Eight people have died and four others have been seriously | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
injured after the minibus they were travelling | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
in was involved in a crash with two lorries on the M1 motorway. | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
It happened on the southbound carriageway near Newport | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
A five-year-old girl is among those who have | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
been taken to hospital - police say she has 'life | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
The two lorry drivers have been arrested, one of them on suspicion | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
of driving while over the alcohol limit. | :00:46. | :00:46. | |
The minibus carrying around a dozen people, | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
many believed to be from the same family, was travelling | :00:58. | :00:59. | |
Also involved in the accident, two large trucks. | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
Images suggest the minibus was crushed between the two huge | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
lorries and broken up into at least two pieces. | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
It happened in the early hours on the M1 motorway southbound | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
carriageway between junction 15 for Northampton and junction | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
14 for Milton Keynes, and caused huge delays | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Fresh marks on the road reveal the desperate attempt | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
The six men and two women who were killed were all travelling | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
in the minibus, as were four others who were seriously hurt, | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
All but one have life-threatening injuries. | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
Both lorry drivers have been arrested on suspicion of causing | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
One is a 53-year-old man from Stoke-on-Trent, | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
and the other is a 31-year-old man from Worcestershire, | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
who is also being held on suspicion of drink-driving. | :01:47. | :01:54. | |
Police say some of the victims may not have been from the UK. | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Some of those involved were visiting the UK from India. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
We're working to keep the families abroad informed. | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
The scene facing officers who attended was complex | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
and the recovery operation was particularly challenging. | :02:05. | :02:05. | |
Tragically, eight people have lost their lives. | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
It's our duty to establish what happened. | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
The M1 motorway, one of Britain's busiest sections of road, | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
was closed here for ten hours on a bank holiday weekend | :02:22. | :02:23. | |
that was always going to see high levels of traffic with people | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
visiting friends or family or major events | :02:27. | :02:28. | |
like the Notting Hill Carnival or the British MotoGP at nearby | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
Both lorry drivers remain in custody. | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
It is not known if the driver of the minibus is among the dead. | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
Exactly what caused this devastating crash remains under investigation. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
This evening the two lorry drivers remain in custody while doctors will | :02:46. | :02:54. | |
be fighting to save the lives of those including the little girl with | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
life-threatening injuries. The police investigation is likely to | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
focus on ---cam evidence, talking to witnesses, possibly even mobile | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
phone records and markings on the road. That evidence is unlikely to | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
emerge for quite some time, possibly until court proceedings are | :03:13. | :03:13. | |
completed. Scotland Yard says a man | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
who attacked police officers close to Buckingham Palace last night | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
drove directly at a police car before reaching | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
for a four-foot sword. The 26-year-old man | :03:22. | :03:24. | |
from Luton, is said to have shouted "God is great" | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
as he launched his assault, Concerned tourists looked | :03:27. | :03:28. | |
on after reports of a terror incident at one of the country's | :03:29. | :03:36. | |
most high-profile destinations. London's Metropolitan Police say | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
that around 8:30pm last night a blue Toyota Prius was deliberately driven | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
into a marked police car in a restricted area | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
near Buckingham Palace. The car stopped and when officers | :03:49. | :03:50. | |
went to investigate they were attacked by a suspect | :03:51. | :03:52. | |
with a four foot sword. CS gas was used as | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
part of the arrest. And during the struggle | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
the individual repeatedly shouted The individual was quickly | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
brought under control. He's a 26-year-old male | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
from the Luton area. I'm glad to say he is now in custody | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
at a central London police station. Detectives believe this | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
was an isolated incident, but confirmed there are searches | :04:13. | :04:13. | |
going on at an address We now know that three police | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
officers were injured No members of the Royal Family | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
were present in the palace at the time, and an official has | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
confirmed it is business as usual Two of the officers involved have | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
been treated in hospital and have There is heightened security | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
across the capital over the bank holiday weekend, | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
particularly for events like the Notting Hill Carnival, | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
where a ring of steel has been promised to protect people | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
from a Barcelona style attack. Meanwhile, police are still | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
appealing for information Spain's King Felipe has joined | :04:49. | :04:49. | |
a march in Barcelona to denounce last week's terror attacks that left | :04:50. | :05:03. | |
15 people dead. He joined thousands of demonstrators | :05:04. | :05:05. | |
who carried banners with the slogan They held yellow and red flowers - | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
the colours of Barcelona. The King's the first Spanish | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
sovereign to take part in a rally since the monarchy | :05:14. | :05:15. | |
was re-established in 1975. Two men have died after their tiger | :05:16. | :05:22. | |

Branch has been informed. Hurricane Harvey has hit the Texas | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
coastline with winds It's the most powerful storm | :05:40. | :05:41. | |
to hit the US mainland The high winds have caused dozens | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
of injuries with some residents feared to be trapped | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
in collapsed buildings. Tens of thousands of homes | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
are without power and there are warnings of flooding | :05:52. | :05:53. | |
in several areas. Our correspondent James Cook | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
is in the city of Corpus Christi. He has an update for us. We're only | :05:56. | :06:07. | |
just beginning to understand the impact of hurricane Harvey. So far | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
thankfully no reports of deaths, but people are still going door to door | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
and checking on friends and neighbours in damaged houses like | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
this one. At the same time, the torrential rain is now moving | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
inland, meaning the authorities are having to deal with the problem of | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
flooding as well as the damage from vicious storm. Are you in here? This | :06:27. | :06:35. | |
is what a category four hurricane means in reality. Searching in the | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
wreckage to find out if your neighbour is dead or alive. It seems | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
that Dan did get out in time. But others like Judy stayed to ride out | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
the storm. Did you sleep? Know I sat there in my shaking bed waiting for | :06:50. | :06:55. | |
my roof to come off. And then about 10:30pm or so it quietens down. | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
There is a tree in my yard, and Betty's house is all gone. On the | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
shore front of Rockport where the eye of this monster storm swept | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
ashore, these men who live in their boats are lucky to be alive. Were | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
you in your post last night during the storm? Yeah. How was that? | :07:13. | :07:18. | |
LAUGHTER No brains! This is a really poor | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
neighbourhood and a lot of people here say they simply don't know how | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
they will now rebuild their lives. This is what they endure through the | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
night, 130 mph winds that left nearly a quarter of a million homes | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
and businesses without power. It was the strongest hurricane to strike | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
Texas since 1961. It's still too early for a conference of assessment | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
of the damage but it will be costly. What's your worst case scenario | :07:51. | :07:59. | |
here? Harvey, that's about as worst-case scenario for a community | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
the size of Victoria. We have never seen a forecast for that kind of | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
localised brain. It is the most dangerous forecast we have ever | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
seen. And the danger is not over yet. The storm is moving inland, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
dumping huge amounts of rain. In Houston the flooding has begun and | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
the forecast is that it will get a lot worse. This disaster is still | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
unfolding. James Cook, BBC News, Corpus Christi in Texas. | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
Sport now - and in rugby league, Hull FC have won the Challenge Cup | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
for the second successive season, after beating Wigan Warriors in | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
In the Wembley sun, Rugby League's day to shine. | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
No club has won the couple more times than Wigan, but it | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Cup holders against record holders, an intriguing contest. Again that | :08:46. | :08:54. | |
could turn on something as small as the bounce of a ball. Wigan were the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
first to read it right, John Bateman with the opening score. The lesson | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
then, don't let it bounce. Fetuli Talanoa didn't, and Hull were ahead | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
at half-time. On the other wing, Mahe for no, he will leave Hull at | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
the end of the season. Here he was leaving his legacy. The narrowest | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
gap was all he needed for his second try. The gap on the scoreboard | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
growing just a little wider. Still, Wigan have a proud Wembley heritage. | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
Joe Burgess's try adding extraordinary late drama. Just a | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
minute left and it was Burgess again who thought he had won it, only for | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
the referee to call a forward pass. Inches in it, but for Hull it was | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
enough. On Rugby league's biggest stage, once again it was the Black | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
and Whites who shone the brightest. Adam wild, BBC News. | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
