At least 600 people are still missing after the side of the Sugar Loaf Mountain next to the capital freetown collapsed on monday, it caused floods to engulf the area of regent which is a settlement on the outskirts of the city. We can show you some pictures of the flooding as it happened here, a shocking reminder of what happened on monday. This is the aftermath, a birds eye view which shows you now how widespread the destruction was. This is the continuing attempts to find survivors among the wreckage, aid agencies worry but they are trying to find any survivors. Now today a one minute silence was held in freetown to remember those who lost their homes and families. These are their homes and families. These are the scenes. The president of sierra leone has also declared seven days of national mourning. Here he is at the sight of the mudslide where he pleaded to the rest of the world for urgent support. The un is listening and we got a briefing today from the spokesperson saying they are working with the Rescue Operation and trying to stop the outbreak of diseases like cholera and typhoid. There was meant to be a mass burial of victims today to free up space but this has now been delayed. In freetown the ambulances are rushing not to the hospital but to the main mortuary. They are ferrying the dead, victims buried alive by a landslide. The relatives wait outside to collect their bodies. The stench of death is overpowering. Emotions are raw. Bishi lost her sister. Daniel wasnt home when disaster struck. But he tells me six members of his family are dead, including his wife. They died, they died. The grief and anger is tangible here. This is a nation mourning the loss of hundreds. And Rescue Workers say that authorities are hampering their rescue efforts. This gaping scar was once a neighbourhood, but now the scene of a Recovery Operation on the hoof. Diggers have been drafted in but there are no sniffer dogs, not enough body bags. The fear is disease could spread unless hundreds of bodies are found. A trickle of aid is getting through but many like adama are now homeless. Ive lost everything, she tells me.

A special port from saudi arabia were hundreds of civilians have reportedly fled a town after weeks of fierce clashes between Government Forces and shia militants. The shia dominated town is in the east of the country here and as a majority sunni country here and as a majority sunni country as you may know. So the Shia Community in this particular town has long complained of discrimination, things turned violent in may when the saudi government started relocating people a p pa re ntly government started relocating people apparently to make way for a development project. The government said it is back in control but we wa nted said it is back in control but we wanted to show you what is left of the town. It is practically in ruins and that is the situation, precarious Security Situation. 0ne more picture i want to assure you, that shows what takes place. The bullet marks and pockmarks overhaul of the buildings. We have rare access to this site. This is the level of security needed to visit awamiyah. A shia dominated town in the east of the sunni conservative saudi arabia. 0ver town in the east of the sunni conservative saudi arabia. Over the past weeks there have been violent clashes here between Government Forces and groups of shia fighters. At least dozens were killed including civilians and police troops. 0nly including civilians and police troops. Only very few journalists managed travel here. As you can see, in order to reach awamiyah you have to ta ke in order to reach awamiyah you have to take this armoured vehicle and be in the company of police and special forces. The government says it is in control now by the Security Situation is quite tense. As i look through the window i can see that the town is almost deserted. The scale of devastation here is shocking. As we entered the place of the government ex cop bash mac escort we see what is left of a once vibrant residential area. A large Shia Community used to live here. They have long protested against what they call discrimination. The confrontation to a violent turn last may when the authority started to demolish the area as part of what they see is a development project. Shia groups accuse the government of forcing people to leave with the aim of crushing dissent. But even today the fighting is not over yet. They just asked us to leave and we have to go at once because it is not safe to stay. The saudis say they are also targeted, these videos released by the Ministry Of The Interior show attacks from Police Forces in the area. The minister told us it was terrorist groups have behind the unrest, it accuses them of indiscriminately killing civilians are using them as a human shield. It was impossible to independently verify these accounts inside awamiyah. But i managed to speak to a man who fled this place and is now seeking asylum in germany. We cannot identify him for security reasons. This man insists he personally never took up arms but he can understand why some people dead. When we went out in peaceful protest Security Forces dispersed as with live ammunition. He can be sentenced to death only because you are a shia and you belong to a different religious sect. When youre humiliated and deprived of your freedom you can you canjust a quiet, someone should you you will definitely should back. Lacking awamiyah, fighters are still believed to be hiding among the rubble. But the reasons for the u nrest rubble. But the reasons for the unrest are still very much present. A leading Iranian Opposition figure has been under house arrest for six yea rs has has been under house arrest for six years has begun the hunger strike. He was detained for his part in mass protests over the disputed result of the president ial election back in 2009. I have been talking to our correspondent and asked her to tell us more correspondent and asked her to tell us more about this man. He is an 80 year old shia cleric who has been a politician until seven or eight years ago and then he turned into an Opposition Leader because he was one of the candidates who disputed the results of the president ial elections in 2009 and six and half years ago without any trials be Supreme Leader decided that the other candidates had to go under house arrest because youre asking people to get on the streets and dispute the result. What does it mean to be under house arrest . What links that he has two the insane world 7 basically nothing, it is worse than a prison. His contact with Family Members is limited, he does not have internet access, we have heard he can only watch State Television and he only has very radical newspapers to read. His Family Members, only his children can see him once per week. He does not have time to get out, iam not week. He does not have time to get out, i am not sure whether there is a guard in the house where he is kept. One of the demands he has made on his hunger strike, he said he wa nted on his hunger strike, he said he wanted the Security Officers to leave the house. Because he has police, armed police with him . Exactly, reportedly dead at least 12 Security Officers at any given moment in the same house where he is. He followed if he was at a prison he would have a cell and privacy but under house arrest which is totally illegal, you does not have any of the rights of any other prisoners. He is not saying let me free, he is saying let me go to court . She has made two demands, one is for the Security Officer to leave and stay out of the premises where hes being kept, and the other is that he wa nted being kept, and the other is that he wanted trial. He wants a public trial because for six and half years he has technically been in prison without any trial. And there is something of a sense of urgency here because you have been hearing his health is, well he is vulnerable. He is, only a couple of weeks ago he was taken to hospital. They have to put a pacemaker in his heart. He is 80 years old, he is not that young. He has been in detention for years now. He is not very well and we suspect that he has decided that if hes going to die he is not going to die in silence. He will make a big deal out of this. Do stay with us, still to come, we have the latest on the devastating floods that have killed more than 215 across bangladesh, britains new Aircraft Carrier the hms Queen Elizabeth has sailed into port for the first time. Shes one of the largest and most powerful warships ever built the royal navy. Theresa may health is a symbol of the uks great global status. The royal navy has never had a ship of this size before. Hms Queen Elizabeth overshadowed everything around her. Including portsmouth harbour, now her new home. A day to remember for the crowds who woke up early to see her in. And even a touch of nostalgia for when britain ruled the waves. It is absolutely thrilling. I was so proud with it going by. It is absolutely amazing. I think it makes the country feel a lot safer. It puts you, you know, above everybody else really, doesnt it . For the past seven weeks the 700 crew have been testing her systems. It is the most complex warship ever built in the uk. A symbol of power and pride for the navy. But they believe, for the whole nation too. It puts us, the royal navy and the British Armed forces, right back in the premier league. I think for a global, outward facing country like the united kingdom, as an island nation, completely dependent on sea trade, why wouldnt you want a strong royal navy7 this is a big moment for the royal navy. Its largest Warship Entering Portsmouth for the very first time. It is also its most expensive warship. And it still needs jets, and other warships to protect her. At a time when the Ministry Of Defence is having to save billions of pounds. This former Naval Officer says the navy is already struggling to crewjust 19 frigates and destroyers. Certainly right now there are not enough ships to protect it, there are not enough submarines to run in advance of it. And this is the worry, if we are not even in a situation right now, having delivered the platform itself, to protect the ship, how are we going to actually use it . On her first visit on board, the Prime Minister said the ship sent a signal that britain remains a global power. It will be another year before the first jets fly off this £3 billion ship. The new f 35 will also cost around £100 million each. It is a significant investment and a signal of ambition. But it will stretch already limited resources. Jonathan beale, bbc news, portsmouth.

These of relentless Monsoon Rains across bangladesh and nepal and india have killed more than 250 people. We will show you first the state of North East Anglia North East India and nearly 10 Million People have been affected by flooding there. If we go to nepal the situation there is that the severe rain has affected 20 of the severe rain has affected 20 of the constables are population and then looking at bangladesh that has also been badly hit. There is a map i want to bring up for you now, the areas in red show you the part of the country that are underwater. That is over one third of the country. Some pictures to show you what has been going on, this is one area people wading through floodwaters. Many have had to leave their homes and Alan Woodside shelters, this is nepal where it is mainly the southern lowlands that are affected. But this is bangladesh we re are affected. But this is bangladesh were several rivers have burst their banks. The army has been deployed. He says is an editor for the World Service has been telling me more about how difficult the situation is. The bangladeshi authorities said more than 100 people had been killed due to the floods triggered by the remonstrance. One third of the country under water as you explain to those pictures, it clearly shows how difficult the situation has been. The people have been going through immense hardships. Then areas of 67 metres wide that are flooded. The water passes through india and into bangladesh, which is a low lying country. Most of the houses are inundated with water and people are not willing to move out of their houses for fear that somebody might come and take away the bits. As you saw in the picture, people are sitting inside the houses in needy water trying to get on. They may not get them thinking what, there could be a shortage of food and people are scared and might be and people are scared and might be an outbreak of waterborne diseases. If they were persuaded to go for the health above all work and to . The government has set up quite a few shelters in the northern part of the country, but moving from their homes to these shelters is a struggle because you have to go through various waterways in other bangladesh villagers, and the roads are slightly elevated, and most of the area so low lying survey will have been flooded. They need to find the right road and path in the shelters and it is not clear that they will get enough food or belief material in the shelters even though the government has been trying to dispatch, many areas are not easily reachable. Two years ago in chile the remains of this Mysterious Dinosaur were found. They claim to be frank and staying dinosaur because it had the hips and teeth of a plant eater likes tennis the close and body of a Carnival Heater likes the disorders but the close and body of another scrap tour t rex. We may now have a solution to the mystery. In the mountains of chile, researchers discover a dinosaur, the like of which has never been seen before. Back in their lab in buenos aires, they carefully cut through the sandstone to find a bizarre skeleton. They named their dinosaur chilesaurus. This animal had a real mix of features from different groups of dinosaurs. Its hip bones were like those of plant eaters such as the stegosaurus. And its arms and body were like those of meat eaters such as the tyrannosaurus rex. And so, chilesaurus became known as the Frankenstein Dinosaur. But now a british researcher who studied the skeleton believes he has solved the mystery. Chilesaurus has been revealed to be the missing link between one group of dinosaurs, which includes things like stegosaurus and triceratops, and another group of dinosaurs which includes things like tyrannosaurus rex. It really is the missing piece of the puzzle. Tyrannosaurus rex and stegosaurus were thought to be in different branches of the dinosaur family tree. But the researchers have shown that they are both in the same branch. The Frankenstein Dinosaur now fits in perfectly, as an earlier animal that came before them, which is why its skeleton is a mixture of both. This reassessment is important, because it will radically change the theory of how dinosaurs evolved and split into different groups. Chilesaurus is there at the beginning of one of these big splits. And hopefully, by understanding more about its biology, it will tell us what the kinds of Driving Factors leading to those big splits might have been. The Frankenstein Skeleton was once a puzzle, but now it could be the key to explain how dinosaurs evolved. Pallab ghosh, bbc news.

We have seen a fair bit of sunshine for the first part of the week, perhaps more rain to come during the second half of this week. By the end of the weekend some tropical air thrown into the mix. The rain will clear the way from southern Eastern England and then the cloud breaks up another one suddenly get some sunshine and trigger showers in southern england and wales and the midlands. Northern england and safety scotland stay dry and sunny, it will feel warmer here as well before were back into some showers over Western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Highs of 23 degrees at best. Showers continue into the evening and then overnight we see the show is getting more organised and had a spell of much heavier rain across Northern Ireland, moving into Northern England and scotland as well. Further south clear skies but nowhere particularly cold, barely room for Northern England and in scotland, had moved towards a Northern Isles and then it is sunshine and heavy showers for a while before we get another dose of rain moving rapidly across Northern Ireland and into the irish sea later in the afternoon. Wonder of sunshine in between the showers, temperatures will be laura on friday. 21 in london, only 15 degrees in glasgow. Over the weekend we see more sunshine at times before the first Pa Rt Sunshine at times before the first part of the weekend windy and showers before we get a spell of rain in the latter part of the weekend. Lastly showers coming around this area of low pressure, we see some isobars on the chart has little been quite a windy day from many others. Not so bad in the south that it might be dry with decent sunshine at further north we catch a few showers and more persistent rain on the far north. Then as he moved to the second half of the weekend, the rain will come courtesy of how they can get. That is on the other side of the atlantic, and it will not be looking as a hurricane as it heads towards our shores but what well do is combine with irregular area of low pressure that we have across the eastern side of canada and the two will spin and chased the way across the atlantic towards the uk bringing a lot of cloud, taking the wind up a bit and bringing uk bringing a lot of cloud, taking the wind up a bitand bringing rain, two and it is the rain that could be quite heavy but were not quite sure when it will land. It looks like another pilot initially and then Spilling Northwards and eastwards and perhaps the South East England later on in the day. What is less of that tropical air and hiking gear at all tied in with this low pressure and will still be around on monday saw more persistent rain moving across scotland, perhaps into Northern Ireland and showy bursts of rain but struggling to clear the south east corner. A messy day on monday. We were headed to the early pa rt monday. We were headed to the early part of next week and start the area of low pressure, it does move away and there is High Pressure in the land it working towards us. For a while we see a cool north and north westerly airflow before the High Pressure buildings. Then perhaps that on into the week the High Pressure get squeezed further south, allowing low pressure coming back through the atlantic and steered towards a north west of the uk. What does that mean . It means it will settle down from while, next week perhaps we see more sunshine but has the high get squeezed to the south should the areas of low pressure which bring strong wind at times and perhaps rain, too. Concerns about how long the high will last, stay tuned. Tonight at 10 the government wants business as usual on the irish border, after britain leaves the eu.
