we'll bring you the latest. i met the democratic national convention in chicago for tonight, kamala harris will accept the nomination. hervice kamala harris will accept the nomination. her vice president delivered a pep talk. we've got 76 days. that's nothing. there'll be time to sleep when you're dead. we're going to leave it on the field. i released with the pass rate falling for the third year running. hello. italian search teams are still looking for the remaining missing person from the luxury yacht that sank in an intense storm off

the coast of sicily. these are the latest developments. there are multiple reports that the latest body recovered from the wreckage is that of the british technology tycoon mike lynch. his 18—year—old daughter remains missing. six people died in the accident and 15 survived. the afp news agency is reporting that the bodies of five missing men have been recovered and brought back to shore. divers are continuing to search the wreckage for the one remaining missing person, helped by remote control vehicles that can be on the sea bed for several hours far longer than the ten minutes than each dive team is allowed at the depth. the yacht lies 50 metres below the surface of the water, apparently largely in tact. rescuers have struggled to get into the cabins where it's thought those who were missing had been sleeping. our correspondent mark lowen is in porticello with more on the search operation. we watch this morning as the fifth

body had been retrieved from the bayesian yacht was put into an ambulance to be taken to the mortuary for identification and postmortem. there were relatives earlier who had gathered on the port there and been consoling each other after the tragedy. let me explain to you what we know and what we don't know and what we can and can't say about the identity because since the capsizing happened on monday, there has been no public statement or press conference held by the time because god authorities. so, all the media are depending on snippets of information that they managed to pick up. there are multiple media reports quoting a postgrad official suggesting that the fifth body was the tech tycoon mike lynch, and that there are no remaining male victims from the disaster. the six remaining body that has not been found, as a woman. we have not been able to state that independently plotted because under italian law, it is

actually illegal to jump the gun and name a victim and before they have been formal identification processes,. because god officials, the rescue officials, believe that it is a matter of time until they find the six victim inside the asian and been by the investigation process goes on with a focus on whether human error was to blame, the captain and crew for not taking message on board to mitigate the extreme weather and the storm with that of been issued. before the tragedy on monday morning. we do have some breaking news now regarding the identity of one of the bodies retrieved from the wreck of this luxury yacht. according to the interior ministry in sicily, the body of the british tech magnate mike lynch was retrieved today from the vessel that sank earlier this

week. during that storm. they go on to say that mr lynch's daughter, hannah, the last person and for after that shipwreck, is still missing. a ministry official said that she may be inside the wreck, or could have been thrown into the sea as the boat sank. so, this is confirmation coming from the reuters news agency, quoting an official, this is the body has been identified by those officials not confirmed by the bbc. we must stress, there's been a lot of reports about the identities of those who have been retrieved from the yacht, but the bbc have been very cautious about what we know and what we don't know and what we can't confirm. but, this is the interior ministry in italy, saying that the body of mike lynch

has been retrieved. wright is going on to say that his daughter, hannah, is still missing. we will wait for absolute confirmation, we already know that five bodies have been brought ashore and the italian authorities were working quickly to find and officially identify them. brent hoberman is the founder of last minute dot com, remembers his friend as an original thinker with a witty, they hoped for a miracle and sadly it seems that we have not had a miracle so it is very tragic and the timing is of the shakespearean era tragedy, and that obviously he had just worked hard to clear his name for the last 12 years and was on a celebratory cruise. with the people who had supported him so much during that really tough time. i think it is important to celebrate and recognise mike lynch's legacy for uk technology. he was always a

wonderful, originalthinker, he was witty, wry sense of humour, but he was sharp and it was that original thinking and determination obviously, you don't get to the scale of achievement that he has done without a very hard—headed, tough determination but obviously, an intellect that is really extraordinary. extraordinary intellect with uncommon common sense. lord bethell who worked with mike lynch and sought his guidance when he has co—founding the ministry of sound remembers him as very supportive and encouraging. i new home at the beginning of the internet when hardly anyone in britain do anything about stoning, digital age. britain do anything about stoning, digitalage. mike britain do anything about stoning, digital age. mike was a standard character who raised a tonne of money is a very early stage. intellectually, he understood the implications of the internet when frankly most people over here was scrabbling around. for a variety of

companies reasons, the ministry of sound were very excited about the internet and we were very keen to embrace the vision. he was someone who we went to for advice and support. the really striking thing was, although our ideas were very fanciful, and although we were coming from a nightclub in south london, he was incredibly encouraging, supportive and so thoughtful, he meshes on the right direction, i did not give us any money, it was a wild idea. he was extremely thoughtful and considerate which you will hear from lots of people. i stayed which you will hear from lots of people. istayed in which you will hear from lots of people. i stayed in touch with him socially over the years and exactly the same experience over the years, i see... . .,, the same experience over the years, isee... . ., ., i see... that was the co-founder of the ministry _ i see... that was the co-founder of the ministry of _ i see... that was the co-founder of the ministry of sound. _ let's speak to david tabizel — he co—founded the company autonomy with mike lynch.

fingerprints and help security forces and police. i said, fingerprints and help security forces and police. isaid, look, i can foresee a time we have to remember this was before google exist, for search engines, we could not find anything, i could not find out about my beloved arsenal and we sat down and he developed a dog that ran around the internet and box every time it found something. some of the sound effects were... when i remember about him mainly, the speed of his brain i have never, ever, ever come across anybody with that ability and he was remarkable. first of all, very funny, i don't think i ever had a conversation with him that didn't have an argument, and didn't end well either because we argued the point. he moved in terms of his decision—making at the speed of his decision—making at the speed of light, i never heard him lie, i never had an exaggerated, he just thought, acted, innovated and

after 2015, 2016, and i spoke to him less and less when i realised one of his colleagues was prosecuted. to have your lifework, and hinged, particularly by an aggressive american from the justice system which being weaponised by big businesses. this subsystem, this took his life away, i congratulated him when he was released, when he was acquitted rather and he was so joyful. it was a new life, it was like walking between two universes. i had an effect on his health, of course, he did not see his children growing up properly, i cannot imagine what else he would have done socially, culturally, cut intellectual, and business wise. it is such a loss. he is the most resilient man, i describe in us freedom fighter.

we really appreciate you talking about mike lynch, with clearly such affection and admiration. i am sorry to send the circumstances, thank you for talking with us. you to send the circumstances, thank you for talking with us.— for talking with us. you are welcome- _ they are quoting, interior ministry official in italy, they are saying, and the bbc has not verified this, but the body of mike lynch, the british tech magnate, has been retrieved today. the official has also been quoted as saying that mike lynch's daughter is the last person and accounted for and still missing. after the shipwreck. they don't... the search continues for her. but these reports are from writers and we must make that very clear. for

it's day four and the culmunation of the democratic national convention in the us. in the coming hours, vice—president kamala harris will formally accept the nomination, and deliver her acceptance speech. with many saying the presidential race is too tight to call at the moment, this will be a big test for kamala harris. she's received raucus backing at the convention throughout the week, and party strategists will be hoping this will be her moment to shine. last night, her running mate, tim walz has given a combative address to the convention. mr waltz — who's the governor of minnesota — said that being picked was the "honour of his life". he criticised republican policies, calling them "weird and extreme".

we got 76 days. that's nothing. there will be time to sleep when you're dead. we're going to leave it on the field. that's how we'll keep moving forward. turn the page on donald trump. that's how we'll build a country where workers come first. health care and housing are human rights, and the government stays the hell out of your bedroom. cheering and applause. that's how we make america a place where no child is left hungry. where no community is left behind. where nobody gets told they don't belong. that's how we're going to fight. and as the next president of the united states always says, when we fight... we win.

when we fight... we win. thank you. god bless. we can go live to chicago now and my colleague catrina perry who's at the convention for us. you saw by tim walz is such a beloved and successful football coachin beloved and successful football coach in his time at his local high school. you really fired up the crowd as if it was a pep rally getting ready to march out onto the field and into victory. as you saw, he uses a lot of sporting analogies as well and there is a move to brand him as coach bolts rather than govern awards. he is of course governor of minnesota, in his second term. he is a successful politician as well as being governor but the role that he is fulfilling in this campaign and it was written on the stage was that of the everyman. the

guy next door, the friendly neighbour who will take your bins out and cut your grass. that is the kind of branding that they have around him. also, to do the traditional role of the vice presidential candidate which is to be the attack dog and goal after the rivals. he also laid out some of kamala harris�*s policies around the colony, taxation and so on, he made a joke saying... now folks, this is the bit you can share. this is our policy is. of course, he is firing up policy is. of course, he is firing up the crowd on the third night of what has been a very energetic convention ready for tonight which is when kamala harris, vice president, will take the stage and formally accept the nomination to be their candidate for presidential. she will present her biggest beach, all is here on here but of it is a huge television event. let's talk a bit more about her expect. we are joined by someone who knows who bell, a congresswoman from california. thanks forjoining us.

to stay the in all areas, particularly in the north—west where we will have most of the shallows but there will be a bit of sunshine around. grey and cloudy across the south of england but if we look to the atlantic for the snack system, which is now been named by the met office as storm lilian. it is going to impact as it races through overnight so and cross southern scotland and northern ireland and large parts of england and wales, the winds pick up for wales and the midlands and northern england you can see damaging guests and in excess of 70 mph is an exposure through the courts. as damaging winds continue to cross over the midlands, wales, northern england through friday morning just in time for the rush that as the rain and winds clear away, and the thundershowers, brighten up into the afternoon, plenty of sunshine with blustery showers across northern areas. a feature as the guests is down as we head into the latter part of friday. temperatures in the high

teens in the north and 22 and 20 in the south. we could see some disruptions for the end of the night and into friday morning, trees in full lives we could see some trees and branches been brought down for this very strong dusty winds. conditions improve a little bit as we head through friday night, lots of showers across the north west and we could see this for a weather front bring some heavy and persistent rain across southern and south—eastern areas to the early part of saturday. ? through the front, a bit further north or south, but it could give some rainfall across the south—east on saturday morning. a wet morning here, quite busy too, further north and west we see plenty of showers, some heavy and foundry in scotland and there will be a good deal of sunshine around and it will brighten up across the south—east as that rain games to push away temperature wise, disappointing for this time of year, high teens in the north and 20 in the south. as a bank holiday weekend

for most of us, looks at the bridge of high tubal building across england and wales across sunday to monday so we should see condition is improving. perhaps one or two but more settled towards the north and west of the country.
