take a look at what is debt. we take a look at what is believed to be a newborn great white shark captured on film for the very first time. hello, welcome to verified live. three hours a breaking story in checking out the truth behind them. president biden says the united states will respond to a drone attack on the american military base near the syrian border at a time of its choosing. mr biden plans the attack on radical iran backed militant groups operating in syria and iraq. they have denied involvement in the attack in which three service personnel were killed 34 three service personnel were killed 3a injured. the americans say the attack happened at a base known as tower 22, right on the syrian—jordanian

border. it's one of many american bases across the region. there have been dozens of drone and missile attacks in recent months, but no american personnel have been killed until now. joe biden, seen here attending church, was quick to point the finger. "we know it was carried out by radical iran—backed militant groups operating in syria and iraq," he said. it's not necessarily a tipping point into uncontrolled escalation between the united states and iran, but it's another very dangerous step because, as i say, the us will have to respond even more strongly than it's done to previous attacks. carefully cultivated over years, iran has a wide network of allies and proxies operating in countries across the middle east. they're all opposed to israel and the united states. it's sometimes called the axis of resistance. there are pro—iranian militias in lebanon, the palestinian territories,

gaza and the west bank, plus iraq and syria. and far to the south, there's also the houthis in yemen. over the weekend, the houthis have been launching their own attacks, hitting a tanker in the gulf of aden. british warship hms diamond used an air defense missile to bring down a houthi drone. with british help, the us have been hitting houthi military targets for a couple of weeks. so far, the houthis seem undeterred. they say they'll stop attacking ships if and when there's a ceasefire in gaza. the problems america is dealing with across the region aren't all about gaza, but the war there has left the whole middle east a lot more dangerous. i started by asking about george and �*s reaction. pm

youtubers in california. they use drones to try to capture bits of life which haven t been captured before on film. the findings of the research, which include this filming, will be published in the journal of environmental biology of fishes. this is victoria. what she doesn't know is that she is swimming at a beach with four great white sharks in the water. we only know this because carlos has been flying his drone here for the last few hours. she's out. look at that thing. you can see it good. carlos is a youtuber and shark fanatic who is frankly amazing at finding sharks with his drone. it's dusk. not a good time to be swimming near great white sharks. shall we just warn her now before she goes back in? it's likely that victoria would have been fine swimming without our intervention. but when carlos thinks it's a bad idea to go in the water, it's probably best to get out. amazing. so, from here, you have no idea there was a great white shark out there because it is almost impossible to see it. that is why drones are so important, because you have to be almost on top of it to actually see them. you are basically viewing the sharks through a magnifying glass

that they don't know is watching them. one local marine biologist was with carlos when they stumbled across something they had never seen before. the female just was acting erratically. she does, disappeared, and guess what came up from underneath? this little—bitty white, almost albino—looking white shark. so, it's called a white shark. that's the species. it's a white shark. but this shark was actually completely white in colour. the fins, they are differently shaped, they are more rounded. i'm like, "that's not an older white shark, that's a very young white shark. this could be a newborn." i'm like, "oh, my goodness, this could be a newborn." other experts accept this could be an historic discovery, but they need more evidence. the problem that i have as a scientist is it's what we call a sample size of one. and a lot of people ask, what would it take to convince you that this is a pupping area? and i would say i would need to see babies coming out of a female. but what everyone can agree

on is that drones are playing a huge role in our understanding of these animals. james clayton, bbc news, california. lifted carlos with the sandal at the malibu artists take you so much for joining us and youtube shirk youtube. what is believed to be this great _ shirk youtube. what is believed to be this great white _ shirk youtube. what is believed to be this great white shark _ shirk youtube. what is believed to be this great white shark what - shirk youtube. what is believed to be this great white shark what is l be this great white shark what is your reaction?— your reaction? your immediate reaction was — your reaction? your immediate reaction was where _ your reaction? your immediate reaction was where there - your reaction? your immediate reaction was where there an i your reaction? your immediate - reaction was where there an albino shark because we have never seen a white shark that white and what ended up happening was we were on location filming thing this was an albino the whole time and it wasn't until after that i would like at the footage closer and realised that it

some really heavy rain, particularly across parts of northern england in the colder air. well, something a little bit clearer overhead. and as we head through the nights, that area of cloud and increasingly patchy rain will swing away eastwards. and those clearer, colder conditions getting in across northern ireland and scotland. so a frost here, maybe some ice in places to start tuesday morning. but that will give way to actually quite a lot of sunshine and just the odd shower into western scotland. now england and wales, starting with a fair bit of cloud, the odd shower, maybe still some showers in eastern counties by the afternoon. but for the majority here, we will see some spells of sunshine, a little bit chillier than some of us have been used to recently. seven to 11 degrees now through tuesday night and into wednesday. it's all eyes to the northwest, this deepening area of low pressure. see all the ice bars squeezing together here that shows that we're going to have a spell of really

strong winds, particularly across scotland, gales widely, but in the far north, gusts of 80 miles per hour, particularly as this band of heavy, squally rain sinks south. with that rain getting into northern ireland and northern england, another wet day over high ground, for example, in north west england to the south of that, mostly dry, fairly mild cold air behind our frontal system with some wintry showers for a time in the north of scotland. now, thursday looks like a quieter day, some spells of sunshine, although cloud will build across north western parts, rain into north west scotland. and that begins a push of really mild air for the end of the week. this warm front working across northern scotland on thursday night. behind it, a wedge of really very mild air indeed. that mild south west of the flow, also quite a moist southwest of the flow. so there will be more in the way of cloud as we look ahead to friday. but it is going to be exceptionally mild temperatures of 12 to 14 degrees before now. to 14 degrees bye for now.
