Good afternoon. Hes running for the white house again next year, but now donald trump is facing a fourth set of criminal charges. This time hes accused of trying to overturn his defeat in the last president ial election in the state of georgia. The 13 counts against him include violating georgias law On Racketeering. He is also charged with conspiracy to commit forgery and with making false statements. He says the charges are politically motivated. From washington, sean dilley. Hello, maam. Thank you. This was the moment Fulton County judge Robert Mcburney approved the grand jury� s decision to indict donald trump and 18 alleged conspirators On Racketeering charges the same laws used to persue mob bosses. Prosecutors say their investigation was in part prompted by this leaked call between the then president and georgias top election official, brad raffensperger. Among Donald Trumps co defendants, his former white house Chief Of Staff mark meadows and his former attorneys Rudy Giuliani and john eastman. Every individual charge in the indictment is charged with one count of violating georgias Racketeer Influenced and corrupt oganisations act through participation in a criminal enterprise in Fulton County, georgia, and elsewhere to accomplish the illegal goal of allowing donald] trump to thieve the president ial term of Office Beginning onjanuary 20th � 21. Speaking ahead of the indictments, the Trump Campaign said the timing of this latest coordinated strike by a biased prosecutor in an overwhelmingly democratic jurisdiction not only betrays the trust of the American People but also exposes true motivation driving their fabricated accusations. This is the fourth time the former president has been indicted. He is due to go on trial in new york next march charged over claims he used his business to hide hush money payments to a porn star. Two months later in may he will stand trial in Florida On Espionage and obstruction charges over claims he held onto classified papers after leaving office. Donald trump has already been charged by federal prosecutors in Washington Dc over allegations he tried to cheat the 2020 election. A trial date has not been set. He denies all charges. Every time they file an indictment, we go way up in the polls. We need one more indictment to close out this election, one more indictment and this election is closed out. Nobody has even a chance. Applause. That was donald trump speaking at a Campaign Rally in alabama. Now he faces 91 counts in four separate criminal cases. All the accused have been given until noon on friday to hand themselves in voluntarily. Sean dilley, bbc news, in washington. Our correspondent wyre davies joins us from washington. Yet more criminal charges against mrtrump whats the political significance of this latest indictment . Well, in the immediate term, short term, he hasjust over a week well, in the immediate term, short term, he has just over a week to what is called surrender to be formally charged in georgia. Then the prosecutor has made it clear that she would like to see a trial within about six months. The significance of that of course is it would be right in the middle of the next president ial Election Campaign donald trump is the leading republican contender as it stands, to did again as president. He says these charges are politically motivated. The difference between these charges and those that have been brought at a federal or National Level is that work trump to be re elected he could theoretically pardon himself on those federal charges, were he to be found guilty. These latest allegations refer to what has happened in the state of georgia. It wouldnt be possible for donald trump, if he were to be elected president again, to absolve himself of those charges were he to be convicted. So in some ways these are more serious charges, more difficult for donald trump to get out of even if he is elected president again of the United States. ~ ,. , president again of the United States. , ~ ,. ,.

According to new figures from the office for national statistics, regular pay grew by 7. 8 betweeen april and june thats the highest annual growth rate since current records began but its risen by slightly less than the rate at which prices are increasing. Our economics correspondent, andy verity, reports. In skegness this holiday park has just reopened after a big expansion and refurbishment. It has had to compete with 200 temporary and full time staff away from other employers, bumping up the amount it is paying them by well over 10 was yellow to support the cost of living crisis we have had to adapt our Wage Offering and that involved a 5 pay increase for all the team across haven, alongside the National Living wage we felt that is really supported the team that most need it at this time of crisis. The average pay rise was 7. 8 in the year to june, higherthan it pay rise was 7. 8 in the year to june, higher than it has been in more than 20 years and still not high enough to catch up with prices. Unemployment rose slightly to 4. 2 but it is still low. The number of vacancies advertised has dropped by 66,000 but there are still more than a million, meaning employers have to adapt tojob seekers, not a million, meaning employers have to adapt to job seekers, not the other way around. I adapt to jobseekers, not the other way around way around. I think employers are bein way around. I think employers are being very way around. I think employers are being very flexible way around. I think employers are being very flexible which way around. I think employers are being very flexible which is way around. I think employers are being very flexible which is great. Being very flexible which is great because you want somebody reliable and sometimes by giving that little bit of flexibility you get the buy in more, dont you . And that person will be really reliable and turn up. People have children and Health Conditions so they need varied hours. A lot of employers are really good and working with those customers, which is fantastic. The economy maybe customers, which is fantastic. The economy maybe barely growing but many firms are still short of the stuff they need to meet demand from their customers. That is especially true of Skilled Staff like chefs. But it is also because many who expected to come back to work after the pandemic cant because they are ill. This chart shows how many arent working or looking for work, also known as economically inactive, because their long term sick. It keeps on hitting new records for science we have to be thinking about how we can get people back into work it has got to be thinking about what the barriers are to work for those people that have disability and other sick conditions. We have to be thinking long term. Injobs like health and social care, 214,000 have been recruited since last year, easing what was a chronic recruitment shortage. The latest data forjuly suggests employees average pay is no longer rising quite as fast as it was in the previous figures. Signs perhaps that it is slightly easier to get the staff and slightly harder to find work. Andyjoins me now in the studio. You were talking at the end of your report about the number of long term sick. What are the indications of that . It longterm sick. What are the indications of that . Longterm sick. What are the indications of that . It has serious economic implications, indications of that . It has serious economic implications, ben. Indications of that . It has serious economic implications, ben. The | economic implications, ben. The reasons being that there arent enough people to do all the work thatis enough people to do all the work that is out there. In other words, the supply of workers doesnt meet demand. The Bank Of England was expecting the supply of workers to come back up after the pandemic to meet that demand but because so many people have turned out to be long term sick, it means that maybe it wont. And if you have that mismatch between supply of workers and the man for them, that can mean that those employers who most want to employ will increase the pay and that means domestic inflationary pressure. So the long term sickness means that we as an economy are much more sensitive to inflation and it maybe one of the reasons why our inflation is higher than other countries. Inflation is higher than other countries inflation is higher than other countries. � ,. , ~ inflation is higher than other countries. � ,. ~ countries. Andy verity, thank you very much an International Hunt for three people is continuing following the murder of a 10 Year Old Girl in woking last week.

Our top story this afternoon. Donald trump has been charged with attempting to overturn his election defeat in georgia three years ago. And coming up two years after the taliban takeover, life for children in afghanistan. Coming up on bbc news, england now know theyll face spain in sundays womens World Cup Final, if they can get past australia in sydney tomorrow morning, as two Sporting Rivals go head to head. Officials on the Island Of Maui in hawaii say they still have 75 of the affected area to search for bodies. At least 99 people are now known to have died as a result of wildfires. More than a thousand people remain unaccounted for with warnings that the number of dead could rise significantly, and now there are further fears the island is about to be hit by more storms. Our correspondent Sophie Long Reports from maui. Survivors say the sound of the wind that day was like the roar of a jet plane. Exploding cars like bombs going off. They describe how the smoke made them choke and vomit as they ran for their lives with their backs burning. Oh, my gosh. Just turn in here. This woman helped a stranded grandmother and young child as she fled with her husband and children. Just going to get to the church. We have our backs to this building and were looking at each other and were like, you know, my son was like, oh, mom, is this it . And i mean, what do you tell your kids . Nearly a week later, and locals continue to load cars with supplies they say people in the Disaster Area still desperately need. There is a lack of response, it felt like, from larger organisations. And we were just looking to get as much aid as possible to where they need to go. We followed amory� s convoy along the back road into lahaina. This is what makes maui magical. Wow. And this is whats broken its heart. In lahaina some of the houses that survived have become unofficial aid hubs. Theyre doing their best to look after each other, but theyre frustrated by the lack of clear information. I got the official notice of contamination for water. Somebody at the hotel knows a guy that says, hey, its ok. Somebody else says, hey, do not dont even wash your dishes. Conflicting information constantly, you know . Some people tell us that people down the street dont even know were here. You know, so again, theresjust, like, no communication whatsoever. The children a few doors down were here in lahaina as it burned, their parents unable to get back from work. It was an excruciating 48 hours before this woman learned if her five year old son had survived. Two nights after that, i was reunited with my son. And all that time, you didnt know what had happened . No. I dont know. What happened here in lahaina was one of the most horrifying and lethal disasters to take place in the United States for many years. The Recovery Operation is still ongoing nearly a week on an indication of the extent of the devastation and the number of lives lost. It is a painstakingly difficult task and its about to get harder. More storms are on the way. Hawaiis governor says he expects the search teams to recover the remains of up to 20 bodies every day until their grim and difficult task is done. He couldnt say when that would be. Sophie long, bbc news, lahaina, maui. Its two years since the taliban seized power in afghanistan, and the United Nations says the country is at risk of widespread hunger and the collapse of its health system. Women and girls have also faced severe restrictions since the taliban came to power, with girls banned from secondary schools. Our chief International Correspondent lyse doucet has this report. All in a days work. 14 hours of labour. 13 year old ismatula. His brother, asif, a year younger. Their combined earnings, less than a pound a day at this workshop in kabul. Translation its very difficult for me. Its such heavy work, but i have no choice. I have to work to buy bread for my family. Translation all the boys are playing outside. I wish i could play too. I pray my father finds work so we can go back to school, that he can repay our debts and we wont have to work here. Its the story of so many families. The un says 84 of afghans are now borrowing moneyjust to buy food. Its tough being a kid in this country. 12 year old hadiya is waiting for her father. He works in this education centre. She dreams of becoming a doctor, and shell soon start grade six, her last year of school unless the taliban reopen high schools for girls. Translation it will destroy my hopes, my dreams, and all my efforts and my studies until grade six will become useless. The bread of life. Ismatula and asif� s life. Their father used to work as a driver with a foreign company. When the taliban took over, the company shut down. This war left him injured, too. Translation my baby has no cradle. I sold it to buy some flour. I got some food on loan from the shops, but i cant pay them now. If there is no other way, i will be forced to sell my children to survive. A desperate decision for so many parents. Survival. Thats life now. Lyse doucet, bbc news. Many parents will soon be thinking about whether they need to get their children new uniforms for the coming school year. Well, a law is now in place in england to help protect parents from Uniform Costs that are unaffordable. But a survey commissioned by the bbc found that there has been very little change in School Uniform policies. Heres our education reporter vanessa clarke. Theres the pe socks, theres the pe top, Short Sleeved And Long sleeved obviously, to allow for summer and winter. Plans to keep the cost of uniforms down was welcome news tojill long. But even after a complaint to the Department Of Education about her schools uniform policy, which resulted in some changes, the bill for her is still too high. The pe kit is £93 if you buy shorts, tracksuit bottoms, and the long and short sleeve top. There should be a maximum number of items, which is a lot simpler to comply with. Parents are having to spend money on branded clothes when in my head that money would be much better spent on educational things, music lessons, better football boots, art equipment, Educational School trips. I just think spending it on a branded Clothing Item for the schools vanity purposes is just unnecessary. So these are branded items, anything with a characteristic that is unique to a school. So the blazer with the logo, the tie or the pleated skirt, anything that cant be bought from a range of shops. The law says the number of these items on a School Uniform list now needs to be kept to a minimum. Ive got the tie, ive got the pe top and ive got the skirt as well. A free uniform is being given to every new starter at this academy in doncaster and students in other years are receiving items too. But getting rid of branded items is off the cards. Branded items can be important in some cases because in effect they can be cheaper. Theyre a leveller. Just by saying its these trousers or this blazer, it stops it being anything else, and it actually means its cheaper. Although that sometimes seems like it shouldnt be the case, it actually is. But a bbc commissioned survey of teachers shows there has been little change in School Uniform policies in the last two years. The industry, which worked with the Department For Education to form the new guidance, disagrees the law is too vague. I think its really important to give schools the latitude to choose what they have within a framework. Its because actually you need Different Things in Different School environments. For example, a rural school up in the north of cumbria will probably have a different requirement for their uniform than an Inner City School in london. And youve got to give the schools the opportunity to manage that effectively. Manufacturers and second hand Uniform Shops are preparing for a busy few weeks as the countdown to the new school term begins. Vanessa clarke, bbc news. Now a look at some other stories making the news today. Three people have been killed by Russian Missile attacks in the volyn region of North Western ukraine. Air strikes also damaged buildings in the western city of lviv, causing a number of injuries. Ukraines air Defence Forces said they had destroyed 16 out of at least 28 missiles launched overnight. The government has announced that £250 million will be spent on an extra 5,000 Nhs Hospital Beds in england this winter. Ministers say 900 of the beds should be ready by january as part of efforts to help Cut Waiting Lists one of five priorities set out by rishi sunak. Labour says the announcement is a sticking plaster. A Childrens Charity says there has been a sharp rise in cases of online grooming, and that mps must back law reform. The nspcc says there were more than 6,000 offences involving Sexual Communications with children last year.

This is how it looks yesterday in scarborough with gray, leaden skies and spots of rain forced up today, not completely blue sky and sunshine but certainly a lot brighter. Over the next few days it will get warmer as well, also starting to feel rather humid. Through the rest of this afternoon its not all plain sailing. There are some showers around, particularly heavy ones across parts of Northern England and up to southern and central parts of scotland but many spots staying largely dry. Temperatures of 21 in glasgow, maybe 25 in norwich. A bit warmer across on eastern parts. Tonight we will keep some cloud and showers across parts of Eastern Scotland and north east england. Further south, clear spells and a little bit on the cool side for some and we may also start to see fog patches developing particularly across southern counties
