hear the odd and eastward. you may hear the odd rumble of thunder. it is clear from the south—west, it is a return to sunshine and some showers. these are our temperatures similar to today 1a and 18 degrees. we still have low pressure with us, pulling steadily eastwards. on wednesday itself we will have showery outbreaks of rain. that's moving south and four across england and wales. through the afternoon some of the showers and stone are quite heavy. further west for the dry conditions than northern ireland. highs of up to 70 degrees. we will be looking at 13 to 19 degrees. as we go to wasilla latter part of the working week, that's low pressure pulls away and allowing high pressured to pull away at least for a time. that also means the weather will start to settle down. on thursday, we have got sunshine and showers, fewer showers on friday

and showers, fewer showers on friday and then it is looking dry into the weekend.

authorities in papua new guinea say they estimate that more than 2,000 people were buried by a huge landslide on friday. the fbi says it is investigating to sale of hundreds of treasures that could have been stolen from the british museum. hello. the labour leader sir keir starmer has focused on security in his first major speech of the general election campaign. he's been telling undecided voters in west sussex that his party will deliver stability. the labour party says if elected it will carry out a 100—day national security review in government, looking at all of the threats facing britain. he was speaking in the last hour — let's listen back to a little of what he had to say.

politics has always been something that happens far away and yet something more profound has changed during the last 1a years of tory government. people now feel more and more of the decisions that affect their community are taken by people who not only live miles away, but have little empathy for their challenges. a politics that is, at best, doing something to people, not with them. and that is worth, as we saw in horrifying detail in westminster last week, those twin injustices, horizon and the impact of blood scandal, is something much, much darker even than that. it is about respect, or, to be precise, the lack

of it. that is the canary in the mind of injustice. for a long time now working people have believed that opportunity in britain is stacked against them, but now we are at a dangerous new point, close to crossing the rubicon of trust, not just in politics, but in many of the institutions that are meant to serve and protect the british people. i moment where people no longer believe their values or interest carry the respect of those in power. and when you put that alongside governments that over 1a years has left living standards in this country worse than wording —— and then when they find them, that is torched and release tablets of standards in public life, westminster parties that broke the rules they put in place to save lives and rules they expected you to follow, but ignored themselves, then you get a crisis and nothing less than who we are as a nation. the

values that have held us together, that have driven us on through hard times towards our greatest achievements, taken to the edge by these stories. and healing these wounds is what national renewal means. politics has to be about service. britain must be a country that respects your contribution. everyone, notjust those at that respects your contribution. everyone, not just those at the top to get get on. these are the ideas that i'm fighting for. this is my project, a briton once more in the service of working people, country first, party second. applause.

now, i don't know if this is the new politics or whether it is simply a return to something older that used to be taken for granted, but public service is the bare minimum you should expect and you also deserve the security, the certainty, the basic ordinary hope that britain will be better for your children and i think that no matter what her struggles, we always had that back in the 19705. my parents always believed that in the end hard work would be rewarded and britain would be better for their children, would be rewarded and britain would be betterfor their children, for me. now, that may not sound like much to some of you, but you can't underestimate how important it is for working—class familie5 like mine, how much i comforted my

parents, particularly towards the end of their lives. give us a hope and stability that we can build our lives around and i believe it is what working people want now more than anything. they want to believe in the future. they want, when they sated their children work hard and you can achieve anything, for to feel true. but after 1a year5 you can achieve anything, for to feel true. but after 1a years of tory damage to our values, the service and security they should expect i5 service and security they should expect is a given, theyjust don't believe it any more, and that has for all parties. 50 believe it any more, and that has for all parties.— believe it any more, and that has for all parties. 50 that was cursed -- sir keir — for all parties. 50 that was cursed -- sir keir starmer _ for all parties. 50 that was cursed -- sir keir starmer giving - for all parties. 50 that was cursed -- sir keir starmer giving his - for all parties. 50 that was cursed -- sir keir starmer giving his first —— sir keir starmer giving his first keynote election 5peech —— sir keir starmer giving his first keynote election speech of the campaign. you can see we have this life page, just head to the bbc news

website. or on the bbc news app. re5cue crew5 in the us state of texas have told the bbc they have witnessed an unprecedented rate of drownings over the last year and a half as rising numbers of people have tried to make a deadly river crossing over the borderfrom mexico. undocumented migration figures into the us hit record highs last year, with the issue a major one ahead of november's presidential election. our correspondent tom bateman reports from the border town of eagle pass. his report contains distressing images. where the deadly waters of the rio grande meet the razor wire of america's southern frontier, a woman has waded her way from the mexican 5ide, finally reaching the safety of us soil. she pleads to cross the fence. she has gone back into the water.

oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness, oh, my goodness. an activist films the scene as the woman met by us guards returns to the river, which is notorious for the numbers killed trying to cross. herfate is now unknown. directly on the other side it goes slower, you can see through and you can see the river right there. we joined a volunteer who saw the scene unfold. here, at the ground zero of america's bitter feud over immigration. in texas, drownings have risen dramatically in the last 18 months, as the numbers of people trying to cross into the us hit record highs. i felt very helpless there, and i felt like there was nothing that i could do. and i remind myself that telling her story, telling what i witnessed, that words have power. this is one person, one story, but this is happening hundreds of times on our border.

we are out with a rescue crew. geared up to fight fires, these days they are the first responders to a global surge of movement, as people fleeing conflict or seeking work in america encounter its hidden dangers. people don't understand when they cross, right now it looks slow, but as soon as they get in, they are going to feel the power of the river, and it is always in the middle area, and they underestimate it. a border patrol brings its boat in, but the rescue team's hopes quickly fade. they pull the body of a man to the shore. no one knows where his journey started, only how it ends. a fate these teams see here every day. this man's pockets have been checked. they found no documentation, no id, so at the moment nobody knows who he is, where he has come from, which country he has come from. we have heard so many of the political rows about this

issue of immigration, but in the end this is the human cost. there are no recent official figures on the numbers killed in the river. hundreds drowned last year. the republican governor of texas says his troops and razor wire deter crossings, a claim activists reject, saying they have made it more dangerous. tragedy keeps flowing into this riverside town. immigration is now a decisive election issue at home, but one they know here along the border also needs global answers, in the town where they bury the dead with no names. tom bateman, bbc news, eagle pass in texas. georgia's legislative committee has voted to allow a parliamentary vote on tuesday that is likely to overturn the presidential veto put on a controversial �*foreign influence' bill. it requires non—governmental organisations and independent media that receive more than twenty percent of their funding from abroad

to register as acting in the interest of a foreign power. the bill has sparked weeks of protests in the country. the president vetoed the legislation last week, describing it as "russian in spirit". earlier we heard from our correspondent rayhan demytrie, who's in tblisi. she explained what would be happening in court today. we are standing at the back entrance to the parliament. some protesters are gathering in a park nearby. inside parliament mp5 are now debating this controversial law on the transparency of foreign influence, the so—called foreign agents law. it was passed by the parliamentary majority about two weeks ago, then it was vetoed by the country's president and what is

happening today is the last hurdle before the final vote on tuesday by the governing party. on sunday georgia was marking its independence day and we heard a speech from the country's prime minister at an official ceremony and he accused the president of georgia of betrayal. late on sunday the president of georgia addressed the people in this country and she came up with a plan, quite an ambitious plan, of how to move georgia forward to europe. she called at the georgian charter and she invited all opposition parties to sign this charter. in essence what it offers a sweeping reforms in georgia, but first and foremost repealing the so—called foreign agents law and other laws that, she said, harm georgia's european future.

the fbi is investigating the sale to us buyers of what are suspected to be hundreds of treasures from the british museum. the gallery confirmed in august that a large number of objects were missing. a police investigation is underway. here's our culture editor, katie razzall. danish antiquities dealer ittai gradel is the man who first warned the british museum that an insider was stealing its treasures. three pieces i am bringing back to the museum. he'd bought these ancient gems and hundreds of others in good faith. but when he realised they may be stolen, and tried to raise the alarm, the museum brushed him off. these items were sold for such measly amounts that this suggested to me that what i'd discovered was only the tip of a much larger iceberg. eventually, one of its senior curators, peter higgs, was sacked. he denies any wrongdoing, and the police are still investigating. we've been hunting down

artefacts the british museum says have disappeared.
