By the Famed Grafitti artist. Hello and welcome to the programme. A powerful 7. 2 earthquake has hit haiti authorities say at least 304 people have been killed. Prime Minister Ariel Henry described the situation as dramatic and has declared a State Of Emergency. Mr henry said the quake had caused huge damage and many casualties across the south of the country. President biden has authorised immediate help from the us. This report from david willis. One of the poorest countries in the world has been dealt another devastating blow. And the people of haiti are once again dealing with the aftermath of a massive earthquake. This one centred on the countrys South Western peninsula, a less populated area than the Capital Port Au Prince, which was flattened by an earthquake 11 years ago, but stronger and closer to the surface. More than 200,000 people died in the 2010 Earthquake And Haitis prime Minister Ariel Henry said numerous lives have been lost in todays disaster. Translation the government decided this morning to declare | a State Of Emergency for one month following this disaster. We call on the population to show solidarity with Each Other. Lets Avoid Panic in the face of this earthquake. Us scientists are predicting the Death Toll could run into thousands and President Biden has already promised us aid. Haitis Chief Seismologist predicted the last big earthquake but admits this one took everyone by surprise. Translation for a few years, we have been carrying out seismic monitoring in each department with monthly reports of earthshaking. The Southern Department was less at risk among the ten geographic departments so to me it is a surprise and it shows that earthquakes are totally unpredictable. Only last month, haiti was plunged into a political crisis following the murder of its former president jovenel moise. Riven by Poverty And Gang violence are now suffering the effects of another massive earthquake, it is also in the path of a tropical storm that is due to hit the region early next week. David willis, Bbc News, los angeles. Leila bourahla is the haiti Country Director of save the children. I asked her what she was hearing from her colleagues on the ground. The situation is horrific, a lot of devastation, dozens of collapsed houses. People are panicked, they are looking of course for people who have stayed under the collapsed house. In some of the towns there have been flooding, people have been trying to escape the flooding. I mean, the trauma of the earthquake in 2010 is very present and the natural hurricane in 2016. So people have been trying to escape a potential tsunami. So at the moment its very difficult because it seems a lot of areas have been severely affected, we are particularly concerned about the state of children and the most vulnerable, we need to respond quickly. The problem is of Course Access is still an issue in haiti and particularly moving from porto pranced to the south, some of the area is controlled by gangs and they are still fighting, we still cannot pass with humanitarian goods to the south of the country so we are trying to look at alternative ways to make sure we provide support. We need a couple of days to assess all the villagers because its not one area, its several villages that are affected in the south. And in some areas, its particularly difficult to reach, we are trying to see with other colleagues, what is best to make the weight with Emergency Assistance and we feel we need massive humanitarian emergencies to be able to respond. Emergencies to be able to remind emergencies to be able to resond. ,. , respond. You mentioned the revious respond. You mentioned the previous natural respond. You mentioned the previous natural disasters, l previous natural disasters, haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, talk about the issues when it comes especially to children with cleaning up after this earthquake. Cleaning up after this earthuuake. , earthquake. Yes, definitely, children are earthquake. Yes, definitely, children are hit earthquake. Yes, definitely, children are hit by earthquake. Yes, definitely, children are hit by poverty, l children are hit by poverty, very poor education, lack of access to health, so basically, after more than a year of covid, as well, more than a year of civil insecurity, children are hit by another disaster. It means it will be much more difficult for them to recover and thats why it is important for us to act very quickly. Particularly with health, nutrition, and education in emergencies, in an environment that is protected for them. The us president , joe biden, has issued a stong defence of his decision to pull us troops out of afghanistan as the countrys fourth largest City Mazar E sharif was captured by the taliban. In a written statement, he says hed inherited a deal made by his Predecessor Donald Trump which imposed a deadline for us withdrawal and cut the number of the countrys troops in afghanistan down to a bare minimum. He went on to say one more year, orfive more years, of us military presence would not have made a difference if the afghan Military Cannot or will not hold its own country. And an endless american presence in the middle of another countrys civil conflict was not acceptable to me. The taliban have continued to seize yet more territory and are now in control of more regional capitals than the government. As weve reported, Mazar E Sharif in the north, has now also fallen to taliban fighters. It had been the afghan governments last northern stronghold. Provincial authorities say Security Forces abandoned weapons and fled to the border with uzbekistan. Our correspondent in afghanistan, secunder kermani, sent this report. This is the very centre of kabul. Thousands who have fled fighting across the north now live in these miserable conditions. This family escaped the violence, but say they still dont feel safe. Translation were thirsty. Were hungry. We have no home. Other makeshift camps are even bigger. But this, in the heart of the city, shows how quickly the country is unravelling. We dont want to go back to the era where our sisters and our Education Sector and the Development Sector was so shattered, we dont want to go back to that. Today, fighting erupted around Mazar E Sharif. It was one of the last major cities still under Government Control and had been a bastion of anti taliban resistance. By this evening, Security Forces were fleeing to the border with uzbekistan as the insurgents took it over. Once in kandahar, their spiritual home, the taliban cemented their position with a flag hoisting ceremony. Finally addressing the nation this morning, president ghani didnt comment on rumours he may resign. Instead, simply promising to re mobilise beleaguered forces. For now, for many people here in kabul, life is continuing more or less as normal but the taliban are getting closer and closer to the city and there is increasing concern that a fierce and protracted Battle For Control Of Kabul could be imminent. The speed of the Talibans Advance has led to the us and uk together deploying more than 5,500 troops to afghanistan to repatriate their citizens and many of their embassy staff. Many afghan cities are now being handed over to the taliban, following local deals with the Security Forces. That may be the only way to avoid even more suffering in kabul, too, but would mean an end to life here as residents know it. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. Lets get some of the days other news. At least ten people have been killed in a Grenade Attack on a truck in pakistans largest city, karachi. The victims, which included four children, were travelling home from a wedding on saturday night. Ten other people were injured. No one has yet admitted carrying out the attack. A massive Search And Rescue operation is continuing in northern turkey where at least 44 people have died in flash floods. The floods swept through the black Sea Region earlier this week, causing some buildings to collapse and damaging roads, bridges and power lines. Its the second natural disaster to hit the country this month following wildfires in the south. A water dropping plane with eight people On Board has crashed in southern turkey, killing all On Board. Russias Defence Ministry said five russian servicemen and three turkish citizens were On Board the plane. The country has been trying to contain some of the worst wildfires in years along the south coast. Here in the uk, the decision to return a shotgun and a Firearms Licence to a man who killed five people in plymouth in the South West of england on thursday is being examined by the independent police watchdog. Jake davison� s victims included his mother, maxine, a three year old girl, Sophie Martyn, and her father, lee. Davison also injured two other people before turning the gun on himself. Our correspondent Jon Kay has more. 200 miles from westminster, the Home Secretary came to plymouth to pay her respects. Five people were shot dead by the gunman. The first was his mother, maxine davison. Then there was Lee Martyn and his three year old daughter, sophie. 66 year old kate shepherd, from cornwall, a talented artist. And stephen washington, who was 59 and killed while walking his dogs. Its tragic beyond words, really, really tragic. Priti patel promised to support the community, with Specialist Help for anyone left traumatised. She wouldnt comment on news that the gunman, Jake Davison, had his Firearms Licence returned to him last month, even though he posted Hate Filled Rants online. Home secretary, Should Davison Have had a gun . You say you want to reassure people here, a lot of people have questions about gun control. My Brain Cant Process it, physically Cant Process that information i was given. Chris says his family is reeling. Not only was his Auntie Maxine shot dead, but it was her son that killed her. Chris never met his cousin Jake Davison and doesnt understand what has gone so catastrophically wrong. Its impossible, you Cant Plan for this, you cant see the next day or the day after or the day after, you just literally take each day as it comes. But ijust know that, as a family, they will come together, be there for Each Other and try to understand this horrendous thing thats happened. And also the other four innocent people that had no part in this. Im sorry to everybody going through this, it must be the worst thing in the World And I cant even imagine to understand. Among those grieving are the family of three year old Sophie Martyn and her father lee, apparently shot at random as they walked home together. They were definitely a pair, little one running around and, you know, eating all the ice creams. Only last month, Sam Wright was watching the euros with them at the anchorage pub. You know, hejust absolutely doted on her, she was an amazing Little Girl and he was a great dad. She hasnt even started her life, she is so little and its just, yeah, its terrible. Silence this afternoon at plymouth argyles match. Concerts have been cancelled. 48 hours on, this city has so many questions. As the community grieves, detectives investigate. Here at the scene where the shootings began on Thursday Night and at 12 other locations around this area. And its notjust members of the public who witnessed these attacks that are being offered counselling so, too, are members of the police force. Jon kay, Bbc News, plymouth. This is Bbc News the headlines at least 30a people have died in a powerful earthquake in haiti the Prime Minister has issued a month long State Of Emergency. The last major city in northern afghanistan Mazar E Sharif falls to the taliban, as President Biden defends his decision to pull out us troops. Australias most populous state, New South Wales, has awoken to a statewide lockdown, with the Premier Warning of difficult months ahead. More than a0 people have died in this current outbreak with tighter restrictions coming into play including increased fines for covid breaches. The state wide lockdown will be in place for at least a week and is an extension of stay at home measures which have been in place in Greater Sydney for the past seven weeks. Our news reporter, Tanya Dendrinosjoins Me now. Talk us through these latest measures. As you mention, Greater Sydney has been in lockdown for a number of weeks, unfortunately, the issue has not been enough to mitigate that spread, the Delta Variant running rampant across sydney and now, as weve seen, cases beginning to increase across regional New South Wales, at her Press Conference yesterday, the premier announced tightening of restrictions in Greater Sydney means the ten Kilometre Radius has reduced to five kilometres so people are only allowed within five kilometres of their home to shop or exercise. They have also increased the points, 5,000 for bridging Self Isolation or lying to a contact tracer. 3000 Australian Dollars for breaching the two person outdoor exercise limitation areas, also increased Police Presence to ensure these measures are met. Some hours after the Press Conference the premier said she had received some Health Advice about regional New South Wales and she then decided on twitter to announce the week long lockdown for regional New South Wales as well, meaning the entire state is now under a orders and we are seeing hospitality venues, pubs, restaurants closed as well in those regions. Well in those regions. Many eole well in those regions. Many people throughout well in those regions. Many people throughout the well in those regions. Many people throughout the pandemic have looked at australia as a country that has managed coronavirus relatively well, its kept infections and deaths low. ~. , its kept infections and deaths low. ~. ,. , , low. What has happened here . Australia was low. What has happened here . Australia was able low. What has happened here . Australia was able to low. What has happened here . Australia was able to close australia was able to close international borders in march last year, limiting the spread of the coronavirus and up until now, theyve been able to largely limit the spread of the outbreaks that they have had. Melbourne last year was the biggest outbreak in lockdown that we have seen but by and large, everything has operated relatively as normal. Unfortunately, the problem and how it has unravel, as i said, the Delta Variant is running rampant and that is because the Vaccination Rate in australia is so low. Some months ago the prime Minister Scott Morrison came out and said this is not a race, unfortunately we know using the rest of the world as an example, the only way to move forward is getting Vaccination Rates up and unfortunately only around a quarter of australians have been vaccinated so far. I think perhaps the positive in all of this is as this outbreak continues, perhaps people who were sceptical about the virus or had not seen first hand the impact, are starting to realise and the vaccine take up, there have been positive impacts of the vaccine take up as a result of this outbreak in sydney and hopefully they can start to speed up the roll out and speed of supply which is needed. Thank you for the update. From wildfires to floods and heatwaves, anxiety is running high around the impacts of Climate Change. This week, a Landmark Un report warned Human Activity is changing the climate in unprecedented and sometimes irreversible ways, sounding � a Code Red for humanity. A report from imperial college Londons Institute of global Health Innovation suggests evidence is also mounting that Climate Change poses a threat to mental health. Dr Grant Blashki is an Associate Professor at the university of melbournes Nossal Institute For Global Health and the author of the book climate, health and courage. He has seen first hand the impact of climate Change And Anxiety in australia, which has been ravaged by natural disasters. Hejoins me now from melbourne. Thank you very much for being on the programme. Climate anxiety sounds like a bit of a label that could potentially be attributed to everyday concerns and worries.

To play post traumatic stress disorder. To play devils advocate, surely some element of Climate Anxiety is good . We have these reports giving us a Code Red warning for humanity, we should be worried, anxious, because that will prompt us to act, no . I will prompt us to act, no . I could not agree with you more. Appropriate worry is not an anxiety appropriate worry is not an anxiety condition. We ought to be worried. The recent report, global be worried. The recent report, global temperature 1. 1 degrees up, global temperature 1. 1 degrees op. They global temperature 1. 1 degrees up, they are telling us possibly 1. 5 degrees by 2030 and you possibly 1. 5 degrees by 2030 and you know, Carbon Dioxide the highest it has been in 2 Million the highest it has been in 2 Million years so yes, appropriate worry is essential. I guess appropriate worry is essential. I guess unhelpful anxiety is paralysing, too much guilt, you will be paralysing, too much guilt, you will be able to fix it on your owrr~ will be able to fix it on your owrr~ but will be able to fix it on your own. But really, the mature way to approach it is to say it is hot to approach it is to say it is hot too to approach it is to say it is not too late, all efforts are actually not too late, all efforts are actually worthwhile. 2 Degrees Rise would be a lot than four degrees, rise would be a lot than four degrees, we have to convince our leaders to be brave. And have our leaders to be brave. And have ambitious goals for this upcoming glasgow cop26 meeting. Especially australia. Especially australia. Australia specifically especially australia.

People have been flocking to Seaside Resorts on the East Coast of england after the grafitti artist, banksy, confirmed he was behind a series of holiday themed works. One of the pieces has become such hot property that the new owner has had to move it to a secret location. Jenny kirk has more. Is it or isnt it . The question on everyones lips for the last week has been answered. I absolutely love it. I think its wonderful its come this way to lowestoft. I think its the best thing thats happened to this town in years, to be honest. For some, this is vandalism, to others, its art. And instead of removing it, the local council says they are beyond excited, its a real boost for Great Yarmouth and lowestoft. Everybody thats seen these pieces has smiled, everybody has had pleasure from what hes put out there and thats a wonderful thing to be able to do. Hundreds of thousands of people can go and see the artwork and it will make them smile. This is how the elusive artist whose work sells for millions ended the speculation. By posting online his spraycation. But there is less good news for kings lynn, banksy� s reimagining of a prominent statue with an Ice Cream Cone has already been removed. At maryville model village, theyve had substantial offers for their banksy. But they are not selling. The public unfortunately werent respecting it, they were trying to climb over, get up close with and we were fearful it was going to get damaged so we had to move it off site and with the news last night, the Insurance Company insisted we put it in a secure facility. How now to protect and capitalise on his work, a nice problem to have. Special to know that banksy actually was here jenny kirk, Bbc News. A reminder of our top story. The authorities in haiti say more than 300 people died when a powerful earthquake hit the country. Hospitals in the most affected areas, in South West haiti, are struggling to provide care for hundreds of survivors. In the seaport of les cayes, many people are believed to be buried under the rubble of two collapsed hotels. The Prime Minister, ariel henry, has declared a State Of Emergency for a month. President biden has authorised immediate help from the us. Haiti hasnt yet fully recovered from a magnitude seven quake near the capital, port Au Prince just over a decade ago. Much more on that story on the Bbc News website. You can download the Bbc News app. Keep up to date with the latest developments from afghanistan. You can reach me on twitter im Rich Preston that is it for me for the time being. Thank you for watching. Hello. It is turning into a very mixed but not particularly dramatic weekend of weather. Saturday brought a bit of sunshine, a bit of rain for some. Its a similar mix as we head into sunday. A couple of frontal systems, this curl of a Weather Front here bringing rain for parts of Northern Ireland, england and wales at times. This front pushing into Northern Scotland promises some pretty hefty showers. And in between, some zones of drier, brighter weather. Some patchy rain likely to push across East Anglia and the South East through sunday morning, but then brighter skies follow, at least for a time. More cloud for wales and the South West, spots of rain here. Some rain for a time in northern england, but Northern Ireland should brighten up with some sunshine. Quite a lot of dry weather for southern and central parts of scotland, but Northern Scotland will see some showers. And it will feel decidedly cool here, highest temperatures across parts of Eastern England up to 23 degrees. So, we will see areas of cloud and some showery rain continuing through sunday evening, but most places turn dry into the early hours of monday. Notice quite a lot of Cloud Out West by this stage, and overnight temperatures generally between ten and 14 degrees. So, as we start monday, we have low pressure to the North East of us, High Pressure attempting to build from the west. We are essentially trapped between the two, and that brings a north westerly wind across the uk, not a particularly warm north westerly wind, i have to say, and one that will also introduce quite a lot of cloud, especially across western areas. That cloud bringing in some showery rain at times. The best of the sunshine across eastern scotland, down across the eastern side of england, but temperatures will struggle. 16 to 20, maybe 21 degrees in the south of england, thats the very best we can expect. And then as we get on into tuesday, again, we can expect lots of cloud, some showery rain here and there. Weve still got that north westerly wind, so temperatures are going to be a little disappointing for this point in mid august. A high of 17 perhaps in aberdeen, 19 in cardiff, 20 there in london. And as we head through the middle part of the week, we keep that north westerly flow across the uk and we keep that feed of cloud. Now, it is not going to be cloudy all the time, that cloud will break to give some sunny spells, but generally speaking, if you expect lots of cloud, you wont go too far wrong. Temperatures will struggle, though, high teens or low 20s. This is Bbc News. The headlines at least 304 people have died in a powerful earthquake in haiti. The Prime Minister says there is extensive damage and has declared a month long State Of Emergency. Haiti is still recovering from a devastating 2010 earthquake, which killed 200,000 people and affected the economy. The last major city in northern afghanistan Mazar E Sharif has fallen to the taliban, who have been advancing at speed as us led forces withdraw. Fighters are edging closer to the capital kabul. Us President Biden has been defending his decision to pull out us troops from the country. Tributes have been paid to the plymouth shooting victims as questions are asked of police about why a Shotgun Licence was returned to the man who killed five people. The decision is being examined by the independent police watchdog. Its the uks worst Mass Shooting since 2010. Now on Bbc News the travel show
