hello and welcome to bbc news. 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 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. 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. 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, a trade association for british banking, has given us this statement: bus feed news —— bus feed news

explained what they found out. we looked far and wide for people who could verify these and give us some insight about what is happening inside the wold's biggest bank. what have you done to follow—up on the information? we interviewed hundreds of people. we received thousands of other government records inside bank records. we have made multiple freedom of information requests, we went to court in a number of cases do unearth or unseal some documents that banks and governments would like to keep secret. this was a wide effort among 400 journalists around the world. we saw in that extract, the report for the bbc. but what is your own 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 have 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 swells 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 is all i can say for now. stories like this generally have an impact on the public and it is our hope that we can, it is shed light on something that not many people recognise.

the democratic nominee for president, joe biden, has lashed out at president trump's decision to replace the late supreme courtjustice, ruth bader ginsburg before november's election. former vice president biden appealed directly to senate republicans, to respect her dying wish for the next president to select her replacement, not, as he put it, to rush 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 but a delay until after the 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 should hold the 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 who 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, he was the only senate republican to vote for one of the articles of impeachment. cory gardner is also facing one of the toughest re—election campaigns in colorado and he is yet to say either way. as well as chuck grassley who earlier this year said that in the abstract he would do the same thing in 2020 that he did in 2016 which would be to block the nominee and to hold off, so he is yet to say if that still holds true sincejustice ginsburg has died. let's get some of the day's other news. 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. thousands of anti—government protesters have held a

demonstration injerusalem, accusing the president of corruption and mishandling of the pandemic. weekly protests have taken place outside his residence for nearly three months. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: this years emmy‘s are taking place as a virtual ceremony with stars set to be presented awards in the comfort of their own homes. we will find out how a comedy show has swept the awards. 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 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 trump 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 has kicked off as a virtual ceremony. two questions to begin with, number one who is winning and number one who is winning and number two, all of the remote connections working? well,

amazingly, most of them are working quite well. there has been a few dodgy wi—fi connection but by and large, has actually been quite an entertaining show. i think entertaining show. i think entertaining because it is very different. we are still perhaps holding our breath for that unexpected, unscripted moment but so far has been pretty funny. in terms of who is winning, we have made emily's history tonight in terms of the comedy category which was first up, schitt‘s creek, which is the canadian said, winning seven out of the first seven categories. that is clean sweep of all of the comedy categories. that is the title of the show, deftly refers to a small town at the centre of the story. it is about a wealthy couple who hit on hard times and the small town as the last remaining asset. they have to change their lives. the thing about it is it is in each show, about it is it is in each show, a fish out of water kind of storyline. it has struck a nerve with viewers and emmy

voters. it's its final this year, this is its once on accolades if you like. it doesn't pretty well at prior award shows but it is done if emily's emmys. looking at the social media responses, viewers and fans of the show are very happy. do the tv stars have good so far is as far as you have seen? and have they given any good thank you speeches? they have and i think you kind of hits the nail on the head there. they have been putting quite a bit of work into their living rooms. they look quite well—prepared. they were very beautifully lit and in some cases, actually, they are not in their living rooms. example, the cost of the show we have just been talking about seem to be in some kind of studio setting in canada. the entire cast that won the awards and members of the crew as well or gathered together. i think the ones that note i have noticed about the set and speeches, some of them become a little political. that is not unusual

for awards shows, the main universal message seems to be that all americans in a couple of months time ought to get out and vote. thank you so much peter bowes. a memorial service marking the battle of britain has been held at westminster abbey. it was a dramatic turning point in world war ii when 1,500 pilots and the crew lost their lives fighting against the german air force. the service was the abbey's first major event since lockdown. sarah campbell reports. 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 0pposition, 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. rorts now and the slovenian cyclists pogajar has won the race afternoon of the most multi— motorist turnarounds and with history. he had plenty of reasons celebrate after sitting on the podium in paris with

three of the coveted four jerseys. the winner's champagne had to remain on ice for tadej pogacar, not because he's too young — he is 22 on monday — but the tradition of drinking it on the final stage to paris was banned this year because of coronavirus. on his special bike, pogacar was able to take in the accomplishment of becoming the second youngest winner with a clear head. amongst the famous landmarks, another one, sam bennett taking points in the intermediate sprint to become the first irishman for 31 years to win the green jersey. and it became a double celebration for bennett, powering past his rivals to finish a memorable three weeks. pogacar crossed the line moments later, ready to take his place on the biggest podium of all. but if these strange times end, he will get to enjoy his reign forjust nine months until the next tour de france. nick parrot, bbc news. now, a football match in the english county of west yorkshire was disrupted by an unusual pitch invader.

there he is, an alpaca bounding along the field. the match on saturday was halted for 15 minutes when 0scar, his name is, scope for a nearby farm and join the action. —— escaped. attempts were made to entice him off the pitch with food before a farmer came to shepherd him home. a red card for oscar. see you soon. we are not quite finished because yorkshire isn't the only place where animals are interrupting the beautiful game. after it landed on a player's head, a macaw held up a training match for brazil's women's soccer team on saturday. you can see it there. the team were in the middle of play in rio dejaneiro when the macaw eventually abandoned the player's head and flew towards the goalposts, after which point, play resumed. sign up the alpaca, sign up the macaw.

good players both. to stay with the bbc world news. hello there. in many places over the weekend, it felt like summer — with temperatures as high as 25 degrees. the new week gets off to a summery start as well, but it will not end that way. things through this week are going to become much more autumnal, as this band of cloud starts to work its way in our direction. now, this area of cloud is going to bring some outbreaks of rain, but it also separates the relatively warm air we have had lately from some much, much colder air — which is going to head our way, sweeping in from the northwest as we head through the coming days. but in the shorter term, through monday morning, some mist and fog, some low cloud too could affect parts of england and wales. that will tend to clear as we go through the day, and then it should be largely dry and sunny.

sunnier than it was on sunday across northeast england, also southeast scotland 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.

the headlines. 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 her —— help major banks have failed to stop crime when they suspect it. the democratic party's presidential candidatejoe biden has said it would be an abuse of power if republican senators confirmed any us supreme nominee put forward by donald trump before november's election. mr trump is rushing to fill the vacancy left by the death of ruth ada ginsburg at the age of 87. the health secretary of england matt hancock has warned that the uk is in hancock has warned that the uk isina hancock has warned that the uk is in a tipping point in the fight against coronavirus as thousands more cases are recorded every day. he has the british people have a choice, either everybody follows the rules or further measures will be needed to be imposed. —— ruth bayder ginsburg.
