who has gone missing. A little baby, we can't

find him anywhere. TRANSLATION: We do not know how many

deaths there are going to be. We're still searching,

but the first thing I want to say is that my heart, our hearts,

the hearts of all Colombians, are Many roads have been washed

away or are blocked, making it difficult to get rescue

teams into the area, which is without power

and running water. Troops and volunteers are searching

for survivors. Heat-seeking cameras and drones are being flown over the

debris. The Red Cross says it's

crucial to find survivors Three days on, the death toll is

expected to rise. Six people are being questioned

about an attack on an asylum seeker standing at a bus

stop in south London. The 17-year-old boy,

who's Kurdish Iranian, was left with a fractured skull

after being subjected to what police Simon Jones is at the scene

for us in Croydon now. The police are continuing to

question four men and two women. Officers say the 17-year-old was

standing at this. Late on Friday evening when he was approached by a

group of around eight people. They asked him where he was from, he said

he was an asylum seeker and at that point they started chasing him up

the street here. Just round the corner there is where he sustained

the attack, suffering several blows to the head. He remains in a serious

but stable condition in hospital. Officers believe the attackers then

ran in the direction of that pub over there. This morning we have

seen police cars driving around in an attempt to reassure the local

community. I have been speaking to people here, who say they are very

shocked at hearing what happened. They describe this as a diverse

community, something out of the ordinary. The police are continuing

to appeal for witnesses. They believe certain people in the area

tried to stop this attack taking place, tried to stop the attackers

from carrying on, but at that point the attack only came to an end when

they heard sirens coming as the police were approaching, having been

called by people witnessing what was going on.

Thank you. A university student has paid

to guarantee migrant workers will still be able to work

in the NHS after the UK A cross-party group of MPs

is warning that Brexit It comes as the Defence Secretary,

Michael Fallon, declined to rule out the possibility that freedom

of movement could continue The Brexit negotiations got under

way this week to great fanfare and letters. Theresa May wrote to the EU

to trigger Article 50, the EU in return published draft guidelines on

its strategy, but as expected there was no detail on the content of the

deal and this morning Michael Fallon would not be drawn on whether the UK

would have full control over its immigration system by 2020. If you

are speculating about the cause of the negotiations, they haven't even

started yet. Rule it out. We are not expecting to take advantage of the

freedom of movement of people because we are not going to be

members of the European Union. You can't give me any timetable. We

can't give a timetable on negotiations that have started. The

Government will want to avoid setting time limits on such a thorny

issue as immigration, but today a group of cross-party MPs wrote an

open letter calling on the rights of EU staff in the NHS to be protected.

Because we have 140,000 EU nationals working in our NHS and social care

sector, caring for our sick and elderly, we think they should be

given an NHS guarantee that they will be able to carry on working in

the NHS. They need that certainty and those rights. Theresa May has

made it clear she wants the rights of EU nationals in the UK and UK

nationals in the EU to be a priority in these negotiations. Immigration

was a key issue in the campaign, it will be again.

At least 18 people have been injured, including three children,

after the lighting of a carnival bonfire went wrong at an event

A huge inquiry into child sexual abuse by members

of the Catholic Church is drawing to a close in Australia.

The four-year-long inquiry, which has uncovered more than 8,000

abuse survivors and heard allegations against more than 500

priests, is being closely watched by the Vatican.

Shining a light on Australia's most trusted institutions.

For some, the level of abuse exposed by the Royal Commission has been

difficult to comprehend, but for Peter Gogarty it's

As a boy, Peter was sexually abused by his parish priest.

It lasted for six years, but it took another three decades

He believes the Catholic Church is still failing to protect children

by refusing to make it mandatory for abuse mentioned in confession

What they are doing is saying "we are more prepared to protect

an offender than we are to take care of this child and future

The Church hasn't responded with one voice.

Australia's archbishops have spoken of shame and negligence,

over ?160 million has been paid in compensation,

but there has been no change on issues like confession.

I think it would be a tragedy if the privacy of the confessional,

if you like the privileged communication in the

Even if that means abuse goes unreported?

I think what is needed is a protocol, if you will.

The Catholic Church isn't the only body that has come

under close scrutiny during Australia's four-year inquiry.

It's heard allegations of abuse at 4,000 different institutions

from orphanages and care homes to schools and sports clubs.

The common thread - a failure to listen to the victims.

Now voices are being heard, the issues raised here

But for Australia's abuse survivors, the impact remains the same.

A portrait of Chairman Mao by Andy Warhol has sold at auction

Warhol began a series of famous silk screen paintings of Mao in 1972,

using a photograph of the then communist leader from his

But for years the paintings were considered subversive and have

not been exhibited in mainland China.
