why researchers believe a popular diabetes and weight loss drug could also help slow the ageing process. the american rapper fatman scoop has died aged fifty three —— after collapsing on stage during a performance. and oasis fans prove their commitment to hello. two people who were attacked in separate incidents at notting hill carnival have both died from their injuries. thirty two—year—old cher maximen was stabbed in broad daylight on sunday. she was at the carnival with her three year old daughter, and other family friends. she is understood to have been wounded after she tried to intervene in a fight. mussie imnetu, who was forty one, was found

unconscious on the street outside a restaurant with a head injury on monday. here's what the police announced at the press conference earlier. many of you are aware that following the notting hill carnival we shared information about two people with very serious injuries. i am very sad to tell you now that both have since died. first i will talk to you about mussie imnetu. he was m—years—old and he was visiting the uk from dubai. he was found unconscious with a head injury in queensway at 11:22pm on monday, 26th of august. officers and paramedics provided emergency first aid and mussie was taken to hospital where, despite the best efforts of medical staff, he sadly died on friday afternoon. a 31—year—old man has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent,

and the matter is now being treated as murder investigation. i will now talk to you about cher maximen. cher was 32—years—old and was stabbed shortly before 6pm on sunday, 25th of august. officers and paramedics provided first aid and cher was transported to hospital in a critical condition. despite the hard work of medical staff, cher sadly died this morning. cher was at the carnival with a young child who is a safe and is being cared for. on tuesday morning, officers arrested a 20—year—old man, who has already been charged with attempted murder. this case is also now a murder investigation. the news of these two tragic

deaths is devastating for both families. my thoughts are with them as they come to terms with their unimaginable loss. they will continue to be supported by specialist officers, and we ask that their privacy is respected at this time. we are still appealing for information. if you witnessed either incident, please contact 101 or crimestoppers anonymously. detectives are particularly interested in speaking to customers from the restaurant in queensway who tried to stop the attack on mussie imnetu. this happened at around 11:20pm on monday. i urge them to contact us. thank you. speaking earlier outside the headquarters of the metropolitan police.

the organisers of notting hill carnival have put out a statement on x, formerly called twitter. they say:notting hill carnival is shocked by these tragic deaths and our thoughts are with the victims�* families and the local community which like so many others, has suffered all too often from the blight of violent crime. (ani)we stand together crime.we stand together against all violence and condemn these acts, which are against allcarnival values...and the millions of people who come in celebration of them. our correspondent catherine byaruhanga gave us this update from scotland yard. by by two people with very serious injuries. i'm very excited i know that both have since died. palestinian health workers have started vaccinating some babies in gaza against polio ahead of a mass immunisation programme that's starting on sunday.

palestinian health workers carried out the vaccinations in nasser hospital in khan younis. unicef says the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours every day until september the fourth. israel and hamas have agreed to three localised pauses in fighting to enable more than six—hundred—thousand palestinian children to be vaccinated. with more from jerusalem — here's our middle east correspondent, jon donnison. they have got a lot of young children to vaccinate. 640,000. and with the polio vaccination it comes in two rounds, so more thani million vaccinations are already in gaza, the first round of vaccinations will start tomorrow as part of this campaign, and then in three weeks those children will have to have another vaccination. so, a lot of the logistics around this have actually been about keeping the vaccination is cool because obviously it is very hot in gaza at the moment and they have got to be refrigerated, and for the most part it is local doctors who would be administering it,

but with so many people to be vaccinated it is obviously going to be challenging. let's turn our attention to israel �*s military operation in the west bank, what is the latest on that? well, this intensified israeli military operation has now been going on for several days, and it has continued today, as you say specifically injenin. my colleagues there say they have been loud explosions coming from the urban refugee camp in the centre ofjenin, as well as bursts of gunfire. israeli helicopter gunships have been spotted overhead. israel says it is pursuing its counterterrorism operations, its foreign minister has said there is, in effect, a war in the west bank, and it is a war that israel is determined to win, but it is having a huge impact on civilians living

in palestinian cities in the north of the west bank. many of them have been shuttered up in their homes for many days. i was injenin this week and it was deserted on the streets. my colleagues injenin say they have seen a number of women and children being brought out in a group from the refugee camp, but it is an ongoing situation. and there has also been an attack on an aid convoy in gaza. what is the update on that? well, this actually happened on thursday and it was a convoy from a us aid group that was taking medical supplies to a hospital in rafah, in the south of gaza. what they say is that the convoy was hit by an airstrike. the first vehicle in the convoy was hit, and that for people,

palestinians, who were escorting the convoy as a security to protect it from looting, died in that air strike. the charity involved says that they were not actually their employees, but they had been recruited locally. israel has said that they were militants travelling as part of this convoy�*s cover. brazil has begun implementing a block on elon musk�*s social media platform, x, in a dispute about the spread of disinformation. the ruling was made after the company missed a deadline to name a new legal representative there. a supreme courtjudge ordered the "immediate and complete suspension" of x until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines. x removed its legal representative from brazil, claiming thejudge had threatened her with arrest. elon musk says: �*free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo—judge in brazil, is destroying it for political purposes.�*

our correspondent leandro prazeres is in brasilia. well actually this is a scenario that is quite intriguing because brazil has more than 20 million x users, and for some of them, including myself, it was very common to check on the x application from time to time and since the early hours of today this is not possible because the suspension of x in brazil took place at the beginning of the day. right now the most pressing question is how long is this ban going to last? there is no indication that elon musk is going to step back from his decisions, meaning that he is not willing to comply with the orders issued by brazil�*s supreme court. on the other hand, if he does not comply with the orders, the supreme court will not have

any legal reason to step back and reverse this order. this relationship between elon musk and the supreme court judge, elon musk has been extremely critical of him. yes, that�*s true. we have to bear in mind that at the very heart of this question there is a dispute over the right of free speech because this is exactly at the centre of what elon musk has been saying. he has been saying that what thisjudge in brazil is doing is a threat to free speech in the country. on the other hand, the judge is saying that we should not mistake the right to free speech with the right to aggression because there is an ongoing investigation at the moment in brazil,

and that is the beginning of everything. thisjudge ordered some extra files to be banned because they were allegedly spreading misinformation, but elon musk said that he would not because he does not agree with these orders. i read that last year telegram was temporarily banned as well over its failure to cooperate with requests to block certain profiles, so to what extent are other social media companies concerned about the actions that the courts may take? well, it is a difficult question to answer because in 2022, during the election process here in brazil, as you said, telegram was banned for some time. telegram was not complying with the orders issued

by brazil �*s supreme court. the situation is quite similar to the situation that we have now because telegram also did not have a legal representative in brazil at that time. but because of this ban, telegram named a legal representative in brazil and then this social network resumed its functioning here in brazil. so far, there is no indication, at least not to my knowledge, that other social networks such as facebook, instagram and others would be concerned over a ban because actually this is something that the rulings of this judge saying that meta and other networks have been complying with the orders of brazil�*s micro—supreme court. researchers say they believe a drug used to treat obesity and type—2 diabetes could also help slow the ageing process. studies on the effectiveness

of semaglutide — which is sold under the brand names ozempic, and wegovy — found that the drug could be used to treat a wide range of illnesses linked to heart failure, arthritis, alzheimer�*s and even cancer. researchers say that by improving people�*s health this way, the drug could help slow ageing. let�*s speak to john deanfield, who is a professor of cardiology at university college london. if you look at many of the diseases and conditions that are associated with dementia, cancers etc and when these drugs are being given to patients. these drugs are being given to atients. ~ ., ., patients. who have both conditions, _ patients. who have both conditions, and - patients. who have both conditions, and they - patients. who have both - conditions, and they produce significant weight loss, the evidence now suggests that many of those conditions are prevented to a significant

degree and others will we are very excited at the british heart foundation that we see a significant reduction in strokes and heart attacks and hospitalisations for heart failure. when we are talking about significant we talk about the third of the cases but otherwise have occurred or prevented. with this kind of treatment. so that is what they mean by the ageing process itself. going beyond that, there has been an argument or discussion as to whether all of the benefits associated with the benefits associated with the weight loss generated by these treatments is that the main cause or benefit or other owner effects at the treatments themselves by binding to the receptor binds to, does it produce other benefits independent of weight loss? they come to that conclusion because when they look at patients who don�*t lose as much weight as other patients, many of those patients still sing the same level of benefit, particularly in terms of heart

disease and strokes so why is it happening even in some cases when the weight isn�*t coming down as much? there are a number of reasons that, we know that when you are overweight and if you lose weight, if you lose weight with these drugs, they modify your appetite and not only for food but it seems like you may reduce your intake of alcohol, you may also reduce your smoking habits so that is a fascinating observation that has come out of the trials of the sea they would have a major impact on reducing the risk. there is also and oversee as a consequence of weight loss we see reductions in cholesterol, we see reduced risk of getting diabetes, they patients become more mobile and active so there are many facets, all of those things which are stopping smoking and producing alcohol, becoming more active and taking more

exercise in of themselves will help reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease. i think the message they reinforce is a thing we�*ve been saying for a long time, try and maintain a healthy body weight and if you overweight, try lose weight. ideally naturally by taking more exercise, and modifying your diet, but it is exciting that those patients who have tried that and haven�*t been able to get the weight loss they desire, then we do now have a treatment option. it looks highly effective at reducing weight but also producing a patient�*s risk of going on and getting heart disease or stroke which can be devastating things happen and thatis devastating things happen and that is why there are so much excitement about it.- excitement about it. very briefl , excitement about it. very briefly, doesn't _ excitement about it. very briefly, doesn't this - excitement about it. very briefly, doesn't this kind l excitement about it. very. briefly, doesn't this kind of briefly, doesn�*t this kind of drive up demand and particularly for people who don�*t need it as much as some patients whose health is compromised.— patients whose health is compromised. patients whose health is comromised. . , ,, compromised. that is the issue of these treatments _ compromised. that is the issue of these treatments because i of these treatments because some people like to use them simply to try and lose weight, to improve their appearance. as

opposed to needing to lose weight because they are at risk of heart disease, and other diseases but of course and in some way we must try and target those therapies to patients were generally overweight or at levels that are recommended or have diabetes are worth because not only does is going to be effective, it is going to be more effective at reducing the risk because they are going to be the people at risk and those are the people who are to benefit most reducing heart disease and stroke. china and the philippines have accused each other of deliberately crashing into each other�*s vessels in a disputed area of the south china sea. the incident involved two coastguard ships and marked the second such event in two weeks at the sabina shoal. the philippines has claimed a chinese ship "directly and intentionally rammed" into its vessel, while beijing has accused the philippines of "deliberately" crashing into a chinese ship. the sabina shoal is the latest flashpoint in an ongoing territorial battle between beijing and manila over

various zones and islands in the south china sea. we set tens of thousands of people have spent hours waiting in a queue on the websites some standing tickets which ran £435 were being priced as high as series the and the sunday times. who broke the story you are somewhat ahead of the curve, once you? i heard about this route reunion it is the only thing that anyone�*s been able to speak about this week which was exciting and i think it is really catching balls is a

price as to how global and dominating it has been, i think people it is nostalgic, i think there are a lot of young fans, and i think that�*s why it�*s really caught the imagination of millions.— of millions. what you mean bi aer of millions. what you mean bigger than _ of millions. what you mean bigger than they _ of millions. what you mean bigger than they ever - of millions. what you mean | bigger than they ever were? when they... what you�*ve now got is that you are than static brand so people in their 40s, 50s, 60s for the first time in the vacuum of them not being here, they have attracted a huge audience so away from the kind of i say way from the gossip and the noise of other brothers and the last bit of a career that kind of dwindled. young fans, any teenagers and people in their 20s, have latched onto the music because they will truly replaced when they will truly replaced when they went away. they now have a whole set of banter went even born when they last played. but the ve born when they last played. but they very much of the era? good music stands the test of time

but there are very much part of that britpop manchester scene. they were and i think this is the interesting thing because if you listen to music you don�*t really know the history of the gossip or what�*s going on, but they did and this is what i mean by they could not has happened with the ticket going to be replaced, i don�*t sales. they say they could not what i mean by they could not going to be replaced, i don�*t mean this in a good or bad way, mean this in a good or bad way, it is dominated by solar stars it is dominated by solar stars who have a cheer on, adele, who have a cheer on, adele, taylor swift, talking about taylor swift, talking about themselves but of what oasis themselves but of what oasis did was they wrote songs about did was they wrote songs about freedom, they talked about freedom, they talked about being in a second bad situation being in a second bad situation a society and this is the a society and this is the release. their songs were songs release. their songs were songs of release and i don�*t think of release and i don�*t think anyone has done that since. anyone has done that since. they were of an era but they they were of an era but they wrote about something timeless wrote about something timeless which is frankly wanting to which is frankly wanting to escape the drudgery of everyday escape the drudgery of everyday existence. i escape the drudgery of everyday existence. i escape the drudgery of everyday existence. . ., . ~ escape the drudgery of everyday existence. _, . ~ ., escape the drudgery of everyday existence. ., ., existence. i come back to what they stood _ existence. . ., . ~ escape the drudgery of everyday existence. _, . ~ ., escape the drudgery of everyday existence. ., ., existence. i come back to what they stood _ existence. i come back to what they stood for _ existence. i come back to what existence. i come back to what they stood for _ existence. i come back to what they stood for that _ existence. i come back to what they stood for that the - they stood for that the government has sent us, has they stood for that _ existence. i come back to what they stood for that the - they stood for that the government has sent us, has issued a statement as to what issued a statement as to what

has happened with the ticket has happened with the ticket sales. they say that sales. they say that

has happened with the ticket sales. they saj a 1at has happened with the ticket sales. they saj a couple of attention now. a couple of years ago, was that if the ticket are in demand the tickets are therefore they become as high on ticketmaster as they are in the secondary sides and therefore if people, if they put a price assesses types, that�*s the argument and the argument also goes that if you keep the money but in ticketmaster than the official tickets and artist will give the money as opposed to types who want to get a pen. the problem with that, quite opposite, is that the high artists and the ones that need the money. they were headline news, music magazines with the? it was spat between artists all throughout the 80s and 90s because that�*s how we got our news about music. surely they are going to be quite a few people in the audience who are going to be fascinated by that dynamic between them on stage. this is

wh it's between them on stage. this is why it's not _ between them on stage. this is why it's not just _ between them on stage. this is why it's notjust comeback - why it�*s notjust comeback story, other people have come back, the family element really must address need more. it�*s a soap opera and i think people will be watching their relationship on stage could give was saying either together? are they smiling? they�*re forensically examining this photograph, that�*s always been the joy of them and how much they are together, will be told if they release new music. if they release new music, then possibly it is a very strongly that they were gone for years. if they don�*t then you might expect them to the backs of the staff. , ., ., . staff. everyone in the audience comes to _ staff. everyone in the audience comes to master _ staff. everyone in the audience comes to master from - staff. everyone in the audience comes to master from the - staff. everyone in the audience| comes to master from the 90s. exactly, and people who have the ideal set list and there will be some good songs albums |, will be some good songs albums i, they will largely be the first two albums and b sides and it will be, they are going to be quite extraordinary gigs

and i think the way the talked about not playing glastonbury which i think is really interesting because if glastonbury isn�*t a great success then it will be local by wire to waste is there? they have managed to basically dominate next yearjust by announcing these gigs. the ower announcing these gigs. the power of — announcing these gigs. the power of oasis. _ announcing these gigs. the power of oasis. i'm - announcing these gigs. the power of oasis. i'm sure does power of oasis. i�*m sure does send you a freebie after all you�*ve done for them. but a fury of coast. thanks for coming on. the wedding of a norweigan princess and american self styled shaman has taken place. princess martha louise married durek verrett at a hotel in the town of geiranger on a fjord on norway�*s west coast. the princess, who is 52, relinquished royal duties two years ago after using her title to make money by running an alternative therapy centre with mr verrett. the couple have also been criticised in norway

for selling the rights to their wedding to hello magazine and netflix, and marketing a �*wedding gin�*. an alternative headline might have been appropriate. you are watching bbc news. it�*s been a glorious sunny start for most of us to begin this weekend. however, it�*s not the same for everyone. we do have more cloud around southern and eastern areas, and through the weekend i think we�*ll start to see increasing chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly across england and wales. but it�*s been a glorious start today, like i mentioned. here�*s a beautiful scene from conwy in north wales. big contrast, though, to cloudier, leaden skies across east anglia and the south east. it�*s because we�*re drawing this cloud off the north sea on a fairly brisk easterly breeze across southern areas, whereas further north, we�*re into the sunny blue skies. so for the rest of the day it does look like it�*s going to stay rather cloudy across the south and southeast. maybe a few showers starting to push up from the near

continent later in the day. but a warm one to come further north with all the sunshine, low 20s for glasgow. low 20s as well for parts of wales, northwest england. now, through this evening and overnight the cloud starts to drift northwards, start to import some humid air from southern areas and that will increase the chance of some heavy showers or thunderstorm — hit and miss showers, not everyone will get them. but you can see we�*re importing this warm and humid air from the near continent. so quite a muggy night to come for england and wales to start. sunday could be no lower than 16 or 17 degrees in the southeast. so we start off with a bit more cloud across england and wales for sunday. best of the sunshine towards the north west. but even here the cloud tends to build. there�*s a chance of seeing some heavy showers and thunderstorms becoming more widespread across parts of england and wales. hit and miss showers, not everyone will get one and there�*s a question mark to the extent of these showers could be a bit further north, could be a bit further westwards. a warm and humid day to come across central and southern and eastern areas, a little bit fresher further north. for monday, we have a weak

area of low pressure across the country. a couple of weather fronts that will enhance shower and thunderstorm activity, could see some showers and storms across eastern areas. another one in towards the west. again, a bit of a question mark, some uncertainty to the details of monday. have to stay tuned, but could see some sunny spells across the southeast corner and again across the far east, we could be into the high 20s. so again, quite warm here, but generally high teens, low 20s elsewhere with more cloud and showers around. i think as we run through the week, though, conditions begin to improve. we lose the shower and thunderstorms early on, and then high pressure might build back in for the end of the week to settle things down with increasing amounts of sunshine. but stay tuned.

this is bbc news, the headlines: a man and woman die from injuries sustained in separate incidents at the notting hill carnival. the metropolitan police say cher maximen died on saturday morning, and swedish national mussie imnetu died on friday. palestinian health workers start vaccinating some babies in gaza against polio, a day before a mass immunisation programme is due to begin. israel and hamas agree to three localised pauses in fighting to enable children the delivery of vaccines. researchers believe a drug used

to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity could also slow down the process of ageing. they believe the drug could treat a wide range of illnesses from alzheimer�*s to cancer. tickets for the oasis reunion tour go on sale. and thousands of fans face lengthy waits with official websites quickly overloaded. one provider, ticketmaster, insists the queue is moving. now it�*s time for a look at today�*s sport. hello from the bbc sport centre. joe root has made english cricket history on day three of the second test against sri lanka, scoring a 34th test century to put his side in a very strong position at lord�*s. the former captain�*s latest innings has broken the record of most test centuries for england previously held by another former skipper, sir alistair cook. root�*s score of 103 also helped him become only the fourth player to make a century in both innings of a lord�*s test. root�*s was the last wicket to fall in england�*s second innings, the home side all out for 251. that set sri lanka a massive 483 to win

and level the series, and they�*re 53 for 2 with root taking two catches. three of the four teams with a 100% record after two weekends of the premier league put have been putting that to the test on saturday with two of them drawing at the emirates after declan rice was sent off for arsenal against brighton. his team were ahead when the red card came, but kai havertz�*s goal was then soon cancelled out by joao pedro with the 1—all draw meaning both teams dropped points for the first time this season. i was amazed. because in the first when the opponent did that, they didn�*t get any book and in. that, they didn't get any book and in. , .., that, they didn't get any book and in. , .. ., and in. they called in a noncritical area - and in. they called in a noncritical area on the | and in. they called in a - noncritical area on the pitch. by noncritical area on the pitch. by law he can do it. then be consistent and is well if that is the case then you have to send and they will play ten against ten. for

me he shoots _ will play ten against ten. for me he shoots the _ will play ten against ten. for me he shoots the ball away so it's a _ me he shoots the ball away so it's a clear yellow card, it changes— it's a clear yellow card, it changes the momentum of the game — changes the momentum of the game i— changes the momentum of the game. i think they decided first— game. i think they decided first good in the first half they— first good in the first half they had control of the game, but after— they had control of the game, but after ten, 15 minutes we changed _ but after ten, 15 minutes we changed it. so we started to control_ changed it. so we started to control the game and the goal happened at it nowhere for arsenat _ happened at it nowhere for arsenal. we didn't defend it good — arsenal. we didn't defend it good. the red card change momentum for sure. manchester city also started the weekend with a perfect record, which they�*re putting to the test at west ham. they�*ve just kicked off at the london stadium. it is still 0—0. elsehwere everton were 2—nil up in the 87th minute but conceded three times to lose to bournemouth. brentford also scored three in a win over southampton. another promoted team leicester lost at aston villa but the third — ipswich got their first point of the season, as did wolves at nottingham forest. lando norris has given himself another chance of whittling down formula one championship leader max verstappen�*s advantage in the standings by qualifying on pole position for sunday�*s italian grand

prix. after winning in the netherlands last weekend, the mclaren driver took top spot on the grid at monza ahead of teammate oscar piastri. george russell qualified third, while max verstapped called his red bull �*shocking�* while max verstappen called his red bull �*shocking�* as the world champion could only finish seventh. with nine rounds of the season to go, he has a 70 point lead over norris. of the 49 gold medals on offer at the pa ralympics on saturday, the one claimed by the netherlands�* fleurjong might prove the most decisive. she beat her own paralympic record to take the title in the t64 long jump event with a winning jump of 6 metres 53. her compatriot marlene van gansewinkle collected the silver with a personal best, but almost 70 centimetres less thanjong, and the usa�*s beatriz hatz came third. meanwhile, in the pool there were two world records in two consecutive races as great britain william ellard was the second fastsest qualifier for the final of the s14 200 metres

freestyle but came through to take the title just after stephen clegg had done the same in the s12 100m backstroke. the coverage from paris continues on the bbc sport website and app. that�*s also where you can follow the tennis from new york as both number one seeds attempt to reach the fourth round of the us open singles. but that�*s all the sport for now. huw, thank you very much. vaccinations against poio have started in gaza — a day before a mass immunsation programme is due to begin. the un has confirmed the main roll—out will start on sunday at seven thirty in the morning, local time. it will begin in in deir al—balah in central gaza for children between five to ten years old. unicef says that the vaccinations will take place for six and a half hours each day until wednesday. it�*s urged parents in gaza to bring their children, stressing that the vaccinations are free and safe. professor david salisbury is chair of the world health organisation�*s global commission for certifying polio eradication. he explained the logistics of reaching every child in gaza.

i�*m sure it will be difficult, especially with a degree of disruption of the infrastructure. but i think there�*s a lot of experience on delivering polio vaccine campaigns in difficult circumstances. if you got three essential things, it can be assess and what is having vaccine, people to be vaccinated. i have every hope that it would be a success. my understanding is that these are daytime pauses for three days with an option for a fourth day. but again, i sincerely hope that if the work is not completed they will be more opportunities to get every child vaccinated, that is what will be needed. vaccination will be needed. vaccination will be needed. vaccination will be essential to protect children and make sure that any who are vulnerable simply do not get polio. it is essential. it's

not get polio. it is essential. it�*s important that high uptake of vaccination is achieved. and if it is achieved and two rounds are done successfully it will be a great success to stop this transmission of polio virus. the israeli military operation in the occupied west bank appears to have been scaled back — but it is continuing around the city ofjenin. these pictures were shot there on saturday morning — they appear to show armoured israeli vehicles moving into the city, with helicopters circling overhead. noor alfaris is a reporter based injenin — she told us what was happening there. after four days of operation injenin, they surrounded thejenin camp, they blocked all the main roads leading tojenin main camp and to the city, and to the eastern district ofjenin city also. first they started to bomb all the electricity generators.

they started to destroy all the infrastructure here injenin. they just cut all the water lines, the connections and internet lines sojenin city and camp now, it is like they cut all their connections for people who live there. also they killed 12 people, one of them is an 80—year—old man, so they just want us to be afraid. they want civilian people to be afraid. they want to destroy them and stop them from surrounding the resistance here injenin. some areas have reported record

rainfall triggering floods. with more rain expected. thousands of home has power supply and dozens of internal flights have been cancelled with train services. state elections will be held in germany on sunday, and in the country�*s east, the far—right party alternative for germany stands a real chance of winning. the afd has built a strong base in the states of saxony and thuringia and anger with chancellor olaf scholz�*s government is surging, especially after a knife attack last weekend in which three people were killed. the main suspect is a syrian asylum seeker who had been facing deportation. the anti—immigration party is now germany�*s fifth largest party. a win this weekend would be its first state victory. a warning: jessica parker�*s report contains some flashing images. booing. boos and shouts aimed at chancellor olaf scholz, among them "traitor" and "warmonger". chancellor scholz has not been

very visible during this campaign in the east. he�*s not exactly seen as an electoral asset, and the reception for him here, it�*s mixed. an argument in the crowd. the man on the left supports the far—right alternative for deutschland. the man on the right does not. does germany feel divided to you at the moment? yeah. yes, they say. that�*s the one thing they can agree on. music. some upbeat music, but don�*t be fooled. there�*s tension in germany, especially around immigration. that�*s feeding the afd�*s popularity, a party in thuringia that�*s classed by domestic intelligence as right—wing extremist. some people in germany, they�*re not just critical of the afd, they say they�*re actually scared of the afd. translation: no-one wants to be called right-wing - extremist or nazis.

we make conservative . politics, but it's far away from right—wing extremism. that's what people are being told every day, i and they fall for it. life looks good here, but something�*s bubbling in the former communist east. what�*s driving this discontent? well, there�*s angst on issues ranging from immigration to germany sending weapons to ukraine, a deep frustration with the parties that have governed this country since reunification, and a dissatisfaction amongst people in east germany about what reunification has or hasn�*t delivered. you can constantly see where the east begins and where the west begins. better infrastructure, better industry, it�*s more concentration on the west, like. . .. and we are getting, like, forgotten. constantin, who says he�*ll support the afd,

very effective at enabling people to lose weight at in a sustainable way for the this is very exciting because for the first time we have medicines that really could help people lose weight. but the real step forward we�*ve had from recent trials is the fact that not only do people lose weight but there seems to be a benefit on their background diseases that they also have. for example, in a very big trial we did last year these drugs were shown to help people do not have diabetes, to have a reduction in heart attacks and strokes in a way that was independent of the weight loss that they achieved. so suddenly these drugs become interesting, not only for diabetes but also for weight loss. now for trying to prevent and reduce the complications of background diseases like heart disease. and most recently kidney disease as well. this is what we call a disease modifying

type of treatment, which could have tremendous impact for the future. i have tremendous impact for the future. . , , future. i realise i might be invitinu future. i realise i might be inviting you _ future. i realise i might be inviting you to _ future. i realise i might be inviting you to blind - future. i realise i might be inviting you to blind us - future. i realise i might be | inviting you to blind us with science we don�*t understand, but how does that work? it�*s science we don't understand, but how does that work? it's a really good — but how does that work? it's a really good question. - but how does that work? it's a really good question. i - really good question. i think the doctors are still trying to figure that out. we initially assumed that it might be related to the weight loss itself. but it turns out that the benefits on heart disease, diseases of the light seems to be independent of the amount of weight that people lose. it may be due to a whole range of things, people may behave differently when they are taking these drugs. but the drugs may have a direct effect on blood vessels or kidneys, the sorts of things that made beneficial independent of the weight lose— weight loss. there are some rather unpleasant _ weight loss. there are some j rather unpleasant symptoms sometimes?— rather unpleasant symptoms sometimes? yes. all drugs we . ive sometimes? yes. all drugs we cive to sometimes? yes. all drugs we give to patients _ sometimes? yes. all drugs we give to patients potentially - give to patients potentially have side effects with up mostly of the downside of these drugs relate to relatively

minor and temporary gastrointestinal upset for that you�*ll feel nauseated, it may be a bit of diarrhoea or constipation. but there have been very should view things would be concerned about. we for sometimes the experience of large numbers of people who have been taking these drugs for diabetes. we�*re quite comfortable that they represent a safe class of drugs that will really help a lot of people. to what extent might more people want to get in the nhs can really afford? and people, if they alter their lifestyle what how they eat, how they exercise might not actually needed. edit might not actually needed. of course. the might not actually needed. oi course. the first treatments that we had to reduce obesity the risk of disease like heart disease also maintains a healthy lifestyle as you said, exercise, diet, stop smoking, those sorts of things actually, weight loss is really difficult

for some people. these drugs represent a real breakthrough in a potential to help people lose weight in a way that is beneficial in and of itself. the real prize will come if we can illustrate that these drugs on top of the original therapies we have for the diseases and add to our potential to help them in reducing heart attacks, strokes in patients as well. if that is the case there will be a tremendous potential demand for these, we�*re going to have to try to figure out how we can produce enough of these drugs and make them available and then make sure we�*re giving them to the right people, the right patients.— them to the right people, the right patients. thank you very much for talking _ right patients. thank you very much for talking to _ right patients. thank you very much for talking to us. - in the past hour it�*s been confirmed that the american rapper and broadcast personality fatman scoop has died after collapsing on stage in connecticut. the cause of his death isn�*t yet known. known for his booming voice

jonathan brown is the chief executive of the society of ticket agents and retailers. he talked to me about the frenzy surrounding the band�*s reunion tour. true is we�*ve got a huge amount of demand, a huge amount of demand for these tickets with limited supply. a huge amount of emotion around that as well. a lot of people, you know, desperate to get tickets for these events and that will swamp people�*s websites, but they will manage through that queue. you know, they will manage through it. people are queuing. people are buying tickets. it�*s not as though people aren�*t buying tickets, but it will be frustrating simply because there are just too many people. what can you do to maximise your chances of getting a ticket? um, to follow the instructions. so, you know, people who have reported being chucked out and things like that, it may be that they�*ve got things like vpns, virtual private networks running on their computers. it may be that they�*ve not cleared their cookies, it may be that they�*re refreshing their browsers and doing all the things that they�*re advised not to do.

because what we do know is that there�*s a, you know, there is a problem with what�*s called bots, which go in and buy tickets automatically and measures in place to help resist those. so if you end up looking a little bit like a bot because you�*re taking similar activity, then, um, you know, it�*s possible that you�*re going to get blocked, which is unfortunate, but those provisions are there to stop people being able to sort of rip those tickets into the secondary market, into those, uh, sort of headline prices that we�*ve seen today, you know, with prices tickets listed for, £6,000 and silly things like that. but what we want, of course, is for fans to get tickets. fans need to get tickets for the event they want, but there aren�*t enough to go around. briefly, then, um, what can be done to stop the reselling? well, the government has certainly, um, committed

to looking into this and opening a consultation later in the autumn, um, to look at what the best things to do are. lots of people have looked at it in the past, but it may be that a cap on the amount that tickets can be resold for may have to come to pass. festivals used to just be for the music fans. but now they can include everyone, even the family dog. this year is the 10th anniversary of dog fest, which is full of activities and workshops. charlotte gallagher reports from bristol. dogfest is a celebration of all things dogs. so there�*s dog competitions. there�*s, as you can see, a doggie ball pit, a doggy swimming pool. but it�*s also a celebration of what dogs do for humans. i�*m joined by chloe fuller, she�*s a tv pet expert. but you have very special dogs, don�*t you? yeah. for sure. so my dogs are assistance dogs. so i have two who are trained to help me with my disability. and here at dogfest, we do the super spaniel show, which is a show that demonstrates all of the different ways that different types of assistance dogs, so notjust mine, can help you over

the course of 24 hours. so yeah, it�*s quite special. because people obviously know about guide dogs, but they might not necessarily know about different types of assistance dogs. so what do your spaniels do for you? oh, all sorts, so they get me undressed. they put the clothes in and out of the washing machine. they can get me my shopping, they can pick up anything i drop, tidy up the house. there are all sorts of different things that dogs can do. and like you say, i think we often are aware of guide dogs, maybe even hearing dogs, but perhaps not about the rarer types of assistance dogs like mine. before you had these dogs, did you have any idea that dogs could do what they do for you? no, actually, iwas a very stubborn and independent teenager. and when i became disabled at 13, i didn�*t know how to adapt to a life with a disability. and i got a dog, mr ted here, who was a sock thief. and when i saw him running off with socks, i thought, hang on a minute, i think there�*s something in this. and so i put the sock on my foot and suddenly, because he wanted to steal it, he pulled it off my foot and i was like, voila, my dog is getting me undressed.

and we built it up from there. so did you train your dogs really as well? yeah. so in my particular case, i trained my dogs myself and then qualified them through a charity. but there�*s lots of different routes for assistance dogs, and that was just the route i took with mine. and is it something about spaniels in particular? is it the reins? yeah. i mean, i�*m only a little person, so i didn�*t need a labrador or a golden retriever. spaniels, they�*re soft. they�*re biddable. they�*re desperate to please. they want to work with you. and most of all, they want to pick things up and bring them back to you. and that is crucial for assistance dog work. so that�*s why i think spaniels are the best dog for the job. and what are you going to be doing with them today? are you going to be doing some kind of display aren�*t you? yeah. so we do the super spaniel show, which is where you see all of the different ways that they help me. but we also do agility here as well. so we show that, you know, it�*s notjust running handlers that can do agility. i demonstrate para agility here. and that�*s something that we�*re certainly hoping to do more of in 2025 with aiming

for the para agility world championships. and do you have other people getting in touch with you saying, i didn�*t know dogs could do that, i feel like that might be really helpful for me and like asking for your advice? yeah, all the time. in fact, just while we were making up, there was somebody who came over and was like, i can�*t believe it. this is going to be life changing for me. so it�*s really wonderful to be able to actually display disability in a much more positive light, in a light that is very, um, giving back of independence. because usually when we talk about disability in the media, it�*s very negative. but here, with two crazy dogs by my side, you can�*t help but smile. they are so well behaved though. i�*ve just seen this one here, it�*s just falling asleep. you�*re so beautiful. he�*s a very good boy, isn�*t he? he�*s worked very hard today. very good boy. thank you so much. of course. thank you. so, like i said, a celebration of dogs. but also what dogs can do for people here at dogfest. you might have heard the story this week of a four—year—old boy who accidentally smashed an ancient vase during a trip to a museum. here�*s how the three—and—a—half—thousand—year old pottery looked after ariel geller tipped it over at the hecht museum, in the israeli city of haifa.

well, you might not believe this, but they�*ve invited him back. ariel — seen here in a blue cap, with his hand being firmly held by mum — was given a guided tour with his family. the museum�*s curators — who try to display artefacts as openly as possible — wanted to reassure ariel that they understand he didn�*t do it on purpose. they will glue it back together. it will all be fine. this is bbc news. hello there. it�*s been a glorious sunny start for most of us to begin this weekend. however, it�*s not the same for everyone. we do have more cloud around southern and eastern areas, and through the weekend i think we�*ll start to see increasing chance of heavy showers and thunderstorms, particularly across england and wales. but it�*s been a glorious start today, like i mentioned. here�*s a beautiful scene from conwy in north wales. big contrast, though, to cloudier, leaden skies across east anglia and the south east. it�*s because we�*re drawing this cloud off the north sea on a fairly brisk easterly breeze across southern areas, whereas further north, we�*re into the sunny blue skies. so for the rest of the day it does look like it�*s going to stay rather cloudy across the south and southeast.

maybe a few showers starting to push up from the near continent later in the day. but a warm one to come further north with all the sunshine, low 20s for glasgow. low 20s as well for parts of wales, northwest england. now, through this evening and overnight the cloud starts to drift northwards, start to import some humid air from southern areas and that will increase the chance of some heavy showers or thunderstorm — hit and miss showers, not everyone will get them. but you can see we�*re importing this warm and humid air from the near continent. so quite a muggy night to come for england and wales to start. sunday could be no lower than 16 or 17 degrees in the southeast. so we start off with a bit more cloud across england and wales for sunday. best of the sunshine towards the north west. but even here the cloud tends to build. there�*s a chance of seeing some heavy showers and thunderstorms becoming more widespread across parts of england and wales. hit and miss showers, not everyone will get one and there�*s a question mark to the extent of these showers could be a bit further north, could be a bit further westwards. a warm and humid day to come across central and southern and eastern areas,

a little bit fresher further north. for monday, we have a weak area of low pressure across the country. a couple of weather fronts that will enhance shower and thunderstorm activity, could see some showers and storms across eastern areas. another one in towards the west. again, a bit of a question mark, some uncertainty to the details of monday. have to stay tuned, but could see some sunny spells across the southeast corner and again across the far east, we could be into the high 20s. so again, quite warm here, but generally high teens, low 20s elsewhere with more cloud and showers around. i think as we run through the week, though, conditions begin to improve. we lose the shower and thunderstorms early on, and then high pressure might build back in for the end of the week to settle things down with increasing amounts of sunshine. but stay tuned.
