to the uk from pakistan. more than five—thousand people are confirmed dead in libya — we hear the devastating personal stories. i already lost six people, we managed to take out three but were not able to find the other three. we're still trying to find the bodies. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, welcome to the daily global, where we'll bring you the top stories from around the world. a train carrying the north korean leader is winding its way back to pyongyang, after kimjong un�*s meeting with vladimir putin in russia's far east. in kim's back pocket — a promise of help with space technology, seen as a critical part of his wider nuclear weapons programme. what vladimir putin received in return is hard to tell — possibly the supply of ammunitions and artillery. but there's no mistaking the overall

message being sent to the west — we're not on the same page about global stability. our russia editor steve rosenberg reports. vladimir putin and kimjong—un. is this now a fine bromance? at the very least, both leaders believe they'd benefit from a closer relationship. their day began with a tour of a russian space centre. launch pads and rocket systems. north korea's reclusive leader was all ears. no surprise there — he wants help to develop his space and missile programmes. later, president putin said their talks would cover the economy and humanitarian issues. but was there a hidden agenda? in its war in ukraine, russia has been burning through ammunition. us officials believe that the kremlin has been trying to do a deal with north korea for munitions. if it has been, this former russian

foreign minister is unimpressed. it's very humiliating that a russian ally is now north korea again. a great power would not go to north korea for an alliance or military supplies. but the kremlin seems to believe that a great power is one that stands up to america. so, was there an arms deal or wasn't there? we simply don't know. but what is clear, i think, is that the kremlin is using closer ties with north korea to send a message to washington — that russia may be under pressure, under sanctions, but it still has the capacity to cause problems, big problems, for the west. in other words, is moscow using north korea to scare russia's opponents? that's what we are going to show you, that you disregard us, but we still have this incredible leverage around the world

and you don't even... we haven't even scratched the surface of how much we can do damage, potential damage, or at least freak you out. if that happens, i think that's putin's greater weapon than actual physical weapons. kim and putin, it's a marriage made not in heaven but in a geopolitical maelstrom. having a shared enemy, the west, has brought them together. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. live now to paul knott. he is a former british diplomat to both russia and ukraine. thank you forjoining us. talk us through the implications of this summit and we heard in the west. {iii summit and we heard in the west. of the biggest implications as the

ukraine, what this means is russia is desperate for more weapons and more armaments to continue the horrible things it is doing and it is not an expected because they've been trying to do that because they have not been able to produce enough for themselves and their closest friend, they've not been able to secure weaponry. the problem for the west and itjust reinforces, i think, the need to reinforce ukraine is much as possible and push russia out and it is a sign of russian desperation that, at the moment, north korea are pariahs in one of the few places they have to go for anything resembling friendship. it is with both of these parties in the world of global stability and what they believe particularly with regards to ukraine. it is

they believe particularly with regards to ukraine.— they believe particularly with regards to ukraine. it is but i think again. _ regards to ukraine. it is but i think again, it _ regards to ukraine. it is but i think again, it is _ regards to ukraine. it is but i think again, it is a _ regards to ukraine. it is but i think again, it is a sign - regards to ukraine. it is but i think again, it is a sign that i regards to ukraine. it is but i - think again, it is a sign that there is so little actual practical real support for russia in the world and so, they are very isolated and perhaps, one of the very few places they are giving any real support at all is possibly the most isolated country on earth which has no real allies and is widely seen as a problem for everybody else. [30 problem for everybody else. do you think ukrainians _ problem for everybody else. do you think ukrainians are _ problem for everybody else. do you think ukrainians are worried - problem for everybody else. do you think ukrainians are worried about i think ukrainians are worried about this? i think ukrainians are worried about this? ., �* , ., ,, ., this? i wouldn't try to speak for them but when _ this? i wouldn't try to speak for them but when you're - this? i wouldn't try to speak for them but when you're in - this? i wouldn't try to speak for them but when you're in a - them but when you're in a country thatis them but when you're in a country that is been attacked as much as it has and sounds like it's going to provide the russians with more ammunition to rain down on schools, hospitals, people sleeping in their beds at home, there will be an element of worry but as we have all seen, ukrainian people in government

and armed forces that shown themselves to be very determined and i think there will be an element of looking at it the other way as well and is that the only move that russia has and it shows how isolated they are in the world compared to they are in the world compared to the support of ukraine with many more countries. it's a story that's garnered huge attention both in the uk and pakistan. that of 10 year old sara sharif who was found dead in her home in southern england. herfather, step—mother and uncle, all left the country the day before sara's body was found. the latest development is that the three are right now on their way back to the uk via dubai. the children they travelled with have remained in pakistan. live now to our news correspondent, graham satchell who is in surrey for us.

what more do we know about those three family members who are on their way back to the uk? what their way back to the uk? what we can sa is their way back to the uk? what we can say is this _ their way back to the uk? what we can say is this is _ their way back to the uk? what we can say is this is a _ can say is this is a hugely significant moment in this police investigation and they've called it because for almost five weeks now, they've wanted to speak to sara sharif�*s father, stepmother and uncle and sara sharif was found in the family home which is just a few miles away with extensive and multiple injuries on august the 10th and subsequently the day before august the 9th, her father, stepmother had flown with the five of sara sharif�*s siblings to pakistan and what begin huge operation to operation to try to find them and so, pakistani police have been working hard and have raided more than 20 properties and

they have taken the father and brothers and even though they found the children earlier this week, the father and stepmother and uncle have never been found in this morning, early this morning at 530, we found they boarded the flight from the region of pakistan and they're making their way back here to london in the next few minutes that are likely to be met on the plane by officers from the police and be expecting them to be taken into custody and questioned and police want to find answers to what exactly happened in and around the ninth, 10th of august five weeks ago to sara sharif. 10th of august five weeks ago to sara sharif-— 10th of august five weeks ago to sara sharif. ~ �* , . ., sara sharif. we're expecting them to be taken straight _ sara sharif. we're expecting them to be taken straight to _ sara sharif. we're expecting them to be taken straight to the _ sara sharif. we're expecting them to be taken straight to the police - be taken straight to the police station as soon as they arrive? that is the expectation. _ station as soon as they arrive? twat is the expectation. we have not had that confirmed by the police and we are expecting an update, a statement from detectives and superintendent

who is leading the operation and that will happen in the next hour or so but that is the expectation. that there will be met on the plane when they arrive here in london and taken directly into custody.— directly into custody. thank you very much- _ now to the �*horrifying situation�* in libya. more than 5,000 people are known to have died in floods that have overwhelmed parts of the country's east. these are the pictures from derna — with people describing a tsunami of water hitting the city, after two dams collapsed. more than 10,000 people are still missing. all the details are disturbing — more than 311,000 people are homeless — witnesses talk of the sea — constantly depositing bodies on the shoreline. before i show you more of the aftermath — have a look at the moments the floodwater actually hit this city — the power — the speed — the force — sweeping everything away. people describe the land,

just disappearing in an instant. aid agencies talk of a desperate need for everything — from water, shelter, medicine, rescue teams — with clinics and hospitals in the east of the country swamped by the number of injured. the rescue operation has been made more difficult by the complicated political situation in libya. here's our correspondent quentin sommerville, a warning that you may find some of the images in his report upsetting. when the storm came, fractured libya was ill—prepared. half a year's rainfall fell in just 2a hours. in daylight, as much as a quarter of the port city of derna was revealed to be gone, engulfed by flood water after two mountain dams failed. families were washed out to sea as they slept. the grim work to retrieve the lost is under way. locals working alongside the army are helping to remove the dead, which now number in their thousands.

bodies are being washed ashore by the dozens. with terrible force, the flood swept through this city, destroying homes, cars, bridges. there was no warning, no evacuation order. gently, the body of a child is recovered from the rubble. few here are being found alive. derna and libya are overwhelmed. it is too much for those left grieving. entire families were swallowed by the deluge. translation: i already lost six - people, we managed to take out three and we did not find the other three, we have searching for the body, we could not find then. this is god's will and destiny. i lost my sisters and her daughters.

may god have mercy on the dead and bring bassit the lost. derna has long been marginalised. it was once a base for the islamic state group. years of neglect and conflict and two rival governments have seen libya fall apart. transit has been an enormous shock and i don't want to point the blame and create controy psi, everyone if all measures had been taken, there would have been loss, massive losses. —— controversy but more could have been done. we warned the authority, that the dam had cracks and needs to be maintained we said it and nobody listened to us and now the whole of derna is flooded. what remains here already barely functions. this hospital is struggling, deep in water, and flooded with casualties. international help is on the way.

these planes are from jordan, but with many of the roads in eastern libya washed away, aid will struggle to get through. this is libya's third day of national mourning, and still, the corpses keep coming. after a decade of chaos, this fresh tragedy is one the country can't bear alone. quentin sommerville, bbc news, beirut. anas el gomati is director of the sadeq institute, libya's first political think tank. he gave me his take on the current situation in libya. 0nce beautiful and vibra nt 0nce beautiful and vibrant city in the mediterranean has been transformed into a mass grave. instead of children playing and now they're throwing up the bodies of entire families on the ocean. it has horrible consequences it was a good post—apocalyptic scene. you can see

on the faces of the survivors from video footage, people that have been for three days without proper food, sanitation and water, without access to food or accessed any kind of health care, not only tired from a they've had to endure for the last three days but they're also working tirelessly to help recover bodies from under the rubble and buried bodies that are coming from the sea and train makes sense, psychologically for this happen to them because it is a massive shock to the system that a very small and very beautiful and very tightly knitted closed society because of the vibrant and beautiful city is rubble and floating everywhere. t rubble and floating everywhere. i don't know if you meant to say it but you mentioned genocidal consequences strong words. where do you think, given this is a natural disaster were talking about the aftermath, what does the blame lie? a national disaster with the storm

—— natural, but those pictures that you've shown in those videos, their influence slowly for for many hours ahead of renew for meteorologists and experts and it was a storm that went to bulgaria, greece and made its way over into north africa. there was time to prepare for this and massive criminal negligence of the authorities in the national army and the mayor coordinating with each other the tort residents to stay at home and not leave and they're asking whether or not they should leave and there were told to stay indoors, that had hours and hours and exploded into up with that half of the residents of that city and the other half that are still there are now, at the mercy of these generals have clung on the powerfor the last ten years and are still clinging on to power as the coordinated activities of the international community should be left alone. they should stand aside and let the relief agencies do their

work. around the world and across the uk. this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making news. a man has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a "dangerously out of control" dog, following an attack on an 11—year—old girl in birmingham. ana paun suffered serious arm and shoulder injuries when she was attacked by an american bully xl and staffordshire bull terrier crossbreed, while shopping with her sister on saturday. west midlands police say the dog is in secure kennels. four people are facing fraud charges over the collapse of uk bakery chain patisserie valerie. they include the former chief financial officer. the chain collapsed suddenly in 2018, with more than 900 jobs and 70 branches lost. the serious fraud office says the suspects "concealed 10 million pounds in debts", they're due to appear in court next month. a man who entered the grounds of windsor castle "to kill" the late queen believed he was a star wars—inspired character who had to �*right historical wrong'.

let's get some of the day's other news now a convicted murderer who has been on the run for two weeks after escaping from prison, has been caught. danielo cavalcante fled the chester county prison in pennsylvania on august the 31st and evaded capture until being tracked down with thermal imaging technology and surrounded. the armed fugitive was eventually subdued with a police dog. at least 56 people have died in a huge apartment block fire in the vietnamese capital, hanol about seventy people were rescued from the ten—storey building, with many of them taken to hospital. the fire, which broke out during the night, has been extinguished but rescue operations are continuing. the chief executive of the energy firm bp has resigned with immediate effect after a review of his personal relationships with colleagues. the company said it had recently started its second investigation in two years into bernard looney�*s conduct. he admitted he had not been fully transparent initially. mr looney had led bp since twenty—twenty. the firm says it has strong values,

which it expects everyone to follow. white back was exciting with new technology feels itself. there is always exciting when new technology reveals itself. apple has unveiled the latest version of its flagship iphone product. the iphone 15 will come with a usb—c port for the first time, to fall in line with upcoming eu rules. a move that some industry experts have warned could cause "mountains" of e—waste. our technology editor zoe kleinman has been taking a look. the theatre of a wealthy company well versed in performing for its fan club, apple has unveiled its latest iphone. we're so excited. you could join us today for some big announcements. it might not look vastly different to the ones already in the hands of millions. lots of the changes are hidden within the device, but one thing

you'll notice straight away is the new usb—c charging point. under pressure from the eu, apple's had to ditch its own lightning cable in favour of the connector used by most other smartphones, tablets and even video door bells. although the tech giant kept quiet about the reason at its big event. usb—c has become a universally accepted standard. we're going to make some history together today. - it was back in 2007 that apple co—founder stevejobs revolutionised the smartphone market and turbo—charged the fortune of the world's richest company. the iphone remains apple's best selling gadget, but with a top dollar price tag and people hanging onto their handsets for longer, it's no mean feat persuading the customers in these stores to buy them. especially when we're seeing incremental improvements rather than a big bang. and it's all about a slightly better camera, a new connector and other things like that. but let's not forget, the mobile phone is still the most

prolific consumer electronics device on the planet. there's one billion or more going to be sold this year. everyone's got them in their pockets. and the iphone is a fantastic franchise for apple. small updates, but they're still going to sell a lot of them. apple's super slick presentation gave no hint of its recent troubles, which include a share price tumble and an iphone restriction in china. the world's richest company has some big challenges. zoe kleinman, bbc news. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there. the weather was a lot drier today across england and wales with more in the way of sunshine. it's felt quite fresh in the sunshine, not particularly humid there.

and this was flamborough head with those sunny spells overhead. but further north and west, we had much thicker cloud in western scotland with rain arriving in argyll and bute through the afternoon. things starting to turn a little bit misty as well, and that rain is all associated with this developing low pressure. there's going to be bringing some wet and windy weather overnight, particularly to the northwest. so some strong winds working into scotland gales for a time here as a band of rain clears through, followed by some heavy showers. northern ireland becomes drier, but again there could be one or two showers here and there. rain sinks southwards across northern england, north wales and into the north midlands by the end of the night. this is going to be a relatively mild night compared with last night. temperatures, 11 to 13 degrees. now, this weather front is going to become very slow moving tomorrow. so if you start off with rain, chances are it will still be raining into the afternoon. so that's across parts of wales, the midlands, maybe northern england and lincolnshire as well.

the rain will turn a bit lighter and patchier at times further north. sunshine and showers still with some gales affecting northern areas of scotland. the weather turning quite humid with some warm sunshine across parts of east anglia and southern counties of england, now heading through thursday night and into friday. that weather front is going to change its mind and start pushing back northwards to the south of our fronts we get southerly winds and so it's going to start to get quite a bit warmer across scotland and northern ireland. well, not very warm, particularly with that thick cloud and the rain on the way. so for friday, rain turning quite heavy for a time in northern ireland, the rain crossing northern england moving back into southern and then central scotland. the far north, though, still having a day of sunshine and showers. england and wales few mist and fog patches possible, but otherwise we've got some warm spells of sunshine starting to feel a bit more humid with temperatures climbing 20 to 25 warm in the sun. scotland and northern ireland temperatures below par for the time of year. now into the weekend, an area of low pressure develops to our south. this could bring some severe

thunderstorms to parts of iberia and western france. for us, it's a question mark about how far those fronts will push. i think certainly this weekend there will be some rain around at times across the south of both england and wales. but there's a question mark about how much, if any, you'll see further north.

this is bbc news. the headlines. vladimir putin says military co—operation with north korea is a possibility, after a much anticipated visit by the country's leader, kim jong—un.
