Good afternoon and welcome to the BBC News at One. | :01:52. | :02:17. | |
At least 14 people have been killed and more than a million people have | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
been affected by the destruction wrought by Hurricane Irma as it | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Millions of people are still under threat. | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
The massive storm - one of the most powerful Atlantic | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
hurricanes ever recorded - was over Haiti yesterday and caused | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
widespread damage in the British Virgin Islands overnight. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Cuba is the next major country in its path - | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
it's due to hit the island later today. | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
Irma is then expected to make landfall in | :02:48. | :02:49. | |
In our first report, Jon Donnison has the latest | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
on the destruction across the region. | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
Hurricane Irma is proving to be relentless. | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
The British territory of the Turks and Caicos Islands among the latest | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
The wind has dropped but only slightly, still | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
This was the moment Irma passed over the British Virgin Islands. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
And this is what is left in its wake. | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
The major warning was when a skylight was blown off of our roof. | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
You could hear the winds blasting through the upstairs | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
of our house and at that moment, you thought the roof might go. | :03:32. | :03:34. | |
That was the warning to get the hell downstairs into the basement, | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
the most secure part of the building. | :03:38. | :03:41. | |
A state of emergency has now been declared. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
All of us have been affected by Irma, some more than others. | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
Alongside the damage, there have sadly been reports | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
My thoughts and prayers are with each and every one of you. | :03:56. | :04:09. | |
Viewed from space, Irma looks almost serene but at 400 miles wide, | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
it's massive and it is now heading west to Cuba. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
There, people are doing what they can to secure their homes | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
TRANSLATION: Look at the state of the houses that people have here | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
and you will realise the magnitude of the hurricane. | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
What really worries me is that it will take the whole roof away. | :04:33. | :04:45. | |
Just north in the Bahamas they have also been getting ready | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
People have been stockpiling fuel and food. | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
Hurricane Irma has already left a trail of destruction | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
The island of St Martin is one of the worst affected areas. Dutch | :04:58. | :05:14. | |
troops are on the streets to try to maintain | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
order:. The Red Cross says 1.2 million | :05:20. | :05:20. | |
people have already been affected and that that figure could rise | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
to 29 million by the end of the weekend when the storm's | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
due to hit Florida. There, 7,000 National Guard have | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
been brought in to help, with the National Weather Service | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
warning large parts of the state could be left uninhabitable | :05:32. | :05:33. | |
for weeks or even months. With a storm surge of up to three | :05:34. | :05:44. | |
metres expected, half a million people have taken to the roads after | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
being ordered to leave their homes. Two days after Hurricane Irma first | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
hit land, the worst could still be to come. And another storm, Jose, is | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
sweeping in from the Atlantic. The fringes of the storm have | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
already begun to hit Cuba. The sense seems to be it will get | :06:02. | :06:14. | |
worse where you are later in the day. That's right, Jane. It's been | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
another anxious 24 hours for Cubans, they've had to watch this storm | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
gradually get closer and see the destruction that it's wrought across | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
the Caribbean in its path towards them, it's been an unsettling time | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
here on the island. We have seen the authorities here evacuate large | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
parts of the east of the island and the northern coastline, that's | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
obviously where a lot of tourists are based too, because of course | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
people are heading to the low-lying coastal zones, that's where resorts | :06:46. | :06:49. | |
are and so on. There has been an effort to bring them here to other | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
bigger cities. At this stage it's beginning to turn into a crossing | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
your fingers and praying situation. People are getting together with | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
families, schools have obviously been cancelled for the day. We have | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
just heard as well that flights out of Cuba have been cancelled with the | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
state-run aviation companies. A precarious situation here in Cuba | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
and people waiting and watching. Thank you very much. Let's hear more | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
about the situation in the Bahamas. Our correspondent Nick Bryant | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
reports from the Bahamas Overnight this monster storm hit the | :07:26. | :07:33. | |
Turks and Caicos and now it is starting to hit the Bahamas as well. | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
No longer category five, category four but it still packs winds of | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
over 150mph and brings the storm surges 20 feet high. Five low-lying | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
Islands here are particularly under threat which is why they've mounted | :07:52. | :07:55. | |
the biggest evacuation operation in its history, hundreds brought here | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
to the capital Nassau. It seems especially cruel that they are being | :08:01. | :08:04. | |
hit again, less than 12 months ago they were pulled by hurricane | :08:05. | :08:05. | |
Matthew. The Prime Minister will chair | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
an emergency Cobra meeting this afternoon to discuss the response | :08:10. | :08:10. | |
to Hurricane Irma. The Royal Navy delivered aid and | :08:11. | :08:22. | |
three flights took off this morning taking marines and engineers. | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
Another will leave RAF Brize Norton later | :08:30. | :08:31. | |
It comes amid criticism that the UK hasn't responded | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Duncan Kennedy reports from RAF Brize Norton. | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
The loading operation at Brize Norton included tents, water and | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
medical supplies. 30 loads at first, with more to come. Everything from | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
ready made meals to an industrial fridge unit. Around 70 Royal Marines | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
are also on board with a range of skills and experience of working in | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
disaster areas. The base commander rejects claims Britain has been slow | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
to respond. It's very important that we understand the effects of the | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
hurricane, where is open to us, where we can get to safely and | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
that's what we have been doing the past 24 hours. Now we are ready to | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
make the right judgments about where they can deliver that aid and we | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
will do that as quickly as possible. The French have already established | :09:19. | :09:24. | |
a base and its operation seems more advanced. British Naval helicopters | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
have been in Anguilla working off a Navy auxiliary vessel but it's the | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
speed of Britain's input that's been criticised today. What we definitely | :09:34. | :09:40. | |
need to see is a sustainable, if not continued and permanent commitment | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
to support the development of Anguilla, at present, we have had | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
precious little support of significant quantities and we need | :09:50. | :09:53. | |
that now. Britain says it has responded as rapidly as possible. | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
And is now offering more than ?30 million of help. The fact is we had | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
a Royal Naval vessel in the region because we knew the hurricane was | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
coming. This is hurricane season. In fact, we are always prepared. This | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
is one of a number of RAF jets heading to the region. In all there | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
will be something like 300 Royal Marines on the ground over the space | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
of the next two or three days. Even when they arrive there, no one is | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
fully clear yet what their operational role is going to be and | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
where they can get to. The race to get help to the people | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
of the Caribbean now involves operations from more than a dozen | :10:32. | :10:32. | |
countries. The Government is also sending | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
longer term relief aid to the Caribbean from the UK Aid | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
disaster relief stockpile in Kemble in Gloucestershire | :10:41. | :10:43. | |
and Phil Mackie is there for us. What's happening there, Phil? It's | :10:44. | :10:55. | |
been very busy here, Jane. This vast hangar is filled with aid material, | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
you can see pallets ready to be loaded. I think that's the third | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
lorry load we have seen this morning. All kinds of stuff here, | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
from vehicles, even a mobile field hospital. This is what's going out | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
to the Caribbean. These pallets contain this sort of equipment, for | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
instance, portable lanterns that can be charged using this, it uses solar | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
power. But, you can use that to charge up your phone and probably | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
most importantly of all, this little water container. You power in the | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
water and it comes out clean, filtered and drinkable at the end. | :11:30. | :11:37. | |
This is run by Difod, you heard the Secretary of State talking in that | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
report about the effort going on, they've obviously been criticised. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
They're saying originally this was going to go out to Gibraltar to be | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
loaded on to HMS Ocean which might mean it didn't reach the Caribbean | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
for at least a week or so. Now they've charter flights. Three lorry | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
loads will be getting to the Caribbean in the next couple of | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
days. They've said shelter kits have already arrived on Anguilla and are | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
about to be delivered to the British Virgin Islands and it's doubled its | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
presence and they've promised it's not short-term relief t will be | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
long-term relief planned for the British territories which have | :12:14. | :12:16. | |
suffered because of Hurricane Irma. Thank you. | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
The storm has already had a deadly impact across the Caribbean. | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
Matt Taylor from the BBC weather centre is here to talk us | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
through what the next few days have in store. | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
Yes, certainly not done yet. As you heard, the recent areas to feel the | :12:32. | :12:41. | |
wrath of Hurricane Irma have been low-lying areas of Turks and Caicos | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
and the southern Bahamas. These are low-lying areas, nothing to stop the | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
path of that raging storm as it goes across. Nothing to hinder its | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
progress. It has weakened a little to category four but still winds of | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
over 150mph. And they could still strengthen over the days. It's | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
continued to push west wards, it may clip the northern portion of Cuba. | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
The crucial thing could be where the eye of that storm is. The strongest | :13:09. | :13:14. | |
of the winds. If it remains over open waters it will maintain | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
strength. The water is key to keeping the ingredients there for | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
that storm to maintain its strength. We need temperatures over 27 degrees | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
for hurricanes to last. All the yellow colours where we have that, | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
notice in around Cuba and also Florida, the orange colours, | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
temperatures are above 30 at the moment. As it moves over that there | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
could be potentially further strengthening. Into the weekend it's | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
for the storm to take a sudden northern track, pushing in somewhere | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
between Key West and Miami and piling across the entire length of | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
Florida, perhaps dropping up to 350 millimetres of rain. The residents | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
of Florida are rightly concerned, the last category five storm to hit | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
was a devastating one. The strongest and most devastating storm in | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
Florida's history, hurricane Andrew, the warnings may have improved, | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
building methods may have improved but people fear devastation could be | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
on power - on par with that. Katia could push into Mexico through this | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
weekend and also the devastated island of Barbuda could get that as | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
well. Miami, all eyes are there in the Caribbean. Thank you very much. | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
To Miami now. As we've been hearing, | :14:36. | :14:38. | |
Florida is bracing itself for the storm's impact over | :14:39. | :14:40. | |
the weekend and more than half a million people have been ordered | :14:41. | :14:43. | |
to leave their homes in the state The head of the federal emergency | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
agency there has said the storm will devastate the United States. | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
CBS correspondent Meg Oliver is in Miami. | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
What's happening there, Meg? Jane, the director of Fema also said he | :15:00. | :15:07. | |
can guarantee that nobody in Florida has ever experienced anything like | :15:08. | :15:10. | |
Irma. As you can imagine, ominous words. People are doing their best | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
to prepare, this gas station is boarded up, it's still open and they | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
have some supplies but they have run out of gas along with the other gas | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
station across the street and several other stations throughout | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
the area. Meantime, people lucky enough to fill up with gas after | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
waiting in long lines yesterday are now trying to outrun this terrifying | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
storm. Miami's mayor called it a nuclear hurricane. Today, is the | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
final day, preparations need to be made and people need to evacuate if | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
they have been ordered to do so. They're also asking if you have | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
family or friends in Florida and you can go there to be safe, that's a | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
better option. They really are discouraging people from getting on | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
the highways any later than right now. We know that shelters have | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
started to open up and people are flooding those shelters. They're | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
asking them to bring three days' worth of food and water. This is | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
going to be a catastrophic, epic storm. We have no idea what the | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
aftermath is going to look like. They are going to need supplies. | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
Thank you very much. You can keep up-to-date with all the | :16:15. | :16:28. | |
elements surrounding Hurricane Irma. There is lots of background, | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
information and maps on the BBC website. | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Now we'll take a look at the rest of the main stories this lunchtime. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
A review of the criminal justice system in England and Wales has | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
found bias and discrimination in its treatment of people | :16:45. | :16:45. | |
from black and minoirty ethnic backgrounds. | :16:46. | :16:47. | |
The inquiry, commissioned by the government and led | :16:48. | :16:49. | |
by the Labour MP David Lammy, raises particular concerns | :16:50. | :16:51. | |
The report calls for some prosecutions to be dropped, | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
if suspects complete a drug or alcohol rehabilitation programme. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
Noel Williams was 11 when he first got involved in gangs. | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
By the age of 13, he was in for robberies and drug | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
A lot of bullying goes on, and as we say, | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
a lack of prison staff, so they don't really pick | :17:18. | :17:19. | |
If they're not cutting their arm, they are trying to kill themselves. | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
He has now turned his life around but | :17:26. | :17:26. | |
believes race and ethnicity play a part in how you are treated and | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
punished within the criminal justice system. | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
And if you look at the sort of sentences that we | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
get, they are longer, harsher, and people are coming out not | :17:38. | :17:40. | |
Sometimes they're coming out and reoffending at a more | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
accelerated rate than their counterparts. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
The Lammy Review makes a number of key | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
recommendations, which include allowing some prosecutions to be | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
deferred and possibly dropped if a treatment programme for issues | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
such as drug or alcohol problems is | :17:58. | :17:59. | |
Removing identifying information about | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
ethnicity when cases are passed from police to prosecutors so racial | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
bias doesn't influence charging decisions. | :18:08. | :18:09. | |
And not declaring criminal records for minor offences | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
I am very concerned about the youth justice | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
system, and that's the pipeline into our adult | :18:19. | :18:20. | |
very, very serious that the figures are quite as bad as they are. | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
I'm very worried about our prison system, where I do think there are | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
still prisons where it is clear that there is an overt discrimination | :18:31. | :18:33. | |
going on, and some of the treatment is just unacceptable. | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
The Government says it will look very carefully at | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
What struck me about the report too was the reality | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
that very large numbers of British people from our black and | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
ethnic minority communities lack confidence in the criminal justice | :18:56. | :18:57. | |
It's one of the largest reviews of its kind in highlights | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
that radical reform is urgently needed to bring fairness to the | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
Hurricane Irma continues to cut a trail of destruction | :19:06. | :19:21. | |
At least 14 people have been killed and a million affected. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
And still to come: It's been a frustrating morning at Lord's, | :19:27. | :19:28. | |
but can England's cricketers recover from a bad start with the bat | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
Coming up in sport: Fifa are to investigate | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
Tottenham's Dele Alli after TV pictures showed he made an offensive | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
gesture during England's 2-1 win over Slovakia on Monday. | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
The midfielder said it was just a joke. | :19:41. | :19:55. | |
A 13-year-old girl who died from a brain aneurysm has helped | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
a record eight different people, including five children, | :19:59. | :19:59. | |
Jemima Layzell, from Somerset, who died in 2012, donated her heart, | :20:00. | :20:07. | |
pancreas, lungs, kidneys, small bowel and liver. | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
Jemima's parents said she was clever, compassionate | :20:13. | :20:14. | |
and creative, and would have been very proud of her legacy. | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
This is Jemima, the 13-year-old who, after she died, transformed more | :20:18. | :20:27. | |
In 2012, she collapsed while preparing for | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
Four days later, Jemima died from a brain | :20:34. | :20:39. | |
It was only recently that staff at NHS Blood and Transplant | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
Her organs were donated into eight different people. | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
No one else in the UK has helped that many through organ | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
Jemima's parents say they are extremely proud of their | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
She has saved the lives of eight others, but she's also helping other | :21:01. | :21:12. | |
families with brain injury through her charity. | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
I think she'd be completely overwhelmed. | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
She would think it was extraordinary, and I | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
don't think she could quite believe it. | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
She was quite a modest person, and to think that everyone was | :21:28. | :21:30. | |
talking about her, she'd be a real mix | :21:31. | :21:31. | |
of embarrassed and proud at the | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Last year, 456 people died waiting for a transplant, | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
There are currently 6414 people on the | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
There are thousands of people waiting for a | :21:45. | :21:54. | |
If you would be willing to accept an organ, you should be | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
willing to donate, and that's what we're | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
asking people to consider and | :22:02. | :22:02. | |
then make that decision that they will support organ donation. | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
Jemima's parents say their sure she would be proud of her legacy. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
They hope other families will be encouraged to talk about organ | :22:13. | :22:14. | |
donation and sign up to the register. | :22:15. | :22:16. | |
At least 20 people have been killed after an earthquake with a magnitude | :22:17. | :22:27. | |
The quake, which the president described as the strongest to hit | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
the country in the past 100 years, struck just off the Pacific coast, | :22:32. | :22:33. | |
shaking buildings in the capital, Mexico City, hundreds of miles away. | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
The tremor is reported to have lasted about a minute. | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
Mexico is a country used to earthquakes, but not of this | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
This was a bowling alley in the southern state of Chiapas. | :22:45. | :22:55. | |
600 miles away, in Mexico City, the tremors lasted | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
Some people left buildings, preferring to stay outside on the | :22:58. | :23:04. | |
Many could still remember the last massive earthquake in 1985, | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
I was a child when this earthquake in 1985 happened, | :23:08. | :23:22. | |
and this was the biggest one, and it was pretty violent. | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
A lot of panic scenes on the street, and in my | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
building also, so really, this earthquake was something huge. | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
As pictures start to emerge from the worst hit areas, the death | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
The fear is there may be more to come. | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
TRANSLATION: So far, there have been 65 | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
However, it's possible that over the next 24 hours | :23:49. | :23:58. | |
we could see a shock that is as strong as the earthquake. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
The epicentre was 40 miles down, just | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
Tsunami warnings have been issued to surrounding countries. | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
In Mexico itself, as daylight arrived, the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
extent of the damage will become all too clear. | :24:14. | :24:22. | |

Aung San Suu Kyi should do more to protect the Rohingya Muslims | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
fleeing the ethnic violence in the region. | :24:34. | :24:35. | |
The UNHCR estimates that more than a quarter of a million people | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
have sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh in the past two weeks. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
The population of two refugee camps at Cox's Bazar, | :24:44. | :24:45. | |
near the border with Bangladesh, has more than doubled | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
in a fortnight, with 70,000 people setting up camp there. | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
Sanjoy Majumder is there and sent us this update. | :24:54. | :24:58. | |
Those are relief trucks bringing in aid for the Rohingya refugees, | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
mostly local volunteers, but some international groups as well - | :25:02. | :25:03. | |
food, medicines, some have been distributing clothes. | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
And it is for those people here, the latest batch | :25:09. | :25:10. | |
Because there is no space anymore left in | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
the camps, they're just sitting by the side of the road. | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
If you come over here, you can see that they're | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
even cooking a meal just here in this temporary kitchen | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
Now, it's been raining overnight, so conditions are really, | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
There's so much mud and water everywhere, and you | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
can see women and children just sitting here, absolutely no | :25:33. | :25:34. | |
protection, just by the side of this busy road. | :25:35. | :25:41. | |
Now, over the last 24 hours, 18,000 new refugees have come | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
in, and the situation is becoming close to a crisis point. | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
I've been travelling up and down this road for | :25:51. | :25:52. | |
the past seven days, and I've never seen it so crowded. | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
It's getting to a point where Bangladesh's prime | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
minister said yesterday, she wants pressure | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
take all these people back home, back to where they belong. | :26:06. | :26:12. | |

The Democratic Unionist Party says one of its MPs, Ian Paisley, | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
has 'rightly' referred himself to the Parliamentary | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
The Daily Telegraph claims he failed to declare tens of thousands | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
of pounds in hospitality from the Sri Lankan Government. | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
Ian Paisley said the article was 'devoid of fact or logic'. | :26:31. | :26:33. | |
BBC Northern Ireland's political editor Mark Devenport is in Belfast. | :26:34. | :26:41. | |
Explain more about this, Mark. The front page story on the daily | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
Telegraph today was about Ian Paisley, North Antrim MP and son of | :26:49. | :26:51. | |
the late founder of the Democratic Unionist Party. It is said he took | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
himself and his family to Sri Lanka on two separate holidays in 2013, | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
all expenses paid by the Sri Lankan Government. When you added the | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
business lights, helicopter flights and hotels together, it came to | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
around ?100,000 in hospitality which had not been declared in the MPs' | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
register of interest. Ian Paisley responded first by social media and | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
then via a letter from his lawyer, saying this story was devoid of | :27:22. | :27:24. | |
logic and fact and he would be referring himself to the | :27:25. | :27:27. | |
Parliamentary Commissioner for standards. The DUP, who play a vital | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
role in Westminster at the moment, propping up the Conservative | :27:32. | :27:34. | |
Government, saying they think he has made the right move and they are | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
looking forward to the outcome of the investigation by the standards | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
Commissioner. Mark Devonport, thank you. | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
After cycling more than 2000 miles in three weeks, | :27:47. | :27:47. | |
Britain's Chris Froome is on course to become only the third man | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
to complete the Vuelta a Espana and Tour de France double | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
The four-time Tour winner leads the race by a minute and 37 seconds | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
with two competitive stages to go ahead of Sunday's | :27:58. | :28:00. | |
Thed behind the handlebars - Chris Froome within touching distance of a | :28:01. | :28:14. | |
remarkable double. Not for nearly 40 years has a cyclist won the tours of | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
France and Spain in one summer, a total of 4200 miles in barely two | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
months, perhaps the ultimate feat of endurance. Wearing the leader's red | :28:26. | :28:29. | |
jersey, Froome is on the road to glory. He began yesterday's stayed | :28:30. | :28:34. | |
with a lead of one minute, supported by a phalanx of Team Sky riders | :28:35. | :28:40. | |
coming he set about extending it. He had struggled earlier in the week, | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
but this time he found another gear, powering across the line with his | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
nearest rival trailing behind him. It means Froome now has a commanding | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
lead, and he says the help of his team-mates has been crucial. They | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
have been amazing the last three weeks, and they have always been | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
there for me when I have a tough days, and on better days like today, | :29:02. | :29:05. | |
they were there to increase the pace. Nice to increase my lead by 21 | :29:06. | :29:11. | |
seconds. That quite significant and I might need every second I can get. | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
If Froome can hold on, he will join a highly select group. Only two men | :29:17. | :29:20. | |
have ever won the tours of France and Spain in one year. For Froome, | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
it would cement his status among the true greats of his sport. Two tours, | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
two titles, one extraordinary athlete. Andy Swiss, BBC News. | :29:35. | :29:39. | |
It's been a frustrating morning at Lord's, with rain delaying much | :29:40. | :29:42. | |
of the morning's play in the decisive third Test match | :29:43. | :29:44. | |
There was just enough play for England to lose a wicket, | :29:45. | :29:48. | |
Our sports correspondent Joe Wilson is at Lord's for us | :29:49. | :29:52. | |
There is a reason why cricket isn't played in the autumn. This Test | :29:53. | :30:03. | |
match is stretching the season. But the play we see is fascinating - | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
England batting, trying to seize any moments they had vital time for the | :30:10. | :30:20. | |
aspiring Dawid Malan. Yes, I can do this. At the crease here, maybe the | :30:21. | :30:25. | |
world's best all-round cricketer. Ben Stokes batting. And perhaps it | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
was his growing stature that drew the Prime Minister to laws. Stay | :30:30. | :30:38. | |
prepared for anything. Suddenly, Malan's innings was over. England | :30:39. | :30:45. | |
were five wickets down, and the drizzle turned heavy. Even if the | :30:46. | :30:49. | |
West Indies captain would try to ignore it, where I YouGov in? | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
England's batsmen sought the chance to leave before any more damage was | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
done. Remember, West Indies only scored 423 in their first innings, | :31:01. | :31:07. | |
but with England 50 runs behind, every run will be crucial when the | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
rain relents. Joe Wilson, BBC News, at Lord's. | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
Let's find out about that. Matt has rejoined me. | :31:16. | :31:21. | |
Low pressure is nearby, so expect to see more scenes like this. There are | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
some gaps between the clouds. The cloud across the South is bringing | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
longer spells of rain this afternoon. Heavy rain, too. North | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
and west of that, some sunshine between the showers. Always a bit | :31:38. | :31:43. | |
more cloud in Northern Ireland and southern Scotland. Temperature wise, | :31:44. | :31:46. | |
disappointing for an early September. Barely getting into the | :31:47. | :31:51. | |
high teens. The rain in the south-east corner cleared away | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
tonight. Showers continue in western areas tonight, with the breeze. | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
Central parts drier, but also cooler, temperatures down into | :32:01. | :32:06. | |
single figures. You might get to see scenes like this across the northern | :32:07. | :32:14. | |
half of the UK. Into the weekend, it starts on a cool note. Showers and | :32:15. | :32:19. | |
rain at times, and it will turn increasingly windy as well. A | :32:20. | :32:22. | |
weekend to choose your plans carefully. Saturday will bring a | :32:23. | :32:29. | |
story of sunshine and showers. The showers are most prevalent across | :32:30. | :32:37. | |
parts of England and Wales. Slow-moving showers in northern | :32:38. | :32:42. | |
England and parts of the Midland, so lengthy downpours for people there. | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland, a slightly better day tomorrow than | :32:47. | :32:53. | |
today. A brief ridge of high pressure to get us through Saturday | :32:54. | :32:56. | |
night into a chilly start on Sunday. More weather fronts gathering. | :32:57. | :33:03. | |
Outbreaks of rain will spread from west to east. Feeling cool once | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
again. By the end of the day, we could see gales across the West as | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
we finish Sunday, potentially severe gales to start the week on Monday. | :33:13. | :33:21. | |
That's all from the BBC News at One, so it's goodbye from me. | :33:22. | :33:24. |
