this is bbc news. the headlines at six... leaked documents reveal how some uk banks have allowed criminals and money launderers to move billions of pounds around the world. the government says the country is at a tipping point, as it prepares to introduce tough new fines for anyone in england who is told to self—isolate but fails to. if everybody follows the rules then we can avoid further national lockdowns. but we of course have to be prepared to take action if that is what is necessary. the labour leader says sorting out the problems with testing should be ministers‘ top priority. if i was the prime minister, i would apologise for the fact that we are in this situation with testing. throughout the summer, we were saying prepare for the autumn.
6:01 pm
instead we had the exams fiasco. and a fly—past over central london marks the 80th anniversary of the battle of britain, following a memorial service at westminster abbey. hello and welcome to bbc news. i am rebecca jones. leaked documents have revealed how some of the uk's best known banks have allowed criminals, money launderers and sanctioned russians to move dirty money around the world. the secret banking reports also show how major high street banks have failed to stop crime when they suspect it. they show that london is a hub for money laundering — with billions of dollars of suspected dirty money moving through the financial system.
6:02 pm
the documents — known as the fincen files — were leaked to buzzfeed news and shared with the bbc by the international consortium of investigativejournalists. richard bilton reports. most of his body was submerged under water... the files show the reality of fraud. it can be a messy business. he was bound, he had coverings over his face, we knew that he was deceased. this man's body was found in a vineyard, and this is the dream that cost him his life. he was taken in by a scam. to make money, he needed to recruit other investors. when they lost money connor, he was murdered. he was a victim in a scheme, he was a victim ina was a victim in a scheme, he was a victim in a homicide, just a true
6:03 pm
victim. thousands lost money in the scam. the fraudsters stole $80 million. we have discovered that britain's biggest bank help them get away with it. hsbc allowed the fraudsters to move the stolen cash around the world even after the bank had been told it was a scam. the us pa rt had been told it was a scam. the us part of the bank said it was... but hsbc did not tell the regulator is that those accounts were in another country. the bank then carried on moving more than $30 million of stolen cash from the uk and us to the fraudsters hsbc accou nts and us to the fraudsters hsbc accounts in hong kong. they had the information, they sat on it. that is when they were just as guilty as the fraudsters in perpetuating the scheme. they knew about it and did nothing. hsbc did not comment on the
6:04 pm
fraud case but said it has been on a multi—year journey to overhaul fraud case but said it has been on a multi—yearjourney to overhaul its ability to combat financial crime. but the files show the secret story. banks but the files show the secret story. ba n ks ofte n but the files show the secret story. banks often do not stop crime and suspect behaviour. the leak is of suspicious activity reports. what banks have to tell the authorities if they think their clients may be up if they think their clients may be up to no good. these documents contain some of the banking system's most closely guarded secrets. the suspicions big banks have about their wealthiest clients. they show how the system has failed to stop criminals from plundering their cash. because banks have to send the reports, but they do not always act on them. this is unprecedented and remarkable leak that tells us, as never before, what the banks know about suspicious money movements. there has never been a week like it
6:05 pm
before. the secret report showed the way banks have really been behaving. placing the uk at the heart of global money—laundering. richard nelson, bbc news. let's speak to our economics correspondent andy verity. we were hearing about hsbc there — but they had already been in trouble, hadn't they? when this was happening, they were sort of on probation. in 2012, july 2012, a senate committee punt published a devastating report about hsbc, saying it was being used as a conduit for drug kingpins and rogue nations. specifically, the spectacular failures of oversight had led the bank to permit drug traffickers to launder $881 million of drug money, notjust any drug traffickers either, this was a drug cartel made famous in the netflix series l chapel. a really serious problem. they just series l chapel. a really serious problem. theyjust got a prop prosecution for that. in 2016,
6:06 pm
george osborne, the then chancellor had intervened on their behalf, seeking to help them avoid criminal prosecution, saying that if they we re prosecution, saying that if they were prosecuted, it might present threats to financial stability. as a result, they had a deferred prosecution instead. a five year probation period where they had to keep their nose clean. yet, we found out from this week that the stuff was going on in that period. and i write, there is a lot more to this than one bank? your mac hsbc is by no means the only bank singled out here. spacious activity reports from banks around the world. they are obliged under anti—money—laundering regulations to say when they see any sign of suspicious activity when they do not know when the money is coming from. unfortunately, the uk does appear to be at the centre of this. more than 3000 companies in the suspicious activity reports are british companies. that's more than any other country. we have a problem here, as well, with anonymity. the way things are, you can set up
6:07 pm
companies here quite easily nominate someone companies here quite easily nominate someone else is the director and hydro control of that money. in some cases, you've got a counselling turnover is £23,000 and hundreds of millions of dollars are passing through these same companies. there is growing calls for the government to do something about our lax money—laundering controls. especially when we know from the files that a secret us intelligence report has described us as a high—riskjurisdiction on the same level as cyprus. not may be what we are used to. thank you. let's speak about this further with tom keatinge — director of the centre for financial crime and security studies at rusi and briefed on the broad outlines of the fincen story. he was an investment banker atjp morgan for 20 years, so has a lot of expertise. thank you for your time and for joining us. as someone, as i say, with two decades of experience in banking, what do these leaked
6:08 pm
documents tell you about our ability to fight money—laundering? documents tell you about our ability to fight money-laundering? the suspicious activity report regime is the fundamental pillar on which anti—money laundering efforts are meant to be founded and it was created 25 years ago, and in many ways we are still using the same system as we had 25 years ago. the problem is that there you and i can tra nsfer problem is that there you and i can transfer money at the tap of a nap, but the system was created when it took four or five days to transfer money around the world, so there was time for banks to study whose money is going where. nowadays, that is very challenging. what constitutes suspicious activity? there are a whole range of reasons. if you go home this evening and you send £9,000 to three different friends, that might be suspicious. why did you do three £9,000 transactions in half an hour? maybe it is money coming to you from a company where
6:09 pm
the ownership is not clear. there area the ownership is not clear. there are a huge array of reasons that a bank might consider something suspicious, but it is only suspicious, but it is only suspicious and herein lies the problem. the banks then fail that with the financial intelligence unit, the national crime agency in the uk. and what is the agency meant to do with that deluge of data it is receiving. we do not have the systems to respond to the date on the banks are failing, if indeed they do file the right data. that is interesting you use the poor deluge they are. because i was going to ask you what does this tell us about the regulatory system and how capable it is dealing with the problem? they receive half a million suspicious activity reports every year, and so i think we have to continue asking, as the government is doing, questions about our ability to deal with that level of data. it is not just the uk, of course. uk is a global financial centre, we have a global financial centre, we have a
6:10 pm
global responsibility, notjust domestically, and honestly it remains the case that our ability to shoulder that burden, as at amount about the us indicates, our ability to shoulder that burden is substandard. how would you expect a law enforcement agencies to use these suspicious activity reports? there are two ways. if one comes in and it is like terrorism, you would expect them to respond immediately. 0r expect them to respond immediately. or perhaps human trafficking, respond immediately. but otherwise they get filed away in a database with millions of other reports. in the uk, police forces can query the database as the uk, police forces can query the data base as part the uk, police forces can query the database as part of an investigation into some future criminal case that they are looking at. it serves... it should serve both an immediate flag and also a useful database for future use, but the extent to which the system is used effectively, not just in the uk but around the world, has to be open to question. the one
6:11 pm
thing i hope about this leak is that we finally get a grip of a system which, as i say, was built in the 19805 which, as i say, was built in the 1980s and 1990s and simply does not work, is not fit for purpose in the zist work, is not fit for purpose in the 21st century. why does it appear that the uk is so vulnerable and what can be done about that? the uk is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, financial centre in the world. inevitably, a lot of money flows through the uk and the way that it does. secondly, the uk has big global banks, it has excellent law firms, it has real estate to invest your money on. i like to put it this way, if you go to the money—laundering superstore, you head straight for the the uk because you can get all the tools you could possibly need there. and we do have some lax systems. it has been called to be reformed, and that consultation, the details of that consultation, the details of that consultation were just published at the end of last week. we have a long
6:12 pm
way to go, and fundamentally in the uk, we are trying to make up for a couple of decades of underinvestment. you cannot do that overnight, however hard you try. we have got to leave it there, but really good to hear your thoughts and insights. thank you for your time. and you can find out more about this story, that's in panorama s banking secrets of the rich and powerful at 7 o'clock tomorrow night. the health secretary matt hancock says further national lockdowns cannot be ruled out if people fail to follow the rules on tackling coronavirus. he was speaking amid growing concern at the rise in the number of infections in the uk. yesterday, fines of up to £10,000 were announced for those who repeatedly fail to self—isolate if they test positive. labour said the government's test and trace system was ‘near collapse'. 0ur political correspondent jonathan blake reports.
6:13 pm
rules and restrictions are everywhere to see, but there is concern too many people are ignoring the advice and coronavirus cases are rising as a result. now ministers believe it is time to get tougher. the health secretary, matt hancock, warned the country is at a tipping point. if everybody follows the rules, then we can avoid further national lockdowns, but we, of course, have to be prepared to take action, if that's what is necessary. so we might be facing a further national lockdown if people don't obey the rules? that's exactly right. i don't rule it out, i don't want to see it. in england, anyone who tests positive for covid—19, or is found to have had close contact with someone who has, will be legally required to self—isolate. a £500 payment will be available for those on benefits, and fines of up to £10,000 for those who break the rules. we have all got a responsibility really, to make sure
6:14 pm
that we don't spread the virus. and the people going out of their way to ignore the guidelines, i think it is quite fair and proper that they should get punished quite severely for that. i think the rules now are really, really complex, and it's hard to find out if you have been in touch with somebody who might be positive, should you be staying in, should you be isolating? it's not easy. we looked them up the other day and it's not easy to understand what you should be doing. ministers have been accused of mixed messages on whether people should report neighbours that they see breaking the rules. the health secretary was asked if he would call the police. yes, and for the self—isolation part, that is absolutely necessary, because that is how we break the chains of transmission. the test and trace system is crucial to slowing the spread of coronavirus, but recently it has struggled to meet demand, and labour say the public is owed an apology. whatever measure the government takes, we will support it.
6:15 pm
if i was the prime minister, i would apologise for the fact that we are in this situation with testing. throughout the summer, we were saying prepare for the autumn. instead we had the exams fiasco. i would make fixing testing the number one priority, and reinstate the daily press conferences, so we all know what is going on. persuading people to change their behaviour may make a difference, but, if cases continue to rise, ministers will have no choice but to act. jonathan blake, bbc news. the latest government figures show there have been 3,899 positive coronavirus tests in the uk in the latest 2a hour period, bringing the total number of cases to 39a,257. 18 additional deaths have been reported of those who have died within 28 days of a positive covid—19 test. that brings the total number
6:16 pm
across the uk, to 41,777. in a moment, viewers on bbc one willjoin us for a round up of the news with mishal husain, but first... a memorial service marking 80 years since the battle of britain has been held at westminster abbey. the battle was a dramatic turning point in world war ii when 1500 pilots and aircrew lost their lives fighting the german airforce. today's service was the abbey's first major event since lockdown although fewer than 100 guests attended. sarah campbell reports. sir winston churchill famously called the young pilots "the few", and the stakes couldn't have been higher back in 1940. archive newsreel: hurricanes and spitfires roar into action. it was the first time a pivotal military battle was fought in the air. the nazis' plan to overwhelm the allied air defences and then launch a land invasion. their plan failed. today, the prime minister arrived
6:17 pm
at westminster abbey to remember the sacrifices made, along with the leader of the opposition, all in masks, in this, the first major service to have taken place at the abbey since lockdown began in march. usually, 2,000 people attend the service of remembrance which has been held here every year since 19114. not so this year due to the pandemic. just one of the few is still alive, but their legacy and what they achieved against the odds lives on. some events, some people are not just significant, they are pivotal. the battle of britain was one of those pivotal events, and likewise, those who served in it, ourfriends from other nations, those working on the ground, ourfamilies at home, every one of them. escorted by raf cadets,
6:18 pm
the battle of britain roll of honour, bearing the names of the 1,497 pilots and aircrew killed in what would be seen as a turning point in the course of the war. last post plays as the service ended, a fly—past above london. the heroism of those who took to the skies 80 years ago remembered. sarah campbell, bbc news.
6:20 pm
a warning that the government will get tougher if people don't keep to the latest coronavirus restrictions. ministers and officials have been weighing up whether further measures are required, as thousands more cases are recorded. we of course have to be prepared to take action if that is what is necessary. i don't think a lockdown is inevitable. i think it is now more likely because of the near collapse of testing. we'll look at why the government believes we're at a tipping point in the pandemic. also this evening. leaked documents reveal how some uk banks have allowed criminals and money launderers to move billions of pounds around the world. and spitfires and a hurricane over london, as the battle of britain is remembered, 80 years on.
6:21 pm
good evening. the health secretary matt hancock says further national lockdowns cannot be ruled out if people fail to follow the rules on tackling coronavirus. fines of up to £10,000 have been announced for those who don't self—isolate if they test positive, or those who are told they have been identified as a close contact of someone who has tested positive. labour has said the government's test and trace system is "near collapse". 0ur political correspondent iain watson reports. when it comes to complying with rules and restrictions, the government says we are more lax than some of our continental counterparts, so as coronavirus cases increase, expect to hear tougher messages on enforcement.
6:22 pm
the health secretary says we are at tipping point. if everybody follows the rules then we can avoid further national lockdowns, but of course, we have to be prepared to take action if that is what is necessary. so we might be facing a further national lockdown if people don't obey the rules? that is exactly right. i don't rule it out. i don't want to see it. in just over a week from now on england, if you don't self—isolate when you should, you could face an initial fine of £1000, and up to £10,000. the health secretary says we should tell the police if we see rule breakers but in london, not everyone will take that advice. that whole thing of telling on your neighbour, i think, breaking up community is the last thing that should be encouraged. if there is a hefty fine in place or something like that, people would maybe toe the line a bit better. this weekend, the prime minister is under pressure from medical and scientific advisers to take
6:23 pm
stronger, swifter action to slow the spread of the virus. the prime minister has been in top—level meetings to discuss his options, but he is also under pressure from his next—door neighbour, the chancellor, who does not want to see a fragile economic recovery killed off. so it is likely that we will see new, temporary measures across england, but that these will also fall far short of a full national lockdown. while schools and workplaces are likely to remain open, some of the restrictions imposed in local lockdowns seem set to spread across england. at the 212 cafe and bar in leeds, there is no enthusiasm for a possible curfew. put a ten o'clock curfew, most bars will probably decide not to open back up because the trade won't be worth it for the late night venues. but also, it could work in a different way where all of the students and people go out through the day, the bars take the same amount of money but obviously, it willjust cause trouble through the day rather than the night. labour say they will
6:24 pm
support whatever new steps the government takes, but... if i was the prime minister, i would apologise for the fact that we are in this situation with testing. throughout the summer, we were saying, prepare for the autumn. instead, we had the exams fiasco. i would make fixing testing the number one priority and reinstate the daily press conferences so we all know what is going on. the prime minister will upset some of his own mps if he introduces further restrictions. he is looking at a range of options, but doing nothing does not seem to be one of them. iain watson, bbc news. the latest government figures show the daily number of new infections remains high with 3,899 cases recorded for the previous 24 hours. that means the average number of new cases per day in the last week was 3,679. the daily hospital numbers have also risen. 233 people were admitted on september 18th. this figure doesn't
6:25 pm
include scotland. there were 18 deaths of people who'd had a positive covid—19 test in the previous 28 days. on average in the last week, there were 21 such deaths per day, taking the total number across the uk to 41,777. meanwhile, ministers are closely watching covid cases elsewhere in europe and the measures taken in other countries. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. before this year, pictures like this mostly belong to science fiction films, not the news, but over the spring time, we got used to seeing health workers wearing protective equipment to care for coronavirus patients in intensive care. this footage, though, is from a few days ago in france. in spain, this neighbourhood of madrid and many others will go back into lockdown tomorrow. people are concerned. i
6:26 pm
think there is an awareness or a realisation that we relaxed too much, as many other countries did. the question is, how do we compare to other countries across europe? 0ver to other countries across europe? over the last fortnight, if you look at cases for every 100,000 people, spain is on the highest at around 300. france is approaching 200. belgium and the netherlands are just over 100 and we are lower than that on 69 cases for every 100,000 people. but other countries are much lower still. italy, people. but other countries are much lowerstill. italy, sweden and germany are all around 30, and cyprus is just under ten. germany are all around 30, and cyprus isjust under ten. so germany are all around 30, and cyprus is just under ten. so the germany are all around 30, and cyprus isjust under ten. so the uk is that neither extreme but the government is still watching the trends. i am not in this for a popularity contest. i am in this to keep the country safe. the concern is, as cases start to rise, that will be followed by an increase in deaths, too. let's again take spain as an example. you can see that cases started to rise more sharply since the start of last month. there is an uptick in deaths, too, but it is an uptick in deaths, too, but it
6:27 pm
is much more gradual at this point. so far in the uk, the number of deaths being reported is still relatively low. but there tends to bea relatively low. but there tends to be a two or three week lag in the worst cases, from somebody getting infected, slowly getting more sick, to eventually dying. empty streets in antwerp after a curfew was brought in this summer. the government likes to point to belgium asa government likes to point to belgium as a more hopeful comparison, and stricter measures did seem to work there. but numbers are now starting to rise. we should not seize one particular country but we should apply best practice from a number of different places. the key thing is we need to act now. we need to take action to reduce social mixing and introduce other measures to avoid more avoidable deaths in the weeks and months to come. right now, just as in the spring, we are potentially as in the spring, we are potentially a few weeks behind other countries with growing outbreaks in europe. the hope is that this time, we have learned the lessons about how not to follow in their footsteps. catherine

burns, bbc news. leaked documents have revealed how some uk banks have helped criminals, money launderers and russians under sanctions, and have also failed to stop crime when they suspected it. the documents known as the fincen files were leaked to buzzfeed news and shared with the bbc by the international consortium of investigativejournalists. they indicate that london is a hub for money laundering, with billions of pounds worth of suspected dirty money moving through the system. richard bilton reports. most of his body was submerged under water. the files show the reality of fraud. it can be a messy business. he was bound. he had coverings over his face. you knew that he was deceased. raymond's body was found in a vineyard, and this is the dream that cost him his life. world capital market is managed by a team of experts...

he was taken in by a scam. to make money, he needed to recruit other investors. when they lost money, he was murdered. ..asia and europe... he was a victim in a scheme. he was a victim in a homicide. just a true, true victim. thousands lost money in the scam. the fraudsters stole $80 million. we have discovered that britain's biggest bank helped them get away with it. hsbc allowed the fraudsters to move the stolen cash around the world, even after the bank had been told it was a scam. the us part of the bank said it was unable to locate any accounts with the information stated on the subpoena. what hsbc did not tell the regulator is that those accounts were in another country. the bank then carried on moving more than $30 million of stolen cash from the uk and us to the fraudsters' hsbc accounts in hong kong. so they had the information.
6:30 pm
they sat on it. that is when they were just as guilty as the fraudsters in perpetuating the scheme. they knew about it and did nothing about it. hsbc did not comment on the fraud case but said it has been on a multi—yearjourney to overhaul its ability to combat financial crime. but the files show the secret story is that banks often don't stop crime and suspect behaviour. the leak is of suspicious activity reports — what banks have to tell the authorities if they think their clients may be up to no good. these documents contain some of the banking system's most closely guarded secrets — the suspicions big banks have about their wealthiest clients. and they show how the system has failed to stop criminals from laundering their cash. because banks have to send the reports but they don't always act on them.

champions liverpool have beaten chelsea 2—0. earlier, newcastle united lost to brighton. and in the early kick—off, tottenham hotspur — without new signing gareth bale — beat southampton 5—2. andy swiss reports. if this morning's headlines were all about their new number nine, tomorrow's will be about their stunning number seven. who needs gareth bale when you have got son heung—min? with bale unavailable until october, tottenham had to find other inspiration, but at first, they struggled. southampton taking the lead through danny ings. 0n the brink of half—time, though, harry kane found son, and their dazzling double act was up and running. after the break, the pair ran riot. kane once again to son, and spurs were ahead, as southampton were swept away in increasingly familiar style. it is son and it is three for tottenham! son coolly completing his hat—trick, and guess what? they only went and did it again. four passes from kane, four goals for son. rarely has a partnership
6:33 pm
achieved such perfection. kane eventually got on the scoresheet himself. how he had deserved it. and with bale waiting in the wings, spurs will be hoping the fun is onlyjust beginning. andy swiss, bbc news. it was a battle fought entirely in the air — defending the country from the luftwaffe and forcing hitler to postpone his invasion plans. the 80th anniversary of the battle of britain, in which almost 1,500 pilots and aircrew lost their lives, was marked today with a service at westminster abbey, its first major event since lockdown. sarah campbell reports. the sights and sounds of 1940 as a hurricane and three spitfires flew over london today. 80 years ago, the stakes couldn't have been higher. sir winston churchill famously called the young pilots "the few." newsreel: hurricanes and spitfires roar into action.
6:34 pm
it was the first time a major military battle was fought in the air. the nazis' plan was to overwhelm the allied air defences and then launch a full—on invasion. their plan failed. today, the prime minister arrived at westminster abbey to remember those who fought so courageously, along with the leader of the opposition, all in masks, in this, the first major service to have taken place at the abbey since lockdown began in march. fanfare. more than 2,000 people would usually attend the service of remembrance, which has been held here every year since 1944. the pandemic meant numbers were restricted to fewer than 100, with no veterans present. however, their legacy and what they achieved against the odds lives on. some events, some people, are not just significant. they are pivotal. the battle of britain was one
6:35 pm
of those pivotal events, and likewise, those who served in it, ourfriends from other nations, those working on the ground, our families at home, every one of them. carried through the abbey, the battle of britain roll of honour, which bears the names of the 1,497 pilots and aircrew who made the ultimate sacrifice. last post plays. as the service ended, the raf‘s aerial tribute. the heroism of those who took to the skies 80 years ago remembered. sarah campbell, bbc news. there's more throughout the evening on the bbc news channel. we're back with the late news at ten. now on bbc one, it's time
6:36 pm
for the news where you are. goodbye. good evening, it's 6:30pm and here's your latest sports news. liverpool have made it back to back wins at the start of the season with a 2—0 win over chelsea this afternoon at stamford bridge. two goals from sadio mane sealed all three points for the reigning champions, with a missed penalty for the home side not helping their cause. alex gulrajani was watching. no animosity here, the last time juergen klopp and frank lampard met, liverpool were celebrating their premier league title. chelsea want to be challenging them this year, and new striker will be key to that. off and new striker will be key to that. off target here though, unlike this pa rs off target here though, unlike this pars from liverpool captain jordan henderson, causing all sorts of problem or questions on. the card
6:37 pm
upgraded after the intervention of the ar, chelsea down to ten. it did not take long for liverpool to take advantage. four minutes into the second half and mane had put them ahead. he second came quickly after and it was a far simpler finish. chelsea's goalkeeper may be the most expensive, but it is rather telling the club want another one, time for a rethink and a gift, penalty chelsea. jorginho hadn't missed once its return to london, with time for both. the camp is well again, the celebrations though are saved for now. after a busy couple of days in the transfer market, tottenham have delivered the goods on the pitch today. son heung—min scored four times as spurs thrashed southampton 5—2 to claim their first premier league win of the season. adam wild was watching the action. in the south coast sunshine,
6:38 pm
no sign of spurs star signing gareth bale, not ready for their game at southampton. for much of the first half, his new team—mates looked rather ill—prepared as well. danny ings putting saints ahead, spurs were poor. but before the break, son had level. a brilliant goal and a glimpse of what was to come. the second halfjust moments old, son had another, spurs ahead, whichever way you looked at it it was perhaps more than they deserved. but this was now becoming something special. son put through again and his hat—trick was inevitable. a brilliant performance by harry kane whose cross set up yet another. son running out of fingers to count them on, that was his fourth. with spurs firmly in control, he eventually let someone else have a go. kane adding another. 5—2 the final score. so who needs bale in the sun, when you have son to bail you out?
6:39 pm
so four goals for the first time in his career, son heung—min got the match ball but manager jose mourinho had his own ideas about who should get man of the match. man of the match, harry kane. laughter yeah, i will say that. if it comes from the boss you can't argue, can you? i would say harry is the man of the match because he scored one goal and gave a few assists, and with harry we are working together so long, this is the sixth season and we know each other well and we have a good relationship on the pitch and even off the pitch. elsewhere this afternoon there was a good win for brighton away at newcastle. graham potter's side were two up after six minutes. both those goals coming from neal maupay. aaron connolly added a third in the closing stages although brighton had to finish the game with ten men after yves bissouma was sent off for this reckless high foot. but 3—0 it finished at st james park.
6:40 pm
