It has damaged or destroyed 100,000 homes, and left more than a Million People displaced. And yet President Trump spent the eve of this visit talking about scrapping a policy that protects young, undocumented immigrants. The devastation wreaked by Hurricane Harvey is plain to see here. Texas is barely beginning to count the cost, and many people here are astonished that the president would choose this moment even to mention immigration. And we have a lot of distilled waterfor the babies. Jessicas home was flooded, and now she is helping others. Brought here illegally at the age of four, she is among 200,000 texans who face being fired and deported if President Trump keeps his campaign promise. Its a complete slap in the face. I mean, you see people who are struggling, your initial reaction is to help them, and his is the complete opposite. He knows what he is doing. He knows what the effects of this would be in the community. The white house says the president will announce his decision on tuesday. Even as he lends a helping hand, unity may be out of reach. But, amid the suffering here, there is beauty. This video has inspired millions. For the victims and the survivors of Hurricane Harvey, it is both lament and anthem. The United Nations says as many as 41 Million People have been affected, by heavy monsoon rains across south asia, leading to the worst flooding in the region for several years. Across india, bangladesh and nepal, at least 1,400 people have lost their lives. Justin rowlatt reports from one of the worst affected regions, bihar state, in North East India where hundreds have died. Where we are going can only be reached by boat. The only dry place for miles around is on top of this great embankment. But the embankment that now protects the villagers is the reason the floods had such a catastrophic impact. The torrential rains transformed the normally placid river. The pressure grew and grew. So what happened is that embankment holding back the river breached, and the waterjust came crashing in here, sweeping away half the village, devastating their homes, devastating their lives. Translation it felt like we were hit by an ocean of water. Ijust ran for my life, taking my children with me. I didnt have time to save anything. Everything i own has gone. This man showed me what the floods had done to his home. Oh, look at this. So he said the whole place was flooded with water. Water was above his head, and came washing through here. And you can see i mean, it has just left absolutely terrible mud behind. So he says for three days they had no food at all, and then helicopters came in, bringing food, bringing some relief for them. And he said there wasnt enough room to stay out on the embankment, so he has had to bring his family down here, including his three year old child, to live amongst this filth. It is eid today, one of the great festivals of islam. Like most of the village, this family is muslim. For the First Time Since the catastrophe, they are having meat, but there is little appetite for celebration. Tens of thousands of communities across south asia have similar stories of horror and destruction to tell. The only good news here is that everyone in this village survived. Justin rowlatt, bbc news, bihar. Lets take a look at some of the other stories making the news.

The metropolitan police has confirmed its paid compensation to the former chief of the defence staff, field marshal lord bramall, and the family of the late home secretary, lord brittan. Both men had been falsely accused of child sexual abuse by an informant, whos now being investigated for allegedly perverting the course ofjustice. Heres tom symonds. They were claims which seemed to go right to the heart of power in britain child sexual abuse and murder. After a iii month investigation, which went nowhere, a review concluded the claims were false. But not before police had raided the homes of lord bramall, one of britains most senior former military figures, lord brittan, the former home secretary, who had died, and Harvey Proctor, once a conservative mp. Names among those offered by this man, known as nick, who still cant be named for legal reasons. A retired judge found police had failed to properly assess his credibility, applications for search warrants contained inaccuracies, and the investigation went on too long. It is thought lord bramall and lord brittans family have received around £100,000 each in compensation from the police. Ive never complained about being investigated. It was only the heavy handed and the very unintelligent way that they went about it. I mean, i think they could have said. Well, look, if theyd taken any trouble to put their effort onto questioning the so called victim, i think they would have found that it was very unlikely. But Harvey Proctor has not settled. He lost hisjob and his home when he became embroiled in operation midland. Negotiations between mr proctors lawyers and the police continue. The man who made the original allegations is himself being investigated, to see whether he deliberately misled the police. Tom symonds, bbc news, scotland yard. Twelve british people have been arrested on suspicion of being involved in a major drug dealing ring. They were held by police in a series of raids in barcelona and on the Spanish Island of majorca. Three kilograms of cocaine were seized, along with £100,000 in cash as well as ecstasy and cannabis. Police in brazil have arrested a man suspected of having shot british tourist eloise dixon in the state of rio. She was travelling with her family when they entered a favela in angra dos rios last month. Eriveltonjose dos santos was arrested along with four other people. A man has been arrested and released on bail pending further inquiries, after a bolt from a crossbow, was fired onto the pitch at the oval Cricket Ground during a match.

Utility companies could be charged by the hour for digging up busy roads in england. The government believes it might encourage contractors to speed up repairs and reduce trafficjams. The local Government Association has welcomed the proposals. Simonjones reports. Misery for motorists in leeds today, costing time and money. Now the government is considering making Companies Pay to do work in peaktime. I think thats a good idea, and it may cut the roadworks down and stagger them a bit more. Youll often come past and therell be nobody here a lot of the time, and you think, why did you dig it up if you are now working over there, you know, how can you do it . So, yeah, that could make a big, big difference. 2. 5 million roadworks are carried out each year. It is estimated to cost the economy £4 billion, as people are late for work or deliveries dont arrive on time. Companies could be charged up to £2500 per site, to work on roads during the day. The government says trials have already seen severe congestion fall by a half. Weve been trialling it in london and kent and its proved extremely successful, and we estimate that theres been about 600 less incursions into the highway surface than would have happened otherwise. Motoring groups want some reassurances. Its absolutely right that roadworks should be more efficient and they should be done in as short time as possible. One thing that we would not like to see compromised, though, is quality. So its important that while we improve the efficiency of roadworks quality is not compromised, because the last thing that motorists would want to see is a stretch of road being rushed and botched. The group that represents Utility Companies points out that they are carrying out big Infrastructure Projects designed to boost the economy, and if they have to pay to close roads, it offers less value for money for their customers. They also say that around half of all roadworks arent carried out by Utility Companies, but by highways authorities, designed to improve the layout and surface of the roads. Firms are being told they could avoid the charges by carrying out work at night, or co ordinating plans with other companies. The scheme could be introduced in 2019. Simon jones, bbc news. As weve been hearing north korea says it has developed an advanced Hydrogen Bomb capable of being mounted on an intercontinental ballistic missile. State media said the countrys leader, kim jong un, had inspected such a device. However, no photographs of the weapon have been published. Theres been no independent verification. 0ur correspondent yogita limaye, is in seoul. What more details doing have from this announcement . We have photographs now that have been photographed of kim jong un looking ata photographed of kim jong un looking at a silver coloured, what north korea is calling, and advanced Hydrogen Bomb. This weapon they say is capable of sitting onto an intercontinental long range ballistic missile. This is an objective they set for themselves. We know they tested these long range rocket in july. We know they tested these long range rocket injuly. There were two we know they tested these long range rocket in july. There were two tests carried out and at that time, north korea had said that they were trying to produce a miniaturised missile. Of course, we dont have any independent verification of this claim but if north korea is saying they can now weaponised these long range missiles, it will be seen asa long range missiles, it will be seen as a big threat by america because those intercontinental missiles tested injuly, many experts believe, they put a large part of the us mainland within range. Believe, they put a large part of the us mainland within rangem terms of announcements from north korea, how sceptical should we be until we get verification . Well, we know the country has a ready conducted five nuclear tests. As far as the missile tests they have conducted, experts believe they have the capability of hitting the us mainland. We are still waiting to hear what analysts as well as the us military and south Korean Military have to say at about the north korean leaders claim. They say they have developed an advanced Hydrogen Bomb and while experts say this is a nuclear weapon, it is something that has a little less power than what north korea has claimed. We are going to have to wait to see what experts as well as military is both here and in south here in south korea and in the us, have to say. If they were to produce an intercontinental ballistic missile, it would be crossing a line, says the south korean leader.

Thousands of members of Myanmars Rohingya muslim minority, are continuing to flee across the border into neighbouring bangladesh. Theyre escaping a military crackdown, after rohingya militants attacked police positions a week ago. Its now thought nearly 60,000 have fled, and human Rights Groups are accusing the myanmar army of atrocities. They claim more than 700 homes have been burned down in a single rohingya village in Rakhine State. Ronan lee is a researcher at Deakin University in melbourne where he specialises in rohingya history and identity. Hejoins me live now. In the long history of tension and hostilities, where does this latest flareup fit in in terms of size . Well, this is a massive flareup in terms of scale and brutality. There are now reports of around 60,000 people displaced from their homes. Remember, this comes on top of the 90,000 were displaced last october and the 100,000 rohingya already living in camps. This is a massive population displacement. It should be deeply troubling to the international community. The problem with this is there have been claim and counter claims from both sides and counter claims from both sides and it is difficult to get journalists in there to independently verify what is happening. Where do you see it responsibility for all . Responsibility lies with the authorities of myanmar and the military. They are in control of Rakhine State and they are the people creating the displacement and causing big problems for rohingya civilians. Some responsibility must obviously fall with the rohingya militants who were the instigators of this latest military crackdown. Myanmars military has treated the rohingya as stateless people, as Illegal Migrants for decades. They have been looking for an excuse to have been looking for an excuse to have this sort of crackdown. Was given to them and then rohingya militants decided within hours of the possibility of a political solution, coffee and an presented findings of a year Long Commission just last week, within hours of announcing the recommendations they launched a series of co ordinated attacks across Rakhine State. Was going to ask, with the world looking at these pictures, what chance do you think of the government in imr taking a step back from military action . It is difficult now for the government in myanmar. They are an independent operation and they will do what they have done every other time they have engaged with ethnic minorities within the country, they will run this operation until they decide it is time to stop. They will not stop just because the civilian leaders of the country asks them to. This means this could continue for quite sometime. Thank you very much for joining quite sometime.

You are looking at live pictures now from kazakhstan. You can see theyre the casual, with its parachute, slowly coming down. When they do, those cosmonauts and astronauts will get out and we expect that to happen in the next few minutes, i believe. These are live pictures coming from both extant and the journey to earth from the International Space station only takes around 3. 5 hours, remarkably. Slowly the speed drops as the soyuz comes down and the landing is made comfortable in a number of ways, the first being that rather big parachute that helps slow the casual down. There are four parachutes and they are deployed 15 minutes before landing. The main parachute slows the soyuz to 8 rate of 2a feet per second but that is still too fast for a comfortable landing. So one second before touchdown, two sets of three small engines on the bottom of the vehicle fire up and that really slows the casual down. And there is the engines. Look at the slugs coming off there and the parachutes coming down. That is touchdown for the casual in kazakhstan. That may have looked like a hard landing but it is made comfortable by the fact that the astronauts and cosmonauts have their own specially fitted cushioned seats that they are seated in. They are fitted for their exact body shapes and that really helps with the landing. There we are. Touchdown for the soyuz casual in kazakhstan. Some social Housing Residents in west london are to be the first in england to have free solar panels fitted on their homes under a new government scheme. One thousand jobs are being created by the project. The aim is to reach 800,00 homes over the next five years. Heres our business correspondent, vishala sri pathma. West london and residents here are hoping that it will help ring down their energy bills. These houses are some of the first beneficiaries of the new scheme that will see 100,000 social Housing Properties have solar panels installed in the next 18 months. Sola has become one of the cheaper sources of energy and that is why the government thinks the panels like these are the solution to our Rising Energy bills. Sola cause city is the company installing the panels. They say that they found that their tenants save an average of £2110 a year on their energy bills. These residents are hoping they are right. |j energy bills. These residents are hoping they are right. I think it is a good idea. , especially if you save on bills in the long run, in the long term we will save, i think. I think it is a very good idea. Edinburgh council say that they had planned on covering more homes but cuts to tariffs and subsidies have meant that they simply cannot afford to do so. But the government insists that the falling price of solar means that in the industry does not require help. What we want to see, and this is a good scheme, showing you do not need to subsidise solar power as much and still have a big highly effective. We are talking here of the potential of 800,000 homes across the country in the next five years with the combination of a fantastic uk and investment from abroad and cheaper bills, cheaper, greener energy. That is our objective. The expansion of solar is now largely reliant on the Business Case rate with councils and households increasingly looking to private investors for encouragement, rather than the government. The first pedestrians have walked across scotlands queensferry crossing, the new road bridge over the firth of forth. By the end of the weekend, 50,000 people are expected to have made the journey taking in magnificent views. But crossing by foot is just for two days, with the road officially opening to traffic next week. Catrina renton reports. This is something we wont see again. For two days only, 50,000 people are getting the chance to walk over the new queensferry crossing, chosen in a ballot from almost a quarter of a Million People who put their names forward for this moment in history. This bridge could be operational for 120 years. This is something isaac can tell all his family about. I know, weve taken lots of photos, so hell have the memories and the photos if he doesnt remember it himself. It sits alongside the forth bridge, the railway crossing, built in the 19th century. And the forth road bridge, opened in 1964. A new crossing for the 21st century. Its a chance to sample this feat of engineering, 1. 7 miles long and the tallest in the uk. These are the people who have been lucky enough to be chosen to walk over the bridge, they are taking every opportunity to relish this. This road will soon become a motorway so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for these people to experience the bridge up close and personal. Nine year old woodys family watched the bridge being built as they drove over the old one. I thought its done. I was so excited, my heart was pounding. The first ministerjoined walkers, taking pictures and soaking up the atmosphere. Theres such a feeling of pride on the part of everyone i have spoken to, a real sense this is a scottish icon and it will become one of the most recognisable bridges anywhere in the world. Todays memories will be passed down the generations. Catriona renton, bbc news, on the queensferry crossing. That is just about it. You can get in touch with me and the rest of the tea m in touch with me and the rest of the team on twitter stay with us, coming up team on twitter stay with us, coming up next we have the weather. These are the pictures to prove it. Broken cloud, lot of sunshine, pleasantly warm in the sunshine. There were just one or two sharp showers in parts of east anglia, the vast majority were dry. But if this was saturdays weather, this is sundays weather, quite a change. Cloudier for many, wetter for some. And as we go on through into the first part of sunday you can see where the rain has arrived. Across Northern Ireland into western scotland, wales and much of south west england, and its notjust wet, it is windy too with some gales through the irish sea. Some of the rain during the first part of the day will be on the heavy side as well, so really will be a grey and wet start to the day, whereas further east in complete contrast there will be some sunny spells around although turning increasingly hazy quite quickly as we go through the morning, and the breeze will start to pick up as well. So an east west split to begin the day. Some of the heaviest rain will have moved through Northern Ireland at this stage although still in eastern counties, a bit more patchy in the west, and that rain edging into south west scotland where it will be dry with some early sunshine in the east. Now, this will try to move east through the day, but a very slow process, eventually it will encroach more to north west england, the midlands and south east england during the afternoon, but the further east you are, although the cloud increases, the breeze picks up, you could well stay dry until the evening and maybe a few hours beyond. Could see 20 celsius with anywhere seeing the sunshine lasting longest, quite cool with the cloud and rain, only around 15 in places. Could be worse. Could be better but could be worse for the first stage of the tour of britain in edinburgh as that gets under way. Looking at things on sunday evening, again some of the increasingly light and patchy rain feeds further east, some spots will stay dry during the day with a lot of low cloud, coastal and hill fog down to the south and west of the uk. The weather system for monday has ground to a halt. It has left a lot of cloud across us on monday, really quite misty and murky to begin with with extensive coastal and hillfog, damp and drizzly in places. Well see another weather system bringing more rain to parts of scotland and Northern Ireland during the day but brightening up in england and wales, quite muggy and given any sunny spells, it will feel quite warm. Once we clear the rain away south eastwards on tuesday, on tuesday and wednesday were back into a brighter, showery weather picture where its quite wet and windy for the end of the week.
