this is bbc news, i'm sally bundock, with the latest headlines for viewers in the uk and around the world. mission to the moon, nasa gives the go—ahead for its latest test flight, artemis will launch next monday. we are go for launch, which is absolutely outstanding. this day has been a long time coming. lawyers for donald trump take legal action following the raid on his florida home, claiming it was an attempt to stop him running for office. when the lights go out, shanghai's skyline is cast into darkness, as china's severe drought leads to a power shortage. and, return of the liberator,

brazil's first emperor arrives to celebrate its bicentennial, or at least part of him does. let's start with some breaking news: a nine—year—old girl has died following a shooting in liverpool. the emergency services were called to a house in the knotty ash area of the city at ten o'clock last night. a man and a woman also suffered gunshot injuries. both have been taken to hospital. merseyside police say house to house, cctv and forensic enquiries are being carried out. we

carried out. will have more details on that we will have more details on that story as the day progresses. it's taken half a century, but nasa is one step closer to putting humans back on the moon, after giving the go—ahead to the launch of a major test flight on monday. the agency's artemis mission is being heralded as the start of a new era of space exploration. you are watching the flight readiness review briefing for nasa's artemis one mission. left off of this first unaccrued flight test is currently targeted from monday, august 29 from historic launchpad 39 be. it's expected that the mission will lead eventually to the first woman and the first person of colour setting foot there. it is the apollo mission for a new generation — as our science editor rebecca morelle explains. after a 50—year gap, we're heading back to the moon, and it all starts here with the artemis mission

and nasa's huge rocket. it's called the space launch system, or sls for short, and it's the most powerful rocket ever built by the us space agency. it stands nearly 100 metres — about 320 feet — tall, roughly the same height as a 32—storey building. its colossal size means it's really heavy, so it needs lots of power. it has four engines, but even those aren't enough to get this rocket off the ground, so what it also needs are these two huge boosters. they all use fuel, and the biggest part, called the core stage, is full of fuel. in fact, fuel makes up 90% of the weight of this entire rocket. now you might be wondering where the astronauts will go. well, it's here, near the top, in the orion crew capsule. but not this time. this is a test flight, so there are no people on board.

the time has come to put the space launch system to the test. as it readies for blast off from cape canaveral in florida on launch pad 39b, the same one used for apollo, it will be nervewracking. three, two, one... the rocket thunders away from the earth, eventually reaching speeds of nearly 25,000 miles, or 40,000 kilometres, an hour. as each component of the rocket completes theirjob, they separate. the orion spacecraft is on its way. there's a long journey ahead. it's 380,000 kilometres, about 240,000 miles, to the moon. after its launch, the spacecraft enters into a low earth orbit, then with the go from mission control, the engines ignite, giving it the big push it needs to escape our planet's gravity.

it takes several days to reach the moon, with the spacecraft making small adjustments along the way. at first, the spacecraft flies in close, 100 kilometres, that's 62 miles, above the lunar surface. then it enters a much larger orbit, swinging more than 65,000 kilometres, about 40,000 miles, beyond the moon. that's further than any spacecraft built for humans has ever flown. during the several weeks 0rion is in orbit, nasa will collect important data and check how the spacecraft is performing. finally, after another close fly—by, it's ready to head for home. now things get hazardous. as the spacecraft nears earth, it has to enter our atmosphere at exactly the right angle. if it gets this wrong, it will burn up. so, its huge heat shield protects it while the

temperature rises to nearly 3,000 degrees celsius. a series of parachutes open, massively slowing it down, before splash down in the pacific 0cean. we can now speak to alan boyle who's a science writer and space reporter. a very warm welcome to the programme. it sounds incredibly exciting, a bit of a flag—waving callback to the days of apollo may be. yes indeed, — days of apollo may be. yes indeed, looking _ days of apollo may be. yes indeed, looking toward the past, they had snoopy as one of the mascots on board and snoopy made a big role in the apollo programme so there are all sorts of callbacks to apollo and they are trying to move this forward, artemis was the sister of apollo and in the same way they hope that this will be a sister programme to the glory days of nasa 50 years ago. the glory days of nasa 50 years auo. �* , the glory days of nasa 50 years aao_ �* , ., ago. and in terms of the important _ ago. and in terms of the important technologicall ago. and in terms of the - important technological changes that have happened since then,

rebecca they're explaining some of the risks, what could go wrong, your thoughts? well, it is a heavier— wrong, your thoughts? well, it is a heavier spacecraft - wrong, your thoughts? well, it is a heavier spacecraft and - wrong, your thoughts? well, it is a heavier spacecraft and a i is a heavier spacecraft and a pretty heavy rocket. in some ways they are trying to recapture the spirit of the saturn five rocket. this will be the most powerful rocket so, years ago a nasa administrator called this apollo on steroids and i think that is still a good way to describe it. find and i think that is still a good way to describe it. and in terms of the _ good way to describe it. and in terms of the first _ good way to describe it. and in terms of the first woman, - good way to describe it. and in terms of the first woman, the l terms of the first woman, the first person of colour being on the mission to the moon, when people are on the mission to the moon, when could that happen, do you think? the plan is that after— happen, do you think? the plan is that after this _ happen, do you think? the plan is that after this mission - is that after this mission there will be kind of a repeat of this mission but with a crew on board in 2024 and then as early as 2025, you would have people landing on the moon using the spacex starship as the lender so that is going to be a really spectacular mission, two of the biggest rockets in the world working together to bring people back

together to bring people back to the moon.— together to bring people back to the moon. �* ., ., to the moon. and how important do ou to the moon. and how important do you think _ to the moon. and how important do you think is _ to the moon. and how important do you think is this _ to the moon. and how important do you think is this thought - do you think is this thought nasa to be at the forefront of all of this in regards to space exploration, when we have seen so much coming from the likes of elon musk, jeff bezos, richard branson, others who are trying to do this?— trying to do this? that's riiht, trying to do this? that's right. that _ trying to do this? that's right, that this - trying to do this? that's right, that this is - trying to do this? that's| right, that this is nasa's trying to do this? that's - right, that this is nasa's turn to have the spotlight. in recent years, spacex and virgin galactic and blue 0rigin have taken more of the spotlight and i've had people still ask me, well, is nasa doing anything in spaceflight? so this is nasa's chance to shine and show that they are still on the final frontier, so they got all sorts of things planned to boost their role in space exploration.- their role in space exloration. ., . exploration. how excited are ou exploration. how excited are you about — exploration. how excited are you about all _ exploration. how excited are you about all this? _ exploration. how excited are you about all this? i'm - exploration. how excited are | you about all this? i'm pretty excited. that _ you about all this? i'm pretty excited. that is _ you about all this? i'm pretty excited. that is going - you about all this? i'm pretty excited. that is going to - you about all this? i'm pretty excited. that is going to be l excited. that is going to be one big rocket blasting off, so that would be pretty impressive, and i think the big

pushis impressive, and i think the big push is going to be when they put people on board. that's always the way it is. unaccrued spaceflights are one thing but when you put a crew on board and you have human lives that risk, that lifts it up to another level. it certainly does, another level. it certainly does. we _ another level. it certainly does, we haven't- another level. it certainly does, we haven't got - another level. it certainly | does, we haven't got long another level. it certainly i does, we haven't got long to wait, monday next week. thank you very much for being on the programme. donald trump has asked a federal court to temporarily block the fbi from reviewing the material it seized from his florida home two weeks ago. in a lawsuit, the former us president has also asked the court to appoint what's called a special master — usually a retired lawyer or judge — to act as a watchdog. mr trump's lawyers say some of the material may be protected by presidential privileges. here's our north america correspondent chi chi izundu. this is the first formal legal action that donald trump has taken against the department of justice since the fbi executed search warrant of his

mar—a—lago home on august eight to weeks ago. donald trump and his legal team want four things. number one, they are asking for a special master to be appointed, that is an independent person, lawyer, judge who can review the items that were taken from his home because he believes that some of those documents contain privileged or potentially privileged or potentially privileged material and he wants them back. the second thing he wants is any items that were removed from his home that were removed from his home that were removed from his home that were not part of the search warrant to be returned to him because again he thinks that some of those items would be personal items of his or the first lady's. the third thing that he is asking for is more information, more detail on exactly what was taken and exactly what was taken and exactly where it was taken from his mar—a—lago home. in the last thing he is asking for is that everything stops for now. the fbi and the department of justice should not look, review or read any of the documents removed from his home until this special master is

appointed. department of justice say that they seen this lawsuit and they will respond in court. let's get some of the day's other news. argentina's public prosecutor has asked a judge to sentence the country's vice—president, cristina fernandez de kirchner to 12 years injail for alleged corruption. she's accused of defrauding the state during her two terms as president of the country, and being involved in a scheme to divert public funds. she has been on trial since 2019, and has previously dismissed the charges as politically motivated. in the us city of atlanta, police have arrested a woman suspected of shooting two people dead, and wounding a third at different locations in the city centre. police said the attacks were not random and the victims were probably targeted. the suspect had initially remained at large but was later arrested at atlanta's international airport. the decision by former australian prime minister scott morrison to secretly appoint

himself as a government minister was not illegal, but "fundamentally undermined" the principle of responsible government, the country's solicitor—general has said. current premier anthony albanese has announced an inquiry will be held into ministerial appointments after the revelations of mr morrison's actions emerged last week. in china, authorities are battling one of the worst droughts seen in more than 50 years. falling river levels have left hydro—electric power stations unable to produce enough energy. as a result, emergency measures to save electricity have come into effect. shopping centres have been ordered to close early, factories have temporarily shut down and the lights on shanghai's famous waterfront are to be turned off. katharine da costa reports. china's record—breaking drought has scorched farms

and caused some lakes and rivers to dry up. the yangtze river, asia's longest waterway, is now at record low levels. officials say hydropower reservoirs are currently down by as much as half. at the same time, a surge in demand for air conditioning has put power companies under extreme pressure. this is shanghai's famous skyline. the riverside bund area, a popular tourist destination, now plunged into two days of darkness. restrictions have been brought in to try and ease demand for electricity. translation: large cities consume - a lot of electricity. power generation provinces like sichuan have been affected by the pandemic, and power generation has been affected. the shanghai government puts restrictions on consumption, and it will help ease the supply of electricity. in a harsh reminder of the devastating effects of drought, local news reports show fire trucks delivering water to villages

in the central hubei province as rural communities struggle to get by and crops have withered. plunging water levels of the yangtze river in china's southwestern region have revealed this trio of buddhist statues believed to be 600 years old. translation: in the past, | the water level was basically more than three meters during this season. i've been working for over a decade and i've never seen such low water levels. after weeks of extreme heat, china issued its first national drought alert of the year last week. some authorities in parts of central and southwestern china have turned to cloud seeding an attempt to try and induce rainfall. there have been reports of rockets being launched into the sky carrying chemicals, but a lack of cloud cover has stalled efforts in some areas, and there's no let—up in sight. a red heat warning, the highest level of alert, remains in place in large swathes of the country.

katherine da costa, bbc news. we will discuss that in more detail in our business segment later in the programme, or that to come. ukraine has denied russian allegations that it was behind the car bomb attack near moscow that killed the daughter of one of vladimir putin's closest allies, aleksandr dugin. the russians said a ukrainian agent had entered the country injuly, and planted a bomb under 29—year—old daria dugina's car. mr dugin said a memorial service will take place on tuesday morning in moscow. stay with us on bbc news. still to come — the return of the liberator, brazil's first emperor arrives to celebrate its bicentennial, or at least part of him does.

he's the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly 45 years to the day that martin luther king declared, "i have a dream." as darkness falls tonight, an unfamiliar light will appear in the south—eastern sky. an orange glowing disc that's brighter than anything, save the moon — our neighbouring planet, mars. horn toots. there is no doubt that this election| is an important milestone in the birth of east timori as the world's newest nation. it will take months, and billions of dollars, to repair what katrina achieved injust hours. three weeks is the longest the great clock has been off duty in 117 years, so it was with great satisfaction that clockmakerjohn vernon swung the pendulum to set the clock going again. big ben bongs
