in buenos aires, far—right populist javier milei rocks argentina's political establishment, coming first in the presidential primaries. we take a look at the man behind the votes. very good morning to you. prosecutors in the us state of georgia have charged donald trump with trying to overturn the results of the last presidential election. the former president is facing 13 counts including racketeering, solicitation of violation of oath by a public officer and conspiracy. the indictment document says mr trump knowingly and willinglyjoined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the election in georgia and elsewhere.

18 others, including his then chief of staff, mark meadows, and his lawyer, rudy giuliani, have also been indicted. mr trump has denied wrongdoing and has described the investigation as politically motivated. it's the fourth criminal case to be brought against him since he left office. let's take a listen to what fulton county district attorney fani willis said a short time ago. the indictment alleges that rather than abide by georgia was mike whittall process for election challenges, defendants engaged in a criminal racketeering enterprise to overturn georgia's presidential election result. subsequent to the indictment, as is the normal process in georgia law, the grand jury issued arrest warrants for those who are charged. i am giving the defendants the opportunity to

voluntarily surrender no later than noon on friday the 25th day of august, 2023. earlier, donald trump's campaign issued a statement. let's speak now to sean dilley, our north america correspondent, live from washington, dc. good morning. morning! talk us through the latest developments. 13 felony charges, 41 charges overall for him and 18 others. charged under racketeering laws, very much what you'd ordinarily be used to seeing in wild—type setups, suggesting that but these are the laws of

georgia have charged donald trump and others with. on the face of it to be quite a bit of overlap in a separate federal case being prosecuted in washington, dc. where donald trump is already being charged with attempting to cheat the election, but this one has got slightly different nuances minute. it does focus on 2 january 2021, to the georgian top lawmaker with donald trump that he wanted him to find 11,780 votes. he sensed and recently yesterday described that as a perfect telephone call, clearly fani willis, the broker in the case, disagrees donald trump again repeating what he said another prosecution is that they've had 2.5 years to investigate this and he is questioning the timing given the proximity to the election. in timing given the proximity to the election.— the election. in terms of timescale, _ the election. in terms of timescale, tell- the election. in terms of timescale, tell us - the election. in terms of timescale, tell us what i the election. in terms of- timescale, tell us what happens now. what can we expect and how long will this play out? it’s long will this play out? it's an interesting _ long will this play out? it�*s an interesting question, doing

digging into local georgia laws, ordinarily you'd expect what's known as the arraignment, the first appearance, the start if you like of the criminal trial process, would normally happen in a few days ordinarily. the prosecutor in this case as she is giving the defendants 19 defendants until midday local time on friday to voluntarily surrender but in donald trump's case certainly hears a secret service protective. that means the secret service and local law enforcement have to discuss that timing. more will be clear over the next 12—24 hours. in terms of the timing of the trial prosecution that they will ask whether it's possible to bring this to trial within the next six months but what would be likely to happen as with the other cases is that mr trump los lotharios would say hang on, we have two years of investigations, the grand jury have interviewed 75 witnesses, the evidence in the case is enormous and we need time to

look into that. from the prosecution perspective, getting this out of the way quickly would have advantages. he is facing trials in other cases in march in new york over allegations that he uses businesses to hide payments to a porn star. in may he is going on trial in florida over the classified documents retention case on espionage and obstruction charges. no date has been set for the federal case that's being posited in washington, dc on special prosecutorjack smith. but that's the case that's got the closest relation to this case in georgia. one point some people are making and again i feel they're getting slightly feel they�* re getting slightly ahead feel they're getting slightly ahead of themselves to a great point because we don't know what the results will be, everybody is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law but on federal convictions if hypothetically they happened it would be the power up an elected president to pardon themselves whereas with state cases they can't do that. i with state cases they can't do that. ., ., ., a that. i have to ask, politically, - that. i have to ask, politically, none i that. i have to ask, politically, none of| that. i have to ask, - politically, none of this

that. i have to ask, _ politically, none of this seems that you donald trump much harm. with every indictment he seems to get more popular with his base. 50 seems to get more popular with his base. ., ., , his base. so far that is interesting. _ his base. so far that is interesting. i- his base. so far that is interesting. i try - his base. so far that is interesting. i try to - his base. so far that is - interesting. i try to explain this a lot. it's in the republican party that there are being a couple of pulse just people wavering about some of the legal troubles but there are two elements. the republican party because donald trump is by far the frontrunner to when his party's nomination to when his party's nomination to run for president, that's the important one, he does not need to worry about the president reflection until he wins. his closest rival ron desantis is many double digits behind him, more than 30 points, so he is looking to use the metaphor donald trump himself used, the train is in motion, and be hard to stop that. funny thing how the american public as a whole democrats, republicans and undecided voters react to these cases being played out in public, that's not the question. new york times politics with joe question. new york times politics withjoe biden and donald trump at 43% each which

is interesting if you consider the background to all of these cases that are ongoing. but these timeframes are going to be important. if you for the second underlying appoint the prosecutors have made that everybody is innocent until proven guilty, in any best case scenario for the donald trump all of the court cases will take him out of the campaign race while he sits in courtrooms are not speaking to people publicly. he will have to use them as a campaigning store, he has tried to within the limitations ofjudges are going to allow him to do but certainly despite seeing in alabama last week and it one more indictment to close election doubt this will be massive headache for him. thank ou so massive headache for him. thank you so much. _ massive headache for him. thank you so much, sean _ massive headache for him. thank you so much, sean dilley - massive headache for him. thank you so much, sean dilley and - you so much, sean dilley and washington. we'll come back to you if there are developments, i am sure. £31 you if there are developments, i am sure-— officials in hawaii have now confirmed the death toll from wildfires which severely

impacted the island of maui has risen to 99. the wildfires destroyed the town of lahaina. officials say the search for victims has been painstaking and slow and warned it could take at least 10 more days. almost a week on from this disaster, more than 1,000 people are still unaccounted for. live now to helena humphrey in maui. we humphrey in maui. have a grim statistic of a hundred we have a grim statistic of a hundred ad, sadly. it we have a grim statistic of a hundred ad, sadly.— we have a grim statistic of a hundred ad, sadly. it is a grim but we are _ hundred ad, sadly. it is a grim but we are also _ hundred ad, sadly. it is a grim but we are also warned - hundred ad, sadly. it is a grim but we are also warned here l but we are also warned here that it but we are also warned here thatitis but we are also warned here that it is likely to rise further in the coming days and the governor speaking at a press conference. the government building behind me where flags are at half—mast because of the death will likely continue to go up for at least ten days. it could double. that was his warning. the reasoning for that is the search—and—rescue and recovery sea rch—and—rescue and recovery site search—and—rescue and recovery site of lahaina is incredibly delicate and fragile and sober recovery teams in that area

have only been able to comb around 25% of it with cadaver sniffer dogs so that is one of the reasons why it's taking so long because they have to try and first locate people's remains and then carefully remove them so identification can take place. it's an utterly devastating situation. the governor has spoken more about the response. governor has spoken more about the re5ponse-_ the response. take a lesson. as i showed earlier _ the response. take a lesson. as i showed earlier the _ the response. take a lesson. as i showed earlier the skill- i showed earlier the skill destruction is incredible so our— destruction is incredible so our hearts are broken even more than _ our hearts are broken even more than we — our hearts are broken even more than we were together. with the extra _ than we were together. with the extra fatalities 40 hours ago. also — extra fatalities 40 hours ago. also you _ extra fatalities 40 hours ago. also you know we are well over 2200 _ also you know we are well over 2200 structures that have been destroyed, 86% residential. the disaster— destroyed, 86% residential. the disaster relief is here. you saw— disaster relief is here. you saw fema, small business association, the outpouring of surlport — association, the outpouring of support. but i can tell you is this — support. but i can tell you is this it's _ support. but i can tell you is this. it's gonna take time, a lot of— this. it's gonna take time, a lot of time. as they go through

let's look at some other stories making news. the government has announced £250 million in funding to provide an extra five thousand nhs hospital beds in england this winter. ministers say 900 new beds should be ready byjanuary, with the remainder to follow soon after, helping to lower record waiting lists. the increase will mean nearly 100,000 permanent beds on wards and in a&e. almost 34,000 online grooming crimes have been recorded by uk police while children have been waiting for online safety laws to be passed, new figures from the nspcc reveal.data from 42 uk police forces shows the number of online grooming offences against children recorded last year is up by 82% in the last six years. the union which represents university lecturers and staff has threatened more strikes next month if employers do not return to negotiations over pay and conditions. the university and college union said its marking boycott, which has left some students unable to graduate

this summer, would continue. universities described the decision as extremely disappointing. you're live with bbc news. to argentina now where far—right politician javier milei has received the highest share of votes in the country's primary election. the primary is seen as a key indicatorfor the presidential election in october. mr milei exceeded expectations by winning 30% of votes and argentine media have described the result as a "political earthquake". but who is javier milei? he is a former tv personality and despite serving as a congressmen since 2021, he likes to portray himself as a political outsider. the 52—year—old has said that if elected, he would abolish argentina's central bank and replace the peso with the us dollar. he also proposes loosening gun controls. mr milei has also stated that he is opposed to abortion

unless the mother's life is at risk. wand is a climate—change denier. well, the country is also facing more economic turmoil after a sudden decision to devalue the peso after mr milei's surprise victory. lets speak now to amy booth. she's the managing editor of the buenos aires herald which is an english language news website. an interesting character. what is the mood on the ground in buenos aires. i is the mood on the ground in buenos aires.— buenos aires. i think it depends a _ buenos aires. i think it depends a lot - buenos aires. i think it depends a lot on - buenos aires. i think it depends a lot on who l buenos aires. i think it i depends a lot on who you buenos aires. i think it - depends a lot on who you speak to. a lot of people who support the current government which is a sort of centre—left coalition, they are very shocked, very upset by the idea that as you said a guy that holds some extremist postures and views has the chance of getting into us. what this also

tells us is that there are far more people who support him and who voted for him. as we said, 30% of people in the primary �*s voted for him. there was a province where he got very nearly 50%, 46.7% in the province of san luis so a lot of people, whether explicitly or not, they are probably quite happy about it. it or not, they are probably quite happy about it— happy about it. it feels some similarities, _ happy about it. it feels some similarities, former - happy about it. it feels some similarities, former tv - similarities, former tv personality, that i ran through there. busy styling himself as a kind donald trump? is styling himself as an outsider, as someone who doesn't want to have to deal with this politics nonsense and is going to come in and sort it all out so in that sense, i think you can draw a comparison with donald trump but at the same time, this is a guy who is

libertarian, remember. trump at times had some quite protectionist policies and there is also this question in there is also this question in the case of javier there is also this question in the case ofjavier milei, the case of javier milei, because the case ofjavier milei, because trump was the republican party's candidate republican pa rty�*s candidate whereas republican party's candidate whereas this guy, he surged to prominence very quickly but it's not very clear and he would govern because his coalition, it has very little presence in the congress. he has been losing governorship elections in argentina's provinces and so it's quite likely he would have to make a number of compromises and alliances if you were to be elected which, remember, is not guaranteed. could you talk is through the election process. not guaranteed but how likely given his popularity, what happens from here? argentina

has a first _ happens from here? argentina has a first round _ happens from here? argentina has a first round on _ happens from here? argentina has a first round on october. happens from here? argentinaj has a first round on october 22 and for a candidate to win in the first round, they have to get either 45% or more of the vote or they need to get 40% of the vote with a margin of at least ten percentage points over the runner up and since we had a fairly even split between the current peronist government, the mainstream opposition and milei, we are talking 30%, 28 and 27% or something, probably no—one will win in the first round is what we're looking at is a run—off, that would be top two. if milei is the top candidate and the opposition candidates will be looking at milei against patricia billerica. she is also pretty hard right character. she has a lot of discount —— discourse around law and order. patricia bullrich. so it could

be milei against bullrich or it could also be milei against sergio massa, the current economics minister, fairly centrist. and there is also the chance that there could be some kind of disaster for milei and he does not make it through but at the moment it's looking pretty likely he could at least make the run—off. pretty likely he could at least make the run-off.— pretty likely he could at least make the run-off. amy booth, the managing _ make the run-off. amy booth, the managing editor— make the run-off. amy booth, the managing editor of - make the run-off. amy booth, the managing editor of the - the managing editor of the buenos aires herald. to russia next — where at least 27 people have been killed, and three children, in an explosion in the southern dagestan region. it happened at a petrol station in the regional capital late on monday night local time. footage shared online shows the aftermath of the explosion. local media reports say a fire started in an area where cars were parked and then spread

to the petrol station, sparking the explosion. and this footage was released by the russian emergencies ministry. hundreds of firefighters battled to control the fire. many of those who were injured have been flown to moscow for treatment, with fears the death toll could rise further. a typhoon has made landfall injapan, lashing the coast with heavy rain and powerful winds up to 150km/h. typhoon lan made landfall in wakayama around 400 kilometres south—west of tokyo. it's the second major storm to reach japanese shores in two weeks. these are the latest pictures from japan's kobe port. the storm has already knocked power out to tens of thousands of homes and has caused widespread travel disruption. that's affected the plans of millions of japanese who've returned to their ancestral homes for the annual obon holiday. officials in india say almost 60 people are now known to have

died after heavy rainfall triggered flooding and landslides in the northern himalayan states. days of torrential downpours have seen vehicles and railway tracks washed away and buildings and bridges destroyed. meteorologists have issued a red alert for two states on monday but say they expect rainfall to lighten from tuesday onwards. siddhat bakaria is from the sahyog foundation, an environmental charity in the affected areas. he describes the destruction. the whole administration is rescuing the people who are under debris and the people who are covered by a lot of debris. and some people lost their lives and some people are injured and still rescue is going on. and even the whole administration is directing people to stay in their in their houses, in their workplaces, where they are working. so this way, the whole system

is going on right now. the central government aided before, and they are supporting the people who lost their lives before, also because there was huge destruction in manali as well before this flood. so right now, the state government and central government is looking after the people who lost their lives, who lost their houses, who lost a loved one. so, i mean, if we talk about the reason for this mass destruction, which happens in this month, today, even so, i mean, we should look at the whole forest policy, which should be amended. and if we work in that way, we work for deforestation, we work for illegal mining so that can be a cure for them. recapping on

oui’ our top story stop prosecutors in the us state of georgia have charged donald trump are trying to overturn the results of the last presidential election. the former resident _ last presidential election. the former resident is _ last presidential election. the former resident is facing 13 counts including racketeering, solicitation, violation of oath by a public officer and conspiracy indicates that stems from a january two phone call in which trump urged georgia's top elected to find enough votes to reverse his narrow loss in the state. more on this throughout the morning. this is bbc news. there were certainly winners and losers with monday's weather. morning cloud gradually broke up and infact, newquay, cornwall, it was warm enough to venture out to the beach into the afternoon. it was a different story across parts of north wales and northern england. in fact, we saw over two inches of rain, 60 millimetres of rain in some places and it was a pretty dismal day. now that low pressure is gradually drifting its way eastwards off into the north sea,

allowing this ridge of high pressure to build. so a much quieter start to the story for tuesday. there will be some sunny spells as we go through the day. a few scattered showers will tend to develop particularly heavy ones across parts of southern scotland and north—east england, maybe with the odd rumble of thunder. but certainly with more sunshine and lighter winds, it will feel a little warmer. top temperatures possibly as high as 24 degrees, 75 fahrenheit. now, as we go through tuesday evening, we'll continue to see some clearing skies, some patchy mist and fog will form. some of it dense in places and quite stubborn to lift away. it will be a relatively mild start to wednesday morning, with temperatures widely into the low to mid—teens. high pressure is going to build as we go through the day on wednesday. so once we've got rid of those misty, murky conditions, first thing in the morning, a few scattered showers perhaps across scotland and northeast england,

but on the whole, dry, settled and sunny foremost and a little warmer as well. we could see temperatures peaking at 25 celsius. that's 77 fahrenheit. warmer still as we go into thursday, a lot of dry, settled, sunny weather once again across england and wales. some patchy coastal mist and murk may be lingering in the far south—west, but temperatures could peak once again widely into the mid 20s. maybe one or two spots in the south—east could see temperatures into the high 20s. and that's because we're going to continue to tap into some warmth that's coming up from the near continent, not the extreme heat that they have been seeing, but certainly as we head towards friday, we'll see an increasing spell of heat and humidity. but at the same time, it comes with a caveat as this weather front pushes in from the west on friday, it could trigger off some sharp and thundery downpours

as it continues to track its way steadily east.
