Virtual emmy awards. Hello. Leaked documents have revealed how some of the uks best known banks have allowed criminals, money launderers, and sanctioned russians to move dirty money around the world. The secret banking reports also show how major banks have failed to stop crime when they suspect it. They show that london is a hub for money laundering, with billions of dollars of suspected dirty money moving through the financial system. The documents known as the fincen files were leaked to Buzzfeed News and shared with the bbc by the International Consortium of investigativejournalists. Richard bilton reports. Most of his body was submerged under water. The files show the reality of fraud. It can be a messy business. He was bound. He had coverings over his face. You knew that he was deceased. Raymonds body was found in a vineyard, and this is the dream that cost him his life. World Capital Market is managed by a team of experts. He was taken in by a scam. To make money, he needed to recruit other investors. When they lost money, he was murdered. Asia and europe. He was a victim in a scheme. He was a victim in a homicide. Just a true, true victim. Thousands lost money in the scam. The fraudsters stole 80 million. We have discovered that britains biggest bank helped them get away with it. Hsbc allowed the fraudsters to move the stolen cash around the world, even after the bank had been told it was a scam. The us part of the bank said it was unable to locate any accounts with the information stated on the subpoena. What hsbc did not tell the regulator is that those accounts were in another country. The bank then carried on moving more than 30 million of stolen cash from the uk and us to the fraudsters hsbc accounts in hong kong. So they had the information. They sat on it. That is when they were just as guilty as the fraudsters in perpetuating the scheme. They knew about it and did nothing about it. Hsbc did not comment on the fraud case but said it has been on a multi year journey to overhaul its ability to combat financial crime. But the files show the secret story is that banks often dont stop crime and suspect behaviour. The leak is of suspicious activity reports, what banks have to tell the authorities if they think their clients may be up to no good. These documents contain some of the Banking Systems most closely guarded secrets, the suspicions big banks have about their wealthiest clients. And they show how the system has failed to stop criminals from laundering their cash. Because banks have to send the reports, but they dont always act on them. This is an unprecedented and remarkable leak that tells us, as never before, what the banks know about suspicious money movements. There has never been a leak like it before. The secret reports show the way banks have really been behaving, placing the uk at the heart of global money laundering. Richard bilton, bbc news. Uk finance, a trade association for british banking, has given us this statement. The uk Health Secretary, matt hancock, has warned of a Tipping Point in the fight against coronavirus. He said that british people have a choice either everybody follows the rules, or further measures will be needed. But he told the bbc the government did not want to see a Second National lockdown. On monday, borisjohnsons key medical and scientific advisers, will deliver a televised briefing on the threat posed by current cases and projections. Heres our political correspondent, iain watson. When it comes to complying with the rules and restrictions, the government says we are more lax than some of our continental counterparts. So as coronavirus cases increase, expect to hear tougher messages on enforcement. The Health Secretary says we are at Tipping Point. If everybody follows the rules, then we can avoid further National Lockdowns. But we, of course, have to be prepared to take action if thats whats necessary. So we might be facing a further National Lockdown if people dont obey the rules . Thats exactly right. I dont rule it out. I dont want to see it. In just over a week from now on england, if you dont self isolate when you should, you could face an initial fine of £1,000, and up to £10,000. The Health Secretary says we should tell the police if we see a rule breakers, but in london, not everyone will take that advice. That whole thing of telling on your neighbour, i think breaking up community is the last thing that should be encouraged. If theres a hefty fine in place or Something Like that, people might toe the line a bit better. The chief medical officer, on his way to number ten today. He and the governments scientific advisers have been pushing for swift action to slow the viruss spread. The Prime Minister has been in top level meetings to discuss his options. But he is also under pressure from his next door neighbour, the chancellor, who doesnt want to see a fragile economic recovery killed off. So it is likely that we will see new temporary measures across england, but that these will also fall far short of a full National Lockdown. While schools and workplaces are likely to remain open, some of the restrictions imposed on local lockdowns seem set to spread across england. At this cafe in leeds, there is no enthusiasm for a possible curfew. Put a 10pm curfew, most buyers will probably decide not to open back up because the trade wont be worth it. But also, it could work in a different way where all the students, all the people who go out through the day, the bars make the same amount of money, but it will cause trouble through the day rather than the night. Labour say they will support whatever new steps the government takes, but. If i was the Prime Minister, i would apologise for the fact that we are in the situation with testing. Throughout the summer, we were saying, prepare for the autumn. Instead, we had the exams fiasco. I would make fixing testing the number one priority and reinstate the Daily Press Conferences so we all know whats going on. This is borisjohnsons key adviser, dominic cummings, leaving downing street tonight after a long series of meetings. He and his boss conclusion . We are all going to have to do better at following the rules if we are to bring coronavirus under control. Iain watson, bbc news. Across europe, cases have also been rising with governments introducing various measures to try to contain the virus. 0ur Health Correspondent Catherine Burns reports. The intensive care unit in marseille, one of the worst affected areas of france, a familiar sight across the world in spring and one becoming more common in parts of europe as winter approaches. In spain, this neighbourhood of madrid and many others will go back into lockdown tomorrow. People are concerned. I think there is an awareness or a realisation that we relaxed too much, as many other countries did. The question is, how do we compare to other countries across europe . Well, over the last fortnight, if you look at cases for every 100,000 people, spain is on the highest at around 300. France is approaching 200, belgium and the netherlands are just over 100 and were lower than that on 69 cases for every 100,000 people. But other countries are much lower still. Italy, sweden and germany are allaround 30, and cyprus isjust under ten. So the uk is at neither extreme, but the government is still watching the trends. Im not in this for a popularity contest, im in this to keep the country safe. The concern is that as cases start to rise, that would be followed by an increase in deaths too. So lets again take spain, for example. You can see the cases started to rise more and more sharply since the start of last month. There is an uptick in deaths too, but thats much more gradual at this point. So far in the uk, the number of deaths being reported is still relatively low, but there tends to be a two to three week lag in those worst cases from someone getting infected, slowly getting more sick to eventually dying. Empty streets in antwerp after a curfew was brought in this summer. The government likes to point to belgium as a more hopeful comparison, and stricter measures did seem to work there, but numbers are now starting to rise. We shouldnt seize on one particular country, but we should select best practice from a number of different places. The key thing is that we do need to act now. We need to take action to reduce household mixing and introduce other measures to avoid more avoidable deaths in the weeks and months to come. Right now, just as in the spring, we are potentially a few weeks behind countries with growing outbreaks in europe. The question is how far the government will be prepared to act to prevent us being another spain. Catherine burns, bbc news. The democratic nominee for president , joe biden, has lashed out at Donald Trumps decision to replace the late supreme courtjustice, ruth bader ginsburg, before novembers election. Mr biden appealed directly to senate republicans, to respect her dying wish for the next president to select her replacement, not, as he put it, to rush to jam a lifetime appointment through. Look, im not being naive, im not speaking to donald trump who will do whatever he wants. Im not speaking to Mitch Mcconnell who will do what he wants, and he does. Im speaking to those republicans out there, senate republicans, who know deep down what is right for the country and consistent with the constitution as i stand here in the Constitution Centre not just whats best for their party. 0ur washington correspondent, nomia iqbal, has more on the target audience for mr bidens comments. Joe biden knows the republicans. I dont think you spend half a century on the political stage and not make some friends. He was actually on the Senate Judicial committee which oversees the hearings for the supreme court. He actually oversaw justice ginsburgs, but as we are there, he is not appealing to trump, Mitch Mcconnell or, indeed, Lindsay Graham who is now head of that committee. Instead, he is going for those, as he says, with a conscience. Now, already two republican senators have come out to say they wont back a nomination disclosed to the election this close to the election. Susan collins and lisa murkowski. Another republican senator, he may be appealing to their with his pitch is potentially mitt romney, the utah senator also ran in 2012 for the president ial election, losing to 0bama. But more famously, he was the only republican to vote in favour of donald trump being impeached. To put it mildly, mitt romney and donald trump do not like each other. So joe biden will certainly be probably trying to get him on side, but ultimately, the democrats would need four republican senators in opposition to sink any potential nominee. Lets get some of the days other news. 0pposition campaigners in belarus say more than 130 people have been arrested around the country during the latest demonstrations against president Alexander Lukashenkos disputed re election. Most of the arrests were in the capital minsk, where this was a sixth consecutive sunday of protest. One person is missing and dozens have been evacuated from their homes, after torrential rain hit the south of france. As much as 35 centimetres of rain fell in parts of the gard region, near the cote dazur. 25 25 cm. Helicopters have carried out two rescue missions and around 200 people were moved to safety from two villages. Coastguards in finland will work through the night to stabilise a ferry that ran aground in the aland islands. More than 200 passengers have been evacuated from the vessel, and most of the crew have been taken safely to shore. The ferry makes daily trips between the swedish capital, stockholm, and the southern finnish port of turku. Stay with us on bbc news. Still to come will tuxedos be swapped for pyjamas . This years emmys are taking place as a virtual ceremony, with stars set to be presented awards from the comfort of their own homes. Ben johnson, the fastest man on earth, is flying home to canada in disgrace. All athletes should be clean going into the games. Im just happy that justice is served. It is a simple fact that this morning, these people were in their homes. Tonight, those homes have been burnt down by serbian soldiers and police. All the taliban positions along here have been strengthened presumably in case americans invade. Its no use in having a secret service which cannot preserve its own secrets against the world. And so, the British Government has no option but to continue this action even after any adverse judgement in australia. Concorde have crossed the atlantic faster than any plane ever before, breaking the record by six minutes. This is bbc news, the latest headlines. Leaked documents reveal how some uk banks have allowed criminals and money launderers to move billions of pounds around the world. The government in london says the country is at a Tipping Point, and warns restrictions could be tightened, as thousands more cases are recorded. Ajudge in california has halted the trump administrations attempt to ban downloads of the chinese owned app, wechat. The Us Department of commerce had wanted to force apple and alphabets google, to remove wechat for downloads by sunday evening. The white house says wechat and tiktok, which is also chinese owned threaten National Security. Both companies strongly deny this. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, explains whats behind this row between the us and china. A cold war is under way between the worlds leading two superpowers, though its been little noticed by voters dealing with a global pandemic. What started as a battle over trade escalated into threats over the Exchange Rate for the yuan and its now a major conflict. As ever in battles between ideologically conflicting superpowers, america and china are vying for technological supremacy. Two companies illustrate that battle huawei, with its dominance of 5g, and tiktok, a young entertainment platform already boasting over 800 million users. Come on, shake your body, baby, do the conga. I know you cant control yourself any longer. Tiktok is owned by bytedance, now with 100 billion. Its founder, zhang yiming, has pledged deep cooperation with the Chinese Communist party. Thats why politicians of all stripes in america see tiktok, like huawei, as a National Security threat, giving china access to the precious data and attention of american citizens. Donald trumps demand that it be sold to a non Chinese Company and that the us treasury get a cut might be illegal. Its unprecedented in the us, but such assertions of sovereignty are already Standard Practice in china, where platforms like youtube and whatsapp are blocked along with foreign sources of news and religious instruction, and where the web is a tool of surveillance. In a sense, then, donald trump is merely borrowing from chinas playbook. And these new methods of control go further than just the us and china. In india, for example, Narendra Modis government has banned tiktok and other chinese owned mobile apps. And other states have used various social media controls, monitoring and censorship. Tiktok, then, isntjust a platform for video pranks. It proves that there is a battle for the soul of the internet in an era of rising net nationalism, where governments say that countries and not companies should control the web. With almost half of humanity not yet online, how and if this big digital chill spreads could shape the 21st century. Tv stars around the globe are preparing to dial in to this years emmy awards, which will kick off as a virtual ceremony in around one hours time. This years nominations are led by hbos superhero series watchmen, and also drama succession. Jeremy irons and brian cox are both up for best actor we can now speak to michael schneider, whos Senior Editor at variety magazine and is covering tonights ceremony from los angeles. We go straight to one of my favourites, and perhaps one of the favourites, is succession. How do you rate its chances . Pretty good. It is the definite front runner. People really fell in love with the show, especially in hollywood, where it is all about the media barons backstab each other. Its the perfect show in hollywood. I expect big things for tonight. Brian cox does tend to steal the show whenever hes in it. That is a very strong ensemble. It is fantastic, brian cox is against one of his costars, jeremy strong. I would give the leg up tojeremy strong, strong. I would give the leg up to jeremy strong, but strong. I would give the leg up tojeremy strong, but i wouldnt be surprised if brian cox wins it as well. Hbo has had winners for years. If we look at the morning show from apple tv, hoping to share in the glory tonight what you think about it . The streamers have come on strong, netflix had an historic year at the emmys, 160 had an historic year at the emmys,160 nominations, more than any network in history. So apple tv with their. Jennifer aniston is among the front runners that could potentially win the drama actress award. But she has serious competition with laura linney. I thinki have to mention Olivia Coleman here in the uk, there are a lot of loyal viewers to the crown. Absolutely, people love giving Olivia Coleman awards, so i wouldnt be surprised if she went home with an ma. Just one more, i dont know whether dark visions of the future are in vogue at the moment, but the handmades tailed has really gripped audiences. And thats done very well in the past, its won several emmys including best drama. Its won several emmys including best dramalj its won several emmys including best drama. I think you will be foreshadowed a bit by some of the newer shows, but its deftly on peoples minds these days. So its definitely a contender. Just a final thought about this is virtual does that mean there are no stars to be seen in la . Very few, most are at home. Jimmy kimmel is hosting the show at the Staples Centre by himself. A couple stars willjoin in, socially distanced, of course, but theyve sent out 130 cameras to stars all over the world, not just cameras to stars all over the world, notjust in los angeles, but tel aviv, berlin, etc. So we will see how they managed to pull off this unconventional workshop. Have a great night, michael, thank you. Thanks. A Memorial Service marking 80 years since the battle of britain has been held at Westminster Abbey. The battle was a dramatic turning point in world war ii, when 1,500 pilots and aircrew lost their lives fighting the german airforce. The service was the abbeys first major event since lockdown. Sarah campbell reports. The sights and sounds of 19110 as a hurricane and three spitfires flew over london today. 80 years ago, the stakes couldnt have been higher. Sir Winston Churchill famously called the young pilots the few. Newsreel hurricanes and spitfires roar into action. It was the first time a Major Military battle was fought in the air. The nazis plan was to overwhelm the allied air defences and then launch a full on invasion. Their plan failed. Today, the Prime Minister arrived at Westminster Abbey to remember those who fought so courageously, along with the leader of the opposition, all in masks, in this, the First Major Service to have taken place at the abbey since lockdown began in march. Fanfare. More than 2,000 people would usually attend the service of remembrance, which has been held here every year since 19114. The pandemic meant numbers were restricted to fewer than 100, with no veterans present. However, their legacy and what they achieved against the odds lives on. Some events, some people, are not just significant. They are pivotal. The battle of britain was one of those pivotal events, and likewise, those who served in it, ourfriends from other nations, those working on the ground, ourfamilies at home, every one of them. Carried through the abbey, the battle of britain roll of honour, which bears the names of the 1,497 pilots and aircrew who made the ultimate sacrifice. Last post plays. As the service ended, the rafs aerial tribute. The heroism of those who took to the skies 80 years ago remembered. Sarah campbell, bbc news. A total of 27 sarcophagi buried more than 2500 years ago have been unearthed by archaeologists in an ancient egyptian necropolis. They were found inside a newly discovered well in an area south of cairo. The discovery has been described as one of the largest of its kind, with colourfully painted wooden coffins and other smaller artifacts. The location is a designated unesco World Heritage site. Just a reminder of our top story a huge leak of documents has revealed how billions of dollars of illicit funds have been laundered through some of the worlds biggest banks. The information was gathered largely through details submitted by the bank themselves to regulators in the united states. And theres a lot more about that, all the detail and the implications can be found on the bbcs website. You can reach me on twitter im at philippabbc. Thanks for watching. Hello there. In many places over the weekend, it felt like summer with temperatures as high as 25 degrees. The new week gets off to a summery start as well, but it will not end that way. Things through this week are going to become much more autumnal, as this band of cloud starts to work its way in our direction. Now, this area of cloud is going to bring some outbreaks of rain, but it also separates the relatively warm air we have had lately from some much, much colder air which is going to head our way, sweeping in from the northwest as we head through the coming days. But in the shorter term, through monday morning, some mist and fog, some low cloud too could affect parts of england and wales. That will tend to clear as we go through the day, and then it should be largely dry and sunny. Sunnier than it was on sunday across northeast england, also southeast scotland brighter, some sunshine into parts of aberdeenshire, temperatures in aberdeen getting up to around 19 degrees. But for western scotland and Northern Ireland, with more cloud, more of a breeze, it will be just a touch cooler at 16 17 degrees. Now, as we had through monday night into tuesday, we will see extensive cloud across the northwest of the uk, and the first signs of some outbreaks of rain, some pretty heavy rain into the far north and west. Further south, some clear spells, a relatively mild night certainly compared with some of the nights we will have later in the week. Into tuesday, for england and wales, its largely dry, could be the odd shower in the west, but for Northern Ireland and scotland, we see thicker cloud, we see outbreaks of rain. It will be increasingly windy. We could have gusts close to 50 mph in the far northwest. Ahead of that band of cloud and rain, its still relatively warm. In fact, we could get to 25 degrees towards the southeast corner. But that warmth will not last. Through tuesday night into wednesday morning, we see this band of rain, our weather front pushing further south eastwards, and behind it, as the winds switch around to northwesterlies, things turn much, much colder. So, for wednesday morning, scotland and Northern Ireland starting today at 5 6 degrees. 16 degrees in southeast england, but even here, its going to turn clear through wednesday as this frontal system moves its way through. It will bring some rain in places during wednesday, but see how the temperatures drop. It stays much, much cooler by day and by night as we head towards the end of the week with further wind and rain at times. This is bbc news, the headlines. Leaked documents have revealed how some uk banks have helped criminals, money launderers and russians under sanctions and have also failed to stop crime when they suspected it. The documents known as the fincen files were leaked to Buzzfeed News and shared with the bbc by the International Consortium of investigativejournalists. The uk Health Secretary, matt hancock, has warned of a Tipping Point in the fight against coronavirus. He said that british people have a choice either everybody follows the rules or further measures will be needed. The democratic partys president ial candidates, joe biden, has said it would be an abuse of power if republican senators confirmed any Us Supreme Court nominee put forward by donald trump before novembers election. Mr trump is rushing to fill the vacancy left by the death of ruth bader ginsburg. Now on bbc news, its time for hardtalk
