toll will double. all the details are disturbing — more than 3a,000 people are now homeless. witnesses talk of the sea constantly depositing bodies on the shoreline. before i show you more of the aftermath, have a look at the moments the floodwater actually hit this city. the power, the speed, the force — sweeping everything away. people describe the land, just disappearing in an instant. aid agencies on the ground talk of an overwhelming need for everything — from water, shelter, medicine, rescue teams — with clinic and hospitals in the east of the country overwhelmed by the injured. the rescue operation has been made more difficult by the complicated political situation in libya. the country is split with an internationally recognised government in tripoli, and a rival government in the east. this is one description of what it is like in derna from a libyan journalist who spoke to the bbc. my friend, i'm staying with him right now to support him because when we were preparing for this interview with bbc, i heard, while i was next to him, the news of the death of his full family — his mother, his father, his two brothers, his sister maryam, and his wife, newly married wife, which he sent to libya to visit his familyjust two weeks ago, and his little kid, fauzi, who is eight months old. all of those died — all of his family is dead. he's asking me, "what should i do?" no—one knows what we should do right now. all of the people that we know when we ask, "what happened to this person? "what happened to that person?" they tell us that their whole families are dead. really devastating descriptions. earlier, the ministerfor really devastating descriptions. earlier, the minister for civil aviation in the east libyan government, not the internationally recognised one, told me about the situation. the latest figures are that there could be more than 5000 people dead, and around thousands reported missing in the massive floods caused by the storm. at this time, thousands of people are gone, because they are affected, their communities and houses. i would guess we have thousands of people now homeless and we have to deal with this humanitarian situation as soon as possible. regarding the situation with the rescue teams, with the libyan national army, they are trying their best to rescue people, to find survivors in the water and the sea, and the collapsing buildings. they are making a greatjob. hopefully, the number of people will stop, and it will not increase, because the situation there is hard to describe, you know? we still need rescue teams. we still need medical teams to arrive to derna or around and near derna, to help in offering medical care for those who are still alive. the devastation is so deep, some areas have been varnished completely, completely disappeared. so, imagine a residential area has been destroyed completely. you cannot see it. it does not exist any more. so, other houses which are not destroyed, but have been deeply affected by the floods. i have never seen anything like this before. it's really a tsunami. by all means, it's a tsunami. the best thing the community can offer us now is to send rescue teams. some specialist rescue teams who have experience in such disasters, to come to the ground and help in finding bodies and finding survivors as soon as possible. let's get more on the destruction, the scale of the relief operations on the geography of what we are talking about. my colleague rajini vaidyanathan has more from the verify team. we have been going through some of the videos coming into us from the floods in libya. this is the latest one we have been able to verify. this one shows the city of derna, which has been the most impacted in terms of destruction and, indeed, when it comes to the number of casualties. you can see these images from daylight that really show the true extent of the damage on that coastal city in the east of libya. now, let's get a map to give you a sense of where things are. this is the eastern side of libya, this is benghazi, a city that is the most populous on the eastern side of the country, one you may have heard of. these are the cities on the mediterranean coast which have also been impacted. this, of course, is derna that we talked about. this is the jabal al—akhdar mountain range. we will just zoom in a little bit here. this is a closer—up image of derna. as you can see, these are the two dams that were both breached in the aftermath of storm daniel, leading to that devastation. just remember these dams, because we are going to take a look at satellite imagery of derna. these images show derna before the floods hit the area. it's a very built—up area, a population of around 90,0000—100,000. i'm just going to show you the al sahaba mosque down here. this is useful, because when we have been verifying videos, we have been using that as a reference point to check the authenticity and the location of some of the footage that we have been getting in. just going to move to this. this really does look different, doesn't it? it shows you the extent of the damage that the floods have caused. a reminder here that this is the al sahaba mosque again that you can see here, just how much has been washed away what was once a really built—up area. you can see the road that was attacked before completely gone. we do have more detailed satellite images as well. we talked about the two dams earlier, this is the dam that is closest to the city. look at this, it is the road that runs over the dam. it is intact there, in this before footage. but if we are able to sweep this across, you can see that same road, much of it has gone. and again, you can see how things have been washed away. i'm going to move to this image, it's a difficult one to look at, but you can see the mass graves starting to appear in derna, as the death toll goes up. the authorities in the east of the country say that more than 5,300 people have died so far in the floods. they say they feel the death toll could dramatically increase in the coming hours. at bbc verify we will watch all of the videos that are coming into us and bring you more as and when we have it. live now to tripoli to speak to tauhid pasha, chief of mission for libya from the international organisation for migration. thank you so much for being here on the programme. why don't you start by describing what help you are actually providing there on the ground?

at the very least, both leaders believe they'd benefit from a closer relationship. their day began with a tour of a russian space centre. launch pads and rocket systems. north korea's reclusive leader was all ears. no surprise there — he wants help to develop his space and missile programmes. later, president putin said their talks would be on the economy and humanitarian issues. but was there a hidden agenda? in its war in ukraine, russia has been burning through ammunition. us officials believe that the kremlin has been trying to do an arms deal with north korea for munitions. if it has been, this former russian foreign minister is unimpressed. it's very humiliating that a russian ally is now north korea again. a great power would not go to north korea for an alliance or military supplies. but the kremlin seems to believe that a great power is one that stands up to america. so, was there an arms deal or wasn't there? we simply don't know. but what is clear, i think, is that the kremlin is using closer ties with north korea to send a message to washington — that russia may be under pressure, under sanctions, but it still has the capacity to cause problems, big problems, for the west. in other words, is moscow using north korea to scare russia's opponents? that's what we are going to show you, that you disregard us, but we still have this incredible leverage around the world and you don't even... we haven't even scratched the surface of how much we can do damage, potential damage, or at least freak you out. if that happens, i think that's putin's greater weapon than physical weapons. kim and putin, it's a marriage made not in heaven but in a geopolitical maelstrom. having a shared enemy, the west, has brought them together. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. remarkable pictures. we will take a break. when we are back, we will have the latest headlines and a round—up of the business news. hello, there. i suppose a reversal of fortunes, weather—wise. yesterday, scotland and northern ireland had the best weather, today it is a land in wales enjoying the best weather with some sunshine coming through like here in staffordshire. across the north—west of the uk, low pressure is lurking in the atlantic, and that is pushing ever—thickening cloud towards northern ireland and scotland, with rain already starting to push its way in. the rain will turn progressively steadier and heavier for northern ireland and western scotland through the afternoon. east scotland, clouding over, but probably still bright and dry for most of the afternoon. for england and wales, sunny spells, temperatures high teens or low 20s. not feeling too bad in that sunshine. 0vernight, the low pressure will continue to push rain northwards and eastwards. it will get windy for northern areas of scotland with gales across the north west for a time. as the band of rain sinks southwards from scotland, it southwards from scotland, will start to weaken. the rain won't be that intense as it pushes into north wales and northern areas of england. here is that weather front, continuing itsjourney southwards into thursday, bumping into this area of high pressure. that is why the front is not particularly active, the high pressure tending to squish it. thursday, band of rain across parts of wales, the midlands, lincolnshire. not really moving very far through the day. the rain is probably quite light and patchy. to the north—west, you might see a few showers. it will stay windy for northern areas of scotland all day. there will be some spells of sunshine. the south—east could become quite warm and humid again. temperatures 23 or 2a degrees in warmest spots. from thursday into friday, the weather front changes its mind and starts pushing back northwards, taking some heavier rain across wales, the midlands, into northern england and through friday that rain will start to make inroads across northern ireland and scotland, whereas further south england and wales, sunny spells, maybe an odd isolated shower. starting to feel a bit warmer, perhaps a bit more humid with temperatures back into the mid 20s. with cloud and rain in the north, it will not be a particularly warm here. into the weekend, a bit of a battle zone. low pressure in the south throwing weather fronts northwards. we might see higher pressure in the north, but there is still a bit of doubt about that. what i would say, is across southern areas, you are more likely to see outbreaks of rain, but it could reach right the way across northern scotland as well. this is bbc news. the headlines... more than 5,000 people are confirmed dead in libya — 10,000 more are still missing after devastating floods. ukraine's air force chief congratulates the pilots who attacked russia's black sea fleet in crimea, causing a large fire at sevastopol shipyard. consumer prices continue to rise in the us — driven by a jump in the cost of fuel. and the bbc speaks to us star 0livia rodrigo about her music, breaking records and overnight success. time for a look at the business news now with ben. we start in the us, where the latest official figures show that prices are rising at their fastest rate in more than a year.
