This is bbc world news. Gunman opened fire on his car. To run points the finger of blame at israel, saying it is trying to provoke a war. Three police are held over the beating of a black music producer. President macron describes the images as shame for france. Ue u. K. And e. Will resume brexit trade talksn in l this weekend, with fishing stocks likely to be a major flashpoint. And what kind can a japanese ninja teach us about staying safe during the pandemic . A very warm welcome if you are watching in the yucatanround the world. Ay with us for the latest news and analysis from here and across the globe. We begin with news that one of irans top Nuclear Scientists has been assassinated. He died of his wounds after gunfire on his car israel and western intelligence agencies accused him of being one of the founders of the countrys covert Nuclear Weapons program. Tweeted, terrorist murdered an imminent iranian scientist today. This cowardiceith serious indication of israeli roles indicate desperate warmongering of traders. Joining us is the executive Vice President of the nonpainisan tank the Quincy Institute for responsible statecraft. Its good to have you with us. What do you make of these development within the last few hours . Obviously, there is no clear evidence at this point, but israel is the most likely culprit here, because the combination of political intent and capacity to do this really reduces the list to only two co utries, thenited states and netanyahu has a c interest in this. If the iranianhe respond might get the war he has been trying to start for more in a decade. If not, it will dage prospects for new diplomacy hunter biden, but i think it is important to point out that ifsrael is behind it, it would do so without some form of atci leasta tagreen light from the trump administration. Whysr wouldl be targeting him in particular if that is indeed the case . Remember in 2018, when the israelis had arrayed in iran had a raidn an and confiscated a large number of documents, netanyahu sa remember his name. He is a key player. He has bn a target in the past, no successful attempt on his life until todayand he has been extremely heavily guarded. This is quite an embarrassment for the iranian government, that deep inside iranian territory, sun country could conduct such an a set some country could conduct suchnas anation. Has there been any word from israel or the u. S. Defense topartment, the pentagon . This is accordinhe news agencies. Dwhyou think the next step would be in thent e following this . The ball is in irans court, but also in europe and the biden team. If europe a the bid team condemn this, there is somewhat of a likelihood that the iranians will show restraint. A senior u. Sia off associated with the biden team tweeted about an hour ago the importance of irians showing restraint, but he also went further and called thisal a crim act, suggesting it would be a statesponsored act, which is quite critical, because the list of countries th could have done this is very small. Only a the united stat israel. That seems to be an indirect way for him to call out israel. In terms of the wider context of this, just earlier this month, concerns were raised over the amount of enriched uranium that iran has built up. How significant do you think the targeting of this man is, in that context . It is particularly important, because at the end of theay the past assassinations which israel did conduct did not have an effect on the trajectory of th Iranian Nuclear program. It had an impact on the program, t it was not a decisiv impact. When the obama admemistration cod these acts, they did so because they knew the target was not the nbelear program, use these assassinations will not have that type of an impact. The target back then was actually renewed diplomacy between the United States and iran. We are always grateful for you coming on. Thank you very much for your analysis. To coronavirus now and the u. K. Like other european countries, it has been ba a second wave of infection.

In sussex, tier two, official increasing in several areas. Fairly stable. Ings are in neighboring kent, they say the have been big increases, and peoplege over0 are a big concern, and hospital admissions are increasing.

E southeast are french president Emmanuel Macron says images of a black music pro by police are in shame for four French Police officers have been detained for questioning after a video showed the incidents. It has sparked outrage across the country. I am joined now by a journalist n basedris. Give us a sense of the reaction to this, then. There is a lot of outrage here in france, especiallafter anothe incident on monday, when Police Officers a evacuated a camp of migrants in the middle of paris, basically people out of their tents. Is here. A lot of outrage about people are increasing the pressure on the government. This comes as the government is trying to push through a new security law, which would make a criminal offense if you put pictures of Police Officersin online with thntion to harm them. Very vaguehats a term, and many people here are criticizing that new law, but it might go againstsu the ption of innocence, which is also very important here in france. How did this particular video of the incident come to life . Come to light . The music producer talked to a website, a that published a viral video that all happened last wkend. Police officers say there was a Security Camera inside the music studio. They said that the music producer trit to b them, but the pictures showed it wasnt the case. Linow these officers have been suspended and an investigation has been opened. You mentied the proposed law that would make an offense the photographing of Police Officers. How much likelihood does that have of making it into law . The pressure is mounting. As the presint said today on facebook, he is now looking into how to change that law so as to reestablish the link of trust with the population here. There are demonstrations going on, there is another one planned for tomorrow. Is not only the press that is saying it could kur tell press freedom, but other people who fear if they are being targeted or beaten up by police, there might not be any protection for them anymore. Prior to now, you had pictures where you could sw them what happened. When it comes to police treatmt of different racial and ethnic minorities,il some people draw parallels with the situation in the United States. Do you tnkhat is fair or is that excessive . There is element to that, absolutely. For years and years, there have been reports of police violence, where police have targeted people, especially in areascef frblack people or people of ethnic minoriti. People have been complaining that their complaints have not been heardonough, s this discussion is justified, i think. There have been many such cases here in france. To a different eent, in the u. S. You would have more people who died because Police Always bear arms. There is not much of tha not many people have died in france of police violence.

This time las year, this woma was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. As with many in her situation, the warning signsere missed. At first they told me to get some prune juice because i might be constipated, and that did not work. If i knew, and i could ask for it, i think the doctors would suggest, lets do this test. That could have helped me a lot a n test in england, designed to detect molecular changes in of blood caused by 50 typ cancer. 100 65,000 participants aged between 50 and 79 wil be asked to pilot the tests over the next three years. Thea is to diagnose at a much earlier stage, just 40 of ovarian cancers are currently found at stages one and two, when the tumor is smallest. But far more, 60 , found at stages three ath four, whe disease may he spread and options are more limited this is a hugely important moment in the fight to be able to detect cancers early, where treatments can make the most difference.
