correspondent, dominic hughes. the first thing to say straightaway, this is a really significant move, both senior and junior doctors striking at the same time? it is striking at the same time? it is significant. _ striking at the same time? it is significant, and _ striking at the same time? it is significant, and it _ striking at the same time? it 3 significant, and it follows the announcement of a fresh ballot on strike action by the junior doctors. they were seeking a mandate for a further six months of potential strike action. the junior doctors who are members of the british medical association, far and away the largest union that the junior doctors belong to, there was a 77.49% turnout in that ballad, and 98% of them voted yes to continuing strike action. as a result of that, they have decided to join the strike action being taken by consultants, the more senior doctors who will be striking on the 19th and 20th of september, and thejunior striking on the 19th and 20th of september, and the junior doctors willjoin them on the 20th of september and carry on for a further three days. then they will both take on the second, third and 4th of october. a very significant ballot result and strike action. that is going to have a big impact on the health service over those days of strike action.— health service over those days of strike action. when “unior doctors strike, consultants — strike action. when junior doctors strike, consultants have -

been announced. dominic hughes, thank you very much for real. let's turn to news that has been developing in the last hour or so. donald trump has pleaded not guilty in his georgia election fraud case. he's waived the right to appear in court next week to officially answer charges. the former us president is among 19 people charged with conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election results in georgia. live now to washington, we can speak to north america correspondent, wyre davis. that has been much speculation here in the united states. every twist and turn of the donald trump sagaf. he faces a total of 91 charges at federal and state level in relation to events around and after the 2020 election. this particular case is in relation to the charges he faces any state of georgia. he faces 13 charges in georgia, basically around the fact that you try to overturn, means of overturning the presidential election in that state. mr trump did presidential election in that state. mrtrump did have presidential election in that state. mr trump did have to appear in georgia last week to be formally surrendered. that picture up there as the mugshot taken of mr trump at that surrender. he has used up mugshot as part of his campaign against the charges he is facing in georgia. there has been spray collision he might turn out to be formally arraigned, to formally face those charges next week. but in a letter now to the court mr trump says he understands the charges against him and pleads not guilty to all those charges, and he has waived his right to appear in person next week to have those charges formally presented to him. we week to have those charges formally presented to him.— presented to him. we have four indictments _ presented to him. we have four indictments in _ presented to him. we have four indictments in total. _ presented to him. we have four indictments in total. just -

nomination. mr trump is still the leading republican contender by| nomination. mr trump is still the - leading republican contender by some distance to fight the presidential election next year despite everything. as it stands, he will start his election campaign formally at the start of next year. but that could clash with many of these charges against him. we already know that one of the federal cases has been slated for march of next year, just a day before one of the biggest dates in the election calendar. the prosecutor in georgia has already made it clear that she wants to see the trials in georgia to start within the next six months. it is very difficult to see how all of these four separate cases can be fitted in around the election campaign. mrtrump himself fitted in around the election campaign. mr trump himself and fitted in around the election campaign. mrtrump himselfand his legal team are trying to get many of the cases put off, but he will probably have to face at least one of the charges, perhaps the federal case in march next year, but many people are speculating if the georgia case will be heard as the prosecutor wants within the next six months. schools in england are being told to immediately shut buildings made with a type of concrete that is prone to collapse, until safety measures are in place. more than 100 schools are being contacted before the start of term. the decision has come from the government who say, "nothing is more important than making sure children and staff are safe in schools and colleges." they added that, "the plan we have set out will minimise the impact on pupil learning and provide schools with the right funding and support they need." let's head straight to the inner rim and get the latest on the story from simonjones. —— to the news room. just take us through the number of schools are likely to be affected here.

mitigation in place, such as reinforcing ceilings or walls, they cannot use those buildings. for individual schools, cannot use those buildings. for individualschools, it cannot use those buildings. for individual schools, it might be that one or two buildings are affected and pupils can perhaps been taught on other parts of the school site, or perhaps they can bring in portable cabins. but for a number of schools, it may mean that the entire schools, it may mean that the entire school site will have to be shut and the school will have to look for alternative sites elsewhere and the towns and villages affected were the pupils can go instead, because the government say safety is paramount here. ~ ., ., government say safety is paramount here. . ., ., , government say safety is paramount

says it has made this decision today looking at most recent cases it has been analysing and deciding on a safety first approach. but it is going to cause a massive headache for schools. they are supposed to have contingency plans in place for looking at sites of school sites potentially sucked. but if you are shutting school sites, it is finding space for hundreds of pupils to learn elsewhere. so we are talking about the potential perhaps of learning online that we saw during the pandemic coming back into play. but the government says it wants to see face to see face—to—face

removed from an academic�*s research that connects her to a slave—owning ancestor. malik al nasir named ms sandbach as a descendant of samuel sandbach — a liverpool merchant who had a stake in plantations in the west indies — in a 2021 video. she argues there's no public interest in identifying her. sandwich chain pret a manger has been fined £800,000, after a member of staff was trapped in a walk—in freezer at one of its london shops for 2.5 hours. the woman was treated for suspected hypothermia, and says she feared for her life. pret a manger say they've "worked with the manufacturer to develop a solution to stop this from happening again." police trying to trace a poet who went missing at a music festival have found a body during a nearby search operation. gboyega odubanjo was last seen at the shambala music festival in northamptonshire at around 4am on saturday morning. he was invited to read poetry at the event the following day. formal identification of the body has not yet taken place. you're live with bbc news. in south africa, 74 people including 12 children have died in a fire that has torn through a derelict five storey building injohannesburg. the emergency services said the building in the city's former business district was being used by homeless people. dozens of people were injured, and rushed to hospital. it's been described, as one of the worst fire incidents in the city's recent history. let's talk to our correspondent injohannesburg, pumza fihlani. every detail in this story has been horrifying, hasn't it? apologies. clearly that line failing as they are injohannesburg. we were just are injohannesburg. we werejust listening a little earlier to a news conference from johannesburg, taking us through some of the details of this terrible event. these are the live pictures from johannesburg. we were hearing earlier that the president was due to give a national address. he cancelled and instead decided to head to the scene of that fire overnight. you can see the state of the building now after the fire has been put out. throughout the day they had been going through those rooms. we were hearing in a news conference terrible details about what they were finding inside, the bodies they were recovering, the difficulties in identifying many of those people. certainly one of those gates that they were trying to get through had been locked and they were trapped there in part of that building. the numbers have been arising throughout the course of today and we know now that at least 12 children are among the casualties. a number of other people actually managed to escape, some jumping from the upper floors. we had one survivor talking about how they actually threw a baby out. just some of the details that have emerged in the last few hours. we have managed to restore that land with our correspondent in johannesburg. it has been terrible detail we have been listening to through the course of today. some of the survivors — through the course of today. some of the survivors that _ through the course of today. some of the survivors that we _ through the course of today. some of the survivors that we heard _ through the course of today. some of the survivors that we heard from - the survivors that we heard from described having to through their babies out of the window and jump out of windows themselves, scrambling to get to safety. we are hearing reports ofjust the panic that ensued in a number of those flaws in that building from around one o'clock in the morning as hundreds of people try to get to safety. authorities are starting to describe the living conditions, describing them as a building that could be described as an informal settlement with party students that were built like shacks throughout the body, even as far as the basement itself. —— with partitions. it is starting to point fingers at authorities about four over why such conditions were allowed to exist and what can be done to prevent tragedies like this happening again. in the city ofjohannesburg often becomes a target of criminal gangs who take over old buildings and then rent them out illegally to either african migrants who have come into the country desperate for work, or poorer south africans from various parts of the country who also come tojohannesburg looking for better economic prospects. tote to johannesburg looking for better economic prospects.— economic prospects. we now city officials are _ economic prospects. we now city officials are under— economic prospects. we now city officials are under huge - economic prospects. we now city officials are under huge pressure| officials are under huge pressure about exactly that, this issue of hijacking buildings. how frequently does it happen? we heard news conference that the authorities saying we are going to have to have to change things to make sure things like this can't happen again. presumably, they have had ample opportunity to change things in the past, but haven't so far? certainly, this is something _ past, but haven't so far? certainly, this is something ingrained - past, but haven't so far? certainly, this is something ingrained in - past, but haven't so far? certainly, this is something ingrained in the l this is something ingrained in the fibre of the city centre. this was once a hive of business activity, and businesses gradually over the years have moved away to more affluent parts of the city, leaving those buildings open for take over from anyone. many people have said this is not a new problem. we have repeatedly heard stories about buildings being taken over and that slumberland was taking them over illegally and people being crammed into these buildings, and authorities simply turning a blind eye or not doing enough. one of the reasons that the authorities are trying to give in at the defence is, under the law here it is difficult to evict someone, even if they have occupied a place illegally because you wouldn't need to find accommodation, so that then becomes difficult to manage. they say it is difficult to manage. they say it is difficult to manage. they say it is difficult to even run a macro work out who is running these buildings, some of them use aliases, some of them are undocumented. but the residents from this particular building is that although now, like clockwork every week people come in and collect rent from them. as far as they knew, they were paying rent to the right people, and they are dumbfounded now about where to go and why they help seems to have come to them quickly enough. aha, and why they help seems to have come to them quickly enough.— to them quickly enough. a government minister hasjust _ to them quickly enough. a government minister hasjust been _ to them quickly enough. a government minister hasjust been speaking - to them quickly enough. a government minister hasjust been speaking to - minister has just been speaking to the bbc, the ministerfor the presidency, talking about being let at the side, saying it is beyond anyone's imagination. but they say the city ofjohannesburg has been to court several times to evict the hijackers, but they were always defeated in courts because the ngos that supported the very people today who have perished. clearly pointing the finger at ngos, saying they will hold them responsible for each and every life lost today in johannesburg. you can see already some of the politics entering the equation in the aftermath of this tragedy. here, police officers found guilty of gross misconduct will be sat under new powers given to police cheese. the overhaul was prompted by the convictions of former metropolitan police forces, wayne couzens, who murdered sarah everard, and the serial rapist david carrick. the metropolitan police commissioner has been very vocal in calling for exactly this type of change, so take us through it. exactly this type of change, so take us through it— us through it. calling for the sort of change. _ us through it. calling for the sort of change. i _ us through it. calling for the sort of change, i think. _ us through it. calling for the sort of change, i think. it _ us through it. calling for the sort of change, i think. it is _ of change, i think. it is interesting where we have got to, because when you look at how the police have responded, two very different verdicts on the changes that have been brought in. i think senior officers, chief constables, probably publicly they will be supportive, but privately they don't think that this goes far enough, that the new rules will mean that, yes, you will have a police officer, instead of a purely discipline and the independent panel, that will preside over the proceedings with a lay person and a lawyer. but they can be at will to two to one, and they're still the possibility of it going to appeal. i think there is concern that assists not get too concern that assists not get too concern of what the cheese have been saying, which is they want control of he was in the ranks, and who they can sack and who they can't sack. but from the rank and file, a very different view of what this is about. the police federation have said it is going to see a return to kangaroo courts, with senior police officers basically having made up their mind that they want to get rid of someone for misconduct, will now be, as it were, thejudge and jury marking their own homework on these panels. you have got these two contrasting views. the government really coming up with an answer in the middle. they are strengthening up the middle. they are strengthening up some of the rules around letting, they are trying to speed up the process, they are trying to find a balance to sort of retain independence, but at the same time give police chiefs a bit more say. but it is not real lately kind of victory that the metropolitan police commissioner had wanted, nor is it anything that the police federation will be happy about. mark anything that the police federation will be happy about.— will be happy about. mark easton, thank ou will be happy about. mark easton, thank you for— will

mark easton, i thank you for taking us through that story. grant shapps has been appointed as the new uk defence secretary. mr shapps has previously held a number of other cabinet positions including energy and transport secretary. he succeeds ben wallace, who has resigned and is standing down from parliament at the next general election. writing on social media, mr shapps said, "as i get to work at defence headquarters, i am looking forward to working with the brave men and women of our armed forces who defend our nation's security, and continuing the uk's support for ukraine in theirfight against putin's barbaric invasion." we will have more on that reshuffle on the programme in about ten minutes' time. let's change gears completely. police in norfolk, in nebraska, pulled over a car for having a huge bull standing in its passenger seat. the car had half of its roof cut off to fit the animal in. the man driving the car was given a warning by police, and was ordered to take the bull back home. let's talk live to the reporter who actually found the bull and at the car and filmed footage we have been showing you. andrew, welcome to the programme. you couldn't make it up! yeah,

morning, then other digital editor came in and said we have just got a report from someone on the highway that there is a man driving a full—sized bull down the highway. and if i went on the highway and drive less for about 15—20 minutes, i could see it. so, having no story that morning, thatis so, having no story that morning, that is exactly what i did. i hopped in the car and drove west for a solid 15 minutes, watching the cars pass by, nothing. sure enough i saw this black speck in the distance get closer and closer, and i was like, thatis closer and closer, and i was like, that is a full

break, ijust want to turn back to the situation in the south africa. we were learning some of the details, and south africa's president who was visiting the site, he was supposed to do a national address in these moments, but he has cancelled and gone to see for himself. i wasjust cancelled and gone to see for himself. i was just describing a few moments ago what one of his ministers were saying. but i think you're talking to the cameras. earringr you're talking to the cameras. early in the morning _ you're talking to the cameras. early in the morning i _ you're talking to the cameras. early in the morning i heard _ you're talking to the cameras. ie?"l}' in the morning i heard about this tragic event. we are very saddened as government about the passing of so many people here injohannesburg. this is unprecedented. johannesburg has never had an incident like this, where so many people die as a result of a fire in the centre of the city. this is tragic, this is very sad, and i want to pass my condolences, and i want to pass my condolences, and that of the government to the families of those who have passed on, and those who are still in hospital. i am told that as soon as the fire was reported, in ten minutes the firefighters were year. that is a real good and quick response, which we must recognise on the part of the province, the city, that they have been able to be ready for calamities and events like this. a response of ten minutes when there is such a devastating fire is something that needs to be recognised. the sad part is, as much as they thought they fire, they were not able to save everyone. some people were saved, up to 49, but it is said that we have lost up to 74 people, and some of them children, who must have died very, very tragically. this is the type of death that we never wish on anyone. the aftermath of all this, in terms of the actions that have been taken, i have found to be in line with what we expect. the people were taken to hospitals, those who were still in a state of shock and injury, to the surrounding hospitals. those who have lost their homes or accommodation are going to be catered for. the ministers and the province and the city are working now fill out to make sure that those who need assistance, from accommodation through trauma counselling to hospitalisation, are being looked after. obviously this needs to be investigated. i was talking to the premier earlier, and they are going through the process of setting up an investigation process, which at the city will announce in due course. we have got to go to the bottom of what caused this fire, and also address from now on. it is a wake—up call for us to begin to address the situation of housing in the inner city, that a building like this, which i'm told it used to be a home for abused women and children, once the lease had expired, it was then hijacked. and we need to get on top of this and find effective ways of dealing with problems of accommodation, of housing and services in the inner city. so, the mayor is here, the municipal manager, and members of the mayoral committee, like counsellors... studio: south africa's president there on a scene, describing this as unprecedented, talking about the response, the casualties, the deaths, anna says that the focus now is those in hospital, those left homeless. they will need to investigate the cause of this and it is a wake—up call, he says, to address the situation of housing in inner—city south this is bbc news, the headlines. senior and junior doctors in england say they'll take joint strike action for the first time over pay. more than 100 schools in england are told to close buildings made from a specific type of concrete over concerns they could collapse.
