16 years after madeleine mccann disappeared, a new hunt for answers. local media reported this area was sealed off ahead of the search, expected to start tomorrow morning. it will be the first major search in this case since 2014. madeleine mccann disappeared days before her fourth birthday stop despite her case being one of the most high—profile missing person cases ever, no one has been charged in connection with her disappearance. her parents, kate and gerry, have always maintained hope of finding their daughter. but german police, who are leading the investigation, are treating it as a murder inquiry. madeleine mccann vanished from her room in praia da luz on the 3rd of may, 2007, as her parents were in a restaurant 100 yards away. despite months of extensive searching, no trace was found. in 2008, a private

search of the reservoir funded by a portuguese lawyer found a bag of small bones, but they were not said to be of interest in the case. it is here that police will search again tomorrow. the surrounding area is around 50 kilometres away from where the family was staying. it is a play to have been visited by this man. he is being treated as a suspect by portuguese and german police. he is currently serving seven years in prison for the rape of a woman in portugal in 2005. he has never been charged over madeleine's disappearance and has denied any involvement, but he lived near praia da luz when the mccann family was on holiday. the last significant search in this inquiry was nine years ago, and was led by british police as part of an investigation that cost more than £10 million. madeleine mccann would have been 20 this month. the search for the little girl who disappeared 16 years ago continues. ellie price, bbc news.

well, as we heard, this latest search was requested by german police. let's get the latest from our correspondent in berlin, damian mcguinness. what more can you tell us about the investigation? as we heard in ellie's report, christian buchner is the prime suspect. when i talk to a state prosecutor this afternoon, he told me on the telephone that the would be a confirmation for about exactly what is going to happen in portugal. he did not confirm exactly that they were going to lead the search, but he confirmed that something was going to happen tomorrow. i think judging from the reports today, we only assume that is the search of this reservoir. the reason this is so important is that even though there is a prime suspect, even though he has a long record of various different offences, including the rape of a 72—year—old women in 2005, he has never been charged. what state prosecutors say, they are convinced he is their man,

they are convinced he is their man, they say they have all sorts of proof, but so far not enough evidence to charge him. they are afraid that after his prison sentence, his current prison sentence, his current prison sentence of seven years, that he could walk free if they cannot charge him in time. that is why they say the pressure is on to find evidence, that is why presumably the search is on in this reservoir as well. so far, he says he is innocent, but the state prosecutor have a different story, that is why they want to find some evidence and they want to find some evidence and they have got to do it quickly. that is what we're going to find out tomorrow in more detail, exactly what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness — what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness in _ what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness in thank— what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness in thank you. _ what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness in thank you. -- - what they have got in mind. damian mcguinness in thank you. -- in - mcguinness in thank you. —— in berlin, thank you. the home secretary says she regrets speeding but insists "nothing untoward" happened after she was issued with a fine. suella braverman was repeatedly questioned in the house of commons earlier about allegations that she asked civil servants to arrange a private speed awareness course, potentially in breach of the ministeral code. the code is a formal standard of conduct that ministers are expected to follow. 0pposition parties have called for an investigation into whether she broke the rules. the prime minister has spoken

to his ethics adviser and to ms braverman herself. 0ur political correspondent david wallace lockhart has the latest from wesminster. any regrets, home secretary? this is a controversy — any regrets, home secretary? this is a controversy that _ any regrets, home secretary? this is a controversy that all _ any regrets, home secretary? this is a controversy that all started - any regrets, home secretary? this is a controversy that all started when i a controversy that all started when swell of —— suella braverman was in the driving seat. she was caught speeding last year, but the political row began when she approached civil servants about a speed awareness course.- approached civil servants about a speed awareness course. thank you for lettin: speed awareness course. thank you for letting me _ speed awareness course. thank you for letting me join _ speed awareness course. thank you for letting me join you _ speed awareness course. thank you for letting me join you today. - speed awareness course. thank you for letting me join you today. any . for letting me 'oin you today. any ministerial — for letting me join you today. any ministerial visit earlier today, she insisted she behaved appropriately. last summer, i was speeding, i regret that, i paid the fine and i took the points. but we are focused now on delivering for the british people and working for them. did you ask civil servants _ people and working for them. did you ask civil servants to _ people and working for them. did you ask civil servants to organise - people and working for them. did you ask civil servants to organise a - people and working for them. did you ask civil servants to organise a one i ask civil servants to organise a one speeding _ ask civil servants to organise a one speeding course? in ask civil servants to organise a one speeding course?— ask civil servants to organise a one speeding course? in relation to the rocess, speeding course? in relation to the process. i'm _ speeding course? in relation to the process, i'm focused _ speeding course? in relation to the process, i'm focused on _ speeding course? in relation to the process, i'm focused on delivering | process, i'm focused on delivering for the british people, doing myjob as secretary. what i will say is that in my view i am confident that nothing untoward has happened. last ear, when nothing untoward has happened. last year, when suella braverman was attorney general, she was caught speeding. she was offered a group

speeding. she was offered a group speed awareness course. she approached the civil service about arranging a private course. they said they could not help. after being appointed home secretary by rishi sunak, she opted to take three points on her licence, instead of attending any course. but what this in keeping with the ministerial code, which says ministers must ensure that no conflict arises or appears to arise between their public duties and their private interests. it is approaching the civil service on this personal matter that has led to accusations of breaching the code. the prime minister is now looking into it. i have been receiving information on theissue have been receiving information on the issue raised, i have met with both the independent adviser and home secretary. i have asked for further information and i will update on the appropriate course of action due course. rishi update on the appropriate course of action due course.— action due course. rishi sunak has been consulting _ action due course. rishi sunak has been consulting with _ action due course. rishi sunak has been consulting with his _ action due course. rishi sunak has been consulting with his ethics - been consulting with his ethics adviser, but for now he has not asked for an investigation. suella braverman is a divisive figure within the conservatives and she has previously had to resign for

been highlighted because it has hosted some of the fiercest fighting in the world. we know that around bakhmut, both sides are using trenches. trenches are a crucial part of how russia has gone about fortifying all of the front line. that process has been mapped by the open source analyst. each one of these black dots marks a new russian fortification. let's focus on a couple of locations. first of all, this is a small but strategically important city. you can see it on the south of this satellite image, with ukrainian positions being further north. look what the russians have done. the ability first defensive line, a second one behind it, then a third one around city itself. we also know in ukrainian media, there are reports that the russians are removing civilians in order to further fortify the city. we can understand all of these fortifications if we look at other satellite images. in this one, we see for this back from the front line artillery positions, then a trench network for the

soldiers, then dragons teeth. these are concrete obstacles designed to stop tanks in their tracks. also targeting tanks are huge ditches dug tiy targeting tanks are huge ditches dug by vehicles such as this. if we go back to the satellite image, the first line of defence is an anti—tank ditch. that is one location we have looked at, here is a second location bbc verify has been studying. it concerns the potential of crimea, which was annexed in 2014 by russia. this satellite image shows a beach on the west coast of crimea. you see dragons teeth running up the shore of the black sea to the north of the beach, a bunker running through it, a trench which bbc verify has measured at around 15 miles. these piles of wood are being used by the russians to reinforce the trenches they are building. i would also highlight this fortification, which we know could be used for a tanks or armoured vehicle should it be facing towards the sea. we should add, though, that we do not know if ukraine has the capacity to attack

crimea from the sea. what we can be certain of is the significance of the number of resources that russia has committed to fortifying its defences. now we wait to see if ukraine attacks. and you can find out more about the bbc verify service, what it's going to do and how it's going to do it on the bbc news website. the time is 6:16. our top story this evening. police investigating the disappearance of madeleine mccann are expected to start searching a reservoir in portugal around 30 miles from where the three—year—old went missing in 2007. and here at the chelsea flower show, we've had a king, a queen, a princess and a wedding as the 110th flower show gets under way. and on bbc london: what's the future of children's cancer care in the capital? patients and their families are being asked to shape hospital services. and despite concerns over its reliability, the elizabeth line is now fully up and running.

extreme weather has caused trillions of dollars of economic damage in the last half century, according to a report by the world meteorological 0rganisation. but better early warning systems and disaster management mean the number of people dying because of extreme climate conditions has fallen dramatically. 0ur climate editorjustin rowlatt has been looking at the detail. justin. floods, storms and wildfires have taken a terrible toll over the last 50 years, the un“s weather and climate body, the world meteorological 0rganisaton, says. look at this. there have been almost 12,000 climate and weather—related disasters between 1970 and 2021. they've killed more than two million people over that period and have inflicted economic damage costing a total of £3.5 trilion — that's $4.3 trillion —

of £3.5 trillion — that's $4.3 trillion — a huge amount of money! but dig a bit deeper into the figures and you find something really interesting is happening. here's the economic costs of these disasters. you can see it's been rising steeply since 1970. that's what you'd expect. the wmo says we're seeing five times as many now as we did 50 years ago. at the same time, the economy has grown so there is more value for those events to hit. but now look at the toll of human casualties. it has been falling almost as steeply as the economic costs have been rising. the reason for that, says the wmo, is that the world has got far better at warning people when these events are coming and managing the effects when they hit. take cyclone mocha, the ferocious storm that hit parts of the coast of bangladesh and myanmar last week. 800,000 people needed emergency food

aid and other help, but only a few hundred are reckoned to have died — at the last count, 145 in myanmar. in the past, a storm like this would have killed tens, possibly even hundreds of thousands of people. that's why the un is pushing for early warning systems for storms to be improved all around the world. it wants everyone to be covered by one by 2027. fiona. the labour leader, sir keir starmer, says he'll introduce new nhs targets in england, including cutting deaths from heart disease, strokes and suicide — if his party wins the next general election. in a speech in essex, he said the nhs is not sustainable without "serious, deep, long—term changes". 0ur political correspondent helen catt reports. at an ambulance station in braintree, with the crews watching on, the labour leader chose to sound an alarm. at the next election, the nhs is on the line. it's not exactly the first time that labour has suggested the nhs

would be at stake in an election. but earlier this year, the waiting list for hospital treatment in england hit a record high. sir keir pledged to meet targets that have been missed for years. a&e, back to the four—hour target. no backsliding, no excuses. we will meet these standards again, we will get the nhs back on its feet. there were new targets too, for treating the biggest killers. heart attacks and strokes. we will get them down by a quarter within a decade. two — cancer. we will make sure 75% of all cancer is diagnosed at stage one or two. as for the how, labour are suggesting a shift towards technology. in the huddersfield royal infirmary, for example, artificial intelligence is being used to check x—rays for signs of lung cancer. there is a real variance in regions around lung cancer diagnosis. so you could be in huddersfield or you could be in harrow, you're going to get the same speed

in terms of diagnosis, but also the same accuracy, and i think that's a really fantastic outcome. labour also wants to shift care out of hospitals and into the community and put a greaterfocus on keeping people healthy. well, we don't need a fancy speech from keir starmer to find out what labour would do with our national health service — they already run the national health service in wales, where they have an appalling record. when it comes to paying for the plans, labour hasn't yet put a figure on it. would you expect under labour that overall, more money would be going into the nhs? money is important, but it's not all about money. change and reform plays a hugely important part. technology can do what money can't do. but money has been an issue when it comes to staff pay and there wasn't enough to address keir starmer“s targets are meant to get people talking. hisjob over

the next year or so will be to convince voters labour can deliver them. helen catt, bbc news, braintree. now a brief look at some other stories making the news today. the company which owns facebook, meta, has been fined £1 billion for mishandling people's data. it's the largest fine ever handed down under the european union's general data protection regulation privacy law. meta, which has a base in dublin, says it will appeal. victims of child sexual abuse will be supported the former boss of mirror group has said she deeply regrets unlawful behaviour at the newspapers, during a high court phone hacking case brought by prince harry against the publisher. sly bailey, who was chief executive of trinity mirror between 2003 and 2011, said she'd had "no knowledge" of the activities. junior doctors in scotland have been offered a 14.5% pay rise over two years by the scottish government, in an attempt to stop planned strike action. earlier this month, junior doctors voted for a 72—hour walk—out, their first national strike over pay. one of britain's most successful cyclists, mark cavendish, has announced plans to retire at the end of the season. the 38—year—old equalled the record
