specialist divers continue the search for six people missing after a luxury yacht sank in a freak storm off sicily — 15 people survived. these are live pictures from sicily, where divers say their work is being made very difficut by objects blocking their access to the yacht�*s cabins. friends have been paying tribute to canadian—antiguan chef recaldo thomas believed to have died. and coming up, we'll hear from a researcher about how a large number of vapes confiscated from pupils in england have been found to contain traces of the illegal drug �*spice�*. we are alive at edinburgh fringe festival, the worlds largest art principal, and speaking to some of this years performers. now with all the latest sport, here's paul... hello from the bbc sport centre world number one jannik sinner has been cleared of any wrongdoing

after twice testing positive for a banned substance. an independent tribunal has ruled he bears no fault or negligence — and accepts that his samples were contaminated by a hand spray, used by his physio. our correspondent andy swiss is with me. what exactly do we know, andy? it emerged back in march that jannik emerged back in march thatjannik sinner was tested at the tournament at indian wells and tested positive for a substance. the authorities say it was a very low level but it is on the band lists and he tested positive again for it's a few days later. jannik sinner said the reason for this was these physiotherapist had cut his finger and was using a spray to treated, a spray which he bought over the counter at the pharmacy in italy, but unknown to the physio—, this spray contained cluster both, and in the process of

giving messages to jannik sinner, he passed on to jannik sinner�*s skin and him. the international tennis integrity agency investigated this accusation, and is not been given any sort of suspension and he released a statement saying that he will now put this challenging and deeply unfortunate. behind me. i will continue through everything i can to to comply to the anti—doping programme and i have a team around me that are meticulous in their own compliance". it means he loses the points and prize money she picked up during that tournament indian wells, more than $300,000. he during that tournament indian wells, more than $300,000.— during that tournament indian wells, more than $300,000. he has had such a aood more than $300,000. he has had such a good year. _ more than $300,000. he has had such a good year. the — more than $300,000. he has had such a good year, the world _ more than $300,000. he has had such a good year, the world number- more than $300,000. he has had such a good year, the world number one, i a good year, the world number one, the top seed going into the us open starts in on monday, one in cincinnati on monday, how does it affect his preparation going into new york? he affect his preparation going into new york? , affect his preparation going into new york?— affect his preparation going into new york? , , ., new york? he is entirely free to pay at the us open, and _ new york? he is entirely free to pay at the us open, and on _ new york? he is entirely free to pay at the us open, and on the - new york? he is entirely free to pay

0bviously, he is just another brain in the changing room. if he sees something, him and baz can chat about it. it is only positive having him around. one other cricket story to bring you — with less than six weeks until it begins, the upcoming women's t20 world cup has been moved from bangladesh to the united arab emirates. bangladesh's former prime minister sheikh hasina recently resigned and fled to india after weeks of anti—government protests and unrest in the country. the international cricket council says the tournament will now be staged at two venues in the uae — dubai and shar—jah — starting on 3rd of october. that's all the sport for now. returning now to sicily where rescuers are searching for six missing people after a british luxury yacht sank off following a freak storm on monday morning. british tech tycoon mike lynch and morgan stanley bossjonathan bloomer are among the missing. a man's body has been recovered.

the body hasn't been formally identified, but the palermo coastguard have said it was the ship's chef canadian—antiguan recaldo thomas whose friends have been paying tribute to him. the �*bayesian�* yacht is on the sea bed, 50 metres underwater. last night the fire service said divers couldn't access the cabins due to furniture blocking passageways let's speak to david cannell who runs dmc marine, a yacht design firm. he has been involved in superyacht design and construction for 50 years. david, thank you forjoining us. there has been a lots of talk about the mast on this yacht, the second largest yacht mast, it snapped during the storm, could that have been a factor in what happened next? no, i think it is highly unlikely.

hunterjoins us from glasgow. katie, have these figures come as a surprise? let's speak to our reporter katie hunter who's in glasgow. have these figures, as the price? no, back in 2020 there was a record number of drug debts in scotland, with more than 1300 people losing their lives in one year, and the figures fell since then, and there is hope last year there may be a turning point, but as you mentioned, the figures for 2023 were up on last year, and i don't think that came as a huge surprise. but campaigners are saying is that yes, these figures grab the headlines and are in the news, but behind each figure is a person with friends and families and that these drug debts are impacting communities across scotland. to give some more context from a uk point of view, today's report says that in 2022, the rates of drug poisoning death in scotland was more than doubled the rates of other uk countries, and that is similar to the longer trend we have seen in

scotland, with scotland having a higher rate compared to other uk countries for many years. so this is a long—standing and very complex problem. so a long-standing and very complex roblem. , .,, a long-standing and very complex roblem. , .,, ., problem. so when people look at these figures. — problem. so when people look at these figures, they _ problem. so when people look at these figures, they would - problem. so when people look at these figures, they would also i problem. so when people look at l these figures, they would also look to efforts to try to tackle the drugs problem in scotland and ask what is working and what isn't working. what is working and what isn't workinu. . , . what is working and what isn't workin.. ., , ., , . working. that is a difficult question. _ working. that is a difficult question. i _ working. that is a difficult question, i don't - working. that is a difficult question, i don't think - working. that is a difficult - question, i don't think there's an easy answer to that. when you speak to experts about scotland's drug related debts, they often talk about poverty, and today's data revealed people living in the most deprived areas of scotland are more than 15 times as likely to die as people in the least private areas from drug misuse, so that is quite a stark statistic. 0ther statistics from the report showed that opiates and opioids such as heroin and methadone were indicated an 80% of all death, and the majority of people had taken

more than one drug. people might�*ve heard about mitch as ends in the news recently, super—strength synthetic opioids that are causing problems notjust in scotland but across the uk, and the report today showed death from those drugs rose from just one to 23 in the space of months, so let's of different factors contributing to today's figures. factors contributing to today's fi . ures. . factors contributing to today's fiaures. ., ., ~ factors contributing to today's fiaures. . ., ~ , ., factors contributing to today's fiaures. . ., ~ ., figures. katie hunter, thank you for that. parents are being warned to be vigilant as schoolchildren may be unknowingly smoking vapes laced with the street drug �*spice,’ — according to an investigation by the university of bath. the synthetic form of cannabis carries dangerous side effects, and now one teenager has spoken to the bbc about how he became addicted to spice at the age of 1a, after using spiked vapes. he's been sharing his story with our reporter annabel rackham. i was asking for it so much. it's like, ijust feel like a drug addict. i'm literally doing itjust

so i can feel normal. there still wasn't that voice in my head kicking in, like, you shouldn't be doing this. i still, like... you couldn't stop. yeah, i couldn't stop. this 16—year—old who, along with his mother wishes to remain anonymous, is describing what it's like to be addicted to spice, a lab—made drug which is supposed to mimic the effects of cannabis. ifound myself doing it literally every second of the day. were you doing it in class? yeah, i was bringing it to school. like, it was... actually in class, during lessons? yeah, i'd literally put it in my sleeve. i'd like, do that, and then i'd just use it. see, i didn't know that. he became hooked on the drug for more than a year, buying it in liquid form. i was about to throw this bag away, actually. gradually, my grades started going down because obviously in lessons i was just not paying attention. i was just too busy getting high, like, in class, and then i didn't... ijust was using it

to pass the time, kind of. and ijust, i didn't see school as any use to me at that point. like, i didn't care about grades or any of that. ijust cared that i made it out of school. spice, which is responsible for half of all non—natural deaths in prisons, can be more harmful and unpredictable than cannabis, causing dizziness, breathing problems, heart palpitations, and seizures. there have been a number of reported hospitalisations of children after using spice vapes in schools, and police forces like this one in devon and cornwall are trying to find ways to identify use in the local community. so we've got an upgrade for you to the device you've got for detecting spice and thc and some other synthetic drugs. with help from the university of bath, they're upgrading the kit they use to detect drugs in vapes that have been seized locally, particularly from schools in the area. we know almost nothing about

the effects of spice on children. i think that's one of the really concerning things. all of our understanding of what spice does to the human body really comes from people that are in prison or maybe homeless. and when we talk to people that are using spice, they talk about it being the worst drug they've ever used, even outside of heroin. they talk about the withdrawal being really severe. they talk about becoming addicted incredibly quickly. so we have no knowledge about how spice really affects children, particularly in the long term. it's a concern for police, too, who want to get across how much danger children who use spice vapes could be putting themselves in. the children are in a vulnerable position to be exploited, bribed and enticed into that gang culture and kind of forced to do things that they wouldn't normally go ahead and do. as part of chris's work with the university of bath, he found out of nearly 600 confiscated vapes from schools, one in six contained spice.

he tested vapes from a random selection of 38 schools across london, west midlands, greater manchester and south yorkshire. he couldn't stop, and his friends were even telling their mums that it was bad and so their mums would tell me and i really appreciate that, you know, that... yeah, because it takes a lot of support from friends. sorry, i didn't want to get upset, but it really helped. like all, um, all my friends who are helping out. it was a really bad time. luckily for this family, ben, now 16, was able to beat his spice addiction and start a new chapter. then it clicked to me like i didn't need it any more. there wasn't that voice in the back of my head that i was like, oh, you need more. you need to buy another one. i kind ofjust wanted to keep it normal after that.

after those three weeks. and we had a nice christmas, didn't we, last year? yeah. annabel rackham, bbc news. we can now speak live to professor chris pudney, who we saw in that report — he's a researcher who has studied the increase in cases of vapes contaminated with spice. chris, good to have you with us, and we spoke a few weeks ago about your research and how you had discovered the presence of spice in so many of these peeps, and what you said at that point was what needs to happen is much more publicity about the danger that is out there. that publicity is happening, so that's good, isn't it? it’s publicity is happening, so that's good. isn't it?— publicity is happening, so that's good, isn't it? it's fantastic, over the summer— good, isn't it? it's fantastic, over the summer at _ good, isn't it? it's fantastic, over the summer at the _ good, isn't it? it's fantastic, over the summer at the most - good, isn't it? it's fantastic, over. the summer at the most important thing we said was that ben's story is so visceral, isn't it, that sense that you can become addicted unintentionally, and then your life spirals out of control, and that is what addiction is. now our question

is really other people who feel like ben's story resonates with them, maybe they recognise they are addicted and they can seek help. because in a lot of cases you discovered that young people were actually buying babes, they weren't normally buying babes containing spice, but they could happen to contain this very dangerous drug. there is a perfect storm of risk care for young people in schools because beeping is prevalent in schools, we know this, and teenagers experiment with cannabis, is not seen as risky but socially acceptable. so when someone offers you a cannabis vapour or thc vapour, there is a good shot you should try, but all our research shows it is relatively rare to be a cannabis the but a spy sleep, so we think it's a common substitute.— common substitute. obviously education. _ common substitute. obviously education, and _

0ur reporter meghan 0wen is there. i wonder if you're going to get quite as involved as you did during the last act you told us about? honestly, i did not know what to expect in the last magic act, and eats, so hopefully this will be more straightforward, but we have been speaking to performers all across edinburgh, and of course it is a local festival, edinburgh, and of course it is a localfestival, that's edinburgh, and of course it is a local festival, that's a scottish island, but also international performers from 58 countries around the world, and been a real pleasure to speak to some of the acts, and this one even more so because it is related to the bbc. the performance drum is a piece of theatre that is about mike egan, one of the first black british broadcasters at the bbc, and i am pleased to bejoined by the theatre company our dinner theatre, king and just thank you for joining. tell us a bit about the

somerset house in london has announced the beginning of a phased re—opening, following a fire last saturday. the fire was successfully contained to one part of the building , and the venue's art gallery was able to receive visitors the day after. today, artists and other creative start—ups based in somerset house's new wing have started to return. those pictures from last weekend, that fire successfully contained and thankfully no huge damage to that building, the famous historic building. a quick look at our live pictures from off the coast of sicily. sorry, we don't have live pictures of the scene but the latest from the italian coastguard is that they say they will continue without stopping to try to recover the six missing people after that yacht sank in the early hours of yesterday morning, stay with us here on bbc news. hello there.

good evening. some unseasonably wet and windy weather coming up in this forecast. it certainly is going to feel like autumn at times this week, but there will also be some sunshine. lots of blue sky around today, for example, but also some heavy, blustery showers, most of those out towards the north and the west, such as here in the lake district. now, that really sets the scene as we head through the rest of the week, with northwestern areas of the uk bearing the brunt of the worst of the weather, wettest and windiest here. but there will be some sunny spells. it's looking quite changeable at times, and you can just see that tight squeeze on the isobars out towards parts of western scotland earlier on today. strong gusty winds, a cold front going through, introducing fresher feeling conditions for tonight. so the skies will clear, the winds will ease down a little. there'll still be a few showers around, but a largely dry start to the day tomorrow, and certainly a cooler one than we saw earlier on this morning. many of our temperatures could drop back into high single figures. so a mostly dry start to the day on wednesday with some early brightness around, but cloud is thickening from

the west and through the morning, we're going to see rain piling across northern ireland into western scotland. the rainfall totals really starting to rack up here, and that rain will be pushing eastwards across scotland and perhaps as far eastwards as the pennines. some strong, gusty winds, too. and there could be some coastal overtopping, some large waves with high spring tides. but further south it's mostly dry story but just turning a lot cloudier — temperatures below the seasonal average. and it's the same again on thursday, more rain on the way, although this time the rain is a lot further south — some humid feeling air. this system contains the remnants of hurricane ernesto, and that humid air will last longest across parts of east anglia. very windy on thursday across the board, gusts of wind of 40—50 miles an hour, potentially. once again, temperatures in the high teens, the low 20s in celsius. so you can see the tight squeeze on the isobars on thursday. the winds turn a little lighter for most on friday, but still blustery by anyone's standards, and some more heavy downpours of rain as we head through friday. possibly some more rain too,

in the south and the east as we head into friday night and saturday morning. here's the outlook for our capital cities as we head through the rest of the week. do keep an eye on the forecast. at the moment, it looks like an improving picture through the weekend. bye— bye.

today at six — rescuers struggle to reach the cabins of a luxury yacht that sank off the coast of sicily — six people are still missing. the italian coastguard says search operations are complicated by the depth and the position of the hull lying on the seabed — about 50 metres down. 0ne body has been recovered — it's thought to be that of chef recaldo thomas — described by his friends as a well loved, kind human being. iam here i am here in sicily where the second day of the search is drawing to a close as rescuers expect to find more bodies once they get inside the wreckage. also today — a warm reception for the king as he views tributes in southport to the victims of the stabbings three weeks ago. america, i give my best to you! america, i gave my best to you! an emotional defence of his legacy from joe biden to the democratic national convention — as he prepares to pass the torch to kamala harris.
