A Coach Carrying Schoolchildren overturned on a motorway this morning. In the past 30 minutes, police have confirmed that two people have died a 14 year old schoolgirl and a coach driver. A local Childrens Hospital had declared a major incident. It said its treating several people. About 50 others were assessed at the scene. Police were called to the m53 motorway in the wirral near liverpool just after eight oclock, when the incident happened. The road has since been closed ever since. Chief superintendent Graeme Robson confirmed that 14 Year Old Girl and driver were killed in m53 bus crash. Emergency services were called to report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at just report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at ust after report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at just report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at ust after 8am report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at just report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at ust after 8am this report of an overturned bus on the m 53 atjust report of an overturned bus on the m 53 at ust after 8am this mornin. 53 atjust after 8am this morning. We can confirm that the bass was a school bus taking people to west kirby and grammar schools. We understand there were 5a people including the driver on the bus and sadly i can confirm that the driver and a 14 year old Schoolgirl Have died. Two children were taken from the scene to all the hey Childrens Hospital. 50 other children were taken to Emergency Centres where they were assessed and both children have been taken to the Countess Of Chester and Arrowe Park Hospitals. Our thoughts and condolences are with the foot family and friends at this tragic time. We are providing specialist support to families and working with schools, Wirral Council and Chester Council to ensure support is in place for the children on the bus. We also know that children from both schools were travelling in convoy with the bus involved in the incident and witnessed the incident and they too will be provided with trauma support. It is expected to be close to a number of hours while investigative work is carried out and would like to thank motorists for their patients while the investigation is ongoing. Diversions are in place and we encourage people where possible to take alternative routes. I would also like to remind people that there is an investigation ongoing and would ask people to refrain from posting anything the social media because it could hamper the investigation and not to speculate. Not to speculate. Lets head to the newsroom not to speculate. Lets head to the newsroom. Really not to speculate. Lets head to the newsroom. Really distressing not to speculate. Lets head to the newsroom. Really distressing new| newsroom. Really distressing new detail we have learned of the last half an hour. Detail we have learned of the last half an hour half an hour. Yes, the language chanced half an hour. Yes, the language changed when half an hour. Yes, the language changed when the half an hour. Yes, the language changed when the press half an hour. Yes, the language changed when the Press Conference started. We started hearing about the terrible incident, about sincere condolences. Thats because we know two deaths have now been confirmed. The bus driver as well as a 14 year old schoolgirl. One thing the officials were stressing is that not only are their family Liaison Officers providing support to those who passed away, they are also providing support to all children on the bus who witnessed the event and also on other buses travelling along side which had other school on board. What they are really talking about right now is trauma, specialists trauma teams, to provide any support to those involved. Officials also talked about the fact that they are reiterating people should not speculate on exactly what happened. They are urging people to not post any distressing images on social media and thats for two reasons. One is that we are talking about children here so those images, the aerial images will be watching of the overturned bus are particularly distressing because we know children were involved. But they also remind in the public that there is an Ongoing Investigation and so any speculation, any images that are posted on social media could get in the way. You referred to the aerial could get in the way. You referred to the aerial pictures could get in the way. You referred to the aerial pictures of could get in the way. You referred to the aerial pictures of the to the aerial pictures of the upturned coach. Really disturbing and distressing images in terms of the wreckage there on the motorway. Tell us a little more about what the authorities have been saying about the hospital response, the amount of injured and the Ongoing Operations concerning all of that. Concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 eole concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 peeple were concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 people were on concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 people were on the concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 people were on the bus concerning all of that. Theyve said 54 people were on the bus and concerning all of that. Theyve said | 54 people were on the bus and that makes sense when you think about the fact that before this Press Conference, we know 50 people were assessed on the same. And we now know one female patient was the girl who was taken to hospital with serious injuries. They said 50 children were then taken to surrounding hospitals and a Training Centre to be treated for minor injuries and very quickly after this happened, understanding how serious an incident this is, the hospital trust, hospitals like alder hey Childrens Hospital and Arrowe Park Hospital declared major incidents and urged parents not to take their children to hospital unless there was an urgent concern because of the fact that ana became so busy. Since then, alder hey said their department are still very busy but they dont expect any further casualties at the hospital and that anyone who has an appointment in other departments can of course go to the hospital now.

Those children brought here, their families are here as well and being helped and looked after by staff at the hospital. The others that were injured have been taken to hospitals, Arrowe Park Hospital in rural which is very close to where it actually happened and countess of Chester Hospital in chester which is probably about ten miles away from where the crash happened. The staff here say they are not expecting anybody else to come and have been able to deal with the operation and incident fully.

Lets turn now to pakistan, which has been rocked by two deadly explosions have rocked pakistan. More than 50 people are dead. The first explosion was near a mosque in the southwestern province of balochistan as people celebrated the birth of prophet muhammad. Police say at least 52 people were killed there, with another 50 injured. Police suspect it was a Suicide Attack targeting the religious gathering in mastung city. These pictures are from balochistan, pakistans largest province. The region has suffered mutiple attacks from groups including the Pakistani Taliban and Islamic State group. And in a separate explosion, at least five people are reported to have died at a blast at a mosque near the city of peshawar. Many more are feared trapped under the collapsed building.

A 17 year old boy has been charged with the murder of elianne andam, the schoolgirl who was stabbed to death in croydon on wednesday. The boy appeared at a youth court in croydon this morning. Our Home Affairs CorrespondentDaniel Sandford is there for us. Elianne andam was on her way to school when she was stabbed at a bus stop. She was described as her family as the light of their lives. Today at the magistrates� court, 17 year old boy appeared charged with her murder and possession of a Kitchen Knife without good reason. Because of his young age, he can� t legally be named. He sat in the main area of the court instead of the dark and was wearing a Police Issued grey sweat shirt and tracksuit bottoms. He spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth and his lawyer said there was no indication at this stage which way he would plead. Elianne andam had been on her way to the school when she died. She was wearing her green School Uniform and was with two friends. She had just started yet 11, her gcse year. Forensics teams spent two days at the scene and detectives say they recovered a knife two thirds of the mile away. Her mother led a large group of family who paid an emotional visit to the bus stop where she died. They said her dreams had been shattered and their hearts were broken by her senseless death. The 17 year old boy was told he would be kept in Youth Detention Accommodation until he makes an appearance on tuesday. The leaders of nine mediterranean, and southern European Countries are in malta for talks expected to focus on migration. The gathering comes as the Un Refugee Organisation says 2,500 have died or disappeared in the mediterranean, attempting to cross the sea substantially more than at the same time last year. The number of those who made it to europe has also risen markedly. 11,000 unaccompanied Child Migrants have made dangerous Sea Crossings to europe this year that� s a 60 rise. The Un Childrens Agency says the mediterranean has become a cemetery for children. Here we can see the number of migrants in spain, italy, greece, cyrpus and malta where the summit is taking place today. You can see italy has the highest number by a long way. The hard right coalition government, elected on an anti migrant ticket, has clashed with both france and germany as they press other eu countries to share the burden. Live now to Sasha Ockenden from sos humanity which is a Search And Rescue organisation that has worked to help migrants found at sea in the mediterranean. Thank you for being here on the programme as these countries talk about the broader problem, just give us a feel of the perspective of what it� s like on the waters, there are rescues and sinkings, the desperation.

As you say, more people are attempting to cross the mediterranean, many more people are drowning and the reasons for thatis are drowning and the reasons for that is that there is a total absence of coordination of Search And Rescue the mediterranean. You have a small number of ngos such as ourselves carrying out rescues but there are still no coordination on a state level between these Nine Countries who are meeting today in malta and for that reason, there are many boats we don� t know about, many shipwrecked and is far too many people have lost their lives already this year.

He was imprisoned and beaten and blackmailed and made this dangerous journey on his own beaten and blackmailed and made this dangerousjourney on his own in order to escape what he was experiencing in tunisia. That� sjust one of thousands of stories of children, also men and women, making this dangerous crossing.

We� ve been calling for the past seven years, we� ve been calling for a European FinanceSearch And Rescue programme which still hasn� t happened. All the discussions taking place on a national and diplomatic level, there is a lot of complex issues at play but for us first and foremost, we have to see progress with the fact that so many ships are crossing. You mentioned more than 2500 people lost their lives already this year. We rescued people who� d been drifting at sea for up to five days, some of them in the middle of storms and many had no food or water. I asked myself how can it be that in this day and age we as International Community are unable to monitor and co ordinate rescues on what is essentially European Unions external border.

The maltese authorities often don� t respond to such an rescue request. We see a shipwreck in the maltese area and contact the authorities and they don� t pick up the phone. It� s like calling 999 and nobody picks up. That can� t be a State Of Affairs that can last. Alongside that, we are pressure from Italian Government trying to restrict ngos working in the mediterranean and trying to penalises legally. This campaign of blaming rescuers has to stop we have to move towards a situation where whatever else is discussed as a diplomatic level, those who decide to risk their lives making this incredibly dangerous journey are put incredibly dangerous journey are put in the centre of the debate and we create a system that can rescue them, protect them, pregnant women are vulnerable people, miners, people from discrimination, their rights must be put in the centre of the debate.

One side of the story is some unseasonable warmth. We may see temperatures as high as 24 celsius. But there will also be some rain at times. On the satellite picture, you can see this area of cloud. This is a Weather System that will push in from the southwest to bring rain for some of us during tomorrow. In the short term, though, actually quite a lot of sunshine out there. Some showers, too, especially in Western Parts and most especially in the northwest of scotland where some of those showers will continue to be heavy, quite windy here through the afternoon. Feeling quite fresh as well, 13 to 20 degrees, pleasant in any sunshine. And then through tonight, most of the showers will fade, will keep some going across the northern isles. But elsewhere, aside from a few mist patches, some largely clear skies overhead. That will allow it to get relatively chilly, not desperately cold for a late september night, but many spots will get down into single digits. But thanks to this ridge of high pressure, it� s going to be a mainly fine start to saturday. However, this Frontal System will be approaching from the west. Initially that will throw some high cloud across the sky, turning the sunshine quite hazy. And then the cloud will thicken out towards the west, with outbreaks of heavy rain pushing across Northern Ireland into western and northern parts of wales, the isle of man, Northwest England into southern and Central Parts of scotland. It will turn relatively windy too for some of these irish sea coasts. Temperatures 12 degrees in lerwick, 20 degrees in london. Now, as you move through saturday night, this Weather System willjust continue to wriggle around. There� ll be some quite heavy bursts of rain, i think, across Central Parts of the uk. As this Weather System continues to advance, it will draw in some really quite humid air as we head into sunday, a very warm, quite muggy start to sunday across southern parts. It will be quite misty and murky, too, for some of these western and southern coasts. We could well see some showery rain at times across central and southern parts of england and wales, sunshine and showers across Northern Ireland and scotland. But down towards the southeast with that humid air, we could well see temperatures up to 23 or 24 degrees. Through next week, quite a mixed affair. There will continue to be some rain at times. It will be quite breezy, but it may turn warm again towards the end of the week, especially in the south. This is bbc news. The headlines.
