Since 2021 and nearly four times last years figure. The boat got into difficulties off the french town of ambleteuse and was driven onto rocks where it came apart. The Rocky Shore made the french Rescue Effort difficult. The channel has claimed more lives. This is what remains of the Flimsy Dinghy that took to the water in the early hours, with the aim of getting to the uk. Most of those On Board had no life jackets. Among the dead are people from eritrea, sudan, syria, afghanistan, egypt and iran. Translated the toll is devastating as we mourn the vessel departed from the Slack Sector near the town of wimereux with 59 people On Board. It quickly ran into trouble and appears to have crashed On The Rocks directly in front of where we are now. Survivors were offered Emergency Treatment on the quayside near to the spot from which the boat had departed, dangerously overloaded with its human cargo. So far this year, at least 45 people have died attempting the crossing. Thats almost four times the number for the whole of last year. Many drowned. Others were crushed. The government has reiterated its determination to smash the gangs organising the crossings. Its awful. Its a further loss of life. I sat with the Prime Minister, the Home Secretary, the Attorney General and others at the national Crime Agency actually looking at the awful sort of Rubber Dinghies that people are coming across the channel with, discussing how we go after those gangs. But the shadow Home Secretary says it was a big mistake for the government to scrap the conservatives plan to send some Asylum Seekers to rwanda. Weve seen fatalities of illegal channel crossings going up. Were seeing the numbers going up because the very first action of this Labour Government was to scrap an international partnership, which was deterring migrants. We know this because those migrants told us so. The recent deaths have not diminished the desire of many to get to the uk. Yesterday, more than 1,000 people attempted the crossing. 800 were brought to dover after being picked up in the channel. Bigger boats and bigger numbers mean there is real pressure on the government to stop the crossings and stop more loss of life at sea. Steve smith is ceo of care 4 calais, the refugee charity. He told me about the impact the deaths may have on those trying to cross the channel to get to the uk. Well, its truly shocking and tragic, but unfortunately, im not surprised because were clearly seeing that deterrence doesnt work. The impact on the communities the communities will be torn apart, as will some of our staff that are working with those communities in calais. Im sure there will be a vigil for those that died over the next 2a hours. Um, why do i say that Deterrence Isnt working . These are really desperate people. Theyre fleeing war, persecution, torture, trafficking, modern day slavery, you name it. The thought that they may lose their lives in the Channel Isnt going to deter them, because they seek safety somewhere, and they understand that uk has a reputation for compassion, for kindness, for obeying international humanitarian law. Poland is set to declare a state of disaster as extreme flooding extends across parts of Central And Eastern Europe. The inundations have been triggered by Storm Boris, with torrential downpours forecast to continue until at least the end of monday. At least five people have died in romania, one person drowned in poland, while in austria, a Fire Fighter died tackling the floods there. Several people remain unaccounted for in the Czech Republic. Some parts of poland have faced the worst flooding in almost three decades and a bridge collapsed in this historic Polish Town near the czech border. Polish prime Minister Donald Tusk earlier confired his government will declare a state of natural disaster. This gives the government greater control to counter and resolve the effects of the flooding. These are some of the latest pictures weve had from the czech army, showing their Rescue Operation in some of the worst Hit Parts of the country. They have been winching people to safety in helicopters in the Northen East of the Czech Republic around jesenik the mountainous Spa Town of is totally cut off. Houses have been swept into a raging river. The czech Interior Minister and deputy Prime Minister, vit rakusan, has told the bbc the situation in the country is extremely serious. Now the situation, it is extremely serious, because we had to provide some evacuation in these cities, and we also have some isolated villages and the people there are waiting for help of rescue system, so we are really now on the top of the Crisis Management in the Czech Republic. I have to say, compared to 2002 and 1997, we are really much better prepared, and also we really had really good, well prepared meteorological data, and we have invested, as the Czech Republic, in anti flooding measures in the last 25 years, so we really hope that the destroyed homes that we dont want to have such high numbers as we had before. Firefighters and police are now in the towns and villages, and we have great cooperation with the regional governments, and so far they are handling it very well, and we can see that our Crisis Managers in the region, that they have huge experience, but with a huge commitment of manpower and technology. 0ur eastern European Correspondent Sarah Rainsford gave us this update from the city of nysa, in southwest poland. Five Military Trucks just rolling by as the local mayor here in nice has ordered here in nysa has ordered the evacuation of this town because, as you can see, just look at the scene behind me. This is one of the main streets through the town of nice, and its completely flooded. The Town Hospital is just up there. Weve seen pictures from inside it. We cant get anywhere near it. But inside the Ground Floor its totally flooded. The Emergency Care patients are being evacuated. And the problem is that were told that a dam has breached some miles away from here, but in such a position that the danger is that a wall of water is heading this way, and that the Water Levels in this town could rise even higher still, in fact, just up that way, weve just been looking at the river here. The water is extremely high, the level is very high, and its moving extremely fast. So theres a bridge there under pressure too. And this is basically the scene right across this region here, the Border Region with the Czech Republic. Were close to the mountains. The water has been gushing down the mountainside. And rivers here in southern poland, as well as in the Czech Republic, have been and in romania too have been bursting, their banks, reservoirs overflowing. And obviously the consequences are extremely serious. So lots of people trapped in their homes, lots of people having to be rescued across this region, some of them by helicopter. Weve seen dramatic pictures from the Czech Republic, in particular, people being winched to safety onto helicopters from the roofs of their homes. And sarah, its predicted that the rains will continue up until monday. How are the authorities getting people ready for whats still to come . Yeah, i mean, as you can see here in nysa, and actually as we were driving around this area, there is no rain at the moment. It has paused for now. The forecast is for more rain tomorrow. And i think thats why the focus is still very much on the fact that more rain, more water is to come. And just because the water. All the water thats to come down the mountains hasnt made it here yet. So a breached dam, rivers overflowing, reservoirs extremely high or flooded already, i think the picture is pretty critical. Its been described as catastrophic across the area for some time to come. Certainly the worst has not passed. And in fact, even have we been as weve been standing here for the past 20 minutes or so, the Water Level here has been rising. The water has come forward several metres just in the last few minutes. So i think, you know, The Point is, donald tusk, the Prime Minister here, has said that he is preparing to declare a state of natural disaster. So an emergency situation. I think nobody is underestimating whats happening here. Its the worst floods since 1997. Back in 1997, exactly the same region was very, very badly affected at that time. More than 100 people in the czech Republic And Poland lost their lives. This time, the authorities are saying theyre much better prepared. Theyre telling people not to panic, but they are urging people to evacuate from the most affected areas. Yes. A question about what people are making of the response of the authorities. How effective have they been . Well, here in poland, what weve seen has been effective. Certainly, i mean, as i say, Military Trucks rolling past. Theres a lot of fire engines, fire teams, who have been out and about. But weve also seen local people themselves pumping water out of their basements and trying to to cope with these scenarios. Weve seen people wading, rolling their trousers up, wading through this Flood Water to reach their homes, to get to their belongings. So its a bit of a mixed picture. Certainly weve heard voices from romania complaining that they had been left there to fend for themselves. But as i say, the Czech Republic again, helicopters, the military being deployed to try to get to people. But certainly the message that the polish authorities are giving people is that when theyre in a risk area, they should get out before theyre in a situation where they have to be evacuated by boat or by helicopter. And the message certainly is it could get worse before it gets better in this particular area. And we have a live page running online with the latest on the catastrophic flooding that is sweeping through Central And Eastern Europe. You will find that on the Bbc News App and our website. To the Middle East now, and the israeli military has rejected claims by the houthis in yemen that a missile they fired towards Central Israel Early On Sunday was a hypersonic weapon. The missile, launched from yemen, fell in an open area after israeli Air Defence systems failed to destroy it. There were no casualties. A spokesman for the houthis said the operation involved what he called a new hypersonic missile, which travelled more than 2,000km in less than 12 minutes. Israels Prime Minister, benjamin netanyahu, says houthis in yemen will pay a heavy price for launching the attack. 0ur diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams is following the story from jerusalem. He gave us this update on the attack. This is an interesting attack. As you say, it didnt cause any damage, but it does not appear to have been intercepted by israels extremely sophisticated and multilayered Air Defence system. In fact, the Israeli Army in its statement said that there had been multiple efforts to shoot it down. It appears to have broken up, and the damage caused on the ground seems to have been caused by israels own interceptor missiles. The question is, how did a Ballistic Missile fired from yemen reach israel, so far into israel, the furthest any yemeni Ballistic Missile has reached, without being intercepted 7 the yemenis, in a statement this morning, the houthi rebels say that they fired a new type of hypersonic missile. They say that it travelled more than 2,000km in 11 and a half minutes. Now, there have been claims in the past that the yemenis either had or were developing such missiles. And clearly, if such a thing has been proven today, then that is an additional challenge for the israeli military, as it figures out how to deal with this occasional threat. As for mr netanyahu, well, he has, as you say, threatened retaliation, and he has said, in his words, those who need a reminder in this matter are invited to visit the Port Of Hudaydah. That is a reference to israels extremely dramatic Air Attack on the Port Of Hudaydah back at the end ofjuly, which caused a huge fire in an Oil Storage Depot and was designed to be a major signal by the israelis to the houthis not to launch any further attacks against israel. Sir Keir Starmer is facing criticism for breaking parliamentary rules by failing to declare gifts of clothing to his wife from a labour donor. The Prime Minister has now registered the items received by lady starmer, but he didnt do so on time. Tony bonsignore has this update. According to the sunday times, Lord Alli covered the cost of a personal shopper and clothes for the pms wife, victoria starmer, both before and after the general election. According to the rules, youre supposed to declare these things within 28 days but that didnt happen. Downing street say they thought they had followed the rules, but after updated advice had declared further items. Now, why does this matter . First, the source of these donations. Lord alli is a huge donor to the labour party. Hes also bought accommodation, clothes and glasses for the pm Worth Tens Of Thousands of pounds. And it follows allegations of cronyism after it emerged Lord Alli was given a temporary Downing Street security pass. Eyebrows have also been raised over whether the Prime Minister is right to take donations for things like this, particularly given his promise to clean up politics. The foreign secretary, david lammy, has said that most Prime Ministers rely on donations for clothing, so they look their best when they represent the uk. But the conservatives are calling for a full investigation into the links between Lord Alli and the Prime Minister. Next to the war in ukraine. The foreign secretary, david lammy, says careful discussions are taking place about whether ukraine will be allowed to fire long range western missiles into russia. Ukraine has repeatedly urged britain and the united states to let it use weapons like the british Storm Shadow Missile to hit targets in russia. Mr lammy told Bbc News today more talks involving the united states will take place later this month. This request from President Zelensky for long range missiles is a long Standing Request hes been making for well over a year. What is important is that allies are able to come together with President Zelensky and ukrainians to assess what is needed now and given the advances in kursk, their desire to keep provost, clearly ukraine has taken back half of the territory that russia took in the donbas region, again a major advance, we want to put ukraine in the strongest position going forward. I cant tell you operationally on air what we will or wont do, and i particularly wont do that at a time when russia is buying Ballistic Missiles from iran and escalating further. But please understand this is under careful discussion with the ukrainians, as we assess what they need as they head into that winter. A Spacex Capsule carrying the crew who undertook the first spacewalk by private astronauts has returned to earth. Standing by for splashdown. Cheering it splashed down off the coast of florida. The four people On Board had travelled further into space than anyone for more than 50 years. 0ur science correspondent, pallab ghosh, reports. You can hear the crowd here in hawthorne getting excited. Hurtling towards the earth, the four Person Crew seems relaxed just after the Dragon Capsule re enters the atmosphere. Arriving in the early hours of the morning, this thermal Camera View shows the smaller parachutes open to start to slow down and then stabilise the capsule. Then the main chutes open, slowing the astronauts down to 15mph. They drift down to splashdown off the coast of florida. Spacex has done this many times before, but there was nothing routine about the Polaris Dawn Mission. Its gone higher than the spacex has ever taken astronauts before. Um, it actually went up three times higher than the the orbit of the international Space Station so that it could dip into the Radiation Belts to understand the effect of that on the human body. Um, it then came down a little bit in orbit and then performed this most amazing spaceflight, in which all four astronauts were actually exposed to the vacuum environment. Billionaire Jared Isaacman became the first private Sector Astronaut to have carried out a spacewalk on thursday, followed by his Crew Member sarah gillis. The crew went higher than any other since the apollo astronauts of the 19605 and � 705. Mr isaacman has paid for two further missions in which hes likely to push the boundaries of Human Spaceflight even further. Pallab ghosh, Bbc News. Its one of televisions big nights later with the Emmy Awards taking place in Los Angeles. Shows including hits like Baby Reindeer and the crown are vying for recognition. Before that, though, is was the traditional bafta red Carpet Tea Party and a chance to celebrate the nominations. 0ur Los Angeles correspondent, emma vardy, went along. No way. Trust me, thats random. 0h. Thank you. Take a five Star Rooftop in beverly hills, some famous faces, and you have the baftas tea party. But No One� s drinking much tea. Its the emmys weekend, and at the warm up, everyone� s a winner. This is where all the stars get to rub shoulders and let their hair down a bit. All right, make this quick. Ive got underlings to bully. Im busy. The Spy Series slow horses, starring Gary 0ldman, has nine nominations, including for best drama. Come on, out you get. Theres another game being played that will probably leave me worse off. First i thought, really, Gary 0ldman� s performance, really . And hesjust mastered it. Its just perfect. Its an honour to be selected for field work. Shut up. The Royal Drama The Crown marks its final series with 18 nominations. All over the world, in their thousands. I think One Of Us is going to have to die now. But its the controversial netflix series, Baby Reindeer, that really got people talking. The drama about stalking and sexual abuse became a massive hit. Got really manly hands, havent you . But the show, which claims to be a true story, is now the subject of a legal battle after audiences tried to identify the characters they believed the show was based on. Its been a whirlwind and im still kind of catching my feet. Im still trying to, like, figure it all out. Anything You Wish had been done differently . I cant really answer that right now because you cant change the past. The uk press, theres an incredible focus on the kind of negative, but you cant ignore the positive impact that Baby Reindeer has had. The fallout from Baby Reindeer could have repercussions for the Tv Industry in the future, in terms of how it deals with drama that involves characters in real life. But right now, theyre here to enjoy their success. Enjoy, ladies. Enjoy. Then itll be down to the Serious Business Of Seeing who will walk away with a new piece of metal for their mantelpiece. Emma vardy, Bbc News, Los Angeles. So what more can expect from Tonights Ceremony . Cynthia littleton, is co editor of variety and is in Los Angeles. She began by telling me awhat she makes of this years most nominated show, � shogun�. Theres no question that shogun, given that it got a near record 25 nominations, goes into this night as the frontrunner. The big winner. Coming out of last weekend, when there were some preliminary awards handed out, it won the most there. So it really seems like Emmy Voters are backing this incredible, intense drama of 16th century feudaljapan. It has all the elements that that voters like in an awards situation. The show took almost ten years to make. It had many setbacks. Its groundbreaking in many ways in terms of presenting a programme. Largely in a great Deal Of it injapanese, with subtitles for american viewers, thats still thats still new. Theyre showcasing a lot of japanese talent that otherwise wouldnt have had this kind of incredible showcase. So its been a breakthrough on a number of levels, and it really feels like the Television Academy is going to reward shogun and its platform, which is fx in the united states. And which shows do you think we should be looking out for in terms of series, but also in terms of the Best Actor Awards as well . I think that there is an incredible, incredible array of talent and its very interesting now in the Acting Awards is a place where Emmy Voters tend to look for the smaller shows, the shows that didnt have the gigantic Marketing Budgets and maybe didnt rack up the ratings, but just delivered incredible talent. Perfect example of that would, i would say, Gary 0ldman in the Apple Tv plus show slow horses. That that show had a very low profile in the in the vast expanse of television, which theres a great Deal Of. But that show is a great actor, great performance, and that is a perfect example of somebody who, just by the strength of their incredible performance, is seen as the frontrunner. But of course, theres a lot of competition from shogun. The crown has some strong contenders. So the Acting Races are very, very competitive and they tend to be. Whereas on the in the race for best comedy, best drama, there tends to be a frontrunner. You tend to feel like you know which ones going to win. The acting battles, the Acting Races, because theyre so theres such a wide field that they can pull from, and because the voting on those races is so wide from actors that those are the ones that are really, you really wont know until the envelope is opened. Finally this half hour a zoo in thailand has imposed a five minute limit on visits to see its most famous attraction a baby pygmy hippo. This is moo deng shes become a sensation, both online and in the flesh, since she was born injune. But thousands of people now visit her every day, causing trafficjams on roads leading to the zoo. The zoo has installed Cctv Cameras around the enclosures and has threatened legal action against anyone who mistreats the baby hippo. Stay with us here on Bbc News. Hello. Sundays really brought out a mixture of weather. In the south, weve had some sunshine, temperatures reached 20 degrees, quite pleasant for the time of year. Across northern ireland, the weather brightened up through the afternoon, but we also had a couple of bands of Rain Across the uk, one across england and wales, and a heavier pulse of rain that worked its way into scotland as well. With this weather front, as it pushed into lancashire, things turned rather murky for a time. Certainly a lot of low cloud associated with that front. The front in scotland clears away very quickly overnight, but the one in England And Walesjust sinks southwards, where it could still be bringing an odd patch of damp weather, an odd bit of drizzle through the night. Quite mild underneath that strip of cloud, but for most of the uk, its quite a chilly night, with temperatures dropping well down into single figures. Now weve still got trouble ahead, with Storm Boris continuing to bring torrential rain into central europe. Its going to be days before these Floods Ebb away. For the uk, we get this area of high Pressure Building through monday, and thats going to be around for most of the week ahead, bringing some fine weather. The main hazard for us is that we could see some Mist And Fog patches, and i think monday morning, were probably going to start off with Mist And Fog across the North And West of the uk, with some poor visibility here. The Fog Wont last very long, the September Sun is still pretty strong. And so through the day, most areas will brighten up with plenty of sunshine to look forward to. And the temperatures running quite close to average really at this time of year. Average in edinburgh is 17 celsius, Average In London is 20 celsius, so 21 celsius is a squeak above. Heading into tuesday, the area of High Pressure is going to reorientate a little bit, sending some slightly milder air northwards. A weak weather front, meanwhile, could bring a zone of cloudier weather with a few patches of Rain Across the northern isles, but otherwise its another fine and dry day, with Mist And Fog patches clearing sunny spells to look forward to, and rising temperatures were up to 21 degrees in glasgow, 21 celsius for london as well. By wednesday, again, if you do see some Mist And Fog patches, theyre most likely across the North And West of the uk. Probably a bit too much in the way of breeze for that across east Anglia And Southeast england. Continuing to get a little bit warmer with top temperatures up to 22 celsius in Northern Areas of scotland, 20 celsius for western counties of northern ireland, but up to 2a Celsius towards parts of southeast england, which is warm for the time of year. And were going to hang on to this dry and relatively sunny weather really through most of the this is Bbc News. The headlines. A Rubber Boat taking migrants across the channel from france to england has sunk off the french coast, killing eight people. Forty five migrants have now died in the channel this year. Heavy rain is still lashing parts of Central And Eastern Europe and has killed at least five people in romania and one each in austria and poland. Israels Prime Minister warns the houthis in yemen of a heavy price, after a Ballistic Missile managed to enter israeli airspace. The missile fell in an open area No One was injured. There you can see. And a successful end to the Polaris Dawn Mission whose four Member Team on thursday completed the first ever commercial spacewalk. The spacex Dragon Capsule safely splashed down off the coast of florida. Now on Bbc News, its sportsday. Hello and welcome to sportsday im 0lly foster.
