The police say the accusations against the 3 include bodily harm, and the attempted bribery of an official. Olly foster reports. After two nights in Police Custody, Harry Maguire, seen here at the rear in the light blue shirt, faced the regional prosecutor on the island of syros today. Hes now free to return to the uk, but his legal team are due back in court on tuesday to try and clear the Manchester United captains name. He was arrested with two other men on the neighbouring island of mykonos on thursday night. Police there claimed they had to break up a fight outside the bar. Three men were accused of assaulting and verbally abusing an officer before a further altercation at a police station. Yesterday, he was taken by boat back
to syros to spend another night in a police cell before his appearance in court this morning. What isnt clear is the exact nature of the charges Harry Maguire faces. The file opened against the three men also alleged one of them attempted to bribe an official. Maguire has had a rapid rise in the game, a key player for england, reaching the world cup semifinals two years ago. He became the worlds most expensive defender when he joined united for £80 million last summer. The club released a short statement after their captains appearance in court they say the adjournment will give their lawyers the time to fully assess the case, and they have confirmed Harry Maguire has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Three countries have been added to the quarantine list in the uk. From 4am this morning, anyone arriving from croatia, austria, and trinidad and tobago will now have to isolate for m days. In scotland, the measures also apply
to arrivals from switzerland. Many people on holiday in these countries, which have seen a spike in coronavirus cases, tried to change their flights at the last minute to beat the deadline. 0ur correspondent, Frankie Mccamley has been at Gatwick Airport and sends this report. After weeks of uncertainty and changes to quarantine rules in popular tourist destinations, flying out of Gatwick Airport this evening, there is relief. These holiday makers finally have somewhere to go, portugal. We initially wanted to go to spain, then we rebooked for croatia because spain went into lockdown. Then croatia got put into quarantine yesterday so we quickly switched to portugal. We had to pay quite a lot extra. On thursday night, it happened really quickly, so the flights were booking really fast and the villas were relatively low level prices and, by thursday evening,
they had skyrocketed about £1000 for a villa of ten. The minute quarantine was lifted, we booked that day. We did. Within about two hours. For those who had already taken the chance and headed to towns in croatia, as they return, they now face 1a days in quarantine. After france had no croatia, no holiday can be guaranteed as being safe and, if you go outside the uk this summer of this year, even, you can expect Something Like this to happen. Most of the flights on saturday morning. If theyd given 48 hours, we would all be back, but now we have to quarantine for two weeks, so its a pain. Some havent yet made it back from the country. It shouldnt be m days, we should probably stay at home for seven to ten days and then get tested. You feel like its a punishment. If you are not positive, let us back
to work and kids to school. Despite packed beaches in croatia, its the spike in coronavirus cases which led to the restrictions there as well as in austria and trinidad tobago. Many now question, is this worth it . Or should they risk the british weather instead . Frankie mccamley, bbc news. Tougher coronavirus restrictions came into force in some areas in north west england overnight. Socialising with other households is now banned indoors and outdoors in 0ldham, blackburn, and parts of pendle in lancashire. 0ur correspondent, luxmy gopal reports from blackburn. New rules here in blackburn in a very localised lockdown. Different households here are already banned from meeting in their homes and gardens but, from today, they are not allowed to meet in public spaces either. Its left some residents confused. You hear rumours that this and that is happening and you are not sure which is actually the truth. Ive heard about them but i dont know where they are. I dont know how you police it. If you live in one area, how do you stop somebody travelling to another area 7 in blackburn, different wards are under different restriction so, on a boundary, people on that side can meet friends in a park, but people on that side cant. Its the same down the road in pendle, lancashire. This is splitting up communities and confusing residents who live on the same road. The government should work with the community to eradicate this pandemic as quickly as possible, and local lockdowns is not the answer. But the new rules in blackburn, pendle and 0ldham dont stop residents going to the shops or visiting pubs or restaurants. In wales from today, people can open up their bubble with up to four households, double the praise it and arent loud, and up to 30 people can have a socially distanced wedding
indoors after wedding or civil partnership. In scotland there have been 123 new cases of covid i9 detected in the past 2a hours, most linked to a Food Processing plant in cooper, angus. Back in the north west of england, 0ldham council says it is glad to have avoided a full leicester style lockdown. Luxmi gopal, bbc news, blackburn. The government has released its latest uk coronavirus figures. 18 more people have died with the virus, bringing the total number of deaths in the uk to 41,423. The government also said that there have been a further 1,288 Lab Confirmed cases of coronavirus, bringing the total number of confirmed cases to 324,601. The governor of california has appealed for assistance from canada and australia, as hundreds of wildfires continue to spread across the state. Six people have died and hundreds of thousands have been forced to leave their homes as a result of the fires, which started
after a number of lightning strikes hit the state in recent days. Daniel berlant from californias fire department, said Emergency Services were struggling to contain the blazes. Over 13,000 firefighters from across our state. Many other states within the United States have sent assistance. We have activated our national guard, our military, all providing additional resources, but its very challenging. To have this number of fires spread out across the state is a very difficult firefighting. But we prioritise our resources based on the life threat. Hundreds of thousands of people were made evacuated, and so ensuring that people are out of harms way continues to be our priority. These type of lightning storms occur every couple of decades, so this is not a common item. However, in california our summers and specifically our fire seasons have become longer. We are seeing longer periods of time for the vegetation to dry out and be
more receptive to wildfires and so our fire season seems to be getting longer and longer and do more and more destruction. Weve had some of the most destructive fires and some of the largest fires just in the past decade, and two of the fire complexes burning today have hit the record books, being the second, and the third now, largest fires in our states history. So, you know, as we continue to experience drying conditions, this may be a sign of what is to come for decades to come. 0ur los angeles correspondent, peter bowes, gave me this update. It is very unusual. Weve just heard a reference to these dry lightning strikes that only happen about once every 20 years, and because of those lightning strikes of course weve had lots of thunder but no rain, everything is tinder dry across the state. Weve got almost 600 separate fires burning at the same time, and we also heard them just now described as fire complexes and thats unusual, because what i complexes is in fact several individual fires, dozens of fires all clumped together in relatively close vicinity, and there are two major complexes burning in the north of the state. One is to the east of palo alto, which is a mountainous area in the San Francisco bay area, and another in wine country which is just to the south of sacramento which is the state capital of california, really stretching the firefighting resources of the entire state to the limit. And some of the figures were hearing about the number of people who are having to flee their homes. With social distancing measures in place, where on earth are they going . Well, that is the big problem at the moment. More than 100,000 people asked to move out of their homes, they go to evacuation centres, community centres, shelters that
are opened and that california is well used to dealing with because we do have this very, very frequently, these huge wildfires. We are not used to dealing with is a coronavirus pandemic and california has more cases of covid 19 than any other state in the us and there was a recent surge in the number of infections and people are very, very worried about going to these Vaccination Centres where theyll be in close vicinity to other people. And what some people are choosing to do, its against the advice of the authorities, is simply stay at home and hope that they are safe, perhaps even try to fight the fire themselves. Again, not advised by the authorities. Other people are travelling if they can, perhaps to stay with relatives or friends. Hopefully they can carry out their social distancing a little easier with fewer people around them. I know there have been warnings of further dry strikes to come. Interesting that theyve asked for assistance from the likes of canada and especially australia, who have expertise in wildfires. Yes, california and the Australian Authorities do work very closely together. They traditionally have over a number of years. The topography is the same, the threat of wildfires is very similar, and theres been reciprocal help going from california to australia when australia had its incredibly intense fires last summer, so there is a hope that teams will come from australia, also from canada, to help the firefighters in this state because they are really getting to the limit now in terms of exhaustion. They work extremely long shifts. Ive seen some of these firefighters in difficult, rugged terrain working for up to 24 hours at a time without getting any sleep and there comes a point where theyjust cant go on any cant go on any longer. So its an International Effort as well as a state wide effort, and weve got firefighters
coming from oregon, from texas, from new mexico as well. A 15 Year Old Girl has died and several others have been injured in a collision between an Inflatable Boat and a buoy off the hampshire coast, police have said. Andy moore is here. Hes been following the story for us. So what do we know . This happened about 10 10am this morning in the solent just off southampton. This was a rigid Inflatable Boat, quite large engines, capable of quite large engines, capable of quite high speeds and collided with a boy. Several passenger vessels who we re a boy. Several passenger vessels who were around at the time on the scene very quickly. The independent life but was there along with two of the lifeboats. A total of 12 people were injured but the humble independent lifeboat took four of the most seriously injured to motion village and peter finds the clocks of that
lifeboat. We arrived here after four people had been injured from the collision in the southampton water ina collision in the southampton water in a situation that we faced was for people very badly injured following the collision, and while we have a paramedic on board, of course, for the four people needing Urgent Medical care, they were lucky from the sounds of it that they were passing boats in the area . Jess, they were lucky. They were lucky that a comforting but so what happened and be that they took them into a place in relative safety and see that they had the good fortune to bring them into here where we could ask them with our lifeboat and with ambulances. What were their injuries . I cant tell you the specific injuries but they were serious, and there was a very Swift Response from the trust that triage them with us and actually evacuated
them with us and actually evacuated them in very good time. Weve got no more information about the status of those casualties. We understand at least some of them were picked up out of the water. The conditions at the time are said to be choppy with quite a gusty wind. The Marine Accident Investigation Branch has launched an enquiry. Thank you very much for the update. The headlines on bbc news. Manchester united say their captain, Harry Maguire, has pleaded not guilty to charges related to an alleged altercation with police on the greek island of mykonos. Uk tourists whove been on holiday to croatia, austria and trinidad and tobago now have to isolate for 14 days when they get back. Hundreds of thousands of people in north west england are told not to socialise with anyone outside their household to stem coronavirus infections. The russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, whos acutely ill, has arrived for medical treatment in germany. Mr navalny, one of president putins fiercest critics, has been in coma since drinking a cup of tea which his supporters believe was laced with poison. Russian doctors had initally suggested his condition might be the result of low blood sugar. 0ur berlin correspondent jenny hill has the details. Oblivious to the political storm around him, Alexei Navalny arriving in berlin for treatment. The man who took on Vladimir Putin is in a coma. He collapsed on thursday during a flight over siberia after drinking what his supporters claim was a poisoned cup of tea. Im sure that they can treat him to eliminate maybe toxic agents from his body. I am sure that they can treat him and do everything to eliminate may be this toxic agent from his body, i hope that the germans, with a high level of medicine. We have no such opportunities
in russia as german doctors have. Mr navalny is one of Vladimir Putins fiercest critics, an Anti Corruption campaigner with powerful enemies. His supporters claim he was poisoned last year but lived to tell the tale. Now they believe the russian authorities have tried to silence him again. That is something the kremlin denies. It was a german ngo which organised mr navalnys transfer to berlin, though it is believed western political intervention finally persuaded russia to let him go. He is a healthy, strong man with a good constitution. The night before the attack, whatever you want to call it, he was swimming in a river, and there is this media we have all seen from the plane where he gets this incredible pain and is screaming. Doctors here say it will take time to examine mr it might navalny. It may now be too late to establish whether he was poisoned and harder still to discover by whom. Its not the first time an opponent of Vladimir Putin has come to berlin with suspected poisoning. Two years ago, a dissident was treated in the very same hospital. This could be the latest in what some here say is an increasingly provocative pattern of behaviour. Tonight, as a man fights for his life, that is putting pressure on what is already a tense relationship between russia and the west. And well find out how this and many other stories is being covered in tomorrows front pages at 10 30 and 11 30 this evening in the papers our guests joining me tonight are the pollsterjoe twyman and the features writer for the independent james rampton. Its been almost three weeks since the explosion in beiruts port, which killed around 180 people and caused enormous damage to the city. Its emerged that large numbers of Syrian Refugees were among the casualties. Lebanon is home to around one and a half million syrians who fled the war which began in 2011. Away from home, working in menialjobs and subject to discrimination, their lives are already difficult enough. 0ur correspondent paul adams, just back from beirut, met one syrian family near the port whose lives have been completely torn apart by the explosion. Theres not a lot to pick up, but Syrian Refugees dont have very much. So mahmoud and his brother in law fawaz salvage what they can from what used to be the family home. No one was living closer to the blast. Beiruts shattered grain silo is just a few hundred metres away. Mahmouds father worked here as concierge. These were once luxury apartments. It will be a long time before anyone moves back in. As mahmoud raced here on august 4th, fawazhad already pulled 16 year old sidras lifeless body
from the rubble. Hes struggling with the memory. The rest of the family survived, but only just. Translation my father was here on this wall. My sisters and my mother was standing right behind him. My mother said, please, come in. Theres smoke over there, lets go inside. He said, its fine, its only smoke. And then the explosion happened. On a street nearby, Syrian Refugees clamour for help. Many live or work around the port. Thousands died in the explosion. With homes damaged and breadwinners gone, their already precarious existence in lebanon hasjust become a little harder. Exhausted and broken, mahmouds family is nursing its many wounds, and are grieving for sidra. 11 year old houda has a broken neck. Her Mother Fatima a broken back and leg. And ali, the concierge, a fractured skull. Hes still blind in one eye. With beiruts hospitals overwhelmed, the family must look after themselves. They have no savings, and now no work either. Theyre spending what little they have on medicine at this rented apartment, far from the city. Ali doubts he will ever make it back to hisjob. Translation i dont know. How will i see . How will i recover . I dont know. My head hurts. I lost a daughter. My wife is sick. My other daughter is sick. I cant go back. Its left to mahmoud and fawaz to pick up the pieces. Right now they dont know where to start. Translation i hate it when someone calls me a refugee, when i am able to work and make money. I have my dignity. I never put out my hand and ask for help. But now i really need help. My situation is really, really bad. All i am thinking about is how to get out of here. I hate this country. My sister died here. When syrians came to live in lebanon they thought they were at least safe. With that illusion now shattered, some just want to leave. Paul adams, bbc news. Six years ago, the life of the pakistan schoolboy, ahmad nawaz changed forever when his school was targeted by taliban gunmen. The attack left more than 130 children dead. Ahmad then aged 14 only survived by playing dead. The road to recovery has been long, but ahmads life is about to change again hes accepted a place to study at Oxford University. Bbc Asian NetworksShabnam Mahmood reports. That was a horrible day. I will never be able to forget the things that happened on that day. December 2014, over 130 children and their teachers died in an attack by the taliban on a school in peshawar, in pakistan. My friends being killed, of course, in front of my eyes, and thats one of the pictures i will never be able to forget. Ahmad nawaz, who also lost his younger brother in the massacre, was shot in the arm. It shattered the bone at that time, and i had to go through 11 surgeries. So severe were his injuries, he was flown to a birmingham hospital, which specialises in trauma surgery. I met him shortly after his operation. He explained how hed played dead to stay alive. I kept quiet and showed myself dead to them, because the blood was so much, and my shirt was fully red and my face also was fully red, so therefore they think he has died. Having made the uk his home, ahmad is determined to do well. Now, he has secured a place at Oxford University to study philosophy. I feel extremely proud having come from such an atrocity that happened a few years ago. I feel this is a success not only for myself but also all the people who were shot in that attack. Like his friend, Nobel Peace Prize winner malala yousafzai, who also survived a Taliban Attack ahmad is no less ambitious. I would also like to help people through my own organisation which i am setting up to try and empower people to eradicate this problem of extremism from the world. Going to Oxford University is a dream come true for the teenager who lived through one of the deadliest terror attacks. I think my survival was a miracle in a sense, and now i am just trying my best to make sure that i can do something in the Second Chance that i have been given. Shabnam mahmood, bbc news. Small music venues are being thrown a lifeline this week, with 135 of those most at risk of closing getting emergency funding.

by hard hit venues that might otherwise be facing closure over the next few months. After that, though, theres still uncertainty. Whether its going to be enough long term, i doubt it. Because were never going to get back to 100 normality very quickly, so i would think there would have to be extra funding put in place Going Forward from march, spring, next year, going into next year. Smaller grassroots venues are seen as an essential part of the industry. Places that are receiving the emergency cash include modern venues like camp and furnace in liverpool, and historic bush hall in london, once a rehearsal space for the likes of the who and cliff richard, more recently used for socially distanced gigs which could then be viewed by fans. Sites the government has decided need priority funding. Its over £3 million that we are giving to those venues who are right up against the wall
now, and need for cash, before the allocation of the full amount, £1. 57 billion, a record investment in our culture.
