panorama —— spy balloon programme has been discovered by bbc panorama. welcome back. just so you know, we are keeping across those comments from vladimir putin that he given the last half—hour so. we were knocking full translation of them and we will picture what they mean. in the meantime, we are going to head up to the bbc sport centre and get the very latest. hello, sarah. hi, lewis. let's begin with cricket. australia have won the opening match of the multi—format women's ashes series with england. the tourists wrapped up the test match with some clinical bowling on the final day, to take victory by 89 runs. england resumed on 116—5 at trent bridge but finished up 178 all out. australia had ash gardner to thank. a superb morning session saw her take all five england wickets before lunch. australia claiming all four points on offer for winning the test. there are three t20s and three odis to follow, with two points per win on offer. so, australia have the advantage in the women's ashes, as they also do in the men's ashes.

australia beat england by two wickets at edgbaston last week, and on wednesday, the second test starts at lord's. england have concerns over the fitness of spinning all—rounder moeen ali. 18—year—old rehan ahmed has been called up as cover. moeen was hampered by a cut on his finger during the first test. that's one of the concerns for captain ben stokes. vice captain ollie pope says, despite that defeat, his side remain confident. we spoke positively about the game, we spoke about what we did well, what we can improve on this week, but there is no fear of losing and thatis but there is no fear of losing and that is something this team is never going to have. we might be 2—0 down, we will see it as a chance to win 3-2, we will see it as a chance to win 3—2, and that is going to hopefully rewards over the long run in this series. it is not lost on us, the opportunity we have. some of us,

above her in the world rankings. she's a wild card for the tournament and for wimbledon, which begins next week. to football, and luka modric has signed a one—year contract extension with real madrid. it'll be his 12th season at the club. during that time, the croatian international has won five champions league trophies and three la liga titles and was winner of the ballon d'or in 2018. modric has made nearly 500 appearances for real and turns 38 in september. manchester city have confirmed their treble—winning captain ilkay gundogan hasjoined barcelona on a free transfer. the germany midfielder made more than 300 appearances for city since becoming pep guardiola's first signing back in 2016. he won 12 major trophies at the club and said it was a total privilege and pleasure to play for city, experiencing "hundreds of unforgettable moments".

and after the hollywood actors ryan reynolds and rob mcelhenney turned rex in football club around, they are now investing in one. —— turned rex a wrexham football club around. they bought the welsh side for £2 million back in 2020 and saw them promoted from non—league last season. the duo are part of a group investing in british based alpine racing. the team's parent company renault announced the sale of a 24% stake earlier on monday. that is all the sport from me for the moment, lewis. great stuff, thanks, sarah. new evidence of china's spy balloon programme, including flights overjapan and taiwan, has been uncovered by the bbc. japan has confirmed balloons have flown over its territory and said it's prepared to shoot them down in future. it follows a bbc panorama investigation that discovered evidence of one suspected surveillance balloon travelling overjapan in 2021. china has not directly addressed the evidence presented by the bbc. our security correspondent gordon corera has more details.

i am sitting in my driveway and this thing is up in the sky. it was february when residents of the us state of montana saw something strange in their skies. i know there is a lot of questions about the flying objects. the spy balloon was then spotted moving all the way across the us. they're shooting it! that balloon was eventually shot down, but its journey raised questions about the nature and reach of china's foreign surveillance operation. to find out more, bbc panorama has been working with corey jaskolski, founder of an artificial intelligence company. the ai has been sifting through millions of satellite images to track the balloon. we're looking for something that's maybe a0 meters across. and we're looking for that in millions, and millions, and millions of square kilometers of earth's surface. the balloon was tracked passing close to a us nuclear base and all the way back to a probable launch site on hainan island in china. china claimed the balloon was a civilian airship used

for scientific research, such as meteorology, and that it was an isolated event. but working with corey, the bbc can now reveal new details about other spy balloons. corey's ai programme discovered four satellite images of a balloon crossing northern japan in early september 2021. the japanese ministry of defence told the bbc that they suspected this was one of three chinese spy balloons that has flown over their territory since 2019. it is strongly presumed that the balloons were reconnaissance balloons flown by china. the ministry of defence of japan is taking all precautions to monitor the situation on a daily basis. japan says it's prepared to shoot down chinese balloons in the future. for protecting lives and property of people in the territory of japan, it is possible to respond to the situation with the use of a weapon. the ai software also found evidence

of another balloon off the coast of taiwan. the taiwanese government says it believed this was a weather balloon. but corey says that's unlikely. so i suspect, just based on the diameter of the balloon and the fact that the operating altitudes look similar, that looks an awful lot like the balloon that flew over the united states, overjapan. the chinese embassy say they respect all countries sovereignty and territorial integrity. but former us intelligence officials say they believe china may be using balloons to intercept communications. if you're trying to pick up cell phone transmissions or understand communication patterns, then i could theoretically see where the balloon could be a useful platform for that. countries spy on each other all the time. but the very public nature of china's balloon flights has drawn new attention on the potential scale and ambition of china's surveillance programme. gordon corera, bbc news. we saw corey jaskolski there, the

founder and ceo of that al company that worked with panorama to uncover this investigation. tankss very much for coming on the programme alive. you back, happy to be here. tail: for coming on the programme alive. you back, happy to be here.- you back, happy to be here. talk us throu:h, you back, happy to be here. talk us through. in — you back, happy to be here. talk us through. in the _ you back, happy to be here. talk us through, in the simplest _ you back, happy to be here. talk us through, in the simplest terms, - you back, happy to be here. talk us through, in the simplest terms, we | through, in the simplest terms, we got a little taste of it there, but in civil terms, how did the ai element of this work? you in civil terms, how did the ai element of this work? you bet. we had this data _ element of this work? you bet. we had this data from _ element of this work? you bet. we had this data from our _ element of this work? you bet. we had this data from our partner, - element of this work? you bet. we had this data from our partner, a l had this data from our partner, a satellite company, that actually clicks the entire service of earth every day, every square metre of earth daily, so we knew we had this massive archive, this basically time machine across all pasties were if there was any balloon in the detail orany there was any balloon in the detail or any other objects we were looking for, it would be in that data, but the problem is without much data, it is intractable to look through for humans, so would have taken millions of human beings to look through this data. instead, we used aai tool to my, he created, and/or slot like chatgpt, or you can chatgpt and ask

a question —— it works a lot like... you can ask a question with an image. since we didn't have an image of the balloon from satellites, no one had ever seen a balloon from satellites, we hand through what we thought it would look like, put it in an inserted searching across the entire globe. just in an inserted searching across the entire globe-— entire globe. just “ump in there, ou don't entire globe. just “ump in there, you don-t have _ entire globe. just 'ump in there, you don't have an— entire globe. justjump in there, you don't have an image - entire globe. justjump in there, you don't have an image of - entire globe. justjump in there, you don't have an image of the i you don't have an image of the balloon from the top, effectively? is that wood you were saying? we have plenty of them from the ground looking up, but none from the top? you created one and fed that into the system?— you created one and fed that into the system? that is exactly right, e -. the system? that is exactly right, yep- none — the system? that is exactly right, yep- none from — the system? that is exactly right, yep. none from the _ the system? that is exactly right, yep. none from the top, - the system? that is exactly right, yep. none from the top, from - the system? that is exactly right, yep. none from the top, from the perspective of the satellites, so we had to create want to start the search. �* ., had to create want to start the search. �* . ., , , search. and then what happened? actuall , search. and then what happened? actually, within _ search. and then what happened? actually, within the _ search. and then what happened? actually, within the first _ search. and then what happened? actually, within the first two - search. and then what happened? actually, within the first two or i actually, within the first two or three minutes, we found the first balloon in the united states. our first hit was over south carolina. we traced that balloon back to hainan island. after that, knowing that there were likely other balloons from some of the leaked

documents, we work with bbc panorama to research across other possible sites and we found three additional balloons besides the one that was shot down in the united states. 50 shot down in the united states. so you have the images, no human would have the time to find them, the ai tool does all that hard work for you, and then you plot that through time, through the images, from the previous days, to see the route of these balloons. how confident are you that these are the balloons in question? what percentage chance is it that they are something else entirely? i it that they are something else entirel ? ~ , , entirely? i think it is highly likely that _ entirely? i think it is highly likely that they're - entirely? i think it is highly likely that they're the - entirely? i think it is highly| likely that they're the same entirely? i think it is highly - likely that they're the same type of building that flew over the united states. they have the same diameter and about the same operating altitude across all of these sightings, so it looks in a flat like the same type of balloon. does this use of ai. _ like the same type of balloon. does this use of ai, deployed _ like the same type of balloon. does this use of ai, deployed in this way, basically mean in the future, or now, clearly, it is going to be much harder to hide things if any

45 minutes ago stub we played you that tape he gave in russian on russian state tv and we had bits of translation from news agencies and for my colleagues here, and i'm pleased to say that our rush editor with bbc monitoring is with me. great to see you —— rush editor. first of all, just talk us through what putin said. to first of all, just talk us through what putin said.— first of all, just talk us through what putin said. to be honest, he did not what putin said. to be honest, he did rrot say _ what putin said. to be honest, he did not say much _ what putin said. to be honest, he did not say much in _ what putin said. to be honest, he did not say much in terms - what putin said. to be honest, he did not say much in terms of- what putin said. to be honest, he i did not say much in terms of things we did not know. he criticised the people he called organisers of this mutiny, but he had kind words to say about members of lochner, the mercenary group who he said had been misled —— wagner. he claimed that he had taken steps to ensure russia's security right from the beginning of this uprising, and according to

president putin, they took time to implement, but the sneers would have been defeated anyway —— the mutineers would've been defeated anyway. he also said that the wagner fighters who were involved in, who were not involved in this uprising, they would be able to join the russian official army, or move to belarus, but throughout this relatively short press conference, it lasted only five minutes, which is not too long by vladimir putin's standards, he kept saying that russia has been saved by uc. —— by unity. he repeatedly said that russian society was united and that is what defeated this uprising. but

i wonder if he has seen the videos from rostov on don, the city that was captured by wagner on saturday, where local residents appear to have warmly welcomed the fighters, embracing them, shaking their hands and chanting wagner's name. so, as usual, there are elements of that reproach and's speeches that merit a bit of fact checking —— vladimir putin's speeches. bit of fact checking -- vladimir putin's speeches.— bit of fact checking -- vladimir putin's speeches. could you 'ust com are putin's speeches. could you 'ust compare first i putin's speeches. could you 'ust compare first his i putin's speeches. could you 'ust compare first his words �* putin's speeches. could you just compare first his words over - putin's speeches. could you just compare first his words over the weekend, when he was responding in the early days of this attempted uprising, and then the words today from talking about punishment for traders to warm words about the majority of members of the wagner

elements, very harsh critical elements, about the organisers of the uprising in today's speech, but this criticism, at least as far as his speech is concerned, it did not translate into more threats of punishment. translate into more threats of punishment-— translate into more threats of unishment. . ,. ., , , punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will punishment. ok. fascinating stuff. we will speak— punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will speak to _ punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will speak to you _ punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will speak to you again - punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will speak to you again in - punishment. 0k. fascinating stuff. we will speak to you again in a - we will speak to you again in a moment. thank you very much for now. we will be back at the top of the hour. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news. bbc news, bring you different stories from across the uk. this authority has received... one of the councillors owes this place money. he has fallen behind with council tax payments. i he has fallen behind with council tax payments-— he has fallen behind with council tax payments. i had a decision to make the subject _ tax payments. i had a decision to make the subject like _ tax payments. i had a decision to make the subject like to - tax payments. i had a decision to make the subject like to counsel| tax payments. i had a decision to i make the subject like to counsel tax or put food on the table or were my home? ., . ., or put food on the table or were my home? . , ,, , ., home? the financial pressures taught b james r home? the financial pressures taught by james r buur _ home? the financial pressures taught

stephen was 18 when he was murdered in a racist attack by a gang of young white men in south london in 1993. two of the original five prime suspects were jailed for the murder in 2012. the other three have not been convicted of the crime. our correspondent daniel de simone reports. stephen lawrence, the victim of the most notorious racist murder in british history. 30 years on, we reveal disastrous police failures and identify a key suspect for the first time. stephen was killed by a gang of young white men in eltham, south london, in 1993. the met police's handling of the case led to the force being branded institutionally racist. they had no intention of finding the people who killed my son. i've got no confidence in these people to do anything when it comes down to this case. there were five prime suspects.

two were finally convicted a decade ago. but stephen's friend duwayne brooks, who survived the attack, said there were six attackers. our investigation today identifies a new suspect for the first time — this man, matthew white — and reveals serious failings by the met. white's stepfather contacted the met after the murder, but the wrong name for him was put into a database and the lead was not pursued. a new investigator traced the right man 20 years later. i knocked on his door and said, "i'm coming to talk to you about steven lawrence murder", to which he said, "you're rushing this job, aren't you, officer?" he actually said that to me. the stepfather said white admitted to being present at the attack. it wasn'tjust him. another witness had given a statement to the met years before, in 2000, saying white told him he was part of the attack.

and i've got surveillance photos from 1993, that show white looked like the unidentified lead attacker described by stephen's friend and eyewitnesses. white died in this bedsit in 2021, a year after the met stopped investigating stephen's murder. scotland yard told us matthew white was arrested and interviewed in 2000 and in 2013, and that prosecutors twice said there wasn't enough evidence to charge. the evidence relating to matthew white implicates the three prime suspects, who remain free. deputy assistant commissioner matt ward told us...

after so many police failings, will there ever be fulljustice for stephen lawrence? joining me live now is michael mansfield kc, who represented the lawrence family in both their private prosecution for murder and the public inquiry into the case. thank you very much for coming on the programme. thank you very much for coming on the programme-— thank you very much for coming on | the programme._ first the programme. good evening. first of all, the programme. good evening. first of all. what — the programme. good evening. first of all. what is _ the programme. good evening. first of all, what is your _ the programme. good evening. first of all, what is your reaction - the programme. good evening. first of all, what is your reaction to - of all, what is your reaction to that report that we have just watched? it that report that we have 'ust watched? , that report that we have 'ust watched?�* that report that we have 'ust watched? , , ,, ., watched? it is shocking of the actual murder _ watched? it is shocking of the actual murder was _ watched? it is shocking of the actual murder was bad - watched? it is shocking of the i actual murder was bad enough, watched? it is shocking of the - actual murder was bad enough, and appalling, racist murder, as you describe, bullet is commensurate with that and equally bad is the nature of this investigation and the big question that remains, and i will come to a little detail in a moment, the big question is, how was it in the case of this kind, they don't come much more serious than murder, that so many mistakes were

made of such a magnitude, so often, and so obvious? you have to step back and say, a child of seven a macro even younger, maybe, could have put this case together. it is serious and the justice of this case is yet to be seen. apologies are welcome but actually accountability of the police force throughout, a police force which is presently regarded as not fit for purpose, is actually reflective of the very situation that faced stephen lawrence and his family in 1993. the situation that faced stephen lawrence and his family in 1993. prime consideration here is that this is not a new suspect, so i'd like to change the emphasis if i may in your report. this man from his description, first of all, was known to the police at the time. he was given an alias, k. it is very difficult to see why he should have

been, because he was not exact cooperating, not giving them information, so that is odd for a start off. but the basic point is that the informer they did have, who walked into the police station within 2a hours of this murder, gave them names, give them addresses, give them background, and they did not develop it. there were no arrests over that first weekend when there should have been, including white, whose name they knew, whose description they knew, he should've been arrested, put on id parade. the three witnesses who gave the same description of the pond assailant, the others were all with dark hair —— blonde assailant. this is where false were made, they were serious, but they did notjust happen then, because after that police repeatedly, including by sir william next years in the inquiry, asked the police, what happened? this man who provided information to the informer was next he told the police, i will tell you where i got the

information, accurate information, it was from matthew wade. it does not take a lot of putting together, as you have gathered. sorry it is taking a bit of time to explain it... ~ , ., taking a bit of time to explain it... ~ taking a bit of time to explain it... when you say the word accountability, _ it... when you say the word accountability, and - it... when you say the word accountability, and that - it... when you say the word accountability, and that is l it... when you say the word . accountability, and that is what it... when you say the word - accountability, and that is what you would like to see, what does that mean? it would like to see, what does that mean? ., , ., would like to see, what does that mean? . , ., . , mean? it means that, officers were been identified _ mean? it means that, officers were been identified over _ mean? it means that, officers were been identified over the _ mean? it means that, officers were been identified over the years, - been identified over the years, first of all, in the next verse inquiry but since then, officers at every stage of every level, a lot of them very senior, some are deceased now there needs to be a roll call of accountability —— macpherson inquiry. which officers took which decisions? and also address the key point. neville said it's night. they never intended to find the killers. it is notjust institutional racism, it is collusion, and corruption, between certain elements of the criminal fraternity at southeast london and the police force

this monday with high pressure to the south of the uk, low pressure pulling away to the northeast. a few showers to come through the remainder of the day across the northern half of the uk. most of them fading out, though, once the sun begins to set. central and eastern areas staying clear overnight. towards the west, a bit been getting, but it more cloud arriving, the breeze lifting a little. a cooler night than last night. in many spots last night temperatures didn't get out of the mid—teens. they will be lower tonight, perhaps as low as six degrees somewhere in eastern scotland. and then through tuesday, an area of low pressure tries to approach from the atlantic, feeding in a lot of high cloud, turning sunshine hazy. some rain into northern england, northern ireland and scotland as we go into the afternoon. to the south, bright skies and highs of 21, 22 degrees, 16 or 17 for northern scotland. and then overnight and into wednesday, we really start to pull in some humidity from the south. quite a muggy start to wednesday, a warmer night again — tuesday night. and then for wednesday, daytime, quite a lot of cloud around, some heavier and more persistent rain getting into scotland,

northern england, and then some showers potentially running across eastern england that could at times be heavy and thunder. and you can see the temperatures here have come back up again up into the mid twenties, 25 degrees, 17, 18 across most of scotland and northern ireland. and then it's what this trailing weather front does on thursday that is the biggest question, possibly, in ourforecast for the week ahead. will it stick around close to the southeast of the uk, bringing some much needed rain here, or will it whisk away a little faster? current thinking has it perhaps bringing a decent amount of rain to the south east of england on thursday, 10—15 millimetres for some areas. but as we look at our forecast day on day, that is just changing a little. so we will firm that up close to the time for you. but as you can see, towards the end of the week, we move back to that fresher feeling air.

hello, i'm lewis vaughanjones. you're watching the context on bbc news. in the last hour, president putin has given a live address on russian state television saying authorities reacted quickly to quell a rebellion by the wagner group. this is yevgeny prigozhin's attempt to answer, he says, a lot of questions that he's
