so other people started jumping outside. - a towering inferno, that kills at least 76 people in south africa. the emergency services said people were leaping to their deaths from fifth floor windows, to escape the flames. we will be live tonight injohannesburg where the grim task of recovery is under way. also tonight, we will be live in florida where tens of thousands of people are still without power. hurricane idalia caused significant damage along the gulf coast, where the clean up is under way. and a special report this evening on the influencer andrew tate, charged in romania with rape and human trafficking. it is an appalling tragedy.

7a people, including 12 children, killed in a fire that swept through an abandoned five storey building injohannesburg. these are images of the blaze. there are reports that some of the dead, who lived in a maze of shacks and other makeshift structures, threw themselves out of the windows to escape the fire. emergency services says a further 52 people were injured. that search and recovery operation is being carried out floor by floor, with fears the death toll could rise further. a resident of the building, who managed to escape, gave us this account of what happened. i don't know how it start, but when we wake up, the whole building, it was fire. we don't know how it start. how did you get out? we jumped out of the window. yeah. i jumped out of the window, and my wife throw me the baby. i catch the baby, and hejump, i catch him. yeah, and we were out, but all our things burned. president cyril ramaphosa

is heading to the scene to be briefed by the emergency services. a few hours ago he sent a condolence message to the families of the victims. my deep condolences to the families of those who have passed away and those who are injured. and our hearts go out to every person who is affected by this disaster. and i do hope the investigations into the fire will enable communities and authorities to prevent a repeat of such a tragedy. the abandoned building is in a business district in johannesburg. it was filled with homeless people who had moved in looking for shelter during these current cold winter months. many of those who lived there would be undocumented migrants from other african countries. so it wouldn't be considered formal accommodation. there was no lease, and quite clearly the building was not being properly looked after.

live now to shingai nyoka who is at the scene. lets talk about the tragedy itself. do we know how the fire started and why it spread so fast? the investigations _ why it spread so fast? the investigations have - why it spread so fast? tue: investigations have begun why it spread so fast? tte: investigations have begun and why it spread so fast? t'te: investigations have begun and they are still trying to establish what caused this fire. what we do know and we heard this from witnesses earlier on, is that the fire started at 1am in the morning. teenagers that were across the road say they heard people crying for help and they alerted the emergency services and looked out the window and saw people jumping and looked out the window and saw peoplejumping out and looked out the window and saw people jumping out of the building. to try to escape the inferno and save their lives. some of them were trying to use sheets to get down onto the ground floor and some of them died as a result of trying to

jump them died as a result of trying to jump to safety. as you mentioned, this is a very unusual situation. in the sense that these are what are called hijack properties and many of them in the inner cities of south africa. over a hundred of them. what has happened, they are buildings which were condemned. is one belongs to the city ofjohannesburg and had been taken over by gangs who rented these rooms out, rented out the apartments to families, so there was apartments to families, so there was a lot of overcrowding and there was no consistent electricity or water supply and so there were illegal connections of electricity and some families were using paraffin stoves and gas stoves so the fire could have been started any number of ways but there are a lot of people out tonight not knowing what is going to happen and where they are going to spend the night tonight. tar

within the south african economy and within the south african economy and within the south african society. a, within the south african society. a truly appalling tragedy. thanks for joining us. hurricane idalia was the most powerful storm to hit the big bend of florida in 125 years. but early assesments today suggest the state mightjust have avoided the worst case scenario. there were nearly 6,000 homes flooded in pasco county alone, that is just north of tampa, and still there are 400,000 people across three states without power. in some pretty steamy temperatures, too. but this time last year, hurricane ian caused catastrophic damage around fort myers, killing 150 people, so by comparison this could have been much worse. that said it will take time for the authorities to reach the more remote areas — some routes still blocked by flood water or downed trees. idalia — now a tropical storm — has moved into the atlantic — after crossing georgia and south carolina.

president biden will visit the area and assess the damage on saturday. and after 9ft storm surges in certain places along the gulf coast, there will be some communities worse hit than others. let's hear from some of those affected. i'm feeling great. the house is still here, but there are so many houses that are gone. and so much stuff around. i've never seen anything like this. as i rode through town, trying to get to my house, you see trees uprooted, power lines, you know, laying in the road. and it'sjust pretty devastating. it took a toll on this town. we stayed in the wal—mart parking lot last night and the wind - wasjust howling, howling. and we were boxed in. and there was other residents there from, you know, - that left their house. and, man, it wasjust unbelievable how- strong winds can be. mother nature is definitely

nojoke to play with. - a short time ago, the govenor of florida ron desantis told a news conference that the emergency services were trying to restore power and clear debris on roads. we're working hard to restore power across the state of florida. as of 6am today, there are approximately 146,000 power outages recorded across the state, but power is being restored quickly. thus far, 420,000 accounts that lost power during the storm have been restored. a lot of the help had been repositioned before the hurricane blew through an joe repositioned before the hurricane blew through anjoe biden made a surprise visit to workers at the federal emergency management agency in washington and he told them he wanted to thank them for dealing with hurricane idalia as well as the wildfires in hawaii. itruiith with hurricane idalia as well as the wildfires in hawaii.— wildfires in hawaii. with climate chan . e wildfires in hawaii. with climate change really — wildfires in hawaii. with climate change really kicking _ wildfires in hawaii. with climate change really kicking in, - wildfires in hawaii. with climate change really kicking in, you - wildfires in hawaii. with climate | change really kicking in, you guys are going 24 hours per day and 365

areas. flooding was the big issue in charleston. category three hurricane when it hit florida but by the time it came to georgia and then us it was downgraded to a tropical storm so the flooding of the high tide was the biggest concern of the night. —— and the high tide. the biggest concern of the night. -- and the high tide.— and the high tide. would my characterisation _ and the high tide. would my characterisation of _ and the high tide. would my characterisation of it - and the high tide. would my characterisation of it be - and the high tide. would myj characterisation of it be fair, and the high tide. would my - characterisation of it be fair, that given the size of the storm, 125 miles across, we got off lightly here? there's a lot of damage and a lot of trees down but it could have been a lot worse?— lot of trees down but it could have been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodauin a been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet _ been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet and _ been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet and i _ been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet and i think— been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet and i think that - been a lot worse? yes, we talk about dodging a bullet and i think that is i dodging a bullet and i think that is what we did. we are so used to hurricane is coming in off the atlantic but this one came in through the back door because it has come through georgia and we sought rain levels, when they hit 11pm the night before, they said it would be a category four and that it might still be a hurricane when it hit

charleston, that opened our eyes, when the storm was heading our way, but when we saw the pattern more inland and on the coast, which we do not see often in south carolina, the winds were not as sustained as much, and we were prepared for the potential damage that a hurricane can do, and we were prepared when it came to this one but we are breathing a sigh of relief that it was not as bad as we thought it could have been. at, was not as bad as we thought it could have been.— could have been. a lot of the pictures. _ could have been. a lot of the pictures. the _ could have been. a lot of the pictures, the power - could have been. a lot of the pictures, the power is - could have been. a lot of the pictures, the power is out, . could have been. a lot of the pictures, the power is out, itj could have been. a lot of the l pictures, the power is out, it is pretty steamy at the moment, so uncomfortable if you don't have air conditioning. how quickly will it come back on?— conditioning. how quickly will it come back on? , . , come back on? they are putting the ower come back on? they are putting the power back — come back on? they are putting the power back on _ come back on? they are putting the power back on last _ come back on? they are putting the power back on last night, _ come back on? they are putting the power back on last night, as - come back on? they are putting the power back on last night, as a - power back on last night, as a matter of fact, utility companies bring in extra help from different states to help with the power and we had thousands without power last night but we are working to get the power. the big thing we're talking about now, on the newscast, beach

erosion, the barrier islands around her, they took a hit. they always take a hit when it comes to storms, and sea turtles are nesting and going out to the ocean, so there is also concern when it came to beach erosion and that is what we are looking at but as far as power, the majority of people have their power back on. . , ., ., , �* . back on. that is good news. brendan, have a good — back on. that is good news. brendan, have a good show— back on. that is good news. brendan, have a good show this _ back on. that is good news. brendan, have a good show this evening. - around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a police officer driving a van who followed two teenagers before they both died in an e—bike crash is being investigated for dangerous driving. 16 year old kyrees sullivan and harvey evans, who was 15, died after the bike they were riding crashed in ely, cardiff, in may. the deaths led to riots which saw 15 officers injured and dozens arrested. the prime minister has appointed grant shapps as defence secretary, after the previous holder

of thejob, ben wallace, stood down. it's part of a mini—reshuffle — and taking on mr shapps' former role of energy and net zero secretary is claire couthino — another close ally of rishi sunak. a last minute deal to save the collapsed retailer wilko has fallen through. hundreds ofjob losses are expected to follow. the discount chain went into administration earlier this month — although for now its stores remain open. pricewaterhousecoopers is trying to find another buyer for the store. you're live with bbc news. the bbc has uncovered evidence that dozens of women were potentially groomed into online sex work by the influencer andrew tate's all—male society, the "war room". a documentary team has spoken to whistle blowers and alleged victims. they were given exclusive access to 12,000 pages of encrypted messages,

which reveal the instructions given to war room members to make women gradually submit to their control. the directorjamie tarson and matt shay the reporter are with us. so you have investigated this all male society the war room, what did you discover? most people know andrew tate for his online content which has been called misogynistic but he also runs a secret all—male society, which he saysis secret all—male society, which he says is a self help society which helps you become a better man and it costs £6,000 per year tojoin but what we uncovered is that they are actually teaching men methods were grooming women into online sex work. we have identified from the messages at least 45 potential victims of this grooming method. not all members would engage in these methods but many did judging by the evidence. you methods but many did 'udging by the evidence. ., . . , , .,

andrew tate's war room so we see senior members giving advice and men it seemingly acting on the advice ending up with women working for them in the online sex industry. we can hear from one of the alleged victims, amanda, not her real name. you know, iwas victims, amanda, not her real name. you know, i was 21, and victims, amanda, not her real name. you know, iwas 21, and i victims, amanda, not her real name. you know, i was 21, and i was not making _ you know, i was 21, and i was not making any— you know, i was 21, and i was not making any money _ you know, i was 21, and i was not making any money. i _ you know, i was 21, and i was not making any money. i was - you know, i was 21, and i was not making any money. i was young l you know, i was 21, and i was not. making any money. i was young and you know, i was 21, and i was not - making any money. i was young and in a very— making any money. i was young and in a very vulnerable _ making any money. i was young and in a very vulnerable position. _ making any money. i was young and in a very vulnerable position. i— making any money. i was young and in a very vulnerable position. i did - a very vulnerable position. i did not feel— a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that _ a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that i _ a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that i myself _ a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that i myself had - a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that i myself had a - a very vulnerable position. i did not feel that i myself had a loti a very vulnerable position. i did i not feel that i myself had a lot to offer _ not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so _ not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so this _ not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so this older— not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so this older guy— not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so this older guy being - not feel that i myself had a lot to offer so this older guy being into| offer so this older guy being into me was— offer so this older guy being into me was attractive. _ offer so this older guy being into me was attractive.— me was attractive. until the first mention of _ me was attractive. until the first mention of webcam _ me was attractive. until the first mention of webcam he - me was attractive. until the first | mention of webcam he portrayed himself as someone who was romantically interested in you? absolutely, yes. what more can you tell us about amanda's story?

what is so striking about the woman we are referring to as amanda, and the other woman, they were both approached in the same way, they say, both approached by a man who betrayed themselves as romantically interested and who said they wanted to be their boyfriend and it was only after a long period of a relationship that they realised that according to them this man was grooming them to work in the sex online industry.— grooming them to work in the sex online industry. they had not spoken to each other — online industry. they had not spoken to each other before _ online industry. they had not spoken to each other before you _ online industry. they had not spoken to each other before you interviewed| to each other before you interviewed them? they had not swapped stories? no, so imagine what it was like for them, thinking they were in this relationship, and then eventually when the conversation was had with these women by their alleged groomer to work in online webcam sex performing, by that time, it was too late, they were already engaged in a relationship with this person. can ou talk relationship with this person. can you talk about the process? how does a grooming process like that work? there are different aspects of the method _ there are different aspects of the method that we see being taught

that is another interesting, we speak to a man who claims to have been the head of sales and marketing for the war room and he talks about dozens of people working in marketing for andrew tate to share clips of him and discredit people like us who are reporting, so if you go and search social media and you see people saying that our reporting is a lie, those people are being orchestrated to an extent from within the war room as part of a marketing campaign. did within the war room as part of a marketing campaign.— within the war room as part of a marketing campaign. did you approach andrew tate about _ marketing campaign. did you approach andrew tate about this _ marketing campaign. did you approach andrew tate about this documentary? | andrew tate about this documentary? we approached him numerous times and you approached him and he offered an interview— you approached him and he offered an interview on _ you approached him and he offered an interview on one occasion and we even _ interview on one occasion and we even went— interview on one occasion and we even went to his house in romania. we can— even went to his house in romania. we can play— even went to his house in romania. we can play you that clip because we have got the clipper when you called him. —— the clip. andrew. mr honest journalism. that

so these weather fronts, then, continue to bring outbreaks of rain through the evening and overnight. we could see an area of thundery rain move through the channel. may just graze southern counties of england. certainly wet nights in store for the channel islands. further north, rather cloudy with some patchy light rain and drizzle. quite a mild night in the south, but under clear skies in scotland, it'll be quite chilly. so, for friday, we start off with plenty of sunshine across most of scotland. southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england will see this weakening weather front, some spots of rain on it. it'll also be brightening up across other parts of england and wales through the afternoon. some sunshine, also a few showers on the heavy side in places, and feeling warmer, up to 22 degrees. as we move through friday night, that weather front across central areas will continue to fizzle out. clouds break up, and we'll see increasing clear skies. but that way leads to mist and fog to develop by dawn, certainly across parts of england, wales, into northern ireland. a mild night to come again first thing saturday, but it's not going to be quite as much as what we'll expect tonight.

weekend, then, is looking dry, sunny and warm thanks to high pressure building in. there mayjust be the odd shower, and we will see these weather fronts just flirting with the far north of scotland. otherwise, most places will be fine and settled. we do start, though, with the mist and fog, some low cloud through saturday morning. and then that will tend to lift and burn away, and we should see plenty of sunshine. could develop into just the odd isolated shower across england and wales, but most places will be dry. it'll feel warmer — up to 23 degrees in the south, 20 degrees through central and eastern scotland. sunday, we do it all again. again, some early mist and fog. that'll clear to plenty of sunshine. this weather front will bring some wetter and breezier weather to the north and west of scotland. 18 degrees there for stornoway, but warmer further south. 24—25 degrees across some central and southern areas. and that fine, dry, sunny, warm weather continues for the upcoming week, but towards the end of the week, we'll start to see some showers moving in off the atlantic. take care.

hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the eu comes under more pressure with this budget and the cost of supporting ukraine.

sport now, and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. we'll start with the champions league draw, which is now done and dusted. defending champions manchester city were handed a pretty favourable draw as they were paired with rb leipzig for the third time in a row, as well as red star belgrade and swiss club young boys. manchester united have been drawn with harry kane's bayern munich in group a, along with fc copenhagen from denmark and turkish side galatasaray. mikel arteta's arsenal, who are playing in their first champions league group stage campaign in seven years, are with europa league—winners sevilla, dutch club psv eindhoven and rc lens of france. atetico madrid have got celtic, lazio and dutch champions feyenoord. but by far the trickiest group is group f, which contains newcastle, paris saint—germain, borussia dortmund and ac milan. well, there's ten games going on tonight in the europa league qualifying play—offs and a further 22 in the europa conference league qualifying play—offs.
