the prime minister has said the government will ban the american xl bully dog by the end of the year. the breed has been blamed for a series of attacks on people in recent years. rishi sunak�*s announcement comes after the death of a man in staffordshire yesterday who was set upon by two dogs — thought to be of the bully breed. a 30—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter. phil mackie reports. another victim of the american bully xl. ian price, a 52—year—old local businessman, who was killed outside his home last night. this was the aftermath of the attack, which involved two dogs. although neighbours did their best to pull them off, his injuries were so severe he couldn't be saved. we heard police cars and sirens and thought... then another one, then another one. and then i came to the gate to have a look, and, you know... there was, like, ten, 12 police vehicles. for a while there was concern more people could be hurt. it happened just after children had been let out of the village primary school. we were notified about 3:25 by the police that there had been an incident on main street, and a text was immediately sent out to all parents to advise that they were to bring their children and selves back to the school site. where the police car is is where the man was fatally attacked. and it's thought that the dogs belonged to somebody who lived in one of the houses there. locals have told us that the same animals were involved in another incident back in march in which a woman walking her pet dog was chased inside one of those shops there. when looking at the number of people killed by dogs, in 2021, there were five deaths in england and wales. last year that numberjumped to ten. and so far this year, six deaths have been caused by dog attacks, including the one last night. the bully xl is also responsible for 22% of all reported non—fatal attacks since the start of the year. the latest fatality comes five days after an 11—year—old girl and the men who tried to help her were attacked by another american bully xl in birmingham. and now the prime minister says they need to be banned. i've asked ministers to convene a group together, including the police and experts in this field so that they can firstly define the breed and then using the powers under the dangerous dogs act, we will ban this breed with new laws in place by the end of the year. the government bill will force owners of pit bull terriers to register their dogs... we've been here before in 1991, when the dangerous dogs act was introduced. vicious and widely reported attacks by pit bull terriers. but there have always been arguments that breeds specific bans are hard to enforce. that won't matter to relatives of the victims who've lost their lives to the bully xl, and to the family who are grieving tonight for ian price. phil mackey, bbc news, staffordshire. so how does the process of banning a dog work? our correspondent frances read is here to explain. the american xl bully isn't currently banned, and at the moment, it's unclear what the exact rules would be if a ban came in. in fact, only four breeds in the uk are banned under the 1991 dangerous dogs act. they are the pit bull terrier, the japanese tosa, tosa, the dogo argentino and the fila brasileiro. so how does banning a dog work in practice? well, the prime minister says that xl bullies need to be defined as a breed before they can be banned under the dangerous dogs act. neither the international canine federation, nor the kennel club have recognised or accepted the american bully into their registry as a purebred dog. so what would the punishment be for owning one? the police or the local council can take a dog away for investigation and decide whether it could be a danger to the public. in some circumstances — or where there's already been a serious offence — the dog could be destroyed. owners found to commit serious offences could be fined, or even face prison for up to 1a years, if a person was killed by a dog. but the kennel club says breed—specific legislation ignores the most important factors that contribute to biting incidents — which is anti—social behaviour by irresponsible dog owners. and there are some exemptions. if it's decided that your dog isn't a danger to the public then you might be able to keep it under certain conditions, such as having insurance and keeping it on a lead with a muzzle at all times in public. reeta. thank you, frances. the united nations says nearly 900,000 people need help as a result of the devastating flooding in eastern libya. its emergency relief co—ordinator is making £57 million available for clean water, food and other aid — after two dams burst, sending torrents of water and mud through the coastal city of derna. 0ur correspondent anna foster is in derna for us this evening. in many ways it's hard to find the words to describe the devastation that has been wrote on this city. even the pictures you can see don't do justice to the huge swathe of land that has been ripped away behind me, that stretches all the way from the mountains down to the sea and that has widened what used to be a small river into a great gulf where the earth has been pulled away and taken out to sea along with thousands of people who were asleep in apartments that lined this river. you can see how dark it is, how desolate it is. and again, it gives you an idea of the difficulties that are facing recovery teams here tonight. there is no electricity, there is no health care here in derna, there is little clean water. and as people move around this city they see uprooted trees, they see cars that have been thrown into buildings. it's a seed many have described as apocalyptic. my colleague quentin sommerville reports on the situation across libya. the roads became rivers in the rivers became a delusion. carrying everything with it and bringing with it a wave of death and destruction. —— became a second back. this security footage is from the moment the floods hit and derna was changed forever. dams upstream meant to protect the city failed, sealing the fate of thousands. in derna people began to pray for god's mercy. when the torrent passed somewhere able to escape. as the rains continued to fall, they sought the safety of rooftops. if you could imagine the scale of the catastrophe. down below, the force of the torrent swept much in its wake. those who could make their escape to higher ground. and now the aftermath. a turkish rescue team wades through pools of destruction in search of what remains. the mud and filth makes the work slow and dangerous, and the risk of disease is growing. 0ur feelings toward the city is very difficult to describe, to be honest with you. we lost friends, relatives and a big portion of derna society. but for the time being, we appreciate how people stood with us. hopefully we will have a better future. , ., ., ~ ., ., future.

it hit the wall and destroyed everything around it. he is one of more than 30,000 people requiring shelter. libya's eastern government failed to protect them from this disaster. now, in their greatest hour of need, they are struggling to cope with the aftermath. quentin sommerville, bbc news. even in the blackness here tonight, people are still attempting to do their work. there are small patches of floodlights and you can see small dots, small points of light, as people move around still with their dogs, people working in a white forensic suits. there is still a search for survivors but no, really, you get the sense people are not expecting to find anybody alive in this devastated city. in terms of aid, the survivors that are here, that are sitting around in these dark buildings tonight, that have in many cases no tents, no homes, no medical care, no clean water, there's very little aid that has arrived. on the journey here towards derna today there was no international aid trucks you might see, none of those logos that are so recognisable. instead this was local libyans with pick—up trucks filled with mattresses, filled with water. even as we entered the city of derna tonight, the libyan national army members were handing out facemasks to try to combat some of the dust and smell that exists here this city. this is still an unfolding tragedy, and unfolding disaster, and one that people here are struggling desperately to cope with. they do not have, as yet, they help that they need. thank you very much. our correspondent anna foster reporting live from derna. the uk's biggest steelworks, port talbot in south wales, will receive up to £500 million from the government in a bid to produce steel in a greener way. but the change could mean the loss of around 3,000 jobs, with

death of a child. urfan sharif, beinash batool, and faisal malik denied the charges against them and were remanded in custody. ten—year—old sara was found dead at her family's home in woking on 10th august. our home affairs correspondent daniel sandford reports. less than two days after flying back to the uk, the three people accused of murdering ten—year—old sara sharif were brought to court for a hearing that lasted 20 minutes. sara's stepmother, beinash batool — wearing black — her uncle, faisal malik, and herfather, urfan sharif, on the right, are all charged with her murder on the day before they flew to pakistan, and also causing or allowing the death of a child. sara was discovered dead at her home in woking more than five weeks ago in the early hours of thursday the 10th of august. officers are still working at the house. the prosecutor, amanda burrows, said that when police found sara sharif, she was in an upstairs bedroom. she was in the centre of the bottom bunk of a bunk bed lying face up, covered by a blanket. sara's mother and grandmother laid flowers at the house last month. detectives have kept them informed about the progress of the investigation. five weeks on, it still hasn't been possible to establish the actual cause of sara's death. detectives have said she had multiple and extensive injuries. herfather, stepmother, and uncle had flown out of the uk on the day before she was found. that was on the 9th of august. they travelled to islamabad with sara's five siblings. the group arrived in pakistan the next day, the same day that surrey police found sara's body in woking. five days later, pakistan got a request from interpol, but were unable to locate the family. on wednesday, sara's father, his wife and brother left pakistan to return to the uk. they arrived back that evening, landing at gatwick airport just before 7.30. they were taken off the plane by police officers and were arrested 15 minutes later before being driven back to surrey. this afternoon, the three were taken from court to prison, and they will next appear at the old bailey on tuesday. daniel sandford, bbc news, at guildford magistrates. the time is 6.17. our top story this evening — the prime minister promises to ban the american bully xl dog after a man is killed after being attacked by two dogs, thought to be bullies, in staffordshire. and coming up — we'll be looking at the most spotted butterflies over the past year. coming up on sportsday in the next 15 minutes on bbc news — everton are set to have new owners. that's after farhad moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake to a us investment firm. wales will become the first uk nation to set a default speed limit of 20mph in built—up areas, when new rules come into force on sunday. the commons leader penny mordaunt described the move as punishing drivers, saying it would damage the economy and cost drivers money, but the welsh government insisted it would save lives. our correspondent hywel griffith reports. as a gardener, nathan is used to cutting down and applying some caution. driving between 25jobs a day, he says the new 20mph limit on residential roads will slow his team down, losing both time and money. i've done rough maths, and it's ten grand. if i spend an extra two hours a week travelling, over a year, it's ten grand. it's as simple as that. and how does that make you feel? i feel like my day is going to be a lot longer. there's no dispute that the slowdown to 20mph will have an economic impact. the welsh government's own analysis suggests that, spread over 30 years, the bill for businesses in wales will be £1.6 billion. even bigger is the cost to commuters and leisure travellers, at £4.7 billion. in total, again spread over 30 years, the cost is expected to be £6.3 billion, massively outweighing any economic benefits. the first minister insists adding a few minutes a day to everyone's travel time is a price worth paying. it's a small contribution to make, that five minutes, isn't it? when you know what you are doing and other people are doing will be keeping other people from losing their lives. so to those couriers and those carers, "sorry, it'lljust take longer." i think, as i say, they will find that it is marginal. limiting speed has always got some people revved up. back in 1966, there were protests against introducing the 70mph restriction. well, because i think it's stupid. very stupid. what's stupid about going at a safe speed? well, it depends on who's driving the car, whether the speed is safe or not, doesn't it? different speeds can change how long it takes to both spot a hazard and actually stop. at 20mph, a car would travel a total of 12 metres before coming to a halt. but at 30mph, both thinking and braking take longer. the car would need 23 metres to stop. the risk of dying after being hit by a car at 30mph is five times greater than at 20. for rebecca, it's about confidence. her village trialled the 20mph limit and saw a change in family life. we're always out walking, cycling. _ and the children are always playing together. and not only has it made a difference to the noise level, but a difference to how we feel as parents, i think. it's a lot safer. scotland is set to follow wales on 20mph limits, some parts of london too. but a tory cabinet minister has put the brakes on a uk—wide change, calling the idea "insane." hywel griffith, bbc news. lucy letby, the former nurse convicted of murdering seven babies, and attempting to murder another six, has lodged an appeal against her convictions. our north of england correspondentjudith moritz has the latest for us. you'll remember that last month, when she was sentenced, lucy letby refused to turn up for that hero, the judge refused to turn up for that hero, thejudge said refused to turn up for that hero, the judge said that she has shown malevolence bordering on sadism, and she became only the fourth woman in british legal history it to be given a whole life sentence. well, the jury a whole life sentence. well, the jury were unable to make a decision on a further six charges of attempted murder, and we note that in ten days' time, the crown prosecution service will announce whether or not it intends to pursue a retrial on those charges. but in the meantime donate has brought news that lucy letby�*s defence team have launched appeal papers with the criminal division of the court of appeal —— tonight has brought news. before any appeal can be mounted, she has to seek permission from the judge. we have no information about the likely timetable. meanwhile, we know that cheshire police continue to investigate cases of other babies who lucy letby came into contact with during her career as a nurse, and further to that and away from the criminal process, the announcement of course that there will be a public inquiry which will examine not only letby�*s crimes but also the circumstances surrounding them and the way doctors' concerns were dealt with at the hospital in chester. so a long way to go yet with this, but today the news that the letby defence team are going to seek leave to appeal. fik. the letby defence team are going to seek leave to appeal.— the letby defence team are going to seek leave to appeal. 0k. thank you, judith. now a look at some other stories making the news today. train drivers in the aslef union have announced further strike dates in their long—running dispute about pay. they'll walk out on the 30th of september and on the 4th of october, coinciding with the annual conservative party conference in manchester. spain's high court has imposed a restraining order on the former head of the country's football federation, luis rubiales. he's now not allowed within 200 metres of the strikerjenni hermoso, after kissing her on the lips following the women's world cup final, an act she says was without her consent. but the top spanish women players are continuing their boycott of the national team, demanding more changes in the sport's leadership. tiktok has been fined almost 350 million euros by the eu for child data breaches. an investigation found that children's accounts were set to public by default. the social media platform says it disagrees with the decision and has since introduced privacy changes. everton football club is set to have new owners, after farhad moshiri agreed to sell his 94% stake in the club to a miami—based investment fund. the takeover will mean almost half of the 20 premier league clubs are american—owned. our sports correspondent jane dougall is at everton�*s goodison park for us. jane, what will be the impact? many everton fans will be pleased to see the departure of current and up farhad moshiri from one of england's oldest clubs, because despite investing £750 million in the club, it has been a to not trust time on the pitch, where they have narrowly avoided relegation two seasons in a row, and off the pitch, where they are in financial strain are largely due to a new stadium being built. farhad moshiri said that investing in football clubs have changed immeasurably and the days of the benefactor are out of reach for most. he has agreed to a provisional sale to this american investment firm, estimated to be worth around £8 billion. they already own around seven other football clubs around europe, and that could prove to be a problem if everton managed to qualify for any european competitions in the future. they will have to pass the premier league's owners and directors test, but if they do, everton will be the tenth premier league club with a us majority owner. the firm says they are investing for the long game, but some fans have criticised their methods of running football clubs, and this evening, the everton fans advisory board say they are calling for an urgent meeting with the club. thank you, jane. who doesn't brighten up at the sight of a butterfly? well, it's been a bumper year for them, with the average number spotted at its highest for four years. the results of the latest big butterfly count suggest the wet summer was good for the insects, although the long—term picture shows a significant decline since the count began 13 years ago. the most—seen species was the red admiral, with an increase of 338% on last year's count. the second most—seen species, gatekeepers, was up 12%. but the count did find a decline in several species, including the speckled wood, now, this might look like an ordinary music lesson, but it's part of what's being seen as a watershed moment for music education. shireland cbso academy in west bromwich has been set up in collaboration with the city of birmingham symphony orchestra, with music embedded in the curriculum. it comes at a time when the take up of music gcse and a level has fallen by nearly 50% over the last 15 years in england. our culture editor katie razzall was given an exclusive tour of the academy soon after it opened. a workshop by professional musicians for year sevens in west bromwich. it's entertaining, a way of learning life skills like teamwork through music. and what's happening at shireland cbso is a uk first. this new school has opened in partnership with a world class orchestra — the city of birmingham symphony orchestra. i love music, and it's one of my favorite things in the whole entire world to do. i'm not really that type of music guy, but i really enjoy doing music lessons and that stuff. what's going to happen to the sound of this instrument? what i always hope for is just to think about aspiration - in young people. what do you really want - and how can you achieve it? and whatever that is, whether that's "i want to be an astronaut, - but i need to learn team building skills and i need to learn - creativity and i need to learn resilience,"j you can learn all those things through music. and then they're utterly transferable, then, - into being a politician - or an astronaut or a teacher or whatever it is you want to be. this state school sits in one of the most deprived boroughs in england, and there's real excitement here about the opportunities it could offer. we're a completely normal school, as you can see. we're in a science lab. we have french, art, maths, all the things you'd expect to see. but, of course, we have this real special partnership with the cbso, which is giving these students a level of musical opportunities they just wouldn't get. the expectation is that all students at shireland cbso will study gcse music, which has seen a dramatic fall in recent years. in england, fewer than 30,000 took the gcse this summer, down 45% since 2008. under 5,000 took music a—level, down nearly 48%. there's pretty much a crisis in music education in schools. there's not the funding, there's not the skill set, there's not the time made to study music. and this school is here to try and buck that trend and prove what an amazing part of a young person's education music can be. excellent. so you are reading rhythms within a graphic score. music is embedded into the curriculum here, while studying sherlock holmes and the morse code. this partnership between the school and the cbso is about widening the talent pipeline to reflect diversity in britain and showcase other opportunities in the creative arts. with access to the likes of the cbso's new chief conductor, this school could be a trailblazer. katie razzall, bbc news, west bromwich. time for a look at the weather. here's chris fawkes. sunshine for large parts of england and wales today, and very warm as well and greater london, underneath a sunny skies and temperatures reaching 27 celsius, the early 80s in fahrenheit. but you can look further north, the weather did not look like that, did it? for northern ireland, good parts of scotland, the far north of england, stuck underneath a band of rain, it was notjust underneath a band of rain, it was not just wet but also a underneath a band of rain, it was notjust wet but also a lot cooler than yesterday, temperatures down around four or five degrees celsius. that weather front will be with us overnight tonight as well, still across scotland and northern ireland, it will certainly push southward through the night, the rain turning a little light and patch as it does so. might see some rain across parts of wales and south—west england as well, before the midlands, east anglia, south—west england, a dry night, temperatures for most holding up into double figures. tomorrow starts with the same weather front still bring in bits and pieces of rain across parts of scotland, mid eastern counties of northern ireland, wales and the south—west could see a bit of rain, too. across the bulk of the midlands, east anglia and southern england, a dry day, and again very warm, temperatures high across the east, the cooler and fresher air quite widely for scotland and northern ireland and northern england. further changes on the forecast into sunday, a band of thundery rain extending up from the south, the amount of rain we get from place to place within it a lot, however it could be heavy enough to bring some localised surface water flooding. at the same time, we will probably start to see the weather turning a little brighter for part of scotland and parts of north—east england as well. beyond that come into next week, we
