tackling serious crime. whether it is phone theft, car theft, watch theft, whether it is street—level drug dealing or drug use, the police must now follow every reasonable line of inquiry. a "technical issue" has hit uk air traffic control systems, with airlines warning of delays to flights. the scottish covid—19 inquiry has opened in edinburgh with promises of a "robust investigation". commotion. pictures emerge of the cruise ship which collided with a freight vessel during high winds in mallorca. drums and singing. and a ceremony to mark the return of a totem pole to canada, nearly a century after being sold to a scottish museum.

good afternoon. the home office says police chiefs in england and wales have agreed that their officers will pursue all "reasonable lines of inquiry" in an effort to solve more crimes. the government says it wants to make it clear there is "no such thing as a minor crime" with a clampdown focussing on offences such as phone thefts and shoplifting. but there are concerns the approach could take resources away from dealing with offences such as rate and domestic abuse — and labour called the policy a staggering admission of 13 years of conservative failure. our home editor mark easton reports. smart doorbells, dash cams, mobile phones and the power of google mean that more crime victims believe they have obtained good evidence to identify the culprit. but there has been rising frustration that officers are not going after offenders and lower—level crime

such as shoplifting, vandalism and theft. sirens. now, the home office says it has got agreement from police chiefs that they will pursue all reasonable lines of inquiry if a perpetrator could be apprehended. what that means in practice, that means if there is cctv footage of a burglary, if there is dash—cam footage, if there is gps tracking data of where a phone might be, if a victim of crime has evidence that their vehicle is being resold online, if there is a sight or smell of cannabis in the street, the police will have to follow up on those leads. since 2015, forces have had to say how many of the offences they record result in someone being charged. back then, it was 16%. but now it is just under 6%. political pressure to improve that number is coming from all sides. i think the key is in the use of the word "reasonable". and what is reasonable for one force won't necessarily be

reasonable for another, given the types of crime that they are investigating. and it is absolutely right that the police will always base it on threat, harm and risk. but certainly, in my own force and other forces, i do think there are times when we should be investigating further, and it is absolutely reasonable, and the public and the government are right to expect us to do so. but police chiefs point out there are reasons for the fall in detections. although overall crime is at historically low levels, improved recording of offences means their caseload is rising, and more of the crimes being reported are complex offences to investigate, notably, rape and abuse cases. on the one hand, this does sound like a no—brainer. anybody who has had their car stolen or their phone stolen wants the police to pursue every line of inquiry. at the same time, we also know, for example, rape and sexual assaults, the prosecution and conviction rates for those are incredibly low. we have a tsunami of male sexual violence towards women and girls as it is. if the police are being told you have just got to put more resources into tackling, say, carand phone crime,

that means there is going to be less time and less focus on those really serious violent offences that quite rightly the public are concerned about. so what does "reasonable" mean? that is the question that lies behind today's announcement. some officers might ask if it would be reasonable to downgrade a complex sexual abuse case, to pursue more shoplifters. mark easton, bbc news. joining me now is our political correspondentjonathan blake. jonathan, what more reaction has there been to new of this change in policing approach? for the government's p this prompt two questions, why aren't police doing this any way, and what will it mean for the investigation of more serious, complicated crimes? lieber say it is a recognition of 13 years of conservative failure, pointing out more than 90% of crimes go unsolved. it throws into focus police numbers which the government claims england and wales are now at a record level back above where they

were in 2010 before cuts were made. what that does not reflect is a growth in population over that time. at least one police and crime commissioner has what reasonable might mean for one was being different to —— to another. i suspect this will be judged on whether please feel police are investigating deaths although there is more readily than previously. crime policing, always a big issue before a general election, we will hear more from the government this week, but with that will come scrutiny of its own record in government. our political correspondent jonathan blake. there are reports of issues with the uk's air traffic control computer systems. the national air traffic services have confirmed they are experiencing "technical issues" and have "applied traffic flow restrictions to maintain safety". it follows reports of widespread disruption to uk aviation. our correspondent joe inwood joins me — joe, what more do we know?

at the moment in terms of what the causes of this are and how long it will go on, very little. there are technicalfailings will go on, very little. there are technical failings affecting all of uk aviation. we first got reports when people posted on social media across europe their flights were being delayed. then an official statement from loganair confirming there was a uk—wide system is a problem, followed up by the statement from the national air traffic service calling it a technical problem. at the moment, what is slightly confusing is there are some flight taking off and landing when you look at departure boards, but they will be going at a slower rate. it seems they are moving to manual systems which still allow flights to take off and land but they will cause delays. this is one of the busiest days of the year, more than 3,000 flights are meant to

land and take off. if you start to get delays, those will cause disruption which is bad news for those trying to get away or come back home. joe inwood. police on merseyside are appealing for witnesses after two people died after becoming trapped in their car on a flooded road. it's thought their vehicle got stuck in deep water under a bridge after a heavy rainfall. the home secretary has said she's confident asylum seekers can be safely housed aboard the bibby stockholm barge off the dorset coast — despite facing possible legal action from the fire brigades union. the fbu has previously described the vessel, which is docked in portland, as a "potential death trap". suella braverman has also refused to rule out the possibility of fitting electronic tags on some asylum seekers arriving illegally in the uk. the scottish covid—19 inquiry has opened in edinburgh today. families of those who died

and others who were separated from loved ones in care homes say this is a milestone moment. james shaw is at the inquiry for us. what can you tell us? lord brailsford, _ what can you tell us? lord brailsford, the _ what can you tell us? lord brailsford, the chair - what can you tell us? lord brailsford, the chair of - what can you tell us? lord brailsford, the chair of the j brailsford, the chair of the inquiry, _ brailsford, the chair of the inquiry, started this first public session— inquiry, started this first public session by laying out some of the context. — session by laying out some of the context, describing the pandemic as the most _ context, describing the pandemic as the most severe health crisis in living _ the most severe health crisis in living memory which had affected everyone — living memory which had affected everyone in scotland, every aspect of national — everyone in scotland, every aspect of national life, not just the 17,700 _ of national life, not just the 17,700 people who died and those bereaved — 17,700 people who died and those bereaved families, but people still living _ bereaved families, but people still living with the consequences of covid, — living with the consequences of covid, suffering from long covid, or people _ covid, suffering from long covid, or pe0pie who — covid, suffering from long covid, or people who had been affected in their employment or education. he said it _ their employment or education. he said it was — their employment or education. he said it was an all encompassing, competitive crisis that affected everyone, and he went on to explain how he _ everyone, and he went on to explain how he intends to proceed.

i will conduct a robust investigation without fear or favour, that will arrive at the facts, identify any lessons that need be learned, and make recommendations to scottish ministers, so we are better prepared in the event of any future pandemic. i will not take sides, and i will act with fairness towards all parties involved. it is fairto it is fair to say this has been a very emotional day for the families who have been bereaved, who have turned up to this first preliminary hearing today. and there has been some criticism of the inquiry, this preparation stage that has been going on since last year. some of the families have described it as shambolic. the first chair actually resigned, and a new one has been put in place, lord brailsford. others are keeping an open mind, hopeful

that this scottish inquiry, distinct from the uk wide one, will give them some of the answers they are looking for. james shaw, in edinburgh. new pictures have emerged of the moment a p&o cruise ship slipped its moorings during a violent storm in the spanish holiday island of mallorca, and then collided with a cargo ship. passengers say the cruise ship was being pushed ashore by tugs when a walkway fell away. p&o says a small number of people, sustained minor injuries. harry farley reports. definitely going to smash into us. bracing for the moment of impact. there you, hold up. it is going to hit. thudding, crashing. oh, my god. mooring lines snapped, and the cruise ship floated away like a paper boat, according to one of those on board. it drifted off its berth in the port of palma in mallorca, and collided with a tanker. alarm sounds.

alarms sounded, and the ship's crew launched an emergency drill. tannoy: all crew, proceed - to your emergency duty stations. p&o cruises said a small number of passengers had minor injuries and were being treated on board. eventually the britannia was pushed back on to its mooring, and the captain told passengers there was no structural compromise to the vessel. wind howls. winds of up to 75 miles an hour and torrential rain have battered the balearic islands. residents have described their terror as they watched the storm wreak havoc. translation: l was very, - very afraid when the pine tree fell. this and the chairs - from the bar flying away, everything, i saw how it fell. it was scary. more than 20 flights have been cancelled, and weather warnings are in place today. harry farley, bbc news. spain's football federation is due to hold an emergency meeting

today to discuss the crisis which has engulfed the sport in the country. the federation's president luis rubiales was suspended by the world governing body fifa, after kissing the player, jenni hermoso on the lips, following spain's women's world cup win. he insists the kiss was consensual. ms hermoso says it wasn't. our correspondent guy hedgecoe is in madrid. guy, what are we expecting today? we are expecting this federation meeting to give us an idea of the federation's position now regarding luis rubiales, and the fallout from that infamous kiss that he gave jenni hermoso which has caused this crisis over the last week. the federation throughout last week was supporting luis rubiales to the hilt issuing communiques supporting him,

saying the kiss was consensual. however he has been suspended by fifa. there is a feeling there could be a change of tack by the federation in his absence. i should point out there is another important meeting today, i am outside the national sport tribunal. its members are meeting today as well. that is in response to a government request for proceedings to be opened against mr rubiales which the government hopes can potentially lead to his removal from hopes can potentially lead to his removalfrom office. we do not know when a decision on this will come out but that could be another potentially important meeting today. guy hedgecoe, from madrid. from midnight tonight london's ultra low emission zone or ulez will expand from an area covering the city centre to the whole of the capital. it will become the world's largest ultra low zone. owners of the most polluting vehicles will have to pay a daily charge of £12.50 for driving

in the area covered. helena wilkinson is in west london. a matter of hours now before these new policies come in. yes, we are in ealing in west london and on the border of the current ultra low emission zone. anyone crossing thisjunction ultra low emission zone. anyone crossing this junction at the moment in a noncompliant car had to pay £12 50 a day. as you mentioned, from midnight, the boundary will be significantly expanded and will cover all 32 london boroughs, like heathrow airport and also wembley. it is a controversial plan, and continues to be criticised. the mayor of london sadiq khan has defended the plan, saying they are needed to protect people's health. but residents, businesses and some

politicians have criticised it particularly because of the financial impact it will have on some people. it is worth pointing out the majority of vehicles are compliant and there is if you live in london a scrappage scheme where you can get your car scrapped in return for money. we also know as you mentioned it comes into force at midnight and you mentioned it comes into force at midnightand if you mentioned it comes into force at midnight and if you want to check your vehicle if it is compliant or not you can go on to the transport for london website. helena wilkinson. a huge totem pole is set to be returned to canada, nearly a century after it was sold to a museum in scotland. it was carved from red cedar wood in the mid 19th century, stands at around 11 metres tall and weighs a tonne. indigenous researchers say the pole was stolen. members of the nisga'a nation in north—western british columbia are taking part in a ceremony in edinburgh to prepare it for thejourney back of more than 4,000 miles. it is very significant. it is a memorial pole.

but it also represents a chapter in our living visual archive. and so, if you think about each one of these totem poles, we would have many of them, and we have many of them within our nation. and so each one represents a constitutional chapter about the nisga'a peoples, and our relationship to the land that we belong. the final day of europe's biggest street party, the notting hill carnival, is under way in the streets of west london. it's now in its 55th year and celebrates caribbean culture and history. thousands of people have been attending over the weekend and adults and children who have spent weeks on their costumes have been taking part in the three—mile long parade. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich. iam going i am going to start with a look at the weather across mallorca. this i am going to start with a look at

later, a band of heavy and thundery rain pushing into north—west scotland. showery rain into northern ireland, north—west england. further south and east, holding on to cloud. further north and west, the skies will clear. tomorrow, scotland and northern ireland should start with a lot of sunshine. england and wales will see more cloud. a band of showers pushing in through the day. heavy showers and thunderstorms getting into northern and central scotland in the afternoon. 15 degrees. in a way, 21 for norwich and london. tuesday evening, we could see the odd thunderstorm across the south east of england. high pressure trying to build in for the middle of the week but there will still be showers on wednesday especially across northern and eastern areas. drier and brighterfor a time in the

west. temperatures up to 20. this area of cloud and rain will affect some of us on thursday. but actually as we head into september, it may be that high pressure builds. there is quite a lot of uncertainty for the end of the week. still some showers around but signs things might turn a little bit drier. thanks, ben. and that's bbc news at one. you can keep up with all the latest developments on the bbc news website. the news continues here on bbc one — as now it's time to join our colleagues across the nations and regions for the news where you are.
