" seven days after his appearance on the show steve dymond died of an overdose and heart problems. the inquest is due to conclude next

week. duncan kennedy, bbc news, in winchester. one person has died after a royal navy helicopter ditched in the sea last night off the coast of dorset. three others were rescued. the ministry of defence says two helicopters were taking part in a night exercise with the aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth. danjohnsonjoins us from portland in dorset. dan what do we know about the circumstances of this incident? it's not clear yet exactly what went wrong last night. we know there were two helicopters low—flying out at sea off the coast here in conjunction with the aircraft carrier hms queen elizabeth. these were night—time flying exercises. when one of those helicopters was forced to ditch into the water. to my crew members were rescued and taken to hospital and didn't suffer serious injuries —— two crew members. but sadly a third, his body was recovered. the prime minister, the defence secretary and the head

of the navy come the first sea lord, all expressed their sympathies. that's the man has not been named but we understand he was based at the royal naval station yeovilton at somerset. we know that there will be a full investigation into the circumstances of this incident but the weather last night here was much better than it is now. we understand it was clear and dry so that investigation will explore exactly what went wrong with this helicopter, why it was forced to come down and why that crew member lost his life. that investigation could take many months. dan johnson, thank ou. oasis fans are being asked to share their experince of trying to buy tickets for the reunion tour as part of an investigation into ticketmaster. the competition watchdog will look into dynamic pricing after many complained they were asked to pay significantly more than they were expecting at the checkout. here's david sillito. music: wonderwall by oasis # today is going to be the day that they're i going to throw it back

to you... #- oasis — it's been 15 years since they last played together. tickets for their concerts next year sold out in a day, but many fans are feeling bruised and exploited. i spoke to teresa laroche. she joined the online queue expecting to pay £180. 7.5 hours later, she got a shock. there was so much pressure. so i think because, you know, people were being chucked off and you were losing your shopping cart, i think when you did finally get there that probably increased the pressure for people to just suddenly make a split decision. when you finally got them in the basket and ready to pay, how much were they each? i was left with the option to buy two seats at £196 each. you felt pressured to spend hundreds of pounds you couldn't afford? i did for a split second, and then my rational brain took over and decided no. how do you feel about it? whether it's a virtual queue or a physical queue, i think you should have the expectation that

what you're going to get at the end of that queue will be the same as what it was when you started queuing. a statement has now been issued by the competition and market authority, saying the cma is scrutinising whether the sale of oasis tickets by ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law. the investigation will look at whether fans were misled or pressurised into paying more than they expected. the band also says that ticket sale process failed to meet expectations, and the government says this adds to a wider concern about ticketing and touts, changes they say are coming. david sillito, bbc news. now, it's a case that has shocked france. a man has gone trial accused of enlisting dozens of strangers to rape his wife after he had her drugged. the court has been told the abuse went on for more than a decade — and that the woman's husband had filmed what happened. today the woman, who's now in her 70s, began telling her story in court. our paris correspondent andrew harding has the story — his report contains distressing

details. in a courthouse in the city of avignon, one woman's voice shook france to the core today. this is gisele pelicot, walking tall, choosing to face the cameras as she came to tell her bone—chilling story. on trial here are these 51 frenchmen, all accused of raping pelicot as she lay unconscious in her own bed, drugged by her own husband. in the courtroom, facing that husband, pictured standing here, pelicot described the moment her happy marriage collapsed, when a french policeman showed her pictures from her husband's laptop, pictures of strangers raping her. her testimony, spoken here by translator. it was hard to recognise myself. then the officer showed me a second photo and a third. i asked him to stop. it was unbearable. i was lifeless in my bed

and a man was raping me. my world fell apart. i am speaking now not for myself but for all the women who are drugged and abused. after giving evidence, pelicot kept her composure in front of the media. translation: i think i have said everything i could. - it is not easy. there is a lot of pressure. we are going to have to fight to the end. this trial is going to last four months. pelicot�*s husband dominic has already confessed to everything, to repeatedly drugging his wife over the course of more than a decade. but many of the other men also on trial for raping her have told police that either they did not realise she was unconscious or they assumed her husband's consent was enough. but that kind of argument has provoked fury. today, the husband's lawyer said the other accused

might argue it was sex, not rape, but when the videos themselves are shown in court, there will be no doubt what really happened. pelicot�*s own daughter attended the trial this morning. she has campaigned for the issue of drugging and raping to be taken far more seriously across france. and outside court, activists called for the courage shown by one woman to lead to wider changes in laws and attitudes. andrew harding, bbc news, france. michel barnier — the former european commissioner who negotiated brexit for the eu — has been named as the new french prime minister. mr barnier, a conservative, was appointed by president emmanuel macron following two months of political deadlock in the country following snap elections that ended in a hung parliament. the deputy prime minister, angela rayner, says it is completely unaccepatble that thousands of people are still living in unsafe tower blocks seven years

after the grenfell tower fire. but she couldn't give a timeline for when flammable cladding will be removed. tom symonds has more. we now know why 72 people lost their lives, but what happened here could've happened anywhere dangerous materials were used on high—rises. that fact triggered a rush to make buildings safe, so now there's a new question — when will it end? have you got a timeline? i haven't got a definitive timeline yet, but... the deputy prime minister had to admit that this morning in a tour of the studios, but the pressure's now on to get rid of the scaffolding and get thejob done. she says the money — £5 billion — is there, but... sometimes there's very complex structures to these buildings. some are owned offshore, and i'm looking at that now and how we can continue to really hold these building owners to account to make sure that they do the work. there's no excuse. there'll be a new plan in the autumn, she said, so what's the scale of the challenge?

well, more than a600 blocks above 11 metres — about six storeys — have so far been found to be unsafe, but only 1350 have had work completed. that is about 29%, and this has been going on for years now. all the time, people are being told about new problems. this is rachael loftus in leeds. alongside timber cladding on the outside of the building, we've also been told that this polycarbonate sheeting should never have been used on a residential building because it's likely to melt if the temperature got very high. and then the other problem is that this is the insulation that's used behind the outer wall of our building. and that's basicallyjust polystyrene, so that also would melt and actually be, like, toxic in the event of a fire. it's all—consuming. in manchester, for tom, it's cladding. work started, but not finished. it needs a firm deadline, _ and it needs consequences if people don't do the...meet that deadline.

you know, we should be compensated for the fact that this is just _ disrupting our lives. the government may have to beef up the law to keep things moving. tom believes his project is short of workers and more professional fire experts are needed. that's a recommendation of the grenfell inquiry. ministers will be under pressure to say when they will deliver what yesterday's report calls for, as the consequences of the disaster continue to unfold. tom symonds, bbc news. the olympic marathon runner, rebecca cheptegei, has died four days after she was allegedly doused in petrol and set on fire by a former boyfriend. the 33—year—old who represented uganda had recently returned home to kenya after competing in the paris olympics. our senior africa correspondent, anne soy, reports from cheptegei's family in mourning. this was their daughter on the international stage, carrying her country's flag high

at the paris olympics just weeks ago. but once back home, rebecca became the victim of domestic violence, it's reported. her family is demanding forjustice. translation: i've lost the person that we depended on for help. - her children are in school. i appeal for your support to pursue justice for my daughter and that the perpetrator be charged. the 33—year—old athlete was rushed to the main hospital in western kenya after her former boyfriend allegedly poured petrol on her and set her on fire at her home during an altercation over a land dispute. her friend and fellow athlete immaculate chemutai says that she's deeply shocked by rebecca's death. i'll remember her as a good athlete, ugandan champion, world marathon runner and as a good friend. she had a good, promising future ahead of her.

after her making her marathon debut in 2021, cheptegei set the ugandan record in 2022 in just her fourth race of the distance and raced in last year's world championships in budapest. her death adds to the list of elite female athletes who've lost their lives to domestic violence in the region. in 2021, kenyan athlete agnes tirop was found dead with multiple stab wounds in the neck and abdomen. her husband is facing murder charges, which he denies. a year later, damaris mutua was killed and her partner identified as a suspect. he is still at large. the federation of women lawyers is now demanding for action. so we urge the judiciary- and the government of kenya to plough in resources to facilitate i speedy trials for the loss of life. i we cannot have loss of life cases — murders, homicides — _ being dragged on for five or six. years, which is the current trend.

how much more do we need re—victimise, particularly- the families of those who lost their lives? j the loss of three elite female athletes to domestic violence in as many years in kenya has raised serious concerns and discussions about their safety. anne soy, bbc news, nairobi. the time is 6.16pm. our top story this evening: at an inquest, the presenter jeremy kyle defends his treatment of steve dymond, a guest who died days after appearing on his itv show. do you have any pain anywhere? no. thousand suffer sudden hearing loss in britain every year. a new study coming up on bbc news, england cricket coach brendon mccullum has been laying out his expectations for the future ahead of theirfinal test against sri lanka tomorrow, and he has some bold ambitions for global success.

in paris today on the eighth day of the games, with a silver for the youngest team member in the pool, and a bronze for a 14—year—old in table tennis. from paris, andy swiss reports. representing great britain, iona winnifrith! _ she isjust 13. the remarkable iona winnifrith, britain's youngest athlete at these games, but this was the day she proved age is no barrier to brilliance. winnifrith started swimming after watching her brothers train at her hometown in kent. earlier this year, she won two european titles, and in the 100 metres breaststroke, although she couldn't catch the winner mariia pavlova, she produced a lifetime best to take the silver. iona winnifrith in silver medal position! a paralympic medallist at 13. it was, she said, "really cool".

and there was also a medal for britain's second youngest athlete. at 1a, bly twomey was less than half the age of her semifinal opponent, but who needs experience when you can do this? oh, that's beautiful! to the delight of her travelling fans, twomey took the first two games. the final beckoned before a stunning comeback from turkey's kubra korkut ended her hopes. for twomey, though, a brilliant bronze, and surely this is just the start. at a soggy stade de france, meanwhile, they were soaking up more than just the atmosphere. but amid the rain, a ray a british sunshine. a medal in the shot put for anna nicholson. who needs a brolly when you've got the bronze? and there was bronze, too, in the powerlifting as olivia broome seized her moment. a huge roar from the i crowd and from olivia! "it's been a dream," she later said,

on another day of british success. and we have more british hopes coming up in the next few minutes. wheelchair racer sammi kinghorn, who won a gold medal in the 100 metres yesterday will be going for gold in the 400 metres, while in the pool, becky redfern was the fastest qualifier for tonight's breaststroke final. every year, thousands of people in britain suffer from sudden hearing loss in either one or both ears. but many ignore it, thinking it'll resolve itself. now a new study is urging people to seek treatment quickly — within a week — to save their hearing as paddy evans reports. yeah, i was grieving. i was shocked. i couldn't really understand how it had happened. four years ago, caroline woke up one morning to find her world had been turned upside down. immediately, i noticed that i could not hear out of my left ear.

there was a loud screeching, ringing sound in that ear. she had experienced sudden onset hearing loss, a condition which affects a few thousand people each year and can lead to a life changing disability. the doctor said to me that the symptoms were quite common, nothing to worry about, that it was probably an ear infection or maybe some wax. i wasn't too concerned, but it was the point when they said it was permanent that that really shocked me. i was so shocked. then you go into the, well, how am i going to live with this? what caroline did not realise was the urgency of her situation and according to experts here, she is not alone in that, with not enough people getting access to potentially life changing treatment. we are just going to have a quick look in your ear if that is ok. do you have any pain anywhere? no.

meet nish mehta from university college london hospital. he has carried out the largest study of adults with sudden hearing loss in england and wales. our study found that if you received steroids in any form within the first seven days of having had your hearing loss suddenly, you were five times more likely to recover all of your hearing compared to those patients who did not receive steroids within that timeframe. and then we found that 40% of our population had not actually received the treatment at all, or within the timeframe we wanted. so what causes sudden onset hearing loss? there are four potential theories, one of which is that there is an infection that has travelled from the nose and throat to the to the inner ear and caused inflammation. more likely is that each patient probably has a different mechanism that has caused their individual type of hearing loss. not all those who receive steroids will recover their hearing but nish hopes that raising awareness will mean more people are seen before it's too late, at least giving the drug

is a chance to work. i definitely wish that i had known at the time the urgency of the situation and that there was treatment available. for caroline, it is not possible to turn the clock back but she has looked for the positives in a life of hearing loss. my family are really supportive. i think it has probably brought us closer together in a way because before, i was so independent and it really made me realise how much the people in my family are there for me. paddy evans, bbc news. a 14—year—old boy has appeard at leicester crown court charged with the murder of an 80—year—old grandfather. bhim kohli died after suffering injuries during a serious assault while he was walking his dog on sunday evening, just seconds away from his home in leicestershire. the teenager, who cannot be identified because of his age, has been remanded to youth detention. parents are being warned not to take their children anastasija zolotic is at raf camden and then_

in the last few years, they have been fined six times. we were quite happy to pay the fines. we used to think, we willjust pay the fine. and then when it came to, oh, well, we are taking you to court next time, it was like, well, you are encouraging us to lie, then. you are encouraging families to lie because otherwise, they can't go on holiday when they want to. what would you say to other parents who are paying more but are sticking by the rules? that's their choice. this is our choice and that's their choice and everyone has got a choice and it is our right to take them on holiday. but as the rules tightened, the threat of prosecution and a potential criminal record means this year, there will be no term time holidays for this family. life is hard enough. you know, money is tight and things are going up. we all have to go to work. why can't we...? we deserve a holiday. everybody deserves a holiday. and plenty of other parents agree, like rachel, who is waiting for a fine to land on her doorstep for their holiday to portugal last term. we are both working parents and we still struggle. so you don't want to take them out

in school time but if it means it is going to save you thousands of pounds, then the alternative is, that is the best alternative, isn't it? but the government don't agree. they say it is the legal responsibility of parents to make sure their child is in school, to benefit from education, and with unauthorised absences on the up, now they are cracking down. in england, the government wants the rules to be applied equally in every area, and they are increasing the fine from the start of this term. a second fine within three years will be double the price and after a third fine, they want all councils to consider prosecuting parents. but travel agency data shared with us shows that most holidays and flights are more over the summer, with some long haul flights double in price. and that financial pressure is influencing decisions. more and more people are now asking us, what is the price for the week before? what is the price for the week before that? so you can see that they are thinking, looking and thinking, you know, is this worth me risking a fine? but for others who are unafraid

of steep fines, it might be the prospect of prosecutions and a criminal record that makes some parents change their holiday plans. colletta smith, bbc news. tennis now and jack draper has become the first british man to reach a us open tennis semifinal in 11 years. the last man to do so was andy murray. the 22—year—old will have a tough task ahead when he faces the world number one jannik sinner tomorrow. but it has been quite a yearforjack draper, who has had tennis in his blood from a very young age. from new york, here's nada tawfik a breakthrough debut on the largest stage in tennis. jack draper rockets his way... it has been a stunning performance from britain's number one at the us open, storming past his opponent and into his first career grand slam semifinal. you watch these guys winning grand slams on tv and stuff and you think, you know, wow, i'm going to go out

there tomorrow and they are going to be way too good for me. whereas, you know, if you put your game on the court and you do the right things, you know, you do get chances here and there. even the best players in the world, they only win 53%, 54% of the points so it is just about how clinical you are when it really matters. he will meet the world number one and his good friend tomorrow in the semifinals, jannik sinner. jack is playing some amazing tennis, some of the best tennis he is playing up until now. so it is going to be a tough one. british fans here at the us open are excited to watch jack draper progress, especially coming off of andy murray's retirement. but they know his match tomorrow is his toughest yet. i think it is great for british tennis, the way he is probably going to inspire many younger people in their generation to play tennis, just because he is so young. 0h, he's doing amazingly well this year. he's had a good wimbledon and now he is having a superb us open. the 22—year—old first made a splash on the tennis scene in 2018,

getting to the final ofjunior wimbledon. strutting his stuff - on court number one! draper has had to overcome a string of injuries that have held him back until now, but excitement is high that the left—hander can reach his full potential. he was first introduced to tennis as a toddler by his mother, nicky, a formerjunior champion, and his father, roger, used to be the lawn tennis association boss. you always got that feeling from him that it was more than just fun, which it should be for a little kid. you kind of got the impression that he had been here before, he had held a racket on this planet before. draper's star power is on the rise this year, both on the tennis court and in the glamour pages. but will he be able to take it to the next level in new york? nada tawfik, bbc news, at the us open in new york. we will find out tomorrow. time for a look at the weather. here's ben rich.

it has been quite wet for a lot of people and nice for others. exactly, you can't say the weather isn't varied. this was taken today ljy isn't varied. this was taken today by one of our weather watchers in the highlands, blue skies overhead with some warm sunshine. that is what you could have won if you spent your day in the south of the uk, some really heavy rain across parts of kent. some parts of kent saw around 25 millimetres of rain, one inch, in the space ofjust an hour, the sharp showers and thunderstorms now moving into parts of south wales, the south—west of england, still pretty soggy and while the rain might ease for a time, there is more heavy and thundery rain to come across southern parts overnight. further north, a lot drier with some mist and muck around some eastern coasts. quite a muggy night for everyone. —— some mist and murk. tomorrow, many places start the day on a dry note. some of this mist and low cloud towards the north and east tending to retreat towards the coast. a good deal of sunshine across the north and west of the uk. but further south, the rainjust

keeps on coming. heavy, thundery downpours across southern england and into south wales and perhaps the south midlands later in the day. but just to the north of that band of rain, very warm tomorrow, 25, 26, maybe 27. western scotland also seeing some very warm weather with a humid feel. that band of rain in the south tracks northwards during tomorrow night. it will weaken but with low pressure swirling up from the south, that means more rain for some of us over the weekend. again, the rain focused down towards the south on saturday, moving across the channel islands and perhaps southern counties of england, against some of it heavy and thundery. a bit drier and brighterfurther north it heavy and thundery. a bit drier and brighter further north and west. again, feeling quite warm and humid. for the second half of the weekend, a mixture of styles of warm sunshine, a fairamount a mixture of styles of warm sunshine, a fair amount of cloud and still some sharp showers in the south. and before we go, a look at what's on the news at ten tonight, a special report on overcrowding in prisons from inside hmp

pentonville in north london. klaxon sounds.
