of all this is that we are now revisiting his legacy and his impact on the economy, and technology — and, as we are about to hear, i think, a lot more in the next few days, on so many parts of humanity. i'm bethany bell, live imported cello. the search continues for his 18—year—old daughter, who is still missing. ex—footballerjermainejenas has been sacked by the bbc from presenting the one show. i'm katrina perry at the democratic national convention, in chicago — in tonight, kamala harris will officially accept her party's

looks back now at his life. mike lynch was a giant of uk business for nearly three decades. a cambridge phd student who built cutting—edge technology company autonomy before selling it for £9 billion to american giant hp — who later accused the company of fraudulently inflating its profits. that kicked off over a decade of legal wrangling, that eventually saw him extradited in handcuffs to the us to face criminal charges. injune, he walked free — and less than three weeks ago, described the moment the usjury acquitted him. it's very hard to describe the moment. you're reliant on 12 ordinary people. until you hear the words, you can't call it — and at that point, it's indescribable, the way in which you jump between two universes. hp still insists it was misled. in 2018, autonomy�*s chief financial officer was convicted of fraud. but mike lynch was hugely respected, and other entrepreneurs

say his presence and talent will be greatly missed. it's so tragic about what he would've done over the next couple of decades. i think there was a lot of unfulfilled potential in what he was — he was still on his journey, and he'd been sidetracked for a decade, as i say, with this court case. mike lynch recently said he wanted to get back to doing what he enjoyed most, innovating — an ambition he tragically now won't fulfil. simon jack, bbc news. earlier i spoke to theo leggett who explained mike leggett�*s legacy to the tech sector. he explained mike leggett's legacy to the tech sector.— explained mike leggett's legacy to the tech sector. he had a very rapid rise in the tech _ the tech sector. he had a very rapid rise in the tech sector, _ the tech sector. he had a very rapid rise in the tech sector, but - the tech sector. he had a very rapid rise in the tech sector, but he also l rise in the tech sector, but he also fell from grace very abruptly at the beginning of the last decade. his ascension came when he was one of a number of entrepreneurs who came out of cambridge university — he did his doctorate there, he studied there, and he was one of the first people to realise how much he could use the

expertise from cambridge university in the newly developing tech world around the turn—of—the—century. so he founded a company called autonomy in 1996 - that he founded a company called autonomy in 1996 — that was a company that did data crunching for large businesses, data crunching and services. there was very successful, it went through something of a low point, as many tech businesses did, when the tech bubble burst. but over the early to thousands, that decade, it grew rapidly, it took control of many of its rivals, it became a big player in the tech world — and so was mike lynch. the problem came really at the high point, which was in 2011, hewlett—packard came calling, an american decided to make a giant decided it wanted this british upstart company as part of its own portfolio and was willing to pay whatever the odds for it. the deal was around £11.5 billion, hp took control over autonomy — and

that's where things went wrong. there was a very rapid case of buyers regret — just over a year later, hp said it was writing down the value of its asset by nearly $9 billion. it said it had been sold basically a light, that there were accounting regularities which meant the company was not worth what it paid. and that led really to a whole raft of legal cases, including one civil case in london which mike lynch lost. prosecutors came on board in the united states — and ultimately, he was extradited to the us to face 1a charges of fraudulent behaviour. now in the us, if you're charged with these things what happens with most people is they reach a plea deal where they plead guilty to a lower charge, get a

sentence rather than fighting their case in court, where they may end up with a much stiffer sentence. mike lynch was clearly a risk taker — he chose not to do this, he fought his case and, just a few weeks ago, he was acquitted. a really unusual outcome for fraud cases was acquitted. a really unusual outcome forfraud cases in was acquitted. a really unusual outcome for fraud cases in the united states. but he took that risk, he got that reward, he was exonerated, and this expedition on the boat in sicily — that was a gathering of his friends, family, andindeed gathering of his friends, family, and indeed his lawyers as well to celebrate his acquittal. let's go live to our correspondent bethany bell, in sicily. that search is still under way, tell us what's happening.— us what's happening. well, one erson is us what's happening. well, one person is still— us what's happening. well, one person is still missing - - us what's happening. well, one person is still missing - that. us what's happening. well, one person is still missing - that is| person is still missing — that is believed to be, we understand, from sources close to mike lynch's family, his daughter, his

18—year—old daughter, hannah. and they've been watching for hours now as coastguard vessels go out to the site of the wreck, circling around it. divers in bright orange diving suits are being ferried from the quayside to the spot. they then have to dive 50 metres down to the sea bed — and they can only spend 8—10 minutes, we are told, before they have to resurface. and looking for ways into the yacht has been extremely difficult and dangerous because they can only spend such a short amount of time down there, it's painstaking and difficult work. but they have been aided by little remote controlled vehicles, robots if you will that have been taking images and looking around underneath the sea bed. but it's been very grim, standing here on the harbour.

yesterday, we had four bodies which we saw being brought to the harbour — and when we first got the news that bodies had been found, i looked through the camera lens, a very strong camera lens, and you could just see in a small boat how divers were hauling what seem to be a dead body onto the boat. later then, we saw body bags being brought here to the quayside, being placed into ambulances where they had been taken to the whole process of postmortems and identification — a very formal identification process here in italy — is under way. and this morning, we had the fifth body brought to the surface. ., ., , , . ., , surface. the other aspect of this investigation _ surface. the other aspect of this investigation of _ surface. the other aspect of this investigation of course - surface. the other aspect of this investigation of course will - surface. the other aspect of this investigation of course will be, l investigation of course will be, bethany, how did it happen when there had been a storm warning? lats

there had been a storm warning? lots of questions — there had been a storm warning? lots of questions about this. if you talk to some of the local sailors around here, they are saying, "we all knew we had to stay in the harbour that night, that there was no question of going out into the slightly more open and exposed position." what was they got doing out there? those questions are some of the questions we are carrying around. also, could something have been done to mitigate the impact of this extreme weather phenomenon, the waterspout, the mini tornado that tipped the yacht? where the hatch is open? many, many questions we are hearing — and we know investigators have asked questions of the captain, who is from new zealand, and that will all be part of an investigation, we are told, will take weeks if not months told, will take weeks if not months to be completed, that the wheels of

investigations move slowly here in italy. but of course, because of the high—profile nature of this case, there will be pressure on the authorities as well to try and establish just what it was that happened. establish just what it was that happened-— establish just what it was that hauened. �* . , ., , happened. bethany, thank you very much. david tabizel, who co—founded the company autonomy with mike lynch, told me more about his business partner and friend. before he really made any money, we both had a passion for video games — i had a video games company making football games. and he actually built a rather successful and technologically creative video console called the atari jaguar, a long time ago. and we shared a venture capitalist who took an interest in our common businesses, and i had an internet

service provider called demon, and he had a business on the side with a man called richard gaunt who was very bright indeed. they were doing some amazing things with the ability to organise information that make no sense and to recognise images and fingerprints and help security forces and police. isaid, look, i can foresee a time... we have to remember this was before google existed, 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 hat ran around the internet and barked every time it found something. some of the sound effects were... what i remember about him mainly was the speed of his brain, i have never, ever, ever come across anybody with that ability, and he was a remarkable man. first of all, he was 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 points. he moved, in terms of his decision—making, at the speed of light. i never heard him lie, i never heard him

exaggerate, hejust thought, acted, innovated — and without him, there would be no british tech scene. there was nothing before him. it does sound that he also retained the ability to be playful from what you were saying. what sort of toll did the last 12 years, of being caught up in a legal battle, take on him? you know, i was very proud of what we built, it was a $10 million plus company, and i wasn't involved in the last ten years. but all i can tell you is that all his friends will always remain incredibly loyal to him because he was incredibly loyal to us. he was a machine, there was no standing still from mike mentally, he was generous, intellectually, generous socially, but if you got the bit between his teeth,

he wouldn't give up. he was relentless, 2a hours. in the end, this injustice, as he saw it, occupied almost all of his waking moments — particularly after 2015, 2016 — and i spoke to him less and less when he realised one of his colleagues was being prosecuted. it was exhausting, to have your lifework and character impinged, particularly by an aggressive american criminal justice system which has been weaponised by big businesses. this obsessed him, 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 know it 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, intellectual, and business—wise. it's just such a loss. he is the most resilient man i know. i describe him as a freedom

fighter, really. ex—footballerjermaine jenas has been sacked from presenting the one show. the former premier league footballer was removed from the programme, following an internal investigation by the corporation because of alleged complaints about his behaviour. the bbc has since confirmed that he is no longer part of their presenting line—up. our culture correspondent told us more about the sacking.- our culture correspondent told us more about the sacking. relating to issues regarding _ more about the sacking. relating to issues regarding workplace - more about the sacking. relating to j issues regarding workplace conduct. he's been taken off air on match of the day and the one show. a bbc spokesperson said to us that they can confirm he's no longer part of their presenting line—up. as we say, we understand his contract was terminated because of issues relating to workplace behaviour. after issues including digital

communications, such as texts, were raised with the corporation a few weeks ago. now he's 41 years old, he's a former england footballer, he made his footballing debut at the age of 17. and he retired from football in 2016. now he's a well—known face on bbc platforms — he's appeared on several shows, most notably much of the date as a pundit, seen as a likely successor to gary lineker, and he's also been a host on the what show. he's presenting on talk sport moore — we've asked him for comment, but we've asked him for comment, but we've not received anything yet. moore it's very early days, we don't know how it'll all unfold, but ultimately, it's coming at a difficult time for the bbc, and there'll be questions raised internally about this. it's coming on the back of it we had recently when it comes to what happened with

huw edwards and strickler come dancing, and this will be something the bbc will have to look into. there may be more due to come out, how likely is it that the bbc will reveal their findings of this internal investigation? at reveal their findings of this internal investigation? at this sta . e it's internal investigation? at this stage it's very _ internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, - internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, we - internal investigation? at this stage it's very early, we don'tj internal investigation? at this - stage it's very early, we don't know how much would be revealed. of course there will be a public interest in it, and he's a very familiarface to so interest in it, and he's a very familiar face to so many people. so people will want to know what's happened if they are able to reveal that. as i say at this point, it's just alleged issues, we haven't heard from him and we don't know what his view on it is. we will hopefully be hearing on it more in the coming hours. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

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... all: we win! when we fight... we win! thank you, god bless. we win! tim we win! walz speaking last night. we can go live to chicago now — and my colleague caitriona perry, who's at the convention for us. well, rehearsals are well under way for tonight's event. so if you hear the band suddenly starting up, that's what it's all about. there are a lot of high—profile musical

acts, some of whom are being kept under high secretive, under wraps at the moment. but a big television event planned tonight. of course we heard tim walz last night, and what delegates have described to me as a barnstorming speech. they are calling him now coach waltz, rather than tim walz, and there's been a push within the party to brand him as the family guy next door, to persuade people in the midwest, where he's from, in these key battleground states where the election will be fought, won or lost, as the case may be. the pep rally last night with tim walz and oprah, tonight is the finale, where kamala harris will accept the party's nomination and give her acceptance speech. let's talk to somebody who knows exactly what lies ahead, senator ron wyden from oregon

and also chair of the senate finance committee. thanks for being with us. tim walz�*s speech last night, is that what you are expecting from him? it speech last night, is that what you are expecting from him?— are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, _ are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, and _ are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, and tim - are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, and tim walz - are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, and tim walz is l are expecting from him? it was a terrific speech, and tim walz is a football— terrific speech, and tim walz is a football guy. i went to school on a basketball — football guy. i went to school on a basketball scholarship, but it was clear— basketball scholarship, but it was clear that — basketball scholarship, but it was clear that he understands very well that in_ clear that he understands very well that in sports and politics, the name — that in sports and politics, the name of— that in sports and politics, the name of the game is teamwork — and what he _ name of the game is teamwork — and what he did _ name of the game is teamwork — and what he did yesterday would really -et what he did yesterday would really get the _ what he did yesterday would really get the team excited, everybody's going _ get the team excited, everybody's going to _ get the team excited, everybody's going to be pitching in, talking about— going to be pitching in, talking about all— going to be pitching in, talking about all the phone calls we're going — about all the phone calls we're going to — about all the phone calls we're going to make and the e—mails, and the text, _ going to make and the e—mails, and the text, and all the grassroots work _ the text, and all the grassroots work and _ the text, and all the grassroots work. and the reality is that campaigns in our country are one on the ground. — campaigns in our country are one on the ground, and we got a ticket now the ground, and we got a ticket now the understands that, and the enthusiasm could not be higher. it enthusiasm could not be higher.

from prosecutors is almost $3 million. now one of the tate brothers has also been accused of having sex multiple times with someone who was 15 years old at the time. now in the previous case where they've already been charged, the tate brothers have been adamant all along that they are guilty of no wrongdoing, that they are entirely innocent — and in this new case, i was briefly able to speak to andrew tate last night when he first heard the charges. he described them to me at the time is pathetic, saying they were made up, and he said that the prosecutors were desperate and had nothing on him. the house was searched for ten hours yesterday, though, the prosecutors took away all sorts of evidence, they impounded some cars and have decided to remand them into custody. sarah rainsford in — to remand them into custody. sarah rainsford in bucharest. _ to remand them into custody. sarah rainsford in bucharest. this - to remand them into custody. sarah rainsford in bucharest. this is - to remand them into custody. sarah rainsford in bucharest. this is bbc news.

throughout the afternoon today, it'll stay blustery for all areas, particularly towards the north and the west where we will have most of the west where we will have most of the showers. but there will be quite a lot of sunshine around, though staying gray and cloudy across the southeast, courtesy of this weather front. but we look to the atlantic to this next system being named by the met office as storm lillian, likely to cause some impacts as it races in during the overnight period. the rain caps up, it's in northern ireland, large parts of england and wales, and the winds pick up for this developing... and... those damaging winds then continuing to cross parts of wales, northern england, but as the rain and winds clear away and the thundershowers still brightened up into the afternoon, plenty of sunshine but there will be blustery showers across northern and western areas, the winds really a future as you can see the whist gun just wind

gusts there, though easing down into the that are part of friday. 22—283 in the south. we could see some disruption from storm lillian into friday morning, trees in full leaf, so we could see some trees and branches being brought down from these strong, gusty winds. conditions improve a little bit as we had their friday night, lots of showers across, we could see this weather from showers across, we could see this weatherfrom bringing heavy and persistent rain across southern and southeastern areas during the early part of saturday. a bit of a question mark, could be further north or south, but it could give some substantial, much—needed rainfall across the southeast to start saturday morning. so very wet morning here, quite breezy too. further north and west, we will see heavy and thundershowers, then into western parts of england and wales, but a good deal of sunshine around and i think it'll brighten up across the southeast that rain begins. disappointing for the time of year,

high teens in the north. a bank holiday weekend for most of us, it looks like a ridge of high pressure will build in across england and wales sunday and monday. so we should see conditions improve here, perhaps feeling a bit warmer too, but more unsettled towards the north and the rest of the country.
