military invasion as a �*blot on his reputation' when the intelligence turned out to be wrong. and uefa has ruled that the england football team will have to play at least one game without fans over the chaos at wembley during the euros final. here in the uk, it s been a day of reflection as politicians paid tribute to the murdered mp sir david amess at a special parliamentary session. he was stabbed to death during a meeting with his constituents in essex on friday. in the last few minutes a remembrance service for sir david has ended. the service was held at st margaret's church, in the grounds of westminster abbey and led by the archbishop of canterbury. here's the archbishop. the noble calling for the noble to make all manner sacrifices both seen and unseen for the freedom and prosperity of our nation. and it is for that reason that across the nation we should be thankful to everyone who is here and throughout especially the house of commons. who give so much despite the cynicism, abuse and cruelty that they so often indoor. too often when great tragedies happen we have to reflect that the best seem to be the first to suffer. in this great tragedy there is a unanimous conviction amongst all who knew him that sir david was of the best.— david was of the best. earlier on monda a david was of the best. earlier on monday a special— david was of the best. earlier on monday a special parliamentary | monday a special parliamentary session was held in honour of sir david. there was a minute of silence and then for the next two hours mps took turns to pay tribute to him. here is prime minister boris johnson. we will not the manner of sir david's death in any way to detract from his accomplishments as a politician or as a human being. because sir david was a patriot who believed passionately in this country, and its people and its future. he was also one of the nicest, kindest and most gentle individuals ever to grace these ventures. sir david was the mp for the seaside town southend. throughout his time in parliament would regularly champion southend's case to officially be made a city. on that, heres the prime minister again. iam happy i am happy to announce that her majesty has agreed that south bend will be accorded a city status it so keenly deserves. next to speak was the leader of the opposition labour party. each tribute paints its own picture of a committed public servant of kindness— of a committed public servant of kindness and of a man whose decency touched _ kindness and of a man whose decency touched everybody that he met. taken together— touched everybody that he met. taken together these attributes are a powerful testimony to the respect, the affection and yes, the laws that david _ the affection and yes, the laws that david was _ the affection and yes, the laws that david was held in across politics and across — different communities. sir david amess' killing has brought back memories of the killing of another british politician, labour mpjo cox, just five years ago. hersister, kim leadbeater was elected to parliament earlier this year and also spoke. i'v e i've blocked out much of what happened whenjoe was murdered. but i remember very clearly the moment i took the phone call saying she had been attacked. i remember physically trembling and the visceral pain that overtook me. and it breaks my heart to think that another family has had to think that another family has had to experience that phone call and the nightmare which follows. it's a roller—coaster of deep trauma that no one should have to experience. i also know that david's family will still be in utter shock as i know many of you are. but i hope at some point they are able to hear at least some of the beautiful and very funny attributes that have been paid to him today. many people hope that the death would be a watershed moment but the issue of how the public interact with the politicians evidently remains an urgent want.

tribalism - at west minister not for tribalism but indeed for those tributes and a sense of solidarity amongst mps. not as you heard entirely serious, lots of affectionate antidotes about sir david amess himself. some certainly serious points to be made there. france wahoo which is heard from was one of david amess theyv two friends who campaigned for him when he stood for his previous seat back in 1992 when he held on unexpectedly. he had said since then the political discourse to change. he was calling for what he termed david's law. this online harm spill b and toughened up, stripping people and social media unlimited. people that even if they violently disagree in the house of comment about how to tell people that are there and help people often mps are vilified and abused. he said enough is enough. that was certainly one of the stronger contributions was of a contribution from one of his neighbours in magnitude to which the english older which is now of course will have city status confirmed upon us a long—standing campaign of david amess's recalled the trip that david amess made to the trip that david amess made to the vatican when apparently he had brought a cough sweet from his pocket at the wrong time and the pope and thought this must be a much valued object and decided to bless the suite. there is lots of these lighter moments amidst the serious tragedy. i think unsurprisingly some anger being expressed about mps safety given that violent death. keir starmer we heard a little bit from the earlier of the labour leader and had much the same sentiments in his speech asjoe cox did in her maiden speech to parliament as she of course was killed in 2016 and he also said that there is far more divisions are important, that's democracy but far more united then divided and that certainly felt to be the case. i think also an important contribution from the prime minister and saying very clearly that the manner of david amess's stats showed the financials up another former prime minister teresa mae pointing out although he never held ministerial office that he did actually have a great political legacy he managed to achieve a great deal for campaigning in law and he campaigned on a whole range of issues from animal welfare to better rates for children with disabilities. fin to better rates for children with disabilities.— to better rates for

people they represent to be broken and indeed one mp made a very clear that he would be giving into the kind of people who killed or attack mps in the past. there has been spent no mood for mps suddenly to put up huge security barriers or to meet people virtually or over resume. i think what's happening now is in attempts to search for consensus on how to better protect mps while still allowing access to voters to their constituents. the home secretary priti patel is in charge of security has said that she will be giving an update in the coming days, security is being reviewed in conjunction with the police. some measures already in place and constituencies surgeries is also advised, people can have panic buttons for example or clear exit routes behind them. that is a question whether to be police or security guards present throughout the weather there ought to be, it is also been raised, a airport security version may pick up metal object so that i think will probably see some movement towards enhancing security and local constituencies but i don't think there's any mood, any appetite for the barricades to go up and for him he used to be distant from those who put them in parliament in the first place. ? mps. tributes have been paid to colin powell. the former us secretary of state died at the age of 84 following complications from covid—19, although he was fully vaccinated. he's remembered for being the first african—american to represent america as secretary of state. and, for arguing at the united nations for war against iraq — based on intelligence about weapons of mass destruction — which turned out to be false. our north america editorjon sopel looks back at his life. until surinames citizens invasion of kuwait in 1990: paul was relatively unknown. after he became a household name as america's first black commander of the us military. he developed the powell doctrine, don't start a war unless you know how you're going to end it. in many ways he

statesman. and according to many of the tributes today a genuine american hero. colin powell died at the age of 80 for following complications from covid—19. he was fully vaccinated but also suffered from multiple myeloma a blood cancer which put them at a higher risk from covid—19. most people in the us have been remembering him today. barbara platt usher has been written tonight hearing some of those tributes. the tributes have been praising mister powell as a soldier, a person and a politician is very highly regarded on both sides of the aisle. was a particularly poignant tribute from lloyd austin the defence secretary who said that mister powell was one of the greatest leaders the world has witnessed but also he said i lost a tremendous friend and mentor, ifeel as if i have lost a tremendous friend and mentor, i feel as if i have a lost a tremendous friend and mentor, ifeel as if i have a hole in my heart. you also had quite a strong tribute from tony blair who said that colin powell was a towering figure in american military and political leadership. but again somebody who is hugely likeable and warm with a warm personality and a grand companion. you getting both of these elements coming in quite full simile. the professional side but also the personal side. so tributes from some. criticism from others. the journalist spencer ackerman tweeted "whatever else colin powell achieved in life, and it was a lot, he was the only man who could have stopped the iraq war and instead he chose to swallow his doubts about the disaster he knew it would be and sell the invasion." colin powell later came to say that episode was a "blot" on his reputation. warren strobel is national security reporter at the wall streetjournal. i think he grappled a lot with it, he was a proud man and once it became clear that there were new to eight no wmds in the intelligence, was wrong he was crestfallen to say the least. i don't think he george tended the cia director who showed him the intelligence was rock—solid. he knew that despite all his achievements, but a new to discuss, this would be part of his obituary and his legacy. despite playing that role in making the case to invade iraq, colin powell generally wasn't considered to be an ideological neoconservative — unlike the vice president dick cheney or the defence secretary donald rumsfeld. he was known to have argued with them — and with president george w bush — over the adminstration's iraq strategy. john negroponte was us ambassador to the uninted nations, at the time (sot one of his great accomplishments at the united nations was he succeeded in getting resolution 1441 was set “p in getting resolution 1441 was set up this intensified inspection regime of iraq and i think open and open and mine and others would be that those inspections would be allowed to go on long enough to demonstrate whether or not iraq clearly had met two weapons of mass destruction but people in washington were in such a hurry to go to war they never allow that process to play itself out entirely. i think that was one of the great tactical errors of the bush 43 administration. as well as his polticial and military career, colin powell's achievement for becoming the first black secretary of state, has been remembered today. in the early 2000s jack straw was colin powell's counterpart as foreign secretary in the uk. it's to ronald reagan scrape credit that he was spotted when he was a middle ranking officer in the military and taken into the white house to work there again at a middle ranking position. in british terms in his career was nurtured by republicans, not by democrats. but that goes back to the fact that at the time that he was a young man thatis the time that he was a young man that is southern democrats, the dixiecrat were in control and the sun states of the us and the republicans were the only really go to. colin powell led the way in breaking this awful ceiling above african americans and broke through itjust by a combination of determination and his own brilliance and potential goodness and greatness as well. and he succeeded, is quite remarkable given the fact that he grew up at the time of the most intense racial prejudice in the united states. russia is shutting down its diplomatic mission to nato in a tit—for—tat spying row. earlier this month the western military alliance expelled eight russians, accusing them of being �*undeclared russian intelligence officers'. and today russia hit back. here's its foreign ministr. translation: since 2014 nato has minimised any contact with our representative office. they announce complete cessation of corporation both in civilian areas and through the military. there are no contacts with the military at all. all this confirms that nato is not interested in any equal dialogue in anyjoint work. relations between russia and nato have deteriorated significantly since moscow annexed crimea from ukraine in 2014. for more background, here's steve rosenberg in moscow. well next month the russians will be withdrawing accreditation from all the staff at nato's military liaison and information officers in moscow. so they will have to pack up and go home. but also russia will be suspending activities of its own observer mission at nato. so the russians will be packing up and going on. in the russian foreign minister says that it nato needs to urgently get in touch with russia thanit urgently get in touch with russia than it will have to do so via the russian ambassador to belgium. so what does all this mean? it means of course that relations between russia and the nato alliance go from bad to worse. but this is not a surprise really because ever sense russia's annexation of crimea from ukraine in 2014 this relationship has been going in one direction, downhill. and each side blames the other. so nato accuses russia being a threat to international security and roger accuses nato of being a threat to russia's national security. malala yousafzai, the nobel peace prize laureate, has told the bbc that world leaders need to do more to defend girls' right to education in afghanistan, a month since the taliban banned girls from secondary schools. malala was shot by a taliban gunman as she left school in pakistan and now campaigns for girls access to education. this is her message. the tele— band must not deny women and girls a basic human rights. islam does not allow them to do that, human rights, legislations do not allow them to do that, they have not allow them to do that, they have no right to decide what women should do and what should where and what women should say, they have no right over that under any law, under any tradition. and right now when i hear the messages of afghan girls we know it is very clear that this is the message of afghan women and girls that they do not want to live in a society with their rights are denied to them. if you ever doubt they want education going an afghan girl right now. she will tell you that it means her future to her, now. she will tell you that it means herfuture to her, herfuture depends on access to education, on access to school. the taliban seized power on august 15th, pledging a softer version of their repressive regime of the 1990s and to protect women's rights. the evidence contradicts that. under taliban rule, teenage girls older than 12 have been excluded from school in most cities. women, except for those in the public health sector, have not been allowed to return to work yet. last month the women's affairs ministry was replaced by the feared vice and virtue ministry under which the taliban's morality police enforce strict religious doctrines. the bbc�*s yogita limaye obtained exclusive access to the ministry — she's pressed its spokesman on women's rights. your government, your leaders said that women should not return to work right now because of the security situation. you said the same thing about girls going to secondary schools. so it's not true that you have allowed them and they're not going. how much time? don't you think the women and girls in your country deserve to know when they can go back to the education, when they can go back to theirjobs? but many doubt the taliban's statements. here's malala again. we were here make statements from the tele— band from time to time and this is happened in the past as well. the tele— band would make no clears statement that girls are allowed to school. they asked tele— band. they are hesitant to say that. they are constantly saying they're working on it and they will announce it soon, sometimes they will say that they have allowed girls but girls and are choosing to go to school. so we would have to hear a mix of these responses but the reality is they would never issue a statement that yes, girls can go to school. it happened a month ago they announce explicitly that boys can go to their schools. so why can't they do the same for girls? and we have seenin do the same for girls? and we have seen in 1996 when they announce a temporary ban on girls education that lasted for five years. and i'm worried for my sisters and my two afghan girls that disband may miss class for five years. also sceptical is afghan women's rights advocate zarqa yaf—tali. i had very bad experience regarding the situation. while in 1996 tele— band came to kabul and they came over afghanistan ? taliban. that time i was student. we was faced with the same situation. before coming of taliban we had a number of girls that they would drop out from school but there were different reasons. one of the reasons was regarding security situation. this was a lack of a female teacher. also distance of the school from house. there was different causes for this wasn't one of them was security situation. but now as discrimination is systematic. this is systematic discrimination regarding girls education in afghanistan. i will see you in a couple of minutes' time. hello getting in quite a few parts of the country had temperatures of 18 today. it is likely to get warmer tomorrow if and when the sunshine does come out. the warmer air

decency. and the state department loved him for it stop by said it was a blot on his reputation when the intelligence that he chose turned out to be wrong on the iraq war. speaking on human rights and me and more as the military begins releasing thousands of prisoners were detained for opposing the military coup in february. the current secretary of state — antony blinken — spoke in the last hour — saying everyone at the state department knew, that colin powell had their back. secretary powell was beloved the state departments. and in our embassies and consulates around the world. he came to the state department after a long and extra new career in the us armed forces. he was general powell, former chairman of thejoint he was general powell, former chairman of the joint chiefs to be sworn in as our nation's top diplomat. after that, he was mister secretary. he gave the state department the very best of his leadership, his experience, his patriotism. he gave us his decency and the state department loved him for it. one of the things colin powell was known for was the so—called powell doctrine. that america should only go to war if a number of tests were met — among them. is a vital national security interest threatened? is there a plausible exit strategy? and does the united states have genuine broad international support? thomas fingar is a lecturer at stanford university. he worked with colin powell at the state department between 2001 and 2005. the doctrine was when he was joint chief of staff, chairman of the joint chief and it was know what your objectives are, make

georgia in the us — jury selection has began today in the trial of three white men who shot and killed ahmaud arbery — a black man who was out jogging, last year. 2020. black activists have called the killing a "modern—day lynching". this is what we know about what happened. ahmaud arbery was out on a run in the coastal city of brunswick in february last year. he was chased by gregory and travis mcmichael who claim mr arbery looked like a suspect in a series of local break—ins. their neighbour, william bryan, alsojoined the chase. bryan, who you see on the far right here, is the person who filmed the footage of travis, on the far left, shooting ahmaud arbery three times at close range. all three deny murder. police did not charge anyone for more than two months after shooting — until a national outcry, after bryan s own video of the confrontation, was leaked online. this dave means a lot to me. thinking back to when she was first killed, we went through three prosecutors, we went

now, a lot of people think of. year now, a lot of people think of those antiracism protests across the us as being about george floyd and certainly sparked by the video of the killing of george floyd in minneapolis but really, sentiment that something had to change was billed through the series of cases. ahmaud arbery was another one of them. it happened in february of last year and love the outrage wasn'tjust last year and love the outrage wasn't just three white last year and love the outrage wasn'tjust three white men deciding that they were just going to leave it to the police do theirjob, but there went to arm themselves and chase this man down. the third man joined that chase not recognising any of the people involved and just saw a black man being chased by two white men arejoined in. the case was treated afterwards where the father involved in this killing said to police, as a former officer himself, that this was about self—defense. that was taken as read, that was written in the report and effect leader found that he had even asked advice of the prosecutor in brunswick georgia for help in this case and she was later dismissed and indicted because of it. so, the outrage is not only about the debate is whether he was killed because he was a black man running through a white neighbourhood but also the way the police did not detain anyone, did not charge anyone for ten weeks until that video went viral. just so ou until that video went viral. just so you understand, _ until that video went viral. just so you understand, it— until that video went viral. just

light. we know from their statements that travis, the son in this case, used a terrible racial slur after having shot ahmaud arbery while he was dying on the ground. they do not dispute, they say was in self—defense but, it is being treated, these men are being charged with malice, murder in georgia but also for hate crime. myanmar�*s government says it will free more than 5,000 prisoners who were jailed for protesting against the military coup there in february. here's the man who seized power. for many different reasons, they participated in violent protests. among those who have been serving or facing trial, appropriate people will be given a pardon to perform merit. these show them being transported from the prison. created by relatives. min an line says over 5000 prisoners will be released to mark the buddhist holiday tu—din—jut later in october. we believe over 7000 were arrested, charged or sentenced during the crackdown earlier this year and over 1000 people were killed. the dissent followed aung san suu kyi being ousted from power by the coup. this the bbc�*sjonathan head covering the protests in march. the conflict in me and more is not a battle for control of individual neighbourhoods. residents and protesters barricading themselves in. police and soldiers sweeping through to get people off the streets. here, the protest organises used fire extinguishers to obscure the view. to try and avoid being shot. because that is what the military government is prepared to do to reassert its control. the security forces are also arresting large numbers of people. in this neighbourhood, it is seen arresting every resident they could. if there is a strategy in this shocking scene, it is perhaps to crash what is now a nationwide rebellion with brute force in the hope that the rest of the world will in time accept the reality of military rule once more and me and mark. ? myanmar. this release of these prisoners follows myanmar�*s military leader being excluded from a summit of the association of south east asian nations, asean. it meets annually — this is a picture from 2018. and has 10 members in the region. in a statement on myanmar�*s exclusion this time, our country is governed in line with the constitution. there are things that we cannot grant and negotiate at the demand of the invoice. here's more on that from jonathan head. it cannot be any coincidence that this is the most significant concession made by the military since it seized power in february and ask refuse, notjust refused but got much tougher in dealing with using shocking levels of violence to try and crash but is eventually become a massive uprising in military rule and that is the first big concession that comes right after the stinging diplomatic humiliation of the military government being excluded from the largest regional summit held later this month held by the regional grouping of which myanmar is a member. they have never done this to a member state and is largely symbolic but is given the military bit of a jolt and they've made this concession. this is a large number of prisoners and we believe all of them are people arrested in relation to their opposition to the coup and the numbers we have are something like seven to 8,000 have been detained often brutal conditions. many have been tortured in as been killed. it is a big concession but many people in myanmar will say ok, fine, what's next? will receive the military significantly tried in the conflict or is this just a token but the destroying out in hopes of easing the international pressure it is facing right now? tom andrews, un special rapporteur on human rights in myanmar. what is your reaction to this latest development? they're looking for the international community, money, it is looking for weapons and it is looking for legitimacy. it was a big step backwards from the third last month when they were unsuccessful in securing a seat at the un general assembly by the united nations and of course, today, another significant step back when they're not refusing to have the upcoming summit. it is being denied legitimacy and let's be very frank here, the people that are being released are released for exercising their basic human rights, their opposition to this coup d' tat. they did not get released because they decided that this is a terrible thing that we have been doing, let us change course, they're doing it precisely because of pressure. the lesson for all of us the pressure has an impact in the claims that there are impervious to international pressure is false and it's very important for us to continue to focus on all three sources of pressure, money, revenue flow, weapons and legitimacy. and sources of pressure, money, revenue flow, weapons and legitimacy. and to understand this _ flow, weapons and legitimacy. and to understand this pressure _ flow, weapons and legitimacy. and to understand this pressure further, - understand

is welcomed that these people are being released to their families and it's very welcoming sign. i think the lesson is that we've got to continue to build on the pressure and it's pressure that we are

knife attack, the tributes continued this evening at a church service at westminster abbey. here in the uk — uefa's disciplinary body has ordered the england football team to pay over 116,000 dollars and play at least one match without spectators as punishment for the disorder at wembley during the euros final. you may remember what happened. hundreds of fans tried to force their way into the ground without tickets to see england play italy. some climbed over fences, other stormed through barriers. there were outbreaks of fighting. uefa said the punishment was for �*lack of order and discipline'. the ruling means england will play behind closed doors at their opening home game of their 2022—23 nations league campaign. england's football association has responded. in a statement it

first time england men got to the final of the competition since 1966 and it was a clamour for tickets press explaining why so many were gathering outside of wimbley and hundreds did manage to get inside when they should not have. many said in the area reserved for players relatives in the england defender said later that his father suffered broken ribs before the game because he was caught up

of the country had temperatures of 18 today and it's likely to get warmer tomorrow if and when the sunshine does come out. the warmer air is coming our way thanks to the winds from the south or southwest. as we've seen already it is brought with it a lot of cloud, the cloud still around at the moment. this cloud here coming in from the atlantic is going to bring the next area of rain the earlier rain and drizzle is moving away and for a while there could be a few breaks in the cloud. that will lead to the odd mist and fog patch and then the ticket cloud arrives mainly across the western side of the uk to bring the rain to these areas. of course after the warmth that we had during the day then the temperatures are good of all very low overnight, 12 to 14 . we start with a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain around that could be heavy for a while over some of these western hills. mostly as we head into the afternoon the rain is in the north and west. it could cheer up again later across parts of northern ireland but ahead of the rain in the afternoon we should get some sunshine in east anglia and the southeast and it's here temperatures could reach 20 or 21 with a more typical of early summer. even when we have a cloud of outbreaks in rain at around 17 or 19 c was of a very mild day for the there is more rain in the forecast for wednesday. this time generally moving northwards across england and wales some thundery downpours possible. either side of that there's going to be some sunshine. still a mild day on wednesdayjust not quite as mild as tuesday. we've got this rain arriving in the northwest of scotland. that's going to be significant because to the north of that there is colder air. that will push the country across through the rest of the week and the weather will feel very different. we still have a tangle of weather fronts on the scene during wednesday as we head into thursday. these are the main ones drifting down across the uk bringing with it some showery outbreaks of rain. then those northerly winds come setting in and it's those northerly winds that will drop the temperatures as well. we've still got some outbreaks of rain to clear away from eastern parts of england on thursday. otherwise there will be some sunshine and a rash of showers, rash of showers in the far north over the higher ground may be of a wintry flavour as well. it's going to be a windy day. the winds generally from the north possibly touching gale force ransom north sea coast was up that of course will make it feel colder, very different from what were feeling at that moment put up 8 the best in northern scotland, 13 in southern england and wales. this is bbc news. the headlines... in this great tragedy, there is a unanimous conviction amongst all who knew him
