Is not overfor some parts of the state, as torrential rain continues to fall in the wake of Tropical Storm harvey. The flooding has forced a number of oil and gas refineries to shut down, affecting almost a quarter of americas fuel output. At least 20 people are known to have died. The storm has now moved on to neighbouring louisiana. From houston, james cook reports. This is what Hurricane Harvey did to houston. Believe it or not, the water has gone down and still swathes of the city look like this. Lives have been lost, homes have been ruined and people are still trapped. From the air, we spotted this couple, desperate for help. Whats happening now is that weve seen these people in the water down below, they re clearly in need of help. Theres a boat, just a few blocks away, but it cant get to them. It cant see them, so were going to use the helicopter to try to guide them in. Slowly, carefully, we help them find one another. A helicopter directing a boat along a leafy street, suburban america turned upside down. They made it. Just seconds later we spotted this, fire and flood and no way in for the firefighters. This was a five minute slice of the drama which has been unfolding in the skies over houston for days. And not just houston, this is port arthur in neighbouring louisiana where harvey has hit again. The hurricane may have been downgraded to a Tropical Storm, but it still packs a powerful punch. With a0 inches of rain here, theyre taking what they can as they help their children escape. Back in downtown houston, still dazed, but at least theyre dry. The people of this city do now have a chance to take stock and they know there are struggles ahead. Make some room. Thank you, guys. Rodman young is now homeless in his own city after his house was flooded when two reservoirs spilt over. Its sad. It is sad and you feel a little bit hopeless because youre losing all your stuff and they only gave us, from the point we woke up, a couple of hours sleep and we were fighting the waters at our house. Here people formed a chain to help an elderly man who was trapped in his car. The human touch that has brought people together plain to see. As it moves across the Southern United States the wake of this storm is widening and so is the damage. The bleak legacy of Hurricane Harvey will be felt for years to come. James cook, bbc news, houston. It has been wreaking havoc on the Energy Industry in the us. 18 refineries in texas have been closed fully or partially, including the largest. I spoke to someone on the latest picture. 31 of largest. I spoke to someone on the latest picture. 3196 of the us refining industry has been affected. To put that in perspective, prior to this event, those refineries were processing 6 Million Barrels a day of crude oil. Now it is 1 million. It is affecting markets. Obviously, water causes damage to electrical installations. How long as it take to get a refinery back up and running . We have experienced the most flooding in the port after area. most flooding in the port after area. Port arthur. If it goes above electrical motors, it could ta ke above electrical motors, it could take six ten weeks. Corpus christi had a windows and, not a water event those refineries said they are ready to start ups. Wind event. In houston, the issue has been the delivery of crude oil. We have seen some announcements in the 2a previous hours to start up again. Are consumers feeling the impact yet . Yes. We are seeing the whole price of gasoline rising 20 and 30 cents per gallon in the rockys. It is rising 3 cents a gallon every day and it will continue for the next 57 and it will continue for the next 5 7 days. And it will continue for the next 57 days. Some concerns about jet fuel as well. That is correct. If you think about it, the only place it it comes from is refineries. With so it it comes from is refineries. With so much capacity on the gold gulf coast, they will see some issues u nless coast, they will see some issues unless they can get back up and operating. We have seen a cargo of jet fuel diverted from the middle east to the us. As Hurricane Harvey moves to louisiana, what are your concerns . The biggest is the port arthur and lake charles area, where there is three refineries. I am not concerned about the refining industry itself. They have 14 of the nations capacity. This storm is headed north through central louisiana and into tennessee. And we will keep you posted on that. For now, some other news for you. The red cross says bangladesh is suffering its worst flooding in decades and that its being largely ignored by the international community. It says entire communities have been cut off and many are short of food and clean water. More than 1,200 people have now died across india, bangladesh and nepal in the worst flooding to strike south asia in years. The us military has acknowledged that there are about 11,000 american troops currently in afghanistan, significantly more than previously disclosed. Officials say the new figure includes temporary and covert units as well as regular forces. Last week, President Trump announced plans to send another 4,000 more personnel to fight taliban insurgents. The brother and son of guatemalas president have gone on trial for corruption, in a case involving several hundred fake food deliveries. The mother of the sons then girlfriend billed the government for 12,000 for breakfasts that were never delivered. The alleged episode took place two years beforejimmy morales became president , but it has damaged his popularity nonetheless. The european parliaments co ordinator for the brexit negotiations, Guy Verhofstadt has said theres increasing evidence that eu citizens in britain and british citizens in the eu were being treated like foreigners. He told a committee of meps that such behaviour was against the law, while britain remained part of the bloc. President trump has said talking is not the answer to the north korea missile crisis. Pyongyang warned tuesdays missile test overjapan was the first step of military operations in the pacific. Despite the president s comments, the American Defence secretary, james mattis, insisted there is still room for diplomacy in dealing with north korea. From tokyo, Rupert Wingfield hayes reports. These are the first pictures of north koreas latest and most provocative missile launch. As expected, kim jong un was on hand to give his personal guidance. The north korean dictator gazes skywards as the missile flies towards japan. And along with the pictures came this statement from north koreas state media. North koreas statement shows the ultimate target of yesterdays test was not here injapan, but the us Pacific Island of guam, with its huge military bases, and that north korea intends more such tests. So what can be done to stop it . Last night in new york, the Un Security Council members, including china, were unanimous in condemning north korea. Today, the cracks have already begun to appear. From President Trump came this tweet, ruling out any prospect of talks. Here injapan, Prime Minister theresa may said china must now do something. We want to work with International Partners to see what further pressure can be brought on north korea. And of course particularly look at what china can do. In beijing, Chinas Foreign Ministry spokeswoman had this rather caustic response. Translation some countries dash forward when it comes to imposing sanctions but hide away when it comes to asking for peace talks. This is not the attitude of a responsible nation. There is growing suspicion that north korea could not have developed this new missile so fast by itself. There is also agreement that it must be stopped. But there is none on how to do it. China wants talks. The us, britain and japan, more sanctions. Meanwhile, north korea is almost certainly preparing for its next test. Rupert wingfield hayes, bbc news, in tokyo. The brother of the manchester bomber will go on trial in libya in the next two months in connection with the attack in may which left 22 people dead. Hashem abedi was arrested in libya shortly after the Suicide Attack carried out by his brother salman. But in an exclusive interview with the bbcs 0rla guerin, the prosecutor in the case said their father has been released. This is hashem abedi just after he was taken into custody by a counterterrorism unit in tripoli. The bbc has learned hes been directly questioned here several times by british police. Libyas chief investigator told us the authorities here believe he played a key role in the attack. Translation all the signs point to hashem being directly involved, assisting his brother and collecting the materials for the suicide bombing, which took a lot of innocent lives in manchester. Do you expect to see hashem abedi on trial here this year . Of course, all the investigations will be completed in two months at most. Anything needed from the general prosecutor or the police will be ready for the court. The authorities here have detained another relative of the abedi brothers, Mohamed Younis abedi. They say his credit card was used to buy ingredients for the bomb and they have given police a list of others in the uk they want to be interviewed. Translation these people should be questioned to get more information about the suspects, their movements, their ideologies, if there were any sign they were going to carry out the attack. Theyre not necessarily suspects themselves but its important to get information from them. But libyan investigators have now finished with Ramadan Abedi, the father of hashem and salman. We went to his home on the outskirts of tripoli. Hes already back here with his family but we were told he was tired and did not want to comment. Well, we have tried to speak to Ramadan Abedi but hes been unwilling to see us. The authorities have told us they have no reason to hold him any longer in this case. He is now a free man but not free to leave the country. They want him to remain in libya in case they have any further questions and hell have to check in with police from time to time. A relative told us Ramadan Abedi was shocked at what his son, salman, had done. No father wants his child to be a suicide bomber, he said. He told us the family was now happy at the release of an innocent man. 0rla guerin, bbc news, tripoli. Stay with us on bbc news.

An Early Morning car crash in a paris underpass ended a life with more than its share of pain and courage, warmth and compassion. This is bbc news. The latest headlines the governor of texas says the us state has not yet seen the worst of the flooding triggered by Tropical Storm harvey. President trump has said talking is not the answer to the north korea missile crisis. A new military force is taking up Counter Terrorism duties across five west african countries. But in a region that already has close to 17,000 troops from the un and france, critics say this will make for a security traffic jam. There have been suggestions that addressing the high unemployment in the region could be a more effective way of solving security issues. The bbcs africa security correspondent tomi 0ladipo has this report from northern mali. Timbuktu, a city rich in history. It suffered a violentjihadist invasion five years ago. French troops eventually pushed out the attackers but tourists have not come back to this unesco World Heritage site. And so this unesco World Heritage site. And so the lucrative jobs for the locals have become even fewer. Just outside the town a fish farm project supported by the red cross. It is aimed at providing jobs for the young men and women here, since the nearby river niger appears to be shrinking, affecting localfarming and fishing. Translation the only reason tojoin the and fishing. Translation the only reason to join the armed groups is for money. If young men can find a job, which will allow them to cover theirfamilys job, which will allow them to cover their familys needs, i job, which will allow them to cover theirfamilys needs, i think they would prefer to remain here. 300 kilometres away in the town of gao, the challenges are similar. International organisations have attempted projects to empower local people but these have not thrived because of insecurity. There really isnt much to keep the young people here. They can stay and struggle or they canjoin here. They can stay and struggle or they can join the migrant struggle to europe which passes through here. Then there is the option of getting into a life of crime such as joining armed groups. And the threats are increasing. To survey the town we have to travel with United Nations and malian police. Efforts to strengthen the town have not been fully effective. Armed groups still operate here and residents are on edge. Translation despite the effo rts edge. Translation despite the efforts of the Malian Security forces, they have to understand that the security situation in gao is becoming more and more dangerous. Translation you step away from this street at it is dark. There is no street at it is dark. There is no street lighting. Someone can shoot. They can do all they want without anyone stopping them. Some think that even without the projects to help the struggles, they fall short of what is needed. Translation they are making an effort, along with International Organisations and even the government. But that leaves massive amounts that needs doing. If the efforts are reaching hundreds of thousands, there is still a huge amount to be done. The region still lack space it infrastructure, so Speedy Development could prove to be a long lasting solution to the challenges here. Basic infrastructure. Live now to saudi arabia for some extraordinary pictures. This is described as one of the biggest religious gatherings anywhere in the world. Around two million muslims have begun the annual hajj pilgrimage in saudi arabia, retracing the route the prophet mohammad took 16 centuries ago. Many have been making their way to mount arafat, where the prophet is believed to have delivered his final sermon to followers. This year we have seen pilgrims from iran, a shia country, return to matter. Mecca. All this of course at the time when the gulf is mired ina at the time when the gulf is mired in a political crisis. Thousands of faithful who would make the journey from neighbouring qatar has stayed away. Also some unhappiness from people who would like to be there and cannot because the permit, which we re and cannot because the permit, which were introduced to try to stop some of the overcrowding which has proved fatal in recent years. Thursday marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Princess Diana in paris. Her sons william and harry have visited a Memorial Garden thats been created at Londons Kensington palace in memory of their mother. The white garden is dedicated to Princess Dianas life and work. 0ur royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell reports. The flowers and the tributes are back at the gates of kensington palace. A very small echo of how it was 20 years ago, but a reminder of feelings which the years have not erased. And this afternoon, william and harry came to view the tributes. They took their time, they looked, and they read. They laughed at some of the photographs showing them as small children with their mother. It was impossible not to be reminded of how it was 20 years ago when, aged 15 and 12, on their return to london, theyd come out, still numb and bewildered, to meet the people whod gathered there and to see for themselves the many thousands of bouquets which had been left. Dianas boys are both in their 30s now. Williams settled and about to begin full time royal duty. He was accompanied by catherine this afternoon to view a Memorial Garden to diana. And harry, not quite so settled yet, but not far off, one suspects. And both at this anniversary, one must assume, reassured by the enduring regard people feel for their mother. She gave us so much. We were so privileged to have her. She meant so much to so many people. She touched everybody and it shows by how many people are here today. William and harry took some of the flowers people had brought and placed them at the palace gates, replaying some of the moments from two decades ago, and acknowledging the desire that many still have to hold onto dianas memory. Today, briefly, theyve put on their public, princely faces, to view some of the tributes. Tomorrow, though, william and harry will remain in private, remembering the mother they lost in such tragic circumstances, 20 years ago. A computer hard drive containing all the unfinished works of Terry Pratchett has been crushed by a steamroller. It fulfils the wishes of the fantasy author, who died two years ago and didnt want his incomplete novels to be finished by another writer. Laura westbrook reports. This is all that remains of Terry Pratchetts unfinished works. Stea m rolled, pratchetts unfinished works. Steamrolled, just as he wanted. His long time assistant, robert milkins, tweeted he had fulfilled his obligations as light on the hard drive. It contained at least ten incomplete books. The broken machine will go on display as part of a new exhibition about the authors life and work. He created the hugely popular and internationally successful disc world series, a vast satire of modern life and the human race satire of modern life and the human race discworld. The author revealed he had alzheimers disease in 2007. It worries me that i might bea in 2007. It worries me that i might be a poster boy for dementia, because i make it look good. Be a poster boy for dementia, because i make it look goodm didnt affect his writing to begin with. But he struggled to contain his anger at the disease in interviews and became a campaigner for more spending on alzheimers. People dont want to go near it, or, at least, many dont want to go near it, dont want to think about it. I do think about it. It was a bright, sunny day. His final novel, the shepherds crown, was published a few months after he died, and it will be his last. Terry pratchett did not want his unpublished works completed by anyone else. Ive got one half done and thats been there for quite a long time, which is not useful for for quite a long time, which is not usefulfor me, for quite a long time, which is not useful for me, and for quite a long time, which is not usefulfor me, and it has got some wonderful characters and other things. And other things like that. And i was working in for a lot of time and i thought, this has really got everything, except a plot unfortunately for his fans, time ran out. His unpublished works may be lost for ever but his legacy lives on. At least he left us some other wonderful characters. Economic inequality seems to have been debated in almost every venue for many years, though maybe not this one from tim allman. New yorks Guggenheim Museum has been the venue for some provocative work down the years but there has perhaps never been an exhibit quite like this. Gold, always believe in your soul its called america, a fully functioning toilet made out of 18 carat gold. I think its just turned out to be kind of fun for the public and for the museum, for people to kind of be here and discover that its, oh, look, its a typical bathroom, and then you have this solid gold toilet. So i think its been more fun than anything. Created by an italian artist, its described as an extravagant luxury seemingly intended for the 1 , available to the public. More than 100,000 visitors have queued up to spend a few moments, and maybe the odd penny. I think hes very provocative and its. Especially with houston happening right now, the, like, concept of what waste is and what we put our resources into feeds into this experience. There are many artworks ive seen over the course of time that i wouldve liked to have used in a similar manner. Its definitely the first golden toilet i have seen. And if you want to see this Golden Throne for yourself, dont hang around. America will be removed next month. The occupied sign will be put up permanently. Got to go, as it were, but only because were out of time thanks for watching. Hello there. Were moving into the last day of august, but in some places, yesterday, it felt like september had already arrived. Because there was a lot of cloud, there was some rain around, and temperatures across some south eastern areas only got up to 13 degrees. But further north and west, the day brought brighter skies and some spells of sunshine. Just a few showers. And thats the sort of weather that we will take with us into thursday. The cloud has now been chased away to the east. Weve got some clear skies following on behind, with just a few shower clouds. And during the day ahead, we are going to see a mixture of sunshine and showers. The showers quite heavy from the word go in western areas. And then extending eastwards as the day goes on. But with some bright or sunny spells between those downpours. So, lets take a closer look at 4pm in the afternoon. Across the south west of england, well see quite a few showers in places, with some sunny spells in between. Temperatures around 16 17 degrees. Some of those showers stretching across the southeast and into east anglia. But a big improvement in temperatures here. 20 degrees in london, 19 for ipswich. Some heavy showers across the midlands, up into northern england. Some of the showers could contain the odd rumble of thunder. And for scotland, it is that mixture of sunny spells and heavy showers. 16 degrees in aberdeen for the middle of the afternoon, 17 in glasgow. For northern ireland, some decent sunny breaks between the showers. I think some places will avoid the showers and stay dry all day long. And a similar story for wales. Sunny spells, the odd downpour coming along here and there. Some of those showers could be heavy, but they will then tend to fade away as we go through the evening. Through the night, into the early hours of friday, well see clear spells, the odd fog around, and a chilly night. Towns and cities 9 12, but in rural areas, one, two, three, four degrees. Quite a cool start if youre out and about early on friday morning. But the prospects of friday are fairly promising. A lot of dry weather and some spells of sunshine. Still the chance for a shower, particularly for central and eastern areas, but many will stay dry. 17 in glasgow, 21 in london, about where wed expect to be. And then we get on into the weekend, and it is not bad news, especially if you like dry weather. Because this area of High Pressure will give us a fine start to the weekend. Weather systems, youll notice, out west, they wont make much progress into eastern parts, so, even on sunday, eastern areas of scotland, eastern england, should stay dry, with some spells of sunshine. Further west, a fine saturday, a chilly saturday night, but then cloud and rain with some strong winds will work in from the west on sunday. This is bbc news. The headlines.
