across parts of the country. hello i'm samantha simmonds. four bodies have been brought ashore from the luxury british yacht the bayesian, which sank off sicily on monday. a fifth body has been located inside the vessel. none of the identities have been disclosed, and one passenger is still unaccounted for. divers will tomorrow resume their search of the yacht, which is on its side 160 feet below the surface of the water, after it capsized in a freak storm. from sicily, mark lowen has the latest: in this awful story, another grimly inevitable chapter — five more bodies found today from the bayesian, all but one taken ashore, transported to mortuaries to be formally identified. it takes to six the number now known to have died as the superyacht sank.

one other is still missing. it had been a celebratory holiday for british tech tycoon mike lynch, recently acquitted on fraud charges. 15 were rescued but seven didn't make it out — he and his 18—year—old daughter hannah, his lawyer chris morvillo and wife neda, and jonathan bloomer, the head of morgan stanley, with his wifejudy, along with the yacht�*s chef, recaldo thomas. for a third day, divers had been searching since morning, helped by remote controlled vehicles that could be on the sea bed for several hours — far longer than the ten minutes each dive team is allowed at that depth. they'd been trying to reach deep into the bayesian, lying on its side under water. 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. this is the last known footage of the ship, caught on cctv as a violent storm hit the area overnight. some time later, it was

swallowed up by the sea. but the questions are still mounting, especially for the experts. rino 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 took us out into waters he's been navigating for 30 years and says, for a superyacht to have sunk here 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 that hit the bayesian? he says it still shouldn't have caused such damage. translation: 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 masts

weren't damaged by it. you need to be on alert, but it passes quickly. ijust don't understand it. as we arrived in porticello — the site of the capsizing — the rescue work went on and with it, the search for answers. 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 50m underwater to the sea bed in search of what still evades them. and so it's taking time, but the emergency teams are finally making progress, and the horrors of the dark depths are gradually coming to light. mark is more of what investigators will be asking in the wake of this investigation.— investigation. how can you ship around of _ investigation. how can you ship around of the _ investigation. how can you ship around of the size. _ investigation. how can you ship around of the size. it's - investigation. how can you ship around of the size. it's all - investigation. how can you ship| around of the size. it's all made even less clear by the fact that

despite earlier eyewitness reports that the last of the ship had been smashed by the waterspout. the rescue team say they found it largely intact underwater. emergency team say they believe the fifth party found today will be brought ashore tomorrow morning and it's probably a matter of time before they find six remaining missing body. while the rescuers continue to find more of the missing investigators continue to search for more of the answers. and the agonising and time—consuming weight for both goes on. a man has been arrested on suspicion of murder after a woman and three children died following a house fire in bradford. west yorkshire police were called by the fire service to reports of a blaze in the early hours. a 29—year—old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while two girls aged one and nine, and a five—year—old boy, died after they were taken to hospital. danny savage has more.

had died at the scene. three children named as nine—year—old, a five—year—old and 22—month—old were taken to hospital where sadly all three died from their injuries. the three died from their in'uries. the street is sealed off after the fire. the family home where it happened is now the scene of a major inquiry in this bradford neighbourhood. what took place near ny? it is of course shocking for friends and family trying to come to terms with the sudden death of those they knew. i looked out the window and ijust saw looked out the window and i just saw police car, ambulances up and down the road. , police car, ambulances up and down the road. ., police car, ambulances up and down the road. ,, . ., , the road. lindsay and her family were awoke _

the riot at a hotel housing asylum seekers near rotherham was one of the worst of this summer. at one point, some of the angry mob pushed a burning bin up against a doorway, trying to set the building on fire. today, thomas birley pleaded guilty to arson with intent to endanger life. the judge warned him that a life sentence was possible. also at the rotherham riot was peter beard, seen here in the dark blue polo shirt and shorts, repeatedly attacking the line of riot officers trying to protect the hotel. he's a former soldier who served as a peacekeeper in bosnia and kosovo. thejudge said his conduct had been shameful and disgraceful, and jailed him for two and a half years. at the first riot, in southport, police officers were caught in a vehicle as the mob pelted them with rocks and bins. at one point, luke moran tried to smash their window with a large piece of masonry.

the father of three was jailed for three years at liverpool crown court. the judge said it was the worst case he had seen so far. more than 150 people have now been sent to prison for their roles in the riots, including perry fisher, who missed his first court appearance because he went on holiday to dubai. he was jailed for 29 months today for his part in disorder at a hotel housing asylum seekers in aldershot at the end ofjuly. daniel sandford, bbc news. let's get more analysis now from our investigations correspondent, daniel de simone. the riots have been characterised as being motivated by far—right narratives and misinformation. some of those involved, likejohn honey — seen here in a st george's cross t—shirt, attacking a car of romanian men in hull — have been linked to far—right groups. present at the southport riot was a convicted terrorist, matthew hankinson, who'd recently served a prison sentence

for being in a banned neo—nazi terror group. but the vast majority of those involved — with hundreds already charged and convicted — have not been previously linked to far—right organisations. that tells us something about modern right—wing extremism — it's anarchic and no longer mainly about poltiical groups and parties, with people forming in looser networks, often online. in the years before the riots, there have been a series of attacks with similar targets, deemed to be terrorism byjudges and the authorities. the murder of muslim grandfather makram ali in a 2017 van attack in london, and this attack on a migrant processing centre in dover two years ago. the lone attackers were not in formal groups and were radicalised — or triggered by — online material, much like so many of rioters. there were key instigators for the riots, including on social media, but no one organisation

or person owned or organised the national unrest — it was broader than that, making it more complex and troubling. key questions now for the authorities will be if dangerous far—right narratives and misinformation are more widespread and mainstream than many would like to think, and what kind of risk that may pose for the future. meanwhile, a man in pakistan, who's been accused of spreading disinformation which is thought to have fuelled the unrest here in the uk, has been arrested on suspicion of cyber terrorism. our pakistan correspondent caroline davies had this update. this man is farhad nassif are connected by a bbc investigation earlier this month to a website called channel three now, which had posted an article giving false information about the alleged southport attacker. that was then cited

by multiple posts that went viral and it is thought that information that was false has helped to contribute to the riots. channel three now issued an apology, they took down the article and said those involved had been fired. in an e—mailfrom the official website, we were told that four nassif was not involved. he has been questioned by police and a source at lahore police has told me that when the police went to speak to him, he told officers he did write that article from information he had seen on social media and had not verified. according to police he also told them he ran the website on his own and police say having looked at his bank accounts, e—mails, social media that at the moment they have yet to find any evidence he worked with anyone else. police have now filed a case against him, they say in that report they have found devices of his with channel three now�*s social media accounts attached to them and

they also say that he told them he had given misleading information to the bbc to divert the blame. investigation continues, including into whether or not else was involved and mr asif is expected to appear in court tomorrow. to the us now, 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 the former house speaker nancy pelosi. the party's biggest stars, 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." live now my colleague sumi somaskanda, sumi who's at the convenstion.

yes, as you mentioned the crowd was electrified last night watching former president barack obama and former president barack obama and formerfirst lady former president barack obama and former first lady michelle obama. we could see similar energy surrounding bill clinton and kamala harris his running mate, minnesota governor tim walz for the get the vote out, there is an understanding that that is despite all the enthusiasm in this arena going to be a very tight race for the i have a guest to talk to me a little bit more about that. about that. joining me now is democratic pollster roshni nedungadi. great to have you with us for that will been talking a little bit about polls. they are pretty static at the moment. between kamala harris and donald trump. why haven't we seen polls move that much in last week or so, eversince polls move that much in last week or so, ever since kamala harris entered the right two race? i so, ever since kamala harris entered the right two race?— the right two race? i think we have seen a lot in _ the right two race? i think we have seen a lot in last _ the right two race? i think we have

chicago. in the middle east, tension appears to ratcheting up again. even as fears of a wider conflict involving iran could be receeding. a senior officialfrom the palestinian fatah movement has accused israel of assassinating one of the group's members, claiming its part of an effort by israel to ignite a regional war. these pictures released by the israel defense forces are reported to show the strike on the outskirts of the port city of sidon in southern lebanon. it was the first such strike on a fatah member since the start of the gaza war. khalil makdah had been accused by israel of smuggling weapons into the west bank. lebanese media say two other people were also killed in the strike, one was a member of the iranian revolutionary guards qud's force. here's israeli government spokesperson, david mencer. we released a precise breakdown of exactly who this man was working in partnership with the irg see, the iranian's islamic revolutionary

guard to trying to push deadly arms into thejudea and samaria working with hezbollah we have produced a comprehensive list of his crimes and why we targeted him and why we successfully targeted hi m. israel has also said it will not withdraw its troops from the so—called philadelphia corridor along the border between egypt and gaza. a statement from prime minister netanyahu's office said "israel will insist on the achievement of all of its objectives for the war, as they have been defined by the security cabinet, including that gaza never again constitutes a security threat to israel. this requires securing the southern border" president biden has spoken with prime minister netanyahu, by phone — the white house said it was to discuss the ceasefire and hostage release deal, and diplomatic efforts to de—escalate regional tensions. this all comes just hours after us secretary of state antony blinken left empty—handed after a tour

of the middle east aimed at reaching a ceasefire in the israel—hamas war in gaza. he had this message for reporters. our message is simple, it's clear, and it urgent. we need to get the cease—fire in hostage agreement over the finish line. and we need to do it now. all of this comes as hezbollah and israel exchanged fire — with hezbolla firing dozens of rockets at the occupied golan heights, and israel saying it hit hezbollah weapons storage facilities. our state department correspondent tom bateman was with mr blinken's team as they travelled across the middle east. he's now returned to washington — and he gave us this analysis of the trip. well phone calls between president biden and benjamin netanyahu feel like they're becoming a bit more of a prominent feature of this relationship, it's quite rare. it had been quite rare for the two men to speak. they have a pretty fractious and complicated relationship, but i think this shows the phase that this has got to.

now, the white house feeling it has to intervene again. and what we saw on this trip with mr blinken now back in washington, was something that started with a sense of american expectation, optimism even, really ending with nothing like the kind of breakthrough, at least not imminently, that the americans were in some ways sort of setting up. i think much of that is to do with the challenges that have come in the relationship between the americans and the israelis, not to mention, of course, the very, very difficult business of the negotiation between israel and hamas. what we saw in tel aviv, after mr blinken had had a three hour meeting with the israeli prime minister, was then a fairly spectacular set of recriminations, where as we left and headed from tel aviv to the arab mediators, first to egypt, and a reported

statement from mr netanyahu about his desire to keep troops on the ground in strategically important parts of gaza. now that has angered the americans, they've accused him of making, in their words, maximalist statements that could jeopardise the ceasefire process. what he said is that this is about trying to maintain security for israel in the gaza strip in the longer term, but troop presence in gaza after the war is a potent issue because of the history of this conflict. and it is the american position that in the long term, there should be no israeli occupation of gaza. so this has become a critical sticking point, not least in the fact that hamas rejects any israeli presence in the gaza strip entirely. but even getting the position negotiated between the americans and the israelis is proving very challenging. so it may now be that talks continue, possibly in cairo thursday and friday, but i think the us hopes

for a speedy breakthrough. the pressure to create urgency is not being shared by the two adversaries who are actually negotiating. now for a look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. the times leads with the sunken superyacht — divers find five bodies in the wreck. same story in the daily mail — the paper says �*superyacht hope lost�*. those are the wrong pictures. in the financial times — public sector unions challenge labour to repair losses from a decade of pay cuts. in the i — singer feargal sharkey warns �*labour has no real plan to fix the uk sewage crisis�*. the guardian leads with sextortion — and uk police threaten to extradite criminals after a rise in cases. in the telegraph — alzheimer's wonder drug

is given the go—ahead. and finally, the metro — mp calls for �*freedom of the swiftie�* after her tour brings a reported one billion pounds to the uk. let�*s go back to those pictures. the last elephant in south africa�*s national zoo has been released into the wild after a0 years in captivity. the bull named charlie was captured from a national park in zimbabwe when just a calf, before being trained to perform tricks at a circus. his new home is a game reserve in south africa�*s northern limpopo province — and these are pictures of him just before he was set free. time for the weather with stav. hello there. conditions continue to go downhill across northern and western areas today. we�*ve seen rain and gales sweeping in off the atlantic. it�*s the first of a series of low pressure systems, which will bring wet and windy spells over the next few days, but there will be some good spells of sunshine in between the systems.

it�*s been drier the further south you are, closer to this area of high pressure. this area of low pressure does contain the remnants of what was hurricane ernesto. so there�*s a lot of moisture trapped into the system. heavy, persistent rain continuing across scotland, particularly western scotland, into parts of northern ireland and eventually spreading into north west england, northern and western wales with gales around the coast. but a blustery night to come for all, drier in the southeast and a mild one, mid—teens for most. 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.
