for many, but
1:33 pm
showers will be heavy and thundery, localised flooding in places. it will be noticeable, particularly when the showers come along and we will have lost the humidity, so feeling a bit cooler. into the weekend, we are between weather systems, so it is drier than most. there could still be a few showers around and we will have morning mist and fog around. the winds turn lighter over the weekend. by the end of the weekend, we are looking at this complicated feature. that is the remnants of hurricane danielle, which could go to iberia. for us, things will turn wetter. you can see belfast turning wetter and windier, but for most, it is looking better than what we have had to be the week with drier spells and a bit of sunshine and temperatures creeping up sunshine and temperatures creeping up a bit. that's all from the bbc news at one — so it's goodbye from me — and on bbc one we nowjoin the bbc�*s news teams where you are.

1:35 pm
and crucially had lost the confidence of some of the board as well. obviously if you have that kind of thing, it went in particular wealth was up some a look at this is a bit of a throwback to when the former owner roman abramovich was in charge, but i'm told that they want the new ownership want a new collaborative approach and thomas tuchel may be to not buy into as much they would have liked. it shows new ownership has been decisive as the likes of roman abramovich has beenin the likes of roman abramovich has been in the past.— been in the past. looking forward, who are the _ been in the past. looking forward, who are the early _ been in the past. looking forward, who are the early runners - been in the past. looking forward, who are the early runners and - who are the early runners and riders? �* ., , , who are the early runners and riders? ., , , ., riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim _ riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim he _ riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim he is _ riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim he is a _ riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim he is a coach - riders? anthony barry will take over in the interim he is a coach alreadyl in the interim he is a coach already based in chelsea. there have been suggestions of bright and's graham potter being one of the frontrunners. he is someone who i think the ownership at chelsea will feel is a more collaborative manager than thomas tuchel, someone who can work with the sporting director and the ownership and who like to be quite hands—on and have shown that, todd boehly appointed himself as an interim sporting director too. mauricio pochettino, the former spurs and psg manager has also been
1:36 pm
mentioned, and even zinedine zidane, the former real madrid manager has been mentioned. a lot of a range of candidates, but i think that the minute it is looking like graham potter could be the frontrunner. we'll have to wait and see. thank you very much for that update. now some cricket news, and alex hales has been called up to england's twenty20 world cup squad as a replacement for the injured jonny bairstow. hales hasn't played for england since being dropped from the 50—over world cup squad in march 2019 because of an "off—field incident". he's has also been added to the t20 squad for september's tour of pakistan. meanwhile, yorkshire's harry brook will make his test debut when england play their third and deciding test match against south africa at the oval tomorrow. he'll replace the injured bairstow. brook has had a stunning season in first class cricket averaging over 100 with three centuries.
1:37 pm
in the early hours of the morning at the us open, russia's karen khachanov beat nick kyrgios to reach his first grand slam semifinal. it was a five—set epic and with krygios, afterwards, saying he was devastated to lose, his emotions never far from the surface, boiling over here in the third set. the australian had knocked out the defending champion in the last round and fought back to level the match at two sets all, finding moments of magic like this. but in the end, khachanov proved too strong for the wimbledon runner—up. he'll face casper ruud of norway for a place in sunday's final. well, kyrgios's mood didn't improve after the match, while khachanov was soaking up the applause from the crowd, kygrios was venting his frustration on two more rackets and a water bottle. france's caroline garcia knocked out home favourite coco gauff. she beat the 18—year—old in straight sets to set up a semifinal with ons jabeur, who reached the last four
1:38 pm
with victory over aila tomljanovic. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. that's bbc.co.uk/sport. i'll be back shortly with another update, jane. thank you very much. you are still watching bbc news and i amjane hill. we will take a look at a few other stories in the news here this lunchtime. the police watchdog is investigating the fatal shooting of a man by officers in south london on monday night. chris kaba died after a car chase in streatham hill. our reporter celestina olulode was at the scene. well, chris kaba has been described as loved and super kind. in fact, the mother of his fiancee told the bbc that mr kaba was due to become a father in just a few months�* time. so, of course, the family
1:39 pm
still really trying to come to terms with what has happened, still in shock. but at the same time, there is anger. people are asking questions, why was chris kaba shot by armed police just around the corner from here following a car chase? people are drawing their own conclusions. looking back at what happened with mark duggan, looking back to 2011 and again looking back over the time when we don't get the information that we need about an incident on the basis that it's being investigated. and as i've said, what always happens is because we're left out of certain pieces of information, information about the individual involved, usually negative information is put out there and no information about what's happened on the police's side. now, the iopc says it's launched an investigation, and it said that it understands that people want answers quickly, but it's asked the public to give it time to carry out its investigation. and a postmortem will get under way in due course.
1:40 pm
celesti na celestina olulode there in south london. police in western canada say they still haven't found a murky —— police in western canada say they still haven't found a murder suspect accused of carrying out one of the deadliest attacks in the country's modern history. one of the brothers was found dead, the other is missing. our north america correspondent nomia iqbal reports from saskatchewan. somewhere in this remote and dusty region, a killer is hiding. 20 miles of dirt and gravel take us into a community left devastated. people remain indoors in the james smith cree nation, as police continue forensic investigations. this is where most of the victims live, this area is home to 2,000 indigenous people. residents here tell us that myles sanderson was known to the community and he could still well be here.
1:41 pm
he has been on the run since sunday. 30—year—old myles sanderson has been charged with murder. his brother damien, also a suspect, is dead. he was found in this same area. police say his wounds were not self—inflicted. both men are accused of killing ten people in 13 locations, including in the neighbouring village of weldon. 77—year—old wes patterson, who ran a coffee shop, was killed inside his home. yeah, talking about what happened in here. ruby was a close friend of his. he was a kind—hearted man. he would have taken the shirt off his back and given it to you. until this day, i'm still terrified the other brother might come back and pick another random house and do it again. that is what i'm terrified of. there is a lot of fear and confusion here. originally, police thought myles sanderson was hiding in the provincial capital, regina.
1:42 pm
today, we have received information that is leading us to believe he may no longer be in this community. as a result, investigations continue and although we don't know his whereabouts, we are still looking, not only within the city of regina but expanded into the province as well. indigenous rights groups in canada have called this a massacre. the federal government has promised it will provide support to the communities. so far, no motive for these killings has been established. this is an area of very peaceful people. we get along very well, normally don't lock our doors or our trucks. we don't think of security as a major issue. now we have been experiencing a lot more violence and gang violence and crime, rural crime, and that has been raised and there are some issues around that but not to this level or this extent. police are continuing to identify many of the victims, whilst at the same time trying to hunt down the man who carried out one of the deadliest attacks in canada's modern history. nomia iqbal, bbc news,
1:43 pm
saskatchewan, canada. rescue teams are searching for hundreds of people left stranded orfeared missing, a day after a strong earthquake hit southwest china. at least 66 people are now known to have died when the 6.8 magnitude quake struck sichuan province. millions of people in the region were already dealing with a covid—related lockdown. azadeh moshiri reports. this is what a 6.8 magnitude earthquake looks like. and this is what is left of the towns it hit, in south—western china's sichuan province. rescue teams have been deployed to find survivors. some trapped under toppled buildings, authorities say dozens have been killed and warned hundreds of people are still stranded or missing.
1:44 pm
translation: we will continue to seize every minute _ and second to rescue the injured and check the disaster situation, carry out rescue work in a scientific and efficient way so as to ensure the injured people are transferred and treated as quickly as possible. for those still under a strict covid lockdown, there was no escape from the buildings they had been confined to. and away from urban areas, landslides have destroyed roads and created several obstacles for rescue teams. it's made getting survivors to safety challenging. teams have sometimes had to use makeshift bridges to carry people through. police and relief teams have also set up tents and food supplies for anyone who has been displaced by the quake. here, a reporter asks whether a family in this tent has eaten anything. yes, they say — some instant noodles. meteorologists have now warned
1:45 pm
that they are expecting significant rain to follow, making rescue operations even more difficult. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. in kenya, child marriage has been illegal since 2001, yet a quarter of girls are still married before the age of 15. the practice is especially common in rural areas such where most people are semi—nomadic cattle herders. female genital mutilation is also rife — more than 86% of girls are forced to undergo it. lisa—marie misztak travelled to samburu. stella is 22 years old. she's been living in the capital nairobi for the past year, studying at university. originally from samburu county, she was forced to marry a man when she was just nine years old and gave birth to a son at 11. one day when they came for me
1:46 pm
and they took me at night and they were taking me very far. i was taken very far from our place. i was to be married obviously. where did they take you? they took me there and they told me i'd be living there as a wife. i cried so much. stella managed to escape the marriage and got help. she's now studying accountancy at university. she's one of thousands of samburu girls who are married before the legal age of 18. hi, josephine. nice to meet you. drjosephine colella runs the samburu girls foundation, a rescue centre. she has helped to rescue over 1,200 girls from child marriage and fgm. this building here is a classroom, and this is where a girl starts their first education, like english, swahili, reading and writing. and there's 50 girls that sleep inside? yes.
1:47 pm
how many girls to a bedroom? it's like three bunk beds. they are six girls, but sometimes it'll be sleeping one to three to a bed. the organisation is a child protection organisation where we rescue girls from harmful cultural practices, which include female genital mutilation, which is 86% in this community, samburu community. we also rescue girls from child marriages. when i say child, it's literally children, because it's girls aged between 8— and 12—year—old who get married off after going through female genital mutilation. so we ensure that the girls are safe. so we provide them basic needs — shelter, food, clothing, medical, and they come here as a home. some efforts in recent years have been done to reduce child marriage rates, such as extending primary education. but change is very slow.
1:48 pm
one, this people are illiterate. and they don't know the benefits of education. so they value cows more than education. most of these older people are not employed, only their economy depends on livestock and in case of its now drought, they die, and the only source they get to restock is the kids. many believe that more needs to be done to give young samburu girls a chance to develop in life. lisa—marie misztak, bbc news, samburu. we will take a look at the few stories making the news here around the uk.
1:49 pm
millions of people in england and scotland have been invited to book their autumn covid boosterjabs. care home residents in devon were some of the first to receive them, as scott bingham reports. a weekly session to raise the spirits, and some residents were up and dancing... ..whilst others rolled up their sleeves to get their latest boosterjab. you've just had your jab. yes. how was it? painless. yeah, no trouble at all. didn't feel a thing. it's a matter of...could be a case of life or death, couldn't it? you know, that's not summing it up too harshly, but it is, isn't it? it can be. i think it is important - that we carry on having any immunisations that are recommended, and any of the boosters _ for residents and for staff, because it's still out - there and we've stillj got to protect them. they are very vulnerable.
1:50 pm
this is one of 700 care homes across england in the first wave of the nhs�*s autumn covid vaccine booster programme. we have contacted the care homes that we're going to come out to visit, and they're all booked in over the next week or two. and we're just working our way round them with the teams, going out and about doing as many as we can as quickly as we can — our emphasis being to protect the most vulnerable as soon as possible, care homes and housebound patients being in that category. the residents and staff here at honiton manor are among the first 1.6 million people to be eligible this week for the autumn booster. they'll also be some of the first to receive the bivalent vaccine. the uk is the first country to approve moderna's bivalent, which targets both the omicron and original covid variants. it's one of four vaccines approved for the autumn booster. and a further four million people will be able to book their jabs from next week.
1:51 pm
they include the over—75s and those with weakened immune systems, as well as health and social care staff who don't work in care homes. but people are being urged to wait for their invitation before booking an appointment. scott bingham, bbc news. climate experts say signs of a �*false autumn' shown by trees across the region are a warning that weather patterns are changing. leaves have started to change colour early this year because of the drought conditions seen through the summer. some trees have also started shedding early. beccy wood has been to the shugborough estate in staffordshire to find out more. meteorologically we are in autumn, but it is still a little early for trees to be shedding their leaves and we have seen quite a few doing that. it is thought to be down to what is being called false autumn, helped by the dry drought conditions through this summer. jamie burnett is a ranger here. we are standing next to a beech tree which is looking a little bit sorry for itself. yes, like you say we have had this
1:52 pm
long, hot and dry summer, and because of that the trees are stressed, they are trying to go into survival mode where they are pulling out too much water from their leaves and they can't get it back into their roots, so they are trying to hunker down and wait for the better weather. it is early, and it is quite worrying that this is happening, isn't it? yes, droughts happen. but we are getting more frequent droughts. that, combined with wetter winters, pests and diseases coming in, ground compaction and all of that, is making life harderfor the trees. and you, as somebody who manages to keep this estate and keep it looking tiptop, is it a worrying time? is it a difficult time? things are definitely getting more challenging. we are making sure we are doing the best we can to plan ahead, particularly with our plantings and things, making sure that we have got the systems in place that we need to try to weather the future climate as best we can. jamie, thank you. a lot of work being done here, asjamie said, to make sure they do protect the trees.
1:53 pm
as far as autumn goes, it looks like it has already started. becky word in staffordshire. paul and debbie run the crown inn near ripon in north yorkshire. they're having to close to save money on gas and electricity on quiet days, and even resorting to candlelight. phil chapman went to meet them. the crown inn here in grewelthorpe has survived for centuries as the heart of a community mentioned in the domesday book. but in modern times, even after making it through the pandemic, the pub's current owners, debbie and paul, are facing their toughest challenge yet. the pub was built in 1600 and has been going ever since then as a coach house and as a pub. but in recent times, the length of time i've been in the pub industry, i've never seen anything as bad as this. certainly in the last six months, since december, i would say it was in some ways it was worse
1:54 pm
than it was in the pandemic, for what were the serious costs that are coming out of the woodwork again and again and again. it's really, really difficult. as well as having to close on quieter days, pauland debbie are taking drastic measures to save on energy. some of the measures we are going to take in the winter just to keep the prices down slightly is we have four spotlights outside the building. we're not turning those on. we're going to put candles on the tables outside, lights in the windows, candles on the tables in the restaurant. and we've also taken light bulbs out in the restaurant already, and we're just going to put lamps on and candles and just use that and hope that that keeps the electric costs down as much as we can. without the businesses like the pubs here, you won't have the households being able to enjoy themselves or meet as a community. i know now quite a few people in the village, but if it hadn't been for the pub, i'd probably know virtually no—one in the village. this one is very important
1:55 pm
to this village. it's the centre. where else would you go? the hard thing to put up with is it's the mental stress really. i because of having to wake up and think, "how am - i going to pay this bill? can we survive another day?" to see the end of it, i would say — it's my personal opinion — - it's not going to be until autumn next year when we actually see i something come around. until then, many pubs like this will be facing darker times in the coming months if they can survive at all. phil chapman, bbc look north, grewelthorpe. money raised will pay for defibrillator kits across the city.
