this is bbc news with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. i'm maryam moshiri. already known to the intelligence services, the suspect in the multiple stabbings in britain. a big spike in the virus reproduction number in germany following two localised outbreaks. president trump's team rejects claims that a social media campaign reduced the turnout for his election rally. and questions about numbers in india: health workers tell the bbc that virus infection statistics are being deliberately minimised.

british police have been giving details of the man they've arrested over an attack that saw three people stabbed to death in a park in reading, some 60 kilometres from london. their suspect has been named as khairi saadallah. security sources have told the bbc that he was on their radar, having come to their attention in 2019. that happened after they received information that he hoped to travel abroad potentially for terrorism. but after an investigation, it was decided that no genuine threat or immediate risk was posed, and no more action was taken. police say they are not searching for anyone else in connection with the incident. prime minister boris johnson says he was appalled and sickened by what happened. with the latest from reading, here's daniel sandford. the moment when specialist firearms officers raided a flat

in reading last night... loud bang whoa! ..just over a mile from where three people were stabbed to death in the worst police—designated terrorist attack in britain for three years. it was the home of khairi saadallah, a libyan asylum seeker with possible mental health problems, who briefly came to the attention of mi5 last year but was not considered a genuine risk or immediate threat. he's suspected of attacking groups of complete strangers enjoying a summer evening in forbury gardens, right in the town centre, at around 7:00 yesterday evening. a group of men was targeted first. he darted round anticlockwise the circle, got one, went to another, stabbed the next one, went to another, stabbed the next one. i still thought it was a scuffle, but i was watching, ‘cause i didn't want to get involved in anything. i was just watching, and then he stood up, and i saw a massive knife in his hand, probably at least

five inches minimum. and then he turned and started looking towards us, and that's when ijust started shouting, "run!" and i heard a lot of screams in the park and a lot of people realised and started running away. one of those killed was 36—year—old james furlong. his parents said tonight he was a wonderful man who would live in their hearts forever. he was head of history at the holt school in wokingham, who was in the park with friends, which wrote in a letter to parents the school, "james was a very kind and gentle man. he had a real sense of duty and cared for each and every one of our students. words cannot describe our sadness at this time." i'm appalled and sickened that people should lose their lives in this way. if there are lessons that we need to learn about how we handle such cases, how we handle the events leading up to such cases, then we will learn those lessons. this morning, as a huge investigation got under way, police formally declared it as a terrorist attack, though detectives think

their suspect was acting alone. from our inquiries undertaken so far, officers have found nothing to suggest there was anyone else involved in this attack, and presently, we are not looking for anyone else in relation to the incident. neighbours here at the block of flats where khairi saadallah lived have told us that he had caused problems in the past. he once threw a tv out of the top—floor window, and he was regularly visited by a mental health key worker. kieran vernon told me that the man he knew showed no signs of extremism or violence and had rather been someone to smoke cannabis with. he seemed like me or you. whenever you used met up, we used to all talk about drinking whisky and how different ganja affects different thinking of mind, like, some makes you sleepy, some makes you happy or grumpy and stuff like that. and that's pretty all we'd chat about. that is pretty much it. and sometimes the odd women or two walk by and... just a normal, genuine guy. as the bodies were taken for postmortem examinations,

their families remembered three much—loved men. and as darkness fell, the police continue the meticulous counter—terrorism investigation into the savage attack in which the three friends died. daniel sandford, bbc news, reading. in germany, the health authorities have reported that the reproduction number of the coronavirus — that's the number of people that on average one person infects — has spiked. the rise has been fuelled by localised outbreaks of covid—i9 in a meat processing factory in the north—west of the country. 0ur correspondent damien mcguinness has more. so it has been rising quite rapidly over the last few days. so, for weeks, really, the r rate, that reproduction number was below one, which meant that the virus was not spreading faster. now, over the past few days, it has been rising quite drastically. now, the r rate is at 2.88.

what that means is that each infected person could, on average, potentially spread the virus to almost three people. that means that the virus could be spreading. however, we have to have a voice of caution here because what officials are saying is that this does not necessarily mean that suddenly in germany there is a big spike in infections or a nationwide increase in infections. this relates, really, to a number of local incidents in specific cases. for example, a very big outbreak in a meat processing factory, more than a thousand people have been affected. another quite major outbreak in a city block here in berlin where 700 households have been quarantined, almost 100 people there are infected. we've had a number of these cases across the country and what's happened is that these quite large cases, quite serious cases, have really impacted the figures. what doesn't seem to have happened so far is that these

cases have spread nationwide or gone into the broader community, because authorities have acted pretty drastically and quickly, put the affected people into quarantine to stop any spread. so although these are serious cases and it is a worrying number, it doesn't necessarily mean a sudden spike or a second wave, so we have to treated with caution. germany has been one of the most effective countries against coronavirus. the death toll has been relatively low here, still in the eight thousand, 8800 now. each debt is of course a tragedy, but when you look at the figures, like 30,000 people, that is much lower, much lower in britain where it is 40,000. the death toll is relatively low, the infection rate here in this very large country is still very large country is still very low impaired again to other countries. the figures are still relatively positive in germany. it does point to the fact that even when the

overall picture is quite positive, you can still have these localised outbreaks. what we are seeing here in germany is the authorities have acted so is the authorities have acted so far very effectively, and if the outbreaks remain local, it does mean that so far we can prevent a second wave. it is cause for concern, it is worrying people because what we are seeing is certain people, are seeing is certain people, are at risk, poor accommodation, cramped accommodation, cramped accommodation, or in this meet processing plant, poor working conditions, and that seems to be one of the does. it is worrying because it is affecting certain groups in society. 0n the question is, how do you deal with this? the quarantine measures, it is pretty severe, fences going up around people's houses. it is not a long—term solution. it is quite worrying. again, it doesn't necessarily point to a second wave of infections just yet. let's get some of the day's other news. brazil is now the nation with the second—highest number

of confirmed deaths from covid—i9 in the world. latest figures put the total number of people who've died in brazil atjust over 50,000. only the us has more. the country has also recorded more thani million infections. three pedestrians have died in a road accident in cumbria in northern england. they were struck by a car in the town of dalton. the driver, a 47—year—old local man, has been arrested on suspicion of three counts of causing death by dangerous driving, and being over the alcohol limit. serbia's president has claimed a historic landslide victory in his country's parliamentary election. his ruling serbian progressive party is expected to win more than 60% of the vote. some opposition parties boycotted the poll, claiming that the conditions for a free election did not exist. serbia's is europe's first national election since the coronavirus pandemic. people in a band stretching from west africa to east asia were treated to a wonder

of the solar system on sunday, a solar eclipse. this is a view of the sun filmed using a special camera in hong kong. the moon and sun did not quite line up completely, meaning a crescent of light still shone through. president trump has held his first election campaign rally since the start of america's coronavirus lockdown. earlier in the week, he'd said almost a million people wanted to attend the event in oklahoma, but last night, large sections of the 19,000—seat venue were empty. 0ur north america editor jon sopel reports. look at donald trump's face as the door on air force one opens. is he happy to be back on the road again? he's delighted. but he'd have been less than thrilled by what he saw at the venue. he'd said in the week that a million had signed up for tickets, but the overflow was empty,

and inside, acres of empty seats. the arena has a capacity of 19,000. the fire marshal today confirmed there were only 6,200 present. i stand before you today to declare the silent majority is stronger than ever before. more like the absent majority. despite speaking for over 1.5 hours, not once did he mention george floyd or the police brutality that led to his death. instead, he focused on the protesters, and how his 2020 rival, joe biden, would be in their pocket. when the chips are down, biden will always cave to the radical left. he'll always bow to the angry mob and he will never protect you or yourfamily, and you know that. there was no attempt at social distancing in this indoor arena and hardly anyone wore a mask. coronavirus is going up in many us states, like 0klahoma,

for which the president had an answer. when you do testing to that extent, you're going to find more people, you're going to find more cases. so i said to my people, "slow the testing down, please!" a weary looking donald trump arrived back at the white house in the small hours of this morning, looking dishevelled and quite possibly disgruntled. the joy from the start of the day long gone. in politics, the art is to underpromise and overdeliver. but donald trump predicted a million and only got a few thousand. he said it would be safe and six of his campaign staffers have contracted coronavirus. and his comments about slowing down testing later had to be clarified by the white house as a joke. this is not the relaunch that donald trump wanted. jon sopel, bbc news, washington. stay with us on bbc news. still to come: saudi arabia reopens mosques in mecca, but there's still no word on whether the hajj will go ahead.

members of the neo—nazi resistance movement stormed the world trade center armed with pistols and shotguns. we believe that, according to international law, that we have a rightful claim in certain parts of this country as our land. i take pride in the words "ich bin ein berliner." the "ich bin ein berliner." uk work up to the news it is the uk work up to the news it is to exit the uk, they began celebrating. 17.4 million people voted for the uk had to leave the eu. the medical research council say the great increase in lung cancer is due mainly to smoking tobacco.

it was closing time for checkpoint charlie, which, for 29 years, has stood on the border as a mark of allied determination to defend the city. this is bbc news. the latest headlines: police in britain have said they are treating the fatal stabbing of three people in a park in the city of reading on friday night as terror—related. the suspect was known to the intelligence services. extra police officers have been sent to a tower block in germany to help enforce a quarantine that was placed on the building last week to contain a coronavirus outbreak. india has the world's fourth—highest number of confirmed cases, more than 400,000 infections and over 13,000 deaths. that stabbing happened on friday night, not saturday night. but some frontline healthcare workers have told the bbc that the number of fatalities in the country has been under—reported. 0ur correspondent in mumbai,

yogita limaye, reports. they're always on the go now. for decades, jitender singh shunty has been carrying the dead from hospitals to crematoriums in delhi. but, as india battles the coronavirus pandemic, he says they're witnessing an unprecedented situation. "i've not seen such a scary period in my life. "we used to transport about five bodies a day for cremation, but now, that's increased to 25. "the situation in delhi is really bad," he says. from the country's graveyards, crematoriums and hospitals, there are accounts that the real number of people who've died of coronavirus is higher than official data. front—line doctors from different parts of india have told the bbc there are many

who are not being counted. they didn't want to be identified, fearing reprisal from the government. there is a massive underreporting in delhi. in our isolation ward, 45 people have died in the past three weeks, out of which only seven were tested. we don't know if they had covid or not, but they definitely showed the symptoms. the deaths are happening because of coronavirus, but they show the patients died of comorbidities like hypertension or diabetes. and there are other examples. 0n the left is the positive test result of a man who died in mumbai, on the right, the hospital's death certificate, which makes no mention of covid—19.

"the hospital certificate says he died of respiratory failure," says his son, who didn't want to be named. they are not alone. this week, mumbai and delhi have added hundreds of previously unreported deaths to their data. but, even so, it's mainly those who die in hospitals who are counted in official covid numbers. in india, more than half of all deaths in urban areas don't take place in hospitals. they occur at home. in rural parts, that proportion is even higher. many of these deaths are recorded with local authorities, but even during normal times, there are long delays, which are likely to be worse in the midst of a pandemic. i asked an expert who studied the reporting of deaths in india what he thought of the official numbers. so how many deaths are occurring in india is probably vastly underestimated. so if you look, for example, at the million deaths study results on how many pneumonia deaths in adults occurred, if we just relied on the records from the urban reporting areas, there is about a three to fourfold underestimation. and we think that, for covid,

it's at least that. in a vast country with many layers of government, the true scale of the toll that coronavirus is taking in india might never be known. yogita limaye, bbc news, mumbai. spain has lifted a three—month state of emergency, which means that from sunday, it has been welcoming back visitors from a number of countries. arrivals are no longer required to self—isolate for two weeks on arrival, as guy hedgecoe reports from madrid. after three months of lockdown, spain has opened up to the world again. for many, it's a huge relief. as it lifts its border restrictions, foreign visitors from most of the eu, schengen and the uk no longer have to undergo a two—week quarantine on arrival. many of those arriving at madrid airport today were foreigners who live or work in the city,

returning after three months of having to stay away. oh, i feel very special. i'm wondering whether i'm allowed to give a big hug to my family, or not. ifeel great, because i'm going to be back working like normal. i'm going to get to see my people. i haven't met anybody for three months, only by video, and i'm tired of these video calls. spain has onlyjust lifted its travel restrictions forforeigners, so the number of people arriving in the country is still very low. but the tourism industry is desperately hoping that the lifting of these measures will provide a badly needed boost for a sector which is so important for the spanish economy. this video, featuring an array of spanish celebrities, appeals to tourists to come and visit. its message being that the country is now safe. last year, spain received more than 80 million foreign visitors, but this year is different. we disinfect everything — the chairs, the seats, the tables. after every client, we have to make sure

we disinfect everything. the toilets, we have to disinfect them about every hour and a half. the hope is that, as foreigners rediscover spain, spaniards will be reacquainted with something resembling their old way of life. guy hedgecoe, bbc news, madrid. saudi arabia has lifted its nationwide curfew and reopened mosques in mecca, the holiest city in islam, after they were closed for three months due to the coronavirus pandemic. but amidst an uptick in cases, there is still no word on whether the hajj, the annual muslim pilgrimage which attracts millions, will go ahead. reged ahmad reports. markings on the floor, temperature checks and hand sanitiser — just a few social distancing rules and restrictions in mecca, as the city's places of worship, some 1,500 mosques, finally open up after three months of coronavirus lockdown.

translation: thank god. starting from fajr prayer, social distancing was implemented. masks are mandatory, and everyone has a private prayer mat. many mosques outside mecca have already reopened, but worshippers here will be relieved to be back and finally able to pray in the holiest city in islam. the country has also now lifted its nationwide curfew, with people wasting no time in taking to the streets, as restaurants and hair salons welcomed back their customers. translation: we're taking appointments, and every client comes on time. there must be a 30—minutes difference between each client, so there is no wait. but there are still some restrictions. large gatherings are not allowed, and there is a ban on international travel, too. saudi arabia has been the hardest—hit gulf state when it comes to covid—19,

and there has been a reported uptick in case numbers in recent days. that may be one of the reasons why the kingdom is yet to announce whether the much anticipated hajj pilgrimage will take place in latejuly. but, as saudis emerge from lockdown, authorities will be considering their next move, as they keep a watchful eye of the coronavirus case numbers. the impact of the pandemic has been felt very differently across the uk, and across generations. young people have been less likely to fall ill but significantly more likely to lose theirjobs and face long—term financial problems, and many of the young were already struggling with employment or burdened with student loans. amol rajan has been to rural warwickshire in central england to speak to those now rethinking their futures. deep in the heart of rural britain, these shipston young farmers ought to have been

enjoying a golden summer, savouring their freedom while on the cusp of their careers. instead, the serenity of rural warwickshire conceals the anxiety of a generation who have seen their futures delayed. ijust think people might change their careers completely. like, they might go more towards an nhs career, or evenjust the farming career. like, a job that's more worthwhile than actually focusing onjust big business, like marketing in london, or something like that. does money stress you out? it does. from being in a single—parent family, that's very stressful, especially now my mother's been furloughed. so it'sjust a bit stressful now and then. but as long as i've still got a job, that's fine, then we're all good. just emotionally, how have you found the whole experience of this pandemic? i feel like it's almost a rite of passage to take your a—levels at the end of school, and it seems weird.

when i talk, in 20 years' time, and people ask me, "what did you get in your a—levels?" "what did you do?" i will be like, "well, i did then, but i didn't actually have to sit the exams." so there's definitely, like, positives and negatives to it. a survey by the resolution foundation shows that, last month, 18—to—24—year—olds were hardest hit in employment terms. a third of them have been furloughed or lost their job or lost pay. the colleges are shut and schools are shut, so you can't actually do the learning at the moment. so, i think, if you're in a four—year apprenticeship, there's a chance it could take five, it could take six, because you have been pushed back now on the learning side, and obviously to actually pass through, you've got to qualify. the covid—19, it hasn't affected me personally, because i've still got to work. the cows have still got to be fed, the pigs have still got to be fed. it's had a really good impact at work, because our farm shop hasjust gone crazy. a lot of people, they've realised local produce, home—bred, no food miles, it's really good.

how do you feel, sort of being part of a generation that is entering an economic contraction? in terms of the economic burden on us, i think our generation has got quite a large weight of responsibility on our shoulders, and we've got to make sure that... you know, we've got a lot to pay into the system. i think we are expecting to be taxed, and i think there is a lot of money being paid out, rightly so, with heavy tax breaks on businesses and people on furlough. it is necessary and it has to be done, so i think everyone just has to play their part. it's often been said about this virus that we are all in it together. but actually, each generation is having a very different experience. older people are more likely to fall ill, and younger people, already facing exorbitant house prices or student loans, are now going to be burdened by huge new national debts as well as their own. come on, then!

raised in the shadow of a financial crisis, and now counting the cost of covid—19, like millions of others, these young people know theirfuture needs a rethink. amol rajan, bbc news, warwickshire. you can reach me on twitter. i'm @bbcmaryam. thank you for watching. goodbye. hello. i know not everyone is a fan of intense summer heat, but that's what parts of the uk are facing in the week ahead, particularly into england and wales, with soaring heat and humidity as well. all areas, though, will be turning warmer. but for scotland and northern ireland, close to low pressure, there will be atlantic air, there will be atlantic air, there be a wriggling weather front for the first half of the week. that will bring cloud and outbreaks of rain. there will be warm air, sunny spells for a time from mid week, but it is england and wales, close to high pressure, a lot of dry weather, increasing sunshine and the flow of air around that high will be coming in from the continent, a hot continent, lifting temperatures in some

spots into the low 30s, the hottest weather of the summer so hottest weather of the summer so far. this weather front will serve as a dividing line between that heat and something a bit more bearable. it will be a bit more bearable. it will be a refreshingly cool start to proceedings for monday morning. bearin proceedings for monday morning. bear in mind the nights get warmer and more humid as we go through the week. and, although a lot of us will start the day fine, there will be cloud and outbreaks of rain putting into northern ireland, into parts of scotland. not too much about reaching towards the north—east. it will stay bright, and some outbreaks of rain will affect some of us in north—west england, north and west wales, where as elsewhere in england and wales, warm sunny spells we had over the weekend. it will be a blustery day wherever you are, though, in particular through western parts of scotland and various sea coasts, of 40 mph. as for the temperatures, welcome to high teens. scotland and northern ireland low to mid 20s in the warmest and in parts of wales. to end the day, some heavier bursts of rain in england and wales at times of an tuesday. in scotland, could bea an tuesday. in scotland, could be a bit damp and drizzly through parts of north—west england and wales as tuesday begins, and it will be a

womaniser on monday night into tuesday morning. and on tuesday, this weather front is still around. scotland and northern ireland, close to that, you may well see a bit of rain at times. eastern parts of scotla nd rain at times. eastern parts of scotland could well say largely dry, with some sunny spells. they may be a damp start for parts of north—west england, north and west wales, but the rain here is going to clear away northwards, and we will get to see some sunshine around. and that will allow temperatures to head up even further and build more by the time we get to wednesday. not all of us seeing a bit of rain. in scotland and northern ireland, there will be some warmth in the sunshine. if you get to see that occasionally. but it will be largely clear in england and wales, and this is where temperatures head up into the high 20s. cardiff, birmingham, leeds, and some spots into the low 30s. but with that i humidity as well. —— higher humidity as well.

this is bbc news. the headlines: police are treating the fatal stabbing of three people in a park in reading on saturday as terror—related. intelligence service sources say officials were made aware of concerns about the 25—year—old libyan refugee last year but an investigation found there was no immediate threat. he is currently in custody. germany has seen another sharp increase in the coronavirus reproduction number. however, health officials say the rise is largely due to specific localised outbreaks. in the town of goettingen, extra police have been sent to a housing block where a number of residents have been resisting quarantine restrictions. president trump's re—election team has rejected claims that a social media campaign reduced the turnout for saturday's rally in the city of tulsa. the local fire department had said just over 6,000 people attended.
