to the former british ambassador. an enemy's enemy, is my friend. kim meets putin in russia. what help is moscow extending to north korea in return for much needed munitions? and we will speak to the un's special rappateur on torture about her latest trip to ukraine. a good evening. big development this evening in a police investigation here in the uk, into the death of ten—year—old sara sharif, whose body was found at the family home in woking, surrey, five weeks ago. herfather, his wife and his brother — who left the country for pakistan before sara's death was reported — are now back in the uk, having flown in just minutes ago. urfan sharif, beinash batool and faisal malik were not arrested as they boarded a plane in pakistan for dubai. the authorities in pakistan say they travelled of their own free will. we can show you are a live picture of police headquarters in sara where we are expecting, these are live tracking pictures of the police at gatwick airport that met that flight this evening. we are expecting a press conference at surrey police headquarters shortly. let'sjoin press conference at surrey police headquarters shortly. let's join our correspondent who was at the screen for us this evening. just bring us up for us this evening. just bring us up to speed with the events in the last few minutes because this plane has come in from dubai, what happened on the runway? what do you know of the development so far? their arrival will be of huge importance to surrey detectives because remember, this comes after an international search for these three individuals. pakistani police are now saying they three have arrived of their own free will. these three individuals were all living with sara and left the country only a day before sara's body was found. a body that postmortem results found had sustained multiple and extensive injuries and so of course they are going to be a lot of questions for the three of them. there is also the question of why they have returned now? the last we heard of them was in a video statement last week from beinash batool, sara's stepmother, as well as her father, beinash batool, sara's stepmother, as well as herfather, urfan beinash batool, sara's stepmother, as well as her father, urfan sharif. beinash batool said the two of them at the time were in hiding in pakistan because they feared pakistani police me torture or kill them and they said their family members were being harassed, all allegations the pakistani police have denied.— allegations the pakistani police have denied. ~ ., ., ~ ., ., have

sara's, aged between one and 13 years old, have been through a real ordeal. according to their grandfather, they arrived in pakistan with their father, stepmother and uncle. the grandfather said the children should stay with him and that is when they were found by police. even though the grandfather requested they stay with them, these children had to then go to court, that in itself would have been an ordeal, they arrived in a police car with blackened windows. they were carried into court, the youngest ones was surrounded by armed police as well as local media and eventually the ruling was they had to stay in a government care facility. for how long and where they will ultimately end up, that wasn't said but surrey authorities have said they are in close contact to understand next steps. i close contact to understand next ste s. ., steps. i did hear the interview with the grandfather _ steps. i did hear the interview with the grandfather and _ steps. i did hear the interview

that video statement from last week. one would imagine if they are talking about their fears that pakistani police may treat them badly, they talked about, beinash batool talked about torture, the fear they may kill them, allegations of having been harassed, again all allegations police have denied, but you would imagine those fears may be part of the reason they decided to come back of their

police vans returning to surrey police headquarters. we would anticipate the family are in those man's having been arrested on their return. let's show you the pictures from surrey headquarters. we are expecting a statement from detectives in the next few minutes and of course we will bring you that statement live as and when he appears. the ancient port city of derna is unique among libyan cities. it sits on the north east coast of libya, in a green valley between the akhdar mountains. most of the city was built along the wadi derna, a river that is dry for much of the year. upstream are the al bilad and abu mansur dams, built by the former yugoslavia in the 70s, to protect the city from flooding. but on sunday night, over seven inches or 18 centimetres of rain was dumped by storm daniel in just a few hours. it started a cascading flood. first the upper dam burst, sending millions of cubic metres of water down the channel to the second, overwhelming the lower dam which sits barely a kilometre from the city. in short order, the entire contents of the two dams was crashing through the city centre. the before and after pictures are truly devestating. the red cross thinks at least 10,000 people are missing, may be 20,000 people are missing, many of them washed out to sea. peter millett served as the british ambassador to libya between 2015 and 2018. good of you to join

is a strong sense of solidarity among the libyans that i have spoken to from the west, east, south. they are shocked to disbelief about what they are seeing just as everybody is and they want as citizens to contribute to the relief effort. unfortunately the two competing authorities probably lack the capacity unlike the political will to work together. there should a joint operations room liaising with united nations, the international community and coordinating the relief effort, and the latest news of them not working together, i had to say it's not surprising but is disappointing. it's remarkable this country is in such a mess when you think of the deposits of oil and gas that are there but in some respects, the west bear some responsibility for some of that in the way we left the country after the war. how willing do you think some of the western governments will be to supply aid and how dangerous would it be for the international aid agencies going in? i the international

perception that after the 2011, the west another other is just abandon libya. that's not the case. there were many programmes trying to assist and modernise. the legacy of 42 years of gaddafi simply meant there is a lack of institutions, a lack of investment in infrastructure, a lack of investing infrastructure, a lack of investing in the capacity of institutions and people and ngos and so forth,

connection with this investigation at gatwick airport. two men aged 41 years and 28 years and a woman aged 29 years were arrested on suspicion of murder after disembarking a flight from dubai. they are currently in custody and will be interviewed in due course. sara's mother has been informed of this latest update and is being supported by specialist officers. ourthoughts is being supported by specialist officers. our thoughts remain with her and those affected by sara's death at this difficult time. this has been an extremely fast moving, challenging and complex inquiry and we remain

apologies. but he has just appeared after transferring the family from gatwick airport earlier this evening. we can show you some of the pictures of the fans as they made their way back from the airport back to surrey police headquarters. as you just heard, all three people have been arrested, that is sara's father, her uncle and her stepmother, all of them being interviewed on suspicion of murder. a thorough investigation will now continue and of course detective superintendent chapman extending his best wishes and condolences to sara's mother who they are keeping fully informed. we learned earlier today that the family were coming back, a bit of a surprise because there's been a lot of focus on where they had gone in pakistan. it emerged that because of the pressure that they have been under, some of it coming from the family, they have come back of their own free will. they flew from pakistan to dubai. they flew from pakistan to dubai. they were not arrested by pakistan police and then they boarded a connecting flight from dubai back to gatwick airport today. they will now be interviewed under caution on suspicion of murder. let's speak to our correspondence about this. looking at the live pictures of the fans back to surrey police headquarters. is there any more information you could glean as to why they came back today? it's to why they came back today? it's not clear. to why they came back today? it�*s not clear. we do know they came of their own free will. despite the fact we are looking at these pictures, this looks like it has been an orderly process. they flew to gatwick, pakistani police say this was their decision and we are seeing these authorities drive them in an orderly way. this wasn't an easy process, it's been more than five weeks since there was an international search for these three individuals, pakistani police were searching for them as was interpol. and yet all we heard from them was in that video statement from last week were urfan sharif, sara's father, and beinash batool, her stepmother, appeared and said they were concerned about their situation in pakistan. a lot of that video statement focused on the harassment they allege was directed towards their family members they allege was directed towards theirfamily members by pakistani police as well as their own fears for their personal safety. they feared police would torture or kill them. pakistani police has denied that, so we may see this as now as the beginning of a thorough process. the fact that they have wanted this to be a thorough investigation but this has been a very complex process. this has been a very complex rocess. �* , ., ., this has been a very complex rocess. �*, ., ., , . . . process. let's go to graham satchell in guildford- — process.

weeks. it's five weeks tomorrow that sara's body was found in woking. there has been extensive cooperation between the british police and the pakistani authorities to try and track down sara's father, stepmother and uncle. it has been entirely of their own volition that they came back this morning. they were not found, they were not arrested and as you say, there are a lot of questions about why now. what we do know is that the three of them were arrested from that flight that arrived at 7:45pm at gatwick and we have been watching the live pictures of police vans on the live pictures of police vans on the runway. the three of them taken into custody and we have had itjust confirmed as you heard a few moments ago that all three have now been arrested on suspicion of murder. he also told us that, there's a slightly complicated family setup here which is that sara's father, urfan sharif, has remarried beinash batool. sara's birth mother has been kept informed of every part of this inquiry and is being supported by officers and the police here say thoughts remain with her. the three adults are in custody and they will be questioned as the night goes on. no suggestion, not that we know at this point, that the police were in contact with the family before they got on this flight?— got on this flight? when you say famil , got on this flight? when you say family. this _ got on

pakistan. they also questioned urfan sharif's two brothers for a considerable period of time and we understand raided a number of properties in and around jhelum which is the family home in pakistan. pakistan authorities were in contact with the family about as far as we are aware, we have yet to have this confirmed, neither the british authorities nor the pakistani authorities ever caught up with urfan sharif, beinash batool or faisal malik. we have never been told that an one would imagine had the police authorities in pakistan found them, they would have been taken in for questioning. so we can assume they were not ever found. we don't know why they came back at this moment but it is interesting that the children, there are five children in pakistan, they were taken into care in pakistan yesterday. there was a court hearing and there is a question now as to what happened to those children now, aged between one and 13. surrey social services have always said it is their first priority that they are looked after properly and it will be interesting to see where those children end up.- those children end up. graham satchell, thank _ those children end up. graham satchell, thank you _

you are looking at pictures that were recorded from the last hour of the family being transferred to guildford, to surrey police headquarters and we have heard all three of them who were under arrest are being investigated on suspicion of murder. we will go to a short break but when we come back, we will hear from the special rapporteur to ukraine on torture. to stay with us. hello there. the weather was a lot drier today across england and wales with more in the way of sunshine. it's felt quite fresh in the sunshine, not particularly humid there, and this was flamborough head with those sunny spells overhead. but further north and west, we had much thicker cloud in western scotland, with rain arriving in argyll and bute through the afternoon. things starting to turn a little bit misty, as well, and that rain is all associated with this developing low pressure. it's going to be bringing some wet and windy weather overnight, particularly to the northwest. so, some strong winds working into scotland — gates for a time here as a band of rain clears through, followed by some heavy showers. northern ireland becomes drier, but again, there could be 1—2 showers here and there. rain sinks southwards across northern england, north wales and into the north midlands by the end of the night. this is going to be a relatively mild night compared with last night — temperatures 11—13 celsius. now, this weather front's going to become very slow—moving tomorrow, so if you start off with rain, chances are it will still be raining into the afternoon. so, that's across parts of wales, the midlands, maybe northern england and lincolnshire, as well. the rain will turn a bit lighter and patchier at times. further north, sunshine and showers, still with some gales affecting northern areas of scotland. the weather turning quite humid with some warm sunshine across parts of east anglia and southern counties of england. now, heading through thursday night and into friday, that weatherfront is going to change its mind and start pushing back northwards to the south of our fronts we get southerly winds, and so it's going to start to get quite a bit warmer. across scotland and northern ireland, well, not very warm, particularly with that thick cloud and the rain on the way. so, for friday, rain turning quite heavy for a time in northern ireland, the rain crossing northern england moving back into southern and then central scotland. the far north, though, still having a day of sunshine and showers. england and wales, few mist and fog patches possible, but otherwise, we've got some warm spells of sunshine starting to feel a bit more humid with temperatures climbing 20—25. warm in the sun, scotland and northern ireland, temperatures below par for the time of year. now, into the weekend, an area of low pressure develops to our south. this could bring some severe thunderstorms to parts of iberia and western france. for us, it's a question mark about how far those fronts will push. i think certainly this weekend, there will be some rain around at times across the south of both england and wales. but there's a question mark about how much, if any, you'll see further north. hello, i'm christian fraser. you're watching the context on bbc news. the us senate is holding a private meeting today with some of the biggest names in tech, as congress tries to get ahead of the advances in artificial intelligence. we will get into plenty of that in the next half hour. sport now, and for a full round—up, from the bbc sport centre, here's marc edwards. hello, and we're going to start with cricket, where it's been another record—breaking day for ben stokes. the all—rounder smashing his way into the history books with the highest score by an england batter in a one—day international, as he hammered a brutal 182 in the third odi against new zealand at the oval. stokes had only come out of one—day retirement to play in this series and the world cup in india next month. and what a reminder of what the test captain brings to the shorter form of the game — nine sixes and 15 fours in his 124—ball innings. and that fabulous batting performance laying the foundations for a huge win. england all out for 368 before skittling the kiwis forjust 187 runs. the 181—run winning margin is the eighth highest
