Rescue workers race against the clock to try to reach victims

:00:00.:00:00.

There's jubilation as a young girl is lifted out of the devastation.

:00:07.:00:18.

But the rescue effort has been hampered by powerful aftershocks

:00:19.:00:20.

All that dust has been caused by the new aftershock.

:00:21.:00:37.

The death toll from the quake has climbed to nearly 250.

:00:38.:00:44.

Also tonight: Tributes to the five men who died yesterday off

:00:45.:00:46.

The brother of one of the victims describes his family's shock.

:00:47.:00:51.

They don't know how to explain their agony.

:00:52.:00:53.

They are proper confused, they still feel like he is with us.

:00:54.:00:56.

Joy for some - but today's GCSE results are a mixed bag -

:00:57.:00:59.

with top grades falling sharply in England.

:01:00.:01:04.

The assault by Turkey against IS in Syria.

:01:05.:01:07.

We have dramatic images of the latest strike.

:01:08.:01:13.

And he's behind you - Ukip's former leader

:01:14.:01:16.

takes to the stage with Donald Trump in the US.

:01:17.:01:21.

And coming up in Sportsday at half past on BBC News:

:01:22.:01:24.

The English Champions Leicester find out their opponents

:01:25.:01:26.

Arsenal, Spurs, Manchester City and Celtic are also in the draw.

:01:27.:01:51.

Good evening and welcome to the BBC News at Six.

:01:52.:01:54.

Central Italy has been hit by a series

:01:55.:01:56.

They've hampered rescue teams on the ground,

:01:57.:02:01.

who are racing to find survivors of yesterday's earthquake.

:02:02.:02:04.

The death toll in towns near the epicentre has climbed

:02:05.:02:10.

The Foreign Office has confirmed that a number of British citizens

:02:11.:02:19.

are affected. And one of the worst hit places

:02:20.:02:20.

was the historic town of Amatrice. From there our correspondent

:02:21.:02:24.

James Reynolds sent this report. Look at the town of Amatrice and see

:02:25.:02:31.

if you can find anywhere that hasn't been hit. The quake damaged or

:02:32.:02:36.

destroyed much of its historic centre. And it is still a dangerous

:02:37.:02:45.

place. This afternoon, there was a large after-shock. Enough to shake

:02:46.:02:56.

the entire town. The ground has just shaken again here, and the effects

:02:57.:03:00.

were tremendous. Just have a look over here. You will see all that

:03:01.:03:05.

dust has been caused by the new after-shock. I am not even sure what

:03:06.:03:11.

to call it. We heard and we felt the entire tarmac here, the entire

:03:12.:03:17.

ground move. This woman is still recovering from the quake itself.

:03:18.:03:21.

She and her family were sleeping at home when they felt the ground move.

:03:22.:03:32.

TRANSLATION: You can't understand it. It is as if you see the face of

:03:33.:03:38.

death. There was no electricity. A disaster. We didn't know how to get

:03:39.:03:44.

out. One girl underneath this rubble knows what that was like. For 15

:03:45.:03:51.

hours, ten-year-old Julia was trapped. Rescuers found her legs

:03:52.:03:54.

first and they pulled her out to cheers. This is what rescuers have

:03:55.:04:05.

to deal with. In the summer this area is full of foreign tourists,

:04:06.:04:10.

making it much harder to track who survived and who is missing. In

:04:11.:04:15.

Amatrice we watched rescuers search the remains of this house. Two hours

:04:16.:04:22.

later they pulled out a body. Family members stood nearby. This is what

:04:23.:04:30.

the loss of hope looks like. Relief workers clearly exhausted say it is

:04:31.:04:36.

hard to stay optimistic. It is so difficult this man told me. There is

:04:37.:04:41.

a lot of dust. The sniffer dogs are not finding anything.

:04:42.:04:48.

Some survivors have been given a new temporary home in the park. The

:04:49.:04:51.

youngest may have no idea what they have all just lived through.

:04:52.:04:57.

We can go to James in Amatrice now. The rescue efforts continue but

:04:58.:05:04.

realistically, hope must be fading for finding survivors? That is what

:05:05.:05:09.

the rescue workers have said. You can see it in their faces, their

:05:10.:05:13.

expressions of exhaustion. They don't think there is any realistic

:05:14.:05:17.

chance of finding more survivors, but they continue to work and they

:05:18.:05:21.

continue to work through the danger of after-shocks because we don't

:05:22.:05:25.

know how many bodies they have to recover. Here in Amatrice there is a

:05:26.:05:32.

sombre mood. A number of people have said to us, Amatrice is finished.

:05:33.:05:36.

Thank you. Five men who died in Camber Sands

:05:37.:05:41.

yesterday were in their late teens and early 20s,

:05:42.:05:44.

and on a day trip from London - It's believed they got into trouble

:05:45.:05:47.

after failing to realise how quickly Our correspondent Duncan Kennedy

:05:48.:05:50.

is there for us this evening. Well, it is hard to imagine

:05:51.:06:04.

somewhere so beautiful witnessing something so tragic. We know these

:06:05.:06:08.

five men came in their car for a fun day out at the beach and it cost

:06:09.:06:14.

them their lives. Tonight, some of the men have been named and their

:06:15.:06:15.

families say they are devastated. With temperatures reaching 25

:06:16.:06:26.

degrees, the Camber Sands were filled with families enjoying the

:06:27.:06:32.

holidays. The C was crowded with people playing in the sunshine. The

:06:33.:06:36.

only signs of yesterday's tragedy where the volunteer beach patrols

:06:37.:06:40.

out warning people of safety. Tonight, some of the five victims

:06:41.:06:45.

who all came from London have been named. They include two brothers,

:06:46.:06:56.

Kobi and Ken Nathan. There is also Nitharsan Ravi who was 22 years old.

:06:57.:07:01.

His brother said the men had just gone for a fun day out at the beach.

:07:02.:07:07.

My family is very disheartened. They don't have to explain their agony.

:07:08.:07:11.

They are proper confused. They still feel like he is with us, he is

:07:12.:07:16.

amongst us. Especially the four others. He is upset about the

:07:17.:07:20.

parents of them, how are their siblings coping just like me? It has

:07:21.:07:27.

been a very emotional day for us. It is very unforgettable, you know.

:07:28.:07:33.

There were around 25,000 people on the beach when the five men, all in

:07:34.:07:36.

their teens and early 20s lost their lives. Yesterday's tragedy took

:07:37.:07:42.

place extremely quickly. The emergency services were called at

:07:43.:07:48.

ten minutes past two. Just ten minutes later a second person was in

:07:49.:07:54.

difficulty. By 2:35pm, a third person was being pulled from the

:07:55.:07:59.

sea. Then last night, the bodies of the two other men were found in the

:08:00.:08:04.

water. Even today, the witnesses say they were bewildered. I didn't sleep

:08:05.:08:10.

all night. I was just walking around in the bedroom, I couldn't sleep.

:08:11.:08:14.

Did you think twice about coming back today? Yes, we did. For my

:08:15.:08:25.

niece it was the first time, she wanted to go to the beach. Some

:08:26.:08:27.

people have blamed strong currents or rip tides for the death but the

:08:28.:08:30.

RNLI have said the beach can be lethal. There is a lot of difference

:08:31.:08:34.

between the top of the sand bar and the bottom. The tide can coming

:08:35.:08:38.

quickly and people can be cut off and get out of their depth break

:08:39.:08:45.

quickly. The tides travel great distances and also have the power to

:08:46.:08:48.

overwhelm and turn the place of safety and fun to one of tragedy and

:08:49.:08:51.

loss. More than half a million

:08:52.:08:54.

teenagers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland

:08:55.:08:56.

received their GCSE results today. Overall grades are down

:08:57.:08:58.

to their lowest level since 2008 - and have shown their biggest ever

:08:59.:09:01.

year on year decline. The proportion of pupils getting

:09:02.:09:03.

an A* to C has fallen Those top A* grades have also

:09:04.:09:06.

slipped slightly to 6.5%. The overall fall has been blamed

:09:07.:09:16.

on tens of thousands of pupils in England -

:09:17.:09:20.

who last year got less than a C - being forced to re-sit

:09:21.:09:23.

their English and maths. Results in Northern Ireland have

for ministers, as overall This school is helping its pupils

make progress, but here, too, No wonder they look nervous,

:10:00.:10:03.

GCSEs are increasingly high stakes. Anyone who gets a D in English

:10:04.:10:13.

or maths is going to have to resit And the effect of that re-sit policy

:10:14.:10:16.

is already showing up For Corbyn, even though

:10:17.:10:24.

he was chilled before, the relief of getting a B

:10:25.:10:27.

in maths is obvious. With these results I don't have

GCSE results home today, so no government apology

:10:53.:10:55.

for the academic focus, instead, a reminder that

:10:56.:10:59.

employers want qualifications. More teenagers are signing up at

:11:00.:11:12.

colleges like this one. For Sophie and Jade, that meant a check on

:11:13.:11:19.

their maths skills. They got D grades and face resit in until they

:11:20.:11:24.

pass. I have never been good at it. It is not my subject. I don't think

:11:25.:11:29.

they should be forced after they have left school, to come back to

:11:30.:11:32.

college when they have probably got their mind set on because they want

:11:33.:11:39.

to do. This college gets a third of students through maths GCSE resits,

better than the national average, but the principal told me research

student demonstrate a level of competence and knowledge, and

:11:54.:11:55.

different qualifications suit different learners, so for me, it is

:11:56.:12:01.

a challenge. Results stay in England has brought plenty of questions and

:12:02.:12:05.

this is just the beginning. Next year, GCSE maths and English will be

:12:06.:12:09.

even tougher exams. NHS managers have suspended

Some migrants have been spotted off the coast of Kent. They will be

:12:58.:13:01.

questioned later. The Government has restated its goal

:13:02.:13:04.

of cutting net migration to below 100,000, as official figures

revealed it remains at more 327,000 more people came to the UK

of thousands, but as yet there is no clear strategy

:13:57.:13:58.

as to how they'll achieve it, I'm very concerned that we might not

:13:59.:14:01.

have sufficient labour post-Brexit, and I'd like the Government to fully

:14:02.:14:05.

engage with agriculture and horticulture to get a visa

restricted work scheme in place so we have enough people

:14:10.:14:11.

to harvest our crops. There have been suggestions that

:14:12.:14:15.

Britain might expand its Seasonal Agricultural Workers Scheme for low

:14:16.:14:18.

skilled EU migrants, an idea that would prevent people

agriculture, of course. If Theresa May is serious

:14:34.:14:39.

about reducing net migration by two thirds, Britain is going to have

:14:43.:14:45.

in the care sector, in construction, A report today calculates that 5%

:14:46.:14:49.

of all health service staff in England are EU migrants,

one in ten doctors - warning that the NHS could face

:15:00.:15:02.

collapse unless a way is found to retain European staff,

:15:03.:15:05.

but the Government is suggesting a shift away from our addiction

:15:06.:15:09.

to cheap foreign labour. It's not just doctors

:15:10.:15:12.

and professionals. A lot of the sort of jobs

:15:13.:15:16.

we need in the economy, we don't have the skills,

:15:17.:15:19.

and I think the challenge for us is to the apprenticeship programme,

:15:20.:15:22.

through the training programmes that they go on the train

:15:23.:15:24.

to make sure British people This part of Kent voted

to where they belong, really. Our country is ruined

:15:34.:15:38.

now, isn't it? There are no houses for us,

:15:39.:15:41.

there are no jobs. I'd like them to do

:15:42.:15:43.

what we voted for, really, which is to make it much lower,

in the majority of them. The Brexit vote didn't resolve

:16:02.:16:07.

the immigration debate. If anything, it has prompted

:16:08.:16:10.

new and vital arguments. Rescue workers are racing against

:16:11.:16:30.

the clock to try to reach victims trapped by the Italy earthquake.

:16:31.:16:32.

Turkey sent more tanks into Syria today -

:16:58.:17:00.

as part of its offensive against the group calling

:17:01.:17:03.

It's Turkey's biggest intervention in Syria's five-year war -

:17:04.:17:10.

and with the help of Syrian rebels has focused so far on the former

:17:11.:17:14.

Today the BBC obtained dramatic pictures of the assault.

:17:15.:17:17.

From the border, our Turkey correspondent

Savouring the liberation from jihadists.

"The heroes are inside Jarabulus," says a rebel soldier.

:17:35.:17:36.

Exclusive pictures showing Syrian fighters entering a stronghold

:17:37.:17:38.

The offensive began yesterday morning.

:17:39.:17:48.

Syrian rebels backed by Turkey preparing for battle.

:17:49.:17:54.

The aim, to push Islamic State out of the key border town that it had

:17:55.:17:58.

But Turkey had another target too, its commander telling

:17:59.:18:03.

fighters, "Kurdish separatists have emptied Arab towns

:18:04.:18:05.

Pushing back the Kurds was a Turkish priority in the offensive.

:18:06.:18:18.

Turkish tanks launched the operation, firing first

:18:19.:18:20.

from Turkey before crossing over the border.

:18:21.:18:35.

That paved way for a ground offensive by hundreds

:18:36.:18:38.

of rebel soldiers, meeting limited resistance.

:18:39.:18:40.

Villagers along the way were barren, emptied by Islamic State.

:18:41.:18:42.

We will never know what happened to the residents.

:18:43.:18:44.

Here, a fighter orders buildings and cars searched for fear

:18:45.:18:55.

And then they reached it, a triumphant entrance into Jarabulus.

:18:56.:19:05.

The infamous Islamic State black once marked their vicious rule

:19:06.:19:07.

but they seem to have withdrawn even before the assault.

:19:08.:19:14.

"In the name of Allah, we promised and we kept

:19:15.:19:22.

Jarabulus has been completely liberated, people

:19:23.:19:25.

And so Islamic State has been cleared with the warning

:19:26.:19:30.

Victory is sweet but fierce battles lie ahead.

:19:31.:19:36.

Turkey has been pushed from the sidelines of the anti-IS coalition

:19:37.:19:44.

to reading this offensive. Mainly because Turkey is using this to go

:19:45.:19:48.

after other big enemies, the Syrian Kurdish militia. And tonight, are

:19:49.:19:51.

warning from the Turkish government that until the Kurdish fighters

:19:52.:19:56.

withdraw completely, Turkish troops will remain in northern Syria.

Jeremy Corbyn has arrived in Scotland to take part

:20:01.:20:02.

in the latest round of hustings in the race for the

:20:03.:20:05.

He's due to speak alongside his rival Owen Smith

:20:06.:20:08.

in Glasgow this evening from where our Scotland Editor,

:20:09.:20:10.

How far our Labour's problems in Scotland likely to play out in these

:20:11.:20:21.

hustings? They are bound to come up because winning back Scotland is

:20:22.:20:26.

absolutely crucial for Labour. Don't forget they lost 40 of their 41

:20:27.:20:30.

seats here in the last general election. If they cannot win back

:20:31.:20:35.

some of them, it will be impossible to form another government in

:20:36.:20:39.

Westminster. Can Jeremy Corbyn and do that? There was excitement when

:20:40.:20:41.

he first became leader that he might win back support from the SNP but

:20:42.:20:47.

since then, Labour had been hammered in the Scottish elections, coming

:20:48.:20:50.

third behind the Tories. Since Jeremy Corbyn became reader there

:20:51.:20:54.

has been a surge in support in the Scottish Labour Party, doubling

:20:55.:20:59.

their numbers to 23,000, but in context, the SNP's membership is

:21:00.:21:04.

over 120,000. That shows you the skill of the problem. There is also

:21:05.:21:10.

been a bit of controversy about whether Jeremy Corbyn would agree to

:21:11.:21:14.

a packed with the SNP. He was asked about that today and he said he is

:21:15.:21:18.

not looking for an alliance but did not completely rule out some kind of

:21:19.:21:21.

pact, and that is something he is likely to be asked about tonight.

:21:22.:21:24.

Nigel Farage has spoken to thousands of Republican supporters

:21:25.:21:27.

The outgoing Ukip leader said he wouldn't tell American

:21:28.:21:33.

people how to vote - but he stressed the party

:21:34.:21:42.

could "beat the pollsters" in the race for the next US

:21:43.:21:44.

Our Chief Correspondent Gavin Hewitt was watching.

:21:45.:21:47.

Mississippi is now Donald Trump country!

:21:48.:21:48.

Donald Trump tries to fire up his controversial campaign.

:21:49.:21:53.

His theme, to the surprise of some, the lessons of Brexit.

:21:54.:21:59.

I am going to invite onto the stage the man behind Brexit

:22:00.:22:07.

and a man who led brilliantly the United Kingdom Independence

:22:08.:22:09.

Donald Trump didn't quite know where to find Nigel Farage

:22:10.:22:18.

but the former Ukip leader said he came with a message of hope that

:22:19.:22:22.

little people could take back control of their destiny.

:22:23.:22:30.

We made June 23rd our Independence Day when we smashed

:22:31.:22:35.

Nigel Farage didn't explicitly endorse Donald Trump

:22:36.:22:39.

but he was dismissive of his opponent.

:22:40.:22:43.

But I will say this, if I was an American citizen,

:22:44.:22:46.

I wouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.

:22:47.:22:56.

So how does Nigel Farage being here help the campaign for Donald Trump?

Well, the Trump campaign wants their TV audiences to see

:23:03.:23:07.

the candidate not as extreme or divisive but part of a much

:23:08.:23:09.

Then it was back to the political roughhouse.

:23:10.:23:17.

And afterwards, the verdict on Nigel Farage?

:23:18.:23:21.

Many here believe they were in the same fight as Britain.

:23:22.:23:25.

We love him, he's wonderful, an inspiration to us.

:23:26.:23:29.

And we want to do the same thing, we want to take our country back

:23:30.:23:33.

Are you comfortable being seen as an ally on stage

:23:34.:23:38.

Well, look, you know, there was nothing tonight in that

:23:39.:23:43.

speech that he gave, I don't think by anybody,

:23:44.:23:45.

could be construed as extremist or unpleasant.

:23:46.:24:01.

Nigel Farage left, his moment in American politics

:24:02.:24:03.

over, but he stepped into a fierce political battle

with Hillary Clinton today denouncing the Trump campaign

Picture the scene, or better still, sketch it.

:24:15.:24:16.

That's exactly what 800 people in a Welsh fishing village have been

:24:17.:24:19.

More than 2000 sketches of their local environment -

:24:20.:24:23.

and what it means to them - go on exhibition today.

:24:24.:24:25.

Our Wales Correspondent Sian Lloyd reports from Fishguard.

:24:26.:24:27.

Every drawing tells a story - of daily life in Fishguard.

Artist Lizzie Stonhold often sketches the coastline

:24:32.:24:32.

here but she has also been encouraging members of the local

:24:33.:24:35.

Beauty can be found in so much and I think we wanted to capture

:24:36.:24:57.

that in the project by showing the beauty in the mundane

:24:58.:25:00.

and familiar as well as the dramatic and a unique.

:25:01.:25:02.

This is a project for everyone to feel part of, including

:25:03.:25:05.

Its success is not measured by the drawings themselves but by

:25:06.:25:09.

It's nice to do something new and something outside

:25:10.:25:12.

And it's good to feel that the rest of the community is doing

:25:13.:25:16.

It's the North Breakwater, we pass it as we go out

:25:17.:25:20.

Once you come home, you know you are safe again,

:25:21.:25:24.

especially in some of the weather we go out in.

:25:25.:25:26.

For the past ten months, people have been out

:25:27.:25:28.

and about sketching, their progress documented as part

:25:29.:25:30.

It caught the imagination of players at the local rugby club,

:25:31.:25:34.

and firefighters have also been reporting what they see.

:25:35.:25:37.

Not all of us feel naturally inclined to draw,

:25:38.:25:41.

but through a series of workshops, this project has sought

:25:42.:25:43.

More than 2500 sketches have been made and even this one will be

:25:44.:25:49.

Mine was a hurried effort but every drawing is being exhibited in sheds

:25:50.:25:55.

And there is still a chance for a few more to be included.

:25:56.:26:01.

I have been drawing a car and sheds and a fruit and veg shop.

:26:02.:26:07.

I like very precise drawings with a lot of detail in them.

:26:08.:26:14.

The sketches will eventually be added to an online archive

:26:15.:26:16.

A record of the project that turned the residents

And it is a bank holiday weekend coming up. I was looking? It is

:26:28.:26:40.

looking a little bit mixed. Mixed fortunes in terms of the weekend

:26:41.:26:44.

weather. Today, mixed fortunes as well. Some glorious sunshine. He was

:26:45.:26:49.

the scene in Argyll and Bute. We have also had some warm sunshine

:26:50.:26:53.

towards the south-east as well. Many countries have seen a lot more

:26:54.:27:00.

cloud. The areas where likely to see rain across parts of the South West

:27:01.:27:04.

of England, up towards Wales, into northern England as well over the

:27:05.:27:07.

next few hours. The odd rumble of thunder. Towards the South East,

:27:08.:27:13.

things are looking drier. Further north, outbreaks of rain and some

:27:14.:27:19.

surface water around. For Northern Ireland, further rain pushing in

:27:20.:27:22.

from the west later on. And for Scotland, dry to end the day

:27:23.:27:26.

although there will be scattered showers from the West. Through

:27:27.:27:30.

tonight, swathes of cloud, rain and thunderstorms pushing gradually

:27:31.:27:33.

further east, so it will clear away from all but the far south of

:27:34.:27:38.

England. Mild and muggy, around 18 degrees. Elsewhere it will be

:27:39.:27:44.

fresher and clearer to start the day. Once we lose those showers, it

:27:45.:27:50.

is shaping up to be a fine day. England and Wales staying dry with

:27:51.:27:52.

plenty of sunshine. Scotland and Northern Ireland, just a few showers

:27:53.:28:03.

but less humid than it has been. For Saturday, most of us that dry but

:28:04.:28:07.

there will be brain working north across central part of England and

:28:08.:28:10.

Wales. Some uncertainty on the detail but it looks like low

:28:11.:28:13.

pressure will be in charge as we head into the second part of the

:28:14.:28:16.

weekend. Some rain around for some of us on Sunday but it looks like

:28:17.:28:20.

many of us will have dry weather by the time we get to Monday. And a

:28:21.:28:29.

reminder of our main story. Rescue workers are racing against the clock

:28:30.:28:33.

to reach victims trapped by the Italy earthquake. A series of

:28:34.:28:37.

powerful after-shocks has struck the centre of the country, hampering

:28:38.:28:39.

rescue efforts. That's all from the BBC News at Six,

:28:40.:28:40.

so it's goodbye from me and on BBC One we now join the BBC's

:28:41.:28:43.

news teams where you are.
