we start in ukraine, where officials say a six—year—old child is among seven people killed in a russian missile strike on the city of chernihiv. more than 100 people are injured. they say a theatre on the main square was targeted. video from the scene shows glass and debris blown across nearby streets, as well as a number of bodies. president zelensky, writing on the telegram messaging app, said russia had turned an "ordinary saturday" into "a day of pain and loss". chernihiv is in northern ukraine, close to the border with belarus. videos of the moment the strike took place in chernihiv have been appearing on social media. this is an image from one video which shows a woman in a white dress posing for a photo as a missile hits a building directly behind her.

bbc verify has geolocated the building as the regional theatre. this is an image from another video which was taken from cctv footage. it shows people running for cover as a missile hits a pedestrianised area and the fire. president zelensky, who's on a visit to sweden, spoke to the media about the events in chernihiv. translation: our bright city of chernihiv. - this morning, russia launched missiles in the very centre of the city where the national drama theatre is located as well as many residential homes. there were many people were in the theatre at the time and many were at home, too. more than 90 people were injured, 12 children among them. they were just taking a walk in the central square with their parents. among the dead is a six—year—old child whose mother

is seriously injured and is in intensive care. my condolences to those who lost their loved ones in this russian, obviously terrorist, attack. our correspondentjames waterhouse is in chernihiv and sent us this update. this is a typical force of the blast caused by a ballistic missile. you can see this car has been effectively thrown against this building. a has branch broken and there is shattered glass everywhere, notjust here, but across the square and neighbouring streets. roof tiles have been blown off and here you can see the building which has borne the brunt of this strike, the regional theatre. you can see the roof is seriously damaged and the windows have been blown out. and on the pavement in front there are bloodstains where emergency teams tried to work on the injured. now, a drone exhibition was being held here today. the organiser has said that everyone was urged to go to the air raid shelter.

there were military guests, and it suggests a possible motive for russia targeting this building. but there is an overarching reason, too. and that is its continued invasion of ukraine. that is why russian missiles continue to land in cities across the country, not necessarily in locations close to the front line, but in areas like chernihiv which it was never able to occupy. this is a city that came under sustained attack early in the full—scale invasion, had enjoyed a relative reprieve in terms of air strikes, but this is a reality now for so many ukrainians, where sirens go off most days and every once in a while you have a scene of devastation like this. meanwhile president putin has paid a visit to rostov—on—don, the city which has become the headquarters for its military offensive in ukraine. video footage showed him arriving at night and being greeted by the country's military

chief, valery gerasimov. it's the first time mr putin's been to rostov since it was briefly the site of a mutiny by mercenaries from the wagner group. a statement from the kremlin said only that he heard reports from mr gerasimov on the progress what it refers to as the "special operation" in ukraine. there are calls for the independent inquiry announced by the uk government into the crimes of the nurse lucy letby to be strengthened. the 33—year—old was found guilty of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six more at the countess of chester hospital betweenjune 2015 and june 2016. the mp for the region welcomed the inquiry, but urged the government to ensure it can compel witnesses to give evidence. the hospital trust is facing more questions about why it didn't take action sooner after concerns were raised over the conduct of the nurse. 0ur north of england correspondent judith moritz reports. lucy letby�*s mugshot is on every front page today. she's finally been exposed as britain's most prolific baby killer.

but for years, this was the way she presented herself to the world as a smiling, caring, young nurse. so why did it take so long for the net to close in? just take seat in there for me, lucy. that's one of the questions that a newly announced independent inquiry will address. but though some feel it is the right approach, there has been criticism of its parameters. i do feel that there are some issues around the non—statutory decision in terms of the inquiry. a non—statutory inquiry would mean that witnesses are not compelled to give evidence, and i think that there are risks that uncooperative witnesses may not come forward and co—operate with it. the inquiry will examine the experience of consultants at the countess of chester hospital who say senior managers ignored their concerns about letby for many months. it was secretive. it wasjudgmental. there was no credibility

given to our opinions. and from january 2017, it was intimidating. bullying, to a certain extent. the consultants believe that lucy letby could have been murdering babies and yet they were forced to send her this apology letter, which says, we'd like to apologise for any inappropriate comments. we're very sorry for the stress and upset that you've experienced during the past year. whilst lucy letby was working at the hospital, it was promoting itself as being a supportive environment for staff. this video has emerged of the former chief executive in 2014. as a chief exec, i pledge to support a culture where the front line staff are supported in raising concerns and more importantly, me listening to them when they do. tony chambers has told the bbc that as chief executive, my focus

was on the safety of the baby unit and the well—being of patients and staff. i was open and inclusive as i responded to information and guidance. the trial and the lengthy police investigation have shown the complex nature of the issues raised. there are also fresh calls for legislation to force criminals to appear in court for sentencing. lucy letby has said she won't be there on monday when sentences passed. we saw it last year in the 0livia, the nine year old in liverpool case, it seems to happen with murders quite frequently, unfortunately, where the defendant, the accused after conviction, doesn't want to see the sentencing. but the sentence is notjust about what the judge says. the sentencing is also about the victim's personal statements. the babies' families will tell the court about the impact that lucy letby�*s actions have had on them. eight years after she first murdered, their grief is still raw. their anger is clear.

dr dan rusu is lecturer in criminology at birmingham city university. i asked him what brings people like lucy letby to carry out such crimes. the motivation for health care serial killers, as they call it in the criminological literature, is notoriously difficult to ascertain. however, we have a few ideas as to what could motivate these individuals. what you'll find, gareth, is that these individuals tend to excuse orjustify their crimes by saying that they were merciful or they tried to kind of end the suffering of their patients. of course, that's nonsense. or you will find some some of these individuals to suffer from this complex of wanting to be a hero and would actually put their patients in danger so they can actually save them afterwards. and, of course, to be praised for that. but it doesn't seem to me that these two motivations were what pushed necessarily lucy letby to commit those crimes, but rather a need for control

and excitement from what i could see in the media and in the notes. with that all considered then, as a criminologist, what would you say are the usual red flags to pick up on with regards to health care serial killers? well, and this is actually quite interesting because lucy letby is quite an extraordinary case in that sense, because the red flags i'm going to suggest or underline are not necessarily all applicable to her. but what the criminological literature has identified is that these individuals tend to have a problem with drug misuse, they tend to have been diagnosed with a personality disorder in the past, to make very odd comments around their colleagues and to make them feel anxious and to kind of change employment quite often, and of course, to have a higher incidence of death on their words. ——of death on their wards. and this is what's extraordinarily extraordinary about this case, because it doesn't seem that

all these flags apply to the case. in fact, not only that she didn't necessarily make all the comments, but she was quite well integrated in the hospital. she was very good at what the american sociologist erwin goffman would say is impression management. she was very good at manipulating the impressions of others of her to the extent where at some point, as we've all read in print media, she was the face of a public funding campaign for the wards. so she was actually deflecting attention away from her, which has made it ever so more difficult to think of her as being capable of such violence. and briefly, dan, what can we take from this incidence? what learnings are there to ensure that there aren't other undetected cases such as this? of course, i think the point is that we should focus on prevention rather than on reaction when it's too late. and i suppose we need to kind of foster a culture of whistle—blowing. we need to understand that even though the great majority of nurses, 99% of them, if not more, are absolutely doing a greatjob in this country, we should be

thankfulfor theirjobs. there will be some cases of health care workers who are capable of such violence, and if we understand that, then we wouldn't be so bewildered when we come across that. but of course, there's other things that we should be putting in place, you know, maybe spotting emotional distress earlier, offering more support to health care workers and so forth. bbc news has been told that two police teams in north punjab in pakistan have been assigned to find the father of a 10—year—old girl found dead in in surrey. sara sharif”s body was found at herfamily home in woking, in the early hours of 10th august. her father umar sharif, his partner beinash batool and his brother faisal malik all left the uk for pakistan a day before — on the 9th of august. pakistan police told the bbc they had been asked by the country's federal investigation agency to try to find umar sharif, but not arrest him. surrey police want to speak

to him in connection with their murder inquiry. 0ur correspondent leigh milner has been at the scene in woking. if you just look behind me, you can see just how the community have responded to this incident. there are plenty of cards, messages from the well—wishers that have visited all throughout the morning. in fact, i spoke to one dad who came this morning with his two little children. they came to lay flowers and he just said he couldn't get it out of his head what had happened. now, what the police have told us is, they've given us an insight into what has happened inside this house and how it all came about. well, it turns out that a 999 call was made from pakistan, and that call came from sarah's father, 41—year—old urfan sharif. it turns out he had traveled there the day before with the entire family, and they had one—way tickets. and that's exactly why this is now turned into an international manhunt. they're currently looking for him along with his brother,

faisal malik, and his partner, beinash batool. now, they traveled to pakistan with their five children. we don't yet know where they are, but the police here are working with authorities over there. what we also know is that a post—mortem examination has been carried out on sara's body. they haven't yet found out what the cause of death was, but police did find out some rather disturbing details about how she may have been living. we have identified three people we would like to speak to as part of the ongoing investigation. sara's father urfan sharif, his partner beinash batool, and urfan's brother faisal malik. it is believed irfan travelled to islamabad in pakistan in company with his partner and his brother on wednesday, the 9th of august. the post—mortem did, however, reveal that sara had suffered multiple and extensive injuries, which are now likely to have been caused over a sustained and extended period of time.

the fact that we now know that sara had suffered injuries over an extended period has significantly changed the nature of our investigation, and we have widened the timescale and the focus of our inquiry. now, going forward, if these individuals are found, it is going to be tricky. if they don't volunteer themselves, it would most likely involve an extradition. and for that to happen, they would need enough evidence to convince both the courts here in the uk and in pakistan. and because there's no extradition treaty between pakistan and the uk, this whole process could in fact take years. but at the moment, the manhunt continues for those three individuals. two israeli men have been shot dead in a suspected palestinian attack in the occupied west bank. both are said to be civilians. the gunman is reported to have shot the men with a handgun inside a carwash in the village

of huwara, south of nablus. the palestinian militant groups hamas and islamichhad have praised the killings. the israeli military has set up roadblocks nearby. huwara has long been a flashpoint — israelis travel to and from settlements on a main road that runs through it. the national weather service in the united states has issued its first ever tropical storm warning for california. hurricane hilary is currently a category four hurricane, with winds of up to 145 miles — or 230 kilometres — an hour. it's expected to make landfall soon in the mexican state of baja california seen here. black warning flags are flying and police have been closing roads. across the region locals have been preparing for the hurricane, as here in the resort of cabo san lucas. there are warnings of "potentially catastrophic" flooding, although forecasters think the storm will lose some wind speed as it reaches southern california. there — preparations are also under way, including work to shore up hillsides. officials are worried

about landslides and major flooding. the last tropical storm to hit california was in 1939 — over 80 years ago. this map shows the predicted path the storm may take. president biden spoke about the preparations under way. i also want to note that my team is closely monitoring hurricane hilary, which has the potential to bring significant rain and flooding to southern california. fema has prepositioned personnel and supplies in the region, and they are ready to respond as needed. i urge everyone, everyone in the path of the store and to take precautions and listen to the guidance of state and local officials. the police service of northern ireland has confirmed that a notebook lost by one of its officers contained details of more than a0 staff. the notebook and a laptop fell from the top of a moving police car after being left there by mistake.

here's our news reporter in belfast, jennifer 0'leary, talking about the possible dangers police offcers now face. here in northern ireland it matters for many police officers to keep what they do, who they work for a secret from many of their friends and indeed some of even family members, so this latest incident is causing alarm. the police officers, of course, are under threat from dissident republicans, as you said. what we know so far is on thursday afternoon, a psni's officer's notebook and laptop fell from the top of a moving vehicle on a stretch of motorway north of the city of belfast. sections of the notebook were recovered. the laptop was immediately recovered and what is described as deactivated but some parts of the notebook are still missing.

the psni says there affected have been contributed. —— contacted. but it comes just on the back of a very recent major data breach, which saw the release of the details of 10,000 employees, their surnames and initials and those details, the psni chief constable recently confirmed, are in the hands of dissident republicans. and what's more, last month a document containing the names of more than 200 psni staff were stolen from a private vehicle. this latest incident is causing alarm and an investigation is under way, but further alarm for further police officers in northern ireland who remain under threat from dissident republicans. jennifer, considering these data breaches, notjust one, but two or three of them now, are we getting any reports, any indication that officers are leaving the force or moving away from their duty? there have been some reports

of officers deeply distressed, contacting the union, considering moving away from northern ireland, in some cases. evidentially, those who have actually stepped forward to do so, it remains unclear. but it is a major embarrassment for the psni and it has potentially real—world consequences for police officers who have to discreetly check under their vehicles every time before they leave their home to go to work. let's get some of the day 5 other news now. the authorities on tenerife say forest fires still raging out of control are the "most complex" to hit spain's canary islands in more than a0 years. the fires have been fanned by strong winds and high temperatures. 26,000 people have now been forced to evacuate their homes in the mountainous north of the island. the blaze broke out earlier this week in the national park around the mount teide volcano. china has launched major military

exercises around taiwan. it comes after a visit to the us this week by the frontrunner to become the self—governing island's president. beijing claims taiwan as its own and said the drills were aimed at discouraging taiwanese independence. the islands foreign minister has accused china of acting like a "bully next door". a leading member of the opposition in pakistan, shah mahmood qureshi, has been detained in islamabad. he's vice chairman of the pti, the party of the former prime minister, imran khan, who's currently injail on corruption charges. mr qureshi's arrest by a large police contingent at his home came shortly after he held a news conference in which he said the pti would challenge any delay in holding elections in line with the constitution. the western canadian province of british columbia has declared a state of emergency as the country deals with its worst wildfire season on record. the city of kelowna is under threat after embers blew across a lake from neigbouring west kelowna.

residents of the remote northern city of yellowknife, which is threatened by a huge wildfire, have been scrambling to leave. an official deadline to evacuate has already passed. football, and excitement is building ahead of sunday's women's world cup final when england take on spain. in the last hour prince william has posted this good luck message to the lionesses — he was joined by his daughter princess charlotte. lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow. we're sorry we can't be there in person. but we're so proud of everything you've achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world. so go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves. good luck, lionesses! neither england or their opponents spain have made it this far in the tournament before. for spain, it's a remarkable turnaround for a squad that have only won just one of their previous seven world cup matches before this tournament. on top of that, behind the scenes there's been plenty of turmoil, too. shaimaa khalil now takes a look at spain's dramaticjourney to the final and how this tournament has inspired the younger generation.

and down! gabi lopez has been following his national team's phenomenal rise in the women's world cup down under. as a former player in spain's second division, this final hits very close to home. i've been watching the tv in spain, the radio, and everybody was not talking about the final. everybody. my family were commentating. i've never seen that before. i'm still playing, i'm a coach, and i can say now aitana, alexia, jennifer and i can say, wow, they are amazing. so i think for the kids, for the coaches, for the players, it's amazing that women's football is that big. you wouldn't notice it at first glance, but this team, now one win away from world cup glory, has been marred by so much tension and unrest. at the centre of that is head coachjorge vilda. tensions followed last year's euros defeat against england, with 15 players threatening to quit over concerns about his training methods and inadequate game preparation. cracks were obvious after their

humiliating loss against japan. all through the tournament, the deep divisions threatened to spill over on the pitch. it has been a rough year for them, between the players, with the coach. and i think they have just understood that they have to just lay that on one side and just be focused on the world cup, trying to get the best of themselves on the pitch, and i think they have really achieved it. spain managed to write a different story on the pitch. it's a squad that delivers beautiful football, a team chock full of talent who mostly come from barcelona's dominant women's team. the teenage star salma paralluelo, a former runner, has scored in the quarter and semifinals and is now one of the standout players of this tournament. salma paralluelo, i think it's crazy that she'sjust19 years old and she'sjust been fully committed to football for one year. probably she will be one of the best players in the next years. spain's team has exceeded expectations at every crucial junction of this tournament. they've managed to put deep

differences aside and create memorable moments on the pitch. they now face england, a formidable foe, for a chance to lift that trophy for the first time. but no matter what the result is, this women's world cup has inspired a whole new generation of young players. it's a testament to how far the women's game has come that many of the players who grew up with only male role models have now themselves become idols. now there's a real opportunity to get into soccer, like there's somewhere to go afterwards. i think that women's popularity has improved a lot. it'sjust been really inspiring - to watch them break so many records. the countdown to the final is on, and there are some very strong opinions here. spain. england. spain. england! shaimaa khalil, bbc news, sydney.

low teens. 0n towns and cities around about the low teens. on sunday, all eyes are on sydney. after a lovely winters day of weather, by the time we reach kick off into the evening, temperatures around 17 degrees with a light breeze. dry, clear skies. as we head through sunday morning, the same time kick off happens, we will have some showers if you are watching outdoors. it is almost in the south—east, with temperatures reaching the mid 20s. and then looking ahead internationally, low—pressure sticking with us in the south—west. high pressure, then things turn a little more unsettled for all by the mid to end part of next week. yet as monday. we have a weather front bringing outbreaks of rain towards the west coast of scotland. parts of northern ireland as well. elsewhere, largely dry with as well. elsewhere, largely dry with a view showers. a misty start across southern england, but that will lift on the afternoon is set fair with some sunshine. temperatures climbing a little into the middle may be high 20s across parts of the east and

now on bbc news, panorama — beyond human: artificial intelligence and us. machines are getting smarter... ..much smarter. there's no reason an artificial brain couldn't be as capable as a biological brain. where will the artificial intelligence revolution take us? now we're thinking about building tools that could be very, very powerful and very dangerous on their own. are we being careful enough about what machines are learning from? in many cases, it isjust garbage in and garbage out.

if you are harvesting the entire internet, you will have so many horrifying things. what happens if a computer's your boss? you are guilty or not guilty, there is no grey area in this. or when it can read your mind? the first thing that we thought| when we got this working was, like, "this is fantastic. it's working!" and then, like, "oh, my god. this is working." so, should we fear what that future might bring? i think the biggest danger is not what machines will do to people, but what people will do with machines to other people. machines have always needed humans to tell them what to do — but the artificial intelligence revolution is changing that.
