media correspondent, marianna spring, has more. totnes in devon was one of the places where the conspiracy theory movement boomed during the pandemic. now, a motivated minority continue to protest and distribute the light paper. access to your money will be owned by and controlled by the state! former town mayor ben piper says he's become a key target for the movement. he fears an article about him in the light paper exacerbated the harassment he experienced. i've had people drive their car at me, i've been shouted at in the street, i've had people confront me in the supermarket, shoving their phones in my face. sinister telephone calls from strangers who don't identify themselves, you know, of an evening, and stuff like that. as well as more mundane articles, there are others promoting disinformation about vaccines, the financial system, and climate change. one recent article talks about the use of force
11:53 am
against "aggressors like the government". in print and on its telegram channels, there are calls for war—crime—style trials for mp5, medics and journalists they see as complicit in plots to harm people with the vaccine. i went to meet the editor of the light, darren nesbitt. the build—up to this interview has been pretty hostile, and darren has insisted that he will ask me questions as well as me asking him questions. we believe in the right of people to hold ideas, hold thoughts, ideas and express their views. you know, if you take one iota from that away, we're now down the road of censorship, of thought control. do you think that calls for action in the paper — for people to take action to do something — could result in action that is not peaceful? of course! i mean, you know, people make their own decisions and they need to be responsible for their own actions. people should not be passive and just let the world, you know,

change around them, because there is, you know, an agenda and a purpose behind it, and it's not for their own best interests. the light is also related to a german paper, called democratic resistance. whistle—blowers have revealed to me how some of the german paper's writers, and one of its key donors, met with members of the reichsburger group, who were behind a failed coup attempt in germany in december 2022. markus heinz stopped writing for the paper because he felt it had become too extreme. you cannot say, ok, on twitter i'm nice, and on telegram i say "kill them all." for me, the biggest problem is that the people who write in this newspaper do not say anything about it. i don't understand it. the editor of democratic resistance, anselm lenz, did not reply to points raised by the bbc. he said, "if needed, we are willing to take the fight by all means." closer to home, the inclination towards hateful rhetoric brings with it a risk of action offline.

marianna spring, bbc news. around 13,000 people have been evacuated in north—east philippines, as one of the country's most active volcanoes, the mayon, has been spewing lava since last week. those living within the "permanent danger zone", or a six—kilometre radius, fled to shelters as volcanic activity intensified over the weekend. the country's chief volcanologist,teresito bacolcol, said more people could be evacuated in the coming days if mayon�*s unrest intensifies. so it was a big weekend of sport — the champions league final, french open tennis and... the world custard pie throwing championships in sunny southern england. 30 teams took part including one from japan. each match lasts only 30 seconds and a direct pie in the face
11:56 am
scores maximum points. after endless knock—out rounds the eventual winning team was the appropiately named pie face. now it's time for a look at the weather. hello there. it's going to be another hot, sunny, humid afternoon but with some big thunderstorms developing as well, as we'll see in a moment. we started off the day, though, with these red skies over redcar and cleveland. over the weekend, the first heatwave of the year has certainly arrived, temperatures peaking at 32.2 degrees celsius on saturday in chertsey. that's the mark to beat. we'll get quite close to that later on this afternoon, with temperatures expected to reach 31 or 32 degrees. the hotspots across parts of northern england and southern scotland. lots of hot and sunny weather around today. a few showers building over the high ground in scotland, a few for western counties of northern ireland. but the biggest storms today will be where the winds kind of bash together and converge
11:57 am
in a zone across wales, the midlands, central, southern england towards east anglia and the greater london area. some of those storms could bring us 30 millimetres of rain injust the space of one hour, hence the risk of seeing some flash flooding. temperatures are still a little bit underdone in the computer models at the moment. 30 around greater london looks possible, 28 around the birmingham area and about 30 degrees around the greater manchester area for example. so very hot weather. those thunderstorms continue to rumble away during the evening and after such a hot day, those temperatures will be slow to come down. indeed, at ten o'clock at night, we'll still be widely up into the 20s in many of our towns and cities. beyond that, the last of the day's storms will slowly fade away as we get past the midnight hour and the skies will increasingly become clear. might be one or two mist and fog patches around by dawn. 0n into tuesday's forecast, a subtle change. the air is less humid and that means it should be a much drier day
11:58 am
across england and wales. any showers limited to west scotland and across northern ireland where there could be, again, a few hefty thundery downpours. still hot, temperatures widely again reaching the upper 20s through tuesday afternoon. high pressure, then, continues to dominate the weather picture through the rest of this week, through the weekend and we'll probably still be just about clinging on into parts of next week. however, eventually we will see some rain arriving next week towards the south—west of england, but otherwise, lots of hot and sunny weather through the rest of this week. bye for now.
