6:01 am
good morning, a real mix of weather out there today, it is looking hot and humid again down towards the southeast, but we have more cloud and some outbreaks of rain, some quite heavy in the north and west. keep tuned for a full forecast coming up. it's saturday 16 september. our main story: the environment minister, mark spencer, has admitted that it will "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales. rishi sunak pledged to outlaw the breed by the end of the year, but mr spencer says it won't be a simple process. the move comes after a series of attacks, including one in staffordshire this week, in which a 52—year—old man died. simonjones has the details. another attack, another death. ian price was set upon by two dogs believed to be american xl bullies near warsall on thursday. the department for environment, food and rural affairs which oversees
6:02 am
the dangerous dogs act will in the coming days bring together the police, vets and animal groups to discuss the ban, backed by one mother whose daughter was bitten by a suspected xl bully. that is so sad that the man lost his life to the xl bullies. it is devastating that this is actually happening on our streets. i've been trying to get the ban in place since luna's attack. the attack last week was caught on camera in birmingham. the american xl bully has been responsible for a more than a fifth of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the government says stopping people owning, breeding or selling them won't be simple as it is not currently a recognised breed in the uk. what i say to the government is good, get on with it, and the sooner
6:03 am
the better. the rspca and royal kennel club argues ministers should focus on irresponsible owners other than introducing outright bans. a view backed by one breeder. the problem we have is the other end of the lead — not the dog end, it's the human end. how can you condemn an entire breed for the actions of a few? but the government insists decisive action is needed to protect the public. simon jones, bbc news. our reporterjessica lane is in stonnall in staffordshire, where ian price was killed. jessica, good morning — what has been the reaction there? as you can imagine there was a real shock and real sadness here in stonnall, which is quite a small village near wolverhampton, you can see some flowers have been left in there are some messages they're love
6:04 am
to ian's family. this is main street in stonnall where ian price was attacked by the two dogs on thursday. neighbours and friends rush to try and help, and the local village school was shut down for a time, children weren't allowed to leave to make sure they were safe. it is thought that the two dogs that attacked ian price were american xl bullys, but police say they are carrying out further test to make sure. the two dogs have both died, one when it was being restrained and another was given an injection by event. a 30—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter and of having dogs dangerously out of control. of course as we heard varied is not the first dog attack we have talked about, just in the last week, and all of this has led to the prime minister rishi sunak talking about those plans to try and get the american bully xl band. thank you jessica. breaking news
6:05 am
overnight. a 14—year—old boy has died after being stabbed in manchester. it happened in the harpurhey area, a few miles north of the city centre, at around 6:00 yesterday evening. the boy was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. greater manchester police arrested another teenager, a 14—year—old boy, on suspicion of murder. the scene remains cordoned off and the police have imposed a section 60 order, which gives them greater stop—and—search powers. a bbc news team in libya has reached the city of derna and witnessed the terrible impact of the floods that have killed thousands of people. it's now been six days since the disaster hit the port, which is along the coast from the libyan capital tripoli and the city of benghazi, towards the egyptian border. 0ur correspondent anna foster saw the extent of the devastation, and has heard the fears from people in derna over a lack of basic supplies and the likelihood
6:06 am
of disease spreading. even by night, derna's recovery teams don't sleep. as darkness falls, another body is carefully pulled from the ruins, wrapped and taken to a waiting ambulance. it is a scene that has now been repeated thousands of times. i can't describe when you see people's death. maybe when you see one or two, it's... you can hold yourself. but when you see — maybe it's 500 people in one street, there is women, child, old people... this grainy security camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. two dams meant to protect the city were broken apart by the force of the water. the deluge carried everything away with it. this wave of death and destruction sealed the fate of thousands, and glimpses of
6:07 am
the horror are still emerging. here in derna, people began to pray for god's mercy. when the torrent passed, some were able to escape. as the rain continued to fall, they headed to the rooftops, with few understanding the scale of the unfolding catastrophe. down below, the force of the water swept away everything in its wake. those who could sought safety on higher ground. it is things like this that really show you the explosive power of the water that cascaded through this city — things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through these streets. there have been trees ripped from their roots, and you can see now this scar now on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived, and there is nothing left. rescuers are still working here, day and night. and perhaps improbably, almost a week after this disaster, there are still hopes of survival.
6:08 am
"speak to us, so we can find where you are," the team calls out. turkish rescuers wade through the pools of destruction, in search of what remains. the thick mud and dirt coats everything and makes the work slow and dangerous. the risk of disease is growing. translation: our feelings towards the city are very . difficult to describe, to be honest with you. we lost friends, relatives and a big portion of derna's society. people are returning to derna, not to resume their lives but to identify the dead. the bodies keep coming, laid out on city pavements, in the hope they might be claimed. eastern libya has been hideously transformed. we travelled across a shattered landscape — derna's distinctive mosque a lone survivor among the ravaged homes and smashed bridge that once stood here. in al bayda, ahmed al—hawal says life as he knew it has ended.
6:09 am
translation: it came _ from here and completely washed away the valley. it hit the wall and destroyed everything around it. ahmed is one of more than 30,000 people desperate for shelter, food and water. libya's eastern government failed to protect them from this disaster. now, in their greatest hour of need, it is struggling to cope with the aftermath. anna foster, bbc news, derna. port talbot�*s steelworks in wales will receive up to £500 million from the government for green investment — but it could mean that thousands lose theirjobs. coal—powered furnaces at the site, owned by tata steel, will be replaced with an electric one to help reduce emissions. unions say it could cost up to 3000 jobs. the former nurse lucy letby is appealing against her convictions for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill another six at the countess of chester hospital. the 33—year—old was sentenced to a whole—life term last month —

but her legal team has lodged an application for permission to appeal. it comes after it was confirmed the crown prosecution service is seeking a retrial on a six outstanding counts of attempted murder. the comedian russell brand has released a video in which he accuses the media of unfairly targeting him. in the message, published on his youtube channel, he says he's received correspondence from both a newspaper and a tv broadcaster listing "very serious allegations" — which he denies. the family ofjoanna simpson has been told that her killer could be released in early november after serving half his 26—year sentence for manslaughter, despite a high—profile campaign to ensure he stays in prison. robert brown, who wasjoanna's husband, attacked her with a hammer while their children were in the house. tim muffett has the details. forjoanna simpson does make friends and family this ordeal began almost 13 years ago. in october 2010 when
6:11 am
her estranged husband robert brown killed her. he had joanna around the head at least 14 times in the house they once shared in berks, and then buried her body in a grave he had dug weeks earlier. —— berks. brown was found not guilty of murder having admitted to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. butjoanna's family and friends have now been told he will be released in early november, halfway through his sentence. joanna's mother diana parkes and best friend have campaigned hard to block robert brown's police —— release. in march they received the backing of carrie johnson, one of the former prime minister borisjohnson. she was target in 2007 by a taxi driver who was later convicted of rape and a series of sexual assaults. i remember hetty and series of sexual assaults. i remember hetty and diana describing themselves as feeling like sitting ducks, powerless to do anything, and i knew that feeling from my own experience when i found out that

6:14 am
27. this is where we have had the rain, across parts of scotland, northern england and some heavy showers working through the southwest as well. these could be quite torrential over the next few hours as they drift into parts of southern wales. to the north of that we are in the cooler, fresher, clearer conditions across northern scotland so after actually start some sunshine around here. it is cloudy across southern scotland, northern england and northern ireland with patchy outbreaks of rain, breezy conditions here and then heavy showers and thunderstorms working in from the southwest. through the midlands, parts of east anglia and the southeast, we will have just the odd shower popping up through the day but most of us, it is dry and hot and humid again, but towards the north—west, 14 or 15 degrees if you are to the north of the weather front, contrast that with the 27 we are expecting the likes of london in the southeast of england. it will not only be warm but humid, sticky. as we head into the evening hours we

will start to see more heavy showers and thunderstorms again creeping in from the southwest. bumping into that hot and humid air in the south, but temperatures getting down to just a few degrees above freezing evenin just a few degrees above freezing even in some of the towns and cities across scotland. a fresh start to the sunday morning here, even a touch of frost around. contrast that with the warm, humid air we have further south and during sunday these thunderstorms will work their way gradually further north across much of england and wales, it will be hit and miss but if you do catch one it will bring some hail, localised flash flooding as well. still quite hot and humid with temperatures in the mid— 20s, not quite as hot as it will be today in the south whereas further north we are looking at temperatures up to the mid—to high teens. but those heavy showers and thunderstorms will continue to track their way northwards through sunday evening, overnight on the monday, the rain becomes more persistent and heavy. then we will see this weather front sweep its way in, heading into monday, as it meets the other area of showers we have got. we will
6:16 am
merge, pushing eastwards through the course of the day, eventually the heat and humidity gets squeezed away towards the near continent. that will mean a change in the feel of the weather towards monday, breezy conditions coming in from the atlantic, sunshine, heavy showers around and temperatures not quite as warm as they have been. certainly up—to—date on the south and east but expect some rain for the north and west. bill expect some rain for the north and west. �* ~ . , ~ expect some rain for the north and west. �* . . , ~' . ~' west. all change this weekend, thank ou. let's take a look at today's papers. a number of saturday's papers focus on the american bully xl dog, which will be banned following the death of a man in a suspected attack. the daily express describes the victim ian price as a "hero dad". the lead story on the front page of the times says that rishi sunak is planning to phase out petrol and diesel cars on a "strict timeframe", despite pressure from within the conservative party for the government to scale down its plans. the guardian's main story is about calls by health campaigners and charities for a mass campaign to curb "unhealthy living".

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today: the government admits it will "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales, despite a pledge to do so by the end of the year. a bbc news team in eastern libya finds that significant amounts of international aid are yet to arrive, five days after huge flash floods. things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through these streets, there have been trees ripped from their roots, and you can see now the scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived, and there is nothing left. a call for government grants to help shopkeepers deal with shoplifters, amid claims that some business owners now fear for their lives. an emotional andy murray dedicates his latest victory to his late grandma, after he revealed he was missing her funeral to play.

7:02 am
ian price was set upon by two dogs believed to be american xl bullies near walsall on thursday. the department for environment, food and rural affairs, which oversees the dangerous dogs act, will in the coming days bring together the police, veterinary experts, and animal groups to discuss a ban. it is backed by one mother whose daughter was bitten by a suspected xl bully. it is so sad that the man has sadly lost his life to the xl bully. it is devastating that this is actually happening on our streets. i've been trying to get the ban in place since luna's attack. this attack last week was caught on camera in birmingham. the american xl bully has been responsible for more than a fifth of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the government admits stopping people owning, breeding or selling them won't be a simple process, as it is not currently a recognised breed in the uk and will need to be defined.
7:03 am
but the proposed ban has the backing of the labour leader. they should be banned, there has been a clear case for banning them for a long time. so what i say to the government is good, get on with it, and the sooner we can do this the better. the dog control coalition, which includes the rspca and royal kennel club argues ministers should focus on irresponsible owners rather than introducing outright bans, a view backed by one breeder. the problem we have is the other end of the lead. it's not the dog end, it's the human end. how can you condemn an entire breed for the actions of a few? but the government insists decisive action is needed to protect the public. simon jones, bbc news. our reporterjessica lane is in stonnall in staffordshire, where ian price was killed. we know the environment minister was saying it will take a while to ban these dogs, what has the reaction

control. of course this is not the first dog attack we have talked about in the last week. last week in birmingham in 11—year—old girl was attacked and here in walsall on wednesday a ten—year—old was injured by a staffordshire bull terrier. all of this is really fit into those calls by the government, by rishi sunak, to have the breed hand. of course that is not going to be easy, several animal welfare groups including rspca, battersea dogs and cats home saying they don't think banning certain types of breeds is effective, but we have been hearing those promises from the government that within the next week they will start working on defining the american bully xl breed as a first step towards banning them. jessica, for now, step towards banning them. jessica, for now. thank— step towards banning them. jessica, for now, thank you _ step towards banning them. jessica, for now, thank you very _ step towards banning them. jessica, for now, thank you very much. - step towards banning them. jessica, for now, thank you very much. all. for now, thank you very much. all from jessica a little later. now a story that has been developing in the last few hours, naga has the details. yes, a i4—year—old boy has died after being stabbed
7:06 am
in manchester. it happened in the harpurhey area, a few miles north of the city centre, at around six o'clock yesterday evening. the boy was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. greater manchester police arrested another teenager, a i4—year—old boy, on suspicion of murder. the scene remains cordoned off and the police have imposed a section 60 order, which gives them greater stop—and—search powers. a bbc news team in libya has reached the city of derna, and witnessed the impact of the floods that have killed thousands of people. it's been six days since the disaster hit the port, which is along the coast from the libyan capital tripoli and the city of benghazi, towards the egyptian border. our correspondent anna foster saw the extent of the devastation and heard from people in derna about their fears over a lack of basic supplies and the likelihood of disease spreading. even by night, derna's recovery teams don't sleep. as darkness falls, another body is carefully pulled from the ruins, wrapped and taken to a waiting ambulance.
7:07 am
it is a scene that has now been repeated thousands of times. i can't describe when you see people's death. maybe when you see one or two, it's... you can hold yourself. but when you see — maybe it's 500 people in one street, there is women, child, old people... this grainy security camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. two dams meant to protect the city were broken apart by the force of the water. the deluge carried everything away with it. this wave of death and destruction sealed the fate of thousands, and glimpses of the horror are still emerging. here in derna, people began to pray for god's mercy. when the torrent passed, some were able to escape.
7:08 am
as the rain continued to fall, they headed to the rooftops, with few understanding the scale of the unfolding catastrophe. down below, the force of the water swept away everything in its wake. those who could sought safety on higher ground. it is things like this that really show you the explosive power of the water that cascaded through this city — things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through these streets. there have been trees ripped from their roots, and you can see now this scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived, and there is nothing left. rescuers are still working here, day and night. and perhaps improbably, almost a week after this disaster, there are still hopes of survival. "speak to us, so we can find where you are," the team calls out. turkish rescuers wade through the pools of destruction, in search of what remains.
7:09 am
the thick mud and dirt coats everything and makes the work slow and dangerous. the risk of disease is growing. translation: our feelings towards the city is very - difficult to describe, to be honest with you. we lost friends, relatives and a big portion of derna's society. people are returning to derna, not to resume their lives but to identify the dead. the bodies keep coming, laid out on city pavements, in the hope they might be claimed. eastern libya has been hideously transformed. we travelled across a shattered landscape — derna's distinctive mosque alone survivor among the ravaged homes and smashed bridge that once stood here. in al bayda, ahmed al—hawal says life as he knew it has ended. translation: it came _ from here and completely washed away the valley. it hit the wall and destroyed everything around it.

saying the escalation of industrial action is testing the limits of what can be managed safely — and that further planned strikes are likely to have an impact on emergency care, as well as elective procedures. the comedian russell brand has released a video in which he accuses the media of unfairly targeting him. in the message, published on his youtube channel, he says he's received correspondence from both a newspaper and a tv broadcaster listing "very serious allegations" — which he denies. what i seriously refute are these very, very serious criminal allegations. also it is worth mentioning that there are witnesses whose evidence directly contradicts the narratives that these two mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, apparently in what seems to me to be a co—ordinated attack. the family ofjoanna simpson has been told that her killer could be released in early november, after serving half of his 26 year sentence for manslaughter,
7:12 am
despite a high—profile campaign to ensure he stays in prison. robert brown, who was joanna's estranged husband, attacked her with a hammer while their children were in the house. tim muffett has the details. forjoanna simpson's friends and family, this ordeal began almost 13 years ago, in october 2010, when her estranged husband robert brown killed her. he hitjoanna around the head at least 14 times in the house they once shared in berkshire, and then buried her body in a grave he had dug weeks earlier. brown was found not guilty of murder, having admitted to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility, and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. butjoanna's family and friends have now been told he will be released in early november, halfway through his sentence. joanna's mother diana parkes and best friend hetti barkworth—nanton have campaigned hard to block robert brown's release. in march they received the backing of carrie johnson, wife of the former prime
7:13 am
minister borisjohnson. she was target in 2007 byjohn worboys, a taxi driver who was later convicted of rape and a series of sexual assaults. i remember hetti and diana describing themselves as feeling like sitting ducks, powerless to do anything, and i knew that feeling from my own experience when i found out that taxicab rapistjohn worboys was due to be released much earlier than we thought with no explanation as to why. i rememberfeeling really scared. in may hetti and diana met the justice secretary alex chalk. following a law change last year, he now has the power to block the release of a prisoner and refer the case to a parole board if he believes the prisoner poses a serious risk to the public or a threat to national security. how important is it to you that robert brown stays in prison? very. essential. for all of us. he committed a terrible crime — he didn't take a gun to my daughter
7:14 am
with one shot, he actually brutally killed her with a claw hammer, 14 times hitting her on the head. i mean, that is so evil. he is toxic, he is a bully, he just should not be let out of prison. following news of robert brown's potential release in november a ministry ofjustice spokesperson said: joanna's friends and family have repeated their calls for robert brown's release to be blocked. they have said there cannot be anotherjo. tim muffett, bbc news. it is 7:15am. one more story to bring you. one of england's rarest birds of prey, the hen harrier,

measures to try to reduce the weight. —— wait. that includes recruiting new examiners and asking recently retired examiners to come back to work. so it's a frustrating time for learner drivers. our reporter kirk england went to meet one of them, kelsi, who can't get a test untiljanuary. lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side. lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side- she _ lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side. she is _ lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side. she is desperate - lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side. she is desperate to - lesson 84 kelsi. double check that left side. she is desperate to get i left side. she is desperate to get on the road. == left side. she is desperate to get on the road-— on the road. -- eight for. the nearest _ on the road. -- eight for. the nearest centre _ on the road. -- eight for. the nearest centre is _ on the road. -- eight for. the nearest centre is a _ on the road. -- eight for. the nearest centre is a narrow - on the road. -- eight for. the i nearest centre is a narrow way, on the road. -- eight for. the - nearest centre is a narrow way, two hours on a bus to get there. you have to get trains to get places. especially when you have education, couege especially when you have education, college needs on buses that take hours. it is important to be able to drive. , , . . ., drive. the biggest challenge for the 17-year-old — drive. the biggest challenge for the 17-year-old hasn't _ drive. the biggest challenge for the 17-year-old hasn't been _ drive. the biggest challenge for the 17-year-old hasn't been parallel - 17—year—old hasn't been parallel parking or learning how to do an emergency stop. it has been booking a slot for her driving test. she has months to wait. ibe a slot for her driving test. she has months to wait.— months to wait. be aware of the vehicle on _ months to wait. be aware of the vehicle on the _ months to wait. be aware of the vehicle on the road. _ months to wait. be aware of the vehicle on the road. we - months to wait. be aware of the vehicle on the road. we are - months to wait. be aware of the - vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the _ vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the news _ vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the news we _ vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the news we can - vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the news we can get - vehicle on the road. we are booking it soon but the news we can get in i it soon but the news we can get in hisjanuary— it soon but the news we can get in hisjanuary which is it soon but the news we can get in his january which is still far away.

7:29 am
michael redford reports. (cheering) a roaring and raucous manchester — all here for andy murray, a man who loves the big occasion — this was the perfect stage. and in the early moments of his match against switzerland's leandro riedi, murray was enjoying playing main role. an early break saw him countering towards the first set. but like all good storylines, there was a twist in the tale. riedi found his feet, and then soon his shots. commentator: he's hit a hot patch here, hasn't he? - the 21—year—old breaking back and then saving four setpoints before getting one of his own. manchester muted. but not for long. andy murray first played at the davis cup in 2005, when riedi was just three years old.
7:30 am
and murray's experience began to shine through. with a spring in his step, he won the second set. and into a decider. who would blink first? murray showed his frustration, and then found his focus. and as the match ticked past three hours, he got over the finish line. a 33rd singles win in his country's colours, and one that meant more than most. it's my gran's funeral, today, and yeah, i'm sorry to my family that i am not able... sorry. that i'm not able to be there. but yeah, gran, that one is for you. thanks. this was a match that epitomised murray — even in the face of personal grief, his resilience and resolve shone through. michael redford, bbc news. well cameron norrie lost the next singles match to stan wawrinka, and he also played in the deciding doubles, in which the british pair of dan evans and neal skupski came out on top — winning in straight sets to give great britain their second win,

and they're top of the group. next to the rugby world cup and the three—time winners new zealand are up and running after their opening night defeat to france. they were expected to thrash minnows namibia, and they did, running in 11 tries from nine different scorers, with damien mckenzie scoring 26 points in the 71—3 win. one blemish for new zealand, though, was the red card shown to ethan de groot following a review. namibia have yet to win a world cup match in 2a attempts. this afternoon wales will be hopeful of getting their second win and unlike in their opening match, will be strong favourites against portugal. warren gatland will ring the changes this afternoon — 13 in all — with only taulupey faletau and, louis rees—zammit surviving from their narrow win over fiji. and having seen the likes of france given a fright by uruguay, wales won't be taking anything for granted. ireland will be looking to once

again underline their status as the top ranked team in the world as they face a difficult looking tonga side making their bow at this year's tournament. after scoring over 80 points against romania in their opening fixture, ireland head coach andy farrell has named a strong team including captainjohnny sexton, with the irish camp expecting a far sterner test of their credentials by the pacific islanders. a reminder, england are in action tomorrow, buoyant after their defiant win with 14 men against argentina. it's another tough—looking test in nice, they will be up againstjapan who looked dangerous in their opening win over chile. the main team news is that returning billy vunipola only makes the bench, after missing the last two matches through suspension. england's cricketers are full of confidence going into the world cup, after winning the fourth and final one day international against new zealand at lords. this was their last meaningful action before the defence of their world cup

title, and with ben stokes rested, dawid malan set the platform with 127 off 114 balls, as the home side made 311 and the tourists fell way short. it means england win the series 3—1. now in football, a big moment for everton — they have new owners after farhad moshiri sold his 94% stake in the club, to american investment fund 777 partners. the takeover brings to an end the often troubled tenure of moshiri, who first invested in 2016. the sale is expected to be completed by the end of the year, but is subject to premier league, football association and financial conduct authority approval. if it does go through, it'll mean half of the 20 top division clubs in england are american—owned. leicester have gone top of the championship after thrashing southampton 4—1, in another crazy high scoring game at st mary's. the fourth goal typified

the problems saints have got in defence. leicester's stephy mavididi had intercepted the ball near his own box and then it was three on one — they couldn't miss, but where were the defenders in this battle of the recently relegated sides — saints had conceded five last time out, and also ended up with ten men. elsewhere hull got a late equaliser at home to coventry. harry kane scored the 300th club goal of his career as bayern munich, were held to a 2—2 draw at home to bayer leverkusen. kane's header gave bayern an early lead — his fourth bundesliga goal in four games — but they couldn't hold on for the win. luis rubiales, the former head of the spanish football federation, has been banned from going within 200 metres of footballer jenni hermoso by a judge at spain's high court. prosecutors asked for the restraining order as the national court in madrid considered a criminal complaint of sexual assault and coercion. appearing in court for the first

time, mr rubiales denied sexually assaulting hermoso by kissing her on the lips after spain's women's world cup win, but the player has insisted she did not consent to the kiss. a dramatic night in rugby league's super league — as wakefield's defeat at leigh means they are relegated and will be playing in the championship next season. trinity had forced the game into golden—point extra time with a late drop goal, but their fate was sealed as leigh's gareth o'brien scored his second drop goal of the night, in the second period, sending wakefield down. at the other end of the table, st helens and wigan are level on points at the top, with both sides winning again, taking the race for the league leader's shield to the last week of the regular season. defending champions st helens held off a fierce warrington fightback to make it eight wins on the bounce, and stay in contention for top spot — curently held by their bitter rivals wigan on points difference. catalans dragons can also join them on 38 points, if they win at home against leeds today.

the floodlights were on as the last players finished their second rounds at the pga championship at wentworth. sweden's ludvig aaberg, who's become a massive success since turning profesional earlier this year, coninues tojustify his ryder cup place — he was six under for the day and shares the overall lead with compatriot sebastien soederberg. england's tommy fletwood is one shot behind the leaders, after carding a six under 66 — with his round ending in the dark. really weird playing with floodlights. i really weird playing with floodlights.— really weird playing with floodliuhts. . ., , really weird playing with floodliuhts. ., ., , , floodlights. i have only ever played in the dark with _ floodlights. i have only ever played in the dark with fluorescent - floodlights. i have only ever played in the dark with fluorescent bowls. | in the dark with fluorescent bowls. they look like massive fireflies. quite _ they look like massive fireflies. quite useful. not very nice to play with but great fun. the ryder cup is two weeks away, a

massive month for golf. the colder weather and shorter days are coming, but millions of british adults will try to avoid switching on the heating or lights because they're struggling with bills. that's according to a survey by the debt charity stepchange, which spoke to 2,000 uk adults and found that nearly a third of them were in some financial difficulty, and one in five was resorting to rationing heating, electricity or water to keep up with their credit repayments. despite this, more than half were reluctant to contact their lenders to ask for help. dan whitworth is looking into this for bbc radio 4's moneybox. hejoins us now. that number really surprised me. it is much higher than i thought. we know people are struggling with the cost of living crisis but that is a scary figure. cost of living crisis but that is a scary figure-— cost of living crisis but that is a scary figure. and i don't think it is either too _ scary figure. and i don't think it is either too shocking _ scary figure. and i don't think it is either too shocking or- is either too shocking or surprising, it's definitely scary,

7:40 am
started rumbling around her. she started playing catch up with that one payment, they got her into more trouble and in the end she was owing tens of thousands pounds. while she was in a job, she will have was great, and a well—paid job, head teacherjob, but it goes to show debt can affect anybody if you have one or two, maybe even just one turn in your life that don't work out so well. �* , ., , in your life that don't work out so well. �* , .,, ., . ., in your life that don't work out so well. �* , ., . ., ., well. and people are reluctant to talk about it. _ well. and people are reluctant to talk about it, reluctant _ well. and people are reluctant to talk about it, reluctant to - well. and people are reluctant to talk about it, reluctant to go - well. and people are reluctant to talk about it, reluctant to go and | talk about it, reluctant to go and get help, there is still that stigma and that is the point— you need to get help early on. $5 and that is the point- you need to get help early on.— get help early on. as soon as you can. get help early on. as soon as you can- again. _ get help early on. as soon as you can- again. to — get help early on. as soon as you can. again, to talk— get help early on. as soon as you can. again, to talk about - get help early on. as soon as you can. again, to talk about this - get help early on. as soon as you | can. again, to talk about this lady called sarah, when i was speaking to herfor called sarah, when i was speaking to her for the called sarah, when i was speaking to herfor the interview, she said she was terrified and that is a direct quote, terrified about walking —— talking to her mortgage provider after she missed this payment. and thatjust after she missed this payment. and that just gets worse after she missed this payment. and thatjust gets worse and worse with all the other creditors that she has. but again these three key bits of advice that anyone in financial trouble really does need to try and follow. number one, as we discussed, contact your lender straightaway, the earlier and quicker you can do

7:43 am
warm everywhere, we have some rain forecast towards the north and west and some some fresher condition does well across the north of the uk. cool area north, humid towards south, further we have this weather from producing a brace of rain and these heavyset downpours in the southwest, this could be happy and hungry as they put into parts of wales as well. we are in the clear and fresh air across the north of scotland, chile saturday but plenty of sunshine, less breezy than recent days. we have got the cloud and rain still sitting through the central belt across parts of northern ireland, the isle of man as well. here are heavy downpours working across the southwest england into south wales, central and southeast of england and east anglia, hot, humid, just might catch an isolated shower but most places are dry. to the north of the front, temperatures at best only about 13—15, by contrast that with the heat and we are expect further south, 27 celsius for london and the southeast today.
7:44 am
really well above average for this stage of september. we are expecting september to be a particularly warm month. as we have through this evening and tonight for most of us the rain eases for a time, a lot of low cloud, mr murphy, but thunderstorms working to the southwest during the early hours of sunday. it will be mailed on humid once again in the south but a real contrast with that cold air sitting across parts of scotland where it will be quite chilly, a touch of grass force in a few spots. some sunshine to parts of scotland, northern england as well but further south and west while cloud and outbreaks of heavy rain with some thunderstorms mixed in, pushing their way northwards gradually, could be some hail and perhaps localised flash flooding stop still quite humid, coming infrom localised flash flooding stop still quite humid, coming in from the south and southeast, 22 or 23 degrees possible in the tablets, perhaps a touch warmer than today for part of northern ireland in central scotland. these downpours later on sunday will push their way northwards, many of us seeing torrential rain and thunderstorms for a time. head
7:45 am
torrential rain and thunderstorms fora time. head into torrential rain and thunderstorms for a time. head into monday and the frontal system worked in from the west which will eventually clear away the warm, humid air which has been with us, something more fresh moving in from the atlantic and the unsettled picture, a lot of showers on the map through the day on monday, longerspells on the map through the day on monday, longer spells of rain, a bit of sunshine in between and still just holding on those muddy conditions in the far southeast. that there are, fresher air with a mix of sunshine and showers will be the story of the day through much of the story of the day through much of the week ahead, just a hot humid day to come across the south today. if you could pick any of those places to be today, this is about, and you are not being unbiased about which is the best city, weatherwise if you could pick your weather for today where would you be out of those? i today where would you be out of those? ., ., ., , ., , , today where would you be out of those? ., ., ., , , �* those? i would go to probably can't have, those? i would go to probably can't have. because _ those? i would go to probably can't have, because i _ those? i would go to probably can't have, because i am _ those? i would go to probably can't have, because i am quite _ those? i would go to probably can't have, because i am quite a - those? i would go to probably can't have, because i am quite a fan - those? i would go to probably can't have, because i am quite a fan of l have, because i am quite a fan of thunderstorms myself. —— to probably cardiff. i would like to go in spot some thunderstorms myself. typical meteorologist _ some thunderstorms myself. typical

7:47 am
coming up, what's the bbc�*s response to complaints we had recently about its upgrade to the news app? we'll hearfrom its digital director about that and about the corporation's strategy for online, mobile and social. in may of last year, the bbc announced plans to deliver what they called a "digital first" media organisation. as a result, there's been a number of changes to how it distributes its journalism with new outlets and services and changes to some of its existing products. amongst the latter is the refresh of the mobile phone news app, which took place this summer and resulted in a large volume of complaints, including this from long—time user john gott on our programme two weeks ago. well, i was familiar with it and i suppose with new changes there's always going to be a problem. but i don't like the way
7:48 am
that the new app delivers the news. for me, it doesn't work and as a result, it's no longer my first news source. james cox was watching that and got straight in touch with us, writing... susan way—vauthier added... well, we promised you a fortnight ago that we would try and get someone from the bbc to respond to the feedback you've given. so let's discuss that news app upgrade and other matters with naja nielsen, who's the digital directorfor bbc news. thank you so much for coming on newswatch. you'll know there have been lots of complaints
7:49 am
about the new news app and many people are saying it's actually harder to navigate around the app. you used to be able to select what you wanted from tabs along the top. now you have to kind of scroll up and down a lot. why have you made it harder to find the stories people want? so that's an interesting point, because you can still navigate very easily. so if you read a story that is about business, there is a little business tag on it, and if you click on that, then you'll get all your business stories. and that is how most modern mobile apps work. and i hope that the people that are now learning that new navigation, that they will very quickly learn it — maybe after a couple of weeks. it takes time to get used to a slightly new navigation. the way we did it in the past was well working for a little bit of our audiences, but most of our audiences were never using that navigation. so again, we've — this is — this is one of the biggest news apps.
7:50 am
it is the biggest media app in the uk. only apple news is as big an ours. we have got 13 million users every month. it is — it is such an important audience for us and it's very important for us that it works the best it possible can for all 13 million of them. and also for even more than that, because we are ambitious, we want this app to grow to more audiences. can we talk specifically about customisation? so people used to find it very easy to select a palette of topics for their feed, and lots of them are saying they can't do that any more. are you committed to offering that personalisation? it's again — it's again we are going we're moving from what you can call kind of in the past, a lot of digital services, they had these "library—style" where you had to look at long lists and choose from the long lists, whereas more modern products they use the search function. and the truth is, i can admit that is that our search was not
7:51 am
optimal in the old app. over time, we need to tailor and personalise the offer more so that everyone will get the most important stories, and then underneath of the most important stories that everyone will get from the bbc, then we want to tailor the offer a bit more so that people that are more interested in local news would get more of that, whereas people that are more into politics would get more of that. and there could also be some audiences that actually prefer news in video, and maybe they should have the videos surfaced a bit more towards the top. so — so that is how we see it, that that public service means that we give people that everyone gets the most important, but also that we are better at pointing people to the content that is most relevant to them. more generally, we know that the bbc�*s made a big thing about going digital. we've seen a lot of concern about the impact this is having on things like local radio — the world service, in particular — and a fear that its cost driven, really.
7:52 am
do you have any concerns with all the resources being diverted towards digital services that you're going to lose a lot of your current audience who just don't want it? we are determined to keep providing a — a world—class service for television and radio audiences. let there be no doubt about that. we love those audiences, and we know it's a very important part of our public service remit, again, to serve them well. where we have been not good enough, i would say, if i'm honest, is to serve people when they're using digital platforms as well as we could. and this is why we need to — to expand this area. to put it very simply, we want our digital offer to be as good — to have as high—qualityjournalists — journalism — journalism that is led by our best expertjournalists. we're clearly seeing a lot of bbc news content going out through social media platforms now, things like instagram or tiktok or youtube. and those platforms clearly benefit from having the bbc brand and its content on them. but can i ask what evidence you have
7:53 am
that they are really working for winning bbc audiences, and keeping bbc audiences? there is a dilemma here, right? if we just put all of our content on social media, we help them grow their platforms. they are not lead by informing everybody or our editorial principles, they are first and foremost commercial businesses that want to give people what they want and sell as many advertising as possible. so — and also they want to keep people on their platforms, right? so sometimes — we could waste a lot of moneyjust putting content out there. where it really works for us is when we get in contact with people under 25, that are not naturally coming to our television, radio programmes and website, and also, when we help those people under 25 discover our best content for them and then bring them back to our own platforms, and that is why we're there. naja nielsen, thank you. thank you very much for having me.
7:54 am
following hard on the heels this week of the earthquake in morocco, with the death toll in the thousands, came news of an even bigger international disaster — the floods in libya, in which at least 11,000 people have died. news of the latter emerged on tuesday, but by wednesday evening, it was no longer the lead story on bbc one news bulletins. newscaster: tonight at 10pm - sara sharif's father, _ stepmother and uncle are arrested on suspicion of her murder as they [and at gatwick airport. thatjudgement on news priorities caught the attention of grace dalton, who left us this telephone message. you began with a story about sara sharif. now, i — i can't begin to put into words how tragic her story is. however, her story relates to just one individual, whereas many, many thousands of individuals are currently suffering or have died in libya. so why was that considered
7:55 am
a second importance? i want to thank you, though, also for giving considerable coverage to this particular crisis, as well as to that in morocco. please, please do continue to provide plenty of coverage of crises going on around the world. it's really important that we look outwards and not only at things that happen to british people. we put that point to bbc news and a spokesperson told us both stories are important ones.
7:56 am
that earthquake in morocco also raised another objection from a number of viewers. see if you can spot the problem they found with this introduction from fiona bruce on monday's news at six. the 6.8—magnitude earthquake struck about 45 miles south—west of the tourist hub of marrakesh in the atlas mountains. it's thought it's been particularly devastating as the epicentre was relatively shallow — just 11 miles below the surface. amateur and professional seismologists were quick to contact the bbc. amongst them, albert hickson. an arrow showed a point below the surface labelled epicentre. finally, as we touched on earlier, the shift towards digital content together with financial pressures has led to cuts to bbc local radio.
7:57 am
they're resulting in the departure of a number of presenters and the end of some long—running shows. last sunday saw the final edition, after 15 years, of radio norfolk�*s treasure quest. and it began with this statement from presenter sophie little. local radio, as i think we all well know, is a vital public service. and it's my opinion that these drastic, sweeping cuts taking place to bbc local radio all across the country are not only detrimental to everyone that enjoys switching on their local station and hearing their favourite shows, and detrimental to the local communities who value it and use it, but actually, these cuts are unbelievably unfair to those who need local public service broadcasting the most. a bbc spokesperson had this to say...

to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today... the government admits it will "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales — despite a pledge to do so by the end of the year. a bbc news team in eastern libya finds that significant amounts of international aid are yet to arrive, five days after huge flash floods. things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through the streets, trees ripped from their rates and you can see now the scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived and there nothing left. the family ofjoanna simpson — who was killed by her estranged husband — renews an appeal for him to stay injail, as a november release date edges closer. it's a huge day ahead for wales and ireland at the rugby world cup in france with wales first up, and full of confidence that they can beat portugal, given the way they uspet the odds in their opening

8:02 am
ian price was set upon by two dogs believed to be american xl bullies near walsall on thursday. the department for environment, food and rural affairs, which oversees the dangerous dogs act, will, in the coming days bring together the police, veterinary experts and animal welfare groups to discuss a ban. it's backed by one mother whose daughter was bitten by a suspected xl bully. it's so sad that that man has sadly lost his life to the xl bullies. it is... it's just it's really devastating that this is actually happening in our... on our streets. i've been trying to get the ban put in place since luna's attack. this attack last week was caught on camera in birmingham. the american xl bully has been responsible for more than a fifth of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the government admits stopping people owning, breeding or selling them won't be a simple process as it isn't currently a recognised breed in the uk and will need to be defined. but the proposed ban has got the backing of the labour leader.

they should be banned. there's been a clear case for banning them for a long time. so what i say to the government is good, get on with it. and the sooner we can do this, the better. the dog control coalition, which includes the rspca and the royal kennel club, argues that ministers should focus on irresponsible owners rather than introducing outright bans — a view backed by one breeder. the problem that we have is the... the other end of the lead. it's not the dog end. it's the human end. how can you condemn an entire breed for the actions of a few? _ but the government insists decisive action is needed to protect the public. simon jones, bbc news. our reporterjessica lane is in stonull in staffordshire, where ian price was killed. jessica, what has been the reaction there?

overnight- _ a 14—year—old boy has died after being stabbed in manchester. it happened in the harpurhey area, a few miles north of the city centre, at around 6 o'clock yesterday evening. the boy was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. greater manchester police arrested another teenager — a 14—year—old boy — on suspicion of murder. the scene remains cordoned—off and the police have imposed a section 60 order — which gives them greater stop and search powers. a bbc news team in libya has reached the city of derna — and witnessed the impact of the floods that have killed thousands of people. it's been six days since the disaster hit the port — which is along the coast from the libyan capital tripoli and the city of benghazi — towards the egyptian border. our correspondent anna foster saw the extent of the devastation — and heard from people in derna about their fears over a lack of basic supplies and the likelihood of disease spreading. even by night, derna's recovery teams don't sleep. as darkness falls, another body is carefully pulled
8:07 am
from the ruins, wrapped and taken to a waiting ambulance. it is a scene that has now been repeated thousands of times. i can't describe it, when you see people's death. maybe when you see one or two, it is... you can control yourself but when you see, maybe it's 500 people in one street, there is a woman, a child, old people... this grainy security camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. two dams, meant to protect the city, were broken apart by the force of the water. the deluge carried everything away with it. this wave of death and destruction sealed the fate of thousands. and glimpses of the horror are still emerging. here in derna, people began to pray for god's mercy. when the torrent passed,
8:08 am
some were able to escape. as the rain continued to fall, they headed to the rooftops, with few understanding the scale of the unfolding catastrophe. down below, the force of the water swept away everything in its wake. those who could sought safety on higher ground. it is things like this that really show you the explosive power of the water that cascaded through this city. things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through these streets. trees have been ripped from their roots. you can see now this scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived, and there is nothing left. rescuers are still working here, day and night, and perhaps improbably, almost a week after this disaster, there are still hopes of survival. "speak to us, so we can find where you are," the team calls out. turkish rescuers wade through the pools of destruction, in search of what remains.
8:09 am
the thick mud and dirt coat everything, and makes the work slow and dangerous. the risk of disease is growing. translation: our feelings towards the city is very difficult to describe, to be honest with you. we lost friends, relatives, and a big portion of derna's society. people are returning to derna, not to resume their lives, but to identify the dead. the bodies keep coming, laid out on city pavements, in the hope they might be claimed. eastern libya has been hideously transformed. we travelled across a shattered landscape. derna's distinctive mosque a lone survivor among the ravaged homes and smashed bridge that once stood here. in elbeida, ahmed al—hawal says life as he knew it has ended. translation: it came from here, | completely washed away the valley. it hit the wall and destroyed

everything around it. ahmed is one of more than 30,000 people desperate for shelter, food and water. libya's eastern government failed to protect them from this disaster. now, in their greatest hour of need, it is struggling to cope with the aftermath. anna foster, bbc news, derna. port talbot�*s steelworks in wales will receive up to half a billion pounds from the government for green investment — but it could mean that thousands lose theirjobs. coal—powered furnaces at the site — owned by tata steel — will be replaced with an electric one to help reduce emissions. unions say up to 3,000 jobs could be lost. hospital bosses in england say they have safety concerns as bothjunior doctors and consultants prepare to strike on the same day next week. the heads of ten large hospitals have written to the prime minister and the british medical association, saying the escalation of industrial action is testing the limits of what can be managed safely. the comedian russell brand

but easing in the afternoon. central parts of england and east anglia and the south—east, the old isolated shower, a real contrast in temperature, 16 or 15 are best in bristol and the north west and in the south—east highs of 27 degrees, well above what we expect for september. the heat and humidity sticks around through this evening, most of the rain fizzling out, quite a lot of low cloud and mist and mark but heavy showers working on overnight from the south—west so you might start your sunday with a rumble of thunder. mild for most of us, chile across central and northern scotland and there could be a touch of grass frost. tomorrow, not a bad day for parts of scotland and northern england but further south and west heavy downpours of rain, storms pushing their way north through the day. still quite warm and muggy, possibly 23 degrees for some of us, not too bad looking at the mid to high teens further north and moving through sunday evening

8:17 am
a high—profile campaign to keep him behind bars, which included a meeting with the home secretary. —— the previous home secretary dominic raab. tim muffett has the story. forjoanna simpson's friends and family this ordeal began almost 13 years ago, in october 2010, when her estranged husband, robert brown, killed her. he hitjoanna around the head at least 16 times in the house they once shared in berkshire and then buried her body in a grave he had dug weeks earlier. brown was found not guilty of murder, having admitted to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. butjoanna's family and friends have now been told he will be released in early november, halfway through his sentence. joanna's mother, diana parkes, and best friend hetti barkworth—nanton, have campaigned hard to block robert brown's release. in march, they received the backing of carriejohnson, wife of the former prime minister, borisjohnson. she was targeted in 2007 byjohn warboys, a taxi driver who was later convicted of rape
8:18 am
and a series of sexual assaults. i remember hetti and diana describing themselves as feeling like sitting ducks, powerless to do anything. and i knew that feeling from my own experience when i found out that taxi cab rapist john warboys was due to be released much earlier than we thought, with no explanation as to why. i rememberfeeling really scared. in may, hetti and diana met thejustice secretary, alex chalk. following a law change last year, he now has the power to block the release of a prisoner and refer the case to the parole board if he believes the prisoner poses a serious risk to the public or a threat to national security. how important is it to you that robert brown stays in prison? very. essential... for all of us. he committed a terrible crime. he didn't take a gun to my daughter with one shot. he actually brutally killed her with a clawhammer14 times, hitting her on the head.
8:19 am
i mean, that is so evil. he's toxic. he's a bully. he's... just should not be let out of prison. following news of robert brown's potential release in november, a ministry ofjustice spokesperson said, "joanna simpson was brutally killed in a cowardly, senseless attack and needlessly taken from herfamily. joanna's friends and family have repeated their calls for robert brown's release to be blocked. they said there cannot be anotherjo. tim muffett, bbc news. we're joined now byjoanna's friend hetti barkworth—nanton — who is also chair of the domestic abuse charity refuge. good morning and thank you for joining us. a date has been set and

8:29 am
but can include an unlimited fine or six months imprisonment for the owner. of course, there are rules for all dog owners which make them criminally liable for having a dog that is dangerously out of control. that is, if their dog injures, or makes someone fear that they'll be injured in an attack. the campaign group "bully watch" estimates that, of all the dog attacks that have happened so far this year, one in five were by bully xl5. the government faces hurdles before a ban can come into force. first, bully xl5 have to be legally "defined" as a breed, taking into account things like their physical features. once that process is complete, legislation can move towards adding it to the list of banned dogs. the prime minister rishi sunak has explained why he wants to ban the breed. this is another tragic incident and my thoughts are with the victim and their family. the american xl bully

9:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and ben thompson. our headlines today... the government admits it will "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales — despite a pledge to do so by the end of the year. a bbc news team in eastern libya finds that significant amounts of international aid are yet to arrive, five days after huge flash floods. things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through the streets, trees ripped from their roots and you can see now the scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived and there's nothing left. a call for government grants to help shopkeepers deal with shoplifters, amid claims that some business owners now fear for their lives. it's a huge day ahead for wales and ireland
9:01 am
at the rugby world cup in france with wales first up, and full of confidence that they can beat portugal, given the impressive way they silenced their critics in their opening match victory over fiji. a mix of weather types out there today, hot and humid a mix of weather types out there today, hotand humid in a mix of weather types out there today, hot and humid in the south—east, more clout and outbreaks of rain, some of them heavy in the north and the west. we will have a forecast coming up. it's saturday the 16th of september. the environment minister, mark spencer, has admitted that it will "take a while" to ban american xl bully dogs in england and wales. rishi sunak pledged to outlaw the breed by the end of the year but mr spencer says it won't be a simple process. the move comes after a series of attacks, including one in staffordshire this week, in which a 52—year—old man died. simonjones has the details. another attack, another death. ian price was set upon by two dogs believed to be american xl bullies near walsall on thursday.
9:02 am
the department for environment, food and rural affairs, which oversees the dangerous dogs act, will, in the coming days bring together the police, veterinary experts and animal welfare groups to discuss a ban. it's backed by one mother whose daughter was bitten by a suspected xl bully. it's so sad that that man has sadly lost his life to the xl bullies. it is... it's just it's really devastating that this is actually happening in our... on our streets. i've been trying to get the ban put in place since luna's attack. this attack last week was caught on camera in birmingham. the american xl bully has been responsible for more than a fifth of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the government admits stopping people owning, breeding or selling them won't be a simple process as it isn't currently a recognised breed in the uk and will need to be defined. but the proposed ban has got the backing of the labour leader. they should be banned. there's been a clear case for banning them for a long time.
9:03 am
so what i say to the government is good, get on with it. and the sooner we can do this, the better. the dog control coalition, which includes the rspca and the royal kennel club, argues that ministers should focus on irresponsible owners rather than introducing outright bans — a view backed by one breeder. the problem that we have is the... the other end of the lead. it's not the dog end. it's the human end. how can you condemn an entire breed for the actions of a few? _ but the government insists decisive action is needed to protect the public. simon jones, bbc news. our reporterjessica lane is in stonull in staffordshire, where ian price was killed. good morning. what has been the reaction where you are this morning? as you can imagine, rear shock and sadness, _ as you can imagine, rear shock and sadness, we've spoken to some people

9:06 am
within the last few hours. we got this news early this _ within the last few hours. we got this news early this morning. - a ia—year—old boy has died after being stabbed in manchester. it happened in the harpurhey area, a few miles north of the city centre, at around 6 o'clock yesterday evening. the boy was taken to hospital but died from his injuries. greater manchester police arrested another teenager — a ia—year—old boy — on suspicion of murder. the scene remains cordoned—off and the police have imposed a section 60 order — which gives them greater stop and search powers. a bbc news team in libya has reached the city of derna — and witnessed the impact of the floods that have killed thousands of people. it's been six days since the disaster hit the port — which is along the coast from the libyan capital tripoli and the city of benghazi — towards the egyptian border. our correspondent anna foster saw the extent of the devastation — and heard from people in derna about their fears over a lack of basic supplies and the likelihood of disease spreading. even by night, derna's recovery teams don't sleep. as darkness falls, another body is carefully pulled from the ruins, wrapped and taken to a waiting ambulance. it is a scene that has now been repeated thousands of times. i can't describe it, when you see people's death.
9:07 am
maybe when you see one or two, it is... you can control yourself but when you see, maybe it's 500 people in one street, there is a woman, a child, old people... this grainy security camera footage is from the moment when the floods hit and derna was changed forever. two dams, meant to protect the city, were broken apart by the force of the water. the deluge carried everything away with it. this wave of death and destruction sealed the fate of thousands. and glimpses of the horror are still emerging. here in derna, people began to pray for god's mercy. when the torrent passed, some were able to escape. as the rain continued to fall, they headed to the rooftops, with few understanding the scale of the unfolding catastrophe.
9:08 am
down below, the force of the water swept away everything in its wake. those who could sought safety on higher ground. it is things like this that really show you the explosive power of the water that cascaded through this city. things like cars that have been picked up and crushed all through these streets. trees have been ripped from their roots. you can see now this scar on the landscape where buildings once stood, people once lived, and there is nothing left. rescuers are still working here, day and night, and perhaps improbably, almost a week after this disaster, there are still hopes of survival. "speak to us, so we can find where you are," the team calls out. turkish rescuers wade through the pools of destruction, in search of what remains. the thick mud and dirt coat everything, and makes the work slow and dangerous. the risk of disease is growing.
9:09 am
translation: our feelings towards the city is very difficult to describe, to be honest with you. we lost friends, relatives, and a big portion of derna's society. people are returning to derna, not to resume their lives, but to identify the dead. the bodies keep coming, laid out on city pavements, in the hope they might be claimed. eastern libya has been hideously transformed. we travelled across a shattered landscape. derna's distinctive mosque a lone survivor among the ravaged homes and smashed bridge that once stood here. in elbeida, ahmed al—hawal says life as he knew it has ended. translation: it came from here, | completely washed away the valley. it hit the wall and destroyed everything around it. ahmed is one of more than 30,000 people desperate for shelter, food and water. libya's eastern government failed to protect them from this disaster.
9:10 am
now, in their greatest hour of need, it is struggling to cope with the aftermath. anna foster, bbc news, derna. the comedian russell brand has released a video in which he accuses the media of unfairly targeting him. in the message, published on his youtube channel, he says he's received correspondence from both a newspaper and a tv broadcaster listing "very serious allegations" — which he denies. what, i seriously refute - are these very, very serious criminal allegations. also it's worth mentioning - there are witnesses whose evidence l directly contradicts the narratives l that these mainstream media outlets are trying to construct, _ apparently in what seems to me to be a coordinated attack. hospital bosses in england say they have safety concerns as both junior doctors and consultants prepare to strike on the same day next week. the heads of ten large hospitals have written to the prime minister,
9:11 am
and the british medical association, saying the escalation of industrial action is testing the limits of what can be managed safely. the former nurse, lucy letby, is appealing against her convictions for murdering seven babies and attempting to kill another six at the countess of chester hospital. the 33—year—old was sentenced to a whole—life term last month — but her legal team has lodged an application for permission to appeal. it comes after it was confirmed the crown prosecution service is seeking a retrial on six outstanding counts of attempted murder. port talbot�*s steelworks in wales will receive up to half a billion pounds from the government for green investment — but unions say up to 3,000 jobs could be lost when coal—powered furnaces at the site — owned by tata steel — are replaced with an electric one to help reduce emissions. the family ofjoanna simpson has been told that her killer could be released in early november, after serving half of his 26 year sentence for manslaughter, despite a high—profile campaign
9:12 am
to ensure he stays in prison. robert brown, who was joanna's estranged husband, attacked her with a hammer while their children were in the house. tim muffett has the details. forjoanna simpson's friends and family this ordeal began almost 13 years ago, in october 2010, when her estranged husband, robert brown, killed her. he hitjoanna around the head at least ia times in the house they once shared in berkshire and then buried her body in a grave he had dug weeks earlier. brown was found not guilty of murder, having admitted to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was sentenced to 26 years in prison. butjoanna's family and friends have now been told he will be released in early november, halfway through his sentence. joanna's mother, diana parkes, and best friend hetti barkworth—nanton, have campaigned hard to block robert brown's release. in march, they received the backing of carriejohnson, wife of the former prime
9:13 am
minister, borisjohnson. she was targeted in 2007 byjohn warboys, a taxi driver who was later convicted of rape and a series of sexual assaults. i remember hetti and diana describing themselves as feeling like sitting ducks, powerless to do anything. and i knew that feeling from my own experience when i found out that taxi cab rapist john warboys was due to be released much earlier than we thought, with no explanation as to why. i rememberfeeling really scared. in may, hetti and diana met thejustice secretary, alex chalk. following a law change last year, he now has the power to block the release of a prisoner and refer the case to the parole board if he believes the prisoner poses a serious risk to the public or a threat to national security. how important is it to you that robert brown stays in prison? very. essential... for all of us. he committed a terrible crime. he didn't take a gun
9:14 am
to my daughter with one shot. he actually brutally killed her with a clawhammer14 times, hitting her on the head. i mean, that is so evil. he's toxic. he's a bully. he's... just should not be let out of prison. following news of robert brown's potential release in november, a ministry ofjustice spokesperson said, "joanna simpson was brutally killed in a cowardly, senseless attack and needlessly taken from herfamily. joanna's friends and family have repeated their calls for robert brown's release to be blocked. they said there cannot be anotherjo. tim muffett, bbc news. it is 9:15am. one of england's rarest birds

9:36 am
doesn't change the intensity and physicality with play with. that's part of that dna. it doesn't matter who we will play, we will always bring that. ireland will be looking to once again underline their status as the top ranked team in the world, as they face a tonga side making their bow at this year's tournament. after scoring over 80 points against romania in their opening fixture, ireland head coach andy farrell has named a strong team including captainjohnny sexton, with the irish camp expecting a far sterner test of their credentials, against the pacific islanders. you think of where they are coming in from. _ you think of where they are coming in from. the — you think of where they are coming in from, the first game of the world cup, in from, the first game of the world cup. but _ in from, the first game of the world cup. but the — in from, the first game of the world cup, but the players play all over the world. — cup, but the players play all over the world, really and it must be special— the world, really and it must be special for— the world, really and it must be special for them to get their countrymen in a room to gel and bond for a prolonged pre—season. we are lucky— for a prolonged pre—season. we are lucky we _ for a prolonged pre—season. we are lucky we get to do it of the majority— lucky we get to do it of the majority of the time in ireland, but it's a _ majority of the time in ireland, but it's a special— majority of the time in ireland, but it's a special tournament for them and to— it's a special tournament for them and to spend it with their countrymen for a long time, some of

9:38 am
but he was clearly upset, as he dedicated the win to her.. it's my gran's funeral today. and... and yeah, i'm sorry to my family that i'm not... sorry that i'm not able to be there. but, yeah, gran, that one's foryou. you can see the british pair high—fiving after winning in straight sets to give great britain their second win and it means they will be through to the knockout stages in november if switzerland beat australia today, and if that doesn't happen, great britain can book their place by beating france tomorrow. now a big moment for everton. they have new owners after farhad moshiri sold his 94% stake in the club, to american investment fund, 777 partners. the takeover
9:39 am
brings to an end the often—troubled tenure of moshiri who first invested in 2016. the sale is expected to be completed by the end of the year, but is subject to premier league, football association and financial conduct authority approval. if it does go through, it'll mean half of the 20 top—flight clubs in england are american—owned. after the international break, the premier league returns today with seven fixtures. the first of them is at molineux as wolves take on liverpool. ahead of the match, liverpool managerjurgen klopp was asked if he was worried, he'd have to sell mohammed salah to saudi arabia, in the january transfer window — a question which didn't amuse him. have a listen to this. you are kidding me, yeah? a week after we close the transfer window, you ask about the january transfer window? a bid may come injanuary.
9:40 am
obviously, you can't wait until december to ask these questions. we will see what happens. untilthen, i'm not worried in this moment. i didn't even think about it until you opened that wound again. no, i'm not worried. there is your answer. a dramatic night in rugby's super league — as wakefield's defeat at leigh, means they are relegated, and will be playing in the championship next season. trinity had forced the game in to golden point extra time, with a late drop goal, but their fate was sealed, as leigh's gareth o'brien scored his second drop goal of the night, in the second period, sending wakefield down. at the other end of the table, st helens and wigan are level on points at the top, with both sides winning again, taking the race for the league leader's shield to the last week of the regular season. defending champions st helens held off a fierce warrington fightback to make it eight wins on the bounce, and stay in contention for top spot — curently held by their bitter rivals
9:41 am
wigan on points difference. catalans dragons can also join them on 38 points, if they win at home against leeds today. now despite saying it gets harder to motivate himself as he gets older, ronnie 0'sullivan is through to yet another shanghai masters final, after beating mark selby. the seven—time world champion is unbeaten at this event since 2016, and won the last four frames to beat his big rival by 10 frames to seven. he'll face either neil robertson or the current world champion, luca brecel, in the final. it was dramatic dash to the line at the end of stage 19 of the vuelta a espana, with the italian sprinter alberto dainesey, having the most power in his thighs to win it. but sepp kuss keeps the leader's red jersey heading into the final weekend and he's on course to be the first american to win a grand tourfor 10 years. the floodlights were on as the last players finished their second rounds at the pga championship at wentworth.
9:42 am
sweden's ludwig aaberg, who's become a massive success since turning profesional earlier this year, coninues to justify his ryder cup place — he was 6 under for the day and shares the overall lead with compatriot sebastien soederberg. england's tommy fleetwood is one shot behind the leaders, after carding a 6 under 66 — ending in the dark. you can see the course on the shadowy areas under the trees, hence the flood lights coming on. there we go. a huge day of sport ahead. just a fantastic go. a huge day of sport ahead. inst a fantastic weekend of sport. thank you so much. taking your driving test is always a nerve—wracking experience — but for the last couple of years, just booking the test has been difficult. at the moment, the average waiting time in britain is 20 weeks, with the dvsa blaming increased demand, industrialaction, and a change in customer behaviour. 0ur reporter kirk england went to meet one frustrated learner who can't get
9:43 am
a test untiljanuary. lesson eight for kelsey. double check that left side. she's desperate to get on the road. i live in a very rural part. yeah. and it's, you know, the nearest city is an hour away. it's 2 hours on a bus to get there. you get trains to places, and especially when you have like education, college needs that are on buses that take hours, it's very important to be able to drive. but the biggest challenge for this 17 year old hasn't been parallel parking or learning how to do an emergency stop. it's been booking a slot for her driving test. she's got months to wait. you're aware of this vehicle on the right? we're booking it soon, but the nearest i can get in is january, which is still very far away. and it's notjust tests. driving instructor andrew pitt says his lessons are booked up months in advance too. it can be three, four or five months before i actually start to see them. and then when you start to see them,
9:44 am
you're going through the syllabus and helping them to become safe drivers. and you have to think fairly early on about booking a driving test because they're so far away. i'm superfrustrated on behalf of our members driving instructors all over the uk who are having to deal with trying to get the pupils who are test ready through their test and find a test in the first place. i feel frustrated for pupils who are waiting their test to get mobile for employability, college or whatever. and i do feel frustrated on behalf of examiners too, because they're dealing with stress and pressure. and, you know, what we've got to think about here is all of this has exposed a massive weakness in the system, and we need to address that for the future and future proof it so we don't go through this again. well, the dvsa told us that it's taking all the measures it can to reduce driving test waiting times, including recruiting almost 500 new driving examiners. a frustrating wait to just book the test, never mind take it and pass. here's sarah with a look
