Freetown collapsed on Monday, it caused floods to engulf the area of

:01:48.:01:53.

Regent which is a settlement on the outskirts of the city. We can show

:01:54.:01:58.

you some pictures of the flooding as it happened here, a shocking

:01:59.:02:02.

reminder of what happened on Monday. This is the aftermath, a bird's eye

:02:03.:02:06.

view which shows you now how widespread the destruction was. This

:02:07.:02:13.

is the continuing attempts to find survivors among the wreckage, aid

:02:14.:02:20.

agencies worry but they are trying to find any survivors. Now today a

:02:21.:02:24.

one-minute silence was held in Freetown to remember those who lost

their homes and families. These are the scenes. The president of Sierra

urgent support. The UN is listening and we got a briefing today from the

spokesperson saying they are working with the rescue operation and trying

to stop the outbreak of diseases like cholera and typhoid. There was

Mugabe hit her over the head. She released this photograph of the

In a statement the South African police confirmed that graced the

:05:30.:05:33.

is requesting diplomatic immunity for the first Lady. The police

emphasise she is here to attempt private -- to attend private matters

important political figure head of the country's elections next year. A

special port from Saudi Arabia were hundreds of civilians have

:06:18.:06:21.

reportedly fled a town after weeks of fierce clashes between government

:06:22.:06:26.

forces and Shia militants. The Shia dominated town is in the east of the

:06:27.:06:29.

country here and as a majority Sunni country as you may know. So the Shia

:06:30.:06:34.

community in this particular town has long complained of

:06:35.:06:37.

discrimination, things turned violent in May when the Saudi

:06:38.:06:42.

apparently to make way for a apparently to make way for a

:06:43.:06:46.

development project. The government said it is back in control but we

:06:47.:06:49.

wanted to show you what is left of the town. It is practically in ruins

:06:50.:06:55.

and that is the situation, precarious security situation. One

:06:56.:07:00.

more picture I want to assure you, that shows what takes place. The

:07:01.:07:04.

bullet marks and pockmarks overhaul of the buildings.

:07:05.:07:13.

We have rare access to this site. This is the level of security needed

:07:14.:07:17.

to visit Awamiyah. A Shia dominated town in the east of the Sunni

:07:18.:07:25.

conservative Saudi Arabia. Over the past weeks there have been violent

:07:26.:07:30.

clashes here between government forces and groups of Shia fighters.

:07:31.:07:38.

At least dozens were killed including civilians and police

:07:39.:07:42.

troops. Only very few journalists managed travel here. As you can see,

:07:43.:07:48.

in order to reach Awamiyah you have to take this armoured vehicle and be

:07:49.:07:52.

in the company of police and special forces. The government says it is in

:07:53.:07:59.

control now by the security situation is quite tense. As I look

:08:00.:08:03.

through the window I can see that the town is almost deserted. The

:08:04.:08:09.

scale of devastation here is shocking. As we entered the place of

:08:10.:08:14.

the government ex-cop bash Mac escort we see what is left of a once

:08:15.:08:20.

vibrant residential area. A large Shia community used to live here.

:08:21.:08:27.

They have long protested against what they call discrimination. The

:08:28.:08:33.

confrontation to a violent turn last May when the authority started to

:08:34.:08:37.

demolish the area as part of what they see is a development project.

:08:38.:08:43.

Shia groups accuse the government of forcing people to leave with the aim

:08:44.:08:48.

of crushing dissent. But even today the fighting is not over yet. They

:08:49.:08:55.

just asked us to leave and we have to go at once because it is not safe

:08:56.:09:01.

to stay. The Saudis say they are also targeted, these videos released

:09:02.:09:07.

by the Ministry of the interior show attacks from police forces in the

:09:08.:09:12.

area. The minister told us it was terrorist groups have behind the

:09:13.:09:18.

unrest, it accuses them of indiscriminately killing civilians

:09:19.:09:22.

are using them as a human shield. It was impossible to independently

:09:23.:09:25.

verify these accounts inside Awamiyah. But I managed to speak to

:09:26.:09:33.

a man who fled this place and is now seeking asylum in Germany. We cannot

:09:34.:09:38.

identify him for security reasons. This man insists he personally never

:09:39.:09:44.

took up arms but he can understand why some people dead. When we went

:09:45.:09:51.

out in peaceful protest security forces dispersed as with live

:09:52.:09:55.

ammunition. He can be sentenced to death only because you are a Shia

:09:56.:09:59.

and you belong to a different religious sect. When you're

:10:00.:10:04.

humiliated and deprived of your freedom you can -- you can just a

:10:05.:10:11.

quiet, someone should you you will definitely should back. Lacking

:10:12.:10:18.

Awamiyah, fighters are still believed to be hiding among the

:10:19.:10:21.

rubble. But the reasons for the unrest are still very much present.

:10:22.:10:32.

A leading Iranian opposition figure has been under house arrest for six

:10:33.:10:37.

years has begun the hunger strike. He was detained for his part in mass

:10:38.:10:42.

protests over the disputed result of the presidential election back in

:10:43.:10:47.

2009. I have been talking to our correspondent and asked her to tell

:10:48.:10:52.

us more about this man. He is an 80-year-old Shia cleric who

:10:53.:10:58.

has been a politician until seven or eight years ago and then he turned

:10:59.:11:01.

into an opposition leader because he was one of the candidates who

:11:02.:11:07.

disputed the results of the presidential elections in 2009 and

:11:08.:11:11.

six and half years ago without any trials be supreme leader decided

:11:12.:11:18.

that the other candidates had to go under house arrest because you're

:11:19.:11:22.

asking people to get on the streets and dispute the result.

:11:23.:11:26.

What does it mean to be under house arrest? What links that he has two

:11:27.:11:29.

Basically nothing, it is worse than Basically nothing, it is worse than

:11:30.:11:32.

a prison. His contact with family members is limited, he does not have

:11:33.:11:38.

Internet access, we have heard he can only watch state television and

:11:39.:11:42.

he only has very radical newspapers to read. His family members, only

:11:43.:11:48.

his children can see him once per week. He does not have time to

:11:49.:11:50.

out, I am not sure whether there is out, I am not sure whether there is

:11:51.:11:56.

kept. One of the demands he has made kept. One of the demands he has made

:11:57.:12:01.

on his hunger strike, he said he wanted the security officers to

:12:02.:12:05.

leave the house. Because he has police, armed police

:12:06.:12:08.

with him? Exactly, reportedly dead at least 12

:12:09.:12:12.

security officers at any given moment in the same house where he

:12:13.:12:17.

is. He followed -- if he was at a prison he would have a cell and

:12:18.:12:20.

privacy but under house arrest which is totally illegal, you does not

:12:21.:12:24.

have any of the rights of any other prisoners.

:12:25.:12:27.

He is not saying let me free, he is saying let me go to court?

:12:28.:12:34.

She has made two demands, one is for the security officer to leave and

:12:35.:12:37.

stay out of the premises where he's being kept, and the other is that he

:12:38.:12:42.

wanted trial. He wants a public trial because for six and half years

:12:43.:12:47.

he has technically been in prison without any trial. And there is

:12:48.:12:50.

something of a sense of urgency here because you have been hearing his

:12:51.:12:54.

health is, well he is vulnerable. He is, only a couple of weeks ago he

:12:55.:12:58.

put a pacemaker in his heart. He is put a pacemaker in his heart. He is

:12:59.:13:05.

80 years old, he is not that young. He has been in detention for years

:13:06.:13:09.

now. He is not very well and we suspect that he has decided that if

:13:10.:13:14.

he's going to die he is not going to die in silence. He will make a big

:13:15.:13:18.

deal out of this. Do stay with us, still to come, we

:13:19.:13:23.

have the latest on the devastating floods that have killed more than

:13:24.:13:26.

215 across carrier the HMS Queen Elizabeth has

:13:27.:13:42.

sailed into port for the first time. She's one of the largest and most

:13:43.:13:45.

powerful warships ever built the Royal Navy. Theresa May health is a

:13:46.:13:50.

symbol of the UK's great global status.

:13:51.:13:51.

The Royal Navy has never had a ship of this size before.

:13:52.:13:54.

HMS Queen Elizabeth overshadowed everything around her.

:13:55.:13:57.

Including Portsmouth harbour, now her new home.

:13:58.:14:03.

A day to remember for the crowds who woke up early to see her in.

:14:04.:14:07.

And even a touch of nostalgia for when Britain ruled the waves.

:14:08.:14:13.

I think it makes the country feel a lot safer.

:14:14.:14:22.

It puts you, you know, above everybody else

:14:23.:14:24.

For the past seven weeks the 700 crew have been testing her systems.

:14:25.:14:28.

It is the most complex warship ever built in the UK.

:14:29.:14:32.

A symbol of power and pride for the Navy.

:14:33.:14:35.

But they believe, for the whole nation too.

:14:36.:14:39.

It puts us, the Royal Navy and the British armed forces,

:14:40.:14:41.

I think for a global, outward facing country

:14:42.:14:47.

like the United Kingdom, as an island nation,

:14:48.:14:49.

completely dependent on sea trade, why wouldn't you want a strong Royal

:14:50.:14:52.

This is a big moment for the Royal Navy.

:14:53.:14:58.

Its largest warship entering Portsmouth for the very first time.

:14:59.:15:03.

It is also its most expensive warship.

:15:04.:15:04.

And it still needs jets, and other warships to protect her.

:15:05.:15:12.

At a time when the Ministry of Defence is having

:15:13.:15:14.

This former naval officer says the Navy is already

:15:15.:15:22.

struggling to crew just 19 frigates and destroyers.

:15:23.:15:24.

Certainly right now there are not enough ships to protect it,

:15:25.:15:27.

there are not enough submarines to run in advance of it.

:15:28.:15:30.

And this is the worry, if we are not even in a situation right now,

:15:31.:15:33.

having delivered the platform itself, to protect the ship,

:15:34.:15:35.

On her first visit on board, the Prime Minister said the ship

:15:36.:15:40.

sent a signal that Britain remains a global power.

:15:41.:15:44.

It will be another year before the first jets fly off

:15:45.:15:47.

The new F 35 will also cost around ?100 million each.

:15:48.:15:51.

It is a significant investment and a signal of ambition.

:15:52.:15:53.

But it will stretch already limited resources.

:18:58.:19:04.

relentless monsoon rains across Bangladesh and Nepal and India have

:19:05.:19:08.

killed more than 250 people. We will show you first the state of North

:19:09.:19:13.

East Anglia -- north-east India and nearly 10 million people have been

:19:14.:19:18.

affected by flooding there. If we go to Nepal the situation there is that

:19:19.:19:24.

the severe rain has affected 20% of the constables are population and

:19:25.:19:26.

then looking at Bangladesh that has also been badly hit. There is a map

:19:27.:19:32.

I want to bring up for you now, the areas in red show you the part of

:19:33.:19:35.

the country that are underwater. That is over one third of the

:19:36.:19:39.

country. Some pictures to show you what has been going on, this is one

area people wading through floodwaters. Many have had to leave

their homes and Alan Woodside shelters, this is Nepal where it is

mainly the southern lowlands that are affected. But this is Bangladesh

were several rivers have burst their banks. The Army has been deployed.

:19:59.:20:06.

He says is an editor for the World Service has been telling me more

:20:07.:20:09.

about how difficult the situation is. The Bangladeshi authorities said

:20:10.:20:14.

more than 100 people had been killed due to the floods triggered by the

:20:15.:20:19.

remonstrance. One third of the country under water as you explain

:20:20.:20:23.

to those pictures, it clearly shows how difficult the situation has

:20:24.:20:27.

been. The people have been going through immense hardships. Then

:20:28.:20:36.

areas of 67 metres wide that are flooded. The water passes through

:20:37.:20:41.

India and into Bangladesh, which is a low-lying country. Most of the

:20:42.:20:47.

houses are inundated with water and people are not willing to move out

:20:48.:20:50.

of their houses for fear that somebody might come and take away

:20:51.:20:55.

the bits. As you saw in the picture, people are sitting inside the houses

:20:56.:21:03.

in needy water trying to get on. They may not get them thinking what,

:21:04.:21:07.

there could be a shortage of food and people are scared and might be

:21:08.:21:12.

an outbreak of waterborne diseases. If they were persuaded to go for the

:21:13.:21:17.

health above all work and to? The government has set up quite a

:21:18.:21:21.

few shelters in the northern part of the country, but moving from their

:21:22.:21:24.

homes to these shelters is a struggle because you have to go

:21:25.:21:29.

through various waterways in other Bangladesh villagers, and the roads

:21:30.:21:36.

are slightly elevated, and most of the area so low-lying survey will

:21:37.:21:39.

have been flooded. They need to find the right road and path in the

:21:40.:21:42.

shelters and it is not clear that they will get enough food or belief

:21:43.:21:47.

material in the shelters even though the government has been trying to

dispatch, many areas are not easily reachable.

Two years ago in Chile the remains of this mysterious dinosaur were

:21:58.:22:00.

found. They claim to be frank and staying dinosaur because it had the

:22:12.:22:14.

In the mountains of Chile, researchers discover a dinosaur,

:22:15.:22:16.

the like of which has never been seen before.

:22:17.:22:20.

Back in their lab in Buenos Aires, they carefully cut through

:22:21.:22:23.

the sandstone to find a bizarre skeleton.

:22:24.:22:28.

They named their dinosaur Chilesaurus.

:22:29.:22:29.

This animal had a real mix of features from different

:22:30.:22:32.

It's hip bones were like those of plant eaters such

:22:33.:22:39.

And its arms and body were like those of meat eaters such

:22:40.:22:47.

And so, Chilesaurus became known as the Frankenstein dinosaur.

:22:48.:22:54.

But now a British researcher who studied the skeleton believes

:22:55.:22:56.

Chilesaurus has been revealed to be the missing link

:22:57.:23:05.

between one group of dinosaurs, which includes things

:23:06.:23:07.

like Stegosaurus and Triceratops, and another group of dinosaurs

:23:08.:23:09.

which includes things like Tyrannosaurus Rex.

:23:10.:23:10.

It really is the missing piece of the puzzle.

:23:11.:23:16.

Tyrannosaurus Rex and Stegosaurus were thought to be in different

:23:17.:23:18.

branches of the dinosaur family tree.

:23:19.:23:22.

But the researchers have shown that they are both

:23:23.:23:24.

The Frankenstein dinosaur now fits in perfectly,

:23:25.:23:27.

as an earlier animal that came before them, which is why

:23:28.:23:30.

This reassessment is important, because it will radically change

:23:31.:23:38.

the theory of how dinosaurs evolved and split into different groups.

:23:39.:23:44.

Chilesaurus is there at the beginning of one

:23:45.:23:46.

And hopefully, by understanding more about its biology,

:23:47.:23:52.

it will tell us what the kinds of driving factors leading to those

:23:53.:23:55.

The Frankenstein skeleton was once a puzzle, but now it

:23:56.:23:59.

could be the key to explain how dinosaurs evolved.

:24:00.:24:01.

Just time to remind you that it is 40 years after the King's death, we

:24:02.:24:17.

have a few pictures to show you with fans of Elvis Presley holding a

candlelit vigil at his home in Memphis, Tennessee.

gathered at Graceland while tribute concerts have been playing his

greatest hits. I remember another of years ago now going to this

:24:33.:24:36.

commemoration at Graceland and I can tell you from experience that is

quite an experience, the feeling, the atmosphere and the fans all

We have seen a fair bit of sunshine for the first part of the week,

perhaps more rain to come during the second half of this week. By the end
