about britney spears�* comeback single with eltonjohn. welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. the usjustice department has made public some of the information which led the fbi to search donald trump's florida home. it's published a redacted version of the sworn statement or affidavit, outlining the evidence which the department produced to get a search warrant. these documents are normally kept sealed. the affidavid says there was "probable cause to believe" that there are "additional documents" with classified information still at mar—a—lago and "there

is also probable cause to believe that evidence of obstruction will be found at the premises,". the affidavit�*s conclusion makes the case that there is probable cause "to believe that evidence of contraband, fruits of crime, or other items illegally possessed" in violation of three federal statutes would be found on the premises. donald trump has denied any wrong—doing. our north america correspondent anthony zurcher is at west palm beach in florida and gave us more details on the investigation. thejustice department has now pulled back the curtain ever so slightly into the criminal investigation over handling classified documents and presidential records here at mar—a—lago. in its 32 affidavit, that was heavily redacted, the justice department said one of the reasons why they thought there were still classified documents being kept in an unsecured location here in mar—a—lago, was because documents given by the president and his associates to the national archives earlier

contained over 100 instances of classified information mixed in amongst magazine articles, newspaper clippings, photographs and other paraphernalia, as well as 25 items marked top secret, that included human intelligence gathering, foreign surveillance and court ordered domestic surveillance. the justice department also relied on witness testimony as part of its request, but none of that witness testimony was made public. it was redacted and the reason thejustice department gave for this was because they thought that if the identity of the witnesses were made public, they can be open to harassment or even physical intimidation, and that future witnesses may be more reluctant to come forward if they see this kind of chilling effect. there's also the concern among the justice department that any revelations could lay out a roadmap for future obstruction of the investigation. now, donald trump has had a lot of legal concerns since he's left the white house, but this one because it's a criminal investigation, may be rapidly moving up to the top of that list. let's get more on the legal background to this. we're joined by lisa kern griffin, professor of constitutional law

and evidence at duke law school. tell us more about what we know about the search warrant and probable cause?— about the search warrant and probable cause? probable cause is of the legal _ probable cause? probable cause is of the legal standard - probable cause? probable cause is of the legal standard that - is of the legal standard that is of the legal standard that is required in order to get a search warrant so the magistrate judge search warrant so the magistratejudge here magistrate judge here determined when magistratejudge here determined when a search warrant was conducted that the government had probable cause to search for evidence of the three crimes that are outlined in the search warrant. an affidavit released in part today contains the background facts that establish that trouble because.- facts that establish that trouble because. . ., , ., trouble because. that affidavit ou trouble because. that affidavit you mentioned, _ trouble because. that affidavit you mentioned, heavily- you mentioned, heavily redacted, what is likely behind those big black blocks? the government _ those big black blocks? tue: government identified those big black blocks? tte: government identified five categories of information it was concealing with the reductions. —— reductions.

there is thejudge reductions. —— reductions. there is the judge who has reviewed the original affidavit reviewed the original affidavit reviewed it in order to approve the search warrant and reviewed it in order to determine whether these reductions were appropriate. and trump himself knows much of the information redacted. the reason for the reductions is the government is trying to protect civilian witnesses who provided information about the documents and activities at mar—a—lago and activities at mar—a—lago and of trump's knowledge about those documents and where they were. they are also trying to protect law enforcement officers who unfortunately in the week of the search warrant to be threatened by some of donald trump's supporters in the government put in its findings like it did the reductions. the government is trying to protect the course of

the investigation and made clear that this is an ongoing investigation and there may be multiple targets of the investigation and do not want to reveal a roadmap for way the investigation is going. there is also grandeur information which is secret by law and they have expressed concerns about the privacy of some of the individuals described in the affidavit. iiit individuals described in the affidavit. . ., ., , affidavit. in addition to his claims this _ affidavit. in addition to his claims this is _ affidavit. in addition to his claims this is a _ claims this is a political witch—hunt, he said it is pointless because is protected. executive privilege belongs to the current president of the united states. as a former president he has the same privileges that other citizens would have an executive privilege is not one. sometimes he seems to be talking about or his supporters seem to be talking about attorney—client privilege which may apply to a small number of these documents by the justice department has made it clear it has a filter team reviewing the documents for that purpose. in

are mentioned in the redacted affidavit. ., ~ , ., , are mentioned in the redacted affidavit. ., ~' , ., , . a national emergency�*s been declared in pakistan after almost a thousand people died following severe monsoon flooding that began injune. more than 33 million people have been affected by the country's heaviest rainfall in decades. hundreds of thousands of homes have been destroyed, and thousands of people have taken refuge in relief camps. the worst affected areas are in the provinces of balochistan and sindh in the south, from where our correspondent pumza fihlani sent this report. moving to higher ground, families wade through the water with the only belongings they could salvage. in southern pakistan, many streets have been turned into rivers. families have set up tents on the few roads that are still visible. it has been more than ten days of heavy rains and yet the streets of sukkur are still flooded.

this is one of the main roads linking this community to the outside world. now something has also happened here, many of the people of this community say they have lost their homes to the floods. what they could do was they moved to slightly higher ground and they've managed to set up temporary shelter. now, they say to me they are worried about more rains coming and they do not know how long they will be able to stay here. just behind this new tented community is where their homes used to be. from up above, devastation as far as the eye can see. balochistan and sindh provinces have suffered the worst destruction. homes, roads and infrastructure reduced to rubble. around sindh, the provincial government has been distributing aid but their need outweighs its resources and are appealing for help. this man's family has lived here for more than 50 years and his home was destroyed within minutes, he tells me. translation: we have

lost everything. - all our belongings are gone. the only thing we managed to save is our lives. the water's might has taken not just homes, businesses too. into this video, a new hotel, one of the largest in the area, was washed away within minutes. the owner told us he watched helplessly as it came down. it is becoming clear to the people trapped in these remote communities that the worse is far from over and yet all many can do is sit and hope, hope that the coming storm will be a little more forgiving. it is a vulnerability many had never imagined. pumza fihlani, bbc news, sukkur. soaring prices are inflicting hardship and stretching the budgets of many around the world. trying to contol inflation has become a key concern globally, including in the us. on friday, the chair

of america's central bank, jerome powell, warned that fighting the fastest rise in prices in nearly four decades would be painful to households and businesses. our business correspondent michelle fleury explains. jerome powell in his widely anticipated speech effectively said that the federal reserve, america's powerful central bank, was not done, that it would would continue to raise rates, that they would remain elevated for a long time. now, for investors this was the worse possible news. they had hoped he might sort of dial things back, and say things were looking a bit brighter, but in fact, it was the opposite and as a result of that you saw the us market falling sharply, all down around 3%, the dowjones industrial average tumbling 1000 points in one day. part of the fear that they have is notjust higher rates but this idea that, if the fed gets it wrong, you could potentially tip the us economy into recession if growth stalls. it is no surprise that

mr powell referenced paul volcker, a fed chairman during the 805, who as a result of high inflation was forced to raise interest rates to 20% and tipped the us economy into recession. i think that's the point powell is trying to make to ordinary americans, that there is going to be pain along the way, but that it is worth it to avoid that. here in the uk, households have been warned that energy bills will soar by 80% in october for tens of millions of people, causing real hardship for many who are already struggling with a steep rise in the cost of living. the bbc�*s business editor simonjack reports. abby dezso is a single mum living in ipswich. the energy price rise will hit her hard. she has a part—timejob which earns her £1000 a month, but her energy bill is going up from £80 to £250 in october, which she will struggle to find. is there anything you can cut? honestly. . . no. as she looks at her stretched budget, her primary concern

is for her children. you don't want them to go without, so as long as they're fed, that's my main priority. as long as i've fed them, i don't really mind. if i can sort them out, i'm happy with a bit of toast, that doesn't bother me. but you just know that they're going to end up going without. announcing the new prices this morning, the regulator said it would fall to government to help households face this crisis. the truth is, this is beyond the capacity of the regulator and the industry to address. so, what we are saying today is look, we have ten days now until we have a new administration, and we have a new prime minister and a new ministerial team. what i am clear about is the prime minister, with his or her ministerial team, will need to act urgently and decisively to address this. households in england, scotland and wales will get a £400 discount on bills, and people on qualifying benefits are eligible for an additional £650 from october under support already announced. there's a separate scheme

for northern ireland. today, the prime minister said his successor would provide more. there's a pipeline of cash coming through over the next few months and through the autumn and winter, but that is clearly now going to be augmented, increased, by extra cash that the government is plainly going to be announcing in september. while the labour leader said prices needed to be held where they are now. we need to have a freeze on those energy prices, do not let them go up to those levels, and pay for that in part by a windfall tax on the oil and gas companies on those excess profits. so, how on earth did we get here? well, this is how. this is the wholesale price of gas. it's not controlled by governments or companies or regulators, it's driven by international supply and demand. you can see there, the russian invasion of ukraine, which sent it rocketing, and it soared again in recent

weeks as countries scramble to buy up supplies of gas before the winter. and it's those wholesale prices driving our bills — that's the big chunk in blue there. now, liz truss has promised to suspend this little green bit down here — that's the social and environmental policy cost. rishi sunak says he'll cut the yellow bit there — that's vat on fuel. so, little wonder there are calls for much more support than currently are on offer, especially as the industry experts who got today's number right have been saying that bills could hit over £5,000 injanuary and over £6,000 in april. back in ipswich, people at a local community centre were shocked and angry. it's actually made me feel ill, physically ill, to hear that figure. it's even higher, i think, than we were expecting. it's a nightmare, and most people can't afford it. i think of families. i'm a pensionerand i've got to struggle. it's almost an unimaginable| number, you know, the sort of price of bills that - we're going to be facing come january as well. have you contacted us before? at the local citizen's

advice, many are seeking help for the first time. i asked the chief executive nicky willshere how she felt about the winter ahead. terrifying. i mean, i'm really worried about families and households, whether they're single households or not. the cost of energy is unbearable now, without it going up. i don't know how households are going to manage, i can just see that demand on our services and other voluntary sector services are going to go through the roof. most people's heating isn't on yet, and there is every reason to postpone that moment as long as possible. simon jack, bbc news. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: # hold me closer, tiny dancer...# what the critics are saying about britney spears' comeback single with eltonjohn. he's the first african—american to win the presidential nomination of a major party, and he accepts exactly 45 years ago to the day that martin luther king

the usjustice department has released a heavily redacted version of the document it used to obtain a search warrant for donald trump's florida home. there have been dire warnings of more severe flooding in northern pakistan, as it suffers its heaviest monsoon rains in decades. britney spears has released her first single since being freed from her conservatorship — the legal arrangement which saw her father control most aspects of her life for more than a decade. the song is a duet with eltonjohn, based in part on his 1972 hit tiny dancer. our music correspondent mark savage has been taking a listen. # hold me closer...#. the unmistakable sound of britney spears. # 0h, hold me closer, tiny dancer...# this is the first time fans have heard new music from the singer since 2016... chanting: free britney now!

free britney now! _ ..and it's the first since she was freed from a 13—year legal arrangement that stopped her making basic decisions about her personal life. what am i going to do now that the conservatorship's over with? speaking on instagram last year, britney said that returning to music might not be her first priority. i'm just grateful, honestly, for each day and being able to have the keys to my car and being able to be independent and feel like a woman. and owning an atm card, seeing cash for the first time, being able to buy candles. it's the little things for us women, but it makes a huge difference. it was music legend eltonjohn who eventually tempted the star back into the studio. # and i think it's going to be a long, long time...# he was planning a follow—up to cold heart — a duet with dua lipa that became a global number one last year — and it was his husband, david furnish, who suggested getting britney on the track.

"i hope she gets all the support in the world, after the hell she's been through," said one fan online. critics weren't so kind, with the telegraph calling hold me closer "one of the most pointless records in pop history", although the guardian said the song was "filled with power and poignancy. " writing on twitter, britney said she was "overwhelmed" to be singing with one of her heroes. # hold me closer, tiny dancer...# her fans hope that this will be the first of many new songs. mark savage, bbc news. it's a common experience — you telephone a helpline and find yourself speaking

to people in a call centre thousands of miles away, with accents that aren't always easy to understand. now a californian company has developed technology that can change those accents in real time. the firm say the aim of the software is to make workers sound more "western", and reduce the abuse of staff. but some claim it risks perpetuating biases rather than fighting them. you are about to hit —— you are about to hear. joining us now is winifred poster, a sociologist from washington university in st louis. i think there are many problems with this kind of technology that range from letter to

greater harm. 0ne that range from letter to greater harm. one of the problems is that it doesn't solve the main problems of customer service. which is that when a customer calls a company, they have a problem. so regardless of what is being communicated to them, they may still be angry that their computer doesn't work, or that they were unable to get a refund for a purchase, etc. another problem is that it is unfair to the worker. especially in the global south, when they have to engage in these kinds of deceptive practices as a regular part of thejob. it practices as a regular part of the job. it follows a range of practices that i have documented in my research, about national identity management, in which workers, as a routine for their interactions, have to change their name, they have to speak in a different type of accent,

they have to adopt different conversational style, and basically lie about where they are. this creates a range of different emotional, psychic, mental, practical problems for workers and they often don't end up saying in the job for very long, may be a matter of months, because in part because of these types of practices. the company, if i canjust come in there, the company says four of its founders are immigrants, 90% of its workforce are immigrants — it says this is about blurring the lines and making things really, when people have these interactions with call centres. just as simple as that? tt with call centres. just as simple as that?- with call centres. just as simple as that? it is true that many workers _ simple as that? it is true that many workers may _ simple as that? it is true that many workers may say - simple as that? it is true that many workers may say that i simple as that? it is true that l many workers may say that this kind of levelling of accent may make theirjob easier in the short term. but as i said, it

creates other problems, which is that for instance, it increases the deception that a customer has to experience when they are calling a company, and i am sure that many of us have had the experience of doing various technologically mediated interactions where we don't know whether the person on the other end of the line is actually a human or not. and i don't think customers like to be deceived. in my experience when i was doing research inside call centres, customers actually often really enjoy the opportunity to be able to ask where the worker is and then learn about them and their culture. it is a moment, it is an opportunity for cross—cultural learning. tt an opportunity for cross-cultural learning. it is interesting _ cross-cultural learning. it is interesting you _ cross-cultural learning. it is interesting you mention - cross—cultural learning. it is interesting you mention that, because we had that example

before, and i am sure the company wants to constantly com pa ny wa nts to co nsta ntly im prove, but company wants to constantly improve, but i did sound a little robotic. and i think most people would rather talk to a person than a robotic voice, isn't thisjust to a person than a robotic voice, isn't this just going to make things worse? tt voice, isn't thisjust going to make things worse? it seems like it is, _ make things worse? it seems like it is, in — make things worse? it seems like it is, in my _ make things worse? it seems like it is, in my mind, - make things worse? it seems like it is, in my mind, to - make things worse? it seems like it is, in my mind, to me. | like it is, in my mind, to me. and also, it has the added problem of reinforcing stereotypes and biases around access and language. and it privileges whiteness in society in general, it feeds into that rather than helping to break that down and, you know, create a more empathetic, knowledgeable world. irate a more empathetic, knowledgeable world. we will have to leave _ knowledgeable world. we will have to leave it _ knowledgeable world. we will have to leave it there, - have to leave it there, winifred posterfrom have to leave it there, winifred poster from washington university, thank you for joining us. there is an article on that story on the bbc news website.

you can download the bbc news app you can download the bbc news app as well. you can reach me on twitter — i'm @richpreston. thanks for watching, see you soon. hello. we ended the week with some fairly quiet weather, and that's how it's going to continue into the weekend. and, of course, for many of us, it is the august bank holiday weekend. here's the summary — plenty of sunny spells on offer, a few showers too. but it will become breezy, particularly by monday, and really quite cool on the north sea coasts. but at the moment, the weather is quiet. weather systems out at bay in the atlantic. there's a chance that this weather front will brush the north—west of the uk through the course of saturday. but this is what it looks like early hours of saturday, clear spells in many areas bar the odd local shower. temperatures, 15 celsius in london, around 8 celsius in the lowlands of scotland. so here's that weather front, which will brush parts of northern ireland and the western isles

of scotland, just spits and spots of rain here and there. but i think through the afternoon, sunny spells will give way to showers in a few areas, perhaps the pennines, central england, in the south too. and saturday also sees the notting hill carnival or the return of the notting hill carnival since before covid. so, here, sunny spells in london and a small chance of a shower. 0nto the forecast for sunday, and again, anotherfine day, i think fine weather for most of northern ireland and the western isles of scotland as well. best temperatures, i think, in south—western parts of the uk, 25 celsius for cardiff, closer to the low twenties there on the north sea coast. now on monday, we are going to see this high pressure strengthening across the uk, and also around it, we'll develop quite a strong breeze blowing off the north sea, which will drag in some low cloud. so from the aberdeenshire coastline, the north—east, all the way to east anglia, possibly the kent coast, it may actually turn quite cloudy. in this situation,

coastal areas really will be quite chilly. the best of the weather will be out towards the west, and again, the highest temperatures here, perhaps around the mid 20s for cardiff. but if you are in scarborough, for example, it could only be 16 celsius with a keen breeze off the north sea. how about the week ahead? with high pressure in charge, the weather, again, is not looking bad at all. very little rain in the forecast with steady temperatures in the mid 20s in the south, the high teens in the north. have a great weekend.

this is bbc news. the headlines: the usjustice department has released the legal evidence used to justify the unprecedented search of donald trump's florida home. large parts of the affidavit were blacked out to protect witnesses and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. mr trump has called the operation a witch—hunt. the authorities in pakistan have issued emergency warnings of severe flooding in the north—west of the country as the heaviest monsoon rains in decades continue. near the city of quetta, homes, railway tracks and road bridges have been washed away. stock markets in the us ended the week sharply down following tough comments by the head of the central bank. the federal reserve chairman warned that controlling inflation was the key to combating the fastest rise

in prices in nearly four decades, but said it would be painful.
