and the family of a colombian man believed to have taken his own life detectives are to begin questioning three relatives of ten—year—old sarah sharif. hello, i'm lukwesa burak. more international help is arriving for libya, where it's feared as many as 20,000 people may have died during catastrophic floods. the mayor of derna says the figure is based on the number of districts destroyed in sunday's disaster — when a tsunami—like river of floodwater swept through the city. 5,300 people are known to have died, but thousands remain missing. joe inwood has this report. derna is a city overwhelmed. first by water,

then by the scale of the humanitarian catastrophe the flooding has caused. and finally, overwhelmed by grief at the loss of life. "god give me patience. my heart is with you," this man cries as he sees the body of his young son. it's now becoming clearer that this was a natural disaster, but enabled by human actions. the wadi derna river had two dams — both failed. the upper one, ten kilometres from the town, had a capacity of about 1.5 million cubic metres of water. when that burst, that water, with a weight of about 1.5 million tonnes, rushed to the sea, sweeping the second dam and about a quarter of the city with it. translation: we had warned the authorities since _ last week — no, for years — 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.

the blame will inevitably fall on the politicians and warlords who have tried, and failed, to run this country since the fall of the dictator, muammar gaddafi. it is blame they will try and avoid. translation: it has been an enormous shock and i don't — translation: it has been an enormous shock and i don't want _ translation: it has been an enormous shock and i don't want to _ translation: it has been an enormous shock and i don't want to point - translation: it has been an enormous shock and i don't want to point the - shock and i don't want to point the blame at anyone or cause controversy. even if all measures have been taken, there would have been losses, massive losses. while the overwhelming majority of victims will be libyans, others were caught up in the disaster. 7a egyptians, all from the same town, were swept out to sea. "i've lost four members of my family," hassan says. "my son called his brother last thursday for the last time, telling him that he will get clothes for the children. oh, my dear son," he finishes. international aid is starting to arrive.

but the same crumbling infrastructure that allowed this disaster to happen also prevents the help getting through. when you walk on the ground in derna, what you smell is the smell of corpses. and what you hear is the screams of women and children. and we don't have what it takes. we need more rescue teams. the situation is way worse than it seems in the media. it is hard to comprehend the full scale of this tragedy. the force of nature, and the failings of government, saw entire families, entire communities, simply washed into the sea. joe inwood, bbc news. and we can cross now to rajini vaidyanathan at bbc verify. what more can you tell us? you have been looking through some of the image connected to this flooding.

bit closer to give you some detail. this is derna and these are the two dams which were breached in the wake of storm daniel, the waterjust gushed out towards a very populated area here in derna into the mediterranean. now we have seen those maps, let's bring you some of the satellite imagery we've been looking at. this is the before imagery, which shows you derna, we've been talking a lot about it, a population of around 92,000 to 100000 and you can see on this one satellite imagejust how 100000 and you can see on this one satellite image just how built up that city is, or was i should say. and you can see there the coast as well. i'm going to bring you back to this area here, because it is around here that dad video that we began with shows you the road intact. if we stay there, we can go to the after nature, it has gone, as have

huge swathes of the city of derna, as you can see, alljust washed away and it really is staggering when you look at the before and after images. they are really useful for us not just to see the damage but also the scale of that damage and we have some more satellite images. this is one of the two dams that i showed you on the map. this is the road that went over that time before. we will stay with it and i'm going to move to satellite images in the aftermath. again, as you can see, the dam breached and then the water caused all that devastation. what we do at bbc verify is a at a lot of the satellite images more detail. this imaging here can go a lot closer in and if we bring the camera in much closer, you can see here a row of cars are parked up next to what appears to be a residential building. if wejust what appears to be a residential building. if we just move across here, you can't see anything, really, there is really nothing

left, it isjust lots really, there is really nothing left, it is just lots of mud. really, there is really nothing left, it isjust lots of mud. in body landscape, real devastation here. it really does give you a picture of what's happening on the ground in derna. as you were saying, local authorities say that as many as 200,000, 20,000, pardon me, people in derna alone could have died. it is a staggering death toll, one in five people who live there and what we are trying to do at bbc verify is try and work out where the most populated areas are to see if we can corroborate that number. so we can corroborate that number. so we will be looking at that throughout the day. we we will be looking at that throughout the day. we will be looking at that throu~hout the da . ~ ., ., throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank _ throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank you _ throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank you very _ throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank you very much - throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank you very much for - throughout the day. we look forward to that, thank you very much for the | to that, thank you very much for the latest. the father, stepmother and a of sir sharif will be questioned today after being arrested on their return to the uk last night. the three adults went to pakistan the day before the ten—year—old's body was found in woking last month. the return voluntarily. daniel sandford

the search is of course are continuing. the country has accepted aid from four countries — the united kingdom, qatar, spain and the united arab emirates, but resources from several other countries and the united nations remain on standby. live now to hana elabdallaoui, who's head of programmes at islamic relief worldwide. she joins us from marrakesh. thank you forjoining us. firstly, what is the latest that you are seeing there?— seeing there? the latest this morning. _ seeing there? the latest this morning. the _ seeing there? the latest this morning, the situation - seeing there? the latest this morning, the situation is - seeing there? the latest thisj morning, the situation is still seeing there? the latest this - morning, the situation is still sad. people are still in the rubble. the bodies are still on the rubble, even

animals are still on the rubble. it is huge, i mean, something that you can find in different areas, and it is still increasing as the day passes but the good news is organisations are coordinating themselves and with the local authorities so they can reach the most affected areas. tents are being distributed. we are providing support to the people through the distribution of blankets, mattresses, pillows, hygiene kits and today we are organising more distribution. we are focusing mainly in the rural areas but others are not targeted just because they

cannot be accessed with trucks. this is what we are facing now. there a of items in marrakesh, so people have had to go to casablanca where they can get the items from suppliers and make their way to the areas of distribution. of course this is a challenge because the distributions are delayed, we are distributing mainly during the late hours like 10pm or even 11pm. trier? hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very cuickl , hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very quickly. to — hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very quickly. to give _ hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very quickly. to give us _ hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very quickly, to give us a _ hours like 10pm or even 11pm. very quickly, to give us a sense of the conditions that people are living in, what's it like when an aftershock does strike? people are afraid, aftershock does strike? people are afraid. peeple _ aftershock does strike? people are afraid, people are _ aftershock does strike? people are afraid, people are still— aftershock does strike? people are afraid, people are still scared, - aftershock does strike? people are afraid, people are still scared, so i afraid, people are still scared, so yesterday for example, we continued with our assessment and we sat with ladies to understand their situation. they were saying that they are still afraid that another earthquake could happen and anytime

there is theyjust run and there is chaos and they don't know what to do. even the children are still in the trauma process. so psychological and social support is also needed. thank you very much indeed for that. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. let's look at some other stories making the news. john lewis has said its plan to return to profit will take two years longer after it reported further losses for the first half of the year. the high street giant, which also owns waitrose, said rising business costs and larger than expected investment requirements meant that its recovery plan would not be finished until 2028. the number of payments made using cash has risen for the first time in a decade, according to the banking trade body, uk finance. consumers often say they find it easier to manage

their money using cash. however, its latest figures make clear that plastic is still king when it comes to making payments. the department of health have said that steve barclay�*s comments on r4 today are a formal commitment to martha's rule in england, which would give families a statutory right to get a second opinion if they have concerns about care. this follows a campaign by the parents of martha mills, who died at 13 in hospital after developing sepsis. you're live with bbc news. the number of people in england waiting to start routine hospital treatment has risen to a record high. nhs figures released today show an estimated 7.68 million people were waiting to start treatment at the end ofjuly — up from 7.57 million injune. it is the highest number since records began in august 2007. it's estimated that at the end ofjuly, 7,289 people in england had

been waiting more than 18 months for routine treatment. that number was also up onjune's figure. 0ur health correspondent jim reed told me what these latest figures mean. this is a big political issue across the uk but particularly in england at the moment because one of rishi sunak�*s big pledges is to start to reduce waiting lists in england. the overall waiting lists, as you have just outlined, keep going up so, 7.7 million people are waiting for what's called consultant led treatment. that could be in operation, it could be they have come to their gp and the gp said, look, this is to come to cater for me to look at, you need to go to hospital to see a specialist, so they could be on the waiting list for diagnosis, for an appointment to talk about the problem or for an operation at the end of the process. back to put this in context, 7.7

million people is one in every seven people in england. so you can see why this is a big political issue across notjust england but the rest of the uk as well, where waiting lists have also been very high and rising. the government says an extra £200 million is being put in to help deal with this, to help deal with winter pressures as the nhs starts to get into that period, november, december, january which is often very difficult for doctors and nurses because more people come forward with colds and bugs, more slips and falls in the winter, which is why you are seeing this pledge today for an extra 200 million in england. i should say when you look at the statistics, the government to say that a lot of this is about industrial action, we had junior doctors and more senior consultant doctors and more senior consultant doctors on strike in august at the time this data was taken but actually, when you look at a graph for the overall waiting list in england, it was going up well before the pandemic hit in 2020, then there

was a sharp increase over that pandemic period, then the number seems to still be taking up not quite the same pace but still rising. the comment says it has had some success in the —— and the nhs saying this as well, reducing the longest waits, those waiting more than two years or more than 18 months, but overall this waiting list is still going up and it's proving to be quite a difficult political issue for the government with an election around the corner probably next year across the uk. the family of a colombian man believed to have taken his own life in an immigration facility in march has told the bbc he begged for help and was willing to leave the uk. frank 0spina died within a month of being locked up, despite, his family said, having no existing mental health problems. next week a public inquiry will report on abuse at a gatwick centre following a bbc investigation. but more pressure is expected in detention centres as the government toughens

its approach to immigration. here's our home affairs correspondent tom symonds. in chile, 5,000 miles from london, a family is mourning. translation: he wanted to return | to colombia to continue his work. | he was a civil engineer, a professional. the sister and brother—in—law of frank 0spina are bewildered by his death in a british immigration detention centre. but they are sure he wasn't an asylum seeker. translation: he said - he could pay his ticket out, but they said he would have stayed there for months. they say he'd come to the uk from colombia to visit his mother before studying in spain, but he was caught working illegally and sent to the detention centres at heathrow where his family say his mental health rapidly went downhill. translation: he didn't ask for help - _ he begged for help, and he was begging for help not only

to us but also to the people there, like the guards. on march the 26th he was found dead. his family have been told he took his own life. they believe a critical factor was being detained. immigration removal centres are where the government holds people it expects to deport. the government has toughened the law. 0ne change — it'll be removing more migrants who use deception to come to the uk, small boats for example. it says these centres are essential to that policy, so they will be filling up. but its six years since this. whispers: callum tulley, 21 years old. _ i work in an immigration removal centre. secret bbc filming of brutal treatment by detention officers. are you going to stop being an idiot?! yes or no?! a public inquiry reports next week, highly significant because six years on, doctors who examine detainees are warning the way they are treated as making poor mental health worse.

in detention, the first recourse is often to increase custodial processes. put them in a cell? put them in a cell, put them with someone watching them, or frequent intrusive checks, which are not by a health professional, they are by a custodial member of staff. in the last year, medicaljustice assessed 66 detainees in six centres, including this one at harmondsworth. 13 had attempted suicide and one factor stood out — the lack of a release date. that kind of sudden nature of detention and the indefinite nature of detention can really be a crisis in their mental health and really can cause a great deal of stress and exacerbation of any current mental health problems. detainees, including this man, have already noticed the system getting tougher. last year he was identified to be sent to rwanda. translation: i haven't done any | crime, i din't murdered anyone, | i didn't rape anyone or assault anyone. i don't know why i was treated this way. great britain is supposed to be

the greatest country in the world. the home office said its policy is to detain for the shortest period necessary with risk assessments when detainees arrive and systems for raising subsequent concerns. it said, "our staff are rigorously trained to ensure the safety of residents." but the family of frank 0spina believe that if the government is locking up someone who wants to leave britain, something may have gone wrong. tom symonds, bbc news, harmondsworth. now let's speak to theresa schleicher, a casework manager from medicaljustice — a uk charity that sends clinicians into immigration removal centres. thank you forjoining us. let's just pick up on that point, once your team members enter these immigration removal centres, what exactly do they do? removal centres, what exactly do the do? , ,, ,,

stress people, people being removed from their room at night to be deported, screaming and a lot of self—harm. then for some people it is the fear of being removed. people who have been tortured or trafficked in the past, people who have experienced unimaginable trauma in the past and that often comes back to them when they are detained, but they are again deprived of that liberty, if that has happened before, people who are imprisoned in the country of origin or by traffickers. so the whole environment can cause a deterioration.— environment can cause a deterioration. ~ . ., h, deterioration. we heard in a report, 'ust to deterioration. we heard in a report, just to remind _ deterioration. we heard in a report, just to remind viewers _ deterioration. we heard in a report, just to remind viewers you - deterioration. we heard in a report, just to remind viewers you featured | just to remind viewers you featured in that as well, the government has said that the staff working at these centres are rigorously trained. are they? what more should be done? there are some processes in place, but those processes have never worked effectively to protect people in detention. when somebody is first detained there should be seen by a gp within 24 hours. they then had to

windy across the far north, warm towards the far south. now, so far today, you can see what's been happening. we've got a swirl of cloud and low pressure to the north of scotland. that's what's bringing the strong winds, and it's this cloud here which stretches across parts of northern england, the midlands, wales, which has already brought some rain on and off, will continue to do so through the day. quite misty over the hills. either side of it, though, there's sunny spells. a few showers pushing through quite smartly on the breeze for scotland, northern ireland, maybe also cumbria and the isle of man. a dry, sunny day towards the south coast and across the channel islands where it'll feel a touch warmer than yesterday. now, as we go through into the evening and overnight, humidity levels will start to creep up a bit more across the south and push their way northwards. with it, the cloud and rain, which will get heavier through the night, will spread from wales, the midlands into northern england and then southeast scotland and the southeast of northern ireland as well as the isle of man. to the north of that, across the far north of scotland, a fresh night, not quite as fresh as last night towards the southeast corner with those humidity levels creeping up a little bit. but it will be a slightly more humid day and a lot more sunshine around for much of england and wales tomorrow, particularly

through wales, the midlands after today's cloud and rain. but southern scotland, northern ireland, cloudy, a wetter day and a fairly cool day. but notice these contrasts tomorrow. 0nly around 13 degrees in glasgow, creeping up to around 25 celsius in london as those temperatures rise yet again. they'll rise a bit further this weekend. area of low pressure across iberia, pretty stormy weekend here, will eventually bring more in the way of potential thunderstorms our way this weekend. but as it gets closer, you'll notice we've got humid air starting to push more widely across the country. so here's saturday first of all, a sunny day for parts of scotland and the west of northern ireland where not quite as humid. to the south of this cloud, which is still producing some showers across northern england, around the irish sea, most will have a dry day and a pretty warm one to the south east corner. a few thundery showers that are developing towards the southwest. they'll develop more widely as we go through southwest england and wales into the afternoon and a few more breaking out elsewhere. a lot more cloud compared with saturday, though, on sunday. but even though temperatures are down a bit, it will be a bit of a stifling day, especially where the sunshine comes

out as things start to turn that bit more humid. but next weekend, it's fresher again.
