are really pleading for people not to engage in speculation, particularly online because already, particularly online because already, particularly online because already, particularly on german social media we have seen all sorts of rumours and false information flying around. of course in a situation like this which is ongoing and where a lot of people feel very insecure, it is more important than ever that people do not engage in that sort of speculation and that is a real worry of the police right now. something they were mentioning in that press conference. a dj who was playing music at the festival says he was asked to keep on performing to avoid making the situation worse. translation: everything was going well. _ i started djing at the festival, but suddenly after ten to 15 minutes, someone came up to me on stage and told me, "we don't know "much but there was a stabbing, please keep playing, "we don't want a mass panic." so i carried on djing.

earlier this month has been charged with corruption. federal investigators have accused sandip ghosh of financial irregularities at the facility in kolkata and he has been critcised for not acting promptly when the victim's body was found. the rape and murder of the doctor has sparked widespread protests and angere across india. the main suspect, a police volunteer, has already been arrested. italian officials have opened a manslaughter investigation, into the deaths of seven people on board a luxury yacht, which sank off the coast of sicily on monday. the british tech entrepreneur mike lynch, his 18—year—old daughter, hannah, four of his friends and the yacht�*s cook died, when the boat went down. bethany bell reports from sicily. it's been a long, dangerous and complicated recovery operation for the luxury bayesian yacht which sank off porticello harbour early on monday morning with 22 people on board.

now, formal details have begun to emerge as to what happened and how seven people lost their lives, as those involved in the rescue spoke for the first time. translation: the boat sank- on the stern side and then it turned on its right side down in the sea, and that's why those on board sought refuge in the cabins on the left side, because that's where the air bubbles formed. they found the first five bodies in the first cabin on the left side, and the other body in the third cabin on the left. we found all of them in the high part of the boat. the prosecutor also officially confirmed the identities of the dead. hannah's body was last to be found on friday. the day before, they recovered mike lynch's body. on thursday, they found the bodies ofjonathan bloomer and his wife judy, chris morvillo, neda morvillo. the body of the yacht�*s chef recaldo thomas was found earlier this week. officials say the yacht sank likely not because of a waterspout

but because of a localised powerful wind that descends from a thunderstorm and spreads out unpredictably. translation: these phenomena happen really suddenly. _ downbursts last only a few seconds so it's difficult for satellite systems to recognise it precisely, but according to the data we can surmise that this was a downburst. the investigation is at a very early stage. the prosecutor's office is looking into potential crimes of negligent shipwreck and manslaughter. they stressed that they are not investigating anyone specifically at the moment. there are plans to recover the yacht from the sea bed but the operation is likely to be complex and costly. it could take months before there are clear answers. bethany bell, bbc news, termini imerese. as we've been reporting, the prosecutor in the case said the yacht had been hit by a "downburst". our weather presenter ben rich

explains this phenomena. well, downbursts and waterspouts both form in association with thunderstorms, and they can cause quite similar sorts of damage, even on land we get reports sometimes of tornadoes that actually turn out to be not tornadoes but other features of thunderstorms including downbursts. now, what is a downburst? well, inside a thundercloud, we have very turbulent motion, we have winds racing upwards and downwards very, very rapidly. there is a lot going on inside those storms and sometimes winds will rush out of the bottom of a storm cloud, so you get essentially a gust of wind that is blowing downwards towards the ground. that then hits the ground and spread out in all different directions. it is like, just like i, you know, put air down on this table, it would reach the table and then it would spread out. so it is exactly like that. they are small, localised powerful features that can cause huge amounts of damage.

waterspouts and indeed these downdraughts are not that uncommon. now, in this case, we had low pressure in the mediterranean around that time so that gives the unstable atmosphere allowing these big stormclouds to go up. the other thing we had was very high sea temperatures, so record sea surface temperatures in the mediterranean. all of thatjust gives more energy into the atmosphere to provide these powerful storms. more on that story on our website. now it's time for a look at today's sport. to golf and world number one nelly korda had a three—shot lead after a blemish—free 68 in the second round of the women's open at st andrews. the american started the day 8—under with england's charley hull — who led after round one — and defending champion lilia vu her closest challengers on 5 under. plenty of change thouthane dougall is at the old course in scotland, what's the latest?

the leaderboard is changing almost as quickly as weather here. charley hull was on a five under starting for the day. she then went to six under but has dropped two shots after a double bogeying the fifth, thatis after a double bogeying the fifth, that is a hole she has birdied twice. and that double bogey could cost her because she has dropped to four under and the world number one, nelly korda, is back up to eight under which is how she started her third round. she did have quite a tricky start. she bogeyed the first two holes but then bogeyed the third and fifth, so she is back to where she was when she began. the defending champion lilia vu is six under and out of nowhere, the golfer

from korea is in second place after an impressive six birdies in her first front nine. hull has spoke about how much she does enjoy links courses and the creativity she has to find. she would help to find three shots out of nowhere because she has been battling with the elements. as you can see, it is pretty windy, we have had rain, now we have sunshine but it will be tough for her if she is to catch nelly korda. tough for her if she is to catch nelly korda-— packed day of english premier league action with seven matches on saturday. in the early kick off, manchester united were stunned on the south coast at brighton. joao pedro's winner in the fifth minute of injury time gave fabian hurzeler�*s side all three points and sent them back to the top of the table. the seagulls had led in the first half through danny welbeck�*s hundreth premier league goal but amad diallo's second—half equaliser got united back into it before joao pedro's late intervention.

two wins from two for brighton. i think we deserved to win. we made a good game, not a perfect game, there were also situations where united had the chance to win but in the end it is deserved and i am very proud of the team. they showed the value of never giving up and that is very important. there's a real tasty tie to look forward to later as big spending aston villa host arsenal, while defending champions manchester city are at home to ipswich town. but it was the newly promoted side who took a shock lead at the etihad, sammie szmodics with the goal before order was restored. erling haaland with two goals and kevin de druyne with one. totte n ha m tottenham hotspur currently leading 2-0 at tottenham hotspur currently leading 2—0 at home to everton. i—i between fulham and leicester city. in formula i, mclaren�*s

lando norris has taken pole for sunday's dutch grand prix. norris beat out home hero and championship leader max verstappen by nearly four tenths, becoming the first driver other than verstappen to take pole since the race returned to the calendar in 2021. norris' team—mate oscar piastri will start third on the grid. to old trafford in manchester for day four of the first test with sri lanka. how quickly things can change. england began the day in the driving seat, having reduced the tourists to an 82 run lead but with only four wickets remaining. however, it's been a totally different story on saturday, dinesh chandimal and kamindu mendis putting on a dominating batting display to help sri lanka to a lead of 205. england are now batting and the test very much still in the balance. england currently 78—3 now, which means they are needing 127 runs to win. that's all the sport for now.

police have arrested two more men on suspicion of murder after a woman and her three children died in a house fire in bradford. the fire killed bryonie gawith and her three children aged nine, five, and 22 months. our correspondent yunis mulla is in keighly — ten miles from bradford. he told us what we know right now. overnight, searches have taken place of properties at four separate locations here in keighley — at least three are within walking distance of each other — as part of this murder investigation that was launched by west yorkshire police. warrants were executed and west yorkshire police say that a 35—year—old man and a 46—year—old man were arrested on suspicion of murder and remain in police custody. now, bryonie gawith, who was 29, and her three children, denisty who was nine, her brother oscar who was five, and aubree who was 22 months died as a result of a blaze around ten miles from here in bradford.

at the time, a 39—year—old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. he remains in a critical condition in hospital. now, clearly the police say the family are devastated at what has taken place. they are appealing for any information that may help them as part of their investigation. and what they are saying today is that extensive inquiries remain ongoing and this remains an active and live investigation. to ukraine now, and president zelensky has used a speech on the country's independence day to say russia's invasion has failed. he said moscow had tried to destroy his country, but instead war had returned to the russian soil. it's also been announced that the two sides have each exchanged 115 prisoners of war after the united arab emirates acted as an intermediary. the russian personnel were captured during the offensive in kursk. drjames burch hosts

a ukranian family in the uk and victoria murych is a community development coordinator in lancashire. i am very proud to be ukrainian and when people ask me what is your superpower, i always respond, i am ukrainian. i believe our people are very courageous and i'm sure everything will be ok in our country because we are fighting very desperately. i am sure our country will definitely be independent. when i relocated to the uk, they started to cook and work with other refugees with ukraine and cooking, it was how we could keep our national identity, how we could bring feelings of home because home was always a place

you could feel smiles and tastes of your favourite recipes. that is how our idea started and that is how we decided to create this cookbook. we are looking at some of the gorgeous images of some of the foods you have been making. food is incredibly important to the ukrainian community, isn't it, victoria ? yes, because food is central element of celebration, like life events and occasions. that is why we included in our recipe books, different recipes, easy to make foods to festive foods. also we took foods from different areas of ukraine, we took recipes from historically the south areas in ukraine and of course we included lots of recipes

from western parts of ukraine. delicious! dr birch, i'm sure having hosted a ukrainian family since the start of russia's full scale invasion, you have been able to experience the ukrainian culture, the food not least that victoria was deliciously describing for us. how important, how big a change has it been on your life hosting a family? i guess it to a certain extent it has been an enhancement. we have a family with us, a mother and son, and they have been incredibly considerate guests and they have enhanced our lives in the way victoria was elaborating. i recognised all sorts of foods there and i am pretty sure when they have departed from us, in generations to come, our family will still have some of those recipes and will be using them. but also it is the wider ramifications of the food

and the history of ukraine, things we were not even aware of. it certainly wasn't on our radar until all this happened. it has been, you know, it is not only us it has enhanced but the whole community because our guests, alla is part of the writing of that cookbook, the son is now off to university, prestigious university, having done his a levels here. we have been very privileged to be part of their life journey. we cannot understand what they are going through but we can support on the sides by giving them safety and security. so that has been a very positive experience. our thanks to doctor birch and victoria for speaking to us to mark

ukraine's independence day today. the paralympic flame has been lit at the hospital in stoke mandeville in buckinghamshire here in the uk where the idea for the games was born. the torch will then begin itsjourney to paris — ahead of the opening ceremony on wednesday. more than 4,000 athletes will take part in the games. the stoke mandeville games were first held in 19118 for a small group of wheelchair athletes who had sustained spinal injuries during world war ii. those later grew into the first paralympic games, which took place in rome in 1960. it was then in 2012 ahead of the london paralympics where the heritage flame ceremony took place for the first time in stoke mandeville and now this year is the second such ceremony. in the next couple of hours we are expecting to hear from nasa on how they plan to bring the two astronauts who are stranded on the international space station — back to earth. nasa had previously said that sunita williams and barry wilmore might have to remain on the space station for at least

eight months after the boeing spacecraft that took them into space injune, for what was meant to be eight days, suffered technical problems. we will of course bring that press conference to you live as and when it happens. really interested to hear what they plan to do about those astronauts are stuck on the international space station. lots more on our website. do stay with me here on bbc news, i will be back in just a few moments. hello. in some places the weekend has not got off to the brightest of starts. in fact, it was a thoroughly soggy saturday morning in some southern and eastern areas. that was how it looked for a weather watcher in cromer. further north and west, yes, some sunshine, but also a scattering of hefty showers.

this is the earlier satellite picture with this stripe of cloud that's been providing the very heavy and persistent rain. brighter skies following on behind. so as that stripe of cloud clears the east coast, it will take the rain with it, but a line of heavy, thundery downpours following on behind. further north and west, the southwest of england, wales, northern england, northern ireland, scotland, it is a mix of sunny spells and showers. some of those showers will be thundery. still quite windy out there and those temperatures really quite disappointing. 1a to 19, maybe getting to 20 degrees. now through this evening and tonight, we will continue to see some showers, particularly across northern and western parts. further south, most of the showers will fade and then late in the night, we'll see more cloud and some bits and pieces of rain getting into northern ireland. a rather cool night for the time of year, temperatures quite widely down to around 8 or 9 degrees. so many places starting sunday on a dry and relatively bright note, but this frontal system pushing in from the west will bring outbreaks of rain. for some, that rain getting

into northern ireland quite quickly, then spreading northeastwards, across southern and central portions of scotland, parts of north west england, wales. to the south of that largely dry, patchy cloud and sunny spells. not looking too bad in the north of scotland, but it is going to be quite a windy day. in fact, parts of northern england, for example, could see wind gusts of 40mph or more. temperatures may be climbing just a little bit, we're looking at highs of 15 to 20 degrees north to south. as we head on into monday, which is of course a bank holiday for most of us, this little ridge of high pressure does try to build, so we do see more in the way of dry weather, some spells of sunshine, areas of cloud bubbling up in the sky through the middle part of the day, maybe giving one or two showers, and then it looks like our next frontal system will bring rain into northern ireland later in the day. but it is going to start to feel just a little bit warmer, and higher temperatures will be a feature of the coming week, particularly down towards the south. more rain further north and west.

bye for now.
