11:51 am
police in pakistan have been searching for the trio and have now been accused by their relatives of holding them without any legal justification while doing so. i was joined earlier by our pakistan correspondent, caroline davies. she began by giving us a brief reminder of how the issue has been developing. so, anna, this is the second time that family of urfan sharif, that is the father of sara sharif, have appeared in court. and they've accused the police here in pakistan of illegally detaining them for questioning as they're questioning them, trying to find out where urfan sharif beinash batool and faisal malik. so that is urfan sharif, sarah's father, beinash batool, her stepmother, and faisal malik, her uncle, where they might be within pakistan. now, at the moment, surrey police in the u.k. are saying that they are wanting to speak to those three individuals, but there is no arrest warrant out for them.
11:52 am
they have not been named as suspects. and so the family of urfan sharif have said that the police have absolutely no justification for arresting them and holding them in custody. now, the first time this happened about a week or so ago, we heard from the police saying that they promised that they would not arrest two of urfan sharif�*s brothers in relation to this case. the family have again gone back to court today saying that other family members have been detained by the police. we haven't heard back from the police yet. they are going to give their statements about this on monday. and sara's grandfather's been speaking as well. what has he had to say? yes. at the court, sara's grandfather, who is urfan sharif�*s father, mohammed sharif, told us that sara had visited pakistan on a couple of occasions prior to, of course, her death on the... when her body was discovered on the 10th of august. he described her saying that she was a lovely child. everyone here loved her and remembers her. now, mohammed denies that he knows where irfan sharif and his family where urfan sharif and his family are within pakistan. and so it's not entirely clear still where those family are. the police search is still ongoing.

caroline davies from as the bad. caroline davies from islamabad. one of the world's rarest turtles is settling into her new home after she was found, washed up and freezing cold, on a beach in north wales. tally, as she has become known, is thought to have been swept 4,000 miles across the atlantic by strong currents. now she's back in warmer climes after a major rescue which involved the raf. simonjones has the story. back home in texas and straight back in the water. tally can truly be described as a well—travelled turtle and an extremely lucky one, too. alive today, thanks to the kindness of strangers. this is her incredible story. it was two years ago that the turtle was found washed up in north wales, named tally after talacre beach, where she was spotted by a dog walker. my dog was making a bit of a fuss over what i thought was a pile of seaweed and then walked over and obviously saw that it was a turtle.
11:54 am
initially thought that it was dead — unfortunately but still thought it's a bit weird for a turtle to be in wales on the beach. i don't see many turtles walking the dog, usually. the experts at anglesey sea zoo were called in to try to nurse tally back to health, but there was no guarantee she would survive. she'd normally live in water temperatures of 24 degrees, so the eight degrees of the sea off wales meant her body had started shutting down. but day—by—day, she grew stronger. she got her appetite back. eventually, it was determined she was well enough to go home. tally is a kemp's ridley turtle, a critically—endangered species mainly found in the gulf of mexico. but young turtles can sometimes be swept across the atlantic by the gulf stream. that's how tally ended up on the beach in wales. but her 4,000—mile journey home all the way to texas was a military operation. the raf helped transfer tally from anglesey to heathrow
11:55 am
for her onward flight. a rescue charity described the mission as the furthest and most complex they have ever been involved in, 22 hours of travel in total but months in the planning. she was accompanied on herjourney by her rescuers. tally�*s immediate home is now houston zoo, but the plan later this month is to release her back into the sea in the gulf of mexico. it's hoped she will help ensure the survival of her species and she'll be fitted with a tracking device, meaning we may not have heard the last of tally�*s amazing travels. simon jones, bbc news. now it's time for a look at the weather with simon king. hello there. the 1st september and meteorologically speaking, the first day of autumn. now, this morning, it may have felt a bit autumnal for some of us. we had some mist and fog out there first thing this morning, but that's pretty much now cleared away and we're looking at some fine weather for the rest of today. low pressure yesterday brought us some outbreaks of rain, but higher pressure builds in as we go through the weekend and indeed into the start of next week, as well. what does that mean? well, it means for most of us,
11:56 am
it's going to be dry. there'll be some lengthy spells of sunshine and it's going to turn warmer, as well. but for the rest of today, still some cloud across northern ireland, southern scotland, the far north—northeast of england. a few spots of rain here. showers developing elsewhere across england and wales in between some sunshine. largely dry across scotland this afternoon and maximum temperatures, 17, 18 degrees here, up to about 22, 23 celsius in the south east of england. now, through this evening tonight, any of those showers will tend to fade away. and then really most of us looking at some clear skies, but beneath those clear skies, there'll be some patches of mist and fog forming once again. quite a mild night for england and wales, 12 to 14, a bit chillier across scotland, especially in the countryside. temperatures down into fairly low single figures. so saturday morning, yes, you might wake up to some mist and fog, but that will generally clear away. and for most, it's a dry day with that sunshine. a few showers across south wales and through southern areas of england, those will be very isolated, though. for most, it'll stay
11:57 am
dry and a touch warmer. so saturday afternoon, 21 to 24 degrees. on sunday, almost a repeat performance, one or two patches of mist and fog first thing. there will be further cloud moving its way into the far north and northwest of scotland. some outbreaks of rain here. most though dry, sunny and warm. temperatures widely in the low to mid 20s. a bit chillier, though, where you've got the cloud and outbreaks of rain. now, this is the jet stream. we've been talking about this a lot in the weather recently. it's been positioned across the uk, giving us rain. as we go through in the next few days, it's arching to the north of the uk and that allows warmer air to spread in from the south. so into next week, look at this, plenty of fine and sunny weather around. temperatures potentially in the mid to high 20s, maybe 30 celsius the middle of next week, before a bit more unsettled by friday. bye— bye.

live from london, this is bbc news calls for the uk government to "come clean" on the number of school buildings built with concrete prone to collapse. the super typhoon saola is expected to make landfall in hong kong in the next hours, with winds over one hundred miles per hour. relatives of the people of interest in the investigation into the death of sara sharif say
12:00 pm
they have been ilegally detained. hello, i'm maryam moshiri, welcome to bbc news now, we start here in the uk where the government is facing calls to "come clean" about the scale of the problems facing school buildings in england, after some have been forced to close because they were made with concrete prone to collapse. more than a hundred schools are scrambling to put emergency measures in place before children return from summer holidays — for most, that will be in just a few days time. the closures were announced after ministers said they had seen "new evidence" on the type of concrete — known as raac. so far, a full list of the schools affected has not been made public. schools minister nick gibb told bbc breakfast the government was acting on expert advice in 2018 which has now been changed making urgent action, critical.
