there is absolutely no way that any of us are going to truly know what was in his head. the public inquiry begins into the death of dawn sturgess who was poisioned by a nerve agent in salisbury six years ago. several solders are killed and more than 60 people injured, in a hezbollah strike on an army base in northern israel. revolut was named in more complaints about fraud last year than any of the uk's biggest banks or e—money services. we'll hear from customers who say they lost thousands to scammers. victory for england following a moment of magic from trent alexander—arnold. but does interim manager lee carsley really want the job full time? good morning. temperatures are set to rise this week are potentially some of us could see 20 or 21 degrees. we are pulling in a

southerly wind. but whether that will come a fair bit of cloud and some heavy rain. i will have the details shortly. the fbi and the us secret service are investigating after a man found with guns, ammunition and fake documents in his car was arrested outside a donald trump rally in california. the republican presidential candidate has been the subject of two assassination attempts in recent months. the suspect in california was later released on bail after being detained at a checkpoint in the town of coachella. 0ur north america correspondent, peter bowes, has more. donald trump in coachella, a town better known for its annual music festival than politics. but the former president was here in california campaigning for every vote he can get, even in this staunchly democratic state. and the security around him

has never been tighter. before mr trump arrived at the event, the police stopped a man at a checkpoint who gave his name as vem miller and claimed to have a vip invitation to attend. but the police searched his car and say they found several guns and ammunition. he approached the outside perimeter. sheriff chad bianco, who is an elected official and has previously expressed support for donald trump, later spoke to reporters about the suspect who was taken into custody. what we do know is he showed up with multiple passports with different names, an unregistered vehicle with fake license plate and loaded firearms. if you're asking me right now, i probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt. the us secret service said donald trump had not been in any danger, while federal officials said there was no indication of an assassination attempt connected to the incident, which is still under investigation.

the suspect was later released and will appear in court at a later date on weapons charges. donald trump's campaign issued a statement thanking law enforcement for securing the rally site. lessons were learned when the former president was almost killed injuly while speaking in pennsylvania. that was before another alleged assassination attempt at his florida golf course in september. whether or not this weekend's incident was another attempt to harm mr trump, it highlights the intense efforts under way to keep him safe with just three weeks to go before the election. peter bowes, bbc news, los angeles. we will bring you the latest on the story as it develops through the morning. no more of —— now, more of the day's news withjon. a public inquiry into the salisbury nerve agent poisonings opens today. the hearings will examine every detail of the incident which lead

to the death of dawn sturgess, after she inadvertently came into contact with a perfume bottle containing the substance novichok. 0ur correspondent, duncan kennedy, has more. this was dawn sturgess just a week before she died. the tragic conclusion to months of events concerning spies, nerve agents and perfume bottles. dawn was 44 and the mother of three children. the story had begun four months earlier here in a quiet cul de sac in salisbury. it was the home not of dawn sturgess, but of a russian man. he was sergei skripal, who's believed to have worked for british intelligence, and he became the target of an assassination attempt by moscow. he and his daughter yulia, who was visiting him, came to be poisoned with a nerve agent called novichok. the front door of mr skripal�*s house had been smeared with the agent. what happened here will be just one of the points of investigation for the new public inquiry. sergei skripal never did return to his home here and after months

of decontamination work, it was later sold. the judge in the inquiry says neither mr skripal nor his daughter yulia will give live evidence because, he said, they still face a significant risk to their safety. central to the public inquiry will be the role these three men played. they're all believed to have worked for russian military intelligence. two of them were filmed in and around salisbury at the time sergei and yulia skripal were poisoned. russia has always denied any involvement. it's believed the two men delivered the novichok in this perfume—like bottle that was discovered by the partner of dawn sturgess. charlie rowley took the bottle home to dawn and three days later she fell ill. their flat in amesbury was sealed off. dawn never recovered and died a few days later.

in the years that followed, their home was demolished, leaving just a patch of grass and trees, as well as questions about how it had all happened. salisbury�*s mayor says everyone involved wants the new inquiry to bring justice. do we need a public inquiry? will we find anything else out that we don't know? possibly, but probably not. the stuff that is secret will stay secret forever, and that will never come out, rightly so. but i think for those directly affected, yeah, it's important that part of the inquiry is held in the city where the event actually happened. the public inquiry is chaired by lord hughes of 0mbersley. it will hear evidence in salisbury and in london, and is due to report next year, producing the definitive version of this extraordinary, tragic story. duncan kennedy, bbc news. we willjoin

we will join duncan we willjoin duncan in salisbury later in the programme. israel says a hezbollah drone attack on a military base in the north of the country has killed four soldiers and left more than 60 other people injured. the iranian—backed group said the attack in binyamina, just south of the city of haifa, was in retaliation for israel's strikes on lebanon. 0ur reporter vincent mcavenny has more. the aftermath of what hezbollah described as a swarm of attack drones on an israeli army training camp in binyamina, just south of haifa. many of those injured were in a communal canteen when it was struck. pictures on social media show a huge hole was torn in the roof. the israeli defence forces say several soldiers were killed and more than 60 were taken to eight regional hospitals in ambulances and helicopters. some were critically injured. translation: i arrived at the scene when there was already rescue - forces giving treatment.

some 10,000 un peacekeepers from 50 countries are stationed in lebanon. meanwhile, in gaza, at least 22 palestinians were killed and 80 were wounded on sunday night in an israeli attack on a school which was sheltering displaced families. and all the while, the world awaits israel's response to iran's bombardment two weeks ago. it's unclear how, when and where they'll strike back, but only that despite fears it could lead to an all—out middle east war, they will do so soon. vincent mcaviney, bbc news. let's get more on this with our correspondent jonathan head in beirut. jonathan, already high between israel and lebanon, this is only going to increase clearly? the tensions are already high? yes. going to increase clearly? the tensions are already high? yes, the statement from _ tensions are already high? yes, the statement from hezbollah - tensions are already high? yes, the statement from hezbollah was - tensions are already high? yes, the statement from hezbollah was a . statement from hezbollah was a reminder that it is you could say still in the game despite the

devastating israeli air strikes that have killed much of its leadership over the past three weeks and it's believed destroyed many of its weapons. the israeli events minister saying he believes hezbollah only has a third of its missile stockpile left, but that is a big missile stockpile. the estimate was over 100,000 missiles and rockets. this attack was not carried out by missiles or precision weapons but relatively low tack drones. hezbollah has warned in a statement, we have —— you have only seen a fraction of what we can do yet. we don't know how true that is and we don't know how true that is and we do know know what their capabilities are, but this is the most deadly attack on israel since the escalation of the campaign and battle of and the battle with hezbollah a few weeks ago. this conflict has a long way to go. multiple air strikes in lebanon over the weekend, notably not in beirut, but in many other places, 51 people

killed. israel has a lot more target and i suspect we will see more strikes in the next few days as a response to this attack on binyamina and the many casualties that caused in israel. , ., . . and the many casualties that caused in israel. , ., ., ., ., ~ and the many casualties that caused in israel. , ., . ., ., ~ , ., us presidentjoe biden has visited florida, as the state recovers from two back—to—back hurricanes, helene and milton. he said more than $500 million would be made available for restoring power grids damaged by the storms. more than three million homes and businesses are without electricity in the wake of the hurricanes, which together killed more than 250 people across the southeastern united states. flood defences in the uk are in the worst state since records began, that's according to the minister in charge of planning for flooding. emma hardy said the situation was extremely worrying, after the wettest 18 months on record in england. her warning comes ahead of the anniversary of storm babet, which saw more than 2,000

homes flooded nationwide. china has announced what appear to be large—scale military exercises on all sides of taiwan. the taiwanese defence ministry described the exercises as irrational and provocative. officials on the democratically governed island said it would deploy its own forces in response but would not escalate the conflict. jurors will begin hearing evidence in the trial of three people accused of killing ten—year—old sara sharif today. herfather, stepmother and uncle all deny murder, as well as causing or allowing the death of a child. helena wilkinson reports. sara's body was discovered at her home in surrey in august last year. she was found alone. herfather, stepmother and her uncle are charged with her murder and causing or allowing the death of a child. urfan sharif, beinash batool and faisal malik lived with the ten year old before her death. the day before sara's body was found, they travelled to islamabad in pakistan.

last week at the old bailey, a jury was sworn in ahead of their trial, and today the prosecution is expected to lay out the case against the three defendants. mr sharif, miss batool and mr malik were arrested when they returned to the uk in september last year. two days later they were charged. a postmortem examination found sara had sustained multiple and extensive injuries before her death. the trial is expected to last up to nine weeks. helena wilkinson, bbc news. sir keir starmer will pledge to scrap regulation that "needlessly holds back investment" at a major international business conference today. his government is expected to unveil investment deals worth billions. 0ur chief political correspondent henry zeffman is in westminster.

think politically, it's an attempt for the government to draw a line under what have been a difficult first 100 days in office and show that they are moving on. but economically as well, this is the government trying to find a way to boost growth in the uk. you will hear from boost growth in the uk. you will hearfrom keir starmer boost growth in the uk. you will hear from keir starmer about cutting red tape as one way of doing so. all eyes also on the budget which will come at the end of the month. henry, thank ou. the strictly come dancing professional, katya jones, has dismissed suggestions that her celebrity partner wynne evans made herfeel uncomfortable during saturday's show. clips from the programme show her moving his hand when he puts it on her waist and her appearing to avoid a high five from him. in a video posted on social media, jones later said the incidents were an "insidejoke" between the pair. a three—armed robot has successfully conducted a concert orchestra in germany. the robot, which was holding

three glowing batons, guided the musicians of the dresden sinfoniker through a specifically composed piece of music. it took two years to develop and train the machine to successfully conduct the orchestra. artistic director markus rindt said it wasn't intended to replace human conductors, but to perform complex music that might be otherwise impossible. but if it's complex music which is impossible to conduct, what about the poor position to have to play it? w , , . ~ it? their faces were picture! a violinist looking _ it? their faces were picture! a violinist looking at _ it? their faces were picture! a violinist looking at a _ it? their faces were picture! a - violinist looking at a computerised robot arm, they look a bit confused. it is all over for us, robot arm, they look a bit confused. it is all overfor us, jon. we robot arm, they look a bit confused. it is all over for us, jon.— it is all over for us, jon. we will alwa s it is all over for us, jon. we will always need _ it is all over for us, jon. we will always need carol _ it is all over for us, jon. we will always need carol and - it is all over for us, jon. we will always need carol and her - it is all over for us, jon. we will - always need carol and her computers! when they work! good morning. this morning we have heavy rain across southern england, showery rain across the north, in between it is

dry. as we go through the week, it's going to turn world. from mid week, we are looking at heavier rain coming way. if we are stepping out, it is mild in the south, newquay1li degrees. where we have clearer skies in the north, a clear start. it is a colder start. in the north, a clear start. it is a colderstart. heavy in the north, a clear start. it is a colder start. heavy rain is pushing east today, showery rain across scotland. in between clearer skies so lower temperatures but when the sun comes out it will be with us. the rain will pull away from the south—east but in its wake there will be cloud, murky and damp conditions, showers potentially. later it could be brightening up across west wales and south—west england. northern ireland, northern england. northern ireland, northern england and scotland, dry weather, sunshine, gusty winds across the north west and these are the

temperatures. it is this evening and overnight, once again we are looking at a fair bit of cloud around. some breaks in the far north and we are likely to see some frost here. generally speaking, many of us in high single figures or low double figures. wednesday we could see 20 or 21 depending on the sunshine amounts in the south—east. positively tropical, carol. thank you very much. nearly! for centuries, european bison roamed the uk, european bison became extinct in the uk more than 6000 years ago but recently they've been reintroduced in kent. in the last two years, the herd has doubled from three to six, which means they need more space so bridges are being built to allow the bison to roam more freely and give visitors a better chance of spotting them. 0ur reporter, charlie rose, has the story.

it is an extraordinary sight. bison back in blean woods boosting biodiversity. but big animals like these need a big space in which to roam, especially when the herd is growing. so huge pedestrian bridges are being built to expand the site from 50 hectares, about the size of 50 rugby pitches, to 200. this is the first bridge being constructed out of four bridges that are going to link together all of our bison compartments, ourareas where our european bison currently are living, and they're part of our wilding approach to west blean here to to help manage the site in as natural way as possible. bison became extinct in britain 6,000 years ago, but were reintroduced here in 2022 as part of a pioneering restoration project to improve the woodland ecosystem. if you're wondering where the bison are today, well, they're somewhere behind this very high security fence. that's because they fall under the dangerous wild animals act, and these woods are crisscrossed

with public footpaths. so to get around that, walkers will use the bridges while also getting a better vantage point to watch the animals explore their much larger home. in places like mainland europe, the space to roam would be limitless, wouldn't it? so is even 200 hectares enough for these these huge beasts? well, it's a good question. 200 hectares is still a limited space, so obviously we will always have a limited number of bison within that landscape. and it's quite important that we're all fully aware of that. so we don'tjust let the herd grow and grow so that they're out—utilising all of the resources that are available that is very carefully managed through the breeding programme. the project is costing £1 million, paid for by a number of public bodies and private donors. but those behind it hope that one day the fences can be taken down to allow people to walk among

the bison here, just like they did thousands of years ago. they're a chilly very cute. when the are they're a chilly very cute. when they are little, _ they're a chilly very cute. when they are little, very _ they're a chilly very cute. when they are little, very brave - they're a chilly very cute. when they are little, very brave of. they are little, very brave of charlie rose who did that report, very close to them! let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph leads on the international investment summit in london, highlighting economic concerns among city bosses. the "pm's tax on jobs will scare away business", its headline warns. elsewhere, the guardian reports that leading academics have warned that redundancies and course closures risk wiping out black scholarships in the uk, which it says have played a leading role in addressing racial disparities in higher education. the daily express focuses on immigration, looking at contracts at processing centres, which it says are due

to expire in 2032. "labour �*betrays' voters with eight more years of illegal migration", its headline says. and the daily mail reports that prime minister sir keir starmer is facing calls for an independent inquiry over the decision to grant taylor swift a police escort for two of her eras tour concerts in august. if you missed these pictures over the weekend, we just wanted to have another look at these extraordinary images. elon musk�*s starship rocket has completed a world first after part of it was captured on its return to launch pad with its engineers declaring it a day for the history books. it is remarkable, isn't it? that is uuite a it is remarkable, isn't it? that is quite a bit _ it is remarkable, isn't it? that is quite a bit of _ it is remarkable, isn't it? that is quite a bit of parking. _ it is remarkable, isn't it? that is quite a bit of parking. i - it is remarkable, isn't it? that is quite a bit of parking. i thoughtl it is remarkable, isn't it? that is| quite a bit of parking. i thought it was 'ust quite a bit of parking. i thought it was just the _ quite a bit of parking. i thought it was just the reversed _ quite a bit of parking. i thought it wasjust the reversed video. - quite a bit of parking. i thought it wasjust the reversed video. it. wasjust the reversed video. it actually managed to park back in the same place again. the spacex vehicle's lower half managed to manoeuvre back beside its launch tower

authorities in the capital that some could be on the cusp of financial collapse. councils here are facing a £600 million overspend this year, and are asking for support in this month s budget. the government has said it will give boroughs multi—year funding settlements to provide more stability. bromley council in south london says it's among those at risk as it receives less money than those in inner london. it's the outer london boroughs that are falling over the cliff first. some have gone already, some we know are about to go. even good old bromley is on that conveyor belt. we think we have about three more years left in us before finance becomes unsustainable. london's new super sewer, designed to reduce the amount of raw sewage that flows into the river thames, has opened for the first time. known officially as the thames tideway tunnel, data shows that during a storm last month it captured almost 600,000 square metres of sewage.

the project — which took eight years to build at a cost of around £4.5 billion — was paid for by increasing water bills over several decades. the british library is unveiling a major new project, and it's nothing to do with books. hundreds of solar collectors have been installed on its roof, with the aim of generating energy and cutting the building's carbon emissions by 55 tonnes a year. it's said to be the largest solar heat project of its kind in the uk. taking a look at the tubes now... and there's a good service so far this morning. well, it's certainly been a wet start to the morning — let's get the forecast now with katerina. hello there, good morning to you. a dull start to our monday morning. it's unsettled with low cloud out and outbreaks of rain. you can see the green in that rain, indicating the heavier bursts. but any rain, any spots of drizzle to follow, will eventually clear as the morning progresses.

so, most certainly an improving picture as we head into the afternoon with much drier conditions. but we are going to hold onto mostly cloudy skies. quite a bit of low cloud lingering. we're looking at highs today of around 13 degrees with a moderate breeze. so this evening and overnight it stays largely dry. a few clear spells at first, but cloudy skies by the end of the night, and our temperatures will fall away to about nine to ten degrees. on tuesday there's going to be a lot of dry weather around. also, again, quite a bit of cloud lingering. it may well brighten up occasionally through the afternoon, but notice our temperatures on the rise. so a much milder day tomorrow, with highs of 18 degrees. and on wednesday we could be seeing highs of 20 degrees. sunny skies at first, cloudier later, with some rain. that's it from me for now. do head to our website though. plenty there, including the story about how cyclists on penny farthings broke 12 guinness world records in east london yesterday. i'll be back with your local news, travel and weather

physical branches. set up only nine years ago, it already has an estimated 45 million customers worldwide. in the uk, ?it gained popularity through its currency exchange services. recently, it was valued in the region of £34 billion — more than a number of the big banksm including barclays. but it has not been plain sailing. the company was named in more complaints about fraud last year than any of the uk s biggest banks?or e—money services. nearly 10,000, according to action fraud, the organisation responsible reporting fraud and cybercrime. bbc panorama has been speaking to customers who say scammers took tens of thousands of pounds from their accounts, and that revolut failed to protect them. marc ashdown reports. hi, good afternoon, canj i speak to laura bailey? yes, speaking. this is a recording of a scam call. hi, fantastic. my name's chris, calling from the revolut fraud prevention team. i how are you doing today?

the fraudster�*s pretending to be from revolut. his target was laura bailey. she sells running gear from a shop in lincolnshire and has an account with revolut. her phone line automatically recorded the conversation. she's listening back for the first time. i i'lljust go through the paymentl details of yourself now, the ones that were obviously flagged up. he asked me to go onto the website and do some checks. the fraudster tells laura her account is under attack and he's there to help. in reality, he's trying to get access to her
