on day three of the democratic national convention, kamala harris�*s running mate, coach walz will be headlining, with bill clinton and nancy pelosi also due to address delegates. the obamas mightjust be a tough act to follow. we'll have a live preview of today's events. as more bodies are recovered from the luxury yacht which sank off sicily, we'll focus on the design of the bayesian, with its 72—metre aluminium mast and get the thoughts of a professor of marine engineering. and india's prime minister, narendra modi is in poland, en route to ukraine. just a month ago, mr modi was publicly hugging vladimir putin. we'll cross live to kyiv for insight into how he'll be received. we start in the us, where kamala harris�*s running mate tim walz has top billing, on day three of the democratic national convention in chicago. also in tonight's line—up, former president bill clinton and former house

speaker nancy pelosi. the party's biggest starts, barack and michelle obama received an ecstatic reception at the dnc — both delivering resounding endorsements of kamala harris�* campaign for the white house. in back—to—back speeches, the pair also poured scorn on donald trump — characterising his presidency as "bluster and chaos. " our north america editor sarah smith was watching. two genuine political celebrities electrified the convention stage. the most popular democrat in america, who also brought along her husband. a long—standing friend of kamala harris, michelle obama says the party needs to be ready for racist and misogynistic attacks. so if they lie about her, and they will, we've got to do something. if we see a bad poll, and we will, we got to put down that phone and do something. if we start feeling tired, if we start feeling that dread creeping back in, we've got to pick ourselves up, throw water on our face, and what?

crowd: do something. thank you. former president barack obama used his speech to mock donald trump, saying he just whines about his own problems and deals injuvenile insults. there's the childish nicknames, the crazy conspiracy theories, this weird obsession with crowd sizes. laughter. we do not need four more years of bluster and bumbling and chaos. we have seen that movie before, and we all know that the sequel is usually worse. barack obama won an election with a message of hope and change, and kamala harris is running a campaign with similarjoyful vibes, which is working this week. this race is going to get a lot tougher before polling day. beaming in from a rally 80 miles away, kamala harris pulled off

the neat trick of campaigning in two places at once. good evening, milwaukee. appearing in exactly the same arena that donald trump used for his convention last month. just in case anyone does care about comparing crowd sizes. this is a people powered campaign. and together, we will chart a new way forward. democrats are putting the party into politics this week, including a pop—up from rapper lil jon. but they can't get carried away. this race is still neck and neck with no guarantee they will win. let's go straight to chicago — our chief presenter caitriona perry is following all the action at the dnc. it is safe to say a pretty electrifying night last night, the

speeches by none other than michelle and barack obama, what is on day three? it and barack obama, what is on day three? . . three? it was the night of democratic _ three? it was the night of democratic royalty, very l three? it was the night of. democratic royalty, very loud three? it was the night of - democratic royalty, very loud and energised and enthusiastic. a peek of what is happening tonight is a subject of a religion sheila e, warming up to do a tribute to prince, and that will kick what is the lead up to the governor of minnesota tim was coming on stage to formally accept the nomination as the democratic party pick for vice president. his running mate the current vice president kamala harris now at the top of the ticket. i'm joined here to discuss a bit more by what might lie ahead tonight by my... thank you forjoining us.

five bodies in the wreck of the luxury yacht that sank on monday during a freak storm off the coast of sicily in diverse has six missing people and entrepreneur mike lynch, jonathan, the international the identities of the bodies have not yet been revealed. mark reports in sicily. in this awful story, another criminally inevitable chapter, the first of five more bodies found today from the area taken ashore.

not yet confirmed identities it takes to five the numbers of those who died as the yachts sank. searching since first light by remote controlled vehicles that could be on sea bed for several hours and far longer than the ten minutes each dive team is allowed at that depth. they have been trying since monday. they've been trying since monday to get into the bayesian, lying on its side deep underwater. the rescuers had struggled to get into the cabins, where it's thought the missing passengers had been sleeping when the yacht was consumed by a waterspout — a mini tornado that capsized it within minutes. but the questions are still mounting, especially for the experts. reno casilli is one of sicily�*s top ship surveyors, casting off in his own yacht, about a third of the size of the bayesian. he's been out on these waters for 30 years and says for a super yacht to have sunk within minutes, there must have been serious mistakes.

translation: for that amount of water to have flooded in, - it couldn't have been one single error. it must have been many. perhaps a large compartment was left open for a long time. we had a weather warning beforehand, so there should have been two crew taking turns on overnight watch, and it should have been moored in the harbour. and what of the extreme weather? he says it still shouldn't have caused such damage. i've been in a waterspout myself, while in a much smaller, older wooden boat, and we got through it fine, and i saw other boats next to me at the time whose mast weren't damaged by it. you need to be on alert, but it passes quickly. ijust don't understand it. well, we've reached the spot where the bayesian went down. you can see there the ship of the italian police, and just behind them, the divers who are trying to get down 50 metres underwater to the sea bed in search of what still evades them — the missing passengers and answers. and so, it's taking time,

but the emergency teams are finally making progress, and the horrors from the dark depths are gradually coming to light. mark lowen, bbc news, porticello, sicily. let's focus now on the yacht�*s design. the vessel had one of the world's tallest aluminium masts, measuring 72 metres. we can speak tojohn carlton, professor of marine engineering at city university london: welcome. thank you for being with us and i'm sure that cctv footage appearing to show the yachts said sizing, vanishing me remarkably quickly. some people say 60 seconds. that seems almost remarkable for a luxury vessel like this. what did you make of it?— luxury vessel like this. what did you make of it? well, i agree, it is a very rapid _ you make of it? well, i agree, it is a very rapid failure. _ you make of it? well, i agree, it is a very rapid failure. what - you make of it? well, i agree, it is a very rapid failure. what we - you make of it? well, i agree, it is a very rapid failure. what we are i a very rapid failure. what we are really seeing here, i think,

a very rapid failure. what we are really seeing here, ithink, is a very rapid failure. what we are really seeing here, i think, is the situation where we have got a water spout, which is a... which means that there is flow around the... centre of the waterspout. and if that comes in closely to the mast situation, then you will find that it will excite vibration of the mast. now, idon't it will excite vibration of the mast. now, i don't know as yet the details of the mast, what it is made of and what have you, but when it... a vortex interacts very much with the structure, you will set up a

whole series of natural frequencies at different frequencies. now, it could be, i mean, reports are saying it could well be that either we have a low cycle... situation we were looking at, or we might have had a mechanical overload.— looking at, or we might have had a mechanical overload. something else i wanted to ask _ mechanical overload. something else i wanted to ask you _ mechanical overload. something else i wanted to ask you about _ mechanical overload. something else i wanted to ask you about along - mechanical overload. something else i wanted to ask you about along with | i wanted to ask you about along with the mast is also the keel. that kind of backbone of the vessel. what role does that play in terms of stability on a boat? ibtl does that play in terms of stability on a boat? �* . does that play in terms of stability on a boat? �* , ., does that play in terms of stability onaboat? , , on a boat? btl tends to stabilise -- the keel tends _ on a boat? btl tends to stabilise -- the keel tends to _ on a boat? btl tends to stabilise -- the keel tends to stabilise _ on a boat? btl tends to stabilise -- the keel tends to stabilise the - the keel tends to stabilise the ship. it obviously has a drag and i believe the ship had a retractable keel

believe the ship had a retractable keel. which means that when we were looking in light at this, we would find that we perhaps didn't need as much lateral surface of the keel to control the transfer load of the ship. so that is really in answer to your question, btl is controlling lateral motion —— btl is controlling lateral motion —— btl is controlling lateral motion. but dinghy sailors will very rapidly no that in certain headings of the wind, you don't particularly want your keel bear because it is going to slither your drag. mil because it is going to slither your drau. �* . ~ because it is going to slither your drau. �* . because it is going to slither your dra. �* ., ., drag. all right, thank you for shafinu drag. all right, thank you for sharing your _ drag. all right, thank you for sharing your expertise - drag. all right, thank you for sharing your expertise with l drag. all right, thank you for l sharing your expertise with us. to the middle east, where the palestinian movement fatah is accusing israel of trying to start a regional war, after it killed a senior

officialfrom the group. khalil al—maqdah died in an israeli drone strike on a car, on the outskirts of the lebanese port of sidon. the israeli defence forces claim al—maqdah, a commander in fatah's armed wing, worked for iran's revolutionary guards and smuggled weapons and funds into the occupied west bank. it's the first such strike on a fatah member since the start of the gaza war. here's israeli government spokesperson, david mencer. the idf this morning released a precise breakdown of exactly who this man was, working in partnership with the iranians' islamic revolutionary guard, trying to push deadly arms into thejudea and samaria, working with hezbollah. we've produced a comprehensive list of we successfully targeted him.

we can speak to an expert in middle east security studies. welcome. i would like to just begin by getting your assessment about what this killing of a commander could mean, particularly at a time when all attention had been focused on ceasefire. . ~ attention had been focused on ceasefire. . ,, , ., ., ceasefire. thank you for inviting me. ceasefire. thank you for inviting me- several _ ceasefire. thank you for inviting me. severalthings, _ ceasefire. thank you for inviting me. severalthings, let's- ceasefire. thank you for inviting me. severalthings, let's call. ceasefire. thank you for inviting me. severalthings, let's call a| me. severalthings, let's calla spade a spade. this killing took place in lebanon, one that the israelis have admitted was them. you have reported their admission in this regard but also describing activities carried out in the west bank as terrorist activities in judaea. i have no idea what this man had actually done and unfortunately we cannot take what the israeli

defence forces says at face value because unfortunately multiple times over the last ten months they have proven not to say the truth. but also, keep in mind, it is notjudaea and samaria, it is the occupied west bank. that is what it is recognised as by the united nation's, by our own government in the united kingdom. the framing of this i think is very important. while these negations are going on, we also see israeli negotiators themselves come out and link to the press that netanyahu himself has actually sabotaged these negotiations. we just saw over the last couple of days as well at the suggestion that any bridging proposal will have to accept that the israelis have artillery and tanks and so on in the corridor. ie the border with egypt. the bedrock of regional security.

none of this is good news for to regional security i have to say. on that point, briefly, if you don't mind. do you think that means there is the potential for escalation? mind. do you think that means there is the potentialfor escalation? how dangerous is this moment? i will dangerous is this moment? i will re eat dangerous is this moment? i will repeat what _ dangerous is this moment? i will repeat what the _ dangerous is this moment? i will repeat what the israelis - dangerous is this moment? in ii repeat what the israelis themselves have been saying privately. but have leaked to the press. the effort to sabotage these negotiations is incredibly risky and risks regional escalation of an incredibly dangerous type. we have rarely seen tens of thousands of civilians die at the hands of the idf in this war. i'm afraid we could see much worse take place, not only in gaza, but also on the northern front, with the lebanese and has bowler. for the north of israel, why do escalation with iran. the key to the escalation has been gaza, since they won, continues to be gaza, and i'm afraid

it is down to isabel's partners outside of the region to really enforce the negotiation table and insist that we are that further catastrophe. the region has been through enough. haifa catastrophe. the region has been through enough.— catastrophe. the region has been through enough. how do you think washington _ through enough. how do you think washington will _ through enough. how do you think washington will react _ through enough. how do you think washington will react to _ through enough. how do you think washington will react to this? - washington will react to this? unfortunately, washington has been quite predictable in the last ten months. despite the fact that tens of thousands of civilians have been killed and regional escalation is increasingly a risk. washington has refused to use the leverage it has over the israelis and the security council in terms of the arms and financial support. council in terms of the arms and financialsupport. he council in terms of the arms and financial support. he has got to change that approach.- financial support. he has got to change that approach. thank you very much for being _ change that approach. thank you very much for being with _ change that approach. thank you very much for being with us. _ change that approach. thank you very much for being with us. we _ much for being with us. we appreciate your assessment. you are watching bbc news. stay with us if you can after a short break.

there will be some good spells of sunshine between the systems. it has been dry further south if you are close to this area of pressure. there is a lot of moisture trapped in the system, heavy system rain continuing across scotland, particularly western scotland and parts of northern ireland, western england and wales. a blustery night to come for all dryer in the south—east so here's the pressure chart for thursday. you can see lots of isobars on the charts, particularly ahead of this weather front. so a very windy start to the day, particularly england and wales. that band of rain will be spreading across england and wales through the day, but weakening and fragmenting as it does so. so barely more than a cloud with a few showers across the southeast, where it'll hang around. but most of the country through thursday afternoon will be bright, lots of sunshine,

a few blustery showers in scotland, northern ireland temperatures high, teens low, 20s from north to south across the country. so it's a dry start to thursday night, but then this next area of low pressure moves in off the atlantic to bring another swathe of gales and heavy rain, particularly windy across england and wales, not so much across scotland. here it will be quite cool, outbreaks of rain, but warm and muggy further south. so the picture for friday starts off very windy, with perhaps disruptive gales across england and wales. heavy rain, that will sweep out through the day into the north sea, and then it brightens up again for friday afternoon. a lot of sunshine around. a few blustery showers in the north and the west. and it will be blustery even as we head into the afternoon, though not as windy as what friday morning will be. temperature—wise, could be up to around 23 celsius in the southeast. otherwise it's the high teens further north. so that's the working week done, as we head into the weekend, it's a bank holiday weekend for most of us. we could see some heavy rain across the southeast on saturday with that feature into sunday. ridge of high pressure will settle things down in the south,

but these weather fronts always bringing showers in the north and as we head into monday, could see another system start to push into northern and western areas. so, yes, an unsettled weekend to come, particularly across northern and western areas throughout the weekend. greatest chance of seeing some sunshine later on in the south.

he says it still shouldn't have caused such damage. doing hello. you are watching the

context on bbc news. barack and michelle obama attacked donald trump at the democratic national convention for their rhetoric being a hard act to follow. time for some sport now and a full round—up from the bbc sport centre. we are going to start with cricket because england will resume day two with sri lanka at old trafford and trailing by 214 runs. england made a strong start and they took five wickets england made a strong start under stand—in captain ollie pope when they took 5 wickets before lunch — at one stage the tourists were 113 for 7. but a 74 from captain dhanan—jaya de silva and a half century on debut
