like bob marley said, one good thing about music, when it hits it, it you feel no pain. i am sure she felt no pain, but felt the music. there are some genres in reggae. which is a dominant at the moment? reggae and dancehall, the dancehall element is extremely popular, but reggae music is still there, the one drop is not going anywhere. dancehall has climbed over the years to be a big factor. a boy who wrote a note to the uk postal service asking them to deliver a birthday letter to his father "in heaven", has had a reply. the royal mail told jase hyndman they'd had a difficult challenge avoiding stars and other galactic objects on route to heaven, but assured the 7—year—old his father had received it. more on all the news on the bbc website. and you can get in touch with me and most of the team on twitter. i'm @bbcmikeembley. thank you very much for watching. hello there. yesterday was a really dramatic day of large and crashing waves and some very strong gusts of wind. the top gust was recorded on the western edge of the isle of wight, at the needles — a gust of

this is proving very popular online, and bob marley would no doubt approve. reggae music has been declared a global treasure. unesco, the cultural agency of the united nations, made the ruling. and representatives from jamaica, where this genre of music originated, were visibly thrilled. reggae was born in the poor neighbourhoods of kingston in the 1960s. it reflected hard times and struggle but could also be joyous. it spread across the world with its calls for socialjustice, peace and love. three police officers in the philippines have been found guilty of the murder of a 17—year—old student during an anti—drug operation in manila last year. it's the first conviction for an extra—judicial killing carried out as part of president rodrigo duterte's controversial war on drugs. howard johnson has the details from manila. this was a controversial case because the night when it 17—year—old kian delos santos was killed police officers said he fought back and shot at them during a drug for operation so they shot and killed them in self defence but eyewi
