4:02 am
in canada for two brothers suspected of stabbing several people to death and injuring others in the province of saskatchewan during a labour day weekend rampage. as the search continues, the police delivered a significant update. one of the brothers, damien sanderson, was found dead. his body was located outdoors in a heavily grassed area in proximity to a house that was being examined. we can confirm he has visible injuries. these injuries are not believed to be self—inflicted at this point. authorities went on to warn that the other suspect, myles sanderson, is still at large and still a threat to the public. myles sanderson, damien�*s brother, may have sustained injuries. this has not been confirmed. but we do want the public to know this because there is a possibility
4:03 am
he may seek medical attention. first police received a stabbing injames creek cree nation, an indigenous community, but soon more reports came in of victims in the nearby town of weldon. this guy came walking up here and it looked like he had his coat over his face and he said, "i need somebody to take me to the hospital, my mouth has been hurt." he said, "i've been stabbed." the suspects have now been charged with first—degree murder for one of the worst mass killings in ca nada's history. my thoughts and the thoughts of all canadians are with those who have lost loved ones and with those who are injured. this kind of violence or any kind of violence has no place in our country. as the man—hunt extends into another day,
4:04 am
officials have asked the community to stay alert for signs of the remaining suspect. as a state of emergency is declared in the province. azadeh moshiri, bbc news. sarah mills is the provincial news directorfor 980 cjme and 650 ckom radio in saskatchewan, she joins us from the province's capital, regina. thanks capital, regina. very much indeed for joining thanks very much indeed for joining us. i want to get the manhunt in a moment but can we just focus on damien sanderson who has been found dead and from what they understand from the police there, he himself had been attacked? that the police there, he himself had been attacked?- the police there, he himself had been attacked? that is what we are now _ had been attacked? that is what we are now learning, _ had been attacked? that is what we are now learning, it - had been attacked? that is what we are now learning, it was - we are now learning, it was quite talking or shocking, that use that developed this afternoon and as you've heard, there was some kind of grassy area in front of the building or a property within the james key first nations, james smith creek nation and his body was found as part of the investigation going into house by house, learning more about
4:05 am
what happened and piecing together a timeline and that's where he was found with what police are describing as not self—inflicted wounds that they believe to be stabbings. self-inflicted wounds that they believe to be stabbings.- believe to be stabbings. given the number — believe to be stabbings. given the number of _ believe to be stabbings. given the number of incident - believe to be stabbings. given the number of incident or- believe to be stabbings. given the number of incident or the | the number of incident or the number of crime sites that the police have cited as well, i'll imagine the idea that there are still one of these two suspected attackers out there is creating an awful lot of anxiety? it is creating an awful lot of anxiety?— is creating an awful lot of anxie ? , , ~ anxiety? it is. this weekend with a bank— anxiety? it is. this weekend with a bank holiday - anxiety? it is. this weekend l with a bank holiday weekend, the sort of last unofficial end of summer and the start of september and autumn routine, the kids go back to school fully tomorrow and already in the capital city we had one of the capital city we had one of the largest school divisions reach out to parents to say we are well aware kids are going to be walking to school, they are going to be on school buses, we are not taking steps to close schools yet or keep
4:06 am
doors closed but certainly there is that the extent we are seeing that even school divisions are having to prepare for something as simple as what should be routine and kids going back to school. it going back to school. it certainly feels, from here looking in, there is a huge amount we don't know and don't fully understand as to what has happened, why it has happened but there have been quotes from one or two local leaders and politicians making allusions to the dreadful drugs situation in this particular area, to drink and drugs. are we to assume that this is part of this awful picture? it that this is part of this awful icture? . , , , picture? it may very well be. it is too _ picture? it may very well be. it is too early _ picture? it may very well be. it is too early to _ picture? it may very well be. it is too early to speculate i it is too early to speculate but assumptions are you have to understand in indigenous communities which is whatjames smith cree nation is, as you probably have reported over this last year, canada is reckoning with its colonial
4:07 am
past, it is understanding the role of residential schools, unmarked graves and the legacy that has had, and that legacy includes property, addictions, violence issues, gang activity and in fact that we are now learning from police that myles sanderson, the suspect still at large as having a lengthy criminal record. crimestoppers is a local organisation within police units that the public can send tips on and they have a wanted list and myles sanderson we now know has been on the wanted as asking the public to look out for these people, having skipped parole is what the parole board of canada is now confirming, so already you have people that have examples of, as they describe, a lengthy criminal record and criminal conviction,
4:08 am
so one can't say that that is the reason why and whether drugs were involved but certainly, many in these small communities and those who live within the indigenous population, these won't be a surprise to them.— surprise to them. no, well sarah tanks _ surprise to them. no, well sarah tanks for _ surprise to them. no, well sarah tanks for giving - surprise to them. no, well sarah tanks for giving us i surprise to them. no, well sarah tanks for giving us a | sarah tanks for giving us a little more understanding around what has been an absolutely dreadful. sarah mills, thank you. liz truss will head to the queen's scottish residence in balmoral on tuesday to be asked to form a new government by her majesty. —— later in the day. the brief ceremony will bring to an end a lengthy campaign to become the leader of britain's conservative party. her victory overformer chancellor rishi sunak was widely expected but it was not by as large a margin as many had predicted. here's our political editor chris mason liz truss arrived as foreign secretary and would leave as tomorrow's prime minister — the final act of the contest to replace boris
4:09 am
johnson the outcome. inside, an expectant crowd after a long campaign awaits the candidates. rishi sunak and liz truss. and then, the result... i give notice that liz truss is elected as the leader of the conservative and unionist party. the words to follow her winning, in the hands of her husband, "a clear victory, but not a landslide." thank you for putting your faith in me to lead our great conservative party, the greatest political party on earth. i will deliver a bold plan to cut taxes and grow our economy. i will deliver on the energy crisis, dealing with people's energy bills, but also dealing with the long—term issues we have on energy supply. and she concluded with the mantra her campaign began with.
4:10 am
we will deliver, we will deliver, we will deliver. and we... and we will deliver a great victory for the conservative party in 202a. thank you. elation, smiles, and success, the crowning moment of her political career, liz truss will be prime minister tomorrow, and then confronted with an in—tray from hell. the question for her party, and for the country, will she be up to it? i think she'll be an absolutely fantastic prime minister, so, yeah, i'm really, really pleased. bluntly, it's a tough time to become prime minister. we have some huge challenges — we have, still, the covid backlog situation to deal with, the economic shocks that we're going through now, in part because of our stance we've taken on ukraine, and
4:11 am
many other challenges. what do you say to reviewers who say, "the razzmatazz is all fine, but when are we going to get that deal on energy?", because people are looking at their bills and they�* re frightened ? looking at her acceptance speech, she wants to get that done and get it done quickly and she said that on the bbc yesterday. so, i think people will see a package of measures she wants to put forward. what next, though, for the man defeated? the priority has to be to get behind liz truss, our new leader. and she will have my full support as the new conservative government gets on with delivering for the british people. if you're offered a job in her cabinet, would you accept? that's not what i'm focused on. what i can say, liz truss will have my full support as the new government gets on with delivering four people. full support, but you're not willing to serve her? well, these things, a, they're not for me, but secondly, it's not something i'm thinking about. the main opposition parties at westminster are chipper, the liberal democrats revitalised and dominant snp in scotland and labour are ahead in the polls.
4:12 am
well, we've heard far more from the latest prime minister about cuts to corporation tax over the summer than we have about the cost of living crisis, the single most important thing that's bearing down on so many millions of households. the uk is in probably the worst and most acute crisis of our lifetimes, so the responsibility on her, because she holds the powers and the resources needed to respond to this crisis, is huge. no plan to deal with the rising energy bills, the rocketing food bills, the crisis in the nhs, and that's deeply alarming. the challenges ahead — huge. the challenges now — rather more practical. things don't get any bigger at westminster than when the removal vans turn up in downing street. tomorrow, it'll be liz truss's turn, swapping her party headquarters for number 10.
4:13 am
another very busy day ahead in the british political landscape. let's get some of the day's other news. seven men and one woman have gone on trial over the 2016 bastille day attack in nice, when a gunman drove a heavy truck at high speed into a crowd gathered to watch fireworks on the riviera seafront, killing 86 people and injuring more than 400. the attacker in nice was shot dead by police and those on trial are accused of helping him. the trial is expected to last until december. the israeli army has concluded there is a high probability a renowned palestinian journalist was mistakenly killed by one of its soldiers. shireen abu akleh was shot in the head during an israeli raid in the occupied west bank in may. her family say israel has refused to take responsibility for what they called her murder. washington has called on israel to provide accountability for her death. a vigil has been held outside the home of three murder
4:14 am
victims in ireland. 18—year—old lisa cash and her eight—year—old twin siblings were found dead at their home on sunday. earlier a 24—year—old man appeared in court charged with her murder. ireland's data protection commission has fined the social media company, instagram, more than $400 million over the way it has handled children's personal data. it's the biggest such fine it's ever imposed. instagram's parent company, meta, has told ireland's state broadcaster, rte, that instagram has since changed its settings, to keep children safe and their information private. it said it planned to appeal. technology and social media privacy expertjim anderson talked to us about the significance of the ruling. my first reaction was it seemed like a very steep fine for what was described. we are light on details, the irish regulators said they would release more information but it leads you to believe and i believe this is consistent with eu privacy regulations, they base the fine largely on your ability to pay and not the transgression, so it's not
4:15 am
surprising to hear that they plan to appeal this amount. so it's difficult to assess what the transgressions were, is that what you're saying? it is with specificity and one of the other things i know meta is bound to say and instagram, with meta being the parent company, is that this problem was caused in part by instagram's desire to improve things. so recall a year or two back, instagram experimented with and rolling out the idea of hiding the like count, they didn't want instagram to be this competitive "i've got to get a certain amount of likes "to feel good about myself" situation, so particularly for younger people, they've experimented with trying to hide those counts and trying to not make it such a competition. young people being the clever folks they are noticed that business accounts didn't have that same restriction so they took their personal profiles, turned them into a business account, as though they were a business, a doughnut shop or something like that and the privacy settings on a business account, if you own a business page on instagram, you want your phone number and email to be out there because you are
4:16 am
trying to sell things. the teenagers didn't think that through and it was a good intention, bad result kind of thing and no doubt facebook will include that in their appeal. that would be meta's argument, that they tried to resolve it but kids will be kids. just about the irish data commission, why then, and they have the power to push this through? they seemingly do. gdpr and broadly the eu privacy regulations have a lot of teeth so i think they do have the power. meta has a large presence in ireland, all of these things become political at a certain point so you have to imagine, my guess is, they wanted to get the big fine, they wanted to make a big announcement, they want to make an example of meta and instagram. two years from now, by the time the appeals are exhausted, it wouldn't at all surprise me if that was much lower and we've moved on, six controversies since then so i think that's the way things tend to unfold. although never underestimate
4:17 am
the potential of an aggressive regulators saying "no, we will hold the line "and meta and instagram have the ability to pay this "fine and we are going to hold their feet to the fire," and, ultimately, that ends up being litigated. jim ends up being litigated. andison there on what will no jim andison there on what will no doubt be a long run in terms of the lawyers as well. stay with us on bbc news, still to come: crocodile shock. the race is on to protect the crocs of cuba, said to be the rarest in the world. george w bush: freedom itself was attacked this morning, - and freedom will be defended. the united states will hunt down and punish those responsible. bishop tutu now becomes spiritual leader of 100,000 anglicans here, of the blacks in soweto township, as well as the whites in their rich suburbs. we say to you today- in a loud and a clear voice,

as prime minister on tuesday. african leaders have criticised wealthy nations forfailing to turn up at a climate change summit in the netherlands. the senegalese president said he felt bitter that the world's main polluters had failed to offer funds to help africa adapt to global warming. and the congolese leader said the continent contributed the least to climate change but suffered its worst consequences. parts of chad, for example, have been flooded after heavy rains. as ikaba koyi reports. desperation looms across chad's capital as a residence try to escape scenes of flooding in their neighbourhood. shutters made with sticks and fabrics all they have to safety. it has been raining non—stop with no end in sight. nature is to brain for end in sight. nature is to

4:22 am
with only around 4,000 in the wild and illegal hunting and climate change threatening their long—term survival. so scientists are doing what they can to help protect them, as the bbc�*s tim allman explains. in the battle to save the crocodiles of cuba, every little victory counts. this baby croc had been taken by poachers but is now being returned to its natural habitat. translation: releasing - crocodiles is really impressive because we return the animal to a free life in the wild. they face several challenges, illegal hunting and the results of climate change. these are fierce little creatures, but they don't stay little for long. they usually grow to around 2m in length but some can get a lot bigger than that. the fundamental problem is they are native to only two very specific locations in cuba and they don't travel very far, so any threat to their habitat is a threat to them. researchers try to study them in the wild but sometimes they have to take

more drastic action. translation: between may and june, cuban crocodiles i make their nests and when that happens, we collect the eggs. it's the most dangerous time and we must be most careful because the cuban crocodile takes great care of its nests, with great passion, and they attack us. the long—term ambition is a thriving community of cuban crocodiles in the wild but for now, some of them have to be studied in captivity. the threat is real. the desire to protect them, even more so. tim allman, bbc news. for the first time since moving to california more than two years ago, the duchess of sussex has spoken at a public event. it was in manchester here in the uk from where our correspondentjudith moritz reports. as crowds go, this one was well warmed up before the headline act arrived. mc: please welcomej

meghan and harry... if the duke and duchess of sussex were hoping for a positive reception, they got it. cheering and applause young delegates from more than 200 countries watched meghan make herfirst speech in the uk since the couple moved to california. well, good evening, everyone. it is...very nice to be back in the uk. she talked about how parenthood has changed her. i was now married and i was now a mom. seeing the global community through the eyes of my child, and i then asked, what is this world he would come to adopt and what can we do, what can i do to make it better? i'm thrilled that my husband is able to join me this time... applause ..to be able to see and witness first—hand my respect for this incredible organisation, for all it provides and accomplishes. this event has been
4:25 am
carefully chosen by the duchess of sussex. she has a long connection with the organisation behind it, but it also means she is speaking to an international rather than solely a british audience. security around the event was arranged privately. prince harry is currently embroiled in a legal dispute with the home office about his downgrading of his police protection. the couple did get up close and personal with a few of those on stage, including halima aden, a somali american model who was born in a refugee camp. i look up to her as a young black woman myself. i feel she she is paving the way for a lot of young women. and you've got a selfie. and i got my selfie, i'm a happy trouper. she approached me, so i was like, i've got to shoot my shot. how often do you get to meet prince harry and meghan markle? so i was having a little fangirl moment. i got my selfie in and i'm so happy. the sussexes hopeful similarly warm reception for the rest of the trip.
4:26 am
for now, though, the selfie tells the story — smiles all round. judith moritz, bbc news, manchester. and that is bbc news. thanks for watching. hello there. so far, the weather for the month of september has been one of contrast. eastern england has stayed dry and quite warm. out to the west, it's been pretty wet at times, and partly responsible is this area of low pressure sitting out in the atlantic. you can see the cloud spiralling in an anticlockwise direction. that's the weather fronts, and they've been kicking in and producing some sharp, thundery downpours. this has been the last few hours, moving in through cornwall, stretching up across wales, pushing into the midlands. now, they're continuing to drift their way steadily northwards, and so they will be sitting towards southern scotland over the next few hours. behind it, slightly quieter. a little bit of patchy mist and fog. a very warm start to tuesday morning, with temperatures widely into mid—teens. still a relatively quiet start. there will be some dry weather through northern ireland
4:27 am
and parts of england and wales first thing, those showers drifting their way northwards through scotland before further sharp showers develop once again into the south—west. blustery winds will drive them further inland. again, not everywhere will see the showers — northern ireland, parts of eastern england escaping them. it will be a little bit fresher generally, but top temperatures still, with the best of the sunshine, at around 24 celsius. that's 75 fahrenheit. now, as we move into wednesday, the area of low pressure is going to just push its way a little bit further eastwards. that means that all of us are at greater risk of seeing more frequent showers, particularly areas where we've not seen too many just recently. there'll be some more persistent rain easing away from northern scotland, and then the showers will develop as we go through the day. very hit—and—miss, but they will rattle through at quite a pace, some of them still quite hefty. top temperatures of around 15—21 degrees. once again, we might see 23 degrees into east anglia. now, as we move towards the end of the week, that low pressure still has yet to clear, and then we could potentially see this little nose of high pressure building for a time.
4:28 am
and what that basically means is out to the east, with the low clearing away, it's going to stay quite showery towards the end of the working week and temperatures perhaps into the low 20s. but the further west, yes, we're likely to start off with showers on thursday, but hopefully something a little bit drier and brighter and, fingers crossed, a little quieter.
