Id be cutting things out of newspapers to get lettering. I would be using photographs, re appropriating things. And, jamie reid, the man whose images defined the punk era, has died. He was 76. And on newsnight at 10 30pm, well go deeper behind the headlines and speak live to key players on todays big stories. Plus, a first look at tomorrows front pages. Hello. Tonight we begin with more tragedy on the sea, as the mediterranean becomes the graveyard for more people fleeing poverty or war or persecution to reach europe. The italian authorities have opened an investigation into the deaths of 41 people, who died when their boat capsized. They were crossing from sfax in tunisia, hoping to reach italy. There were just four survivors, rescued by a Merchant Vessel and then handed over to the italian coastguard. The United Nations agency, the International Organisation for migration, says the First Quarter of 2023 has been the deadliest for six years in the med. Sofia bettiza has our top story from rome. This is the moment three young adults and a child were found adrift in the mediterranean. It is really important and urgent, if you could support these people, possibly taking them on board. They were spotted by the crew of a plane run by a migrant charity, which called out to a passing ship for help. To give them food and water. Their original boat had capsized and sank, throwing the 45 people on board into the water. They are getting them on board. But these four, originally from the ivory coast and guinea, were the only ones to survive and make it safely on board the cargo vessel. Translation the four migrants | rescued by the coastguard arrived at lampedusa this morning. They say they survived by hanging onto inflatable rubber devices. Then they clung to an abandoned motorless boat for days until their rescue. Translation the survivors are two men and one woman, in their 20s, l and a 13 year old boy. They only had small cuts and bruises and were dehydrated. Shipwrecks like these are becoming more frequent. In the last few days, more than 2,000 migrants have been rescued and brought to lampedusa. According to the United Nations, this is by far the most dangerous migrant crossing in the world. And it is a political issue as well. Italys right wing government under Giorgia Meloni was elected on a promise to clamp down on illegal migration but so far this year, nearly 94,000 migrants have reached italy by sea. That is already double last years figure. So for all of the tough talk, more people are arriving here, and still, many others are dying trying to make it. Immigration continues to be one of the most controversial political issues across europe. It played a key role in the rise of nationalist parties across the continent over the past decade. And while that debate rages, all the time, yet more lives are being lost. Sofia bettiza, bbc news, rome. Our Diplomatic Correspondent Caroline Hawley is here. We just heard wejust heard in we just heard in that report that 94,000 migrants this year alone have reached italy. The figures are astonishing. Reached italy. The figures are astonishinu. ,. ,. ,. Astonishing. They are very dramatic, both the numbers astonishing. They are very dramatic, both the numbers of astonishing. They are very dramatic, both the numbers of those astonishing. They are very dramatic, both the numbers of those on astonishing. They are very dramatic, both the numbers of those on the i both the numbers of those on the move and those dying making the journey. On this one route from north africa to europe, 120,000 people attempted the crossing so far this year. Most arrived in italy. Around 2000 have died or disappeared and that is likely to be a vast underestimation as the boats often sink without trace. Since 2014, there has been at least 20,000 deaths. The numbers are really shocking. Why are people making this dangerous journey . Shocking. Why are people making this dangerousjourney . One word, i would say, desperation, conflict, dire Living Commission conditions, human rights abuses, more people on the move after covid and we are likely to see more people moving with crisis exacerbated by climate change. Then you have europe and the uk grappling with how to respond to people trying to reach their scores. Their shores. Their responses are often criticised by human rights groups. The eu has deals with tunisia and libya which are meant to deter smugglers and prevent boats from leaving and also to send migrants back to their home countries but still, the boats, which are often not see where they, in our setting off. Aid agencies say there is a moral imperative for European Countries to do much more to save lives. Today, three un agencies put out a joint statement and what they have called for is coordinated Search And Rescue efforts, more resources put into those efforts. They want more safe and legal routes for people to claim asylum. But the fear is that there is going to be a lot more of what one un official described to me as this carnage at sea.

More than 300 officers were murdered in Northern Ireland during the 30 years of violence known as the troubles, and the fear is that republican paramilitaries might use the information to plot new attacks. The Police Service of Northern Ireland has apologised, and blamed human error for the leak. And tonight, a second data breach involving the theft of a laptop and documents has now emerged. Chris page has more. In this part of the uk, the risks which police face are particularly stark. Members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland take far reaching measures to protect their identities. But yesterday, information appeared online about all 10,000 staff, both officers and civilians. They havent told their family what they do and now it is all out there and they are really frightened, actually. The bbc has spoken to two serving officers. One told us. Another said. This local councillor, who left the police two years ago, is familiar with the threat. Anyone who has an officers name in mind to target will want to know two things, where they live and where they work. This breach of their personal data has done half the job for them. During the conflict known as the troubles, more than 300 Police Officers were killed. Attacks are much more rare now. However, officers still face challenges which come with community divisions. Earlier this year, paramilitaries tried to murder a detective. John caldwell was shot by the new ira, a dissident Republican Organisation which is opposed to the peace process. Political leaders say the Security Situation makes the data breach all the more concerning. What we need to do now is get to the bottom of it, we need to find out how it happened and why it happened. What i want to see now is a robust response from the senior command of the psni to deal with this very serious security breach. What is known so far is that the problem came about after a routine request for data under freedom of information laws. But the police also released a huge excel spreadsheet by mistake, containing the personal details. This afternoon, the police said they were investigating another breach. It involves the theft of documents from a car, including the names of 200 workers. The chief constable, simon byrne, has cut short his holiday to try to deal with the crisis. Tomorrow, there will be an Emergency Meeting of the Northern Ireland policing board, where politicians hold Senior Officers to account. The data leak has caused worry, anger, and fear, and generated the most serious of questions about potential consequences. Chris page, bbc news, belfast. Staffordshire police say theyre treating a fire at a Well Known18th century pub near dudley in the West Midlands as arson. The crooked house pub, described as britains wonkiest pub, was largely destroyed by the blaze at the weekend. It was then bulldozed on monday, with the local council saying that was unauthorised, unacceptable, and possibly unlawful. Heres phil mackie. Whats left of a much loved landmark is now a potential crime scene. Today a specially trained dog which can detect up to ten different accelerants was used to sniff through the rubble. Tonight, Police Confirmed they are treating it as arson. They say that its a robust investigation and the cultural importance and the heritage of the site isnt lost on them. Coincidentally, Historic England said it received a request to list the building, which would have given greater protection, just days before the fire. A week ago, what they used to claim was the worlds wonkiest pub was still here. It had been standing so long that subsidence left it leaning at an unusual angle. In march, the pubs owners put it up for sale and locals started a Petition Calling for it to be kept as a pub. Onjuly 27th, the pubs Facebook Page said it had been sold to a private buyer for alternative use. The fire broke out on saturday night. The building was gutted, and an investigation was launched to determine its cause. Firefighters confirmed they hadnt been able to access the site easily, after a mound of soil had been used to block the road. On monday afternoon, footage emerged showing what remained of the building being demolished by a mechanical digger. Today, it emerged the pub is owned by carly taylor, while an adam taylor is listed as a shareholder of the Landfill Site next door. Is anybody in i can talk to about the pub in himley . There also a link to another property in leicestershire, but today no one there could tell me anything about what happened. People had been coming to see the crooked house for decades. The crooked house, where even teetotallers can feel tipsy. And it could be a mind blowing experience. I sort of grew up coming here on my bike as a kid. Paul turner first came here as a little boy, and as soon as he heard it was up for sale, launched the petition to save it. To look at this when just a few days ago, it was a pub that could just be used without very much work at all, is absolutely devastating. Police have urged people not to speculate about the final days of the crooked house, but it has led to increasing anger. Phil mackie, bbc news, himley. The wildfires in southern portugal are being brought under control, but there are fears winds could fan more flames, amid unusually high temperatures, in the middle of a ferocious heatwave. Its been 46. 4 degrees celsius at times this week. Of course, portugal is only the latest country to experience a devastating summer of wildfires. Last month, on the greek island of rhodes, thousands of locals and tourists had to flee their homes and hotels. On la palma, in the spanish canary islands, same story. Mass evacuations. And further afield in canada, the smoke was so bad from forest fires, it drifted down as far as new york, turning the sky orange. Back in europe, lets get the very latest from portugal with jenny hill. Scorched earth still smouldering. The fires consumed 40 square miles of land. Here, flames swept up the valley, right up to the southern town of odeceixe. On the outskirts, destruction, but somehow the community itself was spared. They have been battling the fire for five days now. Its difficult, dangerous work. Earlier, the authorities announced it was under control, but the fire is still burning and the winds shifting too soon to say its over. For those who live here, traumatic times. Translation it was horrible, there was fire everywhere and we had to fend for ourselves. Nobody was there to help us. But luckily, i had thee friends who came. Three friends who came. The firemen who were there found themselves surrounded by fire and we asked them for help, but it wasnt possible. Situation today theyre harvesting ra es,. ,. , but on monday, they were fighting to save this vineyard. It was super dramatic. I have never experienced a fire so close before. You could actually hear it coming like a rolling ocean. And of course, you could see it on the sky enormous flames and lots of smoke. Thanks to self effort, we kept the fire out of this vineyard. It is perhaps too soon to assess the damage done. There is a really strong smell here. Its notjust the smoke. It is eucalyptus and pine those are the trees that line this landscape, and they have been consumed by the fire. After three heatwaves, the ground is now extremely dry and extremely vulnerable. And with temperatures set to stay high, uneasy days lie ahead. Jenny hill, bbc news, odeceixe. Six people have died in wildfires that have ravaged hawaii. The island has been battling flames, spurred by winds from hurricane dora. Its prompted evacuations on maui and the big island. The names of thousands of people, who were adopted as children, have been removed from a Genealogy Website over privacy and safety concerns. Details of adoptions dating back decades were publicly available through the scotlands people website, but the information� s been taken down, after an adoptive mother complained it could endager her child. David cowan has that story. The scotlands people website allows the public to trawl the archives for their scottish ancestors. A searchable database holds a vast collection of entries. But now Tens Of Thousands have had to be removed after an adoptive mother found details of her child. The information included the first name he was given at birth, his new surname and a reference to the Adoption Register. To protect the childs identity, the mothers words are spoken by an actor. I was horrified. It is every adoptive parents Worst Nightmare that their childs adoptive name, which has been carefully shielded, through the court process, could be made public. The mother complained to the Government Agency which runs the site on sunday. The entries were still online yesterday morning. We picked an year at random to see what was there. Straightaway, you get page after page after page of names with ar beside them, which stands for Adoption Register. The earliest entries dated back to 1909. The most recent were from last year. The mother alerted the office of scotlands childrens commissioner. They sought an urgent meeting with the sites operators, and by yesterday lunchtime, all entries linked to the Adoption Register had been taken off line. The commissioner believes the information could have breached the childs right to privacy under international conventions. This was something that raised really serious concerns for us about the potential risk of harm for children, a relatively small number of children, but a relatively high risk. National records of scotland declined our request for interview. In a statement, they said, relevant records have been removed from the website while we investigate this. We are taking this extremely seriously and will listen to a wide range of views before Making Decisions for the longer term. The agency said it was not a data breach and it has a duty to make its records open and searchable. But it will be under pressure to limit what can be uncovered during a search for family history. David cowan, bbc news, edinburgh. For sometime now, the un has described the civil war in yemen, as resulting in the worlds worst humanitarian crisis. Millions of people have been displaced, and at least 80 of the population, is in need of humanitarian aid and protection. The war began in 2014 when iranian backed Houthi Forces seized the capital sa naa. A saudi led coalition, backed by britain and america, intervened hoping to restore the government, with the years of war being brutal. A temporary truce last year has seen a fall in the level oif violence, but theres no sign of a comprehensive peace deal. Few areas have suffered more, than the city of taiz, in the southwest, which has been virtually besieged for more than 3,000 days by Houthi Forces. Our Senior International correspondent, orla guerin, has visited the main hospital, and her report contains images, you may find distressing. Every second counts. And war has taught them to be quick. It has honed their skills. At this hospital, doctors patch up some of the latest broken bodies. This time, it is government troops, hit by a houthi drone. One soldier, called omar, couldnt be saved. Another is rushed away for treatment elsewhere. Anyone can be a target here, notjust men in uniform. Hanadi knows all too well. Every painful step reminds her of the war, and her family struggles to pay for her treatment. A sniper shot her in the back, her father qasim tells me. That was in 2016. The bullet is still lodged inside her. Are you very worried about the future for hanadi . Yes, he says, i am worried for her because she is a girl. I wish it happened to me and not her. I wish the sniper had shot me and not her. This is the biggest hospital in a city that has been a battleground for years. These days, in taiz and in yemen, it is not all out war but it is not peace, either. The guns are quieter but this hospital is still receiving plenty of patients wounded by the conflict. Like mohammed, who is seven. And crying for his mother. His dressing needs to be changed. It is hard for his father alwan to watch. Mohammed lost Three Fingers when he picked up an explosive device. He was playing on the roof of his home. Translation he is scared because his hand is gone. L he is very scared. He cant do anything. He cant even hold a pen. In the hospitals busy prosthetics clinic, they try to replace what war has taken away. But these artificial limbs are basic and it is traumatic here, even for the doctors, who see many young amputees. Next door, a regular Physiotherapy Session for shaimaa, who has been walking this path for years. A landmine took her leg and killed herfriend. Shaimaa is determined to be a lawyer, and at 12 years old, she is the voice of a generation in yemen. Translation children here suffer. They have lost their arms and legs. They dont go out and play like other children around the world. They play in comfort, but we play in fear. We just stand by the doors of our homes. When we hear shelling or gunfire, we run back inside. What would you like to say to the international community, to the world, about what is happening here in yemen . Why dont you see the children of taiz . Why all this neglect . Are we not humans in your eyes . Across town, an honour guard for omar, the soldier killed in the houthi drone strike. One more death in a long war, and few here see a chance for peace. Orla guerin, bbc news, taiz. For years the chinese economy has been an engine of global growth, but now there are signs its slowing down significantly, in the wake of the covid pandemic. The country is now experiencing deflation, where prices fall rather than go up, potentially eroding profits and depressing business confidence. Our chief economics correspondent, dharshini david, is here with more. Thanks, clive. So how much should it concern us, that 5000 miles away chinas economy is faltering . Well, after economic disruption from a pandemic, the war in ukraine, and brexit, whats happening there could be another external force that impacts all of our budgets. In contrast to our stubborn inflation, chinas prices were 0. 3 lower than a year ago, raising fears that the country is facing a deflationary period prolonged falling prices, a sign of distress and weak activity for many reasons. Its been the factory that supplies the world but chinas exports fell by 14. 5 last month, as overseas demands dwindles either as those customers struggle with finances or are looking to source from countries perceived as less risky. Just tonight, President Biden has banned the us from investing in certain technology sectors. Meanwhile, chinas own population is buying less from abroad as youth unemployment rises, and amid problems in its property market. Not great for British Companies looking to sell to china. But there could be an impact on our bills if the downturn there intensifies. China buys 15 out of every hundred barrels of oil sold, its also one of the biggest guzzlers of natural gas. If a slowing chinese economy puts a lid on that demand, it could mean Energy Prices arent as high for the rest of us. The same is true of the cost of many metals, from iron to aluminium and steel, vital components for manufacturers around the globe. In total we buy £70 billion from china, our biggest source of imports, from machinery to phones and other gadgets. If its struggling to sell, it may keep its prices more competitive. All of this could help our inflation ease. Theres storm clouds over china and the impact� s uncertain. But they may hold a hint of a Silver Lining for some. Clive. When it comes to stayig fit and healthy, the goal of reaching 10,000 steps a day, was seen as a good one. But a new Study Suggests in fact, walking fewer than 5,000 steps a day, is more than enough to boost your health, Hywel Griffith explians. Its the exercise you can take in your stride. Walk, jog or run, doing your daily steps is fun for some, for others almost an obsession. I do, generally, about 24,000. 24,000 a day . How many steps do you think you need to do every day to be healthy . 10,000 . I was going to say more 20. 10,000, and i do a lot more than that because myjob is active. If youre really active, sometimes you cant fit in 10,000 steps a day. For years, 10,000 steps a day has been many peoples goal, but this study suggest there is no optimum number and theres no known limit to the Health Benefits of walking. Put simply, the more you walk, the better it is for you. It means all the effort hasnt been wasted, even if you have already done 10,000 today. We were working far too hard i mean, i could have got away with sitting on the sofa for most of the day, couldnt i . Of course, not everyone has the time to climb mountains, so how low can you go . Traditionally, walking less than 5,000 steps a day is considered sedentary and bad for your health. But actually, less than half that just under 2,500 steps a day still helps reduce the risk of dying from heart disease. And just under 4,000 steps a day still helps reduce the risk of dying from all causes. And every single extra step helps. So the question is, how much more . Well, for every extra 500 steps, theres a 7 reduction in the risk of dying from heart disease. Every extra 1,000 steps is associated with a 15 reduction in the risk of dying from all causes. For shabina and abdul, that is good news. Theyre aiming high and taking the family up this mountain in preparation for ben nevis. I dont count my steps. I walk, i get off a stop earlier and i walk. Part of myjob involves a lot of walking and going up and down stairs. So i think i pretty much maybe do it, but i dont count the steps. This study looked at over 200,000 people of all ages and genders across the world. It finds that doing more of this benefits every walk of life. Hywel griffith, bbc news in the Bannau Brycheiniog national park. Jamie reid, the artist behind the sex pistols famous record covers and logo, has died at the age of 76. His distinctive style was emblematic of the punk movement, and his designs became heavily associated with the sex pistols sound and attitude. Heres david sillito. God save the queen. The fascist regime. 1977, the silverjubilee and the british record buying public marked it by sending a widely banned song, with what was considered an outrageous cover, to the top of the charts. If any one image captures the spirit of that punk moment, its this byjamie reid. It was to provoke, to stir, to encourage particularly working class kids to create bands, to do things for themselves. God save the queen. You get a situation where your artwork is banned, the band cant play. But in the case of god save the queen, what happens to that image is that it gets printed, you know, Tens Of Millions of copies get printed on the front page of the newspapers. The lettering looked like cutouts for a ransom note, the images reflected his radical politics, that went back to the 60s and art school, where he met a Young Malcolm mclaren, who would go on to manage the sex pistols. And while punk was only a brief part of his life, its spirit lived on in much of his work and campaigns. But times change. What was in 1977, seen as a symbol of a threat to the nations values was, 40 years later, on display at the National Portrait gallary. God save the queen.
