Is expected to rise. The Hazara Express came off the rails near nawabshah in sindh province, as it travelled from karachi to abbottabad. Its not immediately clear what caused the derailment. These are the latest pictures from the scene, in a remote area. Emergency workers are battling to rescue passengers trapped in at least five overturned carriages, with more rescue teams deployed to the scene. An emergency has been declared in nearby hospitals, including this one in nawabshah, where casualties have been arriving. 0ur correspondent Tarhub Asghar is following developments from lahore. Well, a Rescue Operation is still going on. And according to the chief minister, he said that 30 people have been killed in this incident and 84 people are injured. The Nawabshah Hospital and 13 were received by another hospital. So the Rescue Operation is still going on. Army officials are there, rangers are there. So theyre trying to clear the operation, but still operation is under way. We know that its a remote scene, dont we . And difficulties with getting the heavy Lifting Equipment needed. I mean, were looking at pictures of the huge pieces of metal that are all twisted and how theyre going to manage to get people out of there, is it any clearer . Well, yes, that was a remote area. So what they have done, they asked different districts to send cranes and machinery that can help in cutting the crane that is damaged and in which people are still stuck. So it is getting dark as well. So definitely it is getting difficult for rescue people as well to do the operation. But they have received the machinery that is working and work is still going on, and theyre aiming to get it finished as soon as possible. What are the authorities saying about the possible causes of this accident . Well, according to the officials, theyre saying that it might look some technical issue that will be, you know, looking after the Rescue Operation will be finished. And they said that were definitely going to investigate it. Before that, they were saying that it might be a technical issue, or maybe someone has created a field, intentionally created this field, for this accident. But now they are saying that it looks like it is a technical issue due to which the derailing of the trim happened. Lets get more on this with our south asia editor anbarasan ethirajan. If you look at the pictures we showed earlier, it shows how powerful this derailment was. Several coaches had totally come off the tracks, they were turning to b sides, and one of them was even twisted, so the struggle for the authorities was to cut through this metal, these ivan bars on the windows so that they can go into the coaches and rescue people from there. And what we understand is the main concern for the authorities is to move all those injured people to various hospitals, and then investigate what led to this derailment. But this also puts a highlight on pakistans train infrastructure, it is the most popular mode of transport, middle class people, lower middle class manly poor people, they travel by train because it is cheaper, and they go to all parts of the country, which is why it is the most popular form of transport. Pakistan has about 7700 kilometres of tracks, and 80 Million People travel every year. But what the experts are saying is that enough money is not being invested in terms of track maintenance, signalling, and also lots of accidents happening in Unmanned Railway crossings, cars and jeeps try to cross the tracks at the time of the train coming, that also leads to accidents, which is why theyre asking for more investment. We have seen a number of accidents in pakistan in 2021, 2019, dozens of people have been killed, which is why there is an urgency to look into how to boost infrastructure in pakistan with regards railways. find pakistan with regards railways. And what about the Rescue Efforts and help for those injured . We are looking at passengers who were caught up on us, being taken to hospital, and this is a huge challenge for the limited Resources Available in those nearby hospitals. As one of the ministers told us earlier, it is a remote area where this accident took place, it is on the border between the two districts, so most of the people are being taken to nawabshah where they are being given treatment. At the same time, we spoke to the authorities and they said they had completed the rescue work in most of the compartments, but there was still one they were trying to get to, it was also getting darker, making Rescue Efforts a bit trickier. The provincial government has offered some Financial Assistance to the people, and as for now they have the a Health Emergency various hospitals so that these people can be admitted, but this is a crisis for the authorities because we are talking about more than 100 severely injured people. Severely inured people. Thank you for the severely injured people. Thank you for the update. the top moscow installed official in the occupied part of Ukraines Kherson region says two bridges linking it to crimea have been bombed by the advanced long range storm shadow cruise missiles supplied to ukraine. Vladimir saldo posted pictures showing huge holes in the Chonhar Bridge which provides access to the north east of the occupied peninsula. He said 12 missiles had been fired at the bridges over the chonhar and tonkyi straits. Nine, he said, were shot down. Traffic has been diverted much further westwards.

Staying in the uk, the Immigration Minister, robertjenrick, says the first group of Asylum Seekers will be moved to the Bibby Stockholm Barge, in dorset, in the coming days. Social Media Companies are also set to crack down on posts by People Smugglers that encourage Asylum Seekers to cross the english channel. Platforms like facebook and tiktok will work with the National Crime agency to take down messages that lure people into paying gangs to make the dangerous voyage in small boats. Earlier, i spoke to our Political Correspondent jonathan blake, and started by asking him how the social media crackdown on People Smugglers would work. Its been described as a voluntary partnership and the big social media firms, so x, formerly known as twitter, meta that owns facebook and instagram, and tiktok as well. And the idea being that they will work alongside the National Crime agency to not only find and remove posts which are in some cases offering special offers, discounts or fake documents for people to cross the channel in small boats, but also discourage people and guide them away from that sort of material. Presenting it as perhaps disinformation or inappropriate in the way that certain content around extremism, for example, or eating disorders is also managed. Some of this work is already going on, and it seems its just an effort, really, by the government to get these companies on board and redouble their efforts alongside those at the National Crime agency and the home office and elsewhere to attempt to target posts on social media, which are one big way in which people are finding themselves smuggled across the channel, in a trade which the Prime Minister, rishi sunak, has described as vile and is, of course, the scourge of ministers who have vowed to crack down on it. And indeed its one of the Prime Ministers five priorities to stop the boats, as he puts it, but large numbers of people continue to come to the uk illegally in that way. Yeah, and just briefly, jonathan, the story up behind you is about this bibby barge, which is going to house some of these Asylum Seekers in dorset. And more details about when that will be operational. We and more details about when that will be operational. And more details about when that will be operational. We have been talkin will be operational. We have been talking about will be operational. We have been talking about this will be operational. We have been talking about this for will be operational. We have been talking about this for a will be operational. We have been talking about this for a while, will be operational. We have been talking about this for a while, but| talking about this for a while, but it seems the expectation from the government is that some men will be moved onto the barge in dorset tomorrow. It had been expected to be last week, there were concerns over fire safety and health and safety regulations as well, so there have been delays, but now it seems around 50 men will be moved onto that accommodation, which has proved controversial, with many people in the local area objecting to it, and human Rights Groups and others criticising the governments approach to use the accommodation as well, but it looks as though the first people will be moved on board tomorrow. That is according to the Immigration Minister robertjenrick this morning speaking to sky news, not being quite that specific, saying it will come in the coming days. Italian coastguards have recovered the bodies of an african woman and her child after two boats carrying 90 migrants sunk off the island of lampedusa. More than 30 others are still missing.

Despite the americans dominating, Lindsey Horan coming close. The sides couldnt be separated in extra time either, and so it went to penalties. With the shootout tied at 4 4, kelly 0hara missed for the usa, hitting the post. That gave arsenals lina hurtig the chance to win it. It looked like Alyssa Naeher had kept it out but a var check showed itjust crossed the line. So sweden go through to face japan in the Quarter Finals whilst the four time champions are out. Us legend Megan Rapinoe missed one of the penalties in her last game before retiring. It doesnt matter if you dominate, that does not win games. You have to put the ball in the back of the net. Yeah, it sucks, its tough, we finally were able to express ourselves, we played so well. There was more in it for us. But it is never given. It is the tough one.

The former president took to his social media platform, truth social, to attack the lead prosecutor, thejudge, tania chutkan, and the department ofjustice, which he described as highly partisan and very corrupt. Live now to washington where we can speak to correspondent sean dilley for more on this. What is Donald Trumps problem with thisjudge . What is Donald Trumps problem with this udue . A , what is Donald Trumps problem with thisudue . , , thisjudge . Many problems, but this would appear thisjudge . Many problems, but this would appear to thisjudge . Many problems, but this would appear to relate thisjudge . Many problems, but this would appear to relate specifically i would appear to relate specifically to an attempt by the defence to have more times, to argue against a prosecution application. What the prosecution application. What the prosecution would like is the court to make an order to protect any of the confidential evidence once it is disclosed to donald trump. They say they are concerned that mr trump may make publish the wood public very confidential information including grand jury transcripts, he is arguing in his motion that witnesses are essentially and those involved need to be essentially protected. The judge did need to be essentially protected. Thejudge did not give need to be essentially protected. The judge did not give the prosecution what they wanted which was an immediate order, they set a date for monday, they said actually, can we have until thursday, please . And the judge has said can we have until thursday, please . And thejudge has said no. The art because have criticised the judge, she has tried many of the january six attackers, those who stormed the Capitol Building in 2021, she has been highly critical of them. In the past, she has released documents to congress that donald trump did not want to be released, so he would see her as being not necessarily a donald trump fan, so she said that he said that she needs to step aside and the venue needs to be outside of washington, dc. Has there been much of outside of washington, dc. Has there been much of a outside of washington, dc. Has there been much of a reaction . Outside of washington, dc.

Not really, it is within the last hour he it is within the last hour he has made the post, but there are some interesting things here at the moment, his lawyer has been doing the rounds with the media, making it very clear that he is setting up the former president s defence strategy. He is saying, what he has done might be wrong, but he is arguing it is not criminal, he hasjust lobbied the Vice President mike pence. A very puzzling comment made by the lawyer on us networks, quite a number of them, he said if mike pence, donald trump four Vice President was called and he would be the star witness. The Defence Attorney has the ability to subpoena witnesses, so that was a slightly puzzling one. A poll looks into what peoples perceptions are in terms of whether mr trump tried to stay on in the white house using illegal means. More than half said they thought he did do that. Republicans generally as you can imagine, say he has been the victim of a witch scenario, as he has previously said himself. Of people all voters, and suggesting it is an attempt to stop people from voting for donald trump. Thank you, sean dilley. Some breaking news, Israeli Forces according to the army have killed three and Palestinian Militants on the west bank. Three our stunning militants. Three Palestinian Militants. A deadline for the militaryjunta in niger to step down is nowjust hours away. The west African Regional bloc of ecowas gave the coup leaders a week to reinstate the ousted president mohamed bazoum, and threatened military intervention if its demands were not met. Thereve been reports of sporadic shows of support for the junta on the streets of the capital, niamey. But overall the city is said to be calm. Some neighbouring countries including mali, burkina faso, and guinea have voiced support for the coup leaders. And algeria, which Borders Niger to the north, has said it is categorically against armed intervention. France says it will support efforts by ecowas to restore nigers elected president. Nigers Prime Minister was in paris on saturday, meeting lawmakers and greeting protestors outside the countrys embassy. He has dismissed pro coup protests taking place in his country. A lot of Western Nations will be keeping a key eye on events, and that deadline later, in niger. 0ur reporter Nicky Schiller has been looking at why. Why is kneejerk so important . First of all, geographically, it is the largest country in west africa. It is also part of the key strip of land running from the red sea through to the atlantic ocean. Secondly, politically. Until recently, niger had been seen to have relative democratic stability, especially as its neighbours mali and burkina faso had had military coups, while the president was seen as a key partner of some European Countries trying to stop migrants getting across the mediterranean sea. He has also cracked down on human trafficking. Next, strategically. Niger hosts both us and French Military bases, and was seen as a key partner in the fight against islamist militants. Indeed, the Us State Department said it was important as a linchpin for stability, adding that it was a reliable counterterrorism partner in the fight against those insurgents linked to Islamic State and also alqaeda. The wagner mercenaries, acted elsewhere in the region, have also been seen as having a malign influence in niger. You may have seen this picture student some recent protests in support of the coup, Holding Russian flags as well as flying the flag of niger. Economically, the country is rich in uranium, indeed it is one of the worlds biggest producers. It provides around 5 of Global Uranium supplies. Indeed, the radioactive metal is so important that one of the main thoroughfares through the capital is actually named after it. But it is worth remembering that the people of niger consistently rank among some of the poorest in terms of Living Standards anywhere in the world. Lets take you to portugal now and some live pictures of the pope whos been attending various events to mark an International Festival of catholic youth over the past few days. Hes in the district of alg s near lisbon attending a meeting with World Youth Day Leaders to thank them for their work. Earlier today, he attended a mass at a Riverside Park in the Portuguese Capital The Mass was concelebrated by 700 bishops and 10,000 priests, who distributed communion to the huge crowd. Many of the faithful slept outdoors, having attending a vigil there on saturday night, and they gathered in sweltering heat. Live now to lisbon and our correspondent alison roberts, whos watching events. It seems to have been a hugely successful visit by the pope. Yes. It seems to have been a hugely successful visit by the pope. Yes, a ro erl successful visit by the pope. Yes, a properly thinks successful visit by the pope. Yes, a properly thinks it successful visit by the pope. Yes, a properly thinks it has successful visit by the pope. Yes, a properly thinks it has gone successful visit by the pope. Yes, a properly thinks it has gone quite i properly thinks it has gone quite well. He is meeting with something around 20,000 volunteers and organisers of this massive event, at any other time in a large gathering, but after todays1 million plus pilgrims attending the mass with the pope and the specially created venue on the edge of lisbon, it is just a drop in the ocean. And last night, again more than1 Million People came to individual. Throughout the week, large gatherings in central lisbon, many more people than perhaps some expected, the organisers always said it could be around 1 Million People. It has to be said that many people in lisbon who are not thinking of attending the event have left the capital, it is really ground to a halt, but i think from the Point Of View of the catholic church, and suddenly the pope who praises the energy of youth and it seems to see youth as a vehicle for bringing change in the catholic church, he will suddenly think this has been a big success. And what do you make of the fact that so many young people have turned out to show their support and to see the point in person . {iii to see the point in person . Of course this is an event instituted byjohn paul ii, several decades ago, and he was a purple had a very strong bond with young catholics at that time, and that has been carried on now by this pope, and the cry that has been heard most often here has been, this is the youth of the pope, in spanish and in portuguese. So people here want to express that bond that they feel with this particular pope, and the change he is bringing. Alison, thank you very much for taking us through that. Stay with us here on bbc news. Some hefty showers around today, but on the whole it has been a dry, bright, and, day.
