in canada eeg that multi-lied in canada that multi-lied hundred bold is that multiplied hundred bold is flattening tens of thousands of people in british columbia. and with only hours to go to the women's world cup, the lionesses get a special message. lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow. we're sorry we can't be there in person. but we're so proud of everything you've achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world. so go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves. good luck, lionesses! hello and welcome. i'm rajini vaidyanathan. we start in ukraine, which says at least seven people have been killed, and more than a hundred injured, in a russian missile attack in the northern city of chernihiv. the blast appears to have struck the regional theatre, in the heart of the city. a six—year—old child is reported to be among the dead. our ukraine correspondent james waterhouse sent this report from chernihiv — you may find some of the details distressing.

the moment of impact captured on film. a typical saturday, suddenly one this woman won't forget. the injuries and deaths reflect the timing and brutality of this strike. chernihiv�*s theatre bore the brunt of this russian missile. its surroundings felt the immense force from the blast. anna's restaurant was just next door. translation: i saw two girls here, there was a lot of blood. _ one had her leg wounded. there was no skin. we put a tourniquet on and we were waiting for an ambulance, but it took a long time. another girl was screaming loudly. it turns out a drone exhibition had been staged here this morning. military volunteers were among the guests. it does suggest a motive. moscow usually says it's targeting military areas. but look, there is an overarching reason behind russian missiles landing in ukrainian cities,

and that is its continued invasion. it tries to harm the areas it can't necessarily occupy. hanging ukrainian and european union flags represent the country's continued alignment with the west. the surrounding devastation is another reminder of how much moscow wants to pull it the other way. james waterhouse, bbc news, chernihiv. the un's humanitarian coordinator for ukraine, denise brown, has commented on the strike, saying "it is heinous to attack the main square of a large city, in the morning, while people are out walking. some going to church to celebrate a religious day for many ukrainians". today is an orthodox holiday in ukraine. this is what president zelensky had to say, while on a visit to sweden. translation: our bright city of chernihiv. - this morning, russia launched missiles at the city, in the very centre of it

where the national drama theatre is located as well as many residential homes. there were many people were in the theatre at the time and many were at home, too. more than 90 people were injured, 12 children among them. they were just taking a walk in the central square with their parents. among the dead is a six—year—old child whose mother is seriously injured and is in intensive care. my condolences to those who lost their loved ones in this russian, obviously terrorist, attack. this e—news has been told that two police teams in pakistan have been assigned... to find the father of a 10—year—old girl found dead in in surrey. sara sharif”s body was found

at herfamily home in woking, in the early hours of tenth august. her father umar sharif, his partner beinash batool and his brother faisal malik all left the uk for pakistan a day before — on the 9th of august. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies has more on the search for sara's father. we have been speaking to the police, and they say they have two teams operating in north punjab in pakistan. crucially, so far they say they have not been able to locate sara's father. we also know that originally they said they were just looking for mr sharif, but a district police officer has said if they are able to locate him, it is highly likely they would also take him into custody. that would only happen, they said, if they were able to get the approval and authorisation from the fia, the federal investigations agency here in pakistan. it is important to say that we have spoken to the fia, and we have not heard any confirmation from them or from the foreign ministry that a request to arrest mr sharif has taken place. crucially, surrey police have been very clear about this. they have said that they want to speak to him, they have not named him as a suspect in this case. so surrey police want to speak

to him, but without an extradition treaty between the uk and pakistan, what options would they have? an extradition would be a way down the line as well. like you say, there is no extradition treaty between pakistan and the uk. given, at this point, that we are just at the stage of the police wanting to speak to these three individuals, the next stage would be, well, can theyjust bring them home to be able to do that? in order to do that, if they don't want to come voluntarily, the stage most likely would be extradition. in order to be able to do that, the uk authorities need to build up enough evidence to prove to the courts in the uk and convince them, and convince the courts here in pakistan that there is a case to answer, which would then be that both sides would have to agree, there would have to be an extradition. speaking to police that are very familiar with the extradition, they have told me that it can take years to sometimes, it can be a very slow process.

so this is a very difficult and international situation. as i say, again, the police at this point i just saying they want to speak to these individuals, they have not named anyone at this point as a suspect in the murder case. caroline davies there. there are calls for the independent inquiry announced by the uk government into the crimes of the nurse lucy letby to be strengthened. the 33—year—old was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more at the countess of chester hospital betweenjune 2015 and june 2016. the mp for the region welcomed the inquiry, but urged the government to ensure it can compel witnesses to give evidence. the hospital trust is facing more questions about why it didn't take action sooner after concerns were raised over the conduct of the nurse. our north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. lucy letby�*s mugshot is on every front page today. she's finally been exposed as

britain's most prolific baby killer. but for years, this was the way she presented herself to the world — as a smiling, caring young nurse. so why did it take so long for the net to close in? just take a seat in. there for me, lucy. that's one of the questions that a newly—announced independent inquiry will address. it will examine the experience of consultants at the countess of chester hospital, who say senior managers ignored their concerns about letby for many months. it was secretive, it was judgmental, there was no credibility given to our opinions. and from january 2017, it was intimidating, bullying, to a certain extent. the consultants believed that lucy letby could have been murdering babies and, yet, they were forced to send her this apology letter,

which says, "we'd like to apologise for any inappropriate comments. we're very sorry for the stress and upset that you've experienced during the past year." whilst lucy letby was working at the hospital, it was promoting itself as being a supportive environment for staff. this video has emerged of the former chief executive in 2014. as the chief exec, i pledge to support a culture where the front line staff are supported in raising concerns. and more importantly, me listening to them when they do. tony chambers has told the bbc that "as chief executive, my focus was on the safety of the baby unit and the well—being of patients and staff. i was open and inclusive, as i responded to information and guidance. the trial and the lengthy police investigation have shown the complex nature of the issues raised." some have welcomed the non—statutory inquiry. the government has said it will aim to provide answers for the babies' relatives.

but some of the families' lawyers have called it "inadequate", as it won't have the power to summon evidence or witnesses. how many times have we heard - the phrase "lessons will be learnt"? you only hear that phrase - when lessons haven't been learnt. after stepping hill hospital, - which is a case we dealt with ten years ago, where a nurse murdered patients, there was an inquiry, - there was a nonjudicial. there were recommendations, some of them haven't been i complied with, ten years on. there have been fresh calls for a law to force criminals to be present for sentencing, after letby said she won't be in court when sentence is passed on monday. i just think that's so wrong. i think it is really important that defendants are accountable and understand their crimes and actually answer for them. by being there and hearing those victim impact statements. eight years after letby first murdered, the grief of the babies' families is still raw and their anger is clear. on monday, they will tell the court about the impact that her actions

has had on their lives. judith moritz, bbc news. the national weather service in the united states has issued its first ever tropical storm warning for california. hurricane hillary is the category for hurricane. winds up to 230 kilometres an hour. it's expected to make landfall soon in a mexican state. flags are flying and police have been closing roads. they are preparing for the hurricane. there are warnings of potentially catastrophic flooding, although forecasts think the storm will lose some wind speeds as it reaches southern california. there is also work to shore up mountains. there
