The flooding may have killed up to 20,000 people based on the amount of the city thats been destroyed. He said, they desperately need teams that specialise in recovering bodies saying he feared the city risked an epidemic of infection from the large number of bodies under the rubble and in the water. The libyan red crescent described the scene, as like a � bombardment and earthquake� at the same time. When the dams collapsed a wall of water weighing one and a half Million Tonnes crashed down the wadi derna river gouging out huge parts of the city, before reaching the sea. To give you a sense of the power of that tsunnami 20 centremetres of fast moving water, is enough to knock an adult off their feet. Here you had three metres of water sweeping away everything in its path. The human cost is collosal this man has just found his son and begs Rescue Workers not to touch him. Desperate scenes repeated again and again. Some people have lost 30 a0 50 members of their extended family. Lets start by hearing from one survivor who describes what he went through. Translation we woke up at around half ast translation we woke up at around half past three translation we woke up at around half past three in translation we woke up at around half past three in the translation we woke up at around half past three in the morning half past three in the morning and we heard a large bank. Anyone who was awake in derna must have heard it large bank. The water was unbelievable and everybody could hear it coming. We went outside and the city was gone, it had been raised to the ground. To begin with there are around 15 families which were swept away by the sea and anyone who was in the valley was just swept away. None of the people who live directly on the coast are there, they are gone. May they rest in peace. We woke up to a real catastrophe. We could not find anyone we knew. May god have mercy on their souls in heaven. fix, anyone we knew. May god have mercy on their souls in heaven. On their souls in heaven. A graphic account. The Uns World Meteorological Organization has said thousands of deaths could have been avoided warnings should have been issued leading to evacuations. If there had been a normally operating Meteorological Service there would have been warnings and also the Emergency Management would have carried out the evacuation of the people and they could have avoided most of the human casualties. Of course we cannot fully avoid losses but we could have avoided some by having Proper Services in place. Lets get more from our verify team Rajini Vaidyanathan is there. Rajini, what have you been looking at . We have been looking at some of the Satellite Pictures and videos. This video shows you a coastal road and some of the aftermath of the damage in derna and as you can see, huge distraction, and a huge death toll. You can see how the coastal bridge has completely disappeared and also buildings. The force of the water just smashing into them. Just to remind people of the geography, this is the eastern side of libya, benghazi, a city many people will have heard of. Derna is where most of the damage has been reported, most of the fatalities. We can bring you a close up image of derna, these dots are the dams which were breached. The water rushed to the mediterranean causing huge damage, huge force that came with it. If we come here, this is a ground level pitcher in, and it gives people an idea of what the city of looks like and you can see some buildings, that is the dry riverbed. We will move to Satellite Imagery. 0ne is the dry riverbed. We will move to Satellite Imagery. One thing that is worth mentioning is the scale and the Population Density of derna, it officially has a population of around 125,000 people but officials we have spoken to say the actual number is closer to 200,000, when you factor in workers from other countries who have come to libya and also people from other parts of the country. You see this Satellite Image. Rememberwe country. You see this Satellite Image. Remember we showed you the residential block . We have put a red circle around that. This is the before. And this is the after. You can see Everything We Saw in that image, presumably has now been washed away by the force of those floods. Back to the Satellite Image again, rememberthe first floods. Back to the Satellite Image again, remember the first video we showed you with the bridge and the road, and that is what it was before and this here is the aftermath. We have been looking at more detailed Satellite Imagery that has come into us today and this is one here which is a much more detailed picture of one neighbourhood in derna and we will zone in on this row of cars next to what we think would have been a block of flats. This is the before. Just look at that. That is the after. Everything washed away in that area. The former mayor of told our colleagues at bbc arabic that the worst force of the water hit at around three oclock in the morning. If you go back to that picture there, presumably many people were inside the buildings and they were fast asleep when the water caused this devastation. The other thing we have been looking at is the uns Damage Assessment report. What we have done, we have put that into a map of derna and every dot here symbolises a structure that the un has identified. Most of those are buildings and some of them are also bridges. The un says more than 2200 structures were affected by the floods in. We have heard different figures for the death toll the floods in derna. Some say could be more than 20,000, and if you look at the images and the scale of the destruction, it is hard to dispute that it destruction, it is hard to dispute thatitis destruction, it is hard to dispute that it is going to be a very high death toll. That it is going to be a very high death toll death toll. Incredible pictures. Thanks for death toll. Incredible pictures. Thanks forjoining death toll. Incredible pictures. Thanks forjoining us.

We need to make sure the families who are alive have a response which is why we sent a team who will be in benghazi very soon and then on to derna.

We will keep you up to date with all the developments on this programme over the next few hours. Here in the uk the labour leader, sir keir starmer, has said if he becomes Prime Minister he would work closely with the European Union to target the gangs trafficking migrants across the channel. Hes visiting the hague, where the uk gave up its seat at the eu Law Enforcement agency, europol, after brexit. Sir keir denied the talks with the Eu Institution meant he was reversing his position on brexit and rejected conservative claims that the uk would be forced to accept thousands more Asylum Seekers as part of any eu agreement. He told the bbc� s mark easton His Govenment would end the use of hotels for Asylum Seekers. The government has completely lost control of this and the cost now to the taxpayer, year on year, for hotel accommodation, is £2 billion. What i would do is use a small amount of that money to recruit more caseworkers, to get the cases through and to make sure that within a reasonably short period of time, lets say 12 months from when this is operational, that we would clear out all of those who are currently in hotel accommodation. We can speak now to our Political Correspondent peter saull. Very interesting what we heard from keir starmer. What is the response from the government . This is an area of policy they havent seen as one of policy they havent seen as one of their strengths, one of the key pledges they have seen. We of their strengths, one of the key pledges they have seen. We are seeinu pledges they have seen. We are seeing the pledges they have seen. We are seeing the labour pledges they have seen. We are seeing the labour party pledges they have seen. We are seeing the labour party trying i pledges they have seen. We are seeing the labour party trying to i seeing the labour party trying to get on the front foot of an issue which Rishi Sunak Has made one of his top five priorities, to stop the boats. When we get to the general election next year no doubt this will be a key battleground and we are seeing today what the approach of labour to the issue is, starting to crystallise, the idea getting Asylum Seekers out of hotel after a year and he wants to get a new Security Agreement with the eu to help with things like data sharing and also the possibility of a returns agreement which would mean the uk could send back some of the Asylum Seekers who arrive on uk shores back to the continent. The potential issue is what does the eu get in return . It might mean the uk has got to take in some of the Asylum Seekers who are dispersed across mainland europe at the moment and that is a point the conservatives have been highlighting today. This is the Prime Minister on a visit to a hospital in devon. Keir starmer spent this year voting against our stop the boats built, the toughest legislation any government has passed to tackle illegal immigration and he spent most of last year voting against a previous bill which has led to almost 700 arrests related to organised Immigration Crime so i do not think it is credible that he really wants to grip this problem. His plans today seem to amount to saying that we might one day accept 100,00 eu migrants every year. That does not seem like a credible plan to me to stop the boats and meanwhile we are getting on and delivering, for the First Time Ever this year, the number of small Boat Arrivals is down by almost a fifth and the number of Illegal Migrants crossing from albania is down by 90 and we have got a plan and the plan is delivering and im determined to stop the boats. The figure of 100,000 Asylum Seekers coming to the uk is based on the current eu wide arrangement which is based on Population Size and brother countries so that is a good estimate of what the uk might have to take in about keir starmer has said that is embarrassing nonsense, that line of attack from the conservatives, and he said what he would be looking for it is a bespoke arrangement with the eu and of course the uk is not a member of the eu and the numbers would be nowhere near that. The government also wants a returns agreement but they say the red line is they would not want any type of quota involved to take people over from the eu so this debate really hotting up today and also interesting to note, a clear indication from keir starmer that he wants a rapprochement with the eu and a signal in terms of what labour would do with our closest neighbours. Would do with our closest neiuhbours. ,. , Around The World and across the uk. This is bbc news. Lets look at some other stories making news. Schools in leeds and bradford have been advised to be vigilant after what is called an Ongoing Investigation relating to threats made to a number of schools in west yorkshire.

Weve got quite a mixture of weather to take you through the rest of this afternoon and for scotland and Northern Ireland it stays quite windy, sunny spells and a few passing showers. The south of england, in contrast, will be dry with some sunshine. Between, for wales and the midlands into parts of lincolnshire, weve got this Weather Front bringing outbreaks of rain and the front trails all the way out into the atlantic to a developing area of low pressure that is then set to strengthen and move towards spain and portugal, bringing some severe storms there. At the same time, it will flick some warmer air across england and wales for tomorrow and will also control how much rain that we see into the week and beyond. Back to todays weather, though. This Weather Front stretching across wales, the midlands, lincolnshire. It will turn the rain a bit heavier as we go on through the afternoon, potentially getting across north wales into north west england. Sunny spells and showers for scotland and Northern Ireland, south of england, parts of east anglia, warm sunshine, perhaps feeling a little on the humid side as well. Now, as that low pressure starts to develop overnight and works towards portugal, we start to get some milder air moving in across england and wales. So temperatures about 11 to 14 degrees. But at the same time, well see the rain band extend across Northern England, reaching further northwards into parts of Northern Ireland and southern scotland. That process continues. On friday the rain could be quite heavy at times as well. To the south of that, its largely dry and sunny. But this Weather Front also separates what will be relatively cool air across the north of the uk, with temperatures about 13 to 15 degrees from the increasingly warm air that well have across england and wales, 22 to 25 degrees celsius with a rather humid feel to the weather as well. Into the weekend, that low pressure will start to throw a few showers in across southern areas of england, perhaps into parts of wales too. A few of the showers could be heavy and thundery. Start off with some damp weather across scotland and Northern England that should ease through the day and the weather will turn brighter and drier through the day across scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures here still a little bit below par, 14 to 16 degrees. Potentially pretty warm across the southeast 26c. By sunday were looking at showers and thunderstorms probably merging together to give some longer spells of heavy rain. The question is just how far north that gets. It could even reach as far north as parts of scotland through sunday. So well keep a close eye on that. Could be heavy enough to cause a few issues as well. This is bbc news, the headlines.
