Andrew Tate under house arrest over new allegations

Hello. Today Sarah Rainsford is in Romania to report on new charges against self-proclaimed misogynist Andrew Tate. He is accused of trafficking underage persons and having sex with a minor. In Sicily, one person is still missing and six are confirmed dead after the Bayesian yacht sank - we're looking into the questions faced by the investigators. But first, the latest from Chicago.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

The key questions for sunk yacht investigators

The body of British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch has been recovered from the Bayesian yacht off the coast of Sicily, a source close to the family says. Five bodies have been recovered from the wreck of the boat, with one person still missing. Investigators have started to look into the circumstances of the tragedy, with many questions still unanswered.

Was the keel up? And if so, why?

It's one of the key questions facing investigators. A keel is a large, fin-like part of the boat that protrudes from its base. Its bottom contains a huge weight to keep the boat stable. On vessels this big, keels are often designed to be retracted so it can dock in shallower areas - but the Bayesian was found at a depth of 50m (164ft), which suggests there was no reason that the keel needed to be retracted. Investigators will want to know whether the keel was “up, down or somewhere halfway,” says Jean-Baptiste Souppez, fellow of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects

Could the crew have had foreseen the storm?

Captain James Catfield reportedly told Italian media that he couldn't have foreseen the storm. We do know that bad weather had been forecast beforehand, but the waterspout witnesses have described seeing is something else entirely. Waterspouts are similar to tornadoes, but form over water rather than land. And they are not something that the crew could have predicted.

What more do we know about the waterspouts?

According to the International Centre for Waterspout Research, there were 18 confirmed waterspouts off the coast of Italy on 19 August alone. But the chance of one striking a ship directly - as has been speculated here - is still very low. “The bottom line will be that even if there have been issues with keel or hatches being open, you are probably still looking at a freak weather accident,” says Mr Souppez.

THE BIG PICTURE

Who benefits from Lesotho’s ‘white gold’?

Lesotho, a mountainous country landlocked by South Africa, relies heavily on water for its economy. But much of it is funnelled to its water-scarce neighbour, while rural communities have no access to running water. Andre Lombard reports from the mighty Katse dam. But who is it for?‌

And finally... at the US-Mexico border

US border agents have intercepted a truck carrying more than $5m-worth of methamphetamine hidden inside a shipment of watermelons. The narcotics were stored in plastic bags painted in two shades of green to resemble the fruit. Would you have been tricked? Take a look.
