checking out the truth behind them. let's start in greece where new fires have been reported in rhodes. more than 80 wildfires are now burning in greece, with tens of thousands of residents and tourists forced to flee. the greek government says it's launched the biggest rescue of its kind in response to the emergency. this footage was filmed in island of corfu on sunday evening. over 2000 people have been evacuated from the island. this video was filmed in a corfu hotel, as guests were dining. the government says it has sent boats to evacuate residents by sea, if required. the greek emergency services are deadling with several fires — including two in areas east and south west of the capital, athens. the eastern island of rhodes which has been badly hit, one fire brigade officials there says that around one in ten of the hotels in the central and southern parts of that island

have been affected. ministers in the uk say they are reviewing the situation in rhodes. and our reporter azadeh moshiri joins us now from rhodes. we will come to what is happening at the airport in a moment but tell me a little more about the scale of the fires on that island?— fires on that island? well, i spoke to the fire — fires on that island? well, i spoke to the fire service _ fires on that island? well, i spoke to the fire service earlier- fires on that island? well, i spoke to the fire service earlier and - fires on that island? well, i spoke to the fire service earlier and he i to the fire service earlier and he let me know that i won one to number had been dialled and that now there have been to more villagers evacuated in rhodes. he said it is not thousands, they are talking about hundreds more people evacuated. these are small villages. but it does show you the scale of the problem. that these fires are not over and they are spreading. and of course, when the fires in corfu are under control, the mainland is

reigniting as well. that is something the fire service had been concerned about, because these fires, given the temperature, given the strong winds and the humidity, are very hard to control. we were on the mainland throughout the week and we saw the fires move from south athens to north athens to the west. now the islands are facing this as well. ., . . now the islands are facing this as well. ., ., ., ., h, well. you are there at the airport, cive us a well. you are there at the airport, give us a sense — well. you are there at the airport, give us a sense of— well. you are there at the airport, give us a sense of numbers, - well. you are there at the airport, i give us a sense of numbers, stories, of the organisation for these various evacuations that are place? matthew, there is so much anger at the airport. as soon as we arrived and we started speaking to people, they started telling us of stories over the trauma that they had been through because of the fires. how one family escaped their hotel and was sent to the beach to join thousands of people fighting to get on evacuation boats only to end up at another hotel to sleep on sunbeds. they get to the airport and

feel that there is nobody there to support them. that is a story i have had from other people as well and that anger is really directed at the airlines. they feel that the airlines. they feel that the airlines didn't have enough staff from the beginning of the day but as repatriation flights have been arriving, they haven't been given the support they need. of course, there is the foreign office's rapid deployment team here to help connect airlines and passengers together to make this process a little easier. but when you've been through trauma like a bat, you are going to feel like a bat, you are going to feel like you need a little bit more. that is how people generally fail. we will talk throughout the course of today's programme over the next couple of hours. thanks for the latest. live now to lisa bousfield — a tourist in rhodes from the uk who's been forced to evacuate her hotel. lisa, thank you so much for being live with us on the programme. why don't you start by describing what the last 2a to 36 hours have been like for you and your family? ihell.

let's turn to an important story of the day because george alagiah, one of the bbc�*s most respected and much loved presenters has died. he was 67 — and had been living with bowel cancer since 2014. george won many awards in a hugely successful career which took him from southern africa to many other parts of the world. the bbc today spoke of his �*special connection�* with audiences. many who worked with him here — will remember him most — as an unfailingly kind—hearted and generous colleague. alan little — looks back at his life. three, two, one... go. the grand war on iraq has begun. millions knew him as the face of the 6:00 news. good evening and welcome to the 6:00 news. and for his calm, unflappable authority. good evening and welcome to the bbc�*s news at six. he was born in sri lanka in 1955 to christian tamil parents. as a child, the family moved to ghana. this is the road. and he was swept up in the early optimism of a young

nation newly independent of british colonial rule. we knew that africa was going to be united and that ghana and this country was going to be the centre of it. and i think that was a kind of dream. at 11, he was a migrant again, this time to england, where his parents enrolled him in a portsmouth boarding school. here, though, there was some racism, he learned to adapt to a new culture and to thrive. at durham university, he met his wife. i think when we got married, we were aware of a sort of meeting of cultures. you can see that in the wedding photos. we've got two sons, adam and matthew. in a turbulent and often dangerous working life. she and their two boys were the still and unwavering centre of his existence, his solid ground. and welcome to the rainbow nation... forjust over a year now, south africa has been my base

as the bbc�*s africa correspondent. i knew george as a foreign correspondent. we worked together in africa, the continent whose fate ran through his life like a thread through cloth. so this is your house? oh, it's nice. it's nice. i thought of him as a kind of mentor. i was inspired by his example. he was brave, calm and kind. ok, you get the water from here and do that. i admired his gift for reaching into the hearts of those caught up in war or natural disaster, winning their trust even at the worst moments of their lives. in a refugee camp in eastern zaire, hundreds were dying every day of preventable illness. i asked her what she wanted from life. "ajob", she said, so i can look after little petty. in somalia, he met a woman whose ten—year—old daughter had just died. his own children were about the same age. it seemed wrong to be there at what should have been a moment of private grief.

she said it was all right if it might help to save her other daughter. i haven't the heart to count and it doesn't really matter. there were moments when he crossed the line between merely witnessing and actively intervening in the pain of others. we took those we could manage to the french military hospital. at times like this, it's impossible not to cross the line that divides us, the observers and those we observe. the rwandese translator we worked with then, told us his tutsi wife had been murdered by hutu extremists, but he was later accused of complicity in her murder and jailed. george wanted to know the truth, however painful, and went to find him in prison. the nature of their reunion, the power of it says something profound about the george we knew and his extraordinary talent. well, looking better than i thought. yes. hey, seth, can we go and talk somewhere? it's wonderful. he even charmed men at the heart of sierra leone's normally secretive diamond trading business.

well, look, this is the big this is the biggest you've seen all day. the world of the so called blood diamond is nothing to write home about. no, this is about 2000, $2,500. so you're in the clear. in ghana, he went back to his old school. somewhere in here is me. yes. well done. he would later say that he was destined to spend his adult life in africa, dispelling the dream he had nurtured so carefully as a child. he was injohannesburg in the mandela years, a time of bright promise. mandela, in his 705, was about to remarry. and now, sir, the future... you're a man in love? it is a wonderful moment for me as anybody else to be in love. when he returned to the uk, he brought to the studio a wealth of wisdom and experience gathered over years on the road. though in the seconds

before his first 6:00 news, there was some trepidation. at 6:00, these are tonight's top stories. he was diagnosed with cancer in 2014 after a grueling round of treatment and multiple operations. he couldn't wait to be back in the tumult of the newsroom. he was deeply moved by messages of support and affection sent in by countless viewers he'd never meet. and on his first day back, made this small concession. and i just want to say, it's good to be back with you. that's all. off screen, george was funny, clever, a generous and confiding friend and full of energetic hope. there was something infectious about his optimism. you always walked away from time with george feeling better about the human race and the world in general. and that's the bbc�*s news at six. the migrant boy whose family left sri lanka with nothing found his home in a changing britain. and he took this country to his heart. it's goodbye. the news continues, though, here on bbc one.

i watched george for years up close and thought this of him, that people wanted to tell him their story because in his journalism they saw the outstretched hand of a shared humanity and of solidarity. that report was by allan little, someone who knew george for more than 30 years. we've also been talking to our former african bureau chief who was a close friend of george's and we will hear from him in a little moment. let's hear a little more of alan little's tribute. , , , , , tribute. he seemed blissfully unaware of — tribute. he seemed blissfully unaware of the _ tribute. he seemed blissfully unaware of the esteem - tribute. he seemed blissfully unaware of the esteem and l tribute. he seemed blissfully - unaware of the esteem and affection in which he was held. there was no ego about him at all and his great strength was empathy. i think what he said there about the experience of having cancer for so he said there about the experience of having cancerfor so many he said there about the experience of having cancer for so many years and are being determined to see something positive in it, i think he knew how loved he was. because those of us who loved him took the

opportunity to tell him so i do not wait until the last minute. so he had that ability to bestow affection and bestow warmth and he was surrounded by love.— and bestow warmth and he was surrounded by love. when you travel to . ether in surrounded by love. when you travel together in places _ surrounded by love. when you travel together in places that _ surrounded by love. when you travel together in places that are _ surrounded by love. when you travel together in places that are going - together in places that are going through— together in places that are going through turmoil, it bonds you, you become _ through turmoil, it bonds you, you become closer. and we became more than colleagues, we became friends. and in_ than colleagues, we became friends. and in fact, — than colleagues, we became friends. and in fact, i— than colleagues, we became friends. and in fact, i was very proud when george _ and in fact, i was very proud when george graciously agreed to be the godfather to my son who was born in 2001 _ godfather to my son who was born in 2001 and _ godfather to my son who was born in 2001. and that brought to the families— 2001. and that brought to the families together. george was at my wedding _ families together. george was at my wedding a _ families together. george was at my wedding a 1998, we have a picture of him here _ wedding a 1998, we have a picture of him here at— wedding a 1998, we have a picture of him here at home on the display when he was _ him here at home on the display when he was standing at my parents—in—law's house. he was standing at my parents-in-law's house. he was standing at my arents-in-law's house. ., , ., parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we — parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we we _ parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we we used _ parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we we used to _ parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we we used to use - parents-in-law's house. there was a word that we we used to use when . parents-in-law's house. there was a l word that we we used to use when we were living in south africa and it is from the languages of southern

to say to the world, i suppose. to say to all of the people that loved and admired him.— say to all of the people that loved and admired him. some wonderful tributes there _ and admired him. some wonderful tributes there to _ and admired him. some wonderful tributes there to george _ and admired him. some wonderful tributes there to george alagiah. i tributes there to george alagiah. more tributes throughout the course of a rarefied live over the next two or three hours. around the world and across the uk, you are watching bbc news. the housing secretary, mouth great mcmichael graf has announced his intention to relax the housing system. this will allow more homes extensions and conversions of shops and houses. the government has insisted that it will meet its manifesto commitment to build a million new homes by 202a. the radical islamist preacher and ram choudhury has appeared in court charged with directing and being a member of the banned group which the prosecution said is known as the islamic thinker society. choudhury has also been charged with

last few minutes from tui. we must align a little earlier with a tourist who has been in roads and has been evacuated from her hotel. we managed to re—establish the line, so lisa, thanks for being with us once again. just describe her as what you have been through in the last day or so. it what you have been through in the last day or so— last day or so. it was like something _ last day or so. it was like something out _ last day or so. it was like something out of- last day or so. it was like something out of a - last day or so. it was like l something out of a movie, last day or so. it was like _ something out of a movie, honestly, like i say, it started out with the ash coming over in the evening and every body was calm and nobody really mentioned it. it was a bit like a white elephant in the room. and then when we went for breakfast on saturday morning, because our hotel is kind of set on levels, we had to go down to breakfast so when we left our bungalow which was on the top level, we could see a big cloud of smoke coming in the distance. but we couldn't quite see where the origin of it was from so we just went down and had our breakfast and every now and again the electricity would drop in and out for about 30 seconds. so you

would kind of look around at all of the ovate hotel uses to see if everybody is ok. thinking about it now, it was almost like a titanic kind of moment where the staff are ok so you think, we are ok. but then after we came out of breakfast and we went back up to get our things from our room, you could all of the smoke coming over and the sun of others had turned into this little orange dot. there was a big massive cloud above is of the smoke, so we decided to go up another level and to the tennis court and see where the smoke was coming from. you could see all of the land at the back of us and probably about two miles away from as you could see on the horizon where all of the planes were. so we were like, oh my god, this is real now. anyway, when we went back down, one of the staff had said to us, you might need to think about evacuating. they are just talking to

the police about it and we are going to get told what to do. so me and my daughter went back to our room and i just decided that i was going to change what i would in and put my trainers and make us i had seen these plans and i thought we were going to have to go and if we were had to i would want to not be wearing my flip flops. so we put some sensible clothes on and ended out of the safe deposit box. i got my passport and my money, put some sun cream on and some club so that we wouldn't burn. then we just took as we could carry, took a towel in case we needed it and then the doors were getting knocked on and we got shipped down to the beach. so everybody was very calm still and we were all just everybody was very calm still and we were alljust going down to the beach with all of the staff being really calm saying, go to the beach, it is safe on the beach. so we went down onto the beach and then when we had been there for about ten minutes, some of the kids were playing in the water and stuff because we were just on the beach. it was one big line of cloudyjust coming in the sky and then the wind

picked up and change direction and all of the smoke started to come onto the beach. then the staff came down and they started giving us towels and water so that we could pour the water in the towels and put it over our faces so that we could breathe. that is when i looked at my daughter and i thought, this is real and we need to go. we can stay on the beach. so wejust and we need to go. we can stay on the beach. so we just headed and we need to go. we can stay on the beach. so wejust headed back up the beach. so wejust headed back up the road where the rest of the beach went on i could see the blue sky and i thought we need to go to where the blue skies. everybody was going with suitcases and the children. they were all trying to get up the small road where all of the cars were trying to get out of as well. we managed to get to the top and they close the road off but that is when all of the locals had started to come and help taking people in their cars. there were twojcbs that came in and they took families. they were getting the families and their luggage into thejcbs and were taking them out. people were so helpful. we walked quite far, we must have worked for 20 minutes or so and we came to a supermarket that

was closed. the people must have been inside it and they brought pallets of water to the foreigners and they had watermelons, they were chopping it up and giving it to us. the lady there seem to know about a meeting that we need to go to which was a bit further down the road. it was a bit further down the road. it was about two kilometres away. so we walked to the meeting point where there was a guy in a flat back truck and ijust bought, we are still not far enough away, so i said to him, can we please get a lift. he took all of us had to have a and then he drove us for probably 20 minutes of the road also. he dropped us off at another place, i don't even know where we were, but luckily, when we got there, there were people from our hotel. so the reps were there and they were asking for people from our two hotels. i was in the village well and across the road there was the married man and they've grouped us together and they were saying that they would approach coaches on board to take us to safety but we didn't know where we were going. that is when people were starting to get worried and when the coaches

came there was a lot more pushing and shoving to try and get on. but in hindsight now, if they had broad enough coaches for us —— they brought enough coaches for us. and they took us to other hotels which is fantastic. we were sleeping on sun loungers outside or on the floor in the lobby. i sun loungers outside or on the floor in the lobby-— in the lobby. i have to interrupt ou in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there. _ in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there. but _ in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there, but it _ in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there, but it has _ in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there, but it has been - in the lobby. i have to interrupt you there, but it has been by i in the lobby. i have to interrupt l you there, but it has been by the sounds of eight an extraordinary and traumatic 2a hours. thank you so much forjust being with us and for describing what you have actually been a fool. good luck now in the coming days. thank you so much. you might much. coming days. thank you so much. you might much-— coming days. thank you so much. you might much._ now, - coming days. thank you so much. you might much._ now, let's i might much. thank you. now, let's turn to that — might much. thank you. now, let's turn to that breaking _ might much. thank you. now, let's turn to that breaking news - might much. thank you. now, let's turn to that breaking news from - turn to that breaking news from israel, because the parliament that has voted for one of the traditional rip arms in a highly controversial bill that has caused months of mass protests. the reform will remove the supreme court's power to overrule government actions that it considers unreasonable. opposition parties

boycotted the vote and the proposals have triggered some of the largest protests in israel's history. police have been using water cannons and battling protesters on the street enterjerusalem. one of the leaders of the protest movement and other demonstrators have been arrested near the knesset building. let's get the latest from tom bateman who is there injerusalem. just give us a sense of what it is like where you are after news filtered down from what has happened in the knesset building? yes, we are very close to the knesset here and when the advert came through early than expected, the response from these protesters was to fan out and spread out to as manyjunctions as possible. now, we are having some reports from the

highways injerusalem being blocked. we have seen some pretty violent scenes throughout the course of today as roads have been blocked, protesters have chained themselves across the street and the security forces have been forcibly removing them. so a little earlier today for example, restart security forces in vans trying to drive towards the protesters as the police were dragging them from the streets. things were getting very tense. we have seen quite a lot of arrests. several people have been injured. at the message from these protesters over these reforms is that there are going to continue their opposition and are now potentially appeal to israel's high court. and therefore, laying the groundwork for a constitutional crisis in this country. constitutional crisis in this count . ., constitutional crisis in this count. ., ., constitutional crisis in this count. ., g country. tom bateman in jerusalem. let's brina country. tom bateman in jerusalem. let's bring in — country. tom bateman in jerusalem. let's bring in the _ country. tom bateman in jerusalem. let's bring in the journalist _ country. tom bateman in jerusalem. let's bring in the journalist and - let's bring in the journalist and political analyst. thank you for being here on the programme. your immediate reaction in terms of what has happened today?—

particular, government appointments. so particular, governmentappointments. so effectively, the supreme court review is the legislator, it is really the only check on executive and legislative power under the israeli system. there is no constitution, there is no higher body in parliament. so it is a really important tool to review those decisions and especially in terms of hiring and firing senior civil servants like, for instance, the attorney general. this runs through the supreme court that has the power to review so if you take away that tool, presumably, the government can fire the attorney general and that will open up a full host of other possibilities in terms of policy decisions that they can make. and this is only one part of a much lag a package that was proposed by the government. i much lag a package that was proposed by the government.— by the government. i have to interrupt _ by the government. i have to interrupt you _ by the government. i have to interrupt you there. - by the government. i have to interrupt you there. we - by the government. i have to interrupt you there. we are l by the government. i have to l interrupt you there. we are out by the government. i have to - interrupt you there. we are out of time. apologies for that i am back with more here injust a moment. hello, the mixed bag continues after

what was a very mixed weekend and indeed for some others an absolute wash—out on saturday. the weather wash—out on saturday. the weather was more typical of autumn and indeed little change is expected for the rest of this week. and quite possibly into august as well. i want to show you the weather system is developing across the north atlantic and heading in our direction. on this wide picture here, this wide map, let's have a look at this animation once again. so you can see the cloud, the outbreaks of rain, and it is undulating jet stream. and where we see these troughs in the jet stream, that is where the low pressure centre form. crucially, of the next few days, the jet stream will be generally to the south of us. in autumn —like pattern, hence that colder air streaming in from the north and keeping things very fresh for us. so today, a lot of cloud across the uk, for cloud in the second half of the day across most of an areas and this is where the showers will be more frequent. certainly not raining all of the time today and there will be some decent sunny spells. but it is on the cool side with thatjet stream

to the south of us generally. temperatures will be around 16 to 18 degrees. tonight, again, it is the same pattern and there will be clear spells here and there that show is once again becoming more frequent in scotland and there will be a few showers elsewhere. it'll be around nine to 11 celsius in the city centres but in rural spot it will be a little bit colder. tomorrow starts a little bit colder. tomorrow starts a quite bright and even sunny in some areas, but this is relatively what we call an that means the clouds tend to grow quite quickly and produce sharp showers. some of the showers will be quite heavy there across northern part of england and southern scotland. but in this sort of situation, the best of the weather tends to be out toward the south—west, particular coastal areas. toward the south—west, particular coastalareas. i toward the south—west, particular coastal areas. i showed you that animation early run with the jet stream and the developing weather systems, he was a different look at it. there is an area of low pressure approaching is very early on wednesday so early in the day i think there will be some decent weather particularly in northern and eastern parents? part of the

country. but quickly this next level frontal sweeping and bring outbreaks of rain. at times, the rain could be heavy and it has already been a very wet month for example in parts of north—western england. if you look at the outlook through the week and into the weekend, it is unsettled.
