that is up more than 20% from the last us election. the information they show is not necessarily true, but do they work? let's speak to drjacob neiheisel, political communications expert at the university at buffalo. if you live in one of those battleground states it is overwhelming. anyway the political parties think they can get to you. let's take a look at some of those campaign ads. the first is from the trump campaign and the second

a youtube clip from the harris campaign. radical kamala harris created the border crisis. thousands of accused murderers, rapists, even terrorists pour in. kamala created the border crisis. she won't fix it now. who will trump look out for in his second term? i think i could have - a very good relationship with president putin. i'm not disavowing that. he called me a genius. it's not you. who oversees these campaign ads? , ., �* who oversees these campaign ads? , , ads? they don't necessarily have to be _ ads? they don't necessarily have to be truthful. - ads? they don't necessarily have to be truthful. in - ads? they don't necessarily| have to be truthful. in terms of who oversees them, that would be the fcc sea has some say over what goes on over public airways and the federal election commission has a hand in what is within bounds. in the united states, the first

from repeating untrue claims about a syrian refugee. tommy robinson has beenjailed for contempt of court for 18 months after repeatedly breaking a court order that bans him from repeating untrue claims about a syrian refugee. that is coming to us from woolwich crown court. to the georgia elections now and the kremlin has "strongly rejected" accusations by the country's president and opposition leaders that moscow interfered to alter the result of saturday's vote. salome zourabichvili said the election results were in her words a "total falsification, a total stealing" of votes. she said she did not recognise the results, saying georgians had fallen victim to a russian

special operation. she has called on people to gather outside the parliament in tbilisi later today to protest against the result. let's cross live now to tbilisi where we can speak to our correspondent rayhan demytrie. firstly, that call from the president for people to turn out in protest. do we expect that in large numbers? we'll have to wait _ that in large numbers? we'll have to wait and _ that in large numbers? we'll have to wait and see, - that in large numbers? we'll have to wait and see, but. that in large numbers? we'll. have to wait and see, but given the protest that we saw in georgia just a few months back, when people were protesting against the foreign influence bill, that gives us an indication that potentially it could be quite a large protest tonight as well in tivoli c. mainly by those who voted for the country was back opposition. they are mainly young people who were voting on saturday for their country's european future. when the official results came through, putting the georgian dream in the lead with 5a% of the vote,

thatis the lead with 5a% of the vote, that is according to preliminary results, there was quite a lot of disappointment amongst those who voted for the opposition. amongst those who voted for the opposition-— opposition. where there are official election _ opposition. where there are official election monitors - opposition. where there are official election monitors on | official election monitors on hand? , ., , ., hand? yes there were lots of monitors. — hand? yes there were lots of monitors, local— hand? yes there were lots of monitors, local observers - hand? yes there were lots of| monitors, local observers and international observers. they have reported widespread violations and irregularities. yesterday they were giving their assessment of the election day talking about the pressure on voters, particularly on public sector workers who were under pressure from the governing party to vote in their favour. from the governing party to vote in theirfavour. and other violations were listed by international and local observers. victor 0rban of hungary, the first leader to

emulate the hungarian right—wing conservative nationalism. just last month they passed an anti—lgbt law in georgia, arguing that european liberal values where not accepted by the traditional georgian society.- accepted by the traditional georgian society. thank you so much. georgian society. thank you so much- in _ georgian society. thank you so much. in the _ georgian society. thank you so much. in the past _ georgian society. thank you so much. in the past few- georgian society. thank you so much. in the past few minutes| much. in the past few minutes salome zourabichvili has been speaking to a russian editor. the will of the georgian people which _ the will of the georgian people which was to be reflected in the selection is to keep it european future. maybe we will not he — european future. maybe we will not be able to achieve it today or tomorrow. not be able to achieve it today ortomorrow. it not be able to achieve it today or tomorrow. it depends on a number— or tomorrow. it depends on a number of— or tomorrow. it depends on a number of things that can be done — number of things that can be done. there can be a call for new— done. there can be a call for new elections. in what period of time, _ new elections. in what period of time, i_ new elections. in what period

the former president of the philippines has angrily defended his record, at a public inquiry into his deadly war on drugs. rodrigo duterte told the senate committee he took full legal responsibility for the crackdown. shortly after he came into power, mr duterte ordered a violent police campaign targetting drug users and traffickers. police say more than six thousand drug suspects were shot dead. rights groups say between twelve thousand and thirty thousand people were killed by police and paramilitary groups — many in their homes. pakistan has begun a massive nationwide polio vaccination campaign after a surge in the number of cases this year. officials say they aim to vaccinate more than a5 million children under the age of five in a week—long door—to—door campaign. wild polio cases in pakistan have jumped to a1 this year triggering worries. more than half the cases were from balochistan province. a prolific vietnamese people smuggler has shared details of the forgery, fraud and deceit used to enable migrants heading for the uk to gain european visas, opening a pathway to crossing the channel in small boats.

over 2,000 vietnamese have crossed the channel so far this year, making them the single highest national group in small boat arrivals. it has also been the deadliest year on record for those attempting the crossing, with more than 50 people killed in the water between northern france and england. andrew harding has been speaking to the smuggler as part of an extensive investigation into why so many vietnamese people are choosing such a dangerous route to great britain. as the death toll in the channel soars, another change is under way here, too. a new group filling the small boats heading to the uk and crowding into the makeshift migrant camps in northern france. vietnamese. almost overnight, they've become the single largest nationality being smuggled into britain by boat as new migrant routes through europe open up. these vietnamese tell me they're escaping business debts and loan sharks back home. are you aware that what you're trying to do here, this crossing to the uk, is incredibly dangerous and illegal?

yes, i'm aware of that. and that doesn't stop you. why not? i have no other choice, he replies. if i return to vietnam, i have nothing there. i sold my house, but it wasn't enough to pay off my debt. in britain, meanwhile, the police are concerned that many of the vietnamese are being trafficked here, as has happened in the past. i'm arresting you on suspicion of facilitating the illegal entry of non—uk nationals into the united kingdom. criminal gangs forcing the migrants into conditions of modern slavery. to understand more, we've made contact with a vietnamese smuggler in the uk. we'll call him tan. it's a very lucrative business. if you have a good reputation, the clients come to you. no force, no violence. tan arrived in britain earlier this year by small boat. he's now claiming asylum.

tan himself became involved in smuggling years ago, running a gang in france at a time when people hid on lorries rather than taking small boats. later he moved back to vietnam and began forging documents for people trying to get visas in europe. we've agreed to keep his identity confidential in return for his insights into the smuggling business. he's showing me here some of the documents that he's actually forged. he's got copies on his phone. one is for a bank statement, another is for some payslips. and he's still forging, and boasting of bribing banking officials in vietnam to provide false paperwork. i'm good at this work. people trust me. i neverfail. how do you justify what you do here? you've come to the uk illegally. you're still breaking the law by assisting other people

to come here illegally. at the same time, you're taking british taxpayers' money to be fed, to be sheltered here in the uk. i just do paperwork. i help people to travel. i don't force them to take certain routes. why have you chosen to talk to us, to tell us all this about all the crimes that you've been party to? i want people in vietnam to understand the truth that life here is no better. they should stay at home rather than make a dangerousjourney and get deeper into debt. andrew harding with that report. around the world and across the uk, this is bbc news.

satellite images show strikes on sites used for missile sites in iran. let's start off this footage. it is filmed in tehran and you can see up peer iran's air defence system trying to intercept missiles. there wasn't a huge amount of material like this over the weekend, video showing the extent of strikes and damage and that is in part because some of the locations were quite remote. we do have more satellite images which help us build up a picture. we are working to verify as many sites as possible. you can see the map here, one near the border, one near tehran, another one up

here. if we move onto the we can see firstly at this strike on a military complex. see that building, that is before, this is a satellite image of after. you can see that building has been destroyed. 0ther you can see that building has been destroyed. other buildings at the site have been destroyed, too. that site has been linked to rocket production. part of this site is known as caliban too. that is known as caliban too. that is interesting because it has been linked to iran's nuclear weapon programme. let me show you another before and after picture. have a look at these buildings that we have circled down here. this is what they looked like before saturday's strike. afterward you can see the damage done. analysts say

this area is known for having a high concentration of infrastructure related to ballistic missiles. a final one to show you. this picture is much lower resolution. it is harder to see, but if you focus on this building, you can see it is gone. the damage is clear. this area is significant because it has been linked to long—range missile technology. most of the damage appears to be pretty precise and pretty contained, something that the israeli government claims. there are a lot of other sites that bbc verify has been spending time looking for. there is some damage around oil refineries we are looking at. from these sites which we have identified so far, it looks like from these sites that the

damage is to military sites. there was some pressure from the white house on israel to contain its strikes. the evidence suggests that that pressure may have worked. new un data says that concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are accumulating faster than at any time in human existence. the un's weather monitoring body found that levels had risen by 11% in the past two decades. new un data says that concentrations of greenhouse the concentration of c02 also rose in 2023. more wildfires and the onset of an el nino weather event, both adding to fossil fuel emissions. scientists say the last time these levels were seen was around three to five million years ago when global temperatures were between two to three degrees higher. they also noted some evidence showing that as the world warms trees aren't able to soak up the same ammount of c02 as they once were. the finding comes as the un says that efforts by governments to tackle

the causes of global warming are wildly off track. let's get more on this with our environment correspondent matt mcgrath. firstly, big picture, could you explain the situation for us, starting with what exactly are greenhouse gases and what they do. ~ ., ., ~' greenhouse gases and what they do. ~ . ., ,, ., do. we are talking about the three key — do. we are talking about the three key greenhouse - do. we are talking about the three key greenhouse gases| do. we are talking about the - three key greenhouse gases that built up in the atmosphere. some of them are soaked up by trees and by the sea, but some of them remain in our atmosphere for decades if not centuries. this report shows that the concentrations have increased to a level not seen increased to a level not seen in between three and 5 million years. what we have also seen in this report is the impact in 2023 of the other activities that humans are doing as well as using fossil fuels. they are burning forest fires. also the
