hello, i hello, lam lucy hello, i am lucy gray. 288 people are now known to have died in india's deadliest train crash in more than ten decades. prime minister narendra modi visited the site in the eastern state of odisha earlier as conflicting accounts emerge about its causes, our correspondent arksana shukla reports from the scene. daylight revealed the scale of the disaster. this wreckage, now intertwined, belongs to three trains. on friday evening the coromandel express ferrying more than 1,000
7:01 pm
passengers crashed into a freight train standing on the same track. its coaches overturned, hitting another sleeper coming in from the opposite side, leaving a pile—up not seen in decades. through the night rescue teams had worked pulling out people. when i came out of the train is a lot of people had reached the site. you'll make those who were seriously injured were brought out so i had to wait. ambulances have been rushing passengers for critical medical care. ambulances have been very critically injured passengers to this trauma centre here at this hospital. this is the biggest
7:02 pm
hospital. this is the biggest hospital in the state but it is still a three—hour drive from where the accident happened. we understand that since last night, hundreds of critically injured passengers have been brought in here and given medical care, but the scenes outside is one of despair and distress and of chaos. many people outside are still looking for their family members who were passengers, not knowing if they have been brought to this hospital or some other hospital. india's prime minister visited the accident site. his government is promising an inquiry into what went wrong. as the rescue work ramps up, big priority is restarting train services by clearing the tracks. the wreckage and lost hopes leaving many tough questions to answer. and archana shukla is at the scene of the crash and told me more about those conflicting reports.
7:03 pm
sorry, that was the package sent from china earlier try to get you more from the scene of the crash. manchester city are fa cup champions. they beat rivals manchester united 2—1 at wembley stadium in london. it's the first time the two manchester clubs have met
7:04 pm
in the final of the competition. the win keeps city on track for the treble — that's winning the premier league, fa cup and next up the champion's league final. that comes in a week's time in istanbul. i was joined earlier by nesta mcgreagor who was stationed by nesta mcgregor who was stationed just outside wembley stadium. manchester city fans to my right walking down wembley way are in joyous mood. straight after the game manchester united fans left the stadium. the city fans staying inside to watch their team lift the trophy. the first ever major final between the two manchester teams was always going to be memorable, and this one tookjust 12 seconds to come alive. ilkay gundogan scored almost straight from kick—off. the fastest ever goal in an fa cup final. manchester united did get back into the game. the video assistant referee ruled that jack grealish had handled the ball inside his own box. bruno fernandes, the manchester united captain, scored from the penalty
7:05 pm
shot. they went into the break level and then gundogan again, a left footed bouncing shot from the edge of the box. manchester united did push and agonisingly hit the crossbar two minutes into injury time. manchester city, with their second trophy of the season. all eyes are turning to istanbul and whether they can do the treble. can they? manchester united were the last and only english team to do that in 1999. they failed to derail manchester city's quest to do the same. all attention turns to istanbul. can inter milan deter them? speaking after the match, manchester city manager pep guardiola says that the players will have two days off to celebrate and start their recovery, then it is three days of training ahead of that trip to istanbul. pep guardiola is a serial winner. he has managed teams in england, spain and germany, winning trophies
7:06 pm
everywhere he has been. winning the treble will put him amongst the likes of only sir alex ferguson. we also spoke to some fans. kayleigh bishop was cheering for united at home in manchester and city fan michael yevu joined us from ghana. i started by asking kayleigh how she felt about the result. gutted, but not surprised. i was on the bbc radio yesterday and said that we are not going to do it, i don't feel like we are ready. we are rebuilding, we are only a season in with the manager, and city are just unplayable. i am sad, but not surprised. that is very gracious of you. michael, your team was looking superb, really outstanding. how are you feeling? it'sjust a great moment for us as a team.
7:07 pm
i think in the treble this match was the tricky one. we have got this out of the way now we are looking forward to the champions league. it was nice to see how important it was to the players, wasn't it, and even pep guardiola wiping away a tear. you can really see how much as a team they all wanted this, couldn't you ? yes, you can see there was a lot of pressure on this match, sol think the players are now ready to win the first champions league. it has been a long five seasons of getting knocked out, but i think this is the time now. it was really tense wasn't it, kayleigh, but you could really feel the tension. i guess it is because of the rivalry. it really does mean a lot to both sides, doesn't it? the rivalry is always going to be there, especially inafinal. it is the first manchester final.
7:08 pm
you are always nervous anyway but with a final there is a bit more on it. it is not nice to watch, it is not nice to go through, especially when we are hitting the bar and they score after i think it was 12 seconds. we didn't want it to be a whitewash, that was all we could hope for. i thought you would make it 2—2 a couple of times, and in the 70th minute and nearly got one in, and right near the end. it did feel like you are nearly there. nearly doesn't count though! i see all the fans left the stadium so quickly while everyone else was celebrating and that you have done it before, manchester united has done the treble. of course, and this is the thing. with the treble there is a lot of focus on united stopping city doing the treble. as a football fan it would be nice to see another english team do it, but as a united team, no, i don't want to do it.
7:09 pm
what about you, michael? perhaps a word about your captain then, ilkay gundogan. his first goal was amazing. we talked a lot about different players and erling haaland has been one we talked so much about, but it was really your captain who stood out today. he has been amazing these last few weeks, playing his last few games. we hope he renews his contract. people don't expect goals from him, he isjust a shadow in the team now. then he steps up and get the goals for us in on important moment so we are really grateful to gundogan. what are your thoughts about inter milan because that is who you are playing in istanbul? it is going to be a back to basics game. everybody will be on their toes.
7:10 pm
we are very confident for that inter milan game. thank you to michael and kelly for talking to me. police working on the epsom derby, near london, say they've arrested a total of 31 protesters. that includes 19 people who were arrested pre—emptively in connection with plans to disrupt the horse race. and one man managed to run onto the track just as the race began. animal rights campaigners had been threatening to defy a court order, banning disruptive protests. 0ur correspondent charlotte gallagher was at the racecourse at epsom. those large—scale protests organisers here had feared did not happen and it was pretty uneventful, apart from the racing. there was one person who made it onto the track and animal rising say it is one of their supporters, they got onto the track when the race was running so the horses were coming down the track, this person got onto the track but stewards bundled
7:11 pm
them off before the horses could get there because obviously that would have been a complete catastrophe. the security has been really tight. i have never seen police lining the track for a horse race but police were dotted all around the course for the derby and there has been stewards everywhere and even men arriving in top hats have had to take them off, so people could check they were not hiding anything, but i'm sure organisers will be pleased it went off essentially without a hitch, a minor hitch with one person on the track. the race itself, the epsom derby, it is to flat racing what the grand national is to jump racing, a huge event. it was won by auguste rodin. trainer aidan 0'brien with his ninth win in the epsom derby, and the jockey ryan moore with his third win at the epsom derby. big celebrations for those two. not much of a rest for ryan moore because he was actually racing in the following race.
7:12 pm
it was the last epsom derby for frankie dettori but sadly he did not make it but he looked pretty happy at the end after what has been an absolutely amazing career. and still more racing this afternoon. the police and stewards seem to be staying in case there are any more protests. live now to chris phillips, former head of the uk national counter terrorism security office. hello to you. you have policed epsom many times, haven't you? how hard is it to police the event, something so because that? you it to police the event, something so because that?— it to police the event, something so because that? ., ., ., , ., because that? you have to understand that e som because that? you have to understand that epsom is — because that? you have to understand that epsom is actually _ because that? you have to understand that epsom is actually a _ because that? you have to understand that epsom is actually a public- that epsom is actually a public space, so the areas around it are all a normal part of society and you can drive down the road, etc. whenever you have anything like this, individuals or groups of people who, who want to jump onto
7:13 pm
the race course, it is very difficult for people to live police to prevent. this is something that the police shouldn't have to be doing. this is something that we shouldn't be expecting people to do, simply because they don't agree with horse racing that they put, not only the horses and jockeys in danger, but also the stewards and the police. but also the stewards and the olice. , ~ ., ., , but also the stewards and the olice. , ~ ., .,, _, police. they did know it was coming, the pre-emptive _ police. they did know it was coming, the pre-emptive arrests, _ police. they did know it was coming, the pre-emptive arrests, and - police. they did know it was coming, the pre-emptive arrests, and they i the pre—emptive arrests, and they said they knew there were plans to disrupt it. we were just looking at images in charlotte's piece there of police really lining the length of the course. and yet somebody still managed to get on the track. it is really difficult. _ managed to get on the track. it 3 really difficult. this is a huge site, it is about one mile and a half round and it has two sides as well, so people can get on, it is almost impossible to stop that. what you have to do is, once thereon, bring them off very quickly. but i would say is, surrey police don't have an awful lot of police
7:14 pm
officers, so all those streets around guildford, reigate, epsom town centre, etc, would have gone short of police officers, because these idiots wanted to put themselves and the horses and people in danger. it is a crazy situation. the campaign group animal cabbage nap rising, have accuse the police of heavy—handed tactics. we had criticism of the met police during the coronation and what people call these pre—emptive arrests. you have any concerns about what is going on around protesting at the moment? there are plenty of opportunities to protest. there are protests happening across london on a daly basis. i have policed many protests without too many problems. of processed is not acceptable, to put yourself and others in harm's way. the horses that are running round that track are the most pampered and
7:15 pm
well looked after horses you could ever imagine. the ridiculousness of people trying to jump onto the course in front of them is just crazy. the police have enough to do without this. you crazy. the police have enough to do without this-— without this. you have also been talkin: to without this. you have also been talking to individual _ without this. you have also been i talking to individual organisations. i suppose a lot of big companies are having to deal with people gluing themselves to their doors. what advice do you give to large companies who are expecting this at their premises?— their premises? first, be aware of what could — their premises? first, be aware of what could go _ their premises? first, be aware of what could go wrong _ their premises? first, be aware of what could go wrong and - their premises? first, be aware of what could go wrong and the - their premises? first, be aware of. what could go wrong and the threats that they face. you are quite right, if you look at the banks, they have had people breaking their windows. there are so many single issue groups out there, they can protest about pretty much everything and get about pretty much everything and get a bee in their bonnet. the companies themselves are realising they have got a problem and they are taking protective security measures that they can put in place, not only for their building, but for their
7:16 pm
people, we have seen protesters attacking individuals that work for companies, simply because they work for that company, rather than anything else. it's really important that people know the threats they face, take the appropriate measures, which they will get informed about. the police are very good at this, to give information about how they should protect themselves, and to do that. but we have got this problem in the uk at the moment. everyone wants to get on the telly because they think they are far more important than everyone else because it is incredibly dangerous in this case for horses, police officers, police shouldn't be having to deal with protesters.— with protesters. thank you very much, with protesters. thank you very much. chris _ with protesters. thank you very much, chris phillips. _ the in the uk a woman in her 70s has died after being attacked by a dog. a 52—year—old man and a 49—year—old
7:17 pm
woman were arrested on suspicion of owning and breed of dog and having a dog out of control. the arrested woman was taken to hospital with an injury caused by the animal. the man was released on bail. warwickshire police say the dog has been seized. let's go back to the train crash in india. there have been varying accounts about which train derailed first. the exact sequence has been under investigation. we know the accident involved three trains, the coromandel express was seen heading south to chennai. there was a stationary good train which you can see in grey and there are various accou nts a ccou nts of accounts of which derailed first. it somehow ended up on a loop line and hit the goods train.
7:18 pm
the derailed carriages — which you can see in red here — then collided with the howrah superfast express which was travelling along a different line. some of the superfast express carriages, which you can see in blue, are also then derailed. the government has said in total 17 coaches from the two passenger trains were derailed and severely damaged. 0ur bbc correspondent, archana shukla from the scene. at the crash site, what you can see behind is the rescue and the maintenance work of the tracks going on for over 26 hours since the accident happened. this is one of the trains that derailed and toppled onto the other side. there are conflicting versions. the government has one version and railway officials are giving another. the workers on the track are giving us a third version. investigations, official investigations are still ongoing to figure out what really because the initial derailment and how it hit the other trains.
7:19 pm
beyond all the questions about how it happened, there were 3000 passengers travelling in the two passenger trains that eventually were involved in the crash. they were affected, more than 1175 people were injured and over 288 casualties. the numbers are still going up as we talk. some have been taken to the hospital is to the hospitals in the region, some have been ferried to the region three hours from here, which is the biggest hospital in the region and critically injured passengers have been taken there. many family members of passengers here and at the hospital were even trying to look for their relatives and they don't know their whereabouts. there will be a lot of questions raised on the government and the central railway ministry and how a major accident like this happened, because this is the deadliest india has seen in many decades. india has the largest railway tracks in the world
7:20 pm
and accidents have been happening. but the severity of that has been reducing over the last many years. but the severity and the scale of this accident certainly puts the question back on the signalling system, the railway safety here in general. such a huge number of people injured. how are the hospitals coping? the state luckily has a good health care system and some of the local hospitals here took care of the initial patients and passengers coming in, providing first aid. but it was the locals who jumped in that the initial round to pull out those that they could from the debris and help them out. there is a hospital which is the biggest
7:21 pm
from this crash site. that is handling all the critically injured patients who are being wooed enough to being given first aid from some of the local hospitals in the area. almost more than 200 ambulances and 100 medical teams have been deployed and the national disaster relief teams have been working for more than 26 hours nonstop, without sleep, trying to pull out those who have been trapped under the debris and the medical teams have been providing medical care for those that are reaching the medical centres. some of them are also stationed here at the start the live site, to deal with the first aid that had to be given to the people but the scale and the kind of casualties that this accident has seen is certainly the deadliest india has seen in many decades. to the world of fashion next. british vogue editor—in—chief edward enninful is stepping down from his role after six years at the top magazine. he is moving into a newly created job aimed at growing the brand globally.
7:22 pm
0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. 51—year—old edward enninful is the first man to hold the top job at british vogue. he was born in ghana and moved to the uk. his fashion career began when he was aged just 16 after being talent—spotted by a model scout in london. now, back in 2017, just before his first magazine was published, he spoke to the bbc and we asked him what his british vogue would be. my vogue is about sort of being inclusive. it's about diversity, sort of showing different women, different body shapes, different races, class, sort of tackling gender. i mean, before i got thejob, i spoke to certain women and they felt that they were not represented by the magazine. so i wanted to create a magazine that was sort of open and friendly. over the past six years, he's certainly lived up to those promises, breaking creative boundaries. for example, last month, he featured five disabled cover stars, something he called one of the proudest
7:23 pm
moments of his career. but there have been other firsts. for example, in october 2022, timothee chalamet became the first male cover star of british vogue in 2020. in 2020 damejudi dench was the oldest cover star aged 85, whilst in 2019, meghan, duchess of sussex, edited a special edition of the magazine. this also made headlines during the covid pandemic, when three front line workers were put on the cover. now away from the magazine, edward has also spoken about his struggles with racism and being a black gay man. in 2020, he said he was even racially profiled at vogue's offices after being told to use the loading bay by a security guard as he entered work. i'm a black man in this world. it's not the first time i've been, you know... pigeonholed in that way. it won't be the last time i'll be profiled. here he is last month at king charles�*s coronation with katy perry.
7:24 pm
he's worked with the king's charity, the prince's trust, in africa and is a global ambassadorfor it. now, moving forward, he's going to be vogue's global creative and cultural adviser. in a memo to staff, he thanked legendary editor in chief anna wintour. he has long been tipped as her possible successor. nicky schiller with that report. let's just bring you some pictures we've had in from romania, where king charles is on his first, albeit, informal overseas visit since the coronation a month ago. we've been used to seeing those clips of him in his robe wearing the crown, but the king could've almost gone unnoticed in transylvania. he's travelling without queen camilla in what's being described as a private visit. he told locals how much he likes the region, which he described as being in his blood.
7:25 pm
the king owns a home there and has described transylvania as "the last unspoilt, untouched area" go to the bbc news website if you want any more on the stories we have been covering. we have been covering. hello there. good evening. for the vast majority of us across the uk, it's been a beautiful day of weather, with plenty of blue sky and sunshine, some of the best of it again across wales. here's denbighshire as recorded by our weather watcher. and it even brightened up for east anglia, too, where it's been cool and cloudy with a northeasterly wind for much of the week. but here's diss in norfolkjust basking in all of that sunshine. and there is a lot more to come as we head through tomorrow and indeed for much of next week. high pressure is set to keep us dry and settled. we're keeping the easterly wind, though, for most of us. so always towards north sea—facing coasts it's going to be feeling cooler. 0vernight tonight some of that wind could blow us in some more areas of cloud, i think, towards eastern coastal areas. further west, then, we'll see clear
7:26 pm
skies but a mist developing into tomorrow morning, but it's not so chilly a start. temperatures in mid to high single figures at this time, so a milder start to sunday morning than it was earlier on this morning. and that cloud will once again just burn back towards the coast. could be some cloud lingering for eastern areas of scotland. it's a sunnier day, i think, for the western and the northern isles on sunday than it was today. just the small chance of a shower or two popping up across northern ireland and the south west of scotland. but even here, temperatures will peak in the late 20s in celsius. the sunshine, higher temperatures, the further west you are. don't forget the sunshine is strong at this time of year. the uv levels will be high and the grass pollen levels are high too, and will remain so into next week. now into monday and not a lot is set to change. high pressure keeps us dry and settled. we do still have that northeasterly wind and it's likely to blow in some cloud. we're starting off with cloudy conditions, but the cloud again burning back towards the coast as the sunshine gets to work. always breezy towards those north sea—facing coasts. always the highest temperatures and the most sunshine, the further west you are on monday. the same is also true on tuesday, when it could be quite a cloudy start for many of us
7:27 pm
across the south of the uk. as the week wears on, the area of high pressure keeping us dry and settled will gradually drift its way further eastwards, introducing more of a south easterly wind into southeastern areas of england in particular. so here, the temperatures could start to climb, and there's a depression out in the atlantic that could give a few showers to the far south west of england, too, and possibly a bit more in the way of high cloud. but here's the outlook for our capital cities. as you can see, for the vast majority of us, the sunshine continues and temperatures will start to rise.
7:28 pm
