Two hundred people continue to search dense forest in malaysia near the resort where a 15 year old schoolgirl from london went missing more than a week ago. And coming up in half an hour here on bbc news protecting our planet explores Sustainable Solutions to Climate Change and how best to care for our enviornment. Change and how best to care for our environnment. The government has announced a package of new measures in a crackdown on law and order. The Prime Minister has promised to create an extra 10,000 prison places after an increase in Violent Crime. This will involve the building of new prisons and the expansion of existing ones at a cost of around two and a half billion pounds. Stop and search powers will also be extended to all Police Forces in England Wales which will allow police to stop someone in an area where they think a crime may be committed. Borisjohnson also called for tougher sentencing and an end to the Early Release of prisoners convicted of violent or sexual offences. Labour said austerity measures taken by conservative governments had left the entire criminal Justice System broken. Jon donnison has more. Borisjohnson said the time for action on crime has come. He said too many serious violent or sexual offenders are coming out of britain long book meant prison long long book meant prison long before they should and tougher sentences are needed. 10,000 new prison places will be created through the building of new prisons but also the expansion of existing ones. The cause, up to £2. 5 billion. The cost, up to £2. 5 billion. Amid fears over rising knife crime, the government has also confirmed that a pilot scheme allowing police to stop and search someone where they believe a crime may, rather than well, be committed will be extended to forces across england and wales. Stop and search works. We hear again and again from police. I was in london yesterday and essex today that our police need to be empowered and as we are recruiting 20,000 more Police Officers, we need them to be out making sure that those that want to do harm are prevented from doing harm. The home secretary played down concerns that stop and search lead to certain groups, notably young, black men, being unfairly targeted. This focus on law and order after recent announcements on the nhs and immigration will add to speculation that downing street is preparing for a general election, soon after parliament returns from its summer break next month. Ive been speaking tojohn apter, the chair of the police federationabout what he thought about extending stop and search powers to every force in england and wales. I will commit, no great surprise, but what this is doing is there where seven forces that have been piloting a softening of the rules around what is called section 60 and this is where there is a fear of significant Violent Crime with in a certain community, within an area, then the police can target that area using stop and search powers and its right that this reduces the assessment for Police Officers and allows us to use the stop and search allows us to use the stop and search a more, i believe, effective way. This is rolling that out across of england and wales to every force which is long overdue. It must also be said, we used to have this ability a number of years ago but the then home secretary theresa may reduce it, took it away so im glad this Prime Minister and this home secretary seem to have a little bit more faith in our Police Officers. In terms of what that means, as you said, this is only when an area has been designated to meet these additional powers. It is not a routine return for the stop and search as it was 25 30 years ago. There are certain strict measures in place where Police Officers, Senior Officers will have to justify their use of stop and search. Compared to many years ago, Police Officers now have body worn cameras, the scrutiny applied i would argue as probably we are the most scrutinised and transparent Police Service in the world. The stop and search is just one tool, it has to go hand in hand with Effective Community policing and that is about working with local community groups, schools and colleges, and that has been eroded over the years because of the lack offunding. Over the years because of the lack of funding. Ijust over the years because of the lack of funding. I just want to pick you up of funding. I just want to pick you up on that because im sure, as you said, you are welcome these additional announcements but it is a bit frustrating for you and your collea g u es bit frustrating for you and your colleagues that for the last nine yea rs, colleagues that for the last nine years, youve been told by the conservative government, originally the coalition, and then David Cameron entries are may that there is no direct link between number of Police Officers and reduction in crime. You can manage without. With 20,000 fewer officers, there was no real problem, now the same people. A different Prime Minister but he did support the foreign secretary all the way through, as did priti patel. They are saying thatis did priti patel. They are saying that is not the case, they will wave a magic wand and give you 20,000 officers back you will be less experienced than the ones you lost. I made it clear when she was Prime Minister and when she left that the then Prime Minister had nothing but co nte m pt then Prime Minister had nothing but contempt for policing and she set the tone of government. I hold her firmly responsible for the damage that has been done. I can either pal blew my pull up the shutters and say, i will not believe anything you say, i will not believe anything you say, or i can raise the concerns which i will be. And i want to see action as well as warm words. I will give them a chance to move forward from the damage that has been done from the damage that has been done from the damage that has been done from the previous Prime Minister and hopefully we can see some proper law and order in this country and more importantly for me the victims of the product that my crime getting the product that my crime getting the support they need and those dedicated Police Officers who do a difficultjob getting dedicated Police Officers who do a difficult job getting support from the government as well. Important for me to see the victims of crime getting the support they need. With me is our political correspondent, mark lobel. The government are keen to reclaim certain credentials on law and order. Indeed, such a raft of announcements im struggling to keep up. We started with 20,000 new Police Officers and today we are hearing an extension of the stop and search powers and of course this crucial announcement of more prison places, 10,000 prison places. I think this debate is going to go towards the direction of how things are going to be paid for and the details. If you look at the stop and search trial that took place in seven Police Authorities across the country, i think there will be some examination as to how that trial went and why such a large extension is suddenly being announced so soon after. Is the evidence to justify this that it did reduce Violent Crime . With the other two announcements, how they will be funded. There is a deputy to the mayor of london with borisjohnson, a close ally with him would have been working very closely on this key pledge of borisjohnson. It has been enforced in carrying out the 20,000 Police Officers. He was asked this morning on the sophie rage show about the funding of this. Lets listen to the clip and see how he did. On the sophie ridge show. There was a plan already afoot for £1 billion of extra funding last year, to put in another three and a half thousand across the country. We are now putting in place to launch in septemberthe are now putting in place to launch in september the next wave to get the 20,000 on top of that over the next 36 months and between then and now, we have to have a conversation about the deployment of those Police Officers, critically what they will be doing because what the public wa nt be doing because what the public want to see is a restored sense of governance of the public realm alongside some of the enhancements of stop and search being put in place to deal with the rising knife crime that we really want to address assertively. We do need to address this general sense among the public that they want more reassurance among the officers. That is the signature pledge of borisjohnson, £1. 1 billion. That is in a few weeks time. Recruitment starts. They need to know which areas. The first round of police, where they will be launching in. Then you have this £2. 5 million for new prison places. A large amount of money, where will it come from . There will bea where will it come from . There will be a raft of questions. 0verall, rachel maskell, who is onjeremy corbyns front bench and is the minister for corbyns front bench and is the ministerfor transport, she corbyns front bench and is the minister for transport, she said there is basically a spending spree, an election spending spree and said they have cancelled the Spending Review and were going to outline what each department has so they can all plan. They are focusing on this one, they will get it out in september and they said they are rushing thisjust for september and they said they are rushing this just for an election. It looks like that magic money tree has been found, it is going somewhere. At least sprouting. Lets talk about another politician who has made the headlines today. Gordon brown. The former Prime Minister, we do not hearfrom him that brown. The former Prime Minister, we do not hear from him that often but he is on one of his favourite themes, the future of the union. One of his pet passions, he is criticising what he thinks has been overlooked which is keeping the union together. The problem for him as he thinks people would prioritise no deal over keeping scotland within the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland within the United Kingdom and the problems for him is that polling is showing that if brexit was taking place in terms of no deal, it would boost scottish nationalism. He blames borisjohnson for his nationalist policies, he blamesjohn for his nationalist policies, he blames John Mcdonnell interestingly, the shadow chancellor in the labour party for also agreeing or suggesting that he would be happy with an independence poll held in scotland. A lot of labour people would not be at least for the electoral risk that they might never again be able to form a majority government. These Scottish Labour Party was incandescent with rage. They were furious with him saying that. The Prime Minister would defend himself and say that one of the first things he did was visit scotland, wales, Northern Ireland to show his commitment and he is the minister of the union. White marquee is, so that must tell us something. Thank you very much. The fbi is to investigate the death of the multi millionaire businessman and convicted sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, who was found dead in his cell, in a new yorkjail.

Originally a maths teacher in manhattan, the financier mysteriously accumulated a fortune that gained him entrance into high society. He was Close Friends with prince andrew, seen here as recently as 2010 in new york. His social status and opulent parties masked lurid crimes at his palatial estates. There were allegations he sexually assaulted dozens of young girls, recruited to give other wealthy men massages. One of his accusers said thatJeffrey Epstein instructed her to have sex with at least half a dozen prominent men, beginning when she was 16 years old. She was photographed with prince andrew, and in 2016 she alleged she was forced to have a sexual relationship with him. Buckingham palace says those allegations are categorically untrue. In 2008, Jeffrey Epstein pleaded guilty to lesser charges, but his widely criticised plea deal is now under investigation by the department ofjustice. After 13 months in prison, he continued to live a life of luxury, but he was arrested last month and charged with sex trafficking. Epstein was found unresponsive on the floor of his cell here in manhattan. People are now questioning why greater precautions werent put in place after he was found semiconscious with neck injuries just two weeks ago. His victims say they would prefer he had lived to face justice. A 29 year old man remains in custody after being detained on suspicion of the attempted murder of a Police Officer in birmingham.

Research area has come down from six, six commenters to four Square Kilometres today. This is day eight of the search and rescue effort. They have been looking with police and army workers in this area for any trace of nora, looking along river beds, using a loud hailer recording of noras mothers voice saying, nora, darling, i love you and im here, they have been playing that repeatedly trying to coax her out of the jungle if she has ended in the vicinity. Her family say there was a chance she was abducted given that the window to the villa was left open on the lower ground floor of the night that she disappeared. The police are not ruling out that she was abducted and they will continue to pursue this case at the moment as a missing persons case. So, basically there has been no sighting for either confirmed or unconfirmed since she disappeared . No sighting whatsoever. No leads. They have talked to the taxi driver who took her to the resort last saturday, nothing from that. Theyve been questioning the staff at the hotel. Weve also heard that in the area around, there are some resort owners who have not been questioned yet but there will be a press conference here in the next hour or so conference here in the next hour or so with police and we will be putting questions to them to see if there is any new leads are new evidence today that might point us in the direction of where nora right of disappeared to.

China has warned britain to stop meddling in hong kong, after the foreign secretary called for an independent investigation into recent disorder in the territory, in a telephone call with the citys chief executive. Dominic raab told carrie lam that he condemned violence on all sides. There have been further clashes between protesters and police in hong kong on the 10th weekend of demonstrations. Police have used tear gas on crowds at two sites in the city while thousands of people have been staging a peaceful sit in at hong kongs international airport. 0ur china correspodent Stephen Mcdonell gave us the latest update. Amongst these pro democracy demonstrators, many would say it has taken britain too long to get involved in this, they would say that years ago the British Government should have been trying to enforce the conditions under which hong kong was handed back to mainland china. 0n the pro beijing side, they think, how dare britain get involved . Side, they think, how dare britain get involved . Britain side, they think, how dare britain get involved . Britain has to get used to the fact that this is not pa rt used to the fact that this is not part of. It is not the British Empire any more. Depends what you come from as to your view about it. However, it is especially sensitive because the pro democracy demonstrators have been calling for this enquiry, independent enquiry. Carrie lam has dismissed it saying the police are cutting up their own investigation but at the core of it, is this allegation that some Police Officers at least have been colluding with triad gangs and i think there is a fear amongst many any government that they would find that because the evidence does seem to be all the internet. Now, the extent of this collusion, how many officers it is is a very different question and that is why by having britain emphasise this, beijing might feel especially tetchy about it if might feel especially tetchy about itifi might feel especially tetchy about it if i can put it to you that way. When you protest the sort carrie lam flanked by Business People saying on friday that this was doing real damage to hong kongs economy and the successive weekends of protest. They also hear china putting pressure on an airline to dis applying any Staff Members who may have been involved in the protest. Do protesters see there are disappointing signs are an indication that their protests are having an impact . It does show the extent to which there is widespread support in hong kong for this Pro Democracy Movement. You would have thought if you want to go if someone it said that flight crews working for an airline would be among the bigger supporters of the Pro Democracy Movement apart from students . That would have surprised many people and yet again here we have this very sensitive approach from beijing calling on the airline to supply a list of those flight crews, saying they will vet the staff and any cafe flight which has a flight crew member who has supported the Pro Democracy Movement. Clashes have broken out injerusalem between Israeli Police and palestinian worshippers at the al aqsa mosque compound.

The Saudi Led Coalition fighting Houthi Rebels in yemen has called for an immediate ceasefire. It follows separatists seizing control of key military positions and the president ial palace in aden the seat of the internationally recognised government of yemen. John mcmanus reports. Since 2015, fighting between Houthi Rebels backed by iran and yemeni loyalists supported by a Saudi ArabianLed Coalition has laid waste to much of yemen. Now the regions fragile alliances have fractured once more. Several days of fighting between southern separatists, who want to split from the north of yemen, and forces loyal to the internationally recognised government, have culminated in the Southern Forces taking control of the president ial palace and securing several military barracks in aden as night fell. Translation today we achieved a big victory in aden, and ten battalions were defeated. And at night we took control of the president ial palace. Both sides are fighting the Houthi Rebels, but while the loyalist forces are supported by saudi arabia, those soldiers who want the south to be independent are backed by the united arab emirates. Theres been growing tension between the supposed allies. Southern forces have accused the loyalists of allowing islamists to penetrate their ranks. In return, forces loyal to the internationally backed government are unhappy with the push for southern independence, led by this man, aidarus al zoubaidi. Fighting flared on wednesday at the funeral of several southern soldiers whod been killed in a drone and missile attack, claimed by the houthis, but there were accusations that islamists loyal to the Government Forces were responsible, as the four year war rumbles on, tens of thousands have been killed, and more than three million forced from their homes.
