bronwen maddox, director and chief executive of chatham house, and miles taylor, formerly chief of staff at the us department of homeland security. we will get their thoughts on the meeting today between president putin and kim jung un. and those calls today for a re—evaluation of the uk's relationship with beijing, which follows new allegations of potential spying by china in westminster. we will focus on libya very shortly. but first, there's been a big development this evening in a police investigation, here in the uk, into the death of 10 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. 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. but when they landed in the uk, all three of them were arrested on suspicion of murder. a short time ago surrey police made a brief statement to the media. take a listen. our investigation into the death of ten—year—old sara sharif was launched following the discovery of her body at her home address in woking on the 10th of august. this evening, around 7:45 pm, three people were arrested in 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. 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 absolutely committed to conducting a thorough investigation into sara's death. we will not be commenting any further at this point and will provide further updates as and when we are able to do so. that's the statement from detective superintendent mark chapman at surrey police headquarters in guildford. we know all three of those wanted, sara's father, her uncle and stepmother came back of their own free will. some suggesting there was pressure within the family to do that but it seems no indication until they got on that flight that they were coming home. lots on focus in the pakistani media, perhaps they decided they could not avoid going back to the uk. all three of them arrested on suspicion of murder. they will be interviewed further. it is perhaps a reflection ofjust how isolated and unstable libya has become that it has taken us nearly two days to learn the true scale of the disaster in derna. a cascading flood from one failed dam to another, that channelled a wall of water down the valley. a reverse tsunami that crashed into the sea, taking at least 10,000 people with it. the victims who have been found, are now being buried in mass graves, but so many have been washed out to sea. the urgently needed relief has started to arrive, but rescue efforts have been hampered by the political situation, with the country split between two rival governments. and remember that in morocco, the international aid agencies were already grapplig with the aftermath of an earthquake that killed nearly 3,000 people. in the first hour of the programme tonight, we heard from dr najib tarhoni, a doctor working in benghazi, in the nearest large hospital to derna. things are even worse right now because more bodies are coming, more corpses are being identified. people who were identified as missing are now identified as dead. there are an estimated 15,000 missing and most of them are soon to be dead because the flood is like a reverse tsunami, that's literally what happened, because the flooding has taken away notjust people, it took away buildings that held tens of people because you can see... how libyan families are formed, they are notjust nuclear families. no, one house carries a lot of people, grandchildren, grandparents, sons. a lot of houses contain at least ten to 15 people and these houses were carried away by the flood. the country, the city is facing a lot of devastating problems not just from the flood but also from the speed of the flood, where it carried away people to the sea. a lot of women are assumed dead because most women cannot swim, especially in this type of city. the death numbers are expected to exceed 20,000. bronwen maddox, director and chief executive i have been to derna during the war in libya. it's a peculiar place, it sits in this mountain valley and the river flows down to the sea. you can imagine how this wall of water was channelled through the city centre. it's an extraordinary thing that has happened. the trouble is the international aid efforts need to governments talking to each other and at the moment that doesn't seem to be happening. and at the moment that doesn't seem to be happening-— to be happening. these are extraordinary _ to be happening. these are extraordinary numbers - to be

are describing it, as the pictures show, this is an extraordinary phenomenon of the failure of two dams upstream which let this huge volume of water crashed down on this town which is right in a cleft between these dams with the water behind them and the sea. these are horrendous pictures. this happened in minutes. what sea. these are horrendous pictures. this happened in minutes.— this happened in

colonel gaddafi back in 2011 but then it emerged this divided country with the uk and others are backing one part of the country and a government that disagrees with that holding the other half. 0ne that disagrees with that holding the other half. one of the things that has happened or in fact not happened is investment and caretaking of things like dams. a lot of warnings about this that these dams needed a lot of maintenance but in the disarray and lack of communication between the part that is recognised by the international community and the part that isn't, this has got neglected and as you were describing, some of the problem is in coordinating aid. i'm not quite as pessimistic as you first describe, aid is now getting through, everyone recognises this is a catastrophe, including the government not recognise that controls this part. people are trying to coordinate but as he also described, it is very hard to get to and this is a catastrophe on a very huge and sudden scale. the

instead russian ambassador dmitry polyansky today requested a meeting to discuss western arms supplies, which he says are negatively effecting any prospects of resolving the crisis. last night, those western supplied arms were used to bomb russia's black sea fleet in occupied crimea. a large russian landing ship and a submarine were damaged. and elsewhere in ukraine, the anti—aircraft missiles we supply, brought down most of the 44 iranian "shahed" drones that russia had launched at 0deshchyna and sumy. it is true the counteroffensive has not made as much progress as some western observers would like, but there is a reason why president putin has been forced to turn to north korea. a point underscored by the senate minority leader mitch mcconnell, who is critical of republican allies who want to strip ukraine funding from the latest appropriations bill. there is nothing neo—conservative about support for ukraine. helping a democratic partner defended sovereign territory against an unprovoked attack from a common enemy is obviously in america's interest. let me stress, we aren't defending ukraine from aggression. ukrainians are doing that. america's two most powerful adversaries have struck up a "friendship without limits". if we fail to help ukraine stop russia in its tracks, there is every reason to believe russia and china will both be emboldened. miles taylor, one of the biggest threats to the transatlantic security arrangement is the gop. the eu, don't you think, has to stop waking up to that and planning for the possibility of the war dragging on and is also going

attack on the united states not that long ago. surely even the hardline republicans can see some of the alliances that are being built here. they can see that but they might argue with the arguments that russia, that iran, china, north korea would take encouragement, further encouragement from a russian victory in ukraine. that's the bit they dispute, that it matters that much. i happen to agree with the point of view that it does matter and they would be implications of letting russia win in any sense on. ukraine cannot hold its own continue to do that let alone win in any sense without

opposition has called for a complete re—evaulation of the uk's relationship with beijing. on sunday it was reported that a conservative parliamentary researcher who had access to sensitive foreign policy documents had been arrested under the official secrets act. at the g20 summit in india that i was at this weekend, the prime minister told us that he had used the opportunity to express his grave concerns to li chiang the chinese premier. but now we learn from the ft that in fact the researcher was arrested in march. which begs further questions of rishi sunaks china policy and how it evolved in recent months. a point raised today at prime ministers questions today by the opposition leader sir keir starmer. when i asked the prime minister on monday whether the foreign secretary raised the specific issue of the alleged spy arrested in march when he visited china a few weeks ago, the prime minister would only say that he raised that type of activity but avoided specifics. so i asked the prime minister again. did the foreign secretary raised this specific case when he visited china? yes or no? the foreign secretary raised these issues with the with the chinese foreign minister, who he met, as did i. when i had my meeting with premier li over the weekend. but when it comes to china, mr speaker, this government has put in place the most robust policy that has existed ever in our country's foreign policy. it is to protect our country, to protect our country for the values and the interest that we stand up for. it is to align our approach with our closest allies, including. separately, the times reports that m15 secretely warned the conservative party that two of its potential candidates to become mps could be spying for china. the opposition is calling for the prime minister to commit to a full audit of uk—china relations. rishi sunak says the government has already launched an integrated review, overseen by the new national security, protective agency. we should be clear that the foreign secretary was in beijing two weeks ago. this case all the —— went all the way back too much. ago. this case all the -- went all the way back too much.- ago. this

way back too much. there has been a gradual awareness in the l been a gradual awareness in the government that it needs to take more steps to protect britain. but the foreign secretary gave a speech, landmark speech back in spring, a speech normally devoted to the whole of foreign policy but this just devoted to china. he said we want to talk about china about big stuff like climate change, we want to trade with them but we want to protect ourselves as well and we are sympathetic to those who complain about human rights in china. it has certainly been consistent that britain wants it everywhere it once and that is what james cleverly continued to stay in beijing. britain is aware it didn't used to be that china under its current leadership is, poses in some domains a threat to british interests in terms of data, perhaps an secrets. perhaps it is better at being looked at how we can protect itself but thatis at how we can protect itself but that is only half of the whole sphere it wants to engage in. that sphere it wants to engage in. at many levels in our society deform at universities ministerjoejohnson universities ministerjoe johnson has talked universities ministerjoejohnson has talked today about the russell group of universities who are particularly dependent on chinese funding, chinese students, obviously pay higher student fees here in the uk. 0ne pay higher student fees here in the uk. one of the big london universities, ucl, takes a third of its tuition fees from china. you can see where this might go. some of these people at a top university

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 — gales 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 one or two 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 degrees. 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 weather front 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.
