5:07 am
in a series of stabbings has been found dead. they have also revealed the two suspects were brothers and say the second is still at large and should be considered armed and dangerous. although he has not been caught, police have already laid charges of murder and attempted murder. 18 people are known to have been wounded in the attacks. azadeh moshiri has the latest. a manhunt is under way 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.
5:08 am
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 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
5:09 am
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, 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. jason kerr is the editor of the prince albert daily herald in saskatchewan. good to talk to you again on the bbc. tell us what you know about these latest findings, the two suspects, one found dead? it the two suspects, one found dead? ., , , the two suspects, one found dead? , , , , dead? it was very surprising for a lot of _ dead? it was very surprising for a lot of people, - dead? it was very surprising for a lot of people, we -

5:12 am
said they still have a long way to go in their investigation before determining a motive, so we are certainly not ready to say that drugs were in bold but you want to know what a lot of the communities are talking about that's what it is. editor ofthe about that's what it is. editor of the prince _ about that's what it is. editor of the prince albert - about that's what it is. editor of the prince albert daily - of the prince albert daily herald. thank you. 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, "enough.

of blood and tears. enough!" translation: the difficult | decision we reached together was one that required great and exceptional courage. it's an exodus of up to 60,000 people caused by the uneven pace of political change in eastern europe. lam free! this is bbc news. the latest headlines — liz truss is preparing to take over as britain's new prime minister. she will be officially installed in a few hours' time.
5:14 am
liz truss will officially take over on tuesday, but as the current foreign secretary, she's possibly better known on the international stage than she is domestically. our correspondents have been gathering reaction to her election victory. in a moment, we'll hear from moscow and brussels, but first, here's stephen mcdonell, in beijing. in terms of the government in beijing, really, i don't think it mattered to them so much which one of these people took the reins. they both said they're going to get tough on china. well, beijing might sayjoin the queue in terms of western politicians saying they're going to get tough on china. for beijing, what they'll be watching is what goes on beyond the rhetoric — how does this new government respond? and trade, for example, it will go ahead. of course, the uk's going to keep trading with china.
5:15 am
where you have these possible areas of tension are, for example, is the truss administration going to be sending the royal navy through the south china sea as part of these navigation exercises alongside the united states, or even australia, as part of this new aukus arrangement? what will britain do in terms of taiwan? these are the big foreign policy areas where there could be tension. well, they certainly won't be cracking out the champagne in the kremlin at the news that liz truss is the new prime minister. there's no secret really that the current russian leadership does not like liz truss. it does not like her very public strong support for ukraine, it doesn't like her very public and strong opposition to the kremlin, the fact that she's publicly called for vladimir putin to be defeated in ukraine. and it didn't like her when she came to moscow back in february as british foreign secretary, when she came from meeting with sergei lavrov, the russian foreign minister.
5:16 am
to say that meeting was frosty is a bit of an understatement. i watched the press conference afterwards, and it felt as if there was a cold war going on between these two politicians. they clearly didn't like one another, and sergei lavrov said, "the conversation we had was like a deaf person talking to someone who is mute — we were listening to each other, but we couldn't hear one another." i think that will sum up the relationship between russia and the uk now that liz truss is in number ten. the german chancellor has said, "congratulations on your- new role, liz truss, i'm looking forward | to our cooperation. i look forward to our cooperation in these challenging times. the uk and germany will continue to work closelyl together as partners in france, says the german chancellor, .
5:17 am
that will be a key partnership. the president of the european parliament was quick out - of the blocks as well, _ saying democracies must remain united in standing against| autocracy and aggression. of course, one of the majorl pieces of context around this is the ongoing war in ukraine and cooperation between- the west, including - between the eu and the uk, but of course, that _ relationship has been extremely strained in recent times because of post—brexitl tensions. liz truss is very much - involved in those tensions. she stands down as the foreign secretary now as she becomesl the new uk prime minister, but she was the architect i of a very controversial piece of legislation to override - parts of a post—brexit treaty that dictated trading - agreements - for northern ireland. so, in many ways here, they don't really expect a major change in approach from the uk government. on that ongoing issue.
5:18 am
we will look at what business leaders are saying about her appointment in ten minutes. first of the us. to the us now, where, in a rare legal victory for donald trump, a court has ordered furtherjudicial oversight of materials taken from his florida home, during an fbi search, last month. an official, called a special master, will carry out a review of the documents seized by agents. our north america correspondent, gary o'donoghue, explains why this development matters. well, if you bear in mind that the former president has really faced a series of legal humiliations, notjust the searching of his property at the beginning of august, but subpoenas, boxes being carried off, has belongings being plastered all over the media, this is at least some kind of stay for him. this means there will be a judge appointed by or around ninth september who will get to review all the materials taken by the fbi from his home to see if any of them fall into the categories of his own belongings. clearly, from the list, some of them do. articles of clothing, for example. but also whether any are covered by what's called
5:19 am
either executive privilege or attorney—client privilege. that means, for the time being, the department ofjustice's criminal investigation into the removal of those documents from the white house has to stop, so they won't be able to continue investigating until this review has taken place. however, and it's a big however, because of the nature of some of the material, top secret documents, the intelligence services overseen by the office for national intelligence here, they will be able to continue an assessment of whether or not any damage has been done to national security. this is a partial legal victory for the former president, wrap nadal. it was not a good time for him recently. it was not a good time
5:20 am
for him recently. now time for a look at the sport. hello, this is your sports news, where we start with tennis, and the news that rafael nadal is out of the us open, ending his hopes of a record—extending 23rd grand slam singles title. nadal, who won the australian and french open titles earlier this year, was beaten in four sets, by the number 22 seed, frances tiafoe. the 24—year—old american is now through to the quarter—finals of a grand slam for only the second time in his career. in the women's draw, world number one and top seed iga swiatek had to battle hard to reach the last eight, with a 2—6, 6—4, 6—0 win over germany'sjule niemeier. poland's swiatek was a set and a break down, before overcoming her opponent to set up a quarter—final against 8th seeded american, jessica pegula. holders real madrid get their european champions league campaign underway later, when they face scottish champions, celtic. the i4—time champions will face the hoops in glasgow, as both sides get their group f campaigns underway. the celtic manager is very much looking forward to testing themselves against
5:21 am
the best in the game. yeah, looking forward to it, excited by it. it is a reward for a fantastic season last year, and everyone at this football club put in, and the reward is you get to play in this tournament and test yourself against the best. so yes, it is exciting, it is where we want to be and it is where we want to be and it is where we want to be and it is where we want to compete. i think that celtic are not going _ i think that celtic are not going to change their style, their— going to change their style, their attitude on the pitch. they— their attitude on the pitch. they want to play attacking football, and this is absolutely normal at their house _ absolutely normal at their house. we are not worried to defend, _ house. we are not worried to defend, because we would defend well i _ defend, because we would defend well i think a man we defended really— well i think a man we defended really well in the past. tyson fury has publicly called for a fight with anthonyjoshua, and offered
5:22 am
the former champion the chance to box this year. talks were underway to match fury, the wbc belt holder, with oleksandr usyk, the ukrainian, who beatjoshua last month, and fury had this to say on social media. anthonyjoshua, i anthony joshua, i know anthonyjoshua, i know you've just lost a fight to lussick and you are without a belt at the moment, and i would like to give you an opportunity to fight me for the wbc heavyweight championship of the world. in the european championship in the next few months. you are coming off a 12 round fight so you are match fit, you are ready, i am giving you a few months notice, if you are interested, i will send you the date over and we can rumble. a battle of britain for the wbc heavyweight championship of the world. let me know if you're interested. they have not, i will select another opponent. joshua has since responded on social media, saying he will be ready in december. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me and the rest of the team, that's your sports news, for now.

the cuban crocodile is said to be the rarest in the world. there's only around 4,000 of them living in the wild, and illegal hunting and climate change are threatening their long—term survival. teams of scientists are doing what they can to help protect them, as 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
5:24 am
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. we liked clinical at the

duchess of sussex has spoken at a public event in manchester in the uk. meghan markle gave a speech at the one young world summit, which brings together young leaders from 190 countries. it was herfirst speech since quitting her role as a senior working royal. early on monday, prince harry and meghan markle were pictured entering london's euston station as they made their way to manchester. and finally, a father and son team from germany have won the world's oldest gas balloon race. wilhelm and benjamin eimers set off on friday from st gallen in switzerland, and were airborne for two days, 12 hours and 50 seconds. they flew almost 1,600 kilometres in a straight line, along the border between germany and austria, travelling through hungary, serbia, romania, and bulgaria. they are the first father
5:26 am
and son team to win the race. it has been a busy time and liz truss has a very busy day ahead. we will talk about that in a moment. 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.
5:27 am
there will be some dry weather through northern ireland 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 southwest. 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
5:28 am
still has yet to clear, and then we could potentially see this little nose of high pressure building for a time. 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.
