preventing him from coming within 200m of the player he kissed at the women's world cup. the british government will provide up to £500 million to tata steel to keep the plant at port talbot open, but thousands ofjobs remain at risk. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, welcome to verified live, three hours of breaking stories and checking out the truth behind them. we start in libya, where the red crescent says the number of people killed in the flooding of the city of derna has risen to 11,000. this aerial footage captures the scale of the destruction. that number of deaths is expected to grow considerably as recovery efforts continue. there have already been some shocking details. thousands of people were carried out to sea, and some bodies have washed

up to shore more than 100km away. here's one survivor whose home was destroyed by the flooding. translation: the flood came and completely washed away l the valley, destroying everything around it. my life before was stable, everything was 100% good — i had my house and my family, but now there is nothing, there is no life any more. earlier, i spoke to our middle east correspondent lina sinjab, who gave us the latest. it is really a devastating situation, day in, day out, people are still shocked with the traumatic experience they have lived, with the loss that they have had, you know, everywhere around people are looking for bodies of their beloved ones, some families are counting, like, tens of members of theirfamilies have disappeared or confirmed dead. imagine you are sleeping in your bed and floods and the waters sweep you away into the water, this is really terrible, you know. the storm hit the city of derna,

and because of the floods and the rain, you know, two dams collapsed, breaking four bridges and destroying many streets and swept away many parts of the city derna, the most affected by this flooding, basically. officials say more than, you know, the number of dead could reach 20,000, and the un says that, you know, they need to provide aid for nearly 900,000 people, so the scale of the situation is massive, it is not a situation that the city can get out of it in days or weeks, it will be months before it comes back to some sort of normality, but living with this is something they will live with for the rest of their lives. lina, a lot has been said about the lack of warnings before this happened, what more do we know? unfortunately, this part of the world, in a developing country with inefficient government and corruption,

people went to the government and reported cracks in the dams, warning them there was something wrong, but nobody took action. authorities in east and west, this is a country with rival governments on both sides of the country after the toppling of the dictator muammar gaddafi in 2011, both sides they would launch an investigation into what happened, but unfortunately, experience in this part of the world, no transparency, no accountability, and it is hard to see they will do something proper about it. what happened happened, but hopefully that this is a lesson that they will build better infrastructure, the city of derna, the hospital is very weak and need everything from scratch, and for the moment they are also worried about diseases spreading because of the number of corpses that could be buried under rubble until the rescue operation can pull bodies out.

earlier, i spoke to the spokesperson for the united nations humanitarian 0ffice, jens laerke. he explained the scale of the tragedy in derna. there is no doubt that this is a colossal disaster. it came and surprised people in the middle of the night, and our hearts goes out to all of those people, it is absolutely terrifying, what we are seeing, and i have spoken to very experienced emergency responders who tell us that this is some of the worst scenes that we have seen. so now the responsibility, i want to say, is on the international community also, to come to the aid of people in libya. we are still in that kind of critical emergency phase, where people are trying to get survivors out of the rubble, taking them out from under the mud, and it is only after some time that we will know

the exact death toll. for example, and we are still hoping to see rescues. what is important is also the next phase, and that is where the international aid community then come to help, and we are already there, and it is critical that we look at provision of clean water and finding shelter for people, critical that we provide food to them. so that is really the next phase now. we have just launched an appeal for that. forgive me for interrupting, what is the un doing at this time? we have sent an emergency response team to the area, we are setting up a coordination hub in benghazi. we are supporting the un system

which was already there in libya and has been for quite some time, it is a country which has seen its fair share of trouble over the past decade, there were already 300,000 people we were provided with aid, even before this disaster happened. we are setting up a hub to make sure that there is a clear and reliable channel into the area for the aid that is so clearly needed. a little bit more detail on another story making headlines. three people have appeared in court charged with the murder of ten—year—old sara sharif, whose body was found at her family home in woking last month. the girl's father, urfan sharif, his partner and brother are also accused of causing or allowing the death of a child. the three were arrested on wednesday evening when they arrived back in the uk from pakistan. for more i spoke to our

correspondentjessica lane, who's at guildford magistrates court. herfather, herstepmother and her uncle, all accused of the murder of sara sharif on or about tuesday the 8th of august, and also all accused of causing or allowing the death of a child. the hearing here at the court lasted for about 20 minutes, and all three deny all of the charges. the court heard that her body was found on the bottom of a bunk bed in an upstairs bedroom in the family home in woking, which is here in surrey, on the 10th of august. the court also heard that the cause of her death has yet to be established. the three defendants will remain in custody until the next court appearance, which is at the old bailey in london on tuesday. urfan sharif, beinash batool and faisal malik all arrived back in the uk

from pakistan on wednesday. they have all appeared in court this afternoon, and all have denied the charges of murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. a madrid court has imposed a restraining order on spain's former football federation president. luis rubiales denied accusations of sexual assault after kissing playerjenni hermoso on the lips at the women's world cup final trophy presentation. the incident triggered protests over sexism in spanish sport and wider society. today's court order prevents him from going within 200m of hermoso. 0ur madrid reporter guy hedgecoe is outside the court building and explains how the story has developed.

is still a tremendous amount of controversy surrounding this, it all began within hours of that kiss when spain won the world cup and there seems to be this never—ending series of twists and turns in the story, whether it was mr rubiales few days later, we were told he would resign, then a very defiant speech, then fifa got involved and suspended him provisionally, then his mother staged a brief hunger strike as well. finally, on sunday, mr rubiales did resign, but that is not the end of this crisis. the spanish female football players are still unhappy with the situation, they feel that there has not been enough of a change at the top of spanish football, and they are saying that they don't want to represent their country until there are further changes. so this crisis seems to be dragging on and on.

almost all the players who won the women's world cup with spain have issued a statement in which they demand further changes in the spanish football association. in their statement, they don't clarify whether they would continue with their boycott of playing for the national team. live now to madrid, where i'm joined by nadia tronchoni, editor in chief of el pais deportes. so good to talk to you, thank you forjoining us, give me a sense of how the story is playing out in spain right now, because obviously it is a huge story and it tells a lot to us about the state of sexism within spanish spot, but also within spanish society. it within spanish spot, but also within spanish society-— spanish society. it has been a busy da , spanish society. it has been a busy day. because _ spanish society. it has been a busy day. because we — spanish society. it has been a busy day, because we had _ spanish society. it has been a busy day, because we had luis- spanish society. it has been a busy| day, because we had luis rubiales, he had to speak to the judge for his sexual assault, and we also had a supposed press conference of the new

coach, giving the 23 football players that were going to go to the nations league, but this press conference hasn't been celebrated, because 39 players have informed the federation that they do not want to play for the spanish football team until things change in the federation. they ask for profound and big changes in the federation, in all the structure and the leadership of the federation. they need to say that not only rubiales and people are out, but also who enabled them to be at the top, who put pressure onjenni hermoso because of that kiss, and they need

more changes than have been seen today. so everything has been stopped until they arrive at a commonplace and solve this together, because if not, spain has no champion footballers to play in the team. ~ ., ., champion footballers to play in the team. . ., , team. what are people in spain sa in: team. what are people in spain saying about — team. what are people in spain saying about all _ team. what are people in spain saying about all of _ team. what are people in spain saying about all of this? - team. what are people in spain saying about all of this? what l team. what are people in spain | saying about all of this? what is the talk on the streets, if you like? i the talk on the streets, if you like? ~' the talk on the streets, if you like? ~ ., ., , , like? i think the ma'ority, the big ublic like? i think the ma'ority, the big pubic opinion _ like? i think the ma'ority, the big public opinion is _ like? i think the majority, the big public opinion is with _ like? i think the majority, the big public opinion is with the - like? i think the majority, the bigj public opinion is with the players. 0ne public opinion is with the players. one year ago, public opinion is with the players. 0ne yearago, it public opinion is with the players. one year ago, it was much more difficult for them to have, like, this effect on society, because they already asked for all these changes and were, like, much more, they were not as concrete with the demands as they are now, and we haven't seen a

khalife's escape prompted a four—day manhunt. labour has defended plans to tackle the small boats crisis, after the government accused it of pursuing an "open border policy". sir keir starmer said he'd negotiate a returns agreement with eu countries if his party is elected. the home office minister said such an agreement could see thousands of migrants returned to the uk. you're live with bbc news. turning to the war in ukraine, and britain's ministry of defence says ukraine's attack on a crimean shipyard this week was more severe than russia has admitted. britain says these satellite pictures show one russian ship was "functionally destroyed" and a submarine severely damaged in the ukrainian drone attack on wednesday. but russia's defence ministry says the vessels would be fully repaired and returned to service. let's go to kyiv and speak to our diplomatic correspondent paul adams.

what more do we know about the reaction to this?— reaction to this? well, i mean, there has _ reaction to this? well, i mean, there has been _ reaction to this? well, i mean, there has been an _ reaction to this? well, i mean, there has been an interesting l reaction to this? well, i mean, - there has been an interesting debate about the last couple of days about the extent of the damage, and we have all been looking at satellite images and even some video taken on the ground next to one of those vessels and, you know, it did look pretty bad, the whole areas was charred, there was a huge fireball that we saw raging over that whole dry dock area on wednesday. but here's the first kind of military analysis, if you like, of the damage done, and as you say, of those two vessels, one a large amphibious landing ship, the mod in london saying functionally destroyed, i think that speaks for itself, and an as for the submarine that was right next to it in the dry dock, well,

likely to take many years and cost hundreds of millions of dollars to repair. the mod also says that the dry dock itself, which is an absolutely critical part of the infrastructure in sebastopol for repairing and maintaining the russian black sea fleet is also likely to be out of action for many months. so that is a pretty devastating assessment to put alongside, as you havejust mentioned, that rather more rosy description from the russians. it description from the russians. it looks, doesn't it, like ukraine is stepping up its operations on the occupying forces in crimea. it absolutely is. the thing to remember about crimea is that since 2014, when the russians took it over and annexed it, it has become a fortress, it is home to a large number of russian troops, the black sea fleet, of course, and a number of airbases, and since last year, ukrainians have very much had their eyes on it. it was just about a year

ago that there was a drone attack which destroyed nine, according to the ukrainians, nine russian aircraft. that use of drones has developed into the use of ballistic missiles, which have had, as we have seen, pretty devastating impacts, and that is a direct result of the supply of those munitions by the uk and the increasing sophistication with which the ukrainians are using it. the attack yesterday, which destroyed a sophisticated air defence missile system, that involve the use of drones and missiles, the drones to confuse the system, the missile to destroy the actual launch itself. now, the russians have tried to do exactly the same thing here in kyiv with drones and missiles, but thanks to the air defence is that the west has applied, in particular

the west has applied, in particular the american patriot system, that tactic has not worked. we are seeing it working in crimea, and i think ukrainians are very by that, they know there is a great deal more work for them to do there in terms of knocking out those air defences, hitting those air bases and continuing to damage the black sea fleet, because what they want to try and do is be able to control the waters of the north—western black sea and also, ultimately, to cut off the crucial supply routes through crimea into southern ukraine that russia is using to meet the challenges from ukraine �*s counteroffensive in the south. there is a lot more for them to do, but i think they feel quite confident about their ability to do it. coloured paul, thank you very much indeed, ., ~ ., , coloured paul, thank you very much indeed, ., . ., , ., coloured paul, thank you very much indeed, ., ~ ., , ., ., . indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent— indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent in _ indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent in kyiv, _ indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent in kyiv, more - indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent in kyiv, more on - indeed, pauladams, our diplomatic correspondent in kyiv, more on that story on our website. the steel—making company tata steel is to receive up to £500 million

from the uk government for its port talbot works. it's part of plans to produce greener steel. but unions say up to 3,000 jobs are still at risk. the plant in south wales is britain's biggest steelworks. here's our wales correspondent tomos morgan. tata steel's long term future always seems to be shrouded in uncertainty. with the majority of its workforce here in port talbot, today's looming announcement has been towering over south wales for some time. and just before midday, the business and trade secretary outlined the importance of today's investment. we are saving jobs which would have been lost. without this investment, we would probably have seen the end of steel—making, certainly in this part of the country, possibly in the whole of the uk. it has turned out the media speculation regarding this investment was completely on the money. £500 million will come from the uk government, with tata steel putting in another 750 to make this plant greener, converting the coal blast furnaces into electric arc furnaces. but there is no detail aboutjobs and what it means for those working here, much to the frustration

of unions, steelworkers and the wider steel community and industry here in south wales. disappointed, really, if i'm honest. the big concern for us is the volume going through the plant, and obviously with this lower end package of investment, there is a big worry forjob losses and for the future. according to the government, the uk's emissions as a whole will be reduced by 1.5% due to this intervention, but there is frustration — and a catch, according to the unions. roughly 1,500 workers are on the heavy blast furnace line here, and they estimate just 10% of that number is needed for this greener proposal. working in the coke ovens, matthew is one of those that will almost certainly be impacted by the creation of an electric arc furnace. it is disappointing. obviously, we know there will be an impact, and especially where i am in the coke ovens and the heavy end, we knowjobs will go.

if they give us a timeline, something we can work to, we could get to the point at the end of where we know everyone will get crossposted or vrs, and none of my colleagues will have to go down the route of hard redundancies. as union steelworkers attempted to block the minister's car as she left, there is clearly bitterness today and disillusionment at what the future holds. bbc wales' business correspondent huw thomas has been following the story in port talbot. the workers here know that the plant is secure, and i also know there will be big changes happening over the coming years as well. what we got today was an answer to an awful lot of uncertainty about whether the steel—making that has been here for decades would continue to happen, but this is the biggest polluter in wales behind me, they make tonnes of steel every years,

emitting tonnes of carbon into the atmosphere as well. the whole point of what has been announced is to decarbonise these operations in the uk. the uk government says it will do that with this funding, but the unions and the opposition labour party say it is not enough, what they have done is given £500 million and cut 3000 jobs in the process. we don't yet have details of the jobs and how it will pan out, but the government are talking about safeguarding 5000 of the workforce of 8000, and we know in the next few days the steel bosses and unions are going to meet, and they will be sharing their proposals about how they change the way they operate things here. but we know they are now committing to electric arc furnaces, those big blast furnaces behind me will be coming down. with electric arc, it means that they are essentially recycling, processing scrap metal, rather than producing their own brand—new virgin steel from ore and melting it into lava in those furnaces. so the production method

will change, they know that means fewerjobs on site, and the people who make a living in what they call the heavy end of this plant. there are different knock—ons for associated industries, automotive and packaging, who rely on steel from this plant at the moment. some of the unions argue that electric arc does not provide all the steel, and there will be implications downstream for other processes and plants. but today what we had was an outline of funding, confirmation of what is being put into this plant, and over the coming weeks we will get a better idea of how it will impact workers here in port talbot. the gmb has said it will rip the heart of the local community. what is the feeling you have been getting speaking to people there? there is a real sense of anger, because they know that this announcement comes with a huge number ofjob losses over the long term. but we also know that there had to be a solution to a plant in south wales, which was haemorrhaging money, which was also polluting

the atmosphere, and at a crucial moment in deciding whether the plant survives at all, the government says only with this funding can guarantee the existence of steel—making in this community. certainly a lot of anger, we saw that with the unions protesting on the roundabout behind me as the ministers were trying to leave the announcement here at the plant earlier on today. you know, in the town, the mood is subdued, there is a sense that people want to process what has been announced today, but these questions still, what will it mean, when will the furnaces come down, and what will be new workforce look like who will be able to operate a new furnace here, and when they do not need the big heavy bits of the plant of the site, things like the coking ovens, which will disappear with this transition

into a greener way of making steel in south wales. before we go, i want to show you a dramatic wildlife rescue in brazil. this is the moment police in rio de janeiro swooped in and rescued a puma cub being held illegally. the police say it was due to be sold for more than $4,000 us. after the rescue, the cub was sent to an animal centre in for a health check—up, with the long—term aim being for it to return to the wild. officers are investigating who is responsible, but no arrests have been made yet. stay with us here on bbc news. hello there, good afternoon. some rather stark temperature contrasts across the uk again today. this is market harborough in leicestershire, as captured by one of our weather watchers, warm in that sunshine, lots of blue sky here. further north across northern england, southern scotland,

there is some rain, and it is feeling rather cool, and you can see where that band of rain is quite nicely on the satellite picture, that is very slowly pushing further northwards through today, but it is more or less stationary and we will see that drainpipe up at times. towards the south of that rain band, there is cloud and humid air moving in from the south as we head through today and tomorrow in particular. for the rest of the afternoon, where we have got rain, it is set to continue, so is moving into north—west scotland at times, where it is cooler. temperatures here just 11 or 12 celsius, but look at this, further south across much of england and wales, the low to mid 20s in celsius. as we head through this evening and overnight, the rain band is gradually going to weaken, the rain will fragment and become more showery. watch out for a rumble of thunder moving into the south—west across the channel islands into tomorrow morning. still dry across much of northern scotland with clear spells and a range of temperatures yet again.

into saturday, the rain has mostly petered out, still a few showers towards the north—west of england in particular. further north, across scotland, some sunshine, largely dry, highest temperatures, humid feeling towards the south—east of england and east anglia, temperatures possibly as high as 27 celsius here. but on sunday, we are likely to see heavy, thundery downpours pushed northward and eastwards across much of england, wales and northern ireland. further north, scotland is largely dry, rain moving into the north—west, still humid, but we're all going to be coming into some fresh feeling air into the start of next week. a rain band pushes eastwards throughout the day on monday, behind it feeling cooler, rain for all throughout the day on monday, temperatures starting to drop, fairly humid for a while in the south. here is the outlook for our capital cities as we head through next week, feeling a lot more like autumn.

this is bbc news, the headlines... shelter, food and medical care. the un's humanitarian chief outlines the immediate needs forflood—ravaged libya. at least 11,000 people are dead. somebody�*s have washed up on shore lines more than 100 kilometres away. mahsa amini's continuing impact on iranian society. it's a year ago tomorrow

turned upside down or washed away.
