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 will stop the seeking banquet aspect secret banking reports have showed how banks have failed to stop crime when i suspected. they show that london is a hub for money—laundering with hundreds of suspected honey laundering moving through the system. the documents known as fincen files we re documents known as fincen files were linked to buzzfeed news and shown to the bbc by the international consortium of international journalists. 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 pacheco‘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've 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 didn't 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. they sat on it. that's when they were just as guilty as the fraudsters in perpetuating the scheme. they knew about it and did nothing about it. hsbc didn't 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. this is an unprecedented and remarkable leak that tells us, as never before, what the banks know about suspicious money movements. there's never been a leak like it before. the secret reports show the way banks have really been behaving, placing the uk at the heart of global money—laundering. richard bilton, bbc news. uk finance ukfinance and uk finance and trade association for british banking has given us this statement.

anthony cormier is a investigative journalist for buzzfeed news and explains what speed did to verify them. we spent quite a bit of time reporting them out, both at buzzfeed news and among our partners and you guys at the bbc, we looked far and wide for folks who could not only verify these but give us some insight about what's happening inside the west's biggest bank. what have you done to follow—up on the information? well, we've interviewed hundreds of people, we've received thousands of other government records, inside bank records. we've made multiple freedom of information requests, we've actually gone to court in a number of cases do unearth or unseal some documents that banks and the governments would like to keep secret. this was a wide effort among 400 journalists around the world. we've seen in that extract there, richard bilton‘s report for the bbc, but what is your own central conclusion from the reporting you have done? well, the banks are

allowing companies to facilitate terror, money laundering and other financial crimes, with the full view of the american justice system, the american treasury department. what have banks been telling you when you go and talk to them about how they plan to address the concerns that you clearly have been raising for some time? they won't address them specifically because of the nature of these documents. they are not supposed to be seen by anyone in public so they've shied away from that but they do tell us that they have spent and they do spend billions and billions of dollars every year trying to tackle this sort of dark economy, this system of dirty money that swirls around the world. what kind of impact do you think this story may have on the financial industry? well, we'll see. right? we're not done yet, that's all i can say for now. but it's our expectation that stories like this generally have an impact on the public and it's our hope that we can, we have to shed light on a system that not many people recognise.

the democratic nominee for presidentjoe biden has lashed out at president trump's decision to replace the late supreme courtjustice ruth bader ginsburg. former vice president biden appeal direct lead to senate republicans to respect her dying wish for the next president to select her replacement, not to jam a lifetime appointment through. look, i'm not being naive. i'm not speaking to president trump who'll do whatever he wants, i'm not speaking to mitch mcconnell who'll do what he wants and he does, i'm speaking to those republicans out there, senate republicans, who know deep down what is right for the country and consistent with the constitution as i stand here in the constitution centre, not just what's best for their party.

two republican senators have both backed a delay in the vote on the justice after november's presidential election. i spoke to rebecca klar reporterfor the hill in washington. if all 47 numbers of the senate democratic caucus oppose trump's nominee and mitch mcconnell holds a vote on it, they will need at least four senate republicans tojoin them. so far only two republican senators have said that they don't think the senate shouldn't hold a vote and should wait until the next presidential election, but they're going to need to convince at least two more and at already that pool is is dwindling as the number of vulnerable senate republicans who are facing re—election have already said that they're on mcconnell‘s side and that the senate should hold the vote soon. does he have a chance

of getting those final two defections? there definitely are a number of senators who are going to be closely watched and could defect and join the democrats. i think senator mitt romney is going to be closely watched because he is one of president trump's fiercest critics among senate republicans to vote for one of the articles of impeachment. cory gardner is also facing one of the toughest re—election campaigns in colorado and is yet to say either way. as well as chuck grassley who said he did would do something in the abstract in 2020 which he did in 2016 which was blocked nominee and off that he is yet to say if that still holds true sense justice ginsburg has died. 0pposition campaigners in belarus jong ——0pposition campaigners

in belarus say more than one hundred and thirty people have been arrested around the country during the latest demonstrations against president alexander lukashenko‘s disputed re—election. most of the arrests were in the capital minsk, where this was a sixth consecutive sunday of protest. one person is missing and dozens have been evacuated from their homes after torrential rain hit the south of france. as much as 35 centimetres of rain fell in parts of the gard region, near the cote d'azur. helicopters have carried out two rescue missions and around 200 people were moved to safety from two villages. coastguards in finland will work through the night to stabilise a ferry that ran aground in the aland islands. more than 200 passengers have been evacuated from the vessel, and most of the crew have been taken safely to shore. the ferry makes daily trips between the swedish capital, stockholm, and the southern finnish port of turku. the uk health secretary, matt hancock, has warned of a tipping point in the fight against coronavirus. he said that british people have a choice: either everybody follows the rules or further measures will be needed. but he told the bbc the government did not want to see a second national lockdown. on monday, boris johnson's key medical and scientific advisers will deliver a televised briefing on the threat posed by current

cases and projections. here's our political correspondent, iain watson. when it comes to complying with rules and restrictions, the government says we're more lax than some of our continental counterparts. so, as coronavirus cases increase, expect to hear tougher messages on enforcement. the health secretary says we're at 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's 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 just over a week from now in england, if you don't self—isolate when you should, you could face an initial fine of £1,000, 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's a hefty fine in place or something like that, people would maybe toe the line a bit better. the chief medical officer, on his way to number 10 today. he and the government's scientific advisers have been pushing for swift action to slow the virus's spread. the prime minister has been in top—level meetings to discuss his options. but he's also under pressure from his next—door neighbour the chancellor, who doesn't 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 & bar in leeds, there's no enthusiasm for a possible curfew.

put a ten o'clock curfew, most bars will probably decide not to open back up ‘cause trade won't be worth it for the late night venues. but also, it could work in a different way where all the students, all the people go out through the day, the bars make the same amount of money, but obviously it'lljust cause trouble through the day, rather than the night. labour say they'll support whatever new steps the government takes, but... if i was the prime minister, i would apologise for the fact that we're 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's going on. this is borisjohnson's key adviser dominic cummings, leaving downing street tonight after a long series of meetings. he and his boss's conclusion? we're all going to have to do better at following the rules, if we're to bring coronavirus under control. iain watson, bbc news.

weekly protests are taking place outside benjamin midnight you's residence for nearly three months in jerusalem. you's residence for nearly three months injerusalem. —— netanyahu. a judge in california have locked trump‘s attempt to lock wechat. —— block. ben johnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. all the athletes should be clean going into the games. i'm just happy that justice is served. it is a simple fact that this morning, these people were in their homes. tonight, those homes have been burnt down by serbian soldiers and police.

all the taliban positions along here have been strengthened, presumably in case the americans invade. it's no use having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world, and so the british government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes. this is bbc news, the latest headlines: leaked documents reveal how some uk banks have allowed criminals and money launderers to move billions of pounds around the world. the battle over a new us supreme courtjustice. the battle over a new us supreme court justice. the

democrat, joe biden says he should name the replacement if he beats donald trump in november. ajudge in california has halted the trum administration's attempt to ban downloads of the chinese—owned app, wechat. the us department of commerce had wanted to force apple and alphabet‘s google, to remove wechat for downloads by sunday evening. the white house says wechat and tiktok, which is also chinese owned, threaten national security. both companies strongly deny this. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, explains what's behind this row between the us and china. a cold war is under way between the world's leading two superpowers, though it's been little noticed by voters dealing with a global pandemic. what started as a battle over trade escalated into threats over the exchange rate for the yuan and it's now a major conflict. as ever in battles between ideologically conflicting superpowers, america and china are vying for technological supremacy. two companies illustrate that battle — huawei, with its dominance of 5g, and tiktok, a young entertainment platform already boasting over 800 million users.

# come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga. # i know you can't control yourself any longer. tiktok is owned by bytedance, now worth $100 billion. its founder, zhang yiming, has pledged deep cooperation with the chinese communist party. that's why politicians of all stripes in america see tiktok, like huawei, as a national security threat, giving china access to the precious data and attention of american citizens. president trump's demand that it be sold to a non—chinese company and that the us treasury get a cut, might be illegal. it's unprecedented in the us, but such assertions of sovereignty are already standard practice in china, where platforms like youtube and whatsapp are blocked, along with foreign sources of news and religious instruction, and where the web

is a tool of surveillance. in a sense, then, president trump is merely borrowing from china's playbook. and these new methods of control go further than just the us and china. in india, for example, narendra modi's government has banned tiktok and other chinese—owned mobile apps. and other states have used various social media controls, monitoring and censorship. tiktok, then, isn'tjust a platform for video pranks. it proves that there is a battle for the soul of the internet in an era of rising net nationalism, where governments say that countries and not companies should control the web. with almost half of humanity not yet online, how and if this big digital chill spreads could shape the 21st century. amol rajan there. tv stars around the globe are preparing to dial in to this year's emmy awards, which will kick off as a virtual ceremony in around one hour's time. this year's nominations are led by hbo's superhero

series watchmen and also drama succession. jeremy irons and brian cox are both up for best actor in a limited series and drama series respectively withjennifer aniston and laura linney battling it out for lead actress in a drama series. kato matthews joins us from los angeles. jimmy kimmel is largely speaking to an empty auditorium in los angeles. does this make the ceremony worse or better? i will tell you, in this make the ceremony worse or better? iwill tell you, in the beginning it was confusing because when it the chauffeur started about an hour ago, they kept doing cutaways to audience that would laugh and react to what he was saying. it was very confusing. where are all of these people? halfway through, he says of course they are not here. these are cutaways from prior years. so then he went to the audience and it was empty, nothing but place cards out there. the only person that was

there. the only person that was there was the lead actor, the quy there was the lead actor, the guy from ozark. there was the lead actor, the guy from 0zark. and there were a few actors who showed up. jennifer aniston was there. tracy ellis was there. but for the most part, it has been interesting to see an empty stadium and then to see basically a zoom call with 150 people basically. every single nominee is live at home or at some other venue being piped in. it isjust some other venue being piped in. it is just the technological wizardry of all of this is amazing. i am impressed that tv stars know how to operate their laptops and get connected. we had the comedy award so far. we've had incredibly good night and if you have to ba leavyi would say the word but it rhymes with it. basically, canadian, eugene levy and his son have swept all

of the awards. best actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actor, best supporting actress, riding, directing, comedy. it is the first seven awards went to that show in the was saying, wait a minute, is this real, it was weird. but that's where we are so far. any other award handed out so far is regina king and her guest starring role in watchmen. she won for best actress. so we're very happy to see her and of course for last week tonight show talk show won forjohn 0liver as well. but we're still well into it. it is a three show and so far, has been going off without a hitch so i'm really surprised. there's so much going on and so far so good. tv has got a lot of us for a lockdown this year. was it a vintage year for what we all had to watch? it was yes but i think it has been a great year because of the additional

streaming platforms. remember, we had disney plus that was added to the mix. we also had quibi and hbo max. and disney plus! we have so many new shows are new outlets of course. with the old outlets of course, hbo, netflix, amazon, hulu, so we had a lot to choose from but people really gravitated to just a few shows. there was ships creek which i mentioned, watchmen, the morning show, succession, ozark, although shows got a lot of user nominations. kato matthews, i'm sure we'll treat you in a bit. in. thank you. a memorial service marking the battle of britain has been held at westminster abbey. it was a turning point ability when 1500 pilots and aircrew lost their lives fighting for german aircrew. the service was

westminster abbey's first major since lockdown. the sights and sounds of 19110 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. 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 19114.

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 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. 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.

brighter, some sunshine into parts of aberdeenshire, temperatures in aberdeen getting up to around 19 degrees. but for western scotland and northern ireland, with more cloud, more of a breeze, it will be just a touch cooler at 16—17 degrees. now, as we had through monday night into tuesday, we will see extensive cloud across the northwest of the uk, and the first signs of some outbreaks of rain, some pretty heavy rain into the far north and west. further south, some clear spells, a relatively mild night — certainly compared with some of the nights we will have later in the week. into tuesday, for england and wales, it's largely dry, could be the odd shower in the west, but for northern ireland and scotland, we see thicker cloud, we see outbreaks of rain. it will be increasingly windy. we could have gusts close to 50 mph in the far northwest. ahead of that band of cloud and rain, it's still relatively warm. in fact, we could get to 25 degrees towards the southeast corner. but that warmth will not last. through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see this band of rain, our weather front pushing further south eastwards, and behind it, as the winds switch around to

northwesterlies, things turn much, much colder. so, for wednesday morning, scotland and northern ireland starting today at 5—6 degrees. 16 degrees in southeast england, but even here, it's going to turn cooler through wednesday as this frontal system moves its way through. it will bring some rain in places during wednesday, but see how the temperatures drop. it stays much, much cooler by day and by night as we head towards the end of the week with further wind and rain at times.
