they are hoping the images will help more people come forward with information about sorrow. they have been charged with her murder since they came back from pakistan last week. a smiling sara sharif, seen here in a picture much more recent than those we had seen before. surrey police have released the image and a school photograph in the hope more people will come forward with information about her and her family. both pictures show her wearing a headscarf, as she usually did in the last few months before her death. the ten—year—old was found dead six weeks ago at her family home in woking. she was found to have what prosecutors called a constellation of injuries which police said were multiple and extensive. her uncle, faisal malik, her father earl urfan sharif and her stepmother beinash batool appeared via video link at the old bailey on tuesday charged with murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. the three left the country

for pakistan the day before sara was sent dead. —— found dead. they flew back last wednesday but without sara's five siblings, who are currently in the care of the pakistani government. they were arrested on friday and face trial next september. detectives say the investigation into the death of sara is very active and they are keen to hear from anyone with any information, no matter how insignificant, which would help piece together a picture of sara's life. they say members of the public have already helped but they would like more people to come forward, and they hope the two new pictures showing sara in a headscarf will help to jog people's memories. daniel sandford, bbc news. shoplifting has increased dramatically during the cost of living crisis. retailers are warning of aggressive and anti?social behaviour, and a lack of police response. the co?op said that its food
5:36 pm
business lost 33 million pounds this year to crimes including shoplifting and fraud. but it's notjust the big retail chains which are feeling the impact 7 small independent firms can be even more vulnerable, as andy gill reports from liverpool. a customer at shared earth gift shop in liverpool earlier this month. he takes an object from the shelf with his right hand and pockets it. moments later, it's the left hand in use. again, he pockets the item. we're losing a significant amount that it is affecting us. and, you know, it is our livelihood. we don't... you know, we need that money because our rents are going up. our rates are going up. cost of stock is going up. so when people take stuff, it really does affect us. people have less disposable income. the disposable income, they have, they're really choosy about what they spend it on. but also people don't... they still want things. they'll take a £15 candle, but they'll buy a £1.50 pack of incense at the till, you know. so they're taking what they want without paying for all of it. and that happens all the time now.
5:37 pm
shared earth is on bold street, home to many of liverpool's independent retailers. across the way at resurrection, they have noticed an increase in shoplifting lately, and today they were putting in a new cctv system to fight back. we had about £1,000 of stock taken just a couple of weeks ago. it's really tough at the moment. we're obviously trying to make a lot of money we're taking you to bordeaux in france where charles and camilla are just finishing their visit to france, they have been spending the day watching, visiting various areas in bordeaux, they've been to a vineyard which is a totally sustainable, they have been to a forest which is an experimental forest which is an experimental forest which is an experimental forest which also studies the effect of climate change on trees, and the
5:38 pm
end as what's been viewed as a very successful visit for the king and queen there, as they say they last goodbyes to the officials and to the military there who are sending them off, they are about to board their plane. that's the airport there in bordeaux at the end of their visits. yesterday got a standing ovation, and a great response to his speech to politicians yesterday. a lot of people complimenting him on his french as well, because most of that speech was delivered in french, and then as i say today, he has been out visiting areas perhaps which focus on issues most dear to their king's heart. issues of sustainability and of course climate change. he visited the forest as i say, but they also visited the mayor of bordeaux and the mayor of bristol where there because the two cities are twinned, bordeaux and bristol have been twinned since 19117. the first uk/
5:39 pm
france twinning of its kind. they observed a recent assignment around them and memorandum celebrating this oldest twin city relationship and working for better cooperation in areas including sustainability and cultural, and growth. they'd then got the tram, travelled on the tram, and they planted a oak tree as well which it was chosen, the tree was chosen because of its adaptability to changing climate conditions. so today's visit has definitely been focusing on nature and the role of climate change at the moment then what can be done to tackle it in this vineyard that they visited in bordeaux, it was fully organic and it was also, produces solar energy and develops carbon capture. we
5:40 pm
looked at images earlier of the meeting the horses who draw the vehicles there, it's also very much environmentally friendly that they have horse—drawn vehicles on the vineyard as well. king charles has been championing such sort of entrepreneurial spirit and these ideas for many many decades now, so i expect you would have enjoyed today. they looked very happy throughout their visit, haven't they? throughout their time in they7 throughout their time in france. so saying their final goodbyes, the weather wasn't very kind earlier, had the umbrellas out, but it's looking a lot better there in bordeaux as they finish their visit to france. had a meeting of course, plenty of meetings with president mccrone and today has been all about sustainability. also it was a little bit about defence as well, they had a reception on the flight deck of the world navy frigate, the hms iron duke, that was intended to highlight the defence ties between france and the united
5:41 pm
kingdom. , also for sports and higher education, they met representatives from the british and french armed forces. commemorative associations and representatives of business interests and guests for organisations, contribute into the bilateral organisations in the city and the region, so it's been a very very busy couple of days for the king and queen, but that now is there visit drawing to a close for what they seemed to very much enjoy, they very much enjoyed their time there. waving goodbye to those on there. waving goodbye to those on the tarmac there and bordeaux airport. as the king and queen depart bordeaux, and finish their state visit to france. another event going on at the moment, we are going to cross now to come alive, is in canada, in ottawa. we are expecting
5:42 pm
a speech by ukraine's president zelensky in a minute. he arrived in canada late last night, greeted by prime minister trudeau at the airport. that's the house of commons there in ottawa there, you can see there in ottawa there, you can see the politicians waiting for zelensky�*s arrival. we saw speaking to the meeting a wily go, before he ended to that chamber and he was thinking canada for its support and canada has given around $1.8 billion of military aid to ukraine over the last year or so, throughout the war, and president zelensky was thinking canada for it, saying you've been with us right from the start, with the phone calls, he was thinking canadians themselves. talking about what a veep beautiful country it was, he's got no time to see it, but
5:43 pm
he said perhaps i'll come back, after victory he said. he was thinking them very much for the help on the battlefield, financial and military and humanitarian help that canada has given ukraine over the last months and he is expected to speak to that parliament in the next few minutes. we will come back to it when it starts but in the meantime let's talk about something really quite fascinating here in the uk. in a uk medicalfirst, doctors have given an eight7year7old girl a kidney transplant 7 without also having to give her drugs to stop her body rejecting it. the girl's mother donated both her kidney and her stem cells 7 that meant her daughter's body accepted the new kidney as her own. here's our medical editor fergus walsh. aditi's health has been transformed by a double transplant, thanks to her mum and a team at great 0rmond street hospital in london. she has an extremely rare genetic condition which weakened her immune system and meant her kidneys were failing. so doctors took an unusual approach.
5:44 pm
first, aditi had a bone marrow transplant, using stem cells from her mum. this rebuilt aditi's immune system. the six months later, she had a kidney transplant, again donated by her mother, and her immune system accepted the organ as her own. her immune deficiency had to be corrected by having mum's bone marrow first, and because aditi was able to engraft and accept her mum's bone marrow, that therefore meant that her body could then see her mum's kidney, when it was transplanted, as being part of her. within weeks of the transplant, aditi was taken off immunosuppression, which means she doesn't risk the long—term side effects of these powerful drugs, which usually have to be taken daily to prevent organ rejection. the family is delighted.
5:45 pm
ifeel so happy, actually, yes. i've given the blood cells and the kidney. so happy. yes, of course. i feel perfectly 0k, yes. i'm so proud of her. and she is amazing. she's doing very fine each and every day. and most of the support, i would say, is from her side. because if she was someone who was bogged down by the procedures, or what she listens to on the ward, it could have been much more difficult for us. 0n the other hand, she was the one who was actually more outgoing. aditi is back at school and both her immune system and transplanted kidney are working normally. the procedure is unlikely to be widely used, as the double transplant carries increased risks to the patient.
5:46 pm
superman, batman and wonder woman are heading for the uk. warner bros discovery has announced a major expansion of its film studios just outside london. it's a big boost for movie production in britain. 0ur reporter nicky schiller is in the newsroom with more. barbie, starring margot robbie and ryan gosling, was the big summer hit at the cinemas, but much of it was actually made here at warner brothers leavesden studio just outside london. now, this announcement means that the site will be expanded by more than 50%. it will mean the number of stages that can be used for filming movies will go from 19 up to 29. it will actually become the main production hub for dc comics movies. we are talking the likes of superman, wonder woman and of course batman. now, building work on the complex, which is also home to the harry potter movies and indeed the studio tour, is set to begin next summer. it's hoped that it will be finished by 2027. now, the investment is a major boost for uk film production. indeed, warner brothers says that its value of production will go up 200 million and will end up
5:47 pm
at £600 million a year. indeed, they also say that 4,000 direct or indirectjobs will be created by this announcement. now, the move by warner brothers has been welcomed by the british government. indeed, jeremy hunt on a visit to los angeles said that it was a huge vote of confidence in the uk, adding that british—made entertainment will continue to delight and entertain global audiences. the announcement does, however, come at the same time as that combined writers and actors strike in hollywood. that has hit warner brothers production hard. a number of their projects have had to be delayed. this weekend, a capsule is expected to fall from space and land in the american state of utah.
5:48 pm
it contains rocks and dust from an asteroid, which could give important clues about the formation of our planet 7 more than four billion years ago. 0ur science editor, rebecca morelle, has the details. asteroid bennu, a 500m wide rock hurtling through space. with its boulder—strewn terrain, it tops nasa's list of space rocks that pose a danger to our planet. but it could also shed light on our very beginnings. so nasa decided to get up close and personal with it. after a two—year journey captured on camera, this was the moment the 0siris—rex spacecraft collected a sample in a smash—and—grab that lasted just five seconds. these bits of bennu were safely stowed in a capsule, and now they're heading back to earth. we're looking at material that existed before our planet did, before the origin of life. in fact, some of it may have been from even before the solar system formed. so we're looking at the beginning of our story. how did our solar system form, how did asteroids come together?
5:49 pm
and did asteroids like bennu literally make the earth a habitable world7 for the landing site, they've chosen a vast wilderness. after travelling for billions of miles through space, the capsule is going to land somewhere over here in the utah desert. scientists think there's about 250 grams of rock and dust inside. it doesn't sound like much. just a handful or so. but every single grain of this is precious. and scientists will study it to reveal the story of our solar system. the return won't be easy. the capsule will speed through the earth's atmosphere at more than 27,000 mph, experiencing temperatures of 3,000 degrees, before descending down to the ground slowed by parachutes. beeping. the nasa team has been practising in the desert,
5:50 pm
working out the best way to recover the craft after it comes down. the most important thing is to keep the extraterrestrial material inside free from contamination. of course, we study meteorites here on earth and there's a lot we can learn from those meteorites. but they have gone through earth's atmosphere and potentially had some contamination from earth. so that's why we need a pristine sample from an asteroid. bennu's already thrown up some surprises — it's not a solid rock, it's a loosely held—together pile of rubble. and some surprising people have also been involved in the mission along the way. sir brian may helped the team to choose the best place to take a sample, by making stereoscopic 3d images of bennu. i think originally 30 different sites were selected as possibilities, but some were rejected because the boulders were too big, some were rejected because it was actually too small to navigate into. some because the materials you were going to get weren't
5:51 pm
going to be nice enough. interesting enough! and the material that we were able to supply, i think, just enabled them to tip the balance to actually make those final decisions. all eyes are now on this patch of utah desert, ready for the landing. the hope is this mission could answer that most profound question — where did we come from? rebecca morrelle, bbc news, utah. well a pair of rare twin red pandas have been born at longleat safari park, an important part of the breeding programme for what is an endangered species. the male cubs arrived at the end ofjune but longleat has just released detail about them, after they were closely monitored in their early days. the bbc�*s wiltshire reporter will glennon has been to see them. peeping out from the safety of their nest box, the cute faces of the male red panda twins. born at the end ofjune, they had been kept hidden by their mother who is called emma.
5:52 pm
longleat took these pictures when they had to check up on the cubs and weigh them. everyone is really pleased with how they are doing. i am absolutely thrilled that we have baby red pandas at longleat, it is such an exciting thing. i love being a zookeeper but baby animals make it even better. the next thing is weaning, they are going to start learning all about bamboo and what to eat, so they are just kind of reaching almost that kind of playful toddler stage so it is a really special time to work with them. sam has been caring for red pandas at longleat for nearly ten years now, and while mum and dad are happy and confident, is almost time for the youngsters to emerge, too. the babies are just 12 weeks old and they are about to start venturing out and about so soon we will begin to see them with mum and dad out here exploring the new world. red pandas come from the himalayan mountains, places like nepal and india. these ones are part of an important
5:53 pm
european breeding programme designed to safeguard the population, and in years to come, some will be reintroduced to the wild. it is absolutely incredible to have red panda cubs here at longleat, they are an endangered species act. there are less of these animals, about 2,500 in the wild, so a species which is really in trouble out in their native countries, so to play a part in the overall conservation of these animals is just incredible. the red panda cubs have not yet been named but they have been described as special, hopefully playing a major role in the survival of this species. will glennon, bbc points west, longleat. no i'm just going to show you somebody cam footage from a police officer being swarmed by some bees while making an arrest. film
5:54 pm
officer being swarmed by some bees while making an arrest.— while making an arrest. oh i'm caettin while making an arrest. oh i'm getting stung. _ while making an arrest. oh i'm getting stung, dude, _ while making an arrest. oh i'm getting stung, dude, turn - while making an arrest. oh i'm i getting stung, dude, turn around! police officers were responding to a call about a potential carjacking and pushed the suspect into these bushes, but in so doing they apparently disturbed a bee's nest nearby, and they were surrounded by the insects as they made the arrest. the suspect who was stung along with the officers received medical attention before he was booked, in king countyjail. very much a sting operation. i was trying not to say that but i couldn't help myself. let's go back to marseille and the pope actually, he is starting his two dayjourney pope actually, he is starting his two day journey there.
5:55 pm
a two day visit taking place there in marseille. thanks for watching, bye—bye. hello. the weather has felt decidedly cool today. we've had some pretty heavy showers out there, some sunny spells, too. but as those showers fade to leave largely clear skies overnight, it is going to turn really quite chilly. then through the weekend, temperatures will rise as some outbreaks of rain and some strong winds arrive, particularly towards the northwest of the uk. the reason for all of that, this swirl of cloud, this was a hurricane, hurricane nigel, not a hurricane any more. but it is going to bring an injection of moisture into this deep area of low pressure that will swell to the north west of us throwing outbreaks of rain and strong winds into northern and western parts, but also bringing us a southerly wind, drawing up some warmer air from the south. but in the short term, still,
5:56 pm
this north or north westerly winds, a rather cool feel to proceedings. a few showers around overnight, but most places will be dry with clear skies, a few mist and fog patches around even in some of the big towns and cities will see temperatures of four to eight degrees out in the countryside in northern scotland i think quite easilyjust below freezing tomorrow. then some good spells of sunshine to start off that sunshine turning increasingly hazy from the west and then some thicker cloud rolling into south west england, wales and northern ireland with a little bit of rain late in the day. the winds starting to strengthen as well. those winds starting to come up from the south, but still actually quite a cool feeling day 12—18 degrees for most of us through saturday evening and overnight. it's this wriggling weather front really sets in across northern and western parts. some outbreaks of heavy rain just pulsing along that frontal system. so on sunday, expect some really intense downpours for parts of wales, north west england, northern ireland and most especially the western side of scotland.
5:57 pm
a bit of rain into the south west of england later in the day, further south and east, some sunshine and some warmth, temperatures into the low 20s celsius, but the winds really will be picking up. we'll see some very gusty conditions for coastal hills in the west, gusts of 50 to possibly 60 miles per hour. and through sunday night, more very heavy rain, perhaps most especially across the western side of scotland. there could be enough rain here to cause some localised flooding and some travel disruption. and then into next week it looks very autumnal showers or longer very autumnal, showers or longer spells of rain, some brisk winds, the best chance of any lengthy dry spells down towards the south.
5:58 pm
5:59 pm

6:00 pm
coming up on bbc news... wales and ireland take on southern hemisphere heavyweights, as the rugby world cup weekend brings a host of pivotal group matches. good evening. we start tonight in ukraine. as the war there grinds on, today has seen a surge in attacks carried out by ukraine. the russian navy headquarters in crimea was hit by a ukrainian missile, supplied by the west. it's the latest of several attacks ukraine has carried on crimea this month — as they try to step up the four month long counter offensive. the crimean peninsula was annexed from ukraine by russia in 2014. ukraine has accused russia of attacking power infrastructure in what they called "energy terror" as winter nears. 0ur senior international correspondent 0rla guerin
